December 31, 2013

Limitations:

Our procedures did not constitute an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on the financial statements or specified elements, accounts or items thereof. Accordingly, we are unable to express such an opinion on the financial statements at the conclusion of our work. In submitting our report to you, we wish to emphasize that internal control is a process, effected by the Board of the Operator/Company, Senior Management and other employees, designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that risks, including fraud risks, are properly managed to ensure the achievement of the organization’s financial, operational and regulatory compliance objectives.

It is important to recognize that there are inherent limitations in the audit process. For example, our procedures are generally based on the concept of selective testing of the data being examined and are, therefore, subject to the limitation that material errors, fraud and other illegal acts having a direct and material financial impact, if they exist, may not be detected. Also, because of the characteristics of fraud, particularly those involving concealment through collusion and falsified documentation (including forgery), an Audit may not detect a material fraud. We will however, communicate to you as appropriate, any illegal act, material errors or evidence that fraud may exist, identified during the course of our work.

Our deliverables are intended solely for the use of the recipients as mentioned in our Letter of Engagement.

3 Advance payment of USD 6 Mn made to Dolphin drilling

outstanding for over 2 years

The operator had given an advance of USD 6Mn to Dolphin Drilling in

2011 to compensate for time value of money over their tax obligations

in Mozambique however:

• The terms and conditions (agreement) of advance paid were not

provided for our review

• Per our review of expense ledger (JADE) and discussion with

operator, it was not an interest bearing advance

• Advance has not been received back from Dolphin Drilling up to

Dec’2013

• Operator needs to

define a policy for

advance payments

clearly highlighting

the scenarios

wherein advance

payments can be

made

• Ensure timely

recovery or

adjustment of

advances paid to

vendors

At the time this transaction was entered into, there was

an expectation of the partnership receiving a refund of

the $6 million advance and we continue to believe that

Dolphin Drilling has a right to receive a refund from the

Government of Mozambique.

We will request that our internal auditors conduct a

review of the Dolphin Drilling records on this matter

during the next round of vendor audits in Mozambique.

Implementation Timeline : Operator is monitoring

the receipt of the refund with E&Y Maputo who

represents Dolphin Drilling with the Tax Authorities.

4 Aviation expenditure charged wholly to offshore block

Total spend on aviation expenditure (charter hire and fuel costs) for

the year 2012 and 2013 was USD36 million (USD 8.4 mm directly

charged to offshore block in 2012 and USD 27 mm charged through

camp cost allocations in 2012-2013). Annexure 5

It was noted that the whole amount of aviation expenditure was

charged to offshore block. Flight manifests are not obtained from

vendors (actual flying hours with requisite information such as

name / ID of personnel with block details). As a result, amount

allocable to onshore block cannot be ascertained.

It is to be noted that allocation principles followed by operator

during previous years (Nov 2009 and prior: 50% onshore and 50%

offshore, Dec 2009: 25% onshore and 75%offshore, Jan 2010

• Flight manifests should be

obtained from vendors and

allocation of aviation

spending should be done

basis actual flying hours for

respective blocks

Flights manifests are being maintained by the

Operator. The manifest may not display the all the

information in the manner suggested by the

Auditors. The Onshore Block had no activity

during 2013, which is the reason that very few

aviation related charges were allocated to the

Onshore Block. In addition to Flights manifests,

there is also a travel request form whereby the

relevant cost object is specified by the Requestor.

This data is used to segregate travelers costs by

project.

onwards: 100%offshore). As informed, there was a reasonable

activity in onshore block during 2012 and 2013

PwC Comments

The operator should obtain flight manifest with

the requisite details from the vendor (along with

the invoice). Allocation of aviation spending

should be done basis actual flying hours for

respective blocks.

Alternatively, the allocations may be based on

information captured through travel request form

whereby the relevant cost object is specified by

the Requestor.

Agreement (JOA), the expenditures used to calculate the

monthly indirect charge shall not include expenditures in

the nature of third party claim settlement however it was

6 Intercompany charges settled through bank

account grossed up (for withholding tax) resulting

in possibility of over-charge to joint account: As per

JOA if Operator or affiliate is subject to WHT as a result of

services performed at cost, its charges for services may be

grossed up by the amount of taxes. Per our discussion with

operator, PCO & other intercompany charges (I/C) were

settled through bank account in Mauritius (country with a

double taxation treaty with Mozambique) after grossing up.

Details are as follows

• I/C charges up to Nov’12 have been settled after grossing

up by 10% WHT (Total gross up of USD3.84 mm charged

to joint account in 2014 for the period Jan’12 to Nov’12)

• No settlement done for I/C charges booked post Dec’12.

Estimated total gross up for the period Dec’12 to Nov’13

is USD 6.5 MM. Annexure 7 & 8

• Operator should not

deduct WHT on

transactions covered by

double taxation treaty,

which result in

additional charges to

joint account

• In case of any risk

highlighted by tax

auditors, Operator

should communicate the

same to JV partners and

additionally seek

opinion from

independent third-party

consultant over the

matter.

This matter has been tabled at the Accounting Sub-committee and

• Further, KPMG certified rates were based on 1784 working

assumptions (category,

hours etc.)

Annual worked hours in excess of the average 1,784 per year

occurs when the employee records time related to prior year

in the current period and when the employee does not take

leave during the period. Both instances do not represent over

recovery of costs, but a timing difference. The time writing

system does not allow the employee to record more than 9

hours per day, hence overtime is therefore not booked.

The unaudited rates are related to time writing for employees

charged from Anadarko’s UK affiliate. The number of

employees and the insignificance of the charges did not

justify obtaining a separate KPMG certification on these

rates. Upon request, the rates are available for auditor’s

review.

(iv) Before major contracts are awarded, INP shall be advised of

The procedures alluded to in the finding have been modified by a different practice

between the Operator and INP that have never been formalized. Through the

correspondence exchanged and the several clarifications on the requests submitted,

can be derived the procedures that are currently being followed. For example, in the

referred correspondence INP does not request bidders list when there is a request for

sole source approval. On the other hand, upon submission of bidder list INP derives its

comfort with regards that the Operator is tendering for its goods and services.

for 2012 and 2013. As per the operator, an exercise to reconcile all ITD figures for cost

recovery and how it compares to the JIB is in progress. However these reconciliations

are still being finalized.

• Operator should

reconcile cost recovery

statements and JIB

Operator has implemented the

reconciliation between the JIB and

the cost recovery since Q1 2014.

18 Cash call forecasting process requires improvement: Noted significant

variations in forecast vs. actual expenditure (ranging from -84% to 50%) leading to

possible excess balance. On reconciling the available cash balance & cash calls received

with cash expenditure for the period Feb’12 to Oct’13, we noted an unexplained variance

of USD 159 mm. Annexure 28 & 29

• Forecast process should

be made more robust

• Intercompany balance

should form part of the

cash call statement

• Variance s need to be

explained by the operator

Cash expenditure were in excess by

USD 155 mm to the cash call, due to

Affiliated charges not being included

in the cash call as they were not

being paid from Nov’12 to Dec’13.
