The Group's operations are conducted primarily outside the UK. The most
appropriate tax rate for the Group is therefore considered to be 18 per cent
(2014: 18 per cent), the rate of profit tax in Ukraine which is the primary
source of revenue for the Group. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated
at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

As at 31 December 2015 the Group recognised short-term provision in respect of
possible corporate tax obligation in respect of dispute on classification
taxable income and expenses (note 26).

The taxation charge for the year can be reconciled to the loss per the income
statement as follows:

15. Loss per ordinary share

 Basic loss per Ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the
year attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of
Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The calculation of the basic loss
per share is based on the following data:

During the year additions to the exploration and evaluation assets include $nil
million (2014: $0.1 million) of capitalised depreciation of development and
production assets used in exploration and evaluation activities.

As at 31 December 2015, due to the expiration of the Pirkovska licence and
uncertainty as for the timing for the licence re-awarding due to the change in
the legislative process and respective delays in responses from the government
authorities, the Group decided to impair E&E assets of Pirkovska licence in the
amount of $10.1 million.

The carrying amount of E&E assets as at 31 December 2015 of $2.7 million (2014:
$3.6 million) mainly relates to Bitlyanska licence. As of 31 December 2015
management of the Group carried out the assessment of the Bitlyanska licences
value in use and recognised no impairment as recoverable amount was higher than
the book value of the assets. Key assumptions used in the impairment assessment
were as follows:

  * Future gas price was assumed to be flat $210, real per m3;
   
  * The pre-tax discount rate used was 24%, real.

Liability as at 31 December 2015                -                            

At 31 December 2015, the Group had the following unused tax losses available
for offset against future taxable profits:  

                                                                                     
                                                              2015        2014       
                                                              $'000       $'000      
                                                                                     
UK                                                            9,054       10,274     
                                                                                     
Ukraine                                                       78,859      69,010     
                                                                                     
                                                              87,913      79,284     

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these tax losses
owing to the uncertainty that profits will be available in future periods
against which they can be utilised.

The Group's unused tax losses of $9.1 million (2014: $10.3 million) relating to
losses incurred in the UK are available to shelter future non-trading profits
arising within the Company. These losses are not subject to a time restriction
on expiry.

Unused tax losses incurred by Ukraine subsidiaries amount to $78.9 million
(2014: $69.0 million). Under general provisions, these losses may be carried
forward indefinitely to be offset against any type of taxable income arising
from the same company of origination. Tax losses may not be surrendered from
one Ukraine subsidiary to another. However, in the past, Ukrainian legislation
has been imposed which restricted the carry forward of tax losses. During 2011
a new tax legislation in Ukraine was implemented which resulted in the
restriction to recognition of accumulated losses at 1 April 2011. Starting 1
January 2012 only 25% of accumulated losses as at this date are allowed to be
utilised each year for the period from 2012 till 2015 in the calculation of
taxable income of the company. Tax losses accumulated after 1 January 2012 have
no restrictions.

24. Short-term borrowing

In October 2014 the Group started to use short-term borrowings as a financing
facility for its trading activities. Borrowings are represented by credit line
drawn in short-term tranches in UAH at Ukrainian bank, 100% subsidiary of UK
bank. Credit line is secured by $20 million of cash balance placed at the
European bank in the UK.

Outstanding amount as at 31 December 2015 was $12.9 million (2014: $17.3
million) with effective interest rate 20%p.a. (2014: 16%p.a.). Interest is paid
monthly and as at 31 December 2015 accrued interest amounted to $0.2 million
(2014: $0.2 million).

Outstanding amount as at 31 December 2015 was $12.9 million (2014: $17.3

million (2014: $0.2 million).

to be supplied in January 2016.

Trading payables represent liability to suppliers for the natural gas supply in
December 2015.

Trade creditors and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for
capital work programme purchases and ongoing costs. The average credit period
taken for trade purchases is 24 days (2014: 91 days). The Group has financial
risk management policies to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit
timeframe.

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other payables
approximates to their fair value. No interest is generally charged on
outstanding balances.

26. Provisions

The provisions at 31 December 2015 comprise of $2.3 million of probable tax
obligation and decommissioning provision.

As at 31 December 2015 the Group recognised short-term provision in respect of
possible corporate tax obligation in respect of dispute on classification
taxable income and expenses. The Group appealed to the Tribunal, however given
the uncertainty around the final position the provision of $1.3 million (£0.9
million) and up to $0.2 million (£0.1 million) of interest was recognised in
the financial statements.

In accordance with the Group's environmental policy and applicable legal
requirements, the Group intends to restore the sites it is working on after
completing exploration or development activities. 

A short-term provision of $6 thousand (2014: $0.6 million) has been made for
decommissioning costs, which are expected to be incurred within the next year
as a result of the demobilisation of drilling equipment and respective site
restoration. In addition to that there isa short-term provision for
decommissioning costs at Zagoryanska licence of $3.7 million and at Pokrovska
licence of  $1.9 million in the account of joint ventures (note 19).

The long-term provision recognised in respect of decommissioning reflects
management's estimate of the net present value of the Group's share of the
expenditure expected to be incurred in this respect. This amount has been
recognised as a provision at its net present value, using a discount rate that
reflects the market assessment of time value of money at that date, and the
unwinding of the discount on the provision has been charged to the income
statement. These expenditures are expected to be incurred at the end of the
producing life of each field in the removal and decommissioning of the
facilities currently in place (currently estimated to be between 1 and 17
years).
