(Incorporated in the Bermuda with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8186)

2015 INTERIM RESULTS

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM is positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached other than companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.

This announcement, for which the board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of IR Resources Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM (the “GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and beliefs: (1) the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading; (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this announcement misleading.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Rules”) and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 (HKAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the 2014 annual consolidated financial statements.

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting period beginning on 1 January 2015. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”); Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs will have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

As at 30 June 2015, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$2.4 million and recorded net current liabilities of approximately HK$130.3 million. The Directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group would be able to continue as a going concern and to meet in full their financial obligations as the Directors considered the following factors:

(a) Attainment of profitable operations and improvement of operating cash flows

(i) Forestry and agricultural segment

(1) In July 2015, the Company entered into a subscription agreement as supplemented by a supplemental agreement dated 30 September 2015 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with six subscribers (the “Subscribers”), who are independent third parties and have substantial experience in the timber industry with sales network. The relevant Subscribers (the “Timber Logging Subscribers”) will collaborate with a team of experienced personnel to establish an operating management team to revitalise the timber logging activities of the Group. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements,(a) the Company will undergo an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”); (b) the Timber Logging Subscribers will enter into working capital loan agreements with the Company, pursuant to which, the Timber Logging Subscribers will in aggregate provide an working capital loan up to HK$51,750,000 for the carrying out of the

8

Interim Report 2015 IR Resources Limited

timber logging activities; and (c) the Timber Logging Subscribers have guaranteed that for the six-month period immediately after completion of the Subscription Agreements,the six-month period commencing on the seventh month after completion of the Subscription Agreements and the twelve-month period commencing on the thirteen month after completion of the Subscription Agreements, revenue derived from the timber logging activities will not be less than HK$50,000,000, HK$50,000,000 and HK$100,000,000, respectively; and

(2)

In November 2015, the Group entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Plantation Cooperation Agreement”) with an experienced plantation operator (the “Plantation Partner”), which has substantial experience in the business of plantation and has operations in Southeast Asia. Pursuant to the Plantation Cooperation Agreement, the Plantation Partner will engage in the plantation business of the Group and, together with the relevant Subscribers (the “Plantation Subscribers”), will provide funding to carry out the plantation business of the three forests and will undertake that the annual plantation volume of each of the three forests will be no less than those required by the local registration under the investment contracts. In addition, the Plantation Partner and the Plantation Subscribers will compensate the Company any penalty imposed by the Cambodian government for reasons that the annual plantation volume cannot be met.

(ii) Disposal of associates

The Group had disposed of its loss-making associates (the “Associates”) which is engaged in the processing and distribution of basic goods for a cash consideration of HK$2,500,000 in August 2015.

(b) Loan facilities

In November 2014, the Company entered into a loan facility agreement with its related company (“RC”, with a director of the Company was also a sole director and sole shareholder of RC who (i) resigned as a sole director of RC; and (ii) disposed of all equity interests in RC on 14 November 2014. RC ceased to be a related company of the Company since then) for a loan amount up to HK$25,000,000 (the “RC Loan”). As 30 June 2015, the Group had withdrawn approximately HK$8,600,000 (note 11). The lender has agreed not to demand for repayment until the completion of the fund raising exercise after the shares of the Company have been resumed for trading and the Company is in a position to do so.

(c) Rights issue

On 24 February 2016, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with an underwriter to raise fund of approximately HK$262 million (before expenses) by way of a rights issue (the “Rights Issue”), which, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions precedent pursuant to the underwriting agreement, is expected to be completed in May 2016, for purposes of general working capital and debt repayment.

IR Resources Limited Interim Report 2015

(d) Further funding from the Timber Logging Subscribers, the Plantation Partner and Plantation Subscribers

As mentioned above, the working capital loans provided by the Timber Logging Subscribers and further funding provided by the Plantation Partner and the Plantation Subscribers will be applied to carry out the plantation business of the three forests.

In light of all the measures adopted and arrangements implemented, the Group will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financial requirements, the Directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the Group’s financial and liquidity position as at 30 June 2015. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to restate the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services and has the following reportable operating segments:

  • (a) the forestry and agricultural segment is the timber logging, plantation and sales of wood and agricultural products;

  • (b) the resources and logistics segment is the provision of resources and logistics business; and

  • (c) the basic goods business segment is the processing and distribution of basic goods which had been discontinued during the year ended 31 December 2014.

Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment loss, which is a measure of adjusted loss before tax from continuing operations. The adjusted loss before tax from continuing operations is measured consistently with the Group’s loss before tax from continuing operations except that interest income and finance costs, as well as head office and corporate expenses are excluded from such measurement.

Segment assets exclude unallocated head office and corporate assets as these assets are managed on a group basis.

Segment liabilities exclude unallocated head office and corporate liabilities as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

The calculations of the basic and diluted loss per share for the three months and the six months ended 30 June 2015 are based on the loss attributable to equity holders of the Company being HK$8.7 million (2014: HK$9.1 million) and HK$18.1 million (2014: HK$19.5 million), respectively, divided by the weighted average number of 2,623,950,965 ordinary shares for the three months and the six months ended 30 June 2015 (2014: 2,623,950,965 ordinary shares) in issue during the relevant periods.

No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the three months and the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the share options outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.
