The Board believes that the Company is now be6er posi5oned, not only to survive the current market shakeup, but also to be in a posi5on to take advantage of opportuni5es that may arise both before and a%er a recovery in the sector. As outlined in the Company's Interim financial results, which were released in September 2015, the prevailing market condi5ons have provided the Board with an extremely challenging backdrop against which to operate. As a consequence, the Board has taken decisive ac5on during the period that have de-risked and safeguarded the exis5ng asset por4olio, reduced liabili5es and which have materially reduced opera5onal costs to conserve exis5ng cash resources. In addi5on the Board has been flexible and proac5ve in iden5fying poten5al opportuni5es. Despite the post period end withdrawal from its Mancos and Cisco Dome acreage, the Board believes that its oil and gas por4olio is s5ll of a scale and quality to deliver long term shareholder value. The Paradox assets were acquired due to their prospec5vity, size, loca5on, and rela5vely low breakeven price, and despite the downturn in the oil sector, all these factors s5ll apply. However, by reducing the size of the Company’s acreage, the Board has achieved the twin objec5ve of both retaining the core part of its Oil and Gas por4olio and also significantly reducing costs and liabili5es. While the cost cu7ng across the Group to date has been radical and far-reaching, the Board has ensured that it has retained an opera5onal capability sufficient to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future. As well as protec5ng the exis5ng asset base and posi5oning the Group for the eventual upturn, the Board is also confident that the Company can take advantage of poten5al acquisi5on opportuni5es that will inevitably arise. We have reviewed numerous poten5al opportuni5es since the downturn in the oil price, looking to create shareholder value ahead of the recovery of the oil sector, and I was delighted that we have recently secured an investment in the Company which will enable us to pursue some very exci5ng prospects in Cuba. We believe that a transac5on in this space would complement our exis5ng asset por4olio, and that the investment demonstrates confidence in the Company’s management team to deliver on the project. The overall economic and poli5cal changes taking place in Cuba present a striking opportunity, with direct foreign investment now being a priority, to realise the country’s an5cipated growth. In the tourism industry alone, the planned expansion of hotel developments from both domes5c and interna5onal brands is considerable. While there is no certainty that any transac5on will complete, we have had, and con5nue to be in direct discussions with, both a Cuban Government owned company and the relevant ministries in Havana about a poten5al transac5on. In summary, the strategy of the Company is clear and the next phase of ac5vity is clearly defined; the mining and Oil and Gas asset por4olio is de-risked, secure and is well posi5oned for recovery, costs and liabili5es have been reduced to ensure the longevity of the Company and we will con5nue to whole-heartedly pursue the Cuban opportunity and any other projects that will deliver value near-term to our shareholders. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rt Hon Earl of Kilmorey PC for his commitment and support during his 5me as Chairman, and to our investors, advisers and employees for their con5nuing support during this challenging period. The Board is looking forward to upda5ng you on progress throughout the rest of 2016, which promises to be an exci5ng period in the Company’s ongoing evolu5on. PE Jeffcock 6 June 2016 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 03 Rose Petroleum plc Strategic Report The Directors present their strategic report on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015. Principal Objec2ves and Strategies Rose Petroleum plc is a diversified Oil & Gas (“O&G”) and Mining Company with both explora5on and produc5on assets. The key strategic objec5ve is to deliver shareholder returns through the enhancement of these assets. This key objec5ve will be achieved by various strategies: • • • • • con5nuing development of a Board consis5ng of highly experienced professionals covering O&G, mineral explora5on, mine development, financing and financial control of public companies; strong and experienced management teams to maximise returns from the Company’s underlying O&G and Mining assets; the poten5al acquisi5on of further interests through acquisi5on, farm-in agreements and joint arrangements to deliver near-term value to stakeholders; considera5on of the capital and financing required to achieve our objec5ves and market percep5on; and 5ght financial control and cash conserva5on. Review of Opera2ons Oil & Gas Division U.S.A. During the strong oil price environment of 2014 and early 2015, the Group entered into agreements under which it was able to earn into a 75% working interest in approximately 263,000 gross acres in Utah. The area of focus of the acreage is on two unconven5onal oil and gas basins: the Uinta Basin, which targets the Mancos Shale at a maximum depth of approximately 3,200%, and the Paradox Basin that targets the Paradox Clas5cs at a maximum depth of approximately 10,500%. Under the terms of the original agreement, the Group was to carry the seller of the acreage, Rockies Standard Oil Company LLC (“RSOC”), which was to retain a 25% working interest in the leasehold, for the first US$17 million expenditure on the projects: US$9.5 million in the Uinta Basin and US$7.5 million in the Paradox Basin. Part of the Group’s land posi5on was secured through the acquisi5on, in October 2014, of the Cisco Dome Field, adjacent to the Mancos acreage, which included 76 miles of a mid-stream gathering system, a gas processing plant, a compressor sta5on and main pipeline tap and meter into Williams’ 26” natural gas pipeline. The Cisco Dome field also contained over fi%y historical conven5onal wells. During 2014, and subsequent to the acquisi5on of the Cisco Dome field, Ryder Sco6 Company LP (“Ryder Sco6”) completed a reserve report on the Utah leasehold. Based on that reserve report, the Group’s Mean Un-Risked Recoverable Prospec5ve Resources across its total acreage were es5mated to be 1.8 billion barrels of oil (“BO”) and 6.45 trillion cubic feet of gas (“TCFG”), see Table 1 below. Of these total resources, it was es5mated by Ryder Sco6 that the Paradox acreage contained over 1.1 billion BO (61% of the total BO resources es5mated) and circa 2.2 TCFG (34% of the total gas resources es5mated), whilst the Mancos acreage contained circa 710 million BO (39% of the total BO resources es5mated) and circa 4,260 TCFG (66% of the total gas resources es5mated). 04 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Strategic Report con5nued Table 1: Es5mated 100% Gross Volumes Unrisked Prospec5ve Recoverable Hydrocarbon Resources (Es5mated Ul5mate Recoverable Reserves -EUR) in the Mancos Shale (Uinta Basin) and Paradox Forma5on (Paradox Basin): Prospect/ Forma2on EUR Oil/Condensate – MMBO EUR Gas – BCFG Low Best High Mean Low Best High Mean Mancos Totals 178.20 517.79 1,465.79 709.78 1,054.6 3,090.86 8,810.70 4,260.41 Paradox Totals 452.27 966.37 1,994.50 1,115.29 874.43 1,888.46 3,913.55 2,187.46 (MMBO = million barrels of oil, BCFG = billion cubic feet gas) (Full Report available on the website: www.rosepetroleum.com) In the report, Ryder Sco6 also gave an opinion on the chance of success in the Paradox and Mancos acreage and concluded that the chance of success within the Paradox leases was up to 56%, compared with 30% in the Mancos leases. During the la6er part of 2014 and during 2015, the Group concentrated its efforts on the Mancos due to the rela5ve ease of drilling with its shallow depth, low drilling costs, and good infrastructure. The Board was hopeful that a demonstra5on of the prospec5vity of the Mancos could be achieved in quick 5me and that a successful drilling campaign would provide the catalyst of cashflow that would enable the commencement of the Paradox ac5vity. Although the ini5al analy5cal results from the core taken at the State 1-34 well within the Mancos acreage were encouraging, the Group’s follow up work, which was designed to further de-risk the opportunity, was not as convincing as was hoped and it led the Board to conclude, as part of its strategic review, that the Mancos, due to its depth in the loca5on of the Group’s acreage, may have had insufficient pressure/energy to be commercial and therefore represents too high a risk profile to merit further work at that stage. The Board concluded that the Paradox basin presents a lower risk opportunity, with greater poten5al and a higher chance of success. The Paradox Basin has been ac5vely exploited by Fidelity Explora5on and Produc5on (“Fidelity”), mainly in the Cane Creek Forma5on, 18 to 27 miles south-south east of the main group Paradox lease blocks. Fidelity has been the most ac5ve operator in the Paradox basin over the past two years with average Q1 2015 produc5on of 2,100 barrels of oil per day (“boepd”). In addi5on to Fidelity’s success, mul5ple wells in the area of the Group’s leases have produced oil and gas to surface from various forma5ons, and it is a combina5on of all these factors that led the Board to the conclusion that it should focus on its Paradox Basin acreage. Revised agreement with RSOC Having considered all of the above, the Board announced in April 2016 that it had entered into an agreement with RSOC to terminate its earn-in rights to the Mancos acreage and dispose of the Cisco Dome field, wells, pipelines, gas tap, gas plant, and all the associated equipment and liabili5es. As part of the revised agreement with RSOC, the Group agreed to cover the cost of the exis5ng plug and abandonment (“P&A”) liability of the four wells already scheduled for P&A with the authori5es, which was calculated to be US$0.3 million. The Group also agreed to leave the exis5ng operator bonds in place with the State of Utah and Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). RSOC, in turn, agreed to reduce the Group’s carry obliga5on to earn the 75% working interest in the Paradox acreage by US$2 million to US$5.5 million. The Group also gained the exclusive op5on to acquire 100% of RSOC’s interest (as opposed to the earn-in to 75% of RSOC’s interest) in the Paradox acreage for a one-5me payment of US$1.0 million at any 5me prior to 30 June 2016. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 05 Rose Petroleum plc Strategic Report con5nued The reassignment of the Mancos assets will significantly reduce the future expenses the Group would have had to pay on this acreage including lease rental/minimum royalty payments associated to the Mancos leasehold. Further, and poten5ally more importantly, the Group will no longer be liable for the P&A liability of the fi%y plus wells in the Cisco Dome field. This reduc5on of acreage has also led to a reduc5on of headcount in the O&G Denver office and there is now only one full-5me employee managing the Paradox acreage. Next steps The Group is currently in the process of obtaining permits for a 61 square mile 3D seismic shoot in the Paradox which we an5cipate will be granted in Q4 2016. It is hoped that posi5ve results from this seismic will provide a sufficient base on which to secure a funding partner to enable the Group to drill its first Paradox well. The Board feels that its strategy to unlock value from the Paradox should be the same as that used by Fidelity, namely a 3D seismic shoot for target iden5fica5on followed by drilling. Mining Division Gold and Silver Mining Opera2ons, Mexico The Group’s mining projects in Mexico con5nue to be operated by its wholly owned subsidiary, Minerales VANE S.A. de C.V. (“MV”), which is headquartered in Acaponeta, Nayarit. Mill produc5on is carried out at its nearby mill in San Dieguito de Arriba (“SDA”) where it also operates an analy5cal facility. Mine produc5on from the Mina Charay Mine located in northern Sinaloa commenced in late December 2014 and con5nued un5l November 2015. Produc5on ramped up as the mine was developed and by the end of June, ore produc5on had reached the forecasted rate of 100 tonnes/day. A total of approximately 23,500 tonnes of ore were mined from Mina Charay during 2015, and these tonnes were processed by the SDA mill. This tonnage yielded 3,391 ounces (“oz “) of gold and 26,736 oz of silver. The average mill head grade for period averaged 6.03 grammes per tonne (“g/T”) gold and 61.4 g/T silver. Recoveries for the period averaged 71.7% for gold and 54.4% for silver. These recoveries were slightly lower than had been forecasted due to oxide ore being encountered while developing the mine in the upper part of the vein where there was no drill coverage. Unfortunately, the posi5ve opera5onal efforts were overshadowed by the con5nued decline in metals prices. This, combined with the lower than expected recoveries put a strain on the opera5on and the Board took the decision to suspend opera5ons, a decision which was announced to the market on 9 December 2015. The Company is now focusing on toll milling third party ore at the SDA mill while it searches for new joint produc5on opportuni5es. The processing of third party ore has already commenced and further ore has been iden5fied which will enable the Company to keep the mill opera5ng and is expected to more than cover the direct opera5ng costs of the mill. Base and Precious Metal Explora2on, Mexico During 2014, the Group added the Tango project to its por4olio, consis5ng of the Tango, Tango 2, Tango 3 and Tango 5 concessions located in southern Sinaloa. The Tango property covers what appears to be a classic base and precious metals porphyry system. The property hosts two porphyries, one containing copper and the other, molybdenum mineraliza5on as well as several historic high-grade, narrow-vein gold and silver mines on the margin of and associated with the porphyries which could provide near-term produc5on to SDA. Minera Camargo had completed significant explora5on on the property and brought the program to the drilling stage. MV verified the work and the project was entered into by means of a profit share and op5on agreement with Minera Camargo S.A. de C.V. (“Camargo”). The four Tango concessions cover 3,954 hectares (39.54km²). 06 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Strategic Report con5nued Under the terms of the agreement, MV will operate all mining ac5vi5es and gross margin from the precious metals veins would be allocated on the basis of a 50:50 profit split. In addi5on, MV holds an op5on to earn a 75% ownership of the base metals (the porphyries) by inves5ng US$5 million in work expenditures over a period of five years. During 2015, the Group was ac5ve in preparing permit applica5ons and all permits required to commence drilling at the project have now been received. The Board is now reviewing op5ons for the commencement of a drilling programme. These permits will also cover drilling the high-grade vein structure at the San Agus5n gold and silver mine. It is hoped that, when drilled, this mine will, due to its close proximity, provide ore for the Company’s SDA mill, which is located considerably closer to the mill than the Mina Charay Mine. Due to current market condi5ons, there have not yet been sufficient funds available to commence drilling at the Tango project. The Board is now considering a number of different op5ons for advancing the project and will keep the market updated on progress. Copper Explora2on, Southwest U.S.A. The Group’s U.S. porphyry copper programme is operated by its wholly owned subsidiary AVEN Associates LLC located in Tucson, Arizona. The copper explora5on programme con5nues on a care and maintenance basis with the property posi5ons being kept current while third-party financing is sought to con5nue the programme. AVEN met with a number of interested par5es during the year and interest con5nued through the end of the year and into 2016. In April 2016, the Group announced that it had entered into an agreement with privately held Burde6 Gold LLC to conduct explora5on drilling on the Ardmore copper project which consists of 18 unpatented mining claims located north of Tucson. The terms included a US$5,350 cash payment to the Group and a retained 15% carried interest on the claims as well as any property that Burde6 acquires which is located within a 3-mile area of interest. Burde6 will be responsible for opera5ons and the Group is released from all costs and liabili5es. Burde6 has received the drilling permit and commenced drilling during April. Uranium Explora2on, U.S.A. The Group’s uranium assets con5nue to be held and managed in its wholly owned subsidiary VANE Minerals (US) LLC (“VANE”), and the programme is led by the joint opera5on with Anfield Resources Inc. (“Anfield”). During 2015, Anfield acquired the 50% interest in the joint opera5on previously held by Uranium One Americas Inc. The most significant asset was the Wate Project located on State of Arizona lands and operated under Wate Mining Company LLC. (“Wate”), and in February 2015, the Board disposed of the Group’s 50% interest in Wate project to EFR Arizona Strip LLC. (“EFR”), a subsidiary of Energy Fuels Resources. A total considera5on of US$1.75 million was agreed, consis5ng of an immediate cash payment of US$0.25 million, a US$0.5 million non-interest bearing promissory note, payable in two equal instalments of US$0.25 million on each of the first and second anniversaries of Closing, a further US$0.5 million condi5onal cash, and a 2% produc5on royalty on EFR’s stake in the project. A further US$0.25 million tranche of considera5on was due to be paid to the Group in Q1 2016. The Group was informed by EFR that it is having delays with the State of Arizona over obtaining the Mineral Lease on the project due to the State’s unusual condi5on that EFR obtain access rights to the project over private land that surrounds the State parcel. Consequently, EFR proposed an addendum to the agreement terms whereby they would pay US$0.05 million of the US$0.25 million due in Q1 2016 and defer the rest of the payment un5l the commencement of commercial produc5on. The only real alterna5ve was for EFR to default on the agreement and return the Group’s 50% interest in the project. Given EFR’s scale and presence in this market, the Group felt that it was in the best interests of shareholders to accept the US$0.05 million and agree to the addendum to the original Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 07 Rose Petroleum plc Strategic Report con5nued contract. Therefore, by the end of February 2016, EFR had paid US$0.3 million of its contractual considera5on payments. EFR is ac5vely engaged in securing access to, as well as the environmental permi7ng, on the project. Cuba Gypsum Opportunity In May 2016, the Group announced that it has raised gross proceeds of US$1.2 million (£800,000), primarily to further develop opportuni5es that have arisen in Cuba and specifically around the processing and manufacturing of gypsum and associated building materials. As men5oned in the Chairman’s Statement, the Board believes that there are significant near term opportuni5es in the Cuban construc5on industry, which would complement the exis5ng asset base and enable the Group to seek to create value in this rapidly expanding market. The overall economic and poli5cal changes taking place in Cuba present a significant opportunity, with direct foreign investment now being a priority to realise the country’s an5cipated growth. In the tourism industry alone the planned expansion of hotel developments from both domes5c and interna5onal brands is considerable. The Group could be well posi5oned to benefit from this should we successfully complete our nego5a5ons. It is worth no5ng that, at present, there is no domes5c supply or produc5on of gypsum panels or wallboard for the construc5on of internal walls within Cuba, and providing domes5c sources is naturally very important for Cuba and its development. Cuban authori5es have stated that there are significant gypsum resources within Cuba that can support manufacturing and have allowed Group representa5ves to visit one of the deposits. The Board will keep the market fully updated on progress. Financial Review Income Statement Revenue for the year was generated primarily from the Group’s precious metals mining and milling opera5ons in Mexico. The Income Statement reports total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2015 of US$4.3 million (2014: US$3.1 million). The increase in revenues was primarily the result of having a near full year of produc5on from the Mina Charay gold/silver project which was not the case in 2014. Opera5ons at Mina Charay ceased in December 2015 and the Group is currently focusing on toll milling third party ore at the SDA mill while it explores new opportuni5es. The Group reports a net loss a%er tax of US$9.1 million or 0.45 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2015 (2014: net loss a%er tax of US$5.9 million or 0.55 cents per share). The net loss for 2015 includes a non-cash charge of US$1.5 million (2014: US$0.8 million) rela5ng to share-based payments. An impairment of part of the Group’s intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets resulted in a charge of US$3.7 million (2014: US$1.0 million) during the year. Balance Sheet Total investment in intangible assets at 31 December 2015 was US$10.2 million (2014: US$9.9 million) primarily reflec5ng investment into the Utah O&G assets. Property, plant and equipment at 31 December 2015 was US$0.6 million (2014: US$0.8 million) reflec5ng the con5nued deprecia5on of the ore processing mill. Trade and other receivables of US$1.5 million (2014: US$1.0 million) represent amounts due in rela5on to trade and other receivables and VAT recoverable. VAT and tax recoverable in Mexico make up US$1.0 million of the current outstanding. 08 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Strategic Report con5nued Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2015 were US$2.4 million (2014: US$8.4 million). During the year the Company raised gross proceeds of US$3.1 million through the placing of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. Significant Equity Events In May 2015, the Company raised gross proceeds of US$3.1 million by way of a condi5onal placing and a subscrip5on of 1,040,000,007 Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each at a price of 0.3p per share. In May 2016, post period end, the Company raised gross proceeds of US$ 1.2 million (£0.8 million) by way of an uncondi5onal placing of 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each at a price of 0.16p per share. Going Concern The Directors have set out in note 3 to the financial statements their considera5on of the future financing requirements of the Group and, having made appropriate enquiries and having examined the major areas which could affect the Group’s financial posi5on, the Directors are sa5sfied that the Group has adequate resources to con5nue in opera5on for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This assessment has been carried out in the light of the guidance issued to the Directors by the Financial Repor5ng Council. Key Performance Indicators The Group measures its progress against a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) which are reviewed regularly by the Board. These are set out below: • • • 5ght cost control and monitoring of actual expenditure versus budget; opera5onal efficiencies at the Group’s milling opera5on including monitoring gold recoveries from ore; CAPEX controls including the monitoring of overall costs of drilling wells in the Paradox Basins; and • monitoring of G&A expenditure versus budget and peer group. Risks and Uncertain2es and Risk Management There are a number of poten5al risks and uncertain5es which could have a material impact on the Group’s long term performance and could cause actual results to differ from expected and historical results. The principal risks and uncertain5es that we face are: Non-Financial Risks • Overseas territories experience varying degrees of poli5cal instability. There can be no assurance that poli5cal stability will con5nue in those countries where the Group currently has, or in future will have, opera5ons. Poli5cal instability or changes in government law or policies could materially affect the rights and 5tle to the interests held by the Group, and the opera5ons and financial condi5on of the Group could be adversely affected. • • The U.S.A. Department of Interior has issued a 20-year withdrawal from mineral entry on approximately 1 million acres in the northern Arizona’s uranium breccia pipe district. This order prevents work on our claims located on Federal lands. State of Arizona lands, on which the Group is now focusing its efforts, are unaffected by this withdrawal. The geographic loca5ons of the Group’s opera5ons can present logis5cal difficul5es in the installa5on, opera5on and maintenance of equipment related to the ac5vi5es of the business. The Group currently generates its income from mining ac5vi5es operated by contractors and is at risk of any disrup5on to mining or milling ac5vi5es for reasons beyond the Group’s control. The Group has excellent rela5onships with mining contractors opera5ng at the mine and has access to alterna5ve contractors if required. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 09 Rose Petroleum plc Strategic Report con5nued • • The Group’s opera5ons are such that minor and major injuries as well as fatali5es could occur which could result in the temporary closure of the Group’s opera5ons. In certain overseas territories the Group might be unable to obtain the comprehensive level of insurance cover that would be available in the United Kingdom. Financial Risks • There is a risk that the carrying value of the Group’s assets will not be recovered through future revenues, leading to significant impairment losses. The Group manages the recoverability of its assets and assesses the economic viability throughout the explora5on, development and produc5on phases. • • • • The ac5vi5es of the Group are subject to fluctua5ons in prices and demand for commodi5es, which are vola5le and cannot be controlled. Changes in U.S. legisla5on may affect future opera5ons in that royal5es on minerals extracted from federal lands may be imposed. Funds are maintained by the Group in GBP, MXN and USD. There is a risk that purchasing power in Mexico and the U.S. is lost through foreign exchange transla5on. The Group considers its foreign exchange risk to be a normal and acceptable business exposure and does not hedge against the risk. There is a risk that there will be insufficient funds to meet all corporate, development and produc5on obliga5ons and ac5vi5es and con5nue as a going concern into the foreseeable future. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Management regularly reviews the Group’s cash flow projec5ons and forecasts. Corporate Social Responsibility Employee Recruitment and Reten2on Although the Group had no quan5ta5ve target for the number of employees it needs or retains, this metric is closely monitored. The Group has an excellent record of retaining key staff. Health and Safety It is the objec5ve of the Group to ensure the health and safety of its employees and of any other persons who could be affected by its opera5ons. It is the Group’s policy to provide working environments which are safe and without risk to health and provide informa5on, instruc5on, training and supervision to ensure the health and safety of its employees. Significant Rela2onships The Group enjoys good rela5onships with all of its suppliers, professional advisers and opera5onal partners. Future Developments Your Board, management and dedicated teams con5nue to inves5gate and evaluate new opportuni5es to increase shareholder value. The Company will con5nue to operate its exis5ng O&G and Mining assets and will con5nue to look to enhance the value from these. We would like to thank all shareholders for their con5nued support.

