CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I have the pleasure of presenting your Company's Half-Year Report for the six months ended 30 June 2016. The first half of 2016 has been a period of transition for the Company as it completed the disposal of its Talas Mining interests located in the Kyrgyz Republic and became a "cash shell" for the purposes of the AIM Rules and has until 1 December 2016 to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules or otherwise seek readmission as an "investing company" with the attendant requirement to raise at least £6.0 million on or immediately before such readmission.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support received from its shareholders both in the form of additional funding and deferring the repayment of the outstanding loan balance. This is further set out in the Going Concern section of the notes to the financial statements

The focus for the board during the second half of 2016 is to make an acquisition that will constitute a reverse takeover and introduce a new business in the Company that has the possibility of ultimately yielding returns for its shareholders. The Board will update shareholders as there is progress on any possible reverse takeover targets.

 

Kindest regards,

 

 

 

PETER MOSS

Chairman

Notes to the Financial statements

 

1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The financial information is drawn in accordance with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union. The financial information is presented in US dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A comprehensive summary of the significant accounting policies is provided for in the Tengri Resources (Tengri or the Company) 2015 Annual Report. A number of the significant accounting policies in the 2015 Annual Report have been repeated below due to their importance on this Half Year Report.

Consolidation

As at 31 December 2015 management concluded that the Company had lost operational control of the Kyrgyz companies operating in the Kyrgyz Republic.

A subsidiary of the Company is an entity for which the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. As the Company did not control the Kyrgyz companies at 31 December 2015 these are not considered to be subsidiaries of the Company at that date.

Due to the Kyrgyz companies ceasing to be treated as subsidiaries in the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company has prepared individual company interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2016.

As these are the separate financial statements of Tengri, the 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2015 comparatives provide information on the financial position and performance for Tengri only.

In these financial statements, the comparatives for the investments in the Kyrgyz Republic were treated as investments in subsidiaries until the point that control was lost, at which point these were held as available for sale investments.

Going Concern

During the period the Company divested its shareholdings in the Kyrgyz companies for total consideration of US$6.000 million (net consideration of US$4.447 million).

These funds have been utilised by the Company to finalise a settlement with Gold Fields Oregon Holdings BVI Limited (Goldfields) and to repay the TIH Limited (TIH) and Argyle Street Management Limited (ASML) loan notes. The Company also partly repaid the Robust Resources Limited (Robust) loan note.

Further funds will be required to fund existing levels of corporate overheads and to repay the outstanding principal owing to Robust.

These factors indicate that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support received from its shareholders both in the form of additional funding and deferring the repayment of the outstanding loan balance.

Notwithstanding the above, the Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis having regard to the following factors:

· Tengri has significantly reduced expenses as a result of divesting the Kyrgyz companies;

· Tengri has sufficient cash at the date of signing the financial statements to pay its trade creditors on normal commercial terms; and

· Tengri and Robust intend to use their best efforts to negotiate and effect a solvent restructuring of the outstanding loan note balance.

Should the Company not be able to manage the inherent uncertainties referred to above, there would be significant uncertainty as to whether the Company would be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due and thus continue as a going concern. The Directors believe that there is a reasonable prospect of a solvent restructuring being agreed and implemented with Robust and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

If the Company is unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the values of the assets to their recoverable amounts, provide for further liabilities that might arise and reclassify non-current assets as current assets.

During the period the Company entered into a conditional agreement with Socagest to sell its Kyrgyz assets relating to the Taldybulak and Andash projects for US$6.000 million. The sale provided that Tengri use US$0.553 million of the sales proceeds to repay trade creditor balances relating to its subsidiaries that formed part of the sale. The sale was completed on 31 May 2016. At the same time the Company and its majority shareholder Robust entered into an agreement with Goldfields to settle all ongoing and future obligations owed to Goldfields in respect of the Kyrgyz projects for a consideration of US$1.000 million. This allowed the Company to complete a full and clean exit from its activities in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Financial derivative liability

The convertible note liabilities issued by the Company contain an embedded option to convert the debt to ordinary shares. The embedded options have been separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative as the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. The embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in value being recorded in profit or loss.

During the period the ASML and TIH convertible note liabilities were repaid in full. As a result of the repayment the financial derivative recognised at inception for the ASML and TIH convertible notes has been fair valued at $nil with the movement taken to the profit and loss.

During the period the Company also partly repaid US$2.250 million of the outstanding principal owing to Robust. The fair value of the embedded derivative related to the residual Robust convertible note (US$0.750 million) has been assessed at $nil. The Company has determined the fair value to be $nil based on the following:

· Tengri's closing share price was at reporting date was 1.825p. This compares to the conversion price of 5.000p;

· The Company has a shareholder deficit at reporting date of US$0.661 million; and

· At reporting date the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the financial support received from its shareholders both in the form of additional funding and deferring the repayment of the outstanding loan balance.
