           Half Yearly Report for the Six Months ended 30 June 2018 
 
                          (Unaudited and unreviewed) 
 
 
                                  Highlights 
 
Cadogan Petroleum plc ("Cadogan" or the "Company") announces its unaudited 
results for the six months ended 30 June 2018. 
 
  * The first half of 2018 was LTI and TRI[1] free and normalized emissions 
    were further reduced to 15.9 tons CO2,e/boe. Good progress has been made 
    towards achieving ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification for our Ukrainian 
    operations. 
  * Production continued to grow. The average net production rate over the 
    first half of the year was 234 boepd which is 64% higher than the average 
    in the first half of 2017 and 51% higher than the average for last year. 
    The production increase was driven by the successful work-over campaign on 
    the three producing wells of the Monastyretska licence, which have reached 
    an aggregated gross oil production of 225 bpd, at 30 June 2018. 
  * Traded volumes of gas were slightly lower than in H1 2017, but the segment 
    result significantly improved as a result of the cost saving initiatives 
    taken by Management the previous year. Collection of the receivable at the 
    end of December 2017 was nearly completed through the semester. 
  * The service business continued to support the Group's activities, thus 
    retaining funds within the Group, while tendering for third party services 
    to be rendered starting from the second part of the year (when the 
    work-over campaign in Monastyretska is due to be finished);  a multi-well 
    work-over contract was won in a tender launched by one of the largest 
    operators in Ukraine and the work has commenced in July. 
  * The active pursuit of opportunities to renew and diversify the portfolio 
    has continued. More than 10 potential opportunities were scrutinized during 
    the reporting period. 
  * The increased production, combined with higher prices and tight control on 
    all spending, further reduced the Group's after tax loss which was down to 
    $0.3 million (H1 2017: loss of $2 million). Gross profit increased to $0.6 
    million (30 June 2017: $0.5 million, 31 December 2017: $2.1 million). 
  * Net cash, i.e. cash and cash equivalents less short term borrowings, at the 
    end of the period was $41.4 million; this is comparable to the level at the 
    end of the same reporting period of last year  ($40.3 million) and 
    represents a $3.8 million increase over the value at the end of last year. 
    The successful efforts to manage cash items allowed the Ukrainian 
    operations to return some money to the UK parent company as a repayment of 
    the loans received in the past. 
 
 
 
 
 
Key performance indicators 
 
The Group has monitored its performance in conducting its business with 
reference to a number of  key performance indicators ('KPIs'): 
 
  * to increase oil, gas and condensate production measured on the barrels of 
    oil equivalent produced per day ('boepd'); 
  * to decrease administrative expenses; 
  * to increase the Group's basic earnings per share; 
  * to maintain an accident free working environment; 
  * to reduce its emisisons to the atmosphere; and 
  * to grow and geographically diversify the portfolio. 
 
The Group's performance during the first six months of 2018 against these 
targets is set out in the table below, together with the prior year performance 
data. No changes have been made to the sources of data or calculations used in 
the period/year. The positive trend in the HSE performances continue with zero 
incidents and decrease of the emissions.

                                    Summary 
 
 
Introduction 
 
The first half of 2018 witnessed a further recovery of the oil price, with 
Brent almost reaching 80 $/bbl, and there were no other events of consequence 
that have affected Cadogan in any of the countries where the Company has 
activities. 
 
The social, economic  and political conditions in Ukraine remained stable. The 
Parliament  passed in June the Anticorruption Court law, which was one of the 
requests of the International Monetary Fund  to grant a further tranche of the 
Extended Fund Facility program. 
 
Ukraine continued with its efforts to overhaul and modernise its oil & gas 
regulatory framework. A new law requiring licence applicants to submit an 
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for approval through local councils which 
was introduced and took effect on 17 December 2017. The law was passed without 
the necessary clarity on how to enforce it and this created delays in the award 
processes, which were ongoing at the time it was passed. The issue was resolved 
later in the year with the Cabinet of Ministers approving amendments to avoid 
delays for application processes started before 31 December 2017. 
 
A new law, which simplifies the licence application process came into force in 
June 2018. The new law  significantly reduces the time available  for the 
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to approve applications. It also 
confirms that applications are deemed to be approved if the competent 
authorities do not send their approval or a motivated rejection within a 
defined time period to the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine. 
 
Against this somewhat positive context, Cadogan's gas operations remained 
subject to a punitive royalty regime. 
 
