cash as of June10 Oct 2016 09:43
The cash balance as at 30 June 2016 was $7.36 million, compared with $20.78 million as at 31 December
2015 and $34.39 million as at 30 June 2015. The decrease in cash balance during the three and six month
periods ended 30 June 2016 has arisen due to servicing of the Group’s Bond liabilities, in addition to
continued, but reduced, investment by the Group into the Bentley field development in order to further
advance the project towards Field Development Plan (“FDP”) consent by the Oil and Gas Authority
(“OGA”). Additions to E&E assets in the six month period ended 30 June 2016 totalled $18.74 million,
which includes capitalised interest costs in respect of the Bonds of $10.43 million, together with amortisation on Bond fees of $4.02 million, professional and advisory fees of $1.73 million and capitalised staff and
contractor costs of $1.80 million.
