Annual Report On Remuneration 2015
Remuneration Committee Report
The Remuneration Committee is committed to principles of accountability and
transparency to ensure that remuneration arrangements demonstrate a clear link
between reward and performance. In its work, the Remuneration Committee
considers fully the principles and provisions of the Code. In designing
performance-related remuneration schemes for executive Directors, the
Remuneration Committee has considered and applied Schedule A of the Code.
Governance
The Remuneration Committee is appointed by the Board from the non-executive
Directors of the Company. The Remuneration Committee's terms of reference
include all matters indicated by the Code. They are reviewed annually by the
Remuneration Committee and any changes are then referred to the Board for
approval. The terms of reference of the Remuneration Committee are published on
the Company's website, www.cadoganpetroleum.com, and are also available from
the Company Secretary at the Registered Office.
The Remuneration Committee consists of Mr Enrico Testa, Mr Zev Furst and Mr
Gilbert Lehmann. At the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, the Chief
Executive Officer is invited to attend meetings when appropriate, but is not
present when his own remuneration is being discussed. None of the directors are
involved in deciding their own remuneration. The Remuneration Committee is also
supported by the Company Secretary.
Responsibilities
In summary, the Remuneration Committee's responsibilities, as set out in its
terms of reference, are as follows:
* To determine and agree with the Board the policy for the remuneration of
the executive Directors, the Company Secretary and other members of
executive management as appropriate.
* To consider the design, award levels, performance measures and targets for
any annual or long-term incentives and approve any payments made and awards
vesting under such schemes.
* Within the terms of the agreed remuneration policy, to determine the total
individual remuneration package of each executive Director and other senior
executives including bonuses, incentive payments and share options or other
share awards.
* To ensure that contractual terms on termination, and any payments made, are
fair to the individual and the Company, that failure is not rewarded and
that the duty to mitigate loss is fully recognised.
Overview
As a result of its work during the year, the Remuneration Committee has
concluded that it has acted in accordance with its terms of reference. The
chairman of the Remuneration Committee will be available at the Annual General
Meeting to answer any questions about the work of the Committee. The Chairman
and Executive Directors of the Company have a regular dialogue with analysts
and substantial shareholders, which includes the subject of Directors'
Remuneration. The outcome of these discussions are reported to the Board and
discussed in detail both there and during meetings of the Remuneration
Committee. Mr Lehmann, as the Senior Independent Director, is available to
shareholders who have concerns that they feel would be inappropriate to raise
via the Chairman or Executive Directors.
The Remuneration Committee unanimously recommends that shareholders vote to
approve the Annual Report on Remuneration at the 2016 Annual General Meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report and
the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year. The Directors are required by law to prepare the Group
financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted by the European Union and Article 4 of the
International Accounting Standards ("IAS") regulation and have also elected to
prepare the Parent Company financial statements under IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union. Under Company law, the Directors must not approve the Financial
Statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Company and Group and of the profit or loss for that
period. In preparing the Company and Group's financial statements, IAS
Regulation requires that Directors:
* properly select and apply accounting policies;
* present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that
provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;
* provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific
requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the
impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the
Company's and Group's financial position and financial performance; and
* make an assessment of the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are
sufficient to show and explain the Company and Group's transactions and
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
Company and Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for
preparing a Strategic Report, Directors' Report, Annual Report on Remuneration,
Directors' Remuneration Policy and Corporate Governance Statement that comply
with that law and those regulations.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the
corporate and financial information included on the Company's website,
www.cadoganpetroleum.com. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the
preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.
Responsibility Statement of the Directors in respect of the Annual Report
We confirm to the best of our knowledge:
(1) the financial statements, prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, give a true and
fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of
the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole; and
(2) the Strategic Report, includes a fair review of the development and
performance of the business and the position of the Company and the
undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face; and
(3) the annual report and the financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair,
balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for the
shareholders to assess the Group's position, performance, business model and
strategy.
On behalf of the Board
Zev Furst
Chairman
25 April 2016
Independant Auditor's Report To The Members Of Cadogan Petroleum Plc
Opinion on financial statements of Cadogan Petroleum Plc
In our opinion:
* the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the
Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 December 2015 and of
the Group's loss for the year then ended;
* the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union;
* the Parent Company financial statements have been properly prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and as applied in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
* the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Group financial
statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.
The financial statements comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Company Statement
of Changes in Equity, the Group and Company Cash Flow Statements and the
related notes 1 - 42.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is
applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and, as regards the
Parent Company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern and the directors' assessment of the principal risks that would
threaten the solvency or liquidity of the group
We have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to:
* the Directors' confirmation on page 27 that they have carried out a robust
assessment of the principal risks facing the Group, including those that
would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or
liquidity;
* the disclosures on pages 13 to 15 that describe those risks and explain how
they are being managed or mitigated;
* the Directors' statement in note 3 to the financial statements about
whether they considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing them and their identification of any material
uncertainties to the Group's ability to continue to do so over a period of
at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements;
and
* the Director's explanation on page 27 as to how they have assessed the
prospects of the Group, over what period they have done so and why they
consider that period to be appropriate, and their statement as to whether
they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue
in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of
their assessment.
