Loan book
summary 30 April 2010
We have purchased currency options to hedge certain of the
future foreign currency loan receipts. Due to the weakening of
sterling during April, options purchased to hedge Euro receipts
were 'in the money' at 30 April 2010, protecting the value of the
company's future receipts to the extent of approximately
£1.2million.
Claim against KSFUK
Negotiations continue with the Administrators of KSFUK regarding
the agreement of our claim. The amount of £205million has currently
been agreed, however, we are in discussions in order to agree a
higher amount.
The Administrators of KSFUK have so far paid us three
distributions totalling £71,750,000, being 35% of the agreed
portion of our claim. They have also indicated their intention to
pay a fourth distribution in July 2010 of not less than 5%. If we
are able to agree our claim at a higher amount, we will receive a
catch up payment for the balance.
Next distribution
After 31 May, funds which we have had to retain following the
sale of shares last year become unrestricted. In early June, we
will review the cash position with a view to declaring a third
distribution for unsecured creditors, to be paid in early July. We
anticipate the distribution will be at least 10%, however the exact
amount will depend upon the level of cash receipts during the
intervening period.
