Interim Management Report

Dear Shareholders

Tertre Rouge Assets PLC (the "Company") was formed to undertake an acquisition of a target company or business or asset(s) that are in or otherwise focused on or ancillary to the collectible automobile sector. This could include physical automobile assets and/or companies, businesses or assets with technology and/or services relevant to the collectible automobile sector.

The Company's shares were admitted to trading on the standard list of the London Stock Exchange's main market on 13 July 2022 ("Admission"). Even though the Company has only been publicly quoted for a relatively short period of time, the board of directors of the Company ("Board" or "Directors", as the context requires) has been active in executing the Company's objectives as outlined in the prospectus published in connection with Admission.

The Company's determinations in identifying a prospective target company or business or asset(s) in the collectible automobile sector has not been limited to a particular geographic region except that it has avoided countries with significant geopolitical or economic risks.

Since Admission, the Company has been actively seeking suitable acquisition opportunities. We have reviewed several opportunities spanning businesses operating in the collectible motorcar sector, as well as physical assets of investment-grade collectible motorcars. Our review has confirmed the Board's belief that this sector is a robust preserver of value.

Importantly, the Company is now in an enviable position to exploit certain of the opportunities which it has assessed for the benefit of its shareholders. Consequently, on 27 July 2023, the Company announced that it had agreed heads of terms relating to certain proposed asset and share purchase acquisitions (as outlined in Note 7 below) (together, the "Acquisitions"). This resulted in the Company requesting that its shares be suspended from 27 July 2023, pending the completion of the Acquisitions.

The Acquisitions meet our stated objective to become a global player in the collectible automobile sector and generate an attractive rate of return for our shareholders. A tremendous amount of work has been expended to identify the high-quality portfolio of targets comprised within the Acquisitions and we look forward to completing this transformative transaction and our shares being readmitted to trading as soon as possible.

Whilst the due diligence process and transactional phase for each of the Acquisitions is progressing well, as explained in our announcement of 9 November 2023, there can be no guarantee that either the due diligence will not identity material previously undisclosed liabilities which results in the Company deciding not to proceed to completion or that the Company can raise the required level of funding to be able to successfully complete them.

I look forward to communicating with you further as events unfold.

Steven Schapera

Non-Executive Chairman

General information

Tertre Rouge Assets PLC (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales. The interim condensed financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2023. The address of the Company's registered office is 48 Chancery Lane, c/o Keystone Law, London WC2A 1JF. The interim condensed financial statements of the Company were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 21 November 2023.

The interim condensed financial statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

1.1     Accounting convention

The interim financial statements are for the six months ended 30 September 2023 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. They do not include all the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

1.2                 Accounting policies, critical estimates, and judgements

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in the interim financial statements are in accordance with those adopted for the historical financial information included in the Company's prospectus dated 23 June 2022. The following additional critical estimates and judgements were made in the preparation of these interim financial statements:

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the process of applying the entity's accounting policies, management makes estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The directors have exercised a critical accounting judgement in their estimate of the extent to which the anticipated costs of the reverse take-over should be included in these interim financial statements and this is key source of estimation uncertainty. There are no other critical accounting judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainly relating to the financial information of the Company.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Diluted EPS is not separately calculated as the warrants would be anti-dilutive due to the loss.

The acquisition of the Cars is not interdependent.

As no binding agreements have yet been reached, either in relation to The Run To Group Limited or the Car listed in (e) above, and given that each acquisition is or will be conditional on Readmission, and the fundraising to be completed concurrent therewith (as set out in the announcement dated 27 July 2023), the Company cannot guarantee that the proposed acquisitions (or any part of them) will complete.
