Final Results

San Leon Energy Plc ("San Leon" or "the Company"), the AIM listed oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Africa and Europe, today announces its audited final results for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Highlights:

Post Year End Transaction

 
 
        *    San Leon announced on 22 January 2016 its proposed 
             entry into Nigerian onshore oil and gas production 
 
 
        *    The transformational transaction will result in the 
             Company securing an initial 9.72% indirect economic 
             interest in the world class OML 18 block, subject to 
             shareholder approval 
 
 
        *    The acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover under 
             the AIM Rules. San Leon is required to publish an AIM 
             readmission document and to reapply for the Company's 
             ordinary shares to be readmitted to trading on AIM 
 
 
        *    As a result of the proposed Nigerian transaction, San 
             Leon will implement a shareholder distribution policy, 
             returning 50 per cent. of free cash flow from the 
             Nigerian asset to shareholders over the five years 
             starting with first Nigerian cash flow. To allow this, 
             asset write-offs of EUR166.9m have been recorded at 
             31 December 2015, and an application to reduce share 
             capital/share premium will be made to the Irish 
             courts 
 

Operational

 
 
        *    NovaSeis, the Company's 100%-owned subsidiary, signed 
             a Memorandum of Understanding with Northbridge Energy 
             Ltd setting out a Joint Venture to provide seismic 
             acquisition and interpretation services in Nigeria 
 
 
        *    Rawicz-12 well declared as a gas discovery and is 
             expected to be the largest gas development in Poland 
             for 20 years 
 
 
        *    Spud Rawicz-15 development well and post year end, 
             announced an average flow rate in excess of 3.6 
             mmscfd (million cubic feet per day) 
 
 
        *    Competent Person Report by Ryder Scott Company for 
             Palomar Natural Resources, the operator, stated that 
             the Rawicz gas field contains over 50 Bcf of 2P 
             reserves 
 
 
        *    Oil shale bench testing results at the Timahdit oil 
             shale licence proved the Enefit process to be 
             applicable and being used to assess the efficiency of 
             the Chevron Lummus upgrading technology on the shale 
             oil 
 
 
        *    Laayoune-4 well on the Tarfaya conventional licence, 
             onshore Morocco, was drilled and suspended with gas 
             shows, pending further seismic work 
 
 
        *    Initiated asset optimisation and cost reduction 
             strategy, resulting in relinquishing certain licences 
 

Corporate

 
 
        *    Announced GBP29 million (gross) fundraising, through 
             a placing of new ordinary shares, together with a 
             share capital reorganisation in the middle of 2015 
 
 
        *    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 
 
 
        *    Jeremy Boak, Non-Executive Director of the Company, 
             accepted a position at The University of Oklahoma, 
             and as a result resigned from the board of San Leon 
 
 
        *    Piotr Rozwadowski, Non-Executive Director of the 
             Company, resigned from the board of San Leon on 5th 
             May, after the reporting period 
 

Financial

 
 
        *    Total comprehensive loss for the year of EUR213.6m 
             (2014: loss of EUR34.4m) 
 
 
        *    Total assets decreased to EUR132m at 31 December 2015 
             (2014: EUR281m) 
 
 
        *    At year end the Group had cash and cash equivalents 
             of EUR0.9m (2014: EUR1.8m) 
 

Outlook

 
 
        *    The onshore Nigerian production transaction is 
             expected to be transformational, repositioning San 
             Leon as a producing company with significant yet low 
             risk upside, and attractive hedges already in place 
 
 
        *    Rawicz field development continues to progress, with 
             a full development plan to be submitted to the Polish 
             government for approval. It is envisaged that at 
             least three wells, including Rawicz-12 and Rawicz-15, 
             will be available for first production in early 2017

Chairman's statement

We took advantage of the crisis that brought down the price of oil and gas assets to move aggressively. We put together a deal with Eroton and Midwestern, two major Nigerian players, to acquire a 9.72% indirect economic interest in the world-class onshore OML 18 block in Nigeria.

We structured and marketed a proposed equity raise to complete the deal, which will be voted on by shareholders in the near future.

