Tethys Oil is a Swedish energy company focused on exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Tethys Oil's core area is Oman, where the company is one of the largest onshore oil and gas concession holders. Tethys Oil also have exploration and production assets onshore Lithuania and France. The shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm (TETY).

Dear Friends and Investors

Once upon a time, actually not too long ago, Tethys was an event driven fringe-company. An exploration company offering lots of optimism and hope, but with a poor income statement and a weak balance sheet. Today, when we present this report filled with record numbers, that time seems a distant past. Gone are the zero sales lines and discussions on future capital needs. The revenues of MSEK 245 this quarter was a record high. EBITDA for the quarter was a healthy MSEK 192 and our net result for the quarter amounted to MSEK 107 (incidentally both also record numbers). In brief, we are now an oil company with substantial assets and strong finances. Future exploratory and appraisal work can now be funded from cash flow, or bank borrowing secured by reserves.

Now, analysts can have opinions about our upcoming reports and investors can speculate in share buy backs or even future dividends. It is great, at least in some respects, to be part of 'quarterly capitalism'. But this marvelous transition does not mean that we have lost our soul. We made it here, not through mergers or acquisitions, but through success with the drill bit. Through persistent and systematic efforts of appraisal and exploration along our strategic lines.

The main driver behind our record high production of 7,232 barrels of oil per day in the second quarter (superseded in July by a new record production number of 8,239 barrels of oil per day) was the continued successful appraisal of the Lower Buah reservoir on Block 4. We have drilled four new appraisal/exploration wells in the Lower Buah reservoir and one in the Khufai reservoir on Block 4. All have been successful and put in production.

As a consequence, we commissioned an interim reserve report from our reserve auditors, DeGolyer and MacNaughton, to estimate Lower Buah reserves as at 30 June 2014. But before we look at the numbers, let us just bear in mind that our appraisal strategy remains focused on production and cash flow, and only thereafter on reserve estimates. However, also with this conservative strategy, our reserve increase in Lower Buah for the first six months of 2014 has been quite satisfactory. When we compare the Lower Buah numbers to the reserve report as per 31 December 2013, our June 2P is larger than our December 3P number and the Lower Buah continues to show promise as one of our most important reservoirs. The 3P number for June stands at no less than 7.4 million barrels. But let us not forget that we have also made additional discoveries in the Khufai and that most of our production still comes from the Barik reservoir in the Farha South field. Exploration and appraisal work will continue throughout 2014 and we look forward to a new year-end reserve audit.

Onshore Oman is not our only project area. Lithuania should offer exploration wells later this year, our assets in France are quiet but not dead and new areas and other projects may loom in the future. As our growth continues, we are staffing up with new senior colleagues. In Muscat, on 1 September Mr Hussain Al Lawati, a former Director General of Exploration of the Ministry of Oil and Gas, will join Tethys, most recently from a senior position with Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production. And in Stockholm, former investment banker Mr. Jesper Alm, has recently joined us.

So stay with us - the journey continues, albeit at a higher level!

Stockholm in August 2014

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW1

Production, reserves and net sales

Production

Tethys Oil's primary production comes from onshore Oman where the company has 30 per cent interest in Blocks 3 and 4. Through an indirect interest of 25 per cent of Gargzdai Lithuania, Tethys Oil has supplemental production.

Production from Block 3 and 4 onshore Oman comes from two fields - the Farha South and Saiwan East oil fields - and from the Lower Buah structures within the exploration areas on Block 4. The production development has mainly been driven by continued implementation of the water injection programme on Farha South and even more importantly from the successful exploration and appraisal results from the Lower Buah structures within the exploration areas on Block 4. Production from Oman accounts for 97 per cent of total production.

During the first half year of 2014, the Blocks 3&4 Joint Venture's share of production has continued to be 52 per cent of total production, which is the highest possible share of production according to the terms of the EPSA. Tethys Oil's share of the Joint Venture is 30 per cent. For further information regarding Tethys Oil's share of production, please refer to the Annual Report 2013. The high share of production will remain as long as there are remaining recoverable costs, which are created through further investments in the blocks. The estimated recoverable costs as per 30 June 2014, net to Tethys Oil, amounts to MUSD 62.

