  1. Presentation of the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 and Action Thereon

The next item on the agenda was the presentation of the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Annual Report contains the Company's Audited Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended 31 December 2021 which were examined by the Company's independent auditors, SGV. Shareholders were previously provided copies of the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements, together with the Notice and Agenda for the meeting in accordance with the pertinent SEC rules.

The Chairman requested Mr. Daniel Stephen P. Carlos, President of the Company, to present the highlights of the Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements for the year 2021.

Mr. Carlos informed the body that the Company and its subsidiary Forum Energy Limited remain active in a number of petroleum service contracts (SC) in the Philippines, either directly as an Operator or indirectly as a Joint Venture partner. As in the previous years, the Company remains committed and focused in advancing its exploration efforts, particularly in major petroleum assets, namely: SC No. 72 in Recto Bank, SC No. 75 and 74 in Northwest Palawan, SC No. 40 in Northern Cebu, as well as the Company's minority interests in SC No. 6 and 14 in Northwest Palawan.

Mr. Carlos proceeded with his report by presenting a review of the Financial Performance of the Company for the year 2021 and during the first quarter of the year 2022.

2021 Financial Performance

In terms of Financial Performance during the year 2021, the Company's revenues increased by 112% as compared to the previous year following a 75% increase in Galoc oil sale price notwithstanding a 16% lower output.

Meanwhile, Costs and Expenses were flat year-on-year attributable to higher oil production costs in Galoc Field offset by the containment of overhead.

Overall, the Company incurred a net loss attributable to Equity Holders of 1.7 billion pesos, largely as a result of a 1.65 billion pesos full write-down of the carrying

value of petroleum assets related to the relinquishment of Peru block Z-38 in mid- 2021, net of the related settlement sum and expenses.

1Q 2022 Financial Performance

For the first Quarter of 2022, gross revenues reached P19 million due to one lifting from the Galoc Field last February as compared to no lifting completed during the same period last year.

On the other hand, Cost and Expenses increased by 13 percent related to the higher output offset by containment of overhead.

Finally, the Company recorded a lower net loss of 3 million pesos during the first quarter of the year against a loss of 11 million pesos during the previous year resulting from net revenues from the Galoc operations in addition to lower overhead.

Mr. Carlos then presented the highlights on the operated and non-operated blocks of PXP and Forum.

Operations Update

The Company has a 70% interest in SC No. 72 or Recto Bank. It is operated by the Company's subsidiary Forum (GSEC 101) Limited. It covers the Sampaguita Gas discovery estimated to contain about 2.6 trillion cubic feet of Contingent Gas Resources. The block had been under force majeure since December 2014.

In October 2020, the moratorium on exploration work in the contract area was lifted by the Department of Energy (DOE). Forum then immediately began its preparations for its commitment to drill two appraisal wells over the Sampaguita Field. Such work included the procurement of vital long lead items and support services and the engagement of technical consultants. The Company was well on track to drill its 1st of 2 appraisal wells scheduled in the middle of May this year.

In early April 2022, the first pre-drilling activity is about to commence with the arrival of the geophysical site survey vessel in Palawan. However, on April 6, 2022, Forum received a directive from the DOE to put on hold all exploration activities for SC 72 until such time that the government's cabinet cluster on Security, Justice and Peace has issued the necessary clearance to proceed. Mr. Carlos stressed that this was the first time that the Company learned of this requirement for a clearance from the Security cluster for an exploration activity in this part of the West Philippine Sea.

Upon receipt of this directive, Forum immediately suspended all its offshore activities; and on April 11, in the absence of any advice from the DOE that Forum can resume exploration work, Forum submitted a letter to the DOE, affirming a declaration of force majeure on SC 72 beginning April 6. Forum then undertook the immediate
