“The first half of 2019 was a very difficult period for the Company where we had endure significant delays for key operational related consents at Barryroe, manage the increasingly negative political climate action agenda and, post period-end, continue to deal with the delays in the payment of the funds due from APEC Energy Enterprises in respect of the Barryroe farm-out, implement a major corporate re-engineering process and execute a Placing to provide essential working capital for our business.   Despite the significant political and commercial headwinds that we have faced, the materiality of both our portfolio and investment in offshore Ireland remains, and the Board remain focused on realising value for all of our shareholders.”
