Interim Results

 

San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, today announces its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

Highlights:

 

Operational

·     Announced a gas discovery at the Rawicz-12 well; expected to be the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years.

·     The Rawicz gas field contains over 50 Bcf of 2P reserves according to a Competent Persons Report by Ryder Scott Company for Palomar Natural Resources, the operator.

·     Results of oil shale bench testing at the Timahdit oil shale licence proved the Enefit process to be applicable to the Company's acreage, and are being used to assess the efficiency of the Chevron Lummus upgrading technology on the shale oil.

·     Post reporting period, the Laayoune-4 well on the Tarfaya conventional licence, onshore Morocco, was drilled and suspended with gas shows, pending further seismic work; and

·     Initiated asset optimisation and cost reduction strategy, resulting in relinquishing certain non-core Polish licences.

 

Corporate

·     Announced £29 million (gross) fundraising, through a placing of new ordinary shares, together with a share capital reorganisation.  Completion occurred in July 2015.

·     Cost reduction remains a priority for the Company and its Board.  With effect from 1 January 2015, Oisin Fanning, Executive Chairman, has drawn only 20% of his salary in cash with the balance accruing in San Leon shares.

·     In July 2015 Jeremy Boak, Non-Executive Director of the Company, accepted a position at The University of Oklahoma, and therefore resigned from the Board.

 

Financial

·     Loss for the period was €8.26m (2014: loss of £6.77m).

·     Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2015 of €0.75m (30 June 2014: €14.58m).

·     Equity placing to raise £29 million (gross), completed after the reporting period, together with a share capital reorganisation.

 

On 24 August 2015 the Company confirmed that it had received an approach from a possible offeror, that may or may not lead to an offer being made for San Leon.  There can be no certainty that an offer will be made or as to the terms on which any offer might be made. As a result, the Board has decided not to make any forward-looking statements.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

 

1.         Basis of preparation and accounting policies

 

The Group interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. The interim financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on 25 September 2015.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements do not constitute statutory financial statements and therefore do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2014 which are available on the Group's website www.sanleonenergy.com.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro ("€").

 

 

2.         Loss on disposal of subsidiaries

 

In September 2013 the Company signed a Binding Heads of Agreement in respect of the sale of Island Oil & Gas Limited, a subsidiary of the company to Ardilaun Energy Limited ("Ardilaun"). Under the terms of the sale, Ardilaun agreed to pay San Leon Energy US$3 million, with €738,716 (US$1 million) payable immediately and the balance of US$2 million payable within twelve months of the completion of the sale. Ardilaun has also agreed to issue to San Leon Energy, shares equivalent to 15 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital of Ardilaun post-completion of the sale and prior to its intended listing on an international exchange.

 

Prior to their reclassification as assets held for sale in 2013 the exploration and evaluation assets were impaired by €3.6 million. The impairment was determined by management by comparing the carrying value of the net assets to the proposed consideration in the transaction. The fair value of the 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of Ardilaun was based on a recent market transaction.

 

In the year ended 31 December 2014, the sale to Ardilaun completed and the Group recognised a loss on disposal of €6,429,007. The loss primarily related to the Group's contribution to the decommissioning liability associated with the exploration and evaluation assets disposed of.

The Directors have considered the licence, exploration and appraisal costs capitalised in respect of its exploration and evaluation assets, which are carried at historical cost. Those assets have been assessed for impairment and in particular with regard to remaining licence terms, likelihood of licence renewal, likelihood of further expenditures and on-going appraisals for each year. The directors are satisfied that there are no current indications of impairment, but recognise that the future realisation of these exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on future successful exploration and appraisal activities and the subsequent economic production of oil and gas reserves.

(i)            Barryroe - 4.5% net profit interest

 

In December 2011, San Leon Energy assigned its 30% working interest in Standard Exploration Licence 1/11 ("Licence" or "Barryroe") in the Celtic Sea, Ireland to Providence Resources Plc ("Providence") in exchange for a 4.5% Net profit interest ("NPI") in the full field. Under the terms of the arrangement, San Leon Energy will not pay any further appraisal or development costs on the Licence. The Directors have estimated the fair value of this NPI by reference to a third party evaluation report of contingent resources and cash flows prepared by Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI) in July 2013 for Providence.

 

NSAI reported that the Basal Wealden oil reservoir has an estimated 2C in-place gross on-block volume of 761 MMBO with recoverable resources of 261 MMBO and 187 BCF of associated gas, based on a 35% oil recovery factor. In July 2013, NSAI also provided an estimate of the cash flows attributable to Providence's net interest from the Basal Wealden oil reservoir only. It estimated Providence's net present value at USD 2.63 billion in the 2C case (estimated recoverable resources of 266 MMBO and 187 BCF of associated gas) at a 10% discount rate.

 

Further details are available on the Providence website. Further information has also been made available by Providence and other sources regarding a revised development plan or development costs which are key inputs into the valuation model.

 

As San Leon is not the operator of this licence, the Group does not have the ability to commission an independent technical evaluation of the licence area. Therefore, the directors believe that the NSAI report, when coupled with other information released by Providence and adapted for certain changes in the market, gives the basis for the best estimate of fair value at year end.

 

The fair value movement relates to currency adjustments.

 

(ii)           Amedeo Resources plc

 

In 2014, the Company purchased 71,225,000 ordinary shares in Amedeo Resources plc, a company listed on

the Alternative Investment Market in London, for a total consideration of €1,329,349. The market value of the shares at 30 June 2015 was €325,388.

 

(iii)          Ardilaun Energy Limited

 

As part of the consideration for the sale of Island Oil & Gas Limited to Ardilaun Energy Limited ("Ardilaun"). Ardilaun agreed to issue shares equivalent to 15% of the issued share capital of Ardilaun.

Certain Realm Energy International Corporation shareholders exercised rights of dissent under Canadian law not to accept the terms of acquisition. Under Canadian law, these dissenting shareholders are eligible to receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of their shareholding at acquisition. The provision represents the directors' estimate of the cash consideration to be paid to those shareholders taking account of the market price of the Realm shares at acquisition.
