Paul Griffiths, Executive Chairman of Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc
commented:
"We are pleased to have managed operating losses and administrative expenses
in 2022, after allowing for share-based payments whilst increasing cash
balances at the end of the period and maintaining a debt-free status. This has
been achieved despite rising global cost inflation and maintaining momentum in
our three areas of business operations in what again has been very challenging
times due to the UK-Russian conflict.
Preparing for the drilling of MOU-2 and beyond has resulted in us having to
establish a brand new operational base in Morocco to ensure that we can source
well inventory and services in a competitive manner and continue to press
forward with drilling operations at the pace required to avail of
opportunities to sell gas to the Moroccan industrial market.
The Moulouya Fan has been identified as a sizeable asset capable of in itself
potentially supplying all of the current industrial market's CNG requirements.
It will require additional wells over time to maintain and scale up the gas
supply, but the priority at present will be to complete a drilling and rigless
testing programme to validate the commercial CNG concept.
There will be geological and operational challenges to overcome which are no
different to those faced by other operators along this particular trend of gas
discoveries and fields.
Currently the Company is the only operator in Morocco preparing for imminent
drilling.
We thank our shareholders for their continued support as always but
particularly in what has been another volatile year in the financial markets
coupled with unprecedented rises in modern times in inflation and cost of
living. We will continue to focus on developing our Moroccan asset during
2023."

Notes to Editors:
Predator is operator of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement onshore Morocco which
is prospective for Tertiary gas in prospects less than 10 kilometres from the
Maghreb gas pipeline and suitable for the development of Compressed Natural
Gas for Morocco's industrial sector. The MOU-1 well has been completed and
is subject to a follow-up testing programme. The MOU-2 well is currently
suspended pending a potential re-entry.
Predator is seeking to further develop the remaining oil reserves of
Trinidad's mature onshore oil fields through the application of CO2 EOR
techniques and by sequestrating anthropogenic carbon dioxide in oil
reservoirs.
In addition, Predator also owns and operates exploration and appraisal assets
in licensing options offshore Ireland, for which successor authorisations have
been applied for, adjoining Vermilion's Corrib gas field in the Slyne Basin on
the Atlantic Margin and east of the decommissioned Kinsale gas field in the
Celtic Sea.
Predator has developed a Floating Storage and Regasification Project ("FSRUP")
for the import of LNG and its regassification for Ireland and is also
developing gas storage concepts to address security of gas supply and
volatility in gas prices during times of peak gas demand.
The Company has a highly experienced management team with a proven track
record in operations in the oil and gas industry.

Statement of accounting policies
For the year ended 31 December 2022
General information
Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiaries
(together "the Group") are engaged principally in the operation of an oil and
gas development business in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and an
exploration and appraisal portfolio in Ireland and Morocco. The Company's
ordinary shares are on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority in the
standard listing section of the London Stock Exchange.
Basis or preparation and going concern assessment
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial
information are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied
throughout the current year and prior year, unless otherwise stated. These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European
Union and with those parts of the Companies (Jersey) Law, 1991 applicable to
companies preparing their accounts under IFRS. The Company has adopted the
exemption under Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 Article 105 (11) not to prepare
separate accounts.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of Predator Oil
& Gas Holdings Plc and its subsidiary undertakings as at 31 December 2022.
In prior years, the financial statements notes were rounded to the nearest
thousands and did not follow the same treatment as the prime statements,
therefore, the Directors have decided to change the notes to be rounded to the
nearest pound.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on
a going concern basis. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are
prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and
expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions that
are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such
control ceases.
The preparation of financial statements requires an assessment on the validity
of the going concern assumption. At the date of these financial statements the
Directors expect that the Group will require further funding for the Group's
corporate overheads; Irish licence interests, Moroccan licence and for the
development of a CO2 EOR pilot project. Post the year end the Group issued
shares for a total capital raised of £2.0mil before expenses, largely to
progress MOU-3 surface location and drilling programme as well as a small
portion of the total capital raised being used for general working capital.
Following this capital raise, the Directors are confident that the Group will
be able meet requirements over the course of the next 24 months, in cash, as
debt finance, joint venture or farminee partner equity, share issues or
otherwise.
The Group expects the acquisition of Cory Moruga to be completed in the near
future, should it receive consent from the Trinidadian Ministry of Energy
Industries. The acquisition would involve an initial cash outflow of USD2.0
million settlement, which the Board is confident that it would be able to
raise in a further capital placing.
Failing the success of these fund raising activities the Directors will be
prepared to accept appropriate reductions in their remuneration to conserve
cash resources.
Change in Accounting Policies
At the date of approval of these financial statements, certain new standards,
amendments and interpretations have been published by the International
Accounting Standards Board but are not as yet effective and have not been
adopted early by the Group. All relevant standards, amendments and
interpretations will be adopted in the Group's accounting policies in the
first period beginning on or after the effective date of the relevant
pronouncement.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, a number of
Standards and Interpretations were in issue but were not yet effective. The
Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these standards and
interpretations, or any of the amendments made to existing standards as a
result of the annual improvements cycle, will have a material effect on the
financial statements in the year of initial application.
Standards and amendments to existing standards effective 1 January 2022
- Amendment to IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets - Onerous contracts
- Amendments to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - Reference to Conceptual
Framework
- Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before
Intended Use
New Standards, amendments and interpretations effective after 1 January 2022
and have not been early adopted
The Group does not believe that the below standards not yet effective, will
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements:
- Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice
Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies
- Amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors - Definition of Accounting Estimates
Areas of estimates and judgement
The preparation of the group financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The Group commenced operations in 2018 and did not enter into material
operational transactions requiring significant estimates and assumptions to be
effected in preparation of financial statements for the reporting period. The
critical accounting estimates and judgements made are in line with those made
in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
a) Going concern and Inter-company loan recoverability.
The Group's cash flow projections indicate that, following the latest
fundraise in April 2023, the Group has sufficient resources to continue as a
going concern for the near future. The Board is confident that should the
Group require further funds to complete and future works, that it will be able
to raise further funds through issuing equity.
The recoverability of inter-company loans advanced by the Company to
subsidiaries depends also on the subsidiaries realising their cash flow
projections. This is the case for Predator Oil & Gas Trinidad Ltd. where
production revenues are forecast from the near-term from pilot CO2 EOR
operations where project economics have been stress-tested at lower oil
prices. In the event of sustained lower oil prices positive cash flow will be
less and the time taken to recover inter-company loans longer.
In the case of Predator Gas Ventures Ltd., recovery of inter-company loans is
dependent upon the Guercif drilling programme successfully recovering
commercial quantities of gas that can be developed and brought to market. The
Moroccan gas market is commercially attractive and even relatively low volumes
of discovered gas are likely to be economic. A partial sale of equity in a
future potential gas discovery is the preferred strategy for recovery of
inter-company loans rather than a longer term dependency on a gas development.
In the case of Predator Oil and Gas Ventures Ltd., the quantum of
inter-company loan is relatively small and no substantive expenditures are
anticipated going forward. The change in business strategy to a focus on LNG
and gas storage offshore Ireland, creates a marketing opportunity for the
Group's relevant experience and expertise within this sector of the industry.
It creates the potential as promoters of the project to receive introduction
and service providers' fees and a free minority equity position in a joint
venture vehicle to move to the project development stage. Under these
circumstances the inter-company loan would constitute past costs contributing
to the level of free equity. Recovery of the relatively modest inter-company
loan therefore has a variety of ways of being repaid.
Management have also assessed that the carrying value and recoverability of
the investment, including intercompany receivables is ultimately dependent on
the value of the underlying assets of the Group. Further evidence of its
realisable value can also be noted by reference the market capitalisation of
the Group on the London Stock exchange at the date of this report which can be
used as a guide and to provide further assurance of its carrying value
subsequent to the year end.
b) Recoverability of loan
The Group entered into an agreement FRAM Exploration Trinidad Limited
("FRAM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Columbus Energy Resources PLC, who are
listed on AIM.
Management have concluded that there is no impairment required at the
reporting date, as the Group has entered into a settlement agreement with
Challenger Energy Group Plc ("CEG") for the acquisition of T-Rex Trinidad
Limited and the total liability due from FRAM will be offset against the total
consideration agreed when the transaction is complete.
c) Share based payments
The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment for all
grants of equity instruments.
The Group operates an equity settled share option scheme for directors. The
increase in equity is measured by reference to the fair value of equity
instruments at the date of grant. The liabilities assumed under these
arrangements into shares in the parent company, under an option arrangement.
The fair value of the service received in exchange for the grant of options
and warrants is recognised as an expense. Equity-settled share-based payments
are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market based vesting
conditions) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date
of equity-settled share-based payment is expensed over the vesting period,
based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted
for the effect of non-market based vesting conditions.
During the year, the Company issued warrants in lieu of fees to stockbrokers.
The warrant agreements do not contain vesting conditions and therefore the
full share-based payment charge, being the fair value of the warrants using
the Black-Scholes model, has been recorded immediately. The charge is
recognised within the statement of changes in equity. The valuation of these
warrants involves making a number of estimates relating to price volatility,
future dividend yields and continuous growth rates (see Note 19).
The fair value of the share options is estimated by using the Black Scholes
model on the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions are
described in note 19 and include, among others, the expected volatility and
expected life of the options. The expected life used in the model has been
adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of
non-transferability exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The
market price used in the model is the issue price of the Company's shares at
the last placement of shares immediately preceding the calculation date. Where
the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the
increase in the fair value of the warrants, measured immediately before and
after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining
vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons or entities other than staff,
the fair value of goods and services received is charged to profit or loss,
except where it is in respect to costs associated with the issue of shares, in
which case, it is charged to the share premium account.
The fair values calculated are inherently subjective and uncertain due to the
assumptions made and the limitation of the calculations used. Further details
of the specific amounts concerned are given in note 19.
d) Intangible assets - Project Guercif
All expenditure relating to oil and gas activities is capitalised in
accordance with the "successful efforts" method of accounting, as described in
IFRS 6 - "Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources". Under this
standard, the Group's exploration and appraisal activities are capitalised as
intangible assets.
The direct costs of exploration and appraisal are initially capitalised as
intangible assets, pending determination of the existence of commercial
reserves in the licence area. Such costs are classified as intangible
assets based on the nature of the underlying asset, which does not yet have
any proven physical substance. Exploration and appraisal costs are held,
un-depreciated, until such a time as the exploration phase on the licence area
is complete or commercial reserves have been discovered.
If no commercial reserves exist, then that particular exploration/appraisal
effort was "unsuccessful" and the costs are written off to the income
statement in the period in which the evaluation is made. The success or
failure of each exploration/appraisal effort is judged on a field by field
basis.
Net proceeds from any disposal of an exploration asset are initially credited
against the previously capitalised costs. Any surplus proceeds are credited to
the income statement. Net proceeds from any disposal of exploration assets are
credited against the previously capitalised cost. A gain or loss on disposal
of an exploration asset is recognised in the income statement to the extent
that the net proceeds exceed or are less than the appropriate portion of the
net capitalised costs of the asset.
Upon commencement of production, capitalised costs will be amortised on a unit
of production basis which is calculated to write off the expected cost of each
asset over its life in line with the depletion of proved and probable
reserves.
For more information please refer to note 10.
Basis of consolidation
Where the Group has control over an investee, it is classified as a
subsidiary. The Group controls an investee if all three of the following
elements are present: power over the investee, exposure to variable returns
from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect
those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances
indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and
its subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they formed a single entity.
Inter-company transactions and balances between Group companies are therefore
eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are applied across the Group.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business
combinations using the acquisition method. In the statement of financial
position, the acquirer's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition
date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained.
They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
Intangible assets
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure relates to costs incurred in
the exploration and evaluation of potential mineral resources and includes
exploration and mineral licences, researching and analysing historical
exploration data, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling and the costs of
pre-feasibility studies.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest, other than
that acquired from another entity, is charged to the consolidated statement of
income as incurred except when the expenditure is expected to be recouped from
future exploitation or sale of the area of interest and it is planned to
continue with active and significant operations in relation to the area, or at
the reporting period end, the activity has not reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence of commercially recoverable reserves,
in which case the expenditure is capitalised. Purchased exploration and
evaluation assets are recognised at their fair value at acquisition. As the
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure asset is not available for
use, it is not depreciated.
Exploration and evaluation assets have an indefinite useful life and are
assessed for impairment annually or when facts and circumstances suggest that
the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The
assessment is carried out by allocating exploration and evaluation assets to
cash generating units, which are based on specific projects or geographical
areas. IFRS 6 permits impairments of exploration and evaluation expenditure to
be reversed should the conditions which led to the impairment improve. The
Group continually monitors the position of the projects capitalised and
impaired.
