("RockRose" or "the Company")
Interim Results
RockRose Energy PLC ("RockRose" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce to announce its interim results for the six months ended
30 June 2017.
Chairman's Statement
A fundraise of GBP8million gross was completed on the 6(th) July
2017 (after the interim balance sheet date), underpinning the
continued development of the company in its stated strategy of
pursuing targeted acquisitions to create a scalable energy business
with a capital efficiency that is able to deliver shareholder
returns in a low oil price environment. Having reviewed numerous
opportunities within the market to enhance the company's position
in the UKCS and northern Europe we are convinced that now is the
optimum time in the exploration and production life cycle in these
areas for smaller niche companies like RockRose to acquire assets
from much larger companies for whom such assets are no longer
material.
The company is well placed to take its strategy forward given
the restatement by the government of their MER Strategy to Maximise
the Economic Recovery of oil in the North Sea. We are also
encouraged by the statements from the Minister and the head of the
Oil and Gas Authority that the overall cost of decommissioning in
the North Sea is targeted to be reduced by some 35% (OGA - UKCS
Decommissioning 2017 Cost Estimate Report). This has recently been
reinforced by the Chancellor Philip Hammond in his speech on the
25(th) September, with the stated intention "to extract every
possible last commercially-viable molecule from the basin".
The company is working towards completing the previously
reported Maersk, Sojitz and Egerton transactions, which it is
looking to complete early in Q4 of 2017. It is also advancing other
transactions that will enable RockRose to become a significant
producer in the region.
At the end of the period and prior to the fund raise the Total
Assets for the company stood at GBP2,524,281.
The Risks and Uncertainties are unchanged from the last
reporting period and are described in detail in our annual report
for 2016.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2017
1 General information
Rockrose Energy Plc ('the company') has been formed to make
acquisitions of companies or businesses in the upstream oil and gas
and power sector.
The company is a public limited company incorporated on 1 July
2015, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and incorporated
and domiciled in the UK. The address of its registered office is
Dashwood House, 69 Old Broad Street, London.
These condensed interim financial statements were approved for
issue on 28(th) September 2017.
These condensed interim financial statements do not comprise
statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the
Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2016 were approved by the board of directors on 31 March
2017 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the
auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an
emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement
under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
These condensed interim financial statements have not been
reviewed nor audited.
2 Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting', as
adopted by the European Union. The condensed interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European
Union.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiary for the six months
ended 30 June 2017. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the
group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through
its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred to the group.
Going concern
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis. With the successful
fundraise post the balance sheet date the directors are satisfied
that the company has sufficient resources to continue in operation
for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than twelve months
from the date of this report. Accordingly they continue to adopt
the going concern basis in preparing the interim condensed
financial statements.
Segment reporting
In the opinion of the directors the operations of the company
represent one segment, and are treated as such, when evaluating its
performance. The chief operating decision maker is the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors reviews management accounts
prepared for the company when assessing performance.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2017
3 Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these condensed financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of
the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2016.
A number of amendments to IFRSs became effective for the
financial year beginning on 1 January 2017 however the group did
not have to change its accounting policies or make material
retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these new
standards.
4 Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the company's
accounting policies and the key accounting estimates are the
accruals and going concern evaluation. Other than the evaluation of
going concern and accruals, the company's financial statements do
not contain any significant accounting estimates.
5 Financial risk management
As at 30 June 2017 the company's financial instruments consisted
of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade
and other payables including accrued liabilities. With respect to
all of these financial instruments, the company estimates that
their fair values approximate their carrying values at 30 June 2017
based on the nature of those instruments.
The company's risk exposures and impact on the company's
financial instruments are summarised below:
Credit risk
The company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash,
which is held in Metro Bank.
Market risk
(a) Interest rate risk
Cash balances do not generate material amounts of interest.
There are no other interest bearing financial instruments therefore
the company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2017
5 Financial risk management (continued)
Market risk (continued)
(b) Foreign currency risk
All the balances as of 30 June 2017 and the transactions for the
six month period then ended were denominated in UK GBP which is the
company's functional and presentation currency. The company is
therefore not exposed to foreign currency risk.
Capital management
The capital of the company is represented by the net assets
attributable to holders of ordinary shares. The company's objective
when managing capital is to safeguard the company's ability to
continue as a going concern and fund development, in order to
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other
stakeholders. The company has not paid dividends, nor returned
capital to the shareholder to date. The company is not subject to
externally imposed capital requirements.
6 Administrative expenses
These include salaries and directors fees, periodic listing
fees, printing, advertising and distribution costs and professional
advisory fees, including legal fees, any other applicable expenses
and office overheads.
