Β 

Interim Results for the six-month period to 30 June 2016

Β 

Tanfield Group Plc, an investing company as defined by AIM Rules, announces its half year results for the period ending 30 June 2016. The unaudited financial statements are available on the Company website atΒ www.tanfieldgroup.com.

Β 

Background

Β 

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 49% of Snorkel International Holdings LLC ("Snorkel") and 5.76% of Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. ("Smith").

Β 

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.

Β 

Summary

Β· Further sales growth achieved by Snorkel in the first six months of the year, up by more than 25% compared to H1 2015.

Β· Smith Electric continues to seek funding.

Β· Balance Sheet investment values:

o Snorkel Β£36.3m ($60.1m) based on the exchange rate at the date of receipt of the holding equivalent to 23.6p per share. This compares to Β£46m based on the current exchange rate, equivalent to 29.9p per share.

o Smith Electric continues to be held at a nil balance sheet value following the impairment of the investment at the end of 2015.

Β· The net book value of the Company is Β£36.4m equivalent to 23.7p per share.

Β 

Β 

Overview of investments

Β 

During the first six months of 2016, Snorkel achieved sales growth in excess of 25% compared to the same period in 2015 which resulted in $70m of sales for the period. The Board feels encouraged by the additional sales which have been achieved and is not aware of any reason why, with the ongoing efforts to further improve the product offering and customer experience, along with the continued commitment to Snorkel by the 51% beneficial owner, this trend should not continue.

Β 

As announced in the 2015 final results on 27 June 2016, the investment in Smith Electric was impaired to nil due to the uncertainty around its future and the level of funding it required. The situation continues to be monitored and should some significant progress be made then an update will be provided.
