DIVIDENDS

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Red Emperor Resources NL is a company limited by shares, which is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the Company during the financial year was oil and gas exploration and project identification.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Perth Basin, Western Australia

In December 2019, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Pilot Energy Limited (ASX: PGY) ("Pilot Energy") and Key Petroleum Limited (ASX: KEY) ("Key Petroleum") (together, the Joint Venture ("JV") partners) in order to secure an option to acquire a 70% operated interest in the offshore Perth Basin exploration permit, WA-481-P.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Red Emperor agreed to fund the completion of an existing committed work programme (comprising geological and geophysical studies) for the final year of the existing permit term, up to a capped amount of $150,000 which was completed on time and on budget. Contemporaneous with such work programme being completed, the existing JV partners, formally applied to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) for a renewal of the permit, which expired on 19 February 2020. Whilst the renewal application was successful and ultimately granted to the JV, the Board felt it prudent not to exercise the Company's option, which therefore expired on 5 June 2020.

Alaska North Slope

The Operator of ADL#s 391718, 391719, 319720 & 391721 (collectively, the "Western Blocks"), namely 88 Energy Limited (ASX/AIM: 88E), on behalf of the JV, held discussions with the relevant regulatory authorities in Alaska in relation to seeking relief on the rentals due on 1 May 2020. Unfortunately, such discussions were unsuccessful and as a result the Western Blocks were relinquished by the JV during the quarter ended 30 June 2020.

Philippines (SC 55)

On 26 August 2019, the 4-month extension to the moratorium period granted by the Philippine's Department of Energy ("DoE") expired. The Joint Venture then sought to enter into Sub-Phase 5 which required further, significant expenditure including the commitment to drill an exploration well in 2020. The Board decided that this was not the optimum use of shareholder funds and as a result, during Q4 2019, the Company advised the operator, Palawan55 Exploration and Production Corporation, of its intention to withdraw from the Joint Venture. The Company's equity interest was subsequently re-assigned to its Joint Venture partners.

Corporate

In August 2019, Mr. Gracjan Lambert, Chief Executive Officer, resigned from the Company.

Red Emperor retained the services of Mr. John Begg on a part-time basis to assist with introducing and reviewing business opportunities. John is an expert, upstream oil and gas project generator and deal closer. With decades of experience in equity capital markets, John is an industry-leading geoscientist who has lived and worked with consistently high business impact in Australia, developing SE Asian countries, the UK, Middle East and the USA.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year, other than as set out in this report.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

On 10 August 2020, the Company announced that, pursuant to the relinquishment of the Western Blocks on the North Slope, Alaska, as announced on 24 July 2020, the Company had become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell.

As an AIM Rule 15 cash shell, the Company is required to make an acquisition, or acquisitions, which constitute(s) a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14, or alternatively seek re-admission to trading on AIM as an investing company pursuant to AIM Rule 8, within six months from 21 July 2020, failing which the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended from trading on AIM pursuant to AIM Rule 40 and cancelled from admission to trading on AIM if such a transaction has not been completed within a further six month period thereafter.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

There have been no other significant events subsequent to the end of the financial year to the date of this report.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Group remains committed to identifying suitable assets for listing purposes. The Group intends to pursue acquisition and investment opportunities to secure new assets in accordance with its outlined strategic philosophy.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE

The Group operates within the resources sector and conducts its business activities with respect for the environment while continuing to meet the expectations of its shareholders, employees and suppliers. The Group aims to ensure that the highest standard of environmental care is achieved, and that it complies with all relevant environmental legislation.

The Group has no current reporting obligations under the Natural Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 due to all operations during the year occurring overseas. The Directors are mindful of the regulatory regime in relation to the impact of its organisational activities on the environment. There have been no known breaches by the Group during the year.

SHARE OPTIONS

As at the date of this report, there were 32,000,000 unissued ordinary shares under options. Details of the options are as follows:

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company has entered into an agreement indemnifying all the Directors and officers of the Company against all losses or liabilities incurred by each Director or officer in their capacity as Directors or officers of the Company to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The indemnification specifically excludes wilful acts of negligence.

The Company paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance contracts for current officers of the Company, including officers of the Company's controlled entities. The liabilities insured are damages and legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Group.

DIRECTORS' MEETINGS

During the financial year, in addition to regular Board discussions, the Directors met regularly to discuss all matters associated with investment strategy, review of opportunities, and other Company matters on an informal basis. The regular nature of these meetings is facilitated through the sharing of office space along with Max Capital Pty Ltd, Red Emperor's Corporate Advisor. Circular resolutions were passed as necessary to execute formal Board decisions.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of Red Emperor Resources NL support and have adhered to the principles of sound corporate governance. The Board recognises the recommendations of the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council, and considers that Red Emperor complies to the extent possible with those guidelines, which are of importance to the commercial operation of a junior listed resources company.

During the financial year, shareholders continued to receive the benefit of an efficient and cost-effective corporate governance policy for the Company.