Production from the Gargzdai licence in western Lithuania is in line with the previous quarter. Tethys Oil's interest in Gargzdai is held indirectly through Odin Energi A/S, an associated Danish company.

Reserves

Following successful appraisal drilling during the first six months of 2014 of the Lower Buah reservoir on Block 4 onshore the Sultanate of Oman, Tethys Oil has commissioned an interim report from the company's reserve auditors, DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited, to estimate Lower Buah reserves as at 30 June 2014. The Barik reservoir at the Farha South oil field on Block 3 and the Khufai reservoir at the Saiwan East oil field on Block 4 are not covered in this interim reserve report.

Oman

Tethys Oil's net working interest reserves in the Lower Buah reservoir, including what was previously referred to as "Exploration area 4 (B4EW4), Oman", on Block 4 onshore the Sultanate of Oman as per 30 June 2014, amounted to 2.3 million barrels of oil ("mmbo") of proven reserves (1P), 5.0 mmbo of proven and probable reserves (2P) and 7.4 mmbo of proven, probable and possible reserves (3P).

The review of the reserves in Oman has been conducted by independent petroleum consultant DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited ("D&M"). The report has been calculated using 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), Guidelines of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), World Petroleum Council (WPC), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE).

Net sales

During the second quarter 2014, Tethys Oil sold 350,059 barrels of oil after government take from Block 3 and 4 in Oman compared to 280,782 during first quarter 2014. This resulted in net sales during the second quarter 2014 of MSEK 245 compared to MSEK 195 during the first quarter 2014. The average selling price per barrel amounted to USD 106 per barrel during the second quarter 2014 compared to USD 107 per barrel during the first quarter 2014.

During the second quarter 2014 the sold volumes and net sales have basically been in line with the production development and to some extent caught up with the very strong production increase during the first quarter 2014. The underlift position as per 31 December 2013 amounted to 13,261 barrels and was increased to 43,428 barrels as per 31 March 2014 and reduced to 30,105 as per 30 June 2014. For the first half 2014, the net sales

development has not been as strong as the production development, although the second quarter reduced the effect.

The SEK/USD exchange rate has been stable between the first quarter 2014 and the second quarter 2014 with less than 1 per cent depreciation of the SEK in relation to USD.

The selling price received by Tethys Oil is determined for each calendar month based on the monthly average price of the two month future contract of Omani blend (see chart below) as traded on Dubai Mercantile Exchange. During the second quarter 2014, prices have been trading between high levels of USD 107 per barrel and low levels of USD 102 per barrel. Second quarter 2014 prices are in line with the previous quarters.

Result

Tethys Oil reports a net result after tax for the second quarter 2014 of MSEK 107, representing earnings per share of SEK 3.02. The result for the second quarter 2014 is up 86 per cent compared to the first quarter 2014 mainly due to strong sales development combined with lower operating expenditure per barrel. The result for the first half 2014 is 109 per cent higher than the first half 2013, adjusted for the one-off bonus received from Mitsui during first half 2013, following the approval of the Field Development Plan.

Net profit from associated companies

Tethys Oil holds indirect interest in the three Lithuanian licences; Gargzdai, Rietavas and Raiseiniai. Tethys Oil holds a share in these licences through the interests in associated companies Jylland Olie and Odin Energi. Total result from Tethys Oils shares in associated companies Odin Energi and Jylland Olie during the second quarter 2014 amounted to MSEK 1 compared to MSEK 1 during the first quarter 2014.

Net financial result

The result for the first half 2014 has been impacted by net foreign exchange losses and interest on long term debt. The currency exchange effect of the group amounts to MSEK 9 and most of the effect relates to the stronger US dollar in relation to the Swedish krona. Currency translation differences between the parent company and subsidiaries are non-cash related items. Interest on long term debt amounted to MSEK 29 and other financial expenditures amounted to MSEK 14. The currency exchange effect and interest on long term debt is part of net financial result amounting to MSEK 52 for the second quarter. The financial result of the first half 2014 is affected by the bond redemption conducted during the second quarter 2014. The total expenditures related to the bond loan amounted during the first half 2014 to MSEK 34, where the extraordinary effect of the early redemption, including extra interest payment and expensing all associated costs with the bond financing, amounted to MSEK 23.

