Chairman's and Chief Executive's Review

Introduction

We are pleased to announce the interim consolidated financial results for Livermore Investments Group Limited (the "Company" or "Livermore") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

During the first half of 2016, the Group generated net income of USD 6.18m (30 June 2015: USD 1.96m), which represents earnings per share of USD 0.03 (30 June 2014: USD 0.01). The NAV of the Group as of 30 June 2016 was USD 0.86 per share. During the reporting period, management continued to actively manage the financial portfolio and optimized exposure to US credit markets, which continues to provide attractive risk adjusted returns.

Wyler Park, our investment property in Bern, Switzerland performed well, generating over CHF 2.7m in rent during the period. The property is fully rented. Valuation of Wyler Park has remained stable.

Financial Review

The NAV of the Group as at 30 June 2016 was USD 150.2m (30 June 2015: 157.8m). The profit after tax for the first half of 2016 was USD 6.18m, which represents earnings per share of USD 0.03. The performance relates largely to the CLO portfolio and net income from Wyler Park offset by write downs on certain investments.

Livermore's Strategy

The financial portfolio is focused on fixed income instruments which generate regular cash flows and include exposure mainly to senior secured and usually broadly syndicated US loans and to a limited extent emerging market debt through investments in CLOs. This part of the portfolio is geographically focused on the US.

The remaining portfolio is focused on Switzerland and Asia with investments primarily in real estate and selected private equity opportunities. Investments are focused on sectors that Management believes will provide robust growth over the mid to long term with strong current cash flows.

Strong emphasis is given to maintaining sufficient liquidity and low leverage at the overall portfolio level and to re-invest in existing and new investments along the economic cycle.

Repurchase of shares

Between 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016, the Company repurchased 17,475,585 shares at an average price of USD 0.45 (£0.34) per share. On 30 June 2016, the Company held 129,306,403 shares in treasury. No additional shares were purchased between 30 June 2016 and before the beginning of the interim closed period.

Dividends

No dividends are declared for the period ended 30 June 2016.

The Board of Directors will decide on the Company's dividend policy for 2016 based on profitability, liquidity requirements, portfolio performance, market conditions, and the share price of the Group relative to its NAV.

Review of Activities

Economic & Investment Environment

Global economic growth at the beginning of 2016 was weaker than expected. Global trade and manufacturing remained sluggish contributing to a further drop in oil prices. Contrary to expectations, low oil prices so far provided only a modest stimulus to household consumer spending in most countries. Growth prospects worsened in oil producing countries, including the US. Financial markets experienced significant volatility and risky assets declined in value as investors weighed probability of an economic downturn at the same time as the US Federal Reserve indicated raising interest rates. The turbulence in financial markets subsided in late February as central banks in developed economies pledged additional monetary easing and the US Federal Reserve dialled back interest rate increase expectations. While still anaemic, global economic activity eventually stabilized and continued to grow moderately in the second quarter of 2016. Financial markets recovered significantly and risk-premia compressed as the European Central Bank (ECB) announced its corporate sector purchase programme.

US GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.1% in the second quarter after a growth of 0.8% in the first quarter. Private consumption temporarily slowed, despite higher levels of disposable income. Investment in fixed assets receded and further investment cuts in the energy sector due to the low oil price had a particularly dampening effect. Labour market conditions in the US, however, continued to improve with the unemployment rate at 4.9% as of June 2016, although the pace of improvement has declined as the economy reaches closer to full employment. While labour compensation has shown some tentative signs of acceleration, wage inflation continues to stay low given lacklustre productivity growth and some remaining slack in the labour market. Overall inflation also stayed low on account of higher US Dollar and low commodity prices.

The economic recovery in the euro area continued, driven by domestic demand, while foreign demand growth remained weak. Domestic demand was supported by monetary policy measures. Their favourable impact on financing conditions, together with improvements in corporate profitability, benefitted investment. Inflation in the euro area remained low with little wage pressures and low oil and commodity prices. Despite the accommodative monetary policy stance, economic recovery in the euro area is still dampened by ongoing balance sheet adjustments in a number of sectors, the insufficient pace of implementation of structural reforms in some countries and subdued growth prospects in emerging markets. The risks to the euro area growth outlook remain tilted to the downside, especially after the UK's decision to leave the euro zone.

Global financial markets experienced significant volatility and price declines at the beginning of the year as they digested the first US interest rate increase since the financial crisis and guidance of another four increases in 2016 in parallel with growing concerns about the global economy, The S&P 500 Index fell 10.5% and the EuroStoxx 50 Index declined by 18% from the start of the year to mid-February. US high yield markets continued to widen out as defaults from the energy sector increased with falling oil prices and fears of a spill-over in the other sectors took hold. Global central banks pledged additional monetary policy easing to stabilize financial markets with the European Central Bank's corporate sector purchase programme leading the way. The US Federal Reserve also ratcheted back their rate increase expectations and several developed market central banks delved further into negative interest rate territory. The financial markets recovered subsequently with the S&P 500 Index rising over 14% and the EuroStoxx 50 Index increasing by 6.8% by the end of June 2016. US credit markets also recovered sharply as fixed income investors facing over 10 trillion dollars of negative interest rate sovereign bonds were forced to look for yield elsewhere. Oil and other commodity prices also increased on the back of stable data from China and the positive sentiment in financial markets.

High yield and leveraged loans markets continued to experience high volatility as the spectre of higher US interest rates and exposure to energy and commodity issuers dampened investor sentiment. From the start of the year to the trough, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index was down 1.5% but recovered sharply as global downturn fears subsided and risk-adjusted returns became quite attractive. From the trough to the end of June, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned 6.1%. During the first six months of the year, new issue US leveraged loan volume decreased to USD 128.1 billion from USD 141.2 billion a year earlier. Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) issuance was markedly muted in the first half of the year with total issuance of USD 26.2 billion versus USD 59.9 billion for the same period last year.

Wyler Park - Switzerland

Wyler Park is a top quality mixed-use property located in Bern, Switzerland. It has over 16,800 square meters of commercial area, 4,100 square meters of residential area, and another 7,100 square meters available for additional commercial development. The commercial part is leased until 2029 to SBB (AAA rated), the Swiss national train transportation authority wholly owned by the Swiss Confederation, and serves as the headquarters of their Passenger Traffic division. The commercial lease is 100% linked to inflation. The annual rental income from the commercial area of the project is CHF 4.36m (USD 4.43m).

The entire residential property remains fully rented. The annual rental income expected from the residential area is CHF 1.04m (USD 1.06m).

The property generated rent of CHF 2.70m (USD 2.74m) during the first half of 2016.

Livermore is the sole owner of Wyler Park through its wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, Livermore Investments AG. The outstanding principal of the loan facility is CHF 75.9m (USD 77.6m). The facility is committed until at least 30 June 2019. The loan is a non-recourse loan to Livermore Investments AG backed only by this property.

Management continues to evaluate the potential development of the additional commercial development rights of 7,100 square meters attached to the property.

SRS Charminar - India

Livermore invested USD 20m in 2008 in a leading Indian Real Estate company, in association with SRS Private and other investors as part of a total investment of USD 132.1m. In 2009, the promoters of the investee company were arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating, and misappropriation of funds. Later it was discovered that the investee company had breached the terms of the investment agreement resulting in a default. On 13 January 2011 the Company Law Board ("CLB") passed an order and allowed Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited ("IL&FS") to become an 80% shareholder and control the management of the investee company. SRS Charminar and other investors have agreed to a settlement with IL&FS wherein the settlement amount will be paid in four tranches over five years. In 2015, Livermore received the first tranche in the amount of USD 2.9m and the second tranche is expected later in 2016. While the third and fourth tranches are scheduled to be paid in 2019, it is anticipated to be rescheduled given delays in the project underlying the third tranche.

