CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Dear Shareholder,

The first half of 2024 has seen positive developments across all of our licenses, and we believe we are now close to finalising the financing for the NJOM-3 well in Cameroon.

Cameroon

In February we announced the Government's decision to extend the initial exploration period of our Thali license to February 2025 - which was to allow for the uncertainty over the timing of availability of the Borr rig we had contracted. In fact, that rig was delayed for operational reasons, but there are now more rig alternatives available to us. We are now targeting to spud the well early in 2025, and our focus has been concluding asset-level financing for the well.

We have now received a proposal for financing of NJOM-3 via a farm-out of a minority position, from a substantial upstream company with existing production. We are in discussions with this party about the details of their proposal, however we can say that, provided discussions conclude positively, this proposal should provide sufficient funds to drill the NJOM-3 well - we had received a draft proposal from another party last year, but only for a portion of the funds required. While there are multiple other parties who have expressed interest in partnering with us, there are two other parties in particular who have undertaken substantial due diligence on the project over the past few months, and we are also expecting a proposal from at least one of these companies. Our intention is to conclude a transaction as soon as possible.

We also have two parallel sets of bank discussions underway with multiple banks, one for longer term development financing of the next three wells we have planned for the Njonji structure; and one for short term development, which would supplement a farm-out to finance putting NJOM-3 into production earlier, while still working on the next three wells. We are keeping an open mind on these options, and discussing them in detail with both our banks and prospective farm-out partners. We expect to reach a conclusion on this short-term production option and bank financing in the coming months, before drilling the well.

We will update investors as soon as we have concluded definitive agreements, but until then we will not be discussing the details of the proposals that we have received, or may receive, as these are confidential to the parties. While we are now very confident of achieving a positive funding result, there can be no guarantees until we have signed definitive agreements.

Namibia

In Namibia, we spent the first six months of 2024 analysing more than 20,000 kms of 2D seismic data that we hold over the PEL96 license area, to identify the most promising structures along the likely oil migration paths identified by our basin modelling and the oil seep analysis. We reviewed both the simple anticlines which had been the focus of much previous work, and also the types of stratigraphic traps which have been so rewarding in the Orange Basin. As we explained to our partners and the Ministry of Mines and Energy, we identified a number of very promising and very large potential structures which we would like to investigate further. However, there are interesting structures in several areas of what is a very large license area, covering nearly 24,000 kms at present, and therefore we cannot acquire new 3D seismic data over all of them. We therefore agreed with our partners and the Ministry that we should reprocess some of the existing 2D data in order to support our decision over which structures to focus on going forward. We expect the reprocessing work to be completed probably in the middle of 2025, with interpretation to follow, which could allow 3D seismic data acquisition in 2026. This fits well with what we understand other parties are considering to do in the area, and therefore seems consistent with the possibility of acquiring this data on a multi-client basis to reduce its cost.

The MME supports this approach, and as a result we were able to announce on 2 August 2024 the Ministry's agreement to defer the 3D seismic acquisition to the First Renewal Period of the PEL96 license, which is due to begin at the end of October 2024 and will last for 2-3 years. By the end of October 2024, we will also provide to the Ministry the details of the acreage (covering 50% of the current license area) which we propose to relinquish as we move into the First Renewal Period. We have identified this area and are awaiting our partners' formal approval before submitting this. We have also received initial indications of the cost and timetable for the reprocessing, which are within the budgets we have discussed with both our partners and the Ministry.

We are not formally seeking to farm out our license interest in Namibia, as we consider it somewhat premature given the current stage of work. However, we have received unsolicited interest in the license and are sharing data with parties who wish to discuss it with us even at this early stage.