Depletion, depreciation and amortisation

Depletion, depreciation and amortisation ("DD&A") for the second quarter 2014 amounted to MSEK 57 compared to MSEK 48 for the first quarter 2014. Higher DD&A is referable to depletion of oil and gas properties which furthermore only relate to Blocks 3&4. The depletion development between second quarter 2014 and the previous quarter is explained by the higher production. The production has increased faster than reserves have been verified, creating a higher proportion of depletion.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (OPEX) amounted during the second quarter 2014 to MSEK 46 compared to MSEK 59 during the first quarter 2014. Operating expenses are related to oil and gas production on Block 3 and 4 in Oman, for example expenses for trucking, tariffs, supervision and administration etc. Furthermore, over and underlift adjustments are made within the Operating expenses category, in accordance with Tethys Oil's accounting principles. Due to an underlift position as per 30 June 2014 amounting to 30,105 barrels, the Operating expenses during the second quarter 2014 have been reduced by MSEK 1. On a per produced barrel level, the Operating expenditures were reduced from USD 15.2 per barrel during the first quarter 2014 to USD 10.6 per barrel during the second quarter 2014. The decrease in Operating expenses is explained by both higher production levels and late incoming expenses from 2013 affecting first quarter 2014.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 8 for the second quarter 2014 compared to MSEK 6 during first quarter 2014. Administrative expenses are mainly salaries, rents, listing costs and external services.

Investments and work program

Omani assets

During the second quarter 2014, total investments amounted to MSEK 79 of which MSEK 78 relate to Blocks 3 & 4. A total of 12 wells were completed on Blocks 3 and 4 during the quarter.

The water injection programme on Farha South continued with three water injector wells and one water source well completed in the quarter. Three production wells were also drilled in the Farha South field. A number of wells in the Farha South field have also been worked over.

The appraisal of the Lower Buah in exploration areas 4 and 6 on Block 4 has continued with the drilling of one appraisal well on area 4 and three appraisal wells on area 6. All four wells encountered oil and have been hooked up to the production equipment. A 12 inch flowline has been constructed from area 4 to production facilities on the Saiwan East field replacing the previous trucking.

An exploration well on area 7 was completed in the second quarter. The area 7 structure was previously undrilled and is located approximately 20 kilometres north of area 6. The well encountered oil and was completed in the Khufai layer. The well has been hooked up to the production system to undergo a long term production test.

An exploration well in the eastern part of Block 4 onshore Oman started in June. The well, LE-1, is being drilled almost 100 kilometres east of the Saiwan East oilfield in the Bar Al Hickman area in the eastern part of Block 4 in a previously undrilled area.

Currency exchange effects

The book value of oil and gas properties includes currency exchange effects of MSEK 17, which are not cash related items and therefore not included in investments. For more information please see above under Result – Net financial result.

Lithuanian assets

Tethys Oil's interests in three Lithuanian licences are held through two private Danish companies. For more information regarding the ownership structure, please refer to note 8. As per 30 June 2014 the shareholding in the two associated Danish companies, Odin Energi and Jylland Olie, amounted to MSEK 171. The book value has been affected by a depletion of MSEK 5 which was made during the second quarter. The depletion is made by applying the unit of production method, where the depletion rate is determined by the production to reserves rate. Starting in the second quarter 2014 the producing Lithuanian assets will be depleted using the above mentioned method.

Tethys Oil's share of net profit during the second quarter 2014 from Odin Energi and Jylland Olie, which indirectly hold the Lithuanian licences, amounted to MSEK 1 compared to MSEK 1 during first quarter 2014. The second quarter 2014 result was mainly generated from selling 6 821 barrels (Tethys Oil's indirect share) at an average price of USD 111 per barrel, compared to 10,969 barrels at an average price of USD 111 per barrel during the first quarter 2014. Tethys Oil expects part of the cash flow from the indirectly held Lithuanian interests to be distributed to Tethys Oil in form of a dividend. During the second quarter 2014, Tethys Oil received a dividend from the Lithuanian assets of MSEK 11.

