Estimates of reserves and resources have been carried out in accordance with the June 2018 SPE/WPC/AAPG/ SPEE/SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management System ("PRMS") as the standard for classification and reporting. A summary of the PRMS can be downloaded from:- https://www.spe.org/en/industry/petroleum-resources-management-system-2018/. Review by Qualified Person The technical information in this release has been reviewed by Dr Pierre Eliet, Executive Director & Country Chair Malaysia, who is a qualified person for the purposes of the AIM Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies. Dr Eliet is a geologist with more than 30 years' experience in the oil and gas industry and has a BA Degree in Earth Sciences from Trinity College, Dublin, a PhD in Geology from Manchester University, UK and is a Fellow of the Geological Society (London). Glossary "2C Resources" means those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingent resources are a class of discovered recoverable resources "bcf" means billion cubic feet "bnboe" means billion barrels of oil equivalent "boepd" means barrels of oil equivalent per day "CPR" means Competent Persons Report "FDAP" means Field Development and Abandonment Plan "GW" means gigawatt(s) "LNG" means liquified natural gas "mmbbls" means million barrels "mmboe" means million barrels of oil equivalent "mmscfd" means million standard cubic feet per day "MMstb" means million stock tank barrels "NGL" means natural gas liquids "PSC" means Production Sharing Contract "SFA" means Small Field Area "tcf" means trillion cubic feet STRATEGIC REVIEW The continuing focus of the Company is to build an E&P company in Southeast Asia through the exploration, development and acquisition of a portfolio of oil and gas assets that, when aggregated, deliver superior full-cycle value for shareholders. Southeast Asia is home to more than 680 million people, approximately 8.5% of the global total, and a population that continues to grow, urbanise and move into the middle class. It is also one of the world's most dynamic economic regions, with a combined GDP now in excess of US$4 trillion and growth forecast at 4.2-4.5% for 2026 - roughly double that of the advanced economies. Growth is broadly based rather than reliant on any single market: manufacturing and export relocation are driving Vietnam and Malaysia, while domestic consumption, services and infrastructure investment underpin Indonesia and the Philippines. Deepening integration through

the ASEAN Economic Community continues to support cross-border investment and, with it, industrial and urban energy consumption. A newer and increasingly material driver is the region's digital infrastructure build-out. Data centres, fuelled by cloud computing and artificial intelligence, have become a distinct load category: the International Energy Agency expects Southeast Asian data-centre electricity demand to more than double by 2030, while Wood Mackenzie forecasts regional data-centre power demand quadrupling from 2.6 GW to 10.7 GW between 2025 and 2035. Malaysia is at the centre of this trend, holding around 60% of the region's proposed project pipeline and expected to lead regional data-centre load by 2035. Because these facilities require continuous, firm, high-quality power, they reinforce rather than displace the need for dispatchable gas-fired generation. Together, these drivers place Southeast Asia on course to account for approximately 25% of global energy demand growth to 2035, with electricity demand growing at around 5.3% per annum over 2026-2030. The requirement for reliable, affordable and cleaner energy has become increasingly pronounced as governments balance economic development against energy security and environmental objectives. Natural gas is expected to be central to meeting this demand. According to Wood Mackenzie, gas could account for up to 30% of the region's primary energy mix by 2050, with demand growth outpacing both oil and coal. Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines continue to invest in pipelines, LNG terminals and gas-fired generation to secure long-term supply and reduce reliance on more carbon-intensive fuels. Against this backdrop, the Directors believe Seascape is well positioned to contribute to meeting the region's energy needs. The Company has established a portfolio of high-quality, gas-weighted development assets offshore Malaysia, reflecting its ability to generate meaningful value from its core technical capabilities and established regional relationships. As these projects advance towards production, the Company intends to build on these strengths to expand its portfolio, both within Malaysia and across the wider region. OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITY Seascape made material operational progress across its gas-weighted Malaysian portfolio during the period. In parallel, the Company progressed partnering and financing initiatives, including workstreams directed toward securing a strategic partner and exploring multiple debt financing routes to support development funding. Taken together, these achievements leave the Company well positioned to deliver significant gas production from its Malaysian portfolio by 2028. Temaris SFA PSC At its operated Temaris Cluster (SEA 100%), the Company remains on track to submit its Field Development and Abandonment Plan ("FDAP") in Q4 2026 - just 18 months from award. The initial development targets the Tembakau gas field (certified net 2C contingent resources of 246 bcf, or 41 mmboe) via two unmanned wellhead platforms tied back to existing infrastructure. First production is expected during H2 2028 at a plateau of 100 mmscfd (~17,000 boepd) with clear growth potential. All Front-End Engineering and Design ("FEED") contracts have been awarded following competitive tendering processes, key subsurface and well-design studies are complete, including drilling locations, and the third-party export route has been agreed with commercial discussions progressing. Indicative costs remain in-line with expectations, supporting strong returns from this short-cycle project. A newly completed Multi-Parameter Full Waveform Inversion 3D seismic reprocessing study has significantly improved subsurface imaging of Tembakau and identified new, low-risk near-field prospectivity on trend, which is now being incorporated into development planning which includes several low-cost design features, such as additional well-slots and an upsized pipeline, which increase the flexibility to rapidly monetise any incremental discoveries in the area.

