China Evoline Plc
Unaudited Results for the Six Months Ended 31 December 2009
CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Dear shareholder
This report and unaudited financial statements covers the six months to 31
December 2009. The loss after tax for the six months to 31 December 2009 from
continuing activities amounted to GBP35,000 (2009: loss GBP396,000).
BASIS OF PREPARATION - GOING CONCERN
As I informed shareholders in my Chairman's Statement in the audited accounts as
at 30 June 2009, the majority shareholder has irrevocably committed to lend the
Company an additional GBP160,000. The first tranche of GBP80,000 has been drawn
upon and the second tranche of GBP80,000 is due to be drawn in April 2010. At
this stage the Directors have no reason to believe that this will not happen.
A critical element is the Company securing a substantial acquisition. In the
event no substantial acquisition is made by 21 April 2010, being twelve months
from the date of the 2009 AGM, in accordance with the AIM rules for companies,
trading in the Company's shares will be suspended and, if no transaction is
achieved by the Company within a further six months, the London Stock Exchange
will cancel admission of the shares on AIM.
As at the date of these interim accounts, the Directors are pursuing a number of
investment opportunities which they believe will result in a successful
acquisition being completed by October 2010. To date, these investment
opportunities have been mostly in the mining sector. We are currently conducting
feasibility studies and will update investors in due course.
If the Company successfully identifies a suitable investment opportunity, the
ability to continue as a going concern will depend on being able to raise the
necessary finance in order to fund the appropriate due diligence and purchase
price consideration and being able to successfully integrate the target into the
Group so as to generate cash in the future.
If the Company fails to secure any additional finance, the Company will be
unable to continue as a going concern as it will have insufficient funds to
trade after twelve months. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on continued financial support of the majority shareholder.
Despite the above mentioned uncertainties, the Directors consider that China
Evoline Plc is a going concern, and the accounts of the parent entity have been
prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors consider this appropriate,
based on the refinancing of the Company which was approved by shareholders at 21
April 2009, the additional loan finance secured subsequent to 30 June 2009, and
on the assumption that the investment strategy will be successfully implemented
by October 2010. The above conditions represent a material uncertainty that may
cast significant doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments which would
result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

5. NON-CURRENT INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES
Convertible loan note
The principal amount of the loan note was GBP258,636. Interest is accrued at a
rate of 2.5% per annum (only payable if conversion does not take place), is
unsecured and repayable on 21 April 2011. The loan note is subject to
compulsory conversion in the event of a reverse takeover (in accordance with the
AIM rules) into 1,124,506 new ordinary shares at 23 pence per share. In
addition, the loan note holder has the right to convert any amount of the
principal into the relevant number of new ordinary shares, as set out above, at
any time within the two years from the date of issue.
The value of the liability and the equity conversion components has been
determined at the date of issue. The fair value of the liability component at
inception was calculated using discounted cash flows using a market interest
rate that would be payable on a similar debt instrument. The discount factor
was 8%. The remaining amount was credited direct to equity and is not
subsequently remeasured.