The drilling of infill wells has continued on the Gargzdai licence during the second quarter. Results are mildly encouraging and give some hope of production increases in the third quarter.

On the Rietavas licence, the work programme continues. Focus has been on 2D seismic while analysis and interpretation of cores continues.

The reefal prospects mapped by last year's 3D seismic study have been further investigated through inversion analysis and prospect ranking is in progress with a view to start a drilling campaign later during the third quarter.

Liquidity and financing

Cash and bank as per 30 June 2014 amounted to MSEK 33 compared to MSEK 295 as per 31 December 2013. Net debt as per 30 June 2014 amounted to MSEK -3 (i.e. net cash position) compared to MSEK 127 as per 31 December 2013.

The decrease in liquidity is explained by the repayment of a bond loan with nominal value MSEK 400 which was conducted during the second quarter. The bond was replaced by a four-year, up to MUSD 100, senior revolving reserve based lending facility with BNP Paribas as facility agent. During the second quarter, Tethys exercised its

2

option for early redemption of the bonds and redeemed all outstanding bonds. The early redemption price was 104.50 per cent of the nominal amount of the bonds plus accrued unpaid interest. The payment and redemption occurred 7 April 2014. The interest rate of the new credit facility is floating between LIBOR + 3.75 per cent to LIBOR + 4.00 per cent per annum, depending on the level of utilization of the facility. As per 30 June 2014, there was no outstanding debt, i.e. nothing was borrowed from the new credit facility.

The reduction of net debt during the first half 2014 is explained by the strong sales development on Blocks 3 and 4, which has been significantly higher than the oil and gas investments during the same period.

The development of Block 3 and 4 continues, with a main focus on exploration, appraisal and a water injection programme to enhance production. Lead times to bring discoveries to production remain very short. Tethys Oil's share of the total Joint Venture investment budget for 2014 on Blocks 3&4, amounts to around MSEK 400. The investment budget is expected to be fully financed by cash flow from operations.

Tethys Oil's operations in Lithuania is expected to continue to be self-financed from oil production on the Gargzdai licence and financed by available cash in the associated Lithuanian companies.

A large part of cash and cash equivalents are kept in USD which has appreciated against SEK during the second quarter. The currency exchange effect on cash and cash equivalents amounted during the second quarter 2014 to MSEK 11.

Derivative instruments

As per 30 June 2014, Tethys Oil holds oil price put options (Brent) amounting to MSEK 0.2. The total numbers of put options are 390,000, equalling 65,000 options per month from July to December 2014. The options will expire each month and all have strike price USD 90 per barrel, where one option equals the right to sell one barrel. The put options were acquired to secure oil price at USD 90 per barrel without limiting upside potential should oil prices be higher at each monthly lifting. The acquisition of put options was made to match expected expenditures 2014. The average premium paid was USD 1.37 per barrel. The value of the put options as per 31 March 2014 amounted to MSEK 2 and during the second quarter 2014, 195,000 options have expired.

Parent company

The Parent company reports a net result after tax for the second quarter 2014 amounting to MSEK -31 compared to MSEK -21 for the first quarter 2014. Administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 6 for the second quarter 2014 compared to MSEK 4 for the first quarter 2014. Net financial loss amounted to MSEK 23 during the second quarter 2014 compared to MSEK 20 for the first quarter 2014. Additional interest paid on the bond loan in conjunction with the early redemption has had a negative impact on net financial result during the second quarter 2014. In conjunction with the early redemption, the parent company was repaid for the previous loan to the subsidiary Tethys Oil Blocks 3 and 4 Ltd. The turnover in the Parent company relates to chargeouts of services to subsidiaries.

