30 September 2013

 

GLI Finance Limited ("GLIF" or the "Company"), a specialist lender to small and medium sized enterprises, today announces its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

 

Financial highlights

·      Net asset value at 30 June 2013 of 53.1p per share (31 December 2012: 49.1p)

·      Total shareholder return of 5.8% in share price terms, and 13.2% in NAV terms over the period

·      Interest income, dividends and other income totaling GBP8.8m, compared to GBP7.4m for the same period in 2012

·      Operating expenses fell from GBP3.1m for the same period in 2012 to GBP2.7m in 2013

 

 

Company highlights

·      Since period end, GLIF has partnered with Funding Knight, a peer-to-peer lender, and Platform Black, a peer-to-peer provider of invoice finance

·      BMS Finance acquisition has proved very successful - by the period end the equity value of the investment had more than doubled

·      All three platforms provide an offering that is complementary to the mainstream banking sector and to each other

 

 

Outlook and strategy

§ Strategy evolving for stronger market conditions in financial assets

§ Investigating actively the potential to separately list the CLO portfolio

§ Overriding consideration will be to maintain the overall dividend to shareholders

§ Continued focus on providing finance to SMEs

§ Looking to work with partners to help build their platforms and exploit synergies between their complementary offerings

 

Commenting, Patrick Firth, Chairman of GLIF, said:

 

"The Board is delighted to present another positive set of results for the Company in a period of significant positive change and development. We continue to transition our business and we believe that, as a finance business, GLIF is opening a new and exciting chapter in its growth.  The past four years have seen GLIF transformed from a little known investment company with a market capitalisation of less than GBP2m to a significant provider of SME finance. We look forward with confidence that there remain many opportunities for the Company to exploit and we will continue to build on an increasingly resilient platform."

For the six month period ended 30 June 2013

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

I am pleased to report the results of GLI Finance Limited ("GLIF" or the "Company") for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013.

 

During the period the Company continued to deliver a stable capital performance whilst the continuing strong income flow to the Company underpinned a maintained dividend. The Net Asset Value and revenue rose significantly whilst operating costs continued to fall.

 

Within the business there have been, and continue to be, significant changes to the way in which your assets are run, as the Company evolves to benefit from more stable financial conditions to those seen in the last five years.

 

The Company's share price rose by 0.5p or 1% over the period, compared to a rise in the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") from 49.1p to 53.1p of 8.1%. The Company's shares went from a 4.6% premium to a 2.3% discount. The total return over the period in share price terms was 5.8%, and in NAV terms 13.2%. The performance is indicative of the Company's delivery of its objective, to produce a stable and predictable dividend yield, with long term preservation of Net Asset Value.

 

The more stable financial background is drawing more interest into the Financials arena and our Company is adapting to these conditions. Instead of investing only in loans originated by third parties, increasingly we are focused on origination of SME finance through the platforms in which we have an equity interest. We are confident that these management teams are capable of producing strong returns across the economic cycle, and not just because of the aftermath of the financial crisis.

 

Our first venture into origination, the acquisition of GLIF BMS Holdings Ltd ("GBH", the holding company of BMS Finance ("BMS")) in November 2012, has proved very successful. We funded the acquisition with a loan note of GBP11.6m and GBP1.0m of equity, two-thirds of which was funded by GLIF and one third by the management team. By the period end the value of the equity had more than doubled.

 

Since the period end we have added Funding Knight, a peer-to-peer lender to SMEs, and Platform Black, a peer-to-peer provider of invoice finance, as partnerships and have begun providing funding through both platforms. Early indications are that there will be significant opportunities for these two businesses and BMS to cross-refer business and to work together when different forms of finance are required. Crucially, all three platforms set out to provide an offering that is complementary to the mainstream banking sector, rather than attempting to take on the banks at their own game. This is important, as we believe that this will ensure a sustainable competitive advantage across the cycle, rather than just a cyclical play due to the weakness of the banks after the financial crisis.

 

CLO Portfolio

Whilst our three newer businesses will provide the potential to accrete value for the future, the current income of the Company and the majority of its assets remain with the CLO portfolio. The intention has been to look to gradually transition assets from the CLO portfolio to the origination businesses over time but we are aware that the transition period, in which the Company is neither finance business nor pure CLO investor, has the potential to cause uncertainty and confusion.

 

The Company is now investigating actively the potential to segregate the CLO portfolio in a subsidiary, to which it may be possible to attract third party funding, both to reduce GLIF's exposure and to expand the CLO portfolio, thus reducing our position-specific risk. Our intention would be to consider a separate listing of the CLO portfolio in time. In exploring this potential, our overriding consideration will be to ensure that, in aggregate, GLIF investors will receive at least as high a dividend as they do currently.

 

HiWave

One other transaction that completed during the period unfortunately added a further layer of complexity to what are already a challenging set of accounts to digest, and that was the acquisition of HiWave.

 

GLIF BMS Holdings Ltd ("GBH", the holding company of BMS Finance) provided a bridging facility to HiWave whilst that company attempted to sell its business. In March, with no disposal completed, GBH acquired HiWave from its administrators. Subsequent to our period end, HiWave's main operating business, HiWave Audio, was sold to a US company, FLAT Audio Technologies, LLC (which trades as Tectonic). The proceeds will repay BMS's original loan. GBH retains HiWaves's intellectual property and the majority of the economics therefrom but is not intending to finance any further development itself.

