San Leon Energy Annual Report 2013

Plain-text annual report

PROGRESS We strive to liberate gas from Polish shales so that everyone can share in the upcoming wealth of energy. Through this we strive to beneﬁt our shareholders, and the communities in which we operate. We strive to secure affordable, home-grown energy for Poland, generating jobs and opportunity both directly and indirectly, for generations to come. We call this Progress – and we strive for it. San Leon Energy plc Annual Report and Accounts 2013 Lewino is a small village in Northern Poland. There, we ran the most encouraging vertical shale well test in Poland to date. We sponsor its school, so that children like Łukasz Jabłoński and Wójt Gminy Linia can also beneﬁt from progress. 1 2 Kazimierz Koszałka and Justyna Kos are farmers in Lewino. Like the whole village, they expect a lot from the shale gas well we are developing there. 3 4 The Lewino countryside, in its raw beauty. All of our operations have social and environmental planning at their heart. 5 6 Roman Langa, Mayor of Lewino, sees farming and fraccing as complementary activities for his commune – both harvesting natural assets to bring wealth and prosperity. 7 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Highlights San Leon is a young oil and gas company. We develop conventional and unconventional assets in Europe and North Africa, from exploration to monetisation. 2013 was an important year for San Leon: the year when we reached critical mass, becoming one of the largest oil and gas players in Europe by acreage; the year when we started to harvest our most mature assets, moving from exploration to production. 8 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements Business review We are committed to developing our asset base. In this section we set out our strategy, the progress we have made and our current operational focus. Governance We work to strict standards of governance and responsibility. San Leon was strengthened with the appointment of Joel Price as COO, and of Piotr Rozwadowski as a Non-Executive Director. Financial statements Net assets increased by €74.3 million to €284.4 million with over €60 million invested on our exploration assets. 8 Highlights & Contents 36 Board of Directors 10 Where we are, where we go 38 Directors’ report 12 Some of our key assets 43 Statement of Directors’ responsibilities 14 Chairman’s review 22 Long-term projects 24 Exploration assets 26 Appraisal & ready to develop 28 Near-term income 30 Our operations/fraccing, before and after 44 Independent auditor’s report to the members of San Leon Energy plc 45 Consolidated income statement 47 Consolidated statement of other comprehensive income 48 Consolidated statement of changes in equity 50 Company statement of changes in equity 52 Consolidated statement of ﬁnancial position 53 Company statement of ﬁnancial position 54 Consolidated statement of cash ﬂows 55 Company statement of cash ﬂows 56 Statement of accounting policies 62 Notes to ﬁnancial statements 90 Corporate information 91 Glossary 93 Conversion 9 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Where we are, where we go WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE GO: 2008 Listed on London’s Alternative Investment Market Market capitalisation of £100 million. 2009 Gold Point Energy acquisition The Company expanded its portfolio signiﬁcantly with our ﬁrst acquisition, which captured major, high-potential shale gas concessions in Poland’s Baltic Basin. 2007 First licence San Leon was established in its current form in 2007 when it secured an interest in the Zag and Tarfaya permits in Morocco. 2011 Realm Energy acquisition This acquisition secured a further 464,000 acres in Poland’s Baltic Basin. The transaction added 2 million pending acres in Spain and a pending application for 2.5 million acres in France. Creation of NovaSeis San Leon established its subsidiary NovaSeis, to acquire onshore seismic data. 2010 Island Oil & Gas acquisition This acquisition added conventional offshore assets in the Celtic Sea as well as a number of exciting assets in the Atlantic Margin off the west coast of Ireland. In addition, San Leon increased its Moroccan onshore acreage in Zag and Tarfaya and gained interests in the Foum Draa and Sidi Moussa licences offshore Morocco. Furthermore, we added the highly prospective Durresi licence offshore Albania, to our asset portfolio. Talisman Energy farm-in San Leon signed a farm-in agreement with Talisman, whereby Talisman carried out the drilling of three wells in the Baltic Basin, Poland. Placing of shares Raised £60 million to fund the exploration programme. 10 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements 2020 Leveraging our overall asset base We ﬁrmly believe in the potential of our asset base. Together with our partners we expect to be building on the European shale success story, contributing to lower energy costs and generating value for our shareholders and investors, as well as exploiting the rest of our signiﬁcant unconventional and conventional portfolio. 2014 Getting closer to harvesting From ﬂoating on AIM in 2008, San Leon’s strong European shale position is complemented by a sizeable conventional and tight gas portfolio. We are now moving from exploration to production with signiﬁcant industry partners. 2012 Aurelian oil and gas acquisition The acquisition of Aurelian was announced in November 2012 and completed in January 2013. With the integration of Aurelian’s business and assets, San Leon effectively doubled the size of its operations. 2013 Aurelian oil and gas integration/Polish asset development Adding Aurelian’s cash resources, professional team and Polish asset base to its existing organisation, San Leon became a major player in Poland – the leading independent licence holder in that country, second in acreage only to PGNiG, the national oil and gas company. Continuing partnerships Several signiﬁcant LOIs and MOUs signed during the year. Polish assets received from Talisman San Leon received 100% interest back from Talisman on several Baltic Basin shale concessions, together with cash and noncash assets. Following its three-year farm-in agreement signed in 2010, Talisman had drilled three wells, at its cost. Lewino-1G2 – best test results so far The Lewino-1G2 frac, near Gdansk in Poland, was regarded as “textbook”, producing results described as the best single shale frac test by any company in Europe so far. Placing of shares Raised £31 million to fund our asset and operation expansion. With > 39 million gross acres in the global portfolio (>159,000 km2) San Leon becomes the leading shale hydrocarbons company in Europe by acreage. Award of the 36 km2 Timahdit oil shale block in Morocco. Lewino-1G2 frac regarded as the most successful vertical shale well test in Europe so far. €60 million capital expenditure in 2013. Two-year licence extension on the Durresi Block, our offshore Albanian acreage. Joel Price appointed as COO, having joined San Leon through the acquisition of Aurelian. Piotr Rozwadowski appointed as non- executive board member – former Vice Minister of State for the Treasury in Poland. 11 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Some of our key assets SOME OF OUR KEY ASSETS From new frontiers to near-term production, from conventional to unconventional, onshore and offshore, our assets cover the whole value chain and share two characteristics: scale, and early-mover advantage. 1 POLAND 42 LICENCES 6.8 million gross acres (c28,000 km2) The spearhead of shale plays in Europe, hedged by conventional oil and gas assets 3 1 Baltic Basin SHALE GAS AND OIL including: Lewino-1G2 well (Gdansk W concession) Rogity-1 well (Braniewo S concession) 2 Carpathian CONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS including: Niebieszczany-1 well Lachowice-7 well 3 Permian Basin CONVENTIONAL AND SHALE OIL AND GAS including: Rawicz field Siekierki field | Siciny-2 well 2 12 San_Leon_AR2014_v7.indd 12 25/06/2014 16:46 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements MOROCCO 6 LICENCES 9 million gross acres (c37,000 km2) One of the last oil and gas frontiers of North Africa, extensive, complementary plays, onshore and offshore, with excellent fiscal terms 1 Onshore: Timahdit SHALE OIL 1 2 Onshore: Zag CONVENTIONAL AND SHALE GAS 4 3 2 3 Onshore: Tarfaya CONVENTIONAL AND SHALE OIL including: Casa Mar prospect 4 Offshore: Foum Draa & Sidi Moussa CONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS San_Leon_AR2014_v7.indd 13 13 25/06/2014 16:46 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review “In a very challenging year, our many activities achieved some notable successes.” Oisín Fanning Oisín Fanniiiiiinnnggggg Executive Chairman Executive Chairman 14 2013 was an important year for San Leon: the year when we reached critical mass, becoming the largest shale hydrocarbons player in Europe by acreage, the year when we started to harvest our most mature assets, moving from exploration towards production. It was not an easy year, not for anyone in the European oil and gas industry, not for San Leon – but it was an eventful year. It was an eventful year, with the Lewino-1G2 frac, near Gdansk in Poland, which we described as “textbook”, producing results showing its potential as “the best single shale frac test by any company in Europe so far”. It was an asset-building year, including our receiving 100% interest back from Talisman on three Baltic Basin shale concessions, together with cash and non-cash assets. Following its three-year farm-in agreement signed in 2010, Talisman had drilled three wells, at its cost. Its exit was not driven by technical considerations. Our prudent management of similar assets continues as we aim to monetise them. It was a year of expansion, with among others the award of the 36 km2 Timahdit oil shale block in Morocco, and a two- year licence extension on the Durresi Block, our offshore Albanian acreage. It was a year of build-up and consolidation: since our 2008 AIM ﬂoat, we have completed four major acquisitions in four years. 