Andalas Energy and Power Plc 
 
                         ('Andalas' or the 'Company') 
 
                                Interim Results 
 
Andalas Energy and Power Plc, the AIM listed Indonesian focused upstream oil 
and gas and power company (AIM: ADL), is pleased to announce its half-yearly 
report for the six months ended 31 October 2016. 
 
Highlights: 
 
  * Readmission to AIM to focus on upstream oil, gas and power opportunities in 
    Indonesia 
  * Milestone cooperation agreement with Pertamina, Indonesia's national energy 
    company, provides Andalas with the opportunity to fast track our strategy 
    to transform into a significant power producer 
  * Initial target of 250-500MW of installed capacity on five initial fields 
    located close to infrastructure and markets 
  * Submission of first gas to power project of 2 x 30MW to be included in the 
    Republic of Indonesia's Electricity Supply Business Plan ('RUPTL') 
  * Discussions ongoing with equipment vendors, industry participants and 
    finance specialists with regards funding options 
  * Appointment of Dr Robert Arnott as Non-Executive Director to complement 
    proven board and management team 
 
Andalas Chairman, Paul Warwick, said: "The signing of the cooperation agreement 
with Pertamina during the period provides third party validation of the high 
standing of Andalas' management team within Indonesia's energy sector.  Working 
closely with Pertamina, already much progress has been made and post period end 
we submitted our first 2 x 30MW gas to power project for inclusion in the 
RUPTL.  Approval not only opens up multiple funding options for the development 
of the first project, but will also prove the model we have adopted to become a 
leading Indonesian focused energy company via the roll-out of an initial 
portfolio of 250-500MW of installed capacity." 
 
The Interim Report will be available from the Company's website 
www.andalasenergy.co.uk shortly. 
 
Chairman's Statement 
 
Andalas Energy and Power's objective is to become a leading Indonesian focused 
energy company and since our readmission onto AIM in May 2016, we have advanced 
a strategy through which to achieve this.  This strategy is based on four 
pillars: Market; Opportunity; Relationships; and Economics. 
 
Market 
 
Indonesia is the right focus for Andalas.  Despite being the seventh largest 
producer of LNG in the world and the 28th in terms of oil production, there is 
an electricity crisis in Indonesia due to a relatively low electrification rate 
which, as recently as 2013, stood at 81%.  This translates into as much as 60 
million people in the country not having access to electricity.  Such low rates 
of electrification and frequent power outages are widely believed to have held 
back the country's economic growth in the past.  In response, the Government of 
Indonesia has set itself the target to add 35,000MW of new power generating 
capacity by 2019, a 60% increase in total domestic power generation capacity. 
A major hydrocarbon producer, an electricity crisis and a government with the 
appetite to do something about it, translates into a highly attractive 
opportunity for a management team with a highly specialised skillset and an 
in-depth knowledge of the country. 
 
Opportunity 
 
We intend to capitalise on these favourable market dynamics by developing a 
portfolio of at least five small (i.e. up to 100 MW) independent power producer 
projects ('IPPs') that are fired with gas supplied from proven but undeveloped 
gas fields.  We have set ourselves an initial target of 250-500MW of installed 
capacity and since the Company's readmission onto AIM in May 2016, a number of 
milestones that are key to achieving this goal have been met. 
 
Having a strategy that is deliverable is paramount.  For a company of Andalas' 
current size minimising both risk and the time to first cash flows are key to 
protecting shareholders' interests.  From the outset we adopted a business 
model which does not require Andalas to take on board undue levels of risk.  We 
set out to avoid activities such as exploring for commercial quantities of oil 
and/or gas or having to rely on untested technologies.  Instead our focus is on 
already discovered gas fields which can be monetised using proven technology. 
 
Relationships 
 
Andalas' management team has an unrivalled track record in Indonesia's energy 
sector and the ability to deliver.  The management team have direct experience 
in the country with more than 25 years helping shape Indonesia's gas industry 
having led the development of a number of pivotal gas field and infrastructure 
projects.  Among these was one of the most important value creation projects 
for Pertamina where our CEO, David Whitby, acted as lead negotiator for 
Pertamina in unitisation negotiations for the Suban gas field, which resulted 
in a multiple billion dollar return to Pertamina. 
 
Building on this already pre-eminent team of people, during the period we 
further strengthened the Board with the appointment of Dr Robert Arnott as 
Non-Executive Director.  With 30 years' experience in the oil and gas industry 
which has seen him successfully execute a number of high profile transactions, 
the Board believes Dr Arnott will continue to be highly instrumental in the 
Company's development going forward. 
 
Having access to a suitable inventory of assets is crucial and with this in 
mind in September 2016, Andalas signed a cooperation agreement with Pertamina, 
a member of the Global Fortune 500 list of most valuable companies, which 
promises to bring scale to a strategy that is already designed to be fast 
tracked.  As the national energy company, Pertamina not only plays a pivotal 
role in the country's vast oil and gas sector, but it also has an extensive 
inventory of discovered gas fields.  It is easy to see why we believe Pertamina 
is the right partner for Andalas, of the 139 undeveloped gas fields that our 
screening identified in our target region, Pertamina is the licence holder for 
52 fields, which together represent a significant portfolio of potential gas 
supply to feed gas-to-power generation.  Our cooperation with Pertamina is 
therefore designed to give us access to an extensive portfolio of discovered 
gas assets in our target region, which allows us to propose projects from those 
gas fields that fully match our criteria for gas to power: near pipeline 
quality gas resources that can sustain an IPP for 10-15 years; and which is 
close to markets and infrastructure. 
 
Delivering on our strategy will help make a significant contribution to solving 
Indonesia's power crisis at the local level, but equally important for 
Pertamina is that our concept provides a valuable route to market for its gas 
projects.   Aggregating the gas required to feed our target of 500MW of IPP 
projects would result in the monetisation of a significant amount of gas, our 
estimates are that these projects would need to purchase circa 100million 
standard cubic feet of gas per day or 16,666BOEPD. 
 
In line with the terms of the agreement, Andalas and Pertamina have been 
working together to identify a minimum of five undeveloped gas fields in the 
Sumatran provinces of Riau, Jambi and South Sumatra; and we have been preparing 
development and commercialisation plans for each identified field.    Despite 
only signing the agreement in September 2016, excellent progress has already 
been made.  A first project has not only been identified but after passing 
vigorous technical and commercial scrutiny, in December 2016 an application was 
submitted for its inclusion in the Republic of Indonesia's Electricity Supply 
Business Plan ('RUPTL').   We are currently working to obtain the required 
approval after which our first project will be presented to the Energy Minister 
for final sign-off.  Once a project has been approved, exclusive joint 
development agreements to design, construct, fund and operate the project will 
be put in place. 
 
Economics 
 
Inclusion of our first project in the RUPTL will continue the rapid progress we 
have made since our readmission to AIM in May 2016.  A desktop study performed 
by the Company highlights the potential returns of our IPP strategy.  A 25MW 
IPP is expected to generate, at the project level, approximately US$57 million 
of gross free cash flow over a 15 year project life. 
 
However, whilst the investment that Andalas has made to date would be justified 
by the origination of just one 2 x 30MW project alone, it is not our intention 
to stop there.  The work completed by Andalas in 2016 has set a platform from 
which to scale the business, we have set a near term target of 5 projects with 
a total of 250-500MW, which we believe is eminently achievable, and as the 
economics above demonstrate would create a very significant business that would 
still have an enormous opportunity to continue to grow. 
 
The value inherent in originating projects becomes increasingly tangible as we 
receive each government approval and progress the gas sales contract and the 
power purchase agreement negotiations.  It is the value inherent in these 
projects that Andalas intends to use; by selling equity in the projects to 
third parties, Andalas expects to strengthen the consortium to supply, build, 
operate and maintain the projects.  In addition, the sale of equity interests 
in a project is expected to contribute towards the capital that Andalas would 
be required to invest to bring it into production. 
 
Indonesian electrification is perhaps the single largest infrastructure 
opportunity in the ASEAN region today. This may not yet be fully recognised in 
the eyes of the stock market, but this fact and Andalas' strategy has not gone 
un-noticed in the region.  The industry participants we are currently speaking 
to, including power equipment suppliers and project finance specialists, all of 
whom understand the energy dynamic in Indonesia, see the inherent value in our 
strategy and respect the progress being made in progressing our strategy. 
 
Financial Review 
 
The period under review included a number of one-off expenses relating to the 
readmission of the Company to AIM in May 2016, which included share based 
payment expenses totalling US$794,000 (30 April 2016: US$348,000, 31 October 
2015: US$Nil) in respect of share consideration and options and US$446,000 (30 
April 2016: US$Nil, 31 October 2015: US$Nil) relating to IPO costs expensed 
following the completion of the Company's readmission to AIM in May 2016. 
Adjusting for these one-off costs the Group generated a loss in the period of 
US$1,816,000, Including all charges the loss for the period was US$3,151,000 
(30 April 2016: US$4,673,000, 31 October 2015: US$1,890,000). 
 
Furthermore, included in the $1,816,000 loss in the period was significant 
expenditure incurred in pursuing the Group's strategy in Indonesia that has 
been categorised as business development costs totalling $1,091,000, which 
included the continued development of Andalas' gas to power strategy of that 
resulted in the Company delivering the Pertamina cooperation agreement plus the 
identification of the first conceptual project and also performing due 
diligence work on a number of potential assets in Indonesia.  Despite there 
being ongoing value to the Group, this business development and due diligence 
cost is required to be expensed. 
 
Also included in the business development cost was an amount of US$173,000 in 
respect of the investment made by the Group at Tuba Obi East.  This expenditure 
delivered approval from Pertamina and significant site preparation in advance 
of executing the planned work programme, however as previously reported to the 
market we continue to work with PT Akar Golindo, the operator, to seek to 
progress the revised work programme. 
 
The Group held a cash balance of US$318,000 at 31 October 2016 (US$290,000 at 
30 April 2016, 31 October 2015: US$1,182,000).  In addition the Company had 
trade payables of US$737,000 at 31 October 2016 (US$1,799,000 at 30 April 2016, 
31 October 2015: US$111,000), included in this amount is US$514,000 of payables 
to certain Directors, consultants and third parties that had either agreed to 
either receive equity settlement or cash at such time as the Company has 
greater cash resources at its disposal. 
 
The Directors believe inclusion in the RUPTL, will significantly de-risk the 
First Project, thereby strengthening our position when discussing partnering or 
funding opportunities with third parties.  Subsequent to the period end the 
Group therefore issued a loan note of GBP500,000 with a repayment date of 28 
April 2017.  The Board believes this will provide sufficient additional working 
capital to progress the Company's strategy without issuing further dilutive 
equity at this time.  The Directors remain confident that the Group will 
continue to be able to finance its future working capital and development cost 
requirements beyond the period of twelve months from the date of this report. 
 
During the period and principally in conjunction with the readmission to AIM on 
13 May 2016, the Company issued a total of 1,775,020,674 shares at a price of 
0.2 pence in settlement of the convertible loan note (GBP600,000 (US$856,000)), 
settlement of certain share issue costs and corporate finance fees and a 
further placing to raise cash of GBP1.72million (US$2.512million). 
 
Outlook 
 
The gas to power strategy we are employing in Indonesia is elegantly simple and 
scalable.  Our first IPP will open the way for additional projects we already 
have in the pipeline, as we home in on the initial 250-500MW target of 
installed capacity we have set ourselves.  Each new project that we originate 
as we scale towards this target has the potential to unlock significant value 
for shareholders, however this target does not represent the sum of our 
ambitions.  We intend to continue adding projects to our portfolio beyond our 
initial target and in the process make a significant contribution towards 
addressing the country's power crisis at a local level.  We believe we are in 
the right market, with the right opportunity, relationships and economic 
fundamentals to deliver value for all shareholders and I look forward to 
providing further updates on our progress in the months ahead during what 
promises to be an exciting period for the Company. 
 
On behalf of the Board I would like to take this opportunity to thank our 
shareholders for their continued support over the last half year.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial information 
For the six months ended 31 October 2016 
 
1.             General information 
 
The Company was incorporated on 19 September 2006 in the Isle of Man as a 
public limited company. The address of its registered office is IOMA House, 
Hope Street, Douglas, Isle of Man.  CEB Resources changed its name to Andalas 
Energy and Power PLC on 3 December 2015.  The Company is listed on AIM, which 
is operated by the London Stock Exchange. 
 
2.             Basis of preparation 
 
Andalas Energy and Power plc (the "Company") is presenting unaudited financial 
statements as of and for the six months ended 31 October 2016.  The 
consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months 
ended 31 October 2016 comprise the results of the Company and its wholly owned 
subsidiary (together referred to as the "Group"). 
 
The consolidated interim financial information for the period 1 May 2016 to 31 
October 2016 is unaudited.  The comparatives for the full year ended 30 April 
2016 do not represent the Company's full accounts for that year although they 
were derived from them.  The auditor's report on those financial statements was 
unqualified but did contain an emphasis of matter paragraph in respect of the 
going concern status of the Group. It does not include all disclosures that 
would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and 
should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report. 
 
As at the date of these financial statements, the ability of the Company, and 
therefore the group, to continue as a going concern will require further 
funding to be raised.  The Directors believe inclusion in the RUPTL of our 
first project; will significantly de-risk the First Project, thereby 
strengthening our position when discussing partnering or funding opportunities 
with third parties.  The Directors remain confident that the Group will be able 
to continue to finance its future working capital and development costs beyond 
the period of twelve months from the date of this report. However, there can be 
no guarantee that the required funds to meet working capital and development 
costs will be available to the Group within the necessary timeframe. 
 
The financial information contained in this interim report does not constitute 
full accounts, which are available from the company's website 
www.andalasenergy.co.uk.  The annual financial statements of the Group are 
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").  The consolidated interim financial 
statements have been prepared using the accounting policies which will be 
applied in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2017. 
As allowed under the AIM rules the consolidated financial information has not 
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. 
 
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are 
followed in the interim consolidated financial statements as were applied in 
the Group's latest annual audited financial statements except that in the 
current financial year, the Group has adopted a number of revised Standards and 
Interpretations. However, none of these has had a material impact on the 
Group's reporting.  In addition, the IASB has issued a number of IFRS and IFRIC 
amendments or interpretations since the last annual report was published. It is 
not expected that any of these will have a material impact on the Group but the 
Group continues to assess the potential implications of IFRS 9. 
 
The interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board and 
authorised for issue on 31 January 2017. 
 
3.             Loss per share 
 
The basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the 
period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of 
shares outstanding during the period: 
 
                                           6 months ended 6 months ended     Year ended

In accordance with International Accounting Standard 33 'Earnings per share', 
no diluted earnings per share is presented as the Group is loss making.

The Group recognised $101,220 (30 April 2016: $153,954, 31 October 2015: 
$153,954) relating to equity-settled share based payment transactions during 
the period arising from Option or Warrant grant, of which $101,220 was expensed 
as interest cost because it related to the settlement of the convertible loan 
note (30 April 2016: $Nil, 31 October 2015: $Nil), of which $Nil (30 April 
2016: $153,954, 31 October 2015: $153,954) was expensed as a pre-licence 
acquisition cost with $Nil being expensed in relation to Directors and 
consultants services (30 April 2016: $Nil, 31 October 2015: $Nil).  Not 
included in the above table are 103,034,596 of  unvested options (30 April 
2016: 103,034,596, 31 October 2015: 103,034,596), that are held by certain 
Directors and consultants, which vest in three equal tranches relating to 
acquiring an economic interest in a first concession, an interest in a second 
concession and gross production from its interest in projects exceeding 
400BOPED. As the triggers for the grant of the tranches have not occurred at 
the reporting date no share based payment charge arises. 
 
For the share options and warrants outstanding as at 31 October 2016, the 
weighted average remaining contractual life is 2.39 years (30 April 2016: 2.02 
years, 31 October 2015: 2.52 years). 
 
6.             Share capital

At the period end the Company has the obligation to issue a further 93,750,000 
shares subject to further milestones being achieved but as at the reporting 
date the milestones had not been met accordingly the Company had not recorded 
the obligation as a liability. 
 
7. Events after the reporting date 
 
On 31 January 2017 the Company issued a Loan Note with nominal par value of GBP 
500,000.  No interest is charged over the term of the Loan Note, which has been 
issued at a 20% discount to nominal value, consequently the cash proceeds due 
to the Company following the issue of the Loan Note are GBP400,000.  The note is 
repayable in cash on or before 28 April 2017 ('the Maturity Date'), if the Loan 
Note has not been repaid it can be converted into equity at the lower of the 
closing day bid price or a 20% discount to the VWAP in minimum tranches of GBP 
20,000. For every three conversion shares issued under a conversion notice the 
lender will receive one 18 month warrant with exercise price at a 100% premium 
to the conversion price.
