Notes to the Interim Results
For the six months ended 31 December 2011
1. Basis of preparation
The financial information for the six months ended 31 December
2011 and 31 December 2010 contained in this interim report is
unreviewed and unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts
as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The
comparative financial information for the full year ended 30 June
2011 has, however, been derived from the statutory financial
statements for that period. The statutory accounts for the year
ended 30 June 2011 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified but
contained an Emphasis of Matter paragraph concerning the valuation
of investments and the ability of Oman Resources to repay the loans
by the due date.
The Emphasis of Matter paragraph stated "The loans receivable
from Oman Resources of GBP18,610,000 have a maturity date of 30
December 2011. Should Oman Resources not meet the repayment terms,
under the default provisions of the loan, the Company will exercise
its securities allowing it to assume complete control of Oman
Resources and its 50% interest in the joint venture with Arar. The
realisation of the carrying value of that investment, and that of
the Company's direct investment in Arar of GBP8,000,000, is
dependent on the successful discovery and development of oil and
gas reserves, including the ability of the Company and Arar to
raise sufficient funds to develop such reserves. Based on the
information available to them and in contemplation of the proposed
transaction, the Directors consider that the carrying amount of
these assets is fully recoverable. These conditions, along with
other matters explained in the financial statements, indicate the
existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the
carrying value of these assets. The financial statement do not
include any adjustments relating to these uncertainties and the
ultimate outcome cannot at present be determined."
The financial statements are presented in Sterling and all
values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (GBP'000), except
when otherwise indicated.