 

Whilst the transaction both enabled GBH to control the repayment of its loan and provided the potential for some significant long term upside, it meant that the HiWave business had to be consolidated within GLIF's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

For the six month period ended 30 June 2013

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)

 

Financials

As of 30 June 2013, the Company had net assets of GBP69.7m, or 53.1p per share, vs net assets of GBP58.5m, or 49.1p per share at 31 December 2012 and GBP47.2m or 47.9p per share at 30 June 2012. The reason for the rise in net assets being greater than the net assets per share is because the Company issued 11.9m shares in January to raise an additional GBP6m.

 

The comparative Group numbers show net assets attributable to equity holders rising from GBP67.9m as at 30 June 2012 to GBP69.2m as at 31 December 2012 and GBP75.8m as at 30 June 2013. However, at a Group level the debt within T2 CLO 1 Ltd is marked to market and as the discount to par narrowed over the past year the net assets per share at a Group level fell from 68.9p as at 30 June 2012 to 58.1p as at 31 December 2012 and were stable at 57.8p per share at 30 June 2013. The difference in the net assets at a Group and Company level represent the market view of the net present value of the low cost of the T2 CLO 1 Ltd debt.

 

For the six-month period ended 30 June 2013, GLIF received interest income, dividends and other income totaling GBP8.8m, compared to GBP7.4m for the comparable period in 2012 and GBP15.4m for the year ended 31 December 2012. These numbers do not include the income related to HiWave, which is identified as "Net income from discontinued operations" and totaled GBP61k in the period. Operating expenses fell from GBP3.1m for the comparable period in 2012 to GBP2.7m in the first six months of 2013. Finance costs also fell, from GBP1.2m in the six months to June 2012 to GBP1.0m in the six months to June 2013.

 

Market Commentary

The loan markets started the year in buoyant fashion and the first quarter saw accelerating issuance of loans and collateralised structures to package those loans. For the first time since the financial crisis the European market for CLOs reopened in earnest.

 

In the second quarter the markets were rocked by the prospect of the Federal Reserve indicating that it was considering unwinding its policy of extremely loose monetary policy and this saw an immediate increase in spreads but, by the end of the quarter markets were taking a more measured view and pricing stabilised.

 

Similarly the sterling/US dollar rate, to which we are exposed through having the majority of the Company's assets in US dollars, saw the US dollar strengthen in the first quarter, weaken significantly in the second quarter but regain its composure before the quarter end.

 

Outlook

The continuing low interest rate environment and increasing confidence of investors in financial assets has brought more and more competition into the mainstream loan markets. This continues to benefit our existing CLO investments but, to ensure that GLIF continues to provide the double digit returns we are seeking, we will continue to evolve our strategy to reflect these changing market dynamics.

 

The past four years, since changes to the Company's management, have seen GLIF transformed from a little known investment company with a market capitalisation of less than GBP2m to a significant provider of SME finance. We look forward with the confidence that there remain many opportunities for the Company to exploit and we will continue to build on an increasingly resilient platform.

GLI Finance Limited (formerly Greenwich Loan Income Fund Limited)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

1.      GENERAL INFORMATION

GLI Finance Limited (the "Company") was incorporated and domiciled in Guernsey, Channel Islands, as a company limited by shares and with limited liability on 9 June 2005 in accordance with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994 (since superseded by The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008). The address of the registered office is P.O. Box 296, Sarnia House, Le Truchot, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 4NA. The Company is a Guernsey Authorised Closed-ended Investment Scheme and is subject to the Authorised Closed-ended Investment Scheme Rules 2008. The Company was admitted to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on 5 August 2005. On 1 February 2011, the Company's Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on the Official List of the Channel Island Stock Exchange ("CISX").

 

The Company is an investing company for the purpose of the AIM rules. The Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Geoff Miller, is responsible for the management of the Company. GMB Partners LLP (the "Investment Adviser") is employed by the Company to advise on UK, European and US CLO paper and senior secured loans. T2 Advisers, LLC ("T2 Advisers"), a registered investment adviser in the United States, managed the Company's assets under the terms of an investment manager agreement, until 12 April 2013, at which time the management agreement was terminated by mutual consent. T2 Advisers provides management of the assets within T2 CLO I Ltd ("T2 CLO"), a vehicle of which GLIF owns a 100% interest in the residual economics. For the provision of this management T2 Advisers receives a base fee of £10,000 per quarter, 0.25% of the gross assets of T2 CLO, and 20% of the return from T2 CLO to GLIF, over and above $1,430,000 per quarter. T2 Advisers is also the collateral manager for T2 CLO.

 

On 30 April 2013, the Company received approval from shareholders and the Guernsey authorities to change its name from Greenwich Loan Income Fund Limited to GLI Finance Limited.

 

Subsidiaries

A Cayman Islands registered company, T2 CLO, was created on 11 October 2006.  The Company owns the residual economic interest of T2 CLO and therefore the operating results of T2 CLO are consolidated in these financial statements.

 

On 31 January 2011, the Company acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Management Investment Company plc and the operating results are consolidated in these financial statements. Subsequent to this transaction Asset Management Investment Company plc changed its name to Asset Management Investment Company Limited ("AMIC").

 

As announced on 7 November 2012, the Company subscribed to 666,667 ordinary shares of GBP1 each (66.7%) in the capital of GLIF BMS Holdings Limited ("BMS"), a joint venture vehicle formed by the Company with the management team of BMS Finance AB Limited, who own the remaining 333,333 ordinary shares of GBP1 each (33.3%) in the capital of BMS. The Company also owns 100% of the issued loan notes of BMS.

