Chinese investors plan $10-billion metallurgical complex in South Africa
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said at a joint news conference with Xi on Tuesday that China had committed to invest $14.7 billion in the South African economy, but neither leader mentioned the $10-billion complexREUTERS | July 27, 2018, 17:31 IST

JOHANNESBURG: Chinese investors signed agreements to build a $10-billion metallurgical complex in South Africa during President Xi Jinping's state visit this week and hope to start construction next year, an executive involved in the project and a provincial official told Reuters.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said at a joint news conference with Xi on Tuesday that China had committed to invest $14.7 billion in the South African economy, but neither leader mentioned the $10 billion complex.

Ramaphosa is on a mission to kickstart economic growth after a decade of stagnation and is targeting $100 billion in new investment over five years.

The complex, which is still in the planning stage and envisages building a stainless steel plant, a ferrochrome plant and a silicomanganese plant, is a much-needed vote of confidence in the sputtering South African economy.

Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies said on Tuesday that China was considering a metallurgical project in a special economic zone (SEZ), but he did not reveal the scale of the project or timeframe.

The executive involved in the project, who did not wish to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said memoranda on the complex were signed before Xi and Ramaphosa gave news conference on Tuesday.

"The investors for the SEZ project were in the room when Ramaphosa and Xi spoke to the press," the executive said.

Richard Zitha, a project executive at the Musina-Makhado SEZ where the complex will be based, said the project was being led by Chinese state-owned companies, but he declined to name them.

He said the Chinese investors would look for Black Economic Empowerment partners to comply with South African rules designed to address racial disparities more than two decades after the end of apartheid.

The investors were open to investors from other countries joining at a later stage, he said.

"The investors have been in South Africa for around a week and have visited mines to look for inputs for the project," Zitha said.

The Musina-Makhado SEZ is in Limpopo province close to South Africa's borders with Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

The SEZ plans to house plants with a capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum of stainless steel, 3 million tonnes per annum of ferrochrome and 500,000 tonnes per annum of silicomanganese. Those capacity targets are subject to change and will be finalised by the end of the year, the executive said.

A coal-fired power plant, coking plant and coal washery will be built alongside the metallurgical plants, a presentation prepared for investors showed.

Some of the steel output for the complex has been earmarked for export to China, while other products would be sold to countries in southern Africa, the executive said.

South Africa is already a major exporter of metal alloys to China.

Investors are hoping to receive the necessary environmental approvals by the end of March and would then start construction, Zitha said.

2018-08-15 11:12 MT - News Release


Mr. Christopher Way reports

CANAF ANNOUNCES FINALISATION OF B-BBEE TRANSACTION FOR ITS SOUTH AFRICAN SUBSIDIARY

Canaf Investments Inc., formerly known as Canaf Group Inc., has finalized its new Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment transaction for its South African subsidiary, Southern Coal Pty. Ltd.

Further to the announcement dated July 6, 2018, the corporation can confirm that Amandla Amakhulu (RF) Pty. Ltd., a 100% black, privately owned ringfenced company incorporated in South Africa, has acquired 30% of the issued shares of Southern Coal, from Canaf's wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum Screening and Crushing (Pty) Ltd., ("Quantum"), for the value of R18million (C$1.7m approx), with effective date 03 July 2018.

Quantum has in return received cumulative, redeemable preference shares in AAM in the amount of the purchase price, R18million (C$1.7million approx). These preference shares shall provide preferential dividends, until all preference shares have been redeemed by AAM. These dividends are subject to terms and conditions requiring AAM to pay Quantum such dividends from any distribution received from Southern Coal and is also subject to further protective conditions to the benefit of Quantum.

Christopher Way, Chief Executive Officer of Canaf, states, "the finalisation of the transaction with Amandla Amakhulu marks a significant milestone in a strategic plan to bring Southern Coal's B-BBEE rating in line with our customers requirements. It is with great pleasure to deliver what we have promised to our customers."

