Executive Chairman’s Statement Willing of Life Watercolor on paper; endless is the strength of people when they decide to stand up for their rights. The variation of colors in this painting implies the individual diversity that makes society richer when people are treated equally. It is a denunciation for all the attempts to reduce individuals into a copy of each other upon the dictator's will. The work celebrates the diversity, acceptance and tolerance within the Arab society. Ziyad Ben Salama
On behalf of my colleagues on the Board, I am delighted to report that 2011 was another year of significant progress for Kuwait Energy. This report presents the 2011 financial statements of Kuwait Energy plc (“Kuwait Energy”), our new Jersey – incorporated group holding company. In the second half of 2011, the Kuwait Energy group restructured to Jersey for the purposes of a future listing on the London Stock Exchange. We achieved this ground-breaking reorganisation by first making Kuwait Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kuwait Energy Company K.S.C.C., the predecessor parent company (“KEC”), and transferring all of our subsidiaries and assets to Kuwait Energy. We then actioned the capital reduction of KEC which had been approved by our shareholders at the August 2011 General Assembly Meeting, as a result of which 90% of the shares in Kuwait Energy were distributed to our shareholders. KEC continues to hold the remaining 10% of the shares in Kuwait Energy. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you for your support on this ‘life-changing’ transaction. In terms of reserves and production, we reported year end 2011 proven and probable working interest reserves of 235.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), a significant rise of almost 400% on the prior year (2010: 48.8 mmboe). This increase came from signing two 20 year gas development and production service contracts in Iraq, reserve revisions in Russia due to seismic interpretations, and Egypt exploration additions. We also achieved an average daily working interest production of 13,624 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and a record year end exit production of 17,773 boepd. 2012 is set to be another exciting year for Kuwait Energy. Activity and organic growth will concentrate on the MENA region with further exploration and production anticipated in Egypt. In Iraq, development activity for the Siba Gas field will continue as will technical evaluations of the 12 blocks to be offered by the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, due in May 2012. We will also maintain our strategy of constantly evaluating M&A opportunities which have the potential to generate value for shareholders and complement our organic growth.
Financial Overview Kuwait Energy increased revenue by 26.2% to US$178.9 million (2010: US$141.8 million), generating net profits of US$34.8 million for 2011, an increase of 58.7% on 2010. This continues the Company’s outstanding track record of reporting net profits each year since inception in August 2005. The operating cash flow before working capital in 2011 was US$111.9 million up 30.7% on 2010, primarily due to increased levels of production at higher realized product prices. Capital expenditure during the year was US$144.7 million, an increase of 31.5% on 2010.

Operations
Corporate Social Responsibility
Operationally, Kuwait Energy continued to be extremely active in 2011. Exploration and development drilling continued apace with 8 exploration wells and 49 development wells being completed at a cost of US$36.3 million and US$108.4million respectively. In 2011 development wells drilled added an initial working interest production of 5,575 boepd.The majority of these wells being in Oman with the resulting production rate exceeding budget expectations. Our exploration success rate of 62% continued to be well above the industry average of 24%, an outstanding achievement.
Kuwait Energy observes high standards of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”).
Average daily working interest production increased over the year by 2.8% to 13,624 boepd, with record 2011 exit production volume achieved of over 17,700 on 31st December, 23% higher than 2010. This was primarily due to the successful dilineation / appraisal drilling results of the Shahd field in ERQ, Egypt. Drilling of the Shahd-2 sidetrack proved a major extension in the Lower Bahriya reservoir with massive productive sand. Initial production from Shahd-2 sidetrack exceeded 4,000 boepd. This was followed by drilling Shahd SE-5 which proved better reservoir development and produced at a rate exceeding 5,000 boepd. These naturally flowing wells are considered one of the highest producers in the Western Desert of Egypt. In Egypt, the Company recorded five new hydrocarbon discoveries from eight wells spud during the year. These successes brought the number of discoveries for the Company in Egypt, since 2008, from 11 to 16, an excellent achievement. In October, two discoveries in Abu Sennan produced very encouraging flow rates which augur well for commercialization, and the onset of production during 2012. In June, our entry into Iraq was formalized with the signing of two, 20 year gas development and production service contracts with the Iraqi ministry of oil. Kuwait Energy maintained its programme of active portfolio management during 2011 by completing the divestments of a 22% stake in the Abu Sennan concession and 15% in the Mesaha concession, both in Egypt to Beach Energy Limited. We also completed a full year of operatorship in Russia. In Yemen, a feasibility plan was submitted to the country’s Petroleum Exploration and Production Authority following an assessment of Yemen’s gas resources, and discussions on the way forward are progressing. Despite the recent events in Yemen, the Company’s existing production activity continued unaffected during 2011.
Corporate Development
Implementing international best practices, Kuwait Energy maintains high safety standards, respects the environment and works very closely with its communities to address important aspects of local needs and ensure Kuwait Energy contributes to the areas where it operates. The Company also completed its annual, two-month internship programme for a group of Kuwaiti and international students offering first-hand experience of the oil and gas industry. It also completed its fourth consecutive year of involvement in the Kuwait Science Fair, which generates student interest in math and science from an early age. The Company seeks to enhance its CSR reputation, year-on-year and is particularly proud of the initiatives it implements.
Employees Kuwait Energy enjoys a multinational, multicultural workforce and at year end 2011 had almost 500 employees from over 25 countries.
Outlook The Middle East remains the main focus of Kuwait Energy’s operations and the Company looks forward to consolidating the significant progress made in 2011, through 2012, especially in Egypt and Iraq. In Egypt, we plan to drill 7 exploration wells and 12 development wells during 2012, whilst in Iraq, 2012 will be a critical year in our development of the Siba gas field and the Company will also be evaluating opportunities available in the country’s fourth bidding round. Discussions are also progressing in Yemen on how to develop the country’s gas resources. The Company intends to complement this organic growth strategy by the exploitation of attractive M&A opportunities as they arise. As such, 2012 is looking to be another year of significant progress for Kuwait Energy. On behalf of the Board, I would like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone at Kuwait Energy for their continued dedication and professionalism without which the Company’s sustained growth would not be possible.
Kuwait Energy retains its ambition to seek a listing on the London Stock Exchange and continues to work closely with its external advisors to prepare for this event. The timing of the listing will be subject to market conditions.
Corporate Governance and Board Changes High standards of corporate governance remain at the core of the Company’s operations and Kuwait Energy continues to implement international best practices and the requirements of the UK Combined Code. The Board comprises three independent directors.

