Chief Executive's Statement
Activity during the first half of this year has focused on
reservoir engineering studies of the Darwin discovery, the
acquisition and processing of new 3D seismic, well planning for the
next drilling campaign and the initiation of a farmout of the
Company's acreage.
Reservoir engineering has concentrated on building more
sophisticated models to incorporate detailed mapping of faults and
internal reservoir facies variations in the light of our enhanced
understanding of the fluid properties. Well information and mapped
seismic attributes have been used to weight modelled reservoir
properties. This work will continue and will again be modified once
we have received the reprocessed 3D seismic data next year. The
work will ultimately result in revised estimated recoverable
volumes for the discovery and provide final drilling locations for
appraisal wells.
Fast track processed data from the 3D seismic survey completed
earlier in the year, has been received and interpreted. Not only
does the new data confirm our understanding of the potential of
prospects such as Covington, it also provides valuable new insights
into the regional geology. Amplitude anomalies, which occur at the
same level as the Darwin reservoir, appear very encouraging.
Additional amplitude anomalies observed at a slightly younger
stratigraphic level than the Darwin reservoir look intriguing. The
full assessment of these anomalies will be undertaken on the final
product. It is hoped that the merged reprocessed 2008 3D seismic
and the new fully processed 2013 seismic will be ready by the end
of the first quarter next year.
Planning for the next drilling campaign is underway. Conceptual
well designs for appraisal and exploration wells have been
completed. Working with other Falkland Island Operators we have
completed a market enquiry for a suitable rig. Whilst there is a
possibility for the joint operations to commence in the fourth
quarter 2014, the most likely timing for the next drilling campaign
is 2015. In order to participate in a shared rig programme the
Company needs to secure a partner. Our farmout process is in
progress and we will report further in due course.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2013
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 2012 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 2013 and 30 June 2012 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 2012 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 earnings 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 is not stated as the dilution would relate only to share
options.
