5、inu gas field on production in April 2019.Serinus reopened the Chouech Es Saida(“Chouech”)and Ech Chouech fields in Tunisia in the second half of the year,bringing four wells onto production at Chouech,and one well onto production at the Ech Chouech field.Production for the year averaged 1,389 boe/d
6、(2018 352 boe/d),comprised of 961 boe/d(2018-nil)from Romania and 428 boe/d(2018 352 boe/d)from Tunisia.Serinus exited December 2019 with a production rate of 2,089 boe/d,with a December average of 2,175 boe/d(Romania 1,491 boe/d and Tunisia 684 boe/d).The Group was granted a twelve-month extension
7、on the third exploration phase of the Satu Mare Concession in Romania until 28 October 2020 with the sole commitment to complete a 3D seismic acquisition program.Prior to the year-end,the Group completed the permitting required to perform the 148km2 3D seismic acquisition program,which was expected
8、to be completed in Q2 2020.Due to the unprecedented disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak the Group is unable to estimate a completion date at this time.During 2019 the Company started well site preparations for the M-1004 well in Romania.In February 2020,this well was successfully drilled,com
9、pleted,and tested at a rate of 6.0 MMscf/d(approximately 1,000 boe/d)from three perforated zones and then brought onto production.Financial During 2019,Serinus generated gross revenues of$24.4 million(2018-$8.7 million),comprised of$15.2 million(2018-$nil)from Romania and$9.2 million(2018-$8.7 milli
10、on)from Tunisia.Capital expenditures of$4.9 million(2018-$10.8 million)were incurred for the year and predominantly consisted of costs incurred in the Moftinu gas facility,and preliminary work related to the M-1004 well that was subsequently drilled in 2020.Funds from operations increased by 602%for
11、 the year to$8.1 million(2018-$1.2 million),largely due to the Romanian field coming online during the year.Serinus fully repaid the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development(“EBRD”)Senior loan during the year.The Senior Loan consisted of$5.4 million plus accumulated interest.Realized oil pric
12、e($/bbl)averaged$61.67(2018-$66.96),a decrease of 8%.Realized gas price($/Mcf)averaged$7.27(2018-$11.69,inclusive of a one-time gain),a decrease of 30%.Production costs($/boe)were reduced by 42%to$13.78 in 2019 from$23.57 in 2018.2019 HIGHLIGHTS4 SERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 20192020 OUTLOOKCorporat
13、eSerinus had a transformational year in 2019 which saw significant operational achievements.Serinus repaid the$5.4 million Senior loan outstanding with two payments occurring in March and September 2019.Overall,the outlook for the Group is positive,as both operating units grew production and generat
14、ed positive cashflows from operations.RomaniaWith the completion of the Moftinu gas plant,Serinus was able to begin production from three wells(M-1000,M-1003 and M-1007)at the Moftinu field on 25 April 2019.This was the Companys first production from the Satu Mare Concession,and it generated signifi
15、cant cashflows for the Company.With Romanias significant contribution to the positive results the Group achieved in 2019,Serinus remains very optimistic about the future growth prospect of its Romanian assets.Subsequent to the year-end,the Company drilled,completed and tested an additional gas devel
16、opment well(M-1004)in the Moftinu field to continue to maximize the recently completed Moftinu gas facility.This well demonstrated excellent test results and flowed at 6.0 MMscf/d during the well test.M-1004 was brought onto production in February 2020 which will significantly increase the Companys
17、cashflows.Serinus will be conducting a 148 km2 3D seismic acquisition program to further delineate,define and de-risk the historical 2D seismic identified shallow gas prospects located to the north of the Moftinu field.This seismic acquisition program is the final commitment on the third exploration
18、 phase of the Satu Mare concession and will allow the Group to advance the concession to the next exploration phase starting in Q4 2020.The program was expected to be completed in Q2 2020.Due to the unprecedented disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak the Group is unable to estimate a completio
19、n date at this time.The Group is excited about the possibility that the seismic acquisition program will identify additional Moftinu-like fields for development.Such fields are very robust economically given low drilling costs,high productivity,low operating costs,and being located near to transport
20、ation infrastructure and markets.TunisiaOperations in Tunisia are ramping up after an extended period of stagnation due to the difficult social conditions in the country.Our local team commenced the reopening of the Chouech field in southern Tunisia in March 2019.During the third quarter,four wells
21、in Chouech recommenced production.During the fourth quarter one well in the Ech Chouech field was put onto production.The Company continues to see increasing production from these wells as the water cuts drop off.Sabria continues to produce with no interruptions and minimal capital outlays.The Group
22、 will look at implementing low cost capital programs in 2020 such as the re-entry and workover of the N-2 well and installing artificial lift in the wells currently producing.SERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 2019 5Serinus is an oil and gas exploration,appraisal and development company.The Group operates
23、 all of its assets and has operations in two business units:Romania and Tunisia.The Romanian business unit is comprised of one concession,Satu Mare,approximately 3,000km2,located in a highly sought-after hydrocarbon province.The Moftinu Gas Development Project is what the Group hopes to be the first
24、 of many shallow gas developments.The concession is extensively covered by legacy 2D seismic and the Group considers the concession to have a multitude of significant prospects available for further exploration.The Tunisian business unit is comprised of five concessions,located throughout the countr
25、y and predominantly produces oil.The corner stone of the Tunisian business unit is the Sabria field,which is a large oilfield play that has been historically under-developed.Serinus considers this to be an excellent asset for remedial work to increase production and in time,with proper reservoir stu
26、dies,an excellent asset upon which to conduct further development operations.SERINUS AT A GLANCECOVID-19In this unprecedented situation,the Companys priority is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our staff during this difficult time.Our contingency planning is in place and is currently workin
27、g well to ensure business continuity across our operations.While the full implications of COVID-19 on the performance for the current year are difficult to determine at this stage,the Board remains confident in the long-term prospects of the Company.The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant eff
28、ect on demand for oil and gas globally.This,along with an increase in production from OPEC and non-OPEC producers,has created abnormal disruptions in the prices of oil and gas in the world markets.These price dislocations will no doubt affect the Company but we believe that by being a low cost,onsho
29、re producer with approximately 70%of our production from Romanian gas,and managing our capital spending until the situation becomes more clear,will put us in a position to deal with these price dislocations.6 SERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 2019SERINUS ATTRIBUTESSerinus offers investors access to inter
30、national oil and gas upstream operations with significant near-term production growth potential and significant organic growth within its existing asset base.Romania is a large contiguous asset base with significant shallow gas development opportunities in a country that is demonstrating a rapidly e
31、xpanding domestic demand for natural gas,and growing integration with the European gas market.Serinus has demonstrated the shallow gas potential of the northern portion of the Satu Mare concession with the development of the Moftinu gas project.The Company believes that multiple additional analogous
32、 projects exist in the concession area.The southern portion of our Romanian asset offers excellent exploration opportunities for large oil prospects.Just across the southern boundary of the Satu Mare concession is the Suplacu de Barcau oil field(held by OMV Petrom).This is a significant oilfield est
33、imated to have produced in excess of 100 million barrels.Tunisia offers significant field development opportunities on existing and under-developed oil fields.The Tunisian fields consist of existing wells with potential low-cost capital optimization work programs to increase production over the next
34、 year,along with large acreage with the potential to drill future development wells.In addition to the strong asset base Serinus has a strong and experienced management team.Our local assets are managed by local teams who have worked in,and become experts in,the operating and fiscal regimes of their
35、 respective countries.We have significant technical and commercial experience and are able to apply that experience across our business units.In summary,Serinus offers a combination of near-term production growth,significant exploration opportunity and low-risk oil and shallow gas development opport

44、hievements were:1.the commissioning and start-up of the Moftinu Gas Plant in Romania,allowing for production to commence on 25 April 2019,and2.production restart at the Chouech Es Saida and Ech Chouech fields in Tunisia following a shut-in of over two years.These events have significantly increased
45、the Groups production and materially contributed to the Companys free cash flows providing the Group with levels required to deleverage its balance sheet and to continue to grow the value of the business.On behalf of the Board of Directors,I would like to express my highest gratitude to all Serinus
46、employees and partners for their hard work,continuous support and close cooperation,and our thoughts are with them in this difficult time.I would like to thank the members of the Executive Board who,despite many challenges throughout the years,have continued to work diligently to ensure the Groups s
47、uccess in creating a sustainable international oil and gas company.It is through combined efforts of our employees,associates and advisors in Romania and Tunisia that we move closer every day towards this goal.Their hard work,strong values and personal sacrifice are the key pillars of the future suc
48、cess of our Group,and our standing as an ethical member of the society and communities in which we operate.Yours sincerely,Lukasz Rdziniak,Chairman of the Board of Directors24 March 2020CHAIRMANS REPORTSERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 2019 9REPORT FROM CEODear Shareholders,22019 was a transformational y
49、ear for our Company.The completion of the Moftinu Gas Plant and the flow of first sales gas in April heralded the first new source of production and revenue in six years.Soon after the commercial gas flow from the Moftinu Gas Plant was onstream our Tunisian team was able to restart production from t
50、he Chouech Es Saida field in the South of Tunisia.By the end of 2019 the Company had dramatically increased its production,revenue and after-tax cash flow and is positioned for further growth in 2020.It is hard to overestimate how important the Moftinu Gas project is for the Company.Aside from the o
51、bvious benefits of increased cash flow and production,Moftinu offers a glimpse of the future.The Company believes that there are more shallow gas fields that are similar to Moftinu and that over the course of the next few years we are in an excellent position to unlock that future value.In April 201
52、9 Serinus celebrated the start of commercial production in Romania from the M-1000,M-1003 and M-1007 wells.With the production from Romania the Groups revenue has nearly tripled from the prior year,ultimately leading to significant free cash flows for the year.The free cash flow Serinus was able to
53、generate during the year allowed the Group to make the final payment of the Senior loan,$2.7 million plus accrued interest in September 2019.In 2020 the Company is excited to complete the final commitment of the third exploration phase of the Satu Mare concession,shooting a 148 km2 3D seismic progra
54、m.In early 2020 the Company also drilled the M-1004 well,which was highly successful.Both the recent drilling and the 3D seismic program will be completed out of the operating cash flow provided by the Moftinu Gas Development.Given the success in Romania it is easy to overlook the progress the Compa
55、ny has made in Tunisia.Tunisia remains a very attractive asset base and one that offers very different commercial opportunities than in Romania.After several years of inactivity in Tunisia forced on the Company by the social disruptions that had interrupted business in the country,we were able to re
56、-open the Chouech Es Saida field.As an added bonus our team was able to re-open the Ech Chouech field.Ech Chouech is an adjacent field to Chouech Es Saida and our technical teams were pleasantly surprised to find that after a long period of forced shut-in,the Ech Chouech field was able to produce vo
57、lumes of oil.Both fields are now producing and the volume of oil versus water is gradually increasing.This production of water is a natural result of the wells having been shut-in during the disruptions and over time the Company remains confident that these wells can return to pre shut-in levels.The
58、 Group is also examining alternatives that would allow these fields to show a continued increase in production.Sabria is our largest asset in Tunisia and remains a core asset for the Group.The Sabria field is a large discovered oil field that our Independent Reserve Engineers believe has 358 million
59、 barrels of oil originally in place.The field has only six producing wells and over the life of the field only 1.2%of the oil in place has been recovered.The Company believes that this is an excellent commercialization opportunity.We have looked at a variety of opportunities available to the Company
60、 to enhance the recovery factor.In 2019 we had our Tunisian technical teams focus on low capital but high return enhancements to the Sabria field.We believe that our work in 2019 has positioned us for further growth in 2020.2019 has been an excellent year for the Company but it must be remembered th
61、at the operational successes of 2019 had their roots in the hard work that has been done by our teams in 2017 and 2018.In the same way that 2019 reflects the successes of earlier years,we are positioning Serinus for success in the future.Our seismic acquisition program will give our geological and g
62、eophysical teams the data they require to unlock more opportunities.Our work on production enhancements in Tunisia will provide the detailed knowledge of our reservoirs that will ultimately allow future drilling to unlock greater potential.Underlying all these achievements are our people.Our people
63、are the foundation of this business and their desire to excel and prevail is what will make our successes even more profound.Without the financial governance,technical excellence and strategic insights of all of our staff in all of our offices,Serinus would not be able to look upon the future with s
64、uch optimism.We start a new decade in a much different position than we finished the last decade.The Company is strengthening itself and now has the capacity to look forward to new and exciting opportunities.On behalf of all of the employees of the Company I would offer thanks to our shareholders fo
65、r their support as we strove to bring the Moftinu Gas Plant onstream and continue to enhance our production in Tunisia.We look forward to building on the successes of 2019 and increase the value inherent in the Company.The COVID-19 outbreak is a dynamic and ongoing issue.As this outbreak evolves it
