Chairman's Statement

The year ended 31 December 2018 has been a further transformational year for Reabold Resources Plc ("Reabold" or the "Company") as Sachin Oza and Stephen Williams, the Co-Chief Executive Officers, lead the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") in advancing its investment strategy in the exploration and production ("E&P") sector.

The reporting period has seen significant progression in the Company's investing policy to acquire direct and indirect interests in exploration and producing projects and assets in the natural resources sector. Whilst the Company has to date focused its investments in the UK, Europe and North America, consideration continues to be given to investment opportunities in other jurisdictions.

As an investor in upstream oil & gas projects, Reabold aims to create value from each project by investing in undervalued, low-risk, near-term upstream oil & gas projects and by identifying potential monetisation plans prior to investment. Reabold's long term strategy is to re-invest capital made through its investments into larger projects in order to grow the Company. Reabold aims to gain exposure to assets with limited downside and high potential upside, capitalising on the value created between the entry stage and exit point of its projects.

Corallian Energy

On 1 November 2017, the Company made its first investment under its focused investment strategy, entering share subscription agreements to acquire a total of 1,111,111 new Corallian shares at £1.35 per share, for a total investment of £1,500,000. Corallian is a private UK oil & gas appraisal and exploration company, which has a portfolio of UK oil & gas licences, including the Colter and Wick appraisal and exploration projects. The first £500,000 subscription in Corallian was completed on signing of a subscription agreement, with a further £1,000,000 subscription completed in May 2018.

On 12 February 2018, Reabold announced that Corallian was intending to raise additional capital in order to increase Corallian's exposure to the Colter prospect from 40% to 50%, to increase its exposure to the Wick prospect from 25% to 40%, and to further progress additional assets. The Company was pleased to have supported this fund raising, entering into two further subscription agreements with Corallian. The first agreement was an unconditional subscription for 333,333 new Corallian shares at £1.50 per share for an investment of £500,000, which was completed in February 2018. The second agreement gave Reabold the option to subscribe for an additional 333,333 new Corallian shares, at a price of £1.50 per share, for an investment of £500,000 at any point up to 6 April 2018, which was completed prior to the expiry date.

On 11 December 2018, the Company announced that Corallian has raised £912,300 by way of an advanced subscription agreement, with Reabold participating in this fund raise with an investment of £300,000, maintaining its 32.9% interest. The additional shares to be issued under the advanced subscription agreement are priced at the higher of either a 30% discount to the price achieved in the next Corallian funding round, or at £1.50 per share (in line with the price per share at the previous fund raise) if no funding round has occurred within 12 months.

Completion of the above subscriptions resulted in Reabold investing a total of £2,800,000 for a 32.9% interest in Corallian as at 31 December 2018.

In December 2018, Corallian received final regulatory approvals for the drilling of the Wick and Colter wells, which were drilled as a back-to-back programme using the ENSCO-72 jack-up rig, commencing first with the drilling of the Wick well in December 2018. Following completion of the Wick well, the rig was mobilised from the Moray Firth to the English Channel to drill the Colter well, in February 2019.

In January 2019, the Company was disappointed to announce that Corallian, operator of the Wick well located in the UKCS Block 11/24b (Licence P2235), had informed the Company that the target Beatrice sands, whilst present in the well, were water bearing. The well had been drilled to a total depth of 1,000 metres. Whilst we were disappointed with the result of the Wick well, we considered Wick to be the highest risk prospect in our portfolio and not representative of the typical Reabold appraisal target.

In February 2019, the Company was pleased to report that Corallian encountered pay^[1] within the Colter South fault block. The Colter well (98/11a-6) was drilled as a vertical well with the ENSCO-72 jack-up rig and reached a Total Depth of 1,870 metres MD (measured depth) in the Sherwood Sandstone.

The Company was pleased that the well confirmed a discovery in the Colter South Prospect for which Corallian had estimated a PMean recoverable volume of 15 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) pre-drill.

Encouraged by the results at the Colter prospect, in February 2019, the Company secured an additional equity investment into Corallian, by way of an advanced subscription agreement, whereby Reabold invested £750,000, which will be priced at a 30% discount to the next Corallian fundraise. This investment would cover Corallian's expected costs in relation to the sidetrack to appraise the principal Colter oil discovery.

In March 2019, the sidetrack operation at the Colter well was completed. The purpose of the well had been to delineate the Colter structure accurately to complement the existing well and seismic data in the area. As previously announced, the anticipated controlling fault between the Colter and Colter South areas is further to the north than had been mapped on the 3D seismic.

We were delighted to make an oil discovery with the Colter well, and with the sidetrack effectively giving us two wells worth of data, the operator is now in a position to undertake the necessary work to determine the optimum forward plan. The data from these well results and existing data will be incorporated to determine the best forward plan.

On 5 June 2019, the Company announced that Corallian has been offered five new licences by the Oil and Gas Authority as part of the 31st Offshore Licensing Round, offering blocks in frontier areas of the UK Continental Shelf. Three of these new licences have been awarded with joint venture partners, while the other two have been offered on a 100% interest basis. The five licences comprise 22 blocks and part blocks, including one in the English Channel (49%. interest), two in the Inner Moray Firth (40%. interest each), one in the Viking Graben (100% interest) and one in the West of Shetland basin (100% interest).

Danube Petroleum

On 4 December 2017, the Company announced its second portfolio investment, , whereby it entered into an agreement with Danube, which was then a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed ADX Energy Ltd (ASX:ADX) ("ADX"), to invest a total of £1,500,000 for a 29% interest in Danube. Danube was a newly-formed UK private oil and gas company, which at the time held a 50% interest in the high impact Parta licence ("Parta"), onshore Romania, and a 100% interest in a low-risk appraisal campaign within Parta, comprising of two wells planned to test 49.9 billion cubic feet (bcf) prospective and contingent resources.

The first tranche of the Company's investment in Danube of 375,940 new Danube shares at £1.00 per share for an investment of £375,940 was completed in March 2018, with the second tranche of 1,127,819 new Danube shares at £1.00 per share for an investment of £1,127,819 being completed following submission of an Authorisation for Expenditure for the first appraisal well (the "First Parta Appraisal Well") on 17 September 2018.

In addition, Reabold held an option to acquire a further 375,940 shares in Danube, at a price of £1.00 per share, which could be exercised at the discretion of the Company within the six months following completion of the transaction. In November 2018, the Company exercised this option and invested a further £375,940 in Danube. Following the above subscriptions, Reabold had invested a total of £1,879,700 for a 33.3% interest in Danube.

In October 2018, the Company announced that Danube had entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") to purchase a 100% interest in the Iecea Marea Production Licence (the "IM Production Licence") from the Romanian oil & gas production company, Amromco Energy SRL ("Amromco"). Under the terms of the SPA, Danube paid Amromco an initial fee of €10,000, followed by a further €20,000 and a 5% royalty for production from future wells located within the IM Production Licence. The acquisition of the IM Production Licence enables the Parta Appraisal well to be drilled from an optimal location within the IM Production Licence area and enhances Danube's ability to organically develop other high-value gas production opportunities in the area.

On 11 December 2018, the Company announced that it had been in discussions with ADX regarding the timing of the ADX commitment to invest US$500,000, either directly or via a third party, into Danube at £1.00 per share. This is the price per share at which all Reabold investments have taken place to date into Danube. As a result of this process, in December 2018, Reabold and ADX entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") to extend the deadline for this investment, and agreed the following funding commitments and options:

1) Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, ADX committed to either invest directly or source investment from a third party for £375,940 on the same terms as Reabold's investments prior to 15 March 2019 (at £1.00 per share). In the event that ADX did not complete (or procure a third party to complete) the ADX Investment by 15 March 2019, ADX agreed to grant Reabold the right to subscribe to the shares at an issue price of £0.80 per new Danube share.

2) Reabold had the option to subscribe to a further 375,940 Danube shares at an issue price of £1.00 per share at any time prior to 15 March 2019.

In addition, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Reabold and ADX agreed to grant the following options to subscribe for shares in Danube in order to provide funding for the second Parta Appraisal Well ("Second Parta Well Funding"):

1) Reabold may subscribe for a further 1,627,604 Danube shares at an issue price of £1.20 per share by electing to do so within six weeks of receipt of well logging data from the final logging run on the First Parta Appraisal Well. The monies raised by Danube, should Reabold elect to subscribe for these shares, would be £1,953,125.

2) ADX may subscribe for a further 651,042 Danube shares at an issue price of £1.20 per share by electing to do so within six weeks of receipt of well logging data from the final logging run on the First Parta Appraisal Well. The monies raised by Danube, should ADX elect to subscribe for these shares, would be £781,250.

3) Reabold and ADX may exercise their respective options to acquire shares up to a value of £1,953,125 for Reabold and £781,250 for ADX at any time prior to the spudding of the First Parta Well at a subscription price of £1.00 per Danube share rather than £1.20 per Danube share.

The agreed funding options provided a framework to fund the drilling, testing and completion for production of the two planned Parta Appraisal wells. Assuming the above funding options are exercised, up to £4,910,225 (approximately US$6.2m) of funds would be provided to Danube by the parties.

On 19 March 2019, ADX provided an update on the Parta appraisal operations in Romania. Danube owns 100% of the Parta Exploration Permit, in which the IM Production Licence is located. The planned First Parta Appraisal Well is expected to spud in late-June 2019.

Danube selected IM-1 as the first drilling candidate for the appraisal programme (i.e. the First Parta Appraisal Well) as it sits within the IM Production Licence and Danube believes a successful well on the Production Licence can be put into production more readily. The IM-2 well is located within Parta Exploration Permit but outside of the IM Production Licence.

The spudding of IM-1 will be later than previously planned, primarily due to Danube's preference to drill IM-1 from within the IM Production Licence, which needed to be formally transferred from Amromco before the government authority could issue a drilling permit. Furthermore, despite the acquisition of the IM Production Licence completing in October 2018, the full data set utilised for prospect evaluation and planning for the IM Production Licence was not provided to ADX until 19 December 2018.

IM-1 is targeting multiple pay zones, including established appraisal potential from historical wells drilled in the 1980s one of which was tested but never produced. An independent report prepared by ERC Equipoise Pte Ltd ("ERCE") in mid-2018, assessed the contingent and prospective resource potential of IM-1 of 18.8 bcf on a P50 basis^[2]. This excludes deeper exploration potential, which will be accessed by the IM-1 well. ERCE has assessed a contingent and prospective resource, excluding the exploration potential, of 49.9 bcf across IM-1 and IM-2 on a P50 basis.

The most likely cost estimate for the IM-1 well is currently US$3m, for which Danube is fully funded, including evaluation, logging and running casing. This cost estimate does not include well testing operations which are planned to be undertaken with a much smaller and lower cost work over unit. Included in the well cost estimate is a well head and production tubing, which has already been purchased.

Danube currently holds a 100% interest in the Parta Licence, following the withdrawal of previous partner Rohöl-Aufsuchungs Aktiengesellschaft ("RAG") on 31 March 2019 and, following completion of the Farm-In, Danube will again have a 50% interest in the Parta Licence. The Farm-In excludes the Parta Appraisal Programme Area, in which Danube has a 100% interest, and expects to drill the IM-1 appraisal well in Q2 2019, as announced on 19 March 2019. The Farminee is a company formed to undertake exploration in Romania, with guaranteed financial support to undertake its Farm-In obligations. The agreement is conditional on finalisation of a joint operating agreement and the extension of the Licence for a further two years.

The Farminee will fund the first US$1.5m of expenditure, for the acquisition of approximately 100 km2 of 3D seismic to earn a 50% participating interest in the Parta Licence. ADX expects all Farm-In funding conditions to be met by the end of June 2019 and will commence planning the seismic programme during Q3 2019, with a view to seismic acquisition occurring during Q4 2019. ADX has previously acquired approximately 100km of 2D seismic and 50km2 of 3D seismic, and has licenced (with landowners) an area of approximately 200km2 for future 3D seismic acquisition within the Parta Licence. The Parta Licence activities are intended to provide low risk, high reward exploration follow up drilling locations for Danube, following on from the Parta Appraisal Programme.

This was a highly encouraging development for Danube and we are also encouraged to see additional interest in putting capital to work in Romania. With RAG making the decision to withdraw from all E&P activities, their 50% equity position has effectively been swapped into an enthusiastic new entrant that is putting an additional US$1.5m into the asset, to further develop the Parta Licence.

Whilst the focus in Romania has always been on the imminent appraisal programme, a key attraction of our Danube position has always been the additional prospectivity and running room within the Parta Licence area. This seismic programme is a key step towards further unlocking that potential and building an E&P business of scale in Romania, without any additional capital being required from Danube or Reabold.

On 9 May 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that it had agreed to subscribe for a further 375,940 ordinary shares in Danube at an issue price of £1.00 per share, increasing Reabold's interest in Danube from 33.3% to 37.5%. In addition, ADX, on behalf of Danube, has agreed to engage Reabold for a period of 12 months to provide Corporate Advisory Services to Danube for an annual fee of approximately £75,000.

On 30 May 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that Danube has received all the required permits from the relevant bodies and secured all the key services and materials required to enable the drilling of the IM-1 appraisal well. The construction of the well site and access road is expected to be completed within 6-8 weeks, following which, the IM-1 well will be drilled immediately.

It should be noted that all approvals and permits have already been secured for the Iecea Mica 2 well, the second planned well in the Parta appraisal programme.

Gaelic Resources

On 4 July 2018, the Company was pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Gaelic for the issue of 420 million new ordinary shares in Reabold (the "Consideration Shares"), representing £2,625,000 at the closing price of 0.625p per share on AIM on 4 July 2018 (the "Gaelic Acquisition"). The Gaelic Acquisition provides Reabold with options to participate in multiple near-term, high-impact oil and gas leases in California, United States (the "Leases").

The acquisition of Gaelic was considered by management to be a perfect fit with the Reabold strategy, providing high-impact drilling opportunities in California, with considerably de-risked wells with low drilling costs and a fast path to monetisation. The Company has been delighted with the commercial success of the drilling programme to date, demonstrating the effectiveness of this strategy.

Gaelic's wholly owned subsidiary, Temporary Energy LLC ("Temporary"), holds the rights to earn-in to 50% of the Leases by drilling up to five wells by the end of 2019, pursuant to an agreement entered into with Sunset Exploration, Inc (the "Earn-in Agreement").

Successful wells have been put into production, providing cash flow for further drilling activity. The Leases are operated by Integrity Management Solutions ("Integrity" or the "Operator"), a California operating company that leads direct operational decisions pertaining to the Leases. The five-well drilling programme is expected to cost Reabold up to approximately US$7m.

An outline of Temporary's California projects is set out below:

(i) Monroe Swell Redevelopment:

· Redevelopment of four out of seven existing production wells with oil in place of 1mmbbl (million barrels)^[3]

· Operator estimate of potential value to Reabold US$10m3

(ii) Monroe Swell Drilling:

· 3D defined, high-impact shallow prospects

· Operator estimates potential resource of more than 4mmbbl of oil3

· Two-well programme to earn-in to 50% of the asset, the first to be drilled before the end of 2018, the second by mid-2019

· Both wells were drilled by 1 April 2019, earning Reabold a 50% interest

· Operator estimate of potential value to Reabold US$100m3

(iii) West Brentwood:

· Oil field with significant historical production

· Up-dip portion of the field expected to be undrained; well defined by 3D seismic

· 1-2mmbbl of oil in place3

· Temporary has earned a 50% equity interest in the licence

· Operator estimate of potential value to Reabold of US$25m3

(iv) Grizzly Island:

· Gas prospects with 50-90 bcf recoverable3

· Defined by 70 square mile 3D seismic data

· Temporary has the right to earn into a 50% equity interest in the licence

· Operator estimate of potential value to Reabold: US$50-100m3

Monroe Swell Redevelopment

In August 2018, the Company was pleased to complete the four well workover programme consisting of the Doud A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-7 wells, with the wells brought into initial production, and Reabold earning a 50% working interest in the wells. The Doud wells had been partially shut in post the very heavy rains experienced in California, with a plan to return to higher production following the Burnett well programme which continues.

West Brentwood

As part of the Earn-in Agreement, Reabold funded the VG-3 well to earn a 50% equity interest in the West Brentwood licence. In August 2018, the drilling of VG-3 commenced targeting the up-dip portion of a previously produced field which has been identified on 3D seismic.

On 30 August 2018, the Company was delighted to announce that Integrity, the contract operator of the Company's California investments, had informed the Company of a commercial hydrocarbon discovery at the VG-3 well that would be completed as a producer. In September 2018, VG-3 was successfully tested and in November 2018 it was put into production.

Given the success of the VG-3 well, the decision was made to prioritise the drilling of a second well on the West Brentwood licence, in which the Company has earned a 50% interest, ahead of the drilling of a well on Grizzly Island.

On 3 January 2019, the Company was informed by Integrity of a successful drilling result at the VG-4 well, with significant oil and gas shows in the targeted formation. The well was put on production at a constrained rate due to the associated gas being produced with the oil and, on 29 April 2019, the Company announced that, work was underway to complete a tie into the nearby gas pipeline. This will allow the VG-4 well to produce oil at a higher rate, as well as allowing the sale of the gas produced from the well. Integrity awaits an Encroachment Permit from the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources required to complete the tie-in due to the proximity of the pipeline to a public road. VG-4 has been shut in whilst this final stage of the works is completed.

Success at VG-4 is a great result, both in terms of the substantial increase in cash flow that we can generate from West Brentwood, and in proving that we have significant running room within our California portfolio. We continue to be impressed by the performance at West Brentwood, and we are actively considering the potential for additional wells to further accelerate the already impressive cash flow.

Monroe Swell

Pursuant to the Earn-in Agreement with Sunset Exploration, Reabold will pay the full drilling and completion costs of two wells within the Monroe Swell licence areas in order to earn a 50% net working interest in these licences. Additional activity beyond the initial two wells will be funded by Reabold on a 50% working interest basis. Similar to West Brentwood, the wells on Monroe Swell targeted the up-dip parts of previously produced parts of the field which had been identified on 3D seismic.

On 11 March 2019, Reabold was pleased to announce that Integrity had informed the Company of a successful drilling result and oil discovery at the Burnett 2A well in California. Following the Burnett 2A drilling results, Reabold and Integrity made the decision to seek accelerated permitting for the Burnett 2B well. On 1 April 2019, Reabold announced that Integrity had informed the Company of a successful oil discovery at the Burnett 2B well.

Following the drilling and completion of the Burnett 2B and 2A wells, Temporary has completed its earn-in to the Monroe Swell licence area and has been assigned a 50% equity interest. Future activity at the Monroe Swell field will be undertaken at a 50% paying interest to Temporary.

Grizzly Island

In view of the success of the West Brentwood and Monroe Swell programmes, the drilling in Grizzly Island is now planned for later this year.

Rathlin Energy

On 30 November 2018, the Company completed a subscription agreement with Rathlin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Calgary-based Connaught Oil & Gas Limited ("Connaught"), to invest a total of £3,000,000 (the "investment") for an equity interest of 37.08% in Rathlin, which is the operator of the PEDL183 licence onshore UK. The investment was conditional on, inter alia, the completion of a farm out, by Rathlin, of PEDL183 to Union Jack Oil plc ("Union Jack") and Humber Oil & Gas Ltd ("Humber") (the "Farm Out") which resulted in Rathlin retaining a 66.67% equity interest in PEDL183. The licence contains the significant West Newton A-1 gas discovery, and the investment has been utilised, together with the Farm Out, to fund the drilling of an appraisal well on this discovery during Q1/Q2 2019.

Project Highlights:

· Q1 2019 drilling programme, designed to test two high-impact targets

· Gross Contingent Resource of 189bcfe (31.5mmboe) assigned to the West Newton A-1 gas discovery

· Gas appraisal target with an estimated 72% chance of success and gross NPV (10) of US$247m^[5]

· Additional future upside from the testing of the reef flank Cadeby formation oil prospect, with gross Prospective Resource of 79.1mmboe

· Cadeby oil exploration target which has an estimated 24% chance of success and gross NPV (10) of US$850m5

· Planning permission for the appraisal well is in place and the target is drill ready

· Connaught Management estimates supported by a 2017 Competent Person's Report (CPR)

On 26 April 2019, Reabold was pleased to announce that drilling operations had commenced at the West Newton A-2 appraisal well, onshore UK. Drilling operations will first consist of one well drilling into the Kirkham Abbey Formation gas discovery, de-risking 189 bcfe (billion cubic feet equivalent) Contingent Resources, before then targeting the deeper Cadeby Formation oil exploration target which has gross Prospective Resources of 79.1mmboe.

In a success case, West Newton offers a fast pathway to monetisation through its proximity to existing gas pipelines and infrastructure in the local area. The West Newton A-2 appraisal well will be drilled to a total depth of approximately 2,061 metres below ground level and it was expected to take circa 40 days to complete drilling operations.

The Company believes that West Newton is extremely attractive, due to both its scale and its location, and the West Newton A-1 discovery suggests that Rathlin may have one of the largest onshore UK gas fields. Reabold is pleased to have provided the funding for the appraisal well that can potentially prove up its considerable value.

On 17 June 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that the West Newton A-2 appraisal well had been successful, which confirms Connaught's previous assessment that West Newton could potentially be the largest UK onshore gas field, and the largest hydrocarbon discovery onshore UK since 1973. Preliminary data suggests West Newton 2C Contingent Resources5 is at least the pre-drill estimate of 189bcf, the equivalent of 31.5mmbbl of oil. The data from the A-2 appraisal well is subject to further testing, which is required to determine flow rates and inform the forward work programme. The extended well test operations are expected to commence during Q3 2019.

Rathlin currently has a 66.67% interest in PEDL183, with both Union Jack Oil plc and Humber Oil & Gas Limited holding 16.665% of the licence. Reabold currently has an approximate 24% economic interest in PEDL183, via its approximate 36% equity interest in Rathlin. Connaught currently holds an approximate 35% equity interest in Rathlin.

Placings

In March 2018, the Company was delighted to complete a significant fund raising of £7.75m (before expenses) through the issue of 1,291,750,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.6 pence per share, to support the Company's investment policy.

In September 2018, the Company was pleased to complete a further fund raising of £4.83m (before expenses), through the issue of 568,908,823 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.85 pence per share, to further support the Company's investment policy.

The Company was delighted by the support given by institutional investors to the placings, including welcoming significant new institutions to the share register.

Strategic Report

Much has been achieved in the reporting period, including:

· two rounds of fundraising attracting strong institutional support;

· investments in Corallian, Danube and Rathlin, funding exciting (and potentially transformational) drilling campaigns;

· the acquisition of 100% of Gaelic and commercial drilling success; and

· evaluating a number of further exciting potential transactions, consistent with our strategy.

These achievements are just the first part of executing our differentiated strategy, which is tailored to create shareholder value against an industry backdrop that has caused widespread share price underperformance in junior exploration and production companies since 2012.

Our strong focus on this sector during our many years in the asset management industry leaves us fully understanding the frustration felt by investors experiencing falling share prices despite sound underlying asset bases. At the core of the Reabold strategy is the conversion of quality assets into positive share price performance, and this mindset drives everything that we do.

This is a very exciting time in the upstream oil & gas industry; costs remain extremely low following the downturn, and with a healthy commodity price outlook, project returns (for high quality assets) are more robust than has been the case for quite some time. As such, this is the ideal time to put capital into the ground, and the lack of activity in conventional oil & gas over the last half a decade has resulted in an abundance of interesting projects in need of financing.

We are extremely excited by the return potential these opportunities provide Reabold investors and look forward to embarking on a further multi-well transformational drilling campaign over the next twelve months.

Business Model

Reabold invests in the E&P sector. The Company's investing policy is to acquire direct and indirect interests in exploration and producing projects and assets in the natural resources sector, and consideration is currently given to investment opportunities anywhere in the world.

Reabold's long term strategy is to re-invest capital made through its investments into larger projects in order to grow the Company. Reabold aims to gain exposure to assets with limited downside and high potential upside, capitalising on the value created between the entry stage and exit point of its projects. The Company invests in projects that have limited correlation to the oil price. The value realisation of a project is determined by monetising the asset (putting it into production or selling it). The entry price versus the monetisation price is determined, primarily by the derisking event of drilling.

Reabold's non-operator model helps to keep costs low and facilitate a fully diversified portfolio.

Reabold has a specific strategy to fund other operators' appraisal wells, assessed as high quality, high return projects that have been technically de-risked by previous drilling. The projects targeted have relatively quick cycle times to monetisation.

In order to maximise the return profile, identifying the optimal time to exit a project is critical to Reabold's strategy. Doing so effectively will allow the company to scale and attract more capital over time. Monetisation of investments depends on the extent of any success and market conditions, which are principally:

i) an asset sale or IPO; and/or

ii) putting the asset into production.

Reabold has effectively two business streams:

i) monetisation of investments through asset sale or IPO within 18 to 24 months upon major valuation milestone of drilling success; and

ii) monetisation of investments by putting the asset into production.

Reabold has a highly experienced management team, who possess the necessary background, knowledge and contacts to carry out the Company's strategy. Management believes the current distress in the oil & gas industry presents an opportune time to deploy capital in undervalued assets with huge potential.

Corallian

In February 2019, the Colter well (98/11a-6) was drilled as a vertical well with the ENSCO-72 jack-up rig, reaching a Total Depth of 1,870 metres MD in the Sherwood Sandstone. This well was an appraisal of the 98/11-3 well, drilled in 1986 by British Gas, within the Colter Prospect. The 98/11a-6 well unexpectedly remained on the southern side of the Colter Prospect bounding fault but encountered oil and gas shows over a 9.4 metres interval at the top of the Sherwood Sandstone reservoir. A petrophysical evaluation of the LWD data has calculated a net pay of 3 metres. Similar indications of oil and gas were encountered in the 98/11-1 well, drilled in 1983 by British Gas, within the Colter South fault terrace. Provisional analysis of the new data indicates that the two wells may share a common oil-water-contact having both intersected the down-dip margin of the Colter South prospect. Corallian's most recent assessment of the Colter South Prospect prior to drilling the 98/11a-6 well had estimated a mean recoverable volume of 15mmbbls. Further work will be required to refine this assessment with the new well data.

The joint venture subsequently side-tracked the 98/11a-6 well. The side-track was drilled directionally to a Sherwood Sandstone target within the Colter prospect on the northern side of the bounding fault. In March 2018, the sidetrack operation at the Colter well was completed. The purpose of the well had been to delineate the Colter structure accurately to complement the existing well and seismic data in the area. As previously announced, the anticipated controlling fault between the Colter and Colter South areas is further to the north than had been mapped on the 3D seismic.

Following completion of drilling, it has now been determined that the majority of the potential resource resides within the Colter South portion of the play. The more northerly location of the fault results in a larger areal extent than previously mapped at Colter South, which modelled a 15mmbbl Pmean^[6] potential resource within the Colter South Prospect. Further work will now be undertaken to evaluate the resource size at Colter South, incorporating this new data. However, this also results in a smaller areal extent of the Colter feature north of the fault, which is unlikely to yield additional commercial volumes.

The data from these well results will be used to determine the forward plan to maximise the potential value associated with the Colter South Prospect. In addition, the side-track encountered oil and gas shows in the Jurassic Cornbrash-Lower Oxfordian interval, the producing reservoirs in the Kimmeridge oilfield, and this provides an interesting potential target on trend to the west within the onshore licences held by the Joint Venture.

On 5 June 2019, the Company announced that Corallian has been offered five new licences, comprising 22 blocks and part blocks, including one in the English Channel (49% interest), two in the Inner Moray Firth (40% interest each), one in the Viking Graben (100% interest) and one in the West of Shetland basin (100% interest). The fact that Corallian has been awarded 22 new blocks and part blocks out of a total of just 144 by the Oil and Gas Authority as part of the 31st Offshore Licensing Round in the UK, demonstrates the significant capability and experience of its management team in identifying opportunities. In particular, the award of blocks around the Colter discovery is a highly important step for Corallian in realising further potential in the area and ultimately generating value for Reabold shareholders.

Danube

Reabold's investment in Danube offers the Company exposure to the low-risk, high-impact, Parta licence, onshore Romania, in line with Reabold's strategy, and a two-well appraisal campaign is scheduled for 2019. The objective of the campaign is to test 49.9 bcf of prospective and contingent resources, delineated by 3D seismic data, gross to Danube, which ADX estimates will generate US$128m of NPV to Danube.

Parta particularly stood out as an opportunity due to the low drilling and operating costs and low risk nature of the appraisal drilling from a subsurface perspective. The economics are extremely attractive based on current gas prices and the licence is considered profitable at considerably lower gas prices.

As part of the planned work programme, the appraisal wells are also intended to be producer wells. Danube can use the abundance of nearby infrastructure to readily monetise gas, thereby creating cash flow for Danube and subsequently Reabold. This cash can then be used to target further upside on the licence on which prospective resources of 300bcf of gas and 45mmbbl of oil have been identified by the operator. As part of the appraisal campaign, two gas discoveries, one of which has previously flowed gas to surface, will be re-drilled.

On 19 March 2019, ADX provided an update on the Parta appraisal operations in Romania. Danube owns 100% of the Parta Exploration Permit, in which the IM Production Licence is located, which was acquired from Amromco in October 2018. The planned Parta appraisal programme consists of two wells, IM-1 and IM-2, with IM-1 expected to spud in late-June 2019.

Since mid-2018, Danube has been seeking to obtain all of the necessary permits and statutory approvals required to allow it to drill the two appraisal wells, which have now all been duly received. Danube has recently selected IM-1 as the first drilling candidate for the appraisal programme as it sits within the IM Production Licence and Danube believes it can be put into production in a relatively short timeframe. The IM-2 well is located within Parta Exploration Permit but outside of the IM Production Licence.

The spudding of IM-1 will be later than previously planned, primarily due to Danube's preference to drill IM-1 from within the Production Licence, which needed to be formally transferred from Amromco before the government authority could issue a drilling permit. Furthermore, despite the acquisition of the IM Production Licence completing in October 2018, the full data set utilised for prospect evaluation and planning for the IM Production Licence was not provided to ADX until 19 December 2018.

IM-1 is targeting multiple pay zones, including established appraisal potential from historical wells drilled in the 1980s that were tested but never produced. IM-1 also has exploration potential defined on recently acquired 3D seismic data. An independent report prepared by ERC Equipoise Pte Ltd ("ERCE") in mid-2018, assessed the contingent and prospective resource potential of IM-1 of 18.8bcf on a P50 basis. This excludes deeper exploration potential, which will be accessed by the IM-1 well. ERCE has assessed a contingent and prospective resource, excluding the exploration potential, of 49.9bcf across IM-1 and IM-2 on a P50 basis.

Due to expected overpressure starting at around 2,400 metres (the historical well blow out reservoir), 7" casing is programmed to be run to a depth of 2,350 metres TVD (true vertical depth). The well will then be drilled through the overpressure zone in a smaller 6 1/8" hole size and will reach TD (target depth) at around 2,500 meters.

On 8 April 2019, Reabold was pleased to announce that a binding Heads of Agreement had been signed between Danube's wholly owned subsidiary, ADX Energy Panonia Srl, and an Australian private company, Parta Energy Pty Ltd (the "Farminee") to fund a planned US$1.5m seismic programme on Danube's Parta Exploration Licence onshore Romania. Completion of the planned US$1.5m seismic programme will earn the Farminee a 50% interest in the Parta Exploration Licence (the "Farm-In"). Danube currently holds a 100% interest in the Licence, following the withdrawal of previous partner Rohöl-Aufsuchungs Aktiengesellschaft on 31 March 2019 and, following completion of the Farm-In, Danube will again have a 50% interest in the Parta Exploration Licence.

The Farm-In excludes the Parta Appraisal Programme Area, in which Danube has a 100% interest, and expects to drill the IM-1 appraisal well in Q2 2019, as announced on 19 March 2019. The Farminee is a company formed to undertake exploration in Romania, with guaranteed financial support to undertake its Farm-In obligations. The agreement is conditional on finalisation of a joint operating agreement and the extension of the Parta Exploration Licence for a further two years.

The Farminee will fund the first US$1.5 million of expenditure, for the acquisition of approximately 100 km2 of 3D seismic to earn a 50% participating interest in the Parta Exploration Licence. ADX expects all Farm-In funding conditions to be met by the end of June 2019 and will commence planning the seismic programme during Q3 2019, with a view to seismic acquisition occurring during Q4 2019. ADX has previously acquired approximately 100km of 2D seismic and 50km2 of 3D seismic and has licenced (with landowners) an area of approximately 200km2 for future 3D seismic acquisition within the Parta Exploration Licence.

The Parta Exploration Licence activities are intended to provide low risk, high reward, exploration follow up drilling locations for Danube, following on from the Parta Appraisal Programme.

On 30 May 2019, the Company announced that Danube has received all the required permits to enable the drilling of the IM-1 appraisal well, with the construction of the well site and access road expected to be completed within 6-8 weeks, following which, the IM-1 well will be drilled immediately.

The upper 2,350 metres of the IM-1 well will be a re-drill of the original discovery well and will evaluate multiple gas zones mapped on 3D seismic data including a gas zone which was flow tested. The well will then be deepened by a further 200 metres to evaluate a larger exploration target, which has been proven to contain hydrocarbons in other fields within the basin.

The IM-1 well is not only highly prospective, it also has the benefit of being close to infrastructure for gas, oil and electricity, thereby enabling the future potential for low cost, highly profitable commercialisation. With low well costs and approvals already secured for the second well in the appraisal campaign, we see significant value and running room in our Romanian investment and look forward to updating the market on further news in the coming months.

It should be noted that all approvals and permits have already been secured for the Iecea Mica 2 well, the second planned well in the Parta appraisal programme.

Gaelic

West Brentwood

On 30 August 2018, the Company was delighted to announce that Integrity, the contract operator of the Company's California investments, had informed the Company of a commercial hydrocarbon discovery at the Venturini-Ginochio #3 ("VG-3") well within the West Brentwood licence area. The well was safely drilled to the planned target depth of 4,600ft and was subsequently completed as a producing well.

The well was drilled in a location up-dip of a previously producing well on the West Brentwood field, where logging equipment indicated the presence of good sands and significant oil and gas shows in the Second Massive target formation as well as additional strong gas shows in shallower horizons. Halliburton wireline logging confirmed the presence of approximately 60 feet of pay, in line with the Company's pre-drilling targets. Surface cutting samples were taken confirming the presence of hydrocarbons. Integrity then installed production casing and completed the well as a producer.

Given the success at VG-3, Reabold and Integrity began work on assessing the potential to add a second well at West Brentwood to enhance value further.

On 20 September 2018, the Company was delighted to announce that Integrity had informed the Company of a successful test at the VG-3 well and was preparing facilities to accommodate production in excess of 200 barrels of oil per day and 60 million cubic feet of gas per day (gross). Post the first 36 hours of testing, Integrity had accumulated over 400 barrels of oil (gross) ready for sales.

On 2 November 2018, the Company announced that following the successful drilling and testing of the VG-3 well, which delivered an initial rate of 200 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") and 60 thousand standard cubic feet per day ("scf/d"), Integrity had put the well into production.

As a result of the success of the VG-3 well, the partners took the decision to prioritise the drilling of a second well on the West Brentwood licence as the second well in the California programme. This second well at West Brentwood was planned to be drilled by the end of 2018, with the aim of accelerating the cash flow generated from the licence. Accordingly, Reabold decided to defer the drilling of a well on Grizzly Island until 2019.

On 19 December 2018, the Company was pleased to announce that Integrity had commenced drilling operations at the VG-4 well within the West Brentwood Licence area, onshore California, in which Reabold owns a 50% equity interest.

On 3 January 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that Integrity had informed the Company of a successful drilling result at the VG-4 well. The well was drilled safely and within budget to a total depth of 4,700ft and had significant oil and gas shows in the targeted Second Massive formation. Halliburton wireline logging confirmed the presence of pay.

We continue to be impressed by the performance at West Brentwood, and we are actively considering the potential for additional wells to further accelerate the already impressive cash flow.

On 29 April 2019, the Company announced that at the West Brentwood field, in which Reabold has earned a 50% interest, work is underway to complete a tie into the nearby gas pipeline. This will allow the VG-4 well to produce oil at a higher rate, as well as allowing the sale of the gas produced from the well.

Monroe Swell

Temporary has an agreement with Sunset Exploration to pay the full drilling and completion costs of two wells within its Monroe Swell licence areas in order to earn a 50% net working interest in these licences. Additional activity beyond the initial two wells will be funded by Reabold on a 50% working interest basis.

On 4 March 2019, the Company was pleased to announce the access road at Monroe Swell had dried out after a prolonged period of severe weather conditions, and as a result drilling had commenced, with the Burnett 2A well spud on 2 March 2019. Similarly to VG-3, this will test a target up-dip of a previously-producing field which has been identified on 3D seismic and has been considerably de-risked by the recent workover campaign of four older wells at Monroe Swell.

On 11 March 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that Integrity had informed the company of a successful drilling result and oil discovery at the Burnett 2A well in California. The well was safely drilled and within budget, despite severe weather conditions, to a total depth of 922 metres, encountering the targeted Burnett and Lower Burnett sands. Significant oil and gas shows were seen within these formations and Halliburton wireline logging has confirmed the presence of pay estimated in excess of 60 metres, ahead of pre-drill expectations.

On 22 March 2019, Reabold announced the commencement of drilling operations at the Burnett 2B well within the Monroe Swell field. The drilling of Burnett 2B follows the successful Burnett 2A well drilled on the Monroe Swell field, as announced on 11 March 2019. Following the Burnett 2A drilling results, Reabold and Integrity, made the decision to seek accelerated permitting for the Burnett 2B well, which was successful. The drilling rig was retained at Monroe Swell and was utilised for the drilling of the 2B well.