We agreed with the Directors' adoption of the going concern basis of accounting
and we did not identify any such material uncertainties. However, because not
all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a
guarantee as to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
Independence
We are required to comply with the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical
Standards for Auditors and we confirm that we are independent of the Group and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those
standards. We also confirm we have not provided any of the prohibited non-audit
services referred to in those standards.

have aggregated our explanation of risks and the scope for the recoverability
of intangible exploration and evaluation (E&E) assets, development of producing

investments in joint ventures into the recoverability of non-current assets.
The description of risks above should be read in conjunction with the
significant issues considered by the Audit Committee and discussed on page
32-34.
Our audit procedures relating to these matters were designed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and not to express an opinion
on individual accounts or disclosures. Our opinion on the financial statements
is not modified with respect to any of the risks described above, and we do not
express an opinion on these individual matters.
Our application of materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the financial
statements that makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced. We use materiality both in
planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
When determining materiality, among other factors we considered the Group's
pre-tax loss in the current period as well as in recent periods; the occurrence
of any non-recurring or fluctuating gains and losses (such as exploration and
evaluation assets impairments) and the level of consolidated shareholders'
equity.
We determined our materiality based on the expected consolidated shareholders'
equity as at 31 December 2015. Consistent with the prior year, we used
consolidated shareholders' equity to determine materiality as the entity has a
history of operating losses. Materiality was determined to be $2,020,000, which
was 3% of expected consolidated shareholders' equity. Subsequently, a
non-current assets impairment of $19.3 million was recognised which impacted
consolidated shareholders' equity and thus the benchmark based on which we
determined our materiality initially. We assessed whether the scope of the
business had changed as a result of this impairment and determined that it had
not. Therefore we consider it appropriate to retain our original materiality of
$2,020,000, which is now 3.7% of consolidated shareholders' equity (2014:
$2,700,000 which was 3% of consolidated shareholders' equity).
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to the Committee all
audit differences in excess of $40,000 (2014: $54,000), as well as differences
below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative
grounds. We also report to the Audit Committee on disclosure matters that we
identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.
An overview of the scope of our audit
Our Group audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the group and its
environment, including group-wide controls, and assessing the risks of material
misstatement at the group level. Based on that assessment, we have included in
the group audit scope the full audit of all significant entities in Ukraine and
in the UK. These businesses account for over 90% (2014: over 90%) of the
Group's net assets, revenue and loss before tax. The group audit team was led
by the Deloitte UK Senior Statutory Auditor and managers and included junior
audit members and senior tax specialists from Deloitte Ukraine as all assets
are located there and appropriate knowledge of local legislation and tax
regulations is required.
The Senior Statutory Auditor and managers from the Deloitte UK visited the
Ukraine during the planning and fieldwork stages of the audit.
At the parent entity level we also tested the consolidation process and carried
out analytical procedures to confirm our conclusion that there were no
significant risks of material misstatement of the aggregated financial
information of the remaining balances not subject to audit or audit of
specified account balances.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion:
• the part of the Directors' Remuneration Report to be audited
has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006; and
• the information given in the Strategic Report and the
Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Adequacy of explanations received and accounting records
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our
opinion:
* we have not received all the information and explanations we require for
our audit; or
* adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or
returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not
visited by us; or
* the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the
accounting records and returns.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters
Directors' remuneration
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are also required to report if in our opinion
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration have not been made, or the part
of the Directors' Remuneration Report to be audited is not in agreement with
the accounting records and returns. We have nothing to report arising from
these matters.
Our duty to read other information in the Annual Report
Under International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland), we are required to
report to you if, in our opinion, information in the annual report is:
* materially inconsistent with the information in the audited financial
statements; or
* apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with,
our knowledge of the Group acquired in the course of performing our audit;
or
* otherwise misleading.
In particular, we are required to consider whether we have identified any
inconsistencies between our knowledge acquired during the audit and the
Directors' statement that they consider the annual report is fair, balanced
and understandable and whether the annual report appropriately discloses
those matters that we communicated to the audit committee which we consider
should have been disclosed. We confirm that we have not identified any such
inconsistencies or misleading statements.
Other matter
Although not required to do so, the directors have voluntarily chosen to make a
corporate governance statement detailing the extent of their compliance with
the UK Corporate Governance Code. We reviewed the part of the Corporate
Governance Statement relating to the company's compliance with certain
provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. We have nothing to report
arising from our review.
Respective responsibilities of Directors and Auditor
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement, the
Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and
for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is
to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with
applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those
standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical
Standards for Auditors. We also comply with International Standard on Quality
Control 1 (UK and Ireland). Our audit methodology and tools aim to ensure that
our quality control procedures are effective, understood and applied. Our
quality controls and systems include our dedicated professional standards
review team and independent partner reviews.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance
with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are
required to state to them in an auditor's report and/or those further matters
we have expressly agreed to report to them on in our engagement letter and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we
have formed.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or
error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are
appropriate to the Group's and the Parent Company's circumstances and have been
consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and the overall
presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the
