ROCKROSE ENERGY PLC
("RockRose" or "the Company")
Unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2018
RockRose Energy PLC ("RockRose" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2018.
Chairman's Statement
Your Company continues to make strong progress and is in the
process of completing two further acquisitions, which will more
than double current production to over 11,000 boepd. All conditions
precedent for the Dyas acquisition have now been satisfied. We
continue to benefit from rising hydrocarbon prices. We are also
observing an increase in the economic life of the portfolio with
dates for decommissioning being delayed in line with the
government's MER strategy. The Company sees the cash cost of
decommissioning averaging around 20-25% of annual EBITDA for the
next five years at current hydrocarbon prices.
We look forward to working with our new partners in the Arran
development to bring this discovery on stream and benefiting from
the impact of production and reserves from Arran on RockRose
Energy's production profile, ensuring current production is
exceeded or maintained until at least 2025.

Operational and Financial Update
Ø Strong revenue of $66.7m with average realised oil price of
$72.85/bbl and gas price of $44.64/boe
Ø Average production of 5,176 boepd of which 444 boepd relates
to gas production. (1H 2017: 0 boepd)
Ø Combined production (including Dyas B.V) in excess of 11,000
boepd for the period
Ø Return to shareholders of $31.5m (GBP23m (GBP1.50per share))
to shareholders in February 2018
Ø Payment of $13m refundable deposit for the Dyas BV acquisition
is included in the period results
Ø Cash at Bank as at the date of this announcement is $108m, of
which $52m is restricted.
Outlook
Ø Dyas acquisition - On 24(th) May the Group signed a Sale &
Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire 100% of the issued share
capital of Dyas B.V., and its subsidiary Dyas Infrastructure, which
have various non-operated interests in producing fields in the
Dutch sector of the North Sea and onshore Netherlands. Total
consideration is EUR107 million. A refundable deposit of EUR10.7
million ($13 million) was paid on signing the SPA. All Conditions
Precedent have now been met and completion will occur on 1(st)
October.
Ø The effective date of the Dyas acquisition is 1(st) January
2018, and assuming the acquisition had taken place on this date,
forecast production for the 12 months ending 31(st) December 2018
would be circa 11,000 boepd of which 50% is oil and 50% is gas.
Forecast EBITDA would be expected to be in excess of $100 million
for the full year.
Ø Arran acquisition - On the 9(th) August the Company signed a
SPA to acquire a 20.43% interest in blocks, 23/11a, 23/16b and
23/16c, which contain the Arran field in the UK Central North Sea,
from Dana Petroleum for a nominal consideration. On 19(th)
September, RockRose further to the SPA, has signed an Equity
Realignment Letter Agreement on Arran that takes the Company's
interest to 30.43%. The acquisition adds a further 8.5 mmboe 2P
reserves to the Group and 5,200 boepd of initial production post
development. The acquisition is subject to OGA approval and
assuming approval is granted the completion is expected to occur by
the end of September.
Ø Tain development - The Group has commissioned ERC Equipoise to
evaluate both the existing upside potential within the Blake field
(30.82%) and, the nearby Tain satellite discovery (50%). The
partners are committed to submitting an initial FDP by the end of
the year.
Ø Ross and Blake extension update - The Group has also
commissioned an independent report from Crondall Energy to review
the FPSO options on the Blake & Ross field. The scope is in two
parts; firstly looking at extending the life of the Bleo Holm
vessel which is operated by Repsol Sinopec, the company's joint
venture partner and then considering the alternative of replacing
the current vessel. The Bleo Holm is currently targeted to be on
station until 2024. This is being undertaken to extend the life of
the fields and give the opportunity to fully deliver other
discovered hydrocarbons in the area. An extension of the field life
of Blake and Ross to 2029 would increase reserves by circa 5.5mboe
net to RockRose from the existing well stock.
Operational review
Producing assets
The average net production in the six months to 30(th) June 2018
was 5,176 boepd of which 444 boepd was gas production. Actual
production was marginally below the budgeted annual production rate
of 5,250 boepd due to the timing of maintenance work in some of the
fields. However, this was more than offset by higher than budgeted
oil and gas prices with revenue 20% above budget.
Average operating expense per boe produced was $33.81 compared
to a budget of $32.60 due to increased operating costs as a result
of the earlier than planned maintenance work. It is expected that
full year operating expenditure will be in line with budget.
Financial review
The Group generated revenue of $66.7m in the first six months of
2018 with total sales of 945,982 boe realising an average oil price
of $72.85/bbl and gas price of $44.64/boe.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is considered by the Company to be a useful
additional measure to help understand underlying performance.
EBITDA for the first six months of 2018 was $21.2m (1H 2017:
$(2.4m)) and the profit after tax was $5.1m (1H 2017: $(2.4m
loss)). The adjustment to this figure relates to oil derivative
losses of $7.8m which have been recognised in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income due to the higher oil prices
than average hedged oil prices of $67.9 per barrel. Of the total
losses recognised, $1.3m relates to realised loss and $6.4m of
unrealised losses which could increase/decrease by the year end if
the oil price increases/decreases.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group has an established risk management reporting
framework, as detailed in the Group's 2017 Annual Report and
Accounts on page 4, which includes the requirement for all
businesses to identify, evaluate and monitor risks and take steps
to reduce, eliminate or manage the risk.
There are a number of principal risks that could have a material
impact on the Group's performance over the remaining six months of
the financial year and could cause actual results to differ
materially from expected and historical results.
Some of the risks that RockRose is exposed to, which could have
a material adverse impact on the Group, arise from the specific
activities undertaken by the Group, whereas other risks are common
to many exploration and production companies. The principal risks
are: reserves discovery, development and project delivery;
operational performance; commodity prices; decommissioning cost
estimates and timing; fluctuations in exchanges rates; and credit.
Details of those principal risks facing the Group are on pages 4 of
the Group's 2017 Annual Report and Accounts.
The Directors do not consider that the principal risks have
changed significantly since the publication of the 2017 Annual
Report and Accounts, and as such, these risks continue to apply to
the Group for the remaining six months of the financial year.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors confirm, to the best of their knowledge, that
these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union and that the
interim management report includes a fair review of the information
required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely:
-- an indication of important events that have occurred during
the period and their impact on the condensed set of financial
statements, and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the period; and
-- material related-party transactions in the period, and any
material changes in the related party transactions are described in
the annual report.
The directors believe that the interim results taken as a whole
are fair, balanced and understandable. In arriving at this
conclusion the Board considered the opinion and recommendation of
the Audit Committee who undertook the following work:
-- review of early drafts of the interim results;
-- regular review of and discussion over the financial results
during the period, including briefings by Group finance; and
-- receipt and review of a report from the external auditors.
The directors of the Company are listed on page 12 in the
Group's 2017 Annual Report and Accounts and on the Company's
website: www. rockroseenergy.com.

