("San Leon", "SLE" or "the Company")
Interim Results
San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas
development and appraisal in Africa, today announces its unaudited
interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018, and provides
an update on its indirect interest in OML 18, a world-class oil and
gas block onshore Nigeria, and other assets.
Highlights
Corporate
-- US$77.3 million has been received to date in relation to the
US$174.5 million Midwestern Leon Petroleum Limited ("MLPL") Loan
Notes ("Loan Notes"). The Company is scheduled to continue to be
repaid against the Loan Notes, whose balance is currently $157.8
million.
-- The Company's cash position (EUR22.6 million at 30 June 2018)
has been substantially strengthened over the period, enabling
management to focus further on yielding value from its indirect
interest in OML 18.
-- The Company anticipates future cash flow from continued
principal and interest repayments from the Loan Notes, income from
the Master Services Agreement ("MSA"), dividends from the Company's
initial indirect 9.72% economic interest in OML 18 (once Eroton is
in a position to pay such dividends), and through the potential
income or sale of the Company's 4.5% Net Profit Interest in the
Barryroe oil field (offshore Ireland).
-- The Company intends initially to return not less than $10
million to shareholders through a share buy-back programme (the
"Programme"), once it has completed its capital reorganisation
(expected to complete in October/November 2018).
Operational
An update on OML 18 activity during the first six months of 2018
is provided below.
-- Workovers using cement packers have been performed on five
wells, and are continuing. Gas lift has been installed in seven
wells (with further wells to be added). Both activities are
increasing production rates, and the gas lift installation is
enabling the wells to restart production more rapidly after any
production upset.
-- Three of the five planned Lease Automatic Custody Transfer
("LACT") units are now operational in the field (on Alakiri,
Krakama and Cawthorne-1 production areas), with units on
Cawthorne-2 and Cawthorne-3 expected to be operational around the
start of Q4.
-- Eroton expects a drilling rig to arrive in OML 18 within the
next month to drill the first new well of Eroton's operatorship,
with others planned to follow. It expects the well to spud by early
November, have a duration of approximately 60 days, and will be an
infill well in the Akaso field.
-- The Buguma field is still planned to be brought online by
Eroton, and awaits permissions before the operational work is
carried out.
-- The proposed new dedicated export system for OML 18 (which is
expected materially to reduce downtime and pipeline losses) is
forecast by Eroton to be online during 2019.
Production has continued to be affected in the first half of
2018 by Nembe Creek Trunk Line ("NCTL") pipeline downtime and
allocated pipeline losses (although the installation of the LACT
units is expected to reduce these). In addition, there has been a
decline of more than 4,000 bopd in production from the Awoba field
(of which the OML 18 partners have a 50% equity share) over the 12
months to 30 June 2018. Average production before pipeline losses
for the first six months of 2018 was 38,578 bopd (after downtime),
or 46,086 bopd on a producing days basis. Average sales oil for the
period was 26,003 bopd (after pipeline losses).
Current trouble-free production (including 50% of Awoba, and
before pipeline losses) is approximately 49,000 bopd, with an
expectation that it will increase as well activity ramps up in the
coming months.
Financial
-- Profit from continuing operations for the period ended 30
June 2018 was EUR3.8m (30 June 2017: loss of EUR5.2m)
-- Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2018 of EUR22.6m (30 June 2017: EUR0.3m)
-- During 2018 to date US$37.7m (EUR31.1m) has been received in
relation to payments due to San Leon under the US$174.5m Loan
Notes
-- All loans provided to San Leon have been fully settled.
Chief Executive Officer of San Leon, Oisin Fanning,
commented:
"With the Company on an increasingly sound financial footing,
with substantial cash in hand, I am pleased to see the effects of
Eroton's well work coming through. As that activity continues and
is joined by new well drilling, I look forward to updating
shareholders on OML 18's performance. With the installation of LACT
units, and the expected new OML 18 export system, Eroton expects a
steady improvement in downtime and allocated losses, which would
translate into increased sales volumes. I look to the Company's
future with increased confidence."