66、will no doubt have a further effect on the global economy.Our products,oil and gas,are products whose demand is sensitive to overall economic conditions.Whilst we are a business that is always conscious of the demand and pricing for our products,our first consideration during this crisis is the safe
67、ty and health of our employees.The company has put in place protocols that are relevant in each of our areas of operation such as restrictions on travel,meetings,adoption of flexible working arrangements and access to medical support as required.Given the regional disparities in the development of t
68、his outbreak the company has deferred to the advice of local authorities to manage our reactions.A key trigger to escalate the implementation of our plans has been any government decision in local jurisdictions to close schools,which has now happened in Romania,Tunisia,Canada and Poland,as a result
69、of which we have closed our corporate offices in those countries.The Company is experienced in working remotely and we believe that we have sufficient infrastructure in place that will allow the Company to continue to operate with minimal disruptions.There can be no certainty as to the development o
70、f this outbreak and the Company is carefully monitoring our operations in the field.Our operations in Tunisia are very remote and as per the internal procedures in place,we already have medical staff at our fields to monitor the health and welfare of our employees.In Romania we have arranged for a d
71、octor to visit the Moftinu Gas Plant every other day to monitor our staff.At the time of writing we have not suffered operational interruptions,but should the situation change we have plans in place to minimize disruption.The company has also sought means to delay capital expenditures during this ti
72、me of uncertainty.We will continue to monitor the situation closely while proactively assessing risk and considering options to allow our business to continue to operate,while ensuring the safety of our people.Yours sincerely,Jeffery Auld,Chief Executive Officer24 March 202010 SERINUS ENERGY Annual
73、Report 2019During 2019 Serinus faced many challenges and made significant progress,which have translated into the financial performance for the year and position of the Group as at 31 December 2019.Liquidity,Debt and Capital Resources In Romania,the Group invested$3.9 million to complete the gas pla
74、nt in the Moftinu field,as well as preliminary costs to drill M-1004,which was drilled in February 2020.Production from Moftinu commenced on 25 April 2019 and has been producing consistently from M-1003 and M-1007.In Tunisia,the Group reopened the Chouech field in Q3 2019,which contributed 38,415 bo
75、e or 105 boe/d for 2019.Production from the Sabria field remained consistent during the year.Tunisia was a positive cash flow generating business unit for the year.With the reopening of Chouech and some planned workovers in Chouech and Sabria in 2020,we expect cash flow generation from Tunisia to im
76、prove in 2020.During 2019,funds from operations improved year over year by$6.9 million to$8.1 million in 2019(2018-$1.2 million).Taking into consideration the movement in working capital,the cash flows generated from operating activities in 2019 were$8.8 million(2018 used in operations:$5.9 million)
77、.In March 2019 the Group undertook a placing to raise gross proceeds of$3.0 million,by issuing 21,553,583 shares at a price of 0.105 per share.Attached to each share issued is 0.105 warrants,with each full warrant entitling the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of 0.105 per
78、share,exercisable for a period of 24 months after closing.The proceeds of the equity issuance were used to fund a Senior debt repayment to the EBRD due 31 March 2019 of$2.7 million plus accrued interest.The final repayment of$2.7 million plus accrued interest was paid on 13 September 2019,leaving ju
79、st the convertible debt outstanding with the EBRD.The Convertible debt is due to be repaid in four instalments commencing 30 June 2020,when 25%of the principal and accrued interest at that date will be repayable.The three remaining repayments will be made annually on 30 June.As at 31 December 2019,$
80、7.7 million of the Convertible debt is reported as current.The Company will continue to manage its cash flow from operations to manage it obligations including all payments on the convertible debt.Delays with achieving first production in Romania have resulted in a tightening cash position and breac
81、h of the financial covenant of the debt held with the EBRD throughout the year,as well as contributing to the delay of capital programs in Tunisia,the implications of which are further discussed below.Year ended 31 December($000)20192018Current assetsCurrent liabilities15,243 32,194 13,480 28,918 Wo
82、rking Capital deficit(16,951)(15,438)REPORT FROM CFOSERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 2019 11The working capital deficit of the Group at 31 December 2019 was$16.9 million(2018$15.4 million).Included in current liabilities at 31 December 2019 was$7.7 million of EBRD debt,accounts payable of$16.2 million,i
83、ncome taxes payable of$1.4 million,current portion of lease obligations of$0.5 million and a decommissioning provision of$6.3 million.Included in accounts payable was$8.2 million relating to Brunei.Of this amount,$2.2 million relates to a dispute with a drilling company dating back to 2013 on Block