Proud to be Arab As with many works by Fatin Al-Shawaibi, this work belongs to abstract painting. This time it is a depiction of an Arabic city during the Arab spring; the new spirit that cities like Tunis, Cairo, Sana'a and Tripoli share after the success of their revolution. The green color with all of its interpretations and significance in Arabic visual culture extends in between the narrow streets, intimate old houses, and beneath the pointed arches of the city as if life were coming back after long absence.

Chief Executive Officer’s Report I am delighted to report on 2011, a year of increased profits, increased reserves, increased production and other significant operational milestones for Kuwait Energy. Yet again the Company has reported profits for the year, as it has done every year since inception. We have also been very active operationally, making several successful hydrocarbons discoveries with a success rate of 62%, formalized our entry into Iraq, increased production to record levels with exit production of 17,733 boepd and obtained the internationally recognized quality management system ISO 9001.
Financial Performance Cash The Company generated an operating cash flow before working capital movements of US$111.9 million in 2011, up 30.7% compared to US$85.6 million in 2010. Cash and bank balances as at 31st December 2011, were US$40.5 million. The Company completed the rights issue during the year through which it raised US$ 107 million to fund future expansion.
Capital US$144.7 million was spent during the year on drilling: • 49 development wells; and • 8 exploration wells
Profit Net profit of US$ 34.8 million was generated during the year, a 58.9% increase compared to US$ 21.9 million in 2010. This was driven by 37% increase in the average realized oil price, partially offset by a noncash impairment charge of US$ 8.5 million and hedging losses of US$ 7.1 million.
Operations Production Kuwait Energy experienced modest production growth in 2011 with an average daily working interest production of 13,624 boepd, a 2.8% increase on 2010. However, the average working interest production during the fourth quarter was 15,018 boepd an increase of 12.3% over Q4 2010. This increase can be attributed to exploration success and development wells in Egypt being put on production. Specifically, in ERQ Egypt the Shahd-SE5 and Shahd-2 wells were put on production during the latter part of 2011 at 5,500 bopd and 4,400 bopd gross respectively; in Area A, Egypt the Ahmed-1X and Shukheir NW-X9 wells were put on production at 890 boepd and 580 boepd gross respectively. In BEA, Egypt wells BEA-9, BEA-10 and BEA-11 put on production at 686 boepd, 96 boepd and 1,008 boepd gross respectively.
Development Activities • Significant progress in Iraq and a substantial increase in Russian reserves • 49 development wells drilled in 2011 • Initial WI production of 5,575 boepd added, mainly from Egypt In Iraq, the Company’s interim work programme has been approved by the South Oil Company, and a preliminary development plan for the Siba gas field has been submitted. The approved programme front loaded levels of activity where possible, which ensured that all planned activities for 2012 can be completed irrespective of when approval for the fuller preliminary development plan is formally received. This means Kuwait Energy can make tangible progress in 2012 and has allowed the Company to commence the tendering process for the sub-contracting of technical services. In Russia, the acquisition of a further 28 km2 of seismic data, in addition to the 20 km2 already held, on the Luzskoye asset has revealed more evidence of oil in place. At the same time, the Company has updated and optimized its field development strategy, which will lead to enhanced oil recovery rates. This new seismic data and updated drilling strategy has led to a significant upgrade in proven and probable reserves in Russia. In terms of the Company’s own capital expenditure, activity was focused on Egypt, where 12 development wells were drilled. Particular success was achieved on the BEA and ERQ Blocks with increases in daily average WI production. Detailed geological and engineering studies also commenced in a number of Kuwait Energy operated assets in Egypt (Area A) and Ukraine (Blocks NY). These studies, incorporating 3D seismic modeling, enabled improved understanding of the optimal development strategy for these assets. Work continued on the new treatment facility at the Luzskoye oil field in Russia and Kuwait Energy operated gas treatment plant in Ukraine was upgraded.

Another Perception The artist chose reform and reconstructs the human figure in order to urge a new perception for many thoughts that were taken for granted. Therefore, a new eye is needed to perceive the world while another eye is needed to focus in our inner world, to re-evaluate our thoughts and ethics. This is exactly the status of all innovators who can change life around them at the moment of creativity.

Exploration Activities • Five out of the eight wells spud were successful resulting in 62% success rate • Success rate exceeds industry average and increased from 2010 (55%) • 2011 exploration activity added 9.3 mmboe to proven plus probable reserves at an average finding cost of US$3.90/boe

Exploration drilling Eight exploration wells were drilled in 2011 resulting in five discoveries. Discoveries were all in Egypt on the Abu Sennan, Area A and ERQ assets. The success added 9.3 mmboe to proven and probable reserves and 3.5 mmboe to 2C reserves. More than half the discoveries were in wells where Kuwait Energy acts as operator. In Abu Sennan, gas and condensate was discovered in the Al Ahmadi-1X well whilst oil was discovered in the Al-Salmiya-1X and Al Jahraa-1X wells. Initial test flow rates were 2,900 boepd, 5,600 boepd and 835 boepd respectively.
Revolution Individuality and freedom of art creativity are the substance of this work. The confrontation with reality rather than describing it has always been the mission of abstract painting, and this work is not an exception. A gradual transition from dark to light colors accompanied with free brush strokes with hot and lively colors; are the means of conveying this idea. The overall result is a strong contrast between light and the darkness out of which it comes. Fatin Shawaibi
In Area A, oil was discovered in the Ahmad-1X well whilst the other oil discovery occurred in the Shebl East-1 well in Block ERQ. Initial test flow rates were 890 boepd and 1,500 boepd respectively. During 2011, the Company’s finding cost has averaged US$3.90 per barrel of oil equivalent, which is an outstanding achievement and is further evidence of the Company’s financial and operational expertise.
Geophysical and Geological Studies. During 2011, Kuwait Energy’s geophysical and geological studies led to a substantial rise in proven and probable reserves in Russia and a very large increase to prospective resources in Block 6 – Mesaha, Egypt; both of these events are exciting opportunities which could pave the way for high-impact, frontier exploration drilling in the near future. In Block 6 – Mesaha, Egypt, a frontier exploration block with acreage more than two times the size of Kuwait, the processing of seismic data contributed to the increase in prospective resource for Kuwait Energy. Overall 800km of new 2D and 82km2 of new 3D, seismic data was acquired. Previously acquired 3D data covering Latvia, Ukraine and Russia was also processed. This has generated a number of new prospects and leads, including a near term drilling location in Latvia being identified.
Business Development Kuwait Energy’s excellent growth to date, and status as one of the MENA region’s fastest growing exploration and production companies, has always been underpinned by having ambitious targets. The Company’s expansion strategy over the medium term draws on this principle with a 2015 target of achieving 75,000 boepd, proven and probable reserves of 400 mmboe, to be achieved by a mix of both organic and acquisition growth. Kuwait Energy aims to achieve this by fulfilling the potential of existing exploration and production assets and complementing this with selective, attractive M&A opportunities which could involve further geographical diversity within the MENA region. Whilst the current turbulence in the MENA region, has inevitably presented operational challenges, most of all it represents a significant opportunity for the Company. There is potential to acquire assets and build business development relationships in existing countries such as Iraq, Egypt and Yemen, capitalizing on the Company’s local knowledge and network of contacts. There is also scope to expand the business in the MENA region beyond existing areas of operation. Business development highlights during 2011 included; the signing of two 20 year gas development & production service contracts with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil for the Siba and Mansuriya fields; receipt from the Yemen Government of approval to proceed with plans for a small scale LNG project to utilize flared gas; and the signing of an MOU in July 2011 with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, developing a strategic alliance between the companies to develop future projects.

Health, Safety, Sustainability and Environment (“HSSE”) HSSE remains a key priority at Kuwait Energy and by the end of 2011, the Company had recorded over three years of operations in Egypt, two years of operations in Russia, and two years of operations in Ukraine with zero Lost Time Incidents. During the year, the Company also passed stage one of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification, illustrating Kuwait Energy’s desire to adopt international best practices in respect to its internal systems and controls.
Technology The Company’s partnership with Schlumberger, signed in December 2010, is also yielding continuous benefits via Schlumberger’s input into software modules, training programmes and seismic data services. This input has been especially useful in Iraq and the submission of a preliminary field development plan. Kuwait Energy continues to benefit from its relationships with software technology providers, which helps to reduce exploration and development risk, and maximize the potential from the Company’s assets.
Human Resources The Company’s employees are a key asset and Kuwait Energy’s growth and progress to date is due to their talent, dedication and motivation. As such, the importance of attracting and retaining our staff through creative and innovative initiatives is paramount to us. To this end, the Human Resources department has embarked on several initiatives throughout the year including: succession planning, mentoring projects and supporting youth development opportunities such as the “Future Energy” initiative, where individuals complete an internship and training programme across the Company’s global offices. 43 individuals completed the programme during 2011, almost double the number of 2010.
Hope This work is a reflection of hope and optimism. Surrounded by light hues of hot and cold colors, the stylized figures express the joyful spirit of the Arab spring. The tolerance between members of society despite of the high number of victims during the revolution is also present in the painting by lines extending from one figure to another to tell about the deep bonds between people.

Ascension Abstract painting is used along with figurative painting, to represent the transition from past when everything was chaotic and the future, which was a source of anxiety; to a new era of hope. Here, the clear blue sky and the blossoming flowers are all direct representation of this new spirit. Colors in this work are used as symbols; blue for hope and green for fertility. Fatin Shawaibi

Responsibility Statement of the Directors The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRSs’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements are required by law to be properly prepared in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that directors: • properly select and apply accounting policies; • present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information; • provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and • make an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. They are also responsible for the system of internal control, for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Employee Incentive Scheme The objectives of the Employee Incentive Scheme (EIS) are to reward Kuwait Energy’s employees for sustained good performance and to reward for both short and medium term business objectives by a combination of cash and share rewards. While the focus of the scheme will be on annual performance, the scheme is designed in such a manner that the ‘Share benefits’ pass on to the participants only in a staggered manner during a three year period.
Eligibility This scheme is applicable to all employees of the Kuwait Energy group. Where the employee has joined before 1st October of a given year, he/she may be deemed eligible for a pro-rated amount of shares as per the scheme in effect that year. Employees who have joined on or after 1st October will not be eligible for shares for that given sub-scheme.
Annual Incentive Entitlement 40% of the incentive entitlement will be paid out in cash as annual incentive and 60% will be converted into shares at the fair value (if the Company is not listed) or market price (after listing). The EIS shares will not be eligible for dividends or bonus shares until the shares have vested. The allocated EIS shares will vest in a staggered manner as follows 30%, 30%, and 40% shares after 1,2, and 3 years respectively

Freedom courtyard Abstract Expressionism was preferred by the artist in painting this work for its potential in focusing on impressions and feelings rather than forms or conventions. The main theme of the work stresses on the need for organizing, reconstructing and developing society. This idea is translated into geometrical shapes and compositions, painted with solid and contrasted colors to make the composition more dynamic and lively. Fatin Shawaibi

Risk Management Report During 2011, Kuwait Energy’s Risk Management system was fully embedded into all aspects of Company planning, decision making, project development and execution. The identification and management of key risks will underpin the successful delivery of the business’ strategic objectives whilst enhancing and protecting shareholder value.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties Strategic Risks Risks potentially impacting the Company’s ability to create shareholder value and meet shareholder expectations are: RISK
MITIGATION
Capital allocation
Targeting a capital allocation ratio of 80:20, with 80% allocated to producing and developing assets and 20% allocated to exploration activities.
Appropriate portfolio mix
The Company continues to maintain a diverse portfolio of assets which are spread across the Middle East, North Africa and Eurasia. The Company has a process to review acquisitions according to Company goals and risk appetite.
Identification and mitigation of risk
The Company’s risk profile and its risk management approach are frequently reviewed by senior management. Processes and procedures continue to be improved to optimize risk awareness for all projects and to enhance mitigation strategies.
Macroeconomic issues
Consistent monitoring of regional economic, political, and energy markets through market analysis by reputed third party experts when needed.
Financial Risks Risks that impact access to funding to meet financial obligations are:
Wanted 40
RISK
MITIGATION
Oil price volatility
Whilst not under the control of the Company, this risk can be mitigated through hedging if deemed appropriate by the Kuwait Energy Board.
Currency rate fluctuations
The Company’s policy is to conduct and manage its business in US dollars which is its reporting currency. Company subsidiaries use US dollars with only small amounts held in other currencies in order to comply with local regulations and meet immediate operating or administrative expenses.
Access to capital
Kuwait Energy’s future depends on additional financing which cannot always be guaranteed. Therefore, the company has maintained strong banking and equity relationships. The Company does not anticipate major financing challenges beyond the inherent risks experienced by sector peers.
Interest Rate Fluctuation
The group’s loans are linked to LIBOR and therefore its results are impacted by changes in interest rate. Hedges can be taken out to mitigate this risk, if deemed appropriate by the Board.
Credit Risk
The Group sells a majority of its oil and gas to a small number of counterparties in Egypt and therefore can be at risk of counterparty default. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and although the Arab Spring unrest has caused significant delay to realizing its Egyptian receivables, the Group is taking protective steps to manage this risk.
41
Operational Risks Risks that potentially impact on exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons and involve staff, contractors, communities, suppliers or events that could impact on reputation, cause cost overruns or revenue losses, are: RISK
42
MITIGATION
Hydrocarbon reserve and resource estimates
To ensure fair and reasonable estimates of hydrocarbon reserves and resources the Company has its year-end estimates fully externally audited. However calculations contain uncertainties which are inherent in reservoir geology, and depend on the seismic and well data available.
Government regulations
Changes in laws and regulations could potentially increase or decrease the value of development or exploration projects. Strong relationships with government officials in the Company’s countries of operation, enables the anticipation of, and negotiation on, potentially changed contractual terms.
Political instability
Political stability in countries of operations is of paramount concern for Kuwait Energy. The Company justifies its exposure in some countries through spreading this exposure across other diverse assets and through JV arrangements.
HSSE
The company’s Risk Management and HSSE functions collaborate to evaluate safety and security risks through a rigorous assessment process. This helps to determine mitigation strategies for the Company, as well as its contractors.
Relations with local stakeholders
The Company strives continuously for improved relationships with its local stakeholders through a number of initiatives.
Human Resources
Kuwait Energy considers human resources as an essential component of its project delivery capabilities and path to successful operations. The lack of specialized or skilled labour or an inability to attract qualified human resources would inevitably impact the Company’s operational performance and target delivery. The Company has processes in place to identify and address the optimal human resources needs for the business and to boost workforce productivity through improved attraction and retention.
Passage Here is the moment of passage from submission to revolution depicted by two figures with a flaming barrier in between. Hot colors are used to stress the sacrifices paid as a price for such passage from dictatorship to freedom. The figures are also stylized to reflect the inner conflict with fear and worries of the future that precedes any act of change.

