Chairman's Report
I am pleased to present Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company PLC's
annual report for the year ending 31 December 2020.
2020 has been a busy, sometimes challenging, but ultimately very
positive year for Nostra Terra.
Like the rest of the oil & gas industry, the Company was
faced with a very difficult oil price environment in the first half
of the year. West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") crude prices (the
price benchmark on which Nostra Terra's oil sales are based) fell
sharply in response to drop in demand caused by the Covid-19
pandemic. Added to this, the first quarter of the year saw the
Company involved in costly and time-consuming requisitions of
General Meetings. These twin threats to Nostra Terra are both now
behind us.
WTI prices rose steadily throughout 2020 but many of our peers
were badly, sometimes critically, affected by the major fall in
revenues. Nostra Terra responded to the oil price crash in two
ways: by rapidly reducing our operating and overhead costs by 60%,
versus the 2019 monthly average, in effect from 8 June 2020,
resulting in a 45% reduction period then by pursuing and securing
attractive assets at prices that reflected the depressed oil price
environment.
In March 2020, Ewen Ainsworth stepped down as chairman of Nostra
Terra after five years in the role. On behalf of the board, I would
like to thank Ewen for his valuable contribution to the
Company.
In April 2020, despite the very low WTI price at the time, we
were able to announce that Cypress Minerals LLC ("Cypress") had
farmed into a small area of our east Texan Pine Mills acreage and
would drill a well on which the Company would be carried for 25%.
This well was successfully drilled in Q4 2021, completed and
subsequently put into production with an IP rate of 100 bopd
(limited by local constraints) in January 2021.
In September 2020 we announced the acquisition of a 100% working
interest in the producing Caballos Creek Oil Field in southern
Texas. We also completed a farm-in to additional producing acreage
in the Permian Basin of west Texas. The farm-in structure provides
the Company with the option to increase its working interest to up
to 75% of all three leases covered by the agreement. We believe
these assets offer potential for substantial additional reserves
and oil production.
During the year the Company undertook two successful
fundraisings with our new corporate broker, Novum Securities. These
raised GBP818,055 before expenses and were used to fund Nostra
Terra's asset acquisition programme and working capital.
After the end of the reporting period Nostra Terra announced
that, with its partner Cypress, it was expanding its activities
outside our Pine Mills acreage having acquired additional leases;
the 'prospective area' in which we hold a 32.5% working interest. A
second well is also planned on the original acreage.
The combination of reduced overheads, increased production,
improved operational efficiency and steadily increasing oil prices
meant that we were able to announce in January 2021 that the
Company was cashflow positive.
Production was slightly down versus 2019 but given the
investment climate of the last year we are happy with performance.
Reserves are broadly stable but expected to increase once Caballos
Creek and the new Cypress well are considered.
Following the result of many months of effort, in April 2021 the
Company made public its progress in securing an interest in an oil
& gas property in Tunisia. The nature of this asset is such
that it will provide some portfolio balance to Nostra Terra's
existing Texan acreage.
I am happy to say that Nostra Terra is now in a much stronger
position than it was a year ago and that we can look forward to the
year ahead of us being another busy and productive one. I should
also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support
throughout the last year.

Chief Executive Officer's Report
2020 was a very challenging year for businesses around the
world, with oil & gas companies amongst the worst hit. Nostra
Terra went through many changes, repositioning the Company both at
the corporate and portfolio levels. We fought through the tough
times and our diligence and hard work bore fruit as we reached a
significant milestone, becoming cashflow positive at the corporate
level in December 2020, and being positioned for growth for years
to come.
During the beginning of the year, we made a lot of changes; both
organisational and operational. As oil prices dropped, we benefited
greatly from hedges that management put in place during 2019. We
went about making cost-cutting changes where possible to adapt to
the environment. This yielded a 45% reduction in overheads year on
year, but a 60% reduction in monthly overheads versus 2019 monthly
average.
While many companies were inactive, Nostra Terra drove forward
growing its portfolio and working on much larger opportunities on
the horizon. These include:
1. Farmout an undrilled portion of Pine Mills
2. Acquisition of 100% WI in Caballos Creek
3. Farm-in to an asset in the Permian Basin,
4. New potential opportunities in Tunisia, with assets that have tremendous upside.
Revenues for the year were $1,010,929 down from $1,795,000 in
2019, reflecting the significantly lower commodity price
environment (average $34.17 per barrel) and a small decline in
production from temporarily shutting in assets during that time.
Operating losses decreased significantly through a 44% reduction in
administrative expenses (despite one-off fees of approximately
$190,000 due to the requisitions at the beginning of the year).
During the year we raised an additional GBP818,055, through
professional and institutional investors, in order to strengthen
the balance sheet and progress development of our portfolio. The
Board continues to focus on its stated aim of remaining cashflow
positive for the year ended 2021.
United States
All of Nostra Terra's operations in the US target conventional
reservoirs (i.e., not shale), typically with lower lifting costs
and long-life reserves than unconventional ones.

