Borders & Southern Petroleum plc
("Borders & Southern" or "the Company")
Unaudited Results for the six month period ended 30 June 2017
Borders & Southern (AIM: BOR), the London based independent oil and gas exploration company with assets offshore the Falkland Islands, announces unaudited results for the half year ending 30 June 2017.
Summary
-- Continued focus on the farm-out of the Company's condensate discovery and progressing the sub-surface technical evaluation
-- Cash balance at 30 June 2017: $8.6 million (2016: $12.2 million at 30 June, $9.65 million at 31 December); no debt
Chief Executive's Statement
Borders & Southern has continued to concentrate its efforts on attracting partners and funding to its Falklands project. The Company's balance sheet remains strong, we have no debt and we hold an extremely attractive asset.
The Company incurred a loss from operations of $871,000 for the six month period ending 30 June 2017, compared to $934,000 for the corresponding period last year. The Administrative expense for the first half of the year was $811,000, compared to $934,000 in 2016. The cash balance at 30 June 2017 was $8.6 million. The Company has maintained its disciplined approach to capital allocation, focusing on its strategic objectives of securing partners and progressing the technical work (and thereby reducing project risk).
During the first half of the year we identified and engaged with new potential partners and updated others, who had previously shown interest in the project, on the developments in our technical work. Progress has been slow in securing the partners we need for the next phase of operations. This is largely due to the universal challenges faced by the sector, caused by the lower oil price. Relatively few deep-water exploration and appraisal wells are being planned as companies continue to face budget constraints. When presenting our project, the technical aspects are commonly well received, but there has been little appetite to commit to large offshore capital projects in the current environment.
Our sub-surface work has included more reservoir modelling, researching full field development options (Darwin East and West combined) and examining further the individual fault blocks. Other areas of activity have incorporated regional geological analysis and prospect specific studies.
Whilst the external environment may continue to be challenging in the short term, the Company is well positioned for a recovery in the oil price. We have an excellent discovery with a low break-even oil price, attractive near-field prospectivity and additional block-wide potential from different play types. Our balance sheet remains strong, our overhead low and we have a clear strategic focus on monetising our discovery.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2017
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 2016 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 2017 and 30 June 2016 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 2016 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. EARNINGS per share
The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. During the year the potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive and therefore diluted loss per share has not been calculated. At 30 June 2017, there were 7,050,000 (30 June 2016: 6,050,000) potentially dilutive ordinary shares being the share options.
