Exillon Energy plc
Interim results for the first six months of 2012
31 August 2012
31 August 2012 - Exillon Energy plc (EXI.LN), a London Premium
listed independent oil producer with assets in two oil-rich regions
of Russia, Timan-Pechora ("Exillon TP") and West Siberia ("Exillon
WS"), today issues its interim results for the first six months to
30 June 2012.
Highlights
Production Growth
-- Oil production increased 48% from 1.42 million to 2.1 million
barrels. Production guidance of 17,000 bpd by end of 2012
reiterated
Financials
-- EBITDA increased 98% from US$7.8 million to US$15.5 million.
Net profit fell from US$5.9 million to net loss of US$1.7 million.
The fall in net profit arose primarily because of the absence of
non-cash FX gains made in 2011, and a write-off of the up-front
costs of increasing our debt facility
-- US$138.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June
2012. Net cash position was US$38.3 million
Operations
-- Excellent drilling results in the first six months of the year:
o Drilling speeds in Exillon WS reduced to around 20 days per
well
o New strategy of drilling wells at 60 degree angle doubles
exposed net pay
o Lack of oil water contact in wells drilled to North East of
the EWS I field suggests substantial reserves increase likely in
this area of the field
o Improved completion and cementing procedures across
portfolio
Infrastructure
-- Significant infrastructure progress:
o Completion of oil treatment and power generation facilities in
both Exillon TP and Exillon WS
o Completion of Exillon's own entry point into Transneft
pipeline network expected to improve EBITDA per barrel going
forward
Mark Martin, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am very pleased with the progress that Exillon has made in
the first six months of the year. We have increased oil production
by 48% and EBITDA by 98% compared to the same period in 2011.
The completion of our oil treatment and power generation
facilities combined with our new entry point into Transneft
pipeline network is expected to further improve EBITDA per barrel
going forward and our new strategy of drilling wells at a 60 degree
angle has materially increased each well's exposure to net pay
resulting in higher average production levels from these wells.
Our strong cash position leaves us ideally placed to progress
our development plans and I look forward to meeting investors in
September to detail our plans to continue to expand our production,
drive up our EBITDA per barrel and increase our audited
reserves."

Drilling
We announce wells when completed and tested. During the
reporting period we announced the following wells: North EWS I -
61, East EWS I-51, East EWS I - 52, East EWS I - 54 and East EWS I
- 53.
In addition we have drilled but not yet completed or announced
three wells in ETP (Well 7601 on ETP III, Wells 5 and 2003 on ETP
IV). We will announce the results of these well once they have been
completed.
"Completion" of a well involves various procedures such as
casing, cementation, perforation and testing.
Dear Shareholders,
Exillon has enjoyed a very successful first six months to 2012,
increasing oil production by 48% to 2.1 million barrels. Based on
our drilling results, we reiterate our previous guidance that we
expect to reach a daily production rate of 17,000 barrels per day
by the end of 2012.
During the reporting period, our revenue increased 58% from
US$88.4 million to US$140.0 million. Mainly as a result of rising
production and improved efficiency, our netback (which we define as
revenue less Mineral Extraction Tax, Export Duty and Transneft
charges) rose 55% from US$28.7 million to US$44.5 million.
EBITDA increased 98% from US$7.8 million to US$15.5 million,
whilst net profit fell from US$5.9 million to net loss of US$1.7
million. The growth in EBITDA was a result of continuing investment
in our surface infrastructure and the success of our drilling and
workover programme. EBITDA was equivalent to US$7.4 per barrel,
compared to our budgeted figure of US$7.8. The fall in net profit
was due to the lack of foreign exchange gains made in 2011,
increased depreciation charges and the amortisation of shares
awards made in 2011. No share awards have been made in 2012.
Our balance sheet is stronger than expected with US$138.5
million of cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2012, which is
ahead of our originally budgeted cash balance. On 3rd February we
increased our loan with Credit Suisse to US$100 million, at a
reduced interest margin and with an extended maturity of 5 years.
This 5 year facility is our only debt. As at 30 June 2012, debt was
US$100.2 million, so our net cash position was US$38.3 million.
