Attis Oil & Gas ("Attis" or "the Company")

Interim Results

Attis (AIM: AOGL) is pleased to announce its unaudited interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Chairman's Statement

In line with its stated strategy as announced on 2 January 2020, the Company commenced its asset sale programme.

The Company announced on 1 February 2020 that it had sold its interest in the Bivins 115 Lease in the Red Cave formation in the Texas Panhandle for a consideration of US$50,000 paid in cash. The Company acquired the Bivins 115 Lease in October 2019 for a consideration of US$23,000.

The Company announced on 12 May 202 that it had disposed of its subsidiary company, Northcote Cleveland LLC, which held the Zink Ranch lease, for a consideration of $250,000 payable in cash in 5 monthly instalments. Mr Paolo Amoruso, Executive Chairman of the Company participated in this sale acquiring a 20% interest in Northcote Cleveland LLC. The Company further announced the disposal of its interests in the Fort Worth field for a nominal amount and the relinquishment of the bond associated with the field for the assumption by the acquiror of the plugging and abandonment ("P&A") and tax liabilities associated with the 98 wells on the field.

On 28 May 2020, the Company announced that it had raised GBP600,000 via a placing of ordinary shares in the Company for cash at 0.0115 pence per share ("Placing"). At the same time, Holders of the Bridge Loan facility (announced on 22 October 2019) were offered the opportunity to convert their outstanding Loan and interest into Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of 0.0075 pence and a re-pricing of the warrants attached to the loan to 0.015 pence per share. Holders of GBP370,543.14 (principal plus accrued interest) of the Bridge Loan elected to convert and therefore the Company issued 4,940,575,180 Ordinary Shares at 0.0075 pence per share. The remaining Bridge Loan Holders holding GBP74,846.51 in principal and accrued interest were repaid from the proceeds of the Placing.

Post period end the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Mayan Energy USA, LLC (the company that held the Austin Field assets) and Attis Operating I, Inc. to Esparza Energy Holdings LLC for a net consideration of $193,000 payable in monthly instalments equal to 50% of the gross revenue generated from oil and gas sales over a period no longer than 36 months. Any amount not paid at the end of the term is owed as a lump sum to the Company. Northcote Energy USA Inc. will retain a security interest in the wells and the production from the wells until the consideration is p aid. On 5 August 2020 shareholders approved the sale of the Austin Field Assets at a General Meeting of Shareholders.

Following disposal of the Austin Field Assets, the Company became an AIM Rule 15 cash shell and as such will be required to make an acquisition, or acquisitions, which constitutes a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 on or before 5 February 2021 failing which, the Company's Ordinary Shares would then be suspended from trading on AIM pursuant to AIM Rule 40. Admission to trading on AIM would be cancelled six months from the date of suspension should the reason for the suspension not have been rectified.

The Company is now actively seeking a transaction with the ability to increase value for shareholders and the Board is actively reviewing opportunities.

The key financial risks are market risk, including currency risk, credit risk and liquidity.

   3.         Loss per share

As referred to in Note 6 below, the Company has issued options. However, based upon current share prices they presently have no value and accordingly would not be exercised, hence basic and diluted profit per share are the same. Historically the Company has reported losses, in such a situation the inclusion of potential ordinary shares would have resulted in a decrease in the loss per share, and as such, their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, a historic diluted loss per share has not been calculated or included.

   4.         Borrowings 

Borrowings consists of US$69,034 received during the period under the United States Government's Paycheck Protection Program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan can be converted into a grant at the election of the Company as long as at least 60% of the amount is applied to payroll expenditure and there is no reduction in employee headcount.

   5.         Share capital
