AGM chairman's address. Says the company has two rigs, is funded and is drilling three wildcats, with Malolos-1 junk drill-out due this month. Notes EP 453 results were disappointing. Largely repeats known plans.
Jacob-1 has been drilled to 108.5 m and surface casing run and cemented. Next step is installing blow-out preventers, then drilling on to the 300 m intermediate casing point. Planned total depth is 1,000-1,300 m.
September quarter: raised about $2m at 6.5c, Jacob-1 started drilling in October, and the Malolos-1 workover is pushed to early November. St Griede seismic is planned for Q1 2013, and three new French licence applications are being processed. Largely repeats earlier news.
October presentation shows 605m shares, a 10c price, a $60m market cap and $2.7m cash at 30 September. Repeats plans: Jacob-1 drilling underway, Malolos-1 flow test in the December quarter, France drilling mid-2013. Nothing materially new.
Jacob-1, the first of three back-to-back SC44 wildcats and the largest prospect at up to 50 million barrels, started drilling at 1930 hours EDST on 23 October. It was at 32 m the next day. This follows several months of delays.
Notice that Jacob-1 will start drilling on 23 October 2012. Surface casing is planned at about 100 m and intermediate casing at 300 m, with targets between 340 m and 1,000 m.
Jacob-1 spud is delayed again, now by customs clearance of essential equipment and well insurance. Rig-1 is being rigged up over Nuevo Malolos-1 to recover tubing for the Malolos-1 workover. No new date is given.
Rig-2 is rigged up at Jacob-1 but waiting on imported parts to clear customs. Spud is now expected by the end of September, and the Malolos-1 workover by month end. Jacob-1 is the largest prospect, at 50 million barrels potential.
2012 annual report. It records funds raised this year: option exercises of $1.45m and $1.93m, a $4.93m placement of 123.25m shares, and the $2.03m September placement. Repeats plans for three SC44 wells and the Malolos-1 workover, plus the DOE extension to 28 January 2014.

Raised $2.03m by placing 31.26m shares at $0.065, a 5.8% discount to the 10-day average price. It covers the shortfall after about 34.2m $0.05 options lapsed unexercised on 15 June, which would have raised about $1.71m. Funds go to SC44, St Griede and working capital.
What it means for a shareholder
31.3m new shares at A$0.065 to raise about A$2.0m. That's 5.4% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 5.4% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (15,385 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00283% to 0.00268% of the company. To keep it you'd need 884 more shares - about A$57 at the issue price.
Rig-2 maintenance is finished, with an open day on 1 September. Jacob-1 is expected to spud by the end of the second week of September, and the Malolos-1 workover now starts in September. Both slip again from earlier timings.
June quarter: DOE approved all three SC44 wells and extended the drilling deadline to 28 January 2014. Rig-2 arrived in Cebu in June; drilling now due September (slipped from August). Malolos-1 drill-out starts August. St Griede seismic interpretation finished.
The company's drilling rig has arrived in Cebu and is at the San Fernando yard for maintenance. First of the three exploration wells is still expected to spud in August. Brewster workover rig is still being upgraded.
Fact sheet repeats the August start for three SC44 wells using the Gardner-Denver rig and says farmout talks are progressing. Malolos-1 testing of six gas intervals is planned from July. Shows 528.3m shares and a $26m market cap. Nothing materially new.
June presentation shows 528.3m shares, a 5.0 cent price and $26m market capitalisation. Drilling is shown as August–October 2012 and Malolos-1 flow testing as July–August; France drilling in 2013. Mostly repeats known plans.
First SC44 exploration well now expected in August, slipping from July, due to what the company calls unavoidable shipping delays from Taiwan. Malolos-1 flow testing is expected to start in July once the workover rig upgrade is complete. Farmout talks continue.
The 35m shares to directors (cash subscription, about $1.4m at $0.04) were issued after shareholders approved them on 3 May. Completes the March raising; the notice covers 53.75m shares in total.
Notice to holders of 71.85m options at $0.05 expiring 15 June 2012. Full exercise would raise about $3.59m; directors and related parties say they intend to exercise theirs. Last price cited was $0.052.
March quarter: $2.4m raised at 4 cents (60m shares), plus $1.4m from directors pending a 3 May shareholder vote. Own rigs bought, Jacob-1 approved, drilling due July and Malolos-1 testing June/July. Largely repeats the same-day rig announcement and earlier placement news.
Company bought an 800 HP drilling rig (in Taiwan) and a Philippines workover rig after citing extensive delays and cost overruns with contractors. Jacob-1 has DOE approval and drilling is targeted for July. Farmout talks continue but are said not to affect timing.

Adds a $700,000 placement of 17.5m shares at $0.04, on top of the $3.1m (77.5m shares at $0.04) committed on 14 March from directors and investors. Funds go to SC44 drilling; shares on issue rise to about 473.6m.
What it means for a shareholder
17.5m new shares at A$0.040 to raise about A$700,000. That's 3.7% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.7% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (25,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00548% to 0.00528% of the company. To keep it you'd need 959 more shares - about A$38 at the issue price.
Company says Jacob-1, the first SC44 well, will be drilled before June 2012 without needing a farm-in partner, followed by Gumamela-1 and Ilang-1. Exercise of 71.85m $0.05 options is planned to fund it. Malolos-1 deeper testing will be combined with the drilling.
Half-year to 31 Dec 2011 restates known events: $1.45m raised from option exercises, Malolos-1 oil recovery with the main oil zone still blocked by junk, three SC44 wells planned for H1 2012, and St Griede now 100%. No new operating results in the text shown.
