dividend (2013: nil).
c) On 13 November 2013, the Company issued 29,470,000 ordinary shares at a
price of £0.45 per share with a nominal value of $4,745,194. The total
increase in the share premium reserve regarding the issue was $16,608,179
(gross). Expenses of $428,795 have been set off against the share premium
reserve.
d) On 3 July 2013 First Oil subscribed for 30% of the shares in Bowleven
(Kenya) Limited. Bowleven (Kenya) Limited is included in the current year
group accounts as a subsidiary with the 30% First Oil shareholding recognised
as a non-controlling interest.
e) Interest free funding to Bowleven (Kenya) Limited received from the
non-controlling interest is recorded at fair value with any difference between
cash received and the fair value being recognised in equity. Fair value is
measured based on exploration, drilling and development risk and the length of
time required to reach production and generate cashflows. Based on these
valuation techniques the fair value of the interest free funding to Bowleven
(Kenya) Limited is recorded at nil. The fair value will be re-assessed as
these risks reduce and any resulting adjustment to fair value recognised
through profit or loss.
f) Under the second exploration phase of the Bomono PSC there is a two well
commitment for which a $16 million non-completion payment may become callable
by the Cameroon authorities if not fulfilled. As at 30 June 2014 the Group
has disclosed a contingent liability for this potential non-completion
payment. Given the current progress on Bomono, as described in the post
balance sheet events note above (2f), we fully expect the work programme to be
fulfilled thus releasing the $16 million contingent liability previously
disclosed for this commitment.
