Background information

C.O. Cyprus Opportunity Energy Public Company Ltd (the "Company") was incorporated in Cyprus on 10 February 2012 (registration no. HE 301167) under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. On 17 July 2012, the Company was listed on the Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

The primary intention of the Company is to participate in oil and/or gas exploration and upstream activities in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus. The Company's upstream activities refer to the searching for and the recovery and production of oil and natural gas. Such activities involve the searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the raw oil and natural gas to the surface. In Plan B the Company's management will leverage its strong business network in the oil and gas upstream field to pursue participation in other projects in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus and potentially in oil and gas projects around the world.

On 11 May 2012, the consortium, C.O. Cyprus Opportunity Energy Public Company Limited together with AGR Energy AS ("AGR"), submitted applications for two offshore hydrocarbons exploration licenses, blocks 2 and 8, through the tender for the 2nd Licensing Round offshore Cyprus issued by the government of Cyprus.

AGR is responsible for planning, supervising, managing and undertaking the proposed exploration operations including interfacing with contractors and carrying out various exploration operations.

The Company and AGR have entered into an Operating and Farm-In Agreement effective as of 11 May 2012. According to this agreement, the applications for two licences as set forth above have been submitted by the Company as holder of 70% of the license and by AGR as operator and holder of 30% of the licences. The Company and AGR may, subject to applicable law and any required approval, enter into future agreements for joining of third parties as licence holders, should any of the licences be obtained.

On 30 October 2012, the Ministers Council of the Cyprus Government decided the preliminary granting of four offshore deep water oil and gas exploration licenses, blocks 2,3,9 and 11. On December 2012, the Ministers of Council of the Cyprus Government also granted the license for block 10.

On 31 October 2012 an extension of the validity period of the applications submitted by the Consortium was requested by the Ministry of Energy Commerce, Industry and Tourism until 26 May 2013. On 1 November 2012 this request was approved by the Consortium.

Outlook

The Board of Directors is awaiting progress with the Cyprus Supreme Court, with respect to the Company's recourse for Block 8, for which the Company had applied for. Should the Company fail to obtain the license and/or decides to abandon a license/s in the future, then the Company's strategy is to join as a partner to other license holders and/or purchase shares of another entity which is involved in activity of oil and gas exploration. In addition, the Company maintains as its objective to perform and/or participate in other projects dealing with exploration, production and marketing of oil and gas, to be defined from time to time. However, the Company may fail in obtaining the abovementioned strategy and objectives. The business plan of the Company assumes that the Company will be successful in entering the upstream oil and gas industry.

However, should the Company fail to obtain the license for block 8, the Company has a Plan B as is described in the Explanatory Statement.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Company as of 1 January 2016:

IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative (Amendment)

The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what information to disclose and how to structure it in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The narrow-focus amendments to IAS clarify, rather than significantly change, existing IAS 1 requirements. The amendments relate to materiality, order of the notes, subtotals and disaggregation, accounting policies and presentation of items of other comprehensive income (OCI) arising from equity accounted Investments.

3.1 Basis of preparation and changes in accounting policies (continued)

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures (continued)

IAS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible assets (Amendment): Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendment provides additional guidance on how the depreciation or amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets should be calculated. This amendment clarifies the principle in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, the ratio of revenue generated to total revenue expected to be generated cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets.

IFRS 11 Joint arrangements (Amendment): Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. IFRS 11 addresses the accounting for interests in joint ventures and joint operations. The amendment adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business in accordance with IFRS and specifies the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs $2012 - 2014$ Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations; The amendment clarifies $\blacktriangleright$ that changing from one of the disposal methods to the other (through sale or through distribution to the owners) should not be considered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is therefore no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5. The amendment also clarifies that changing the disposal method does not change the date of classification.

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. Also, the amendment clarifies that the IFRS 7 disclosures relating to the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the condensed interim financial report.

LAS 19 Employee Benefits: The amendment clarifies that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used.

LAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting: The amendment clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the greater interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The Board specified that the other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. If users do not have access to the other information in this manner, then the interim financial report is incomplete.

The adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company.

C.O. Cyprus Opportunity Energy Public Company Limited

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 June 2016

3.2 Significant accounting policies

Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency

Functional currency and presentation currency:

The presentation currency of the interim condensed financial statements is the United States Dollar. The functional currency is the currency that best reflects the economic environment in which the Company operates and conducts its transactions. It is separately determined for the Company, and is used to measure its financial position and the results of its activities. The Company's functional currency is the United States Dollar.

Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:

Transactions denominated in foreign currency (any currency different to the functional currency) are recorded upon initial recognition according to the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. After initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the end of each reporting period into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.

The exchange differences, not including those capitalized to qualifying assets or carried to equity in hedging transactions, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are presented at cost according to the exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and presented at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Finance income

Finance income includes interest income which is recognised based on an accrual basis.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Finance expenses include interest expense on loans, finance leases and bank overdrafts as well as bank charges. Finance expenses are recognised as expenses in the period in which they fall due. Finance expenses related to improvements of the vessel, prior to its initial operation, are capitalised.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Company's statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

i) Financial assets:

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, except for investments at fair value through profit or loss in respect of which transaction costs are recorded in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, the accounting treatment of investments in financial assets is based on their classification into one of the following four categories:

  • $\bullet$ financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
  • held-to-maturity investments; $\bullet$
  • loans and receivables; and $\bullet$
  • available-for-sale financial assets.

3.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities mainly include trade and other payables.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or with a maturity of more than three months, but which are redeemable on demand without penalty and which form part of the Company's cash management.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
  • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation $\bullet$ to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or
  • the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has $\bullet$ transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

17

3.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Taxes on income

Taxes on income in the statement of income comprise current and deferred taxes. Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from items which are recognized directly in other comprehensive income or in equity. In such cases, the tax effect is also recognized in the relevant item.

Current taxes:

The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxes:

Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the taxes are reversed in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxes in profit or loss represent the changes in the carrying amount of deferred tax balances during the reporting period, excluding changes attributable to items recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Also, temporary differences (such as carry forward losses) for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized are reassessed and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that their recoverability has become probable. Any resulting reduction or reversal is recognized in the line item, "taxes on income".

Taxes that would apply in the event of the disposal of investments in investees have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as long as the disposal of the investments in investees is not probable in the foreseeable future. Also, deferred taxes that would apply in the event of distribution of earnings by investees as dividends have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, since the distribution of dividends does not involve an additional tax liability or since it is the Company's policy not to initiate distribution of dividends that triggers an additional tax liability.

All deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively. Deferred taxes are offset in the statement of financial position if there is a legally enforceable right to offset a current tax asset against a current tax liability and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxpayer and the same taxation authority.

Dividends

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Interim dividends are deducted from equity when they are declared and approved by the Company's directors.

Oil and natural gas exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Pre-licence costs

Pre-licence costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

3.2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

Share-based payments

Employees (including Directors) of the Company may receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense (Note 15). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit or loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense (Note 15).

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions for which vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

$4.$ Judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.

Judgments

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the interim condensed financial statements:

$\bullet$ Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
