LEYSHON ENERGY LIMITED
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
COMPLETION OF DEMERGER
Following the Leyshon Resources Limited ("Leyshon Resources")
shareholder approval for the demerger on 13 January 2014, the
demerger restructure was completed on 23 January 2014. The Company
commenced trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on
the same day.
The restructure was achieved through the demerger of the Leyshon
Resources' energy assets, including Leyshon Resources interests in
the Zijinshan Gas Project along with the transfer of cash reserves
of approximately US$32 million (after various project, corporate
restructure expenses, were settled) into the Company.
The Board believes that the demerger provides a strategic
opportunity to develop the Company as a stand-alone Group which
can, inter alia, continue to explore and commercialise the
Zijinshan Gas Project, and should enable a more transparent market
value to be placed on the Zijinshan Gas Project.
The Company has been actively pursuing a number of acquisition
and investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector in
China.
There are a number of divestment processes underway for assets
in the region for which the Company has made significant progress
in advancing its interest in the normal course of business. A
number of these discussions are in hand. There is no indication
whether this will lead to a commercially binding transaction.
The Company remains very active on the acquisition front and is
pleased at the strong financial support it has received for the
potential acquisitions the Company is working on.

ZIJINSHAN ("ZJS") OPERATIONS
The following information is presented to provide shareholders
of the Group with an update on the activities during the period
relating to the assets which are owned by the Group following the
demerger transaction.
The drilling of well ZJS7, at a location approximately three
kilometres to the northeast of well ZJS5, has been completed in
year 2013. The well has a design depth of approximately 2,100
metres and is targeting the same potential pay zones as those
intersected in well ZJS5.
On 8 July 2014, the Company announced its wholly owned
subsidiary, Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited (PAPL) has commenced the
interim testing programme.
The partners have also committed to drilling well ZJS8 in the
northern part of the licence area the location of which will take
into account the results from well ZJS7 as well as offset data. The
interim testing programme has an estimated cost of around US$4
million and, depending on the timing and results from Well ZJS8, is
expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 30 June 2014
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
As this is the first period of reporting for the Company since
the demerger referred to earlier as the head of a consolidated
group, this is the first period in which consolidated financial
statements have been prepared. The key accounting policies for the
consolidated group are therefore presented below.
Leyshon Energy Limited (the "Company") is an energy focused
company incorporated in British Virgin Islands on 27 March 2013.
The registered office of the Company is located at PO Box 957,
Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin
Islands. Its principal place of business is located at Suite 4,
21st Floor, Tower B, Ping An International Financial Center, No.3
Xinyuan South Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100027, People's
Republic of China ("PRC").
The Company and the Company's prior parent company, Leyshon
Resources Limited, ("Leyshon Resources") implemented a corporate
restructure ( "demerger") during the period ended 31 December 2013.
Leyshon Resources shareholder approval for the demerger was granted
on 13 January 2014 and the restructure was completed on 23 January
2014. The Company commenced trading on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange on the same day.
The restructure was achieved through the demerger of the Leyshon
Resources' energy assets, including Leyshon Resources interests in
the Zijinshan Gas Project along with cash reserves of approximately
US$33 million (after settlement of various project, corporate
restructure expenses).
The principal activities of the Company's subsidiary acquired
are oil and gas exploitation and related business.
2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). The Company's
unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going
concern basis under the historical cost convention except where an
IFRS requires an alternative treatment (such as fair values) as
disclosed where appropriate in these financial statements.
2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial information set out in this interim report does
not constitute statutory accounting. The figures for the period
ended 31 December 2013 have been extracted from the statutory EU
financial statements subsequent events note prepared under IFRS as
adopted by the European Union. These figures were prepared using
the accounting policies described in note 2.4 of the 2013 annual
report.
The Company maintains its books and prepares its statutory
financial statements in accordance with the relevant accounting
principles and financial regulations promulgated by the laws and
regulations of the British Virgin Islands. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union requires
Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of any revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
These financial statements have been presented in United States
dollars ("US$"), rounded to the nearest dollar, which is the
Company's functional and the Group's presentational currency.
The Directors are in the process of assessing the impact of the
new standards, amendments to existing statements and
interpretations in order to determine the impact on the Group.
Based on the Director's assessment so far, the effect of the
changes is considered likely to affect disclosure only.
2.3 FINANCIAL REPORTING PERIOD
The consolidated interim financial statements for the period 1
January 2014 to 30 June 2014 are unaudited and have not been
reviewed in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (ISRE) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'.
The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2014 was approved by the Board for issue on 4
September 2014. In the opinion of the Directors the interim
financial information for the period presents fairly the financial
position, and results from operations and cash flows for the period
in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. The consolidated interim financial
information incorporates comparative figures for the audited
financial period to 31 December 2013, extracted from note 12 of the
Company's financial statements.