About Canaf

Canaf is a public company listed on the TSX-V Exchange. Canaf's head office is in Vancouver, Canada, with subsidiary offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa. Canaf owns 100% of Quantum Screening and Crushing Pty. Ltd., a South African based company that owns 70% of Southern Coal (Pty) Ltd., ("Southern Coal"), a company that produces a high carbon, de-volatised anthracite.

About Southern Coal

Southern Coal produces calcined anthracite, a product used primarily as a substitute to coke in sintering processes. Southern Coal produces calcined anthracite by feeding washed anthracite coal through rotary kilns, at temperatures between 900 and 1100 degrees centigrade; the volatiles are driven off and the effective carbon content increased.

Southern Coal's two largest clients are African leaders in steel and ferromanganese production. Southern Coal operates near Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, where Quantum's three kilns operate; the majority of Southern Coal's feedstock anthracite is supplied from local anthracite mines in KwaZulu-Natal.

Sept 3rd 2018 - R14bn deal between SA and China will enable economic growth - https://citizen.co.za/business/2003901/r14bn-deal-between-sa-and-china-will-enab le-economic-growth-presidency/

Key notes: South Africa’s Department of Trade and Industry and China’s National Development and Reform Commission also pledged to cooperate on international investment promotion for the African country’s special economic zones and industrial parks, including a 4 600 MW coal-fired plant, a cement plant, and other metallurgical projects. “The projects will see the investment, planning, constructing and operation of coking, ferromanganese, ferrochromium, silico-manganese, stainless steel, supporting administrative service centre and living areas, highways, and a shipping integrated logistics centre among others,” the Presidency said.

Management Discussion & Highlights

OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

Revenues for the nine months were $12,137,604 (2017 - $8,443,667) a 43.7% increase, and the Corporation continues to
be profitable with gross profits of $933,187 (2017 - $889,225) a 4.9% increase and net income for nine month period
ended July 31, 2018 of $516,105 (2017 - $595,716) a 13% reduction. While revenues and gross margin have grown,
increased cost of sales produced smaller gross margin percentages, 2018 7.7% (2017 10.5 %). The reduction in the gross
margin is mainly due to major maintenance and re-commissioning costs during the period as well as various one off
costs.

The Corporation expects to continue to operate profitably into Q4, however Revenue is expected to reduce slightly as
demand for calcine reduces slightly due to a slowing in manganese and steel production downstream of the supply chain.
The Corporation cannot be sure of how long this slight reduction in demand will continue for, however remains
confident that Southern Coal will continue to operate profitably as it continues to work with a potential new customer
with the intention to secure a new long-term supply contract.

Whilst continuing to ensure that Southern Coal continues to generate free cash flow, the Corporation is also actively
exploring new opportunities in South Africa and its neighbours, as it accumulates cash and reduces its gearing; from
January 2019 Southern Coal will have completed the repayment of the 14 million Rand loan with ABSA which will
add approximately $26,000 per month to its cash-flow.

The Corporation’s B-BBEE transaction for the sale of 30% of Quantum’s shares in Southern Coal for 18 million Rand
was completed during the quarter. This marks a significant milestone in the strategic plan to bring Southern Coal’s BBBEE
rating in line with its existing and potential new customers’ requirements. The revised effective date for the
transaction is 01 August 2018.

BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION (B-BBEE)

As part of Southern Coal’s B-BBEE transformation program, Amandla Amakhulu (Pty) Ltd., (“AAM”), a 100% black,
privately owned, and ringfenced, company incorporated in South Africa, acquired 30% of the issued shares of Southern
Coal, from Canaf’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum, for the value of 18 million Rand. The revised effective date
for the transaction is 01 August 2018.

Quantum in return received cumulative, redeemable preference shares in AAM in the amount of the purchase price.
These preference shares shall provide preferential dividends, until redeemed by AAM. These dividends will be secured
by an irrevocable direction from AAM to Southern Coal to pay Quantum such dividends from any distribution to
AAM.