Chairman's Statement
It is very pleasing to see the progress being made to increase
OML 18's gross production (despite the Awoba field's decline), as
well as addressing export downtime and allocated pipeline losses.
The Company has previously documented the operational and financial
challenges being tackled by Eroton as operator of OML 18.
The continued receipt of Loan Notes payments, now totaling
US$77.3 million, is also worthy of note. With US$157.8 million of
outstanding principal and interest, and interest continuing to
accrue on this balance, I consider San Leon to be in good financial
health.
We considerably strengthened our board during the period and I
am delighted to formally welcome Linda Beal and Bill Higgs as
non-executive directors of the Company, bringing with them
considerable relevant experience. Cantor Fitzgerald Europe ("Cantor
Fitzgerald") was appointed as the Company's Nominated Adviser,
financial adviser and joint broker in April 2018.
Having spent much of 2017 in a formal offer period, San Leon
confirmed in January 2018 that such offer talks had ceased.
In November 2017, San Leon had received a letter from Midwestern
Oil and Gas Company Limited ("Midwestern") with an indicative
proposal that included San Leon acquiring Midwestern's 60%
shareholding in MLPL (the "Proposal"). San Leon holds the remaining
40% of MLPL. Since the Proposal could have resulted in a
transaction being characterised as a "reverse takeover", the
Company's shares were temporarily suspended. In late April 2018,
the Company announced that its board had elected not to accept
Midwestern's proposal and the Company's shares recommenced
trading.
Financial Review
During 2017 and 2018 to date, San Leon has received US$77.3
million representing four quarterly Loan Note payments which have
been applied in satisfaction of principal and accrued interest on
the Loan Notes. This has enabled the Company to settle, both during
and after the reporting period, outstanding loans and is now debt
free. Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2018 were EUR22.6
million, (30 June 2017: EUR0.3 million,).
The Company has been informed by Midwestern Leon Petroleum
Limited ("MLPL"), that the quarterly Loan Notes repayment to San
Leon which is due on or before 1 October 2018, is now expected to
be made during October 2018.
San Leon generated a profit after tax from continuing operations
of EUR3.8 million, for the 6 months to 30 June 2018 compared with a
loss after tax of EUR5.2 million, in the 6 months to 30 June
2017.
Revenue for the six months to 30 June 2018 was EUR0.1 million,
compared with EUR0.1 million, for the 6 months to 30 June 2017.
Loss on equity investments for the 6 months to 30 June 2018 was
EUR8.0 million, (30 June 2017: loss of EUR3.5 million,). This loss
relates to San Leon's equity investment in MLPL. MLPL has a 100%
equity investment in Martwestern Energy, which in turn has a 50%
equity investment in Eroton, the operator and holder of the
Company's indirect interest in OML 18, Nigeria. The share of loss
on equity accounted investments comprises administrative costs of
EUR0.6 million, net finance costs of EUR1.9 million, loss on
investment of EUR4.3 million and a tax charge of EUR1.2 million.
This loss reflects the operational challenges encountered by OML 18
(as described elsewhere) along with the financing arrangements
which enabled the Company to acquire its indirect interest. This
share of loss on equity accounted investments needs to be viewed in
the context of the Loan Notes which enabled the acquisition of the
indirect interest in OML 18 and generated finance income on the
Loan Notes during the period of EUR16.1 million.
Administrative costs increased to EUR7.1 million, for the 6
months to 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: EUR3.9 million, ). The 2017
administrative costs benefited from a EUR1.0 million, foreign
exchange gain with higher legal and consultancy fees and
depreciation in 2018.
Finance expense of EUR0.6 million, for the 6 months to 30 June
2018 (30 June 2017: EUR2.6 million,) relates to interest expense
and fees for loan facility arrangements.
Finance income of EUR16.2 million, (30 June 2017: EUR16.5
million,) is substantially interest income on the US$174.5 million,
Loan Notes. The Loan Notes which are denominated in US$ also
benefited from a strengthening dollar against the Euro in 2018
leading to a foreign exchange gain of EUR3.0 million, (30 June
2017: a loss of EUR11.3 million,).
Tax credit for the 6 months to 30 June 2018 is EUR0.1 million,
(30 June 2017: EUR0.5 million, tax credit).
The Company's Irish counsel is progressing a capital
reorganisation which is required to enable the Company to return
capital to its shareholders. This is expected to complete in
October/November 2018. On completion of the capital reorganisation,
the Company intends initially to return not less than $10 million
to shareholders through a share buy-back Programme. The Programme
is subject to market conditions and compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations.
Further to previous announcements regarding the November 2016
sale of the Company's 35% interest in TSH Energy Joint Venture BV
("TSH"), the owner of the Rawicz gas field in Poland, the Company
was due to receive on 1 September 2018 a final payment of
approximately $3.9 million from NSP Investments Holdings Ltd
("NSP"), a BVI registered company that holds a 35% interest in TSH.
That payment was not received and the Company and NSP are in
discussions regarding new potential payment terms which, if agreed,
will be announced to the market. San Leon holds a pledge on NSP's
35% shareholding interest in TSH as security for payment.
In May 2018 SunTrust Oil made various claims against the Company
regarding the 2016 OML 18 transaction. The Company, having taken
legal advice, strongly believes any such claims to have no basis,
and will vigorously defend its position.
The Interim Report and Accounts are available on the Company's
website at www.sanleonenergy.com and will be posted to
shareholders.
Outlook
The Company is now in a strong financial position, with the
benefit of an expected future income stream including the Loan
Notes repayments. The Company continues to believe in its world
class Nigerian interests, as cash flows from San Leon's indirect
equity interest in OML 18, and from its service offering under the
MSA, are expected in due course when production and OML 18
financing issues are addressed (as described in our full year
results for 2017). Our strategy is to deliver value to shareholders
as we mature our interests in Nigeria and, as previously announced,
we continue to exit from our non-core assets. I look forward to
updating shareholders as OML 18 progress continues.

