Wildcat Petroleum Plc

("Wildcat" or the "Company")

Interim results for the period from incorporation to 31 December 2020

Wildcat Petroleum plc (LSE: WCAT), which is targeting investment opportunities in businesses and assets within the upstream sector of the petroleum industry and exploring the implementation of blockchain technology within the sector, announces its interim results for the period from incorporation on 8 January 2020, to 31 December 2020.

Results for the period

For the first period from incorporation date of 8 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, the results include the on-going running costs in connection with being a listed company as well as advisor fees. In January, the company appointed Pello as company broker who will provide assistance in any future fundraising required for a future deal.

Since the company is considering the use of Blockchain technology within the petroleum sector, advisors were appointed with expertise in this area. The Centre for Citizenship, Enterprise & Governance ("CCEG") was appointed as main Blockchain advisor. In March CCEG produced a report on the ways in which WCAT could implement Blockchain technology. Also, during this period specialist Blockchain lawyers at Gunnercooke were retained.  On the advice from the CCEG application were made to trademark certain names in order to prevent cyber-squatting. The company awaits the results of these applications. Memorandums of Understanding have been entered into with Crown Energy AB and Nabirm Global LLC in respect of the potential tokenisation of oil assets controlled by them. 

In respect to the main petroleum side of the operation, progress has been made in potentially sourcing an oil asset which the directors expect will make WCAT a profitable oil producing company. The company will make further announcements in due course.

Risks and uncertainties

The Company is a relatively new entity, with only a brief operating history, and therefore, investors have no basis on which to evaluate the Company's ability to achieve its objective of identifying, acquiring and operating one or more companies or businesses.

Going Concern

As stated in the notes to the condensed financial statements, the directors are satisfied that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report

a.  the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting';

b.  the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R (indication of important events and description of principal risks and uncertainties); and,

c.  the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related parties' transactions and changes therein).

Cautionary statement
