Although Loyz is a relatively young player in the upstream sector, we have already demonstrated that we have the vision, the drive and the technical expertise to successfully execute our agenda, marking fresh breakthroughs in growth every year.
In less than five years, we successfully secured a well-balanced portfolio of producing and exploration assets. We have never lost our focus on drawing cash flow from our wells, and our latest acquisition in Thailand has begun to deliver returns. Our ability to gauge and manage risks, to marshal every resource at hand, as we choose our concessions and execute our projects, will see us mark new turning points as we ramp up production of existing assets and seek out other promising acquisitions that will broaden our earnings stream.

Singapore-grown Loyz Energy Limited (Loyz or the Company or the Group) is fast establishing itself as an independent exploration and production (E&P) energy company in the Asia-Pacific.
Loyz is working to build a balanced portfolio of prime, producing oil and gas concessions, which will generate a steady earnings stream to gird up its balance sheet, as well as exploration assets that will drive long-term growth. In addition, Loyz will seek drilling partnerships to reduce risks at the exploration and development stages.
The Group has begun to acquire producing assets. In April, it purchased a 20% stake in three producing concessions in Thailand. It intends to selectively add more such assets, as the ensuing cashflows will enable Loyz to step up the pace of development at its concessions in the US and the Asia-Pacific.
Within its balanced portfolio, Loyz, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Loyz Oil Pte Ltd, also owns two petroleum exploration permits (PEPs) – one for New Zealand’s Taranaki Basin and the other for an area off the coast of Victoria in Australia – and a petroleum service contract for Area 14 in the East Palawan Basin, off the Philippines.

Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to report that Loyz took a stride forward towards becoming a reputable independent upstream energy company in the Asia-Pacific when we acquired our first oil producing concessions in Thailand - the key earnings driver for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 (FY2014).
Last year also saw us rationalise our investment in the US by taking a direct 20% stake in Fram Exploration ASA (Fram) in June 2014. This replaces the previous exploration-and -production agreement we had with Fram, who owns onshore concessions in the resource rich regions of North Dakota and Colorado, US, which cover approximately 60,000 acres (243 sq km).
These steps to capture growth opportunities for the Group were well supported by investors and financial institutions.
Our Performance in FY2014
Backed by maiden sales of crude oil from the recently acquired 20%-owned Thailand concessions, the Group stepped into the black in the fourth quarter of FY2014 (4QFY2014), posting an EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and exploratory expenses) of S$5.8 million and a net profit attributable to owners of the parent of S$0.8 million. Revenue for 4QFY2014 increased to S$8.6 million from S$1.3 million in 4QFY2013.
For FY2014, the Group’s turnover surged to S$20.7 million due largely to the sale of crude oil from the Thailand concessions and drilling revenue in the United States. However, higher administrative and other expenses as well as finance costs arising from the expansion of the Group’s operations dampened our profitability and we incurred a net loss of S$4.7 million in FY2014.
Marking Growth in Our Operations
The earnings breakthrough we achieved in 4QFY2014 affirms that we are on the right track of attaining our goal of growing a steady income stream from the sale of hydrocarbons.
Over the short to medium term, we will mark our growth by stepping up production, especially at our Thailand concessions, and acquiring strategic producing assets in good fiscal regimes to boost our cashflows and recurrent income stream.
While we have achieved first oil in the US producing at about 50 barrels of oil per day (bopd) in December 2013, our three onshore concessions in Thailand account for the bulk of the Group’s production, delivering about 4,400 bopd (100% share). We are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to lift the production from Thailand to 5,000 bopd in the coming months. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect our operational cashflow or EBITDAX to remain positive.
Even as we take steps to ramp up production and improve cashflows, we will also continue to review our concessions portfolio to ensure the best use of our resources. In this respect, we entered a binding memorandum of understanding with Enso Oil & Gas Limited, a Hong Kong-based oil and gas company, which has proposed to invest in our 51.8%-owned subsidiary, Interlink Petroleum Limited.
Marking Growth with Our Board
To spearhead our growth plans, the Group is pleased to welcome Mr Lien Jown Jing Vincent, a respected veteran in the financial industry as Loyz’s Non-Executive Chairman. Mr Lien brings with him more than two decades of experience in banking and other areas, with particular expertise in corporate finance and capital management as well as intimate knowledge

of markets in Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China and across South-east Asia. Mr Lien has been working closely with our management team since November 2013.
We would also like to welcome Mr Simon Lockett, a renowned upstream energy industry veteran, who joined us recently as an adviser to the board of directors (Board) of Loyz. Previously the chief executive officer of Premier Oil Plc (Premier), a leading oil and gas exploration and production company listed on the London Stock Exchange, Mr Lockett was instrumental in boosting Premier’s production, reserves and resources as well as operating cash flows during his tenure. With his extensive experience and network in the industry, we believe Mr Lockett’s contribution as an adviser will be invaluable as we chart our next development phase.
Acknowledgments and Appreciation
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mr Sim Siang Choon, who retired as Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Group, as well as Mr Kwan Weng Kwong, who stepped down as Non-Executive Director of Loyz, for their unwavering devotion and invaluable contributions to the Group.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend our management and staff for their dedication and commitment to the Group.
To our shareholders and business partners, thank you for your long-standing faith in our ability to deliver growth and become an established oil and gas producer. I look forward to your continued support in the current financial year as the Group progresses to achieve its next mark.

Overview of FY2014
The financial year ended 30 June 2014 (FY2014) represented yet another crucial juncture for Loyz Energy Limited as our efforts to ramp up oil production saw a breakthrough that significantly improved our fourth quarter earnings.
Our perseverance and diligence in delivering favourable returns also gained us strong support from institutional and high net worth investors as well as financial institutions. Based on the progress made in FY2014, we believe we are on the right track to achieve accelerated growth, advancing our efforts to become a reputable upstream energy company in the Asia-Pacific.
Revenue, EBITDAX
The Group ended FY2014 on a high note as it stepped into the black in the fourth quarter (4Q FY2014) with S$5.8 million in EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and exploratory expenses) and S$0.8 million in net profit attributable to owners of the parent, after having generated revenue of S$8.6 million.
This performance was driven mainly by maiden sales of 75,281 barrels of crude oil (3 months sales) from the Group’s 20% share of the three concessions in Thailand, which were acquired in April 2014. This strong contribution enabled Loyz to achieve S$3.7 million in net cash generated from operating activities for 4Q FY2014, against S$0.3 million previously.
For FY2014, the Group reported revenue of S$20.7 million, far outpacing the S$1.3 million seen in FY2013. The surge in revenue was due mainly to the sale of crude oil from Loyz’s Thailand concessions and drilling revenue from the United States. However, higher administrative and other expenses arising from the expansion of Loyz’s operations eroded overall profitability. As a result, the Group posted a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of S$4.7 million for FY2014.

Balance Sheet
The Group continues to seek out assets that will enhance its portfolio by generating a steady earnings stream and driving long-term growth. In line with this strategy, we invested US$65 million to take up a 20% stake in our first producing concessions, located in Thailand, in April 2014. The striking results achieved in 4Q FY2014 demonstrate the acuity of this move.
For FY2014, the Group’s total assets doubled to S$250.6 million, thanks to the three Thailand concessions – SW1, L44/43 and L33/43 – as well as its recent investment in Fram Exploration ASA (Fram), which owns concessions in the resource-rich plains of Colorado and North Dakota, US.
The Group ended the year with shareholders’ funds of S$86.1 million, an increase of 23% over the S$69.9 million in net equity posted as at 30 June 2013.
Support from Investors and Financial Institutions
As we continued to pursue our goal of becoming a compelling player in the exploration and production (E&P) segment, our efforts were bolstered by the extensive investor support we received. The issue of 50 million new ordinary shares in FY2014 was mainly taken up by institutional and high net worth investors, which raised net proceeds of S$17.5 million.
Staunch support from the banks was also pivotal to our expansion plans. As at 30 June 2014, the Group’s total bank borrowings stood at S$71.2 million, a substantial portion of which was used to finance the acquisition of the Thailand concessions.

