(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of earnings by London-listed companies, issued on Friday and not separately reported by Alliance News:

----------

Beacon Energy PLC - Germany-focused upstream oil & gas company - In the six months that ended June 30, pretax loss widens to USD4.1 million from USD1.1 million a year earlier. This is mostly due to a one-off impairment of investment of USD2.9 million. Non-Executive Chair Mark Rollins says: "With the SCHB-2(2.) [well] now safely and successfully completed, the company's priority is establishing flowrates through clean-up of the wellbore, and eventual installation of an electrical submersible pump. Based on the technical data acquired through the drill which demonstrated the high quality reservoir encountered at the well location, the company's technical analysis indicates that with a successful clean-up operation and implementation of artificial lift initiatives, the well has the potential to deliver in the region of 900 [barrels of oil per day] net production to Beacon. At those flow rates, the company would expect to deliver operating cash flows in excess of USD1.5 million per month (assuming USD80 per barrel for Brent)."
