CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I have the pleasure of presenting your Company's Half-Year
Report for the six months ended 30 June 2016. The first half of
2016 has been a period of transition for the Company as it
completed the disposal of its Talas Mining interests located in the
Kyrgyz Republic and became a "cash shell" for the purposes of the
AIM Rules and has until 1 December 2016 to make an acquisition or
acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of
the AIM Rules or otherwise seek readmission as an "investing
company" with the attendant requirement to raise at least GBP6.0
million on or immediately before such readmission.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the financial support received from its shareholders
both in the form of additional funding and deferring the repayment
of the outstanding loan balance. This is further set out in the
Going Concern section of the notes to the financial statements
The focus for the board during the second half of 2016 is to
make an acquisition that will constitute a reverse takeover and
introduce a new business in the Company that has the possibility of
ultimately yielding returns for its shareholders. The Board will
update shareholders as there is progress on any possible reverse
takeover targets.
Kindest regards,
PETER MOSS

Notes to the Financial statements
1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial information has been prepared on an accruals basis
and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of
selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial
liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been
applied. The financial information is drawn in accordance with the
provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and adopted by the European Union. The financial information
is presented in US dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A comprehensive summary of the significant accounting policies
is provided for in the Tengri Resources (Tengri or the Company)
2015 Annual Report. A number of the significant accounting policies
in the 2015 Annual Report have been repeated below due to their
importance on this Half Year Report.
Consolidation
As at 31 December 2015 management concluded that the Company had
lost operational control of the Kyrgyz companies operating in the
Kyrgyz Republic.
A subsidiary of the Company is an entity for which the Company
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the entity. As the Company did not control the
Kyrgyz companies at 31 December 2015 these are not considered to be
subsidiaries of the Company at that date.
Due to the Kyrgyz companies ceasing to be treated as
subsidiaries in the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company has
prepared individual company interim financial statements for the
period ended 30 June 2016.
As these are the separate financial statements of Tengri, the 31
December 2015 and 30 June 2015 comparatives provide information on
the financial position and performance for Tengri only.
In these financial statements, the comparatives for the
investments in the Kyrgyz Republic were treated as investments in
subsidiaries until the point that control was lost, at which point
these were held as available for sale investments.
Going Concern
During the period the Company divested its shareholdings in the
Kyrgyz companies for total consideration of US$6.000 million (net
consideration of US$4.447 million).
These funds have been utilised by the Company to finalise a
settlement with Gold Fields Oregon Holdings BVI Limited
(Goldfields) and to repay the TIH Limited (TIH) and Argyle Street
Management Limited (ASML) loan notes. The Company also partly
repaid the Robust Resources Limited (Robust) loan note.
Further funds will be required to fund existing levels of
corporate overheads and to repay the outstanding principal owing to
Robust.
These factors indicate that the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent upon the financial support received
from its shareholders both in the form of additional funding and
deferring the repayment of the outstanding loan balance.
Notwithstanding the above, the Directors are satisfied that it
is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going
concern basis having regard to the following factors:
-- Tengri has significantly reduced expenses as a result of divesting the Kyrgyz companies;
-- Tengri has sufficient cash at the date of signing the
financial statements to pay its trade creditors on normal
commercial terms; and
-- Tengri and Robust intend to use their best efforts to
negotiate and effect a solvent restructuring of the outstanding
loan note balance.
Should the Company not be able to manage the inherent
uncertainties referred to above, there would be significant
uncertainty as to whether the Company would be able to meet its
debts as and when they fall due and thus continue as a going
concern. The Directors believe that there is a reasonable prospect
of a solvent restructuring being agreed and implemented with Robust
and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements
on a going concern basis.
If the Company is unable to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future, adjustments would have to be made to
reduce the values of the assets to their recoverable amounts,
provide for further liabilities that might arise and reclassify
non-current assets as current assets.

During the period the Company entered into a conditional
agreement with Socagest to sell its Kyrgyz assets relating to the
Taldybulak and Andash projects for US$6.000 million. The sale
provided that Tengri use US$0.553 million of the sales proceeds to
repay trade creditor balances relating to its subsidiaries that
formed part of the sale. The sale was completed on 31 May 2016. At
the same time the Company and its majority shareholder Robust
entered into an agreement with Goldfields to settle all ongoing and
future obligations owed to Goldfields in respect of the Kyrgyz
projects for a consideration of US$1.000 million. This allowed the
Company to complete a full and clean exit from its activities in
the Kyrgyz Republic.

US$ US$
Financial derivative
associated with convertible
note liability - 647,504
Financial derivative
liability - 647,504
The convertible note liabilities issued by the Company contain
an embedded option to convert the debt to ordinary shares. The
embedded options have been separated from the host contract and
accounted for as a derivative as the economic characteristics and
risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the
economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. The
embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in
value being recorded in profit or loss.
During the period the ASML and TIH convertible note liabilities
were repaid in full. As a result of the repayment the financial
derivative recognised at inception for the ASML and TIH convertible
notes has been fair valued at $nil with the movement taken to the
profit and loss.
During the period the Company also partly repaid US$2.250
million of the outstanding principal owing to Robust. The fair
value of the embedded derivative related to the residual Robust
convertible note (US$0.750 million) has been assessed at $nil. The
Company has determined the fair value to be $nil based on the
following:
-- Tengri's closing share price was at reporting date was
1.825p. This compares to the conversion price of 5.000p;
-- The Company has a shareholder deficit at reporting date of US$0.661 million; and
-- At reporting date the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon the financial support received from
its shareholders both in the form of additional funding and
deferring the repayment of the outstanding loan balance.
Reconciliation of the financial derivative liability during the
period is below:
