TIGER RESOURCE FINANCE PLC
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE
2016
Operations Review
-- Net Asset Value per share - 0.81p (30 June 2015 - 1.14p/ 31 Dec 2015 - 0.77p)
-- Total assets of GBP1.12M (30 June 2015 - GBP1.63M/ 31 Dec 2015 - GBP1.10M)
Last year at this time, Tiger reported that it was quite
optimistic despite the gloom surrounding the resource industry. The
optimism expressed was justified against the events of this year
and the Board is now confident that the resource sector will enter
a gradual but sustained growth phase during the coming year.
We note that the major mining companies have all made
significant gains in market capitalisation since the January 2016
lows and their management are making further positive statements on
the future prospects for their companies. As always, it is taking
time for the positive sentiment to migrate into the smaller cap
sector. The Canadian market has seen much investor activity with
secondary placings being common and considerable M&A activity
based on opportunity rather than threat. We have little doubt that
this sentiment will be evident in the UK AIM market in which the
Company generally operates.
Commodity prices have been erratic with solid gains being
recorded in the price of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and zinc
particularly since the January 2016 lows. The price of oil has
climbed from the low $30's to almost $50 per barrel and there is an
expectation that it will remain close to this level in the coming
months, given the decision by oil exporting countries to resist
attempts to curtail their output, particularly in the short to
medium term. The US shale oil and gas industry has shown resilience
and seems capable of operating profitably to this longer term price
deck.
We expect metal prices to generally improve but are less
optimistic for the gold price than others might be. We recognise
the unprecedented level of geo-political risks throughout the world
but fear that the stronger dollar and better global economic
conditions will eventually drive the price of gold lower. The US
Presidential election will continue to weigh on sentiment but again
we feel that whoever wins, the certainty will work against the gold
price.
Despite their lackluster performance, year to date, we are
bullish on copper and nickel and as such we will be looking at
investments in these commodities. Global markets at the moment are
giving very little value to companies exploring for base metals and
we are confident that this phenomenon will change dramatically over
the coming two years.
The Board remains convinced that passive investment alone is not
the way forward and as such we will also take on investment in
companies which, in our opinion, are undervalued and have
significant scope for positive revaluation with improving metal
prices due to the hidden value in their specific asset base. The
Board is currently considering a number of strategic investments in
private base metal companies on a pre IPO basis to gain exposure to
these opportunities. The strategy on these investments will be to
be proactive and a member of the Tiger team will be actively
involved in bringing these companies to IPO and may at times join
the newly listed company's board to represent Tiger's interest in
the underlying investee company.
The Group had a cash balance in excess of GBP500,000 at 30 June
2016 giving the Board some scope to execute on suitable investment
opportunities. However, the Board believes that further
strengthening of the balance sheet would give the Company greater
flexibility to act on potential opportunities and have therefore
proposed a reorganisation of the Company's share capital structure
which will be voted on by shareholders at the General Meeting on 30
September 2016. If passed, the capital reorganisation will allow
the Company more flexibility with respect to issuing new shares in
the case of any potential transaction or new equity
fundraising.
We announced the resignation of Bruce Rowan on 31 August 2016
due to personal reasons. Bruce has been a good friend and colleague
to the Board and to all members of the management team and as such
he will be missed.