Operationally we have seen excellent results from our drilling
programme this year. Drilling speeds in Exillon WS have been
reduced to around 20 days per well. Our new strategy of drilling
wells at a 60 degree angle has been successful, exposing double the
net pay compared to vertical wells, and we have also begun to drill
Exillon's first horizontal sidetrack wells. Our completion and
cementing procedures have improved, and we have substantially
increased our water injection rates to sustain the productivity of
our fields.
In terms of infrastructure, we have completed our oil treatment
and power generation facilities in both Exillon TP and Exillon WS,
and in August we completed our own entry point into the Transneft
pipeline network. The latter did not contribute to these 6 month
results but will improve our EBITDA per barrel further in the
second half of 2012, as well as guaranteeing our operational
independence.
Drilling results in Exillon WS continue to exceed our
expectations. The high natural flow rates, achieved without any
well stimulation, demonstrate that the newly developed areas of our
reservoir are thick and of high quality. The lack of any oil water
contact to date in the North East of the EWS I field also indicates
that a substantial increase in reserves in this area of the licence
is likely when we conduct our annual reserves audit at the end of
the year.
Strategically, on 12th January we announced the acquisition of
the ETP VII licence in Timan Pechora, increasing our contiguous
licence area at ETP by 61% to 344km(2) . We have completed our
initial seismic exploration and modelling of these areas and are
currently finalising our exploration plans for ETP VII and also for
the ETP VI licence area that we acquired in 2011. We are also in
the late stages of acquiring another substantial contiguous licence
area for a modest acquisition cost which will increase our
exploration potential further.
We have also made progress in controlling our central overhead
costs. For example we have reduced our financial audit costs by
40%, and made a variety of other administrative savings.
We look forward to meeting investors and analysts on our
forthcoming roadshow in September, during which we will set out our
medium term plans in further detail. This will set out how we
intend to continue to 1) expand our production 2) drive up our
EBITDA per barrel and 3) increase our audited reserves.

MATERIAL EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS
Drilling Update
The following material events and transactions were announced
relating to activity during the period:
Drilling Update - East EWS I - 51
Well East EWS I-51, which was spudded on 7 May 2012, was drilled
in 20 days on the northern part of the East EWS I field. This was
the first development well drilled from pad 5 following the success
of exploration well 50 drilled last year.
The well flowed water-free oil naturally to the surface with a
flow rate of 892 bbl/day on an 8 mm choke and 1,218 bbl/day on a 10
mm choke. The well encountered the Jurassic P reservoir at 1,861
meters, confirming 15.0 meters of effective vertical net pay within
the Jurassic. Due to the trajectory of the well bore this exposed
30.7 meters of effective net oil pay for production.
Oil water contact in this area of the field was previously
assumed at 1,872 meters, and well 51 was designed to test this
assumption. The new well has not encountered an oil water
transition zone and confirmed presence of oil at least 4 meters
below the previously assumed oil water contact.
Drilling Update - North EWS I - 61
Well North EWS I - 61, which was spudded on 30 April 2012, was
drilled in 31 days on the North EWS I field.
The well encountered the Jurassic P reservoir at 1,856m,
confirming 9.5 meters of net oil pay. The well was drilled
directionally with a high level of deviation (1.6km) to the north
of Pad 6.
Drilling Update - East EWS I - 52
Well East EWS I - 52 was spudded on 18 June 2012 and drilled in
19 days on the northern part of the East EWS I field. The well
flowed water-free oil naturally to the surface with a test flow
rate of 692 bbl/day on an 8 mm choke. Only part of the net pay zone
has so far been perforated. The well encountered the Jurassic P
reservoir at 1,865 metres, confirming 21.7 metres of effective
vertical net pay. Due to the angled trajectory of the well bore
this exposed 40.6 metres of effective net oil pay for
production.
The oil water contact in this area of the field had originally
been assumed to be at 1,872 metres. The new well has not
encountered an oil water transition zone and has confirmed the
presence of oil at least 21 metres below the originally assumed oil
water contact.
Drilling Update - East EWS I - 54
Well East EWS I - 54 was spudded on 29 May 2012 and drilled in
18 days on the northern part of the East EWS I field. The well
flowed water-free oil naturally to the surface with a combined test
flow rate of 721 bbl/day on an 8 mm choke.
The well encountered the Jurassic P reservoir at -1,857 metres
sub-sea, confirming 14.9 metres of effective vertical net pay and
30 metres of effective measured net pay for production due to the
angled trajectory of the wellbore. In addition the well encountered
4.5 metres of effective vertical net pay of pre-Jurassic reservoir.
This was tested separately, and resulted in the natural flow rate
to surface of 263 bbl/day on an 8 mm choke.
The oil water contact in this area of the field had originally
been assumed to be at -1,872 metres sub-sea. The new well has not
encountered an oil water transition zone and has flowed oil from a
zone that is 10 meters below previously assumed oil water
contact.
Drilling Update - East EWS I - 53
Well East EWS I - 53 was spudded on 19th July 2012 and drilled
and cemented in 24 days on the northern part of the East EWS I
field. The well encountered the Jurassic P reservoir at 1,875
metres, confirming 20.3 metres of effective vertical net pay. Due
to the angled trajectory of the well bore, this exposed 38.4 metres
of effective net oil pay for production.
The combined well flowed water-free oil naturally to the surface
with a test flow rate of 828 bbl/day on a 8mm choke.
Financial
On 3rd February 2012 our wholly owned subsidiary Exillon Finance
Limited ("Exillon Finance") signed a new term loan with Credit
Suisse. Further details are given in Note 19 of these financial
statements.
Acquisition
On 30 December 2011, Exillon acquired the Sinatiyskoye
exploration and production licence in a state auction for a total
consideration of USD 1.3 million. The licence is valid until 30
December 2036, and has been designated "ETP VII".
ETP VII borders the southern boundary of the Group's existing
ETP II field, with its existing oil production infrastructure. The
licence covers an area of 130.4 km(2). For reference, our existing
six Exillon TP fields cover an area of approximately 214 km(2).
ETP VII is already largely covered by 2D seismic data which has
identified eight significant geological structures. Tectonically
the eastern part of ETP VII is located in the Khoreiverskaya
depression, and the western part is at the intersection of
Khoreiverskaya depression and Kolvinskiy swell. The potential of
the licence relates to sediments in the lower Silurian period.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The interim condensed consolidated financial information of
Exillon Energy plc for the six month period ended 30 June 2012 has
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Statements". The condensed consolidated financial information and
notes on pages 8 through to 23 should be read in conjunction with
this review which has been included to assist in the understanding
of the Group's financial position at 30 June 2012.
Summary
EBITDA for the six months ended 30 June 2012 increased by 98% to
US$15.5 million compared to US$7.8 million for the six months ended
30 June 2011.
Net loss for the period, which includes depreciation costs,
foreign exchange loss and share-based compensation amounted to
US$1.7 million compared to net profit of US$5.9 million for the six
months ended 30 June 2011.
Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 increased by
58% year-on-year, reaching US$140.0 million (2011: US$88.4
million), of which US$83.9 million or 60% came from export sales of
crude oil and US$56.1 million or 40% came from domestic sales of
crude oil. This increase in revenue is attributable to:
-- An increase in production leading to a 43% increase in sale
volumes from 1,374,536 bbl in 2011 to 1,966,861 bbl; and
-- An increase in average commodity prices: we achieved an
average oil price of US$113/bbl (2011: US$107/bbl) for export sales
and US$46/bbl (2011: US$42/bbl) for domestic sales.
Our netbacks for domestic and export sales are similar because
of the effect of Export Duty. The increase is 55% from US$28.7
million to US$44.5 million year-on-year.
Operating Results
Operating costs excluding depreciation, depletion and
amortisation increased to US$58.4 million (2011: US$35.5 million)
following an increase in production of 48% to 2,100,162 bbl (2011:
1,423,276 bbl). The difference between the production volumes and
sales volumes is due to the change in the oil inventory balance
during the year. The increase in production costs is mainly related
to the growth of mineral extraction tax from US$28.1 million in
2011 to US$45.0 million in 2012, as a result of both higher
production volumes and increased average commodity prices in 2012
used in the calculation of the tax.
