2 Dear Shareholders, We can now summarize Matra Petroleum AB s first financial year following the listing on Nasdaq First North in Stockholm last spring. In, Matra made meaningful progress and recorded significant growth and financial improvements: - Oil and gas production increased by 19% - Revenue increased by 63% - EBITDA turned positive and net income improved - Long term debt was restructured MUSD in new equity was raised In, performance was driven by successful drilling, production optimization and continuous cost and efficiency improvements. Revenues, EBITDA and cash flow were also supported by improved oil and gas prices. Increased capital expenditures, resulting from higher drilling activity were primarily funded by equity issues early in the year and working capital sources, resulting in a net cash decrease. 10 new production wells and 1 salt water disposal well were successfully drilled and completed and are outperforming expectations as drilling and completion techniques keep improving. The results from the new wells have been incorporated into Matra s updated development plan and independent reserve report to reflect higher expected financial returns from new wells to be drilled going forward. Matra has identified more than 400 locations for drilling new wells to add production towards the long term production target of 6,000 boe per day. In the fourth quarter, oil and gas production increased compared to same quarter last year but was lower than in the preceding quarter, primarily due to unusually low temperatures in northern Texas in December that affected flow lines and compressors. Higher realized oil and gas prices contributed to revenues increasing by 16% compared to the fourth quarter last year while remaining at the same level as revenues in the third quarter. Quarterly EBITDA further improved from the third quarter and the fourth quarter. Net income for the quarter was negatively affected by an unrealised loss of TUSD 453 on hedge positions, based on higher yearend oil and gas prices not yet reflected in oil and gas sales. Hedge positions were related to future production for which actual price realizations will be recorded in Higher oil and gas prices support revenue, cash flow and earnings going into Matra s asset base offers significant development opportunities and we remain committed further optimize drilling and production. Our objective is to execute an extensive workover program and launch this years drilling program in the second quarter to provide for further growth and financial improvements. 21 February 2018 Maxim Barskiy Chief Executive Officer 2

4 The estimate of reserves has been conducted by independent petroleum consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton and were prepared in accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Future prices were estimated using guidelines established by the SEC and FASB based on the 12 month average NYMEX oil price and gas price. Revenue Total revenue in the year ended 31 December amounted to TUSD 9,234, representing a 63 percent increase compared with the twelve months (TUSD 5,682) (figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period last year, unless otherwise stated). Total revenue included revenue from sales of oil of TUSD 4,957, gas TUSD 3,548 and other income TUSD 729. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher production and higher realized crude oil and gas prices. The average received selling prices for oil increased by 16 percent and for gas by 52 percent during the period and amounted to USD per bbl for oil and USD 6.78 per mcf for gas (USD per bbl and USD 4.46 per mcf). The increase in average selling prices resulted from improved market conditions and increased deliveries of higher quality gas. Matra sells its oil to the Valero refinery located in the Northwest Moore County in the Panhandle area. The gas is tied into the DCP Midstream L.P. gas pipeline network, and the Energy Transfer Partners pipeline system, both local Texas systems. Costs Production costs for the year amounted to TUSD 5,070 representing an increase of 27 percent compared with the year ended 31 December (TUSD 3,986). This increase in production costs was mainly attributable to higher production and field activity. Production costs include inventory movements, production taxes, electricity, crude oil heat treatment (during the winter period), compressor lease/maintenance, field operating team compensation, maintenance/work-over costs and other costs. General and administrative expenses amounted to TUSD 3,319 for the year ended 31 December, which was lower than TUSD 3,910 for the year ended 31 December.

EBITDA for the year ended 31 December amounted to TUSD 1,400 (TUSD -745). The improvement in Operating result and EBITDA was explained by increased revenues resulting from higher production and prices. Net financial items The net financial items are comprised of finance costs and change in fair value of warrants. Finance costs amounted to TUSD 6,566 in the year ended 31 December compared to TUSD 5,493 for the year ended 31 December.

13 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the fourth quarter and the year ended 31 December and 31 December (Tabular amounts are in US Dollars, unless otherwise stated). Note 1 - Corporate information and basis of preparation This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554). Matra Petroleum AB (publ) ( Matra AB or The Company ) was formed in October as the parent company of the group. Matra AB consolidated 100 percent of Matra Petroleum USA, Inc. ( Matra USA ), making it a fully owned subsidiary in February. Through several transactions, Matra USA was acquired from its previous shareholders Rovelo Investment Ltd and Matra Petroleum Ltd ( Matra Ltd ). In exchange, Matra AB issued shares to Rovelo Investment Ltd and Matra Ltd s former shareholders. The transaction did not meet a definition of a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, as it was a transaction under common control, consequently these financial statements are issued under the legal parent, Matra AB, but are deemed to be a continuation of the legal subsidiaries Matra USA and Matra ltd, which have been under common control, and hence comparative information have been included. The capital structure reflects the number of shares and the stated capital of Matra AB. These consolidated financial statements (the Financial statements ) reflect the activity for the fourth quarter and the year ended 31 December and the comparative for the year ended 31 December. The financial report of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554) and reflect the activity of the Company for 12 months ended 31 December. Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than Swedish Krona or Euro and consequently the Parent Company s financial information is reported in Swedish Krona and not the Group s reporting currency of US Dollar. Note 2 Risks and uncertainties Matra Petroleum AB (publ) s activities expose it to a number of risks and uncertainties which are continuously monitored and reviewed. The main risks and uncertainties are operational, financial and oil and gas price risks described below. A detailed analysis of Matra Petroleum s risks and uncertainties is described in the Company Description published in connection to the listing on NASDAQ First North, available on Matra Petroleum s web. Operational risk Matra s estimated proved reserves are based on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate and any significant inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions could materially affect the actual quantities and present value of such reserves. Matra s long-term commercial success depends on its ability to appraise, develop, explore and commercially produce oil and gas reserves. Matra must continually locate and develop or acquire new reserves to replace its existing reserves that are being depleted by production. Future increases in Matra s reserves will depend not only on its ability to appraise, develop and explore its existing assets but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable additional assets through acquisitions. Financial risks There is a risk that Matra will not be able, or only at a significantly higher cost, to obtain access to financing in order to meet its contractual obligations. If the Company fails to raise the necessary capital it could have a material adverse effect on the Company s business, financial condition and results of operations. 13

14 Oil and gas price risks Both oil and gas prices can be volatile and are subject to fluctuation. Any material decline in oil prices could result in a reduction of Matra s net production revenue. Historically, oil prices have fluctuated widely for many reasons. It is impossible to accurately predict future oil and gas price movements. Accordingly, oil and gas prices may not remain at their current levels. The economics of producing from some of Matra s wells may change as a result of lower prices, which could result in a reduction in the volumes of Matra s reserves if some are no longer economically viable to develop.

16 Note 10 - Financial instruments For financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the following fair value measurement hierarchy is used: Level 1: based on quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: based on inputs other than quoted prices as within level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable; Level 3: based on inputs which are not based on observable market data. Based on this hierarchy, financial instruments measured at fair value can be detailed as follows: 31 December Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Derivative instruments - non-current Derivative instruments - current Liabilities Derivative instruments - non-current Derivative instruments - current December Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Derivative instruments - non-current Derivative instruments - current Liabilities Derivative instruments - non-current Derivative instruments - current There were no transfers between the levels during the reporting period. The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is estimated to equal the carrying value. The fair value, of the Derivative instruments, is calculated using the crude oil and natural gas futures curve for the crude oil and natural gas price hedging contracts. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement. 16
