Chairman's Statement

It is less than nine weeks since the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 were issued along with my last statement but, since then, your Board has continued to review a number of potential opportunities for a Reverse Takeover ("RTO"). The Board is very aware of the need to act quickly given that the admission to trading of the Company's ordinary shares on AIM will be cancelled if such a transaction is not completed by the relevant date in October 2019. The Board are considering a number of possibilities including applying for admission to a different exchange.

In the meantime, a close watch is being kept on all expenses and, wherever possible, cost savings will continue to be made.

As soon as there is material progress with an RTO, an appropriate announcement will be made.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

1. General

Tau Capital Plc (the "Company") is a closed-ended investment company domiciled in the Isle of Man since 3 April 2007. The Company was incorporated under the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931-2004. Following approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 July 2012, the Company was re-registered under the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006 with registered number 008604V. The Company's ordinary shares are admitted to trading on AIM, a market of that name operated by the London Stock Exchange. The Company has no employees.

On 18 October 2018, the Company completed the disposal of the Company's indirect interest in Stopharm LLP ("Stopharm") (see note 4). Following this disposal, under AIM Rule 15, the Company was then classified as a cash shell. The result of this was that the Company was required, within six months to make an acquisition which constitutes a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 or be re-admitted to trading on AIM as an investing company, failing which the Company's ordinary shares would be suspended. The Company's ordinary shares were suspended on 23 April 2019 and the Company now has up to six months from the date of suspension of the Company's ordinary shares to complete a reverse takeover or be readmitted to trading on AIM as an investing company or the Company's shares will be cancelled from trading on AIM pursuant to AIM Rule 41.

The Company's subsidiaries, Tau (Cayman) L.P., Tau Cayman Limited and Tau SPV 1 Cooperatief WA ("Tau SPV 1") were dissolved on 20 December 2018, 31 January 2019 and 3 January 2019 respectively.

On 9 April 2019 the Company allotted and admitted to AIM 150,000,000 ordinary shares with one voting right each, raising gross proceeds of US$150,000, via a placing.

On 12 April 2019 the Company made a distribution of US$1,185,429, equivalent to US$0.0242 per share to ordinary shareholders on record at 5 April 2019.

2. Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company as at the year ended 31 December 2018. The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at IOMA House, Hope Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1AP or at www.taucapitalplc.com.

This is the first set of financial statements in which IFRS 16 Leases has been applied. The Company is neither a lease or lessor, therefore the application has resulted in no measurement or disclosure impact on the financial statements.

A number of other new standards are effective from 1 January 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the financial statements.

3. Significant accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's financial statements as at 31 December 2018 other than noted above. There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires the Board of Directors to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Key estimates, assumptions and judgements that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are outlined below.

Going concern

Following the liquidation of all subsidiaries and the suspension of trading of the Company's ordinary shares on the AIM as detailed in note 1, the Board has made an assessment of the Company's going concern. In light of this, the financial statements have been presented on a non-going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be placed into liquidation, following the delisting of the Company's ordinary shares, should a reverse takeover not be completed or be readmitted to trading on AIM as an investing company by the relevant date in October 2019.

a) Segment reporting

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. The Directors are of the opinion that over the financial period, the Company held no operating segments.

4. Investments in Subsidiaries

At 30 June 2019 the Company held no subsidiaries. The fair value of Tau Cayman Ltd at 31 December 2018 was US$ nil and at 30 June 2018 was US$2,560,349.

From 1 January 2018 the Company classified its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IFRS 9"). This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39").

The Company valued its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurements ("IFRS 13"). IFRS 13 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.

Financial instruments included in each category are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted market price

Level 2 - Market observable inputs

Level 3 - Non-market observable inputs

No financial assets were held at 30 June 2019 or 31 December 2018. At 30 June 2018 Level 3 financial assets of US$2,560,349 were held by the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the movement in financial assets for which non-market observable inputs Level 3 were used to determine fair value in the comparative periods:

There were no transfers between Levels during any of the reported financial period. Net realised and unrealised gains/(losses) on investments are recognised as investment income in the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income.

As at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 the Company held no Level 3 financial assets. The only Level 3 financial asset measured at fair value at 30 June 2018 was the Company's investment in Tau Cayman L.P. which had a fair value of US$2,560,349. The investment was valued using a net realisable assets approach; details of the significant unobservable inputs in the valuation at 30 June 2018 included the perceived valuation of the Stopharm investment.

On 18 October 2018 the Company completed the disposal of the Company's indirect interest in Stopharm. The investment was valued at 30 June 2018 at US$1,100,000 based on estimated net proceeds at the date the accounts were signed.