Whenever the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in cash
generating units does not lead to the discovery of commercially viable
quantities of mineral resources and the Group has decided to discontinue such
activities of that unit, the associated expenditures are written off to the
Statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets
The Financial assets currently held by the Group and Company are classified as
loans and receivables and cash and cash equivalents. These assets are
non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. They are initially recognised at fair value
plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or
issue and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method less provision for impairment.
Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as
significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default
or significant delay in payment) that the Group will be unable to collect all
of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision
being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of
the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For
receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a
separate allowance account with the loss being recognised within
administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. On
confirmation that the receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying
value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.
Cash and cash equivalents
These amounts comprise cash on hand and balances with banks. Cash equivalents
are short term, highly liquid accounts that are readily converted to known
amounts of cash. They include short-term bank deposits and short-term
investments.
Any cash or bank balances that are subject to any restrictive conditions, such
as cash held in escrow pending the conclusion of conditions precedent to
completion of a contract, are disclosed separately as "Restricted cash". The
security deposit is recognised within trade and other receivables in note 13.
There is no significant difference between the carrying value and fair value
of receivables.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the
cash flow from the asset expire, or it transfers the asset and substantially
all the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables
(including short terms loans) and long term secured borrowings. These are
initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost,
using the effective interest method. All interest and other borrowing costs
incurred in connection with the above are expensed as incurred and reported as
part of financing costs in profit or loss. Where any liability carries a right
to convertibility into shares in the Group, the fair value of the equity and
liability portions of the liability is determined at the date that the
convertible instrument is issued, by use of appropriate discount factors.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial liability when the obligations are
discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Group and all of its subsidiaries is the
British Pound Sterling.
Transactions entered into by the Group entities in a currency other than the
currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the
"functional currency") are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions
occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the
rates ruling at the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange
differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and
liabilities are similarly recognised immediately in profit or loss, except for
foreign currency borrowings qualifying as a hedge of a net investment in a
foreign operation.
The exchange rates applied at each reporting date were as follows:
31 December 2022 - £1: US$1.2041, £1: Euro1.1313 and £1: MAD12.5824
31 December 2021 - £1: US$1.3846 and £1: Euro1.1633
Investments in subsidiaries
The Group's investment in its subsidiaries are recorded at cost.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment owned by the Group relates solely to computer equipment.
Depreciation is provided on equipment so as to write off the carrying value of
items over their expected useful economic lives. It is applied at the
following rates:
Computer equipment - 20% per annum, straight line
Share options and Equity Instruments
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the
increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and
after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining
vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than
consultants, the fair value of goods and services received is charged to
profit or loss, except where it is in respect to costs associated with the
issue of shares, in which case, it is charged to the share capital or share
premium account.
Equity instruments
Share capital represents the amount subscribed for shares at each of the
placings.
The reconstruction reserve account represents premiums received on the share
capital of subsidiaries and also includes directly related share issue costs.
Warrants issuance cost reserve includes any costs relating to warrants issued
for services rendered accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 - Equity-settled
instruments.
The share-based payments reserve represents equity-settled shared-based
employee remuneration for the fair value of the options issued.
Retained earnings include all current and prior period results as disclosed in
the Statement of comprehensive income, less dividends paid to the owners of
the Company.
Taxation
The Company and all subsidiaries ('the Group') are registered in Jersey,
Channel Islands and are taxed at the Jersey company standard rate of 0%.
However, the Group's projects are situated in jurisdictions where taxation may
become applicable to local operations.
The major components of income tax on the profit or loss include current and
deferred tax.
Current tax
Current tax is based on the profit or loss adjusted for items that are
non-assessable or disallowed and is calculated using tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Tax is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income, except
when the tax relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which
case the tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount
of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position differs to its
tax base, except for differences arising on:
• The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is
not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting or taxable profit; and
• Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the
Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it
is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it
is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference
can be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected
to apply when deferred tax liabilities/ (assets) are settled/ (recovered).
Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
The Group currently does not hold any deferred tax asset or liability.
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Segmental analysis
The Group operates in one business segment, the exploration, appraisal and
development of oil and gas assets. The Group has interests in three
geographical segments being Africa (Morocco), Europe (Ireland) and the
Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago).
