This well is transformational for San Leon. 01pg. pg.02 MANAGING assets 03pg. We manage and develop our assets in the ﬁ eld: We manage and develop our assets technically and commercially: Last year San Leon or its partners conducted operations on six wells, from conventional gas to shale oil and gas. Our Warsaw technical hub evaluates and enhances the value of our assets, while our London and Dublin teams provide corporate and business development support. pg.04 RESPECTING communities & the environment Th is begins with the natural assets we extract. 05pg. 05pg. For us, the end does not justify the means: All our operations, be it conventional oil and gas drilling, as in the Rawicz well, or shale gas fraccing, as in the Lewino well, respect their local environment and all bring value to the local communities where we operate. pg.06 CREATING value for our Shareholders and wealth for Poland and the EU 07pg. 07pg. Rawicz-12 is a signiﬁ cant gas discovery in one of the highest-priced gas markets in Europe, and beneﬁ ts from an existing gas infrastructure nearby. It is expected to be beneﬁ cial not only for our shareholders, but for Poland and the EU as a whole. This is a step towards energy independence for Poland as well as a strong, positive signal about the future of energy production and supply security in Europe. pg.08 09pg. PROGRESS TO PRODUCTION San Leon Energy plc Annual Report and Accounts 2014 Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Highlights Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements San Leon is a progressive oil and gas company. We develop conventional and unconventional assets in Europe and North Africa, from exploration to monetisation. For San Leon, 2014 was a transformational year when we struck a deal to have wells drilled in our Rawicz ﬁ eld, which in 2015 is expected to be the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years. The Company has weathered the storm of lower oil prices and the resulting impact on industry activity, and is emerging with a strategy for 2015 and beyond which is based upon establishing production and cashﬂ ow. 0pg. pg.10 Financial Statements Over €20 million invested on our exploration assets. 46 Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of San Leon Energy plc 48 Consolidated Income Statement 49 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income 50 Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity 52 Company Statement of Changes in Equity 54 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position 55 Company Statement of Financial Position 56 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 57 Company Statement of Cash Flows 58 Notes to Financial Statements 101 Corporate Information 102 Glossary 104 Conversion 11pg.

