Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2009
PetroLatina delivers maiden interim profit before tax
Drill programme's 100% success rate to date will significantly increase
production and reserves
PetroLatina, the oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Latin
America, announces its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30
June 2009.
Financial Highlights
* Revenues remained constant at $4.5 million
* Operating profit increased by 109% to $571,000 (2008: $273,000)
* Maiden interim profit before tax of $99,000 (2008: loss of $408,000)
* Basic earnings per share of $0.004 (2008: loss per share of $0.016)
* First and increased second tranche of a convertible loan note for, in aggregate,
$11.165 million secured from a subsidiary of existing substantial shareholder
Tribeca Oil & Gas Inc, of which $9.875 million was subscribed during the period
under review
* Total current liabilities of $28.7 million (including $9.875 million in respect
of the convertible loan note)
* Cash at period end of $4.2 million
Operational Highlights
* Average production increased 222% to 902 bopd net (2008: 280 bopd net)
* RZA pipeline average throughput increased by 17% to 3,669 bopd (2008: 3,134
bopd)
* The La Paloma block's first exploration well, Colon-1, proved successful. Total
gross production over the 44 days to 30 June 2009 was 32,499 barrels at an
average rate of approximately 739 barrels per day. Total gross production over
the 95 days to 31 August 2009 was 55,931 barrels at an average rate of
approximately 589 barrels per day.
*
* Well results and recent 3D seismic are being used to re-map and determine the
size of the discovery
* The Tisquirama Field saw three successful development wells drilled:
*
* The Los Angeles-11 and Los Angeles-14 are both on stream. The gross production
of Los Angeles 11 to 30 June 2009 was 13,993 barrels at an average rate of 178
barrels per day and to 31 August 2009 was 23,539 barrels at an average rate of
177 barrels per day. The gross production of Los Angeles 14 to 30 June 2009 was
13,994 barrels at an average rate of 203 barrels per day and to 31 August 2009
was 14,705 barrels at an average production rate of 191 barrels per day.
* The Los Angeles-12 exploration well was producing from the Umir sand at an
average rate of 57 bopd but was shut-in in August for a frac job. That frac job
has subsequently proved to have been only partially successful. Production
briefly increased to an average gross rate of 120 barrels per day before falling
back to near the pre frac rate. An economic evaluation is therefore currently
underway to determine whether it is more advantageous to produce the Umir sand,
which has a relatively low production rate but in which the Company holds a
larger interest, or whether a better financial result would be obtained by
switching production to the oil bearing Lower Lisama formation which is expected
to produce at approximately 200 barrels per day gross but in which the Company
has a lower interest.
Post Period End Highlights
* Chuira-1, the first exploration well on the Midas block, successfully logged and
tested two pay zones. Production in this well decreased from 280 bopd to 40 bopd
between 22 July 2009 and 25 August 2009 due to interpreted plugging of the
producing perforations by either barite settling or gilsonite plugging and, for
that reason a workover was planned to remove this restriction. The service rig
is currently on location and the workover is expected to be completed within two
weeks.
* The Colon-2 development well at La Paloma, adjacent to the Colon-1 discovery,
has recently been completed and placed on a production test at an average rate
of 664 bopd
Ongoing Work Programme
* Continued development of the Los Angeles field with two further development
wells planned this year
* The work over of the Chuira-1 discovery well is now in progress
* A further exploration well (Llamador-1) is planned on the La Paloma block once
the location has been determined
* A second exploration well (Zoe-1) is planned on the Midas block in November
* Putumayo-4 continues to be in a planning and programme design stage for seismic
acquisition
* The Serafín gas project is now expected to come on stream in the first quarter
of 2010
* An updated independent reserves report has been commissioned and is expected to
be completed by the year end
Luc Gerard, Executive Chairman of PetroLatina, commented:
"2009 will be the busiest year for development and exploration activity in
PetroLatina's history. With the drilling of at least eight wells planned for
2009 and a 100% success rate achieved for the six wells drilled to date, we are
on track to deliver significantly increased production and reserves.
"Despite the lower oil price we are delighted to report a maiden pre-tax profit
and expect profitability to continue to improve reflecting both increasing
production and reduced corporate and operating costs.
"Our strategy now is to use the cash flow generated from production to progress
those projects with the potential to provide the quickest returns."

PetroLatina Energy Plc
Chairman´s Statement
For the period ended 30 June 2009
The first half of 2009 saw the Group deliver a marked improvement in its
financial results in terms of achieving a maiden interim profit before tax. This
was primarily as a result of the successful exploration programme which
increased production.
It was unfortunate that the increased production volumes achieved coincided with
a swift decline in the oil price during the first half of the year, and the
lower oil price environment has led the Group to be particularly focused on cash
management and efforts to improve cash flow from operations.
The drilling successes in the year to date have resulted in several significant
prospects being identified, particularly on the La Paloma block which will now
take priority in the Group´s near-term plans, with expenditure targeted on the
faster payout development opportunities existing there. The Group is currently
undertaking a number of initiatives to apportion the cash flow generated from
production to areas of the Group's portfolio that will provide quick returns,
and whilst any petroleum production company remains at the mercy of the global
oil price, PetroLatina has taken the necessary actions to remain on track to
achieve both increased production and reserves in an industry that remains
integral to the global economy.

PetroLatina Energy Plc
Chief Executive Officer's Statement
For the period ended 30 June 2009
Overview
During the 6 month period under review, the Group performed relatively well
despite the backdrop of a global economic recession and lower oil prices,
achieving most of its financial targets. Revenue remained constant, but gross
profit increased by approximately 6% and we delivered a maiden profit before tax
of $99,000 (2008: loss of $408,000).
During the first half of 2009, PetroLatina successfully secured an increased
$6.29 million second tranche of a previously announced convertible loan note
(the "Note") for an aggregate principal amount of $11,165,000 from Tribeca Oil &
Gas Financing Inc., a subsidiary of our largest shareholder, Tribeca Oil & Gas
Inc. A total of $9.875 million of this Note had been subscribed by the period
end. These funds provided the Group with additional cash resources to meet
certain outstanding liabilities and finance its ongoing work programme in
Colombia.
Review of Operations
PetroLatina commenced an aggressive drilling campaign aimed at increasing
production in its existing fields and making new discoveries in prospects on its
exploration blocks, as summarised below:
Tisquirama License
Santa Lucia Field: The seismic interpretation acquired in 2008 was finalised,
with a total of 76.23 square kilometres of 3D seismic being processed. This
information was utilised in determining the location for well SL-4.
Los Angeles Field: As a result of geological and geophysics interpretations, 3
new wells resulted in successful discoveries (ANG-11, ANG-12 and ANG-14). ANG-11
and ANG-14 are producing at an average gross rate of 178 bopd and 203 bopd
respectively; and ANG-12 is producing at an average gross rate of approximately
60 bopd (following a recent partially successful frac job) from a newly
discovered oil bearing zone as part of an extended and ongoing test programme.
La Paloma Exploration and Production Agreement
The first well to be drilled at La Paloma, Colon-1, resulted in a successful
discovery with initial tests giving rise to positive results. An extended test
started in April and will last for six months. The well produced 32,499 gross
barrels to 30 June 2009. Total gross production over the 95 days to 31 August
2009 was 55,931 barrels at an average rate of approximately 589 barrels per day.
Since the period end, we have recently drilled the Colon-2 development well
which is now on a production test at an average rate of 664 bopd. The La Paloma
block is held under attractive terms from the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos
("ANH") whereby a royalty of 8% and a corporate tax rate of 33% is applied. No
government back in right applies to this block.
Midas Exploration and Production Agreement:
Chuira-1 was drilled at the end of June; oil was found in two separate zones and
the upper zone was put into production. Due to plugging problems, a workover job
is now being conducted to remove suspected plugging by drilling fluid and/or
gilsonite and restore the upper La Luna zone in this well to full production. In
addition, further work is planned to be performed in the lower zone of the La
Luna reservoir in order to evaluate the real prospectivity and production
potential of this well. In the second half of the year, a second exploration
well, (Zoe-1), is currently intended to be drilled on the Midas block. The Midas
block is held under the same attractive ANH terms as those outlined for the La
Paloma block above.
Lebrija License:
Doña Maria Field: A review of the existing geological and geophysical
information is currently underway in order to re-evaluate the future potential
of this area. The field continues to produce from two wells.
Putumayo-4 Exploration and Production Agreement:
In December 2008, PetroLatina was awarded the Putumayo-4 block in the Colombian
licence bidding round "Mini-Ronda 2008". The block covers an area of 51,333
hectares located in the Putumayo Basin of southern Colombia and has over 400km
of pre-existing 2D seismic data. The formal agreement was signed in February
2009 with the ANH and a seismic reprocessing bidding process has been
initiated.
Rio Zulia - Ayacucho Pipeline ("RZA")
During the first half of 2009, daily average throughput of 3,669 bopd was
achieved from the Tibú and Río Zulia fields, which represents an increase of
approximately 17% on the equivalent period to June 2008. Further development of
the Tibú field by Ecopetrol S.A. could lead to a significant increase in the
flow of oil throughput and consequently the Group currently expects utilisation
of the Group's RZA pipeline to increase.
Guatemalan Assets
Despite having sold our former assets (Licences A7-2005 and A-6-93) in Guatemala
to Quetzal Energy Inc. on 23 July 2007, the Company retained a 20 per cent.
carried interest in the first three wells to be worked over in 2008, and a 20
per cent. working interest in future wells. Following evaluation of the
prospectivity for ATZAM-3, the Company opted not to participate in this
particular well but will still appraise and review its right to participate in
future wells in Guatemala as appropriate.
Serafin Gas Development
The Group has started the engineering design for this project. Its construction
stage is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of this year and is
scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2010.
Financial Review
During the first half of 2009, revenues remained broadly consistent and totalled
$4,515,000 (2008: $4,498,000), despite the negative impact of lower oil prices
with average crude WTI prices of $51.25 per barrel (June 2008: $110.96). This
was offset by higher net average production which increased to 902 bopd (2008:
280 bopd). In addition, deliveries through the RZA pipeline for the first half
increased to 3,669 bopd compared to 3,134 bopd transported in the equivalent
period in 2008.
PetroLatina generated a maiden profit before tax in the period of $99,000
reflecting a reduction in operating and administration expenses following the
implementation of a Group wide austerity plan.
As referred to above, the Group successfully secured convertible loan note
financing from TOGF for an aggregate amount of $11,165,000 in order to satisfy
certain outstanding liabilities and finance its ongoing work programme. However,
the Group will need to raise additional funds to complete its entire planned
work programme. Accordingly, the directors are currently in discussions with
third party finance providers, as well as the key shareholders, and remain
confident that the Group will be able to raise the required funds to finance its
future working capital requirements.
Outlook
In the second half of the year, we will continue with the implementation of our
strategy and the associated capital investment programme. Continued success will
require the Group to remain technologically advanced and capital expenditure is
expected to remain at a high level in the years ahead.
We aim to grow PetroLatina into one of the major players in Colombia's oil and
gas industry and will seek to capitalise on the clear opportunities available to
increase production, reserves and shareholder returns.

Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June
2009 which comprises the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related
explanatory notes.
We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of and has been approved by the directors. The directors are
responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the rules of the
London Stock Exchange for companies trading securities on the Alternative
Investment Market which require that the half-yearly report be presented and
prepared in a form consistent with that which will be adopted in the company's
annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable to such
annual accounts.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review.
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement to
assist the company in meeting the requirements of the rules of the London Stock
Exchange for companies trading securities on the Alternative Investment Market
and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless
such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for
the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so
by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for
this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly
disclaim any and all such liability.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, 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 (UK and Ireland) 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 condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial
report for the six months ended 30 June 2009 is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with the rules of the London Stock Exchange for
companies trading securities on the Alternative Investment Market.
Emphasis of matter - going concern
In forming our conclusion, which is not qualified, we have considered the
adequacy of the disclosures made in the Financial Review section of the Chief
Executive Officer's statement on page 5, and in the notes to the financial
statements on page 15 of the half-yearly financial report for the six months
ended 30 June 2009 concerning the Group's need to raise further funds in order
to finance the Group's development work programme. Although the directors expect
to be able to raise the required funds, there are no binding agreements in place
at this time. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty
which may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

PetroLatina Energy Plc
Unaudited notes forming part of the unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements
for the period ended 30 June 2009
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using policies
based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC
interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
as adopted for use in the EU. The condensed interim financial information has
been prepared using the accounting policies which will be applied in the Group's
statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009. This results
in the adoption of the revision to IAS 1; this revision prohibits the
presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, "non-owner changes in
equity") in the statement of changes in equity, requiring "non-owner changes in
equity" to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All non-owner
changes in equity will be required to be shown in a performance statement. This
revision has been applied throughout these interim financial statements.
