Australia
Falcon completed the acquisition of Sweetpea Petroleum Pty Ltd's 24% minority
interest in its subsidiary Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Ltd ("Falcon Australia").
Falcon Australia is a subsidiary of Falcon and is the registered holder of four
exploration permits in the Beetaloo Basin, Northern Territory, Australia.
Following the completion of the share purchase, Falcon owns 200 million shares
in Falcon Australia representing 96.9% of the issued share capital of Falcon
Australia. Falcon is consolidating its interest in this high potential asset.
The extensive seismic program carried out and funded by Hess over the past two
years added to Falcon's confidence in the resource potential of this basin. In
addition Falcon is in the process of purchasing shares from certain of the
remaining shareholders in Falcon Australia.
Falcon has retained its interest the Beetaloo permits after Hess' request to
defer its drilling decision was rejected by the Falcon Board. Falcon regards the
Beetaloo Basin as a potential world class conventional and unconventional play
with significant oil and gas potential. Hess requested a one month extension to
allow them sufficient time to conclude a farm-out deal with a third party.
Falcon's rejection of their request and Hess's subsequent decision not to elect
by the agreed deadline was viewed by the Board of Falcon as an opportunity for
Falcon shareholders to increase their interest in what promises to be a basin
enhanced and de-risked by the new seismic data.
Hungary Drilling
Initial drilling operations on the Kutvolgy-1 well have ceased, the well having
reached total depth ("TD") of 3,305 metres. As expected, the top of the Algyo
formation was encountered at 2,985 metres; the well then penetrating an
alternating sequence of sandstones, siltstones and shales over a gross interval
of 320 metres to TD, with gas shows throughout. Two conventional cores have been
taken and extensive wireline logs were run. As planned the well has been cased
to TD and is now suspended while further technical evaluation is undertaken
prior to carrying out an appropriate testing programme later this year.
Admission to trading on AIM and ESM
In March 2013, Falcon was admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange and the ESM market of the Irish Stock Exchange of the Company's
existing share capital and the additional 120,381,973 new common shares in the
capital of the Company issued pursuant to the concurrent conditional brokered
private placing, at a price of GBP 0.14 (CDN$0.215) per share, raising gross
proceeds of $25.7 million (GBP 16.9 million).
Debt repayment
Falcon repaid the full amount outstanding on its Convertible Loan Note of
CDN$10.657 million. This repayment means that the Company is now completely debt
free.
Results for operating activities
The Group incurred a loss of US$3.2 million in the six months ended 30 June
2013, decreased from a loss of US$6.4 million in the six months ended 30 June
2012.
The Group's cash and cash equivalent balance at 30 June 2013 was US$14.7 million
(31 December 2012: US$2.9 million).
Philip O'Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:
"We have been extremely busy during the first half of 2013, successfully raising
US$25.7 million of new capital, achieving debt-free status and significantly
reducing our operating loss.
Our attention has now switched to securing a new farm-out on our acreage in
Australia, preparing for the testing of the Kutvolgy-1 well in Hungary and
working with Chevron under our Cooperation Agreement in South Africa. Based on
progress to-date on all of these fronts we expect the second half of 2013 to be
even busier."