CLAIM AGAINST KILEMBE MINES LIMITED

In August 2006, Canaf, then known as Uganda Gold Mining, announced the termination of any further investment into
its Kilembe Copper-Cobalt Project in Uganda. Since 2007, the Corporation has been engaged in an arbitration with
Kilembe Mines Limited, (“KML”), whereby the Corporation seeks general damages, special damages and costs of the
arbitration from KML for breach of contract.

The legal work, carried out by MMAKS Advocates, Kampala, against KML is at no cost to the Corporation, but any
award in won by MMAKS efforts will be distributed to both MMAKS and Canaf.

Despite the fact that the claim against KML Corporation remains active, the Corporation is unable to give an indication
of either the quantum or any likely date by which the arbitration will be concluded.

Sales

Revenue for the nine months was $12,137,604 (2017 - $8,443,667), 44% increase due to high demand for Southern
Coal's calcine product from both of its main customers, particularly in Q2. The Corporation is confident that
Sales will remain at profitable levels in to Q4, however expects to see a slight reduction in comparison
to Q3, as demand falls off slightly.

Expenses

Expenses for the nine months were $444,535 (2017 - $237,288) an increase of $89,286, 25%, primarily due to
increased costs relating to the B-BBEE program and major maintenance costs on Southern Coal’s old calcining
facilities. Other one off expenses that were incurred during the period were legal costs relating to the Corporation’s
name change, as well as back dated rent for Southern Coal’s premises which were negotiated at approximately $20,000.
General administrative and finance expenses for the nine month period were $418,788 (July 31, 2017 - $312,829) an
unfavorable variance of $105,959, primarily due to increased involvement in South Africa’s B-BBEE program and
increased activity resulting in higher management fees and office expenses. The Corporation incurred extra
management and consultant fees due to the passing of its previous CFO, Zeny Manalo as well as transitional costs
associated with the resignation and appointment of its CFO during the year. The Corporation does not expect any further
extra ordinary management or consultant fees going forward.

Comprehensive Income

The Corporation is not subject to currency fluctuations in its core activities however the Corporation is subject to
transactions in various currencies and the volatility in international currency markets does have an impact on some
costs and the translation into US$ the reporting currency of the Corporation. The current period comprehensive gain on
foreign exchange in the amount of $119,153 (2017 - $27,014) is primarily as a result of the translation into US$ the
reporting currency. As at July 31, 2018 the Corporation has net comprehensive gain of $635,257 (July 31, 2017 -
$622,730.) The Corporation does not hedge net asset translation movements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At July 31, 2018, the Corporation had cash of $1,252,240 (October 31, 2017 - $453,609) and working capital of
$1,735,049 (October 31, 2017 - $1,098,726). Surplus cash and cash equivalents are deposited in interest accruing
accounts.

Working capital components include cash in current or interest bearing accounts, trade and other receivables, sales tax
receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses and deposits, trade and other payables, sales tax payable, income tax
payable, and current portion of long-term debt.

Trade receivables and trade payables are expected to increase or decrease as sales volumes change.

Article: Anthracite Coal Market Heating Up Due To Global Demand & Supply Issues

http://news-australia-today.com/index.php/2018/09/28/anthracite-market-analysis- to-2023-top-10-companies-trends-growth-factors-business-development-and-industry -analysis/

Anthracite Market Analysis to 2023 | Top 10 Companies, Trends, Growth Factors, Business Development and Industry Analysis
SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 BY MARKET RESEARCH FUTURE IN ANTHRACITE MARKET, MARKET · 0 COMMENT
Anthracite is the high-level ranking coal because it is rigid, carbon concentrated, has less moisture content, and burns efficiently than other coals. Due to its excess carbon storage and low volatiles, anthracite is more reactive and efficient with respect to energy released than the lower–ranked coals and consequently has a lower environmental impact due to the lower greenhouse gas emissions. Urbanization of the emerging economies is resulting in the largest migration of people in human history. The infrastructure required to support the resulting rapid growth is creating unprecedented demand for steel and the anthracite coal needed to produce it. Combined with declining coal reserves it is expected that there will be long-term global shortage of metallurgical coals. Approximately 500 million tons of new annual metallurgical coal production will be required by the end of the decade to service the growth in demand.

