ATLANTIS RESOURCES LIMITED

("Atlantis")

 

Interim Results

 

Atlantis, owner of the world's largest planned tidal stream energy project, MeyGen Limited ("MeyGen"), is pleased to announce its Interim Results for the six months to 30 June 2014.

 

Highlights

 

MeyGen Project

· In September, MeyGen achieved financial close of a £51 million funding package for delivery of the first 6MW stage of the project, Phase 1A. The funding syndicate includes Atlantis, the UK government's Department of Energy & Climate Change, The Crown Estate, Scottish Enterprise (through the Renewable Energy Investment Fund), and Highlands and Islands Enterprise

· MeyGen has also entered into supply and construction contracts for Phase 1A, including turbine supply contracts with Atlantis and Andritz Hydro Hammerfest (UK) Limited for a total of four 1.5MW tidal turbines

 

Turbine Technology

· In March, Atlantis and Lockheed Martin Corporation formally commenced the AR1500 turbine detailed design programme, which is due for completion at the end of the year. This includes the systems integration scope for all the turbine sub-assemblies

· During March, Atlantis also completed a consulting contract for Carnegie Wave Energy Ltd for initial analysis of array configurations to reduce cost of energy, and has agreed a second phase of work which is now underway

 

Other Projects

· Atlantis continues to work with Lockheed Martin Corporation and the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy in pursuit of development opportunities in Canada

· Atlantis has reached agreement with the Energy Technologies Institute for commencement of the £7.5 million Phase 2 of the Tidal Energy Converter project, which will involve detailed design and demonstration of the innovative concepts identified in Phase 1

 

Corporate

· In February, Atlantis successfully completed its listing and initial public offering on AIM, raising £12 million

· Also in February, Atlantis announced that it had been awarded €7.7 million for the development of a multi-turbine array using Atlantis' AR1500 turbine at the MeyGen site, following a grant application to the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme during 2013

· In July, Atlantis formally opened its new Edinburgh office, from which it will deliver the MeyGen project and build a projects and engineering hub. This has been supported through a £2 million loan from Scottish Enterprise, through its Renewable Energy Investment Fund

 

 

Tim Cornelius, Chief Executive of Atlantis, said:

"The first half of 2014 was a very busy period for Atlantis with our successful admission to AIM raising £12m from investors in February.

 

"Post the period end, on 18 September 2014, the most significant milestone in Atlantis' history was reached when the MeyGen project reached financial close on a £51m funding package. This is a great achievement for the company and marks the significant time and effort that has been invested by the company and its partners. The outlook for Atlantis remains strong and the Board looks to the future with confidence."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

The first 6 months of 2014 have seen the achievement of some significant milestones across the Atlantis group. In February, we became the world's first tidal energy company to float on London's AIM exchange, raising £12 million in our initial public offering. In the same month we announced grant funding support of €7.7 million through the European Commission towards the development of a multi-turbine array using Atlantis' turbines on the MeyGen site, and the entry into a £2 million loan from Scottish Enterprise's Renewable Energy Investment Fund. The latter was provided in support of the opening of our new office in Edinburgh, where we have now established the MeyGen project team. This office will serve as our technology and projects hub for the group.

 

September heralded a seminal moment for Atlantis and the tidal power industry when we achieved financial close for a £51 million funding package for Phase 1A of the MeyGen project. We have also reached agreement to continue into the detailed design and demonstration phase of the Energy Technology Institute's Tidal Energy Converter project, which will ensure that Atlantis remains at the forefront of tidal energy technology development. This represents a £7.5 million investment by the ETI.

 

I look forward to providing you with further updates in the coming months as we progress with construction of the MeyGen project, marking the next stage in Atlantis' and the tidal power industry's development.

BUSINESS UPDATE

 

2014 has been an exciting year to date, notably marking our transition to a public company and celebrating the finalisation of a £51 million funding package for the world's first full scale tidal stream array. The commencement of construction on Phase 1A of the MeyGen array in the second half of this year will be the culmination of over 5 years of origination and development effort to realise this project. The broad support the company has received through this process is reflected in the diversity of our funding syndicate, which includes the UK government, Scottish Enterprise, The Crown Estate, and Highlands and Islands Enterprise. We look forward to providing further updates as we progress with the works on site.