Depreciation, depletion and amortisation costs primarily relate
to the depreciation of proven and probable reserves and other
production and non-production assets. These costs totalled US$8.2
million (2011: US$5.8 million). The increase in DD&A costs is
driven by higher production volumes and our increasing asset
base.
Selling expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2012 of
US$55.7 million (2011: US$36.5 million) is comprised of export
duties of US$44.1 million (2011: US$27.5 million), transportation
services of US$10.8 million (2011: US$8.1 million) and other
selling expenses of US$0.8 million (2011: US$0.9 million).
Transportation services include services provided by Transneft and
transportation services from oil field to oil filling station.
Export duty rates increased from the beginning of the period by
13%, from US$397.5 per tonne to US$448.6 per tonne reflecting the
increase in crude oil prices. Export duty is reviewed by the
Russian government on a monthly basis and is based on a formula
that takes into account the average Urals price prevailing in the
market between the 15(th) and 15(th) of the two months prior to the
month of delivering the crude.
Administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation
expenses and share issuance costs) totalled US$10.7 million (2011:
US$8.0 million). This is explained by an increase in headcount
leading to an ensuing increase in salaries.
In 2012, interest income increased to US$1.6 million (2011:
US$0.2 million) resulting from surplus cash being held on
short-term deposits and VTB credit-linked deposits.
It should be noted that - in accordance with IFRS - a foreign
exchange loss of US$0.04 million has been included in our net
expense arising from the revaluation of foreign currency monetary
items (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable,
other assets) using the closing rate at the reporting date. A
larger foreign exchange loss of US$10.1 million has been applied
directly to the consolidated statement of financial position as the
part of translation reserve being the result of the translation of
our net investment in our foreign operations.
As a result of the above, the Group reported a net loss after
tax of US$1.7 million compared to a profit of US$5.9 million for
the six months ended 30 June 2011.
Financial position
In February 2012 we received proceeds of US$14.3 million
comprising the nominal value and accrued interest in relation to
Eurobonds issued by EBRD.
In March 2012 we replaced our existing US$50 million loan
facility by US$100 million facility with a LIBOR plus 6% interest
rate and a term of 5 years. The previous loan had an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 7% and a term of 3.5 years.
We ended the period in a strong financial position with US$138.5
million of cash and cash equivalents (2011: US$117.6 million) with
outstanding borrowings of US$100.2 million, equivalent to a net
cash position of US$38.3 million.
The increase in the cost of property, plant and equipment has
been driven by the drilling of wells and further development of
field infrastructure in Exillon WS and the launch of extensive
field development in Exillon TP.

Report on Review of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
Exillon Energy Plc
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated
financial statements of Exillon Energy Plc, comprising the interim
consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2012 and
the related interim consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period
then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for
the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting." Our responsibility is to express a
conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A
review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements
consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance
that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with Accounting Standard 34, "Interim
Financial Reporting."

EXILLON ENERGY PLC
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Background
The principal activity of Exillon Energy plc (the "Company" or
the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") is
exploration, development and production of oil. The Group's
production facilities are based in the Republic of Komi and the
Khanty-Mansiysk Region of the Russian Federation. The Group's
structure is provided in Note 24.
Exillon Energy plc is a public limited company which is listed
on the London Stock Exchange and is incorporated and domiciled in
the Isle of Man. The Company was formed on 27 March 2008. Its
registered address is Fort Anne, South Quay, Douglas, Isle of Man,
IM1 5PD.
As at 30 June 2012, the largest shareholder has 30.2% (2011:
30.2%) in the Company's outstanding issued share capital.
The Group's operations are conducted primarily through its
subsidiaries, Exillon TP and Exillon WS.
2. basis of preparation
This condensed consolidated interim financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2012 has been prepared in accordance
with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim
financial reporting". The condensed consolidated interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, which have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRSs"). The operations carried out by the Group are
not subjected to the seasonality or cyclicality factors.
