Carlton Resources Plc
Chairman'sand Chief Executive's Statement
In the six month period to 31 December 2009, the Company continued to implement
the restructuring and rebuilding measures established by the Board in the early
part of the year with a view to preparing it for new opportunities. Following
the capital reorganisation and fundraising undertaken in June 2009, the Board of
the Company was restructured in October 2009 such that Melissa Sturgess was
appointed non-executive Chairman, Mark Burchnall moved from a non-executive
position to Chief Executive and Martyn Churchouse moved to a non-executive role.
As announced during the period, the Company continued to investigate a number of
mineral opportunities in Africa with a view to making a suitable acquisition
that would benefit shareholders. This process culminated in the announcement on
14 December 2009 that the Company had entered into an option agreement for the
potential acquisition of Tobon Tondo suarl, a Malian company holding two highly
prospective gold permits, although the Company continues to evaluate other
opportunities.
Pursuant to the AIM Rules, the announcement of the option led to the suspension
from trading of the Company's shares on AIM. Trading in the Company's shares
will be restored following completion of an acquisition (which will constitute a
reverse takeover, as defined in the AIM Rules), prior to 11 July 2010. Such an
acquisition will require the approval of shareholders.
The directors are working towards concluding such an acquisition in the near
future and look forward to delivering positive news to shareholders in this
regard.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO CARLTON RESOURCES PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31
December 2009 which comprises the statement of comprehensive income, the
statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the
statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes.
We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of and has been approved by the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the rules of the
London Stock Exchange for companies trading securities on the Alternative
Investment Market which require that the half-yearly report be presented and
prepared in a form consistent with that which will be adopted in the company's
annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable to such
annual accounts.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review.
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to
assist the company in meeting the requirements of the rules of the London Stock
Exchange for companies trading securities on the Alternative Investment Market
and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless
such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for
the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so
by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility
for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby
expressly disclaim any and all such liability
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 31 December 2009 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the rules of the London Stock Exchange for
companies trading securities on the Alternative Investment Market.

Carlton Resources Plc
Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements
For the half year ended 31 December 2009
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information set out above is based on the financial statements of
Carlton Resources Plc (referred to as 'Carlton' or 'Company'). The accounts of
the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2009, which are unaudited, were
approved by the Board on 22 March 2010. In accordance with s435 of the
Companies Act 2006, such unaudited results do not constitute statutory accounts
of the Company or Group.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set
out in the Report and Financial Statements of Carlton Resources Plc for the year
ended 30 June 2009. The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 have
been filed with the registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those
accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which the
auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and
did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the companies act
2006. These accounts have not been audited by the Company's auditors.
The Company's Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2009
reflected the disposal of its diamond and industrial operations in January
2009. As at 30 June 2009 and as at 31 December 2009, the Company was not a
parent as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The comparative interim financial
information for the period to and as at 31 December 2008 represents the
consolidated financial information as previously reported, as a Group existed at
this time.
The Group financial statements are prepared in Great British Pounds, and all
values are rounded to the nearest thousand Pounds (GBP'000) except when
otherwise indicated.
Based upon forecasts, the Directors believe that Carlton has sufficient cash to
pay existing creditors. However, it is recognised that in order to pursue any
future opportunity, as outlined in the Chairman's and Chief Executives
Statement, there will be a need to raise finance in the form of equity or debt.
The Directors remain optimistic at this point in time of being able to raise the
required finance, providing a suitable opportunity can be sourced and therefore
these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Changes in accounting policies
There were no changes in accounting policies during the six months ended 31
December 2009.

4. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to the
ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period.
For diluted loss per share, the weighted average number of shares in issue is
adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Reconciliations of the loss and weighted average number of shares used in the
calculations are set out below:
