Corfe Energy Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2019

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
1st Floor, Unit 2
Queen's Square, Ascot Business Park
Lyndhurst Road
Ascot
SL5 9FE

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board on 7 August 2020.

2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Going concern

The Company is dependent on its parent company for support. Having reviewed the Company's budgets and cash flows, and taking into account that the parent company has expressed its willingness to continue providing support, the Directors consider that there is sufficient cash to maintain the Company as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the accounts.

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts receivable for the sale of crude oil net of taxes, and is recognised on delivery of the crude oil to a third party storage facility.

Tangible - development and production assets

Following appraisal of successful exploration wells, if commercial reserves are established and technical feasibility for extraction demonstrated, then the related capitalised intangible exploration and evaluation cost is transferred into a single field cost centre within tangible assets - development and production assets after testing for impairment (see below). Where results of exploration drilling indicate the presence of hydrocarbons which are ultimately not considered commercially viable, all related costs are expensed in the profit and loss account.

Development and production costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis based on the commercial proven and probable reserves on a field-by-field basis. Development and production assets are not depreciated until the production commences. The depreciation calculation takes account of the residual value of site equipment and the estimated future costs of development of recognised proven and probable reserves, based on current price levels. Any changes in reserves quantities and costs estimates are recognised prospectively.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2019

Intangible - exploration and evaluation assets

The Company accounts for oil and gas expenditure using successful efforts based accounting.

Under this method, exploration and evaluation expenditure, which is defined as expenses incurred before commercial reserves are established and technical feasibility for extraction is demonstrated, is expensed, with the exception of costs related to the acquiring of the exploration and production rights/licences. The costs of acquiring the oil exploration and production rights/licences are capitalised as intangible assets and will be amortised when oil production commences on a unit of production basis (see below).

Subsequent to the initial recognition, the intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and where found to be no longer viable, or where the licences have expired with no intention of renewal, an impairment loss is recognised as exploration costs in the profit and loss account.

Impairment

Intangible exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed regularly for indicators of impairment. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book amount of capitalised expenditure may not be recoverable from anticipated future net revenue from oil and gas reserves attributable to the Company's interest in the field, the intangible asset is tested for impairment on a field-by-field basis. Any impairment arising is recognised in the profit and loss account for the year.

Impairment reviews on tangible development and production assets are carried out on each cash-generating unit identified in accordance with FRS 11 'Impairment of Fixed Assets and Goodwill'. The Company's cash-generating units are those assets which generate largely independent cash flows and are normally, but not always, single development areas.

At each reporting date, where there are indicators of impairment, the net book value of the cash-generating unit is compared with the associated expected future net cash flows, discounted at a rate of 10%. If the net book value is higher, then the difference is written off to the profit and loss account as impairment. The forecasted cash flow represents the period to January 2023.

Investments

Investments comprise investments in quoted equity instruments and are measured at fair value, with changes to fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

3	Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 3 (2018 - 4).