Independent review report to RockRose Energy plc
Report on the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed RockRose Energy plc's condensed consolidated
interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements")
in the interim results of RockRose Energy plc for the 6 month
period ended 30 June 2018. Based on our review, nothing has come to
our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial
statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim
Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
What we have reviewed
The interim financial statements comprise:
-- the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2018;
-- the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive
Income for the period then ended;
-- the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity for the period then ended;
-- the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows for the period then ended; and
-- the explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements included in the interim results
have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the
financial reporting framework that has been applied in the
preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is
applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the
review
Our responsibilities and those of the directors
The interim results, including the interim financial statements,
is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.
The directors are responsible for preparing the interim results in
accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules
sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim
financial statements in the interim results based on our review.
This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and
only for the company for the purpose of complying with the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We
do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility
for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is
shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed
by our prior consent in writing.
What a review of interim financial statements involves
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and,
consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would
become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in
an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We have read the other information contained in the interim
results and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the interim financial statements.

a) The maintenance and integrity of the RockRose Energy plc
website is the responsibility of the directors; the work carried
out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters
and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any
changes that may have occurred to the interim financial statements
since they were initially presented on the website.
b) Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2018
1. Principal accounting policies
General information
RockRose Energy PLC ('the Company' or together with its
subsidiaries, 'the Group') 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 England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is Dashwood House, 69 Old
Broad Street, London, EC2M 1QS.
Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2018 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 2017, which have been
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European
Union.
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 2017 were approved by the board of directors on 31 March
2018 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.
Going concern
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have
considered the application of the going concern basis of accounting
and are satisfied that for the foreseeable future the Group will
continue in operational existence and will have adequate resources
to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Directors continue to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these
condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated
interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in
the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2017.
A number of amendments to IFRSs became effective for the
financial year beginning on 1 January 2018 however the group did
not have to change its accounting policies or make material
retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these new
standards.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include
the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary for the
six months ended 30 June 2018. 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.
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.
Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated 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.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2018
1. Principal accounting policies (continued)
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the company's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2017.
.
Financial risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial
risks; market risk (including currency risk and price risk), credit
risk and liquidity risk.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not
include all financial risk management information and disclosures
required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in
conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31
December 2017.
There have been no changes in any risk management policies since
the year end.

The oil and gas assets consist of producing and development
assets and decommissioning assets in accordance with IAS 16
'Property, Plant and Equipment'.
The administrative assets consist of fixture and fittings,
computer equipment and leasehold improvements.
In assessing whether any impairment is required to the carrying
value of assets, their carrying value is compared with their
recoverable amount. The cash generating unit (CGU) assessed for
impairment is generally the field, or group of fields where these
are economically dependent. The recoverable amount is the higher of
the asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. No
indicators of impairment were identified for the Group's oil &
gas assets as at 30 June 2018.