Seascape is currently in active negotiations with PETRONAS Malaysia Petroleum Management ("MPM") regarding the potential inclusion of additional acreage to the Temaris PSC. The additional area contains an extension of the high-quality, channelised Miocene sandstone system identified by Seascape's technical evaluation of the area. The area remains subject to final commercial agreement and approval by MPM in the coming months and the additional firm work commitments are anticipated to be met from the Company's existing cash resources. Temaris Farm-out Following the progress made in securing an expanded acreage footprint around the Temaris PSC, Seascape has now restarted the Temaris farm-out process with the benefit of the enlarged prospectivity, a rapidly maturing FDAP and a supportive macro environment. The Company continues to receive strong interest in the process for this uniquely positioned asset in a geographically advantaged location and Seascape's ambition is to introduce a high-quality partner into the Temaris PSC prior to FDAP submission in late Q4 2026. DEWA SFA PSC During the period at the DEWA Cluster (SEA 28%), operator EnQuest plc completed initial development and concept planning for produced gas to be transported to the MLNG plant in Bintulu through adjacent facilities at the E8 field (operated by Shell) which is supported by PETRONAS. EnQuest remains committed to the project and continues to target sanction for approximately the end of 2026 and deliver production no later than 2030 to align with the expected availability of system capacity. EnQuest's publicly quoted gross 2C resource figure of 350 bcf and approximately 6 MMstb of condensate for DEWA's initial cluster development is in-line with Seascape's previously announced, independently verified, resource estimates. The Company views EnQuest's recent Malaysian acquisition and pivot towards Southeast Asia as a positive endorsement of the region and of the value Seascape's own asset base. Block 2A PSC Work during the first half of 2026 on Block 2A (SEA 10%) by operator INPEX CORPORATION ("INPEX") has focused on detailed drilling plans to test the giant Kertang prospect (certified gross mean unrisked prospective resources of 9.1 Tcf and 145 mmbbls of NGL, or 1.7 bnboe) including the final well design, drilling location and data acquisition programme. Seascape has recently been informed by INPEX that the rig tender is moving into its final stages with an award now anticipated in mid-Q4 2026. INPEX has confirmed that the timing of the rig award is not expected to impact the planned spud of the Kertang well, which remains scheduled for summer 2027. Purchase orders for a significant amount of well equipment and materials have now been issued and a debris survey at the well location is planned for Q1 2027. Financing During the period, Seascape exclusively mandated Macquarie Bank Limited as sole Structuring and Technical & Modelling Bank for a debt facility to fund its development expenditure. Discussions have progressed to the detailed term sheet stage and the Company has begun to engage with the wider market as part of its process to select its core lending group and secure commitments alongside FDAP submission. Growth The Company continues to pursue opportunities to grow its portfolio in Malaysia and the wider Southeast Asian region consistent with its strategy, financial capacity and disciplined approach to capital allocation. Board Changes Following period end it was announced that Executive Chairman, James Menzies, has stepped down from the board to focus on his continuing recovery from a serious cycling accident in the summer.

