Nordic Oil and Gas Announces 2013 Q2 and Six Month Financial Results

WINNIPEG, MB. (AUGUST 29, 2013) -- Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd. (TSXV: NOG), today announced the Company's financial results from operations for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars.

Financial Results

Revenue from oil and natural gas sales (including liquids and transport revenue) during the second quarter of 2013 totaled $90,063. Although up from the Q1 2013 total of $70,268, this year's second quarter total is down from the $205,552 reported during the second quarter of 2012.

On a year-to-date basis, production revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $160,331, as opposed to $522,923 for the same period in 2012.

The primary reason for the decrease in revenue for the quarter and the year to date is the fact that production from the Company's 11-13 well has been negligible as a result of damage to the formation caused by the regulators when they began the abandonment of the well.

"This well was the focus of the settlement that was reached with a large Canadian company and the fact that the formation has been damaged has resulted in a significant loss of anticipated revenue for us," Mr. Benson stated. "The Company is currently weighing its legal alternatives in regard to this matter."

Nordic had anticipated production from this well of a minimum of 500 MCF/day, which would have resulted in additional gross revenue of $135,000 for the quarter. When testing after the well was drilled, indications suggested that the well had the capability of producing as much as 1,000 MCF/day of gas.

Total assets, including cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, property and equipment and other assets (deposits), for the period ended June 30, 2013 were $10,666,028, down slightly from the December 31, 2012 total of $10,750,594. The primary reason for the marginal decrease in assets was the decrease in pre-paid expenses and deposits to $29,821 as opposed to $94,611 in 2012.

The net comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 before income taxes was ($194,346), compared to a loss of ($275,835) recorded during the same period a year ago. When applying deferred taxes, the second quarter loss was ($152,134), as opposed to ($225,755) for the second quarter of 2012.

Year-to-date, the net comprehensive loss before taxes was ($385,684) an improvement of approximately $30,000 over the net loss of ($417,160) for the first six months of 2012.When applying deferred taxes, the year to date loss for 2013 was ($293,850), an improvement of approximately $70,000 over the net loss of ($363,602) for the first half of 2012.

The improvement in the Q2 2013 loss and the year-to-date loss can be attributed to substantial reductions in the Company's production and operating expenses