The carrying amount of the investment is based on discounted expected cash flows and as of period-end was USD 5.8m (December 2015: USD 7.1m).

Financial Portfolio and trading activity

The Group manages a financial portfolio valued at USD 91.1m (net of leverage) as at 30 June 2016, which is invested mainly in US credit and fixed income securities.

The following is a table summarizing the financial portfolio as at 30 June 2016

Name	30 June 2016 Book Value US $m	30 June 2015 Book Value US $m	31 December 2015 Book Value US $m

*this figure includes USD 6m (December 2015: USD 5m) which the Company invested during the period in the first loss tranche of a warehouse facility for accumulating loans with the intention to transfer these loans to a CLO.

** this figure includes USD 11.3m which the Company invested during the period in the first loss tranche of warehouse facilities for accumulating loans with the intention to transfer these loans to a CLO.

Senior Secured Loans and CLOs:

The US senior secured loan market continued to offer good risk adjusted returns as a floating rate asset class with a senior secured claim on the borrower and with overall low volatility and low correlation to the equity market. CLOs are managed portfolios invested into diversified pools of senior secured loans and financed with long term financing pre-fixed at the time of issuance.

Continuing from late last year, the high yield and leveraged loan market declined further in the first few weeks of the year but recovered sharply with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index generating a total return of 4.5% for the first half of the year. As at the end of June 2016, the US loan market twelve month rolling default rate by principal amount was 1.97%. Default rates are expected to stay below average in the near future with the exception of the commodity related sector.

After very high levels of US CLO new issue volume in 2015, issuance was muted in the first quarter but picked up a steady state in the second quarter as cost of debt tranches declined with the rally in credit and equity markets. In line with broader markets, CLO equity tranche prices also declined further in the first quarter but rebounded significantly as new funds were raised to capture the price dislocation and investors reassessed the credit environment in the US. Despite the mark-to-market volatility on CLO equity tranches, cash flows to the equity tranche have remained strong.

During the reporting period the Group's US CLO portfolio performed well as cash flows remained strong and the Group took advantage of low prices for strongly performing CLO equity and added positions from the secondary market. In addition, the Group converted its warehouse into a CLO and generated a 23% cash return during the 10 month warehousing period. During the period, the CLO portfolio generated USD 12.9m in cash distributions, as well as earning USD 1.06m on warehousing facilities. Cash payments to CLO equity remained strong and CLO managers used volatility in the loan market to increase portfolio spreads. As at 30 June 2016, over 85% of the Group's CLO portfolio is invested in post-crisis CLOs.

As few loans mature in the near term and the US economy continues to grow, corporate defaults are expected to remain below average with the exception of certain energy related companies. Management believes that the environment should remain attractive for investments in CLO equity. In the first half of 2016, Livermore priced one new issue cash-flow CLO as an anchor investor.

While management maintains a positive view on the CLO portfolio, mid-long term performance may be negatively impacted by a strong pull back in the US or European economy or geo-political events that could result in a spike in defaults. Despite positive developments in the overall health of the US economy, we acknowledge the continued below trend growth globally as well as headwinds relating to the potential monetary tightening in the US, weak commodity markets and geopolitical risks.

The Group's CLO portfolio is divided into the following geographical areas:

	30 June 2016 Amount	Percentage	31 June 2015 Amount	Percentage
	US $000		US $000
US CLOs	74,752	94.7%	63,556	86.0%
Global Credit CLOs	3,436	4.4%	9,124	12.3%
European CLOs	688	0.9%	1,234	1.7%
	------	------	------	------
	78,876	100%	73,914	100%

Private Equity Funds

The other private equity investments held by the Group are incorporated in the form of Managed Funds (mostly closed end funds) mainly in emerging economies. The investments of these funds into their portfolio companies were mostly done in 2008 and 2009. Overall, during the first half of 2016 the investment environment relating to most funds was challenging and the Group expects that exits of portfolio companies should materialize between 2017 and 2020.

The following summarizes the book value of the private equity funds as at 30 June 2016:

Name	Book Value US $m
Evolution Venture (Israel)	1.9
SRS Private (India)	1.6
Elephant Capital (India)	0.7
India Blue Mountains (India)	0.7
Panda Capital (China)	0.3
Da Vinci (Russia)	0.3

The Wi-Fi solutions company is not doing well and needs additional capital which the fund will not be able to provide. The language enhancements product company and the virtualization technology company have been performing well.

SRS Private: SRS Private is a private equity fund focused on real estate in India. The fund has invested in residential and commercial projects as well as directly in certain real estate companies.

Further distributions are expected in 2017 from two of its investments. Remaining proceeds from the partial sale of their IT project in Mumbai is expected to be delayed due to financial condition of the buyer.

Elephant Capital: India-focused private equity fund, which is AIM quoted (Ticker: ECAP). During the period, the fund delisted from the LSE/AIM market in order to reduce costs given the small size of the remaining fund. Livermore owns 9.9% of the delisted fund. As of 28 February 2016, the fund reported an unaudited NAV of 34 pence per share.

India Blue Mountains: India Blue Mountains was a hotel and hospitality development fund that has been reorganized into three separate companies each holding a hotel development in India in Mumbai, Pune and Goa. Once developed, all hotels will be managed by the Accor Group (Novotel brands). Accor has also invested equity and holds a 26% stake in all of the hotels. The Pune hotel is now operational.

Panda Capital: Panda Capital is a China-based private equity fund focused on early-stage industrial operations in China. The fund's main investment is in a bamboo flooring company in China, which provides an innovative low cost alternative to hardwood flooring in shipping containers. The manager is in the process of building up operational capacity for product manufacturing.

Da Vinci: The fund is primarily focused on Russia and CIS countries and is primarily invested in the Moscow Exchange and a Ukrainian coal company. The Moscow Exchange continues to perform well in local currency terms. The coal company is located in Western Ukraine. The Group's investment in the fund was valued at USD 0.3m as of 30 June 2016.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting policies

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Livermore have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies and basis of consolidation stated in the 2015 Annual Report, available on www.livermore-inv.com. The application of the IFRS pronouncements that became effective as of 1 January 2016 has no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

2. Critical accounting judgements and estimation uncertainty

When preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. The only exception is the estimate of the provision for income taxes which is determined in the interim financial statements using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

3. Basis of preparation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 30 June 2016. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2015 is extracted from the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 which contained an unqualified audit report.

The Group treats its investments in the loan market through CLOs as non-current investments as the Group generally intends to hold such investments over a longer period.

During the six months ended 30 June 2016, due to market conditions, management considered the impairment of certain available-for-sale financial assets. Impairment testing indicated that for those financial assets their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The related impairment charges for the six months ended 30 June 2016, of USD 7.626m (June 2015: USD 10.828m, December 2015: USD 31.726m), are included within loss on investments (note 22), and represent impairment losses arising due to:

6. Financial assets at fair value

The Group allocates its non-derivative financial assets at fair value (notes 4 and 5) as follows:

· Fixed income investments relate to fixed and floating rate bonds, perpetual bank debt, and investments in the loan market through CLOs.

· Private equities relate to investments in both high growth opportunities in emerging markets and deep value opportunities in mature markets. The company generally invests directly in prospects where it can exert significant influence.

· Financial and minority holdings relate to significant investments (of over USD 5m) which are strategic for the Company and are done in the form of equity purchases or convertible loans. Main investments under this category are in the fields of real estate.

· Hedge funds relate to investments in funds managed by sophisticated investment managers that pursue investment strategies with the goal of generating absolute returns.

· Public equity investments relate to investments in shares of companies listed on public stock exchanges.

· Real estate entities relate to investments in real estate projects.

7. Fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities

The following table presents financial assets measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

- Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Valuation of financial assets and liabilities

· Fixed Income Investments, and Public Equity Investments are valued per their closing market prices on quoted exchanges, or as quoted by market maker. Investments in open warehouse facilities that have not yet been converted to CLOs, are valued based on an adjusted net asset valuation.