 

The technology side of our business has also made headway so far this year, with formal commencement of the AR1500 detailed design contract with Lockheed Martin in March. We have been working with key subcontractors to agree terms for long lead components in readiness to deliver the first turbine to MeyGen next year, and we're also preparing for commencement of the detailed design phase of the ETI's Tidal Energy Converter project, scheduled to commence in Q3 2014.

 

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

 

The group significantly strengthened its balance sheet over the six months to 30 June 2014 as a result of the funds raised from its initial public offering as well as the conversion of shareholder loans on admission of the company shares to trading on AIM. The group's net asset position was strengthened from S$21.6 million at 31 December 2013 to S$76.4 million at 30 June 2014, with total loans and borrowings reduced from S$51.2 million to S$18.3 million.

 

The company generated S$170,000 of revenue in the 6 months to June 2014 from the provision of consulting services to Carnegie Wave Energy Limited. Cash generated from financing activities, including grants received and proceeds from the initial public offering in February, was S$31.1 million.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

 

These notes form an integral part of the consolidated interim financial statements.

The consolidated interim financial statements comprise those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). These consolidated interim financial statements do not constitute the Group's statutory accounts within the meaning in the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 May 2014, and delivered to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore. The report of the auditors in the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013 was (i) unqualified (ii) did not include reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report.

The consolidated interim financial statements is unaudited but has been formally reviewed by the auditors and their report to the Company is set out on page 1. The consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 September 2014.

1. Domicile and activities

Atlantis Resources Limited is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore with its principal place of business and registered office at 65 Niven Road, Singapore 228414.

The principal activity of the Company is that of pioneering the development of tidal current power as the most reliable, economic and secure form of renewable energy. The Company is an inventor, developer, owner, marketer and licensor of technology, intellectual property, trademarks, products and services.

2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34").

Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The consolidated interim financial statements, which do not include the full disclosures of the type normally included in a complete set of consolidated financial statements, are to be read in conjunction with the last issued consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

3. Significant accounting policies

Except for the new and revised IASs effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 adopted during the six month period ended 30 June 2014, and except as disclosed below, the accounting policies and method of computation used in the consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the last issued consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013.

During the period, the Group has changed the presentation of the analysis of expenses from the "function of expense" method to "nature of expense" method to provide the consolidated interim financial statements users a more reliable and relevant information of the expenses incurred by the Group. Certain comparative information has been updated to conform with the change in presentation of analysis of expenses.

The adoption of the new and revised IASs for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 does not have a significant effect on the consolidated interim financial statements of the Group.

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not effective for the six months ended 30 June 2014 have not been applied in preparing these consolidated interim financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated interim financial statements of the Group.

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this set of consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

5. Going concern basis

The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through shareholders' funding, loans and grants. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated interim financial statements.

6. Seasonality of operations

The Group's businesses are not affected significantly by seasonal or cyclical factors during the financial period.

The long term loans are related to loans obtained by a subsidiary acquired by the Company in 2013. During the acquisition, the long term loans were recorded at fair value. Subsequent to the acquisition, the long term loans were recorded at amortised cost. The interest expense of S$698,000 relating to the long term loans includes the re-measurement of the long term loans on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest rate method.

9. Property, plant and equipment

There are no material additions or disposals during the period.

10. Intangible assets

Total expenditure on turbine development and project development for the period amounted to S$4,960,000. Of this, S$2,598,000 related to the Group's tidal turbine development programme, in particular expenditure on the detailed design of and system integration for the Group's AR1500 turbine.

A further S$2,362,000 of expenditure related to the development of the MeyGen tidal power project at the Inner Sound off the Scottish coast was capitalised during the period. Included in the capitalised development costs is an amount of S$559,000 that represents borrowing costs capitalised during the period. The project is progressing according to plan and management estimates the recoverable amount to be higher than the carrying amount such that no impairment was required.

The encumbered deposits of S$5,945,000 served as collateral in support of the provision of bank guarantees on behalf of subsidiaries of the Group. An aggregate amount of S$1,990,000 of this collateral was used in support of the provision of standby letters of credit on behalf of MeyGen Limited to secure the MeyGen project's electricity transmission capacity.

The remaining S$3,955,000 of the collateral supported a bank guarantee that was required to secure an advance payment of the same amount received from the European Commission as part of the pre-funding of a grant obtained from European Commission, which was released subsequent to the period end.

12. Trade and other receivables

With reference to the trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2013, other receivables due from a shareholder and a director of S$57,000 and S$209,000 respectively were received during the period.

13. Other assets

In relation to the option to enter into a seabed lease for the MeyGen project, at the reporting date, management estimates the recoverable amount to be higher than the carrying amount and therefore no impairment was required.

Upon admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, all convertible loans were converted into ordinary shares of the Company at the price of shares issued in the initial public offering less a discount of 10%. S$36,970,000 of convertible loans from directors and shareholders were converted into 18,668,000 ordinary shares.

In February 2014, Atlantis Resources (Scotland) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Scottish Enterprise (as administrator of the Renewable Energy Investment Fund) and Atlantis Resources Limited (as guarantor). Of the S$4.3 million (£2.0 million) principal amount of the loan, S$3.2 million (£1.5 million) had already been drawn down by 30 June 2014, with the final S$1.1 million (£0.5 million) drawn down in August 2014. The loan is to be used to support the development of Atlantis Resources (Scotland) Limited's engineering hub in Scotland and in support of the development of the initial phase of the MeyGen project. The interest rate on the loan is 12% per annum with interest accrued and capitalised each six months. The loan plus all accrued and capitalised interest is repayable on the fifth anniversary of the first drawdown of the loan.

The Company also received a bridging loan of S$504,000 (A$400,000) from a shareholder secured by way of a floating charge over its assets in February 2014. The loan was repaid in March 2014.

Other than the above, there were no changes in the terms and conditions of any of the remaining loans. No covenants of any loans have been breached.

(b) Financial risk management policies and objectives

The Group is exposed to various financial risks arising in the normal course of business. It has adopted financial risk management policies and utilised a variety of techniques to manage its exposure to these risks.

The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

There has been no change to the Group's exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis indicated below.

(i) Foreign exchange risk management

The Group transacts business in various foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, British pounds, Euros and United States dollars and therefore is exposed to foreign exchange risk.

At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other than the respective Group entities' functional currencies are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity

The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk to key management personnel is 10%, which is the sensitivity rate which represents management's assessment of the likely potential change in foreign exchange rates.

If the relevant foreign currencies were to strengthen by 10% against the functional currency of each Group entity, profit and loss will increase (decrease) by:

Australian dollars

British pounds

Euros

United States dollars

(ii) Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk arises from the potential change in interest rates that may have an adverse effect on the Group in the current reporting period or in future periods.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is limited to the effects of fluctuation in bank interest rate on cash and cash equivalents as well as LIBOR rates on loans and borrowings.

As at the end of the reporting period, if the 12-month LIBOR rates had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the Group's loss before tax would have been approximately S$158,000 higher/lower, arising mainly as a result of higher/lower finance costs.

(iii) Equity price risk management

The Group is not exposed to equity price risks as it holds minimal equity investments. Equity price sensitivity has not been analysed as the impact on the Group's profit or loss is not expected to be significant.

(iv) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in financial loss to the Group.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset as at the end of the reporting period.

Cash at bank is held with creditworthy financial institutions.

(v) Liquidity risk management

The Group actively manages its operating cash flows and the availability of funding through maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance their activities.

Current financial liabilities at 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 are repayable on demand or due within one period from the end of the reporting period. Other than the loans and borrowings, the remaining financial liabilities are non-interest bearing.

 

(vi) Analysis of financial instruments by remaining contractual maturities.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period based on the contractual undiscounted repayment obligations.

The interest rate used to discount estimated cash flows, where applicable, are based on the unsecured long term cost of borrowings rate of 12%. There were no transfers between levels 2 and 3 during the period.

(c) Capital risk management policies and objectives

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to owners of the parent, comprising issued capital and accumulated losses as well as loans due to shareholders, related parties and third parties.

The Company's capital is represented by the sum of loans and borrowings and shareholders' equity in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014 of S$94,709,000 (31 December 2013: S$72,798,000).

The Company's objectives when maintaining capital are:

(i) to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

(ii) to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

Also in August 2014, the European Commission released the S$3,955,000 equivalent bank guarantee that had been cash collateralised by a subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, in August 2014 the Company announced that it had been awarded a £7.5 million contract from the Energy Technologies Institute for Phase 2 of the Tidal Energy Converter project.
