TIGER RESOURCE PLC ("Tiger" or the "Company")
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE
2018
Operations Review
Net Asset Value per share - 30 Jun 2018 - 0.69p / 31 Dec 2017 -
0.62p (30 June 2017 - 1.03p)
Total assets - 30 Jun 2018 GBP1.27M / 31 Dec 2017 - 1.17M (30
June 2017 - GBP1.42M)
The period under review has been volatile compared to more
recent reporting periods although global prosperity, company
earnings and a general "feel good" factor continue to prevail. The
underlying threats relating to the introduction of trade tariffs
has resulted in caution and consequently we have seen some level of
uneasiness in smaller cap stocks. The major indices have continued
to surge forward although the resource sector has not fully
participated in this upward trajectory in more recent months and
most major mining companies are trading lower compared to prior
period levels.
The threat of serious trade wars and the strong US Dollar have
again disrupted global economies although the key global indices
continue to "shrug off" this underlying threat. The investment
community is at a stage where just about every asset class is
aligned positively, a phenomenon which has not been historically
sustainable and the break-out of any one significant asset class
could result in further volatility in the foreseeable future. The
aforementioned philosophical comments may be challenged in the
corridors of Wall Street and in other major financial centres, but
the Board has no doubt that these factors can affect the
performance of smaller cap resource companies. Investors in the
junior resource sector tend to bank profits from investments on an
ongoing basis as opposed to taking a longer term view and this can
also result in a volatile environment, with investors at times
focusing on stocks with poor fundamentals trading for "casino type"
returns as opposed to investing in quality assets which have good
potential over a longer term horizon.
The aforementioned points produce a challenging backdrop for our
investment strategy. However, since the inception of Tiger, it has
never been the intention to join the herd but instead to back
assets which have good fundamentals together with strong and
experienced management able to develop and add value to projects to
deliver good medium-term returns. The current environment is
extremely positive for asset selection as opposed to stock
selection and as such we remain convinced that our proactive
participation in underlying investments is the best way forward and
our focus will remain on quality assets at the right valuation as
opposed to second guessing how individual shares might perform
against their peers in a volatile market.
During the period under review, Tiger sold 95,000 shares in
Rockrose Energy Plc ("Rockrose") realising net proceeds of
GBP341,354 realising a net gain of GBP293,854 and received a
special dividend of GBP142,500 which was paid out to qualifying
RockRose shareholders on 23 February 2018. The Company made an
investment of GBP250,000 in Bezant Resources Plc which has a major
porphyry Copper project in the Philippines; this asset is well
defined and positioned compared to similar sized projects held by
its peer groups. Further investments were made in Block Energy Plc
and Corrallian Energy Limited positioning the portfolio to benefit
from the improving prospects in the energy sector.
Although the net asset valuation reflects only a marginal
improvement in the six months period to 30 June 2018, mainly due to
relatively volatile markets and general bearishness towards the
resource sector in recent months, we are confident that the mix of
investments currently held by Tiger and our proactive investment
approach will pay off going forward. We would like to thank our
stakeholders for their resilience and support during the period
under review and we will focus our efforts on increasing the
Company's asset base during the second half of 2018.
By order of the Board.

principal accounting policies of the Group are set out below. The
financial statements have been prepared using policies based on
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the

3. Deferred Tax
A deferred tax asset on revaluation of AFS investments arose
during the period. However, deferred tax assets are not recognised
due to the unpredictability of future profit streams arising from
the disposal of investments held by the Group. Losses may be
carried forward indefinitely and will only be recoverable if
suitable profits arise in the future.
