Tanfield Group Plc
("Tanfield" or "the Company")
Interim Results for the six-month period to 30 June 2022
Tanfield, an investing company as defined by AIM Rules,
announces its half year results for the period ending 30 June 2022.
The unaudited financial information will shortly be available on
the Company website at www.tanfieldgroup.com .
Background
-- Tanfield is a 49% shareholder in the equity of Snorkel
International Holdings LLC ("Snorkel") following the joint venture
between the Company and Xtreme Manufacturing LLC ("Xtreme") (the
"Contemplated Transaction"), a company owned by Don Ahern of Ahern
Rentals Inc, relating to Snorkel, in October 2013 .
-- T he Snorkel investment is valued at GBP19.1m. The outcome of
the US and UK Proceedings referenced below could have an impact on
this valuation.
-- On 22 October 2019, the Company announced that it had
received a Summons and Complaint, filed in Nevada (the "US
Proceedings") by subsidiaries of Xtreme, relating to the
Contemplated Transaction .
-- On 24 October 2019, the Company announced it had become
necessary to issue and serve a claim in the English High Court
against Ward Hadaway (the "UK Proceedings"), the solicitor acting
for the Company at the time of the Contemplated Transaction, in
order to fully protect the Company's rights pending the outcome of
the US Proceedings.
-- On 26 February 2021, Ward Hadaway was granted permission to
join Foulston Siefkin, Tanfield's US based law firm who were
retained in 2013 to draft the documents governed by US law relating
to the Contemplated Transaction, into the UK Proceedings. As a
result, the Company amended its claim to include Foulston Siefkin
as a second defendant.
-- The Company's operating loss in H1 2022 increased to GBP311k
(H1 2021: GBP187k) as a consequence of increased legal fees during
the period, with the retained loss for the period increasing
further to GBP499k (H1 2021: GBP268k) as a consequence of increased
finance expense.
-- The Board believe that further loan funding may be necessary
to ensure that the Company continues to protect its investment in
Snorkel. As announced on 24 August 2022, the Company continues to
receive the support of its Shareholders via loan note subscriptions
in order to provide the necessary funding for its day-to-day
running costs, including the ongoing costs of the US and UK
Proceedings, and the Board are of the opinion that further funding
will be made available.
Overview of investments
As announced on 24 August 2022, during the first 6 months of
2022 Snorkel has continued to recover from the impact of the global
COVID-19 pandemic and has seen sales in the first 6 months increase
to US$88.6m, up from US$71.7m for the same period in 2021. Further
information relating to the recent performance of Snorkel can be
found in the 24 August 2022 announcement.
The Board confirm that both the US and UK Proceedings are
continuing to progress and that the Board believes a positive
outcome to either/both proceedings is possible. So far as it is
necessary, the Company will continue to vigorously defend and
advance its position in both proceedings, whilst continuing to seek
advice.
Further updates will be provided to Shareholders as and when
appropriate.

1 Basis of preparation
The Interim Report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June
2022 has been prepared in accordance with AIM Rule 18 and not in
accordance with IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting" therefore is
not fully in compliance with IFRS.
The half year report does not constitute financial statements as
defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and does not include
all of the information and disclosures required for full annual
statements. It should be read in conjunction with the annual report
and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which
is available on request from the Company's registered office, c/o
Weightmans LLP, 1 St James' Gate, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE99 1YQ
or can be downloaded from the corporate website www.tanfieldgroup.com.
2 Accounting Policies
Impact of accounting standards to be applied in future periods
There are a number of standards and interpretations which have
been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that
are effective for periods beginning subsequent to 31 December 2022
that the Group has decided not to adopt early. The Group does not
believe these standards and interpretations will have a material
impact on the financial statements once adopted.