The Directors have considered the carrying value at 30 June 2018
of capitalised costs in respect of its exploration and evaluation
assets. These assets have been assessed for impairment indicators
and in particular with regard to remaining licence terms,
likelihood of licence renewal, likelihood of further expenditures
and on-going appraisals for each area, as described in the
Operating Review. Based on internal assessments, the Directors have
impaired the exploration and evaluation assets by EUR42.8 million
in the year ended 31 December 2017 and are satisfied that there are
no further impairment indicators. The Directors recognise that
future realisation of the remaining oil and gas interests is
dependent on future successful exploration and appraisal activities
and subsequent production of oil and gas reserves.

(i) OML 18 Production Arrangement
The Company secured an initial 9.72% indirect economic interest
in the OML 18 Production Arrangement, onshore Nigeria for a total
consideration of EUR169 million (US$188.4 million).
In 2016, the Company undertook a number of steps to effect the
purchase of its interest in the OML 18 Production
Arrangement. Midwestern Leon Petroleum Limited ("MLPL"), a
company incorporated in Mauritius of which San Leon Nigeria B.V.
has a 40% shareholding, was established as a special purpose
vehicle to complete the transaction by purchasing all of the shares
in Martwestern Energy Limited (Martwestern), a company incorporated
in Nigeria. Martwestern holds a 50% shareholding in Eroton
Exploration and Production Company Limited (Eroton), a company
incorporated in Nigeria and the operator of the OML 18.
To partly fund the purchase of 100% of the shares of
Martwestern, MLPL borrowed EUR156.6 million (US$174.5 million) in
incremental amounts by issuing Loan Notes under a Loan Notes
instrument which attracts a coupon of 17 per cent. Midwestern Oil
and Gas Company Limited is the 60% shareholder of MLPL and
transferred its shares in Martwestern to MLPL as part of the full
transaction. Following its Placing in September 2016, San Leon
Energy plc purchased all of the outstanding Loan Notes issued of
EUR103.7 million (US$115.5 million) and subscribed for further
EUR52.9 million (US$58.9 million) of newly issued Loan Notes and is
therefore the beneficiary and holder of all Loan Notes issued by
MLPL. San Leon is due to be repaid the full EUR156.6 million
(US$174.5 million) plus the 17% coupon once certain conditions have
been met and using an agreed distribution mechanism. San Leon is
also a beneficiary of any dividends that will be paid by MLPL as a
40% shareholder in MLPL, but the Loan Notes repayments must take
priority over any dividend payments made to the MLPL
shareholders.
Through its 50% shareholding in Eroton and other financial
agreements, Martwestern holds an initial indirect 24.3% economic
interest in the OML 18 Production Arrangement. Through the
ownership of MLPL and other commercial agreements, San Leon is an
indirect shareholder of Eroton, and the Company holds a 9.72%
initial indirect economic interest in OML 18.
The key information relevant to the fair value of the Loan Notes
is as follows:

--------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
Discounted cash flows - Discount rate 25% The estimated fair

- MLPL profitability
i.e. ability to generate
cash flows for repayment
- Loan Notes are repayable
in full by 31 March
2020.
--------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
The recoverability of the Group and Company's equity and Loan
Notes investments in the MLPL arrangement is dependent on the
ability of the OML 18 operator, Eroton, to make distributions. The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation ("NNPC") has made
substantial repayments to Eroton for 2015 and 2016 joint venture
cash call arrears. However, significant outstanding arrears still
remain unpaid, which if received would provide capital for further
investment in OML 18. NNPC has been paying the large proportion of
its 2017 and 2018 cash calls to date. Eroton needs to meet certain
conditions before its lenders will allow Eroton to make
distributions to its shareholders. These distributions need to be
made to enable MLPL to repay interest and principal to San Leon. At
the reporting date and at the date of approval of their financial
statements these conditions have not been met by Eroton. As a
consequence MLPL had to enter into a loan during 2017 and
subsequently in order to be able to meet its obligations under the
Loan Notes and make payments to San Leon. In 2017 San Leon received
total payments under the Loan Notes totalling EUR34.3 million
(US$39.6 million). All payments during 2017 were received by the
due date and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Notes.
During 2018 San Leon received total payments under the Loan
Notes totalling EUR30.9 million (US$37.0 million). The payments
received during 2018 represent interest and principal on the Loan
Notes repaid. The Directors of San Leon have considered the
carrying amounts of the Loan Notes and equity interest at 30 June
2018 and are satisfied that these are appropriate.
(ii) Barryroe - 4.5% Net Profit Interest (NPI)
The Directors have estimated the fair value of the NPI by
reference to a third party evaluation report of contingent
resources and cash flows prepared Netherland Sewell &
Associates Inc. (NSAI) in July 2013 for Providence
Resources Plc ("Providence").
NSAI reported that the Basal Wealden oil reservoir has an
estimated 2C in-place gross on-block volume of 761
MMBO with recoverable resources of 266 MMBO and 187 BCF of
associated gas, based on a 35% oil recovery
factor. In July 2013, NSAI also provided an estimate of the cash
flows attributable to Providence's net interest from
the Basal Wealden oil reservoir only.
The Company benchmarked project costs in 2013 with respect to
opex and capex, and has used those estimates
together with public information from Providence Resources and
revised development plans as they become
available, to refine its valuation model.
As San Leon is not the operator of this licence, the Group does
not have the ability to commission an independent
technical evaluation of the licence area. Therefore, the
Directors believe that the NSAI report, when coupled with
other information recently released by Providence and adapted
for certain changes in the market, gives the basis
for the best estimate of fair value at period end.
San Leon notes the 2018 farm-out announcement by Providence and
has considered it in its approach to risking
value to the Company. In previous years the Company has used a
10% discount rate within its economic model,
while taking a conservative approach on the assumed oil price in
order to reflect project risk. Due to the marked
increase in oil price by the end of 2017, the Company has
instead increased the discount rate applied to 15% to
reflect its view of project risk, while adopting an oil price
assumption which reflects the market.
(iii) Amedeo Resources plc
During 2017, the Company sold 100,000 ordinary shares in Amedeo
Resources plc for cash consideration of
EUR30,998. At 30 June 2018, the Company held 213,512 ordinary
shares with a market value of EUR23,977 (2017: EUR28,548)
(iv) Ardilaun Energy Limited
As part of the consideration for the sale of Island Oil &
Gas Limited to Ardilaun Energy Limited ("Ardilaun") in 2014.
Ardilaun agreed to issue shares equivalent to 15% of the issued
share capital of Ardilaun. The original fair value of
the 15% interest in Ardilaun was based on a market transaction
in Ardilaun shares. The Directors have considered
the carrying value of this interest at 31 December 2017 and are
satisfied that the carrying value continues to be
appropriate in the absence of further market data.