In conjunction with the Placing announcement, the Company set out its future strategy of securing cashﬂ ow from existing assets. This strategy, designed to transform San Leon into a position of strong and sustained growth, is outlined on the following pages. 2014 Broad-based operational success. Excellent operational results in both unconventional (Lewino shale gas, onshore Poland) and conventional (Rawicz gas ﬁ eld, onshore Poland, drilled in 2014 and tested in early 2015) demon- strate the Company's push towards development and cash ﬂ ow,, as well as the portfolio approach to play types. Aurelian oil and gas acquisition The acquisition of Aurelian was announced in November 2012 and completed in January 2013. With the integration of Aureli- an’s business and assets, San Leon eff ectively doubled the size of its operations. Getting closer to harvesting From ﬂ oating on AIM in 2008, San Leon’s strong European shale position is com- plemented by a sizeable conventional and tight gas portfolio. 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 Listed on London’s Alternative Investment Market Market capitalisation of £100 million. Gold Point Energy acquisition The Company expanded its portfolio signiﬁ cantly with our ﬁ rst acquisition, which captured major, high-potential shale gas concessions in Poland’s Baltic Basin. pg.12 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 applica- tion for 2.5 million acres in France. Creation of NovaSeis San Leon established its subsidiary NovaSeis, to acquire onshore seismic data. Island Oil & Gas acquisition This acquisition added conven- tional off shore 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 off shore Morocco. Furthermore, we added the highly prospec- tive Durresi licence off shore 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. Major partnering deal with Palomar Natural Resources on the Rawicz and Siekierki ﬁ elds. Onshore Morocco Timahdit oil shale project moved a step closer to development with the successful small-scale trial of oil extraction using Eneﬁ t technology, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Chevron Lummus Global LLC for shale oil upgrading technology. Lewino-1G2 frac regarded as the most successful vertical shale well test in Europe so far. Horizontal multi-frac well now engineered and awaiting partnering, to try to prove commerciality of this huge resource. € 20m capital expenditure in 2014. Off shore Morocco Sidi Moussa SM-1 well drilled and tested, recovering high quality oil. While no sustained ﬂ ow was possible, it provides invalu- able information on next steps. Two shallow wells were drilled in the Karpaty area, onshore Poland, targeting gas. Although gas was found, it was uncommercial in each case. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Where We Are, Where We Go Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements pg.14 2015 + : Production and cashﬂ ow PROGRESS Before publication of this Annual Report, San Leon announced its intention to com- plete a major fundraising pursuant to a proposed conditional placing of New Ordinary Shares in the Company. The Placing will put the Company in a position of strength with regard to existing and future operations and will fund growth. San Leon is intent on transforming its focus from exploration to appraisal, development and production, thus securing operational cash ﬂ ow. 15pg. Th e main reasons for the Placing are to: - enable San Leon to retain its Barryroe NPI rather than monetising it to fund operations - provide any incidental capital, to develop the Rawicz and Siekierki ﬁ elds - enable commitment wells to be drilled onshore Morocco (on the Tarfaya licence) and in Albania (on the Durresi licence) - allow the exploitation of other high value existing assets within the Company’s portfolio - enable acquisitions where they would enhance the new Company strategy at a time when a proven Operator with liquidity is in a strong buying position Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Where We Are, Where We Go Ireland LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME OIL GAS TIGHT OIL & TIGHT GAS SHALE GAS OIL SHALE pg.16 Some of Our KEY ASSETS From new frontiers to near-term production, from conventional to unconventional, onshore and off shore, our assets cover the whole value chain and share two characteristics: scale, and early-mover advantage. Poland France Romania Albania 17pg. Spain Morocco Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s Review Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements “Rawicz is the well we have been waiting for - a signiﬁ cant gas discovery in one of the highest-priced gas markets in Europe.” pg.18 pg.18 Oisín Fanning Executive Chairman 2014 was a transformational year for San Leon Energy and for the whole energy industry, but for diﬀ erent reasons. For key energy players around the world, 2014 was the year when the price of oil fell signiﬁ cantly, putting enormous pressure on their ﬁ nancial performances and share prices, forc- ing some of them to cut costs and jobs. For San Leon, 2014 was the year when one of our assets, the Rawicz-12 well on the Rawicz gas ﬁ eld in South- western Poland, tested at a highly successful 4.5 million standard cubic feet per day. 2014 saw San Leon move considerably closer to its production and cash ﬂ ow goal, enhanced by the placing announced in June 2015. The partnership deal, struck in July 2014 with Palomar Natural Resources around its Rawicz and Siekierki ﬁ elds, involves signiﬁ cant work programmes and an up-front payment to the Company of $20 million, positioning San Leon for near-term production. Rawicz saw the ﬁ rst well drilled since the 1980s, and in early 2015, after the reporting period, we announced a highly successful well test which is expected to lead to Rawicz being the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years. This has now booked material reserves for San Leon. Siekierki has an existing stock of three wells that tested at 3 mmscf/d each. Poland Besides Rawicz and Siekierki, the signiﬁ cant success of the Lewino-1G2 well in the Gdansk W concession in Poland’s Baltic Basin makes it the most successful single shale frac in a vertical well in Europe. During 2014 a horizontal multi-fracced well was fully designed and engineered and is now the subject of ongoing farm-out activity. Other Operators’ work in this area adds further weight to there being a signiﬁ cant chance that the planned well could prove the commerciality of this enormous play potential. Other well activity has been less successful. The Company carried out drilling in two wells in its three well shallow drilling programme in Poland. Unfortu- nately neither well ﬂ owed commercial hydrocarbons, and the results will be used to high-grade the port- folio. Niwiska, the third well in the programme, has been put on hold due to the low oil price. Morocco The SM-1 well off shore Morocco, operated by Genel Energy, recovered high quality oil during drilling and testing, but did not achieve sustained ﬂ ow and was plugged and abandoned. San Leon was carried for part of the well cost, although the drilling problems encountered and the addition of well testing to the programme, required material funding by the Company. The Company expects follow-up well activity on the block. Onshore, preparations were made to drill our ﬁ rst well in the Tarfaya licence, in the conventional Terti- ary sandstone. 19pg. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s Review The 36 Km2 (c7000 acres) Timahdit oil shale licence continues to show real promise. In August 2014, surface and core samples of oil shale were bench tested by Eneﬁ t in Germany to assess the ability of the Eneﬁ t process to generate shale oil. The re- sults, announced in January 2015, prove the Eneﬁ t process (which is already used in Estonia) to be applicable to the Company’s acreage, with attrac- tive yields per tonne of rock, and will now be used to assess the effi ciency of the Chevron Lummus upgrading technology on the shale oil. Corporate Outlook Our Company is now poised to generate cash ﬂ ow from 2016, starting with the Rawicz gas ﬁ eld, followed by Siekierki, and then joined in 2018 by the Barryroe oil ﬁ eld, off shore Ireland. The proposed recent placing will enable the Company to retain and beneﬁ t from those assets, as well as to execute other exciting activities from the portfolio. Immediate priorities are drilling the Tarfaya-1 gas well, onshore Morocco, and a well in Albania using an onshore drilling location to target an off shore oil target. Signiﬁ cant eff orts have been made to manage costs. The Company has exited Germany and Slovakia, and relinquished all or part of a number of Polish licences. The Warsaw offi ce has been moved to new premises, roughly halving its rental overhead. During 2014 I agreed with the Board that I would take 80 per cent of my salary in Company shares from 1st January 2015. These shares will be issued in due course. While deal-making in the Exploration & Production sector has slowed with the depressed oil price, we continue to experience signiﬁ cant interest in many of our assets. In particular, the Baltic Basin shale and tight sandstone assets in Poland are ripe for further appraisal and are considered by San Leon to be on the cusp of proving commerciality. In addition, our Romanian assets combine a discovery with a variety of exploration targets that are ready to drill. pg.20 Once again the Company recorded no Lost Time Incidents (LTIs) for the year, reﬂ ecting the ﬁ rm HSEQ commitment of all staff and contractors. It remains our top priority. I believe San Leon now has the critical mass to capi- talise on its cash ﬂ ow and existing assets and to de- liver the shareholder value that we have been work- ing towards. The proposed increase in ToscaFund's stake in the Company to approximately 42% makes San Leon strong and resilient, and positions us as one of the few AIM production growth stories.

