Chairman's Report
When I wrote my update to accompany the 2016 Annual Report,
Nostra Terra was still in the early stages of embedding its new
strategy. The price of oil was consolidating and signs of recovery
across the industry were in sight.
Twelve months later and the sector has rebounded strongly.
Thanks to our efforts in 2016, Nostra Terra was well positioned to
benefit greatly from this. The Company has since taken significant
steps forward in realising its ambitions, delivering robust returns
for shareholders.
Our strategic focus switched in 2016 to repositioning our
portfolio of assets with the goal of growing stable oil production
and reserves, which would be profitable at $30/bbl. In particular
we sought to acquire leases, which were Held By Production (HBP).
This ideally suited Nostra Terra because it meant we could control
the pace of development of these assets, as conditions and our
finances allowed.
In early 2017 we completed our second acquisition in the Permian
Basin, Texas, and by April had increased the Company's current
proven reserves (1P) in the US to 522,000 barrels. As stated a year
ago, these reported reserves were bankable and laid the foundation
to enabling Nostra Terra to gain access to the working capital
required to grow long term oil production.
To that end, Nostra Terra raised GBP500,000 in a placing in late
April 2017 and in September secured a hedging facility for future
oil production with BP Energy Company. This was a significant leap
forward for Nostra Terra and provided a ringing endorsement of the
success of our new strategy. Perhaps more importantly it better
positioned the Company to access non-dilutive working capital to
fund future growth.
By the end of 2017 we were able to report we were in advanced
discussions with a number of lenders. Eight days after the period
ended, we finalised terms of a $5 million Senior Lending Facility
with Washington Federal Bank, at an initial interest rate of 4.75%
with an initial borrowing base of $1.2 million.
Operationally, the introduction of new funds has meant a great
deal to the business and has already yielded tangible results. In
October we completed our third acquisition in the Permian Basin and
by the middle of November started drilling the first new well on
this lease, the Twin Well.
We were subsequently able to put the Twin Well into production,
a significant contributor to Nostra Terra becoming cash flow
positive at the plc level, another major milestone for the
Company.
In other areas, we have continued to work hard.
With respect to our investment in Magnolia Petroleum, we
identified an opportunity where we believed our involvement would
add significant value both to that company and to Nostra Terra. In
response to the requisition for a General Meeting to seek change to
Magnolia's board, Magnolia's existing directors chose to complete a
highly dilutive deal, which we believe added precious little in
terms of value to that company and was unfortunate for Magnolia's
shareholders. We exited our position at a profit.
In Egypt we increased our stake in the East Ghazalat concession
to 50%, having acquired Echo Energy's (AIM:ECHO) 25% stake for a
$500,000 consideration payable only upon certain approvals and
production hurdles. For minimal outlay we will increase Nostra
Terra's assets to just over 1 million barrels of 2P Reserves.
We have continued to engage positively with various stakeholders
in Egypt, and remain highly enthusiastic about the potential, but
our first task has to be to resolve the legacy dispute with North
Petroleum ("North"), the operator, which governs East Ghazalat, and
the case has now been referred to international arbitration.
In summary, I believe the future looks very bright for Nostra
Terra. We have delivered on our promise to build secure, long-term,
profitable production. We are now cash flow positive at the plc
level and have access to significant working capital, fundamental
attributes that are rarely found in companies on AIM or of our
size. Now that we have put in place such a solid foundation our
intention is to build on this through further acquisitions and
organic growth. I would like to thank our shareholders for their
continued support and look forward to reporting more progress in
future.

Chief Executive Officer's Report
Our primary goal in 2017 was to become cash flow positive at the
plc level. It took us two months longer than I had hoped, but we
hit this target in February 2018. This is perhaps our most
significant achievement to date and positions Nostra Terra for
exciting growth ahead, as we seek to introduce larger assets to the
Company with much more potential upside.
Revenues for the year were GBP1,128,000 an increase of 300% from
2016. Loss for the year was GBP1,044,000. In April 2017 the Company
raised GBP500,000 through an equity placing at 2 pence per share.
Included in this were 1 for 1 warrants, exercisable within 12
months at 3 pence per share. Nearly all of the warrants were
exercised by April 2018, raising an additional GBP738,000 for the
Company.
Moving forward we will certainly seek to build on this success,
through further drilling across our existing portfolio of assets.
However, now that we are in a much more secure position
financially, with a stronger balance sheet, we can also afford to
explore a more ambitious acquisition plan. If successful this
change in approach could significantly increase Nostra Terra's
growth trajectory.
My vision has always been to build a much larger company, built
on solid fundamentals. The first phase of this plan is now complete
and I am excited about the next phase ahead.
United States
Pine Mills, Texas
Having secured our initial stake (80% working interest) in the
Pine Mills oil field in late 2016, our operations team made an
immediate impact. By the turn of the year we were able to report
two consecutive months of profitable oil production at Pine Mills
and have sustained that record every month since. Furthermore, Pine
Mills has provided us with such stable and consistent excess cash
flow that it has become the cornerstone of our turnaround
strategy.
This very much confirms our original basis for acquiring Pine
Mills and the subsequent strategic efforts we expended in the first
half of 2017 to secure 100% of the asset. Subsequently, we were
able to include all revenues generated at Pine Mills in 2017 in our
reported figures.
Due to the stable production at Pine Mills and the performance
of our operational team, in September 2017 we secured a hedging
facility with BP Energy Company. This was a significant achievement
for a company of Nostra Terra's size and marked a turning point for
the Company.
To secure the hedging facility we underwent a vigorous due
diligence process. We were able to demonstrate an established track
record of consistent production and the viability of our long-term
model consolidating efforts made in the first half of 2017.
Permian Basin, Texas
Having secured the hedging facility, we were confident we would
be able to obtain a new Senior Lending Facility. Initial
discussions with a number of banks went well and this gave us
confidence to press ahead with the third acquisition in the Permian
Basin, where we would drill the Twin Well. This acquisition, in
late October 2017, marked another step change in our delivery.
Prior to the acquisition, the neighbouring operator
inadvertently drilled a well into the lease, which produced 350
barrels of oil in less than three days. Because of this error the
neighbouring operator had to plug and abandon its well and was
required to provide us with the well data.
It has since produced at a strong rate above 50bopd. From
permitting to getting paid took less than four months.
We now have approximately 22 drill ready locations across our
existing Permian Basin assets. Assuming we are able to continue
growing production here, it is clear there is potential to increase
significantly underlying value.
We retain interest and receive revenues from additional assets
located in Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming. These are not
substantial and are considered non-core assets.
Egypt
While we've made positive inroads in the country with the
Government and local contact, unfortunately we have not been able
to find a solution to the legacy issues with the Concession's
operator, North Petroleum ("North"), and the case has now been
referred to international arbitration.
We have been proactive in suggesting solutions to the issues
raised, and sought positive resolutions. Nevertheless, Nostra Terra
will now defend its position rigorously.
Senior Lending Facility
At the beginning of 2017 we secured a new $5 million Senior
Lending Facility. The initial borrowing base was $1.2 million at a
4.75% interest rate. The facility will be reviewed at least twice a
year, meaning the borrowing base can increase or decrease based on
changes in production, reserves, cash flow and commodity prices.
With the progress we have made increasing production at Pine Mills,
across our Permian Basin assets, and the considerable improvement
in the oil price, Nostra Terra is well positioned to accelerate its
growth.
Outlook
With oil sector strength and Nostra Terra cash flow positive at
the plc level, this is a most exciting time to be involved in the
business. We already have a number of potential catalysts to rerate
the business in our asset portfolio and are extremely well
positioned to raise our sights in terms of new acquisitions. We are
an attractive company to work with for potential targets and the
Washington Federal Senior Lending Facility provides us with a great
deal of balance sheet support.
I would like to finish by thanking our shareholders for their
support and I look forward to providing more updates as we continue
to grow the Company.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on
earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the year. 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 had two classes of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being
those share options granted to employees and suppliers where the
exercise price is less than the average market price of the Group's
ordinary shares during the year, and warrants granted to directors
and one former adviser.
Details of the adjusted earnings per share are set out
below:
2017 2016
-------------------------------------------------------- ----------
EPS - loss
Loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
(GBP000) (1,044) (2,891)
Weighted average number of shares 113,850,132 84,623,219
------------------------------------------- ----------- ----------
Continued operations:
Basic and diluted EPS - loss (pence) (0.918) (3.416)
------------------------------------------- ----------- ----------
The diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per
share as the loss for the year has an anti-dilutive effect.