South Africa

In South Africa, as we noted in our Annual Report dated 31 May 2024, the Company and the operator, New Age Energy Algoa (Pty) Ltd ("NewAge"), have been in discussions for some time now with a potential partner for our Algoa Gamtoos license. The farm-out process, which has been underway for some time, has been seeking financing at least for the current phase of 3D seismic data acquisition over our 1.4 billion barrel deep-water slope and floor fan leads, and some repayment of back costs. This has now reached the stage where draft documents are being prepared. When, as in this case, a large part of the proposals being discussed relate to the funding of forward commitments that are still some way in the future - in this case, probably in 2026 - the details became central to the agreement. For this reason, the drafting of documents is a critical step forward in the process, as it allows these details to be addressed by all parties, but for the same reason there is also no certainty yet that a final agreement will be reached.

Corporate

In addition to our operational progress, we were also very pleased to see the final resolution of the outstanding VAT appeals in our favour, which has removed an uncertainty from our accounts and also removed a significant drain on management time. We also made the decision to prepay the balance of the EECP facility, which has simplified our balance sheet. We have continued to keep costs under tight control, as our interim accounts show.

We are also delighted to welcome Ms Stacey Kivel to the board of directors, and to see Mr Mark Enfield increase his time commitment to the Company, as an executive director, as announced on 2 August 2024.

In summary, we believe that we are now close to completing the financing for the NJOM-3 well in Cameroon, and remain on track to spud the well in early 2025. We are also excited by the work we are undertaking on PEL96 in Namibia, and gratified by the external interest in this license despite its early stage. Additionally, we are also hoping that the discussions we and the operator NewAge are having regarding the Algoa-Gamtoos license in South Africa will enable us to move forward in acquiring 3D seismic data over our Outeniqua basin leads in 2026.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.   Accounting policies

a)       Basis of preparation

This interim financial report, which includes a condensed set of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings ("the Group"), has been prepared using the historical cost convention and based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and IFRS 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Reserves', as adopted by the United Kingdom ("UK").

The condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2024 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. They have been prepared using accounting bases and policies consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 and those to be used for the year ending 31 December 2024. The comparative figures for the half year ended 30 June 2023 are unaudited. The comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2023 are not the Company's full statutory accounts but have been extracted from the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the auditors' report thereon was unqualified and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) and 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

This half-yearly financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2024.

b)       Going concern

The Group will need to complete a farm-out and/or another asset-level transaction within the coming months, or otherwise raise further funds, in order to meet its liabilities as they fall due, particularly with respect to the forthcoming drilling programme in Cameroon. The Directors believe that there are a number of options available to them through either, or a combination of, capital markets, farm-outs or asset disposals with respect to raising these funds. There can, however, be no guarantee that the required funds may be raised, or transactions completed within the necessary timeframes, which raises uncertainty as to the application of going concern in these accounts. Having assessed the risks attached to these uncertainties on a probabilistic basis, the Directors are confident that they can raise sufficient finance in a timely manner and therefore believe that the application of going concern is both appropriate and correct.

2.   Operating segments

The Group has two reportable operating segments: Africa and Head Office. Non-current assets and operating liabilities are located in Africa, whilst the majority of current assets are carried at Head Office. The Group has not yet commenced production and therefore has no revenue. Each reportable segment adopts the same accounting policies. In compliance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' the following table reconciles the operational loss and the assets and liabilities of each reportable segment with the consolidated figures presented in these Financial Statements, together with comparative figures for the period-ended 30 June 2023.

In accordance with the Group's accounting policies and IFRS 6 the Directors' have reviewed each of the exploration license areas for indications of impairment, and have concluded that no further impairment provisions are required at this time.

The additions to E&E assets during the period comprise $743k in Cameroon (2023: $955), $63k in South Africa (2023: $69k) and $215k in Namibia (2023: $80k). The focus of the Group's activities during this period has been on preparing for and acquiring and maintaining inventory and services with respect to the anticipated drilling of the Njonji-3 appraisal well, alongside ongoing subsurface evaluation in Namibia. The Directors anticipate a significant step-up in E&E asset additions during the second half of 2024.