Our relationships in these asset locations are a fundamental part of our ability to perform eff ectively, and are hard for anyone else to replicate. We take assets from exploration, through appraisal, to development (cash ﬂ ow). This is supplemented by long-term projects such as our oil shale. 25pg. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman’s Review continued Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements pg.26pg.26 How we diversify our ASSETS From conventional to unconventional resources in both gas and oil OIL Conventional oil has been the backbone of the E&P industry for a century, and it forms a component of our portfolio in every country in which we have assets. GAS Conventional gas typically requires no hydraulic fracturing to extract, and is targeted in many Polish assets – including the recent Rawicz discovery. SHALE GAS Shale gas has transformed the US economy and Poland is at the forefront of eff orts to commercialise it in Europe (such as our Baltic Basin concessions). Developing this resource involves the use of hydraulic fracturing to release gas that is otherwise tightly held in shale rock. TIGHT OIL & TIGHT GAS 27pg. Tight oil and tight gas also requires hydraulic fracturing, but in low-permeability sandstone rather than shale (such as gas in the Siekierki ﬁ eld, and oil in the Cambrian of the Braniewo S concession, both in Poland). OIL SHALE Oil shale is shale rock which is mined, crushed and processed to release oil contained within it. The resulting shale oil may be sold as a raw product, or upgraded to a higher-value synthetic crude. pg.28 pg.28 PROGRESS We stand for it. We strive for it. 29pg. 29pg. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman's Review continued Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME LONG-TERM PROJECTS Morocco Oil shale technology development The 36 Km2 Timahdit oil shale block onshore Mo- rocco moved a step closer to development with the testing of the Eneﬁ t oil shale process on 10 tonnes of oil shale samples from the block, in what is eff ec- tively a small-scale version of the plant operational in Estonia. Positive results were obtained, showing that the shale is suitable for the Eneﬁ t process, has a high yield of shale oil, and can be run eff ectively at a relatively low temperature (thus reducing power requirements). A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in 2013 with Chevron Lummus Global LLC to cooperate in oil shale upgrading technology to produce high quality synthetic crude oil from the shale oil, and results from the Eneﬁ t trial are being provided to them. An update to the existing pre-feasibility study for developing the asset is expected to be carried out by a major engineering company in due course. France Shale gas licences In France, San Leon continues to hold over 2.4 mil- lion acres (c9,000 Km2) of licences under application. These are pending due to the current moratorium in France. In the event of France lifting the moratorium, San Leon would have ﬁ rst mover advantage. Our position is retained at a very low cost. Spain Shale gas In Spain, we hold more than 1.5 million acres which contain signiﬁ cant gas potential. As with France, this position is held at a low cost to the Company. pg.30 Oil shale could supply 11,000 BARRELS of oil per day for 30 YEARS once developed 31pg. 31pg. 31 Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman's Review continued Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME EXPLORATION ASSETS Albania off shore The Company’s licence extension on its off shore Albania Durresi block continues to July 2015. Despite plenty of interest, securing a farm-in partner for a high cost off shore oil well has proved diffi cult in the oil price climate of the past nine months as some com- panies’ budgets have become constrained. San Leon will instead now drill an exploration well targeting an off shore Burdigalian carbonate from an onshore location. This is a substantial prospect, with a best estimate of around 11 mmbbl oil and some associated gas, and from a wellsite location that is in close proximity to an oil reﬁ nery and gas infrastructure. pg.32 pg.32 Spain Conventional San Leon holds over 1.5 million net acres (c6000 Km2) in Spain, a country currently under-explored, with fewer than 500 exploration wells drilled. Conventional potential exists here, in addition to the shale prospectivity already mentioned under the "Long-Term Projects" section. Morocco MOROCCO OFFSHORE (Sidi Moussa, Foum Draa) The Genel-operated well on Sidi Moussa (San Leon net 10.0% interest) targeting the Noor oil prospect was drilled in the second half of 2014. High qual- ity oil (26 API) was recovered during drilling and testing operations, but no sustainable hydrocarbon ﬂ ow was possible. The extensive dataset gathered is being analysed to determine next steps on the licence. Cost exposure to San Leon was reduced by a signiﬁ cant carry. The Foum Draa block, in which San Leon holds a 14.33% equity interest, continues to be evaluated by Operator, Cairn Energy, following the drilling of a well in late 2013. MOROCCO ONSHORE (Zag, Tarfaya) A commitment well targeting Tertiary channel sands will be drilled in 2015 in the onshore Tarfaya licence. This is updip of gas found in an old well, and within easy pipeline distance of a phosphate production plant for marketing gas. Several other channel sands would be follow-on prospects in the event of suc- cess, and deeper stacked horizons also exist. The extensive Zag licence continues to be evalu- ated and may be the subject of further geophysical surveying in the medium term. Poland During the last year a three-well shallow drilling programme was planned in Poland, targeting gas in the Karpaty area (in conjunction with 40% partner PGNiG) and oil in the Permian Basin (as the ﬁ nal stage of a farm-in agreement with Celtique Energy). The Kęty and Gierałtowice wells in the Karpaty area were both drilled and well tested, but in each case the gas rate tested was sub-commercial. The wells have been plugged and abandoned. Data acquired during the drilling will be used to re-evaluate the blocks and develop a forward plan. The Niwiska well in the Permian Basin has been de- ferred while the oil price is low, as it could no longer be justiﬁ ed on a risk-reward basis. Romania In the Romanian Carpathians we have over 350,000 gross acres (c1400 Km2). In addition to the Voitinel gas discovery well, the Company has several other shallow and deep targets in a region with existing gas production. 33pg. 33pg.

A horizontal multi-fracced well is planned and has been engineered. The Company is conﬁ dent that this horizontal well, following the most successful single frac in a vertical well in Europe, has a good chance of proving the commerciality of this huge resource as the existing positive frac results are scaled up to the individual well conﬁ guration which would be used for a development. San Leon has 220,000 net acres in the Gdansk W concession alone, and around 1.2 million net acres across the Baltic Basin. We are currently looking for a partner to continue appraisal on this promising asset. BRANIEWO S CONCESSION Both shales (Silurian and Ordovician) and tight Cam- brian sandstone are oil targets in this concession. Further well activity, such as a multi-fractured hori- zontal well in the tight sandstone, has been put on hold until the oil price improves the economics. Oil is already produced commercially from the sandstone in the region. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Chairman's Review continued Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements LONG-TERM PROJECTS EXPLORATION ASSETS APPRAISAL & READY TO DEVELOP NEAR-TERM INCOME NEAR-TERM INCOME On Rawicz, Palomar agreed to drill and test two wells at no up-front cost to San Leon, with the Company only paying back its 35% share of drilling costs through production. The ﬁ rst of those wells, Rawicz-12, was drilled in late 2014 and tested in early 2015 after the end of the reporting period. It was a great success, with stable ﬂ ow reaching 4.5 mmscf/d, and allowed a number of wells drilled on the structure in the 1970s to be re-evaluated. In May 2015 a Competent Persons Report (CPR) was com- pleted for Palomar by Ryder Scott Company, yielding just over 50 Bcf of Probable reserves for the full ﬁ eld. When an off take agreement is signed, Palomar and San Leon expect some reserves to be moved to Proved. Production is targeted for Q1 2016. On Siekierki, Palomar has undertaken to carry San Leon for the workover of three existing wells, with the aim of tying in gas production to the nearby distribution network. pg.36 Ireland Net Proﬁ t Interest San Leon’s 4.5% Net Proﬁ t Interest (NPI) on the Barryroe oil ﬁ eld provides access to future revenue streams with no additional capital required. A num- ber of approaches have been received to execute a transaction on the NPI and provide monetisation, but the Company believes maximum shareholder value will be realised by retaining it and its cash ﬂ ows. Internal economic modelling, based upon the Barryroe 2013 CPR summary and reasonable pricing assumptions, indicates cash ﬂ ow of more than $700 million net to San Leon through ﬁ eld life. Poland Mature assets in the Carboniferous and Permian Basin In July 2014, Palomar Natural Resources farmed into our assets in Poland’s Carboniferous and Permian Basins. The Rawicz and Siekierki ﬁ elds were identi- ﬁ ed for early production and cash ﬂ ow. Palomar paid a total of $20 million up-front for a 65% equity stake and will execute work programmes as Operator. 50 BCF will be the largest gas development in Poland for 20 YEARS 37pg. 37pg.

Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2014 The Directors present their Annual Report together with the audited financial statements of San Leon Energy Plc (“the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group") for the year ended 31 December 2014. 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 €38,264,356 (2013: loss of €17,051,578). Net assets of the Group at 31 December 2014 amounted to €250,788,145 (2013: €284,446,686). 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, Albania, Romania and Spain. 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 33. 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. pg.40 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 Group’s 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.

Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of San Leon Energy plc Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements We have audited the Group and Company financial statements (“financial statements”) of San Leon Energy plc for the year ended 31 December 2014 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated and Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Company Statement 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 (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and as regards the Company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2014. Opinions and conclusions arising from our audit In our opinion: • 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 2014 and of its loss for the year then ended; • the Company statement of financial position gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2014; • the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union; • the Company statement of financial position has been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2014; and • the Group financial statements and Company statement of financial position have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014. Our conclusions on other matters on which we are required to report by the Companies Act 2014 are set out below We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our opinion the accounting records of the Company were sufficient to permit the financial statements to be readily and properly audited and the financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records. In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial statements. We have nothing to report in respect of matters on which we are required to report by exception ISAs (UK & Ireland) require that we report to you if, based on the knowledge we acquired during our audit, we have identified information in the annual report that contains a material inconsistency with either that knowledge or the financial statements, a material misstatement of fact, or that is otherwise misleading. In addition, the Companies Act 2014 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions required by sections 305 to 312 of the Act are not made. Basis of our report, responsibilities and restrictions on use As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities set out on page 45, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014. 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. pg.46 Our report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an 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 and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Cliona Mullen for and on behalf of Chartered Accountants, Statutory Audit Firm 1 Stokes Place St Stephen’s Green Dublin 2 29 June 2015 47pg. An audit undertaken in accordance with ISAs (UK & Ireland) 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’s 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 and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Whilst an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK & Ireland) is designed to provide reasonable assurance of identifying material misstatements or omissions it is not guaranteed to do so. Rather the auditor plans the audit to determine the extent of testing needed to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements does not exceed materiality for the financial statements as a whole. This testing requires us to conduct significant audit work on a broad range of assets, liabilities, income and expense as well as devoting significant time of the most experienced members of the audit team, in particular the engagement partner responsible for the audit, to subjective areas of the accounting and reporting.

