The Directors of Global Petroleum Limited present their report together with the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group comprising of Global Petroleum Limited (the "Company" or "Global" or "Parent") and the entities it controlled for the half year ended 31 December 2017 ("Consolidated Entity" or "Group").

Dear Shareholders

We are pleased to present to you the Global Interim Financial Report for the half year ended 31 December 2017.

A number of objectives were achieved during the reporting period with a particular focus on the Company's Namibian Licence which covers Blocks 1910B & 2010A, in the offshore Walvis Basin.

An agreement was reached with the Namibian Ministry of Mines & Energy ("MME") whereby an extension was granted for the First Renewal Exploration Period (Phase 2) of the Company's exploration licence ("the Licence"). The extension was for a period of 12 months to December 2018. At the same time, the MME also agreed entry by Global and its partners into the Second Renewal Period (Phase 3), effective from December 2018 for a period of 2 years.

2D seismic data was acquired over the Company's Namibian acreage during June and July 2017. Processing and interpretation of the data was finalised and a Competent Persons Report ("CPR") was commissioned from AGR TRACS, which was completed post the reporting period end. The CPR confirmed a high level of prospectivity in the Blocks held by the Company including the calculation of Prospective Resources. Further details of the CPR and the calculated Prospective Resources are detailed in the Company's announcement of 15 January 2018.

Subsequent to the publication of the CPR, the Company announced it would be conducting a structured farm-out process in which it would be advised by Stellar Energy Advisors.

In Italy, the Company announced in October 2017 the publication by the Italian authorities of the remaining two Environmental Decrees relating to its four offshore applications in the Southern Adriatic. The applications in question are designated d 80 F.R-GP and d 81 F.R-GP and since the publication of the Decrees a number of appeals by various interested parties have been notified to the Company. These appeals will be defended by the Company in a similar fashion to those relating to the previous two Decrees, which were originally published in October 2016.

Financial

During the half year ended 31 December 2017, the Group recorded a loss after tax of US$975,145 (31 December 2016: loss US$957,681). Cash balances at 31 December 2017 amounted to US$6,080,861 (30 June 2017: US$7,807,605). The Group has no debt.

Outlook

The Company remains committed to pursuing its Italian applications through to award, along with the Namibian project where the farm-out process has recently commenced with a view to seeking a partner to fund future operations on the Block, commencing with a 3D seismic survey. We look forward to updating shareholders on progress with these endeavours in due course.

1.         OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Namibian Project

The Namibian Project consists of an 85% participating interest in Petroleum Exploration Licence Number 29 covering Offshore Blocks 1910B and 2010A in the Republic of Namibia. The Licence, issued on 3 December 2010, originally covered 11,730 square kilometres and is located offshore Namibia in water depths ranging from 1,300 metres to 3,000 metres (Refer Figure 1). The Initial Exploration Period of the Licence expired in December 2014, and Global fulfilled its corresponding work obligations approximately halfway through the initial four year term. The Company agreed with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy to a 12 month extension of the Initial Exploration Period to December 2015, on the basis of an agreed work programme which entailed further interpretation work on existing seismic data.

In December 2015, the Company entered into the First Renewal Exploration Period (Phase 2) of the Licence, making a mandatory relinquishment of 50% of the Licence Area. Phase 2 was for a duration of 24 months with a reduced Minimum Work Programme which no longer contained a well commitment. Instead, the Company undertook to reprocess and re-interpret previously acquired 2D seismic data and to shoot 800 kilometres of new 2D. To this end, the Company's technical team has evaluated reprocessed 2D seismic data from the 1990s and took delivery of reprocessed speculative 2D seismic data shot over its Blocks in 2011/12 by the seismic company, TGS.

Following the reprocessing and evaluation of the historic 2D data, the Company entered into a contract with Seabird Exploration of Norway in order to acquire 834 km of new full fold seismic data over its Blocks. This data was shot during June and July 2017 with processing and interpretation of the new 2D seismic completed during the reporting period.

The new information significantly improved the prospectivity across the Licence area in general and in particular the Gemsbok prospect. Better imaging from the recently acquired 2D data revealed that known source rock intervals are likely to be within the oil generative window and this, combined with data showing repeating oil seeps along the faulted flanks of Gemsbok, greatly improves the chance of a major oil discovery.

As a result, the Company commissioned a CPR in respect of its acreage from consultants AGR TRACS, which was completed post the reporting period. Prospective resources have been calculated on three prospects: the Company's primary structure Gemsbok, as well as Dik Dik and Lion. Further details of the CPR, can be found within the Company's announcement of 15 January 2018 and the full report is located on the Company's website.

The Company successfully negotiated and agreed with the MME an extension of the First Renewal Exploration Period (Phase 2) of the Company's Licence for a period of 12 months to 3 December 2018. In addition, the MME agreed entry into the Second Renewal Period (Phase 3) effective from 3 December 2018 for 2 years.

