Odyssey Energy Limited Interim Financial Report for the Half Year Ended 31 December 2016

DIRECTORS' REPORT

==> picture [160 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

The Board of Directors of Odyssey Energy Limited present their report on the consolidated entity of Odyssey Energy Limited (“the Company” or “Odyssey”) and the entities it controlled during the half year ended 31 December 2016 (“Consolidated Entity”).

DIRECTORS

The names of the Directors of Odyssey in office during the half year and until the date of this report are:

Mr Ian Middlemas Chairman Mr Mark Pearce Non-Executive Director Mr David Cruse Non-Executive Director

Unless otherwise shown, all Directors were in office from the beginning of the half year until the date of this report.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Operations

Highlights during the half year and since the end of the half year include:

  • (i) The Company continued in its efforts to identify and acquire suitable new business opportunities in the oil and gas, resources and other sectors, both domestically and overseas. The Company reviewed a number of opportunities, and will make announcements to the market as appropriate should an acquisition occur;

  • (ii) Odyssey has an acreage position with gas rights in McLean County, Kentucky, USA. The McLean County Project is adjacent to historical gas wells, and the Company is reviewing the available historical data in order to determine how to best proceed with the project; and

  • (iii) The Company has announced its intention to undertake a 2 for 1 pro rata renounceable entitlements issue (“Entitlements Issue”). The funds raised will enable the Company to progress its existing oil and gas leases and better assist the Company in expanding its existing project base and attracting new business opportunities in the oil and gas sector.

McLean County Project – Odyssey 100% WI

The Company has an acreage position with gas rights in McLean County, Kentucky, USA.

The project comprises a 100% working interest in gas leases totalling 710 acres and are located adjacent to the Rough Creek Fault System, which is a large regional fault system. Several historical gas wells are contained within or adjacent to the project.

The Company is reviewing available historical data to determine future activity for this project area, which may include expansion of the lease area footprint and/or exploration activities.

As previously advised, the system for obtaining title to gas leases in the USA is complex given that numerous parties may hold the undivided mineral rights to a particular tract of land. This can be a lengthy and expensive process. It is therefore customary that such title opinions are not sought until the Company proposes to conduct a drilling operation and/or expend significant amounts of money on a particular lease. As a result, limited title work has been conducted to date, and further title work will need to be completed before any substantial exploration expenditure is incurred.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)

Operations (Continued)

McClain County Project

Odyssey’s interest in the McClain County Project in Oklahoma has expired, and based on available data no further action was taken. The Company has previously written down the carrying value of the project so there is no impact on the Company’s financial position or planned future spend.

Corporate

In October 2016, the Company announced its intention to undertake an entitlements issue (“Entitlements Issue”) to raise additional funds. The Entitlements Issue was subsequently deferred until early 2017. Amended terms for the Entitlements Issue were announced in March 2017 and the Company will now seek to undertake a 2 for 1 pro rata renounceable issue. The Entitlements Issue will enable the Company to progress its existing oil and gas leases, and will better assist the Company in expanding its existing project base and attracting new business opportunities in the oil and gas sector.

Business Development

During the half year, the Company continued to assess a number of new business opportunities targeting oil and gas, resource and other sectors including technology, both domestically and overseas. No agreements have been reached or licences granted and the Directors are not able to assess the likelihood or timing of a successful acquisition or grant of any opportunities.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Odyssey Energy Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Odyssey Energy Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of cash flows and the condensed statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 4 to 11.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Odyssey Energy Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Odyssey Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Odyssey Energy Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
