2022 Observations

  • First 6 months of 2022 saw war in Ukraine continue to negatively impact Global economic growth
  • Flow of Russian energy continued to decline causing EU shortages, and a massive increase in European gas prices
  • Global borrowing in 2021 grew to $303 trillion, and keeps growing
  • Companies around the World issued $4.4 trillion of bonds in 2020, and continued through 2021
  • In 2020 Global Government indebtedness was at its highest level since Post-World War I 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Due to Central Bank Intervention, which has kept interest rates low, cost of debt since 2005 when debt/US GDP was
    85% vs 140% today, means that interest cost has declined from 2% of GDP to 1.5% of GDP today
  • In an adverse scenario where U.S. borrowing costs rise 2 percentage points above current market expectations, the
    price tag to USA’s debt would jump from 2% of GDP in 2020 to nearly 6% of GDP in 2030. In Italy, costs could  hit
    5.5% of GDP—higher than during the European sovereign debt crisis
  • 2022 also saw the worst start to a year for stocks in more than half a century
  • At the halfway point of the year, the tech-heavy NASDAQ had  fallen by 30%, whilst the S&P was down by over  20%.
    Since the 16 June 2022, when the NASDAQ bottomed, it has risen ~18.8%, whilst the S&P has risen ~12.9%...which we
    believe is unsustainable and a bear market rally that will reverse again
  • The next crisis will not be like  its predecessors. In the 1970s, we  had stagflation but no massive debt  crises
    because debt levels were low. After 2008, we had a debt crisis followed by low inflation or deflation because the
    credit crunch had generated a  negative demand shock. Today,  we face supply shocks in  a context of much  higher
    debt levels, implying  that, in our  opinion, we  are heading for  a combination of  1970s-style stagflation  and
    2008-style debt crises – that is, a stagflationary debt crisis.

Chairman’s Statement

 

Trading update

The Company's hedging strategy has served  THAL shareholders well during  the first half of  the year and whilst  our
long-quoted-holdings suffered, in some cases  substantial declines, these were largely  offset by gains in our  hedge
positions.   

We covered most  hedge positions  shortly before  the mid-June market  bottom and  subsequent rally,  but have  since
repositioned, and increased our hedge exposure, after what we perceive to have been a ‘dead cat’ bounce. 

Market Action

Shareholders who read my Statement  in the Company’s recently  released 2021 Annual Report will  know that I had  for
some time anticipated a major market correction, which was, in my opinion, long overdue. 

Global Technology stocks took the  full brunt of the 2022  correction on the chin, which  has seen Cathie Woods’  ARK
Innovation ETF give back virtually  all its ~383% gain, and  which is now down ~74%  since peaking in December  2021.
Many of ARK’s investments had no earnings (with no prospect of sustainable earnings) or were trading on triple  digit
p/e multiples. Many  of the  major stock  market indices  have performed badly  but not  as badly  as the  investment
vehicles with substantial  exposure to “Story  Stocks”. At  the time of  writing, the  Dow Jones Index  is down  Year
to Date (“YTD”) 15.29%, the S&P 500  is down 13% and the NASDAQ  Index is down 19%. whilst European Indices are  down
YTD between ~7% and ~22%.

Macro Outlook

Your Board is of the opinion that the Market’s recent rally is unsustainable, and take the view that there is another
leg down in US and EU (incl. UK) stock prices,  which will be driven by earnings’ misses and subsequent reduction  in
overly optimistic earnings estimates for 2022, 2023 and 2024. 

Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg are still estimating that S&P 500 earnings will increase from current level of

199.67 to 235.78, an  increase of 18.08%,  in 2022, by +5.22%  in 2023, and  by +9.02% in 2024.  Given the fact  that
inflation is currently running at record levels, and our view that Central Bankers could well tighten too much,  just
as Western economies grind to a standstill, we believe that  analysts will rapidly start to reduce their 2022 Q3  and
Q4, as well as 2023 and 2024 earnings estimates when they get back from their summer holidays.

ARL - https://autonomousroboticsltd.com/

  • Focus on further continued development of Flying Node towards commercialisation with significant progress made in
    software development.
  • Offshore trials scheduled for the second half of 2022.
  • Advanced sales process aborted due to potential buyer itself being acquired

Conclusion

We anticipate a further correction to Western Stock Markets, and remain cautious on the macro-economic outlook, which
we believe could deteriorate significantly this Winter.

Financial Review

 

Continuing Operations

Total revenue from operations for the period to 30 June 2022 was £0.1m (1H21: £0.1m).

Net financial income from investment operations was £0.56m (1H21: £0.21m),

Cost of Sales was a credit of nil (1H21 : £0.18m) comprising development costs (net of capitalised costs) at ARL,
resulting in a Gross Profit of £0.68m (1H21: gross profit £0.51m).

Administration expenses were £0.33m (1H21: £1.25m).  Depreciation costs were £0.15m (1H21: £0.06m).

Operating Profit was therefore £0.35m (1H21 Loss: (£0.75)m).

Profit before tax was £0.2m (1H21 loss: (£0.8m)).

Net assets at 30 June 2022 amounted to £11.9m (1H21: £10.5m). The increase in net assets primarily due to the sale of
id4 to Anemoi International Ltd in 2021.

Net cash (being cash balances less borrowings) was £0.8m as at 30 June 2022 (1H21: £1.4m).

Net cash inflow from operating activities amounted to £0.18m compared to an outflow of £1.85m in 1H21.

Net cash outflow from investing activities amounted to £0.26m, which related to the purchase of portfolio securities
and R&D in ARL, compared to 1H21 of £0.47m.

Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to £3.89m (1H21: inflow £1.29m). This relates to the settlement
of the short position on USD, which resulted in a gain of £0.3m.
