1、2023 Annual Report3Mongolia Growth Group Ltd|The year 2023 was rather bittersweet for everyone at MGG.On one hand,we finalized the sale of our Mongolian property assets,a goal that was necessitated by our subscale size.While foreshadowed for quite some time,I was still saddened to crystalize this tr
2、ansaction.Mongolia has been part of my life for over a decade,and I always believed that we could somehow turn things around if we simply waited long enough for Mongolias economic fortunes to recover.Unfortunately,this recovery has never arrived,and it became apparent that the time had come to extra
3、ct our remaining capital and engage it in more lucrative purposes,especially as our Mongolian operations have mostly operated at a loss for the past few years.At the same time,MGG had built a wonderful team that could accomplish anything,even under almost impossible circumstancesour most valuable as
4、sets,that never showed up on our balance sheet.Unfortunately,no one should toil away at a company that is slowly shrinking,and moving on is also for their own good,though I will miss them dearly.I will forever remember the loyalty and resourcefulness of our core team,many of whom have been with us s
5、ince 2011.We accomplished incredible things during our time together,and while that has not translated into financial rewards for you as shareholders,I dont think you realize how much we really accomplished.I also dont think you realize how difficult things frequently were in Mongolia,only to have o
6、ne of our employees find a creative way to save the day.Putting it differently,things could have turned out much worse for us as shareholders and were happy that we were able to ultimately extract value from our Mongolian assets.We segregate our business lines into three categories:Investment Proper
7、ties(discontinued),Subscription Business Products,and Corporate Division(which includes our investment portfolio).Given the complicated nature of the accounting for discontinued operations,Im going to break with normal practices and simply summarize that we sold our seven remaining property assets,i
8、ncluding our Mongolian headquarters for cash consideration of approximately$10,800,000.Four of these properties were sold via the sale of subsidiaries outlined in Note 5 of the financial statements.During the 4th quarter,we completed the wind-down of our operations,and expect that all Mongolia-relat
9、ed expenses are reflected in these year-end financial statements.Subsequent to the complete disposal of our Mongolian operations,we have four core assets remaining at MGG;Our Subscription Products Business.Our office property in Rincon,Puerto Rico.Our cash,net marketable securities,and digital asset
10、s.Canadian Tax assets related to the disposal of our Mongolian subsidiaries.I have on many occasions noted that there are tax and regulatory reasons why we cannot be a publicly traded business where the primary assets are marketable securities.Therefore,we MUST purchase over 25%of an operating busin
11、ess in the very near future.Unfortunately,we have not been able to identify any attractive opportunities and have started to lose confidence that we will be able to identify a sufficiently attractive opportunity.If we cannot find a suitable acquisition in the near future,we will likely choose to liq
12、uidate this Company,so as not to burden shareholders with the costs of a public company.In the meantime,we hope that future gains from our existing marketable securities portfolio can utilize our tax assets,maximizing the after-tax return to shareholders.Subscription Business Products:KEDM,our subsc
13、ription business,which tracks various Event-Driven strategies,continued to produce income for our company.During the year,we recognized$3,213,395(2022-$3,174,031)of revenue while taking in$2,792,680(2022-$3,685,715)of gross subscription receipts,representing a 24%decline in subscription receipts whe
14、n compared to the previous year.As noted previously,we believe that KEDM has reached a Harris KuppermanCEO and Chairman of the BoardLetter to Shareholders Dear Shareholders,4|Mongolia Growth Group Ltdmore mature state and that churn will likely remain above our ability to add new subscribers.Weve tr
15、ied a variety of methods to grow the subscriber base,but a weaker equity market,with reduced returns for investors,has led many subscribers to cancel their subscriptions.Meanwhile,weve struggled to replace these subscribers.That said,we believe that there is a core base of subscribers that will like
16、ly continue to renew their subscriptions as they value the data that we provide.As KEDM shrinks into this core base,we believe that overall churn will stabilize at a lower level that is offset by new subscriber additions and we expect that KEDM will remain a profitable business for us.As a reminder,
17、as of January 1st of 2023,my Registered In-vestment Advisor,Praetorian PR LLC,is now contracting with MGG to produce KEDM.To learn more about KEDM,go to www.KEDM.COM.Corporate Division:Our public securities portfolio produced a$4,050,104 unre-alized gain and a$518,828 realized gain during the year.I
18、 would like to caution you strongly that returns,as we have recently experienced,are highly unlikely to be repeated in fu-ture quarters.At year-end,our portfolio was concentrated in investments in oil futures and futures options,energy services companies,uranium equities,and a Florida landowner.Addi
19、-tionally,we own a small position in a cryptocurrency named Monero,that we added moderately to during the first quarter of 2023.We view these investments as highly liquid,inflation-protected,alternatives to holding cash,and we intend to liquidate various investments should we find additional busi-ne
