("Lansdowne" or the "Company")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2021
Lansdowne Oil & Gas ("Lansdowne" or "the Company") is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2021. Lansdowne is an upstream oil and gas company, focused on exploration and appraisal activities in the North Celtic Sea Basin, off the south coast of Ireland. The Company has targeted the Irish offshore shelf areas close to existing operating infrastructure for exploration, as these provide shallow water (generally less than 100 metres), and relatively low drilling costs and the Directors believe that these factors, combined with favourable fiscal terms, have the potential to deliver high value reserves and consequential shareholder value.

Interim results
For the six months ended 30 June 2021
Chairman's Statement
In April 2021 a revised Lease Undertaking work programme was submitted to the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications ("DECC"), designed to move Barryroe to a declaration of commerciality, turning 2C resources into 2P reserves and subsequently seeking the award of a Petroleum Lease, prior to the commencement of production via the EDS.
In the early part of the year end, work continued on the technical and funding aspects of the Barryroe Early Development Scheme, but it became apparent that SpotOn would not be able to deliver the funding as required under the Farm Out Agreement ("FOA") and during April 2021 the Barryroe Partners terminated the FOA, as allowed under its terms.
The Barryroe Partners have now retaken control of the project and Lansdowne will as a result retain its 20% original equity in the project, maintaining 69MM Boe net 2C resources.
Outlook
A considerable amount of new technical work is underway focused upon the eastern part of Barryroe, which is targeted for the first phase of development. The rationale for locating in the eastern part of Barryroe is that the 48/24-10z well was drilled in this area and established good flow rates from the Basal Wealden A Sand (3,504 bopd) as well as strong gas flow rates from the overlying Basal Wealden C Sand. Furthermore, the 3D seismic quality is optimal in this area and the structural configuration shows low dips and little faulting.
The concept of a phased development of Barryroe, commencing in the eastern part of the field, has long been advocated and a first well location was identified by the Barryroe Partners in 2017 - labelled the K Location. A site survey application was lodged for this area in 2020 and approval to carry this out was granted in February. Planning for this survey is advanced and operations are expected to be carried out in October 2021.
Dialogue is continuing with DECC regarding the application for the Barryroe Lease Undertaking.
Oil and gas prices remain very robust, with the Brent oil price currently above $75/bbl and European gas prices at record levels (UK NBP above GBP1.50 per therm). Not surprisingly, Barryroe lying in shallow water (c. 100m), with relatively shallow reservoir depth - 7,000 to 7,500ft, has the potential to deliver great value at these prices.
At the AGM earlier this month, Viscount Torrington retired from the Lansdowne Board and I would thank him for more than fifteen of service and as serving for Chairman for the last five years. We will miss his wisdom and calm guidance and wish him all the very best for his retirement.
I would like once again to thank all our shareholders for their continued support as we strive to deliver the value inherent in Barryroe.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
Accounting Policies
The interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2021 has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies which were adopted in the 2016 Annual Report and Accounts and IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The interim financial information does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The results for the six months to 30 June 2021 and the comparative results for the six months to 30 June 2020 are unaudited. The comparative amounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 do not constitute the statutory financial statements for that year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Those financial statements have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and include an auditor's report which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. It did, however, contain an emphasis of matter over the going concern basis of preparation for the Group financial statements.
Going concern
The Directors have prepared the interim financial information on the going concern basis which assumes that the Group and Company and its subsidiaries will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have carried out a detailed assessment of the Group's current and prospective exploration activity, its relationship with the holder of its loan note and cash flow projections and it is on this basis that the directors consider it appropriate to prepare this interim financial information on a going concern basis. This interim financial information does not include any adjustment that would result from the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.
2. Segmental Analysis
The Group has only one reportable business segment, which is the exploration for oil and gas reserves in Ireland. All operations are classified as continuing.
3. Loss per share
The loss for the period was wholly from continuing operations.
Unaudited Unaudited Audited 6 months 6 months Year ended ended ended 30 June 30 June 31 Dec. '21 '20 '20 GBP000s GBP000s GBP000s Loss per share arising from continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of the Company - basic and diluted (in pence) (0.02) (0.03) (0.05) The calculations were based on the following information: Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company (149) (195) (407) Weighted average number of ordinary shares In issue - basic and diluted 789,385,913 765,088,897 789,385,913
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has one class of dilutive potential ordinary shares - share options. As a loss was recorded for all periods reported, the issue of new shares would have been anti-dilutive.
4. Intangible Assets
Oil and gas project expenditures, including geological, geophysical and seismic costs, are accumulated as intangible assets prior to the determination of commercial reserves. At 30 June 2021, intangible assets totalled GBP15.7 million (30 June 2020: GBP15.6 million), all of which relates to Ireland. Movements in the period relate to additional spend on the licence areas of GBP0.1 million.
5. Shareholder loan
The shareholder loan of GBP1 million (30 June 2020: GBP1.13 million) relates to a senior secured loan note issued in 2015 to LC Capital Master Fund Limited at a coupon rate of 5% and the loan is repayable on 31 December 2021.
6. Copies of the Interim Report
Copies of the interim results can be obtained from the Company Secretary, Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc, Paramount Court, Corrig Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18 and from the Company's website www.lansdowneoilandgas.com.
