FONCTIONNEMENT ET FINANCIÈRE EXAMEN
Examen des Opérations
The focus of Global Petroleum Limited ("Global" or the "Company") during the reporting period, and subsequently, has been its farm-out process and entering the next exploration period in respect of its Namibian licence PEL0094 ("Licence"), and the continued strengthening of its finances in order to maintain its options for the Licence and/or the possible pursuit of other strategic investments. It has also continued to engage with the Italian authorities regarding the Company's exploration permit applications.
In August 2023, the Company announced that the Namibian authorities had given approval to proceed to the first renewal exploration Period, from September 2023 to September 2025 .This came with a commitment to acquire, process and interpret 2,000 kms of 3D seismic data (a commitment carried over from the Initial Exploration Period) and to drill a well contingent upon the results of interpretation of the 3D.
The Ministry waived the usual requirement to relinquish 50% of the licence area at the end of the Initial Exploration Period, which meant that Global and its partners retained all of the prospectivity of the licence.
At the beginning of each licence period, the Company and its partners are obliged to issue a guarantee, which is linked to the specified minimum exploration expenditure of the firm work commitment. The precise quantum is currently being negotiated between Global and the Ministry with the matter expected to be resolved in April 2024.
Since the award the Company has licensed both the existing 3D and 2D seismic data within PEL0094 and further 2D seismic data outside of PEL0094 to allow the technical story to be understood and described, in order to attract a partner to join Global in the licence.
Estimates of Prospective Resources for PEL0094 were announced in July 2020 and in January 2021. In the east of PEL0094 there are 7 leads with a total unrisked gross Prospective Resources (Best Estimate) of 2,048 million barrels of oil. In the centre of PEL0094 are the prospects Marula and Welwitschia Deep, which contain a total of 881 million barrels of oil. This gives a total on the licence of 2,929 million barrels unrisked gross Prospective Resources (Best Estimate).
As previously reported, the Company's work has established that in all the modelled cases the source rock is mature in the northern Walvis Basin and that sufficient volumes of hydrocarbons have migrated into the prospects previously identified. Oil seeps have also been located - via a satellite radar study - within the boundaries of the Licence, thus further supporting the Company's interpretation of a working petroleum system in the area.
In Italy, following the 'Plan for Sustainable Energy Transition of Appropriate Areas' ("Plan") which came into effect in February 2022, the Company provided the Italian authorities technical evidence of the gas prospectivity in relation to the Company's four licence applications in the Adriatic Sea.
A key structural component of the Plan is the provision that in future only exploration for gas (as opposed to oil) will be permitted in Italy, both onshore and offshore. As reported previously, the relevant authority, the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition, informed Global that the Company's exploration objectives in the amended Applications are in compliance with the provisions of the Plan.
In September 2023, the Company made several announcements regarding Italy that it had been informed that appeals against the environmental decrees granted in its favour by the Italian authorities had recently been dismissed by the Council of State (having previously been dismissed by the tribunal in Rome). The actions were brought by the Municipality of Margherita di Savoia in Puglia against the relevant Italian Ministries and entities - with Global joined as an "interested party" - and related to the Company's applications known as d 80 F.R GP, d 81 F.R GP d 82 F.R-GP and d 83 F.R-GP. The judgements in Global's favour follow the victories in all of the cases brought against the Company by various entities in Puglia, culminating in the judgement of the European Court in January 2022.
Earlier in the year, the Company had submitted further documentation in connection with the Applications to the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition and has been awaiting further dialogue with the Ministry regarding the process going forward.
Once this process is complete, the Company will assess its options in relation to the Applications and make an announcement accordingly. If the Company decides to accept the award of exploration permits, it will seek a partner at the appropriate time.
As previously announced, there were a number of changes to the Board of the Company in late November 2023. Mr Daniel Page and Ms Cecilia Yu were appointed Executive Directors of the Company and Mr Azib Khan was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr John Van der Welle, Mr Peter Hill and Mr Garrick Higgins all resigned from Board with Mr Daniel Page resigning on 11 March 2024.
Subsequent to these changes to the Board, the Company has been pursuing new opportunities with the aim to generate shareholder value, diversify the Company's portfolio of assets and deliver a pathway to profitability. Further updates on these endeavors will be provided in due course if appropriate.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIALS & STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Remarques 1 | Reporting Entity |
Global Petroleum Limited ("Global" or the "Company") is a company domiciled and incorporated in Australia. It is a company limited by shares and whose shares are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange (AIM). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2023 are comprised of the Company and its controlled entities (together referred to as the "Group"). The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in oil and gas exploration and development.
The consolidated annual financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Level 4 91 William Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia or at www.globalpetroleum.com.au.
Remarques 2 | Base de préparation |
Déclaration de conformité
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, the Corporations Act 2001 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of annual financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on 28 March 2024. The financial information in this half-year report is presented in United States dollars ("US$").
Use of judgement and estimations
In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made adjustments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Any significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023.