20、sses to launch or acquire stakes in.ConclusionIn summary,the fiscal year 2023 was bittersweet.While we remain optimistic about Mongolias long-term future,it re-mains mired in an economic crisis.As a result,we decided to finally wind down operations and dispose of our remaining property assets.We wai
21、ted for over a decade for a recovery in Mongolias economy.One day that recovery will come,but unfortunately,as shareholders,we will not take part.Gen and I made many life-long friends in Mongolia and will cherish our memories of operating in such a remarkable country.We want to wish all our friends
22、and former employees the best in all of their endeavors.Our public equity investments continue to succeed beyond our wildest ambitions,and we are in the best financial posi-tion we have been in since we started this adventure.Gen and I very much want to continue this adventure.We have big plans and
23、even bigger ambitions for this company,as noted by our continued and aggressive insider purchases over the years.Unfortunately,various regulatory and tax authorities have put a roadblock in our way and despite speaking with multiple consultants and spending a veritable treasure chest of money on thi
24、s problem,we cannot find a way forward.We havent given up hope yet,but are also realists,hence we are making you aware of the likely return of a substantial portion of this companys capital.During the year,the company repurchased 600,200 shares un-der its Normal Course Issuer Bid.At year-end,our sha
25、re count was 26,980,699,or 24%fewer than during our peak share count in 2016.To date,the company has repurchased a total of 9,438,200 shares.Sincerely,Harris KuppermanCEO and Chairman of the Board5Mongolia Growth Group Ltd|MONGOLIA GROWTH GROUP LTD.Management Discussion&AnalysisDecember 31,2023The m

34、cription revenue.Additionally,the Corporation recognized realized and unrealized gains from its investment portfolio.The Corporation has three core focuses of operation:Investment Properties(discontinued),Subscription Products,and Corporate.For several years now,Management has been of the opinion th
35、at its Mongolian property operations were not at a sufficient scale to be cash flow positive.As such,the Corporation has made the difficult decision to dispose of its Mongolian operations,now classified as discontinued operations.The Company has been looking at various investment opportunities outsi
36、de of Mongolia,in order to diversify its business and has adopted a Merchant Bank model.Since 2017,the Corporation has spent substantial time evaluating a number of businesses for acquisition but has not decided to move forward on any acquisition.However,the Corporation has incubated and launched a
37、Subscription Products business,which began to produce revenue during the third quarter of 2021.During the year ended December 31,2023,the Company directly sold three properties for net proceeds of$471,131,resulting in a net loss of$452,035 and sold four properties with a value of$9,095,765 via the s
38、ale of subsidiaries(note 5).During the year ended December 31,2022,the Company sold five properties for net proceeds of$919,621 resulting in a net loss of$146,544.Losses related to the sale of investment properties have been included in loss from discontinued operations(note 5 of the 2023 year-end f
39、inancial statements)for the years presented.During the year,the Corporation recognized revenue of$3,213,395(2022-$3,174,031)from its subscription data products business named KEDM.The Corporation continues to see significant subscriber churn and an overall slowdown in new subscriptions to KEDM as a
40、result of equity market weakness and reduced research budgets amongst investors.The corporation believes that this rate of churn may continue if equity markets remain difficult for investors.While the Corporation seeks out a business to build or acquire,the Corporation has invested its excess capita
41、l in publicly traded securities.During the year,the Corporations investment portfolio experienced$518,828 of realized gains and$4,050,104 of unrealized gains.As of the end of December,the Corporation has in excess of$50.6 million of cash and net marketable securities with negligible debt(when exclud
42、ing margin borrowings).The Corporation sees its public securities holdings as a source of capital to fund a future acquisition along with the working capital needs of the business.The Corporation may also be forced to take on additional borrowings or issue equity to finance a future acquisition.Mong
43、olian Property BusinessDuring the boom years at the beginning of the last decade,Management and employees had worked hard to build up the infrastructure needed to manage MGGs institutional property platform.This platform was unique in Mongolia and was one of the only platforms capable of managing as
44、sets through the full cycle of ownership from acquisition through disposition and included dedicated departments that managed maintenance,leasing,marketing,and tenant management.During 2023,the Corporation continued to have occupancy levels that were in excess of market conditions,and it credits its
45、 leasing and property management teams with this success.Unfortunately,as the Mongolian property business was never able to reach scale,the Corporation made the difficult decision to dispose of the business.Subscription Products The Corporation has built a financial data product known as KEDM,which
46、helps investors monitor various Event-Driven opportunities.The Corporation initiated a paywall on July 1,2021,in order to monetize this service.During the year,the Corporation recognized$3,213,395 of subscription revenue.At the end of the year,the Corporation has$1,126,439 of unearned revenue(2022-$
