ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear Shareholder,
2012 has been a year of renewal for Matra Petroleum. In May we welcomed Maxim Barskiy as a cornerstone investor and CEO of the Company. Maxim is vastly experienced in the industry through his roles at TNK-BP and perhaps more relevantly to Matra, his time with West Siberian Resources when this company saw exceptional growth culminating in a merger with Alliance Oil.
Further to Maxim's appointment, we have broadened the operational and corporate team to support our portfolio management and business development strategy with Vladimir Lenski joining as Managing Director and Ekaterina Sapozhnikova as Chief Financial Officer, both with significant experience in the sector. In addition, we were delighted to welcome Matthias Brandl onto the board as a Non-executive Director. Matthias brings extensive corporate finance and business development experience within the natural resources sector.
The change of management provided a catalyst for a major review of the Company's strategy. The revised two-pronged strategy, which the Company has since articulated, was focussed firstly on reducing the technical uncertainties associated with the Company's Sokolovskoye Field interest, optimising near term cash flow from the field and assessing options for further risk reduction and for securing the maximum financial return from the asset.
The second element of Matra's revised strategy is to expand the Company's upstream portfolio, reducing the inherent exposure associated with a single asset company and developing the necessary "critical mass" to enable the Company to utilise fully the specific expertise and competitive edge of its management team. This strategy will see Matra expanding its Emerging Market focus to include Latin America, Central Asia, and Special Tax Regime Regions of Russia where the Company has already recognised a number of asset, portfolio and corporate opportunities. In many cases these opportunities are a reflection of, and have arisen as a direct result of, the tough financial market conditions within which the junior upstream oil and gas sector is presently operating.
The Company has focussed primarily on onshore properties underpinned by proven hydrocarbon Reserves and/or Contingent Resources. The Company has restricted its search to properties where there is clearly defined upside exploration or appraisal potential and where the Company believes it can bring to bear its particular technical and operational expertise to rationalise costs, achieve early incremental cash flow and deliver long term value accretion.
Over the last year we have carried out a detailed assessment of a wide variety of assets in several regions. We are encouraged by the quality of the assets potentially available within our target market; although macro-economic factors and the value being attributed by industry to certain assets, particularly in Russia, has held us back from concluding any acquisitions. We continue to look for suitable opportunities which reflect the aims of our clearly stated strategy, and which we are well placed to capitalise on fully.
With regard to our strategy for the Sokolovskoe Field, we have carried out a number of production enhancement activities and have acquired an important 2D and 3D seismic survey to better understand the geological structure of, and potential reservoir distribution within, the field. Integrating the seismic data with all other available geologic data has enabled the Company to carry out, internally, a full probabilistic re-evaluation of the Resources of the field and prepare a conceptual field development plan. This has, in turn, enabled the Company to consider a variety of strategic options for this asset going forward.
Another important event for the Company was the successful equity placing in April 2012, which raised GBP4.6 million, and ensured that the Company's cash position remains strong and Matra continues to operate without any debt.
We were deeply saddened to have to report in April of this year that Sir Michael Jenkins, Matra's Chairman from 2007, had passed away. Sir Michael's diplomatic and City career was one of great distinction, and we were extremely fortunate to receive the benefit of his wisdom, experience and leadership while he served as our Chairman. He will be sorely missed.
In summary, I am pleased to report that we have strengthened considerably the Matra Management team, and are now furnished with the expertise to drive the Company in an exciting new direction. We have established an acquisition led strategy with the stated aim of building Matra into a significant mid-cap oil and gas company, whilst continuing to asses and develop options for our current asset. I would like to conclude by thanking everyone in the Company for their continued hard work, and look forward to a successful year ahead for Matra Petroleum.

DIRECTORS' REVIEW
Production
Operational activity in 2012 was focussed on increasing production and proving the economic viability of the Sokolovskoe field.
In April 2012, having completed the purchase and implementation of the necessary equipment, production started at the well A-13 on Sokolovskoe field, with an average daily rate of 26 bopd. This production rate was further increased in May 2012, when an electric submersible pump ("ESP") was installed, increasing the rate to 70 bopd.
Total production in 2012 was 11,925 bbl of oil (2011: 15,753 bbl of oil).
3D Seismic
In the second half of 2012 a seismic survey was conducted on Sokolovskoe oil field. The survey included 100 kilometers of 2D seismic and 60 square kilometers of 3D seismic.
