Leed Resources PLC

("Leed" or the "Company")

Half-yearly report for the six months ended 31 December 2011

Chairman's statement

As shareholders will be aware, Leed underwent a corporate reconstruction immediately prior to the period under review, following which a new equity fundraising of £2.435 million took place. The Board was substantially changed and the Company was reconstituted into an investing company.

Since then, as announced last September, Leed has made a significant investment in Manas Coal Limited Liability Company of £957,000, comprised of a cash investment of £750,000 and the issue of 166,666,667 new shares together with warrants to subscribe at 0.15p for up to 166,666,667 shares in Leed giving Leed a 17.5% stake in Manas. Manas now holds a licence for exploration for coal in the Eastern Kokkia region of the Kyrgyz Republic in an area which, based on information held by the Kyrgyz government, is thought to contain significant coal reserves. Fuller details were announced at the time and the transaction was also described in Leed's Report and Accounts for the period ended 30 June 2011.

Since then, Manas has carried out initial work on the ground to establish the extent and viability of the Eastern Kokkia deposit. A Kyrgyz firm of exploration consultants has been commissioned and has carried out initial prospecting and evaluation works for coal within the licensed area, including trench sampling and other associated work over part of the licensed area. They are in process of appointing new consultants to continue this work in 2012 when weather conditions permit and they have commissioned a well-established engineering consultancy firm to take matters forward; they plan to be able to produce a CPR on the project in 2012.

At the same time, Leed has continued to explore and review a range of possible investment opportunities in coal, oil and gas and other minerals.

In the meantime, the Company has changed its name to Leed Resources plc to reflect the wider area of activities in which it has or is likely to invest and we have welcomed Nicholas Lee to the Board to give us a broader range of corporate skills and experience to call upon. Nicholas is a corporate financier of over twenty years standing and is a director of a number of other AIM companies, including Viridas plc.

for the six months ended 31 December 2011

1. General information

Leed Resources PLC is a company domiciled in the United Kingdom. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the Company are for the six months ended 31 December 2011. They comprise only the Company's operations for the period whereas the interim financial statements for the 6 months to 31 December 2010 and the audited statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2011 were prepared on a consolidated basis. The Company disposed of its subsidiary during the prior year and therefore the comparative amounts now only include the operations of the Company and not the former consolidated figures. The investment in the subsidiary had been written off at the time of the disposal.

Details of the disposal of the subsidiary can be found in note 9 "Discontinued operations" of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2011, available on the company's website, www.leedresourcesplc.com.

These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union and do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. This condensed set of financial statements has been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Company's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011, except where noted below.

Change in accounting policy

The Company's functional and presentational currency in the prior period was the US dollar but following the disposal of its US subsidiary the functional and presentational currency has been changed to Pound Sterling. As this represents a change in accounting policy the comparative periods have been restated in Pound Sterling. The exchange rates used for the restatement of the financial periods ended 30 June 2011, 31 December 2010 and 30 June 2011 were $1.60135, $1.55237 and $1.50113 respectively.

The comparative statement of financial position at the financial year ended 30 June 2011 has been extracted from the Company's statutory accounts which have been reported on by the Company's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. As those financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis no income statement for the Company was included. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement under the Companies Act 2006 regarding matters which are required to be noted by exception.

The financial information for the period ended and as at 31 December 2010 was not prepared on a going concern basis and did not differentiate between continuing and discontinued operations as were disclosed in the annual accounts to 30 June 2011. In order to disclose relevant comparative information in respect of the six months to 31 December 2010 for the purposes of this interim statement the expenses attributable to continuing operations has been estimated by pro rating the expenses attributable to continuing operations as disclosed in the accounts for the full year to 30 June 2011.

2. Issued capital

A recap of issued capital follows:

On 22 June 2011 the shareholders approved a resolution to reorganise the issued share capital of the Company with the effect that for every ten existing ordinary shares of 5 pence each one new ordinary share of 0.1 pence each and one deferred share of 49.9 pence each were issued. The restricted rights attaching to the deferred shares are such that the deferred shares have no economic value.

Also on 22 June 2011, 2,435,000,000 new shares of 0.1 pence each were issued at par on conversion of loan notes totalling £2,435,000.
