Chairman's Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it gives me great pleasure
to present the financial statements of Senterra Energy plc (the
"Company" or "Senterra") for the year ended 31 December 2016.
On 10 November 2015, Senterra's shares were admitted as a
standard listing to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main
Market to take control of or invest in businesses within the oil
and gas sector favouring companies with existing production and
revenues where there would be scope for growth and attractive
returns for shareholders.
On 22 February 2016, the Company announced that it continued to
follow up on expressions of interest by other parties with
opportunities outside that of the energy sector who had expressed
interest in working with Senterra to facilitate a public
listing.
On 23 May 2016, the Company announced that it had signed a
non-binding letter of intent to acquire a SIM-card technology
business based in Singapore (Oasis Smart Sim PTE Ltd) and dealings
in the Company's shares were, accordingly, suspended pending the
publication of a prospectus in relation to this transaction. The
announcement referred to the possibility of a short-term loan being
provided by the Company to this business but in the event this was
not made.
At the General Meeting on 29 July 2016, shareholders gave their
approval for the Company to evaluate opportunities outside of the
oil and gas sector and to incur costs associated with such
pursuit.
Due to the complexities of the SIM-card business being acquired,
the work on preparing a prospectus took longer than originally
anticipated and on 16 November 2016 the Company announced that the
transaction had been terminated by Oasis and that trading in the
Company's ordinary shares would therefore recommence.
The Board was naturally disappointed that Oasis had chosen to
withdraw from the transaction at that late stage. However, the
Directors believe that there continues to be other attractive
businesses and technologies available for acquisition.
The Board believes that a replacement transaction will be found
which could come from the oil and gas sector now that this sector
has recovered. I am pleased to report that we are seeing attractive
opportunities for investment in our original sector and the Board
remains hopeful of being able to conclude a transaction to bring
value to shareholders.

Notes to the financial statements
1. General Information
The Company had not commenced substantive operations during the
period under review. The address of the registered office of the
Company at Dmh Stallard LLP, 6 New Street Square, New Street
Square, London EC4A 3BF. The Company was formed to take control of
or invest in businesses within the oil and gas sector.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Board has reviewed the accounting policies set out below and
considers them to be the most appropriate to the Company's business
activities.
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted for
use by the European Union, and effective, or issued and early
adopted, as at the date of these statements. The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
as modified for financial assets carried at fair value.
The comparative financial figures cover the period from
incorporation on 5 June 2015 to 31 December 2015.
b) Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to be able to
meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
The Company meets its day to day working capital requirements
through existing cash reserves. The Directors have prepared
projected cash flow information for a period of at least twelve
months from the date of their approval of the financial statements.
On the basis of this cash flow information, the Directors consider
that the company will continue to operate without the need for
additional financing. Therefore, the Directors consider it
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern
basis.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of income, expenditure, assets and
liabilities. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated,
including expectations of future events to ensure these estimates
to be reasonable.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company's nature of operations is to act as a special
purpose acquisition company. This significantly reduces the level
of estimates and assumptions required.
4. Loss before income tax
The loss before income tax is stated after charging:
2016 2015
GBP GBP
Directors emoluments 37,093 6,000
Fees payable to the company's
auditors
* Audit of the company's annual accounts 10,000 9,500
============== =============
5. Income tax
Corporation tax is calculated at 20% of the estimated taxable
profit for the period.
The charge for the period can be reconciled to the loss in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income as follows:
2016 2015
GBP GBP
Loss before tax on continuing
operations (493,055) (151,910)
=============== ==========
Tax at the UK corporation tax
rate of 20% (98,611) (30,382)
Tax effect of expenses that
are not deductible in determining
taxable profit 59,880 25,669
Change in unrecognised deferred
tax assets 38,731 4,713
--------------- ----------
Tax charge for the period - -
=============== ==========
The Company has accumulated tax losses of GBP217,000 (2015 -
GBP24,000). No deferred tax asset was recognised in respect of
these accumulated tax losses as there is insufficient evidence that
the amount will be recovered in future years.
6. Loss per share
The calculation of loss per share is based on the following loss
and number of shares:
2016 2015
Loss for the period from continuing GBP493,055 GBP151,910
operations
Weighted average shares in
issue 27,000,000 6,961,905
Loss per share GBP0.02 GBP0.02
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the
period from continuing operations of the company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. There
are no potential dilutive shares in issue.
7. Share capital and share premium