Statement of Accounting Policies San Leon Energy Plc (“the Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Ireland. 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 statements. 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 Act 2014, which permits a Company, that publishes its Company and Group financial statements together, to take advantage of the exemption in Section 304 of the Companies Act 2014, from presenting to its members its Company income statement and related notes that form part of the approved Company financial statements. The IFRS adopted by the EU as applied by the Group and the Company in the preparation of these financial statements are those that were effective for accounting periods commencing on or before 1 January 2014 or 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 2014. pg.58 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements New or amended standard IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements Effective date 1 January 2014 IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements 1 January 2014 IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 1 January 2014 Impact on consolidated financial statements The Directors have reassessed the Company’s investments in all entities and determined that there are no differences under IFRS 10’s control-based model for consolidation. The Directors have assessed the Group’s involvement in joint arrangements under IFRS 11 and determined their classification to be joint ventures. There is no difference in the accounting treatment applied to that of the previous standard. The Group has provided further disclosure relating to its interests in entities where applicable. 59pg. Summary of requirements Under the new control-based model for consolidation established by IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when (i) it has exposure to variable returns from that investee (ii) it has the power over relevant activities of the investee that affect those returns and (iii) there is a link between that power and those variable returns. 1 January 2014 IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures and focuses on the nature of the rights and obligations of the arrangement. The predecessor standard, IAS 31, focused to a greater extent on the legal form to determine the presence of ‘jointly controlled entities’ (JCEs) which would then have been equity accounted for or proportionately consolidated. IFRS 12 sets out more comprehensive disclosures relating to the nature, risks and financial effects of interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. The following new standards and amendments were adopted by the Group for the first time in the current financial reporting period with no resulting impact on the consolidated financial statements: New or amended standard Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IAS 32) Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27) Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments to IAS 39) IFRIC 21 Levies Separate financial statements (IAS 27) Investments in associate and joint ventures (IAS 28) Effective date 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 1 January 2014 Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2014 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements New standards and interpretations effective that have not been early adopted 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 accounting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2014. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early; instead it will apply them from their effective dates as determined by their dates of EU endorsement. The Group is still reviewing the upcoming standards to determine their impact.

Going concern The Directors have prepared a detailed cash flow forecast for the Group and Company for the period to 31 December 2016. 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: • The proposed conditional placing (the “Placing”) and share capital reorganisation will complete; • Certain subsidiaries of the Group will be successful in their legal challenge to the ruling of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in relation to Avobone N.V. and Avobone Poland B.V. • The proposed farm-outs will complete as planned with timely receipt of associated consideration; • Production revenues and exploration and administrative expenditure will be in line with current expectations and commitments; The signed 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£21 million accessible over a 30 month period from 21 May 2015 (“the facility”). This Term Sheet modifies the existing Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with YA Global, which remains in effect. In the event, that the Placing is not approved at the Company’s AGM on 15 July 2015, the Group has an additional loan facility of £30m available from Brandon Hill Capital which can be drawn down in two instalments over the next 6 months. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placing as follows: • To provide any capital requirements to target cash flow from the Rawicz and Siekierki fields. Given that the next well on Rawicz will be at no up-front cost to the Company, and activity on the first three Siekierki wells is fully carried, such net capital requirement is likely to be £2 million to £4 million, with cash flow from production expected to begin in 2016. The intention is to secure project finance to cover most, or all, of these costs, so funds will be a back-up to such financing. • To drill some of the most promising prospects that the Company has generated over the past five years, including an onshore Tertiary play on the Tarfaya licence in Morocco (approximately £3 million), and a well on the Durresi block in Albania (where the offshore carbonate target will be accessed by directional drilling from an onshore location, approximately £5 million). Both wells are expected to be drilled in 2015. • To provide general working capital, including licence maintenance and technical evaluations. • To apply the balance of net Placing proceeds of up to £15 million to funding the Company’s share of farmed- out projects should there be any such costs, as well as to target any low-risk acquisition opportunities in the current market climate. Taking into account the net proceeds of the Placing, and conditional upon the Placing completing, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company has sufficient working capital for the foreseeable future, that is for at least 12 months from the date of admission of the new shares on AIM. 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 2016 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 indicates that provided that all assumptions materialise 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 2014. 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 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: • Recoverability of intangible assets (note 11) • Recoverability of equity accounted investments (note 12) • Measurement of financial assets (note 17) • Measurement of share-based payments (note 28) • Recognition of tax losses (note 31) • Contingent liability (Avobone) (note 30) 61pg. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2014 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements 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 defined as when the Group is to or has rights to variable returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. 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: • the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus • 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 • 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. pg.62 Oil and gas properties are depleted on a unit of production basis over the estimated proven and probable reserves of the field. 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. 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 arrangements The Group participates in a number of joint arrangements where the control of the arrangement is shared with one or more other parties. A joint arrangement is classified as a joint operation or as a joint venture in accordance with IFRS 11. Management have made an assessment of the legal form and substance of the arrangement existing at year end to ensure they are presented correctly. The classification of arrangement has a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s share of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows of joint operations are included in the consolidated financial statements on a line by line basis, whereas the Group’s investment and share of results of joint ventures are equity accounted for and shown within a single line within the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated income statement respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Financial assets – investment in subsidiaries Financial 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 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. 63pg. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2014 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements 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. 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 33. 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. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the awards vest. 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 28. 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. Any grant date fair value of options granted under the company’s share option scheme that were recognised as an expense over the vesting period and are subsequently cancelled and reversed as an expense 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. pg.64 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 remeasured 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. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement 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 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: • represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; • is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale. 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 movement 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 17 Financial Assets and Note 23 Derivative. 65pg. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value 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, 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.

Other income Group Gain on Talisman acquisition 2014 € – 2013 € 4,229,277 Talisman Gain (Note 29) 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. 67pg.