Share data

As per 30 June 2014, the number of outstanding shares in Tethys Oil amount to 35,543,750, with a quota value of SEK 0.17. All shares represent one vote each. Tethys Oil does not have any incentive program for employees. There has been no change in the number of shares since 31 December 2013.

Risks and uncertainties

A statement of risk and uncertainties are presented in note 1, page 16.

Subsequent events

  • In July 2014, after the reporting period, Tethys increased its indirect interest in the Rietavas licence onshore Lithuania from 14 to 30 per cent as joint venture partner Chevron elected to leave the licence. The work programme continues as planned and is fully funded from available funds within the joint venture company. The increase is an effect of the adjustment of the shareholding in the associated Lithuanian companies
  • Tethys Oil's share of production from Oman during July 2014 amounted to 255,400 barrels of oil corresponding to an average daily production of 8,239 barrels of oil per day

Note 1) Risks and uncertainties

The Group's activities expose it to a number of risks and uncertainties which are continuously monitored and reviewed. The main risks and uncertainties are operational and financial risks described below.

Operational risk

At its current stage of development Tethys Oil is partly commercially producing oil and partly exploring for and appraising undeveloped known oil and/or natural gas accumulations. The operational risk is different in these different parts of Tethys Oil's operations. The main operational risk in exploration and appraisal activities is that the activities and investments made by Tethys Oil and its partners will not evolve into commercial reserves of oil and gas. The oil price is of significant importance to Tethys Oil in all parts of operations as income and profitability is and will be dependent on prices prevailing from time to time. Significantly lower oil prices will reduce current and expected profitability in projects and can make projects sub economic. Lower oil prices could also decrease the industry interest in Tethys Oil's projects regarding farmout or sale of assets. As per 30 June 2014, Tethys Oil owns 390,000 put options, equalling 65,000 options per month from July to December 2014. These put options have a strike price of USD 90 per barrel to secure oil price during 2014 without limiting any upside potential should market oil prices be higher. These put options therefore reduce the oil price risk during 2014 significantly.

Another operational risk factor is access to equipment in Tethys Oil's project. Especially in the drilling/development phase of a project the group is dependent on advanced equipment such as rigs, casing, pipes etc. A shortage of theses supplies can present difficulties for Tethys Oil to fulfil projects. Through its operations Tethys Oil is furthermore subject to political risk, environmental risk and the risk of not being able to retain key personnel.

Financial risk

By operating in several countries, Tethys Oil is exposed to fluctuations in a number of currencies. Income is and will also most likely be denominated in foreign currencies, US dollars in particular. Furthermore, Tethys Oil has since inception been equity financed through share issues and financed by asset divestment. Additional capital may be needed to finance Tethys Oil's future operations and/or for acquisition of additional licences. The main risk is that this need may occur during less favourable market conditions.

A more detailed analysis of the Group's risks and uncertainties and how the Group addresses these risks, are given in the Annual report for 2013.

Note 6) Other income

In accordance with the farmout agreement with Mitsui from 2010, Tethys Oil received from Mitsui a bonus amounting to MSEK 65 (MUSD 10) as commercial production exceeded 10,000 bopd for 30 consecutive days and following the approval of the Field Development Plan ("FDP") December 2012. The bonus was received during the first quarter 2013.

Parts of the administrative expenses in Tethys Oil are charged to oil and gas projects where the expenditures are capitalised. In case of Tethys Oil being the operator, these administrative expenditures are, through the above, also funded by the partners. The chargeout to the projects where Tethys Oil is operator is presented in the consolidated income statement as Other income. All other internal chargeouts are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 7) Derivative instruments

As per 30 June 2014, Tethys Oil holds oil price put options (Brent) amounting to MSEK 0 (5). The total numbers of put options are 390,000, equalling 65,000 options per month from July to December 2014. The options will expire for each month and all have strike price USD 90 per barrel. The put options were acquired to secure oil price at USD 90 per barrel without limiting upside potential should oil prices be higher.

The value of the put options are based on a fair market value at the end of a reporting period and any change to the previous valuation will be accounted for as a financial income or financial expenditure. The put options are acquired to secure oil price and thereby sales and hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 will not be applicable.

Note 8) Associates