In Italy, a new coalition government was formed following the general elections 
in March. Elections were also held in Lombardy which confirmed the 
Center-right  collation which had ruled the region for the  last 5 years. The 
Company has started the process of engaging with the newly appointed local 
authorities, with the objective of setting  the licence award process in motion 
again. 
 
 
Operations 
 
The E&P activity has focused on using the assets in Ukraine as a platform for 
growth by increasing production from the existing fields within the 
Debeslavetska, Cheremkhivska and Monastyretska licences.  At the end of the 
reporting period, the average gross production rate increased to 242 boepd (234 
boepd net to Cadogan), which is 56% higher than in the six months ended 30 June 
2017 (155 boepd gross, 143 boepd net). 
 
The focus of activity was the Monastyretska licence, where the Company 
completed in time and on budget a successful workover and stimulation campaign 
on the three producing wells. Gross oil production increased  to 225 bpd, which 
represents a 150% increase over the oil production at the beginning of the 
work-over campaign and a fourfold increase over the stable 45 bpd, which the 
field had been producing a year and a half ago. With the addition of gas 
production from Debeslavetska, Cadogan's net, oil and gas combined production 
at the end of the reporting period was 272  boepd. 
 
In parallel, the reservoir study to better understand the potential of the 
producing reservoir has progressed and it is anticipated that it will be 
concluded in the third quarter of the year. 
 
The farm-out of the Bitlyanska licence has been actively advertised by the UK 
consultant engaged with this mandate and a couple of requests to access the 
data room have been received at the time this report has been prepared. 
 
All activities were executed without LTI[2], with a total of nearly 700,000 
manhours since the last incident, which occurred to a contractor, in February 
2016. Emissions to the atmosphere were further reduced to 15.94 tons of CO2,e/ 
boe produced, compared to 26.47 tons of CO2,e/boe of the same reporting period 
of  last year. 
 
In Italy, activity has focused on securing the award of the two licences in the 
Po Valley. The Company is engaging with the newly elected local politicians to 
progress the awards. 
 
 
Trading 
 
Volumes of gas trading are normally lower in the first half of the year due to 
the seasonality of this business and the first six months of 2018 were no 
exception. The exception was the abnormal behaviour of the gas price, which 
remained close or higher than its winter level in Ukraine as well in the 
European hubs. This reduced the room for arbitrage and consequently impacted 
the margin. 
 
Cadogan's gas trading operations continued to take minimum credit risk and also 
recovered most of its past receivables. 
 
 
Financial position 
 
Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2018  were $41.4 million; this represents 
a $3.8 million increase over the value at 31 December 2017. This was driven by 
optimisation of working capital and recovery of VAT credits and of 
receivables.  Short term borrowing at 30 June, 2018 was nil as Cadogan was able 
to use its own financial resources to support its gas trading operations. 
 
The Directors believe that the capital available at the date of this report is 
sufficient for the Group to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. 
 
 
Outlook 
 
The position of Cadogan remains solid, with the resources and competences 
necessary to continue monetizing the value of its Ukrainian assets while 
pursuing opportunities outside of Ukraine to generate long term value for its 
shareholders. 
 
In Ukraine, the Company will strive to further improve the performances of its 
oil production operations while looking for solutions to  its gas producing 
operations which remain subject to an extremely high royalty rate. It will also 
start to prepare for the drilling of the two wells, which are required to 
fullfil the remaining commitments of the Bitlyanska and Monastyretska 
exploration licences and convert them into production licences. 
 
The Company will continue to actively pursue opportunities to leverage the 
strength of its balance sheet, competence and low cost structure to create long 
term value for shareholders. 
 
The results delivered in the first half of the year provide the management team 
with added confidence that Cadogan can be brought to profitability after many 
years of losses. 
 
 
                               Operations Review 
 
 
In H1 2018, the Group held working interests in four (2017: four) conventional 
gas, condensate and oil exploration and production licences in the West of 
Ukraine. All these assets are operated by the Group and are located in the 
prolific Carpathian basin, close to the Ukrainian gas distribution 
infrastructure. In the East, the Group took all necessary actions to convert 
the Pirkovskoe exploration licence which expired in 2015 into a production 
licence and is awaiting approval. 
 
The Group's primary focus during the period continued to be on the cost 
optimisation and enhancement of current production.

 1. E&D = Exploration and Development. 
 2. The Group has respectively 99.2% and 54.2% of economic benefit in 
    conventional activities in Debeslavetska and Cheremkhivsko-Strupkivska 
    licences through Joint Activity Agreements ("JAA"). 
 
