Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholders,

As shareholders know, our plan was to wind up the Company by the end of this year. As noted in our 7 May 2020 RNS announcement, this has not been practicable due to the global pandemic.

Aside from assets with a nil valuation, we continue to maintain investments in Celadon Mining Limited (Celadon) and Gobi Coal & Energy Ltd. (Gobi Coal). Celadon, as we announced on 12 June 2020, has entered into an agreement with a third party for the sale of the Company's assets. If the transaction completes, the Company would expect to receive net proceeds of approximately GBP 3.3 million as compared to a current carrying value of $1.129 million. The controlling shareholder has been unable to complete the transaction due to various countries' travel restrictions, which block the closing. We are in regular contact with Celadon's controlling shareholder and will report further in due course.

Gobi Coal has informed us that it has retained KPMG (Beijing) to sell the company. We have reviewed the offering documents, and Gobi Coal's management are hopeful that a sale will be consummated before the end of the year. We are in regular contact with the management team and will report as matters develop.

Our objectives continue to be selling the Company's remaining assets, returning capital to shareholders and putting the Company into liquidation. We will do our best to meet these objectives but have been hindered by difficulties arising from the global pandemic.

Very truly yours,

John D. Chapman

Chairman

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

   1                 Reporting entity 

Origo Partners Plc is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man whose shares are publicly traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Group.

The principal activities of the Group are private equity investment, focused on growth opportunities created by the urbanization and industrialization of China. The Group's Investing Policy has now changed from that of a closed-ended, permanent capital vehicle to that of a realisation company with the mandate to return the net proceeds of realisations to shareholders.

   2                 Basis of accounting 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which were prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at 55 Athol Street, Douglas, Isle of Man or the Company website http://origopartners.com

These interim consolidated financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Company's Board of directors on 25 September 2020.

   3                 Use of judgments and estimates 

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

Measurement of Fair Value

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

   -       Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised indifferent levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

   4                 Changes in significant accounting policies 

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements. A number of new standards are effective from 1 January 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

   5                 Financial risk management policies 

The principal risks and uncertainties are consistent with those disclosed with the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
