Subsequent to the year end the Company has recovered the entire balance outstanding with EGPC at 31 December

2014 of USD 66,249 thousand. Between January and April 2015 USD 27,750 thousand was received directly from

EGPC and a further USD 50,513 thousand was recovered through the cargo sale mechanism.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the

trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. Management believes that there is

no credit provision required as all the trade receivables are fully collectible.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of each class of receivable

mentioned above. The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables is approximately

equal to their fair value.