The Group's operations are reviewed by the Board (which is considered to be
the Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM')) and split between oil and gas
exploration and development and administration and corporate costs.
Exploration and development are reported to the CODM only on the basis of
those costs incurred directly on projects.
Administration and corporate costs are further reviewed on the basis of spend
across the Group.
Decisions are made about where to allocate cash resources based on the status
of each project and according to the Group's strategy to develop the
projects. Each project, if taken into commercial development, has the
potential to be a separate operating segment. Operating segments are
disclosed below on the basis of the split between exploration and development
and administration and corporate.

The total carrying amount of Project Guercif as at 31 December 2022 of
£5,275,720 (2021: £2,687,026) relates to costs incurred with wells MOU-1 and
MOU-2.
MOU-1:
On 7 March 2023, the Company announced an update on the proposed testing of
the MOU-1 well drilled and completed in 2021 in the area of the Guercif
Petroleum Agreement onshore Morocco.
In conformance with the current Moroccan regulatory procedures for rigless
well testing, the Company has expressed in writing to the Office National des
Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM") the intention to test MOU-1.
The Company will begin MOU-1 rigless testing at the very earliest opportunity
once the regulatory process has been fully complied with.
MOU-2:
On 25 January 2023, the Company announced that MOU-2 well had been suspended
with an option to re-enter after reaching a depth of 1,260 metres Measured
Depth.
Wireline logs were acquired from the 95/8" casing point at 677 metres to 1,010
metres Measured Depth. The wireline logging tools were not able to log deeper
than this depth due the presence of extremely sticky clays in a geological
formation overlying the Moulouya Fan primary objective.
The debris flow potentially forms a highly effective seal on the underlying
Moulouya Fan. The thickness of the Moulouya Fan reservoir interval is expected
to increase between MOU-1 and MOU-2 based on the sand content of the
debris-flow penetrated in MOU-2 allowed an extrapolation across to MOU-1 to be
made. A re-entry and deepening of MOU-2 will be fully evaluated once a
solution to optimising the drilling mud programme and mud properties has been
completed.
All costs relating to Project Guercif have been capitalised and will be
depreciated once gas discovery is declared commercial and a Plan of
Development has been approved.
In accordance with IFRS 6, the Directors undertook an assessment of the
following areas and circumstances which could indicate the existence of
impairment:
• The Group's right to explore in an area has expired, or will expire in the
near future without renewal
• No further exploration or evaluation is planned or budgeted for
• A decision has been taken by the Board to discontinue exploration and
evaluation in an area due to the absence of a commercial level of reserves
• Sufficient data exists to indicate that the book value may not be fully
recovered from future development and production
Following their assessment, the Directors concluded that no impairment charge
in respect to any licences still held, was necessary for the year ended 31
December 2022(2021: £nil).

FRAM Exploration Trinidad Limited ('FRAM') in respect of the CO2 EOR project
comprising USD360,096 (2021: USD360,096) advanced as cash and USD402,120
(2021: USD402,120) and £26,461 (2021: £26,461) advanced as equipment. The
loans are denominated in both US Dollars and British Pound Sterling, which are
unsecured, interest free and repayable at the discretion of Predator Oil &
Gas Trinidad Limited provided not less than one week's notice is given.
On 7 June 2022, the Company provided an update with regards to the loan
receivable from FRAM, whereby due to a Unilateral termination of the CO2 EOR
Project by Challenger Energy Group Plc ("Challenger") without consultation
with stakeholders and regulatory authorities deprived the Company of the
mechanism to recover its Project Costs, the Company will seek redress for
breach of the terms of the WPA.
On 20 December 2022, the Company announced a settlement agreement with
Challenger, for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of T-Rex
Resources (Trinidad) Limited ("T-Rex"). Part of the transaction includes the
settlement of the total outstanding loan amounts from FRAM.
A security deposit of USD1,500,000 (2021: USD1,500,000) is held by Barclays
Bank in respect of a guarantee provided to Office National des Hydrocarbures
et des Mines (ONHYM) as a condition of being granted the Guercif exploration
licence. These funds are refundable on the completion of the Minimum Work
Programme set out in the terms of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement and
Association Contract.
Prepayments are in respect of amounts paid in advance to the Financial Conduct
Authority, media service providers and an insurance premium.
There are no material differences between the fair value of trade and other
receivables and their carrying value at the year end.