2013 was the year when we integrated the largest of these acquisitions, Aurelian Oil & Gas Plc, leveraging its assets, its business and its key human resources to build our portfolio. Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements It was a year of continued deal-making, with farm-outs and sales to major partners: Braniewo in Poland to Wisent; and proposed sales of Cybinka-Torzym in Poland to Aspect Energy; and all our Irish assets, with the exception of the Barryroe oilﬁeld, to Ardilaun Energy Limited. It was a challenging year, ﬁnancially, for the whole European Exploration & Production sector. Like many of our European energy peers, our share price performance in 2013 did not reﬂect our progress, and was disappointing. Investors in smaller exploration companies remain cautious until production potential is conﬁrmed. In this demanding market, we have continued to push towards production. It was a year of transition, when we reached critical mass in Poland, the spearhead of shale gas in Europe, becoming the leading independent exploration and production company there by acreage – second only to Poland’s national oil and gas company. We are now positioned to start generating cash ﬂow from production in 2014/15, and I look forward to updating shareholders in due course. IT WAS A YEAR OF PROGRESS 15 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review INTEGRATION OF AURELIAN Operationally, the acquisition of Aurelian in January 2013, our largest to date, brought with it cash and a range of assets, together with an established technical team. Those personnel, split between the Warsaw and London offices, have provided a powerful complement to the existing San Leon staff. Of particular note was the arrival of the Company’s ﬁrst petroleum engineers, vital in accessing production. Where there was overlap, the Company made the difficult but necessary steps to reduce costs. POLAND There is currently no shale hydrocarbon production in Europe. However, Poland is the hotbed of appraisal of this promising resource and is signiﬁcantly more advanced in terms of the number of shale wells drilled and fracced than any other European country. That said, the density of wells per square kilometre remains very small compared with typical activity in the United States, meaning that appraisal has been relatively slow – the full potential of shale in Poland is still not known. San Leon’s operated well activity in 2013 was dominated by the Lewino-1G2 frac work in the Baltic Basin, and resource play stimulation work in the Main Dolomite and tight Rotliegendes ﬁelds. In the Baltic Basin, San Leon has around 1.2 million net shale acres, with the 220,000-acre Gdansk W concession being in the centre of current well activity. BNK Petroleum, 3Legs/ ConocoPhillips and PGNiG, Poland’s national exploration and production company, all have ongoing well work surrounding this acreage, where the Lewino-1G2 well is located. In May 2013 the Company regained the three Baltic Basin shale concessions from Talisman, which had been subject to a farm-in agreement signed in 2010. Talisman exited due to a revised strategy to concentrate on its core areas, rather than due to technical considerations. This provided San Leon both with assets of signiﬁcant value and with signiﬁcantly increased equity in the basin, regarded as having the most potential for shale development in Poland. Talisman drilled three wells during the farm-in agreement, at its cost. San Leon was therefore able to carry out its frac campaigns in July and November 2013 on Lewino-1G2 at 100% equity. It performed this in partnership with United Oilﬁeld Services (“UOS”), with whom an agreement was signed in May 2013 and which includes a facility for San Leon to pay at least part of fraccing costs in Company shares (at San Leon’s option). Following iteration of the frac design, the ﬁnal frac in November 2013 yielded signiﬁcant gas ﬂows and data, resulting in plans for drilling a horizontal multi-fracced well from the same location to try to prove commerciality of the play. The Company regards the November 2013 frac as the most successful of any single vertical shale well in Europe so far. The next well is expected to have a horizontal section of up to 2000 metres and planning is now well advanced. Both BNK and 3Legs/ConocoPhillips are expected to announce the results of their multi-fracced horizontal wells in the coming months. This will provide vital input to our well and frac design, in addition to the future of shale development in Poland. We look forward to being a signiﬁcant part of that future. Also in Poland, the existing Rogity-1 well on Braniewo S licence had three hydraulic fracture treatments performed by Wisent Oil & Gas, under a farm-out agreement. The positive results are being evaluated with a view to selecting the next well location to complete the farm-in work programme and to harness the potential of this concession. 16 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements MOROCCO SEISMIC In Morocco, San Leon holds c4.2 million net acres (c17,000 km2 ) of licences in one of the last remaining under-explored regions of North Africa. The mix of conventional and unconventional plays, the excellent ﬁscal terms and the high potential upside all contribute to make Morocco one of the last exploration frontiers. In 2013 we consolidated our geological interpretation of the Tarfaya play, identiﬁed the Casa Mar prospect and enlarged our portfolio at a time when major international players showed a deﬁnite uptick in their interest in the area. The award of the 36 km2 (c7,000 net acres) Timahdit oil shale block onshore Morocco was another signiﬁcant step in San Leon’s efforts to develop resources in that country. The existing tie-in with Eneﬁt for their shale oil process (see Long-Term projects), the early 2014 MOU with Chevron Lummus Global for upgrading the shale oil product and the oil shale sampling and analysis performed over the year, all point to an active future for a play which may prove capable of producing 11,000 barrels per day for 30 years. The Cairn Energy-operated Foum Draa well (offshore Morocco), which San Leon had previously farmed out with a signiﬁcant carry to protect its costs, found no commercial hydrocarbons – although evidence of an active hydrocarbon system was found. We continue to evaluate prospect on this concession. We look forward to the second offshore Morocco well, due to be spud in 2014 by Genel, which has a similar farm-out arrangement. ALBANIA 2013 saw the completion of a signiﬁcant reinterpretation of the 3D seismic on our offshore Albanian asset. With an existing discovery well helping to de-risk the prospect and a two-year licence extension secured, we have received renewed interest in farming in from a number of parties. NovaSeis, our 3D-capable seismic company, performed acquisition work on ﬁve of our assets during 2013, providing a signiﬁcant cost and availability advantage. In 2014 third- party acquisition work is additionally being actively sought both within and outside Europe. Throughout the period our NovaSeis seismic processing function has been very active, on both internal and external work. FINANCIAL REVIEW In September 2013 the Company successfully raised £31 million at 4.75 pence per share in an oversubscribed placing, to fund future operations. This was carried out in a particularly difficult funding environment for smaller E&P companies. We appreciate the conﬁdence of our existing and new shareholders during this process. At the time of the placing, an announcement was made of a proposed transaction to acquire a 75% stake in Alpay Enerji in Turkey. This was intended to provide ongoing cash ﬂow. However, a number of factors including technical due diligence, Turkish currency depreciation, and non-receipt of GDPA approval within the required timeframe, contributed to the Board’s decision not to proceed with transaction in March 2014. The Group recorded a loss from operating activities of €13.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to a loss from operating activities of €0.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. This increased loss includes the write off of exploration costs of €7.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: Nil). 17 OUTLOOK Getting closer to harvesting From ﬂoating on AIM in 2008, San Leon has become the leading shale hydrocarbons company in Europe by acreage, complemented by a sizeable conventional and tight gas portfolio. We are now poised to start moving from exploration to production – with signiﬁcant partnerships in Poland. San Leon has always prided itself in its ability to source high quality E&P assets at an opportune point in their life cycle. It then applies technical expertise to add value by maturing the assets (typically through a combination of ﬁeld work, seismic activity, desktop evaluation, and well operations) before monetising. 