The Group values the CLOs based on the valuation reports provided by market makers. CLOs are typically valued by market makers using discounted cash flow models. The key assumptions for cash flow projections include default and recovery rates, prepayment rates and reinvestment assumptions on the underlying portfolios (typically senior secured loans) of the CLOs.

Default and recovery rates: The amount and timing of defaults in the underlying collateral and the amount and timing of recovery upon a default affect are key to the future cash flows a CLO will distribute to the CLO equity tranche. All else equal, higher default rates and lower recovery rates typically lead to lower cash flows. Conversely, lower default rates and higher recoveries lead to higher cash flows.

Prepayment rates: Senior loans can be pre-paid by borrowers. CLOs that are within their reinvestment period may, subject to certain conditions, reinvest such prepayments into other loans which may have different spreads and maturities. CLOs that are beyond their reinvestment period typically pay down their senior liabilities from proceeds of such pre-payments. Therefore the rate at which the underlying collateral prepays impacts the future cash flows that the CLO may generate.

Reinvestment assumptions: A CLO within its reinvestment period may reinvest proceeds from loan maturities, prepayments, and recoveries into purchasing additional loans. The reinvestment assumptions define the characteristics of the loans that a CLO may reinvest in. These assumptions include the spreads, maturities, and prices of such loans. Reinvestment into loans with higher spreads and lower prices will lead to higher cash flows. Reinvestment into loans with lower spreads will typically lead to lower cash flows.

Discount rate: The discount rate indicates the yield that market participants expect to receive and is used to discount the projected future cash flows. Higher yield expectations or discount rates lead to lower prices and lower discount rates lead to higher prices for CLOs.

· Private Equities are valued using market valuation techniques as determined by the Directors, mainly on the basis of discounted cash flow techniques or valuations reported by third-party managers of such investments.

· Financial and Minority holdings are valued using market valuation techniques as determined by the Directors, mainly on the basis of discounted cash flow techniques or valuations reported by third-party managers of such investments.

· Hedge Funds are valued per reports provided by the funds on a periodic basis, and if traded, per their closing bid market prices on quoted exchanges, or as quoted by market maker.

· Real Estates entities are valued by independent qualified property valuers with substantial relevant experience on such investments. Underlying property values are determined based on their estimated market values.

· Derivative instruments are valued at fair value as provided by counter parties (banks) of the derivative agreement.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

The Group has not developed any quantitative unobservable inputs for measuring the fair value of its level 3 financial assets at the reporting date. Instead the Group used prices from third - party pricing information without adjustment.

A reasonable change in any individual significant input used in the level 3 valuations is not anticipated to have a significant change in fair values as above.

The Share options granted on 13 May 2008 have a dilutive effect on the net asset value per share, given that their exercise price is lower than the net asset value per Company's share at 30 June 2016, 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2015. All other share options do not impact the diluted net asset value per share at 30 June 2016, 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2015 as their exercise price at these dates was higher than the net asset value per Company's share.

Repurchase of own shares

The Board believes that the ability of the Company to re-purchase its own Ordinary shares in the market may potentially benefit equity shareholders of the Company. The repurchase of Ordinary shares at a discount to the underlying net asset value enhances the net asset value per share of the remaining equity shares.

During the period, the Company bought an additional 17,475,585 ordinary shares at an average price of USD 0.45 per share.

The Share options granted on 13 May 2008 have a dilutive effect on the weighted average number of ordinary shares only, given that their exercise price is lower than the average market price of the Company's shares on the London Stock Exchange (AIM division) during the period ended 30 June 2016, 30 June 2015 and the year ended 31 December 2015. All other share options do not impact the diluted earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 2016, 30 June 2015 and the year ended 31 December 2015 as their exercise price was higher than the average market price of the Company's shares during the corresponding periods.