The Board and its Commi3ees Board mee5ngs are scheduled every month with contact between mee5ngs as required. The mee5ngs are held to set and monitor strategy, review explora5on and trading performance, examine acquisi5on possibili5es and cash forecasts and approve reports to shareholders. The ma6ers reserved for the Board include, amongst others, approval of the Group’s long term objec5ves, policies and budgets, changes rela5ng to the Group’s management structure, approval of the Group’s financial statements and ensuring maintenance of good systems of internal control. Procedures are established to ensure that appropriate informa5on is communicated to the Board in a 5mely manner to enable it to fulfil its du5es. Details of Directors who served during the year are set out in the Directors’ Report. The Board is currently comprised of three execu5ve Directors and two non-execu5ve Directors, one of whom acts as Chairman. There are separate roles for the Chairman and the Chief Execu5ve Officer. The Board has established an Audit Commi6ee, which comprises of a non-execu5ve Director, PE Jeffcock. The structure of the Audit Commi6ee is currently being reviewed. The Audit Commi6ee meets twice a year and the external auditor is invited to mee5ngs where appropriate. The main responsibili5es of the Audit Commi6ee are to review and report to the Board on ma6ers rela5ng to: • • • • • the integrity of the financial statements of the Group, including its annual and interim accounts; the effec5veness of the Group’s internal controls and risk management systems; the accoun5ng policies and prac5ces of the Group; audit plans and auditor’s report, including any significant concerns the external auditor may have arising from their audit work; and the terms of appointment, remunera5on and independence of the auditor. The Board has established a Remunera5on Commi6ee, which comprises a non-execu5ve Director, PE Jeffcock. The structure of the Remunera5on Commi6ee is currently being reviewed. The Remunera5on Commi6ee meets twice a year and reviews the performance of the execu5ve Directors and the scale and structure of their remunera5on having due regard to the interests of the shareholders.