 

This new partly owned subsidiary of the Company was formed to receive the assets of BMS Specialist Debt Fund Limited (the "Seller") acquired by the Company via the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated 6 November 2012, between the Company and the Seller. The Assets acquired comprised all of the issued share capital of BMS Finance AB Limited ("BMS Finance AB"), which is a UK-based specialist private finance company. BMS Finance AB was being financed by a deep discount bond issued to the Seller standing at the nominal sum of GBP20,738,000 (the "DDB"), as at the transaction date, which was also acquired by the Company pursuant to the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement. In addition to the shares in BMS Finance AB and the DDB, the Company also acquired the Seller's interest in Noble Venture II Nominees Limited ("NV2N"), formerly Noble Venture Finance II Limited Partnership, and legacy warrants to subscribe for shares in Eazyfone Limited and EGS Group Limited (the "Warrants"). On 18 March 2013, BMS acquired 100% of the equity holding in HiWave Technologies (UK) Limited ("HiWave UK") and HiWave (Hong Kong) Limited ("HiWave HK") via a sale and purchase agreement with HiWave Tchnologies PLC ("HiWave PLC"), the consideration for which was GBP100,000.Together BMS, BMS Finance AB, NV2N, HiWave UK and HiWave HK make up BMS Group.

 

The value ascribed to the Assets was GBP1 in respect of the shares of BMS Finance AB, GBP9,977,954 in respect of the DDB, GBP1,613,106 in respect of the interest in NV2N and GBP1 in respect of all of the 4 Warrants. The Company paid for these Assets by issuing 20,545,400 Ordinary Shares in the Company at fair value as at 30 September 2012 (being equal to the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share of the Company) plus GBP1,310,998 in cash.

 

Immediately upon completion of the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred the Assets to BMS pursuant to the Transfer Agreement.

 

As at 30 June 2013, the Group comprises the Company, CLO, AMIC, BMS, BMS Finance AB, NV2N, HiWave UK and HiWave HK.

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)    Basis of preparation

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the European Union, and all applicable requirements of Guernsey Company Law.  The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, apart from the inclusion of non-current asset investments, foreign currency derivatives and non-current liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.  The principal accounting policies of the Group and Company have remained unchanged from the previous year and are set out below. Comparative information in the primary statements is given for the year ended 31 December 2012.



GLI Finance Limited (formerly Greenwich Loan Income Fund Limited)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(b)    Basis of consolidation

The financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, T2 CLO, AMIC, BMS, BMS Finance AB, NV2N, HiWave UK and HiWave HK (the "Group").  Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company exercises control or owns greater than 50 per cent of the residual economic interest. Through the ownership of the income notes of the T2 CLO the Company has ownership of the residual economic interest of T2 CLO. The Company obtains and exercises control of the AMIC subsidiary through ownership of 100% of AMIC's equity shares.  The Company obtains and exercises control of the BMS Group subsidiary through ownership of 66.7% equity shares and 100% of the loan notes of BMS. BMS Finance AB, NV2N, HiWave UK and HiWave HK are all direct subsidiaries of BMS, with BMS owning 100%, 70.75%, 100% and 100% of the equity shares respectively. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

The Company carries its direct investments in AMIC and BMS at fair value through profit or loss, based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities held by the AMIC and BMS. 

 

Until 31 December 2011, the Company carried its investment in the T2 CLO at fair value through profit or loss, based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities held by the T2 CLO, which the Directors considered to be indicative of fair value for financial reporting purposes. However, the disparity between the Company's NAV per Ordinary Share, as determined under IFRS, and share price was acknowledged by the Directors and in their opinion reflected significant dislocations in the global credit markets, practical limitations on the Company's ability to realise the discount reflected in the fair value of the CLO loan notes and disparity between the valuations of portfolio investments and the likely sales price of such investments.

 

As disclosed in the 2011 annual financial statements, with effect from 1 January 2012, the Board decided that the T2 CLO equity would be accounted for in the Statement of Financial Position of the Company as a discrete investment and it is held at its discrete fair value, rather than as previously at its consolidated value based on the fair value of the aggregated underlying assets and liabilities. The Board believes this provides investors with a better guide to the fair value of the assets held, were they not to be held to maturity.

 

The change in accounting estimate described above, resulted in a write down in the fair value of the T2 CLO of GBP10,727,442 during the prior year and this was recognised in the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a Subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of Subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests measured at their proportionate share of net assets acquired.

 

(c)    Business combination

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and included in operating expenses before finance costs.

 

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree's financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

 

At acquisition date, the Group measures the components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value.

 

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of a) fair value of consideration transferred, b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

 

(d)    Foreign currency translation

(i)    Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements of the Company and the Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and the Group operates (its functional currency). The Directors have considered the primary economic currency of the Company and considered the currency in which the original finance was raised, distributions made, and ultimately what currency would be returned if the Company was wound up.  The Directors have also considered the currency to which the underlying investments are exposed.  On balance, the Directors believe Sterling best represents the functional currency of the Company and the AMIC, BMS, BMS Finance AB NV2N and HiWave UK subsidiaries, with US Dollars the functional currency of the T2 CLO subsidiary and Hong Kong Dollar the functional currency of the HiWave HK subsidiary.  Therefore the books and records are maintained in Sterling, US Dollars and Hong Kong Dollars respectively and for the purpose of the financial statements the results and financial position of the Group are presented in Sterling, which is the presentation currency of the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(d)    Foreign currency translation (continued)

(ii)    Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

 

Translation differences on non-monetary items are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss reported in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The rates of exchange as at 30 June 2013 are as follows:

 

GBP1: USD1.5213

GBP1: €1.1693

GBP1: HKD11.7994

 

(iii)    Subsidiary companies

The results and financial position of the subsidiary entity that has a functional currency different to the presentation currency is translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

1.         assets and liabilities of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the period/year end;

2.         income and expenses for the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates for the period/year (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

3.         all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of equity.

