(2019: $10,271,311).

and up to the date of this report.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Red Emperor Resources NL is a company limited by shares, which
is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Company during the financial year
was oil and gas exploration and project identification.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Perth Basin, Western Australia
In December 2019, the Company entered into a binding Letter of
Intent ("LOI") with Pilot Energy Limited (ASX: PGY) ("Pilot
Energy") and Key Petroleum Limited (ASX: KEY) ("Key Petroleum")
(together, the Joint Venture ("JV") partners) in order to secure an
option to acquire a 70% operated interest in the offshore Perth
Basin exploration permit, WA-481-P.
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Red Emperor agreed to fund the
completion of an existing committed work programme (comprising
geological and geophysical studies) for the final year of the
existing permit term, up to a capped amount of $150,000 which was
completed on time and on budget. Contemporaneous with such work
programme being completed, the existing JV partners, formally
applied to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator
(NOPTA) for a renewal of the permit, which expired on 19 February
2020. Whilst the renewal application was successful and ultimately
granted to the JV, the Board felt it prudent not to exercise the
Company's option, which therefore expired on 5 June 2020.
Alaska North Slope
The Operator of ADL#s 391718, 391719, 319720 & 391721
(collectively, the "Western Blocks"), namely 88 Energy Limited
(ASX/AIM: 88E), on behalf of the JV, held discussions with the
relevant regulatory authorities in Alaska in relation to seeking
relief on the rentals due on 1 May 2020. Unfortunately, such
discussions were unsuccessful and as a result the Western Blocks
were relinquished by the JV during the quarter ended 30 June
2020.
Philippines (SC 55)
On 26 August 2019, the 4-month extension to the moratorium
period granted by the Philippine's Department of Energy ("DoE")
expired. The Joint Venture then sought to enter into Sub-Phase 5
which required further, significant expenditure including the
commitment to drill an exploration well in 2020. The Board decided
that this was not the optimum use of shareholder funds and as a
result, during Q4 2019, the Company advised the operator, Palawan55
Exploration and Production Corporation, of its intention to
withdraw from the Joint Venture. The Company's equity interest was
subsequently re-assigned to its Joint Venture partners.
Corporate
In August 2019, Mr. Gracjan Lambert, Chief Executive Officer,
resigned from the Company.
Red Emperor retained the services of Mr. John Begg on a
part-time basis to assist with introducing and reviewing business
opportunities. John is an expert, upstream oil and gas project
generator and deal closer. With decades of experience in equity
capital markets, John is an industry-leading geoscientist who has
lived and worked with consistently high business impact in
Australia, developing SE Asian countries, the UK, Middle East and
the USA.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs
of the Group during the financial year, other than as set out in
this report.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
On 10 August 2020, the Company announced that, pursuant to the
relinquishment of the Western Blocks on the North Slope, Alaska, as
announced on 24 July 2020, the Company had become an AIM Rule 15
cash shell.
As an AIM Rule 15 cash shell, the Company is required to make an
acquisition, or acquisitions, which constitute(s) a reverse
takeover under AIM Rule 14, or alternatively seek re-admission to
trading on AIM as an investing company pursuant to AIM Rule 8,
within six months from 21 July 2020, failing which the Company's
ordinary shares will be suspended from trading on AIM pursuant to
AIM Rule 40 and cancelled from admission to trading on AIM if such
a transaction has not been completed within a further six month
period thereafter.
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and
it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or
negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly
developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian
Government and other countries, such as maintaining social
distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any
economic stimulus that may be provided.
There have been no other significant events subsequent to the
end of the financial year to the date of this report.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Group remains committed to identifying suitable assets for
listing purposes. The Group intends to pursue acquisition and
investment opportunities to secure new assets in accordance with
its outlined strategic philosophy.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
The Group operates within the resources sector and conducts its
business activities with respect for the environment while
continuing to meet the expectations of its shareholders, employees
and suppliers. The Group aims to ensure that the highest standard
of environmental care is achieved, and that it complies with all
relevant environmental legislation.
The Group has no current reporting obligations under the Natural
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 due to all operations
during the year occurring overseas. The Directors are mindful of
the regulatory regime in relation to the impact of its
organisational activities on the environment. There have been no
known breaches by the Group during the year.

proceedings during the year.

behaviour and accountability, the Directors of Red Emperor
Resources NL support and have adhered to the principles of sound
corporate governance. The Board recognises the recommendations of
the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council,