Remarques 3 | Résumé des principales conventions comptables |
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied to the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023.
Continuité d'activité Notes
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has no source of operating revenue and settles its expenditure obligations from existing cash resources. It generated a loss of US$3,164 (31 December 2022: loss of US$695,619) and had net cash outflows from the operating activities of US$289,040 (31 December 2022: net cash outflows of US$693,951) for the half-year ended 31 December 2023. As of that date, the Group had net assets of US$2,523,037 (30 June 2023: US$1,965,886) and cash assets of US$597,365 (30 June 2023: US$356,389). The Group has no debt.
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the next 12 months based on best estimates of future inflows and outflows of cash, to support the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon a combination of one or more of the following factors - management of existing funds; securing further funds via raising capital from equity markets; concluding a farm-out arrangement whereby a farm-in party would assume the costs of meeting certain future exploration and other commitments on the Company's Namibian licence; and the deferral of licence commitments.
The raising of additional equity capital is subject to market conditions and investor demand; securing a farm-out requires agreement with a suitable third party which the Group has not achieved to date; and any deferral of licence commitments would require the consent of the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy. As each of these are not within the Company's control, these conditions constitute a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the use of the going concern basis of accounting. However, the Director have a reasonable expectation that one or more of these actions will be achieved and note a successful equity placing in the reporting period which raised gross proceeds of approximately $0.630 million (half-year ended 31 December 2022: GBP0.924 million).
The Company is also pursuing other commercial opportunities with an intention to build a diversified portfolio of assets. Discussions with counter parties are ongoing with a number of potential counterparties at the date of this report.
Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and therefore the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the classification of assets including Exploration and Evaluation assets, or the recoverability of asset carrying values, or to the amount and classification of liabilities, which might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
Application de Nouveauté ainsi que Révisée Normes de comptabilité
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ("AASB") that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopté.

The Group's Exploration and Evaluation Assets at the end of the reporting period relates solely to its Namibian licence PEL0094.
During the reporting period, the Group did not expense any other exploration and evaluation costs in the statement of profit and loss. (31 December 2022: néant).
An amount of US$10,248 (31 December 2022: US$16,566) was expensed on business development, which relates to the Group's activities in assessing other opportunities in the oil and gas sector.
Namibie
In September 2018, Global Petroleum Namibia was awarded licence PEL0094, and a Petroleum Agreement was signed on 11 September 2018. The Initial Exploration Period ran for four years and is divided into two sub periods of two years each: IEP1, and IEP2. IEP1 runs from September 2018 to September 2020. During IEP1, Global has undertaken to purchase and reprocess the existing available 3D seismic data and other 2D data, as well as some additional G & G studies. In July 2020, agreement was reached with the Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MME") for the extension of the sub-period ending in September 2020 for one year to September 2021, with a modified work commitment. The Company met all IEP1 commitments at the date of this report. In August 2021, the Company announced that the Namibian authorities had acknowledged the exercise by the Company of its option to enter into the next sub- period of PEL0094 from September 2021 to September 2022. In April 2022 the Company announced that the Namibian authorities had granted a one year extension to the Initial Exploration Period ("IEP"), from September 2022 to September 2023.
In August 2023 the MME gave approval for the Company and its partners to proceed to the First Renewal Period ("FRP") of Walvis Basin licence PEL0094, with a duration of two years from September 2023 to September 2025. The work commitment for the FRP is to acquire, process and interpret 2,000 kms of 3D seismic data (the "3D Seismic") - carried over from the IEP and to drill a well contingent upon the results of interpretation of the 3D Seismic. The original well commitment for the FRP - as specified in the Petroleum Agreement for PEL0094 - was firm, rather than contingent.
At the beginning of each licence period, the Company and its partners are obliged to issue a guarantee, which is linked to the specified minimum exploration expenditure of the firm work commitment.

(une) Exploration dépense engagements
Exploration expenditure commitments in order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by various foreign governments where exploration tenements are held.
These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a tenement is made and at other times. These obligations are not provided for in the financial statements. Financial commitments for subsequent periods can only be determined at future dates, as the success or otherwise of exploration programmes determines courses of action allowed under options available in tenements. The Group's only exploration expenditure commitments relate to its interest in joint ventures.
(B) Namibia Licence PEL0094
In August 2023, the MME gave approval for the Company and its partners to proceed to the First Renewal Period ("FRP") of Walvis Basin licence PEL0094, with a duration of two years from September 2023 to September 2025. The work commitment for the FRP is to acquire, process and interpret 2,000 kms of 3D seismic data (the "3D Seismic") - carried over from the current Initial Exploration Period and to drill a well contingent upon the results of interpretation of the 3D Seismic. The original well commitment for the FRP - as specified in the Petroleum Agreement for PEL0094 - was firm, rather than contingent.
Global Petroleum Namibia Limited has a 78 per cent interest in the PEL0094, however it is responsible for 100 per cent of the expenditure requirements with its joint venture partners holding a total of 22 per cent free carried interest.