(1) Loans of USD 5.523m were made to a key management employee for the acquisition of shares in the Company. Interest was payable on these loans at 6 month US LIBOR plus 0.25% per annum and the loans were secured on the shares acquired. The loans were repayable on the earlier of the employee leaving the Company or April 2013. In December 2012 the Board decided to renew the outstanding amount of these loans for a period of another five years. Based on the Board's decision, the outstanding amount is reduced annually on a straight line over five years, as long as the key management employee remains with the Company. The relevant reduction in the loan amount for the period was USD 0.564m. The loans are classified as "other assets" and are included under trade and other receivables (note 11).

(2) A loan with a balance at 30 June 2016 of USD 0.149m (June 2015: USD 0.499m, December 2015: USD 0.499m) has been received from related company Chanpak Ltd. The loan is free of interest, unsecured and repayable on demand. This loan is included within trade and other payables (note 17).

(3) These payments were made directly to companies to which they are related.

No social insurance and similar contributions nor any other defined benefit contributions plan costs incurred for the Group in relation to its key management personnel in either 2016 or 2015.

28. Litigation

Fairfield Sentry Ltd vs custodian bank and beneficial owners

One of the custodian banks that the Group uses faces a contingent claim up to USD 2.1m, and any interest as will be decided by a US court and related legal fees, with regards to the redemption of shares in Fairfield Sentry Ltd, which were bought in 2008 at the request of Livermore and on its behalf. The same case was also filed in BVI where the Privy Council ruled against the plaintiffs.

As a result of the surrounding uncertainties over the existence of any obligation for Livermore, as well as for the potential amount of exposure, the Directors cannot form an estimate of the outcome for this case and therefore no provision has been made.

No further information is provided on the above case as the Directors consider it could prejudice its outcome.

Ex employee vs Empire Online Ltd

In 2007 an ex employee of Empire Online Limited (the Company's former name) filed a law suit against one of its Directors and the Company in the Labor Court in Tel Aviv. According to the lawsuit the plaintiff claims compensation relating to the sale of all commercial activities of Empire Online Limited until the end of 2006, and the dissolution of the company and the terms of termination of his employment with Empire Online Limited.

Prior to the filing of the lawsuit in Israel, the Company filed a claim against the plaintiff in the Court in Cyprus based upon claims concerning breach of faith of the plaintiff towards his employers. Litigation was completed in Israel.

On 5 March 2014, the Labor Court in Tel Aviv issued a ruling in which the court denied most of the plaintiff's claims and accepted only his claim for termination of employment. On 16 April 2014 the plaintiff filed an appeal against the ruling. On 10 June 2015 the court held a hearing of the appeal and suggested that both sides settle the dispute by means of mediation. On 20 January 2016 the parties reached an agreement for an out of court settlement, for which a corresponding provision has been made.

29. Commitments

As part of the lease extension agreement with SBB in 2015, the Group will invest up to a maximum of CHF 3.95m (USD 4.04m) and SBB is expected to invest up to CHF 9m (USD 9.2m) to upgrade the property and allow for additional workspaces.

30. Events after the reporting date

In August 2016 loans of USD 2.5m were made to a key management employee. Interest is accrued on these loans at 6 month US LIBOR plus 0.25% per annum. The loans are secured by shares of the Company of an equal market value as at the date of grant, and (principal plus accumulated interest) are repayable on the earlier of the employee leaving the Company or 15 August 2019.

Report by the Independent Auditors on Review of Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements to the Board of Directors of Livermore Investments Group Limited

Independent Review Report on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Livermore Investments Group Limited (the ''Company'') and its subsidiaries (the ''Group'') on pages 9 to 36, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 and the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months then ended, and other explanatory notes.

Board of Directors' Responsibility for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ''Interim Financial Reporting'' as adopted by the European Union.

Accountant's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Auditing 2410 ''Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity''. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

A review of interim financial information is limited primarily to making inquiries of Company personnel and applying analytical and other review procedures to financial data. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Livermore Investments Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six month period then ended in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ''Interim Financial Reporting'' as adopted by the European Union.

Other Matter

This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