Loss on disposal of subsidiaries In September 2013 the Company signed a Binding Heads of Agreement in respect of the sale of Island Oil & Gas Limited, a subsidiary of the company to Ardilaun Energy Limited (“Ardilaun”). Under the terms of the sale, 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 sale. Ardilaun has also agreed to issue to San Leon Energy, shares equivalent to 15 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital of Ardilaun post-completion of the sale and prior to its intended listing on an international exchange. Prior to their reclassification as assets held for sale in 2013 the exploration and evaluation assets were impaired by €3.6 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 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of Ardilaun was based on a recent market transaction. During the year, the sale to Ardilaun completed and the Group recognised a loss on disposal of €6,429,007. The loss primarily related to the Group’s contribution to the decommissioning liability associated with the exploration and evaluation assets disposed of.

The Directors have considered the carrying value at 31 December 2014 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 €9.1 million and are satisfied that there are no further impairment indicators and that future exploration and evaluation activities are appropriate in light of the carrying value of these assets. 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. pg.74 12.

The LLPs are the 100% title holders of the following Polish exploration concession areas: Wielun (219,430 acres) and Olesnica (286,642 acres) concessions in the Carboniferous Basin, and the South Prabuty concession (118,611 acres) in the Baltic Basin. The purchase consideration of €11.88 million (USD15 million) was payable by the issue of new Ordinary shares in San Leon. Hutton Poland Limited own the remaining 25% of the three LLPs. As part of the acquisition of Realm Energy in 2011, San Leon acquired a 50% equity interest in each of Joyce Investments Sp. z o.o. and Maryani Investments Sp. z o.o., who in turn are the titleholders in the Ilawa and Wegrow exploration concessions in Poland. Kaynes Capital S.a.r.l. own the remaining 50% of both entities. As of February 28, 2015, the Company along with its joint venture partner Kaynes informed the Ministry of Geology that the Ilawa concession was being relinquished. As at 31 December 2014, the Company’s investment in the Joyce Investments Sp. z o.o. joint venture was fully impaired. The Wegrow concession that was previously held by Maryani expired in June 2014, which resulted in a full impairment of the Company’s investment in Maryani during the year ended 31 December 2014. (ii) In January 2013, San Leon acquired a 90% interest in Energia Zachod Sp. Z o.o. and a 45% interest in each of Energia Torzym Sp. Z o.o Spk. and Energia Cybinka Sp. Z o.o.

Z o.o Spk. and Energia Cybinka Sp. Z o.o. Spk. with Sceptre Oil and Gas Limited owning the remaining 25% of both entities. (iii) On 1 July 2014 the company announced that it had signed a joint venture agreement with Palomar Natural Resources (“PNR”) across seven Concessions in Poland’s Permian Basin initially focused on developing the discovered, unproduced Siekierki and Rawicz gas fields. In return for a 65% working interest in the Southern Permian Basin and Northern Permian Basin Concessions, PNR has paid upfront to San Leon €3,615,068 ($5 million) and €11,032,657 ($15 million), respectively, in cash and will carry San Leon for a defined initial work programme aimed at bringing the Rawicz and Siekierki fields into production as soon as possible. PNR became the operator of all of the Concessions. 75pg. The PNR transaction was accounted for as a farm-out transaction. Prior to the joint venture agreement the company undertook a reorganisation of the assets that formed the deal. Two new companies were set-up, TSH Energy Joint Venture B.V. (“TSH”) and Poznan Energy B.V. (“Poznan”), and the assets were transferred to the two new entities as follows: The Rawicz (39/2009/p), Wschowa (8/2009/p), Gora (30/2008/p) and Nowa Sol (5/2009/p) concessions (“Southern Permian Basin”) were transferred to TSH; and the Poznan North (26/2008/p), Poznan East (4/2003/p), Poznan East (5/2003/p) concessions (“Northern Permian Basin”) were transferred to Poznan.

Financial assets The key information relevant to the fair value of the Barryroe 4.5% net profit interest is as follows: Valuation technique unobservable inputs and fair value Third party report prepared by NSAI in July 2013 as released by Providence Resources Plc and internal management assumptions based on a net present value of future cash flows model Significant unobservable inputs • Oil production of 261MM BBL over the life of the field on a successful development of the 2C contingent resources case • Life of field expected to be 24 years • Oil price over the period is US$80/bbl • Discount rate of 25% Inter-relationships between the measurement The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if: • The capital expenditure required to develop the field (decreased)/increased • The oil price per barrel increased/(decreased) • The resource estimates increased/(decreased) or the life of the field increased/ (decreased) • US Dollar exchange rate increased/(decreased • The discount rate used increased/ (decreased) (ii) Amedeo Resources plc In 2013 the Company purchased 71,225,000 ordinary shares in Amedeo Resources plc, a company listed on the AIM Market in London, for a total consideration of €1,329,349.

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 by reference to a third party evaluation report of contingent resources and cash flows prepared by Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI) in July 2013 for Providence. NSAI reported that the Basal Wealden oil reservoir has an estimated 2C in-place gross on-block volume of 761 MMBO with recoverable resources of 261 MMBO and 187 BCF of associated gas, based on a 35% oil recovery factor. In July 2013, NSAI also 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 website. Further information has also been made available by Providence and other sources regarding a revised development plan or development costs which are key inputs into the valuation model. As San Leon is 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 NSAI report, when coupled with other information released by Providence and adapted for certain changes in the market, gives the basis for the best estimate of fair value at year end. The fair value movement relates to currency adjustments.