The seismic results determined the complexity of the field configuration compared to what was previously mapped as one structure. The seismic data interpretation identified that the Aphoninsky reservoir splits into four separate domes within the boundaries of the license area from south-west to north-east.
Domes one and two (wells A-12 and A-13), are controlled by regional faults in the west. Dome two is limited by a downfold and local faults system in the east. Domes three and four, that may be classified as prospective resources and are controlled by downfolds and the wells from the nearby Olshanskoye field, encountered the Aphonensky reservoir below anticipated oil water contact. We believe that further exploration potential exists in these two structures in the northeast segment of the license area.
Processing and interpretation of seismic data was executed to the highest technical and professional standard. The quality of the completed works on Sokolovskoye field has fully met the objectives set by the Company and further proved the value of the field.
Below is a link to a map of the Sokolovskoye field:
http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/1816G_-2013-6-3.pdf
Internal Reserves Estimate
In light of the new seismic data and the results from wells A-12 and A-13 the Company completed a Field Development Plan and associated economic forecast for Sokolovskoe field and prepared an internal Reserves estimate for Sokolovskoe oil field.
The table below outlines Management's Reserves estimate for the sections of the Aphoninsky reservoir drilled by wells A-12 and A-13:
Hot Features
Premium
Category OOIP Recovery Recoverable Reserves
Factor
(10(3) bbl) (%) (10(3) bbl)
1P 28,255 20.0 5,651
2P 50,152 27.0 13,541
3P 90,856 34.0 30,982
The Company is satisfied that these estimated Reserves subject to the Company receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, would result in an independent Competent Person's Report confirming these as Recoverable Reserves.
The identification of the potential reserves was an important milestone for Matra and demonstrated the significant potential of the Sokolovskoe oil field.
The Company is actively reviewing its options for maximising the value of the Sokolovskoe oil field. These include progressing with early development of the field, proceeding with further appraisal activities targeting the upside potential of the field, which the Company estimates includes further P50 Prospective Resources of 5 mmbbls of recoverable oil, or considering existing options for monetising part or all of the asset. Depending on the next course of action the Company may commission an independent Competent Persons Report over the Sokolovskoe field.
M&A activity and outlook
As the Company reviews its options to maximise the value of the Sokolovskoe oil field, we continue to access new opportunities as part of our acquisition led strategy. We have made significant progress over the past year in identifying prospects: the Company has reviewed over 20 potential acquisition opportunities in most oil prolific provinces in Russia including Volga-Urals, Timano-Pechora, West Siberia, East Siberia, Sakhalin as well as in CIS, Latin America, USA and other regions. We remain focused on achieving our objective of creating an E&P Company of size and scale.
I am confident of further success in 2013 as we look to maximize the value for shareholders.

======================= ============== ========== ========== ==========
Test production of oil at the well A-13 commenced in the second half of 2011 and continued throughout 2012 reaching total production for the year of 11,925 bbl (2011: 15,753 bbl). In 2012 revenue from test production reduced by US$108,000 to US$ 503,000 (2011: US$611,000) due to the fact that only Well A-13 was producing oil.
The Group's total administrative expenditure in the year was US$ 4,855,000 (2011: US$10,128,000). The US$ 5,273,000 decrease was largely due to an impairment of US$ 7,400,000 recognised in 2011 in respect of Well A-12 and a decrease in share based payment charge from US$ 725,000 in 2011 to US$ 599,000 in 2012. The Group's general overheads increased by US$2,056,000 largely due to costs related to analysis of potential acquisition targets and termination payment of US$ 322,717 made to Mr P Hind who left the Company in May 2012 (note 6).
During the year Russian VAT refunds of US$53,000 (2011: US$389,000 and 2010: US$748,000) were received.
The Group capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure in the year was US$1,954,000 (2011: US$ 2,266,000) relating primarily to the 2D and 3D seismic survey and the appraisal of well A-13.
At year end the Group had cash and cash equivalents totalling US$4,000,000 (2011: US$2,333,000 and 2010: US$2,959,000) (note 20). The Directors are confident in the Company's ability to secure the funding when it is required for future capital programme.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by European Union.
These financial statements are presented in US Dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand (US $'000) .