Corporate Social Responsibility Report Overview Kuwait Energy observes high standards of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) and is committed to operating an environmentally aware and socially responsible business. Implementing international best practices, Kuwait Energy respects the environment and works very closely with its communities to address important aspects of local needs and ensure Kuwait Energy contributes to the areas where it operates. The Company has continued to do this throughout the year on a wide variety of initiatives, heavily concentrated in Egypt given the scale of the Company’s operations there but also substantial amounts in Ukraine, Latvia and Russia. Kuwait Energy employs and trains a large number of local people and at year-end 2011, 82% of our employees were local to the country of operation.
Activities Activities during the year have included: extensive Environmental Impact Assessments in the area of assets/potential projects, financially supporting infrastructure projects, as well as charity and special aid projects. In Egypt, Kuwait Energy completed a wide variety of notable activities including: the raising of hygienic standards, due to deteriorating conditions, in schools in Ras Gharib, Egypt. Kuwait Energy pledged to renovate the hygienic infrastructure of these schools, replacing substandard water tanks with bottled water and cleaner water tanks to guarantee students receive a clean supply. The Company also rebuilt the school’s bathrooms. Ras Gharib schools were also provided with fire extinguisher equipment and special training. Other initiatives in Egypt invoved the sponsorship of student magazines for the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and arranging a site visit for SEG students to learn about health and safety procedures. The Company also paved roads in front of its offices in Cairo’s Maadi district.
The Company was also extremely active in Russia, Ukraine and Latvia. In Russia, the Company sponsored aid programmes for children’s educational facilities and elderly members of the Kadherom community, where the Company operates. An aid programme to provide oil and gas industry veterans with gymnasium access was put in place as well as financial assistance being provided to the local hospital to purchase medical equipment. In Ukraine, Kuwait Energy made a very wide array of financial donations supporting local causes. These donations were made to the locals and authorities in the Ukranian districts of Lokhvitsa, Chernukhy, Shakhvorostivka, Kybynska and Varva. Donations contributed towards sewage system repairs, the construction of heat generators, repairs to schools and the improvement of local infrastructure. In Latvia, Kuwait Energy’s social responsibility ensured that no concerns were raised about the Company’s planned offshore drilling activity when considered at a public hearing. The Company also completed its annual, two-month internship programme for a group of Kuwaiti and international students offering first-hand experience of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, Kuwait Energy hosted five Latvian graduate students in a three month internship programme providing full-time field and office experience in Egypt and Kuwait. It also completed its fourth consecutive year of involvement in the Kuwait Science Fair, which generates student interest in maths and science from an early age. It also made a voluntary donation to Somalia’s embassy in Kuwait, lending financial assistance to Somalia’s famine victims. The Company seeks to enhance its CSR reputation, year-on-year and is particularly proud of the breadth of initiatives it implements.
Also in Ras Gharib, the Company helped indigenous people to start their own micro-projects, which involved the provision of equipment and merchandise to enable the start of small businesses and the development of entrepreneurship skills. During the holy month of Ramadan, for the second consecutive year, Kuwait Energy distributed 350 food bags, containing essential food products, to underprivileged members of the Ras Gharib community. The Company also participated in a blood donation campaign organized by Egypt’s National Blood Transfusion Center, aimed at helping wounded victims of the January 2011 revolution.

Rippling Planets This work is based on experiential expressionism. Free use of shapes, lines and colors with different tones and hues enabled the artist to express the inner hope and belief in the future. Light and transparent hot colors are set against different tones of blue to enhance the contrast of either color group. The focus is on the mood and the sensation to convey the abstract concept of hope and optimism, hence the dominance of white color on the scene as a symbol of peace and to harmonize the color mix.

David Paterson (JFSC)) for and onn behalf of Deeloitte LLP Chartered d Accountantss London, U UK 012 4 April 20
Scope of the audit of the financial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s affairs as at 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011 and of the group’s profit for the years then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.

INCORPORATION AND ACTIVITIES Kuwait Energy plc (“Company”) is a company incorporated on 12 September 2011 in accordance with the Commercial Companies Law in the Bailiwick of Jersey. The Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) have been established with the objective of exploration for production and commercialisation of crude oil and natural gas. The Company’s registered address is Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 1ES.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RESTRUCTURING The Company is incorporated in Jersey, and is the new ultimate parent company of the Kuwait Energy Group (“Kuwait Energy”) and owner of all the assets and liabilities previously held directly by Kuwait Energy KSSC, following a restructuring of the ownership interests in Kuwait Energy KSSC in December 2011 (the “Restructuring”). During 2011, Kuwait Energy plc acquired all of Kuwait Energy KSSC’s material assets and subsidiaries in consideration for the issue to Kuwait Energy KSSC of 317,500,000 new shares of Kuwait Energy plc. The share capital of Kuwait Energy KSSC was subsequently reduced to 2.5% of the existing share capital and 90% of the shares in Kuwait Energy plc were transferred to Kuwait Energy KSSC’s shareholders on a prorata basis, with the remaining 10% being held by Kuwait Energy KSSC. Immediately prior to the capital reduction, Kuwait Energy KSSC transferred 285,750,000 ordinary shares of £1 in Kuwait Energy plc to Kuwait Energy KSSC shareholders, pro-rata to their shareholding in Kuwait Energy KSSC. After the Restructuring, each Kuwait Energy KSSC shareholder held 25 Kuwait Energy KSSC and 225 Kuwait Energy plc shares for every 1000 Kuwait Energy KSSC shares held immediately prior to the Restructuring.
Although this consolidated financial information has been released in the name of the parent, Kuwait Energy plc, it represents in-substance, continuation of the existing Group, headed by Kuwait Energy plc. For accounting purposes it represents a reorganisation of entities under common control. As such, this business combination was outside the scope of IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and for the period prior to the Restructuring the results have therefore been prepared using the principles of merger accounting. Under this method: • the consolidated assets and liabilities of the previous ultimate parent, Kuwait Energy KSSC, were recognised and measured at the pre-restructuring carrying amounts, without restatement to fair value;
• the results for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the period from 1 January 2011 to the date of the Restructuring are those of Kuwait Energy KSSC; • comparative numbers presented in the consolidated financial statements are those reported in the consolidated financial statements of Kuwait Energy KSSC, for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for the presentation of the share capital and other reserves, which have been restated to reflect the change in the nominal value of the ordinary shares resulting from the Restructuring as if Kuwait Energy plc had been the parent company during such periods; and • the difference between the historical carrying amounts of net assets transferred and consideration received has been recognised as a merger reserve.
These consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 4 April 2012 and are subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders. 2.
ADOPTION OF REVISED STANDARDS In the current year, the following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted and have affected the amounts reported in these financial statements. Standards not affecting the reported results or the financial position
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current year. Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements but may impact the accounting for future transactions and arrangements.

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Revised)
The revision to IAS 24 has clarified the definition of a related party, particularly in relation to significant influence and joint control. It also provides partial exemption for government related entities from the disclosure requirements of IAS 24. IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment)
IAS 32 has been amended to classify a rights issue as an equity instrument if the rights are given pro rata to all existing owners of the equity instrument and the rights are to acquire a fixed number of equity instruments at a fixed price. IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment)
IFRIC 14 has been amended to provide further guidance on the assessment of the recoverable amount of a net pension asset, whereby the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement will now be treated as an asset. IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
IFRIC 19 requires that equity instruments issued in order to extinguish a financial liability are consideration paid. The equity instruments are measured at their fair value or the fair value of the liability extinguished if the fair value of the equity instrument cannot be measured reliably. At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards and Interpretations which have not been applied in these financial statements were in issue but not yet effective:

Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The adoption of IFRS 9 which the Group plans to adopt for the year beginning on 1 January 2015 will impact both the measurement and disclosures of financial instruments and adoption of IFRS 11, required for the year beginning 1 January 2013, may require the Group to make changes to the way in which it presents the results of its various joint venture arrangements. Other than IFRS 9 and IFRS 11, the Directors do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group in future periods.

Financial assets All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs.
Financial assets are classified as “cash and cash equivalents”, “trade and other receivables” and “held to maturity investment”. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows include cash, bank balances and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the consolidated statement of income when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired.

Held to maturity investments
Bonds with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity investment. Held to maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis. Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each consolidated balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been impacted. For trade receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include: (i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or (ii) default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or (iii) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
13 3
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Financial assets (Continued) Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire; or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities and equity Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. 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 Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Oil and gas assets
Oil and gas exploration, evaluation and development expenditure The Group uses the modified full cost method of accounting for exploration, evaluation (together “E&E”)and development expenditure, whereby all expenditures incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, evaluation and development of oil and gas assets, including directly attributable overheads, interest payable and exchange differences directly related to financing development projects, are capitalised in separate geographical cost pools. Cost pools are established on the basis of geographical area having regard to the operational and financial organisation of the Group. Intangible acquisition, exploration and evaluation costs incurred in a geographical area where the Group has no established cost pool are initially capitalised as intangible non-current assets except where they fall outside the scope of IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources” whereby they are expensed as incurred subject to other guidance under IFRS. Tangible non-current assets used in acquisition, exploration and evaluation are classified with tangible noncurrent assets as property, plant and equipment. To the extent that such tangible assets are consumed in exploration and evaluation the amount reflecting that consumption is recorded as part of the cost of the intangible asset. Upon successful conclusion of the appraisal programme and determination that commercial reserves exist, such costs are transferred to tangible non-current assets as property, plant and equipment. Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward are assessed for impairment as described below.
Proceeds from the farm out of exploration and evaluation assets are credited against the relevant cost centre. Any overall surplus arising in a cost centre is credited to the consolidated statement of income. Depreciation and depletion
Trade payables
Depletion is provided on oil and gas assets in production on a field by field basis using the unit of production method, based on proven and probable reserves on a field by field basis, applied to the sum of the total capitalised exploration, evaluation and development costs on a field by field basis, together with estimated future development costs on a field by field basis at current prices. Oil and gas assets which have a similar economic life are aggregated for depreciation purposes. The effects of changes in estimates in the unit of production calculations are accounted for prospectively over the estimated remaining proven and probable reserves of each field.
Borrowings
Impairment of value
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Trade payables are subsequently stated at amortised cost.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Where there has been a change in economic conditions or in the expected use of an asset that indicates a possible impairment in an asset, management tests the recoverability of the net book value of the asset by comparison with the estimated discounted future net cash flows based on management’s expectations of future oil prices and future costs. Any identified impairment is charged to the consolidated statement of income. Intangible non-current assets are considered for impairment at least annually by reference to the indicators in IFRS 6. Where there is an indication of impairment of an exploration and evaluation asset which is within a geographic pool where the Group either has tangible oil and gas assets with commercial reserves or other intangible E&E assets pending determination, the exploration asset is assessed for impairment together with all other cash generating units and related tangible and intangible assets in that geographic pool. Where the exploration asset is in an area where the Group has no established pool and no other E&E assets pending determination, the exploration asset is tested for impairment separately and, where determined to be impaired, is written off.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Oil and gas assets (Continued)
Derivative financial instruments
Commercial reserves
Proven & probable oil and gas reserves as defined in the Petroleum Resources Management System (“PRMS”) are considered as commercial reserves.
Proven reserves include reserves that are confirmed with a high degree of certainty through an analysis of the development history and a volume method analysis of the relevant geological and engineering data. Proven reserves are those that, based on the available evidence and taking into account technical and economic factors, have a better than 90% chance of being produced. Probable reserves are those reserves in which hydrocarbons have been located within the geological structure with a lesser degree of certainty because fewer wells have been drilled and certain operational tests have not been conducted. Probable reserves are those reserves that, on the available evidence and taking into account technical and economic factors, have a better than 50% chance of being produced.
These reserves are being calculated under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as at the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided by contractual arrangements and management’s forecast of future prices.
These estimates, made by the Group’s engineers and periodically evaluated by independent reservoir engineers, are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional data. Revisions are necessary due to changes in, among other things, reservoir performance, prices, economic conditions and governmental restrictions. Other fixed assets Other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price and directly associated costs of bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets on a straight-line basis, on the following basis: Office equipments 5 years Motor vehicles 5 years Furnitures and fittings 10 years The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Maintenance and repairs, replacements and improvements of minor importance are expensed as incurred. Significant improvements and replacement of assets are capitalised.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of other fixed assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Operating leases Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and oil price fluctuations, including interest rate caps and oil put options.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of income immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in the consolidated statement of income depends on the nature of the hedge relationship (see below). A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset while a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability. Hedge accounting The Group designates certain hedging instruments which include oil put options as cash flow hedges in order to mitigate the risk arising from fluctuations in oil prices.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Note 23 sets out details of the fair values of the derivative instrument used for hedging purposes. Cash flow hedges The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to finance income or costs in the consolidated statement of income in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in the consolidated statement of income. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. When a forecast transaction is expected to occur, any gain or loss accumulated in equity at that time remains separately in equity and is recognised in the consolidated statement of income when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the consolidated statement of income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of income. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and revenue can be reliably measured.
Revenue represents the value of sales exclusive of related sales taxes of oil and gas arising from upstream operations when the oil has been lifted and the title has passed. Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

