Chairman's Statement
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the final
results for PME African Infrastructure Opportunities plc ("PME" or
the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries the "Group") for
the year ended 31 December 2014.
The Company's investing policy is to seek to realise the
remaining assets of the Company and to return both existing cash
reserves and the proceeds of realisation of the remaining assets to
shareholders.
The Company held an extraordinary general meeting on 11 August
2014 to consider an alternative to the above investing policy. The
resolutions put to the meeting were not passed. Accordingly, the
Directors of the Company again focused on the task of selling the
Company's remaining assets and returning the net proceeds to
shareholders.
As reported on 29 April 2015, the Group agreed the sale of seven
locomotives and 100% of the Company's interests in PME RSACO
(Mauritius) Limited ("RSACO"), the Group entity which holds the
Group's 50% interest in Sheltam Holdings (Pty) Limited ("Sheltam
Holdings"), for an aggregate cash consideration of US$11.5 million
(the "Sale Transaction"). The Group has also entered into an option
agreement in respect of the remaining three locomotives that it
continues to own (together with the Sale Transaction, the
"Transaction"). The Sale Transaction completed on 5 May 2015.
Investments
Following the completion of the Sale Transaction after the year
end, disposing of the majority of its rail assets, the Company's
remaining assets are three locomotives and the benefit of the
remaining 23 years of a 30 year lease of commercial premises in
Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania (the "Dar-es-Salaam property"). The cash
consideration from the Transaction has been used to determine the
fair value of the Company's investments in rail assets but the
transaction costs are not reflected in the financial statements, as
IFRS does not permit transaction costs to be included in the fair
value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss.
The Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary PME Locomotives
(Mauritius) Limited ("PME Locomotives") continues to own three C30
locomotives. PME Locomotives has a put option (the "Option")
requiring RSACO, which following the Sale Transaction is no longer
part of the Group, to purchase all or any one or more of the three
locomotives for a cash consideration of US$1,416,666 per locomotive
at any point during a 90 day period commencing 18 months following
the completion of the Sale Transaction (the "Option Period").
During the Option Period, RSACO shall use its reasonable
endeavours to secure for the Group third party buyers, on a
non-exclusive basis, for all or any one or more of the three
locomotives still owned by the Group. In consideration for this,
PME Locomotives will pay to RSACO a sum equal to 50% of the amount
by which any third party cash purchase price exceeds a hurdle of
US$1,500,000 per locomotive.
If the Option is exercised by PME Locomotives in respect of all
of the locomotives, the aggregate consideration payable to PME and
PME Locomotives under the Transaction would be US$15.75 million -
being the US$11.5 million paid under the Sale Transaction, already
received, and a further US$4.25 million from exercise of the
Option.
The Dar-es-Salaam property, which is managed by a local managing
agent, is fully let and the investment continues to trade
profitably. In March 2013 the current owners of Dovetel (T) Limited
("Dovetel") (the Company's former telecommunication interest in
Tanzania) registered a caveat over the property requiring their
consent for any sale of the property.
Dovetel partially occupies the Dar-es-Salaam property as a
tenant but is in arrears for rent. PME continues to pursue its
options regarding the eviction of Dovetel for non-payment of the
rent. In addition, PME continues to pursue a process through the
courts to wind up Dovetel, although this will only be heard once an
appeal against Dovetel being placed into administration has been
heard. PME's legal advisers have attended a number of court status
hearings in relation to the appeal, but little progress has been
made due to changes in court personnel, scheduling of hearing dates
and the difficulty in getting all parties to meet on the appointed
date.
PME's legal representatives are reviewing the files from the
latest status reports and will then consider the options available
to the Company. The options will be discussed with the Directors in
the near future. There is a further status hearing scheduled for
June 2015. It is anticipated that it will be several months before
any clear path forward in the court process is identified.
In addition to reviewing the legal status, the Directors
continue to monitor the operational performance and any capital
expenditure requirements needed to maintain the building in good
condition. A sale of the Dar-es-Salaam property is likely to occur
only when the current legal process with Dovetel is resolved.
Financial Results
The basis of preparation of the financial statements now
reflects the changes for "investment entities" introduced by IFRS
10. A more detailed explanation is given in note 2.1 to the
accounts. The results now reflect the Company's position with all
subsidiaries reflected at fair value.
The loss for the year to 31 December 2014 was US$16.6 million
(2013: profit of US$2.6 million), representing a loss per ordinary
share of US$0.2169 (2013: profit per share US$0.0262).
The Directors have considered the implications of the
Transaction and other current circumstances in their valuation of
assets and are of the opinion that the rail asset investments and
the Dar-es-Salaam property investment are reflected in the balance
sheet at realistic fair values. The losses in the year to 31
December 2014 include losses of US$17.5 million arising in relation
to the realised value of the rail assets.
As at 31 December 2014, PME's Net Asset Value attributable to
ordinary shareholders in accordance with IFRS was US$18.3 million
(US$0.24 per share), compared to the US$35 million (US$0.46 per
share) that was reported as at 31 December 2013.
Return of Cash and Outlook
It is the Directors' intention to carry out a tender offer
process to buy back shares from shareholders (the "Tender Offer")
once the six month warranty period in respect of the Sale
Transaction is completed. It is hoped that proposals will be put to
shareholders for their approval to enable the Tender Offer to be
effected during the 2015 calendar year.
The Company has repaid the working capital loan with Helvetica
Deutschland GmbH from the proceeds of the Sale Transaction and have
settled other liabilities. The Directors have also estimated the
cash required to be retained for working capital payments. It is
estimated that there will be net cash available of approximately
US$8 million to fund the Tender Offer proposal.
Dependent on the timing and quantum of the future asset
