Borders & Southern Petroleum plc
("Borders & Southern" or "the Company")
Unaudited Results for the six-month period ended 30 June
2021
Borders & Southern Petroleum plc (AIM: BOR) announces its
unaudited half year financial statements for the six months to 30
June 2021. The accounts contained within this report represent the
consolidation of Borders & Southern Petroleum plc and its
subsidiary, Borders & Southern Falkland Islands Limited.
Highlights
-- An application to extend the current phase of the Falkland Islands licences has been submitted
-- Operating loss for the period was $446,000 (2020: $721,000)
-- Cash balance on 30 June 2021 was $1.35 million (30 June 2020: $2.56 million)
Chief Executive's Statement
The current phase of the Company's Falkland Islands Production
Licences (PL018, PL019, PL020) and its Discovery Area Licence are
due to expire at the end of January 2022. An application has been
submitted to the Falkland Islands Executive Council requesting an
extension to all licences. As part of the approval process the
Company will have to demonstrate that it can meet its financial
obligations under the terms of the licences.
For the six-month reporting period up until 30 June 2021,
Borders & Southern incurred a loss from operations of $446,000
(loss for the same period in 2020 was $721,000). Administrative
expenses were $546,000 (2020: $579,000). The cash balance at 30
June 2021 was $1.35 million compared with a balance of $2.56
million at 30 June 2020. The Company has no debt.
Given the decreasing cash balance, it is likely that additional
funds will be sought before the end of January 2022 in order to
meet licence and working capital needs and in order to meet the
"going concern" tests of the 2021 year-end audit.
During the last six months the Company has undertaken a
re-marketing initiative to attract partners. This work is in
progress. We have always emphasised the outstanding sub-surface
characteristics of the project, the quality of the reservoir and
its exceptional imaging, but to support the current farmout,
technical work has focused on defining different development
options, early production possibilities and minimising the
environmental impact of a development.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2021
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared using the recognition and measurement
principles of International Accounting Standards, International
Reporting Standards and Interpretations as applied in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. The Group has not
elected to comply with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as
permitted. The principal accounting policies used in preparing the
interim financial statements are unchanged from those disclosed in
the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 and
are expected to be consistent with those policies that will be in
effect at the year end.
The condensed financial statements for the six months ended 30
June 2021 and 30 June 2020 are unreviewed and unaudited. The
comparative financial information does not constitute statutory
financial statements as defined by Section 435 of the Companies Act
2006. The comparative financial information for the year ended 31
December 2020 is not the company's full statutory accounts for that
period. A copy of those statutory financial statements has been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on
those accounts was unqualified and did include references to any
matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis
relating to going concern without qualifying their report and did
not contain a statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies
Act 2006.
For the six-month reporting period up until 30 June 2021,
Borders & Southern had a loss from operations of $446,000 (a
loss for the same period in 2020 was $721,000). Administrative
expenses were $546,000 (2020: $579,000). The cash balance at the 30
June 2021 was $1.35 million compared with a balance of $2.56
million at 30 June 2020. The Company has no debt.
Given the decreasing cash balance it is likely that additional
funds will be sought before the end of January 2022 in order to
meet licence and working capital needs and in order to meet the
"going concern" tests of the 2021 year-end audit.
2. LoSS per share
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period. Diluted loss
per share is not stated as the result would be ant-dilutive given
the loss in the period.

4. Going Concern
The Company regularly assesses its liquidity and available funds
to ensure that it has sufficient funds available to cover costs for
at least the following 12 months. This remained the case at 30 June
2021, however, as noted above, the Company intends to secure
additional funds by the end of January 2022 in order to continue
operations as normal.
