Notes to Editors

The directors of MMM have established a network of contacts internationally within the sector and will utilise independent third parties to provide expert advice where necessary.

Chairman's Statement
I have pleasure in presenting the Financial Statements of MMM.
The Company was formed to undertake the acquisition of a controlling interest in a business (either shares or assets) that has operations in the natural resources sector (an "Acquisition"), reflecting the experience of the Company's board of directors.
Since the Company's IPO on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2020, the Company has seen a steady flow of potential Acquisition opportunities and has actively reviewed many projects covering all stages of development from exploration through to producing assets over a range of commodities across multiple jurisdictions.
In October 2021 the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding term sheet with Africa Resources Holdings, LLC ("ARH") to acquire the entire issued share capital of Narnia Mauritius Gas Holdings Limited ("NMGH"), that will hold a 95%, interest in Inert Gas Industries (Proprietary) Limited ("IGI"), which in turn owns the Lindley Natural Gas Project ("LNGP") exploration licences situated in the Free State Province of South Africa (the "Proposed Transaction").
ARH have indicated that the LNGP exploration licences cover an area of over 20,000 hectares with a portion of the LNGP licence area being previously operated by the Anglo-American Corporation of South Africa Limited for approximately ten years producing both Methane and Helium gas. The Methane gas was flared whilst the Helium gas was sold locally in South Africa. Subject to compliance with all the requirements of the regulatory authorities in South Africa, following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company intends to secure production permits to facilitate the production and distribution of Methane, Helium and any other marketable products from LNGP.
As the Proposed Transaction, if completed, would constitute a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules the Company has suspended trading of its shares on the London Stock Exchange pending the publication of a prospectus providing further detail on NMGH, IGI and LNGP and the Company as enlarged by the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposed Transaction is conditional on (i) satisfactory due diligence, (ii) entering into a definitive legal agreement, (iii) raising further funds for the Proposed Transaction, (iv) approval by shareholders at a General Meeting to be convened, (v) obtaining all necessary approvals (if required), and (vi) granting of eligibility for the readmission of the Company to the Official List by the FCA.
The Company has been made aware through the due diligence process that the project licence has not been renewed and that the project vendors are currently appealing the refusal to renew. The Company does not know whether the appeal will succeed or how long it will take to be decided.
Given the above, there can be no certainty that the Proposed Transaction will take place and the Company intends to update the market in the near term as to whether it will proceed or resolve to pursue another course of action.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated on 28 January 2013 in England and Wales as a limited company, limited by shares and with Registered Number 08377465 under the Companies Act 2006. The Company's registered office address is 1 King Street, Office 3.05, London EC2V 8AU. The Company has not yet commenced business. The company re-registered as a public limited company on 22 October 2018.
The Company's objective is to undertake an acquisition of a target company or business in the natural resources sector.
Other than the Directors the company did not have any staff.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the Company Financial Information are set out below.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations as endorsed by the EU ("IFRS") and the requirements of the Companies Act applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The Company Financial Information has been presented in Pounds Sterling, being the functional currency of the Company.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to exercise their judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The Company's accounting policies as well as the areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Company financial statements are disclosed in the audited annual report for the year ended 31 January 2021 and are available on the Company's website.
In the opinion of the management, the interim unaudited financial information includes all adjustments considered necessary for fair and consistent presentation of this financial information. The interim unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes for the year ended 31 January 2022.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence. The Company is a start-up company and does not currently have any service offering or customer base, however, it has successfully been admitted to the London Stock Exchange - Main Market where it has already raised GBP726,667 to fund its business plans.
The Directors consider there to be uncertainty over the timing and occurrence of a potential acquisition, however given the proceeds raised to the date of this report and having regard to forecast operating costs there is sufficient headroom to remain in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date the financial statements were approved.
The warrant holders have indicated their intention to exercise their warrants. This would provide the company with circa GBP686 667 before costs of converting the warrants.
3. DIRECTORS' EMOLUMENTS
No amount was paid or become payable to any of the Directors of the Company and there were no staff costs as no staff was employed by the Company during the period ended 31 July 2022 (2021: NIL).
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company uses a limited number of financial instruments, comprising cash and various items such as trade payables, which arise directly from operations. The Company does not trade in financial instruments.
Financial risk factors
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.
(a) Credit risk
The Company does not have any major concentrations of credit risk related to any individual customer or counterparty.
(b) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the Company ensures it has adequate resource to discharge all its liabilities. The directors have considered the liquidity risk as part of their going concern assessment.
Fair values
Management assessed that the fair values of cash trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