Financial and other informa5on about the Company is available on the Company’s website www.rosepetroleum.com. 14 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Corporate Governance Statement con5nued Internal Controls The Board is responsible for establishing the Group’s system of internal controls and for reviewing its effec5veness. However, such a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objec5ves, and can only provide the Board with reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The key procedures that have been established, and which are designed to provide effec5ve internal control are as follows: • • • • each of the Group’s subsidiaries is managed by an execu5ve Director and there is a management repor5ng process in place to enable the Board to monitor the performance of the Group on a regular basis; an annual forecast is prepared and formally adopted by the Board. This is reviewed on a regular basis and actual performance against forecast is closely monitored; the Board reviews the major business risks faced by the Group and determines the appropriate course of ac5ons required to manage those risks; the Board approves proposals for the acquisi5on of new businesses and sets guidelines for the development of new proper5es. Capital expenditure is regulated and wri6en proposals must be submi6ed to the Board for any expenditure above specified levels; and • consolidated management informa5on is prepared on a regular basis. The Board reviews the effec5veness of the system of internal controls and the control environment. No significant control deficiencies were reported during the year and no weaknesses in internal controls have resulted in any material losses, con5ngencies or uncertainty which would require disclosure as recommended by the guidance for Directors on repor5ng on internal controls. The Board has reviewed the need for an independent internal audit func5on and has concluded that the Group is not large enough to warrant this at the present 5me. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 15 Rose Petroleum plc Statement of Directors’ Responsibili5es The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regula5ons. Company law requires the Directors to prepare group and parent company financial statements for each financial year. As required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange they are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare the Parent Company financial statements on the same basis. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are sa5sfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and parent company and of their profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the Group and parent company financial statements, the Directors are required to: • select suitable accoun5ng policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgements and es5mates that are reasonable and prudent; • • state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the Company will con5nue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accoun5ng records that are sufficient to show and explain the Parent Company’s transac5ons and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any 5me the financial posi5on of the Parent Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregulari5es.

General Informa2on Rose Petroleum plc (the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is domiciled and incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The address of the registered office is 145-157 St John Street, London, EC1V 4PW. The nature of the Group’s opera5ons and its principal ac5vi5es are the explora5on and development of O&G resources together with the evalua5on and acquisi5on of other mineral explora5on targets, principally gold, silver, uranium and copper, and the development and opera5on of mines in Mexico. As permi6ed by sec5on 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the parent company’s income statement and statement of other comprehensive income have not been included in these financial statements. The loss for the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015 is US$8.9 million (2014: US$0.9 million). 2. Adop2on of New and Revised Standards Standards affec2ng presenta2on and disclosure In the current year, the following new and revised Standards have been adopted but have not had any material impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements: Amendments to IAS 19 IFRIC 21 Defined benefit plan: employee contribu&ons Levies Annual improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 cycle Annual improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 cycle At the date of authorisa5on of the financial statements, the following Standards and Interpreta5ons which have not been applied in the financial statements were in issue but not yet effec5ve (and in some cases had not yet been adopted by the EU): IFRS 9 IFRS 14 IFRS 15 IFRS 16 Financial instruments Regulatory deferral accounts Revenue from contracts with customers Leases Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale of contribu&on of assets between an investor and its associates or joint venture Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment en&&es: applying the consolida&on excep&on Amendments to IFRS 11 Amendments of IAS 1 Amendments of IAS 7 Amendments of IAS 12 Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Accoun&ng for acquisi&ons of interests in joint opera&ons Presenta&on of financial statements – disclosure ini&a&ve Statement of cash flows – disclosure ini&a&ve Recogni&on of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses Clarifica&on of acceptable methods of deprecia&on and amor&sa&on Amendments to IAS 27 Equity method in separate financial statements Annual improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle The Directors do not expect that the adop5on of these Standards or Interpreta5ons in future periods will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company or the Group. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 27 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies Basis of Accoun2ng The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Interna5onal Financial Repor5ng Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the Interna5onal Accoun5ng Standards Board (“IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union (“EU”). The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the considera5on given in exchange for assets. For these reasons, the Directors con5nue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that would result from the basis of prepara5on being inappropriate. The principal accoun5ng policies adopted are set out below. Restatement With effect from 1 January 2015, the Company and the Group’s presenta5on currency changed from pounds sterling (“£”) to United States dollar (“US$”) as the Directors considered the US$ to be more representa5ve of the sector in which the Group primarily operates. In accordance with Interna5onal Accoun5ng Standards, this change has been applied retrospec5vely and compara5ves for the year ended 31 December 2014 were translated, for all balance sheet items except equity, using US$: £ exchange spot rate at that date, being US$ 1.5532, for the income statement using the average US$: £ exchange rate during the year being US$1.6476, and for the opening balances as at 1 January 2014, except equity, using the US$: £ spot rate on that date being US$1.6488. Share capital, share premium and other reserves were translated at the historic rates prevailing at the dates of transac5ons, and assets and liabili5es of Group en55es, where the func5onal currency is other than US$, were translated into US$ at the relevant closing rates of exchange. Trading results were translated into US$ at the relevant average rates of exchange. Historical differences arising from the retransla5on to US$ up to 1 January 2014 have been taken directly to the foreign currency transla5on reserve. Foreign opera5ons are included in accordance with the policies set out in note 3. Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Group currently generates small amounts of cash through its third party toll milling opera5ons in Mexico which the Group intends to con5nue for the foreseeable future. The Group has no bank facili5es and meets its working capital requirements from cash resources. At the year end, the Group had cash and cash equivalents amoun5ng to US$2.4 million. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the Group for the period to June 2017 based on their assessment of the prospects of the Group’s opera5ons. The cash flow forecast includes US$1.2 million from an uncondi5onal share placing of 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each, which the Company completed in May 2016. These cash flow forecasts, which include the Group’s expected opera5ng costs for all opera5ons, including the necessary and specific expenditure to meet the minimum O&G opera5onal and explora5on licence expenditure, indicate that the Group has sufficient funding to meet its minimum obliga5ons as they fall due. For these reasons, the Directors con5nue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that would result from the basis of prepara5on being inappropriate. 28 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued The Directors acknowledge that if the Group chooses to con5nue into the development stage it will require the Group to raise addi5onal funds. Despite challenging capital markets, the Company and Group have been successful historically in raising equity finance and consider that they have reasonable grounds for believing these past successes will, if required, and based on opera5onal progress, con5nue and so enable the Group to expand development and/or take advantage of any new explora5on opportuni5es that arise. In preparing these financial statements the Directors have given considera5on to the above ma6ers and on that basis they believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Basis of Consolida2on The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings (together, ‘the Group’) made up to 31 December each year. Subsidiary undertakings are those en55es controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the en5ty and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the en5ty. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the date on which control is transferred to the Group or, up to the date that control ceases, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring accoun5ng policies used into line with those used by the Group. The Group applies the acquisi5on method to account for business combina5ons. The considera5on for each acquisi5on is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabili5es incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquire. Where applicable, the considera5on for the acquisi5on includes any asset or liability resul5ng from a con5ngent considera5on arrangement, measured at its acquisi5on-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisi5on where they qualify as measurement period adjustments. All other subsequent changes in the fair value of con5ngent considera5on classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant IFRSs. Con5ngent considera5on that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent se6lement is accounted for within equity. Acquisi5on-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. On acquisi5on, the assets and liabili5es and con5ngent liabili5es of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisi5on. Any excess of the cost of the acquisi5on over the fair values of the iden5fiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisi5on below the fair values of the iden5fiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisi5on) is credited to the income statement in the period of acquisi5on. Where a business combina5on is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously-held interests in the acquired en5ty are re-measured at fair value at the acquisi5on date and the resul5ng gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisi5on date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. All intra-group transac5ons, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolida5on. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 29 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Joint Arrangements The Group iden5fies joint arrangements as those arrangements in which two or more par5es have joint control, where joint control is evidenced by the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists where the decisions about the relevant ac5vi5es require the unanimous consent of the par5es sharing control. Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint opera5ons or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obliga5ons of each investor. Joint opera5ons are iden5fied as those agreements whereby the par5es have rights to the assets and obliga5ons for liabili5es rela5ng to the arrangement. Joint opera5ons are accounted for by recognising the operator’s relevant share of assets, liabili5es, revenues and expenses. Joint ventures are iden5fied as those agreements whereby the par5es have rights to the net assets of the arrangement and are accounted for using equity accoun5ng in accordance with IAS 28. Interest in joint ventures are ini5ally recognised at cost and adjusted therea%er to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisi5on profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obliga5ons or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint opera5ons. The Group’s share of the assets, liabili5es, income and expenses of jointly controlled en55es is combined with the equivalent items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis. Non-Current Assets Held For Sale Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transac5on rather than through con5nuing use. This condi5on is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condi5on. Management must be commi6ed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recogni5on as a completed sale within one year from the date of classifica5on. When the Group is commi6ed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabili5es of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary a%er the sale. Investments Long term investments represen5ng interests in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less any provision for impairment in the value of the non-current investment. Intangible Explora2on and Evalua2on Assets The Group applies the full cost method of accoun5ng for Explora5on and Evalua5on (“E&E”) costs, having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6 Explora&on for and Evalua&on of Mineral Resources. Under the full cost method of accoun5ng, costs of exploring for and evalua5ng mineral resources are accumulated by reference to appropriate cost centres being the appropriate licence area, but are tested for impairment on a cost pool basis as described below. 30 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued E&E assets comprise costs of (i) E&E ac5vi5es that are on-going at the balance sheet date, pending determina5on of whether or not commercial reserves exist and (ii) costs of E&E that, whilst represen5ng part of the E&E ac5vi5es associated with adding to the commercial reserves of an established cost pool, did not result in the discovery of commercial reserves. Costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed directly to the income statement as they are incurred. Explora(cid:27)on and evalua(cid:27)on costs All costs of E&E are ini5ally capitalised as E&E assets. Payments to acquire the legal right to explore, costs of technical services and studies, seismic acquisi5on, exploratory drilling and tes5ng are capitalised as intangible E&E assets. Intangible costs include directly a6ributable overheads together with the cost of other materials consumed during the explora5on and evalua5on phases. Treatment of E&E assets at conclusion of appraisal ac(cid:27)vi(cid:27)es Intangible E&E assets related to each explora5on licence/project are carried forward un5l the existence (or otherwise) of commercial reserves has been determined. If commercial reserves have been discovered, the related E&E asset are assessed for impairment on a cost pool basis as set out below and any impairment is recognised in the income statement. The carrying value, a%er any impairment loss, of the relevant E&E assets is then reclassified as development and produc5on assets. Intangible E&E assets that related to E&E ac5vi5es that are determined not to have resulted in the discovery of commercial reserves remain capitalised as intangible E&E assets at cost less accumulated amor5sa5on, subject to mee5ng a pool-wide impairment test in accordance with the accoun5ng policy for impairment of E&E assets set out below. Such E&E assets are amor5sed on a unit-of-produc5on basis over the life of the commercial reserves of the pool to which they relate. Impairment of Intangible Explora2on and Evalua2on Assets E&E assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. Such indicators include, but are not limited to, those situa5ons outlined in paragraph 20 of IFRS 6 Explora&on for and Evalua&on of Mineral Resources and include the point at which a determina5on is made as to whether or not commercial reserves exist. Where there are indica5ons of impairment, the E&E assets concerned are tested for impairment. Where the E&E assets concerned fall within the scope of an established full cost pool, the E&E assets are tested for impairment together with all development and produc5on assets associated with that cost pool, as a single cash genera5ng unit. The aggregate carrying value is compared against the expected recoverable amount of the pool, generally by reference to the present value of the future net cash flow expected to be derived from produc5on of commercial reserves. Where the E&E assets to be tested fall outside the scope of any established cost pool, there will generally be no commercial reserves and the E&E assets concerned will generally be wri6en off in full. If the recoverable amount of a cash-genera5ng unit is es5mated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the cash-genera5ng unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 31 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the cash-genera5ng unit is increased to the revised es5mate 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 cash- genera5ng unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group considers each area of explora5on, gold and silver, uranium, copper and oil & gas on a geographical basis to be a separate cost pool and therefore aggregates all specific assets for the purposes of determining whether impairment of E&E assets has occurred. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated deprecia5on and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any costs directly a6ributable to bringing the asset into use. Deprecia5on is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives at the following rates: Ore processing mill Plant and machinery over the life of the mill over 5 to 10 years The es5mated useful lives, residual value and deprecia5on method are reviewed at the end of each repor5ng period, with the effect of any changes in es5mate accounted for on a prospec5ve basis. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the con5nued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or re5rement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit and loss. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment At each repor5ng date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indica5on that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indica5on exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is es5mated 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 es5mates the recoverable amount of the cash genera5ng unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the es5mated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the 5me value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the es5mates of future cash flows have been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-genera5ng unit) is es5mated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-genera5ng 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-genera5ng unit) is increased to the revised es5mate 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-genera5ng unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. 32 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs comprise direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present loca5on and condi5on. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the es5mated selling price for inventories less all es5mated costs of comple5on and costs to be incurred in marke5ng, selling and distribu5on. Revenue Recogni2on Revenue from the sale of minerals and oil and gas products is recognised when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, indica5ng that there has been a transfer of risks and rewards to the customer, no further work or processing is required by the Group, the quan5ty and quality of the goods has been determined with reasonable accuracy and the goods have been delivered. This is when 5tle is determined to pass. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the considera5on received or receivable. Royalty payments are recognised as a cost of sale when the related produc5on revenue is recognised. Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a 5me basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effec5ve interest rate applicable. Opera2ng Expenses Costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal rights to explore an area together with any costs which cannot be allocated to a specific explora5on project are expensed directly to the income statement and included as opera5ng expenses. Opera5ng expenses in respect of oil and gas ac5vi5es include lease opera5ng expenses, produc5on taxes, general and administra5ve expenses and oil and gas deprecia5on, deple5on and amor5sa5on. Lease opera(cid:27)ng expenses Costs incurred in respect of maintaining and opera5ng property and equipment on a producing oil and gas lease are included as lease opera5ng expenses. Development Expenses Costs incurred in respect of mining ac5vi5es, prior to the commencement of produc5on, are expensed directly to the income statement and included as development expenses. Leasing Rentals payable under opera5ng leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Lease incen5ves received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. Foreign Currencies For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial posi5on are expressed in United States dollar, which is the presenta5on currency for both company and consolidated financial statements. In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transac5ons in currencies other than the func5onal currency of each group company (“foreign currencies”) are translated into the func5onal currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transac5ons. At each repor5ng date, monetary assets and liabili5es that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the func5onal currency at the rates prevailing on the repor5ng date. Non-monetary assets and liabili5es carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated 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. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 33 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Foreign exchange differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for foreign exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign opera5on for which se6lement is neither planned nor likely to occur and which, therefore, form part of the net investment in the foreign opera5on. Foreign exchange differences arising on the transla5on of the Group’s net investment in foreign opera5ons are recognised as a separate component of shareholders’ equity via the statement of other comprehensive income. On disposal of foreign opera5ons and foreign en55es, the cumula5ve transla5on differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal. For the purpose of presen5ng company and consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabili5es of the Company, and the Group’s opera5ons which have a func5onal currency other than United States dollar, are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each repor5ng period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transac5ons are used. Foreign exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity. Equity items are translated at the exchange rates at the date of transac5ons and foreign exchange differences arising, if any, are accumulate directly in equity. On the disposal of a foreign opera5on (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s en5re interest in a foreign opera5on, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign opera5on or loss of joint control over a jointly controlled en5ty that includes a foreign opera5on), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that opera5on a6ributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss. Where there is no change in the propor5onate percentage interest in an en5ty then there has been no disposal or par5al disposal and accumulated exchange differences a6ributable to the Group are not reclassified to profit and loss. Fair value adjustments arising on the acquisi5on of a foreign opera5on are treated as assets and liabili5es of the foreign opera5on and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each repor5ng period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in equity. Re2rement Benefits The Group makes contribu5ons to the personal pension schemes for some of its employees and Directors. Payments to these schemes are charged as an expense in the income statement in respect of pension costs payable in the year. There were no unpaid contribu5ons at the period end. Taxa2on The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deduc5ble in other years and items that are never taxable or deduc5ble. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substan5vely enacted by the repor5ng date. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabili5es in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computa5on of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabili5es are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deduc5ble temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deduc5ble temporary differences can be u5lised. Such deferred tax assets and liabili5es are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the ini5al recogni5on (other than in a business combina5on) of other assets and liabili5es in a transac5on which affects neither the taxable profit nor the accoun5ng profit. 34 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Deferred tax liabili5es are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probably that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deduc5ble temporary differences associated with such investments and interest are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to u5lise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each repor5ng 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 assets to be recovered. Deferred tax liabili5es and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is se6led or the asset realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substan5vely enacted at the repor5ng date. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respec5vely. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the ini5al accoun5ng for a business combina5on, the tax effect is included in the accoun5ng for the business combina5on. Deferred tax assets and liabili5es are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabili5es and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxa5on authority and the Group intends to se6le its current tax assets and liabili5es on a net basis. Financial Instruments Recogni(cid:27)on of financial assets and financial liabili(cid:27)es Financial assets and financial liabili5es are recognised on the Group’s Balance Sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Derecogni(cid:27)on of financial assets and financial liabili(cid:27)es The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substan5ally all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another en5ty. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substan5ally all the risks and rewards of ownership and con5nues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for the amount it may have to pay. If the Group retains substan5ally all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group con5nues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. The Group derecognises financial liabili5es when the Group’s obliga5ons are discharged, cancelled or expired. Financial Assets Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are measured at ini5al recogni5on at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amor5sed cost less any provision for impairment. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash-in-hand and on-demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily conver5ble to a known amount of cash with three months or less remaining to maturity and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 35 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Financial liabili(cid:27)es and equity instruments Financial arrangements entered into. liabili5es and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group a%er deduc5ng all of its liabili5es. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. The costs of an equity transac5on are accounted for as a deduc5on from equity to the extent they are incremental costs directly a6ributable to the equity transac5on that would otherwise have been avoided. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are ini5ally measured at their fair value, and are subsequently measured at amor5sed cost using the effec5ve interest rate method. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or construc5ve obliga5on, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an ou4low of economic resources will result and that ou4low can be reliably measured. The amount recognised as a provision is the best es5mate of the considera5on required to se6le the present obliga5on at the end of the repor5ng period, taking into account the risks and uncertain5es surrounding the obliga5on. When a provision is measured using the cash flow es5mated to se6le the present obliga5on, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to se6le a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receipt can be measured reliably. Decommissioning Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full when the related facili5es are installed. The decommissioning provision is calculated as the net present value of the Group’s share of the expenditure expected to be incurred at the end of the producing life of the facility in the removal and decommissioning of the produc5on, storage and transporta5on facili5es currently in place. The cost of recognising the decommissioning provision is included as part of the cost of the relevant asset and is thus charged to the income statement in accordance with the Group’s policy for deprecia5on of property, plant and equipment. Period charges for changes in the net present value of the decommissioning provision arising from discoun5ng are included in finance costs. Share-Based Payments The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment for all grants of equity instruments. The Group operates an equity-se6led share op5on plan and a share-based compensa5on plan in respect of certain Directors, employees and consultants. The fair value of the service received in exchange for the grant of op5ons and equity is recognised as an expense. Equity-se6led share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect non-market based ves5ng condi5ons) at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of equity-se6led share-based payment is expensed on a straight-line basis over the ves5ng period, based on the Group’s es5mate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market based ves5ng condi5ons. 36 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 3. Significant Accoun2ng Policies con5nued Fair value of op5on grants is measured by use of the Black Scholes model for non-performance based op5ons. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best es5mate, for the effect of non- transferability, exercise restric5ons and behavioural considera5ons. The grant by the Company of op5ons and share-based compensa5on plans over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribu5on. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the ves5ng period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity in the parent en5ty accounts. Segmental Repor2ng Opera5ng segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal repor5ng provided to the chief opera5ng decision maker. The chief opera5ng decision maker, who is responsible for alloca5ng resources and assessing performance of the opera5ng segments and making strategic decisions, has been iden5fied as the Board of Directors. 4. Cri2cal Accoun2ng Judgements and Key Sources of Es2ma2on Uncertainty In the applica5on of the Group’s accoun5ng policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, es5mates and assump5ons about the carrying amounts of the assets and liabili5es that are not readily apparent from other sources. The es5mates and associated assump5ons are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these es5mates. The es5mates and underlying assump5ons are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accoun5ng es5mates are recognised in the period in which the es5mate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current and future periods. The following are the cri5cal judgements and es5ma5ons that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accoun5ng policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Recoverability of Intangible Explora2on and Evalua2on Assets Determining whether an explora5on and evalua5on asset is impaired requires an assessment of whether there are any indicators of impairment, including by reference to specific impairment indicators prescribed in IFRS 6 Explora&on for and Evalua&on of Mineral Resources. If there is any indica5on of poten5al impairment, an impairment test is required based on the recoverable amount of the asset. The value in use calcula5on requires the en5ty to es5mate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-genera5ng unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. At 31 December 2015, the Directors determined that there were indicators of impairment in respect of the Group’s intangible O&G explora5on and evalua5on assets held in Germany and of the Group’s uranium and copper explora5on and evalua5on assets held in U.S.A, on the basis that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recovered in full. The Directors therefore considered that it was appropriate to make a provision for impairment in respect of these assets at the year end. The carrying amount of intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets at the balance sheet date was US$10.2 million (2014: US$9.9 million) and an impairment of US$3.7 million (2014: US$1.0 million) was iden5fied and recognised in the year to 31 December 2015. Recoverability of Loans to Subsidiary Undertakings The Company has outstanding loans from its directly held subsidiaries which have then made a number of loans to their own subsidiaries as the primary method of financing the ac5vity of those subsidiaries. The principal loans are shown in the Company balance sheet on the basis that the loans incur interest at a commercial rate according to the Group’s inter-company loan policy, which is being rolled up un5l such 5me as the subsidiaries are in a Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 37 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 4. Cri2cal Accoun2ng Judgements and Key Sources of Es2ma2on Uncertainty con5nued posi5on to se6le. However, there is a risk that the indirectly held subsidiaries will not commence revenue- genera5ng ac5vi5es and that the carrying amount of the Company’s investment will, therefore, exceed the recoverable amount. The Board have assessed the recoverability of its loans based on this risk and the Directors consider that, in considera5on of the losses currently being generated and the impairment of the Group’s intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets which was recognised at 31 December 2015, a provision of US$8.2 million (2014: US$0.7 million) should be recognised by the Company in the year to 31 December 2015. Provision for Decommissioning As a result of explora5on ac5vi5es, the Group is required to make a provision for decommissioning. Significant uncertainty exists as to the amount of decommissioning obliga5ons which may be incurred due to the impact of possible changes in environmental legisla5on. The Board assessed the likely obliga5on for decommissioning in respect of the Mill and its O&G assets in U.S.A. Accordingly, a provision of US$0.1 million has been made in respect of the Mill, and an obliga5on of US$0.1 million, calculated using an es5mated discount rate of 4.5 per cent, has been made in respect of O&G assets at 31 December 2015. 5. Revenue The external revenue of the Group arises from the sale of precious minerals arising from ac5vi5es in Mexico and sales of oil and gas from its ac5vi5es in U.S.A. 6. Segmental Informa2on For management purposes, the Group is organised into three opera5ng divisions based on its principal ac5vi5es of gold and silver mining, research and evalua5on of poten5al uranium and copper proper5es and the explora5on and development of O&G resources. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its segment informa5on. Segment informa5on about these divisions is presented below.

