2 Dear Investors, this abbreviated Newsletter summarizes the detailed corporate update provided in our 2013 interim report. Here are the key messages: The main operational events at Activa during 2013 Q3 relate to the OSR-Halliday Unit, the company s main asset in East Texas. The latest two horizontal wells were put on production towards the end of the first half with initial production rates of between 600 and 800 BOED and are proving to be the best wells in the field to date. After successfully drilling and completing five consecutive horizontal wells the unit has now been substantially de-risked. As a result of the new OSR-Halliday wells our 2013 H2 revenues will be materially stronger than H1. Our monthly production revenues exceeded EUR 600,000 in July and August. We have therefore doubled our production rates vs. the beginning of the year. Assuming stable pricing thru year-end we expect full year revenues to increase by 15%. We are working hard to grow Activa Resources on the back of our OSR-Halliday success by building a focussed portfolio of high potential prospects. In the next 6 months we will see increased drilling activity. This will include the next wells at OSR-Halliday, initial wells at Halls Bayou and Project X and further wells at Adams Ranch. We also expect to be able to report on the pilot waterflooding operation at Gray Waterflood in Louisiana by the end of the year. Please do not hesitate to contact me or our investor relations team if you have questions concerning our recent statements and activities. Leigh A. Hooper. CEO. September

4 Corporate News 2013 Interim Report Activa Resources AG recently reported its 2013 interim group financial statements. We summarize the numbers here and refer you to the full interim report available on the company s new website. Activa Resources AG generated consolidated revenues of EUR 2.13 million from the production of oil and natural gas during the first half of 2013 (2012 H1: EUR 2.41 million). The y-o-y decline results from an asset sale and 5 % lower production revenues. Total revenues comprised 81.9 % oil, 14.7 % natural gas and 3.4 % natural gas liquids. Profits before interest, taxes and depreciation expenses (EBITDA), which amounted to EUR 0.23 million (vs. EUR 1.03 million), were impacted by the requisite upfront expenses to facilitate both the strong increase in production as of Q3 and the implementation of Activa s medium term growth strategy. The group net result amounted to EUR million (vs. EUR million). Earnings per share stood at EUR (vs. EUR -0.05). AGM Report Activa Resources AG held its 2013 Annual General Meeting in Bad Homburg, Germany on 2nd August and reported the following voting details. In the meeting all resolutions proposed by the Supervisory and Management Boards were unanimously passed. These included resolutions regarding formal approval of the actions of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for the financial year 2012, the appointment of the company s auditors for the 2013 financial year and the cancellation of certain elements of the company s contingent capital. Attendance was recorded at 49.73% of the company s issued share capital of EUR 5,203,833. 4

5 Project Updates OSR-Halliday Texas During Q3 the fourth and fifth OSR-Halliday horizontal wells were fully on production and generated a significant pick up in production and revenues. With initial daily production rates of up to 820 BOE the fourth well (96-4H) is the best well drilled to date in the field and appears to be one of the better wells in the area. Likewise the fifth horizontal well (105-5H), which recored IP rates of 600 BOED. We expected lower rates here because of a shorter lateral section. As with the previous wells, initial daily production rates clearly exceed the targetted range of BOE. The latest well results again confirm that OSR-Halliday is ideally located in the Woodbine play and that our acreage has been significantly de-risked. Preparations are underway for spudding the 6th horizontal well in the coming weeks. Work at a major new regional 3D seismic survey in which Activa is participating began in Q3 and we expect the initial data to be available for review in Q4. Activa and its partners will move quickly to evaluate the data for additional opportunities in both the Woodbine and other horizons. Gray Waterflood Louisiana The waterflooding operations commenced in December 2012 and will continue into the fourth quarter of 2013 when we expect to see initial results from this pilot project. If the pilot project is successful then Activa will implement the full waterflood programme. 5

6 Project Updates Projekt X Project X is the first of a number of new opportunities in which we are making small initial investments as part of a New Project Initiative. In this project we are planning to use our experience to develop a new vertical and horizontal drilling play. The name Project X is a working title. We will not be publishing name, location details and reserve potential until we have finished securing our full acreage position. Activa has currently leased approximately 1,600 acres and recently drilled the initial vertical evaluation well. Further information will be released in due course. Adams Ranch Texas The 10 wells drilled in May 2013 to further test the oil-bearing Escondido formation were put on production during Q3. The 10 wells are producing 7-10 BO daily. Each of these long-life wells will produce approximately 3,000 barrels without waterflooding and are economic. Our plan is to use waterflooding to raise the recovery volumes per well from approx. 3,000 BO per well to 15,000 BO. While we are waiting for the waterflooding permits we will continue to build up oil production by drilling a further 20 wells in the coming six months. Halls Bayou Texas Activa has almost finalised putting a consortium of industry partners together which will allow the first well to spud in January Activa will retain an approximate 20% working interest with a significant carry of this interest. 6
