Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present the results of All Asia Asset Capital Limited (the "Company") together with its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the half year ended 30 June 2017.

Business review

During the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company continued its focus on Myanmar. The Company disposed of its subsidiary, Energy Central Limited, which held the Company's minority investment of a 7 per cent interest in APU. and maintained its minority investment of 7 per cent interest in MAG.

As previously noted the Company's disposal of Energy Central Limited was approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 24 March 2017 and the disposal was completed shortly following payment of the cash consideration by the purchaser on 3 May 2017.

During the year MAG continued operating the Allure Resort, a combined hotel, resort and gaming facilities located in Tachileik province, Myanmar, in the vicinity of the Thailand-Myanmar Mae Sai border. The resort is situated in an 11-acre plot and is easily accessible from Chiang Rai, Thailand and located within five minutes' walk from the border.

The latest indication provided by the management of the Allure Resort points to a robust year-ended 31 March 2016 and the Allure Resort's management have informed AAA that the Resort has shown stable room occupancy and operating performance between 2016 and 2017 to-date in spite of adverse weather conditions during the annual monsoons. The outlook of the Allure Resort's management remains positive and they are confident there is potential for improvement in profit margins and capturing a greater share of cross-border traveller traffic in the Allure Resort's vicinity.

MAG is also seeking a partner or partnership opportunities with other entities which have a gaming background, with a view to potentially having a partner co-invest in a new building development.

Financial Results

During the six months ended 30 June 2017 the Company recorded a profit attributable to the owners of the Company of £1.21 million (six months ended 30 June 2017: loss attributable to the owners of the Company of £0.11 million). This profit was attributable to a net gain on the disposal of Energy Central Limited and a change of fair value for a convertible loan issued by the Company.

After the disposal of Energy Central Limited, the majority of the assets of the Group consists now of its investment in MAG which, as at 30 June 2017, had a carrying value of £1.51 million in AAA's balance sheet (31 December 2016: carrying value of MAG - £1.59 million). As at 30 June 2017 the net assets of the Group were £2.01 million (31 December 2016: net assets of £2.13 million) and the Group had cash and cash equivalents of £0.52 million (31 December 2016: cash and cash equivalents of £0.05 million).

Board Changes

On 21 April 2017 the Company announced that Mr. Paniti Junhasavasdikul would step down as an executive director and general counsel of the Company as of 30 April 2017. We extend our gratitude to him for his diligence, commitment and contribution to the Company during his tenure of office and we wish him the best for his future endeavours.

The Company believes that it is very important that they identify the right candidate to replace Paniti Junhasavasdikul and who possesses the skills and experience that match the strategic direction of the business. AAA will provide an update on its plans for the board once it has further assessed the strategic direction of the Company following the sale of Energy Central Limited.

Economic Outlook

With the Company's investee company, MAG, being located in Myanmar is it important that we consider the current political and economic climate. In a report dated 30 January 2017, the World Bank commented that Myanmar's economy will grow by an average of 7.1% per year in the next three years, as inflation pressures are expected to ease up and private and public investments in infrastructure services and non-commodity sectors, such as light manufacturing and hospitality, are forecasted to rise. Given that MAG's focus is on the local tourism and hospitality sector, this should be a positive trend. However the Board is aware of recent events in Myanmar and that sanctions could be re-established, which could potentially reverse the trends mentioned above. This Rohingya humanitarian crisis could potentially stall growth in the shorter-term, although the medium to long-term outlook for Tachileik province in particular and Myanmar in general seems robust for the time being.

AAA's Investing Policy

(As adopted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 10 December 2013)

The Company intends to invest in companies with at least the majority of their operations (or early stage companies that intend to have at least the majority of their operations) in the Asia Pacific region. The Company intends to invest in a portfolio of companies with an initial focus on companies that operate (or early stage companies that intend to operate) in industries with likely high growth potential including, but not limited to: agriculture, forestry and plantation, mining, natural resources, property and/or technology.