In addition to the above licences, the Group has a 15%, 
carried-through-exploration interest in the ENI-led WGI[3], which holds the 
Cheremkhivsko-Strupkivska, Debeslavetska Production, Baulinska, Filimonivska, 
Kurinna, Sandugeyivska and Yakovlivska licences for unconventional activities. 
Cheremkhivsko-Strupkivska licence expired on 14 May 2018. WGI has submitted 
application for 10 years extension - pending State Geological Serivce approval. 
 
Below we provide an update to the full Operations Review contained in 2017 
Annual Report published on 25 April 2018. 
 
 
Bitlyanska licence 
 
Borynya 3 well is routinely monitored as required by existing regulations for 
wells which are suspended. Internal assessment and third party evalution 
identified drillable oil prospects at the depth below 1000m. 
 
A UK adviser has been engaged to assist in the farm-out of Bitlyanska licence. 
 
 
Monastyretska licence 
 
The work-over and stimulation campaign of wells Blazhiv-1, Blazhiv-3 and 
Blazhiv-Monastyrets-3 was successfully completed. The field produced 164 bpd 
gross (H1 2017: 73 bpd) over the reporting period. An upgrade of the oil 
storage capacity to fit with the increased production volumes has been started. 
 
A reservoir simulation study was awarded to an international consultant to 
assess the licence upside, as well as to assist in the selection of the optimal 
development scheme for the producing field. 
 
 
Debeslavetska Production licence area 
 
The field produced 60 boepd gross (H1 2017: 56 boepd) over the reporting 
period. Rigless activity was regularly conducted to neutralize the natural 
production decline. 
 
 
Cheremkhivska Production licence area 
 
As reported, the licence expired on 14 May 2018 and production had to be 
suspended on that day. The licence owner WGI submitted in good time the 
application for a 10 years extension which is now pending approval of the State 
Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine. Gross production over the reporting 
period was 19 boepd (H1 2017: 26 boepd). Assets related to this licence have 
been impaired in previous periods. 
 
 
Unconventional licences 
 
Eni, the majority owner of the operator WGI, is reconsidering its strategy and 
there is no certainty at this stage that well drilling and testing will be 
conducted. Cadogan, whose 15% interest is carried through exploration, had 
prudently impaired the residual value of the assets held as part of its 
investment in joint venture at the end of last year. 
 
 
Service Company 
activities 
 
Cadogan's 100% owned subsidiary, Astro Service LLC, continued to pursue 
opportunities to build a larger portfolio of orders, while serving intra-group 
operational needs. A multi-well work-over contract was signed with a local 
operator and has become effective from July 2018. 
 
 
 
                               Financial Review 
 
 
Overview 
 
Income statement 
 
Revenues increased to $5.3 million in the first half of 2018 (30 June 2017: 
$5.0 million, 31 December 2017: $15.1 million) and represent revenues from 
production, which doubled to $2.1 million (30 June 2017: $1.0 million) due to 
the increase of both production volumes  (57% over H1 2017) and average 
realised price (34% over H1 2017), and revenues from gas trading which 
decreased to $3.1 million (30 June 2017: $3.9 million, 31 December 2017: $12.7 
million). 
 
The service business in the first half of 2018 was focused on internal 
projects, in particular, on services to the Monastyretska licence. 
 
The cost of sales consists of $3.1 million of purchases of gas, and $1.5 
million of production royalties and operating costs (OPEX), such as 
depreciation and depletion of producing wells, direct staff costs for 
exploration and development and other operating costs. 
 
Gross profit increased to $0.6 million (30 June 2017: $0.5 million, 31 December 
2017: $2.1 million). 
 
Other administrative expenses were further reduced to $2.0 million (30 June 
2017: $2.7 million, 31 December 2017: $5.0 million). These comprise other staff 
costs, professional fees, Directors' remuneration and depreciation charges on 
non-producing property, plant and equipment. 
 
The reversal of impairment of other assets includes $0.3 million of reversal of 
previously impaired VAT provision as offset of VAT recoverable against margin 
earned on trading and E&P operations and $0.1 million of reversal of previously 
impaired inventories which were sold at above cost. 
 
 
Balance sheet 
 
The cash position of $41.4 million as at 30 June 2018, including pledged[4] 
cash of $7 million, increased compared with the $37.6 million at 31 December 
2017, mostly due to seasonality of gas trading segment, and remained almost at 
same level of H1 2017 of $40.3 million. 
 
Intangible Exploration and Evaluation ("E&E") assets of $1.7 million (30 June 
2017: $2.8 million, 31 December 2017: $1.7 million) represent the carrying 
value of the Group's investment in E&E assets as at 30 June 2018. The Property, 
Plant and Equipment ("PP&E") balance of $2.7 million at 30 June 2018 (30 June 
2017: $1.2 million, 31 December 2017: $2.1 million) include $1.5 million of 
development and production assets of Monastyretska licence and other PP&E of 
the Group. 
 
Trade and other receivables of $1.3 million (30 June 2017: $2.9 million, 31 
December 2017: $4.5 million) include $0.1 million trading prepayments and 
receivables (30 June 2017: $1.8 million, 31 December 2017: $3.1 million), and 
VAT recoverable of $0.6 million (30 June 2017: $0.3 million, 31 December 2017: 
$0.9 million) and $0.5 million of other receivables and prepayments (30 June 
2017: $0.7 million, 31 December 2017: $0.4 million). 
 
The $1.5 million of trade and other payables as of 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: 
$1.5 million, 31 December 2017: $1.4 million) represents $1.1 million (30 June 
2017: $0.8 million, 31 December 2017: $0.9 million) of other creditors and $0.4 
million of accruals (30 June 2017: $0.7 million, 31 December 2017: $0.5 
million). 
 
Cash flow statement 
 
The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement shows operating cash outflow before 
movements in working capital of $1.1 million (30 June 2017: outflow $2.1 
million, 31 December 2017: outflow $2.2 million). Cash inflows from movements 
in working capital in first half 2018 of $5.1 million represent a decrease in 
trade and other receivables of $3.4 million, decrease in inventories of $1.5 
million, and a decrease in trade and other  payables of $0.2 million. 
 
 
The Group had capital expenditure of $0.1 million on intangible Exploration and 
Evaluation ("E&E") assets for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (30 June 2016: 
$0.4 million, 31 December 2017: $0.6 million). This related to workovers on the 
Bitlyanska licence. On Monastyretska licence $0.7 million capital expenditure 
(30 June 2017: $nil, 31 December 2017: $0.1 million) on Property, Plant and 
Equipment ("PP&E") related to implementation of the work-over and stimulation 
campaign on Blazh wells. 
 
Commitments 
 
There has been no material change in the commitments and contingencies reported 
as at 31 December 2017 (refer to page 79 of the Annual Report). 
 
Treasury 
 
The Group continually monitors its exposure to currency risk. It maintains a 
portfolio of cash and cash equivalent balances mainly in US dollars ('USD') 
held primarily in the UK and holds these mostly in call deposits. Production 
revenues from the sale of hydrocarbons are received in the local currency in 
Ukraine ('UAH') and to date funds from such revenues have been partially held 
in Ukraine for further use in operations and partially ($2 million) remitted to 
the UK. Funds are transferred to the Company's subsidiaries in USD to fund 
operations, at which time the funds are converted to UAH. Some payments are 
made on behalf of the affiliates from the UK. 
 
Going concern 
 
The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have 
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in 
preparing the Interim Financial Statements. For further detail refer to the 
detailed discussion of the assumptions outlined in note 2(a) to the Interim 
Financial Statements. 
 
 
 
 
 
Cautionary Statement 
 
The business review and certain other sections of this Half Yearly Report 
contain forward looking statements that have been made by the Directors in good 
faith based on the information available to them up to the time of their 
approval of this report. However they should be treated with caution due to 
inherent uncertainties, including both economic and business risk factors, 
underlying any such forward-looking information and no statement should be 
construed as a profit forecast. 
 
 
 
                            Risks and uncertainties 
 
 
There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties inherent in the oil and 
gas sector which could have a material impact on the long-term performance of

                  Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements 
                         Six months ended 30 June 2018 
 
1.         General information 
 
Cadogan Petroleum plc (the 'Company', together with its subsidiaries the 
'Group'), is incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act. The 
address of the registered office is 6th Floor, 60 Gracechurch Street, London 
EC3V 0HR. The nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are 
set out in the Operations Review on pages 5 to 6 and the Financial Review on 
pages 7 to 8. 
 
This Half Yearly Report has not been audited or reviewed in accordance with the 
Auditing Practices Board guidance on 'Review of Interim Financial 
Information'. 
 
A copy of this Half Yearly Report has been published and may be found on the 
Company's website at www.cadoganpetroleum.com. 
 
 
2.         Basis of preparation 
 
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and as adopted by the 
European Union ('EU').  These Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared 
in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB. 
 
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the 
condensed financial statements as were followed in the most recent annual 
financial statements of the Group, which were included in the Annual Report 
issued on 25 April 2018. 
 
The Group has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that 
has been issued but is not yet effective. It is expected that where applicable, 
these standards and amendments will be adopted on each respective effective 
date. 
 
