TIGER ROYALTIES AND INVESTMENTS PLC ("Tiger" or the "Company")

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2023

Chairman's Report

Dear Shareholder,

Net Asset Value per share - 30 Jun 2023: 0. 05p / 31 Dec 2022: 0.09p (30 June 2022: 0.12p )

Total net assets - 30 Jun 2023: GBP248k / 31 Dec 2022: GBP496k (30 June 2022: GBP542k)

In my last Chairman's report, I made modestly upbeat comments about the changing mood of smaller company investors moving into 2023 and beyond. However, I am disappointed to note that this assessment did not materialise in the way I had envisaged at the time and that in fact the micro-cap company investor arena has deteriorated significantly since that time and the outlook remains somewhat uncertain.

The period under review has suffered from what is probably one of the worst market scenarios I have witnessed during my years in the natural resource sector. This is of course compounded by the fact that there is a preference of investors to invest directly into individual companies as opposed to deploying funds in umbrella investment companies and hence interest in smaller cap funds has waned.

Consequently, we are pleased that we elected some years ago to be more proactive and develop positions where we had some influence in the underlying investee company's strategy alongside holding a relatively larger equity position in these types of investments. Whilst this has provided a more focused portfolio of assets, value is yet to be recognised given the gloomy state of the market for junior mining and commodity stocks. We remain optimistic on some of the investments held in the portfolio and I feel that in some cases fundamentals significantly outweigh current stock market values and, when sentiment returns, we will see the fundamental strength of these underlying assets.

We live in a very uncertain world with unprecedented financial and geopolitical headwinds, exacerbated by new media and extreme political manoeuvring predominantly resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. During violent times, alliances and allegiances can be transient, thus not helping the confidence and certainty that is sought by the investing community, a trait that is needed to promote stronger junior resource markets.

The major markets however seem to be holding their own, despite the negative global pressures, although there a reasonable amount of volatility. Share prices of the major mining and energy producers have certainly come off their highs, as seen post the initial Covid market rally.

We remain confident on the fundamentals for base metals, particularly for copper and battery metals. We also remain confident of an emergence of third world and developing economies where disposable income is increasing and the thirst to have white goods, cars, and mobile gadgets continues at a rapid pace, pointing to increasing demand for these goods and hence for materials in the foreseeable future. The supply side for copper is becoming dismal and I firmly believe that any junior mining companies fortunate enough to have near production assets in their portfolios will become very valuable investments in the next two to three years. If the major mining companies are slow in acquiring these types of companies, then family offices and perhaps the motor industry will look at building positions in junior commodity companies with quality assets, the latter grouping in order to secure their supply lines for the rapidly developing EV market.

To summarise, in contrast to the aforementioned concerns, we firmly believe, more than ever, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that a commodity boom cycle revolution is in the making. The Company's management team will continue to seek out positions and investments where the underlying assets are well positioned and there is scope for value add and we strongly believe that such opportunities will emerge as a result of the changing economic conditions.

This has been our strategy for some years, and it is our hope and belief that we will see significant upside in the portfolio value over the next 12 months.

Selected notes to the financial statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2023

   1.            Basis of preparation 

These interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared by applying the accounting policies adopted in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 and should be read in conjunction with the 2022 annual report. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The financial information set out in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2022, were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

   3.            Dividends 

No dividends were declared during the period under review (30 June 2022: nil).

   4.            Current liabilities 

The current liability figure of GBP246,516 (2022: GBP140,758) includes an accrual of GBP108,628 (2022: GBP68,934 ) - relating to Directors' salaries/fees for 12 months ended 30 June 2023. The current liability figure also includes a creditor of GBP96,000 (2022:GBP33,000) payable to Lion Mining Finance, which is a related party.

   5.            Deferred Tax 

A deferred tax asset on revaluation of 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 Company. Losses may be carried forward indefinitely and will only be recoverable if suitable profits arise in the future.

   6.            Called Up Share Capital 

The share capital of Tiger Royalties and Investments Plc consists only of fully paid ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.1p each. All Ordinary shares are equally eligible to receive dividends and the repayment of capital and represent one vote at the shareholders' meeting of the Company.

                    -----------  ---------  ------------  ------------- 
 

There were no warrants outstanding on 30 June 2022

   8.            Going concern 

The operations of the Company have been financed mainly through operating cash flows. As at 30 June 2023, the Company held cash balances of GBP69,874 (30 June 2022: GBP10,424) and an operating loss has been reported for the 6 months ended 30 June 2023. Historically, the Company has generated cash flow from the sale of investments in quoted natural resource companies. The Company's financial investments at 30 June 2023 were GBP404,862. It is possible, as a result of volatile markets, that the Company may need to raise funding to provide additional working capital to finance its ongoing activities. The management team has successfully raised funding for similar projects and companies in the past although there is no guarantee that adequate funds will be available when needed in the future.

Based on its current reserves and the Board's assessment that the Company should be able to raise additional funds when required to meet its working capital requirements, the Board has concluded that it has a reasonable expectation that the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Board confirms that Directors' fees will continue to accrue or be paid in shares (subject to AIM rules and other regulatory issues) until the Company undertakes either a fundraise and has sufficient excess working capital to settle such fees, or is involved in a significant transaction which would significantly uplift the prospects for the Company. For these reasons, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

   9.            Post-reporting date 

No adjusting or significant non-adjusting events have occurred between the reporting date and the date of release of the Company's interim financials.

   10.          Availability of Interim Report 

A copy of these interim results will be available from the Company's registered office during normal business hours on any weekday at 2nd Floor, 7/8 Kendrick Mews, London SW7 3HG, and can also be downloaded from the Company's website at http://www.tiger-rf.com/.