Profit Share Payments Met-Sin 2015 US$’000 – – 2014 Restated US$’000 490 490 The Group enters into profit sharing arrangements whereby it undertakes mining ac5vi5es on behalf of a third party licence holder. The Group recognises in full, all mining costs and associated revenues along with the agreed profit share payment to the third party as determined under the agreement. Profit share agreements are not deemed joint arrangements under IFRS 11. Met-Sin The Group is party to a profit share agreement, through its wholly owned subsidiary Minerales Vane S.A. de C.A. (“MV”), in respect of gold and silver mining ac5vi5es in Mexico. The original agreement commenced in 2010 and under the terms of the agreement MV have the right to operate mining ac5vi5es at concessions owned by their partners, Met-Sin. MV provides the capital necessary to explore and develop the mining projects and, once a property becomes opera5onal the gross margin earned is allocated in accordance with the agreement. The profit share alloca5on was on an equal basis un5l February 2014, when it was amended to be 65 per cent to MV and 35 per cent to Met-Sin. Mining ac5vi5es under the the Met-Sin agreement ceased during the year and no liability for profit share payments has been reported for the current year. Minera Pafex On 29 August 2014, MV entered into a profit share agreement with Minera Pafex S.A. de C.V. (“Pafex”) in respect of gold and silver mining ac5vi5es in Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement MV have the right to operate mining ac5vi5es at the Charay and San Luis concessions owned by Pafex. MV provided the capital necessary to explore and develop the projects and, once a property becomes opera5onal the gross margin earned is allocated on the basis of 60 per cent to MV and 40 per cent to Pafex. As a result of the development costs incurred by the Group there have been no profit share payments in respect of the Minera Pafex agreement in either of the years reported. Tango Project On 25 August 2014, MV entered into a profit share and op5on agreement with Minera Camargo S.A de C.V. (“Camargo”), in respect of both gold and silver, and base metal explora5on. Under the terms of the profit share agreement MV has the right to operate gold and silver mining ac5vi5es at concessions owned by Camargo with gross margin earned to be allocated on the basis of 50 per cent to MV and 50 per cent to Camargo. In addi5on, MV holds an op5on to earn a 75 per cent ownership of the base metals (porphyries) by inves5ng US$5 million in work expenditures over a period of 5 years. There have been no profit share payments in respect of the Tango agreement in either of the years reported. During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Group has capitalised the sum of US$0.1 million (2014: US$0.2 million) as intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets in respect of the Tango project, op5on earn-in agreement. The total amount capitalised at 31 December 2015 is US$0.3 million (2014: US$0.2 million) and of this amount US$0.1 million is recoverable against future revenues prior to any profit share payments being made to Camargo.

Impairment of Intangible Expora2on and Evalua2on Assets Uranium and copper assets O&G assets 2015 US$’000 3,141 553 3,694 2014 Restated US$’000 – 969 969 During 2014, the poli5cal situa5on for exploring unconven5onal hydrocarbons in Germany became increasingly unclear and it was considered that with only 15 months remaining on the Group’s licences in south-western Germany, acquired on the acquisi5on of Parkyn Energy Holdings plc, there would be insufficient 5me to complete the required work programme. The Directors therefore considered it was appropriate to make a provision for impairment in respect of these assets at 31 December 2014. During 2015, the situa5on has remained unchanged and the Directors consider that this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors now consider it appropriate to make a further provision for impairment in respect of its concession in the Weiden Basin, located in the State of Bavaria, south-eastern Germany. Accordingly, a further provision of US$0.1 million has been made in respect of these licences at 31 December 2015. At 31 December 2015, there were indicators of impairment of the Group’s intangible uranium and copper assets and the Directors consider that there is reasonable uncertainty that the Group will recover the carrying value of these assets. As a result, a provision of US$3.2 million has been made in respect of these assets at 31 December 2015. In April 2016, the Board announced that it had entered into an agreement with Rockies Standard to terminate its earn-in rights to the Mancos acreage and dispose of the Cisco Dome field and related assets. The Group has a number of operator bonds in place with the State of Utah and Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), and under the terms of this agreement the Group agreed to leave these bonds in place for the benefit of Rockies Standard. As a result, the Board determined that it was appropriate to make a provision for impairment In respect of these bonds for the sum of US$0.4 million, at 31 December 2015. The remaining intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. These assets are not amor5sed un5l technical feasibility and commercial viability is established. 42 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 10.

Taxa2on con5nued Unrelieved tax losses carried forward, as detailed in note 28, have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset, as there is currently insufficient evidence that the asset will be recoverable in the foreseeable future. The losses must be u5lised in rela5on to the same opera5ons. Tax for other jurisdic5ons is provided at rates prevailing in those countries. Income tax charge/(credit) included in other comprehensive income during the year is: Foreign tax on hedge of net investment in foreign opera5ons 16. Loss Per Ordinary Share 2015 US$’000 1,212 2014 Restated US$’000 (405) Basic loss per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year a6ributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year. The calcula5on of the basic and diluted loss per Ordinary Share is based on the following data: Losses Losses for the purpose of basic loss per Ordinary Share being net loss a6ributable to owners of the parent company Number of shares Weighted average number of shares for the purpose of basic loss per Ordinary Share Loss per Ordinary Share Basic and diluted, cents per share 2015 US$’000 2014 Restated US$’000 (9,067) (5,878) Number ’000 Number ’000 2,037,308 1,074,448 (0.45c) Restated (0.55c) Due to the losses incurred in the years reported, there is no dilu5ve effect from the exis5ng share op5ons, share based compensa5on plan or conver5ble loan notes.

Rose Utah is the designated operator and will account for its share of the assets, liabili5es and income and expenditure as required by relevant accoun5ng standards. On 3 September 2014, a further agreement was signed which gave RSOC the right to request se6lement of each of the outstanding periodic payments at that date, to be sa5sfied in part, by the issue of a variable number of Ordinary Shares in the Company, to a maximum of US$0.7 million. In respect of the periodic payment due on 16 September 2014, 4,178,152 Ordinary Shares were issued in se6lement of US$0.2 million, the remainder having been se6led in cash. At 31 December 2014 there was an outstanding liability of US$1.0 million and any further issues of Ordinary Shares were to be at an agreed price of 3.175p per Ordinary Share. See notes 26 and 30. During the year ended 31 December 2015 the outstanding liability of US$1 million was se6led in cash on the agreed dates and no further issues of Ordinary Shares was made in respect of the agreement. 46 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 17. Intangible Assets con5nued In April 2016, the Group entered into a revised agreement with RSOC. See note 36 The Group’s total expenditure in respect of its U.S.A. O&G assets, included within intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets, as at 31 December 2015 is US$9.9 million (2014: US$6.5 million). German Licences On 20 January 2014, the Group completed the acquisi5on of Parkyn Energy Holdings plc and its subsidiary Parkyn Energy (Germany) Limited, the sole owner of two hydrocarbon licenses in south-western Germany, covering approximately 635,000 acres. During 2014, the poli5cal situa5on for exploring unconven5onal hydrocarbons in Germany became increasingly unclear and the Directors considered that this was likely remain the case for the foreseeable future. The Directors therefore considered it was appropriate to make a provision for impairment in respect of these assets at 31 December 2014. The Group has now fully relinquished its interest in these licences and ceased to recognise them at 31 December 2015. 18.

However, there is a risk that the subsidiaries will not commence revenue-genera5ng ac5vi5es and that the carrying amount of the investments exceed the recoverable amount. The Board have assessed the recoverability of these loans and consider that a provision of US$8.2 million (2014: US$0.7 million) should be recognised in the period. 48 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 19. Investments con5nued The Company had investments in the following subsidiary undertakings as at 31 December 2015 which principally affected the losses and net assets of the Group: Place of incorpora2on (or registra2on) and opera2on Propor2on of ownership interest Propor2on of vo2ng power held Principal ac2vity Directly owned: VANE Minerals (UK) Limited Rose Petroleum (UK) Limited UK UK Indirectly owned: AVEN Associates LLC VANE Minerals (US) LLC Minerales VANE S.A. de C.V.

This period of liquida5on will be completed on 31 December 2016. 20. Joint Opera2ons Arizona Project On 1 September 2008, the Group entered into a Mining Venture Agreement with Uranium One Americas Inc. (“U1”). The terms of this agreement created a Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) between VANE Minerals (US) LLC (“VANE”) and U1, with each partner holding a 50 per cent interest. The Mining Venture Agreement was amended on 15 July 2013 to extend the terms of the agreement to 31 December 2017. During the year ended 31 December 2015, U1 sold its 50 per cent interest to Anfield Resources Inc. (“Anfield”). The JVA established an agreed sharing of control with decisions about the relevant ac5vi5es requiring the unanimous consent of VANE and Anfield. The par5es have rights to the assets and obliga5ons for liabili5es rela5ng to the arrangement and the JVA has, therefore, been accounted for as a joint opera5on recognising the Group’s relevant share of assets, liabili5es, revenues and expenses as appropriate. The JVA combined interests in over 60 breccia pipe targets, including 10 known mineralised pipes, in northern Arizona and also secured access to U1’s Ticaboo Mill in Utah for ore developed on JV proper5es. The aggregate amounts related to the joint opera5on included within the consolidated accounts are: Non-current assets Current assets Expenses 2015 US$’000 – 53 (3) 2014 Restated US$’000 1,865 57 (3) Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 49 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 21. Acquisi2on of Subsidiary On 20 January 2014, the Group acquired 100 per cent of the issued share capital of Parkyn Energy (Holdings) plc, obtaining control of Parkyn Energy (Holdings) plc and its 100 per cent owned subsidiary Parkyn Energy (Germany) Limited. Parkyn Energy (Germany) Limited is an explora5on company which was acquired because it was the sole owner of two hydrocarbon licences in south-western Germany, covering over 635,000 acres. The amounts recognised in respect of the iden5fiable assets acquired and liabili5es assumed are as set out in the table below. Intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets Financial liabili5es Total iden5fiable assets and considera5on Sa5sfied by: Cash Restated US$’000 542 (13) 529 529 Of the total considera5on, US$0.4 million was paid during the year ended 31 December 2013 and the remainder was paid in January 2014. 22.

The average credit period for trade receivables is 23 days (2014: 15 days). No interest is charged on trade receivables. Other receivables include the sum of US$0.05 million in respect of the disposal of assets held for sale. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value. 50 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 24. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015 were US$2.4 million and US$1.6 million respec5vely (2014: US$8.4 million, US$6.2 million). The Directors consider that the carrying amount of these assets approximate to their fair value. Included in cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2014 was the sum of US$1.0 million which was held in a money market account in a subsidiary en5ty. This was deposited against a line of credit for an equivalent value. The line of credit could be reduced by the Group at any 5me without an undue period of no5ce and there was no risk of change in value. The Board, therefore, believed that it was appropriate to include the sum in cash and cash equivalents. There are no such deposits at 31 December 2015. 25. Assets Held For Sale At 31 December 2014, the Board had resolved to dispose of the Group’s interest in Wate Mining Company LLC and these opera5ons were classified as non-current assets held for sale and presented separately in the balance sheet. The major classes of assets and liabili5es comprising the opera5ons classified as held for sale were as follows: Intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets 2015 US$’000 – 2014 Restated US$’000 785 On 17 February 2015 (the “closing”), the Company completed the sale of its 50 per cent interest in Wate Mining Company LLC (“Wate”) to EFR Arizona Strip LLC (“EFR”). As considera5on for the 50 per cent interest EFR agreed to pay a total of US$1.75 million, consis5ng of an immediate cash payment of US$0.25 million, a US$0.5 million non-interest bearing promissory note, payable in two equal instalments of US$0.25 million on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing, a further US$0.5 million condi5onal cash, and 2 per cent produc5on royalty on EFR’s stake in the project. The royalty can be purchased by EFR upon payment to the Company of an addi5onal sum of US$0.75 million, less any royal5es previously paid. The Company received the immediate cash payment of US$0.25 million on closing, however, prior to payment of the first instalment of the non-interest bearing promissory note due, an addendum to the terms of the original agreement was agreed with EFR. Under the terms of this addendum it was agreed that EFR would make a payment of US$0.05 million in respect of the US$0.25 million due on 17 February 2016 and defer the remainder of all payments due under the non-interest bearing promissory note un5l the commencement of commercial produc5on. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the commencement of commercial produc5on and receipt of further funds the Company has only recognised those funds of which there was certainty, when calcula5ng the loss on disposal of Wate. The net assets of Wate at the date of disposal were: Intangible explora5on and evalua5on assets Loss on disposal Proceeds on disposal 17 February 2015 US$’000 785 (485) 300 Wate Mining Company LLC did not contribute to the Group’s net opera5ng cash flows during the year ended 31 December 2015.

