• Keybridge’s banks have agreed to extend its debt facility
• Company continues to realise investments and repay debt
• Strong Australian Dollar adds to foreign currency losses

Debt Facility

The outstanding principal amount under Keybridge's corporate debt facility is approximately $102 million. The Company’s banks have agreed to extend the maturity date of this facility from June 2011 to June 2012. Key terms for the extension are outlined in Attachment 1. In summary, they are as follows:

• The facility is to be fully denominated in US Dollars, compared with the current position whereby approximately 78% is denominated in US Dollars and 22% in Australian Dollars.
• Minimum principal repayments of $12.5 million are required in the period from 31 December 2010 to 2 December 2011.
• The borrowing margin continues to be 3.75% per annum.
• The additional fee of 1.75% per annum which has been accruing under the facility on top of the margin is to be reduced from the time that these changes are documented to a maximum of 1.50% per annum. New accruals of this fee will be reduced further if the Company achieves certain repayment levels above the minimum requirement of $12.5 million. If repayments to the banks of $20.0 million are achieved in the period from 31 December 2010 to 2 December 2011, the additional fee will be zero from the time that these changes are documented.

It is anticipated that documentation for the new facility terms should be completed by the end of April 2011.

Investments Portfolio

Keybridge Capital is not currently undertaking new investments. It is managing its existing portfolio with the aim of bringing forward repayments, so as to reduce the Company's level of debt. Where this is not practicable, the Company is seeking to protect the value of its investments as much as possible.

As a result of repayments and movements in foreign exchange rates, the composition by asset class of Keybridge's investments portfolio as at the date of this report is approximately as follows:

Since 31 December 2010, Keybridge has made repayments under its debt facility of approximately $8 million. This amount will contribute towards satisfying the minimum repayment obligation now required to be achieved by 2 December 2011.

These repayments were facilitated, in the main, by realisations from Keybridge’s Lending transactions, which were achieved at levels at or above the Company's carrying values.

Most investments are performing as anticipated at the last balance date of 31 December 2010. An exception would be the shipping asset class, which continues to underperform, with the demand for vessels in certain sectors failing to keep pace with the number of new ships being built.

Cashflow

Keybridge currently has approximately $6 million of cash-on-hand. There is a shortfall between the Company’s operating income and its fixed commitments of bank interest and operating costs. This shortfall has been more than accommodated up until now from cashflow raised from the realisation of investments. We anticipate this will continue to be the case over the next 12 months.

Currency Exposure

The approximate currency breakdown of the Company’s assets and liabilities is as follows:

This net foreign currency asset position means that the Company incurs translation losses when the Australian Dollar appreciates in value against the US Dollar and Euro. Over the past three months, the Australian Dollar has continued to increase in value against the US Dollar, resulting in unrealised foreign currency losses for the Company.

Following the extension of the banking facility, all of the Company’s borrowings will be denominated in US Dollars. This will switch approximately $22 million of the Company’s liabilities from Australian Dollars to US Dollars, which will reduce Keybridge’s exposure to movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate. It will, however, crystallise a portion of the unrealised foreign exchange losses that will have been accrued up until then.
