RED LEOPARD HOLDINGS PLC

("Red Leopard", the "Company" or the "Group")

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015

Red Leopard presents the unaudited interim accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

During the period, the Company announced in January 2015 that further in the Idora Tunnel (the "Tunnel"), rock falls had been discovered which hindered access to the ore body and any sampling thereof. Due to the Health & Safety complexities arising from these rock falls, the cost of commencing a work programme at the Tunnel increased beyond the Company's original budget. Winter weather in the first part of the year also curtailed progress. The Company further announced that it would have to secure additional funding to be able to commence with its clearance of the Tunnel.

We are pleased to report that, as announced in August 2015, the Company raised a total of GBP175,000 before expenses through a placing of 175,000,000 ordinary shares with new investors, the net proceeds of which will enable the Company to access and clear the Idora Tunnel for the purposes of exploration and testing on its mining claims. The Company remains committed to completing this project and is now waiting for revised work quotes from local mining engineers. This process has been delayed due to severe forest fires in Idaho which have closed the relevant access roads, however the fires have recently subsided and the Company hopes that progress at the Tunnel can now be made. The placing has also provided the Company with additional working capital.

Throughout, the Company continues to be proactive in exploring and considering other complimentary resource assets and opportunities

A copy of the interim results will be available on the Company's website

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

   1        Nature of operations and general information 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

Red Leopard Holdings plc is focussed on the natural resources sector (both exploration and production), with a particular emphasis on precious mining assets and interests.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Financial overview and performance

Loss for the group before tax for the period was GBP113,981 (2014: GBP80,662).

Strategy

The Company' strategy is to adhere to its investing policy focussed on natural resources.

Investing Policy

The investing policy is to pursue investments in the natural recourses sector, and in particular, precious metals.

The Directors are initially focussed on North and South America, where the Directors believe that a number of opportunities exist to acquire interests in suitable projects. Investments may be made in exploration, development and/or producing assets.

The Directors may consider it appropriate to purchase companies or interests in assets which may result in an equity interest in any proposed investment ranging from a minority position to 100 per cent ownership. Proposed investments may be made in either quoted or unquoted companies and structured as a direct acquisition, joint venture or a direct interest in a project.

Where necessary, the Company may seek participation in the management or with the board of directors of an entity in which the Company invests; or in the event that it is acquired then in the on-going enlarged entity.

New investments will be held for the medium to longer term; although shorter term disposal of any investments cannot be ruled out should such an opportunity present itself.

There is no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, and the Company's financial resources may be invested in a number of propositions or just one, which may be deemed to be a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Where the Company builds a portfolio of related assets it is possible that there may be cross-holdings between such assets. The Company does not currently intend to fund any investments with debt or other borrowings but may do so if appropriate.

The Directors undertake initial project assessments themselves with additional independent technical advice as required. The Company does not have a separate investment manager.

The Directors may offer new Ordinary Shares by way of consideration as well as cash subject to its availability to the Company. The Company may in appropriate circumstances, issue debt securities or otherwise borrow money to complete an investment. The Directors do not intend to acquire any cross-holdings in other corporate entities that have an interest in the Ordinary Shares.

   3      Earnings per share 

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

The calculation of diluted loss per share is based on the basic loss per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares and the post tax effect of dividends and/or interest, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Reconciliations of the loss and weighted average number of shares used in the calculations are set out below.