* Asset acquired in September 2020.
East Texas (33- 100% Working Interest, "WI")
Nostra Terra's core asset is Pine Mills (100% WI) providing
stable production. Over the past years of ownership, the focus was
on performing low-cost workovers and upgrades, to increase
production as well as increase overall uptime, although the Company
continues to feel there is much more room for growth.
During 2020 Nostra Terra farmed out an undrilled portion of the
acreage to Cypress LLC, retaining a 32.5% working interest, where a
25% working interest was carried in the first well. The well was
drilled at the end of 2020 and put into production at the beginning
of 2021. This well was and remains a great success, increasing
production, net cashflow, and reserves. (The well and its reserves
are currently not part of the Senior Lending Facility; the Company
plans to add those during the next redetermination).
West Texas (50 - 75% Working Interest)
In previous years, we have made three separate acquisitions in
the Permian Basin. These were leases that had existing, albeit
nominal, rates of production. The reason for the acquisitions was
to gain access to upside through additional drilling locations on
the leases, in a proven oil field, and during a lower oil price
environment. In 2018, we brought two new wells into production. In
February 2019 we announced that the first well paid out in under
one year, meaning production rates were strong enough to generate a
return of all our well costs in a rapid manner. The second well is
performing to expectations. We have numerous other potential
drilling locations that we keep in inventory to potentially drill
in the future.
In September 2020 Nostra Terra signed a farm-in agreement with a
consortium of local owners/producers for three additional leases in
the Permian Basin. There is significant upside opportunity through
a combination of re-completions, workovers, and new wells. The
asset is in a proven area, adjacent to other leases Nostra Terra
owns in the basin. Work is anticipated to commence later this
year.
South Texas (100% Working Interest)
In September 2020 we acquired the Caballos Creek oilfield in
South Texas. The wells are producing from conventional reservoirs,
with long-life reserves. The acquisition was completed with
non-dilutive financing and was immediately accretive.
From the above it is apparent that the Company continues to
pursue its stated goals of acquiring a portfolio of low-cost medium
to high impact acreage with upside to build a strong position in
the conventional, low risk onshore Mid-Continent US.
Senior Lending Facility
Nostra Terra has a $5 million Senior Lending Facility , with
scope for further expansion . The borrowing base at the end of the
year was $1.6 4 million at a 4. 7 5% interest rate, (with a
variable rate of the greater of 4.25% and WSJ Rate plus 25 basis
points) to 29 January 2022. This flexible facility provides an
attractive opportunity to use non-dilutive funds to grow the
Company. The facility is not fully drawn down and the next
redetermination will take place mid-year whe n a substantial
increase in the borrowing base is anticipated . This is partly due
to an increase in commodity prices, but primarily to the success in
the newly-drilled well at Pine Mills in the Cypress farmout area,
which was put into production in January of 2021.
Outlook
We have a great portfolio of low-risk, producing assets in the
USA, all with further growth potential. Being cashflow positive we
' ll look to grow that further in 2021. Our Senior Facility is one
of the tools we have available ; we can draw on it (with no
restrictions on where funds are used) to use for further
acquisitions, development, or even exploration. One such example is
Tunisia, where we spent much of 2020 pursuing an opportunity that
we felt would offer an exciting element to our portfolio .
Thank you to our shareholders , who have supported us through a
volatile year. Overheads remain low , oil prices continue to
strengthen and we've already increased production significantly
with more planned throughout the year. We anticipate a greatly
improved year for revenue and cashflow in 2021 .

3. Segmental analysis
In the opinion of the directors, the group has one class of
business, being the exploitation of hydrocarbon resources.
The group's primary reporting format is determined by
geographical segment according to the location of the hydrocarbon
assets. The group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 in the year
are as follows:
United Kingdom - being the location of the head office.
US Mid- Continent properties at year end included the
following:
-- East Texas: 100% working interest in the Pine Mills oilfield
-- East Texas: 32.5% working interest in the Cypress farmout area of Pine Mills
-- West Texas: 50-75% working interest leases located in the Permian Basin
-- South Texas: 100% working interest in the Caballos Creek oilfield
The chief operating decision maker's internal report for the
year ended 31 December 20 20 is based on the location of the oil
properties as disclosed in the below table:

10. 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:
