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

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.

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.

Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of presentation

been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going
concern basis and in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations adopted for use in
the European Union ("IFRS").
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements
contained in this document do not constitute statutory accounts,
for the current reporting period, or for earlier periods, but are
derived from those accounts where applicable. In the opinion of the
directors, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
fairly present the financial position, result of operations and
cash flows for the period.
A copy of this Interim Financial Report is available on the
Company's website: www.attisog.com and was approved by the Board of
Directors on 29 October 2020.
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the AIM Rules
for Companies. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt
IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing these interim
condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which should
be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
Accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the
period ended 30 June 2020 has not been audited or reviewed in
accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements
2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. The figures were
prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices

statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
2. Financial risk management and financial instruments
Risks and uncertainties
The Board continually assesses and monitors the key risks of the
business. The key risks that could affect Attis' medium term
performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not
substantially changed from those set out in Attis' 2019 Annual
Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available from
Attis' website. The key financial risks are market risk, including
currency risk, credit risk and liquidity.
3. Loss per share

attributable to equity holders divided by the weighted average
number of shares on issue during the period.

Earnings per share (cents) (0.00) (0.04) (0.17)
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.
