Really need some new system of match bargaining at mid price, this is just a scam for mm's to make huge profits. I bet when one sell goes in all those 500k buyers in first will rush for the door before their trades turn into a loss.

Should be able to buy and sell at mid price no mm's

Sadly Bruce Rowan died last September. Please see my post earlier this morning on LSE which highlights the situation far more clearly than TW has. I have been trying to buy TIR for months

Found the letter - I see I addressed it to BR rather than CB. It was CB who answered!

Mr Bruce Rowan
TIGER RESOURCE FINANCE PLC
2. Cromwell Place
London SW7 2JE
ROYAUME UNI 24th August 2007

Dear Mr Rowan

RE: TIGER RESOURCE FINANCE – "TIR"

Perhaps the only disadvantage of no longer living in the UK, is that I am in practical terms unable now to attend the AGMs of companies in which I invest both my pension & personal investment funds.

That said, I was pleased to read that you welcome shareholder comment, so I would now like to pose a few questions and suggestions:

1. TRANSPARENCY

Over the past few years, in a time when every listed company has sought to improve shareholder communication and investment companies in particular have provided more regular asset valuations and portfolio declarations, you have moved in the opposite direction with now just Quarterly NAV declarations and Half-yearly portfolio declarations.

Over the same period the dealing activity of TIR has been almost moribund, so the previous reason given of "necessary secrecy so as not to hinder stake building or liquidation" clearly has no base in fact.

Might I therefore suggest that you immediately, in the interests of good shareholder communication, change your reporting to:

# NAV declarations - weekly
# Portfolio declarations - monthly

2. MIT VENTURES CORP.

Listed in the TIR portfolio is a holding valued at £40k and described merely as MIT Ventures Corp. Loan Note. Could you please provide some information on this investment, in particular whether we earn any interest, whether there is any capital upside and when it is due for repayment?

3. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Over the 3 years of 2004/5/6 Administrative Expenses have escalated markedly as a %age of Shareholder Funds:

2004: 3.7%
2005: 4.2%
2006: 5.4%

In view of the relative inactivity over this period, could you please advise why such an escalation has occurred, how it can be justified and whether you recognise that a cap on costs should be instigated.

4. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT – 26th June 2007

A very brief study of the TIGER portfolio shows a bundle of frankly rather poorly performing mining companies, saved wholly by the holding in Franconia. Fortunately the overall performance of the portfolio relies on the two major investments in the junior oil & gas exploration sector – together accounting for over two-thirds of the TIR non-cash portfolio as at end May'07. In spite of this fact your Chairman's Statement of 26th June makes absolutely no mention of OIL. Could you tell me something as to your thoughts in that area?

5. INVESTMENT STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE

Again over the 3 years of 2004/5/6, a period of massively increasing commodity prices, soaring share prices and almost historically low interest rates you have been keeping an average of 45% of TIR net assets in CASH. This policy has quite naturally severely constrained the investment performance of TIR.

To respond that over this period there was a lack of assured good investments in the Natural Resource sector is patently absurd. With hindsight of course, just buying into the leading global miners (BHP Billiton, Anglo-American, Xstrata etc.) would have proved well worthwhile, as would have been a policy of delegating responsibility by buying into any of the leading Natural Resource investment trusts. Sitting on CASH in such boom conditions shows what can only be kindly described as questionable judgement.

Of course, we can't wind the clock back, but equally an alternative to the recent relative failure surely needs to be found.

The Board's principal responsibility to shareholders is to maximise shareholder value. Other than through investment performance, the Board in my view quite correctly sought and received shareholder approval for a series of Section 163(3) share buybacks with the stated objective of reducing the share price discount to the underlying NAV.

However, the Scheme has only partially been successful. By buying-in stock at such a discount to NAV, the underlying NAV per share has been improved; but over the period of the buybacks the NAV discount has simply widened further. A couple of weeks ago, when Ascent Resources was trading above 30p, the NAV discount exceeded 50%!

Might I recommend a solution:

GENERAL TENDER OFFER

Another tactic used by many listed companies has been to return cash to shareholders via a general tender offer. This has the subsidiary benefit of reducing the NAV discount as it confirms the Board's intent to more closely align the share price to underlying value. What can be done once, can be done again should the excess discount continue.

In the case of TIR a 1 for 3 buyback @ a price in the region of 4.5p-5.0p / share would seem to be appropriate bearing in mind the current Market price of 3.65p; the current Gross NAV of c.6.3p; and the recent share price intra-day high of 4.85p-5.0p.

Allowing for costs of 200k (perhaps too high an estimate), the cost of the tender would be £2.82m-£3.11m; ie an amount easily fundable from existing cash balances.

I suggest that the above course of action will:

a). Reduce the future NAV discount

b). Provide shareholders with a cash bonus more than compensating for past lack of dividends

c). Utilise a fair %age of the cash reserves for which TIR has had no apparent use over recent years

I assume that you will wish to discuss the contents of this letter with both other Board members and retained professional advisers, so I have forwarded copies to:

# Colin Bird
# Michael Nolan
# Davy Corporate Finance
# WH Ireland

I look forward to hearing from you regarding the various questions above; and most especially regarding the Tender Offer proposal. Please do feel free to respond by Email.

Yours sincerely

WK - I traded letters with TIR back in August 2007. So as to be sure of a response I addressed my initial letter to Bruce Rowan, but mailed copies to all directors & all advisors. The reply when it came was from Colin Bird VIA (and I quote): "....which we received earlier this month via the Company's nominated advisor's Davy Corporate Finance."

My outgoing letter:

==================================================================

I'll try to grab some time to type out the response, but frankly it was just all rather disingenuous! I became disillusioned as to the likelihood of any change, so sold down 90% of my holding.

The only way to have any chance of getting change, is to confront the directors at the AGM. I've done that successfully in the past by creating a stink & being downright rude at the AGM when the directors of Lionheart were deplorably seeking to buy out the company for their own advantage. I started by mailshotting some of the larger shareholders on the share register; and found two shareholders who were useful and active; and were also actively participating by buying a meaningful stake. The outcome was liquidation and a fair distribution.

Sorry, I can't help as I now live abroad, but obviously wish you every success.
