2021 Half Year Results

Dublin and London -- September 29th, 2021 - Providence Resources P.l.c. (PVR LN, PRP ID), the Irish-based Energy Company, today announces its unaudited interim results for the half year ended June 30, 2021.

Business Review

   -- Governance 

James Menton was appointed as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director on 14 May 2021 as an initial step in adding to the quality and range of board competencies considered essential for shaping the future Providence Resources Plc business strategy.

Pat Plunkett stepped down from the Board following the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 22 July 2021 and James Menton assumed the role of Chair following the AGM.

In line with the policy of strengthening the board, two new board members were identified and recruited to join Non-Executive Director Andrew MacKay who was appointed in July 2020. On 23 July 2021 Peter Newman was appointed as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and Ann-Marie O'Sullivan was appointed as a Non-Executive Director.

   -- Strategic review of development potential of Barryroe 

A full strategic review of the development potential of the Barryroe field has been initiated by the new Board of Providence Resources Plc in order to prepare a robust case for the development of the field to optimise value for shareholders, while recognising the need for Irish energy security through the energy transition. Following termination of the farmout to SpotOn Energy, the strategic review, which will include independently evaluated assessments of the field's development scenarios and their potential, is considered essential by the Board.

The results of this strategic review, encompassing both Providence's Technical Strategy and it's related Financial Strategy, will be completed in Q4 2021 and will determine the strategic plan for the development of the Barryroe Field.

   -- Barryroe, Celtic Sea (SEL 1/11) - Subject to Lease Undertaking 
      application 

The Group holds an 80% working interest in and is operator of SEL 1/11 which contains the Barryroe oil accumulation. The Barryroe Standard Exploration Licence period continued up until the 13 July 2021. Prior to its expiry, and having met all the conditions attaching to that Licence, the Group applied for the follow-on permit, being a Lease Undertaking, which is subject to government approval. Initial documentation for an application for a Lease Undertaking was submitted to the regulatory authority in April 2021 and was completed in July 2021, prior to the expiry of SEL 1/11 in July 2021. The regulatory authority requested additional information in support of the application, which was provided. The Lease Undertaking application remains under consideration by the regulatory authority.

The Directors note that the Irish Government has stated that existing authorisations can continue to apply to progress through the licensing stages. This position is consistent with the recent legislative amendments made to the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960 through the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021.

In February 2021, the farmout agreement with SpotOn Energy Limited was extended to provide SpotOn with additional time to finalise project development funding. In April 2021, following SpotOn's failure to meet key financing conditions, the agreement was terminated.

Providence immediately reassumed direct responsibility for progressing the development and recruited an experienced Oil & Gas team to refresh and optimise a phased development plan for the Barryroe field, with Providence as operator. This new team's technical evaluation is nearing completion and includes independent contributions from specialist sub-surface, facilities, and drilling consultants. The aim is to prepare a phased project development plan which is operationally and economically robust. The results of this work will be incorporated into the full strategic review of the development potential of the Barryroe field to be completed in Q4 2021.

In February 2021 Providence Resources Plc subsidiary (Exola DAC) received consent to carry out a site survey. The survey is scheduled for October 2021.

Profit before tax for the period was EUR1.628m, due to a non-cash accounting gain in relation to the warrants revaluation (EUR3.155m net revaluation gain) which exceeded operating and administrative costs incurred in the period. The loss for the equivalent period was EUR9.247m (EUR7.764m net revaluation loss).

Basic/diluted profit per share of 0.18 cents and 0.14 cents versus loss in prior year of 1.30 cents for both basic and diluted.

As at 30 June 2021, total cash and cash equivalents was EUR3.645m versus EUR2.269m at 30 June 2020.

The Group had no debt as of 30 June 2021. (2020: Nil).

During the period 86,061,529 warrants at GBP0.03 were exercised raising c. EUR2.9m. The remainder of the warrants expired on the 6 May 2021. The warrants were issued as part of the May 2020 fund-raising. 177,973,004 warrants with an exercise price of GBP0.09 remain exercisable until 6 May 2022.

The total issued and voting share capital as of 30 June 2021 was 974,864,403 ordinary shares of EUR0.001 each.

4,500,000 share options were granted to both James Menton and Andrew Mackay on 24 May 2021.