On 17 August 2022, the Company announced the placement of 60,000,000 new
ordinary shares of no par value at a placing price of 5.5 pence per share.
The Company did not have sufficient headroom shares to enable the issue and
admission of all of the 60,000,000 Placing Shares, therefore it was proposed
to issue and admit 45,000,000 new ordinary shares (up to its existing
headroom) (the "New Placing Shares") and for a director, Paul Griffiths, to
transfer by way of a loan of shares (the "Stock Lending Agreement"),
15,000,000 existing shares held by him in order to settle the Placing in a
timely manner.
The 15,000,000 shares were valued at £825,000, being the market value at the
placing price of 5.5 pence per share. Interest shall accrue on the loan
balance at a rate of 6% per annum. Total interest paid and/or accrued for the
year ended 31 December 2022 was £14,331 (2021: £nil).
Should the total of 15,000,000 of no par value shares not be returned to Paul
Griffiths by the 31 August 2023, the interest rate will be 12% per annum.
On 15th November 2022 the Company issued 10,000,000 shares to Paul Griffiths,
with the remaining balance of 5,000,000 remaining outstanding. The total value
attributable to the outstanding shares is £275,000.00.

On 24 November 2022, the executive directors of the Company exercised share
options to raise £1,256,880 to further develop the asset portfolio.
However, as the Company was unable to issue sufficient shares to fund this
program without publishing an FCA approved prospectus, the executive directors
Paul Griffiths and Lonny Baumgardner, with the approval of the independent
non-executive Board members and Novum Securities Limited, to place their
15,710,972 New Ordinary Shares, resulting from the exercised share options, at
a price of £0.08 to raise £1,256,877 before expenses of £92,981.
A back-to-back loan arrangement between the Directors and the Company enabled
the Company to utilise all of the net proceeds after expenses (£749,276 from
the exercise of the options and a Directors' loan ("Loan") of £507,604) from
the placing of the Directors' exercised share options to fund the further
maturing of all of its asset portfolio.
The loan with the executive directors incurs interest at a rate of 4%. Total
interest paid and/or accrued for the year ended 31 December 2022 was £3,201
(2021: £nil).
The executive directors were also issued with share options on the 24
November, details of which are shown in note 19.
As at 31 December 2022, the balances with Paul Griffiths and Lonny Baumgardner
were £324,945 and £187,986 respectively.
16. Financial instruments - risk management
Details of the significant accounting policies in respect of financial
instruments are disclosed on pages 85 to 91.
The Group's financial instruments comprise cash and items arising directly
from its operations such as other receivables, trade payables and loans.
Financial risk management
The Board seeks to minimise its exposure to financial risk by reviewing and
agreeing policies for managing each financial risk and monitoring them on a
regular basis. No formal policies have been put in place in order to hedge the
Group's activities to the exposure to currency risk or interest risk; however,
the Board will consider this periodically.
The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
• Credit risk
• Market risk (includes cash flow interest rate risk and foreign currency
risk)
• Liquidity risk
The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.
The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial
instruments risk arises are as follows:
• Receivables
• Cash and cash equivalents
• Trade and other payables (excluding other taxes and social security)
• Loans: payable within one year and payable in more than one year
The table below sets out the carrying value of all financial instruments by
category and where applicable shows the valuation level used to determine the
fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of all financial assets
and financial liabilities is not materially different to the book value.

receivables. Cash balances are all held at recognised financial institutions.
Other receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables.
Other receivables currently form an insignificant part of the Group's business
and therefore the credit risks associated with them are also insignificant to
the Group as a whole.
The Group has a credit risk in respect of inter-company loans to subsidiaries.
The Company is owed £9,546,184 by its subsidiaries. The recoverability of
these balances is dependent on the commercial viability of the exploration
activities undertaken by the respective subsidiary companies. The credit risk
of these loans is managed as the directors constantly monitor and assess the
viability and quality of the respective subsidiary's investments in intangible
oil & gas assets.

Market risk
Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group has adopted a non-speculative policy on managing interest rate
risk. Only approved financial institutions with sound capital bases are used
to borrow funds and for the investments of surplus funds.