 

(e)    Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised as follows:

 

-       Dividend income - dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

-       Interest income on fair value through profit or loss assets - interest income on fair value through profit or loss assets is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method.

 

(f)     Other income

Other income relates to interest income received and bargain purchase gains, if any, on acquisitions of subsidiaries (refer to note 2c). Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method and includes interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

 

(g)    Expenditure

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.  The management fees, administration fees, finance costs and all other expenses (excluding set up expenses which were offset against share premium) are charged through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

 

(h)    Non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

When the Group intends to sell a non-current asset or a group of assets (a disposal group), and if sale within 12 months is highly probable, the asset or disposal group is classified as held for sale and presented separately in the statement of financial position. Liabilities are classified as held for sale and presented as such in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if they are directly associated with a disposal group.

 

Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts immediately prior to their classification as held for sale and their fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as held for sale, the assets are not subject to depreciation or amortisation.

 

Any profit or loss arising from the sale or re-measurement of discontinued operations is presented as part of a single line item, profit or loss from discontinued operations (see note 5).

 

(i)      Profit or loss from discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

 

•     represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;

•     is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or



 

•   is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(i)      Profit or loss from discontinued operations (continued)

Profit or loss from discontinued operations, including prior year components of profit or loss, is presented in a single amount in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. This amount, which comprises the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and the post-tax gain or loss resulting from the measurement and disposal of assets classified as held for sale, is further analysed in note 5.

 

(j)      Taxation

The Company is exempt from Guernsey taxation under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989. A fixed annual fee of GBP600 is payable to the States of Guernsey in respect of this exemption.

 

(k)    Dividends

Dividend distributions are at the discretion of the Group. A dividend distribution to the shareholders is accounted as a reduction in retained earnings. A proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it has been approved and declared.

 

(l)      Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held on call with banks, bank overdrafts and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

(m)   Trade and other receivables

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or origination.  They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

 

(n)    Trade and other payables

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

 

(o)    Investments and loan notes

The Group classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories in accordance with IAS 39.

 

(i)      Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Purchases and sales of all investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Group acquires or disposes of the economic benefits of the asset.  All investments are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs for all financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed as incurred.  Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

 

The CLO loan notes were designated at fair value through profit or loss because the purpose of issuing the CLO loan notes was to be able to make investments in syndicated loans which were based upon the same or similar variable interest rates, and the fair value designation avoided an accounting mismatch between the sources of financing for the purchase of investments and the investments themselves. The Company has designated CLO loan notes and receivables at fair value through profit or loss since they are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, and information about the Group is provided internally on that basis to the entity's key management personnel including the entity's Board of Directors. The Directors recognise that the magnitude of fair value movement of the CLO loan notes has been substantially greater than the movement of the investments, due to variations in the different markets in which these instruments are traded.

 

Unquoted equity security investments and unquoted CLO equity securities, at fair value through profit or loss, are valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines or any other valuation model and techniques which can provide a reasonable estimate of fair value of the investment involved.

 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the year end date.  The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.  The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques.  Valuation techniques used include the use of comparable recent arm's length transactions.

 

For broadly syndicated loans the Company receives market quotes from agent banks on a quarterly basis. In addition, because of the generally limited trading activity in the syndicated loan market in those instances where there has been a significant change in the credit profile of a portfolio company, T2 Advisers prepares an analysis of the portfolio company's recent and projected financial performance as well as other relevant business developments. In those instances where the T2 Advisers believes additional analysis is necessary, for example due to a significant change in the market quote without related transaction volume, an outside valuation firm will provide a valuation estimate based upon their proprietary methodologies and techniques. Factors considered in these independent valuation analyses include discounted cash flows, comparable company and comparable transaction analysis, and credit spread analysis based upon the independent valuation firms' view of the implied credit rating of the investment and the corresponding required spread in the marketplace. The Board considers all the information presented to it, including indicative bids, internal analysis, and independent valuations, in order to reach, in good faith, their fair value determination.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(o)    Investments and loan notes (continued)

 

(i)      Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

The fair value of the CLO loan notes is determined primarily by reference to a market value report provided by the independent broker-dealer which makes the market in the CLO notes. Due to the very limited trading activity in this security, and the significant dislocations which have occurred in the credit markets generally and in the CLO markets in particular, the Directors consider the market value report to be the best indicator of fair value for the notes. The market value report reflects the proprietary analysis of the broker-dealer, specifically considering the cash flows projections of the T2 CLO subsidiary, the credit quality of the investments included in the CLO, and the credit spread required by the marketplace for CLO notes with these particular characteristics. The Directors also consider any trading activity in the CLO notes, if any, as well as other indicators of value based upon discussions between the T2 Advisers and the few holders of the notes. The Directors believe that the market value report is the best reflection of fair value of the notes, consistent with the requirements of IFRS, and is consistent with the other factors which have been taken into consideration.

 

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. 

 

Income from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss relates to financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and includes all realised and unrealised fair value changes, interest (using the effective interest rate method), dividends, finance costs and foreign exchange differences.

 

(ii) Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are categorised as financial assets or liabilities held for trading and valued at fair value through profit or loss.  There were 6 derivatives held by the Group as at 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012: 2 & 31 December 2012: 6).

