JADE ROAD INVESTMENTS LIMITED
(" Jade Road Investments ", " JADE ", the " Company " or the "
Group ")
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE
2023
Jade Road Investments Limited (AIM: JADE), the London quoted
pan-Asian diversified investment vehicle focused on providing
shareholders with attractive uncorrelated, risk-adjusted long-term
returns, is pleased to announce its interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2023.
Financial Highlights:
-- Total income decreased to US$0.59 million and was derived
from interest income as dividend income from investees, as opposed
to interest income from Jade's own cash (H1 2022: US$1.56
million).
-- Net loss of $ 1.4 million (H1 2022: US$ 1.02 million profit).
-- Consolidated basic / diluted loss per share of US$ 0.75 cents
(H1 2022: profit per share US$ 0.88 cents).
-- Consolidated NAV at 30 June 2023 increased by 3% to US$ 15.46
million/GBP 12.69 million (31 December 2022: US$15.13 million/GBP
12.4 million).
-- NAV per share at 30 June 2023 US$ 0.05 (GBP 0.04) (31 December 2022: US$0.13 / GBP 0.11 ).
-- Period end cash position of US$ 0.1 million (31 December 2022 : US$ 0.3 million).
Investment and Operational Highlights:
-- Future Metal Holdings Limited ( "Future Metal ")
o Pursuant to its latest Investment Policy, the Company has been
actively seeking divestment opportunities for this asset.
o In August 2023, the Quarry successfully renewed its mining
licence for another two years, which extended the validity period
to August 2025. As the Quarry's mining zone covers secondary
forestland for public welfare and farming land, the mining zone is
narrowed down from 2.3 square kilometres to 1.7 square kilometres.
However, the mineral reserves of the Quarry have not been
negatively impacted.
o As of the release of this interim report, the Company is
finalising the share purchase agreement and other transaction
documents with the local buyer.
-- Meize Energy Industries Holdings Limited (" Meize ")
o The Company is seeking a full divestment concerning the
remaining Series B preferred shares it holds after the successful
completion of the partial divestment in August 2022
o As of Q2 2023, as customer contracts were secured, Meize's
Xinjiang Plant produced 840 wind turbines and its Inner Mongolia
Plant produced 360 wind turbines.
o Based on Meize's management team's estimation, the total
output value of Meize would amount to USD21.0MM by the end of
2023.
-- DocDoc Pte Ltd (" DocDoc ")
o DocDoc is an asset-light and intellectual property-heavy
pan-Asian insurance fintech company.
o DocDoc's management team aims to generate SGD5MM from gross
insurance premiums in Singapore by the end of 2023, which would be
first revenues for the business.
-- Outlook:
o Future investments will be made in asset backed
income-generating investments as the Company disposes of all of its
legacy Asia-based assets and your Board hopes to be able to make
further announcements on this in the near future.

About Jade Road Investments
Jade Road Investments Limited is quoted on the AIM Market of the
London Stock Exchange and is committed to providing shareholders
with attractive uncorrelated, risk-adjusted long-term returns from
a combination of realising sustainable capital growth and
delivering dividend income.
The Company is focused on asset-backed and revenue-generating
investment opportunities which will provide more certainty when
predicting future cash flow. This allows the Company to plan an
appropriate dividend policy in due course. It is believed that this
will allow for the optimal delivery of shareholder value in the
form of the payment of a safe, consistent dividend yield at an
attractive spread to other yielding options, while growing the
underlying capital base of the Company.
The Company's investment manager, Harmony Global Partners
Limited ("Harmony Capital"), will advise the Board and the Company
on the orderly disposal of the legacy portfolios and advise on any
proposed new investments to be made in accordance with the
Company's new Investment Policy recently approved by
shareholders.
Harmony Capital shall, subject to the overall supervision and
control of the Board, also undertake general administrative,
investor relations, marketing, portfolio management and risk
management functions for the Company.
Chairman's Statement
As mentioned in my statement in our 2022 Annual Results, 2023 is
a year of ongoing transition for the Company as it moves away from
its previous focus on Asia to a more geographically diverse
investment strategy characterised by investing in a portfolio of
high yielding assets with a low correlation to most markets or
major asset classes.
In February of this year, the Company announced the completion
of an equity fundraise which was underwritten in its entirety by
Heirloom Investment Management LLC ("HIM"). The gross placing
amount for this fundraise was $1,750,000.
In line with its new amended investment strategy, the Company
then announced in April that it had invested USD500,000 in Heirloom
Investment Fund SPC - Heirloom Fixed Return Fund SP, managed by
HIM.
The new fund is geographically diverse with low correlation to
most markets or major asset classes, such as equities, fixed income
and real estate. Current themes include asset-backed lending,
equipment leasing, agriculture (farm business), niche real estate
(US single family rental), infrastructure, litigation finance and
music royalties.
An important element of transitioning the Company away from its
previous Asian focus is to actively seek buyers for its legacy
assets. In order to support this, the remuneration fee structure
for the Company's Investment Manager Harmony Capital has been
changed to comprise of a sharply reduced fixed annual management
fee of US$350k, alongside an incentive fee structure for asset
disposals. Incentive fees in this regard are only payable after a
minimum net sales value of US$6m has been reached.
Progress on asset disposals has inevitably been slow, given
their common characteristics of being essentially private equity in
nature. However, the Investment Management team have been working
closely with all our major assets with a view to finding suitable
exits, and I am hopeful that announcements on some core asset
disposals can be made during this year.
An equity fundraise of $1,050,000 was also completed in
September 2023 with new shares placed at a significant premium to
the Company's then share price.
Finally, on behalf of the board, I would like to extend my
thanks to all of our shareholders for your continued support.

