The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the Listing Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority ("FSA"). These standards are subject to interpretations issued from time to time by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC"). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified for fair values where required under IFRS.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also necessitates management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

Note 30 to the financial statements include the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital, its financial risk management objectives and its exposure to credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group believes that it has sufficient financial resources to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account reasonable changes in trading performance (including oil price), show that the Company can operate with its current cash holding.

The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

   3.     adoption of new and revised standards 

Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not effective yet and have not been early adopted by the Group:

-- IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income - Amendments to IAS 1 (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

The amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). Items that could be reclassified to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, net gain on hedge of net investment, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net movement on cash flow hedges and net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified (for example, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans and revaluation of land and buildings). The amendment affects presentation only and has no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

   --        IAS 19 Employee Benefits (effective on or after 1 January 2013) 

The revised standard will have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

-- IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

The revised standard will have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

-- IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32(effective on or after 1 January 2014)

These amendments clarify the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off". The amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group's financial position or performance.

   --        IFRS 1 Government Loans - Amendment to IFRS 1 (effective on or after 1 January 2013) 

The amendments will have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

-- IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendment to IFRS 7 (effective on or after 1 January 2013)

These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements. The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32. These amendments will have no impact the Group's financial position or performance.

   --        IFRS 9 Financial instruments (effective on or after 1 January 2015) 

IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the IASB's work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group's financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.

   --        IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements (effective 1 January 2013) 

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities.

IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled and therefore are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. Based on the preliminary analyses performed, IFRS 10 is not expected to have any impact on the currently held investments of the Group.

   --        IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective 1 January 2013) 

The new standard will have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

   --        IFRS 12 Disclosure if Interests in Other entities (effective 1 January 2013) 

IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. The new standard will have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

   --        IFRS 13 Fair value measurement (effective 1 January 2013) 

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance, but based on the preliminary analyses, no material impact is expected.

During the year ended 31 December2012 the Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Annual Improvements May 2012

These improvements will not have an impact on the Group, but include:

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

This improvement clarifies that an entity that stopped applying IFRS in the past and chooses, or is required, to apply IFRS, has the option to re-apply IFRS 1. If IFRS 1 is not re-applied, an entity must retrospectively restate its financial statements as if it had never stopped applying IFRS.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is the previous period.

IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment

This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments, Presentation

This improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.

IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The amendment aligns the disclosure requirements for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures.

These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the

following amendments to IFRS effective as of 1 January 2012:

-- IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income - Amendments to IAS 1 (Effective on or after 1 July 2012)
