ASX Announcement/Media Release

31 May 2016

Chairman’s Address at AGM

We are pleased to be meeting with shareholders to provide an update on what we have achieved in 2015 and how we plan to grow the business in 2016 and beyond.

It goes without saying that the oil and gas prices that we have seen for the last six months have placed pressure on our industry which has also had ramifications for the broader global economy. Incremental has been able to weather this period thanks to the early decisions that were made by Management and the Board to cut costs and position ourselves for a period of lower revenues back as early as 2014.

Despite the low commodity price environment, Incremental was able to report a fourth successive positive EBITDA (earnings figure before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) in 2015 . The Company has continued to operate all of its fields profitably in the first quarter of 2016 and has met all of its bank covenants and repayment commitments, notwithstanding oil prices down as low as $26 per Bbl.

The Board and Management’s strategy of building sustainable growth in the business through the acquisition of assets with development potential has continued, and has been assisted by the downturn in oil prices where we are seeing assets on the market at good value prices.

Incremental took advantage of this in June 2015 by acquiring the Silvertip Field in Wyoming.

Within the first six months of this field being acquired, management had:

  • Reduced headcount from 9 to 3 fulltime personnel,

  • increased production by more than 50%,

  • 1P Proved Developed Reserves had increased by 43%,

  • Identified and proved up a low cost recompletion program that will target 3Bcf of behind pipe shallow gas with an independently certified potential net future cash flow of $7.1M.

These periods of uncertainty also create further opportunities for Incremental. The Company continues to investigate further acquisition prospects and forms a core part of the Company’s growth strategy.

2015 Performance

The Company:

  • Achieved an average production rate for the Group of 822 boepd in Q4 –a company record.;

  • Increased Total Company 1P oil and gas Reserves to 1.73 million BOE;

  • Reduced lease operating expenses from ~$16 per BOE in 2014 to ~$7 per BOE for 2015.

Current Activities

Permitting and technical work has continued in Q1-16 for a 24 well recompletion program at the Silvertip Field which is expected to commence shortly.

In conclusion, we look forward to reporting further operational improvements, and the next acquisition in due course.

The Board takes this opportunity to thank our management and field teams for their hard work throughout the year, and thank our shareholders for their ongoing support.

ENDS
