Vietnam Infrastructure Limited

 

Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2010

 

Vietnam Infrastructure Limited (the "Company" or "VNI") (VNI.L), the first publicly traded fund to focus on investment into infrastructure assets in Vietnam, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2010 ("the Period").

 

Financial highlights

 

·; Net loss for the Period of USD26.7 million (HY09: USD5.3 million net profit).

·; Net loss per share of USD0.07 for the Period (HY09: USD0.01 net profit).

·; Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2010 of USD74.5 million.

·; Net asset value at 31 December 2010 of USD230 million representing USD0.57 per share.

 

Operational highlights

 

·; Held a groundbreaking for the Long An SEA Industrial Park and brought in Dong Tam Group as partner.

·; Handover completed on the first 60-hectare parcel of the Ba Thien 2 Industrial Park project.

·; Investee HNEM started operations of its first hydropower plant, and started construction on a second plant.

·; Investee Nam Viet Oil completed the expansion of its condensate refinery from 2,000 to 5,000 barrels per day, and obtained a petroleum import-export licence.

·; VNI partially realised its investment in ITA, a listed industrial park owner and operator.

 

Commenting, Tony Hsun, Managing Director of the Company's Investment Manager, said:

"Vietnam's infrastructure environment continues to see demand outstrip the supply of power, transport and utilities. Currently, the best investment opportunities for our fund lie in services and logistics, including untapped areas like agriculture-related infrastructure. This year should see the fund fully invested, particularly as there are excellent opportunities in OTC and pre-IPO assets that are near to listing on the stock market. VNI remains in close touch with shareholders, and the fund remains committed to starting distributions later in 2011."

Chairman's Statement

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

We are pleased to present the interim results of Vietnam Infrastructure Limited (AIM: VNI) for the six month period ended 31 December 2010.

 

Vietnam's economy grew at a healthy 6.8 percent in 2010, but investor sentiment was weak given high inflation and concern over the balance of payments. The Vietnam dong (VND) depreciated over ten percent in 2010 (and a further 7.2 percent in early 2011). The Vietnam Index fell to a 52-week low of 420 points in mid-November, before recovering in December to close the year at 485 points. For 2010, the VN Index lost 7.2 percent in USD terms.

 

VNI saw its net asset value decline 10.5 percent to USD230 million (USD0.57 per share) at 31 December 2010, from USD257 million (USD0.64 per share) at 30 June 2010. The loss was due primarily to the performance of listed holdings in the portfolio. At 31 December 2010, VNI shares traded at USD0.37, representing a discount to NAV of 35.1 percent.

 

For the six months ended 31 December 2010, operational highlights included private equity holding Hanoi Electrical Equipment Mechanical Engineering JSC (HNEM) reaching a major milestone with its first hydropower plant of 13.5MW starting operations. Also, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Long An Industrial Park, and VNI took possession of the first tranche of cleared land at the Ba Thien II Industrial Park near Hanoi, northern Vietnam. Top OTC holding Nam Viet Oil received a petroleum import-export licence, and completed expansion of its condensate refinery.

 

Going forward, VNI in 2011 will take advantage of Vietnam's low stock market valuations by focusing on pre-listed and pre-IPO assets that offer the possibility of rapid value appreciation. The scope of investment has been broadened to include agriculture-related assets such as logistics and plantation facilities. The fund recently announced its investment in Saigon Infrastructure Real Estate Investment JSC (SII), a holding company for the operating assets of HCM City Infrastructure Investment JSC (CII), one of Vietnam's leading infrastructure developers and also a VNI investee.

 

Vietnam's domestic economy in 2011 will be shaped largely by monetary policy, as the State Bank tries to control inflation, which reached 11.8 percent year-on-year in 2010. Following the February devaluation of the Vietnam dong by 7.2 percent, the government has employed a more flexible 'crawling peg' approach, adjusting the central rate on a daily basis. If the government's macro policies and spending cutbacks achieve their intended goal, the need for further devaluation will be minimised. Currently, the VND open market rate is about 1.5 percent below the official rate.

 

In the tight monetary environment that will prevail in 2011, Vietnamese companies are increasingly looking to strategic investors to help them achieve business plans and grow their companies. VNI remains well placed to continue acquiring assets at reasonable valuations, with the aim of being fully invested by the end of the calendar year.

