A review of the performance of the group, to the extent
necessary for a reasonable understanding
of the group's business. It must include a discussion of the
following:-
(a) any significant factors that affected the turnover, costs,
and earnings of the group for the
current financial period reported on, including (where
applicable) seasonal or cyclical factors; and
(b) any material factors that affected the cash flow, working
capital, assets or liabilities of the
group during the current financial period reported on
The profit before tax for the financial period ended 30
September 2007 was US$17.2 million compared to
US$ 6.5 million in the previous financial period. The following
factors affected the profit before tax:
URevenue
- This has increased by 63.9% compared with the corresponding
quarter, contributed mainly by the
Group's property development segment due to sales of properties
in Denarau.
- For the Group's hotels segment, occupancy rate and average
room rate respectively have enjoyed
growth in the current quarter. In addition, the strength of the
British pound has contributed to the
improved revenue.
- The acquisition of The Clermont Club was completed on 1
December 2006 and the Group has
consolidated the results from the company.
UBass Strait Oil and Gas royalty
- The Group is entitled to 55.11% of royalty receipts from the
Bass Strait Royalty. In 1997, the entitlement
of the royalties was monetised into 44 million units for a
10-year period held by the Bass Strait Oil Trust.
The ordinary units which amounted to 44 million units expired in
July 2007. The residual 11.96 million
units owned by the Group would therefore now be entitled to the
full royalty sum.
Other operating income
- This has improved from US$5.6 million in the first quarter
ended 30 September 2006 to US$7.7 million
this quarter. Management fees earned by the Group's hotels
segment have contributed to this
improvement.
Direct costs of raw materials, consumable and services
- This has increased due to the inclusion of start-up costs in
the Group's gaming segment and higher direct
costs in the Group's property development and hotels segment in
line with the higher revenue.
Personnel expenses
- This has increased as a result of improved performance at the
Group's hotels segment during the first
quarter.
Net financing costs
- These have increased compared to the corresponding quarter due
to the funding of the Group's newly
established gaming segment and new projects in its property and
development segment. In addition, the
currencies in which the loans are borrowed have appreciated
against the US dollars. |
