Petro Matad Limited

('Petro Matad' or the 'Company')

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020

LONDON, 17 August 2020: Petro Matad Limited, the AIM quoted Mongolian oil company, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Financial Summary

The Group posted a loss of USD 2.35 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020, which compares to a loss of USD 4.41 million for the comparable period in 2019. The Company's cash balance at 30 June 2020 was USD 2.08 million (USD 2.07 million in cash and USD 0.01 million in Financial Assets), which compares to a cash balance of USD 16.12 million (USD 3.79 million in cash and USD 12.33 million in Financial Assets) on 30 June 2019.

The Company has strategically put in place cost saving measures without sacrificing its operational capability, which in the absence of new sources of financing, will enable it to remain in an operationally ready state until mid-2021. Meanwhile the Company is pursuing a number of options to fund the next stage of its activities.

Operational Update

-- The Block XX Exploitation Licence (EL) application continues to progress through the government's approval processes. A key component is approval of the Company's reserve report for its Heron 1 oil discovery. The report has been reviewed by auditors appointed by the Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry (MMHI) and forwarded for final review and approval to the Mineral Resource Professional Council (MRPC). We are pushing for the council to meet and we are hopeful that it will do so before the end of the third quarter.

-- Once the reserves report has been approved, the EL award process requires the development area to be agreed with industry regulator Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (MRPAM) and then the Plan of Development must be reviewed and approved by MRPAM and MMHI. The Plan of Development has been completed save for any minor modifications which may result from the ongoing review of the reserves report and it will be submitted to the relevant bodies as soon as the reserves report approval is in hand.

-- The Covid-19 pandemic combined with the Mongolian parliamentary election which was held in June 2020 have caused some delays in the EL approval processes but the previously announced one-year moratorium obtained for Block XX ensures that the PSC remains in good standing as the EL award process progresses.

-- In parallel with the EL the Company is also working with MRPAM to progress the issues of land access which caused some delay and disruption to operations in 2019. MRPAM advises that they expect the issues, which arose as a result of new legislation (Reg 287 of 2017), will be resolved by the adoption of the conclusions of a working group. Those conclusions are currently progressing through the government's approval processes.

-- Mongolia continues to manage the Covid-19 pandemic with the strict application of in-country measures as well as maintaining border closures to all but essential travel. To date, community spread has successfully been prevented in Mongolia and the impact on the Company's activities has been limited with its office and those of MRPAM and MMHI functioning as normal throughout.

Further operational updates will be provided in due course.

   1.   CORPORATE INFORMATION 

The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Petro Matad Limited and its controlled entities.

Petro Matad Limited, a company incorporated in the Isle of Man on 30 August 2007 has four wholly owned subsidiaries, including Capcorp Mongolia LLC and Petro Matad LLC (both incorporated in Mongolia), Central Asian Petroleum Corporation Limited ("Capcorp") and Petromatad Invest Limited (both incorporated in the Cayman Islands). Its major shareholder is Petrovis Matad Inc.

   2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The half-year financial report does not include all of the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Report of Petro Matad Limited as at 31 December 2019. The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report is considered together with any public announcements made by Petro Matad Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year ended 30 June 2020.

   (a)      Basis of Preparation 

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where stated.

The financial report is presented in US dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000).

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

   (b)      Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at 31 December each year.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered.

                                                  --------  -------- 
 
 (a) Basic earnings/(loss) per share 
 The profit/(loss) and weighted average number 
  of ordinary shares used in the calculation 
  of basic loss per share are as follows: 
 
 
 Net profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary 
  shareholders (US$'000)                           (2,352)   (4,406) 
                                                  --------  -------- 
 
 Weighted average number of ordinary shares 
  for the purposes of basic earnings per share 
  ('000)                                           672,429   662,196 
 
 (b) Diluted earnings/(loss) per share 
 The profit/(loss) and weighted average number 
  of ordinary shares used in the calculation 
  of diluted earnings per share are as follows: 
 
 
 Net profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary 
  shareholders (US$'000)                           (2,352)   (4,406)

                                                  --------  -------- 
 

Share Options and Conditional Share Awards could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, however they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because they are anti-dilutive for both years presented.