Royalties Royalties are accounted for in the consolidated statement of income in the same period as the income to which they relate and are included within operating expenses. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognised by reference to the underlying arrangement. Inventories Crude oil is valued at fair value less costs to sell. Any changes arising on the revaluation of inventories are recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Other inventories comprising mainly of spare parts, materials and supplies are valued at cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, less allowance for any obsolete or slow moving items. Purchase cost includes the purchase price, import duties, transportation, handling and other direct costs. Foreign currencies The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in USD, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each consolidated statement of financial position date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Nonmonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in consolidated statement of income on disposal of the net investment. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are expressed in USD using exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Contingencies A contingent asset is not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements unless the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. They are disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Other borrowing costs are calculated on the accrual basis and are recognised in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the consolidated statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
A decommissioning provision is calculated as the net present value of the Group’s share of the expenditure which may be incurred at the end of the producing life of each field in the removal and decommissioning of the production, storage and transportation facilities currently in place. The cost of recognising the decommissioning provision is included as part of the cost of the relevant property, plant and equipment and is thus charged to the consolidated statement of income on a unit of production basis in accordance with the Group’s policy for depletion and depreciation of tangible non-current assets. Period charges for changes in the net present value of the decommissioning provision arising from discounting are included in finance costs. Share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 24.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straightline basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Impairment of tangible assets At each consolidated statement of financial position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. Taxation Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to taxes on income in various foreign jurisdictions. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the consolidated statement of financial position date. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements of the relevant subsidiaries and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each consolidated statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the consolidated statement of financial position date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
.JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the consolidated statement of financial position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Recoverability of exploration and evaluation costs Under the modified full cost method of accounting for exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) costs, such costs are capitalised as intangible assets by reference to appropriate cost pools, and are assessed for impairment when circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable value. This assessment involves judgement as to (i) the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined, and (ii) future revenues and costs pertaining to any wider cost pool with which the asset in question is associated, and the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and costs for the purpose of deriving a recoverable value. Note 13 discloses the carrying amounts of the Group’s E&E assets. Impairment of oil and gas properties Determining whether oil and gas properties are impaired requires management to estimate the future net revenue from oil and gas reserves attributable to the Group’s interest in that field. This requires estimates to be made of, in particular, future oil and gas prices, production volumes, capital/operating expenditures and an appropriate discount rate. A net impairment loss of USD 8,520 (2010: USD Nil) was recognised during the year, as described further in note 8. Commercial reserves Both impairment and depletion of the cost of oil and gas properties requires estimates to be made of quantities of commercial oil and gas reserves, which are based on estimates determined by qualified petroleum engineers. Management believes these reserves to be commercially productive and will provide revenues to the Group adequate to recover remaining net un-depreciated and un-depleted capitalised oil and gas properties as at 31 December 2011. Decommissioning The provision for decommissioning obligations depends on the cost and timing of decommissioning works, legal requirements and the discount rate to be applied to such costs. Management have conducted an internal review of these factors, based on information currently available, in the calculation of this provision. The carrying amount of the decommissioning provision at 31 December 2011 is shown in note 21 to these consolidated financial statements. Business combination In a business combination, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell. The Group’s management determines the fair values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities and non-current assets classified as held for sale.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Debtor recoverability

The Group has significant trade receivables which are past due but not impaired, as described in note 16. The majority of this balance is due from Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (“EGPC”). During the course of 2011, the Egyptian political situation remained unstable due to the “Arab Spring” revolutions, which caused a significant delay in the receipt of amounts owed to the Group. However, management believes that all amounts owed at 31 December 2011 will be collected during the course of the coming year. In making this judgement, factors considered include EGPC’s strong track record of ultimate settlement, the receipt of significant (USD 46.4 million) funds during 2011 and an agreement reached subsequent to year-end under which funds will be received on a regular monthly basis.
SEGMENTAL INFORMATION IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The information reported to the Group’s chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assignment of segment performance is specifically focused on the geographical area (country). All of the segment revenue reported below is from external customers. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3. Segment profit represents the operating profit earned by each segment. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:
there are no liabilities for which any segment is jointly liable other than the murabaha facilities from International Finance Corporation (See note 20) amounting to USD 45 Million (2010: USD 45 Million) which has been utilised jointly by the Company, Kuwait Energy Egypt Ltd and Kuwait Energy Yemen Ltd. No revenue or assets arose in or relate to Jersey, the Company’s country of domicile, in either year.

The deferred tax asset shown above primarily arises in Russia, where losses have been incurred in both 2010 and 2011. Management believes it is appropriate to recognize a deferred tax asset, as based on an independent assessment of its commercial reserves, it expects to generate significant taxable profits in future years in Russia. There are no material unrecognized deferred tax assets at either year end, nor any material unprovided deferred tax arising on the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries.