 

(iii) Subsidiaries

Investments in the directly held subsidiaries are initially recorded at cost by the Company. The Company has designated its investments in directly held subsidiaries as fair value through profit or loss since they are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, and information about the Group is provided internally on that basis to the entity's key management personnel including the entity's Board of Directors. The Company carries its directly held investments in the T2 CLO, AMIC and BMS subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.  This is based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities held by T2 CLO, AMIC and BMS which the Directors consider to be indicative of fair value for financial reporting purposes.  Through its ownership of the residual economic interest of T2 CLO the Directors account for T2 CLO as a wholly owned subsidiary and the operating results are consolidated in these financial statements. The Company directly owns all of the equity shares of AMIC, and it is therefore a wholly owned subsidiary with its operating results being consolidated in these financial statements. The Company directly owns 66.7% of the equity shares of BMS, and it is therefore a partly owned subsidiary with its operating results being consolidated in these financial statements.  BMS owns 100%, 70.75%, 100% and 100% of the equity shares of BMS Finance AB, NV2N, HiWave UK and HiWave HK respectively. These subsidiaries of BMS, are therefore all partly owned subsidiaries of the Group with their operating results being consolidated in these consolidated financial statements.

 

With effect from 1 January 2012, the Board accounts for the T2 CLO subsidiary in the Company Statement of Financial Position as a discrete investment and it will be held at its fair value rather than at its consolidated value based on the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities, in order to provide investors with a better guide to the value of the assets held, were they not to be held to maturity. The Board has estimated that the best approach to assess the fair value of the T2 CLO equity is to take the market value of the assets within the CLO, less the par value of the debt.

 

(p)    Fixed assets - tangible

Tangible fixed assets includes computer equipment and this is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over its expected useful economic life, being 2 years.

 

(q)    Fixed assets - intangible intellectual property

The cost of acquired intellectual property rights are stated at purchase price plus any directly attributable costs incurred in preparing the asset for use.

 

The intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually, or as required if there are indications of impairment (please see Note 2s for the impairment testing procedures). Acquired intellectual property rights are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the license of the intellectual property asset acquired. All amortisation and impairment charges are included within Other Expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

(r)     Fixed assets - intangible goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. See note 2c for information on how goodwill is initially determined. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to note 2s for a description of impairment testing procedures.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(s)    Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at which management monitors goodwill.

 

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated (determined by the Group's management as equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group's latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management's assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.

 

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

 

(t)     Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors of the Company believe to be appropriate.

 

The Group also makes assumptions on the classification of financial assets.

 

Fair values of investments and loan notes designated as financial assets and liabilities at fair value

The Group invests in broadly syndicated loans that have limited trading activity.  The CLO loan notes in issue also trade infrequently.  The fair value of such instruments is determined by using valuation techniques.  Details of the assumptions used are given in the notes regarding financial assets and liabilities.

 

The Group's liabilities likewise are not traded in active markets, and the independent analysis which provides the basis for the fair value determination is based, in part, upon observable market data including interest rates and credit spreads. The fair value change in the Group's liabilities may differ substantially from the change in the investment portfolio, even though both are related to interest rates generally, because the assumptions relative to the value of CLO liabilities specifically include the assumptions about credit quality of the individual component companies of the CLO investment portfolio, the anticipated cash flow from those investments, and the resulting possibility of covenant defaults which could dramatically effect the sustainability of the CLO structure and therefore the fair value of the loan notes.

 

Fair values of Unlisted Debt Securities and Unlisted Equity Securities

The Group can invest in financial instruments which are not quoted in active markets and may receive such financial instruments as distributions on certain investments.  Fair values are determined by using valuation techniques.  Where valuation techniques, such as the Market Capitalisation Approach, are used to determine fair values they are carried out by an independent valuation firm specifically engaged by the Group to carry out the valuations.  Changes in assumptions could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.  See Note 9 for carrying amount at the year end.

 

Because the Group's portfolio investments are generally not traded in active markets, fair value determinations are based upon additional information, including internal analysis and projections as well as independent valuation work performed by outside firms, beyond the indicative quotes which are generally also available for portfolio investments. These other analyses rely upon observable data including comparable transactions, interest rates and credit spreads.

 

Going Concern

The Board has assessed of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2013 and the factors that may impact its performance in the forthcoming year and are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

(u)    New Accounting Standards Effective and Adopted

The following changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Group's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2013.

 

The following new standard, which became effective and has been applied for the current period, are relevant to the Group's operations:

 

§ IFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement', establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements, when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. In particular, it unifies the definition of fair value as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between willing market participants at the measurement date. It also replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures". Some of these disclosures are specifically required in interim financial statements for financial instruments and accordingly have been included in note 12 to these Financial Statements. Notwithstanding the above, the adoption of this new Standard has had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group's assets and liabilities.

 

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations, which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective:

 

§ IFRS 10, 'Consolidated financial statements', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, introduces a new control model that is applicable to all investees, by focusing on whether a company has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement in the investee and the ability to use its power to affect those returns. Amendments to this Standard for investment entities are also effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Company will follow the guidance contained in this Standard.

 

§ IFRS 12, 'Disclosures of interests in other entities', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. Under the Standard, the Company would classify interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on whether the Company had rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement. When making this assessment, the Company will need to consider the structure of any arrangements that might exist, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of such arrangements and other fact or circumstances that may exist.

 

§ IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments', effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, specifies how an entity should classify and measure financial assets and liabilities, including some hybrid contracts. The standard improves and simplifies the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of IAS 39. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged. The standard applies a consistent approach to classifying financial assets and replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in IAS 39, each of which had its own classification criteria.

 

The Board is currently considering the impact of the above standards.

 

The Directors believe that the financial statements contain all of the information required to enable Shareholders and potential investors to make an informed appraisal of the investment activities and profits and losses of the Company and Group for the period to which it relates and does not omit any matter or development of significance.