47、1,547,154)related to subscription fees that have been collected and not earned.As of December 31,2023,the Corporation had received$8,458,277 of total billings before fees since the initiation of the paywall.The Corporation intends to invest to improve the scope and quality of the data.Should KEDM co
48、ntinue to perform acceptably,the Corporation may look to launch or acquire additional subscription products.Furthermore,the Corporation is reviewing additional services that it can add to the core KEDM platform in order to increase revenues.For more information on KEDM,go to http:/www.KEDM.COM.Inves

56、 Russian securities.As at March 31,2022,the Company marked all of these securities to zero as sanctions prohibit the sale of Russian securities and the Company may never recover any value from these securities.The Corporation continues to hold these securities but has valued them at zero.As of Decem

99、Chairman and CEO under the review of his Chief Compliance Officer,following PPRs registration as a Registered Investment Advisor with the US Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC).MGG believes that the compensation paid to PPR will result in a negligible profit to PPR based upon a review of anticip

198、Growth Group Ltd|Section 5 Critical Estimates Critical Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements following IFRS required Management to make assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated base
199、d on historical experiences and other factors,including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.In the future,actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.The critical estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financia
200、l statements include the following:Fair Value Adjustment on Investment Properties The estimate of fair value of investment properties is the most critical accounting estimate to the Company.An external appraiser estimates the fair value of the majority of Investment Properties annually,the remainder
201、 is appraised internally by Management.The fair value of investment properties is based on the nature,location and condition of the specific asset.The fair value of investment properties represents an estimate of the price that would be made in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable,willin
202、g parties.The Corporation operates in the emerging real estate market of Mongolia,which given its current economic and industry conditions,has an increased inherent risk given the lack of reliable and comparable market information.For the year ending December 31,2023,the Corporation recorded a fair
203、value adjustment of$nil(Q4 2022$622,186 gain).Deferred Tax AssetsDeferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which the deductible temporar
204、y differences can be utilized.The Corporation reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period which is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that deferred tax assets recognized will be recovered or increased to the extent that sufficient future ta
205、xable profit will be available to allow all or part of a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to be recovered.Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations,available tax planning opportunities,and expected timing of reversals of taxable temporary differe
206、nces.Valuation of Marketable SecuritiesThe Company recognizes marketable securities at fair value.Fair value is determined on the basis of market prices from independent sources,if available.If there is no market price,then the fair value is determined by using valuation models with inputs derived f
207、rom observable market data where possible but where observable data is not available,judgement is required to establish fair values.Significant judgments made in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the following areas:Judgement is required in determining whether an ass
208、et meets the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and or as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.Criteria considered by management include the existence of and commitment to a plan to dispose of the assets,the expected selling price of the assets,the probab
209、ility of the sale being completed within an expected timeframe of one year,and the period of time any amounts have been classified within assets held for sale.Management reviews the criteria for assets held for sale each quarter and reclassifies such assets to or from this financial position categor
210、y as appropriate.On completion of the sale,Management exercises judgement as to whether the sale qualifies as a discontinued operation.18|Mongolia Growth Group LtdSection 6 Risk ManagementCredit RiskThe Corporations exposure to credit risk is managed through risk management policies and procedures w
211、ith emphasis on the quality of the investment portfolio.For the year,most of the Corporations credit risk consisted of institutional deposits.The majority of the funds invested are held in reputable Canadian and American.Liquidity RiskUnder certain market conditions,such as during volatile markets o
212、r when trading in a security or market is otherwise impaired,the liquidity of the Corporations portfolio positions may be reduced.In addition,the Corporation may from time to time hold large positions with respect to a specific type of financial instrument,which may reduce the Corporations liquidity
213、.During such times,the Corporation may be unable to dispose of certain financial instruments,including longer-term financial instruments,which would adversely affect its ability to rebalance its portfolio.In addition,such circumstances may force the Corporation to dispose of financial instruments at
