  • Net of tax refund receivables from the Norwegian tax authorities in relation to the exploration costs incurred in Norway. Lime Petroleum AS ("LPA") is a pre-qualified oil company in Norway which is eligible to receive a cash tax refund of 78% of exploration costs annually.

In 3Q FY2021, US$4.11 million was used for production related activities in Oman and US$0.79 million was used for exploration related activities in Norway. US$1.21 million was used for the Singapore and Rex Technology offices' staff costs, operational expenses, and consultancy and professional fees.

The actual amount of funds used for exploration activities in Oman was US$2.90 million lower than the projected amount in the previous quarter ended 30 June 2021 ("2Q FY2021"). The lower actual amount was mainly due to savings from faster and more efficient drilling activities in Oman in 3Q FY2021.

The actual amount of funds used for exploration activities in Norway was US$1.29 million lower than the projected amount in 2Q FY2021 due to the delay in spudding of the Fat Canyon well from August 2021 to end September 2021.

The actual amount of funds used for general working capital was US$0.17 million lower than the projected amount in 2Q FY2021, due to a slight decrease in operational and staff costs in 3Q FY2021.

The total actual use of funds for 3Q FY2021 amounted to US$6.11 million, which was US$4.36 million lower than the projected amount in 2Q FY2021.