Concessions Update – Thailand, US and India
We are very encouraged by the quality and output of our oil-producing concessions in Thailand, the key earnings driver for the Group in FY2014. From an initial production rate of approximately 1,200 -1,400 barrels of oil per day (bopd), the three concessions are currently producing at approximately 4,400 bopd (100% share). Barring any unforeseen circumstances, based on the field development plans of the operators, ECO Orient Energy (Thailand) Ltd and ECO Orient Resources (Thailand) Ltd, we expect the production rate to increase to approximately 5,000 bopd within the next few months. The fields will be further developed to ramp up production over the next few years as more wells are drilled and completed.
After reviewing ways to utilise its resources more effectively, the Group entered into two separate agreements for its Indian and US concessions.
For India, Loyz signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Enso Oil & Gas Limited in June 2014 in relation to Enso’s proposal to invest in the Group’s 51.8%-owned subsidiary, Interlink Petroleum Limited (IPL). Enso, a Hong Kong-based oil and gas (O&G) company, will in turn recommend suitable E&P assets for IPL to acquire in the Irkutsk region of Russia. IPL currently owns two onshore O&G concessions in Gujarat.
For the US, the Group acquired a 20% stake in Fram for US$41.4 million pursuant to which, Loyz terminated its previous participation-and-exploration agreement (2012) with Fram. As a shareholder of Fram, Loyz is better able to align its interests with Fram’s and exploit opportunities to share expertise and resources.
Marking Growth
Our next phase of growth promises to be an exciting one, as we continue to develop existing assets and add strategic producing assets in stable fiscal regimes that will take us ever closer to the goals we have set.

US – Colorado & North Dakota
Loyz now owns a 20% interest in Fram Exploration ASA (Fram), whose exploration and production concessions are located in the resource-rich plains of Colorado and North Dakota, US.
The Group achieved first oil production in the US at the end of 2013, with the Schlak 3 well located in North Dakota’s Williston Basin reaching a stable early production of 50-60 bopd. Two exploration wells have since been drilled in Williston Basin, one of which was identified as a potential producer. At Colorado’s Whitewater area, testing work is still ongoing in the Mansur 33-1-N and Mansur 33-1-L wells.
Thailand – Phetchabun Basin
The Phetchabun Basin is a highly prolific onshore basin located about 300km north of Bangkok, Thailand. Loyz holds a 20% interest each in three producing concessions – SW1, L44/43 and L33/43, which lie within the basin.
The Group, together with its partners, Carnavon Thailand Limited, a subsidiary of an ASX-listed exploration and production company, as well as ECO Orient Energy (Thailand) Ltd and ECO Orient Resources (Thailand) Ltd, have put in place a drilling programme for 15 wells for these concessions.
Loyz expects five to several new wells to be drilled in the coming months which should significantly increase daily production. Approximately half of the planned wells will be drilled at the L33/43 concession, based on the interpretation of the latest 3D seismic data gathered. The remaining wells will be drilled at the neighbouring L44/43 concession using the existing 3D seismic data. New 3D seismic data with respect to the L44/43 concession will also be acquired in late 2014.
Currently, these concessions are producing at a combined rate of around 4,400 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects production to rise to 5,000 bopd within the next few months.