Global Top 10 Key Players

Key players of the global Anthracite market are: Blaschak Coal Corporation (US), Lehigh Anthracite (US), Atlantic Coal Plc. (UK), Atrum Coal Ltd (Australia), Celtic Energy (US), Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Group (US), Sadovaya Group (Europe), Vostok Coal (Russia), Siberian Anthracite (Russia), Robindale Energy Services, Inc. (U.S) and others.

Anthracite Market – Intended Audience

Anthracite manufacturers
Traders and distributors of Anthracite
Production Process industries
Potential investors
Raw material suppliers
Nationalized laboratory
Regional analysis:

The global anthracite market is classified on the basis of mixed geographic segmentation which involves regions such as America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Out of all, Asia Pacific Anthracite market is largest market owing to robust industry growth of application industry in China, Japan and India. At a time Vietnam and Ukraine were the biggest exporters of anthracite are quickly decreasing from the market with their combined exports. The rapid decrease in anthracite exports appears unable to be supplied from other major exporters in Russia and South Africa, resulting in a tight supply and demand dynamic, creating a strong price environment.

China is major dominating country owing to large scale production of end user industries such as metallurgy and power & energy. Russia led to the second position in terms of producing anthracite followed by Ukraine, Vietnam, Korea, South Africa, US, and others. While the major exporter of anthracite in decreasing order are Vietnam, Russia, China, North Korea, South Africa, US, Germany, UK, and others. On the other hand the major importers of anthracite in decreasing order are China, Japan, South Korea, France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, and others.

Mining of high-quality anthracite occurs mainly in China, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, the United States and Vietnam. There is sizeable production in some western European countries, but the quality is primarily suitable only for power generation. In terms of exporting, countries such as Russia and Ukraine have become the dominant suppliers to world markets over the past seven years due to their lower production costs. In Asia, Russia is constantly replacing China and Vietnam in various markets. In the western region, Ukraine is becoming the important anthracite supplier.

Russia has emerged in recent years as the key anthracite supplier to Europe and other markets around the world. Production in Ukraine has been affected by the conflict in the east of the country since 2014 but may recover from now on. Vietnam’s position as world supplier is continuous decaling due to its high cost producing charges. Other sources such as South Africa and the United States focus primarily on their domestic markets, with small exports.

Segmentation

The global Anthracite market is majorly segmented on the basis of application, end users and region. Based on application of Anthracite the market is segmented into fuel, steel making, sinter plants, indurating furnaces, furnace coal replacement, and others. Based on end user the market segmented steel , energy & power, bricks, silicon & glass, synthetic fuels, others and based on region market is segmented into North America, Europe, APAC, Latin America, Middle East & Africa.

Is Canaf Investments Inc’s (CVE:CAF) 18% ROE Strong Compared To Its Industry?
Kyle Sanford October 6, 2018
Many investors are still learning about the various metrics that can be useful when analysing a stock. This article is for those who would like to learn about Return On Equity (ROE). We’ll use ROE to examine Canaf Investments Inc (CVE:CAF), by way of a worked example.

Canaf Investments has a ROE of 18%, based on the last twelve months. One way to conceptualize this, is that for each CA$1 of shareholders’ equity it has, the company made CA$0.18 in profit.

Check out our latest analysis for Canaf Investments

How Do You Calculate Return On Equity?
The formula for ROE is:

Return on Equity = Net Profit ÷ Shareholders’ Equity

Or for Canaf Investments:

18% = US$462k ÷ US$3m (Based on the trailing twelve months to July 2018.)

Most readers would understand what net profit is, but it’s worth explaining the concept of shareholders’ equity. It is all earnings retained by the company, plus any capital paid in by shareholders. Shareholders’ equity can be calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of the company from the total assets of the company.

What Does Return On Equity Mean?
ROE looks at the amount a company earns relative to the money it has kept within the business. The ‘return’ is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. A higher profit will lead to a a higher ROE. So, all else equal, investors should like a high ROE. That means ROE can be used to compare two businesses.

Does Canaf Investments Have A Good Return On Equity?
By comparing a company’s ROE with its industry average, we can get a quick measure of how good it is. However, this method is only useful as a rough check, because companies do differ quite a bit within the same industry classification. As you can see in the graphic below, Canaf Investments has a higher ROE than the average (11%) in the metals and mining industry.

TSXV:CAF Last Perf October 5th 18
TSXV:CAF Last Perf October 5th 18
That’s clearly a positive. We think a high ROE, alone, is usually enough to justify further research into a company. One data point to check is if insiders have bought shares recently.

Why You Should Consider Debt When Looking At ROE
Virtually all companies need money to invest in the business, to grow profits. That cash can come from issuing shares, retained earnings, or debt. In the first and second cases, the ROE will reflect this use of cash for investment in the business. In the latter case, the debt used for growth will improve returns, but won’t affect the total equity. That will make the ROE look better than if no debt was used.

Combining Canaf Investments’s Debt And Its 18% Return On Equity
While Canaf Investments does have a tiny amount of debt, with debt to equity of just 0.069, we think the use of debt is very modest. The fact that it achieved a fairly good ROE with only modest debt suggests the business might be worth putting on your watchlist. Conservative use of debt to boost returns is usually a good move for shareholders, though it does leave the company more exposed to interest rate rises.

The Key Takeaway
Return on equity is useful for comparing the quality of different businesses. In my book the highest quality companies have high return on equity, despite low debt. All else being equal, a higher ROE is better.

Canaf announces full repayment of term loan and award of B-BBEE rating

2019-01-21 10:03 MT - News Release

Mr. Christopher Way reports

CANAF ANNOUNCES FULL REPAYMENT OF TERM LOAN AND AWARD OF B-BBEE RATING

Canaf Investments Inc.'s majority-owned South African subsidiary, Southern Coal Pty Ltd., has fully repaid a term loan. Canaf has been awarded a level 4 broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) rating.

On 07 January 2019, Southern Coal (Pty) Ltd., ("Southern Coal") the Corporation's majority owned South African subsidiary, made its final payment for the 14 million Rand loan from ABSA bank, which was drawn down in February 2015. Repayment of this loan now releases Southern Coal from monthly instalments of approximately 392,000 Rand (approx. C$37,000 or US$28,000), which the Corporation plans to allocate to future diversification or expansion projects.

On 21 January 2019, and further to the Corporation's announcement on 15 August 2018, Southern Coal was awarded a Level 4, B-BBEE rating. Christopher Way, Chief Executive Office of Canaf, states, "Achieving a Level 4 rating is a proud achievement for Southern Coal, and now frees up the company's ability to engage in long-term agreements with existing and new potential customers."

The achievement of both the repayment of debt and the award of a Level 4 B-BBEE rating further strengthens the Corporation's financial and strategic position, as it looks at new investment and expansion opportunities.

About Canaf

Canaf is a public company listed on the TSX-V Exchange. Canaf's registered office is in Vancouver, Canada, with subsidiary offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa. Canaf owns 100% of Quantum Screening and Crushing (Pty) Ltd., ("Quantum"), a South African based company that owns 70% of Southern Coal (Pty) Ltd., ("Southern Coal"), a company that produces a high carbon, de-volatised (calcined) anthracite.

About Southern Coal

Southern Coal produces calcined anthracite, a product used primarily as a substitute to coke in sintering processes. Southern Coal produces calcined anthracite by feeding washed anthracite coal through rotary kilns, at temperatures between 900 and 1100 degrees centigrade; the volatiles are driven off and the effective carbon content increased.

Southern Coal's two largest clients are African leaders in steel and ferromanganese production. Southern Coal operates near Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, where Quantum's three kilns operate; the majority of Southern Coal's feedstock anthracite is supplied from local anthracite mines in KwaZulu-Natal.

2018 Performance

Net Income: $298,144

Canaf Investments has added $737,808USD ($959,150CAD @ 1.30 Exchange) in net income over the last 8 quarters, established new business relationships with the acquisition of their BBEEE certificate that took a long time to receive, are diversifying the company as per the MD&A below, yet the price is still where it was two years ago, thus the price/earnings ratio is also very low. It says below in the MD&A that shareholders equity was pegged at $4.6 million CAD, which is today’s current market cap value. Almost all companies on the TSX/TSXV/CSE trade far beyond this value, thus giving Canaf an even bigger discount for no reason. Read all MD&A information below as there are numerous things happening with the company in 2019. There were also one time expenses such as BBEEE and company name change that increased expenses just for 2018.

MD&A Highlights (Management Discussion)

The Corporation reports another strong year of sales and earnings with revenues for the twelve months of $14,673,658 (2017: $10,699,117) a 37.1% increase, and gross profits of $1,171,328 (2017: $1,223,110) a 4.1% decrease. Net income for the year increased 15.1% to $623,884 (2017: $541,808).

An important achievement of the Corporation during the year was the sale of 30% of Quantum’s shares in Southern Coal for 18 million Rand, which enabled, and contributed, to Southern Coal achieving a Level 4 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) rating. Achieving this rating will enable Southern Coal to engage in long-term supply contracts with its customers. The Corporation can confirm that long-term (24 month) contracts with both its existing main customers should be renewed during Q2 and Q3, 2019.

During Q1 2019, the Corporation is pleased to confirm that a trial load of its calcined product was delivered to a new potential and significant customer. Trials will be ongoing into Q2 2019, and should this convert to an ongoing supply, the Corporation feels that there is potential to return to the revenue levels of the year ended October 31, 2018.

The Corporation expects to continue to operate profitably into 2019, however management expects revenues to be significantly reduced in comparison to the year ended October 31, 2018, mostly due to global pressure on the steel and manganese markets, which subsequently filters back to demand for Southern Coal’s product.

While revenues and net income have grown, gross margin suffered as Southern Coal experienced increased costs of production primarily due to increased cost of its anthracite feedstock material. The Corporation expects its gross margins to remain squeezed into next year. In addition to pressure from suppliers, the Corporation carried out major essential maintenance and re-commissioning during the year on one of its old calcining plants.

During Q1 2019, Southern Coal made its final payment for the 14 million Rand loan from ABSA bank, which was drawn down in February 2015. Repayment of this loan now releases Southern Coal from monthly installments of approximately 392,000 Rand (approx. C$37,000 or US$28,000), which the Corporation plans to allocate to future diversification or expansion projects. As of January 2019, the Corporation has zero long-term liabilities.

Whilst the Corporation reports another profitable and financially positive year, the board can confirm that it is actively looking for new opportunities that will offer long-term growth potential for shareholders, be it related to its existing anthracite calcining operation in South Africa or another new, and un-related, sector. With zero long-term debt, a strong balance sheet, and a cash flow positive business in South Africa, the Corporation believes it is in a good position to do so. In the meantime, the Corporation will continue to grow its shareholder’s equity, which as of October 31, 2018, stands at approximately $3.5 million (C$4.6 million).

BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT TRANSACTION (B-BBEE)

As part of Southern Coal’s B-BBEE transformation program, Amandla Amakhulu (Pty) Ltd, (“AAM”), a 100% black, privately owned, and ringfenced, company incorporated in South Africa, acquired 30% of the issued shares of Southern Coal, from Canaf’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum, for the value of 18 million Rand. The financial effective date for the transaction is 01 August 2018. Quantum in return received cumulative, redeemable preference shares in AAM in the amount of the purchase price. These preference shares shall provide preferential dividends, until redeemed by AAM. These dividends will be secured by an irrevocable direction from AAM to Southern Coal to pay Quantum such dividends from any distribution to AAM.

CLAIM AGAINST KILEMBE MINES LIMITED

In August 2006, Canaf, then known as Uganda Gold Mining, announced the termination of any further investment into its Kilembe Copper-Cobalt Project in Uganda. Since 2007, the Corporation has been engaged in an arbitration with Kilembe Mines Limited, (“KML”), whereby the Corporation seeks general damages, special damages and costs of the arbitration from KML for breach of contract. The legal work, carried out by MMAKS Advocates, Kampala, against KML is at no cost to the Corporation, but any award in won by MMAKS efforts will be distributed to both MMAKS and Canaf. Despite the fact that the claim against KML Corporation remains active, the Corporation is unable to give an indication of either the quantum or any likely date by which the arbitration will be concluded.

Revenue for the year was $14,673,658 (2017: $10,699,117), 37.1% increase due to high demand for Southern Coal's calcine product from both of its main customers. Sales for the year-end October 31, 2019 are expected to reflect a significant reduction in comparison to the current year, assuming no new customers are secured. The expected reduction in sales is primarily down to global uncertainties in the steel and manganese markets that Southern Coal supplies in to. Despite the expected reduction in sales, management can confirm that it is working on ensuring that gross margins improve by implementing efficiencies in Sothern Coal’s operations.

Expenses for the year were $587,312 (2017: $504,788) an increase of $82,524, 16.3%, primarily due to increased costs relating to the B-BBEE program ($75,573) and necessary legal and administrative charges in relation to the Corporations name and jurisdiction changes in Canada, offset by reduced interest on the bank loan. The Corporation incurred extra management and consultant fees due to the passing of its previous CFO, Zeny Manalo as well as transitional costs associated with the appointment and resignation of Derick Sinclair, and appointment of Rebecca Williams as CFO during the year. The Corporation does not expect any further extra ordinary management or consultant fees going forward. Additional details of general and admin expenses can be found in the table below.

Finance Cost for the year were $27,853 (2017 $86,837) a favorable variance of $58,984 (68%) as a result of nearing the end of the loan period.

At October 31, 2018, the Corporation had cash of $552,351 (October 31, 2017: $453,609) and working capital of $1,477,490 (October 31, 2017: $1,098,726). Surplus cash and cash equivalents are deposited in interest accruing accounts. Working capital components include cash in current or interest bearing accounts, trade and other receivables, sales tax receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses and deposits, trade and other payables, sales tax payable, income tax payable, and current portion of long-term debt. Trade receivables and trade payables are expected to increase or decrease as sales volumes change

MD&A Highlights

Whilst the Corporation reports another profitable and financially positive quarter, the board can confirm that it is actively looking for new opportunities that will offer long-term growth potential and stability of sales for shareholders, be it related to its existing anthracite calcining operation in South Africa or another new, and unrelated, sector.
With zero long-term debt, a strong balance sheet, and a cash flow positive business in South Africa, the Corporation believes it is in a good position to do so.

Sales for the first quarter of 2019 were low compared to the previous quarter in 2018 at $2,419,633 (2018: $3,273,213), a 26% decline, however gross profits grew to $329,519, compared with $248,562 in the same quarter in 2018, a 33% increase. Net income for the quarter remained static at $187,367 (2018: $187,126), but increased from $108,996 the previous quarter. Despite sales reducing during the quarter, gross profit margin increased due to discounted feed material being purchased during the period as well as savings made through acquisition of machinery, which subsequently reduced rental costs for the Corporation. The Corporation expects profit margins to reduce next quarter, and remain squeezed throughout the rest of the year, as Southern Coal continues to manage increased input costs.

