WENTWORTH RESOURCES LIMITED Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows
United States \$000s, unless otherwise stated
United States \$000s unless otherwise stated
1. Nature of business
Wentworth Resources Limited ("Wentworth" or the "Company") is an East Africa-focused oil and natural gas explorer and producer. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Wentworth Group of Companies" or the "Group"). Wentworth is actively involved in exploring for oil and gas and in developing commercial opportunities for identified hydrocarbon resources, including Methanol, Ammonia and Urea. Wentworth is incorporated in Canada and shares of the Company are widely held and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (ticker: WRL) and the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker: WRL).
The Company has offices located in Calgary, Canada and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
2. Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain financing to fund the ongoing exploration and development capital programs until such time as cash flow from operations is sufficient to fund its future exploration and development program. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain the financing required to meet its ongoing commitments for the exploration and development programs.
At September 30, 2014, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of \$14,288 to fund its planned exploration and corporate activities prior to the commencement of cash flow from the Mnazi Bay Concession in Tanzania which is expected during Q1 2015. In addition, during Q3 2014 the Company agreed the terms for two credit facilities totaling \$26 million with a Tanzanian bank. Execution of the loan agreements is expected during Q4 2014 pending fulfilling conditions precedent, including the execution of security documentation to the bank's satisfaction. Following the execution of the final credit facility agreements, the Company plans to use the funds to repay an existing \$6 million loan and to fund the Company's share of the field infrastructure and drilling of one development well within the Mnazi Bay Concession. Should additional exploration and development activity take place prior to generating cash flow during Q1 2015 or should the generation of cash flows be delayed beyond Q1 2015, additional funding may be necessary.
The potential need to obtain financing, creates doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

3. Summary of accounting policies
Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by management and prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, except as noted below, and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure based on methods as set out in the December 31, 2013 financial statements. These methods have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Interim Financial Statements.
New standards adopted in 2014
The following new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") or International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") were adopted as of January 1, 2014 without any material impact to the Company's Interim Financial Statements: IAS 32 Financial Instruments and IFRIC 21 Levies.
New Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC and are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. These standards have not been applied in preparing these Interim Financial Statements. Those which may be relevant to the Company are described below:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2014) is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9 provides guidelines for recognizing and measuring financial assets and liabilities and other contracts to buy or sell nonfinancial items. The objective is to provide readers with information for the assessment of amounts, timing and probability of the entity's future cash flows. This Standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its results of operations and financial position and is assessing when adoption will occur.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 17, 2014. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included in the annual consolidated financial statements.
United States \$000s unless otherwise stated
3. Summary of accounting policies (continued)
Credit risk
Wentworth's maximum credit risk is equal to the carrying value of its cash and cash equivalents, trade, other and long-term receivables. Trade and other receivables are comprised predominantly of amounts due from Tanzanian government departments and entities, tax input credits for Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Canada and Value Added Tax (VAT) in Tanzania and Mozambique. The Company's ongoing exposure to receivables from TANESCO is connected with the gas sales from the Mnazi Bay Concession to the 18 MW power plant located in Mtwara, Tanzania. At September 30, 2014 the Mnazi Bay Concession partners were owed twelve months of gas sales, with \$1,873 owing to Wentworth.
At September 30, 2014, an undiscounted receivable of \$36,209 is due from Tanzania Petroleum Development Company ("TPDC"), which is a partner in the Mnazi Bay Concession. In settlement of this receivable the Company receives a significant portion of TPDC's share of gas production from the Mnazi Bay Concession directly from the operator of the Mnazi Bay Concession before TPDC receives cash from its share of revenue. There is a risk that future production from the Mnazi Bay Concession may not be sufficient to settle the receivable and, should such a determination be made, a provision against the receivable will be made once gas deliveries to the pipeline commence and reserves are assigned to the Mnazi Bay gas fields.
At September 30, 2014, an undiscounted receivable of \$6,511 related to the Company's disposal of transmission and distribution assets, and the costs associated with the Mtwara Energy Project incurred by a wholly owned subsidiary of Wentworth, continues to be acknowledged as payable by the Tanzanian government. On February 6, 2012, the Company, TANESCO, TPDC and the Ministry of Energy and Minerals ("MEM") reached an agreement that the Company's cost of historical operations in respect of the Mtwara Energy Project should be reimbursed. Wentworth is currently in discussions with TANESCO, TPDC and MEM on agreeing on a method of reimbursement. There is a risk that the cost reimbursement method may not be in cash, but rather in a long-term recovery from other sources.
Financial instrument classification and measurement
The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including expected interest rate, share prices, and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
Level 3 – Valuation in this level are those with inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
The Company's long-term receivables and other long-term liabilities are considered Level 2 measurements. The Company does not have any fair value measurements considered as Level 3.

12. Contingencies
On July 4, 2014, Tanzania Revenue Agency ("TRA") issued tax assessment certificates to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Wentworth Gas Limited, covering the years 2008 to 2012 and demanding payment of unpaid payroll tax on foreign personnel costs and withholding tax on imported services and accounting transactions. A liability for withholding tax, plus late interest charges, of Tsh366 million (\$212) has been recognized in the financial statements in 2014. The Company issued Statements of Appeals to the Tax Revenue Appeals Board on August 18, 2014 covering the remaining assessed amount of Tsh6,650 million (\$3,857) inclusive of interest charges of Tsh3,313 million (\$1,921). The Company believes it has a strong case against the remaining assessed amount and accordingly has not recorded a provision at September 30, 2014. A date has not yet been set by the Tax Revenue Appeals Board to hear the tax appeals.

Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
To the shareholders of Wentworth Resources Limited
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Wentworth Resources Limited as at September 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the ninemonth periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("the condensed consolidated interim financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at September 30, 2014, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the condensed consolidated financial statements, which describes that there is no certainty that Wentworth Resources Limited will be able to obtain the financing required to meet its ongoing commitments for exploration and development programs. This condition, as described in Note 2, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about Wentworth Resources Limited's ability to continue as a going concern.