The Group seeks to obtain a favourable interest rate on its cash balances
through the use of bank deposits. The Group's bank paid a total of £4,477
(2021: £nil) interest on cash balances during the year. At 31 December 2022,
the Group had a cash balance of £3.323 million (2021: £1.523 million) which
was made up as follows:
2022 2021
£ £
Sterling 2,108,558 848,338
United States Dollar 830,810 631,522
Euro 28,168 2,910
Moroccan dirham 355,625 40,265
3,323,161 1,523,035
As detailed in Note 15, the Group entered into interest bearing agreements
with the Executive Directors. The agreements have fixed rates of 4% and 6%
(2021: %nil).
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk is inherent in the Group's activities and is accepted as
such. The majority of the Group's expenses are denominated in Sterling and
therefore foreign currency exchange risk arises where any balance is held, or
costs incurred, in currencies other than Sterling. At 31 December 2022 and 31
December 2021, the currency exposure of the Group was as follows:

Trade and other payables 163,447 43,348 38,224 245,019
Liquidity risk
Any borrowing facilities are negotiated with approved financial institutions
at acceptable interest rates. All assets and liabilities are at fixed and
floating interest rate. The Group seeks to manage its financial risk to ensure
that sufficient liquidity is available to meet the foreseeable needs both in
the short and long term. See also references to Going Concern disclosures in
the Strategic Report.
Capital
The objective of the directors is to maximise shareholder returns and minimise
risks by keeping a reasonable balance between debt and equity. At 31 December
2022 the Group's only debt balance relates to the balance due to Directors of
£512,931 (2021: £nil) as per note 15.

£0.0814 (2021: £0.0664). The weighted average life of the warrants at the
year end is 1.4349 years (2021: 1.1249 years).
In addition to the total warrants fair value movement of £436,452, a further
£13,204 (2021: £24,366) was recognised in the total fair value movement for
the year, reflecting the impact of the warrants extension detailed above.

As at 31 December 2022, the Group is not currently involved in any litigation.
However, the Company initiated litigation process with Challenger Energy Group
Plc ("Challenger") as per announcement on 7 June 2022. The process was
resolved by 20 December 2022, when the Company announced that it had entered
into a binding head of terms for the conditional sale of T-Rex Resources
(Trinidad) Limited.
24. Events after the reporting date
25 January 2023
The Company announced an update on the drilling of the MOU-2 well in the
Guercif Petroleum Agreement onshore Morocco.
The MOU-2 well had been suspended with an option to re-enter after reaching a
depth of 1,260 metres Measured Depth.
Below the logged interval down to 1,010 metres Measured Depth a gross interval
of 165 metres was penetrated with up to 100 metres of variable quality sand.
The Moulouya Fan target had not been reached yet in MOU-2 as a consequence of
the requirement to re-evaluate the drilling programme through the unexpected
geological formation encountered in the well.
The mud programme and its compatibility with the previously not seen sand-rich
geological formation represented by the debris-flow will require re-evaluation
to achieve a more cost effective rate of penetration.
6 March 2023
The Company announced that it had received an exercise notice from Optiva
Securities Limited ("Optiva") in respect of 2,035,714 warrants issued to it
pursuant to warrant agreements with the Company:
1,875,000 of the warrants were exercisable at 4 pence per share whilst the
balance of 160,714 warrants were exercisable at GBP0.028 per share.
The Company therefore allotted and issued to Optiva the total of 2,035,714 new
ordinary shares (the "New Shares") following receipt of the aggregate
GBP79,500.
7 March 2023
The Company announced an update on the proposed testing of the MOU-1 well
drilled and completed in 2021 in the area of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement
onshore Morocco.
In conformance with the current Moroccan regulatory procedures for rigless
well testing, the Company had expressed in writing to the Office National des
Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM") the intention to test MOU-1.
8 March 2023
The Company announced an update that, further to entry into a binding term
sheet with Challenger Energy Group PLC and relevant subsidiary entities
("CEG") as announced on 19 December 2022 ("the Transaction"), the Company had
now completed all confirmatory due diligence and the Company and CEG have
subsequently entered into fully termed long-form legal documentation.
17 March 2023
The Company announced that it had conditionally placed 15,500,000 new ordinary
shares of no par value in the Company and 20,863,636 existing ordinary shares
of no par value in the Company transferred by a director of the Company, Paul
Griffiths, (the "Placing Shares") at a placing price of GBP0.055 each (the
"Placing Price") to raise GBP2,000,000 (before expenses) (the "Placing").