realisations, the Company expects to consider further tender offers
in the future. The Option on the three locomotives should produce
cash of a minimum of US$4.25 million by the end of 2016. It is
difficult to assess when the building in Dar-es-Salaam will be sold
but the Board will focus its efforts on disposing of this
asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 General Information
PME African Infrastructure Opportunities plc (the "Company") was
incorporated and is registered and domiciled in the Isle of Man
under the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 on 19 June 2007
as a public limited company with registered number 120060C. The
investment objective of PME African Infrastructure Opportunities
plc and its subsidiaries (the "Group") was to achieve significant
total return to investors through investing in various
infrastructure projects and related opportunities across a range of
countries in sub-Saharan Africa. On 19 October 2012 the
shareholders approved the revision of the Company's Investing
Policy which is now to realise the remaining assets of the Company
and to return both existing cash reserves and the proceeds of
realisation of the remaining assets to shareholders.
The Company's investment activities were managed by PME
Infrastructure Managers Limited (the "Investment Manager") to 6
July 2012. No alternate has been appointed therefore the Board of
Directors has assumed responsibility for the management of the
Company's remaining assets. The Company's administration is
delegated to Galileo Fund Services Limited (the "Administrator").
The registered office of the Company is Millennium House, 46 Athol
Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1JB.
Pursuant to its AIM admission document dated 6 July 2007, there
was an original placing of up to 180,450,000 Ordinary Shares with
Warrants attached on the basis of 1 Warrant for every 5 Ordinary
Shares. Following the close of the placing on 12 July 2007,
180,450,000 Shares and 36,090,000 Warrants were issued. The
Warrants lapsed in July 2012. The Shares of the Company were
admitted to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange,
on 12 July 2007 when dealings also commenced.
Adoption of "investment entities" amendment to IFRS 10
'Consolidated financial statements'
The Company's financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2014 reflect the first time adoption of IFRS 10. See note
2.1 and note 20 for further information on the change from
consolidated financial statements to separate financial statements,
accounting for the subsidiaries as financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss and the restatement of the comparatives for
the year ended 31 December 2013.
Financial year end
The financial year end for the Company is 31 December in each
year.
Dividends
In the year to 31 December 2014 the Company declared and paid
dividends of US$nil (2013: US$nil). A tender offer took place in
December 2013. Up to 26,639,797 shares were offered at a price of
US$0.28 per share. A total of 25,706,863 shares were validly
tendered and were cancelled upon acquisition.
Going concern
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, the
Directors have taken into account the status of current
negotiations on the realisation of the remaining assets. The
Directors consider that following the Sale Transaction (note 21)
the Group has sufficient funds for its ongoing operations and
therefore have continued to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the financial statements are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise
stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by
the European Union. The financial statements have been prepared
under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss, and the requirements of the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931
to 2004. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
IFRS requires the use of accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the
Company's accounting policies.
a) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
IFRS 10, 'Consolidated financial statements', and IFRS 12,
'Disclosure of interests in other entities' were issued in May
2011. The subsequent 'Investment entities' amendment to these and
other standards provides a limited scope exception from
consolidation of investments in subsidiaries for parent companies
that qualify as "investment entities". These standards, including
their amendments, are applicable for periods beginning on or after
1 January 2014.
In accordance with the above, the Directors have concluded that
the Company falls under the definition of an investment entity
because the Company has the following characteristics:
-- the Company has obtained funds for the purpose of providing
investors with investment management services;
-- the Company's Investing Policy, which was communicated
directly to investors, is investment solely for returns from
capital appreciation and investment income; and
-- the performance of investments is measured and evaluated on a fair value basis.
As a result, the Company no longer consolidates its
subsidiaries, instead it is required to account for these
subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance
with IAS 39, 'Financial instruments: recognition and measurement'
and prepares separate company financial statements only.
Subsidiaries that were historically recorded at their
consolidated net asset value in the consolidated balance sheet (or
cost less impairment in the parent company balance sheet) are now
being accounted for as financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss. Changes in fair value are accounted for through the
net changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss. As part of the restatement the translation reserves
of those subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies in the
consolidated balance sheet have been released to retained earnings.
The adjustments made to each financial statement line item for the
comparative period as a result of the change in the accounting
policy are shown in note 20.
In accordance with the transitional provisions of the
amendments, the Company has applied the new accounting policy
retrospectively and restated the comparative information for the
year ended 31 December 2013. If an investment entity disposed of,
or lost control of an investment in a subsidiary before the date of
adoption of IFRS10, the investment entity is not required to make
adjustments to the previous accounting policy for that subsidiary.
Therefore investments which were disposed of before 1 January 2013,
remain as previously stated in the comparatives.
b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing
standards relevant to the Company, that are not yet effective and
have not been early adopted by the Company
IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments', was issued November 2009 and
October 2010. This standard is the first step in the process to