The minimum work commitment for the one year extension of Phase 2 is the acquisition of 600 square kilometres of 3D seismic which is contingent on the Company concluding a farm-out agreement with a third party to fund the acquisition of the 3D data. The 3D acquisition can be carried over into Phase 3 in the event that it is not competed within the Phase 2 extension period. During Phase 3, the commitment is to drill a well (depth and location to be agreed) unless the MME and the Company agree that circumstances dictate otherwise.

The Company appointed Stellar Energy Advisors subsequent to the reporting period to advise on a structured farm-out process of the Company's Namibian acreage with a view to seeking a partner to fund future operations, commencing with the 3D seismic data acquisition.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Jupiter Petroleum (Namibia) Limited, remains operator with an 85% interest in the two Blocks, with partners NAMCOR and Bronze Investments Pty Ltd (Bronze) holding 10% and 5% respectively, both as carried interests.

1.             OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Permit Applications in the Southern Adriatic, Offshore Italy

In August 2013, the Company submitted an application and proposed work programme and budget to the Italian Ministry of Economic Development for four exploration areas offshore Italy (the "Permit Applications" - Figure 2).

As previously reported, various local authorities and interest groups appealed against the Environmental Decrees in relation to d 82 F.R-GP and d 83 F.R-GP. Publication of Environmental Decrees is the final administrative stage before grant of the Permits.  The above-mentioned Decrees were published in October 2016 and the appeals against them are expected to be heard by the Latium Administrative Tribunal (Rome) in Q4 2018.

The Company announced during the reporting period (in October 2017) that the remaining two Environmental Decrees in relation to the Permit Applications, designated d 80 F.R-GP and 81 F.R-GP, had been published by the Italian authorities.

As with the previous two Environmental Decrees, a number of appeals by various interested parties against the new Decrees have been notified to the Company. Global understands that recent appeals against other Environmental Decrees in the Southern Adriatic have been rejected by the same tribunal.

The Southern Adriatic and adjacent areas continue to be the focus of industry activity. Most notably, in Montenegro, offshore concessions were awarded in 2016/2017 to Marathon, OMV and Eni/Novatek (the latter just 35 km from the nearest of the Permit Applications). The four Permit Application Blocks are contiguous with the Italian median lines abutting Croatia, Montenegro and Albania respectively.

1.      OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Outlook

The Company remains committed to pursuing its Italian applications through to award, along with the Namibian project where the farm-out process has recently commenced with a view to seeking a partner to fund future operations on the Block, commencing with a 3D seismic survey.

8.      CAPITAL AND JOINT VENTURE COMMITMENTS

8.1     Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by various foreign governments where exploration tenements are held. These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a tenement is made and at other times. These obligations are not provided for in the financial statements.  Financial commitments for subsequent periods can only be determined at future dates, as the success or otherwise of exploration programmes determines courses of action allowed under options available in tenements.

8.       CAPITAL AND JOINT VENTURE COMMITMENTS (Cont.)

8.2     Joint venture commitments

On 26 August 2011, the Group acquired Jupiter Petroleum Limited ("Jupiter") which holds prospective oil and gas exploration interests in offshore Namibia. In order to maintain current rights of tenure to the exploration Licences, Global is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified in the Namibian Petroleum Exploration Agreement.   The obligations include:

(a)   Initial Exploration Period (First four years of Licence commencing on 3 December 2010. On 22 August 2014 the Namibian Government extended only this Initial Exploration Period by 12 months to 3 December 2015):

The minimum exploration expenditure commitment for the Initial Exploration Period: was US$1 million. Over US$3 million was spent by Jupiter during this period.

(b)   First Renewal Exploration Period (Three years from 3 December 2015 to 3 December 2018):

The Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MME") agreed a 2 year renewal period to run until 3 December 2017.  They also agreed a 50% relinquishment of the Licence area.  Minimum exploration expenditure for the 2 year renewal period:

·          The reprocessing of existing 2D seismic lines across that portion of the Licence Area which is retained following the mandatory 50% relinquishment.  This was completed during the second and third quarter of 2016.

·          Acquisition of 800km of long offset 2D over the retained acreage. The reprocessed existing 2D data will be         used to assist with the design and location of the new survey. 

The acquisition and processing were completed by the end of 2017. 

In November 2017, the MME agreed an extension to the First Renewal Exploration Period of 12 months to 3 December 2018. In addition, the MME has agreed entry into the Second Renewal Period effective from 3 December 2018 for a period of two years.

The minimum work program for the one year extension is the acquisition of 600 square kilometres of 3D seismic data, contingent upon Global concluding a farm-out agreement with a third party to fund the acquisition of the 3D data. If the 3D acquisition is not completed during the 12 month extension period, it may be carried over into the Second Renewal Period.

(c)   Second Renewal Period (Two years from 3 December 2018):

During the Second Renewal Period the commitment is to drill one well (depth and location to be agreed) unless the Ministry and Global agree that circumstances dictate otherwise.

Jupiter has an 85% interest in the Petroleum Exploration Licence, however, it is responsible for 100% of the expenditure requirements with its joint venture partners holding a total of 15% free carried interest.

9.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The financial assets and liabilities consist of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables. The financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised cost, the carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.
