Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented: "We continue to build our
customer base and sales, and, with the factory fully operational,
we are now able to process and sell marble slabs and tiles
throughout the year. Our material particularly, the Illirico Selene
and Alexandrian White, is proving very popular, and we are working
hard to meet the demand our sales and marketing effort has created.
We expect that our new sales base in Dubai will bear fruit in the
coming months, and we are already in discussion with potential
customers in the region. "
Sales and Marketing
As mentioned in our operational update of 31 July 2018 sales for
the six months to 30 June 2018 are EUR615k (2017 - EUR329,000).
The installation of the CNC machine in our factory in Lipjan
near Prishtina in Kosovo has allowed the Company to enter the
bespoke cut to size market including orders of 3,000 square metres
of Alexandrian White tiles to a large distributor in Greece,
Rekalis G Gregarios Marble and 7,500 square metres of 60cm x 60cm
Alexandrian White tiles to large scale retailer based in Mumbai in
India. The Company has established an office in Dubai to service
the GCC region and has entered into a forward purchase agreement
under the terms of which it has sold $500,000 of processed marble
for which it has received payment.
In addition to these large-scale orders we continue to complete
a number of smaller cut to size and bespoke orders out of the
factory for shipment internationally and to the local Kosovan
market.
Alongside sales of processed marble, the Company continues to
sell high quality block marble direct from its quarries to
international wholesalers mainly in China, India and Turkey.
Following the previously announced initial 300 tonnes of its
Illirico Selene marble to a sold to a new Chinese customer
following in June, the customer has returned to the site and
purchased a further order of over 300 tonnes. The customer has
confirmed they wish to take 300 tonnes of this material each month
for the next 12 months and are entering into an offtake agreement
to do so, supported by a letter of credit.
These are the first significant orders from China and represent
a breakthrough in that market. Fox understands that this material
is for a project that its customer is supplying and will require a
minimum of 5,000 tonnes to complete the project.
In June 2018, the Company announced that it had completed the
delivery of over 2,000 tonnes of block marble to Simsekler Mermer
Company. India continues to be a growing market, with repeat sales
made to existing customers throughout the period.
The Company has recently opened a new showroom for its material
in London. The showroom exhibits slabs from the complete range of
Fox Marble stone, including Illirico Selene, Illirico Bianco, Rosso
Cait, Breccia Paradisea, and Alexandrian White. It is intended that
the showroom will support the marketing of material to projects in
the United Kingdom and Northern Europe.
The showroom is conveniently located for European sales being
less than 10 miles from Heathrow Airport and 35 miles from
Stanstead Airport. Located at 2 Courtenay Road, East Lane, Wembley
HA9 7ND, it is also very close to North Wembley Station, and can be
visited by appointment.
Factory
The state-of-the-art Computer Numerical Control ("CNC") machine
has allowed the Company to expand its cut to size capabilities for
its own marble. The machine is capable of automatically processing
many varied shapes and thicknesses of material from slabs to small
blocks. The CNC machine allows the Company to produce marble
directly for installation into residential projects.
The Company continues to further expand capacity at the factory.
Fox Marble has taken delivery this month of a tile line in the
factory, which is currently being installed, together with
additional bridge saws and bridge edge processors. These machines,
once installed and operational, will allow the Company to produce
standard size tiles and stairs at high volume.
Various types of marble blocks continue to be stockpiled in the
block yard at the factory to meet demand for slabs and cut to size
orders throughout the winter even while the quarries are closed due
to the usual winter weather constraints. Over time this will reduce
the seasonal nature of the Company's sales. Further processing in
the factory allows the Company to improve its yield of quarried
material, as blocks with small defects which would not be
attractive to block buyers, can be processed in house to produce
high quality slabs.
Quarries
Additional capital expenditure has allowed new equipment to be
delivered to the quarries, and has had a positive impact,
production at the quarries has been encouraging.
We have continued to focus production efforts in Kosovo on the
Maleshevë quarry, as demand for our Illirico Selene is currently
outpacing our level of production. The Company has quarried 3,544
tonnes of material in the Maleshevë quarry in the period to 30 June
2018 (2017 2,753 tonnes). The quarry at Maleshevë is now open
across five eight metre benches and is producing a higher
proportion of high-grade blocks. At the Prilep quarry in the newly
named Republic of North Macedonia 1,929 tonnes were quarried in the
period to 30 June 2018 (2017 1,027 tonnes).
Financing
On 3 January 2018, the Company announced its intention to issue
7,235,712 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 10.5 pence per share by
means of a to raise GBP759,750 before expenses, and to issue a
further 19,047,619 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price by means
of a Subscription to raise GBP2 million before expenses. In
addition, the Company announced its intention to discharge
GBP783,000 of the Company's outstanding loans and other liabilities
by the issue of a further 7,457,140 new Ordinary Shares to certain
Directors and to Brandon Hill Capital Limited at 10.5 pence for
share.
On the 19 January 2018 the Company issued 33,740,471 Ordinary
Shares at 10.5p a share.
Following the placing, total borrowings at the Company as at 30
June 2018 are GBP675,000, being the outstanding Loan notes. (31
December 2017 - GBP2,760,000).
As previously announced on the 31 July 2018, the holders of the
series 3 and 5 Loan notes have subscribed for an additional
GBP300,000 of Loan notes on the same terms as previously announced
in the Company.
Outlook
The Board is positive about the outlook for the Company for the
remainder of this year and into 2019. The Company has increasing
numbers of customers in multiple jurisdictions who are making
orders of its material, and the ability to produce cut to size
material is expanding the range of customers around the world. This
will result in increased production and conversion of our order
book into sales and cash which is of critical importance.

of the six sites into production (the Drini and Maleshevë quarries,
both in Kosovo and from the Prilep Quarry in Macedonia) and
continues to increase production. Notably, Fox has access to over
300 million cubic metres (over 1bn tons) of premium quality
marble.

3) Going concern
The Directors have reviewed detailed projected cash flow
forecasts and are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare
this report on a going concern basis. In making this assessment
management has considered:
a) the current working capital position and operational requirements;
b) the timing of expected sales receipts and completion of existing orders;
c) the sensitivities of forecast sales figures over the next two years;
d) the timing and magnitude of planned capital expenditure;
e) the level of indebtedness and timing of when such liabilities may fall due; and
f) the working capital position over the next 18 months.
The forecasts make a number of operating assumptions around
which there are risks and uncertainties. These include an expected
levels of production at the Prilep and Maleshevë quarries,
satisfactory operation of the processing factory, and the ability
to drawdown on existing debt facilities. The Company is
anticipating significant growth in revenue through the conversion
of the existing sale and purchase contracts and signed offtake
agreements into delivered sales.
There are a number of key risks and uncertainties that could
impact the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern.
These include:
a) Levels of production at Maleshevë and Prilep can be impacted
by unforeseen delays due to inclement weather, geological features
impeding bench progression or equipment failure;
b) Levels of production at processing factory;
c) Realisation of the Company's order book could be impacted by
issues with production or delays in fulfilment;
d) Ability to draw down on existing debt facilities.
In the event that the risks identified are realised the Company
has available to it a number of other contingent actions are
available to the Company, which it can take to mitigate the impact
of potential downside scenarios. These include seeking additional
financing, leveraging existing sale agreements, reducing overheads,
and renegotiation of the terms of its existing debt
obligations.
In conclusion having regard to the existing and future working
capital position and projected sales, the Directors are of the
opinion that the Group has adequate resources to enable it to
undertake its planned activities for the next twelve months.