Geraldine Murphy, currently Interim Non-Executive Chair, has been appointed Non-Executive Chair on a permanent basis, continuing her strong support of the Company and its growth strategy. Additionally, Haida Hazri, currently Non-Executive Director, has been appointed Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Financial Results At 30 June 2026 the Group had net cash reserves totalling £7.1 million (31 December 2025: £6.2 million) of which £2.2 million (31 December 2025: £2.1 million) is restricted and relates to cash-backed collateralised guarantees provided as security for future work programmes in Malaysia. As at the signature date of these financial statements, Seascape has received £1.3 million from the release of restricted cash balances following the fulfilment of certain work scopes on Temaris, improving the unrestricted cash position. Exploration and evaluation assets of £5.9 million (2025: £2.9 million) represent capitalised expenditure incurred within Malaysia which are deemed fully recoverable at the balance sheet date. The increase during the period was primarily attributable to capitalised pre-development costs relating to the Temaris project, including seismic reprocessing, drilling and wells related activities, FEED engineering, feasibility and sedimentology studies, and other activities undertaken to advance the project towards the development phase. Administrative costs for the period totalled £585k (1H 2025: £2.8 million). The reduction from the prior period primarily reflects the capitalisation of personnel and administrative expenses relating to the Temaris project as exploration and evaluation assets from July 2025 onwards, resulting in lower administrative expenses being recognised in the income statement for the period ended 30 June 2026. The non-recurring costs (refer to Note 6) of £37k (1H 2025: £888k) primarily relate to data storage subscription costs associated with the farm-out exercise (1H 2025: farming down the Malaysian 2A PSC to INPEX, the application of and securing the Temaris PSC, other new venture appraisal costs, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and unrealised foreign exchange losses). When adjusting for these items of non- recurring expenditure, the administrative expenses for the periods are £547k (1H 2025: £1.9 million). The total loss for the period was £464k (1H 2025: profit of £5.7 million) and comprised a loss of £464k (2025: £2.5 million) from continuing operations and a profit of £ nil (1H 2025: profit of £8.2 million) from discontinuing operations. The total comprehensive loss for the period included currency translation losses £29k (1H 2025: gain of £73k), which were recognised directly in the reserves, resulting in a total comprehensive loss of £493k (1H 2025: income of £5.8 million). Statement of going concern The Directors have completed the going concern assessment, taking into account cash and forecasts up to December 2027, sensitivities to those forecasts and stress tests to assess whether the Company and its subsidiaries (together the Group) are a going concern. Having undertaken careful enquiry, the Directors are of the view that the Group will not need to access additional funds during the period to meet its current work programme and budget. In order to make a Final Investment Decision on its development assets, or make a substantial acquisition, the Group will require further funding. However, the timing and associated quantum will generally be at the discretion of the Group. Any required financing will be sourced through a combination of farm-downs, debt instruments and potentially new equity capital if required. On behalf of the board

Further details of the reclassification are set out in Note 17. 2 Following the reclassification, the comparative amounts for net cash used in operating activities and foreign exchange effects on cash and cash equivalents have been revised to £2,904,254 and £190,101, respectively. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Accounting policies 1.1 Company information Seascape Energy Asia plc is an AIM public quoted company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 5th Floor, One New Change, London, EC4M 9AF. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are to responsibly explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons, particularly gas. 1.2 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under UK adopted IAS.
Page 11
The financial statements are prepared in British pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the Group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2026. The adoption of these Standards has not resulted in any material impact to the Group's results as reported within these financial statements. 1.3 Going concern The Directors have completed the going concern assessment, taking into account cash and forecasts up to December 2027, sensitivities to those forecasts and stress tests to assess whether the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) are a going concern. Having undertaken careful enquiry, the Directors are of the view that the Group will not need to access additional funds during the period to meet its current work programme and budget. In order to make a Final Investment Decision on its development assets, or make a substantial acquisition, the Group will require further funding. However, the timing and associated quantum will generally be at the discretion of the Group. Any required financing will be sourced through a combination of farm-downs, debt instruments and potentially new equity capital if required. 2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below. Exploration and evaluation assets The Group takes into consideration whether the exploration assets have suffered any impairment, taking into consideration licence status, planned expenditures, the results of the drilling to date, and the likelihood of reserves being found. The Group evaluated information from third parties in making these assessments, where available and these judgements can be subject to change should further information becomes available. Refer to Note 9 for the key assumptions on the impairment review of exploration and evaluation assets.
Page 12
Expected credit loss Analysis, which considers both historical and forward looking qualitative and quantitative information is performed by Management to determine whether the credit risk has significantly increased since the time the receivable was initially recognised. Management considers the expected credit losses ("ECL") in accordance with IFRS 9 for the current receivables balances at Group level to be minimal, in view that these companies have no history of default and payment is made in a short period. Refer to Note 11 for the ECL review of trade and other receivables. Fair value of other financial assets Estimates and judgements were applied in determining the fair value of contingent assets held by the Group as a resultof the disposal of INPEX Malaysia E&P (2A) Limited ("INPEX 2A") formerly Longboat Energy (2A) Limited to INPEX.Management exercised judgement in assessing the expected recoverability and timing of future cash flows associatedwith these assets, taking into account the terms of the underlying arrangements, relevant project developments andany changes in circumstances up to the reporting date. Where applicable, the expected future cash flows wereincorporated into a fair value assessment and discounted using an estimated discount rate to determine the carryingvalue of the financial asset to be recognised. As disclosed in Note 10, other financial assets remain subject to ongoingestimation and judgement, particularly where the recoverability or timing of settlement is dependent on future events orproject outcomes. Refer to Note 10 for the estimates and judgements applied in determining the fair value of otherfinancial assets. Fair value of financial liabilities payable Estimate and judgement were applied in fair valuing the contingent consideration payable for the acquisition ofSeascape Energy (2A) Limited ("SE 2A") in 2023. Management applied judgement in determining the likelihood of allpossible scenarios and this was modelled into a weighted fair value calculation, which was discounted, using anestimated discount rate, to establish the current value of the financial liability payable to be recognised. As disclosed inNote 15, the financial liability was made up of 3 tranches. Tranche 1 was settled in 2023 and tranche 2 was settled in2025 upon the completion of the farmout of 2A PSC to INPEX. Only tranche 3 remains as contingent on a successfulhydrocarbon discovery over a certain volume threshold and therefore subject to ongoing estimation and judgement.Refer to Note 15 for the estimates and judgement applied in determining the fair value of financial liabilities. 3. Operating segment During the period, the Group had two reportable operating segments: Malaysia and Head Office. Non-current assets and operating liabilities are located in Malaysia, whilst the majority of current assets are carried at Head Office. The Group has not yet commenced production and therefore has no revenue. Each reportable segment adopts the same accounting policies.