 

The Board intends to approve a distribution later in 2011, and will decide on the specific form of the distribution in due course. The intention of the distribution will be to help to close the share price discount, without compromising our ability to grow assets and return value to shareholders over the long term.

 

The Board welcomes shareholder feedback, and we hope to be in touch with many of you over the coming year. Thank you for your continued support.

 

Paul Cheng

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. General information

 

Vietnam Infrastructure Limited ("the Company") is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The registered office of the Company is PO Box 309GT, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The Company's principal activity is to invest in a diversified portfolio of entities owning infrastructure projects and assets in Vietnam and the surrounding Asian countries. The Company mainly invests and holds equity, debt and hybrid instruments in unquoted companies that themselves hold, develop or operate infrastructure assets. The Company may also invest in entities whose shares or other instruments are listed on a stock exchange, or traded on the OTC markets. The Company also may invest in other funds that invest in infrastructure. The company's shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market under the ticker symbol VNI.

 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2010 were approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 25 March 2011.

 

2. Basis of preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2010. They have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They do not include all of the information required in the annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Accordingly, these reports are to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010.

 

A large proportion of income and expenses in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income results from the Group's operating subsidiaries.

 

The consolidated interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (USD), which is also the functional currency of the parent company, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ('000) unless otherwise indicated.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

These condensed interim financial statements (the interim financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year to 30 June 2010.

 

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

AIM listing rules require entities to include comparative financial position as at 31 December 2009, however the Group obtained the derogation from London Stock Exchange to not present the comparative financial position for the period, and, as a result, it has not been included in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

 

When preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by Management, and may not equal the estimated results. Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below:

 

Fair value of financial assets

Listed securities are quoted at the bid price at each reporting date. For unlisted securities which are traded in an active market, the fair value is the average quoted bid price obtained from a minimum sample of three reputable securities companies at the reporting date.

 

The fair value of financial assets that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted securities where market prices are not readily available) is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the reporting date. Independent valuations are also obtained from appropriately qualified independent valuation firms to evaluate and adjust valuations. The outcomes may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.

 

Impairment

Other assets

The Group's interests in associates are subject to impairment testing in accordance with the accounting policy 3.13 of the last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010.

 

Impairment of investment properties

Whenever there is an indication of impairment of an investment property, the Valuation Committee and Group's Management will assess the need for an impairment adjustment.

 

 

5. Segment analysis

 

In identifying its operating segments, Management generally follows the Group's sectors of investment which are based on internal management reporting information for the Investment Manager's management, monitoring of investments and decision making. The operating segments by investment portfolio include energy, property and infrastructure developers, telecommunications, transportation and logistics, general infrastructure, environment and others.

 

Each of the operating segments are managed and monitored separately by the Investment Manager as each requires different resources and approaches. The Investment Manager assesses segment profit or loss using a measure of operating profit or loss from the investment assets. Although IFRS 8 requires measurement of segmental profit or loss, the majority of expenses are common to all segments therefore cannot be individually allocated. There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.

 

Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:

21. Corporate income tax

 

Vietnam Infrastructure Limited is domiciled in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, there is no income, state, corporation, capital gains or other taxes payable by the Company.

 

The majority of the Group's subsidiaries are domiciled in the British Virgin Islands (BVIs) and so have a tax exempt status.

 

A small number of subsidiaries are established in Vietnam and are subject to corporate income tax in Vietnam. However no provision for corporate income tax has been made for these Vietnamese subsidiaries of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2010 (31 December 2009: nil). All of the Vietnamese subsidiaries are either in a tax loss position or in pre-operating state and therefore there is no corporate income taxes payable.

 

Under the laws of Vietnam, tax losses can be carried forward to be offset against future taxable income for five years from the year the loss was incurred. The Company did not recognise deferred income tax arising from tax losses since the amount is considered immaterial.

 

22. Earnings per share

 

(a) Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the period.

(b) Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has no category of potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Therefore, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

 

(c) Net asset value per share

Net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated by dividing the net asset value attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the number of outstanding ordinary shares as at the reporting date. Net asset value is determined as total assets less total liabilities and non-controlling interest.

23. Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

- Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices); and

- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

 

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

24. Events after the reporting date

 

As of the date of issuance of the interim financial information, the aggregate fair value of the Group's investments in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss has fallen by USD17.5 million to USD77.4 million from the aggregate fair value as of 31 December 2010 due to a general decline in listed and unlisted share prices in Vietnam and the weakening of the VND against the USD.