Future Metal Holdings Limited ("FMH")
Our largest asset by value is the dolomite quarry project
("Quarry") in China, Future Metal Holdings Limited ("FMHL"), which
was previously known as Hong Kong Mining Holdings. The Company has
an 85% shareholding in FMHL.
JADE has been exploring the option of a partial or full exit of
this investment by actively engaging with interested parties on the
ground in the Shanxi Province as well as with brokers in Mainland
China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Including loan disbursements provided by the Company to FMHL and
its subsidiaries and accrued PIK interest, the estimated fair value
of the Company's investment is US$ 5.3 million as of 30 June 2023.
Due to the potential exit of this investment, in order to be
prudent, the company has decided to apply a 100% provision against
the income expected from FMHL.
Meize Energy Industries Holdings Limited ("Meize")
Swift Wealth Investments Limited, a 100% (2019: 100%) owned
subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin
Islands, held a 7.2% stake in Meize through a redeemable preference
share structure.
Meize is a privately owned company that designs and manufactures
blades for both onshore and offshore wind turbines.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement for 112,500 shares of the Series B Preferred Equity in
Meize for consideration of USD1.2 million. The transaction price
implies a valuation of USD10.0 million for the Company's investment
in Meize.
The partial divestment was completed by the end of August 2022.
The Company held approximately 6.3% interest in Meize post this
divestment.
As of 30 June 2023, the Company's interest in Meize had a fair
value of US$ 8.8 million based on an implied valuation following
the divestment of 112,500 shares.
DocDoc Pte Ltd. ("DocDoc")
DocDoc is a Singapore-headquartered online network of over
23,000 doctors, 600 clinics, and 100 hospitals serving a wide array
of specialities. It uses artificial intelligence, cutting-edge
clinical informatics, and proprietary data to connect patients to
doctors which fit their needs at an affordable price.
DocDoc pivoted its business model to become a "Neo Insurer" and
attempts to partner with insurance companies to enhance their
policy offerings. DocDoc is working to offer fully-digitised
insurance products to consumers or businesses, exclusively through
digital channels, with end-to-end digital service delivery. These
offerings will include quoting, binding, issuing of policies,
documentation, proof of insurance, electronic billing, payment and
real time policy management all digitally.
As of 30 June 2023, the carrying value of the Convertible Bond
was US$ 2.8 million. An annual coupon of 8% (4.0% cash and 4%
Payment-in-Kind was converted to 8% Payment-in-Kind).
In order to be prudent, the company has decided to apply a 100%
provision to the income expected from DocDoc.
Infinity Capital Group Limited ("ICG")
Ultimate Prosperity Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of the
Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, holds a Secured
Loan to ICG.
ICG develops premium residential projects in Hirafu Village, a
world-class ski village in Niseko, Japan - one of the most popular
winter travel destinations in the world.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Japan and the
Hokkaido region, ICG has been working closely with the local
management to monitor the domestic property market and the local
market's response to the pandemic, including construction project
planning and potential movements in property prices.
As of 30 June 2023, the carrying value of the Secured Loan was
US$ 1.4 million. The Company has decided to escalate its efforts to
ensure an exit from this position including taking legal action
while also pursuing consensual avenues. Due to the planned exit of
this investment, in order to be prudent, the company has decided to
apply a 100% provision against the income expected from ICG.

Kong.
The Company is quoted on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange (code: JADE) and the Quotation Board of the Open Market of
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (code: 1CP1).
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The
Company is principally engaged in investing primarily in unlisted
assets in the areas of mining, power generation, health technology,
telecommunications, media and technology ("TMT"), and financial
services or listed assets driven by corporate events such as
mergers and acquisitions, pre-IPO, or re-structuring of state-owned
assets.
The condensed consolidated interim financial information was
approved for issue on 29 September 2023.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has
been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and presented in US
Dollars.
3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has
been prepared on the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities
at fair value through the income statement.
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the
condensed consolidated financial information for the six months
ended 30 June 2023 are the same as those followed in the
preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2022 and are those the Group expects to apply
into financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023.
There was no impact on the Company's accounting policies as a
result of any new or amended standards which became applicable for
the current accounting period.
The seasonality or cyclicality of operations does not impact the
interim financial information.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segment has been determined and reviewed by the
Board to be used to make strategic decisions. The Board considers
there to be a single business segment, being that of investing
activity.
The reportable operating segment derives its revenue primarily
from debt investment in several companies and unquoted
investments.
The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments
based on a measure of adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortisation ("EBITDA"). This measurement basis
excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the
operating segments such as restructuring costs. The measure also
excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and
unrealised gains/losses on financial instruments.
The segment information provided to the Board for the reportable
segment for the periods are as follows:

5. TAXATION
The Company is incorporated in the BVI and Hong Kong. The
Company is not subject to any income tax in the BVI. The Company
does not engage in any business activities or generate income in
Hong Kong; therefore it is not subject to taxation in Hong
Kong.
6. DIVID
The Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend
in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022:
Nil).

The corporate debt reached maturity in October 2022. The Company
has not yet realized sufficient funds from its current program of
legacy asset disposals to redeem these bonds. In December 2022 the
Company agreed an extended maturity of the loan notes issued to 31
December 2023 and an increased interest rate of 15% from December
2022. The interest rate payable on the principal amount of the loan
notes will increase to 16% per annum where US$1.8m or more of the
principal amount remains outstanding by 30 June 2023. The interest
payment due on 30 June 2023 was not made and the Company agreed
with bondholders to increase the interest rate between 1 July 2023
and 14 August 2023 to 18%. As the interest payment was not made by
14 August 2023, the interest rate will continue at 18% until such
payment is made.
