All Asia Asset Capital (AIM: AAA), an investing company focused on investing in the growing markets of the Asia Pacific region, today announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report the results of All Asia Asset Capital Limited (the "Company") together with its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

Business Review

During the six months ended 30 June 2018 the Company continued its focus on Myanmar. The Company retained its investment in Myanmar Allure Group Co., Ltd., ("MAG"), which owns and operates the Allure Resort, a combined hotel, resort and gaming facility located in Tachileik province, Myanmar, in the vicinity of the Thailand-Myanmar Mae Sai border.

In maintaining its minority investment of 7 per cent in MAG, the Board maintains its positive outlook regarding the long-term outlook towards Myanmar and the hotel, resort and gaming sector in particular.

During the period, MAG continued its search for partnership opportunities as well as seeking to leverage its prime position for foreign gaming partners to collaborate in the expansion of its Tachileik facilities.

Furthermore, the Board of AAA understands that MAG continues to work on plans to expand its facilities starting in 2019. The expected construction time is one year, with an increase in revenue streams and capacity expected to start during 2020. The preliminary capital outlay for the expansion of MAG's facilities will be approximately £6.09 million and this funding is anticipated to be raised via a loan from MAG's majority shareholder.

Notwithstanding these developments, the Company continues to actively seek realisation of its investment in MAG, although the Company has yet to engage in any advanced discussions with third parties in respect of realising AAA's interest in MAG.

The proceeds from the disposal of the Company's minority interests in APU during the year ended 31 December 2017 continues to provide the Company with working capital in order to allow the Company to continue its operations and refocus its energies to pave the way towards delivering shareholder value by finding new investment opportunities.

Financial Results

During the six months ended 30 June 2018 the Company incurred a net loss of £0.12 million (six months ended 30 June 2017: net profit of £1.21 million). The loss was attributable to Administrative expenses incurred by the Company.

During the six months ended 30 June 2018, the main asset of the Group consisted of its investment in MAG. AAA's investments in MAG were valued by an independent third-party valuer at a fair value of £1.24 million as at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: carrying value of MAG - £1.21 million).

Notwithstanding the Company's careful control of running costs, the cash reserves continue to reduce. As at 30 June 2018 the net assets of the Group were £1.49 million (31 December 2017: net assets of £1.56 million) and the Group had cash and cash equivalents of £0.28 million (31 December 2017: cash and cash equivalents of £0.37 million). Annual expenditure of the Group is running at circa £0.25 million.

Board Changes

On 30 July 2018, during the Annual General Meeting of the Company, the resolution to re-appoint Robert Anthony Rowland Berkeley to the Board of Directors as Executive Chairman and Finance Director was passed.

On 2 November 2016, the Company announced that it was considering a proposal to amend the existing investing policy of the Company and it was noted that this change in investing policy would be subject to approval of shareholders. The Company intends to re-assess this proposal once it has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer.

Economic Outlook

With the Company's sole investment at the present time being situated in Myanmar, it is worth reviewing Myanmar's current economic environment. In the World Bank's May 2018 Myanmar Economic Monitor report, the overall assessment was an improved economic growth performance during fiscal year 2017/18, with a real GDP growth of 6.4 per cent. This signaled an about-turn from the more modest experience of fiscal year 2016/17 which saw 5.9 per cent real GDP growth amid a deteriorating outlook at the time. Furthermore, inflation pressure has moderated and the current account deficit has narrowed against the backdrop of strong export growth, whilst exchange rates were stable during that period.

Within the tourism and hospitality sector, according to statistical data published by Myanmar's Ministry of Hotels & Tourism, visitor arrivals increased by approximately 500,000, to a total 3.443 million arrivals, with the majority of these (over 400,000) arriving through border gateways. This may have helped offset shorter stays and marginally less daily tourism spend as, according to a World Bank report, Myanmar experienced flat tourism-related earnings in 2017/18, attributed to international concerns about the Rakhine humanitarian crisis which the Board of AAA remains acutely aware of. Despite some protracted risk factors arising within certain sectors, the economic outlook remains buoyant for Myanmar, with the World Bank's May 2018 Myanmar Economic Monitor projecting growth at 6.8 percent for the 2018/19 fiscal year.

Appreciation

I would like to thank all the hard work my fellow Board members and staff, our advisers and of course our shareholders for their continuing support for AAA. I sincerely hope that the Company will continue to enjoy such support towards the development of the Group in the years to come.