2013 has seen a high level of activity in terms of technical evaluation and well operations, together with signiﬁcant strides towards monetisation – we are working increasingly towards the “P” side of E&P. 2013 was a demanding year, but a year of progress on many different fronts. In 2014, we shall continue to pursue multiple routes to deliver value to our shareholders. I would like to thank our shareholders and employees for their support as we strive for progress in all areas of our operations. Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review Group operating expenses for the year were €10.9 million compared to €6.0 million for 2012. The loss from discontinued operations for the year was €3.4 million (2012: Proﬁt €398,000). Net ﬁnance income for the year was €164,000 (2012: Proﬁt €620,000). The resulting loss per share was 0.87 cent in 2013 compared to earnings per share of 0.04 cent in 2012. Total equity increased by €74.3 million to €284.4 million at 31 December 2013 (2012: €210.2 million). The completion of the Aurelian acquisition in January 2013 accounted for €62.1 million of the increase in total equity. CORPORATE Joel Price was appointed as Chief Operating Officer in November, having joined the Company through the merger with Aurelian. Joel’s technical and commercial background in geology, operations, petroleum engineering, business development and asset management, will be fully utilised in exploiting our assets – particularly as more focus is brought on appraisal and development. Piotr Rozwadowski was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. Piotr has over 25 years’ experience working in the energy sector in Poland and he was also a former Vice Minister of State for the Treasury in Poland where he was responsible for Energy and Telecoms. John Buggenhagen left San Leon in his Exploration Director and Board roles in May 2013 after four years of building the Company’s portfolio. The Company is indebted to him for his vision and technical expertise. The Company recorded no Lost Time Incidents (LTIs) in 2013, which is testament to the HSEQ commitment of all staff and contractors. We shall continue to prioritise this in all that we do. 18 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements 19 “2013 WAS A YEAR OF PROGRESS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP.” Joel Price Chief Operating Officer 20 21 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review continued LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS LONG-TERM PROJECTS Morocco Oil shale technology development The newly awarded 36 km2 Timahdit oil shale block onshore Morocco opened a new avenue of technological development: San Leon signed a MoU with Chevron Lummus Global LLC to exclusively cooperate in oil shale upgrading technology to produce high quality synthetic crude oil from the shale oil. This will be done using Eneﬁt oil shale process, a process currently used in Estonia, that can process 280 tonnes of oil shale per hour. France Shale gas licences In France, San Leon holds over 2.4 million acres (c9,000 km2) of licences under application. These are pending because of the current frac ban in France. San Leon would have ﬁrst- mover advantage in the event of the removal of the ban. 280 TONNES OF OIL SHALE PER HOUR MILLION GROSS ACRES 2.4 (9,000 km2) 22 APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements 2323 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review continued LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS EXPLORATION ASSETS Albania offshore Spain San Leon obtained a two-year licence extension, to 31 July 2015, on the Durresi Block, its offshore Albanian acreage. Together with a revised dataroom containing seismic re-interpretation and new prospects, we believe this asset is now of a quality to attract a signiﬁcant partner to spud a well during the extension period. SHALE AND CONVENTIONAL San Leon obtained two more onshore licences in Spain in 2013, further enhancing our shale acreage position in Europe and complementing that already held in Spain and France. We now hold over 1.5 million net acres (c6000 km2) in Spain, a country currently under-explored, with fewer than 500 exploration wells drilled. 2 YEAR LICENCE EXTENSION until 31 July 2015 c1.5 MILLION NET ACRES 24 APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements “IN 2013 IN MOROCCO, SAN LEON REINFORCED ITS FIRST-MOVER ADVANTAGE. WE FURTHER EXPANDED OUR ACREAGE – ALREADY ONE OF THE LARGEST IN MOROCCO FOR EXPLORATION – IN AREAS THAT SAW MAJOR PLAYERS ACTIVELY JOIN THE FIELD OR INTENSIFY THEIR INTEREST (CHEVRON, BP, TOTAL).” Walid Sinno Country Manager, Morocco Romania In the Romanian Carpathians we continued our seismic effort, acquiring 3D to de-risk and optimise the location for the Putna conventional oil play prospect, as well as identifying other prospects. Our licence extends over c350,000 gross acres (c1400 km2). The best analogue of this working hydrocarbon system is the Lopushna field, 35 km to the north in Ukraine, with 47 million barrels recoverable. Morocco MOROCCO OFFSHORE (Sidi Moussa, Foum Draa) Summer 2014 will see the spud of the Genel well on Sidi Moussa (San Leon net 8.5% interest) targeting the Noor prospect in excess of 250 million* barrels total recoverable. Cairn Energy, the Operator of the offshore Morocco Foum Draa block, in which San Leon holds a 14.33% equity interest, announced in December that the well had not found commercial hydrocarbons. We continue to evaluate the data collated from this well. San Leon’s cost exposure on that well was limited by its significant carry by Cairn. MOROCCO ONSHORE (Zag, Tarfaya) In 2014 the Zag Licence is likely to have further de-risking technical work performed prior to drilling or farm-out. We sense an appetite for Moroccan activity to move onshore with similar plays to those currently being targeted offshore. We have seen a genuine market appetite for financing projects such as oil shale and look forward to progressing feasibility studies further.

Utilising the extensive core, electric logs and offset data, in-depth studies have been performed on the well since its drilling. In July 2013 San Leon took that knowledge and applied it to the ﬁrst frac on the well, in technical partnership with United Oilﬁeld Services (UOS). The results of this ﬁrst frac were very useful in learning how best to frac in the well – it is normal in shale fraccing for there to be a number of iterations before a good frac design is found, since there are many moving parts in the engineering. A re-frac of the original July zone was performed at the end of 2013 with improvements in ﬂuid chemistry and frac pump rate. Finally, on a new frac in the top of the shale interval we achieved what can be described as a “textbook frac”, a suitable description for a job going very smoothly and with pump curves which look almost theoretical. The proof of a frac job is in the results and Lewino-1G2 delivered. After approximately 6 weeks of ﬂow, in January 2014 we reported a gas rate of 45,000 – 60,000 scf/day from the well, plus around 20 bbl of condensate per mmscf. Sigma3 our frac consultancy in Denver, estimated a rate of 200,000 – 400,000 scf/day after clean up – probably only from the poorer part of the shale interval, as the interval with the higher porosity and gas saturation is the one fracced in July. A horizontal multi-fracced well is planned and is being engineered. Such a well should be physically and logistically easier to clean up than what was, in effect, a single fracin Lewino-1G2. BRANIEWO S CONCESSION Wisent Oil & Gas signed a farm-in agreement for the Braniewo S Concession. Under the ﬁrst stages of its work obligations, Wisent performed fracs and testing in the existing Rogity-1 well. The lowermost frac targeted the tight Cambrian sandstone, while the upper two fracs were in the Ordovician and Silurian shales. Oil was recovered from both the sandstone and the shale, despite the sandstone being a secondary target of the original well design and therefore some distance from the structural crest in that reservoir formation. These positive results are being evaluated with a view to selecting the next well location to complete the farm-in work programme and to harness the potential of this concession. 200k-400k SCF/ DAY estimated after clean-up (Lewino test frac) 26 APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements Poland – Bieszczady area The partners on the existing Niebieszczany-1 well, in which we are a 25% non-operated equity holder, are discussing the next steps to try to harness the 2.4 million barrels of oil and 27 bcf of gas (2C contingent resources) on this licence. Poland – Carboniferous and Permian Basin CZASŁAW SL-1 WELL STIMULATION The Czasław SL-1 well was stimulated and ﬂowed back to test. The data obtained, including small amounts of oil and gas, have been used to model the potential for a large-scale stimulation treatment. This is one of a number of San Leon Main Dolomite wells in Poland. Others include Jany-C1, which we took over from a copper mining company, and Lelechow SL-1. CYBINKA AND TORZYM CONCESSIONS A Letter of Intent (“LoI”) was signed with Aspect Energy on the Cybinka and Torzym Concessions in Western Poland and subsequently extended in 2014 to include a frac treatment on the nearby existing Sosna-1 well. The intention is for Aspect to acquire a 22.5% equity stake (half of the Company’s share) in the concessions in exchange for carrying the Company’s costs for the drilling of two exploration wells. 27 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s review continued LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS NEAR-TERM INCOME Ireland Net Proﬁt Interest San Leon’s 4.5% Net Proﬁt Interest (NPI) on the Barryroe oil ﬁeld provides access to future revenue streams with no additional capital required.