On 1 April 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that Integrity had informed the Company of a successful drilling result and oil discovery at the Burnett 2B well in California, following on from the successful Burnett 2A well result. The well was drilled safely and within budget, despite continued severe weather conditions, to a total depth of 894 metres, encountering the targeted Burnett and Lower Burnett sands. Significant oil and gas shows were seen within these formations and Halliburton wireline logging has confirmed the presence of estimated pay of 90 metres, ahead of pre-drill expectations.

Following the drilling and completion of Burnett 2A and 2B, Reabold has completed its earn-in to the Monroe Swell licence area and has been assigned a 50% equity interest.

Success with the Burnett 2A and 2B wells is highly encouraging. With low drilling and completion costs, short drilling times and substantial running room, Monroe Swell can deliver substantial production growth coupled with highly attractive returns. Following our success at West Brentwood, we are delighted to have made a significant discovery at Monroe Swell, which we have always considered the core asset within the Company's US portfolio. Monroe Swell is expected to be a multi-well project which can unlock significant NPV potential.

On 29 April 2019, the Company was pleased to announce testing at the Burnett 2B well on the Monroe Swell field in California. This was the second of the two wells drilled at Monroe Swell, and announced as a discovery on 1 April 2019. On 20 May 2019, the Company announced that the perforating and swabbing operation at the Burnett 2B and Burnett 2A wells had been completed and commercial flow rates have been confirmed at both wells.

Reabold has now earned its 50% working interest in the licence and all future activity will be funded by Reabold at a 50% paying interest.

Both the Burnett 2A and 2B wells, have additional reservoir zones prognosed to be hydrocarbon bearing that have not yet been perforated and Reabold will evaluate the potential to target additional production from these zones at a later date, after gathering initial production data from these wells.

In addition, Reabold plans to drill further wells on this licence area, given this success, with the aim of growing production and cash flow.

We are very pleased that all four wells drilled in the California portfolio will soon be in permanent production. Flow rates at Burnett have been increasing throughout the testing period as the swabbing takes effect, and we look forward to seeing the sustainable flow rates once the pumping units are in place. In the meantime, we have produced and are selling meaningful volumes out of our existing wells, with the cash flow allowing us to continue to exploit Monroe Swell and West Brentwood to drive considerable, self-funded growth from these assets. With VG-4 soon to be on unconstrained flow, the two Burnett wells coming into production, and the restoration of full production at Doud A, we should see a sharp increase in production in the near term, with additional drilling to follow.

From 20 April 2019 to 8 May 2019, with VG-4 producing at the constrained rates, cumulative gross production across Reabold's California portfolio was 7,484boe gross (3,742boe net to Reabold). This excludes volumes produced through the testing programme at Burnett 2A and 2B.

Rathlin

On 26 April 2018, Reabold was pleased to announce that drilling operations had commenced at the West Newton A-2 appraisal well, onshore UK. Drilling operations have initially consisted of one well drilling into the Kirkham Abbey Formation gas discovery, de-risking 189 bcfe Contingent Resources, before then targeting the deeper Cadeby Formation oil exploration target which has gross Prospective Resources of 79.1mmboe.

Pre-drill estimates ascribe 72%^[7] chance of success and a gross NPV of US$247m^[8] for the Kirkham Abbey Formation discovery and a 24%7 chance of success and a gross NPV of US$850m8 for the Cadeby Formation prospect.

In a success case, West Newton offers a fast pathway to monetisation through its proximity to existing gas pipelines and infrastructure in the local area.

Rathlin is the operator and has a 66.67% equity interest in the UK onshore licence PEDL183, which contains the West Newton A-1 discovery, drilled by Rathlin in 2014.

In 2017, Deloitte LLP prepared a CPR for Connaught Oil & Gas Limited ("Connaught") (a 35% shareholder in Rathlin and operator of the West Newton A-2 well) incorporating both the data from the West Newton discovery well and subsequently acquired 3D seismic data over the field. The Deloitte CPR assigns Contingent Resource to the Kirkham Abbey gas formation and is the source of management volumetric assessments.

In our view, West Newton is extremely attractive, due to both its scale and its location and we are delighted to have been able to fund the appraisal well towards potentially proving up its considerable value.

On 17 June 2019, the Company was pleased to announce that the West Newton A-2 appraisal well had been successful, which confirms Connaught's previous assessment that West Newton could potentially be the largest UK onshore gas field, and the largest hydrocarbon discovery onshore UK since 1973. The results of the appraisal well have exceeded our expectations and have also shown a significant liquid hydrocarbon volume which has increased our excitement and the future value of the field materially. The deeper exploration target in the Cadeby formation encountered hydrocarbon shows with an oil saturated core.

The data from the A-2 appraisal well is subject to further testing, which is required the determine flow rates and inform the forward work programme. The extended well test operations are expected to commence during Q3 2019.

From its onshore location near Hull and with nearby infrastructure available, we anticipate that West Newton can provide material volumes of hydrocarbons for the UK's energy needs at low cost and in the near term.

Success in a project of this scale would undoubtedly be transformational for Reabold and its investors. Permitting is in place for an extended well test planned for Q3 2019. We look forward to the well test in the coming weeks and potentially generating early cash flow from the testing programme.

Financial Review

The Group loss for the 12 months ended 31 December 2018 was £1,949,000 (2017: loss of £1,152,000).

During the reporting period, the Group successfully commenced production from its California assets, generating revenues of £194,000 (2017: Nil) and gross profit of £111,000 (2017: Nil).

Total administration costs increased from £443,000 for the year ended 31 December 2017 to £939,000 for the year ended 31 December 2018, mainly driven by an increase in executive remuneration, legal fees, broker and investor relations fees, reflecting the significant increase in investment and market activities. The increase in the Group loss for the reporting period also reflected the increase in share-based payments expense of £995,000 (2017: £559,000), reflecting the further performance based incentivisation of executives.

For the year ended 31 December 2018, the Group net cash outflow from operating activities prior to movements in working capital was £940,000 (2017: cash outflow of £449,000), reflecting the increase in administration expenses, as outlined above. The cash outflow from investing activities increased considerably from £494,000 for the year ending 31 December 2017 to £9,348,000 for the year ended 31 December 2018, reflecting the significant increase in investment activities during the reporting period, including the investments in Corallian, Danube and Rathlin, and the funding of activities in California.

The Group raised £11,909,000 (net of costs) during the reporting period (2017: £5,816,000). Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2018 were £7,112,000 (2017: £5,307,000).

The Group total net assets and net current assets as at 31 December 2018 were £19,313,000 (2017: £5,732,000) and £7,073,000 (2017: £5,182,000) respectively.

Brexit

The Board continues to monitor the terms of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, which have not yet been finalised and accordingly the final impact of which on the Group is currently uncertain.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Reporting entity

Reabold Resources Plc is a public limited company registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act, with registered number 3542727, and limited by shares. The Company's registered office is at 20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities"). The nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors' report on pages 22 to 24.

2. Basis of preparation

The financial information set out in this report does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 December 2018 or 2017 but is derived from the 2018 accounts. Statutory accounts for 2017 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 2018 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Annual General Meeting. The auditor has reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018; its report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

These condensed preliminary financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

These condensed preliminary financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as stated in the accounting policies. Financial information is presented in pounds sterling unless otherwise stated, and amounts are expressed in thousands (£'000) and rounded accordingly.

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted for use by the European Union. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 June 2019.

(b) Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period ending 30 June 2020 which take account of the current cost and operational structure of the Group and investment agreements. These forecasts demonstrate that the Group has sufficient cash funds available to allow it to continue in business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investments in equity instruments, and share based payments that have been measured at fair value.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousands of pounds sterling (£1,000), unless otherwise indicated.

(e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

(i) Judgments

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is stated below and included in the following notes:

· IFRS 10 - Management have evaluated and made judgement that the Company is not an investment entity with reference to IFRS 10.

· Note 14 - Investment in associates impairment judgement. Judgements are required in assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at each reporting date. Management assess a range of external and internal indicators of impairment in exercising its judgment. External factors assessed include market value declines, negative changes in the economy, market prices, technology and applicable regulatory conditions and laws. Internal factors assessed include technical and economic performance below expectations.

• Note 17 - Exploration and evaluation accounting judgment. The Group policy is to capitalise all expenditure incurred during the appraisal phase until the determination process has been completed or until such point as commercial reserves have been established. Exploration and evaluation assets are expected to be recouped in future through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest.

(ii) Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following notes:

· Note 13 - Fair value assessment of investments in equity instruments. A significant source of estimation uncertainty is the fair value of the Company's unlisted investments, which are Level 2 unlisted companies, with inputs other than quoted prices. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Key inputs into the estimation of fair value of the Company's investments was observable arm's length transactional prices in the shares of the investee companies. However, in limited circumstances, cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value. That may be the case if insufficient more recent information is available to measure fair value, or if there is a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range.

· Note 17 - Impairment test of E&E assets. The amounts for intangible E&E assets represent active E&E projects. These amounts will be written off to the income statement as exploration costs unless commercial reserves are established or the determination process is not completed and there are indications of impairment in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. In assessing whether there should be a test of E&E assets for impairment, the Company will consider facts and circumstances including:

o the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;

o substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;

o exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area;

o sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the E&E asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

· Note 18 - Impairment test of property, plant and equipment assets. Their carrying value is checked by reference to the net present value of future cashflows which requires key assumptions and estimates in relation to commodity prices that are based on forward curves for a number of years and the long-term corporate economic assumptions thereafter, discount rates that are adjusted to reflect risks specific to individual assets, the quantum of commercial reserves and the associated production and cost profiles. Future development costs are estimated taking into account the level of development required to produce the reserves by reference to operators, where applicable, and internal engineers.

