State Gas Limited Receives Approval For AUD 4.1 Million R And D Tax Concession Funding State Gas Limited had been advised that the Australian Taxation Office had formally advised that it had completed its review of the Company’s June 30, 2024 Research and Development concessional funding claim. The R and D funding claim relates to expenditure the Company incurred in designing and developing its High Density Natural Gas pilot plant, which was part of an eligible R and D project the Company has been conducting since 2022. The ATO review of the claim, which has been ongoing for over twelve months, confirmed the eligibility of the costs claimed by the Company and similarly confirmed that the Company’s governance and financial processes associated with management of its obligations under the R and D scheme were robust. State Gas had been advised that the R and D claim proceeds of AUD 4.1 million will be released to the Company before the end of July 2026 and will enable repayment of all working capital loans which the Company established to fund its ongoing operations while the ATO conducted its review. Residual funds will contribute to cash reserves. New Risk • Jul 10
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 15% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$8.7m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (20% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 18% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$6.35m market cap, or US$4.42m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (15% increase in shares outstanding). Announcement • Oct 10

State Gas Limited Announces Successful Drilling, Wireline Loging and Casing of the Rougemont 6 Vertical Well At Its Rolleston West Project in the Southern Bowen Basin in Queensland State Gas Limited announced successful drilling, wireline logging and casing of the Rougemont 6 vertical well at its Rolleston West Project (ATP 2062) in the Southern Bowen Basin in Queensland. Rougemont 6 is 1.5 kilometres north-east of the existing Rougemont 2/3 dual lateral well system. The well intersected the Bandanna coal measures at 403.8 metres, with 8.1 metres of net coal close to the expected range. Elevated gas shows during drilling further validate the commercial gas potential of the formation. State Gas will incorporate wireline log data from Rougemont 6 into its geological model for ATP 2062. Data demonstrates strong correlation between with previously drilled wells. Drilling results from Rougemont 5 and 6, including wireline logs and production testing, are expected to support accreditation of a maiden 2P reserve of 30-50 PJ for the Rolleston West Project. Successful outcomes from the program will enable the Company to submit a petroleum lease application over a substantial portion of ATP 2062 and advance discussions with potential end users and pipeline infrastructure providers. Drilling at the two new exploration/appraisal wells is fully funded under a $5.5 million Queensland Government Frontier Gas Exploration Program. Board Change • Dec 24

Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach.

State Gas Limited Announces Rougemont Production Testing Update Coals Begin Unloading State Gas Limited advised that the pilot is beginning to show early signs of the coals unloading their gas. HIGHLIGHTS: Rougemont-2/3 reaches early gas production of 50,000 cubic feet per day during testing - Desorption pressure now reached, with the well surging gas and water - With water level currently 170m above coal seams, further strong results are anticipated when coal seams are exposed. As of 14 February 2023, gas flow rates have exceeded 50,000 cubic feet per day and are steadily increasing despite water levels being still 170 metres above the uppermost coal seam. Coincident with reaching desorption pressure, the well commenced surging both gas and water, indicating good permeability and strong drive. It is anticipated that, as further water is removed from the well and drained from the coal cleats, gas rates will continue to climb. The Company will keep the market informed of continued progress with production testing results from Rougemont and is now evaluating the location for further step-out wells to support an initial resource estimate for the project. Accelerating the delivery of pipeline quality gas from Rougemont is a critical part of the Company's strategy to supply the tightening eastern seaboard gas market. Production from Rougemont could be additional to that included in the ACCC's long term supply analysis. Gas from the Company's permits is not restricted by domestic gas reservation requirements, and therefore, has the flexibility of being sold to either local customers or export markets.
