Chairman's Report

 

When I wrote my update to accompany the 2016 Annual Report, Nostra Terra was still in the early stages of embedding its new strategy. The price of oil was consolidating and signs of recovery across the industry were in sight.

 

Twelve months later and the sector has rebounded strongly. Thanks to our efforts in 2016, Nostra Terra was well positioned to benefit greatly from this. The Company has since taken significant steps forward in realising its ambitions, delivering robust returns for shareholders.

 

Our strategic focus switched in 2016 to repositioning our portfolio of assets with the goal of growing stable oil production and reserves, which would be profitable at $30/bbl. In particular we sought to acquire leases, which were Held By Production (HBP). This ideally suited Nostra Terra because it meant we could control the pace of development of these assets, as conditions and our finances allowed.

 

In early 2017 we completed our second acquisition in the Permian Basin, Texas, and by April had increased the Company's current proven reserves (1P) in the US to 522,000 barrels. As stated a year ago, these reported reserves were bankable and laid the foundation to enabling Nostra Terra to gain access to the working capital required to grow long term oil production.

 

To that end, Nostra Terra raised £500,000 in a placing in late April 2017 and in September secured a hedging facility for future oil production with BP Energy Company. This was a significant leap forward for Nostra Terra and provided a ringing endorsement of the success of our new strategy. Perhaps more importantly it better positioned the Company to access non-dilutive working capital to fund future growth.

 

By the end of 2017 we were able to report we were in advanced discussions with a number of lenders. Eight days after the period ended, we finalised terms of a $5 million Senior Lending Facility with Washington Federal Bank, at an initial interest rate of 4.75% with an initial borrowing base of $1.2 million.

 

Operationally, the introduction of new funds has meant a great deal to the business and has already yielded tangible results. In October we completed our third acquisition in the Permian Basin and by the middle of November started drilling the first new well on this lease, the Twin Well.

 

We were subsequently able to put the Twin Well into production, a significant contributor to Nostra Terra becoming cash flow positive at the plc level, another major milestone for the Company.

 

In other areas, we have continued to work hard.

 

With respect to our investment in Magnolia Petroleum, we identified an opportunity where we believed our involvement would add significant value both to that company and to Nostra Terra. In response to the requisition for a General Meeting to seek change to Magnolia's board, Magnolia's existing directors chose to complete a highly dilutive deal, which we believe added precious little in terms of value to that company and was unfortunate for Magnolia's shareholders. We exited our position at a profit.

 

In Egypt we increased our stake in the East Ghazalat concession to 50%, having acquired Echo Energy's (AIM:ECHO) 25% stake for a $500,000 consideration payable only upon certain approvals and production hurdles. For minimal outlay we will increase Nostra Terra's assets to just over 1 million barrels of 2P Reserves.

 

We have continued to engage positively with various stakeholders in Egypt, and remain highly enthusiastic about the potential, but our first task has to be to resolve the legacy dispute with North Petroleum ("North"), the operator, which governs East Ghazalat, and the case has now been referred to international arbitration.

 

In summary, I believe the future looks very bright for Nostra Terra. We have delivered on our promise to build secure, long-term, profitable production. We are now cash flow positive at the plc level and have access to significant working capital, fundamental attributes that are rarely found in companies on AIM or of our size. Now that we have put in place such a solid foundation our intention is to build on this through further acquisitions and organic growth. I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and look forward to reporting more progress in future.

Chief Executive Officer's Report

 

Our primary goal in 2017 was to become cash flow positive at the plc level. It took us two months longer than I had hoped, but we hit this target in February 2018. This is perhaps our most significant achievement to date and positions Nostra Terra for exciting growth ahead, as we seek to introduce larger assets to the Company with much more potential upside.

 

Revenues for the year were £1,128,000 an increase of 300% from 2016. Loss for the year was £1,044,000. In April 2017 the Company raised £500,000 through an equity placing at 2 pence per share. Included in this were 1 for 1 warrants, exercisable within 12 months at 3 pence per share. Nearly all of the warrants were exercised by April 2018, raising an additional £738,000 for the Company.

 

Moving forward we will certainly seek to build on this success, through further drilling across our existing portfolio of assets. However, now that we are in a much more secure position financially, with a stronger balance sheet, we can also afford to explore a more ambitious acquisition plan. If successful this change in approach could significantly increase Nostra Terra's growth trajectory.

 

My vision has always been to build a much larger company, built on solid fundamentals. The first phase of this plan is now complete and I am excited about the next phase ahead.

 

United States

Pine Mills, Texas

Having secured our initial stake (80% working interest) in the Pine Mills oil field in late 2016, our operations team made an immediate impact. By the turn of the year we were able to report two consecutive months of profitable oil production at Pine Mills and have sustained that record every month since. Furthermore, Pine Mills has provided us with such stable and consistent excess cash flow that it has become the cornerstone of our turnaround strategy.

 

This very much confirms our original basis for acquiring Pine Mills and the subsequent strategic efforts we expended in the first half of 2017 to secure 100% of the asset. Subsequently, we were able to include all revenues generated at Pine Mills in 2017 in our reported figures.

 

Due to the stable production at Pine Mills and the performance of our operational team, in September 2017 we secured a hedging facility with BP Energy Company. This was a significant achievement for a company of Nostra Terra's size and marked a turning point for the Company.

 

To secure the hedging facility we underwent a vigorous due diligence process. We were able to demonstrate an established track record of consistent production and the viability of our long-term model consolidating efforts made in the first half of 2017.

 

Permian Basin, Texas

Having secured the hedging facility, we were confident we would be able to obtain a new Senior Lending Facility. Initial discussions with a number of banks went well and this gave us confidence to press ahead with the third acquisition in the Permian Basin, where we would drill the Twin Well. This acquisition, in late October 2017, marked another step change in our delivery.

 

Prior to the acquisition, the neighbouring operator inadvertently drilled a well into the lease, which produced 350 barrels of oil in less than three days. Because of this error the neighbouring operator had to plug and abandon its well and was required to provide us with the well data.

 

It has since produced at a strong rate above 50bopd. From permitting to getting paid took less than four months.

 

We now have approximately 22 drill ready locations across our existing Permian Basin assets. Assuming we are able to continue growing production here, it is clear there is potential to increase significantly underlying value.

 

We retain interest and receive revenues from additional assets located in Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming. These are not substantial and are considered non-core assets.

 

Egypt

While we've made positive inroads in the country with the Government and local contact, unfortunately we have not been able to find a solution to the legacy issues with the Concession's operator, North Petroleum ("North"), and the case has now been referred to international arbitration.

 

We have been proactive in suggesting solutions to the issues raised, and sought positive resolutions. Nevertheless, Nostra Terra will now defend its position rigorously.

 

Senior Lending Facility

At the beginning of 2017 we secured a new $5 million Senior Lending Facility. The initial borrowing base was $1.2 million at a 4.75% interest rate. The facility will be reviewed at least twice a year, meaning the borrowing base can increase or decrease based on changes in production, reserves, cash flow and commodity prices. With the progress we have made increasing production at Pine Mills, across our Permian Basin assets, and the considerable improvement in the oil price, Nostra Terra is well positioned to accelerate its growth.

 

Outlook

With oil sector strength and Nostra Terra cash flow positive at the plc level, this is a most exciting time to be involved in the business. We already have a number of potential catalysts to rerate the business in our asset portfolio and are extremely well positioned to raise our sights in terms of new acquisitions. We are an attractive company to work with for potential targets and the Washington Federal Senior Lending Facility provides us with a great deal of balance sheet support.

 

I would like to finish by thanking our shareholders for their support and I look forward to providing more updates as we continue to grow the Company.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group had two classes of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being those share options granted to employees and suppliers where the exercise price is less than the average market price of the Group's ordinary shares during the year, and warrants granted to directors and one former adviser.

 

Details of the adjusted earnings per share are set out below:

Continued operations:

The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share as the loss for the year has an anti-dilutive effect.
