C.O. Cyprus Opportunity Energy Public Company Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 10 February 2012 (registration no. HE301167) as a limited liability company under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. On 17 July 2012, the Company was listed on the Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group").
According to the Company's Admission Document, the primary intention of the Group is to participate in oil and/or gas exploration and upstream activities in the exclusive economic zone ("EEZ") of Cyprus. The Group's upstream activities refer to the searching for and the recovery and production of oil and natural gas. Such activities involve the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the raw oil and natural gas to the surface. As Plan B the Group's management will leverage its strong business network in the oil and gas upstream field to pursue participation in other projects in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus and in oil and gas projects around the world. As Plan C, the Group will invest in securities of oil and gas exploration companies in the Levant Basin.
During the second half of 2017, the Group through its wholly owned subsidiary Cyprus Opportunity Energy Inc., has commenced development activities in oil fields in North Dakota, USA.
For further details on the background information, please refer to the notes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The net loss for the period attributable to the shareholders of the Group amounted to US\$79,694 (2018: US\$104,933).
During the six months period ended 30 June 2019 the Group has reported a gross loss of US\$28,458 (2018: US\$12,306), arising wholly from the activities under North Dakota project (please refer to Note 1 of the Financial Statements). The increase in gross loss is mainly attributable to lower revenues as a result of a temporary cessation in oil and gas production from two wells during the period and changes in oil and gas prices. Production of oil and gas from the two above mentioned wells had recommenced by the end of the period.
Expenses incurred by the Group during the period included administrative expenses of US\$51,292 (2018:US\$98,910). The Group's efforts to rationalize its cost base brought the desired outcome.
On 30 June 2019 the total assets of the Group were US\$354,651 (31 December 2018: US\$421,832), including cash and cash equivalents in the amount of US\$26,175 (31 December 2018: US\$17,986), and the net assets of the Group were US\$221,394 (31 December 2018: US\$301,088).
The Group's current strategy is to explore the possibility of forming strategic partnerships with other license holders and/or directly invest in entities which are involved in oil and gas exploration activities, as it has done in the case of North Dakota investment and Hatrurim License (please refer to Note 1 of the Financial Statements). In addition, the Group maintains as its objective the performance and/or participation in other projects dealing with exploration, production and marketing of oil and gas, as these may be defined by its Board of Directors from time to time.
For the six months period ended 30 June 2019
For any changes in the share capital during the six months ended 30 June 2019, please refer to Note 16 of the financial statements.

According to the Company's Admission Document, the primary intention of the Group is to participate in oil and/or gas exploration and upstream activities in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus. The Group's upstream activities refer to the searching for and the recovery and production of oil and natural gas. Such activities involve the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the raw oil and natural gas to the surface.

On 11 May 2012, the Company together with Petrica Energy AS (collectively the "Consortium"), submitted applications for two offshore hydrocarbons exploration licenses (Blocks 2 and 8) through the tender for the Second Licensing Round for offshore exploration initiated by the Government of Cyprus.
In 2013, the Company was informed by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of the Republic of Cyprus (the "Ministry") that the applications for Blocks 2 and 8 were rejected.
On 20 June 2017 the Supreme Court of Cyprus issued its unanimous judgement by which it dismissed the Consortium's Recourse and Block 8 was awarded to another company. The Company and its shareholders are considering their options and possible action in relation to this judgement.
On November 18, 2018 the Company and her partners in Hatrurim License returned the License to the Petroleum Commissioner at the Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water of Israel (the "Commissioner").
On January 6, 2019 the Commissioner returned all guarantees related to Hatrurim License.

On July 27,2017 the Company together with Israel Opportunity Energy Recourses Limited Partnership and Radian Partnership, LP (collectively the "Buyers"), entered into a farmout agreement with independent third parties (the "Sellers"), for the acquisition of rights in ten sections (approximately 640 acre each and total area of approximately 6,400 acre) in oil fields in North Dakota, USA (the " Properties" and "Farmout Agreement"). According to the Farmout Agreement the Buyers undertook to finance all costs and expenses of the Buyers and the Sellers with regards to the execution of the first four re completion drillings in the Properties and/or other drillings in the Properties (drilling in each segment) up to a total of US\$10 million (for the 100%) ("Amount of Committed Investment") by June 30th 2019 (the "Investment Deadline"). The Investment Deadline will be postponed in case of force majeure scenario such as uneconomic oil prices. According to the Farmout agreement the Buyers with gradually earn in the assignments in the Properties according to the performance of the re completion and in any case will be fully earned in and the assignment of all the Properties will made after the earlier of: (a) the first four re completion drillings in the Properties or (b) spending the Amount of Committed Investment. Accordingly, after the first four re completion drillings in the Properties, as of April 1st 2018 the assignment in all the Properties was made to the Buyers. Inter alia due to the oil prices and the status of the North Dakota project as of the date hereof only 6,551,000 USD (for the 100%) was invested in the project.

As a result of these works 4 wells are producing oil and gas on a daily basis, 3 wells produce oil and gas alternately and 3 well are currently shutin. During May and June 2019 the North Dakota participating interest holders performed certain improvement works which cost approximately US\$9,000 for the Company, in addition these works caused higher volume of salt water disposal expenses and other related expenses, which were also reflected in the P&L report.
The sale of oil and gas produced from all producing sections resulted in an increase in revenues, which amounted to US\$92,637 as at 31 December 2018.

The Group makes full provision for the future cost of decommissioning oil and gas wells on a discounted basis on the installation of those wells and infrastructure.
The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to oil and gas properties, which are expected to be incurred up to 2026, when the existing producing oil and gas properties are expected to cease operations. These provisions have been created based on the estimates of the operator. Assumptions based on the current economic environment have been made, which management believes form a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions.
As at 30 June 2019, the net book amount of the decommissioning provision, after the unwinding of discount charged to profit or loss in the amount of US\$420, was US15,042 (31 December 2018: US\$14,622).