All amounts have been prepared in US dollars, this being the Group's
presentational currency.
The Group plans to continue its extensive drilling programme in the next twelve
months, which should transform more of its oil reserves into producing reserves.
Following a review of the Group's financial position and its budgets and plans,
this programme is currently not fully funded from resources at the Group's
disposal. The Directors have reviewed the financial position of the Group as at
30 June 2009 and since the balance sheet date and are in the process of securing
a large part of the required funding. Negotiations with a number of major
investment banks are at an advanced stage to secure the remaining funds and
this, combined with the Group's current production, exploration and near term
production potential, as reflected in the Group's recent announcements, should
fully fund the remaining planned work programme. Whilst the Directors are
confident that the Group will be able to raise the required funds to finance its
working capital requirements, there can be no guarantee that the current
negotiations will be completed within 12 months from the date of the financial
statements and therefore there exists a material uncertainty which may cast
significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors are confident that the Group
will be able to raise the required funds therefore these financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not
include the adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as
a going concern.
2 Financial reporting period
The condensed interim financial information for the period 1 January 2009 to 30
June 2009 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Directors the condensed interim
financial information for the period presents fairly the financial position, and
the results from operations and cash flows for the period are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The financial
statements incorporate comparative figures for the interim period 1 January 2008
to 30 June 2008 and the audited financial year to 31 December 2008.
The financial information contained in this interim report does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined by section 435 of the Companies Act 2006.
The comparatives for the full year ended 31 December 2008 are not the Group's
full statutory accounts for that year. A copy of the statutory accounts for that
year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on
those accounts was unqualified; however it did include references to matters to
which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their
report. The auditors' report did not contain a statement under section
237(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 1985.
3 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the
period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the
period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted
average number of shares that would be issued on the conversion of dilutive
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The calculation of the dilutive
potential ordinary shares related to employee and director share option plans
and includes only those options with exercise prices below the average share
trading price for each period.
Where the company is loss making, a diluted loss per share is not presented
because the effect on the loss per share would be anti-dilutive. The calculation
of the diluted EPS assumes all criteria giving rise to the dilution of the EPS
are achieved and that all outstanding share options are exercised.

4 Post balance sheet events
On 21 January 2009, the Company executed an instrument constituting secured 12
per cent. convertible loan notes. due 2011 in the aggregate amount of US$9.875
million (the "Notes"). Tribeca Oil and Gas Financing, Inc. ("TOGF"), a
subsidiary of existing shareholder Tribeca Oil & Gas, Inc. ("TOGI"), agreed to
subscribe for US$4.875 million in aggregate of the Notes and had an option (but
was not obliged) to subscribe for up to a further US$5 million tranche in
aggregate of the Notes.
The first tranche of the Notes subscribed for by TOGF, if not repaid or
converted earlier, matures on 21 January 2011. The Notes accrue interest at a
rate of 12 per cent. per annum, payable at intervals of six months from the date
of issue, and at the Company's option can be redeemed in whole or in part prior
to maturity, without penalty, on any of the interest payment dates. Unless
converted, the Notes are redeemable immediately prior to any sale or de-listing
of the Company and repayable in the event of any default. At TOGF's option, the
Notes are convertible in whole into new ordinary shares in the Company
("Ordinary Shares") on any of the interest payment dates, in the event of early
redemption (in respect of the amount specified to be redeemed), on maturity or
on any instance of default, sale or de-listing of the Company. In the event of
conversion, the number of new Ordinary Shares to be issued to the noteholder
will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the relevant Notes by the
initial conversion price per Ordinary Share of 20.9375 pence (the "Initial
Conversion Price").
At its discretion, the Company is entitled to pay interest accruing on both
tranches of the Notes in the form of either cash or by the issue of new Ordinary
Shares. If interest is paid in the form of shares, the number of new Ordinary
Shares to be issued and allotted (credited as fully paid) to the noteholder will
be determined by dividing the amount of interest payable by the closing
middle-market price of an Ordinary Share on the business day immediately prior
to the relevant interest payment date converted from pounds sterling to US
dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate.
The Initial Conversion Price referred to above was less than the nominal value
of an Ordinary Share of US$0.50 (approximately 35 pence at the then prevailing
pounds sterling to US dollars exchange rate) at the time of issue. Accordingly,
since English company law prevents the Company from issuing new shares at a
price below the prevailing nominal value of its Ordinary Shares, the Company,
further to the receipt of shareholder approval on 23 June 2009, implemented a
capital reorganisation prior to the first interest payment date in order to
ensure that the nominal value of each Ordinary Share was reduced to an amount
sufficiently below the Initial Conversion Price.