Last year we promised shareholders that we would focus on appraisal and production assets, and in particular production. The proposed OML 18 deal is expected to achieve this in a highly material fashion, subject to shareholder approval. Full details of the announced deal structure will be provided in the AIM re-admission document, and highlights are given below:

 
 
        *    Expected transformational cash flow impact on the 
             Company will enable 50% of free cash flow to be 
             returned to shareholders via dividend and/or share 
             buyback 
 
        *    San Leon's investment is to be made through a $173 
             million loan instrument which will be repaid, with 
             17% per annum interest, over four years 
 
        *    Three sources of cash flow to San Leon from the deal: 
                  1. Loan repayments (principal plus interest) 
                  2. Dividends from indirect economic interest 
                   in OML 18 
                  3. Right to provide workover and drilling rig 
                   services to the operator 
 
        *    Acquisition to be funded through a minimum $200 
             million equity placing 
 
        *    OML 18 is producing 50,000 bopd, with a low risk 
             development plan to reach 100,000 bopd 
 
        *    Hedge at $95 per barrel of oil with Shell for around 
             35% of expected 2P production until the end of 2017 
 
        *    Significantly reduced theft or supply disruption 
             through engagement with local community and 
             indigenous operating partners 
 
        *    Former Head of Shell Nigeria joining the San Leon 
             Board as Non-Executive Chairman, with other Board 
             changes appropriate to the post-deal Company. 
 

Poland

Rawicz, expected to be the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years, continues to succeed. The second appraisal/development well on the structure was drilled in 2015 and tested in 2016, and first gas from an initial well stock of at least 3 wells is expected in early 2017.

Other operational activity in Poland has been limited, in response to low commodity prices and a difficult transaction environment for exploration and appraisal assets. Various non-core assets, particularly those which were early-stage exploration and which therefore no longer fit with the Company's focus on cash flow, have been fully or partly relinquished.

Morocco

The Laayoune-4 well on the onshore Tarfaya licence, targeting the conventional Tertiary sandstone, was drilled in summer 2015 and encountered gas shows. ONHYM and the Company now intend to apply for a long licence, which may include 3D seismic over the broader structure (including the existing well), and the well may also be re-entered.

Elsewhere in Morocco activity has been limited to technical analysis. Our interest in the offshore Sidi Moussa licence is available for farm out, and the operator (Genel Energy) is focussing its offshore efforts there. Spending on the Tarfaya oil shale licence has been restricted, pending a recovery in the oil price.

CORPORATE

Once again the Company recorded no Lost Time Incidents (LTIs) for the year, reflecting the priority placed by all staff and contractors on HSEQ.

The major step for your Company comes with the proposed Nigerian deal announced after the reporting period in January 2016, and the proposed placing at a significant premium to the price at suspension. The expected fiscal strength of the Company as a result of a completed Nigerian deal has encouraged the Company to put in place a policy for returning 50% of Plc free cash flow to investors for the next 5 years.

San Leon raised GBP29 million via a placing, in the middle of 2015. These funds enabled the drilling of the Tarfaya conventional well, the retention of the Barryroe NPI, provided working capital, and - as foreseen in the Placing documentation - positioned the Company for the proposed Nigerian production deal. As part of that move towards a production focus, and also reflecting the downturn in the industry, the Company announced various licence exits (particularly on early-stage exploration) to reduce overheads and avoid distraction of effort, and that portfolio optimisation continues. As a result, EUR166.9m of assets were impaired during 2015, resulting in a loss for the year after providing for depreciation and taxation of EUR213.4m. As at 31 December 2015, cash and cash equivalents was EUR0.9m, and the Company has access to several sources of funding which satisfies the Directors that the Company continues as a going concern.

Other items reflected in the accounts are firstly that short-term financing was required during 2015, as detailed in finance expenses. Secondly, various Company subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") have been unsuccessful in their appeal against the findings of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, in relation to the arbitration between the Subsidiaries and Avobone N.V. and Avobone Poland B.V..

The Subsidiaries appealed the ICC findings to the UK Commercial Court in October 2015. The findings of the Court, received by the Company on 4 February 2016 but not conclusive until 11 February, were that the Subsidiaries' leave to appeal was dismissed. Accordingly, the Company has provided for the award.

For several months around the end of 2015 the Company was in a formal offer period, having received an approach. That approach was subsequently withdrawn.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, NovaSeis, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Northbridge, an indigenous Nigerian technical company, with the aim of developing a seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation business in Nigeria. NovaSeis performed a considerable amount of such European and North African work since 2011 both internally to San Leon and to third parties.

OUTLOOK

In the current industry climate, securing cash flow is key. Subject to shareholder approval, the Nigeria deal is expected to provide exactly that. The Directors believe your Company will become one of the largest E&P companies on AIM, and one of very few paying dividends and/or undertaking share buybacks.

"2015 was the year to plan to acquire assets, with the whole energy industry depressed. The Nigerian OML 18 deal proposed in 2016 certainly was not easy to achieve, but it was worth it: a new world opens up to San Leon and its shareholders."

Oisín Fanning

Executive Chairman

Chief Operating Officer's statement

"Our proposed OML 18 project has all the essential components of success: a proven ability to increase production, quality of operatorship, good community relationships, a supportive and reliable partner and several material cash flow streams."

Joel Price

Chief Operating Officer

MOROCCO

Oil shale development

The 36 km(2) Timahdit oil shale block onshore Morocco is an asset being kept for the future, when oil prices recover and an update to the existing pre-feasibility study for developing the asset is warranted.

FRANCE

Shale gas licences

In France, San Leon continues to apply for over 2.4 million acres (c9,000 km(2) ) of licences - licence applications which have been made at very low cost.

ALBANIA

Offshore

The Company is in discussions with the Ministry regarding the next stages on its offshore Albania Durresi block. A large suite of data, including modern 3D seismic, defines the large oil and gas target (near to the A4-1X discovery well) in relatively deep water. San Leon continues to seek a partner to drill the structure.

MOROCCO

Offshore

The Genel-operated Sidi Moussa block (San Leon net 10.0% interest) is the subject of farm out activity by the operator, with the prospect of further well activity.

Onshore (Zag)

Zag is a large licence on which technical works continues to evaluate its potential.

POLAND

Baltic Basin

2014 saw testing on the Company's 100%-owned Lewino-1G2 shale gas well, on the Gdansk W concession, providing the best single frac on a vertical gas well in Europe. The concession requires a follow-up horizontal well with multiple fractures (much of the planning for which is complete), and a partner is being sought to perform that work to enable a proper evaluation of the level of commerciality of the 220,000 acres.

The Sczcawno concession, further to the south in a region with dry gas, has a vertical well already drilled into its shale target, and awaits fraccing and testing. Siekierki, in the Permian Basin, is a tight gas field on which the Company has an agreement for Palomar Natural Resources ("Palomar"; the operator, with 65% equity) to perform workovers on three existing wells.

IRELAND

Offshore

San Leon's 4.5% Net Profit Interest (NPI) on the Barryroe oil field provides access to future revenue streams with no additional capital required. A CPR was produced by the operator in 2013, and the operator continues efforts to farm out the asset to enable the next wells to be drilled.

MOROCCO

Onshore

Laayoune-4 was drilled as a commitment well targeting Tertiary channel sands on the onshore Tarfaya licence. It is in an excellent location for gas marketing, and believed to be part of a larger structure. The well encountered gas shows and has been suspended pending possible re-entry. In the meantime, the Company intends to apply in conjunction with ONHYM for a long licence extension on Tarfaya, which may include a significant 3D seismic programme over the broader structure, including the Laayoune-4 well.

POLAND

Rawicz-15, the second appraisal/development well on the onshore Poland Rawicz gas field, was drilled during 2015 by the operator, Palomar. It was subsequently tested in early 2016 and produced 3.6 mmscf/d, confirming the producibility of the reservoir on the western side of the structure and providing further evidence of volumes. Palomar is finalising a full development plan to be submitted to the Polish Government for approval. The operator's development plan envisages at least three wells available for first production (including Rawicz-12 and Rawicz-15), now expected in early 2017, which would bring onstream the largest gas development in Poland for 20 years.

Notes

   1.    General 

San Leon Energy plc ("the Company") is a company incorporated in Ireland. The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company with those of its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group").

The financial information presented in this report has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and as set out in the Group's annual financial statements in respect of the year ended 31 December 2014. The financial information herein does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, however the full financial statements are included within the Annual Report which are being distributed to shareholders and which are available on the Company's website www.sanleonenergy.com. It will also be filed with the Company's Annual Return in the Companies Registration Office. The financial information herein for the prior year ended 31 December 2015 represents an abbreviated version of the Group's statutory financial statements and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been filed with the Companies Registration Office.

2. Extract from KPMG's Independent Auditor's Report: Opinions and conclusions, and emphasis of matter - going concern

Our opinion on the financial statements is unmodified.

In our opinion:

-- the Group financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2015 and of its loss for the year then ended;

-- the Company Statement of Financial Position gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2015;

-- the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union;

-- the Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2014; and

-- the Group financial statements and Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014.

In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in Note 1 to the financial statements concerning the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group and Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of key assumptions as set out in Note 1 including the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a share placing and of the acquisition by the Company of a 9.72% indirect economic interest in the OML 18 block, onshore Nigeria, at an Extraordinary General Meeting in July 2016. These assumptions, along with the other matters explained in Note 1 to the financial statements, indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt about the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as going concerns.

   3.    Earnings per share 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributed to ordinary shareholders of EUR213,366,000 (2014: EUR38,264,356 loss) by the weighted average number of shares of 42,134,338 (2014: 25,352,990) in issue during the year. The diluted earnings per share calculation is identical to that used for basic loss per share as warrants are "out of the money" and not considered dilutive.

   4.    Annual Report and Accounts 

Copies of the Annual Report and Accounts, together with a notice of the annual general meeting, are being posted to shareholders on 30 June 2016 and are available within the Investor Relations section of the Company's website www.sanleonenergy.com today.
