Portfolio Overview

The third quarter was heavily dominated by policy action by developed world central banks which helped spur positive asset price performance. Fundamentals however, remained pretty much unchanged; that is Europe continues to struggle with growth whilst the Emerging Markets, despite experiencing some contraction generally appear robust. Data from the US would suggest that economic conditions there are getting better although headwinds do exist most notably the impeding fiscal cliff. Whilst developed world central banks turned to the printing presses in Q3 to stimulate their economies, Emerging Markets central banks have cut interest rates and in some cases embarked on infrastructure spending, thus laying the foundations for long term economic prosperity.

NAV performance over the period was driven by a mixture of mark to market price movements as well revaluations by third party valuation agents. As reported in previous monthly fund updates, Digicable's intended merger with Reliance Communications failed to materialise for regulatory reasons. In Q4 2011, the Indian government mandated digitisation of the Indian cable TV in several phases over a 3 year period. This left Digicable in a difficult position with 8 million subscribers, but with massive up-front capital costs to subsidise digital set-top boxes for them, in order to achieve the mandated timetable for digitisation. As per the Reliance plans we had been working on consolidation in this fragmented industry and we have now exited our position in this company to Sahara, an Indian business group. Increased competition in the telecoms space has led to ECI announcing a restructure of its business. The third party valuation agent marked the asset down over the period which reflected much of the restructuring activities, in addition to industry comparables. AEI and Sweta were marked up over the period. AEI successfully disposed of its non-core assets , while Sweta benefitted from higher prices and revenues on its Central Park II development. Bangkok Land, EMTEK and MCX saw strong share price performance over the quarter. Bangkok Land announced a strong set of results for the period ending 30 June 2012 where net quarter profit increased almost 6-fold primarily due to the result of higher sales of real estate as well as exhibition and convention revenue compared to last year.

Recent company events

ETH Bioenergia

ETHB's began its 2012/13 harvest season in April, with all 9 mills in operation for the first time. Weather problems continued into the current harvest season, with a delayed start to harvest and above-average rainfall in April reducing production at the outset of the season. Production has picked up, however, and ETHB still expects to crush close to 20 million tons of sugarcane this season. Industry-wide production is expected to edge up this coming harvest season, after two seasons of weather-related production shortages. Despite a benign supply/demand dynamic, domestic ethanol prices have been stagnant for the past 9 months, capped by regulated gasoline prices which are widely expected to be raised later this year.

EMTEK

The turnaround of Indosiar continues with per minute ad rates increasing from cross selling across SCTV and EMTEK and increased industry pricing power. A new programming line-up combining high quality foreign and in-house productions has protected ratings - the combined operations were No 1 for April and May and 2 for June

AEI

AEI continued to execute on its plan comprised of i) non-core asset sales, ii) development of existing greenfield projects and iii) concentration on core Latin American power generation business. Sales of the 3 largest non-core assets, Huatong, GTB/TBG and Trakya, were all signed during the quarter. Gross proceeds of over $500 million are expected to be received as these sales close in early Q3, and will be subject to certain escrows and applicable fees and taxes. Net proceeds will be used to fund existing Greenfield projects, with any excess to be distributed to shareholders. Greenfield projects continue to progress, although the Jaguar project in Guatemala is experiencing delays as the EPC contractor is experiencing delays in getting visas for its workers to enter Guatemala. AEI is working with the EPC contractor and with visa authorities to remediate. Performing assets performed above budget through April; however, scheduled maintenance at San Felipe uncovered major maintenance items that were not anticipated. EBITDA impact of the San Felipe maintenance is expected to be $6-8 million.

Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX)

MCX became the 3rd largest commodity futures exchange globally in terms of contracts traded in CY11. MCX reported strong growth and performance in FY12, revenue increased by 41%; transaction revenue grew by 45%, net profit growth of 71% and EBITDA margins expanded to 70% (60% in FY11).

Alphaland

All the main construction projects (Balescin Resort, Makati Place Residential and City Club and the Alphaland Tower) continue to come in at or ahead of budget and time. Sales and marketing efforts for all the projects are underway with good progress to date and we expect them to accelerate as the projects are finished and newly hired sales staff become productive.
