denominated assets and
liabilities held by Stimul-T whose functional currency is Russian Rouble. As
part of the consolidation process in prior periods up to 3 July 2014 those
Russian Rouble carrying amounts were converted to US Dollars, the functional
currency of PetroNeft, at each period end and the unrealised gain or loss was
then recognised through the statement of other comprehensive income and
included in the currency translation reserve rather than the retained loss
reserve. With the completion of the Licence 61 Farmout in July 2014 this
accumulated loss was realised and therefore transferred to the Income
Statement and included in the calculation of loss on disposal arising from the
Licence 61 Farmout.

The currency translation adjustment results from the devaluation of the
Russian Rouble during the year. All Russian Rouble carrying values in
Stimul-T, the 100% subsidiary of WorldAce are converted to US Dollars at each
period end. The resulting gain or loss is recognised through other
comprehensive income and transferred to the currency translation reserve. The
Russian Rouble depreciated significantly against the US Dollar during the
period moving from RUB34.2:US$1 at 3 July 2014 to RUB56.5:US$1 at 31 December
2014.