Restricted cash at bank at 30 June 2017 comprises a deposit
account held in support of bank guarantees
required under the Moroccan exploration licence, Zag, held by
the Group.
In April 2017, the Company announced that the Office National
des Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM") had written to the Company
regarding the non-performance of the work programme on its Zag
Licence, onshore Morocco. ONHYM has assumed control of the existing
bank guarantee (listed above as restricted cash), and has requested
a penalty of the same amount again to be paid. The Zag licence is
in a geographical area which the Company believes justifies a
declaration of Force Majeure due to the regional security
situation. San Leon, in order to be prudent, has fully provided for
the loss of monies (held in support of the bank guarantee) in the
2017 accounts. The Company is in negotiations with ONHYM regarding
the licence including the work programme, the Force Majeure status
and the recoverability of the bank guarantee and appropriateness of
the penalty.

13. Held for sale assets and liabilities
In 2016 efforts to sell, relinquish, or farm-out most of the
Company's assets in Poland commenced as part of the strategic
realignment and focus on Nigeria. This process is substantially
underway and sale and purchase agreements were concluded in the
second half of 2017 with regard to the held for sale assets,
following which various formalities and approvals will have to be
concluded, in particular with governmental authorities, before
completion.
The assets and liabilities that are up for sale in Poland are as
follows:

----------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------
In 2018, due to the protracted nature of approval from the
Polish authorities, and in light of the fact the authorities
initially indicated that based on information at that time approval
would not be given, the Directors concluded that it was prudent to
fully write off the Polish assets held for sale at 31 December
2017.
However, the Directors are confident that governmental approval
will be obtained in due course following the provision of further
information to the Polish authorities, and the amount due to the
company will be collected.
The held for sale exploration and evaluation assets at 31
December 2016 were EUR2.6 million. Further costs were incurred on
these assets in 2017 of EUR0.5 million. During 2017 the held for
sale exploration and evaluation assets were impaired by
EUR3,135,621, in order to reduce their carrying value to fair value
less costs to sell with the recoverable amount considered to be
nil.
Further costs were incurred on these assets in 2018 of EUR0.2
million.
A liability of EUR1.0 million for decommissioning costs on the
held for sale exploration and evaluation assets is maintained.
There are no other material income or expenses related to the
held for sale assets.

Sp. z.o.o and AOG Finance Limited, in Poland, Netherlands, Ireland,
England & Wales in respect of various matters including a final

Zachod Sp z.o.o - the titleholder of the Sierkierki asset.

until paid.
A total of EUR23.9 million was paid to Avobone during 2017

payments when due, interest, and further legal costs) representing
a full discharge of amounts owed.
Other
Certain Realm Energy International Corporation shareholders
exercised rights of dissent under Canadian law not to accept the
terms of acquisition in 2011. Under Canadian law, these dissenting
shareholders are eligible to receive a cash payment equal to the
fair value of their shareholding at acquisition. The provision
represents the Directors' estimate of the cash consideration to be
paid to those shareholders taking account of the market price of
the Realm shares at acquisition.
In Q2 2018 the amount provided at 31 December 2017 was fully
paid in cash to the shareholders.