214、 reduced prices,thereby adversely affecting its performance.If there are other market participants seeking to dispose of similar financial instruments at the same time,the Corporation may be unable to sell such financial instruments or prevent losses relating to such financial instruments.Furthermor
215、e,if the Corporation incurs substantial trading losses,the need for liquidity could rise sharply while its access to liquidity could be impaired.In addition,in conjunction with a market downturn,the Corporations counterparties could incur losses of their own,thereby weakening their financial conditi
216、on and increasing the Corporations exposure to their credit risk.The Corporation does not believe its current maturity profile lends itself to any material liquidity risk,taking into account the level of cash and cash equivalents,investments and marketable securities as at December 31,2023.As at Dec
217、ember 31,2023,the Corporation had working capital of$48,147,662(2022-$36,155,684)comprised of cash and cash equivalents,marketable securities owned,due from broker,digital assets,other assets,net of trade and accrued liabilities,unearned revenue,due to broker,marketable securities sold short,CEBA lo
218、an and income taxes payable.Management considers the funds on hand to be sufficient to meet its ongoing obligations.Market RiskMarket risk is the risk that the fair value of,or future cash flows from,the Corporations financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices.
219、The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates,foreign exchange rates,and equity and commodity prices.The Corporation is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavorable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than f
220、avorable prices.Catastrophe riskThe Company obtained insurance on its Puerto Rican property with a value of$1,385,665 at December 31,2023.As the property is located on the ocean,it is at risk of significant hurricane damage or other natural disasters which could result in a significant impairment to
221、 its value.Cryptocurrencies Risk Cryptocurrencies are measured at fair value less cost to sell.Cryptocurrency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand,interest rates,exchange rates,inflation or deflation and political and economic conditions.Further,cryptocurrencies h
222、ave no underlying backing or contracts to enforce recovery of invested amounts.The profitability of the Corporation is related to the current and future market price of cryptocurrencies;in addition,the Corporation may not be able to liquidate its inventory of cryptocurrencies at its desired price if
223、 necessary.Investing in cryptocurrencies is speculative,prices are volatile,and market movements are difficult to predict.Supply and demand for such currencies change rapidly and are affected by a variety of factors,including regulation and general economic trends.Cryptocurrencies have a limited his
224、tory;their fair values have historically been volatile,and the value of cryptocurrencies held by the Corporation could decline rapidly.A decline in the market prices of cryptocurrencies could negatively impact the Corporations future operations.Historical performance of cryptocurrencies is not indic
225、ative of their future performance.Many cryptocurrency networks are online end-user-to-end-user networks that host a public transaction ledger(blockchain)and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing such networks.In many cryptocurrency transac
226、tions,the recipient or the buyer must provide its public key,which serves as an address for a digital wallet,to the seller.In the data packets distributed from cryptocurrency software programs to confirm transaction activity,each party to the transaction user must sign transactions with a data code
227、derived from entering the private key into a hashing algorithm,which signature serves as validation that the transaction has been authorized by the owner of the cryptocurrency.This process is vulnerable to hacking and malware and could lead to theft of the Corporations digital wallets and the loss o
228、f the Corporations cryptocurrency.19Mongolia Growth Group Ltd|Cryptocurrencies are loosely regulated and there is no central marketplace for exchange.Supply is determined by a computer code,not a central bank.Additionally,exchanges may suffer from operational issues,such as delayed execution,that co
229、uld have an adverse effect on the Corporation.The cryptocurrency exchanges on which the Corporation may trade on are relatively new and,in many cases,largely unregulated,and therefore may be more exposed to fraud and failure than regulated exchanges for other assets.Any financial,security,or operati
230、onal difficulties experienced by such exchanges may result in an inability of the Corporation to recover money or cryptocurrencies being held on the exchange.Further,the Corporation may be unable to recover cryptocurrencies awaiting transmission into or out of the exchange,all of which could adverse
231、ly affect an investment of the Corporation.Additionally,to the extent that the digital asset exchanges representing a substantial portion of the volume in digital asset trading are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues,such digital asset exchanges failures may
232、 result in loss or less favorable prices of cryptocurrencies,or may adversely affect the Corporation,its operations,and its investments.Furthermore,crypto exchanges comingle their clients assets in exchange wallets.When crypto-assets are commingled,transactions are not recorded on the applicable blo
233、ckchain ledger but are only recorded by the exchange.Therefore,there is a risk around the occurrence of transactions or the existence of period-end balances represented by exchanges.Loss of access riskThe loss of access to the private keys associated with the Corporations cryptocurrency holdings may
234、 be irreversible and could adversely affect an investment.Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by an individual that possess both the unique public key and private key or keys relating to the“digital wallet”in which the cryptocurrency is held.To the extent a private key is lost,destroyed,or otherw
235、ise compromised and no backup is accessible the Corporation may be unable to access the cryptocurrency.Irrevocability of transactionsCryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable.Once a transaction has been verified and record
236、ed in a block that is added to the blockchain,an incorrect transfer or theft generally will not be reversible,and the Corporation may not be capable of seeking compensation.Hard fork and air drop risksHard forks may occur for a variety of reasons including,but not limited to,disputes over proposed c
237、hanges to the protocol,significant security breach,or an unanticipated software flaw in the multiple versions of otherwise compatible software.In the event of a hard fork in a cryptocurrency held by the Corporation,it is expected that the Corporation would hold an equivalent amount of the old and ne
238、w cryptocurrency following the hard fork.Airdrops occur when the promoters of a new cryptocurrency send amounts of the new cryptocurrency to holders of another cryptocurrency that they will be able to claim a certain amount of the new cryptocurrency for free.The Corporation may not be able to realiz
239、e the economic benefit of a hard fork or airdrop,either immediately or ever,for various reasons.For instance,the Corporation may not have any systems in place to monitor or participate in hard forks or airdrops.Economic Volatility and UncertaintyOver the past few years,economic volatility and uncert
240、ainty around the world has contributed to dramatically restricted access to capital and reduced capital markets activity for more speculative businesses.Management believes that the Corporation has sufficient resources to carry on its business and remain a going concern.Risks and UncertaintiesThe Co
241、rporation,as part of its operations,carries financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents,investments and marketable securities,accounts receivable,and trade payables,and accrued liabilities.It is Managements opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit,interest,
242、or currency risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.Further information related to Mongolia Growth Group Ltd.and the risks and uncertainties of MGG is filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and R
243、etrieval(“SEDAR”)and can be reviewed at .Financial InstrumentsThe Corporations financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,investments and marketable securities,accounts receivable,and trade and accrued payables.The Corporation is subject to interest risk as it earns interest income f
244、rom its cash deposits.It is Managements opinion that the Corporation is not exposed to significant credit risks arising from these financial instruments and that the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.Changes in Investment StrategiesThe Corporation may alter
245、 its investment strategies and restrictions without prior approval by shareholders to adapt to changing circumstances.20|Mongolia Growth Group LtdPossible Negative Impact of RegulationTThe regulatory environment is evolving and changes to it may adversely affect the Corporation.To the extent that re
246、gulators adopt practices of regulatory oversight that create additional compliance,transaction,disclosure or other costs for the Corporation,returns of the Corporation may be negatively affected.In addition,the regulatory or tax environment for securities,derivatives and related instruments is evolv
247、ing and may be subject to modification by government or judicial action that may adversely affect the value of the investments held by the Corporation.The effect of any future regulatory or tax change on the Corporation is impossible to predict.PFIC RiskThe Corporation has not undertaken an analysis
248、 to determine if it is a Passive Foreign Income Company(PFIC)under United States tax statutes,nor does it intend to.US shareholders are advised to consult with tax professionals to determine the risks and potential penalties that could be applicable if the Corporation is determined to be a PFIC at a
249、 later date.Use of DerivativesThe Corporation may use derivative instruments.The use of derivatives in general presents additional risks to those applicable to trading only in the underlying assets.To the extent of the Corporations investment in derivatives,it may take a credit risk concerning parti
250、es with whom it trades and may also bear the risk of settlement default.When used for hedging purposes,an imperfect or variable degree of correlation between price movements of the derivative instrument and the underlying investment sought to be hedged may prevent the Corporation from achieving the
251、intended hedge effect or expose the Corporation to the risk of loss.In addition,derivative instruments may not be liquid at all times,so that in volatile markets the Corporation may not be able to close out a position without incurring a loss.No assurance can be given that short sales,hedging,levera
252、ge,and other techniques and strategies utilized by the Corporation to hedge its exposure will not result in material losses.Custody Risk and Broker or Dealer InsolvencyThe Corporation does not control the custodianship of all of its assets.The Corporations assets will be held in one or more accounts