The Directors intend to source and identify potential investments in line with the Investing Policy through their own research and network of contacts and possibly strategic partnerships with other companies or persons who can assist the Company in sourcing and identifying potential investments. Investments are expected to be mainly in the form of equity although investments may be by way of debt, convertible securities or investments in specific projects. In the case of equity investments, the Directors intend typically to take minority positions (with suitable minority protection rights), primarily in unquoted companies. Investments will therefore typically be of a passive nature. However, whilst the Directors intend that typical investments will constitute minority positions in investee companies, should the Company make majority investments, the Company may seek participation in the management or board of directors of such an entity with a view to seeking to improve the performance and growth of the business.

There is no limit on the size of an investment in a project. The Directors expect that each investment will typically yield a targeted internal rate of return of at least 20 to 30 per cent. per annum. It is likely that a substantial portion of the Company's financial resources will be invested in a small number of companies, however the Company has not excluded the possibility of making just one investment. Depending on the size of investments, they may be deemed to be reverse takeovers for the purposes of the AIM Rules, which would require Shareholder approval and re-admission of the Company, as enlarged by the acquisition, to trading on AIM.

In addition to paying the costs of the Company's ongoing expenses, the Company's cash resources will primarily be used to identify, evaluate and select suitable investment opportunities and to make investments, either in part or in full, as applicable. The Directors consider that as investments are made, or promising new investment opportunities arise, further funding of the Company will be required and they anticipate further equity fundraisings by the Company. Subject to prevailing authorities to issue new Ordinary Shares or, if required, with Shareholder approval, new Ordinary Shares may be used as consideration, in whole or in part, for investments. The Company will not be subject to any borrowing or leverage limits. In order to mitigate investment risk, the Directors intend to carry out a thorough due diligence process in evaluating each potential investment including: site visits, analysis of financial, legal and operational aspects of each investment opportunity, meetings with management, risk analysis, review of corporate governance and anti-corruption procedures and the seeking of third party expert opinions and valuation reports where the Directors see fit.

The Directors will apply investment criteria including: the potential for capital growth and/or the potential for profit generation with a view to receiving dividend income over time, high attractiveness to potential buyers of the company in question in order to facilitate exits and a strong and experienced management team.

Given the time frame to fully maximise the value of an investment, the Board expects that investments will be held for the medium to long term, although short-term disposals of assets cannot be ruled out in exceptional or opportunistic circumstances. The Directors intend to re-invest the proceeds of disposals in accordance with the Company's Investing Policy unless, at the relevant time, the Directors believe that there are no suitable investment opportunities in which case the Directors will consider returning the proceeds to Shareholders in a tax efficient manner.

Cash held by the Company pending investment, reinvestment or distribution will be managed by the Company and placed in bank deposits or in capital guaranteed schemes offered by major global financial institutions, in order to protect the capital value of the Company's cash assets. The Company may, where appropriate, also enter into agreements or contracts in order to hedge against interest rate or currency risks. Investments are expected to be held by the Company or a subsidiary to be incorporated for the purpose of holding an investment.

Any material change to the Company's Investing Policy will only be made following the approval by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting. In addition, if the Company has not substantially implemented its Investing Policy within 18 months of Admission, the Company will seek the approval of Shareholders at its next annual general meeting for its Investing Policy and on annual bases thereafter until such time that its Investing Policy has been substantially implemented. If it appears unlikely that the Company's Investing Policy can be implemented at any time, the Directors will consider returning remaining funds to Shareholders.

The Directors will review the Investing Policy on an annual basis and will implement any non-material changes or variations as they consider fit. Details of any such non-material changes or variations will be announced as appropriate. Any material change or variation of the Investing Policy will be subject to the prior approval of Shareholders

Appreciation

I would like to thank all the hard work of my fellow Board members and staff, our advisers and of course our shareholders for their continuing support for AAA. I sincerely hope that the Company will continue to enjoy such support towards the development of the Group in the years to come.
