Interim Results for the period ended 30(th) September 2014
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present Xplorer plc's interim accounts for the
six months ended 30(th) September 2014; a period of continuing good
progress.
We have reached commercial agreement with two companies for
potential acquisition by Xplorer. In order to ensure that those
companies have necessary finance in place for future operations, we
are working with the companies to raise funding ahead of initiating
any formal acquisition process.
Notwithstanding the current challenging oil price environment,
we expect to be in a position to update shareholders shortly.
Roger Tucker
Chairman

Notes to the interim financial information
1. Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Preparation
These interim consolidated financial statements are for the six
months ended 30 September 2014 and have been prepared in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial
Statements". The accounting policies applied are consistent with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted for use
by the European Union. The accounting policies and methods of
computation used in the interim consolidated financial statements
are consistent with those used in the Company's Annual Report for
2014 and are expected to be applied for the year ended 31 March
2015. The operations of Xplorer Plc are not affected by seasonal
variations.
These financial statements were approved by the Board on 28(th)
November 2014.
b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Management have considered the significant accounting
judgements, estimates and assumptions used within the non-statutory
financial statements and do not consider there to be any which
would materially affect the financial statements.
c) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Company's
statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Company currently
does not use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge
financial exposures or liabilities.
d) Segmental Reporting
For the purpose of IFRS8 the chief operating decision ("CODM")
maker takes the form of the Directors. The Directors are of the
opinion that the business comprises of a single economic activity,
being the acquisition of businesses or assets in the natural
resources sector and the currently this activity is undertaken
solely in the United Kingdom. All of the income and non-current
assets are derived from the United Kingdom. No single customer
accounts for more than 10% of income. At meetings of the Directors,
income, expenditure, cash flows, assets and liabilities are
reviewed on a whole Company basis. Based on the above
considerations there is considered to be one reportable segment
only namely the acquisition of businesses or asset in the Natural
Resources Sector.
Therefore the financial information of the single segment to the
same as that set out in the company statement of comprehensive
income, company statement of financial position, the company
statement of changes to equity and the company statement of
cashflows.
e) Dividends
The Directors do not propose a dividend in respect of the period
ended 30 September 2014 (Year end 31st March 2014: nil).
f) Going Concern
The Directors having made due and careful enquiry, are of the
opinion that the Group has adequate working capital to execute its
operations over the next 12 months. The Directors therefore have
made an informed judgment, at the time of approving financial
statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have adopted the
going concern basis of accounting is in the preparation of the
annual financial statements.