84、L and the remaining$6.0 million relates to work commitments on the Brunei Block M production sharing agreement which expired August 2012.Included in the asset retirement obligations is$1.8 million relating to Brunei,$1.0 million relating to Canada,and$3.5 million relating to Tunisia.The obligations
85、in Canada are offset by cash held on deposit as restricted cash of$1.1 million in current assets.The Group renegotiated its EBRD debt in late 2017,which provided a holiday from making principal repayments on the Senior Loan until 2019 and a holiday from covenants until September 2018,allowing the Gr
86、oup to develop Romania and achieve first production.The Company was successful in repaying the Senior Loan on schedule making one payment in March 2019 and the final payment in September 2019.On 30 December 2019 the Group received a waiver from the EBRD formally waiving compliance with the financial
87、 covenants for the period ended 31 December 2019.Under the base case cashflow,the forecast indicates that the Group will be marginally in breach of the EBRD debt service covenant at 31 March 2020 but based on analysis performed,assuming business continuity plans in place are effective,it will be abl
88、e to repay the 30 June 2020 instalment under the facility,and will subsequently be compliant with the EBRD covenants thereafter.In order to mitigate the potential covenant breach in March 2020,the Group has sought a further covenant waiver from the EBRD and has begun discussions with the EBRD to ass
89、ess the impact of the current situation and examine options available to manage through this period of uncertainty.Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on going concern.FINANCIAL REVIEW YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS The Group uses funds f

95、ia started production at the end of April 2019 and did not experience any interruptions to the production during the year.The Company completed a planned two-week turn around in October for regular maintenance on the gas plant.The maintenance turnaround was performed on time and under budget.During
96、the year,the Romanian production was predominantly from two wells:M-1003 and M-1007.Tunisia saw a significant improvement in the social situation and protests were reduced,as such the Company was able to restart production from the Chouech field in July 2019,bringing five wells back onto production.
97、Production rates have not returned to pre-shut in levels due to higher than anticipated water levels.The Company also reopened one well in Ech Chouech during the year.Ech Chouech is an adjacent field to the Chouech field and was able to tie Ech Chouech into the Chouech field to sell the associated g

102、m the Sabria concession into the local market,which is sold at an approximate 10%discount to the price obtained on its other crude sales.The remaining crude oil production is sold to the international market,through a marketing agreement with Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited.
103、In 2019,the Group completed one(2018 one)lifting,which occurred during the fourth quarter.The Group is required to sell 50%of its annual gas production from the Satu Mare concession into the local commodity market,which to date has received comparable prices compared to the prices received from the
104、sales agreement with Vitol Gas and Power B.V.The Group saw a decrease in realized oil prices($/bbl)of$5.29 to$61.67(2018$66.96),and a decrease in realized natural gas prices($/Mcf)of$4.42 to$7.27(2018-$11.69 or$9.80 net of a$0.4 million one-time gain due to a change in the reference price).ROYALTIES

106、ctly attributable to the Romanian production starting in April 2019.The effective royalty rate saw a sharp decline compared to 2018 due to lower royalty rates in Romania,which accounted for 62%of the total revenue.Romanian royalties are a flat 7.5%for gas revenues and 3.5%for condensate for the enti
107、re field.Tunisian royalties are based on individual concession agreements.Sabria royalty rates vary depending on a calculation of cumulative revenues,net of taxes,as compared to cumulative investment in the concession,known as the“R factor”.As the R factor increases,so does the royalty percentage to
108、 a maximum rate of 15%.During 2019,the royalty rate in the Sabria concession was 10%for oil and 8%for gas.Chouech and Ech Chouech royalty rates are flat at 15%for both oil and gas.SERINUS ENERGY Annual Report 2019 13PRODUCTION EXPENSESYear ended 31 December($000)20192018TunisiaRomaniaCanada4,606 2,3

110、he production from the Romanian Moftinu field where production expenses per boe is lower than Tunisia.The Tunisian operating costs saw a minor increase due to work required to bring the Chouech field online as well as other minor workovers to help stimulate the wells.Canadian production expenses rel
111、ate to the Sturgeon Lake assets,which are not producing and are incurring minimal operating costs to maintain the property.OPERATING NETBACKSerinus uses operating netback as a key performance indicator to assist management in understanding Serinus profitability relative to current market conditions
