The financial information in this table was selected from, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (the "Financial Statements") and the Annual Information Form, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company's website www.africaenergycorp.com. EARNINGS TREND AND FINANCIAL POSITION The Company's operating expenses were consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The Company's net loss decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 due to an increase in interest income as a result of increased cash from the private placement executed in May 2018. The Company's operating expenses and net loss increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Stock-based compensation increased $0.7 million due to the issuance of 18.2 million stock options during the first nine months of 2018 compared to 2.5 million options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Stock exchange and filing fees increased by $0.2 million due to the secondary listing on Nasdaq First North Stockholm. These increases were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in new venture costs in 2018 as the Company acquired geological and geophysical data during the first nine months of 2017. As at September 30, 2018, the Company had cash of $37.9 million and net working capital of $38.1 million compared to cash of $3.1 million and negative working capital of $1.9 million at December 31, 2017. The Company's cash and net working capital improved significantly compared to the end of 2017 due to the completion of a private placement in the second quarter of 2018 for gross proceeds of approximately $45.0 million.