replace IAS 39, 'Financial instruments: recognition and
measurement'. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement
model and establishes two primary categories for financial assets:
amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends
on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset. For financial liabilities,
IFRS 9 retains most of the IAS 39 requirements, but in cases where
the fair value option is taken, the part of a fair value change in
a financial liability due to an entity's own credit risk is
recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income
statement (unless this creates an accounting mismatch). The
standard is not applicable until 1 January 2018 but is available
for early adoption. However, the standard has not yet been endorsed
by the EU. The Company is yet to assess IFRS 9's full impact.
2.2 Critical accounting estimates
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the
future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year are in relation to the financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss, see notes 2.6 and 11.
2.3 Foreign currency translation
a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial
statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Company's
functional and presentation currency.
b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement
of comprehensive income.
2.4 Revenue and expense recognition
Interest income is recognised in the financial statements on a
time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method.
Interest expense for borrowings is recognised in the financial
statements using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment
is established.
Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.
2.5 Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker is the person or group that
allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the
operating segments of an entity. The chief operating
decision-makers have been identified as the Board of Directors.
2.6 Financial assets and financial liabilities
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following
categories: at fair value through profit or loss, and loans and
receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the
classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
The Company designates its investments, including equity,
related loans and similar instruments (note 11), as at fair value
through profit or loss on initial recognition if they are not
classified as held for trading but are managed, and their
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with
the Company's Investing Policy. Such investments are initially
recorded at fair value, and transaction costs for all financial
assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through
profit and loss are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses arising
from changes in the fair value of financial assets, including
foreign exchange movements, are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities
greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are
classified as non-current assets. The Company's loans and
receivables comprise 'trade and other receivables' and 'cash at
bank' in the balance sheet (notes 12 and 13). Loans and receivables
are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision
for impairment. A provision for impairment is established when
there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to
collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities in the
following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and
other liabilities. At 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Company did not
have any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss. Other liabilities are loans and trade creditors which are
included in 'secured loan' and 'trade and other payables' in the
balance sheet (notes 16 and 17).
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the
trade date, being the date on which the Company commits to purchase
or sell the investment. Financial assets are derecognised when the
rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or
the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of
financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active
market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses a
variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market
conditions existing at each reporting date. Valuation techniques
used include the use of comparable recent or proposed arm's length
transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation
techniques commonly used by market participants.
2.7 Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially stated at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less impairment.
A provision for impairment is established when there is
objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all
amounts to be received. Significant financial difficulties of the
counterparty, probability that the counterparty will enter
bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default in payments are
considered indicators that the amount to be received is impaired.
Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has
been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest
income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount
the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment
loss.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash deposited with banks
held with original maturities of less than three months.
2.9 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value
and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
2.10 Share capital
Ordinary Shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.11 Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the year in which
they are declared and approved.
3 Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial
risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The financial risks
relate to the following financial instruments: financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, cash and
cash equivalents, secured loan and trade and other payables. The
accounting policies with respect to these financial instruments are
described in Note 2.
Risk management is carried out by the executive Directors.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of financial
instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange
rates. The Company's operations are conducted in jurisdictions
which generate revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities in
currencies other than US Dollars. As a result, the Company is
subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect
to these currencies. The currencies giving rise to this risk are
South African Rand, Euro and Pound Sterling.
The Company's policy is not to enter into any currency hedging
transactions.
The table below summarises the Company's exposure to foreign
currency risk:

At 31 December 2014, had the US Dollar strengthened by 6% (2013:
strengthened by 1%) in relation to South African Rand, Euro and
Pound Sterling, with all other variables held constant, the
shareholders' equity would have increased/(decreased) by the

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial
instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk from
the cash held in interest bearing accounts at floating rates or
short term deposits of one month or less. The secured loan is at a
fixed rate of interest. The Board of Directors monitor and review
the interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and act
accordingly.
During the year ended 31 December 2014 should interest rates
have decreased by 10 basis points, with all other variables held
constant, the shareholders' equity and the result for the year
would have been US$nil (2013: 10 basis points US$3,000) lower.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial
instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that
it has entered into with the Company.
The carrying amounts of financial assets best represent the
maximum credit risk exposure at the balance sheet date. This
relates also to financial assets carried at amortised cost. Any
change in credit quality of financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss is reflected in the fair value of the asset.
At the reporting date, the Company's financial assets exposed to
credit risk amounted to the following:
31 December 2014 31 December 2013 (restated)
US$'000 US$'000
------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ----------------------------

Trade and other receivables 11 -
Cash and cash equivalents 144 1,587
19,715 35,152
------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ----------------------------
The Company manages its credit risk by monitoring the
creditworthiness of counterparties regularly. Cash transactions and
balances are limited to high-credit-quality financial institutions
(at least an Aa2 credit rating).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to
meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company currently
manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash. The
Company and the Group's liquidity positions are monitored by the
Board of Directors.
The residual undiscounted contractual maturities of financial

Capital risk management
The Company's primary objective when managing its capital base
was to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern in order to realise the remaining assets of the Company at

Company and to return both existing cash reserves and the proceeds
of realisation of the remaining assets to shareholders.

processes in respect of capital management during the years ended

observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level
3).
The fair values of all financial assets and fair value through
profit or loss are determined using valuation techniques using
significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the fair values are
classified as level 3. There were no transfers between levels
during the year. The key inputs and most significant unobservable
inputs are shown below.

19 Related Party Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the
ability to control the other party or to exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial or operational
decisions. Key management is made up of the Board of Directors.
The Directors of the Company are considered to be related
parties by virtue of their influence over making operational
decisions. Directors' remuneration is disclosed in note 6 and the
related party loan is disclosed in note 16.
20 Comparative Balances
In accordance with IFRS 10, 'Consolidated financial statements',
the Directors have concluded that the Company meets the definition
of an investment entity and therefore no longer consolidates its
subsidiaries, instead it is required to account for these
subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance
with IAS 39 and prepares separate financial statements only.
Subsidiaries that were historically recorded at their
consolidated net asset value in the consolidated balance sheet (or
cost less impairment in the parent company balance sheet) are now
being accounted for as financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss. Changes in fair value are accounted for through the
net changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss. As part of the restatement the translation reserves
of those subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies in the
consolidated balance sheet has been released to retained earnings.
The US$2,820,000 increase in total equity in the parent company
balance sheet at 1 January 2013 reflects the change in accounting
policy from accounting for subsidiaries at cost less impairment in
the parent company balance sheet to accounting for them as
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. There was no
change in total equity from the previously reported consolidated
balance sheet at 1 January 2013. The adjustments made to each
financial statement line item for the comparative period as a
result of this change in the accounting policy are shown below.

21 Post Balance Sheet Events
On 17 April 2015 the Company entered into an agreement to sell
the majority of the Group's rail assets for an aggregate cash
consideration of US$11.5 million (the "Sale Transaction") and also
entered into an option agreement in respect of the Company's
remaining rail assets (together with the Sale Transaction, the
"Transaction").
The sale includes the Company's interest in the share capital of
PME RSACO (Mauritius) Limited, together with certain intercompany
loans and seven of the ten C30 locomotives under the finance lease
held by PME Locomotives (Mauritius) Limited. The Group will
continue to own the remaining three C30 locomotives but has been
granted a put option for US$1 requiring the buyer to purchase one
or more of the remaining locomotives for US$1,416,666 per
locomotive at any point during a 90 day period commencing 18 months
following the completion of the disposal.
All conditions of the disposal were met by the end of April 2015
and as a result the Sale Transaction completed on 5 May 2015.
The costs of the disposal are estimated at US$635,000 and were
incurred by the Company on completion. They are not reflected in
the Company's position at 31 December 2014 as IFRS does not permit
the transaction costs to be included in the fair value of the
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The acquirer of the rail assets was PCF Investments (BVI)
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Capital Investments
Limited and a member of the same group of companies as PUG
Investments Limited - the Company's 10.83% shareholder. As a result
of PUG Investments Limited's shareholding in the Company, the
Transaction was a related party transaction. As stated in the
announcement issued by the Company on 17 April 2015, the Directors
consider, having consulted with Smith & Williamson Corporate
Finance Limited in its capacity as the Company's nominated adviser,
that the terms of the Transaction are fair and reasonable insofar
as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
