    AIM ASIA H1 2014 Overview

    Of the 1,104 AIM constituents as at end June, 81 (or 7.3%) have their central operations based in Asia. The term Asia in this report refers specifically to the nations listed on the following page: besides the ten ASEAN members, we have included China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Mongolia.

    The net movement of Asian based AIM constituents in the six months since end 2013 has been -3, with the numbers of companies operating in China, Hong Kong, Mongolia and Thailand each reducing by one, and South Korea having gained a constituent.

    In H1 2014, there were four new joiners to AIM from the Asia region. Interestingly, all four of these have their central operations based in China. Two of these joined by way of an IPO, one by way of

    a Reverse Takeover and one by way of an Introduction (IPO with no fundraise). 7.5m was raised by the four companies in total. The average and median market capitalisations of the new joiners were 26.8m and 15.8m respectively.

    The H1 2014 new joiners each come from different sectors, namely the Oil & Gas, Financials, Technology and Basic Materials sectors. The largest of the new joiners in terms of market capitalisation by a significant margin was Adamas Finance Asia Ltd (ADAM.L, 144.0m). Although Oil & Gas play Leyshon Energy Plc (LEN.L, 10.3m) did not raise funds upon admission to AIM, it was injected with substantial funds prior to its spin out from AIM listed mother company, Leyshon Resources Ltd (LRL.L, 1.2m).

    There were five Secondary placings carried out by Asian based companies in H1 2014 that raised a total of 4.2m.

    Six Asian based companies left the market in H1 2014. Of these:

    ]] 3 chose to delist after no longer seeing the benefits of an AIM listing

    ]] 1 was the subject of a reverse takeover

    ]] 1 was acquired

    ]] 1 fell into administration

    AIM ASIA H1 2014 Secondary fundraisings

  • 15 Information sourced from London Stock Exchange and Allenby Capital

    Total funds raised by AIMs Asian based companies via Secondary placings amounted to 4.2m in H1 2014. This was accomplished by five placings across the Alternative Energy, Financials, Mining and Real Estate sectors.

    ZincOx Resources Plc (ZOX.L, 20.6m) is the developer of Asias largest zinc recycling project, the Korean Recycling Plant (KRP), located in South Korea. In April, ZincOx raised 1.03m via an equity placing. The proceeds were to be used to make repairs to its refractory and to ramp up production at the recycling plant. Later in April, the Company implemented an Open Offer to existing shareholders that raised a further 2.04m.

    Nova Resources Ltd (NOVA.L, 4.1m) is an investment company focused on high growth opportunities in the energy, infrastructure, technology, natural resources and manufacturing sectors. In January, as part of a larger syndicate the Group invested in Enerstry Group Ltd, a company that builds and manages renewable energy plants in South Korea. Novas investment primarily comprised a loan of $806k. Enerstys first plant project already supplies heat energy to a major milk producer in South Korea.

    AIM ASIA H1 2014 Trading volumes

  • 20 Information sourced from London Stock Exchange and Allenby Capital

    We believe that monthly trading value of a stock as a percentage of its market capitalisation helps give an indication of liquidity. Asian AIM stocks, on average, traded 1.32% of their market caps in June, the last month of H1 2014. This was below the average for the wider AIM market (average liquidity across all AIM constituents in June amounted to 3.56%).

    Vietnam Infrastructure Ltd (VNI.L, 94.4m) was AIM Asias most liquid stock in June. 20.2m worth of shares equating to 21.4% of the Companys market cap at month end exchanged hands as Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek disposed of its holding in the Company.

    AIM Asias most traded stock by value was hutchison China Meditech Ltd (hCM.L, 472.3m). 21.0m of shares in the Company were traded in June as interest intensified when HCM announced the commencement of Phase II clinical trials in non-small, cell lung cancer patients for one its agents under development, fruquintinib. In June the Group also commenced Phase I trails of an inhibitor of autoimmune diseases, as well as refinanced its $27m existing loan.
