Borders & Southern Petroleum plc
("Borders & Southern" or 'the Company")
Unaudited Results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020
Borders & Southern Petroleum plc (AIM: BOR) is pleased to announce its unaudited interim financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2020. The accounts contained within this report represent the consolidation of Borders & Southern Petroleum plc and its subsidiary, Borders & Southern Falkland Islands Limited.
Chief Executive's Statement
The Company reports a loss from operations of $579,000 for the six-month period ending 30 June 2020. This compares to $820,000 for the corresponding period last year. The cash balance at 30 June 2020 was $2,560,000 (30 June 2019: $4,407,000), with no debt.
Tough economic conditions have prevailed throughout the first part of the year and in response to this we have made additional cutbacks to the 2020 budget. The Company has always maintained a low overhead, outsourcing many of its non-core disciplines. But further savings have been made, including staff salaries. Executive directors have taken a 50% reduction in salary since 2019. Our objective has been to preserve cash during this industry downturn.
The low oil price, currently around $40 per barrel, has resulted in a dramatic fall in exploration and appraisal activity within the industry, along with a decrease in capital expenditure on new developments. In this setting we have continued our farm-out pursuit. Our endeavors have been far reaching, not only having discussions with other oil companies, but also exploring potential collaborations with service and engineering companies. We continue to investigate all options.
Undoubtedly, within the current climate we face a significant challenge, like so many companies our size. This year, our industry has faced an oil supply surplus coupled with a decrease in demand due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, at a time when the world is starting to transition towards renewable energy. Many commentators believe that hydrocarbons will continue to play a very important role during the transition, but we will potentially see a high-grading of new developments, based on quality of reservoir, break-even oil price and environmental footprint. We believe that Darwin stands out on this basis, with its break-even oil price of less than $35 per barrel, quick payback, excellent reservoir and a relatively small environmental footprint. We therefore remain optimistic that progress towards appraisal and development will be achieved.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2020
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the recognition and measurement principles of International Accounting Standards, International Reporting Standards and Interpretations adopted for use in the European Union (collectively EU IFRSs). The Group has not elected to comply with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as permitted. The principal accounting policies used in preparing the interim financial statements are unchanged from those disclosed in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2019 and are expected to be consistent with those policies that will be in effect at the year end.
The condensed financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 are unreviewed and unaudited. The comparative financial information does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined by Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2019 is not the company's full statutory accounts for that period. A copy of those statutory financial statements has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain a statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
2. LOSS per share
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. Diluted loss per share are not stated as the dilution would relate only to share options and would be considered anti-dilutive.

4. Going Concern
The Company regularly assesses its liquidity and available funds to ensure that it has sufficient funds available to cover its costs for at least the following 12 months. As mentioned in the Chief Executive's statement, costs have been recently cut to ensure this remains the case.
