Notes to editors

Mosman (AIM:MSMN) is an oil exploration, development, and production company with projects in the US and Australia. 

Mosman's strategic objectives remain consistent: to identify opportunities which will provide operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with progressing exploration of existing exploration permits.

The Company has seven projects in the US: Stanley, Greater Stanley, Livingston, Winters, Challenger and Champion in East Texas and Arkoma in Oklahoma in addition to exploration projects in the Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.

Operations Review

Mosman's strategic objective remains to identify opportunities which will provide operating cash flow and have further development upside, in conjunction with adding value to the Company's existing exploration permits.

Mosman has established increasing strong oil and gas production. The company has a portfolio of development and exploration projects, which provide the opportunity for further production growth and increasing cashflow. Two exploration areas in Australia are positioned to take advantage of the increasing demand for Helium and Hydrogen as well as Oil and Gas.

Oil and gas prices have increased as economies recover from Covid19 and the recent events in Europe. These increased prices mean more cashflow from production, and added value to the portfolio of development projects such as Cinnabar.

More than $940,000 was spent on increasing production and exploration during the period.

The Company's production base continues to build with the purchase of Working Interest (WI) in producing wells and the drilling and completions of Stanley-5 and Winters-2.

East Texas Highlights

·      Drilled the Stanley-5 and Winters-2 wells:

-       Both of these wells are now on production

-       Continued the 100% success rate on development wells being put on production

·      Completed installation of the gas infrastructure to enable gas sales from Stanley and Winters

·      Completed the Acquisition of Nadsoilco LLC:

-       20% increase in WI in the Stanley Project from 15-19% to 35-39%

-       20% WI in the oil producing Livingston Leases

-       23.3% WI in oil producing Winters Lease with development well to be drilled

-       Mosman becomes Operator of these leases, providing more control over day-to-day operations and drilling new wells

·      Completed the acquisition of an additional 25% WI in Falcon-1 well increasing WI to 75% WI:

-       Production is steady

·      Cinnabar project:

-       Completed the acquisition of an additional 15% WI increasing WI to 85%

-       Completed 3D seismic reprocessing and interpretation

-       Identified potential development drilling locations with multiple Wilcox sand targets

Results

The unaudited results for the six months to 31 December 2021 reflect the ongoing recovery from the drop in oil prices in 2019/2020. Revenue increased by $363,652 to $745,790 (2020: $383,138) mainly due to the increased working interests following the acquisition of Nadsoilco LLC and additional interest in Falcon. Gross Profit increased to $188,487 (2020: $56,828).

The average sale prices achieved during the period was US$71.07 per barrel for oil, and US$3.74 per MMBtu for gas (in each case after transport and processing costs and prior to royalties).

Corporate and administrative expenses were tightly controlled which resulted in a decrease of $92k to $506,610 (2020: $598,802).

The overall result for the period was a net loss of $498,940 (2020: $708,822), and total comprehensive loss of $326,289 (2020: $537,739).

Projects

Mosman has Working Interests in several onshore producing projects located in the USA. The Company also owns one granted exploration permit and one application for an exploration permit in the Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.

Production Summary for the six months ending 31 December 2021

Net Production attributable to Mosman before royalties for the six months to 31 December 2021 was 17,344 boe, an increase of 5,201 boe, or 43% compared to the six months to June 2021 of 12,143 boe. This is despite the operational issues experienced in December that reduced the production in the 3 months to 31 December 2021. This progress reflects the uplift in production from growth of existing projects, the acquisition of Nadsoilco LLC and an increased interest in Falcon.

It does not reflect recent increases in production at Falcon which occurred after 31 December 2021 and does not include the Winters-2 well which was drilled in November and was recently recompleted and flowed gas. It also only includes minor production from Stanley-5.

Subsequent Events

In the quarter ending 31 March 2022, the Company completed the construction of a gas network to allow gas to be transferred to market. This development has already enabled sale of gas from Winters-2 and Stanley-4.

A 12 month extension of the Amadeus Basin Permit EP-145 License was approved by the Minister for Mining and Industry in the Northern Territory Government in February 2022. An on-site environmental survey was completed in March 2022.

Condensed Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2021

All amounts are Australian Dollars

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Statement of Compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's 2021 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The directors have considered the funding and operational status of the business in arriving at their assessment of going concern and believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, based upon the following:

·      The ability to further vary cash flow depending upon the achievement of certain milestones within the business plan and;

·      The ability of the Company to obtain funding through various sources, including debt and equity.

However, should the Group be unable to raise further required financing from equity markets or other sources, there is uncertainty which may cast doubt as to whether or not the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Exploration and Evaluation Costs

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area for which the rights to tenure are current and that has not at reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or relating to, the area of interest are continuing.

Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets.

Condensed Notes to the Financial Statements

For the Half-Year Ended 31 December 2021

All amounts are Australian Dollars

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Impairment tests are carried out when there are indicators of impairment in order to identify whether the asset carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts. There is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss.

The key areas of judgement and estimation include:

·      Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;

·      Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements; and

·      Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Revenue Reporting

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue from joint operations is recognised based on the Group's share of the sale by the joint operation.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Oil and Gas assets

The cost of oil and gas producing assets and capitalised expenditure on oil and gas assets under development are accounted for separately and are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Costs include expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the item as well as past exploration and evaluation costs.

When an oil and gas asset commences production, costs carried forward are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the economically recoverable reserves. Changes in factors such as estimates of economically recoverable reserves that affect amortisation calculations do not give rise to prior financial period adjustments and are dealt with on a prospective basis.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance.

New standards and interpretations

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