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Restatement - Change in presentation currency
The Directors have elected to present for the first time the Group's and Company's financial statements in US Dollars in order to make them comparable with the financial statements of its peers. This is a change from prior years when the financial statements were presented in Euros. The change represents a change in accounting policy and has been applied retrospectively.
Going concern
The Group's operations are cash generative and the current cash position is sufficient to cover the Group's administrative costs for the next 12 months.
As part of the licence commitments the Group is required to complete construction of no less than 1 exploration well before the end of 2013. In light of the technical re-interpretation arising from the 3D seismic survey, the technical team are in the process of considering the location of the commitment well. Following this a detailed plan will need to be agreed with the licensing authorities. For this reason it is not expected that the commitment well will be drilled within next 12 months. The relevant licensing authorities are aware of this and it is common practice to obtain extensions. The estimated cost of the well is approximately US$5 million. In the event of funding being required for the well costs the Directors have received assurance from the major shareholder that the funds will be available in the form of debt should the Company be obliged to start drilling within next 12 months.
(i) New standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2012:
The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the Group for financial year beginning 1 January 2012. Except as noted, the implementation of these standards is not expected to have a material effect on the Group.

The Group is evaluating the impact of the above pronouncements but they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's earnings or shareholders' funds.
Basis of consolidation
Where the Company has the power, either directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity or business so as to obtain benefits from its activities, it is classified as a subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between Group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board.
Business combinations
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using acquisition accounting. In the consolidated statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated income statement from the date on which control is obtained.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (their "functional currency") are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into US Dollars (the presentational currency) at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Differences arising on retranslating the opening net assets and the results of operations are recognised directly in equity (the "foreign currency translation reserve").
Exchange differences recognised in the income statement of Group entities' separate financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group's net investment in the overseas operation concerned are reclassified to the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the consolidated income statement as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
The following rates were used to translate these financial statements:
As at 31.12.2012 Average As at 31.12.2011 Average As at 31.12.2010 Average
for 2012 for 2011 for 2010
GBP to USD 1.6168 1.5851 1.5456 1.6044 1.5471 1.5463
USD to RUB 30.4858 31.1604 32.2238 29.4484 30.5384 30.4338
EUR to USD 1.3218 1.2861 1.2950 1.3928 1.3253 1.3279
Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for oil and gas products provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes to third party customers. Revenues are recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership together with effective control are transferred to the customer and the amount of the revenue and associated costs incurred in respect of the relevant transaction can be reliably measured. Revenue is not recognised unless it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the sales transaction will flow to the Group. Revenue recognised in 2012 relates to oil sales from test production.
Cost of sales
During test production cost of sales cannot be reliably estimated and therefore a cost of sales equal to revenue is recognised and credited to the intangible exploration assets.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic lives on the following basis:
Property, plant and equipment - 25% per annum straight line.
The useful lives and residual values of Property, plant and equipment are re-assessed annually and any revisions taken to the income statement in the current period.
Intangible non-current exploration assets
The Group applies the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration and appraisal costs. Under the successful efforts method of accounting, all licence acquisition, exploration and appraisal costs are initially capitalised in well, field or specific exploration well cost centres as appropriate, pending determination. Costs are capitalised until commercial reserves are established or the exploration site is deemed to have no commercial value. Costs incurred on areas of interest where exploration is completed without success are impaired to the income statement.
Pre-licence costs: costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed directly to the income statement as they are incurred.
Exploration and appraisal costs are initially capitalised as an intangible asset. Intangible assets are not amortised prior to the conclusion of appraisal activities and determination of commercial reserves.
Impairment
All intangible assets are reviewed regularly for indications of impairment and costs are written off where circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable. Any impairment is immediately written off to the income statement. The Group applies the successful efforts method of accounting where costs are capitalised in different cost centres for each well and the impairment review is carried out separately on each cost centre. There is one cash generating unit which is the licence area.
Investments
In its separate financial statements the Company recognises its investments in subsidiaries and associates at cost less allowances for impairments in value.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs included in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual right to the cash flow expires or when substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are transferred. Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligations specified in the contract are either discharged or cancelled.
Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Group does not have any held to maturity, available for sale or fair value through profit and loss assets.
Loans and receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost (unless the effect of the time value of money is immaterial) less allowance for impairment in value.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less.
Financial liabilities
The Group's financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables which are initially stated at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. There are no liabilities recognised at fair value through profit or loss.
