INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

 

 

 

Operations Review

 

· Net Asset Value per share - 1.14p (30 June 2014 - 1.83p)

· Total assets of £1.63M (30 June 2014 - £2.63M)

 

 

Despite all the negativity surrounding commodity prices, major mining companies and the fortunes of small cap resource companies, we write this commentary with more optimism than the previous few years.

 

London has seen an emergence in financing capability targeted towards companies with competent management teams and quality assets. Retail investors are either "going it alone" with stock selection or working under the umbrella of advisory groups specializing in the industry sector. With easy access to messaging boards, investment chat sites and financial forums, the retail investor is now better informed than ever before in the history of small cap investments. This trend coupled with regulated transparency and control over company information dissemination is resulting in a level playing field where informed decisions can be made in what remains a risky environment.

 

The recent and dramatic fall in the share price of Glencore plc and the debate surrounding its fund raising by means of a placing of new shares as opposed to an expected rights issue, serves to demonstrate that the current commodity crash has been widespread and is now also impacting the majors of the industry.

 

The Board of Tiger has, over the last couple of years, come to the view that second guessing commodity prices, interest rates and other factors which may influence company performance is futile. What matters is a combination of good assets managed by experienced engineers with good corporate backgrounds. A degree of tenacity also helps when navigating junior resource companies through the current threats.

 

We therefore continue to seek out investment opportunities which, in due course will convert a low entry price into profitable exits. Our first pro-active investment, Xtract Resources Plc has performed well and we have taken the opportunity to realise some profit in this investment during the period under review. African Pioneer Plc has made a number of small investments which coincide with Tiger's view that now is an opportune time to make strategic investments in the industry sector.

 

In essence, Tiger whilst not enamoured with recent developments in the resource sector, remains convinced that change is around the corner. The Directors will continue to seek out opportunities in and around special situations within the sector and participate in more passive investments which should provide above average returns in more stable markets.

 

 

 

By order of the Board.

4. Deferred Tax

 

A deferred tax asset on revaluation of AFS investments arose during the period. However, deferred tax assets are not recognised due to the unpredictability of future profit streams arising from the disposal of investments held by the Group. Losses may be carried forward indefinitely and will only be recoverable if suitable profits arise in the future.

 

 

5. Called Up Share Capital

 

The share capital of Tiger Resource Finance PLC consists only of fully paid ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p each. All shares are equally eligible to receive dividends and the repayment of capital and represent one vote at the shareholders' meeting of Tiger Resource Finance PLC.