Principal activity and future developments The principal activity of the Company is the exploration and production of oil and gas. A detailed review of activities for the year and future prospects of the Group is contained in the Chairman’s Statement and Operating Review. Results and dividends The Group loss for the year after providing for depreciation and taxation amounted to €17,051,578 (2012: proﬁt of €460,667). Net assets of the Group at 31 December 2013 are €284,446,686 (2012: €210,150,217). No dividends are proposed by the Directors. Principal risks and uncertainties The Group’s principal areas of oil and gas exploration activity are in Poland, Morocco, Ireland, Albania, Romania, Spain and Italy. The Group has a management structure and system of internal controls in place designed to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate business risk. Details of the principal ﬁnancial risks are set out in Note 32. Other risks and uncertainties are considered to be the following: Exploration risk Exploration and development activities may be delayed or adversely affected by factors outside the Group’s control, in particular, climatic conditions, performance of joint venture partners or suppliers, availability of drilling and other equipment, delays or failures in installing and commissioning plant and equipment, unknown geological conditions, remoteness of location, actions of host governments or other regulatory authorities (relating to, inter alia, the grant, maintenance or renewal of any required authorisations, environmental regulations or changes in law). Commodity price risk The demand for, and price of oil and gas is dependent on global and local supply and demand, actions of governments or cartels and general global economic and political developments. Political risk As a consequence of activities in different parts of the world, the Group may be subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including but not limited to terrorism, war or unrest, changes in national laws and energy policies and exposure to different legal systems. Environmental risk Environmental and safety legislation may change in a manner that may require stricter or additional standards than those now in effect, which could result in heightened responsibilities for the Group and potentially increased operating costs. Financial Risk Management The Group’s multinational operations expose it to different ﬁnancial risks that include foreign exchange risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and equity price risk. The Group has a risk management programme in place which seeks to limit the impact of these risks on the performance of the Group and it is the policy to manage these risks in a non-speculative manner. Currency risk Although the reporting currency is Euro, signiﬁcant transactions denominated in other currencies are entered into by the Group including exploration expenditure, other costs and equity funding, thus creating currency exposures for the Group. Share price The share price movement in the year ranged from a low of Stg£0.0375 to a high of Stg£0.0925. The share price at the year end was Stg£0.040.

Oisin Fanning Director Raymond King Director 43 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Independent auditor’s report to the members of San Leon Energy plc We have audited the Group and Parent Company ﬁnancial statements (‘’ﬁnancial statements’’) of San Leon Energy plc for the year ended 31 December 2013 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statements of Cash Flows and the related notes. The ﬁnancial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is Irish law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union, and, as regards the Parent Company ﬁnancial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013. This report is made solely to the Company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies Act, 1990. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters that we are required to state to them in the auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company or the Company’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 43, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the ﬁnancial statements giving a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the ﬁnancial statements in accordance with Irish law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting Council’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the ﬁnancial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the ﬁnancial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the ﬁnancial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of signiﬁcant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the ﬁnancial statements. In addition, we read all the ﬁnancial and non-ﬁnancial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited ﬁnancial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion on ﬁnancial statements In our opinion: (cid:900)(cid:3) the Group ﬁnancial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, of the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 December 2013 and of its loss for the year then ended; (cid:900)(cid:3) the Parent Company Statement of Financial Position gives a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013, of the state of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2013; and (cid:900)(cid:3) the ﬁnancial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 and, as regards the Group ﬁnancial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. Matters on which we are required to report by the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. The Parent Company’s Statement of Financial Position is in agreement with the books of account and, in our opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Parent Company. In our opinion the information given in the directors’ report is consistent with the ﬁnancial statements. The net assets of the Parent Company, as stated in the Parent Company Statement of Financial Position are more than half of the amount of its called-up share capital and, in our opinion, on that basis there did not exist at 31 December 2013 a ﬁnancial situation which under Section 40(1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1983 would require the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the provisions in the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 which require us to report to you, if in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions speciﬁed by law are not made.

The Group ﬁnancial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The registered office address is 1st Floor, Wilton House, Wilton Place, Dublin 2. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated ﬁnancial statement. Statement of compliance As required by AIM and ESM rules and permitted by Company Law, the Group ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The individual ﬁnancial statements of the Company (Company ﬁnancial statements) have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and as applied in accordance with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2013 which permits a Company, that publishes its Company and Group ﬁnancial statements together, to take advantage of the exemption in Section 148(8) of the Companies Act 1963, from presenting to its members its Company income statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company ﬁnancial statements. The IFRSs adopted by the EU as applied by the Company and Group in the preparation of these ﬁnancial statements are those that were effective for accounting periods ending on or before 31 December 2013 or which were early adopted as indicated below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year except for the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2013: (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 12 Income Taxes (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 19 Employee Beneﬁts (2011) (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (Amended) (cid:900)(cid:3) Recoverable amount disclosures for non-ﬁnancial assets (Amendments to IAS 36) None of these had a signiﬁcant impact on the results or ﬁnancial position of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013. Forthcoming requirements A number of new standards or amendments to existing standards as set out below have been published, endorsed by the EU and are mandatory for the Group in future accounting periods. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. In due course, the Group’s ongoing assessments to fully assess the extent of the impact of the changes prescribed by these standards on the Group’s accounting policies will be ﬁnalised. Our current expectations are as follows: (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010) (Effective 1 January 2018): Introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring ﬁnancial assets, for the classiﬁcation and measurement of ﬁnancial liabilities, and carrying over the existing de-recognition requirements for IAS 39 Financial Instruments. The standard could materially change the classiﬁcation and measurement of the Group’s ﬁnancial instruments; (not fully EU endorsed). (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 10 Consolidation Financial Statements (Effective 1 January 2014): Introduces new principles for determining how an entity should be included in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The current assessment is that this standard is not expected to change the classiﬁcation of entities in which the Group’s holds interests but this assessment is subject to ﬁnalisation. (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (Effective 1 January 2014): Replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. Requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and then account for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. The Group is currently completing an assessment of its arrangements to determine whether they fall to be classiﬁed as joint ventures or joint operations under the criteria set out in IFRS 11. Early indications are that the standard will not impact signiﬁcantly on the Group’s future ﬁnancial statements. (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (Effective 1 January 2014): Requires the extensive disclosure of information that enables users of ﬁnancial statements to evaluation the nature of, and risks associated with, interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its ﬁnancial positions, ﬁnancial performance and cash ﬂows. No signiﬁcant impact is anticipated. (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (Effective 1 January 2014): Now only deals with requirements for separate ﬁnancial statements. Requirements for consolidated ﬁnancial statements are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. No signiﬁcant impact is anticipated. 