 

(v)     Share based payments

Share options are valued in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share Based Payments". In accordance with IFRS 2, share options issued are measured using the fair value of the options at the grant date or an estimate of the fair value of the services received.  See note 11 for details. No additional share options were issued during the year.

 

3.      FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below.  The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits.  The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks. The Directors are of the opinion that the ultimate risk exposure of the Company is the same as that of the Group and as such the Note 3 risk disclosures are only provided at the Group level.

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

3.      FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

Capital Risk Management

The Group's capital is represented by the net assets attributable to shareholders and the objective when managing capital is to enable the Group to continue as a going concern in order to provide a consistent appropriate risk-adjusted return to shareholders, and to maintain a strong capital base to support the continued development of its investment activities. The Group manages its capital to ensure that its objective is met.  It does this by investing available cash whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet on-going expenses and dividend payments. The Group considers its capital to include share capital, share premium, distributable reserves, foreign exchange reserves and retained earnings. The Group is not subject to regulatory or industry specific limitations on its capital, other than the legal requirements for Guernsey incorporated entities. The Group considers the amount and composition of its capital in proportion to risk. Adjustments to the capital structure will be taken in response to economic conditions, the cost of debt, the ability to raise share capital, and other opportunities and factors which the Board may consider.  At 30 June 2013, the Group had total equity of GBP75,761,160 (30 June 2012: GBP67,918,593 & 31 December 2012: GBP69,228,917).

 

The Group monitors the ratio of debt to other capital which, based upon shareholder approval, is limited to 5 to 1.  Since the debt of the Group is currently contained within its CLO subsidiary, its debt is collateralized by investments held in the CLO portfolio. The portfolio is subject to various financial and other covenant tests which may result in required paydowns of its debt from time to time; in the absence of such required paydowns, the debt matures in 2019.

 

Presented below is a summary of the "coverage" covenants around the CLO loan notes. These covenants could cause diversion of income and early repayment of notes. They are measured by comparing the amount of collateral assets and the debt outstanding.

 

Covenant Test

Requirement

Collateral Coverage Test: Class A/B Principal

>=133.95%

Collateral Coverage Test: Class C Principal

>=123.40%

Collateral Coverage Test: Class D Principal

>=120.20%

Collateral Coverage Test: Class E Principal

>=115.36%

Interest Coverage Test: Class A/B Interest

>=125.00%

Interest Coverage Test: Class C Interest

>=115.00%

Interest Coverage Test: Class D Interest

>=110.00%

Interest Coverage Test: Class E Interest

>=105.00%

Interest Division Test

>=116.36%

 

The CLO Loan Notes contain other covenants, such as portfolio diversification. These are "maintain or improve" covenants which generally do not cause much concern.

 

The Group has sought to achieve an attractive risk adjusted return by investing in debt securities, consisting primarily of senior debt across multiple industries.  The Group intends to invest primarily in companies with attractive fundamental characteristics including experienced management, a significant financial or strategic sponsor or partner, a strong competitive position and positive cash flow.

 

The CEO ensures that not more than 15% of the Group's gross assets are invested in any one investment.  Consistent with shareholder approval obtained in December 2006, the Group may apply leverage up to 500%, or five times, the net asset value of the Group.  Leverage is the ability to incur indebtedness for the purpose of making investments.  The Group has incurred net indebtedness (approximately USD248.9 million; GBP154.1 million or 202.43% at cost, USD239.0 million; GBP157.1million or 207.34% at fair value as at the period end) through its CLO subsidiary in the form of long-term notes.

 

Concentration Risk

While the CEO will attempt to spread the Group's assets among a number of investments in accordance with the investment policies adopted by the Group, at times the Group may hold a relatively small number of investments each representing a relatively large portion of the Group's net assets and/or hold a number of investments denominated in non-base currencies each representing a relatively large portion of the Group's net assets.  Losses incurred in such investments could have a materially adverse effect on the Group's overall financial condition. Whilst the Group's portfolio is diversified in terms of the companies in which it invests, the investment portfolio of the Group may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Group were required to maintain a wide diversification among types of securities, countries and industry groups. Please refer to the Portfolio of the Group that follows the Notes to the financial statements.

3.      FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

 

Market risk

The Group's exposure to market risk is comprised mainly of movements in the Group's investments.  The investment portfolio is managed within parameters disclosed in the Company's offering memorandum.  All investments present a risk of loss of capital.

 

As at 30 June 2013, the Group's market risk is affected by three main components: changes in actual market prices, interest rates and foreign currency movements.  Interest rates and foreign currency movements are covered at (b) and (c) below. 

 

The following details the Group's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the market prices of financial instruments, with 5% being the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk to the Board bi-annually and represents the Board's assessment of the possible change in market price.

 

If market prices of financial instruments had increased or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, this would have had the following effect during the period/year:

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group has exposure to interest rate risk because it has borrowed to fund investments. The exposure arises on the difference between the rate of interest the Group is required to pay on borrowed funds and the rate of interest which it receives on the debt securities in which it invests.  Interest rate risk is comprised of two elements: spread risk and rate risk.

 

The Group is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows.  The Group's cash balances, debt instruments and loan notes are open to interest rate risk.

 

The Group may, but is not required to, hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. The Group did not enter into any such transactions during the current or prior years.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Group's exposure to interest rates for interest bearing assets and liabilities (included in the interest rate exposure table above) at the year end date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial period and held constant through the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates.

 

A 200 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest spread risk internally on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and represents management's assessment of the possible change in interest spreads, and 25 basis points is used when reporting interest rate risk for all interest bearing assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk (continued)

At 30 June 2013, should the interest spread have increased or decreased by 200 basis points, or had the interest rate have increased or decreased by 25 basis points, with all other variables remaining constant, this would have had the following effect:

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is limited to its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loan notes held at financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and its cash and cash equivalents.  These are all floating rate financial assets. 

