Tiger Resource Finance PLC

27 September 2016

TIGER RESOURCE FINANCE PLC

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2016

Operations Review

   --      Net Asset Value per share - 0.81p (30 June 2015 - 1.14p/ 31 Dec 2015 - 0.77p) 
   --      Total assets of GBP1.12M (30 June 2015 - GBP1.63M/ 31 Dec 2015 - GBP1.10M) 

Last year at this time, Tiger reported that it was quite optimistic despite the gloom surrounding the resource industry. The optimism expressed was justified against the events of this year and the Board is now confident that the resource sector will enter a gradual but sustained growth phase during the coming year.

We note that the major mining companies have all made significant gains in market capitalisation since the January 2016 lows and their management are making further positive statements on the future prospects for their companies. As always, it is taking time for the positive sentiment to migrate into the smaller cap sector. The Canadian market has seen much investor activity with secondary placings being common and considerable M&A activity based on opportunity rather than threat. We have little doubt that this sentiment will be evident in the UK AIM market in which the Company generally operates.

Commodity prices have been erratic with solid gains being recorded in the price of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and zinc particularly since the January 2016 lows. The price of oil has climbed from the low $30's to almost $50 per barrel and there is an expectation that it will remain close to this level in the coming months, given the decision by oil exporting countries to resist attempts to curtail their output, particularly in the short to medium term. The US shale oil and gas industry has shown resilience and seems capable of operating profitably to this longer term price deck.

We expect metal prices to generally improve but are less optimistic for the gold price than others might be. We recognise the unprecedented level of geo-political risks throughout the world but fear that the stronger dollar and better global economic conditions will eventually drive the price of gold lower. The US Presidential election will continue to weigh on sentiment but again we feel that whoever wins, the certainty will work against the gold price.

Despite their lackluster performance, year to date, we are bullish on copper and nickel and as such we will be looking at investments in these commodities. Global markets at the moment are giving very little value to companies exploring for base metals and we are confident that this phenomenon will change dramatically over the coming two years.

The Board remains convinced that passive investment alone is not the way forward and as such we will also take on investment in companies which, in our opinion, are undervalued and have significant scope for positive revaluation with improving metal prices due to the hidden value in their specific asset base. The Board is currently considering a number of strategic investments in private base metal companies on a pre IPO basis to gain exposure to these opportunities. The strategy on these investments will be to be proactive and a member of the Tiger team will be actively involved in bringing these companies to IPO and may at times join the newly listed company's board to represent Tiger's interest in the underlying investee company.

The Group had a cash balance in excess of GBP500,000 at 30 June 2016 giving the Board some scope to execute on suitable investment opportunities. However, the Board believes that further strengthening of the balance sheet would give the Company greater flexibility to act on potential opportunities and have therefore proposed a reorganisation of the Company's share capital structure which will be voted on by shareholders at the General Meeting on 30 September 2016. If passed, the capital reorganisation will allow the Company more flexibility with respect to issuing new shares in the case of any potential transaction or new equity fundraising.

We announced the resignation of Bruce Rowan on 31 August 2016 due to personal reasons. Bruce has been a good friend and colleague to the Board and to all members of the management team and as such he will be missed.