56 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) (Effective 1 January 2014): Accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. No signiﬁcant impact is anticipated. (cid:900)(cid:3) IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Effective 1 January 2014): Outlines basis for offsetting of ﬁnancial assets and liabilities. No signiﬁcant impact is anticipated. (cid:900)(cid:3) IFRIC 21 Levies (Effective 1 January 2014): Outlines the basis for how an entity should account for liabilities to pay levies imposed by governments. The impact is being considered by management. In addition, the IASB’s Annual Improvements Process, together with some minor amendments to other existing standards, are being assessed by the Group. Basis of preparation The Group and Company ﬁnancial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for ﬁnancial assets (net proﬁt interests), which are carried at fair value, and equity settled share option awards and warrants which are measured at grant date fair value. Basis of preparation – going concern The Directors have prepared a detailed cash ﬂow forecast for the Group and Company for the period from 1 May 2014 to 31 December 2015. The cash ﬂow forecast reﬂects the Directors’ plans for the on-going exploration activity across the Group’s exploration asset portfolio taking account of its licence commitments, technical team costs, administrative overhead, other ﬁnancial commitments, agreed and potential farm-ins and its available ﬁnancial resources from existing cash balances and committed facilities. The principal assumptions underlying the cash ﬂow forecast and the availability of ﬁnance to the Group are as follows: (cid:900)(cid:3) The proposed farm-outs will complete as planned with timely receipt of associated consideration; (cid:900)(cid:3) Production revenues and exploration and administrative expenditure are in line with current expectations and commitments; (cid:900)(cid:3) The sale of the Group’s Irish assets (excluding the Barryroe Net Proﬁt Interest) will complete; and (cid:900)(cid:3) The unsigned Term Sheet for a Fixed Schedule Equity Funding Agreement (“FSEFA”) between the Company and YA Global Master SPV Ltd (“YA Global”) provides the Group with a debt facility of Stg£21m accessible over a 30 month period from August 2014 (“the facility”). This Term Sheet modiﬁes the existing Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global, which remains in effect. The facility referred to above comprises 30 consecutive equity fundings of Stg£0.7m per month and is only activated when San Leon issue an activation notice to YA Global, but not before 15 July 2014. In addition, the strategy of the Directors is to mitigate risk on its exploration portfolio by monetising certain assets through outright/partial disposal of interests or securing farm-in partners on certain projects. The Directors intend, where appropriate, to continue to seek to structure such farm-ins to secure cash contributions for past costs or secure payments for future exploration activities. The Directors are engaged in on-going discussions on a number of its assets which they expect will generate cash resources to assist in ﬁnancing the Group’s exploration programme in the foreseeable future. The cash ﬂow forecast for the period to 31 December 2015 shows sufficient cash resources available to enable the Group and Company to discharge its debts as they fall due and to continue to develop its business in accordance with its strategy. The cash ﬂow forecast assumes that no drawdowns under the FSEFA debt facility will be required. After considering the cash ﬂow forecast and the underlying assumptions, sensitivities and the ﬁnancing facilities available to the Group, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to discharge its debts as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013. Functional and presentation currency These consolidated ﬁnancial statements are presented in Euro (€), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentational currency. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of ﬁnancial statements in conformity with EU IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 57 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Statement of accounting policies continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, signiﬁcant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements used in applying accounting policies that have the most signiﬁcant effect on the amounts recognised in the ﬁnancial statements include: (cid:900)(cid:3) Recoverability of intangible assets (Note 10) (cid:900)(cid:3) Recoverability of equity accounted investments (Note 11) (cid:900)(cid:3) Measurement of ﬁnancial assets (Note 16) (cid:900)(cid:3) Measurement of decommissioning provisions (Note 24) (cid:900)(cid:3) Measurement of share-based payments (Note 27) (cid:900)(cid:3) Recognition of tax losses (Note 30) Basis of consolidation The ﬁnancial information incorporates the ﬁnancial information of the Company and entities controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries). Control is the power either directly or indirectly to govern the ﬁnancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain beneﬁts from its activities. The ﬁnancial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements from the date control commences until the date that control ceases. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the ﬁnancial information of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income or expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the Group ﬁnancial statements. Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the ﬁnancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain beneﬁts from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. Acquisitions The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: (cid:900)(cid:3) the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus (cid:900)(cid:3) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less (cid:900)(cid:3) the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identiﬁable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in proﬁt or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classiﬁed as equity, it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in proﬁt or loss. Intangible assets – exploration and evaluation assets Expenditure incurred prior to obtaining the legal rights to explore an area is recognised in proﬁt or loss as incurred. All expenditure relating to licence acquisition, exploration, evaluation and appraisal of oil and gas interests, including an appropriate share of directly attributable overheads, is capitalised on a licence by licence basis. Exploration and evaluation assets are carried at cost until the exploration phase is complete or commercial reserves have been discovered. The Group regularly reviews the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets for indicators of impairment and capitalised costs are written off where the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Where commercial reserves have been established and development is approved by the Board, the relevant expenditure is transferred to oil and gas properties following assessment of impairment. Royalty Royalty assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is charged in proportion to the current year production based on total estimated production over the life of the ﬁeld. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date and, if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Estimates on impairment are limited to an assessment by the Directors of any events or changes in circumstance that would indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss arising from the review is recognised in proﬁt or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Oil and gas properties Oil and gas properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost comprises the purchase price or construction cost including any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset into operation and any estimated decommissioning provision. 58 Oil and gas properties are depleted on a unit of production basis over the estimated proven and probable reserves of the ﬁeld. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life. The residual value is the estimated amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of the asset if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. The annual rate of depreciation for each class of depreciable asset is: Office equipment Motor vehicle Plant and equipment 25% Straight line 20% Reducing balance 20%-33% Straight line Jointly controlled operations or assets The Group has entered into a number of joint arrangements on production and exploration assets that result in jointly controlled assets. The Group accounts for only its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure in relation to these jointly controlled assets. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Jointly controlled entities The Group also has entered into joint venture arrangements which are operated through jointly controlled entities. The Group accounts for its interest in these entities on an equity basis, with Group share of proﬁt or loss after tax recognised in the Income Statement and its share of other comprehensive income of the joint venture recognised in other comprehensive income. Financial ﬁxed assets – investment in subsidiaries Financial ﬁxed assets in the Company Statement of Financial Position consist of investments in subsidiary undertakings and are stated at cost less provision for impairment where applicable. Financial assets – available for sale The Group’s ﬁnancial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal, the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in other comprehensive income is included in the calculation of any gain or loss arising on disposal and recognised in proﬁt or loss. Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements Decommissioning provision A provision is made for decommissioning of oil and gas wells. The cost of decommissioning is determined through discounting the amounts expected to be payable to their present value at the date the provision is recognised and reassessed at each reporting date. This amount is regarded as part of the total investment to gain access to economic beneﬁts and consequently capitalised as part of the cost of the asset and the liability is recognised in provisions. Such cost is depleted over the life of the asset on the basis of estimated proven and probable reserves and charged to the Income Statement. The unwinding of the discount is reﬂected as a ﬁnance cost in the Income Statement over the life of the ﬁeld or well. Taxation Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for ﬁnancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable proﬁt, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they are controlled and probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable proﬁts will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax beneﬁt will be realised. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are initially translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the reporting date with gains or losses recognised in proﬁt or loss. Non-monetary items are translated using the exchange rates ruling as at the date of the initial transaction. 59 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Statement of accounting policies continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Euro at the exchange rate at the reporting date and the income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the actual exchange rates at the date of the transaction or at average exchange rates for the year where this approximates to the actual rate. Exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. Details of exchange rates used are set out in Note 32. The options issued by the Group are subject to both market-based and non-market based vesting conditions. Market conditions are included in the calculation of fair value at the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are not taken into account when estimating the fair value of awards as at grant date; such conditions are taken into account through adjusting the number of the equity instruments that are expected to vest. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs will be credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when options are converted into ordinary shares. Revenue Revenue from the sale of gas is recognised when the signiﬁcant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is when the title passes to the customer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable net of value added tax. Finance income and expenses Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal on deposit and the effective interest rate applicable. Finance expenses comprise interest or ﬁnance costs on borrowings and unwinding of any discount on provisions using the effective interest rate. Share capital Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Share based payments The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 ‘share based payments’. The Group issues share options as an incentive to certain key management and staff (including Directors), which are classiﬁed as equity settled share based payment awards. The grant date fair value of share options granted to Directors and employees under the Company’s share option scheme is recognised as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to the share based payments reserve. To the extent that the service provided to the employee in receipt of the share option is directly related to the development of exploration and evaluation assets, an element of the share based payment change is capitalised in exploration and evaluation assets. The fair value of options granted in the year has been determined by an external valuer using an appropriate valuation model as detailed in Note 27. Any grant date fair value of options granted under the company’s share option scheme that were recognised as an expense or capitalized over the vesting period (or capitalised) and are subsequently cancelled are reversed as an expense or against the exploration and evaluation asset with a corresponding debit to the share based payment reserve. Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the proﬁt or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the proﬁt or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes, share options granted to employees and warrants. Segmental reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments and for which discrete ﬁnancial information is available. All operating segments and results are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment and to assess its performance. Full details of the Group’s operating segments all of which are involved in oil and gas exploration are set out in Note 1 to the ﬁnancial statements. Assets and liabilities held for sale Non-current assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classiﬁed as held for sale. Immediately before classiﬁcation as held for sale, the assets are re-measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. 60 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements Impairment losses on initial classiﬁcation as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognised in proﬁt or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. Deﬁned Contribution Pension Scheme The Group operates a deﬁned contribution pension scheme. All contributions made are recognised in the Income Statement in the period in which they fall due. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash ﬂows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which: (cid:900)(cid:3) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; (cid:900)(cid:3) is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or (cid:900)(cid:3) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale. (cid:900)(cid:3) Classiﬁcation as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classiﬁed as held-for-sale. When an operation is classiﬁed as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of proﬁt or loss and Other Comprehensive Income is represented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year. Fair value measurement The Group has an established a process with respect to the measurement of fair values. The ﬁnance team regularly reviews signiﬁcant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classiﬁed. Signiﬁcant valuation issues are reported to the board. Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). For further detail on assumptions made in measuring level 3 fair values see the following notes: Note 16 Financial Assets, Note 22 Derivative. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value (Note 32) In accordance with IFRS 13, the group discloses its assets and liabilities held at fair value after initial recognition in the following categories: at fair value through proﬁt or loss and available for sale. With the exception of shares held in quoted entities and assets and liabilities held for sale which are classiﬁed as level 1 items under the fair value hierarchy, all assets and liabilities held at fair value are measured on the basis of inputs classiﬁed as level 3 under the fair value hierarchy on the basis that the inputs underpinning the valuations are not based on observable market data as deﬁned in IFRS 13. Where derivatives are traded either on exchanges or liquid over-the-counter markets, the Group uses the closing price at the reporting date. Normally, the derivatives entered into by the Group are not traded in active markets. The fair values of these contracts are estimated using a valuation technique that maximises the use of observable market inputs, e.g. market exchange and interest rates. All derivatives entered into by the Group are included in Level 3 and consist of share warrants issued. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method on the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The merger of San Leon and Aurelian completed on 25 January 2013, with San Leon shares issued in exchange for Aurelian shares. On Completion, San Leon shareholders owned 66% of the enlarged group with Aurelian shareholders owning the remainder. San Leon was the deemed acquirer in the transaction for the purposes of acquisition accounting under IFRS. This merger qualiﬁed as a business combination and IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ required the transaction to be recorded for ﬁnancial reporting purposes using the acquisition method. All identiﬁable assets and liabilities that satisfy the recognition criteria were included in the acquirer’s balance sheet at fair value (purchase price allocation). Fair value is deﬁned in IFRS 3 as ‘the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction’. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities were expensed as incurred. 61 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 1.

Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, Ardilaun agreed to pay San Leon Energy US$3 million, with €738,716 (US$1 million) payable immediately and the balance of US$2 million payable within twelve months of the completion of the Proposed Transaction. Ardilaun has also agreed to issue to San Leon Energy, shares equivalent to 20 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital of Ardilaun post-completion of the Proposed Transaction and prior to its intended listing on an international exchange. Prior to their reclassiﬁcation as assets held for sale the exploration and evaluation assets were impaired by €3.35 million. The impairment was determined by management by comparing the carrying value of the net assets to the proposed consideration in the transaction. The fair value of the 20% of the enlarged issue of share capital of Ardilaun was based on a recent market transaction. Held for sale assets and liabilities The assets and liabilities that will be disposed of are as follows: Assets: Exploration and evaluation assets Trade and trade receivables Cash and cash equivalents Liabilities: Decommissioning provision Trade and other payables € 15,302,394 143,638 259,321 15,705,353 5,345,211 1,026,810 6,372,021 63 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 3.

(i) The Nida exploration concession in Poland was relinquished during the year resulting in a write off of €4.7m of historical accumulated exploration costs. No capital expenditure was incurred on this licence in 2013 and the write off had no cash impact on the results for the year. In July 2012, San Leon reached an agreement with Celtique Energy Poland Sp. Z o.o. for an option to acquire a 50% working interest in the Laski concession, Permian Basin Poland in exchange for the completion of a seismic work programme. San Leon acquired this seismic data at a cost of €2.3m. However, following a technical review of the data acquired during 2013, San Leon has decided not to exercise its option to complete the acquisition of the 50% interest in the concession. The seismic acquisition costs are therefore written off. (ii) This is the net amount incurred by San Leon Energy and excludes amounts attributable to joint operating partners of €4,045,909 (2012: €0.72m). The Directors have considered the carrying value at 31 December 2013 of capitalised costs in respect of its exploration and evaluation assets. These assets have been assessed for impairment indicators and in particular with regard to remaining licence terms, likelihood of licence renewal, likelihood of further expenditures and on-going appraisals for each area, as described in the Operating Review. Based on internal assessments, the Directors have impaired the exploration and evaluation assets by €10.6 million and are satisﬁed that there are no further impairment indicators. The Directors recognise that future realisation of these oil and gas interests is dependent on future successful exploration and appraisal activities and subsequent production of oil and gas reserves. 69 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 11.

Under the terms of the arrangement, San Leon Energy will not pay any further appraisal or development costs on the Licence. The Directors have estimated the fair value of this NPI based on a technical evaluation of the licence area and with reference to a third party evaluation report prepared by RPS Energy in February 2011 for Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc, which estimated the net present value of 100% of the licence at USD 1.14 billion on a P50 case and NPV at a 10% discount rate. The Directors note that Providence announced an update on the Barryroe licence area in April 2013 which stated “Following acquisition and interpretation of the new 2011 3D seismic data together with the subsequent drilling and testing of the 48/24-10z Barryroe appraisal well in 2012, Providence retained the services of Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI) to carry out a third party contingent resource audit (CPR) of the in place hydrocarbon and recoverable resources for the Basal Wealden oil reservoir. NSAI have reported that the Basal Wealden oil reservoir has a 2C in-place gross on-block volume of 761 MMBO with recoverable resources of 266 MMBO and 187 BCF of associated gas, based on a 35% oil recovery factor. A third party (CPR) audit of the overlying Middle Wealden, which was carried out by RPS Energy (RPS) in 2011, reported a 2C in-place gross on-block volume of 287 MMBO with technically recoverable resources of 45 MMBO and 21 BCF of associated gas, based on a 16% oil recovery factor. The total combined audited gross on block 2C recoverable resources at Barryroe therefore amount to 346 MMBOE, comprising 311 MMBO and 208 BCF”. The full text of the Providence announcement is set out on our website.” The Directors also note that Providence announced a further update on the Barryroe licence area in July 2013, in which NSAI provided an estimate of the cash ﬂows attributable to Providence’s net interest from the Basal Wealden oil reservoir only. It estimated Providence’s net present value at USD 2.63 billion in the 2C case (estimated recoverable resources of 266 MMBO and 187 BCF of associated gas) at a 10% discount rate. Further details are available on the Providence Resources website. Notwithstanding the increased resource estimates set out by the licence operator, no further information has been made available regarding the revised development plan or development costs which are key inputs into the valuation model. As San Leon are not the operator of this licence, the Group does not have the ability to commission an independent technical evaluation of the licence area. Therefore, the directors believe that the RPS Energy report valuation remains the best basis for the estimate of fair value at year end. The key information relevant to the fair value of the Barryroe 4.5% net proﬁt interest is as follows: Valuation technique Signiﬁcant unobservable inputs Third party evaluation report prepared by RPS Energy in 2011 based on a net present value of future cash ﬂows model.

Reserves and non-controlling interest The Statement of Changes in Equity outlines the movement in reserves during the year. Further details of these reserves are set out below: Currency translation reserve The currency translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the ﬁnancial statements of foreign operations. Share based payments reserve The share based payments reserve comprises the fair value of all share options which have been charged over the vesting period, net of the amount relating to share options which have expired, been cancelled and have vested. Non-controlling interest The non-controlling interest relates to shares to be issued by San Leon Energy plc to the holders of exchangeable shares issued as part consideration for the acquisition of Realm Energy International Corporation in 2011. The exchangeable shares do not have any voting or dividend rights and are exchangeable on a one for one basis into ordinary shares of San Leon Energy plc. Available for sale fair value reserve The available for sale fair value reserves comprises fair value adjustments arising on Group’s available for sale ﬁnancial assets (Note 16). 27. Share based payments Prior to 31 December 2012, the Group had one share based payment scheme for executives and senior employees of the Group. In accordance with the provisions of the plan, as approved by shareholders at a previous general meeting, executives and senior employees may be granted options to purchase ordinary shares. Each share option converts into one ordinary share of San Leon Energy Plc on exercise and options do not carry rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. The options vest in tranches subject to the achievement of certain service and non-market performance conditions. 79 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 27. Share based payments continued Market conditions in relation to the achievement of share price trading levels also apply in the case of certain options granted to the Directors, further details of which are set out in the Directors’ Report. During the ﬁrst quarter of 2013, this scheme was replaced by a more formal Share Option Plan, which will govern all future awards of share options made by San Leon. All employees, and certain Directors and consultants, may from time to time be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus to be awarded in the form of options over San Leon Ordinary shares. Historic options in respect of San Leon shares will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions set out in the historic share based payments scheme. The Group’s equity share options are equity settled share based payments as deﬁned in IFRS 2: Share Based Payments. The total share based payment charge for the year has been calculated based on grant date fair value obtained using an option pricing model with a discount for market conditions applied based on a Monte Carlo simulator analysis where appropriate. The charge for the year is €3,821,953 (2012: €3,457,478). The movement on outstanding share options and warrants during the year was as follows: Balance at beginning of the ﬁnancial year Granted during the year Forfeit during the ﬁnancial year Exercised during the ﬁnancial year Expired during the ﬁnancial year Balance at end of the ﬁnancial year Exercisable at end of the ﬁnancial year 2013 2012 Number of options/ warrants 184,389,731 59,633,119 (32,355,229) – (18,646,615) 193,021,006 114,243,096 Weighted average exercise price Number of options/ warrants £0.153 246,934,545 £0.067 64,862,084 £0.051 (34,425,000) – (2,970,000) £0.217 (90,011,898) £0.127 184,389,731 £0.124 127,619,731 Weighted average exercise price £0.189 £0.105 £0.2414 £0.075 £0.1745 £0.153 £0.138 The range of exercise prices of outstanding options/warrants at year end is £0.04-£0.62 (2012: £0.04-£0.37). The weighted average remaining contractual life for options/warrants outstanding at 31 December 2013 is 3.95 years (2012: 4.01 years). The weighted average share price when options/warrants were exercised during the year ended 31 December 2012 was £0.094. No options or warrants were exercised in 2013. The following table lists the fair value of options granted and the inputs to the models used to calculate the grant date fair values of awards granted in 2013 and 2012: Weighted average fair value of options granted during year Weighted average share price of options at date of grant Dividend yield Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected option life Expected early exercise % Model used 2013 £0.042 £0.077 0% 65% 1.1%-1.7% 7-10 years 10% Binomial/Monte Carlo 2012 £0.059 £0.110 0% 65%-70% 0.5%-1.4% 7-10 years 10% Binomial/Monte Carlo The expected life used in the model is based on the expectation of Management including the probability of meeting market conditions (where applicable) attaching to the option and behavioural considerations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. Expected volatility is based on an analysis of the historical volatility of San Leon Energy Plc shares and comparable listed entities. The fair value is measured at the date of grant. 80 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements 28. Acquisitions (i) Acquisition of Aurelian Oil & Gas Plc San Leon Energy Plc acquired the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Aurelian Oil & Gas Limited (formerly Aurelian Oil & Gas PLC) (“Aurelian”) by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the English Companies Act 2006, effective on 25 January 2013, for €62m. Prior to the acquisition, Aurelian was listed on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market, with exploration assets based predominantly in Poland and Romania. The acquisition of Aurelian brought with it cash and a range of assets, together with an established technical team. The Company has reduced costs through economies of scale. In the eleven months to 31 December 2013, Aurelian contributed a loss of €2,443,174 to the Group’s results. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2013, management estimates that the consolidated loss for the year of the Group would have been €18,762,757. The costs incurred from 1 January to the takeover date include redundancy payments and one off costs associated with the transaction. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments, that arose on the acquisition date would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2013. Under the terms of the acquisition, each Aurelian shareholder was entitled to receive 1.3 San Leon shares for each Aurelian share they held. The fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired are set below: Exploration and evaluation assets Property, plant and equipment Equity accounted investments Current assets excluding cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other payables Net assets acquired Consideration paid: Issue of ordinary shares of San Leon Energy Contingent consideration – replacement share options relating to past service (ii) Total consideration (i) (i) Excludes acquisition costs of €225,000.

The fair value is calculated using the Black Scholes model and assumptions consistent with those used in calculating the fair value of share based payments as outlined in Note 27. The fair value charge recognised as part of the consideration reﬂects the extent to which the options awarded reﬂect past service by the relevant individuals. The portion of the fair value charge for options granted by San Leon that is related to a future service requirement in accordance with the vesting terms of the options will be recognised as a post acquisition charge in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Group exchanged equity-settled share-based payment awards held by employees of Aurelian (the acquiree’s awards) for equity-settled share-based payment awards of the Company (the replacement awards). The details of the acquiree’s awards and replacement awards were as follows. 81 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 28.

Net cash ﬂow arising on acquisition Cash acquired with subsidiary Vesting date: 8 December 2011 to 7 December 2015 Service condition €936,419 € 31,897,712 (ii) Acquisition of Talisman Energy Polska Sp. Z.o.o. In May 2013, San Leon signed a share purchase agreement with Talisman, whereby San Leon Energy B.V. acquired the entire issued share capital of Talisman’s Polish subsidiary, Talisman Energy Polska Sp. z o.o. (“Talisman Polska”). In consideration, San Leon Energy B.V. assumed all assets and obligations of Talisman Polska. As a result of this transaction, San Leon has now regained 100% ownership of the Gdansk W and Braniewo S concessions and increased its interest to 50% on the Szczawno concession. In February 2010, Talisman signed a farm-in agreement to earn a 30% working interest in the three concessions in return for performing certain commitments, including drilling one well in each concession, with the option to increase its interest to 60% by drilling a further well in each concession. Prior to the completion of the transaction, Talisman had drilled one vertical well in each concession at a combined cost of approximately €27.8 million as detailed on the table below. Talisman had carried San Leon on all expenses related to the drilling of these three wells. A summary of the book value of assets and liabilities acquired at the date of the transaction and the gain recognised by San Leon on the transaction is set out below: Exploration and evaluation assets Inventory of drilling equipment, tubing and casing Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Net assets acquired in Talisman Polska Cash received by San Leon Gain arising on acquisition Book value at transaction date € 27,863,672 2,344,090 50,612 603,344 (131,790) 30,729,928 Asset/ (liability) value recognised € – – 50,612 603,344 (323,174) 330,782 3,898,495 4,229,277 The Directors have considered the appropriate accounting treatment to be applied to the above transaction and have formed the view that the acquisition of Talisman Polska does not fulﬁl the criteria to be treated as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3: Business Combinations. Accordingly no asset value on the acquisition has been recognised in respect of the exploration and evaluation assets or inventory received on the transaction. This is due to the Group’s existing policy whereby exploration and evaluation assets and inventory are initially recognised at cost to the Group, with the cost deemed to be nil on this transaction as no consideration is payable by San Leon on the takeover of Talisman Polska. 82 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements 29.

(c) Avobone arbitration San Leon announced on 11 April 2013 that it had received notice from the Secretariat of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (‘ICC’) conﬁrming the submission of a Request for Arbitration (‘Request’) submitted by Avobone N.V. and Avobone Poland B.V. (together, ‘Avobone’) in relation to the purchase by Aurelian Oil & Gas, San Leon’s subsidiary, of Avobone’s 10% shares and loans in Energia Zachód Sp. z o.o. – the titleholder of the Siekierki asset. San Leon has reviewed the Request with counsel and believes that the claims are substantially without merit. San Leon is contesting these claims robustly. The Company believes that the claims will not have any impact on its on-going operations. 30.