4,500,000 share options were granted to both Peter Newman and Ann-Marie O'Sullivan on 18 August 2021.

Providence Resources Plc CEO, Alan Linn commented on the importance of the Barryroe development:

"It is widely recognised that gas will be an essential energy supply for decades to come, in order to underpin and complement the growth of renewable energy sources. With the decline of the Corrib Gas Field within a five-year period, we are focused on progressing our strategic plan for Barryroe as a matter of urgency. The successful development of Barryroe would secure an indigenous oil and gas supply for Ireland, without which 100% of Ireland's gas will be imported by 2031. At a time when much of Europe is experiencing difficulties with energy supply, a coherent transition strategy is critical to avoid the prospect of energy blackouts becoming a common occurrence."

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES P.l.c.

Note 1 -- Accounting Policies

General Information

Providence Resources P.l.c. ("the Company") is a Company incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Ireland. The registration number of the Company is 268662 and the address of the registered office is Paramount Court, Corrig Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18, D18 R9C7. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (the "Interim Financial Statements") include the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). The Interim Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 September 2021.

Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 ('last annual financial statements'). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS 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.

The 30 June 2021 figures and the 30 June 2020 comparative figures do not constitute statutory financial statements of the Group within the meaning of the Companies Act, 2014. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, together with the independent auditor's report thereon, were filed with the Irish Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting and are also available on the Company's Website. The auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified and contains a "material uncertainty related to going concern" paragraph.

The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors consider that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (See below for further details on the Directors assessment of going concern).

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual report.

The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the functional currency of the Company and also the presentation currency for the Group's financial reporting.

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES P.l.c.

Accounting Policies (continued)

Significant accounting policies (continued)

The significant accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2020.

Amendments to standards and interpretations which are effective for the Group from 1 January 2021 do not have a material effect on the results or financial posting in the interim financial statements as at and for the period ending 30 June 2021.

Going concern

The Group had net assets of EUR56.7m, including cash on hand of EUR3.6m as at 30 June 2021. It recognised a profit after taxation of EUR1.6m for the six month period as a result of a gain arising from the revaluation of warrants issued in 2020. The Directors have carefully considered the financial position of the Group and, in that context, have prepared the interim financial statements on a going concern basis.

The company raised approximately EUR2.9 million in equity in the period January to June 2021, through the conversion of 86,061,529 warrants of GBP0.03 each, which were issued as part of the May 2020 fundraising. The total conversion rate for these GBP0.03 warrants was 74.9%. There are 177,973,004 GBP0.09 further warrants in issue which expire on 6 May 2022.

The Group's principal interest is the development of the Barryroe oil and gas Field. The Barryroe Standard Exploration Licence period continued up until the 13 July 2021. Prior to its expiry, having met all the conditions attaching to that Licence, the Group applied for the follow-on permit, being a Lease Undertaking, which is subject to government approval. The approval process is ongoing and the Directors anticipate that the Lease Undertaking will be granted. The Directors note that the Irish Government has stated that existing authorisations can continue to apply to progress through the licensing stages. This position is consistent with the recent legislative amendments made to the Petroleum and Other Minerals Development Act 1960 through the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021.

The Directors have carefully considered the financial position of the Group and have prepared cashflow forecasts for the next 12 months, considering both current and future expenditure commitments and the options available to fund such commitments, including equity funding and other financing options in the twelve month period from the date of approval of these interim financial statements. In making their cashflow forecasts, including the primary underlying assumptions, being the granting of the Barryroe Lease Undertaking on terms and conditions that are acceptable along with the completion of an appropriate fund raising in the period for the proposed Barryroe work programme, the Directors believe that the Group will have sufficient funds available over the next 12 months to meet all its commitments as they fall due.

The Directors have considered the matters set out above and determined that the assumptions of the grant of the Barryroe Lease Undertaking and the related raising of additional funding in the next 12 months represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and the Directors note that the Group may, as a consequence, be unable to continue realising its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES P.l.c.

   Going concern         (continued) 

The Directors, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable

future. The Directors anticipate that an appropriate financing exercise will be successfully completed and note that the Group has continued to have the strong support of its shareholders.

For these reasons, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements which do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if this basis were subsequently adjudged to be inappropriate.

On 5 May 2020, the Company issued 177,973,004 Ordinary Shares as part of a placing and subscription agreement which raised c. EUR3.1m from security instruments before expenses. Each of these security instruments comprised of one Ordinary Share of EUR0.001, one GBP0.03 warrant and one GBP0.09 warrant.

On issuance, a fair value of EUR1.9m was attributed to the Ordinary Shares (share capital / share premium outlined above) and EUR1.2m to the Warrant instruments based on the effective share price at that date. In line with the Group's accounting policies these Warrants are presented as financial liabilities (note 10).

The holder of each warrant can exercise its rights under the instrument which allows that holder to convert the warrant into one ordinary share, with a par amount of EUR0.001, by payment of the exercise price of GBP0.03 or GBP0.09, as applicable. The warrants are non-transferrable.

During the period from January 2021 to June 2021, 86,061,529 GBP0.03 warrants were converted in Ordinary Shares raising an additional EUR2.9m for the company. The GBP0.03 warrants expired on the 6 May 2021. The GBP0.03 warrants were issued as part of the fund raising in 2020.

Note 10 - Warrants

On 5 May 2020, the Company raised c. EUR3.1m by the issue of security instruments with each security instrument comprising one ordinary share, with a par amount of EUR0.001, one GBP0.03 warrant (expires in May 2021) and one GBP0.09 warrant (expires in May 2022). The fair value of the warrants was calculated using Black Scholes model. The following key input assumptions were applied to the initial valuation on issuance of these instruments:

The c. EUR3.1m raised before expenses, from previous and new shareholder investors, for the security instruments in May 2020 was considered the transaction price fair value. The split of this fair value on issuance of these security instruments, based on a placing effective share price of EUR0.01068, was EUR0.531m for the GBP0.03 Warrants, EUR0.622m for the GBP0.09 Warrants and EUR1.901m for the Ordinary Shares (split between share capital and share premium account (note 7)).

On 30 June 2020, the warrants were fair valued using appropriate inputs including the closing share price on that day of EUR0.0448. The fair value movement being the difference between initial valuation and 30 June 2020 valuation in the amount of EUR7.764m going through the finance expense line in the income statement.

The fair value of the warrants exercised during the year 2020 is recognised as a finance expense of EUR2.02m in the income statement (see note 3) with a corresponding increase in share premium.

On 31 December 2020, the warrants were fair valued using appropriate inputs including the closing share price on that day of EUR0.055. The period of 18 months was used for the volatility calculation for the GBP0.09 warrants which would expire on 6 May 2022 and the GBP0.03 warrants which expire on 6 May 2021. The 4-month period for the GBP0.03 warrants was too short and would distort the volatility calculation as it is key component when calculating the fair value using Black Scholes. The fair value movement being the difference between the initial valuation and 31 December 2020 valuation in the amount of EUR5.56m is recorded as a finance expense in the income statement.

Note 12 -- Share schemes

Share option schemes were introduced in August 1997 (expired August 2007), May 2005 (expired October 2015) and June 2009 (expired in June 2019) under which share options may be offered to employees, Directors and consultants. In addition, a long-term incentive plan was introduced in 2016. Options are recommended at a level to attract retain and motivate participants in the competitive environment in which the Group operates, The Remuneration Committee reviews and assesses proposals to grant share options to participants.

The Group operates the following employee share schemes:

2020 Scheme

In 2020, the directors adopted a share option scheme which contains certain performance criteria. No options can be issued after 10 years of the scheme. The option price is the market price immediately preceding the date of the grant. The "2020 scheme" operates as an equity-settled share option scheme and the options granted are subject to certain conditions. No option is exercisable more than seven years after grant date and no option is exercisable within one year of grant.

PROVIDENCE RESOURCES P.l.c.

Note 12 -- Share schemes (continued)

The applicable criteria for the exercise of the options are;

   (i)      33% of the total number of options granted are exercisable after one. 
   (ii)      33% of the total number of options granted are exercisable after two years. 
   (iii)      The remaining 33% of the total number of options granted are exercisable after a further year has elapsed. 

During the period, 9,000,000 share options were granted under the 2020

Share option scheme.   The 9,000,000 options were granted to the Directors.
