Dear Birgit,
Welcome to the September/October 2021 edition of the Funding Strategies newsletter! |
The “big themes” over the past month have been around the
vaccine rollout, border openings, the hot property market and international
crisis around energy (UK and China) and geopolitical tensions in Asia regarding
China and Taiwan, eg. Australia joining the newly formed AUKUS alliance.
On the vaccine front, rollouts have been uneven both within
Australia and within OECD countries - Australia at 45.63% and Portugal at 85.21% (% of
population fully vaccinated) for example. Different States in Australia
have been experiencing differing economic conditions and the lockdowns have
been affecting our confidence. We have recently seen a slight improvement
in business confidence albeit off a low base, and an increase in consumer confidence.
Two of our major cities have been in lockdown. One assumes that both
these confidence indicators will see noticeable improvements ahead as the economy
opens up and we start to live with the “new COVID normal”.
From an investor point-of-view we have seen some great
opportunities both on the yield and growth fronts. We are also continuing
to attract interesting companies to work with, whether that is on the corporate
advisory and M&A (we have been doing more buy side work, where we act
for the buyer), strategy, or helping with finance or working capital.

Wildfire Energy Update
Wildfire Energy awarded $1m grant to convert farm crop residues into green hydrogen |
|
|
|
"Wildfire Energy (Project Ignis) is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources to convert farm crop residues into green hydrogen using its MIHG technology. The grant is awarded as part of the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII) Proof of Concept stage and follows the successful completion of the Feasibility Study stage earlier this year.
Wildfire will continue to work with the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC) and CSIRO to demonstrate the conversion of farm crop residues, such as wheat straw, into green hydrogen which is suitable for ammonia synthesis and for use in fuel cell vehicles. The project will progress the concept of using our MIHG technology to realise a circular economy on the farm. |

SpatialHub Update
Intelligent Farming for Drought Resilience |
"There is a critical gap in the market for dedicated geo-spatial information on drought conditions and the way it is conveyed and analysed. Spatial Hub Analytics (SHA, Project Topia) is in a unique position to fill this gap, being one of only a few companies in the world able to standardise complex multi-format satellite data into easy-to-understand drought information.
A drought resilience product is still in its early development stage – but we plan to roll it out over the next 12 months as part of the company’s participation in the Australian government’s 3-year regional Drought Hubs initiative.
The benefit of such a product for end users is significant. The agricultural industry contributes a substantial share to Australia’s GDP and export earnings. Climate change, including severe and prolonged droughts, poses a huge challenge to the health and sustainability of the industry."

Access Investing Limited Update
Access Investing has extended it prospectus offer until late October to give more time for investors
|
Access Investing's Brett Tucker (pictured left) has provided the following update:
“The Access Investing team
believes all knowledgeable investors should have access to the same company
investing opportunities, particularly private companies on a ASX listing
pathway which are currently limited to a small group of wealthy and
well-connected professionals.
We are the first of our kind in
the market to provide equal access to pre-IPO company investments - which have
the potential to generate outsized returns when they list on the ASX.
We have extended our prospectus
offer to give more time for investors to learn about us and apply, and are now
aiming to close our offer in late October. We then look forward to the next
step in securing investments in high-growth private companies on behalf of our
investors.” |

Drillman Update
"M-Group on look-out for acquisitions ahead of IPO in 18-24 months - director
|
BlueMount
Capital client Drillman, a subsidiary of M-Group, recently featured in a Mergermarket article:
"M-Group of Companies, a Brisbane-based
Australian group providing integrated product and service solutions for the
construction, mining, and infrastructure sectors, is on the look-out for
acquisitions as it gears for a listing in 18-24 months to support global
growth, said Director and sole owner Mike Wilkes.
The group, which is working with Brisbane-based investment banking corporate
advisor BlueMount Capital on acquisitions and funding, is yet to flesh out
details for the listing including financials and potential pre-IPO raises,
Wilkes said. The listing is most likely to take place on the ASX in Australia,
but the US and Canada are also options, he added."