 

(c)    Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group may make investments in currencies other than Sterling. To the extent that it does, the Group will be exposed to a potentially adverse currency risk. Changes in the rate of exchange may affect the value of the Group's investments, and the level of income that it receives from those investments. 

 

The majority of the Group's financial assets and liabilities are also denominated in US Dollars and therefore the Group is exposed to fluctuations in the GBP:US Dollar foreign exchange rate. There is also some exposure to Euro, Swiss Franc and Hong Kong Dollar, however, not significant.

 

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the sensitivity of the Group's outstanding foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities to a 5% increase/decrease in the Sterling against US Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar Euro and Swiss Franc translated at the period/year end date.

In accordance with the Group's policy, the CEO monitors the Group's currency position on a regular basis, and the Board of Directors reviews it on a quarterly basis.

 

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets on hand at the year end date.  The Group invests primarily in senior debt, senior subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt.  The maximum investment size, at the time of the investment, will generally be limited to 15% of the Group's Gross Assets.  However, the Group may make larger investments and it may seek to syndicate or sell down a portion of any such investment, after it has been acquired.

 

The investment portfolio of the Group is subject to a number of diversification requirements including size, industry and ratings to ensure that it is sufficiently diversified.

 

The maximum credit risk associated with the investment portfolio is represented by the fair value of the investments as shown in Note 9. The loan portfolio of the Group reflects a secured interest in the general corporate assets of the borrowers, and all loans remain unsubordinated.

*This is the cumulative unrealised loss which represents the amount of change in its fair attributable to changes in credit risk of the assets, which is no longer consider recoverable by the Group.

 

As at the period end, there is no accrued interest which is considered uncollectable (30 June 2012 & 31 December 2012: USDnil).

 

Included within the fair value of the loan portfolio is an amount of GBP8,754 (30 June 2012: GBPnil & 31 December 2012: GBP99,995) (relating to loan held via BMS) which was past due as at the period end but unimpaired.

 

The Group mitigates credit risk by only entering into agreements related to loan instruments in which the collateral and/or operating strength of the investee companies is sufficient to support the loan amounts outstanding. This determination of whether the loan instruments are sufficiently collateralised is made by the T2 Advisers and/or the CEO at the time of the agreements, and the T2 Advisers and/or the CEO continues to evaluate the loan instruments in the context of these agreements.

 

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

 

The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

 

The movements in and cumulative losses on the CLO Loan Notes held at fair value through profit or loss are not considered to be related to credit risk.

 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. As the Group's investments will not generally be in publicly traded securities, they are likely to be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of the Group's investments may make it difficult for them to be sold quickly if the need arises. Since the Group intends to invest in debt securities with a term of up to seven years, and hold investments in debt securities until maturity of the debt, the Group does not expect realisation events to occur in the near term.

 

The Company's investment in its subsidiary, T2 CLO, is also considered to be an illiquid investment.

 

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the year end date to the contractual maturity date.  The amounts in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, assuming interest rates in effect at the period/year end.

Fair value estimation

The fair values of the Group's short-term trade receivables and payables approximate their carrying amounts at the period/year end date.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value

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 (unadjusted) 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. 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.

Measurement of fair value

The methods and valuation techniques used for the purposes of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting year with the exception of the addition of warrant security valuation.

 

(a)    Broadly syndicated loans

All the broadly syndicated loans are denominated in USD.  The loans have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently.  The fair value of the broadly syndicated loans is based primarily on the average of all indicative bids provided by brokers making a market in these loans; these average bid prices are accumulated and calculated by an outside pricing service. Generally, the vast majority of the broadly syndicated loans have multiple bids. In those instances where the average bid price of a loan indicates a potential for a significant variance to its approximate value, a third-party valuation will provide a valuation analysis.

Measurement of fair value (continued)

 

(b)    Equity securities and CLO equity securities

With the exception of a single equity holding which is denominated in GBP, all the equity securities are denominated in USD.  The equity securities have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or are unlisted. CLO equity securities are valued based upon the indicative bid price provided by the broker that sold the security to the Company which is considered to be equal to fair value.   As observable prices are not available for the other equity securities, the Board uses an independent third-party valuer to provide a valuation analysis of the equities to in its determining of the fair value. The valuation expert used the Income Approach - Discounted Cash Flow Method and the Market Approach - Guideline Comparable Method and Comparable Transaction Method to estimate the indicated Total Enterprise Value of the equity securities which is considered to be the fair value of the equity securities. Assumptions used by the expert include discount rates, growth rates, EBITDA margins and tax rates.

 

(c)    Warrant security

With the exception of a single warrant which is denominated in USD, all other warrant securities are denominated in GBP.  The warrant securities have unobservable inputs, as they are unlisted.  As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Board, assisted by the CEO, uses earnings multiple valuation techniques in its determining of their fair value (being 2 times revenue).

 

(d)    CLO loan notes

The CLO loan notes are denominated in US Dollar.  The loan notes also have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently.  The fair value of the loan notes is determined primarily by reference to a market value report provided by an independent broker-dealer.