The comparatives for the period ended 31 December 2013 are not
the Company's full statutory accounts for that year. Statutory
accounts for the period ended 31 December 2013 were approved by the
Board of Directors on 30 April 2014.The auditors' report on those
accounts was unqualified and, did not include references to any
matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis
without qualifying their report.
2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of merger accounting
The acquisition of Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited in the period
was accounted for in accordance with the principles of merger
accounting since the transaction was under common control and
therefore falls outside the scope of IFRS3 "Business
Combinations".
Basis of consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary
(collectively referred to as the "Group") for the period ended 30
June 2014. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared
for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent
accounting policies. The results of subsidiary are consolidated
from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date
that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions,
unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions
and dividends are eliminated on consolidation in full.
Total comprehensive income within a subsidiary is attributed to
the non-controlling interest even if it results in a deficit
balance.
Investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, or as
derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective
hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of
its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets
are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus
transaction costs, except in the case of financial assets recorded
at fair value through profit or loss. All financial assets are
considered to be loans and receivables for the purposes of IAS 39
classification.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their
classification as follows:
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method
less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included
in other income in the income statement. The loss arising from
impairment is recognised in profit or loss in finance costs for
loans and in other expensesfor receivables.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial
asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when:
-- the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
-- the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows
from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received
cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
"pass-through" arrangement; and either (a) the Group has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially
all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control
of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows
from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it
evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and
rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset
nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to
the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. In
that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has
retained.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprise initial acquisition costs of oil and
gas properties.
(a) Oil and gas properties
For oil and gas properties, the successful efforts method of
accounting is adopted. The Companycapitalises the initial
acquisition costs of oil and gas properties. Impairment of initial
acquisition costs is recognised based on exploratory experience and
management judgement. Upon discovery of commercial reserves,
acquisition costs are transferred to proved properties. The costs
of drilling and equipping successful exploratory wells, all
development expenditures on construction, installation or
completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms,
pipelines, processing plants and the drilling of development wells,
including those renewals and betterments that extend the economic
lives of the assets, and the related borrowing costs are
capitalised. The costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells and all
other exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
The Group carries exploratory well costs as an asset when the
well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its
completion as a producing well and where the Group is making
sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and
operating viability of the project. Exploratory well costs not
meeting these criteria are charged to expenses. Exploratory wells
that discover potentially economic reserves in areas where major
capital expenditure will be required before production would begin
and when the major capital expenditure depends upon the successful
completion of further exploratory work remain
capitalised and are reviewed periodically for impairment. Costs
associated with significant development projects are not
depreciated until commercial production commences.
Property, plant and equipment
Leasehold improvement, office equipment and computer software
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The straight-line method is adopted to depreciate the cost
less any estimated residual value of these assets over their
expected useful lives. The Group estimates the useful lives of
leasehold improvement to be two to five years, and office equipment
and computer software to be three years.
Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have
different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a
reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated
separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation
method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each
financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment including any
significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal
or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in
profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the
difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount
of the relevant asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Groupassesses at the end of each reporting period whether
there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of
financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events
that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an
incurred "loss event") and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of
financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of
impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of
debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default
or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability
that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease
in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or
economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first
assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment
exists for financial assets that are individually significant, or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset,
whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of
financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and
collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are
individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment
loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a
collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference
between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that
have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated
future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset's original
effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed
at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate,
the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current
effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of
an allowance account and the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying
amount
and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the
future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are
written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery
and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the
Group.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated
impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event
occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously
recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the
allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery
is credited to other expenses in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group
determines the classification of its financial liabilities at
initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value
and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
The Group's financial liabilities include other payables and
amounts due to related parties. All financial liabilities are
considered to be loans and borrowings for the purposes of IAS 39
classification.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be
immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses
are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate
amortisation is included in finance costs in the income
statement.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under
the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of
an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange
or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference
between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or
loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short
term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into
known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within
three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash
management.
For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and
cash equivalentscomprise cash on hand and at bank, including term
deposits, which are not restricted as to use.
Tax
Tax comprises current and deferred tax. Tax relating to items
recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or
loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices
prevailing in the countries in which the Groupoperates.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the
carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of
financial position differs to its tax base.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those
instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be
available, against which the difference can be utilised.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax
liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered).
Employee benefits
Pension schemes and other retirement benefits
Employees of the Group which operates in Mainland China are
required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the
local municipal government. The Group is required to contribute
0.2% to 10.0% of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme.
The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become
payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension
scheme.
Foreign currency transactions
These financial statements are presented in United States
dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's
presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by
the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional
currency rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of
exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences
arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are
recognised in the income statement.
Share-based payments
Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the
fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the vesting
period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by
adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each
reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount
recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of
options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market
vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options
granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a
charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting
conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted
for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a
non-vesting condition is not satisfied.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before
they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured
immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the
remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than
employees, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is
charged with the fair value of goods and services received.