253、 maintained for the Corporation by its broker or brokers.Such brokers are subject to various laws and regulations in various jurisdictions that are designed to protect their customers in the event of their insolvency.However,the practical effect of these laws and their application to the Corporation
254、s assets are subject to substantial limitations and uncertainties.Because of the large number of entities and jurisdictions involved and the range of possible factual scenarios involving the insolvency of a broker or any sub-custodians,agents,or affiliates,it is impossible to generalize about the ef
255、fect of their insolvency on the Corporation and its assets.Investors should assume that the insolvency of any of the brokers or such other service providers would result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of the Corporations assets held by or through such brokers and/or the delay in the pay
256、ment of withdrawal proceeds.The Corporations cryptocurrency is currently being held at Kraken Custody.There is a risk that the custodian loses the Corporations cryptocurrency.Refer to the cryptocurrency risk section for further cryptocurrency risks.Investment and Trading Risks in GeneralAll trades m
257、ade by the Corporation risk the loss of capital.The Corporation may utilize trading techniques or instruments,which can,in certain circumstances,maximize the adverse impact to which a clients account may be subject.No guarantee or representation is made that the Corporations investment program will
258、be successful,and investment results may vary substantially over time.Many unforeseeable events,including actions by various government agencies,and domestic and international economic and political developments may cause sharp market fluctuations which could adversely affect the Corporations portfo
259、lio and performance.General Economic and Market ConditionsThe success of the Corporations activities may be affected by general economic and market conditions,such as interest rates,availability of credit,inflation rates,economic uncertainty,changes in laws,and national and international political c
260、ircumstances.These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of the Corporations investments.Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair the Corporations profitability or result in losses.IssuerSpecific ChangesThe value of an individual security or part
261、icular type of security can be more volatile than and can perform differently from the market as a whole.Portfolio TurnoverThe Corporation has not placed any limits on the rate of portfolio turnover and portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the time they have been held when,in the opini
262、on of the Corporation,investment considerations warrant such action.A high rate of portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses than a lower rate.21Mongolia Growth Group Ltd|Liquidity of Underlying InvestmentsSome of the securities in which the Corporation may invest may be thinly tr
263、aded.There are no restrictions on the investment of the Corporation in illiquid securities.It is possible that the Corporation may not be able to sell or repurchase significant portions of such positions without facing substantially adverse prices.If the Corporation is required to transact in such s
264、ecurities before its intended investment horizon,the performance of the Corporation could suffer.Highly Volatile Markets The prices of financial instruments in which the Corporations assets may be invested can be highly volatile and may be influenced by,among other things,specific corporate developm
265、ents,interest rates,changing supply and demand relationships,trade,fiscal,monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments,and national and international political and economic events and policies.The Corporation is subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on whic
266、h the Corporations positions trade or of their clearinghouses.Emerging MarketsThe Corporation may invest in the securities of companies that operate in some emerging markets.Operating in emerging markets involves additional risks because companies in emerging markets may be less regulated and not su
267、bject to the same standards,reporting practices,and disclosure requirements that apply in more developed markets.In addition,some emerging markets and legal systems may not adequately protect investor rights.Small-to Medium-Capitalization CompaniesThe Corporation may invest a portion of its assets i
268、n the securities of companies with small-to medium-sized market capitalizations.While the Corporation believes these investments often provide significant potential for appreciation,those securities may involve higher risks in some respects than do investments in securities of larger companies.For e
269、xample,while smaller companies generally have the potential for rapid growth,they often involve higher risks because they may lack the management experience,financial resources,product diversification,and competitive strength of larger companies.In addition,in many instances,the frequency and volume
270、 of their trading may be substantially less than is typical of larger companies.As a result,the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations.When making large sales,the Corporation may have to sell portfolio holdings at discounts from quoted prices or may have to make a
271、 series of small sales over an extended period of time due to the trading volume of smaller Corporation securities.Fixed Income SecuritiesThe Corporation may occasionally invest in bonds or other fixed-income securities of issuers,including,without limitation,bonds,notes,and debentures issued by cor
272、porations.Fixed-income securities pay fixed,variable,or floating rates of interest.The value of fixed-income securities in which the Corporation invests will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates.In addition,the value of certain fixed-income securities can fluctuate in response to per
273、ceptions of creditworthiness,political stability,or soundness of economic policies.Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the issuers inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations(i.e.,credit risk)and are subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest
274、rate sensitivity,market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity(i.e.,market risk).If fixed-income investments are not held to maturity,the Corporation may suffer a loss at the time of the sale of such securities.Equity SecuritiesTo the extent that the Corporatio
275、n holds equity portfolio investments or short positions in equities,it will be influenced by stock market conditions in those jurisdictions where the securities held by the Corporation,are listed for trading and by changes in the circumstances of the issuers whose securities are held by the Corporat
276、ion.OptionsSelling call and put options is a highly specialized activity and entails greater than ordinary investment risk.The risk of loss when purchasing an option is limited to the amount of the purchase price of the option;however,investment in an option may be subject to greater fluctuation tha
277、n an investment in the underlying security.In the case of the sale of an uncovered option,there can be potential for an unlimited loss.To some extent,this risk may be hedged by the purchase or sale of the underlying security.ShortingSelling a security short(“shorting”)involves borrowing a security f
278、rom an existing holder and selling the security in the market with a promise to return it at a later date.Should the security increase in value during the shorting period,losses will incur to the Corporation.There is in theory no upper limit to how high the price of a security may go.Another risk in
279、volved in shorting is the loss of a borrow,a situation where the lender of the security requests its return.In cases like this,the Corporation,must either find securities to replace those borrowed or step into the market and repurchase the securities.Depending on the liquidity of the security shorte
280、d,if there are insufficient securities available at current market prices,the Corporation,may have to bid up the price of the security in order to cover the short position,resulting in losses to the Corporation.22|Mongolia Growth Group LtdTrading CostsThe Corporation may engage in a high rate of tra
281、ding activity resulting in correspondingly high costs being borne by the Corporation.Currency and Exchange Rate RisksThe Corporations assets will be denominated in multiple currencies.The Corporation will report its results in Canadian dollars.The Corporation expects to report allocations of profit
282、and loss for income tax purposes in Canadian dollars.Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of the Corporations portfolio and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.LeverageThe Corporation may use financial leverage by borrowing funds against the assets of the Co
283、rporation.Leverage increases both the possibilities for profit and the risk of loss for the Corporation.From time to time,the credit markets are subject to periods in which there is a severe contraction of both liquidity and available leverage.The combination of these two factors can result in lever
284、aged strategies being required to sell positions typically at highly disadvantageous prices in order to meet margin requirements,contributing to a general decline in a wide range of different securities.Illiquidity can be particularly damaging to leveraged strategies because of the essentially discr
285、etionary ability of dealers to raise margin requirements,requiring leveraged strategy to attempt to sell positions to comply with such requirements at a time when there are effectively no buyers in the market at all or at any but highly distressed prices.These market conditions have in the past resu
286、lted in major losses.Such conditions,although unpredictable,can be expected to recur.Future Acquisitions and Business DiversificationManagement is currently evaluating future acquisitions of businesses and operating assets that are not related to investments within Mongolia.There can be no certainty
287、 that the Corporation will acquire any business.Additionally,if the Corporation acquires part or all of a business outside of Mongolia,it may dilute managements focus on current operations within Mongolia.Additionally,shareholders who desire a Mongolia-focused investment vehicle may sell shares of t
288、he Corporation if they do not desire investments outside of Mongolia.There can be no certainty that the Corporation can raise adequate funding to finance an acquisition of a business outside of Mongolia or that diversification of the Corporations business is in the best interest of the Corporation.C
289、apital spent on researching businesses outside of Mongolia will increase operating expenses and operating losses as long as such due diligence is ongoing.Internal Controls over Financial ReportingChanges in securities laws no longer require the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
290、junior reporting issuers to certify that they have designed internal control over financial reporting or caused it to be designed under their supervision,to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
291、 in accordance with IFRS.Instead,an optional form of certification has been made available to junior reporting issuers and has been used by the Corporations certifying officers since December 31,2013,annual filings.The new certification reflects what the Corporation considers to be a more appropriat
292、e level of CEO and CFO certification given the size and nature of the Corporations operations.This certification requires the certifying officers to state that:they have reviewed the interim MD&A and consolidated financial statements;they have determined that there is no untrue statement of a materi
293、al fact,or any omission of material fact required to be stated which would make a statement or its omission misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made within the interim MD&A and consolidated financial statements;based on their knowledge,the interim filings,together with the ot
294、her financial information included in the interim filings,fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation as of the date and for the periods presented in the filings.Additional InformationAdditional information relating to Mongo

296、ial Statements December 31,2022(Expressed in Canadian dollars)INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT To the Shareholders of Mongolia Growth Group Ltd.Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mongolia Growth Group Ltd.(the“Company”),which comprise the consolidated statements
297、 of financial position as at December 31,2023 and 2022,and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,changes in equity,and cash flows for the years then ended,and notes to the consolidated financial statements,including material accounting policy information.In our opinion,t
298、hese consolidated financial statements present fairly,in all material respects,the financial position of the Company as at December 31,2023 and 2022,and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International A
299、ccounting Standards Board.Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our
300、 report.We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada,and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.We believe that the audit evidence we
301、 have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that,in our professional judgment,were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year.These matters were
302、addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole,and in forming our opinion thereon,and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.Disposal of Mongolian Subsidiaries As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements,the Company dispos
303、ed of its Mongolian wholly-owned subsidiaries;MGG Properties LLC,Big Sky Capital LLC,Carrollton LLC,Biggie Industries LLC,Zulu LLC,Crescent City LLC and Oceanus LLC for cash consideration of$10,320,149 and the assumption of the subsidiaries liabilities.As a result of these sales,there are requiremen
304、ts concerning the allocation of income and expenses to discontinued operations,and the presentation within the consolidated financial statements.The principal considerations for our determination that the disposal of the Mongolian Subsidiaries is a key audit matter are that there was judgment made b
305、y management when assessing whether these operations comprise a discontinued operation as defined by IFRS 5,and that the accounting requirements for loss of control of subsidiaries are non-routine and require significant management judgement.This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment,subj
306、ectivity,and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the presentation and accuracy of the results of the discontinued operation.25Mongolia Growth Group Ltd|To address this key audit matter,we performed the following procedures:Reviewed accounting policies for discontinued operations to ensure co
307、mpliance with IFRS.Obtained a detailed understanding of the processes to allocate income and expenses to be presented as discontinued operations.Evaluated the carrying value of the disposal group at the transaction date and agreed to supporting records.Reviewed share purchase agreements to gain an u
308、nderstanding of the key terms and conditions of the sale.Verified that the consideration received was consistent with supporting documentation.Recalculated loss on disposal and loss from discontinued operations.Assessed the presentation of the results as discontinued operations and disclosure in acc
309、ordance with IFRS 5.Other Information Management is responsible for the other information.The other information obtained at the date of this auditors report includes Managements Discussion and Analysis.Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we d
310、o not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statement
311、s or our knowledge obtained in the audit,or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.We obtained Managements Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditors report.If,based on the work we have performed,we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,we are
312、 required to report that fact.We have nothing to report in this regard.Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance
313、 with IFRS Accounting Standards,and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the consolidated financial statements,management is r
314、esponsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing,as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,or has no realistic alternative but
315、to do so.Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a w
316、hole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will alw
317、ays detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.A
