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.

Non-Executive Chairman

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.