During the year, the Group has written off impaired trade receivables of USD Nil (2010: USD 1,329 thousand). In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. Management believes that there is no credit provision required as all the trade receivables are fully collectible. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivable mentioned above. The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables is approximately equal to their fair value.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 14 October 2008 the shareholders of Kuwait Energy K.S.S.C. (see note 1) approved the issue of shares for nil consideration to employees in accordance with the employee incentive scheme (“EIS”) approved by the Board of Directors (“BOD”). The EIS is available to specified employees employed at the beginning of the financial year and pro-rated for specified employees who have joined before 1 October of the financial year. The entitlement of each employee is determined based on the maximum incentive entitlement decided by the BOD and the weighted average of corporate performance ratings and individual performance ratings. The share awards vest in a staggered manner of 30%, 30% and 40% after one, two and three years respectively. Any unutilised share awards cannot be carried forward. If the employee leaves the Group (other than due to exceptional circumstances beyond the employee’s control) during the vesting period, the unvested shares will be forfeited. If the employee leaves the Group due to exceptional circumstances beyond the employee’s control during the vesting period, the fair value of the unvested share awards will be paid in cash. The unvested shares are not entitled to dividends or bonus shares.

b)
The Group records an expense, based on its best estimate related to the fair value determined by reference to the fair value of the share awards from independent market sources at the dates of the grant 1 January 2008 (139 fils/share), 1 January 2009 (201 fils/share), 1 January 2010 (201 fils/share) and 1 January 2011 (201 fils/share) on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. At 31 December 2011, management has estimated that all 183 employees will be entitled to the shares under the EIS and recognised an expense of USD 1,229 thousand (2010: USD 886 thousand) including reversal of previously recognised expenses relating to forfeited shares as the cost of EIS and credited the share-based compensation reserve in equity. The share-based compensation reserve will be reversed and share capital/share premium credited on issue of the vested shares. Prior to the restructuring described in note 1, Kuwait Energy K.S.S.C issued 916 thousand shares (2010: 361 thousand shares) to employees who exercised their entitlements as at 1 January 2010 under the EIS.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Group is exposed to international commodity-based markets. As a result, it can be affected by changes in crude oil, natural gas and petroleum product prices and interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks but not for speculative purposes. Price risk management
Volatility in oil and gas prices is a pervasive element of the Group’s business environment.
The Group is a seller of crude oil, which is typically sold under short-term arrangements priced in USD at current market prices. In the previous year the Group used oil put options to manage the risks of volatility in crude oil prices. At the end of the current year the Group has not hedged its exposure to oil price risk.
The Group does not sell gas under any long-term agreements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) Market risk (Continued) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it has borrowed funds from banks and financial institutions and has placed funds in interest bearing time deposits with banks during the year. Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposures to interest rates on liabilities are detailed in note 20 to these consolidated financial statements. The Group uses interest rate cap (See note 23) to manage interest rate risk on the murabaha facility. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the profit for the year to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of + 1% with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the Group’s financial instruments held at each consolidated statement of financial position date. All other variables are held constant. There has been no change in the methods and the assumptions used in the preparation of the sensitivity analysis.
A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and negative number indicates decrease in profit. A 1% decrease in the interest rates would have the opposite effect.
Foreign currency risk management
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows: 2011
Kuwaiti Dinar

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The Group’s main foreign currency exposure is to fluctuations in the Kuwait Dinar, Ukraine Hryvnia and Russian Rouble. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the USD against Kuwaiti Dinar, Ukraine Hryvnia and Russian Rouble. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding Kuwaiti Dinar, Ukraine Hryvnia and Russian Rouble denominated monetary assets and liabilities and adjusts their translation at the year end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and a negative number indicates decrease in profit. All other variables are held constant. There have been no changes in the methods and the assumptions used in the preparation of the sensitivity analysis. 2011

Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.
During the year, 67% of total revenue (2010: 60%) was derived from the sales to the Group’s largest counterparty, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (2010: Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation). Further details of the Group’s receivables with EGPC are provided in note 4 (“Debtor recoverability”). The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: 2011

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the management, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and longterm funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

Fair value of financial instruments Management believes that the fair value of all of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities is not significantly different from their respective carrying values. Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to the shareholders through the optimisation of debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2010.
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity comprising issued share capital, share premium and merger reserve (see note 18), other reserves (see note 19) and retained earnings. Gearing ratio

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
AGM: AAPG: barrel:
a) Ukrnafta dispute The Joint Activity Agreement # 410/95 as amended (JAA) governed the joint exploration and development of the Rudivsky-Chervonozavodsky gas condensate field in Ukraine (the RC Field) by Carpatsky Petroleum Corporation (CPC), a subsidiary undertaking of Kuwait Energy, and Ukrnafta OJSC (Ukrnafta). In September 2007, CPC commenced arbitration proceedings against Ukrnafta for various breaches of the JAA including Ukrnafta’s refusal to permit CPC to make additional investments in the JAA in violation of the provisions of the JAA permitting CPC to make such investments, in order to restore its investment in the RC Field from approximately 14.91% back to the 50% level envisaged by the JAA. The arbitration tribunal issued its decision on 24 September 2010 awarding CPC damages in the amount of USD145.7 million plus post-award interest plus costs of approximately USD1.2 million, and declared the JAA terminated by reason of Ukrnafta’s breach. This decision was confirmed by an arbitration tribunal on 16 November 2010. CPC is diligently pursuing collection of the award but has not yet recognized it in the financial statements as recovery proceedings are ongoing. Since CPC’s interest in the RC field has been terminated by the tribunal, the Group has re-classified all the related historical assets and liabilities into ‘other receivables (See note 16). The receivables from Ukrnafta will be set off against the arbitration award upon receipt.

“Once people want life, destiny will definitely respond… Night will definitely vanish, and manacles will definitely be broken” The above verse from the prominent late Arab poet Aboul-Qacem Echebbi (24 February 1909 - 9 October 1934,) was made famous during the Arab Spring Revolution. Here we have used the underlined key words separately, written in modern Arabic calligraphy and using the thematic symbols of the Annual Report to accentuate the words.
