Request a copy of the Investment Statement

Description:
Taupo Motorsport Park Limited (TMP) is seeking to issue 2,750,000 shares at a price of $1.10 per share with the minimum application being 3000 shares ($3,300) and multiples of 500 thereafter. Upon successful completion of the IPO TMP will list on the NZAX, with a market cap of around $10 million.

* TMP’s business combines the operation of New Zealand’s premier international motor sport venue with a complementary business park. The business park is home to motor sport and motor industry related businesses.

The Taupo Motorsport Park comprises New Zealand’s only FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) Grade 2 status motor racing circuit capable of hosting international motor sport events. Last year TMP hosted the A1GP and will do so again in January 2008.

The Chairman of TMP, Mr. John Parker said today that the company is projecting a fully imputed dividend of 1 cent for the year ending March 31 2008 increasing to 6 cents for the year ending 31 March 2009.

“Due to the uniqueness of the business we have included information in the prospectus that is additional to that required by the NZAX listing rules. The prospectus includes forecasts until 2009.” said Mr. Parker. “When the business was established three years ago it was recognised that a public listing was a goal to work towards but that any offer of shares would need to be based on an established facility and business. TMP is now well established in terms of facilities and a growing business base,” said Mr. Parker

“Motor racing is the most obvious business of the company but there are other important income streams. The use of the track for product launches, professional instruction and self drive are rapidly growing segments of the business”

Mr. Parker said that the pit lane facilities with 32 garages and 8 hospitality suites are designed not just for motor sport events but for product launches and conferences. “The business park is already substantially leased to companies involved in motor sport and has potential for expansion,” said Mr. Parker “Taupo is rapidly growing as a tourist, convention and adventure sport centre and as such is an ideal location for TMP. We see the company and the region growing together with exciting opportunities such as a skid pan, go carts, a motor museum, restaurant and an off road 4x4 track to name just some of the plans we have for the future.”

IN THE NEWS: a list of articles featuring TMP

 

The difference with Taupo Motorsport Park is that the company appears to have multiple-income sources to overcome the problem of utilisation. The park may be best known for hosting the A1 GP races in New Zealand last year. The value for investors comes not from hosting a marquee event like the A1 GP, but from all the activity that goes on when the park is out of the public consciousness. About two-thirds of the revenue is forecast to come from track operations, hosting events and activities such as driver training. The rest of the revenue comes from rental income on the business park the company has developed and income from hiring out the Pit Lane building.