The Company will not have sufficient headroom to enable issue and admission of
all of the 36,363,636 Placing Shares which are required to be issued pursuant
to the Placing without producing of an FCA approved prospectus.
The Company is therefore proposing to issue and admit 15,500,000 new ordinary
shares (up to its existing headroom limit existing at 31 March 2023) on 3
April 2023.
On the same date, it is also intended for a director of the Company, Paul
Griffiths, to make up the shortfall by way of a loan of 20,863,636 existing
ordinary shares (the "Loan Shares") held by him in order to settle the Placing
in a timely manner. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of the shares
subject to Novum from Paul Griffiths involves no consideration being paid. The
transfer of these shares is expected to be made on 3 April 2023.
28 March 2023
The Company released an update to the fund raising announced on 17 March 2023,
whereby on that date the Company announced that it had conditionally placed
15,500,000 new ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("New Shares")
and 20,863,636 existing ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Loan
Shares") transferred by a director of the Company, Paul Griffiths, at a
placing price of 5.5 pence each (the "Placing Price") to raise £2,000,000
(before expenses) (the "Placing") for completion on 3 April 2023.
The Company now confirms that the number of New Shares issued will be
14,174,056 whilst the number of Loan Shares to be transferred by Paul
Griffiths will be 22,189,580.
The Loan Shares were valued at £1,220,427 and accrue interest at a rate of 4%
(four percent) above SONIA, with the default rate being 12%.
The total funds raised by the Placing remains at £2,000,000, which is
conditional on the New Shares being admitted to listing on the Official List
(standard listing segment) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main
market for listed securities ("Admission") on or around 3 April 2023 (or such
later date as may be agreed by the Company and Novum).
29 March 2023
The Company announced the issue of share options to Moyra Scott a Drilling
Manager in Morocco as well as her appointment as a director of the Group's
subsidiary company Predator Gas Ventures Ltd.
The total share options granted to Moyra were 3,000,000 options exercisable at
10.0 pence per share and will vest after 6 months or upon the release of a
Company RNS with the MOU-3 wireline log results - whichever occurs first.
3 April 2023
The Company announced admission of 14,174,056 new ordinary shares of no par
value in the Company ("New Shares").
The Company raised a total of £2,000,000 (before expenses).
4 April 2023
The Company announced that Predator Gas Ventures Morocco Branch ("PGVMB") has
awarded the contract for the construction of the MOU-3 well pad platform and
the improvement of access roads to Moroccan company Skayavers Sarl.
Completion of permitting and survey requirements are expected to be finalised
shortly. Civil works are due to start on or before 10 April 2023 to
facilitate the commencement of drilling activities prior to the end of May.
PGVMB confirmed that it has managed to source and order for delivery the most
critical outstanding long lead items in what is a very competitive and
challenging international market at present due to supply chain deficiencies.
An update on the MOU-1 testing programme will be provided in due course and it
is expected to be executed in April. It will be scheduled around the MOU-3
pre-drill planning, which is the current priority in order to enable MOU-3 to
commence drilling at the earliest opportunity.
The materials and logistical requirements for a potential re-entry of the
suspended well MOU-2 are being evaluated, but it is not expected that any such
operation would be executed before the completion of drilling p
25. Ultimate controlling party
In the opinion of the Directors there is no ultimate controlling party as no
one individual is deemed to satisfy this definition.
26. Prior year adjustment
An error in relation to share based payments in the 2021 financial statements
has been identified and corrected, and put through the financial statements as
a prior year adjustment. The 2021 comparatives have been restated for the
correction of this errors, details of which are given below.
The prior year adjustment only impacts the December 2021 figures and therefore
no third statement of financial position is required to be disclosed. The
changes have resulted in changes in both the Statement of Comprehensive Income
for 2021 and the Statement of Financial Position. However, the prior year
adjustments have not had any impact on the overall accumulated loss stated for
the Group for 2022 or the total net assets of the Group for 2022.
In 2021, share options previous granted to a previous director were cancelled.
In accordance with IFRS 2, the remaining charge of £118,751 should have been
accelerated and expenses to the Statement of Comprehensive Income as a
share-based payment. This resulted in an increased operating loss of
£118,751. Subsequently, the total fair value of the share options of
£237,278, as included in the share-based payment reserve should have been
recycled to retained deficit.
