Jadestone Energy
Results for the Period Ending September 30, 2018
November 28, 2018-Singapore: Jadestone Energy Inc. (AIM:JSE,
TSXV:JSE) ("Jadestone" or the "Company"), an independent oil and
gas production company focused on the Asia Pacific region, reported
today its condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Third quarter highlights
Operational
-- Completed a transformational inorganic acquisition delivering
material cashflow, reserves and production. The Montara Assets
acquisition was completed on September 28, 2018 from certain
subsidiaries of PTT Exploration and Production pcl ("PTTEP") adding
28.2 mmbbls of 2P reserves, as of January 2018, for a net cash
consideration of US$133.1mm, after receipt from PTTEP of US$75.5mm
of cash at closing, and other customary working capital
adjustments;
-- Successfully completed an over-subscribed placing and
admitted for trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock
Exchange. The Company issued 239.7mm new common shares on August 8,
2018, raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP83.9mm;
-- Secured access to senior debt financing at LIBOR + 3%.
Jadestone entered into a reserve-based loan ("RBL") agreement on
August 2, 2018 borrowing US$120.0mm and, at the same time,
simplified its balance sheet by redeeming the 2016 convertible bond
facility for US$17.4mm;
-- Hedged half of Montara's production for two years at an
average price of $72/bbl. The Company entered into a capped swap
covering the first 24 months of Montara's planned 2PD production,
at swap prices significantly above current spot oil prices
(US$78.26/bbl for Q4 2018, US$71.72/bbl for 2019, and US$68.45/bbl
for the first three quarters of 2020). Additionally, approximately
two thirds of the swapped barrels in 2019 and 2020 have upside
price participation via purchased calls with strike prices set at
US$80/bbl for 2019 and US$85/bbl for 2020;
-- Achieved 100% facility uptime at Stag. Production operations
at Stag continued safely throughout the third quarter, reaching
another milestone of 2,297 days without a lost time incident. Under
Jadestone, the asset has consistently operated within the
parameters of its safety case, as agreed with NOPSEMA the
Australian offshore regulator, and with zero enforcement
notices;
-- Increased Stag production by over 9%. Average production from
Stag during Q3 was 3,080 bbls/d (Q2 2018: 2,814 bbls/d), mainly due
to higher uptime;
Financial
-- Locked in sales at higher oil prices achieving a circa 80%
jump in revenue. During the third quarter, there were two Stag
liftings, totalling 422,267 bbls, generating sales revenue of
US$32.7mm in the third quarter, compared to US$18.3mm in the June
quarter from one lifting of 200,890 bbls;
-- Strong cash position of US$65.3mm inclusive of RBL debt
service reserve, and with a maiden net profit before tax during the
quarter of US$3.2mm. The previous quarter saw a net loss before tax
of US$3.9mm and a net loss of US$3.6mm on Q3 2017;
-- Continued cost vigilance giving rise to further reductions in
per unit operating costs. Per unit production costs at Stag fell a
further 9% to US$30.13/bbl before workovers and repair costs;
-- Reported a record US$7mm of quarterly cash from operations.
Jadestone reports record cash from operations arising from higher
uptime, higher production, greater revenue, higher oil prices and
lower costs.
Outlook
-- As of November 1, 2018, Montara production was halted by the
operator to undertake an inspection and maintenance shutdown, with
a focus on clearing a backlog of inspection tasks. Work is
progressing smoothly, and the Company anticipates the operator will
restart production operations in early December;
-- Infill drilling programme to commence in 2019. Based on the
operators' latest rig availability schedule infill drilling at Stag
will commence in Q1 2019, with infill drilling at Montara to begin
following completion of regulatory approvals, which are anticipated
in H1 2019;
-- Continue to progress the FEED, FDP technical studies, and
negotiation of the pertinent commercial agreements associated with
the Nam Du/U Minh gas developments in Vietnam, targeting FID in H2
2019.
Paul Blakeley, President and CEO, commented:
"This was a transformational quarter for Jadestone, and one that
represents great progress in adding significant value for our
shareholders through deployment of our stated strategy. Our
progress in Q3 has delivered a resilient business, with an even
stronger balance sheet, low debt, and a steady stream of cash
generation, backed by an attractive level of locked-in hedges.
"I am delighted to have completed our acquisition of the Montara
Assets just before quarter end, which has resulted in a three-fold
increase in the size of our business. Our ability to layer in high
quality inorganic opportunities is a key strand in the Jadestone
strategy, and Montara is testament to the deep opportunity set we
see in the Asia Pacific region.
"The financing arrangements we completed during the quarter,
including an oversubscribed equity placement, AIM admission, and
senior secured debt facility, reflect market recognition of the
high quality portfolio we are building. In just over two years, we
have transformed the Company into a high value, cash generative
business, with strong support from the capital markets, including
both debt and equity investors.
"Production at Stag continued safely throughout the quarter and,
with 100% uptime, is becoming a very steady and reliable cash
generating asset. Stag's performance underscores our ability to
efficiently operate second-phase offshore production assets, while
containing costs and steadfastly working within the parameters of
the safety case, as agreed with the Australian regulator
NOPSEMA.
"We are now starting to exert similar early influence on the
Montara Assets during the transitional phase while the seller PTTEP
remains operator. Having seconded a number of key operational
leaders from Jadestone into the current operation, we are now
clearing a maintenance and inspection backlog at Montara which will
mean that when we assume operatorship next year, we will inherit a
high reliability facility that we can operate with confidence, with
improved uptime performance and without a planned major maintenance
shutdown until at least the second half of 2020."
Operations update
Stag Oilfield (shallow water, offshore Australia)
The Company had two crude oil liftings during the third quarter,
for a total sales production of 422,267 bbls, which is more than
double the sales volume from a single lifting in the June 2018
quarter. This has resulted in substantially higher revenue during
the quarter, and although it has also resulted in an increase in
production costs, on a per unit basis, Stag opex has fallen to
US$30.13/bbl from US$33.09 in the June quarter.
Stag reported 100% uptime during the quarter, for the first time
since Jadestone acquired the asset in Q4 2016. The Company is
continuing to pursue opportunities to enhance value at Stag,
including drilling its first infill well. The well location and
drilling slot have been selected, and well design is in advanced
planning stages. Based on the latest rig schedule information, the
well is now expected to be drilled in the first half of 2019.
Montara (shallow water, offshore Australia)
As of the end of the quarter, Jadestone had owned the Montara
asset for just three days. Production during that period was 7,585
bbls/d.
Prior to completing the Montara Assets acquisition on September
28, 2018, Jadestone had begun influencing the outcome of key
issues, including reinstatement of the asset's FPSO class.
PTTEP continues to operate the field under an operator and
transitional services agreement, until regulatory approvals and
transfers are finalised. The Company expects this process to be
complete in the first half of 2019, at which time Jadestone will
become the operator. However, with senior secondees now in place,
the transition to a Jadestone operating business is expected to be
as seamless as possible.
As of November 1, 2018, Montara production was halted to
undertake an inspection and maintenance shutdown, with a focus on
clearing a backlog of inspection tasks. Work is progressing
smoothly, and the Company anticipates the operator will restart
production operations in early December. The decision to advance a
2019 shutdown to now, was made as a result of understanding the
maintenance management backlog and a need to get Montara in a state
of reliable and consistent operational delivery. The long-term
value of the Montara Assets will likely be improved by the current
maintenance and inspection work.
Nam Du/U Minh (shallow water, offshore Vietnam)
The Company has expanded the Nam Du/U Minh project management
team and is progressing the FEED, FDP technical studies, and
negotiation of the pertinent commercial agreements, including the
life-of-field gas sales and purchase agreement. Jadestone
anticipates that this work will culminate in a final investment
decision in H2 2019.
Financial overview
Jadestone generated adjusted EBITDAX of US$11.9mm for the
quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to an adjusted EBITDAX
of US$0.3mm in the second quarter, and a negative EBITDAX of US$2.9
mm in the same period a year earlier.
On an unadjusted basis, the Company reported its maiden net
profit before tax of US$3.2mm, compared to a net loss before tax of
US$3.9mm in the prior quarter, and a net loss of US$3.6mm in the
third quarter of last year.
Both unadjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDAX were increased due
to higher average realised prices, higher lifted volumes during the
quarter, and lower per unit production costs.
Investing activities for the quarter amounted to a cash outflow
of US$134.5mm, which is primarily due to the Montara Asset
acquisition. This was more than offset by the US$185.8mm of net
cash from financing activities arising from the US$110mm new equity
issued in conjunction with the AIM admission, and the new
US$120.0mm reserve based loan.
At the end of the quarter, the Company had US$45.7mm cash, plus
a further US$28.6mm of debt service reserve cash and other
restricted cash.

Cautionary statements
A barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") is determined by converting a
volume of natural gas to barrels using the ratios of six thousand
cubic feet ("mcf") to one barrel. Boes may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6
mcf:1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a
value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based
on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is
significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1,
utilising a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an
indication of value.
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking
statements and information (collectively "forward-looking
statements"), within the meaning of the applicable Canadian
securities legislation, as well as other applicable international
securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this
press release are forward-looking and not historical facts.
Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by
statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations,
beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or
performance (often, but not always, through the use of phrases such
as "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is

"guidance", "objective", "projection", "aim", "goals", "target",
"schedules", and "outlook").
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release
include, but are not limited to statements regarding the restart of
Montara production, transfer of Montara operatorship, timing of the
Stag infill well, and final investment decision for Nam Du/U

Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should
not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By
their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements (the
"Financial Statements") are prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial
Reporting, on a going concern basis under the historical cost
convention. They do not contain all disclosures required by
International Financial Reporting Standards for annual financial
statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with
Jadestone's audited consolidated financial statements for the
period ended December 31, 2017.
These Financial Statements were approved for issuance by the
Company's Board of Directors on November 28, 2018 on the
recommendation of the Audit Committee.
Basis of measurement
These Financial Statements have been prepared on an historical
cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as
financial instruments at fair value, which are stated at their fair
values. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared
using the accrual basis of accounting.
Jadestone Energy Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
New Financial Reporting Standards adopted
Information on the implementation of new accounting standards is
included in the Company's audited financial statements for the
period ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies - Basis of Preparation), and also as outlined
below:
The group has applied the following standards and amendments for
the first time with effect from January 1, 2018.
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 provides a classification and measurement approach for
financial assets and liabilities based on the business model on
which they are managed and the cash flows associated with each
financial asset or liability. Under the standard, financial assets
are classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through
the profit and loss, or fair value through other comprehensive
income. For financial liabilities, the classifications of IAS 39
were largely unchanged. While the Group's financial assets have
been reclassified into the categories defined by IFRS 9, the Group
has not identified any impacts on the measurement of its financial
assets and liabilities as a result of the new classification and
measurement requirements.
The impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost
are recognised on an expected loss basis based on future credit
risk information and assumptions. Movements in the expected loss
reserve are recognised in the income statement. Due to the short
term nature and quality of the financial assets, the company has
not recognised any impacts since the adoption of IFRS 9.
For hedge accounting, the Company has adopted and applied the
policy described below. There were no hedge contracts in place
prior to January 1, 2018, and no prior period adjustments are
required since adopting IFRS 9.
Hedge accounting
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as
either:
- Fair value hedges where they hedge the exposure to changes in
the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or
- Cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure to variability in
cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly
probable forecasted transaction.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally
designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes
to apply hedge accounting, along with the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes
identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or
transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the
entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging
instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in
the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the
hedged risk. To achieve hedge accounting, the relationships must be
expected to be highly effective and are assessed on an ongoing
basis, to determine that they continue to meet the risk management
objective.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument
expires, is sold, terminates, is exercised, or no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or
loss on the hedging instrument recognised in Other Comprehensive
Income (OCI) remains in hedge reserve until the forecasted
transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected
to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is
transferred to profit or loss for the year.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments
that are classified as cash flow hedges, is recognised in OCI,
while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the
income statement. The ineffective portion relating to commodity
contracts is recognised in other operating income or expenses.
Jadestone Energy Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
Amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to profit or loss when
the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the
hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when
a forecast sale occurs.
IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers
The group has adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers from January 1, 2018. Revenue is recognised from customer
contracts when performance obligations are satisfied through the
transfer of goods or services. The good or service is deemed to
have been performed when the customer takes control of that good or
service.
The transfer of control of oil and gas commodities sold by the
group occurs when title passes with the customer taking physical
possession at which time the contractual obligations are fulfilled.
The accounting for revenue under IFRS 15 does not, therefore
represent a change from the Group's previous practice of
recognising revenue from sales contracts with customers.

11. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of Montara Assets
On September 28, 2018, Jadestone Energy (Eagle) Ltd, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, closed the acquisition of 100% of
the Montara Assets.
The US$149.1 million consideration comprised US$133.1 million in
cash and US$16.0 million in future contingent payments. The
contingent payments are based on the average annual Brent crude
price exceeding US$80.0/bbl in one or both of 2019 and 2020, and
are accounted for at fair value. The earliest potential payment is
January 2020.
The fair value assessment of the Montara identifiable assets and
liabilities, acquired as at the date of acquisition, have been
reviewed in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Details
of the Group's accounting policies in relation to Business
Combinations are contained in Note 2, Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies - Basis of Preparations, in the audited
financials statements for the period ended December 31, 2017.
The fair value of the assets acquired have been calculated using
valuation techniques based on discounted cashflows, using forward
curve commodity prices, a discount rate based on market observable
data, and cost and production profiles.
The amounts are estimates made by management at the time of
preparation of these financial statements. Amendments may be made
to these amounts as values subject to estimate are finalised.
From the date of acquisition, September 28, 2018, Montara
recorded a net loss after tax of US$1.5 million including one-off
project fees associated with the acquisition of US$1.7 million, and
operating expenses of US$0.3 million, offset by tax credits of
US$0.5 million. No revenues were recognised in the period as the
first lifting occurred in October 2018.
The corporate cost associated with the acquisition amounted to
US$7.8 million, and has been expensed to other expenses in the
consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive
income.
The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities of the Montara field as at the acquisition date

The total expense arising from share-based payment recognized
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was US$0.4 million
(nine months ended September 30, 2017: US$0.4 million).
On August 19, 2015, the Company adopted, as approved by
shareholders, a stock incentive plan (the "Plan") which establishes
a rolling number of shares issuable under the plan in the amount of
10% of the Company's issued shares at the date of grant. Under the
terms of the Plan, the exercise price of each option granted cannot
be less than the market price at the date of grant, or such other
price as may be required by TSX-V. Options under the plan can have
a term of up to 10 years, with vesting provisions determined by the
directors in accordance with TSX-V policies for Tier 2 Issuers.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following
assumptions, was used to estimate the fair value of the following
options granted during the nine months to September 30, 2018:

Jadestone Energy Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
The Group's asset restoration obligations ("ARO") result from
the future costs of decommissioning the Stag oilfield facilities
and Montara assets which are expected to be incurred up to 2034 and
2031. The balance of the provision is the discounted present value
of the estimated future cost.
The present value of the ARO has been calculated based on the
blended estimated Australian and United States risk free rate
of
2.86% (Australian risk free rate of 2.67% and United States risk
free rate of 3.05%) and after allowing for an inflation rate of
2.25% as at September 30, 2018.

Included in other payables is US$15.8 million related to the
potential contingent payments that could crystallise at Montara.
The Company has reviewed and assessed all of the contingent
payments and determined that the following two payments could
crystallise:
a) Annual average Brent crude price exceeding US$80/bbl in 2019:
US$20.0 million
b) Annual average Brent crude price exceeding US$80/bbl in 2020:
US$10.0 million
The fair value has been reviewed and assessed using a monti
carlo simulation model, determining a fair value of US$15.8 million
for the two payments 2019: US$10.8 million and 2020: US$5.0
million.

27. BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Jadestone, like all companies in the oil and gas industry,
operates in an environment subject to inherent risks. Many of those
risks are beyond the ability of a company's control, including
those associated with exploring for, developing and producing
economic quantities of hydrocarbons, volatile commodity prices,
governmental regulations and environmental matters.
Jadestone Energy Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
For detailed analysis on how the company manages these risks,
see the Company's annual financial statements, December 31, 2017.
The Company has processes and systems in place designed to identify
the principal risks of the business and establish what it considers
reasonable mitigation strategies wherever possible. The Company's
operational and environmental risks have not materially changed
since December 31, 2017, which were detailed in the Company's
Annual Report and MD&A for the period year ended December 31,
2017.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange
rates between US$ and foreign currencies will affect the fair value
or future cash flows of the Company's financial assets or
liabilities.
Cash and bank balances are generally held in the currency of
likely future expenditures to minimise the impact of currency
fluctuations. It is the Company's normal practice to hold the
majority of funds in US$ in order to match the Group's revenue and
expenditures. The Company reserve based lending facility is US$
denominated.
In addition to US$, the Company transacts in various currencies,
including Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars,
Indonesian Rupiah, Vietnamese Dong, and Malaysian Ringgit. No
sensitivity analysis has been prepared for carrying amounts of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in these foreign
currencies as the Company does not expect any material effect
arising from reasonably possible changes to the exchange rate for
these foreign currencies.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future
cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the
risk of changes in market interest rates primarily due to the
Company's long term debt obligations with rates that are fixed to
LIBOR.
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the
Company's exposure to an interest rate movement assuming the net
debt at the period end has been outstanding for the full year.
Jadestone Energy Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018
For gross debt outstanding of US$120.0 million at September 30,
2018, if interest rates had increased or decreased by 1% and all
other variables remained constant, the Company's quarterly net
income/(loss) would have increased or decreased by US$0.2 million
(2017: nil).
Commodity price risk
The Group's earnings are affected by changes in oil and gas
prices. The Group manages this risk by monitoring oil and gas
prices and entering into commodity hedges against fluctuations in
oil prices if considered appropriate. As at September 30, 2018, the
Group had entered into a commodity hedge to hedge 350,000 bbls of
crude oil production, over the period January 2, 2018 to June 30,
2018 at Brent ICE crude fixed at US$64.60/bbl and another 350,000
bbls oil hedge, over the period July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018,
at Brent ICE crude fixed at US$65.00/bbl.
As part of the Montara acquisition, the Company has hedged 50%
of 2PD planned production volumes for the 24 months to September
2020. The hedge is a capped swap, providing downside price
protection while allowing for participation in higher commodity
prices via purchased call options. The call strike is set at
US$80/bbl in 2019 and US$85/bbl for the first three quarters of
2020. The swap price is set at US$78.26/bbl for Q4 2018,
US$71.72/bbl for 2019 and US$68.45/bbl for the nine months to
September 2020. Approximately two thirds of the swapped barrels in
2019 and 2020 have upside price participation via purchased calls.
The effective date of the hedge contracts is October 1, 2018, and
hence there are no financial impacts reflected in the Q3 2018
financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the loss on
cash flow hedges recognised in the statement of other comprehensive
income amounted to net of tax of US$2.0 million and the loss on
cash flow hedges recognised in the income statement amounted to net
of tax of US$4.6 million. As at September 30, 2018 the financial
liability of the cash flow hedge amounted to US$4.9 million.
Commodity Price Sensitivity
The results of operations and cash flows of oil and gas
production can vary significantly with fluctuations in the market
prices of oil and/or natural gas. These are affected by factors
outside the Group's control, including the market forces of supply
and demand, regulatory and political actions of governments, and
attempts of international cartels to control or influence prices,
among a range of other factors.
The table below summarises the impact on profit/(loss) before
tax, and on equity, from changes in commodity prices on the fair
value of derivative financial instruments. The analysis is based on
the assumption that the crude oil price moves 10%, with all other
variables held constant. Reasonably possible movements in commodity
prices were determined based on a review of recent historical
prices and current economic forecasters' estimates.

Liquidity risk
The company has reduced the loss after tax for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2018 by US$10.7 million compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net cash from/(used in)
operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30,
2018 is US$14.7 million compared to US$14.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. The company's net current assets
as at September 30, 2018 are US$42.5.5 million (December, 2017:
US$13.1 million). The increase is predominately due to the
acquisition of Montara.
The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into
relevant maturity groupings at the reporting date, based on the
remaining period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts
disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
Balances due are equal to their carrying balances, as the impact of
discounting is not significant. The maturity profile is:
