CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The Board has continued to be active in the identification and evaluation of investment opportunities in various sectors towards the objective of an acquisition that drives creation of value for stakeholders. 

Placement

The Board was pleased to announce on 8 January 2016 the placement by the Company of 40,000,000 new Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each in the Company at a price of 0.5p per share, to a new strategic investor, to raise £200,000 for working capital purposes. 

Mogul Ventures Corp. Investment

The Company holds 5 million shares in Mogul Ventures Corp. ("Mogul"), a private company focused on natural resources in Mongolia, principally in tin.   Reabold's holding in Mogul amounts to a 4.2% undiluted interest.

On 29 April 2016, Knowlton Capital Inc ("Knowlton"), a TSX-V listed company, announced the termination of the agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mogul to pursue another reverse take-over transaction.  Notwithstanding the termination of the transaction with Knowlton, the management and key stakeholders in Mogul remain positive towards Mogul's future in the public markets under improved market conditions. Mogul is in discussions as to alternative financing routes, including other listed shell companies with the prerequisite cash.

In Q4 2015, Mogul conducted a drilling program to collect samples for metallurgical test work at Mogul's Oortsog Ovoo tin-polymetallic project. Mogul believes the program will be important in significantly de-risking the project.  Composite samples have been delivered to the ALS Burnie laboratory in Tasmania to assay samples and conduct magnetic and gravity separation trials.  Mogul has been informed that the mineralization has very little sulfides so there will most likely be no need for flotation. Steinert Australia will conduct pre-concentration trials as well as a separate magnetic separation trials using their equipment.  

Financial Review

The loss of the Company for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016 was £55,000 (2015: loss of £34,000) in line with expectations. The net assets as at 30 June 2016 were £569,000 (2015: £294,000). 

As at 30 June 2016, the Company had cash of £384,000. 

Outlook

Having successfully raised further capital, the Board is moving forward positively to drive shareholder value through the investment strategy.  Whilst the Board believes there are positive cyclical investment opportunities in resources stocks, they may be subject to significant volatility in financial markets and commodity prices, as well as other potential risk areas, including operational, geological, environmental, sovereign issues and access to capital.  The Board will evaluate investment opportunities in other sectors as they arise.  The Board is positive towards the outlook for quality investment opportunities.

The Board looks forward to reporting further in due course.

This report was approved by the Board and signed on its behalf:

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1.     Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements have been prepared using policies based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as adopted for use in the EU. They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report. The financial information for the half years ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and is unaudited.

The annual financial statements of Reabold Resources Plc are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2015 included within this report does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The statutory Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on that Annual Report and Financial Statement for 2015 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company have adequate resources and support from key shareholders to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the half-yearly financial statements.

The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in these condensed financial statements as were applied in the Company's latest annual audited financial statements, with additional information in respect of significant accounting policies disclosed below.

The IASB has issued a number of IFRS and IFRIC amendments or interpretations since the last annual report was published. It is not expected that any of these will have a material impact on the Company.