The Group has adopted the standards, amendments and interpretations effective 
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The adoption of these 
standards and amendments did not have a material effect on the financial 
statements of the Group. 
 
The Company adopted IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from 
Customers' in the six month period, following the standards becoming effective 
for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. 
 
IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' addresses the classification and measurement of 
financial assets and financial liabilities and replaces the guidance in IAS 39 
that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. 
IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three 
primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value 
through other comprehensive income (OCI) and fair value through profit or 
loss.  The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and 
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. There is now 
a new expected credit loss model that replaces the incurred loss impairment 
model used in IAS 39. The adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in any material 
change to the consolidated results of the Group from the start of the earliest 
period presented. The Group took the option available on transition not to 
restate comparative information. Following assessment of the consolidated 
financial assets no changes to classification of those financial assets was 
required. The Group has applied the expected credit loss impairment model to 
its financial assets and no material credit loss provisions were considered to 
exist at the date of initial application or period end. 
 
IFRS 15 introduced a single framework for revenue recognition and clarify 
principles of revenue recognition. This standard modifies the determination of 
when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise.  The core 
principle is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods and services to the customer of an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those 
goods or services.  The adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in any material 
change to the Group's revenue recognition following analysis of its contracts. 
 
 
(a)       Going concern 
 
The Directors have continued to use the going concern basis in preparing these 
condensed financial statements. The Group's business activities, together with 
the factors likely to affect future development, performance and position are 
set out in the Operations Review. The financial position of the Group, its cash 
flow and liquidity position are described in the Financial Review. 
 
The Group's cash balance at 30 June 2018 was $41.4 million (31 December 2017: 
$37.6 million), including pledged cash of $7 million (2017: $7 million). 
 
The Group's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible 
changes in operational performance, and the price of hydrocarbons sold to 
Ukrainian customers, show that there are reasonable expectations that the Group 
will be able to operate on funds currently held and those generated internally, 
for the foreseeable future. 
 
The Group continues to pursue its farm-out strategy on Bitlyanska licence with 
the objective of managing  risks and mitigating capital deployment. 
 
After making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, the 
Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have 
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable 
future and consider the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate 
and, thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in 
preparing the financial statements. In making its statement the Directors have 
considered the recent political and economic uncertainty in Ukraine. 
 
 
(b)      Foreign currencies 
 
The individual financial statements of each Group company are presented in the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its 
functional currency). The functional currency of the Company is US dollar. For 
the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial 
position of each Group company are expressed in US dollars, which is the 
presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements. 
 
The relevant exchange rates used were as follows:

(c)       Dividend 
 
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the period (30 
June 2017: $nil; 31 December 2017: $nil). 
 
 
3.         Segment information 
 
Segment information is presented on the basis of management's perspective and 
relates to the parts of the Group that are defined as operating segments. 
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal assessment provided 
to the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Group has 
identified its executive management team as its CODM and the internal 
assessment used by the top management team to oversee operations and make 
decisions on allocating resources serve as the basis of information presented. 
 
Segment information is analysed on the basis of the type of activity, products 
sold or services provided. 
 
The majority of the Group's operations are located within Ukraine. 
 
Segment information is analysed on the basis of the types of goods supplied by 
the Group's operating divisions. 
 
The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are therefore as follows: 
 
Exploration and Production 
 
  * E&P activities on the production licences for natural gas, oil and 
    condensate 
 
Service 
 
  * Drilling services to exploration and production companies 
  * Construction services to exploration and production companies 
 
Trading 
 
  * Import of natural gas from European countries 
  * Local purchase and sales of natural gas operations with physical delivery 
    of natural gas 
 
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's 
accounting policies. Sales between segments are carried out at market prices. 
The segment result represents profit under IFRS before unallocated corporate 
expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses include management and Board 
remuneration and expenses incurred in respect of the maintenance of Kiev office 
premises. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource 
allocation and assessment of segment performance. 
 
The Group does not present information on segment assets and liabilities as the 
CODM does not review such information for decision-making purposes. 
 
As of 30 June 2018 and for the six months then ended the Group's segmental 
information was as follows: 
 
                                     Exploration Service(1)     Trading   Consolidated

9.      Short-term borrowings 
 
In 2018 the Group continued to use short-term borrowings as a financing

line drawn in UAH at a Ukrainian bank, a 100% subsidiary of a European bank. 
The credit line is secured by $7 million of cash balance placed at a European 
bank in the UK. 
 
The Group did not use the credit line during the six months ended 30 June 2018
