challenge the Group's interpretation of the
legislation applied and its position as related to the accuracy of tax
calculation and payment, an appropriate provision is formed in the
consolidated financial statements. 
 
5.       Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
(continued) 
 
Litigations 
 
The Group's management exercises considerable judgment in measuring and
recognizing provisions and the exposure to contingent liabilities related to
pending litigations or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated
settlement, mediation, arbitration or government regulation, as well as other
contingent liabilities. 
 
Judgment is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will
succeed, or a liability will arise, and quantifying the possible range of the
final settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainties in this evaluation
process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated
provision. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes
available, primarily with the support of internal specialists, if available,
or with the support of outside consultants, such as actuaries or legal
counsel. Revisions to the estimates may significantly affect future operating
results. 
 
6.       Acquisition of non-controlling interest 
 
In 2014, the Group acquired an additional 11.59% interest in the voting shares
of its major operating subsidiary PJSC Geotech Seismic Services, having
increased its ownership interest to 100.00%, and 1.53% in the share capital of
LLC Boguchanskaya Geophisicheskaya Expeditsiya, having increased its ownership
interest to 97.14%. 
 
Cash consideration of 452,829 was paid to the non-controlling shareholders and
21,342 expenses were incurred in relation to this transaction. As of 31
December 2014 all obligations in relation to the acquisition of
non-controlling interest were settled in full. 
 
Following is a schedule of additional interests acquired by the Group in its
operational subsidiaries: 
 
 Cash consideration paid to non-controlling shareholders and related expenses  474,171      
 Carrying value of the additional interests                                    (1,055,708)  
 Difference recognized in retained earnings within Equity                      (581,537)    
 
 
In 2015, the Group acquired an additional 2.87% in the share capital of LLC
Boguchanskaya Geophisicheskaya Expeditsiya for 5,603, having increased its
ownership interest to 100.00%, and approximately 1% of OJSC Orenburgskaya
Geophisicheskaya Expeditsiya for 646, having increased its ownership interest
to 73.65%. As of 31 December 2015 all obligations in relation to the
acquisition of this non-controlling interest were settled in full. Also during
2015 the Group paid advance for acquisition of non-controlling interest in the
amount of 224,470. 
 
7.       Acquisition of assets 
 
In September 2014 the Group has completed acquisition of LLC Luidor, an entity
owning an exploration and production license for the Nitchemyu-Syninskiy
oilfield (Komi republic). The entity has been purchased for the purpose of
performing seismic services with an aim for consequent resale of the asset
with profit. Consideration comprised 495,000 and was settled in full amount by
December 2014 to the unrelated party. 
 
7.       Acquisition of assets (continued) 
 
The acquisition was accounted for as assets acquisition which did not meet a
definition of a "business" acquisition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. 
 
The Group recognised the individual identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. 
 
The cost of the group of assets was allocated to the individual identifiable
assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date
of purchase and comprised the following as of the date of acquisition: 
 
 Exploration and evaluation assets  216,624  
 Long-term loan issued              274,443  
 Other assets                       14,075   
 Liabilities                        (9,530)  
 
 
Fair value of the exploration and production license was determined by the
independent appraisal and accounted within exploration and evaluation assets
in accordance with IFRS 6. The loan issued to a third party, is denominated in
Russian Rubles, matures on 31 December 2016 and bears interest rate of 10%
p.a. 
 
The difference between the consideration paid and the fair value of the
acquired assets and liabilities of 612 was charged to the profit and loss. 
 
As of 31 December 2015 the Group considered that significant decline in the
world oil prices is an indicator of impairment of the exploration and
evaluation assets. Due to the existence of the impairment indicators, the
Group performed impairment test. Carrying amount of the assets was compared to
the recoverable amount which was identified using market approach: the Group
performed analysis of the deals with comparable assets that have taken place
during last four years and calculated average price per 1 ton of reserves.
Difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of 41,584
was recognized within Impairment of Exploration and evaluation asset in the
Consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. 
 
As of 31 December 2015 Exploration and evaluation assets amounted to 175,119. 
 
8.       Segment information 
 
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on
their products and services, and has two reportable operating segments which

In 2015, the Group earned transaction revenues from operations each exceeding
10 percent of the Group's consolidated revenues with three major customers in
the amounts of 2,852,689, 2,482,106 and 2,385,258, reported within revenues
from field seismic operations (2014: three customers in the amounts of
3,213,713, 3,110,614 and 2,067,331). 
 
9.       Goodwill 
 
For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired as a result of the business
combination was attributable to one separate cash-generating unit - Seismic
works. 
 
As at 31 December 2015 and 2014, the carrying amount of goodwill was
3,760,082. 
 
Recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) has been determined by
calculating value-in-use using cash-flow projections up to 2021 and terminal
value of working capital and non-current assets as of the projection period
end. A pre-tax discount rate of 22% (2014: 18.9%) derived from the weighted
average cost of capital has been applied to the projected cash-flows. These
calculations are based on 6-year projections as this period enables to
harmonize cash flows for each of year of the projected period and all the
assumptions in relation to production volumes and pricing growth rates are
determined by reference to management's past experience and industry
forecasts. The cash flow forecasts beyond the six-year period were
extrapolated using perpetuity formula and 5.0% terminal growth rate (2014:
0.0%). 
 
9.       Goodwill (continued) 
 
The long-term increase in the weighted average cost of capital above 23% or
decrease of terminal growth below 3% may have a significant effect on the
discounted cash flows and may lead to the goodwill impairment. 
 
In calculating the value-in-use of the assets, the following assumptions have
been regarded as most significant: marginal income, discount rates and the
growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the planned period. 
 
Inherent risks in the oil service industry are directly related to economic
conditions in the oil sector shaped by global oil prices. The key factors of
risk include slumping oil prices, which cause oil companies to sharply cut
their exploration costs and minor investors to quit the industry. 
 
In addition, these trends are exacerbated by deteriorating customer solvency
leading to growth in receivables and a slower turnover or shortage of working
capital and ultimately triggering growth in payables. 
 
As at 31 December 2015, the Group determined that the recoverable amount of
seismic CGU exceeds the carrying amount of the unit and, therefore, no
impairment on this unit was recognized. 
 
With regard to the assessment of value in use cash-generating units,
management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key
assumptions would cause the carrying value of the unit to materially exceed
its recoverable amount.

In the context of the Group's current structure, tax losses and current tax
assets of the different subsidiaries may not be set off against current tax
liabilities and taxable profits of other subsidiaries and, accordingly, taxes
may accrue even where there is a net consolidated tax loss. Therefore,
deferred tax asset of one subsidiary of the Group is not offset against
deferred tax liability of another subsidiary. 
 
14.     Income tax (continued) 
 
In Cyprus income tax is 12.5% and losses in respect of the years up to 2009,
which were not set off against profits up to the years 2014, may not be
carried forward to the year 2015 according to Cyprus tax legislation. 
 
As far as the Russian subsidiaries are concerned, tax loss carry forwards
available for utilization expire in 2017-2025. 
 
Certain deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or credits for
which no deferred tax asset is recognised as of 31 December 2015 amounts to

At 31 December 2015, there was no recognised deferred tax liability (2014:
Nil) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of the Group's

investments in associates, for which no deferred tax asset is recognised
amount to 291,261 (31 December 2014: 215,364).