The Group reviews its exploration and evaluation assets for indicators of impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit ("CGU") may exceed its recoverable amount. In performing the review, the Group considered, amongst others: (i) the validity and remaining tenure of exploration licenses; (ii) the intention to continue exploration and evaluation activities; (iii) substantive planned and budgeted expenditure; (iv) results of exploration activities and technical evaluations; and (v) the potential for commercial hydrocarbon discoveries. As at 30 June 2026, a review of impairment indicators under IFRS 6 was undertaken, the results of which were that no facts or circumstances existed at the balance sheet date that indicated an impairment of the Group's exploration and evaluation assets. A full Impairment Assessment was therefore not undertaken. 10. Other financial assets £ At 31 December 2025 and 1 January 2026 1,409,055 Foreign exchange 23,090 Unwinding of discount 26,441 At 30 June 2026 1,458,586 On 17 March 2025, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, INPEX 2A to INPEX Corporation for an initial cash consideration of $10 million plus the reimbursement of historic costs and further contingent cash consideration of $10 million payable on a commercial discovery. The contingent cash consideration has been classified as a financial asset under IFRS 9, and as such has been recognised within the financial statements. As with the financial liability associated with Block 2A (see Note 15) to calculate the fair value of the consideration, the weighted average geological chance of success based on the third-party Competent Persons Report of June 2024 was calculated. The asset was then discounted back to its present value using a suitable risk-free rate, in this instance the UK 3-Year Gilt rate of 3.758% as at 30 June 2026. 11.

As at 30 June 2026, the management assessed the expected credit losses associated with the Group's receivable balances in accordance with IFRS 9. The assessment considered both historical loss experience and forward-looking information. Based on the review performed, no material expected credit losses were identified and accordingly, no ECL provision has been recognised. 12.

Trade payables and accruals of the Group comprise pre-development project cost for Temaris, audit and accounting fees and other operational related costs at the period/year end. The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value. 14. Provisions Six-monthperiod ended30 June 2026 Year ended31 December2025 £ £ Provision for bonus - 694,384 On 13 January 2026, the Company announced annual bonuses for its Executive Directors for the year ended 31 December 2025. The bonus provision was fully settled during the period through the award of nil cost LTIP share options on 13 January 2026 and 22 April 2026. 15. Other financial liabilities £ At 31 December 2025 and 1 January 2026 290,087 Foreign exchange 4,849 Unwinding of discount 5,348 At 30 June 2026 300,284 Acquisition of SE 2A In September 2023, the Company acquired SE 2A thereby obtaining a 15.75% participating interest in Block 2A PSC. The acquisition includes contingent payment of up to $3.0 million, payable upon a commercial discovery on Block 2A or, in the event of a disposal of the Block 2A PSC interest, by reference to the disposal proceeds received, subject to a maximum payment of US$3.0 million. There were no changes to the acquisition terms or contingent consideration arrangements during the six months ended 30 June 2026. A weighted average 20% geological chance of success based on the third-party Competent Persons Report of June 2024 has been used to estimate the fair value of the consideration. The liability was then discounted to its present value using a risk-free rate, in this instance the UK 3-Year Gilt rate of 3.758% as at 30 June 2026. The carrying value of the contingent consideration was calculated to be $397k (£300k). A change in the probability of success of 5% would lead to a 25% change in the fair value of the contingent consideration, equivalent to US$99k (£75k). 16.
