Interim Report for the period ended 30 June 2016

Silver Falcon Plc announces its unaudited interim results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016.

Highlights

·  Successfully admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 9th November 2015

·  Raised £1.5m cash (gross) through the issue of 64.9m new ordinary shares

·  Cash balance at 30 June 2016 was £1.2m

Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present the Interim Report for the six months ended 30^th June 2016.  During the period the Company made a loss of £174,936 (six months to 31 August 2015: loss of £80,367) which is mainly attributable to professional fees incurred on the proposed acquisition of Lime Holdings Limited as announced at the end of last year and general administration expenses. 

Whilst the Board is unable to update shareholders on the status of any negotiations at this stage, it remains confident that it can complete a transaction that will be beneficial to all shareholders.  The Board considers that there will not be any detrimental effect to its ability to close a transaction as a result of Brexit.  I would like to reassure shareholders that an announcement will be made to the market as soon as circumstances allow. 

Geoffrey Dart

Executive Chairman

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

1.   Basis of preparation

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

Cyclicality

The interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending 31 December 2016. Due to the nature of the entity, the operations are not affected by seasonal variations at this stage

2.   Financial Information

The interim results for the period 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Directors the interim results for the period presents fairly the financial position, and results from operations and cash flows for the period in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The interim results incorporate unaudited comparative figures for the interim period 1 March 2015 to 31 August 2015 and extracts from the audited financial statements for the period to 31 December 2015. The Company changed its accounting reference date during 2015 and on the basis that the Company's activity is not seasonal has decided to include comparatives for the interim results of the immediately preceding financial period.

The interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006.  It has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in preparing the interim financial information are consistent with those that have been adopted in the Company's 2015 audited financial statements. Statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 were approved by the Board of Directors on 5 May 2016 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

Risks and uncertainties

The key risks that could affect the Company's short and medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Company's 2015 audited financial statements, a copy of which is available on the Company's website: http://www.silverfalconplc.com. The Company's key risk is the maintenance of its reserves of cash and cash equivalents whilst it targets an acquisition following its listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Accounting Policies

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company, the Directors do not believe there to be any material critical accounting estimates and judgements that were used in preparing these financial statements.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures.

New and amended standards adopted by the Company:

There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year commencing 1 January 2016 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

The financial information for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016 and the 6 months ended 31 August 2015 has not been audited.

3.   Trade and Other Receivables

	30 June 2016 Unaudited	31 August 2015 Unaudited	31 December 2015 Audited

Unpaid share capital	-	62,500	-
Prepayments	4,000		2,750
	49,169	62,500	31,167

 

The fair value of all receivables is the same as their carrying values stated above.

At 30 June 2016 all trade and other receivables were fully performing, and therefore do not require impairment. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above. The Company does not hold any collateral as security.
