Anglo Asian Mining plc ('Anglo Asian' or 'the Company' or 'the Group')
Update Re Final Results
Anglo Asian Mining plc, the AIM listed gold producer in Azerbaijan, announces that it is in the process of finalising its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2013.
As announced by the Company in the Operations Update dated 15 January 2014, profitability for the year to 31 December 2013 was expected to be significantly reduced from the year to 31 December 2012. During the process of finalising its results for the year to 31 December 2013, it has become apparent that profitability will be further impacted by increased cost of sales and the accounting treatment of certain items. Therefore, the Board expects that profits for the Group for the year to 31 December 2013 will be significantly below market expectations.
Anglo Asian expects to be able to release its final results for the year ended 31 December 2013 by the end of May 2014.
