The Board notes the UK government's policy for self sufficiency in energy and
that it is looking increasingly to shale gas to displace imported gas. The
Board is firmly of the view that tremendous opportunities exist in this area
and consequently intends focusing the bulk of its investing activities in
on-shore UK oil and gas opportunities. Target investments will include a
variety of investing and acquisition activities in private companies which hold
interests in petroleum exploration development licences ("PEDLS"). The Company
will seek to co-invest with such companies in exchange for an economic
interest. As noted above, such co-investments include the provision of
financing by way of farm-ins, earn-ins, loans, equity and other forms of
financing and investments. As it is highly likely that UK gas prices will
reduce if large scale onshore gas production is successful, the Company will
also consider investments in associated infrastructure that may include
electrical generation from gas. Electricity prices are expected to rise due to
a shortage of generating capacity in the UK caused by high emission stations
closing in 2015. As new nuclear stations will take time to bring online, a
viable short term solution would be modular gas fired generating stations that
can be built quickly. Investments in such infrastructure will support the
investment strategy as, in the face of falling gas prices, onshore producers
are likely to be in a competitive position vis a vis imports and offshore gas
producers.

The Board expects that such investments might typically represent in excess of
80% of the Company's portfolio at times and in certain circumstances may be
represented by a single investment. The Board recognises the inherent risks of
such investments but believes that these offer Shareholders significant upside
potential.

In order to offset some of the risk as well as to provide the Company with
access to working capital, the Board intends investing part of its portfolio in
large, stable diversified quoted oil and gas and commodities companies.
Shareholders should be aware however, that such investments may only represent
a small portion of the Company's portfolio at any point in time.

It is expected that returns to Shareholders would be initially in the form of
capital appreciation but the Directors will consider the payment of dividends
if and when the Company has sufficient cash resources and distributable
reserves.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The principal activity of the Company during the year under review was to make
investments and acquisitions, either through the issues of securities or for
cash, in quoted and non-quoted companies and their securities, in the

a press piece statement from Gerwyn Williams:



AN “enormous̶1; amount of gas exists below ground in South Wales, according to an energy company chairman keen to explore its potential.

Gerwyn Williams, chairman of UK Onshore Gas Limited, whose subsidiary companies Methane UK Ltd and Coastal Oil and Gas Ltd hold licences to explore South Wales, has test drilled for gas in Banwen, Port Talbot and has permission to do so near Cwmavon and at the RSPCA Llys Nini centre near Penllergaer.

He told MPs on the Welsh Affairs Select Committee last November: “There is an enormous amount of gas in South Wales and I've spent my life in the mining industry - 22 years for British Coal and then in private mines, and they've virtually all gone.

“But the energy source is still there and in my view we should be exploiting it.”

Mr Williams also gave evidence to Assembly members in March last year.

He said: “There have been problems with shale gas in the USA: there is no denying that. The difference between the UK and the US is that there are different sets of legislation. We are far better governed in the UK than the industry in the USA is.”

He added: “As far as the economics of the industry is concerned, we believe that, because of the work we have done so far, we can extract the gas economically and it would be of huge benefit for Wales in kick-starting the economy and providing jobs.”

fracking methods have moved on there too.



NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Last summer a Halliburton executive did the unthinkable: He took a big ol' swig of hydraulic fracturing fluid.
No, he didn't have a death wish. And yes, he appears to be doing just fine. He did it to prove a point: fracking fluid need not be toxic.
What the exec drank was a new formulation of fracking fluid made with ingredients sourced from the food industry rather than the chemical industry.
As public concern over the controversial practice of fracking mounts, Halliburton and a host of other companies are racing to fill a major void: finding a way of cracking rock to unlock oil and natural gas that is also environmentally benign.
There are still a host of concerns surrounding fracking that aren't addressed by changing the fluid or purifying the water. But as more firms bring innovative technologies to market, chances grow that this technology might someday be embraced by the general public.
Fracking fluid from the food industry: Halliburton announced its new fracking formulation earlier this year to relatively little fanfare.
Traditional fracking fluids rely of hydrochloric acids and other chemicals that allow the industry to crack shale rock. The technology has unleashed a boom in domestic energy production, but it's also raised concerns over water contamination.
Halliburton's new fracking formula and methods "don't quite call for the downhole delivery of fruits and vegetables," the company's web site reads. "But it does rely on some of the same acids and enzymes present in those items to create one of the most innovative and environmentally safe fracture solutions ever conceived."

[induna123] 30/5/2015 18:27

The truth about fracking. Wasting a precious resource like fresh water to extract gas is criminal. nevermind the pollution to the atmosphere and water table. Imagine what the people in the future will think of us as water becomes even more scarce. Will our children and grandchilden thank us for allowing such a stupid thing like fracking to happen?

The fully-diluted market cap. here could be more than double that shown, because of £300K. of previous convertible loan notes (i.e. prior to the new facility), with no minimum conversion price:

20/08/2014 12:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Global Brands S.A. Half-yearly Report

" ... 7. Convertible Loan

On 6 February 2014, Global Brands also announced that it had secured a
convertible loan facility for up to GBP300,000 from Mr Williams. As at 30 June
2014, Mr Williams had provided the Company with GBP80,000 in funds under the
facility.

On 23 July 2014, the Company announced that the terms of the facility had been
modified and funds drawn down under the facility will no longer be used to
cover the due diligence and other costs associated with the acquisition of UKOG
but will instead be used for working capital and investment purposes in
accordance with the Company's investing policy. The Company has drawn down a
further GBP220,000 to the Company under the facility.

The key terms of the loan facility are as follows:

* the total facility is GBP300,000;

* GBP80,000 has previously been drawn down to support the Company's working
capital requirements;

* A further GBP220,000 has been drawn down by the Company for working capital
and investment purposes;

* The drawn down loan amount bears interest at rate of 6% per annum;

* The outstanding loan amount shall be held on a loan account. Mr Williams
may at any time elect that the Outstanding Loan Amount (in whole or in
part) be converted into shares in the Company at the lower of:

*
+ a price of GBP0.003 per share; or

+ a price equating to a 10% discount on the market price at the date of
conversion. ..."
