27 July 2015
 

The Tanfield Group Plc

 

("Tanfield", or "the Company")

 

Interim Results for the six-month period to 30 June 2015

 

Tanfield Group Plc, an investing company as defined by AIM Rules, announces its half year results for the period ending 30 June 2015. The unaudited financial statements are available on the Company website at www.tanfieldgroup.com.

 

Background

 

The Company is currently defined as an investing company that has two passive investments. This status resulted from the disposal of Smith Electric Vehicles in 2010 and the disposal of Snorkel Europe Limited in October 2013. Tanfield Group Plc currently owns 5.76% of Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. ("Smith") and 49% of Snorkel International Holdings LLC ("Snorkel").

 

The strategy of the Company in relation to these investments is to return as much as possible of any realised value to shareholders as events occur and circumstances allow, subject to compliance with any legal requirements associated with such distributions.

 

Summary

· Aggregate current estimated value of holdings £46.9m ($73.1m), equivalent to approximately 33p per share, a 61% premium to the current market value of the Company*.

· Aggregate valuation comprises;

o Snorkel holding £38.5m ($60.1m) equivalent to approximately 27p per share. The holding value of $60.1m has been converted at the current exchange rate and compares to a sterling holding value of £36.3m on the balance sheet based on the exchange rate at the date of receipt of the holding.

o Smith estimated holding value of £6.9m ($10.7m) based on the the most recent valuation at which Smith received funds , as well as £1.5m ($2.3m) in the joint venture, totalling £8.4m ($13.0) equivalent to approximately 6p per share The book value of the Smith holding on the balance sheet is £4.8m

· The aggregated book value of investments in the balance sheet is £41.1m equivalent to a value per share of 28.5 p

· The net book value of the Company is £39.6m equivalent to 27.5p per share

 

*based on the closing mid-price of the Company's shares on 24 July 2015

 

Overview of investments

 

Snorkel continues to develop its business as announced in the Company's final results announcement of 22 June 2015 with an increasing demand for its products in a competitive market. Smith are making progress towards achieving their plans to publicly list the business and raising funds to allow for the execution of its strategy.

1 Basis of preparation

The Interim Report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 has been prepared in accordance with AIM Rule 18 and not in accordance with IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting" therefore is not fully in compliance with IFRS.

 

The half year report does not constitute financial statements as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and does not include all of the information and disclosures required for full annual statements. It should be read in conjunction with the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 which is available on request from the Company's registered office, Sandgate House, 102 Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 3DX or can be downloaded from the corporate website www.tanfieldgroup.com.

 

 

2 Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, as described in those financial statements. In particular, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, and as set out on page 17 of those financial statements.

aIAS33 defines dilution as a reduction in earnings per share or an increase in loss per share resulting from the assumption that options are exercised. As the potential dilutive ordinary shares from share options reduce the loss per share these shares are omitted from the dilutive loss per share calculation in June 2014 and June 2015.
