13 Bomono Monetising the asset is dependent of finalising the agreement with VOG Victoria Oil & Gas plc ( VOG ) represent an ideal partner to develop Bomono Farm-out transaction for 80 % stake signed with VOG in March 2017 subject to conditions precedent VOG, with our agreement, have rolled the long-stop date for the contract to 31 December 2017 Should the farm-out arrangement not complete, we will not be in a position to generate an alternative development plan before the existing exploration authorisation terminates in December 2018 We consider a likely risk that the Government will not approve a further extension to the exploration authorisation without attaching additional exploration work commitments Given the ongoing discussion and fundamental uncertainty, the carrying value of the Bomono intangible asset has been fully impaired, with a charge of $46 million being made in the year Private & Confidential 13