Following discussions with TOGF, in respect of the Company's option to request
up to a further US$5 million note subscription by 21 July 2009 under the
existing facility, it was agreed on 16 June 2009 that this option would be
lapsed and replaced with an increased note subscription by TOGF of US$6.29
million. In return for the increased funding amount, the terms of the second
tranche of the convertible loan notes were varied to allow for conversion, in
whole or in part, into new ordinary shares at a fixed conversion price of 25
pence per share on any of the interest payment dates from December 2009 onwards.
Save for the variation in the amount, the first possible conversion date, and
the conversion price of the second tranche, all other terms of the original
convertible loan note instrument remained unaltered from those details announced
on 21 January 2009. Following the second subscription, TOGF currently holds an
aggregate principal amount of US$11.165 million of secured convertible 12 per
cent. loan notes due 2011.
Under the terms of the amended loan note instrument, the second tranche of notes
are not capable of conversion prior to the first six monthly interest payment
date on 17 December 2009 and, at the Company's option, can be redeemed in whole
or in part, without penalty, on any of the interest payment dates prior to their
scheduled maturity on the second anniversary from drawdown in 2011. Unless
converted, the notes are redeemable immediately prior to any sale or de-listing
of the Company and repayable in the event of any default. At TOGF's option, the
second tranche notes are convertible in whole into new ordinary shares on any of
the interest payment dates, in the event of early redemption and only after the
first interest payment date (in respect of the amount specified to be redeemed),
on maturity or on any instance of default, sale or de-listing of the Company. In
the event of conversion, the number of new ordinary shares to be issued to the
noteholder will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the relevant
notes by the revised second tranche conversion price per new ordinary share of
25 pence.
On 23 June 2009, a resolution to approve the reorganisation of the Ordinary
Shares in issue was passed in order to comply with the terms of the Loan Note
Instrument dated 21 January 2009, as amended on 16 June 2009, and reduce the
nominal value of an Ordinary Share to a more appropriate level such that the
outstanding convertible secured loan notes are then capable of conversion at the
noteholder's election. Pursuant to this resolution, inter alia, every Ordinary
Share of US$0.50 then in issue was converted into 1 (one) New Ordinary Share of
US$0.10 and 4 (four) New Deferred B Shares of US$0.10 each. To date, the first
tranche of the Notes have not been converted.
Under the terms of the Loan Note Instrument, the Company agreed to pay TOGF an
arrangement fee of US$300,000 in consideration for the subscription of the
Notes. In addition, the Company granted TOGF a warrant over Ordinary Shares
exercisable in whole or in part at an aggregate exercise price of US$300,000 on
any number of occasions throughout the term of the loan note instrument (the
"Warrant"). The exercise price payable by TOGF to the Company in respect of the
Warrant was to be set off against the arrangement fee owing by the Company to
TOGF pursuant to the Notes. In the event of exercise, the number of new Ordinary
Shares to be issued to the warrantholder was to be determined by dividing the
exercise price by the higher of (i) the middle market closing price of an
Ordinary Share on the date of the Warrant, as converted from pounds sterling to
US dollars at the then prevailing exchange rate, and (ii) the prevailing nominal
value of one Ordinary Share at the time of exercise of the Warrant. On 30 July
2009, PetroLatina issued and allotted (credited as fully paid) 1,226,329 new
ordinary shares of US$0.10 par value each (the "Warrant Shares") to TOGF
following the exercise of the warrants held by it pursuant to the agreement of
21 January 2009. The exercise price of US$300,000 payable by TOGF to the Company
in respect of the warrant exercise was set off in full against the
aforementioned arrangement fee owed by the Company to TOGF.
In addition, on 30 July 2009 the Company also issued and allotted (credited as
fully paid) a further 435,376 new ordinary shares of US$0.10 par value each (the
"Interest Shares") to TOGF in satisfaction of the first six monthly interest
installment to 21 July 2009 due in respect of the initial tranche of US$4.875
million convertible loan notes subscribed by TOGF on 21 January 2009.
Accordingly, TOGF was allotted, in aggregate, 1,661,705 new ordinary shares.