n Overview
New Zealand – Taranaki Basin
Loyz owns 100% interest in PEP 38479, a 411 sq km area within the Awakino section of the basin located at New Zealand’s North Island.
Through the ongoing interpretation of new and reprocessed 3D seismic data covering an area of about 300 sq km, the Group has been able to identify several potential drilling locations in FY2014. A detailed study including cost estimate for the drilling of a well in 2015 has been completed and the Group has commenced the work programme for the well.
The Philippines – Area 14
Loyz won the bid for Area 14, located in East Palawan Basin off the shores of the Philippines in 2013. Upon receiving the final and formal award for this concession, the Group will work with the authorities to finalise and execute the petroleum service contract for Area 14.
Currently, no QPR has been prepared for this concession as it is in early stage of exploration.
India – Cambay Basin
The Group owns two onshore Indian concessions through its Bombay-listed subsidiary, Interlink Petroleum Limited (IPL). The 51.8%-owned subsidiary has production-sharing contracts with the Indian government for both the Baola and Modhera fields, where tests are still being carried out to identify prospective oil and gas properties. These fields are located in the highly prospective Cambay Basin of Gujarat state.
Australia – Torquay Sub-Basin
The Group holds a 70% working interest in VIC/P62, a petroleum exploration permit (PEP) which allows it to explore off the coast of Victoria.
During the year, Loyz completed the processing and interpretation of the 3D seismic data covering an area of 245 sq km. As a result, additional working interest was earned under the farm-in agreement with Trident Energy Limited. The Group applied to the Australian authorities for a five-year extension to the permit so that it can conduct further geological and geophysical studies and drill a well by end of 2017.

We have also been engaging the community and the relevant conservation authorities in constructive discussions and have established a good and open working relationship with them. This is an example of Loyz’s commitment to engage in sustainable development in all jurisdictions we operate in.
At Loyz, we believe that a successful corporation is founded not only on its business achievements, but also on the role it plays in the community and in conserving the environment. Moving forward, we will work towards securing certification and accreditation of certain components of our sustainability polices such as i) the health and safety of our employees, ii) the protection of our stakeholders and iii) the protection of the environment as well as achieving ISO and OHAS certification for our Group.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilitieswere disposed of.

2.14 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss if the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as such upon initial recognition. The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
The accounting policies adopted for other financial liabilities are set out below:
(i) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at cost which represents the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future, less transaction cost, for goods received or services rendered, whether or not billed totheGroupandtheCompany,andaresubsequentlymeasuredatamortisedcostusingtheeffectiveinterestmethod.
(ii) Bankborrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Bank borrowings aresubsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between theproceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings which are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are presented as current borrowings even though the original term was for a period longer than 12 months and an agreement to refinance or to reschedule payments on a long-term basis is completed after the end of the reporting period andbeforethefinancialstatementsareauthorisedforissue.Otherborrowingsduetobesettledmorethan12 months after the end of the reporting period are presented as non-current borrowings in the statements of financial position.
(iii) Convertible preference shares
When convertible preference shares are issued, the liability component and the equity component areseparately presented on the statements of financial position. Convertible preference shares are classified as a liability if these are redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the preference shareholder, or if dividend payments arenotdiscretionary.The liability component is recognisedat its fair valueand is subsequentlycarried at amortised cost until the liability is extinguishedon conversionor redemptionof thepreferenceshares.Dividendsthereonarerecognisedasinterestexpenseinprofitorlossasaccrued.

Consideration is also given to the currency of the cost of operations in determining the functional currency of Group entities that which have not generated revenues. The functional currencies of the entities in the Group are determined based on management’s assessment of the economic environment in which the entities operate and the entities’ process of determining sales prices and cost of operations.
(ii) Hydrocarbon reserve and resource estimates
Oilandgasproductionpropertiesaredepreciatedonaunit-of-productionmethodbyreferencetotheratioofproduction in the period and the related commercial reserve of the field. The Group estimates its commercial reservesbasedon information compiledbyappropriatelyqualifiedpersons relating to thegeological andtechnicaldataonthesize,depth,shapeandgradeofthehydrocarbonbodyandsuitableproductiontechniquesand recovery rates. Commercial reserves are determined using estimates of oil and gas in place, recovery factors and future oil prices. Future development costs are estimated using assumptions as to number of wells requiredtoproducethecommercialreserves,thecostofsuchwellsandassociatedproductionfacilities,andother capital costs.
As the economic assumptions used may change and as additional geological information is obtained during theoperationofafield,estimatesofrecoverablereservesmaychange.SuchchangesmayimpacttheGroup’sreported financial position and results, which include:
