Financial result

The Group reported a loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 of €1,048,318 (2019: €1,504,741).

Since the beginning of 2020 Italy has faced a very challenging operating environment as a result of COVID-19 virus impacts and the resulting State of Emergency and associated lockdowns. The Company's priority remains keeping our operations team safe. The team continues to working safely in accordance with COVID 19 health and safety rules and directives and with minimal field operations. The Company has implemented initiatives to safeguard its staff and contractors and to reduce its costs and overheads during this difficult economic climate whilst continuing to advance projects through the approval process.

Financial position

Po Valley remains a northern Italy-focused energy development and exploration company with a streamlined focus on five assets:

  • The onshore gas development at Selva Malvezzi;
  • Offshore Adriatic gas development at Teodorico;
  • The large-scale gas/oil condensate exploration licence at Torre del Moro, and
  • The expanded Ravizza (Grattasasso Permit) and Bagnolo (Cadelbosco Permit) oil reservoirs and extensions.

Po Valley's priority is very focused on bringing the low cost Selva and Teodorico fields into gas production. The size and scale of Torre del Moro and Ravizza / Bagnolo in Piano, warrant initiatives to de-risk and prioritise the projects and design drilling programs. During the year, field and exploration costs were reduced to minimal expenditure whilst the two projects, Selva and Teodorico continued to progress through the normal approval procedures. Both projects have received preliminary technical environmental approval and are awaiting final sign off by the Environment Minister of the Final Decree. The Group had ongoing support of directors and major shareholders through additional loans of €609,950 during the year. Cash and cash equivalents for the Group at 31 December 2020 amounted to €44,107 (2019: €42,165).

Dividends

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company during the year ended 31 December 2020.