 

Level 3 fair value measurements

The Group's financial assets and liabilities classified in Level 3 use valuation techniques based on significant inputs that are not based on observable market data.  The financial instruments within this level can be reconciled from beginning to ending balances as follows:

4.      FUND EXPENSES (continued)

 

Non-executive Directors' fees & Executive Director's remuneration

Under an employment contract (the "Employment Contract"), effective from 31 March 2011, Mr Miller became an Executive Director of the Company and is entitled to a fixed salary of GBP150,000 per annum (less applicable tax and social security contributions). Mr Miller's salary cost is included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The total salary cost for the period ended 30 June 2013 relating to Mr Miller amounted to GBP75,000 (period ended 30 June 2012: GBP75,000 & year ended 31 December 2012: GBP150,000). In addition to the fixed salary referred to above, Mr Miller is also entitled to a contractual bonus. Prior to 21 January 2013, in accordance with the Employment Contract the actual bonus amount paid to Mr Miller for any financial period was capped at a maximum of 0.3 per cent of the Company's Net Asset Value (adjusted pro rata for period less or more than one year) (the "Cap"). Any excess contractual bonus payable above this Cap was deferred and added to any contractual bonus payable (if any) in the next financial year. With effect from 21 January 2013, the Remuneration Committee resolved to amend the current incentive structure, which was applicable solely to Mr Miller, to an incentive pool, which is allocated at the Remuneration Committee's discretion.  The total pool available is, as before, 10% of the total shareholder return in excess of 12%, with the amount to be actually paid out capped at 0.5% of net asset value (NAV) in any one year. To ensure that incentive payments are primarily long term in nature, all payments from the incentive pool will be made one third in cash and two-thirds Company equity, the acquisition price of which for the individual will be the prevailing share price or NAV, whichever is higher. All executives will have to hold all of their Company equity for their entire period of employment by the Company. For the period ended 30 June 2013, as the current sole member of the executive team, the total contractual bonus cost relating to Mr Miller amounted to GBPnil, (period ended 30 June 2012: GBP444,365 of which GBPnil was physically paid during that period and GBP444,365 deferred to the next financial year & year ended 31 December 2012: GBP936,367, of which GBPnil was physically paid and GBP936,367 deferred to the next financial year). The total amount due and payable at the period end relating to Mr Miller's contractual bonus for the current period and prior years/periods amounted to GBPnil (30 June 2012: GBP552,984 &31 December 2012: GBP1,044,986). During the current period, the Remuneration Committee resolved to settle to Mr Miller's bonus accrual as at 31 December 2012, one half in cash and one half in shares. This payment is subject to clawback, should the Company's share price fail to retain its current level.

On 18 March 2013 ("transaction date"), the Company acquired 100% of the equity shares of HiWave UK and HiWave HK subsidiaries (the "HiWave Group"). The total consideration was GBP100,000 plus a recorded contingent consideration of GBP57,805. At the date of acquisition the fair value of HiWave Group's net liabilities was GBP(475,536), resulting in goodwill of GBP633,341. The goodwill on consolidation was as a result of the purchase consideration being different to the fair value of the net liabilities acquired on the transaction date. Goodwill was included in intangible fixed assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2013. Post acquisition net losses of GBP39,125 (revenue: GBP266,580), relating to HiWave Group, were included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period 30 June 2013.

Had the acquisition of HiWave Group occurred at the beginning of the period, the combined net revenues and net profits of the Group plus that of HiWave Group for the period ended 30 June 2013 would have been GBP8,237,046 and GBP3,247,322respectively.

 

On 12 November 2012 ("transaction date"), the Company acquired a partly owned subsidiary by acquiring 66.7% of the parent company of BMS Group. The total consideration was GBP11,459,483. At the date of acquisition the fair value of BMS Group's net assets was GBP11,672,078, resulting in a bargain gain of GBP212,595. The bargain gain on consolidation was as a result of the basic offer (based on the NAV of the BMS Group as at 30 September 2012 when the transaction was negotiated) being different to the fair value of the net assets acquired on the transaction date. This bargain gain was included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year. Post acquisition net profits of GBP360,855 (revenue: GBP855,508), relating to BMS Group, were included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2012.

*Interest on the loan notes is calculated on a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 76 basis points.

**The deferred income represents the non-refundable advance royalty payment received from the licensees. This is amortised on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

***A reconciliation of the movements in CLO loan notes during the year is provided in Note 3.

 

The loan notes represent the indebtedness of the CLO. The CLO was created and the loan notes were issued as part of the Company's leveraging plan. On 19 July 2007, the loan notes were issued by the CLO in five tranches, Class A through E, and sold to third parties, as well as subordinated income loan notes which were issued to the Company at inception, representing the residual economic interest (i.e. the equity) in the CLO. The loan notes were issued in the total amount of USD309,050,000 with a twelve year term. In 2008, approximately USD380,000 of the Class A loan notes were repaid under the terms of the Indenture. The "Indenture" dated 19 July 2007 is among T2 Income Fund CLO I Ltd as the "Issuer", T2 Income Fund CLO I LLC as the "Co-Issuer" and The Bank of New York Mellon as the "Trustee".

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For the period ended 30 June 2013

 

18.    SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the reporting of the executive management to the Board. The Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the portfolio, as well as making strategic investment decisions, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The CEO is responsible for the entire portfolio, including assets held at the Company level, AMIC and BMS Group subsidiaries, and considers the business to have a single operating segment. Although T2 CLO, AMIC and BMS Group are legally distinct entities, investment allocation decisions are based upon an integrated investment strategy and performance is evaluated on an overall basis and therefore the Group is considered to be a single operating segment.

 

The vast majority of the Group's investment income arises from investments in entities incorporated in the US.  Approximately 86% of the Group's gross assets is based in the US with the remainder of investments being based in the UK and Luxembourg.  The Group has a highly diversified portfolio of investments and no single investment accounts for more than 10% of the Group's income.

 

There were no changes in reportable segments during the current or prior period/year.
