Chairman's Statement
Introduction
It has been a transformational year for Premier with the decision, announced in October 2010, to dispose of the previous operating business to former management and to wholly focus the Company's efforts on identifying opportunities in the natural resource sector. The Company's strategy is to create shareholder value through acquisition of gold exploration and development projects, with a primary focus on Kyrgyzstan. The Company has an option to acquire the entire issued share capital of Central Asia Resources Limited, a company which has been investigating gold exploration opportunities in Kyrgyzstan and had signed an option to acquire the Cholokkaindy gold exploration licence. The Company is also actively considering other gold acquisition opportunities in Kyrgyzstan. To properly reflect this change of direction, it is intended that the Company will, in due course, change its name to Premier Gold Resources plc.
Opportunity in Kyrgyzstan
Premier is targeting projects within the Tien Shan gold belt, one of the most prolific gold producing areas in the world, which hosts a number of large deposits including Muruntau (175 million oz), Daugyztau (18 million oz), Zarmitan (11 million oz) and Kumtor (18 million oz). Kumtor is Kyrgyzstan's largest gold producer, with output of over 550,000 oz last year.With gold accounting for more than 90% of the minerals mined in Kyrgyzstan by value, the country has a well-developed mining industry with infrastructure and skilled labour. It was also the first Central Asian country to implement a parliamentary democracy. The government is committed to attracting inward investment and has an attractive tax regime with various incentives to encourage foreign investment in the mining sector. The country has excellent exploration potential as much of it is under-explored.
Board changes
Following the disposal of the previous operating business to the former chairman, who resigned in November 2010, I was pleased to take on the additional role of chairman. I was further delighted to welcome two new directors to the board who bring a wealth of experience, both in Central Asia and gold exploration. Dr Reza Tabrizi and Christian Schaffalitzky were both appointed in November 2010. Dr Tabrizi has been involved in project finance in the Central Asian natural resources sector for seventeen years, including acting as an adviser to governments in the region, including Kyrgyzstan. Christian Schaffalitzky is a geologist with over 35 years of experience in mineral exploration, discovery and development, and has extensive experience in the region, particularly in Russia. The Company's management has been further strengthened with the appointment of John McKeon as a consultant. Mr McKeon has a considerable track record of generating value from natural resource projects in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. His extensive experience of originating, structuring and financing projects will be important in assisting Premier in the execution of our strategy.
Financial results
The results for the year ended 31 January 2011 showed a loss before tax of GBP2,206,871 (2010 - profit - GBP44,945) resulting from the disposal of the previous operating business at a loss of GBP4,146, a gain from the write-off of a GBP1,428,196 debenture loan and a share-based payment charge of GBP3,554,097 principally in respect of 186.7m warrants granted during the year. The operating loss before share based payments for the period was GBP76,824 (2010 - GBP50,414 profit) on a turnover of GBP44,642 (2010 - GBP49,632).
Outlook
Post year-end, the Company raised GBP2.12 million through a placing of new ordinary shares at 3p each. The proceeds will be used to further the Company's acquisition strategy, and the proposed acquisition of Central Asia Resources Limited is being progressed.
This is an exciting and watershed moment in the development of Premier, and I thank you for your continued support as we begin to develop our business in Kyrgyzstan.

NOTES:
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2010
1. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, (IFRSs) and IFRIC Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
2. Group accounts
The financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The company's subsidiary undertaking was dormant throughout the year. The company has therefore taken advantage of the exemptions provided by Section 405 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group financial statements on the basis that the results and net assets of the subsidiary undertaking are not material for the purposes of the company's financial statements giving a true and fair view.
3 . Sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised. Material estimates and assumptions are made in particular with regard to:
- the likelihood that tax assets would be realised; and
- the valuation of equity-settled share-based payments.
4 . Statutory accounts
The preliminary financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company's normal accounting policies but do not constitute statutory accounts. The Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2011 have been published and have been placed on the Company's website www.premiermgt.info.