3. going concern
The Group's business activities, together with the factors
likely to affect its future development, performance and position
including financial risk factors are set out on pages 5 and 6. In
carrying out their assessment, the Directors have considered the
Company and the Group budgets, the cash flow forecasts, trading
estimates, contractual arrangements, committed financing and
exposure to contingent liabilities. The Directors believe that the
Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably
possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group is
adequately financed and the Group therefore continues to adopt the
going concern basis in preparing its consolidated interim financial
statements.
4. Retrospective restatement of errors
Foreign exchange gain of US$5,318 thousand for the six months
ended 30 June 2011 attributable to the loans issued to the foreign
subsidiaries of the Company the settlement of which is neither
planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, was
reclassified from profit or loss to other comprehensive income
through the retrospective restatement in accordance with IAS 8,
"Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors."
5. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting policies - the accounting policies applied are
consistent with those of the annual consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.
The following amendments to the standards did not have any
impact on the accounting policies, financial
position or performance of the Group:
-- IFRS 7, "Financial instruments: Disclosures" (amendment,
effective on or after 1 July 2011);
-- IFRS 1, "Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for
First-time Adopters" (amendment, effective on or after 1 July
2011).
During the six months ended 30 June 2012 the Group has not early
adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has
been issued but is not yet effective.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty:
The preparation of interim financial statements requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions 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.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, 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 that applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2011.
6. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Management has determined the operating segments based on the
reports reviewed by Directors that are used to make strategic
decisions, who are deemed to be the chief operating decision maker
("CODM").

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the
Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade
receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the
reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to
the customer base. Accordingly, the management of the Group
believes that there is no further credit provision required in
excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

In accordance with the licence agreements the Group is liable
for site restoration, clean up and abandonment of the wells upon
completion of their production cycle. The provision for future site
restoration relates to obligations to restore the oilfields after
use. All of these costs are expected to be incurred at the end of
the life of wells after 2027. They depend on the estimated lives of
the wells, the scale of any possible contamination and the timing
and extent of corrective actions.
The unwinding of the discount related to future site restoration
and abandonment reserve is included within finance costs. The
management believes that this estimate of the future liability is
appropriate to the size of the fields.

22. Risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial
risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate
risk and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include all financial risk management information and disclosures
required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in
conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31
December 2011.
Major categories of financial instruments - On 6 May 2011, the
Group purchased Eurobonds issued by EBRD for the total
consideration of US$15,399 thousand. According to Standard &
Poor's independent rating agency the bonds have AAA credit rating.
The financial instruments are denominated in RUR with the fixed
interest rate of 6%.
These financial assets were measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method with interest income recognised by
applying the effective interest rate.
The Group received proceeds of US$14,313 thousand comprising the
nominal value and accrued interest in relation to the maturity of
Eurobonds on 14 February 2012.
The difference between the consideration paid and the receipt
relates to the foreign exchange loss arising on the revaluation of
foreign currency denominated bonds at the maturity date.
Cash is placed in financial institutions which are considered to
have minimal risk of default in compliance with independent rating
agencies and held mainly on short-term deposits and VTB
credit-linked deposits.

Leases - the Group leases three wells and associated land plots
from government agencies in the Russian Federation. The initial
terms on all leases has expired as at 31 December 2011. During the
six months ended 30 June 2012 two lease contracts out of three were
extended till 2017 and 2038, respectively. The extension of the
contract for the third well is currently under negotiation. The
lease terms allow for continued lease renewal after expiry of the
initial term. In continuing to use these wells, the Group relies on
Article 621(2) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which
states that such leases are renewed for an indefinite term if the
tenant continues to use the property after the term of the lease
has expired in the absence of objections from the lessor, although
either party is entitled to terminate the lease upon three months'
notice. The Group believes that the Russian authorities are
unlikely to exercise this termination right as the Group has the
exclusive right to extract the oil resources underlying the wells
and continues to make lease payments.
24. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
For the purposes of the financial statements, parties are
considered to be related if one party has the ability to control
the other party, is under common control, or can exercise
significant influence over the other party in making financial and
operational decisions. In considering each possible related party
relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the
relationship, not merely the legal form.
The Group had no outstanding balances with related parties as of
30 June 2012 and 31 December 2011.