112、and as an analytical tool to benchmark changes in operational performance against prior periods.Operating netback consists of petroleum and natural gas revenues less direct costs consisting of royalties and production expenses.Netback is not a standard measure under IFRS and therefore may not be com
113、parable to similar measures reported by other entities.Year ended 31 December($/boe)20192018TunisiaProduction volume(boe/d)Realized priceRoyaltiesProduction expense428 59.12(6.76)(29.46)352 67.85(6.75)(23.27)Operating netback-Tunisia22.90 37.83 RomaniaProduction volume(boe/d)Realized priceRoyaltiesP

126、analysis of the decommissioning requirements for the Tunisian business unit and determined that there were significant cost savings,based on revised abandonment procedures and cost estimates,that could be applied to the decommissioning of the fields.This resulted in a change in estimate to the decom

303、 the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.The results are further discussed in the CFO Report.The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend in respect of these financial statements(2018:$nil)Going ConcernThese consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern b
304、asis,which assumes that Serinus will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations.In assessing the Groups ability to continue as a going concern,the Directors have prepared b
305、ase and sensitized cash flow forecasts for a period in excess of 12 months from the date of authorization of these financial statements.The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements from net operating cash flows,cash balances,equity,and a fully drawn Convertible loan from the EBRD of$3
306、1.1 million(see note 21).As at 29 February 2020 the group had cash balances of$4.9 million.The Group achieved a number of significant milestones during 2019 which have begun to make a positive impact on the financial position of the Group,bringing average production for the year to 1,389 boe/d(2018
307、352 boe/d)and gross revenues to$24.4 million(2018$8.7 million).During the second quarter of 2019 the construction of the gas plant in Romania was completed,and production commenced on 25 April 2019.Romanian production for the year averaged 961 boe/d,resulting in$15.2 million in gross revenues.In Tun
308、isia,the Group reopened the Chouech field during the third quarter of 2019,resulting in additional production for the year of 105 boe/d,and bringing net production up to an average of 428 boe/d and resulting in$9.2 million in revenue attributable to the Group.The Group exited December 2019 with a pr
309、oduction rate of 2,089 boe/d,with average production in December 2019 of 2,175 boe/d(Romania 1,491 boe/d and Tunisia 684 boe/d).The combination of the additional production from Romania and Chouech has significantly increased the Groups cash flows.During 2019,the Group met its obligations under the
310、Senior loan($5.4 plus accrued interest),and fully repaid the facility.The Group raised$3 million through an equity placing in March 2019 to fund an initial payment instalment,with the final payment funded through free cashflow generated from operations,as a result of establishing production in Roman
311、ia and increasing production in Tunisia.The Groups Convertible loan accumulates interest to 30 June 2020 at which point the outstanding amount is repayable in four equal instalments on 30 June 2020,2021,2022 and 2023 with interest after 30 June 2020 to be paid annually on the loan repayment dates.As
312、 at 31 December 2019,the Group was not in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio,however the Group sought,and received,a waiver from the EBRD on 30 December 2019,formally waiving compliance with this covenant for the period ended 31 December 2019.Under the base case cashflow,the forecast in
313、dicates that the Group will be marginally in breach of the EBRD debt service covenant at 31 March 2020 but based on analysis performed,assuming business continuity plans in place are effective,it will be able to repay the 30 June 2020 instalment under the facility,and will subsequently be compliant
314、with the EBRD covenants thereafter.In order to mitigate the potential covenant breach in March 2020,the Group has sought a further covenant waiver from the EBRD and has begun discussions with the EBRD to assess the impact of the current situation and examine options available to manage through this
315、period of uncertainty.The key assumptions in the base case forecasts are the operational performance at the operating fields and commodity prices.However,should the base case forecasts be negatively impacted by a downward revision in key assumptions,there is the possibility that the Group will not b
316、e able to meet its obligations as they come due,including the future repayments of the Convertible loan,and breach future bank covenants,which represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.The full implications of COVID-1
317、9 on the performance of the business for the current year are difficult to determine at this stage.These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments and classifications of assets,liabilities,revenues and expenses which would be necessary if the Group were unable to continue as a
318、 going concern.Statement of Directors Responsibilities in Respect of the Financial StatementsThe Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.Jersey Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