The Corporation expects revenues to be reduced in comparison to the year ended October 31, 2018, mostly due to global pressure on the steel and manganese markets, which subsequently filters back to demand for Southern Coal’s product. During Q1 2019, the Corporation is pleased to confirm that a trial load of its calcined product was delivered to a new potential, and significant, customer. The Corporation hopes to finalise a second trial during Q2 and Q3, and should this convert to an ongoing supply, the Corporation feels that there is potential to return to the revenue levels of the year ended October 31, 2018.

During Q1 2019, Southern Coal made its final payment for the 14 million Rand loan from ABSA bank, which was drawn down in February 2015. Repayment of this loan now releases Southern Coal from monthly installments of approximately 392,000 Rand (approx. C$37,000 or US$28,000). As of January 2019, the Corporation has zero long-term liabilities.

As part of Southern Coal’s B-BBEE transformation program, Amandla Amakhulu (Pty) Ltd, (“AAM”), a 100% black, privately owned, and ringfenced, company incorporated in South Africa, acquired 30% of the issued shares of Southern Coal, from Canaf’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum, for the value of 18 million Rand. The financial effective date for the transaction is 01 August 2018.

Quantum in return received cumulative, redeemable preference shares in AAM in the amount of the purchase price. These preference shares shall provide preferential dividends, until redeemed by AAM. These dividends will be secured by an irrevocable direction from AAM to Southern Coal to pay Quantum such dividends from any distribution to AAM. Dividends were declared during the first quarter of $135,441.52

Expenses for the quarter were $119,276 (2018: $167,892) a reduction of $48,616, 41%, although not separately reported in Q1 of 2018 there are a significant amount of increased costs in relation to BBEEE compared to Q1 ofthis financial year.

Canaf Investments Inc. has registered new South African subsidiaries as part of its growth and diversification strategy.

Canaf has registered a new wholly owned South African subsidiary, Canaf Investments Pty. Ltd., which wholly owns Canaf Estate Holdings Pty. Ltd.

The new subsidiaries have been registered as part of the corporation's strategy plans, with the intention of creating a diverse corporation focused on sustainable and long-term growth sectors within South Africa. Canaf Investments Pty. will be used to act as a holding company for new South African investment companies.

CEH will be used to invest in properties primarily within the suburbs of the old Johannesburg CBD; an area that is currently benefiting from significant investment and regeneration projects. The corporation sees investment in real estate in these suburban areas as an opportunity to acquire properties that should experience significant capital growth, whilst yielding healthy rental returns. Examples of major projects close to CEH's target area include Jewel City, Maboneng and Victoria Yards, and one of the major funds to invest in the area is Divercity, http://divercity.co.za.

The vision for CEH is to acquire, redevelop and hold properties targeting the student and affordable housing market, with the goal to purchase enough critical mass to uplift the entire area, thereby growing the capital value of the properties in the area.

The Corporation can also confirm the acquisition of CEH's first investment of approximately $150,000, which is expected to yield a 20-per-cent return when fully occupied. Funding is sourced organically through existing cash reserves and local lenders. Canaf plans to develop further opportunities using similar sources of capital.

Good to see CAF back at a 18 month high. Company has $4 million in assets vs $500k in liabilities and based on the last news release and numbers, should continue to grow. But what I don't like is that the company twisted the last news release by saying they made money, when they actually lost after the currency exchange, see financials on Sedar.

I am selling my stock off and acquiring NDR.V(Canada)/NWDMF(USA) because it's the same price as CAF right now and New Dimension has 8 gold projects and closing a pp(filled with insider/institutional buying) to work on those projects. Coking coal isn't favoured in this market, gold is. I recommend making the switch.


Canaf earns $285,684 (U.S.) over six months
