Notes

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc has a diversified portfolio of multi-stage
hydrocarbon assets that includes production, exploration and development
interests, in countries that are politically stable, have transparent licensing
processes, and offer attractive terms. The Company produced 182 boepd in the UK
during the 2012/2013 financial year, generating sufficient revenues to cover
corporate overheads. Its highly prospective exploration projects include the
Wressle prospect in the UK where a well is due to be drilled later in the near
term; 100% owned gas exploration prospect (416 bcf) and appraisal project (CPR
277 bcf) in onshore France; and a joint venture with leading independent Kosmos
to explore two licences in offshore Ireland in which Europa has identified two
prospects with estimated gross mean un-risked indicative resources of 482
million barrels oil and 1.6 billion barrels oil respectively.
