Strait advises Red Emperor that a positive outcometo these discussions is still likely to occur.In June, Strait signed a one year extension of the PSC for Block VIb with theState Agency for Regulation of Oil and Gas.Puntland ProjectOver the past quarter, the Federal Government of Somalia has been engaging theSomali States, including Puntland, in a process of revising the federalhydrocarbon law. The main issues being contemplated and negotiated by allparties are those of revenue sharing and where the authority to conductcontractual negotiations in the future will reside. These issues are delicateand discussions are ongoing, with Red Emperor's Joint Venture Partner andOperator, Horn Petroleum (TSXV: HRN), having met with the Puntland President,Mr Abdiweli, as well as the Federal Minister of Oil and Gas during the quarter.The Puntland Government obviously believes that it holds the right andauthority to assign and administer Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) withinits boarders and Red Emperor's Joint Venture remains confident that theexisting Dharoor and Nugaal PSAs are valid. At recent meetings in Abu Dhabi,the JV was verbally assured of this, however it is yet to be presented withanything in writing by the Federal government to confirm it. Discussions continuewith the State and Federal governments to ensure alignment with regards tocontracts and a secure working environment, as well a commitment to explorationin Puntland and the unlocking of what is believed to be material naturalresources within its boarders.CorporateDuring the quarter, Red Emperor conducted a detailed review of at least 6separate projects and opportunities in a number of global jurisdictionsincluding the UK, Nigeria, Russia and Australia. While none of theseopportunities have resulted in a transaction, Red Emperor is actively lookingfor additions to its current portfolio of assets while remaining committed tomaintaining its substantial cash position.Along with a short-term financing loan, which has now been repaid, the companyalso invested in and committed to a placement in ASX listed company, HighfieldResources Limited (ASX: HFR) during the quarter.For and on behalf of the BoardGreg BandyExecutive DirectorASX Additional Information for Quarterly Report to 30 June 2014                      Tenement   Location    Working     Acquired/    Working                     Reference             Interest at   Disposed   Interest at                                           Beginning of               End of                                             Quarter                  QuarterOil & Gas Beneficialpercentage interestsheld in farm-in orfarm- out agreement                     Block Vla  Republic   20%          N/A         20%                                of Georgia                     Block Vlb  Republic   20%          N/A         20%                                of Georgia                     Dharoor    Puntland   20%          N/A         20%                     Block                     Nugaal     Puntland   20%          N/A         20%                     BlockAppendix 5B Summary - Consolidated Statement of Cashflow                                                    Current Year to Date                                                    Quarter                                                                 $A'000)                                                     $A'000Cash flows related to operating activitiesReceipts from product sales and related debtors           -            -Payments for:  * exploration and evaluation                            -        (787)  * development                                           -            -  * production                                            -            -  * administration                                    (297)       (1068)Dividends received                                        -            -Interest and other items or a similar nature             98          423receivedInterest and other costs of finance paid                  -            -Income taxes paid                                         -            -Other Receipts                                           26           74Net operating Cash Flows                              (173)      (1,358)Cashflows related to investing activitiesPayments for the purchase of:  * prospects                                             -            -  * equity investments                                    -            -  * investments                                           -            -Proceeds from the sale of:  * prospects                                             -            -  * equity investments                                (298)        (298)  * investments asset acquisition escrow acc              -            -Loans to other entities                                   -            -Loans repaid by other entities                            -            -Proceeds from underwriting                                -            -Net investing cash flows                              (298)        (298)Cash flows related to financing activitiesProceeds from raisings                                    -            -Proceeds from sale of forfeited shares                    -            -Proceeds from borrowings                                  -            -Repayment of borrowings                                   -            -Dividends paid                                            -            -Costs associated with issue of shares                     -            -Net financing cash flows                                  -            -Net increase / (decrease) in cash held                (471)      (1,656)Cash at the beginning of the quarter / year          10,792       11,977to dateExchange rate adjustments                                 -            -CASH AT THE END OF THE QUARTER                       10,321       10,321 Ground Floor, 1 Havelock Street, West Perth WA 6005 | Tel: +61 8 9488 5220 |              Fax: +61 8 9324 2400 | www.redemperorresources.com                              ABN 99 124 734 961BOARD & MANAGEMENTMr Greg BandyEXECUTIVE DIRECTORMr Jason BontempoNON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORMr Stephen BrockhurstNON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORMs Rebecca SandfordMs Sara KellyJOINT COMPANY SECRETARYREGISTERED OFFICEGround Floor1 Havelock StreetWest Perth WA 6005POSTAL ADDRESSPO Box 1440West Perth WA 6872CONTACT DETAILSTel: +61 8 9488 5220Fax: +61 8 9324 2400WEBSITEwww.redemperorresources.comSHARE REGISTRYComputershareLevel 245 St Georges TerracePerth WA 6000Tel: 1300 555 159NOMINATED ADVISER & UK BROKERFox Davies Capital Limited1 Tudor StreetLondon EC4Y 0AHTel:  +44 (0) 203 463 5010ASX CODE| AIM CODERMP