· Note 24 - Share based payment arrangements. The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of shares is determined by the share price, and the fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes model.

3. Significant accounting policies

The Group has consistently applied the following significant accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

(a) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Reabold Resources Plc and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2018. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where subsidiaries follow differing accounting policies from those of the Group, those accounting policies have been adjusted to align with those of the Group. Inter-company balances and transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, though foreign exchange differences arising on inter-company balances between subsidiaries with differing functional currencies are not offset.

(b) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange, adjusted for any conditions imposed on those shares. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

All identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

The Group's interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (OCI) of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from that of the Company are translated into sterling at the closing rate at the date of the statements of financial position, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate for the period and the difference is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

(ii) Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates at the reporting date. All differences that arise are recorded in net loss. Non-monetary assets measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the initial transactions.

(e) Revenue

Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Group for services provided, excluding sales taxes and trade discounts. Revenue is credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period it is deemed to be earned.

Revenue from the sale of oil and gas is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is considered to occur when title passes to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is physically transferred into a vessel, pipe or other delivery mechanism.

Revenue from the production of oil and gas, in which the Group has an interest with other producers, is recognised based on the Group's working interest and the terms of the relevant production sharing contracts. Differences between oil lifted and sold and the Group's share of production are not significant.

(f) Cost of sales

Production expenditure, crude treatment and processing expenditure, crude evacuation and lifting expenditure, depreciation, depletion and amortisation of oil and gas assets and crude handling expenditure are reported as costs of sales.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of consumable materials is determined using the weighted average method and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the stocks, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(h) Taxation

The tax charge represents the sum of current and deferred tax.

Current tax payable is based on taxable profits for the year. Taxable profits differ from net profits as reported in the income statement because it excludes items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are not taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current liabilities and when deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity where there is an intention to settle on a net basis.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability or the asset is realised.

(i) Oil & gas assets

(i) Licence acquisition costs

Licence acquisition costs are capitalised as intangible exploration and evaluation ("E&E") assets. These costs are reviewed on a continual basis by management to confirm that activity is planned and that the asset is not impaired. If no future activity is planned, the remaining balance of the licence and property acquisition costs is written off. Capitalised licence acquisition costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed directly as they are incurred.

(ii) Exploration expenditure

Exploration expenditure is expensed to the profit or loss statement as and when it is incurred and included as part of cash flows from operating activities.

(iii) Evaluation expenditure

Evaluation expenditure is capitalised to the Statement of Financial Position. All expenditure incurred during the appraisal phase is capitalized until the determination process has been completed or until such point as commercial reserves have been established. Evaluation is deemed to be activities undertaken from the beginning of the pre-feasibility study conducted to assess the technical and commercial viability of extracting a resource before moving into the Development phase. The criteria for carrying forward the costs are:

• Such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or

• evaluation activities in the area of interest which has not yet reached a state which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area are continuing.

Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest which is abandoned are written off in the year in which the abandonment decision is made.

(iv) Treatment of intangible E&E assets at conclusion of appraisal activities

Intangible E&E assets related to each cost pool are carried forward until the existence, or otherwise, of commercial reserves have been determined, subject to certain limitations including review for indications of impairment. If commercial reserves have been discovered, the carrying value, after any impairment loss, of the relevant E&E assets, are then reclassified as development and production assets within property plant and equipment. However, if commercial reserves have not been found, the capitalised costs are charged to expense.

Such reserves may be considered commercially producible if management has the intention of developing and producing them and such intention is based upon:

• a reasonable assessment of the future economics of such production;

• a reasonable expectation that there is a market for all or substantially all the expected hydrocarbon production;

• evidence that the necessary production, transmission and transportation facilities are available or can be made available; and

• the making of a final investment decision.

(v) Development and production assets

Development and production assets, classified within property, plant and equipment, are accumulated generally on a field-by-field basis and represent the costs of developing the commercial reserves discovered and bringing them into production, together with the E&E expenditures incurred in finding commercial reserves transferred from intangible E&E assets.

(vi) Depreciation of producing assets

The net book values of producing assets are depreciated generally on a field-by-field basis using the unit-of-production method by reference to the ratio of production in the year and the related commercial reserves of the field, taking into account the future development expenditure necessary to bring those reserves into production.

(vii) Disposals

Net cash proceeds from any disposal of an intangible E&E asset are initially credited against the previously capitalised costs. Any surplus proceeds are credited to the income statement.

(viii) Decommissioning

Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full when the related facilities are installed. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure. A corresponding amount equivalent to the provision is also recognised as part of the cost of the related oil and gas property. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital costs of the production facilities. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is dealt with prospectively as an adjustment to the provision and the oil and gas property. The unwinding of the discount is included in finance cost.

(i) Share based payments

The Company has an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Company. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

• Including any market performance conditions;

• Excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability or sales growth targets, or remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period; and

• Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

In addition, in some circumstances, employees may provide services in advance of the grant date, and therefore the grant-date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date.

At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.

(j) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company's statements of financial position when the Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 and contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets. The classification determines how the financial assets are categorised and measured in the financial statements and therefore is the foundation for its accounting. IFRS 9 contains four principal classification categories for financial assets:

• amortised cost;

• fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") with gains or losses recycled to profit or loss on derecognition;

• FVOCI with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition; and

• fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").

The following summarises the accounting policies in respect of financial instruments upon adoption of IFRS 9 by the Company:

Classification	Financial instrument	Description
Financial assets measured at amortised cost	Cash	Cash balances with banks
	Cash restricted	Restricted cash is denoted as restricted when it is not under the exclusive control of the Group.
	Cash held in trust	Cash balances held in trust for specified purposes - not available to fund normal operations
	Other receivables	Amounts receivable from third parties
	Loans receivable	Loans receivable and long-term receivables
Financial assets measured at FVTPL	Equity investments	Equities of publicly traded and private entities
Financial assets measured at FVOCI (with no recycling)	Equity investments	Equities of publicly traded and private entities
Financial liabilities	Accounts payable and accrued labilities	Amounts payable to suppliers and third parties

Under IFRS 9 the Company can classify, measure and account for its loans receivable and other receivables as amortised cost, FVOCI (with recycling) and FVTPL while equity investments can be classified as FVOCI (with no recycling) or FVTPL. The Company analyses each loan receivable, other receivables and equity investment on an individual basis. The analysis and classification is driven by the following criteria.

Classification	Criteria
Loans and receivables
Amortised cost	· Held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and;
	· Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at FVOCI (with recycling)	· Held within a business model in which assets are managed to achieve a particular objective by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and;
	· Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
FVTPL	· All loans receivable and investments in funds not measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI must be measured at FVTPL.

Classification	Criteria
Investments in equity instruments
FVTPL	· Investment acquired with the purpose of sale or,
	· Evidence of historical short-term profit making on similar instruments.
FVOCI (with no recycling)	· Investment made primarily for non-financial benefits such as strategic alliances and strategic investments.

After classification as amortised cost, FVTPL or FVOCI, the Company uses the following policy for initial measurement and subsequent measurement at each reporting period.

(k) Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and

non-financial assets and liabilities.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

• 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).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 13 - Investments available for sale

Note 24 - Share-based payment arrangements

Note 27 - Financial risk management and financial instruments

Unlisted Investments are therefore classified at level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when initially recognised.

(l) Capital and reserves

(i) Share capital

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(ii) Share premium

Representing the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue.

(iii) Capital redemption reserve

Where a company acquires its own shares out of free reserves, then a sum equivalent to the nominal value is transferred to a capital redemption reserve.

(iv) Share based payments reserve

Represents the value of equity benefits provided to employees and directors as part of their remuneration and provided to consultants and advisors hired by the Company from time to time as part of the consideration paid.

(v) Foreign currency translation reserve

Exchange differences arising on consolidating the assets and liabilities of the Group's subsidiaries are classified as equity and transferred to the Group's translation reserve.

(vi) Retained losses

Cumulative net gains and losses recognised in the financial statements.

(m) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(n) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group, or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

Contingent liabilities are only disclosed and not recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial position. If the likelihood of an outflow of resources is remote, the possible obligation is neither a provision nor a contingent liability and no disclosure is made.

(o) Capital commitments

Capital commitments include all projects for which specific board approval has been obtained up to the reporting date. Projects still under investigation for which specific board approvals have not yet been obtained are excluded.

(p) 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 ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share 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

share options granted to employees. Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to

ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations.

(q) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incurs

expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. The Group

defines geographical areas as operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8- Operating Segments.

4. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

Standards, amendments and interpretations adopted in the current financial year ended 31 December 2018

The adoption of the following mentioned standards, amendments and interpretations in the current year have not had a material impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements:

(i) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

The IASB have released IFRS 9 following completion of the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. The new standard introduces extensive changes to IAS 39's guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces a new 'expected credit loss' model for the impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 also provides new guidance on the application of hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and has been endorsed by the European Union.

Impact of transition to IFRS 9

Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the Company has not restated prior periods and therefore the comparative information for year ended 31 December 2017 is reported under IAS 39. The impact of the transition on both the Company and the Group is as follows:

	As at 31 December 2017				As at 1 January 2018
	IAS 39 classification	IAS 39 measurement	IAS 39 Carrying amount (£'000)	IFRS 9 classification & measurement	IFRS 9 Carrying amount (£'000)	Impact on opening deficit	Impact on opening OCI
Other receivables	Other receivables	Amortized cost	30	Amortised cost	30	-	-
Equity instruments	Available for Sale	FVOCI	550	FVTPL	550	-	-
Accounts payable and accruals	Financial liabilities	Amortized cost	86	Amortised cost	86	-	-
Transition impact						-	-

Pursuant to IFRS 9, the Company elected to classify the investments in equity instruments as fair value through P&L, as these investments were acquired for the purpose of sale, in line with the Company's investment strategy in respect to Business Stream 1.

