The Nido and Matinloc oil fields continued to produce oil on a cyclical basis during the quarter. Oil production from these fields totalled 32,529 bbls (8,502 bbls net to Nido).

I am pleased to report that the Company's Annual General Meeting was held on 6 May 2016 at the Company's offices in Como, Perth and all resolutions were passed with an over- whelming majority.

The Galoc Joint Venture continued to progress sub-surface and preliminary engineering studies and is still considering a possible appraisal well in the mid-Galoc area of the field to confirm the commerciality of a potential Phase III develop- ment project.

The Company also continued to evaluate exploration, devel- opment and production assets in the region and is consider-

ing a number of assets in this context.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Permanent Court of Arbitra- tion in the Hague issued a ruling and found in favour of the Philippines in their long-running territorial dispute with the Peoples Republic of China regarding the South China Sea. At this stage there is no clarity on the impact this ruling may have on SC 58 and SC 63 and we will be following develop- ments in the Philippines closely.

Nido ended the quarter with cash on hand of US$3.0 million and debt outstanding of US$78.2 million.

INFLOWS

Galoc production remained steady and cash inflows from crude oil sales totalled US$9.4 million with receipts from 1 cargo received in the reporting period. There were no cash receipts received from the Nido/Matinloc oil fields for this quarter.

Quarterly interest & other inflow movements were minimal. There was one crude oil hedge put option executed during the quarter (against the June 2016 average Dubai oil price), however the resulting cash inflow upon settlement was received in July 2016.

OUTFLOWS

Cash outflows from production operations at the Galoc oil field and the Nido/Matinloc oil fields amounted to US$9.0 million. There were no cash outflows for costs of crude oil hedge put options as the June option premium was paid in July 2016.

Cash outflows for exploration activities of US$0.8 million relate mainly to new venture and Galoc exploration activity.

Principal repayments and interest payments were deferred until at least 15 March 2018 as a result of the renegotiation of the Facility Agreement with the Bangchak Petroleum Public Company Limited ('BCP') in March 2016. There were minimal other financing- related outflows.

Income tax expense payments totalled $0.5 million during the quarter. General administration expenditure totalled US$1.1 million for the quarter.
