(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings for London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Mercantile Ports & Logistics Ltd - India-focused developer of a port and logistics facility - Pretax loss widens to GBP18.0 million in the six months to June 30 from GBP6.0 million the year prior as revenue drops to GBP976,000 from GBP1.1 million. Mercantile explains performance was impacted by the ongoing negotiations with its lenders, given that the company has been engaged for nearly two years with its banks to refinance the debt held by its Indian lenders. Says business operations on the ground have been constrained by the uncertainty and the time taken to conclude the debt settlement process. Notes ongoing litigation surrounding this with a court interim ruling due in October. As and when the position with the lenders is resolved, the board remains "confident in the prospects of its facility and the board looks forward to updating investors in due course."

Revenue drops to USD2.5 million from USD2.1 million reflecting the processing of concentrates with a higher molybdenum content than in the prior year, benefiting from the currently high molybdenum prices.