(ii) IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 presents new requirements for the recognition of revenue, replacing IAS 18 'Revenue', IAS 11 'Construction Contracts', and several revenue-related interpretations. The new standard establishes a control-based revenue recognition model and provides additional guidance in many areas not covered in detail under existing IFRSs. These include how to account for arrangements with multiple performance obligations, variable pricing, customer refund rights, supplier repurchase options, and other common complexities. IFRS 15 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This standard has been endorsed by the European Union. There was no revenue reported in the Group or Company in the year ended 31 December 2017 and therefore this standard does not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Company.

Management anticipates that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in the Company's accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Company's financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

(i) IFRS 2 "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions"

On June 20, 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions.

As a practical simplification, the amendments can be applied prospectively. Retrospective, or early, application is permitted if information is available without the use of hindsight.

The amendments provide requirements relating to the accounting of:

• effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments;

• share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature concerning the legal obligation related to withholding tax obligations; and

• a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

The amendments to IFRS 2 are not yet effective for the Company.

(ii) IFRS 16 "Leases"

The IASB has published IFRS 16 'Leases', completing its long-running project on lease accounting. The new Standard, which is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, requires lessees to account for leases 'on-balance sheet' by recognising a 'right-of-use' asset and a lease liability. It will affect most companies that report under IFRS and are involving in leasing, and will have a substantial impact on the financial statements of lessees of property and high value equipment. This standard has been endorsed by the European Union. This standard is assessed as not having a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

5. Segment analysis

The Directors consider the Group to have two segments, being Business Stream 1 (which encompasses the European based investments in Corallian, Danube and Rathlin) and Business Stream 2 (which encompasses the Group's project in California, USA). The Business Stream 1 segment investments are currently predominantly in the appraisal phase, and the Business Stream 2 segment investment is in evaluation and production phase. Corporate costs relate to the administration and financing costs of the Company and are not directly attributable to the individual investments and projects. The Company's registered office is located in the United Kingdom.

During the year there were no employees (2017: nil) employed by the Company excluding the Directors. The staff costs during the year include the accrual of director fees in the amount of £4,000 (2017: £6,000) which were not paid during the reporting period.

9. Directors' remuneration

The emoluments paid to Directors during the year was as follows:

	Salary & fees	Share based Payments	Pension contribution	2018 Total	2017 Total
Directors	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000

	354	995	6	1,355	670

An accrual of £4,000 for director fees which were unpaid during the reporting period has been made.

The directors are the key management personnel of the Company.

As at 31 December 2018, no Director was accruing benefits under a money purchase scheme (2017: none).

The total options held by directors as at 31 December 2018 was 315,000,000. Sachin Oza and Stephen Williams each held 150,000,000 options and Anthony Samaha held 15,000,000 options. The options have a weighted average exercise price of 0.8p and a weighted average life of 3.0 years.

10. Taxation

	£'000	£'000

Loss before tax	(2,016)	(1,152)

Loss multiplied by standard rate of corporation tax in the UK	(383)	(221)

Total tax for the year	-	-

No deferred tax assets have been recognised in the year (2017: nil).

The corporation tax rate was 20.0% from 1 April 2014 to 1 April 2017 and 19.0% from 1 April 2017. Thus the corporation tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2018 is 19.0% (2017: 19.25%).

The Company has unused tax losses of £3.1 million and capital losses of £2.5 million. The deferred tax asset for these losses, amounting to £952,000 (2017: £808,000) has not been recognised as the timing of profits is uncertain.

11. Loss per share

The calculations of the basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the following data:	2018		2017
	£'000		£'000

Loss for the year	(1,949)		(1,152)
Loss for the purpose of basic earnings per share	(1,949)		(1,152)

	Number		Number
Number of shares:
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year	2,949,812,420		655,361,644

Loss per share:
Basic and diluted loss per share (pence)		(0.07)		(0.18)

As the Group is reporting a loss in each period in accordance with IAS33, the share options are not considered dilutive because the exercise of the share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share.

Post balance date, as per note 28, the Company issued 1,980,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company as consideration for an investment. This resulted in a non-material increase in the issued share capital of the Company.

12. Business combinations

On 4 July 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of:

(i) 100% of the issued share capital of Gaelic Resources Ltd ("Gaelic"), and its wholly owned US subsidiary Temporary Energy LLC ("Temporary"); and

(ii) loans to Temporary by the vendors of Gaelic in the amount of US$914,000 (£692,005) ("Vendor Loan").

The acquisition of Gaelic provided Reabold with options to participate in multiple near-term, high-impact, oil & gas leases in California, United States, and was considered by management to be consistent with the Reabold strategy, providing high-impact drilling opportunities with considerably de-risked wells with low drilling costs and a fast path to monetisation.

The total consideration for the acquisition of Gaelic and the Vendor Loan was together the issue of 420,000,000 new ordinary shares in Reabold (the "Share Consideration"), representing a value of £2,625,000 at the closing price of 0.625 pence per share, on 4 July 2018. As at 4 July 2018, Temporary had loans outstanding of US$1,314,000 (£994,852), including a loan from Reabold of US$400,000 (£302,845).

The fair value of the Vendor Loan acquired was assessed as £692,000, and the Share Consideration allocated as:

		Fair Value
		£'000
Allocation of Share Consideration
Acquisition of 100% of Gaelic		1,933
Acquisition of Vendor Loans of US$914,000		692
Total Share Consideration		2,625

The identifiable consolidated assets and liabilities of Gaelic were measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date of 4 July 2018.

Total	-	1,933	1,933

Consideration paid:
Allocated share consideration			1,933

Costs related to the acquisition of Gaelic in the amount of £74,091 were recognised as an expense in the reporting period.

Gaelic's consolidated revenue and profit for the period since acquisition date to 31 December 2018 was £193,527 and £10,137 respectively.

Had the acquisition occurred on 1 January 2018, the Group's consolidated revenue and profit for the year would not be materially different to that which has been reported.

The Group has tested the goodwill arising on acquisition and assessed no impairment is required as at 31 December 2018. For the 2018 reporting period, the recoverable amount was determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on management's estimate of production covering a five year period, based on current production levels and historical comparable well production profiles, management's estimate of long term price and net operating cash flows, and a pre-tax discount rate of 10%.

(a) Corallian

On 1 November 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into two share subscription agreements with Corallian to subscribe for 1,111,111 ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Corallian at £1.35 per share, representing 35.4% of the then to be enlarged share capital of Corallian for an aggregate subscription price of £1,500,000, as follows:

i) Reabold had entered into an unconditional share subscription agreement to subscribe for 370,370 ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Corallian at £1.35 per share ("Round 4") for an aggregate subscription amount of £500,000 which amount was payable immediately against transfer to Reabold of the Round 4 Shares. The Round 4 Shares represented 11.8% of the then to be enlarged share capital of Corallian.

ii) Reabold had entered into a conditional share subscription agreement to subscribe for 740,741 ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Corallian at £1.35 per share ("Round 4A") for an aggregate subscription amount of £1,000,000, representing 23.6% of the then to be enlarged share capital of Corallian and which subscription was conditional upon the joint venture partners in licence P1918 in respect of the Colter appraisal project approving an authorisation for expenditure for the drilling of the Colter well prior to 30 April 2018, failing which Reabold's obligation to subscribe for the Round 4A Shares would terminate. On issue of the Round 4A Shares to Reabold, and for so long as Reabold holds more than 30% of the issued share capital of Corallian, Reabold has the right to appoint a director to the board of directors of Corallian.

On 1 March 2018, the Company announced that it had signed two further subscription agreements with Corallian. The first agreement ("Round 5") was an unconditional subscription for 333,333 new Corallian shares at £1.50 per share for an investment of £500,000, which was completed in February 2018, giving Reabold an interest of 25.7% of the issued capital of Corallian at that time. The second agreement ("Round 5A") gave Reabold the option to subscribe for an additional 333,333 new Corallian shares at a price of £1.50 per share for an investment of £500,000 at any point up to 6 April 2018. On 3 April 2018, the Company completed the Round 5A agreement,

At the point of the completion of the Round 5 subscription, Reabold's prior Round 4 investment in Corallian of 370,370 shares was assessed as having a fair value of £1.50 per share, giving a value of £555,555 and resulting in an increase in fair value through P&L of £55,555 during the reporting period. The Round 4 Shares in the value of £555,555 was reallocated from Investments Available for Sale to Investments in Associates, given Reabold's significant influence in Corallian had been secured.

(b) Mogul

In June 2015, the Company acquired a 1.2% interest in Mogul Ventures Corp ("Mogul") a private company focused on natural resources in Mongolia, principally tin, at a cost of £200,000. In the year ended 31 December 2017, the value of the Company's holding in Mogul was impaired by £150,000 to a carrying value of £50,000. It is noted that, in the opinion of the Directors, the fair value of the Company's investment in Mogul is challenging to reliably measure given the relatively early stage of development of the entity, and the limited availability of financial and technical information. In view of Reabold's interest in Mogul being a surplus, non-material asset, as at 1 January 2018, the Company's interest in Mogul was written down to nil (2017: £50,000), resulting in a revaluation decrease through P&L of £50,000 during the reporting period.