Tax
Income tax on the profit or loss from ordinary activities includes current and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Income tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except where the tax relates to items credited or charged to other comprehensive income in which case the tax is also dealt with in other comprehensive income, or when the tax relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and current tax losses have not been recognised since it is uncertain that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable Group company or different Group Entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.
Share capital
Issued and paid up share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
Share Based Payments
Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated income statement over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated income statement over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the consolidated income statement is charged with the fair value of goods and services received.
2. Significant accounting judgements and key sources of estimation
uncertainty
The Group makes estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may deviate from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
Exploration and evaluation costs
The exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised as intangible assets and are assessed for impairment when circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed the recoverable value thereof. This assessment involves judgement as to the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined as well as future revenues and costs pertaining to the utilisation of the exploration and production rights to which such capitalised costs relate and the discount rate to be applied to such future revenues and costs in order to determine a recoverable value.
Share based payments
The Company makes equity-settled share-based payments to certain Group employees and advisers. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions are described in the note 17 to these financial statements and include, among others, expected volatility, expected life of the options and number of options expected to vest. More details including carrying values are disclosed in the note to the accounts.
3. Loss per share
Loss per share of 0.28 cents (2011: 0.9 cents) is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity shareholders for the year US$4,816,000 (2011: US$10,132,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year of 1,717,649,244 (2011: 1,129,808,508).
The effect of all potential ordinary shares arising from the exercise of options going forward is considered to be anti-dilutive and therefore diluted earnings per share has not been calculated. At the reporting date there were 53,672,907 (2011: 59,650,000) potentially dilutive ordinary shares.
4. Parent Company's income statement
The Company has taken advantage of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not included its own income statement in these financial statements. The Company loss for the year after taxation was US$10,267,000 (2011: US$10,642,000).

The fair value of receivables is not significantly different from the carrying value.
During the year the terms of the inter-company loans have been revised with the repayment period extended to 2020 and annual interest reduced to 0.65% (2011 and 2010: 2% above the Russian Central Bank interest rate). Consequently the inter-company loans have been re-classified as a non-current investment.
Additionally, the previously recognised impairment of intercompany loans of US$13,695,000 has been reversed following the Directors' reassessment of the loan's recoverability and the Directors are confident that the full amount of the inter-company loans together with accrued interest will be repaid by 31 December 2020.

* The exercise period of these options was modified and their exercise date amended to 31 December 2012 on 18 May 2012. The modification did not result in a change in the fair value of these options.
** These options relate to warrants granted in 2012 and were not exercisable at 31 December 2012.
Peter Hind and Neil Hodgson exercised 5 million and 1.2 million of options respectively at an exercise price of 0.1 pence per share on 06 June 2012.
Of the total number of options outstanding at 31 December 2012, 9,200,000 (2011: 59,650,000) had vested and were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of 0.7p (2011: 3.32p).
Warrants
On 11 May 2012 warrants were granted to Maxim Barskiy to subscribe for 44,472,907 of the Company's ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each at an exercise price of 1.3 pence per share. The warrants are valid for 12 months from the date of grant and exercise is conditional upon completion of a Material Acquisition by the Company.
In May 2013 the warrants lapsed as the vesting conditions have not been met and the charge has been reversed subsequently to the year end (note 23).
The fair value of equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The table below lists the inputs to the model used for options granted during the reported years:
2012 2011 2010

------------------------- ------ ----- -----
Weighted average option
price (pence) 1.36 2.00 1.00

The total fair value of the options issued is spread over the vesting period of the options. The share-based payment charge for the year was US$599,000 (2011: US$725,000 and 2010: US$2,000).
The expected life of the options is based on academic research and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that
may occur. Volatility is calculated with reference to comparative entities share price volatility and reflects the assumption that the comparator's volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
At 31 December 2012, 2011 and 2010 the fair value and the book value of the Group and Company's financial assets and liabilities were materially the same.
General objectives, policies and processes
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group and Company's risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group and Company's finance function. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group and Company's competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:
Credit risk
Credit risk for the Company arises principally from the intercompany loans. It is the risk that the counterparty fails to discharge its obligation in respect of the instrument. The maximum exposure to credit risk equals the carrying value of these items in the financial statements.
To reduce credit risk sales of oil from test production are made only to customers with appropriate credit rating. When commercial exploitation commences sales will only be made to customers with appropriate credit rating.
Credit risk with cash and cash equivalents is reduced by placing funds with banks with high credit ratings.
Hedging policy
It is the Company and Group policy not to actively hedge against foreign currency transactions and balances. However, this policy is kept under constant review.
Capital
The Company and Group define capital as ordinary shares, share premium, foreign currency translation reserve and retained earnings.
The Group considers its capital to comprise entirely of equity. The Group's primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders through capital growth.
In order to achieve this objective, the Group seeks to maintain a debt free or a low gearing ratio position that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level wherever such a choice between the raising of debt, equity or a combination of the two exists.
Overriding the above is the need for the Group to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable it to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs.
In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Group and Company's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group or Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group and Company's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet expected requirements for a period of at least 30 days. The Group and Company also seeks to reduce liquidity risk by maximising interest rates (and hence cash flows) on its cash deposits, this is further discussed in the 'interest rate risk' section below.
The Board receives rolling 12 month cash flow projections on a periodic basis as well as information regarding cash balances in order to closely monitor the Group's liquidity position (as noted above).
Trade and other payables are due within 30 days of invoice date.
Interest rate risk
The Group has no interest bearing borrowings and so there is no interest rate risk.
There is no significant interest rate risk in respect of temporary surplus funds invested in deposits and other interest bearing accounts with financial institutions as the operations of the Group are not dependent on the finance income received. However, it is the Group's policy to manage the interest rate risk over the cash flows on its invested surplus funds by using only substantial financial institutions when such funds are invested.
A 1% change in interest rates would not have material impact on profit after tax of the Group or Company.
At the year end, the Group had a cash balance of US$4,000,000 (2011: US$2,333,000 and 2010: US$2,959,000) and the Company had a cash balance of US$811,000 (2011: US$2,024,000 and 2010: US$2,139,000) which was made up as follows:

Currency risk
The Group and Company's policy is, where possible, to allow Group entities to settle liabilities denominated in their functional currency (primarily Euro, Russian Roubles or Great British Pounds) in that currency. Where Group or Company entities have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle them) cash already denominated in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from elsewhere within the Group.
In order to monitor the continuing effectiveness of this policy, the Board receives a periodic forecast, analysed by the major currencies held by the Group and Company.
The Group and Company is primarily exposed to currency risk on purchases made from suppliers in Orenburg, Southern Russia in Russian Roubles. As it is not possible for the Group or Company to transact in Russian Roubles outside of Russia, a Sterling account is maintained in Orenburg and all funding is transferred to its Russian subsidiary in this currency. Once the funding has been received, the local finance team negotiates a favourable spot rate with its Russian bank for transferring Sterling to Russian Roubles. The UK finance team, along with its advisors, carefully monitors movements in the Sterling / Russian Rouble rate and chooses the most beneficial times for transferring monies to its subsidiary, whilst ensuring that it has sufficient funds to continue its operations.
A movement in the Russian Rouble of 15% would result in the expenditure in the year increasing or decreasing by
US$ 156,000 (2011: US$ 153,000).
A movement in the Great British pound of 25% would result in the expenditure in the year increasing or decreasing by US$755,000 (2011: US$ 247,000).
A movement in the Great British pound of 25% would result in the average cash and cash equivalents increasing or decreasing by US$ 223,000 (2011: US$474,000).
21. Commitments
The Company has no operating or finance lease commitments.
On 23 December 2010 the 100% subsidiary, OOO Arkhangelovskoe, was awarded a production licence (the Licence) for the exploration and production hydrocarbon resources within the Sokolovskoe field in Orenburg, Russia.
The Licence is valid to 31 December 2030 and in order to maintain the current rights of tenure to the licence, the Group currently has the following commitments:
-- To drill a minimum of one well by the end of 2013. -- To issue for approval a reserve report for the field by the end of 2014. -- To submit for approval a development plan for the field by the end of 2015. 22. Related party transactions
Apart from key management remuneration as disclosed in note 6, the Group and Company had no transactions with related parties during the year (31 December 2011: nil).
23. Events after the reporting period.
In May 2013 the warrants granted to Maxim Barskiy (note 17) lapsed as the qualifying vesting conditions have not been met. The previously recognised share-based payment charge of US$599,000 has subsequently been reversed.