Financial instruments and ﬁnancial risk management The Group and Company’s principal ﬁnancial instruments comprise trade receivables, available for sale ﬁnancial assets, other ﬁnancial assets, trade payables and cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of these ﬁnancial instruments is to provide ﬁnance for the Group and Company’s operations. The Group has various other ﬁnancial assets and liabilities such as receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The Group and Company’s ﬁnancial assets and liabilities are classiﬁed as: (cid:900)(cid:3) Loans and receivables: all trade and other receivables, amounts due to and from subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents as disclosed in the statement of ﬁnancial position; (cid:900)(cid:3) Available for sale: ﬁnancial assets – net proﬁt interest and quoted investments as described in Note 16; and (cid:900)(cid:3) Liabilities at amortised cost: all trade and other payables and loans and borrowings as disclosed in the statement of ﬁnancial position. The main risks arising from the Group and Company’s ﬁnancial instruments are foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and capital management. Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks in a non-speculative manner which are summarised below. (a) Currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on transactions denominated in a currency, other than the relevant functional currency of the entities of the Group which consist of Euro, Sterling, US Dollars, Polish Zloty, Moroccan Dirhams, Romanian Lei and Canadian Dollars. The Euro is the presentation currency for ﬁnancial reporting and budgeting. The Group manages its exposure by matching receipts and payments in the same currency and monitoring the residual net cash position. During the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Group did not utilise either forward currency contracts or other derivatives to manage foreign currency risk. At 31 December 2013, the Group’s principal exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows: Trade and other receivables (Note 18) Trade and other payables (Note 21) Provisions (Note 24) Loans and borrowings (payable within one year) (Note 23) Cash and cash equivalents (Note 20) Other ﬁnancial assets (Note 19) Deferred Tax Total 2013 Total 2012 Denominated in GBP£ € (72,837) (645,533) – – Denominated in US$ € 2,511,816 (1,007,863) – – Denominated in PLN € (593,071) (1,363,798) – – Denominated in CAD € 6,709 (107,819) (1,397,095) – Denominated in LEI € 4,169,638 (941,653) – – 6,922,197 – – 6,203,827 96,415 952,088 1,522,732 – 3,978,773 (5,672,397) 504,239 – (9,329,477) (10,782,107) 1,265,136 24,701 – – (1,473,504) (1,456,627) 38,246 – – 3,266,231 – 85 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 32. Financial instruments and ﬁnancial risk management continued At 31 December 2013, the Company’s principal exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows: Trade and other receivables (Note 18) Trade and other payables (Note 21) Loans and borrowings (payable within one year) (Note 23) Cash and cash equivalents (Note 20) Financial assets Total 2013 Total 2012 Denominated in GBP£ € 706,657 (21,000,097) – 274,277 3,966,486 (16,052,677) (204,946) Denominated in US$ € 2,511,816 (994,528) – 508,268 – 2,025,556 (2,159,486) Denominated in PLN € 42,121,305 (110,591) – 360 – 42,011,074 34,682,517 Denominated in CAD € – (3,615,543) – 175 – (3,615,368) (663) The euro exchange rates used in the preparation of the ﬁnancial statements were as follows: Sterling US Dollars Polish Zloty Canadian Dollars Romanian Lei 2013 2012 Average rate 0.8493 1.3281 4.1975 1.3684 4.4195 Closing rate 0.8337 1.3791 4.1543 1.4671 4.4710 Average rate 0.8109 1.2848 4.1847 1.2842 4.4588 Closing rate 0.8161 1.3194 4.0740 1.3137 4.4445 Sensitivity analysis If the Euro increased by 1% in value against the above currencies, the Group’s proﬁt for the year would increase and equity at year end would decrease by approximately €24,000. A 1% decrease in the Euro value would have an equal but opposite effect. If the Euro increased by 1% in value against the above currencies, the Company’s loss for the year would increase and equity at year end would decrease by approximately €254,000. A 1% decrease in the Euro value would have an equal but opposite effect. (b) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that any counter-party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in ﬁnancial loss to the Group. The Group and Company’s ﬁnancial assets (excluding Financial Assets – Net Proﬁt Interest, see (f) Fair values) comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Due to the nature of trade and other receivables, there is no signiﬁcant exposure to credit risk on these assets. The credit risk on amounts receivable from joint operating partners is managed by agreeing budgets in advance with partners and where appropriate collecting any material share of exploration costs from partners in advance of completing the exploration work programme. The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is considered limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. The Group also holds limited funds for day to day operational purposes with Irish banking institutions which are subject to guarantee by the Irish government. The Group and Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated and company statement of ﬁnancial position. The Group does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. None of the Group and Company’s ﬁnancial assets are past due and no impairments have been recorded. 86 Overview | Business review | Governance | Financial statements Details of cash deposits, which are all for terms of one month or less are as follows: Euro Sterling US Dollar Polish Zloty Canadian Dollar Moroccan dirhams Romanian Lei Other 2013 € 2,668,313 6,697,097 952,089 504,239 24,701 536,114 38,246 169 11,420,968 2012 € 322,886 630,900 180,557 41,302 82,316 566,601 – 237 1,824,799 Cash deposits held by the Company total €7,789,260 at the reporting date (2012: €1,648,896), comprised of €2,503,580 in Euro, €4,240,591 in Sterling, €508,440 in US Dollars, €536,114 in Moroccan Dirhams and other €535. (c) Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not have sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash ﬂows and matching the maturity proﬁles of ﬁnancial assets and liabilities. Cash forecasts are produced to identify the liquidity requirements of the Group. Surplus cash is placed on deposit in accordance with limits and counterparties agreed by the Board, with the objective to maximise return on funds whilst ensuring that the short term cash requirements of the Group are maintained. All cash and cash equivalents are due within three months. All trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are due within three months. The Group’s ﬁnancial liabilities at 31 December 2013 are as follows: Group Trade and other payables and Derivative (Note 21 & Note 22) Loans and borrowings (Note 23) Delta Hydrocarbons BV loan (Note 23) Company Trade and other payables and Derivative (Note 21 & Note 22) Loans and borrowings (Note 23) Delta Hydrocarbons BV loan (Note 23) Less than 1 year € 6,436,645 – – 6,436,645 Less than 1 year € 29,767,837 – – 29,767,837 One to two years € – – – – One to two years € – – – – Two to ﬁve years € – – – – Two to ﬁve years € – – – – Total € 6,436,645 – – 6,436,645 Total € 29,767,837 – – 29,767,837 The contractual cash ﬂows are equal to the carrying value of the ﬁnancial liabilities included in the tables above. (d) Interest rate risk The Group and Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group and Company’s holdings of cash and short term deposits. It is the Group and Company’s policy to place surplus funds on short term deposit in order to maximise interest earned whilst maintaining adequate short term liquidity for operational requirements. 87 Annual Report and Accounts 2013 San Leon Energy plc Notes to ﬁnancial statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2013 32. Financial instruments and ﬁnancial risk management continued (e) Capital risk management The Group and Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group and Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may adjust or issue new shares or raise debt. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012. The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained losses as disclosed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity together with long term borrowings. Shareholders have granted authority to the Directors to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in respect of a rights issue or any issue of equity securities for cash up to an aggregate amount of ten per cent of the nominal value of the Company’s issued share capital. The power will expire on the earlier of 28 December 2014 or the date of the annual general meeting of the Company in 2014. San Leon has entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with YA Global Master SPV Ltd (“Yorkville”), an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors LLC, for a GBP15 million equity line of credit. Under the terms of the agreement San Leon may draw down funds from time to time, at its sole discretion, in exchange for the issue of new shares in the capital of the Company. The term of this facility has been extended to 31 October 2014. The shares issued by the Company will be priced at a 6% discount to the prevailing market price at the time of the draw down. The Company may also set a minimum price for each draw down to ensure the Company receives an acceptable price. No draw down of funds has occurred to date on this facility. An unsigned Term Sheet for a Fixed Schedule Equity Funding Agreement between the Company and Yorkville provides the Group with a debt facility of Stg£21m accessible over a 30 month period from August 2014. This Term Sheet modiﬁes the existing Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Yorkville, which remains in effect.