On 19 April 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to buy an initial interest in the advanced San Jose Lithium-Tin Project in Spain ("the San Jose Project") for a consideration of AUD$0.5 million (approx. £0.3 million). The San Jose Project is a Joint Venture between Plymouth Minerals Limited's ("Plymouth" ASX:PLH) subsidiary, Tonsley Mining Pty Limited ("Tonsley") and Sacyr, S.A, the IBEX 35 Spanish listed multinational infrastructures and services company. This investment was in line with Reabold's strategy to identify strategic mineral opportunities with the potential to add significant shareholder value.

On 19 April 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire an initial interest of approximately 2.0% in Tonsley Mining Pty Limited ("Tonsley") for a consideration of AUD$0.5 million (approx. £0.3 million). Tonsley owns rights to earn up to 75% of the San Jose lithium project in Spain. Tonsley has the right to earn a 75% interest in the San Jose Project by spending EUR1.5 million for a first stage 50%, then €2.5 million for the additional 25%. After an agreed amount of time between the Parties or in the event no interest is earned by Tonsley (or its subsidiary) in the San Jose Project, there was an agreed contractual mechanism (by way of options) for the AUD$0.5 million funds to be returned to the Company. On 17 July 2017, the Company announced that it had delivered to Plymouth a Notice of Exercise of Put Option in respect of Reabold's interest in Tonsley, whereby Reabold would transfer back to Plymouth its shares in Tonsley in consideration of receipt of AUD$0.5 million (approx. £0.3 million), payable on 18 July 2017. Whilst the Tonsley investment represented an interesting opportunity for Reabold, it was decided that this would not form a long term asset for Reabold and therefore that Reabold should exercise its put option and redeploy the money on other investments.

(a) Corallian

As outlined in Note 13 above, at the point of the completion of the Round 5, Reabold's prior Round 4 investment in Corallian of 370,370 shares was assessed as having a fair value of £1.50 per share, giving a value of £555,555 and resulting in a revaluation increase of £55,555 during the reporting period. The Round 4 investment in the value of £555,555 was reallocated from Investments Available for Sale to Investments in Associates, given Reabold's significant influence in Corallian had been secured. Following the completion of the Round 5 subscription in February 2018 in the amount of £500,000 for 333,333 new Corallian shares at £1.50 per share, the value of Reabold's total investment in Corallian at that time was £1,055,554, representing a 25.7% interest.

On 3 April 2018, the Company completed the Round 5A agreement, which gave Reabold the option to subscribe for an additional 333,333 new Corallian shares at a price of £1.50 per share for an investment of £500,000 at any point up to 6 April 2018.

As at 30 April 2018, no authorisation for expenditure for the drilling of the Colter well had been approved, as required under the Round 4A subscription. Subsequently, on 25 May 2018, Reabold advised Corallian that it had waived the condition for the Round 4A subscription and proceeded to complete the Round 4A subscription on 28 May 2018 for 740,741 shares at £1.35 per share, for an investment of £1,000,000, giving the Company an interest of 32.9% in the enlarged issued share capital of Corallian.

On 11 December 2018, the Company announced that Corallian had raised £912,300 by way of an advanced subscription agreement, with Reabold participating in this fund raise with an investment of £300,000, maintaining its 32.9% interest. The additional shares to be issued under the advanced subscription agreement are priced at the higher of either a 30% discount to the price achieved in the next Corallian funding round, or at £1.50 per share (in line with the price per share at the last fund raise) if no funding round has occurred within 12 months.

As at 31 December 2018, the Company's interest in Corallian was 32.9%, with a carrying value of £2,855,555.

During the period ended 31 December 2018, the Company's share of Corallian's total comprehensive loss amounted to £104,000.

(b) Danube

On 4 December 2017, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement with Danube, a newly incorporated subsidiary of ASX listed, ADX Energy Ltd, to invest a total of £1.5 million for a 29% interest in Danube. The investment was conditional on completion of a transaction between Danube and ADX Energy Ltd, by 28 February 2018, which would result in Danube holding a 50% interest in the Parta licence in Romania, and a 100% interest in a low-risk appraisal campaign within Parta. The investment comprised an initial 375,940 new shares to be issued upon completion of the transaction at £1.00 per share. This would be followed by a further 1,127,819 new shares to be issued upon submission of an Authorisation for Expenditure ("AFE") for the first appraisal well at £1.00 per share. On 19 February 2018, the Company agreed to extend the date for completion of the transaction to 31 March 2018, with completion of the initial investment by the Company of £375,940 taking place on 23 March 2018.

On 24 September 2018, the Company announced the AFE had been submitted and that the Company had completed the second tranche of Reabold's investment in Danube in the amount of £1,127,819, giving the Company a 28.6% interest in Danube.

On 3 December 2018, the Company announced that it had exercised options to subscribe for 375,940 shares in Danube at £1.00 per share for a total of £375,940, pursuant to the subscription agreement between the Company and Danube dated 1 December 2017.

As at 31 December 2018, Reabold held a 33.3% interest in Danube, with a carrying value of £1,879,700. Following this investment, Reabold holds a 33.3% interest in the issued capital of Danube.

During the period ended 31 December 2018, the Company's share of Danube's total comprehensive loss amounted to £28,000.

On 3 December 2018, the Company announced the completion of a 37.08% investment in Rathlin for the consideration of £3,000,000 in cash. Rathlin is a subsidiary of Calgary-based Connaught. Completion of the deal was conditional on, inter alia, Connaught agreeing to settle a liability of £33.8 million owed to it by Rathlin and the finalisation of a farm out, by Rathlin, of Licence PEDL183 (onshore UK) to Union Jack Oil plc and Humber Oil & Gas Ltd resulting in Rathlin retaining a 66.67% equity interest in Licence PEDL183.

During the period ended 31 December 2018, the Company's share of Rathlin's total comprehensive loss amounted to £33,000.

27. Financial risk management and financial instruments

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its issue of financial instruments:

· credit risk

· liquidity risk

· market risk

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. Given the size of the Company, the Directors have not delegated the responsibility of monitoring financial risk management to a sub-committee of the Board.

The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group charges partners and third parties for the provision of services and for the sale of oil and gas. Should the companies holding those accounts become insolvent then these funds may be lost or delayed in their release. Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. In respect of the Group's trade sales, the Group manages credit risk through dealing only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

Credit risk relating to the Group's other financial assets which comprise principally cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash arises from the potential default of counterparties. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are reputable banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, which at the reporting date was:

	Group	Group	Company	Company
	2018	2017	2018	2017
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
Cash and bank balances	7,112	5,307	6,147	5,307
Trade and other receivables	425	30	145	30
Restricted cash	176	-	-	-
Loan to subsidiary	-	-	3,692	-

The expected credit risk for both the Group and the Company was assessed as not material.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, and excluding the impact of netting agreement:

		Group	Group	Group
	Notes	Carrying amount	Contractual cash flows	6 months or less

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The Group manages market risks by monitoring market developments and discussing issues regularly, and mitigating actions taken where necessary.

Foreign currency risk

The Group's functional currency is Sterling and as such the Group is exposed to foreign exchange movements on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. In addition, the Group's subsidiary, Temporary, has a functional currency of USD, exposing the Group to foreign exchange differences, which are taken to reserves. Currently there are no foreign exchange hedge programmes in place. However, the Group treasury function manages the purchase of foreign currency to meet operational requirements.

The Group is mainly exposed to currency rate fluctuations of Sterling versus the USD, and measures its foreign currency risk through a sensitivity analysis considering 10% favourable and adverse changes in market rates on exposed monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Sterling.

As at 31 December 2018, the exposure of the Group to foreign exchange rates is summarised as follows:

	Group	Group	Company	Company
	2018	2017	2018	2017
Exposure to USD	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
Cash and bank balances	966	-	-	-
Restricted cash	176	-	-	-
Trade and other receivables	304	-	23	-

Trade and other payables	(394)	-	-	-
Accruals	(51)	-	-	-
	1,000	-	3,715	-

As at 31 December 2018, if Sterling had gained or lost 10% against the USD, the impact on comprehensive loss would have been as follows:

	Group	Group	Company	Company
	2018	2017	2018	2017
Impact on comprehensive loss	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000
+10% GBP/USD	(100)	-	(372)	-
-10% GBP/USD	100	-	372	-

Price risk

Price risk arises from uncertainty about the future prices of financial instruments held within the Group's portfolio. It represents the potential loss that the Group might suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. The investments in equity stocks of unlisted companies are not traded and as such the prices are more uncertain than those of more widely traded securities. The Board's strategy in managing the market price risk inherent in the Group's portfolio of equity investments is determined by the requirement to meet the Group's investment objective. The Directors manage these risks by regular reviews of the portfolio within the context of current market conditions. Unlisted investments are valued as per accounting policy in these financial statements.

Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to changes in interest rate risk relates primarily to interest-earning financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities. Interest rate risk is managed by the Group on an ongoing basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to which net interest expense could be affected by an adverse movement in interest rates.

Capital risk management

The Directors consider the Group's capital to comprise of share capital and reserves stated on the statement of financial position. The Group manages its capital to ensure the Group will be able to continue on a going concern on a long term basis while ensuring the optimal return to shareholders and other stakeholders through an effective debt and equity balance. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes during the current or previous year.

The share capital, including share premium, and reserves totalling £19,313,000 (2017: £5,732,000) provides the majority of the working capital required by the Group. Management reviews the capital structure and makes adjustment to it in the light of changes in economic conditions.

Other financial assets and liabilities

The notional amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year (including trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables) are assumed to approximate their fair value.
