Directors' Report

The directors of Petratherm Ltd ('Petratherm') present their Report together with the financial statements of the consolidated entity, being Petratherm ('the Company') and its controlled entities ('the Group') for the half year ended 31 December 2015 and the Independent Auditor's Review Report thereon.

Director Details

The following persons were directors of Petratherm during or since the end of the reporting period.

Mr. Simon O'Loughlin, Non-Executive Chairman Mr. Terry Kallis, Executive Director Mr. Donald Stephens, Non-Executive Director

Operating Result

The group's loss for the half year ended 31 December 2015 after providing for income tax amounted to $234,952 (2014: $239,253).

Principal Activites

The principal activities of the Company and consolidated entities ('the Group') during the reporting period were:

  • · Undertaking of remediation ground works and placement of the Paralana Engineered Geothermal Project on care and maintenance.
  • · Exploration for conventional and unconventional oil and gas on the Company's Tasmania Petroleum Exploration Tenement.
  • · Explore ways of containing costs whilst reviewing new projects that will be accretive to shareholder value

There have been no significant changes in the nature of those activities during the reporting period.

Review of Operations

During the reporting period exploration and evaluation costs amounted to $67,000 relating to our Spanish and Paralana geothermal projects and the Tasmanian petroleum exploration play. In September 2015, surface rehabilitation works at the Paralana 2 drill site was undertaken.

The drilling sump and water storage ponds were rehabilitated. The drill casing stockpile, a mobile office and other site equipment associated with the drilling and fracture stimulation works were removed from site. The Paralana 2 Well remains under general care and maintenance.

The Company's Tasmanian oil and gas tenement which is 3855 km2 . Is prospective for both conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources. Geochemical assessment during the period from drill core samples has determined that hydrocarbons have migrated from source rocks and therefore there is potential for conventional oil and gas accumulations in hydrocarbon traps which do not require fraccing to develop and exploit commercially.

The Company had ongoing administration costs of $197,000 primarily relating to reporting & compliance, due diligence review and office costs during the period. The Company held $342,000 cash at the end of the reporting period.

During the period a sum of $150,000 (before costs) was received by way of a placement undertaken by Taylor Collison. Concurrently the Company announced a fully underwritten rights issue, at a price of $0.003 per share, to be undertaken by Taylor Collison to raise a total sum of $623,631 before costs. The rights issue was successfully completed in the post reporting period. The monies raised will be applied to working capital and new projects and/or joint ventures.

The Company is continuing to explore ways of containing costs whilst reviewing new projects that will be accretive to shareholder value.

Auditor's independence declaration

The auditor's independence declaration is set out on page 5 and forms part of the directors' report for the half year ended 31 December 2015.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.