During 2014, the Company issued 536,508 €0.05 Ordinary shares at £0.0487 in respect of the exercise of options. Certain Realm Energy International Corporation shareholders exercised rights of dissent under Canadian law not to accept the terms of acquisition in 2011. Under Canadian law, these dissenting shareholders are eligible to receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of their shareholding at acquisition. The provision represents the Directors’ estimate of the cash consideration to be paid to those Shareholders taking account of the market price of the Realm shares at acquisition. pg.86 27. 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: 87pg. 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 17). Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2014 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements 28. 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. 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 €1,211,407 (2013: €3,821,953). The movement on outstanding share options and warrants during the year was as follows: 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 2014 and 2013: 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% Black- Scholes Model Binomial/Monte Carlo 2014 £0.003 £0.040 0% 65% 1.1%–1.7% 7–10 years 10% 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. 29. Acquisitions There were no acquisitions in 2014. 2014 2013 Details of 2013 acquisitions are detailed below: pg.88 Balance at beginning of the financial year Granted during the year Cancelled 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 Number of options/ warrants 193,021,006 500,000 – (536,508) (2,510,611) 190,473,887 113,797,230 Weighted average exercise price Number of options/ warrants £0.153 184,389,731 £0.067 59,633,119 £0.051 (32,355,229) £0.049 – £0.217 (18,646,615) £0.127 193,021,006 £0.124 114,243,096 Weighted average exercise price £0.153 £0.067 £0.051 – £0.217 £0.153 £0.138 The range of exercise prices of outstanding options / warrants at year end is £0.04-£0.62 (2013: £0.04 - £0.62). The weighted average remaining contractual life for options / warrants outstanding at 31 December 2014 is 2.96 years (2013: 3.95 years). The weighted average share price when options / warrants were exercised during the year ended 31 December 2013 was £0.094. (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. 89pg. 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. Under the terms of the acquisition, each Aurelian shareholder was entitled to receive 1.3 San Leon shares for each Aurelian share they held.

(ii) Under the terms of the acquisition, San Leon agreed to grant Aurelian option-holders and Aurelian staff with pending awards replacement share options over San Leon shares, on terms no less favourable than under the historical Aurelian unapproved share option plan. 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 28. 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. pg.90 Net cash flow arising on acquisition € 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 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 considered the appropriate accounting treatment to be applied to the above transaction in 2013 and formed the view that the acquisition of Talisman Polska did 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 was recognised in respect of the Exploration and Evaluation assets or inventory received on the transaction. This was 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. 30. Commitments and contingencies (a) Operating leases Commitments under operating leases are as follows: Payable: Within one year Between one and five years Over five years 91pg. Property € 1,023,988 3,639,960 1,314,758 5,978,706 Motor vehicles € 25,316 22,705 – 48,021 Total € 1,049,304 3,662,665 1,314,758 6,026,727 (b) Exploration, evaluation and development activities The Group has commitments of approximately €11m (2013: €14m) in the year ended 31 December 2015 to contribute to its share of exploration and evaluation expenditure in respect of exploration licences and concessions held. Annual Report and Accounts 2014 San Leon Energy plc Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 31 December 2014 Overview | Strategic Report | Governance | Financial Statements 30. Commitments and contingencies continued (c) Avobone arbitration As announced on 11 April 2013, certain subsidiaries of the Company (Aurelian Oil & Gas Limited, Aurelian Oil & Gas Sp.z o.o, Energia Zachód Holdings Sp. z o.o. and AOG Finance Limited, together referred to as the “Company”) 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”) by Avobone N.V. and Avobone Poland B.V. (together, “Avobone”) in relation to the purchase by Aurelian Oil & Gas Limited (“Aurelian”), San Leon’s subsidiary, of Avobone’s 10% shares and loans in Energia Zachód Sp. z o.o. – the titleholder of the Siekierki asset. At the time the Company reviewed the Request with counsel and believed the claims to be substantially without merit. The Company contested these claims robustly at the hearing of the Court of Arbitration and believed it had a material advantage in the case. The findings of the Court of Arbitration were received by the Company on 23 May 2015, and provide for a total payment by Aurelian of approximately £13 million including costs. Two-thirds of the main award relates to the repayment of a loan provided by Avobone to Aurelian. In Aurelian’s view, this loan was a standard industry-practice mechanism that was used to fund Avobone’s share of the drilling and other field-related costs in a tax-efficient manner, and should only have been repayable had Avobone exited after the field had generated sufficient cashflow to repay the loan. At the time of Avobone’s exit in early 2013, the field had yet to generate cashflow. Following consultation with counsel, the Company remains convinced that Avobone’s case is substantially without merit, and that the findings of the Court of Arbitration constitute a “serious procedural irregularity”, as set forth by the UK Arbitration Act 1996 for challenging an arbitral award, and therefore provides grounds for appeal. The Company has commenced the appeal process and has made an application for the correction and interpretation of the findings of the Court of Arbitration. pg.92 (d) Security for loans Palomar Holdings Limited have a charge over the assets of the Company’s subsidiary Novaseis Sp.z o.o as security for the debt outlined in note 24. This charge has been released on repayment of the loan post year end. 31. Deferred tax Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax assets and liabilities are attributable to the following: Exploration and evaluation assets Financial assets – Net Profit Interest Tax losses recognised Assets 2014 € – 2013 € Liabilities 2014 € 2013 € Net 2014 € 2013 € – (9,329,447) (9,329,447) (9,329,447) (9,329,447) – 10,437,059 10,437,059 – (13,306,607) – 11,222,410 11,222,410 (22,636,054) (11,222,410) (13,306,607) – 10,437,059 (12,198,995) (20,551,857) (11,222,410) 11,222,410 (9,329,447) Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the above items because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Group can utilise these losses. The losses have no expiry date with the exception of approximately €1,729,920 (2013: €1,295,000) of tax losses in Canada which expire from years 2028 to 2033. 32. Related party transactions Mr. Oisín Fanning San Leon holds an option to acquire a property at market value from Mr. Fanning. The option has a remaining life of twelve years and the option fee of £300,000 is refundable when the Company either exercises or terminates the option. Mr. Fanning was paid £96,000 rent for the use of this property by the company. The property is available for use by all staff and consultants requiring overnight accommodation while conducting business on behalf of the company. At 1 January 2014, Mr Fanning owed San Leon €1,258,549 in respect of a short term loan advanced to him by San Leon Energy plc. During the year the maximum amount outstanding on the loan was €1,560,445.

