Directors' Report
We are pleased to present the Global Interim Financial Report
for the half year ended 31 December 2016.
Oil prices increased in the latter part of 2016, with the Brent
price averaging US$47 per barrel over the reporting period.
The Company's Petroleum Exploration Licence covering two blocks,
1910B and 2010A in the Walvis Basin Offshore Namibia, was extended
in December 2015 into Phase 2, which is for a duration of 24 months
with a reduced Minimum Work Programme. In place of the previous
well commitment in Phase 2, the Company undertook to reprocess and
re-interpret previously acquired 2D seismic data and to shoot 800
kilometres of new 2D. To this end the Company's technical team has
evaluated reprocessed 2D seismic data from the 1990s and also
reprocessed speculative 2D seismic data shot over its blocks in
2011/12 by seismic company TGS, both of which were purchased in
2016. The evaluation of this data has proven to be very encouraging
with regard to the hydrocarbon potential in Global's blocks.
Notably the work has increased confidence in a syn-rift oil play in
the outboard or deep water region offshore Namibia and the likely
presence of both reservoir and source within the Company's blocks.
Combined with the existing prospect portfolio within the blocks,
this has improved Global's view on the overall prospectivity of its
acreage. Towards the end of 2016, the Company invited tenders for
the new infill 2D seismic survey, and these tenders are currently
being evaluated.
The Company previously announced that environmental decrees had
been published by the Italian authorities in relation to two of the
Company's four offshore permit applications (d 82 F.R-GP and d 83
F.R-GP). The Company was informed in December 2016 that relevant
local authorities had appealed against the two environmental
decrees. After the end of the reporting period, Global was informed
that a further six appeals had been launched against the
environmental decrees by a mixture of local urban authorities and
special interest groups. The Company will take the necessary steps
to oppose all of the appeals. The Company understands that local
authorities have recently appealed against other environmental
decrees in the Southern Adriatic, and that such appeals have been
rejected by the competent legal tribunal.
Financial
During the half year ended 31 December 2016, the Group recorded
a loss after tax of US$957,681 (31 December 2015: loss
US$1,287,728). Cash balances at 31 December 2016 amounted to
US$8,922,223 (30 June 2016: US$10,172,598). The Group has no
debt.
Strategy and Outlook
The ability to raise the finance necessary for funding asset
development following an acquisition has remained challenging in
the context of the relative slump in the commodity price since
2014. However, oil prices increased in the latter part of 2016, and
market conditions for E&P financings have shown some
improvement recently.
Consistent with its previously announced strategy, over the
course of the reporting period the Company has continued to engage
with counterparties holding appropriate assets. Global remains in a
strong cash position in comparison to many of its peers, and the
Company remains confident of making a key investment in due
course.

1. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Namibian Project
The Namibian Project consists of an 85% participating interest
in Petroleum Exploration Licence Number 29 ("Licence") covering
Offshore Blocks 1910B and 2010A in the Republic of Namibia. The
Licence, issued on 3 December 2010, originally covered 11,730
square kilometres and is located offshore Namibia in water depths
ranging from 1,300 metres to 3,000 metres (Refer Figure 1). The
Initial Exploration Period of the Licence expired in December 2014,
and Global fulfilled its corresponding work obligations
approximately halfway through the initial four year term. The
Company agreed with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy
("MME") a 12 month extension of the Initial Exploration Period to
December 2015, on the basis of an agreed work programme which
entailed further interpretation work on existing seismic data.
In December 2015, the Company entered into the First Renewal
Exploration Period (Phase 2) of the Licence, making a mandatory
relinquishment of 50% of the Licence Area. Phase 2 is for a
duration of 24 months with a reduced Minimum Work Programme which
does not now contain a well commitment. Instead, the Company has
undertaken to reprocess and re-interpret previously acquired 2D
seismic data and to shoot 800 kilometres of new 2D. To this end the
Company's technical team has evaluated reprocessed 2D seismic data
from the 1990s which was purchased in 2016, and has recently taken
delivery of reprocessed speculative 2D seismic data shot over its
blocks in 2011/12 by the seismic company, TGS. Work on the seismic
continues to be very encouraging with regard to the hydrocarbon
potential in Global's blocks. Notably the work has increased
confidence in a syn-rift oil play in the outboard or deep water
region offshore Namibia and the likely presence of both reservoir
and source within the Company's blocks. Combined with the existing
prospect portfolio within the blocks, this has improved Global's
view on the overall prospectivity of the acreage. During the
reporting period, the Company invited tenders for the new infill 2D
seismic survey, and these tenders are currently being
evaluated.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Jupiter Petroleum
(Namibia) Limited, remains operator with an 85% interest in the two
blocks, with partners NAMCOR and Bronze Investments Pty Ltd holding
10% and 5% respectively, both as carried interests.

Permit Applications in the Southern Adriatic, Offshore Italy
In August 2013, the Company submitted an application and
proposed work programme and budget to the Italian Ministry of
Economic Development for four exploration areas offshore Italy (the
"Permit Applications" - Figure 2). The Permit Applications were
then published on 30 September 2013 in the Official Bulletin
allowing other competitive bids to be made over the subsequent
three months. In accordance with Italian offshore regulations,
Global subsequently submitted the relevant documentation to the
respective authorities in relation to environmental requirements,
and in connection with the satisfaction of certain technical and
financial requirements. The Company was subsequently informed that
it had duly satisfied the technical/financial requirements. The
Company has previously announced that environmental decrees have
been published by the Italian authorities in relation to two of the
Company's four applications (d 82 F.R-GP and d 83 F.R -GP). In
December 2016, the Company was informed that relevant local
authorities had appealed against these two environmental decrees.
The Regional Authority, Puglia, appealed against both environmental
decrees and the town of Ostuni appealed against d 82 F.R-GP. The
Company has opposed the three appeals by filing a response with the
competent legal tribunal. After the end of the reporting period,
Global was informed that a further six appeals had been launched
against the two environmental decrees by a mixture of local urban
authorities and special interest groups. The Company will also take
the necessary steps to oppose all of the further appeals. The
Company understands that similar appeals were recently made against
environmental decrees granted to other companies in the Southern
Adriatic, and that all such appeals were rejected by the competent
legal tribunal.
http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/3717Z_1-2017-3-14.pdf
The Southern Adriatic and adjacent areas continue to be the
focus of industry activity. Within the Italian Southern Adriatic
for example, seismic acquisition companies are planning to run
large multi-client 2D acquisition programmes. Recent licensing
rounds in neighbouring countries have attracted the interest of
large companies.
In Montenegro, offshore concessions have very recently been
awarded to Marathon, OMV and Eni, with these companies also having
been awarded offshore licences in Croatia. In Albania, an onshore
licensing round has concluded, with several applicants. Shell have
operated with some success in Albania exploring and developing
fields with similar geological characteristics to those encountered
offshore in the Southern Adriatic.
In Greece, there has been a major offshore licensing round off
the west coast of the country, and also to the south of Crete. This
has followed a major multi-client seismic survey in the area. The
offshore Katakolon field, which has similar geology to the Southern
Adriatic area, has had a field development plan prepared by the
operator.
Business Development
The ability to raise the finance necessary for funding asset
development following an acquisition has remained challenging in
the context of the relative slump in the commodity price since
2014. However, oil prices increased in the latter part of 2016, and
market conditions for E&P financings have shown some
improvement recently.
Global remains in a strong cash position in comparison to many
of its peers, and is thus well placed to fund work activity on its
Namibian acreage, its Italian application interests (subject to
award), and to implement a change of focus through acquisition. We
have continued over the latter period to engage with counterparties
holding appropriate assets, and remain confident of making a key
investment in due course.

Discretionary grant of shares
On 26 August 2016, the Company made a discretionary grant of
shares, following shareholder approval at the AGM on 17 November
2015, to the directors. 838,842 ordinary shares were issued for no
consideration.
This share grant was accounted for as a share based payment and
this resulted in US$22,348 being recognised as an expense in the
half year period. (31 Dec 2015: US$16,357 was recognised as an
expense arising from shares granted during the prior half year
period.)

8. CAPITAL AND JOINT VENTURE COMMITMENTS
8.1 Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration
tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration
work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by
various foreign governments where exploration tenements are held.
These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for
a tenement is made and at other times. These obligations are not
provided for in the financial statements. Financial commitments for
subsequent periods can only be determined at future dates, as the
success or otherwise of exploration programmes determines courses
of action allowed under options available in tenements.
8.2 Joint venture commitments
On 26 August 2011, the Group acquired Jupiter Petroleum Limited
("Jupiter") which holds prospective oil and gas exploration
interests in offshore Namibia. In order to maintain current rights
of tenure to the exploration licences, Global is required to
perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure
requirements specified in the Namibian Petroleum Exploration
Agreement. The obligations include:
(a) First Renewal Exploration Period (Two years from 4 December 2015 to 3 December 2017):
The Ministry of Mines and Energy agreed a 2 year renewal period
to run until 3 December 2017. They also agreed a 50% relinquishment
of the licence area. Minimum exploration expenditure for the First
Renewal Exploration Period:
-- The reprocessing of existing 2D seismic lines across that
portion of the Licence Area which is retained following the
mandatory 50% relinquishment. This was completed during the second
and third quarter of 2016.
-- Acquisition of 800km of long offset 2D over the retained
acreage. The reprocessed existing 2D data will be used to assist
with the design and location of the new survey. The Company has
invited tenders for the new 2D seismic survey, and these tenders
are currently being evaluated.
(b) Second Renewal Period (Two years from 4 December 2017):
-- Acquisition, processing and interpretation of additional
