Interim Management Statement & Accounts

Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc (the 'Company' or 'NTOG') Interim accounts for the five months to 30 June 2007 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 24 September 2007 Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company Plc (formerly LHP Investments Plc) acquired Nostra Terra (Overseas) Limited (NTOL), raised £350,000 (excluding expenses) and was admitted to trading on AIM on 20 July 2007 which is after the end of the interim period being reported. NTOL intends to re-open certain wells which were previously producing oil in the area covered by its Oktyabrskoe licence in the Tarkhankurt Peninsula located in the northwest region of greater Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine, which were capped as being uneconomic in a period when oil prices were at much lower levels. Financial Overview Expenses incurred during the period relate to basic administration costs and as at the date of the balance sheet the company had net current assets of £117,000, all effectively held in cash. For the period a loss of £3,000 has been incurred, which on a weighted average equates to a basic and fully diluted loss of 0.004p pence per share; no dividend is being declared. Review and Outlook The Board has been joined by myself as Chairman, Brian Courtney as Chief Executive Officer , Glenn MacNeil as Chief Financial Officer and Des Smith as Chief Operating Officer. We have begun fieldwork on the Oktyabrskoe licence to re-open wells numbers 24 and 10. We are optimistic and expect the success of these re-openings to be known in October in respect of well 24 and in December in respect of well 10. Further fieldwork on the Oktyabrskoe licence to re-open other wells is also being planned.