Financial instruments and financial risk management Company Transactions with subsidiaries Transactions between San Leon Energy Plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation. At 31 December 2014, the Company is owed €99,573,074 (2013: €90,948,220) by its subsidiaries in respect of funds advanced to and expenses discharged by the Company on their behalf. The Company owes €28,042,351 (2013: €27,198,684) to subsidiaries in funds received and services provided by Group companies. 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: • 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 • Available for sale: financial assets - net profit interest and quoted investments as described in Note 16 • 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. pg.94 (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 2014 and 2013, the Group did not utilise either forward currency contracts or other derivatives to manage foreign currency risk. At 31 December 2014, the Group’s principal exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows: Trade and other receivables (note 19) Trade and other payables (note 22) Provisions (note 25) Loans and borrowings (payable within one year) (note 24) Cash and cash equivalents (note 21) Other financial assets (note 20) Total 2014 Total 2013 Denominated in GBP£ € 51,338 (1,279,134) – Denominated in US$ € 1,647,311 (446,312) – Denominated in PLN € 1,132,733 (3,868,489) – Denominated in CAD € 4,845 (318,094) (1,457,497) Denominated in LEI € 7,353 (97,989) – – 3,071 – (1,224,725) 6,203,827 (5,814,022) 919,010 1,153,118 (2,540,895) 3,978,773 – 219,141 182,243 (2,334,372) (10,782,107) – 5,559 – (1,765,187) (1,473,504) – 129,724 39,088 3,266,231 At 31 December 2014, the Company’s principal exposure to foreign currency risk was as follows: Trade and other receivables (note 19) Trade and other payables (note 22) Loans and borrowings (payable within one year) (note 24) Cash and cash equivalents (note 21) Financial assets Total 2014 Total 2013 Denominated in GBP£ € 1,347,520 (25,786,381) – 403 – (24,438,458) (16,052,677) Denominated in US$ € – (3,668,510) (5,814,022) 913,606 – (8,568,926) 2,025,556 Denominated in PLN € 10,222,451 (313,895) – 57 182,243 10,090,856 42,011,074 Denominated in CAD € 918,174 (292,732) – 184 – 625,626 (3,615,368) The euro exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements were as follows: Sterling US Dollars Polish Zloty Canadian Dollars Romanian Lei 2014 Average rate 0.8061 1.3285 4.1843 1.4661 4.4437 2014 Closing rate 0.7789 1.2141 4.2732 1.4063 4.4828 2013 Average rate 0.8493 1.3281 4.1975 1.3684 4.4195 2013 Closing rate 0.8337 1.3791 4.1543 1.4671 4.4710 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. 95pg. (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.

(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. pg.96 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.

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. (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 2014 and 31 December 2013. 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 dis-apply 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 2015 or the date of the annual general meeting of the Company in 2015. 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 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.

Proposed Conditional Placing and Share Capital Reorganisation On 1 June 2015 the Company announced a major fundraising pursuant to a proposed conditional placing (the “Placing”) of New Ordinary Shares in the Company. The Placing is subject to, inter alia: • shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to be held on 15 July 2015; • the Company undergoing a Share Capital Reorganisation consisting of subdivision and consolidation of the issued Existing Ordinary Shares resulting in New Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of €0.01 each to be approved at the EGM; and • the granting of a Rule 9 Waiver by the Irish Takeover Panel in relation to Tosca’s subscription as described below. Pursuant to the Placing, the Company has conditionally agreed to raise £29 million from existing and new shareholders by conditionally agreeing to place 36,250,000 New Ordinary Shares at a price of 80 pence per share (equivalent to 0.8p per Existing Ordinary Share before the Share Capital Reorganisation described below). The Placing will therefore effect an increase in the issued share capital (adjusted for the Share Capital Reorganisation) of approximately 143%. Toscafund Asset Management LLP (“Tosca”) has entered into a conditional placing commitment for the amount of £16 million as part of the Placing. In addition to its current shareholding of approximately 22% in the Company, this investment would take Tosca’s total shareholding after the Placing to approximately 41.5%. An application for a Rule 9 Waiver in relation to Tosca’s proposed shareholding was made to the Irish Takeover Panel and the waiver was confirmed on 9 June 2015, subject to approval at the EGM. Operational updates The Company has announced a number of operational updates which are explained in the Chairman’s Review. 99pg.