The average credit period taken for trade purchases is 30 days (2014: 37 days). The Group has financial risk management policies to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit 5me frame. At 31 December 2014, other payables included the sum of US$1.0 million in respect of outstanding periodic payments due under the O&G farm-in agreement. This sum was se6led in cash on the agreed dates. See note 17. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other payables approximates to their fair value. No interest is generally charged on balances outstanding. 27. Conver2ble Loan Notes The Company had in issue, conver5ble loan notes totalling US$1.0 million which were conver5ble into Ordinary Shares of the Company at any 5me up to the maturity date of 31 May 2017. The exercise price was 1.25p per share and the holders of the loan notes were en5tled to convert the notes at any 5me up to the 31 May 2017. In addi5on, if at any 5me prior to the redemp5on date the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares on AIM (“VWAP”) (for any consecu5ve period of 15 business days a%er 31 May 2012) exceeds twice the conversion price; or (b) at any 5me a%er 31 May 2015, but prior to the redemp5on date, the VWAP exceeds the conversion price, then the Company can serve an Early Redemp5on No5ce. The Company shall pay to the note holder the sum which is equal to the par value of the notes being redeemed divided by the conversion price and mul5plied by the VWAP set out in the Early Redemp5on No5ce, together with any interest accrued. In June 2014, the holders of the conver5ble loan notes gave no5ce of their inten5on to convert the outstanding loan notes, and on 14 June 2014, the Company issued 80 million Ordinary Shares of 0.1p each at a price of 1.25p. The amount previously recognised in equity has been transferred directly between reserves. See note 31.

Accordingly, a provision is required to cover the decommissioning costs for the ore processing mill and opera5ng mines and the Groups O&G assets. Restora5on of the opera5ng mines was completed at 31 December 2014 and the Directors’ assump5ons are that restora5on of the Mill will not take place for at least a further twelve months. Restora5on in respect of the O&G assets has been calculated on the basis that this will not take place un5l 2034, using a risk free rate of 4 per cent. 30.

Share-Based Payments Equity Se3led Share Op2on Plan The Company had a Share Op5on Plan under which op5ons to subscribe for the Company’s shares had been granted to certain Directors and to selected employees and consultants. The Rose Petroleum plc Share Op5on Plan was originally adopted by the Company on 25 May 2004. On 28 September 2011, the Share Op5on Plan was amended by a resolu5on of the Remunera5on Commi6ee by which the exis5ng op5ons (“old op5ons”) were cancelled and replaced with new op5ons (“replacement op5ons”). These op5ons were granted with a new exercise price based on the market value of each Ordinary Share in the Company and were deemed to vest immediately. On 30 September 2011, the Company issued a further 11.6 million share op5ons: • • 2.1 million share op5ons which vested on 1 September 2012; and 9.5 million share op5ons of which 3.2 million vested on 1 September 2012 and the remainder vest in two equal tranches on 1 September 2013 and 2014. In August 2013, the 2004 Share Op5on Plan was replaced by the adop5on of the 2013 Share Op5on Plan Part A (employees) and 2013 Share Op5on Plan Part B (non-employees).

Share-Based Payments con5nued Details of the share op5ons outstanding at the end of the year were as follow: Outstanding at 1 January Granted Forfeited/cancelled Outstanding at 31 December Exercisable at 31 December Number of op2ons ‘000 183,200 20,000 (47,667) 155,533 71,967 2015 Weighted average exercise price 1.725p 1.800p 1.062p 1.938p 1.596p Number of op2ons ‘000 89,600 94,200 (600) 183,200 42,067 2014 Weighted average exercise price 0.783p 2.617p 1.125p 1.725p 0.882p The op5ons outstanding at 31 December 2015 had an es5mated weighted average remaining contractual life of 1 year (2014: 1.4 years), with an exercise price ranging between 0.4p and 3.425p. The fair value of the op5ons issued during the year has been calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The significant inputs into the model for the IFRS 2 valua5on were as follows: Exercise price (pence) Expected vola5lity (%) Expected life (years) Risk free rates (%) Expected dividends Performance condi5on Weighted average share price (pence) Grants in year 20 million share op2ons 1.625-1.925 92-94 5.5-6.5 1.15-1.4 – None 1.8 Expected vola5lity was calculated considering Rose Petroleum plc share price movements over a period commensurate with the expected term immediately prior to grant date. The fair value of the op5ons granted during the year was US$0.3 million (2014: US$1.9 million). Share- Based Compensa2on Under the terms of a contract of employment the Company agreed to issue Ordinary Shares in the Company to a Director in return for services provided. The fair value of the services provided can be measured directly, and accordingly, an expense of US$0.05 million (2014: US$0.05 million) has been recognised in the year ended 31 December 2015. In the year ended 31 December 2015 the Company recognised a total expense of US$1.5 million (2014: US$0.8 million) related to equity-se6led share-based payment transac5ons, US$1.45 million (2014: US$0.75 million) in respect of the Share Op5on Plan and US$0.05 million (2014: US$0.05 million) in respect of share-based compensa5on.

Financial Instruments Capital Risk Management The Group manages its capital to ensure that en55es in the Group will be able to con5nue as going concerns, while maximising the return to shareholders through the op5misa5on of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2014. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity a6ributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Group plans its capital requirements on a regular basis and as part of this review the Directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

Financial Risk Management Objec2ves Management provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domes5c and interna5onal financial markets and monitors and manages the financial risks rela5ng to the opera5ons of the Group. These risks include foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The policies for managing these risks are regularly reviewed and agreed by the Board. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including deriva5ve financial instruments, for specula5ve purposes. Foreign Exchange Risk and Foreign Currency Risk Management The Group undertakes certain transac5ons denominated in foreign currencies, with the result that exposure to exchange rate fluctua5ons arise. The Group does not normally hedge against the effects of movements in exchange rates. The Group policy is not to repatriate any currency where there is the requirement or obliga5on to spend in the same denomina5on. When foreign exchange is required the Company purchases using the best spot rate available. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabili5es at the repor5ng date are as follows: US dollars Euro Liabili2es Assets 2015 US$’000 – 7 2014 Restated US$’000 27 – 2015 US$’000 1,231 – 2014 Restated US$’000 3,732 6 Foreign currency sensi2vity analysis The func5onal currencies of the Group companies are Pound Sterling (GBP), US dollars (USD), Euro (EUR) and Mexican Pesos (MXN). The financial statements of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries are denominated in foreign currencies. The Group is exposed primarily to movements in USD, the currency in which the Group receives its revenue, against other currencies, in which the Group incurs liabili5es and expenditure. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from recognised assets and liabili5es as well as commitments arising from future trading transac5ons. Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 59 Rose Petroleum plc Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 34. Financial Instruments con5nued Sensi5vity analyses have been performed to indicate how the profit or loss would have been affected by changes in the exchange rate between GBP, MXN, EUR and USD. The analysis is based on a weakening and strengthening of USD, in which the Group has significant assets and liabili5es at the end of each respec5ve period, by ten per cent against GBP and MXN. A movement of ten per cent reflects a reasonably posi5ve sensi5vity when compared to historical movements over a three to five year 5meframe. The sensi5vity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their transla5on at the period end for a ten per cent change in foreign currency rates. The table below details the Group’s sensi5vity to a ten per cent decrease in USD against GBP and MXN. A posi5ve number below indicates an increase in profit where USD weakens ten per cent against GBP and USD. For a ten per cent strengthening of USD there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit, and the balance below would be nega5ve. Income statement 2015 US$’000 129 2014 Restated US$’000 418 The Group’s sensi5vity to movements in exchange rates has decreased at 31 December 2015 because the Group is holding less of its cash and cash equivalents in USD. Interest Rate Risk Management The Group’s policy on interest rate management is agreed at Board level and is reviewed on an on-going basis. The Group has no substan5al exposure to fluctua5ng interest rates on its liabili5es. At 31 December 2015 the Group has no liabili5es which a6ract interest charges. Liquidity Risk Management Ul5mate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long- term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and by con5nuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flow. Credit Risk Management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obliga5ons resul5ng in financial loss to the Group. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure on trade receivables. The Group makes allowances for impairment of receivables where there is an iden5fied event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduc5on in the recoverability of cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds (cash) is considered to be limited because the counterpar5es are financial ins5tu5ons with high and good credit ra5ngs assigned by interna5onal credit-ra5ng agencies. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. 60 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 Notes to the Financial Statements con5nued 35.
