This follows a challenging and difficult year for your company. The price of crude oil languished in 2014 to 2017 with a decrease in drilling activity and the operator of our Kiliwani North gas project in Tanzania has so far failed to collect overdue payments for gas sold by Bounty to the Tanzania power authority under contract. Gas production from the Kiliwani North gas well declined sharply in late 2017 and the reservoir was compartmentalised, meaning the initial gas reserves likely cannot be recovered without additional drilling. Bounty doubts that further investment in the Field is justified. The well was shut-in to allow pressure build up for most of the last half-year. These factors resulted in a reduction in income from petroleum production to AU$1.57 million for the year and a non-cash impairment of Bounty’s interest in the Tanzania joint venture of $1.27 million. However, on a much brighter note, the Naccowlah Block in SW Queensland, has had four successful oil wells, Irtalie 6, Watkins 2, Watkins 3 and Jarrar 4 cased and suspended during and since year end. The Watkins wells intersected an extensive oil pool in the Birkhead/Hutton zones and are excellent producers of light sweet crude. The Tapis crude oil price has risen sharply in the last few months to peak at AU$126 per barrel. The production from these wells exceeded delivery capacity, and additional pipeline capacity has been installed which will lift production in coming periods. Jarrar 4 has recently been cased and suspended pending production. This will have a very significant positive effect on your company's income for the current year. Progress with preparation of the Alton Oilfield and Downland Gas Field in the southern Surat Basin of Eastern Queensland to recommence production has been slow due to operational and environmental permitting. However, the permitting process is nearing completion, and Alton and Downlands are expected to come back on line in 2019, adding significantly to the company's petroleum income. There has been some interest in a farm-in to the AC/P 32 permit on the NW Shelf of Western Australia, with two companies reviewing the data, while the operators of PEP 11 have completed a 2D seismic survey on the Baleen play, and we await further activity. With increased crude oil prices, excellent production from Naccowlah Block, and additional production from Surat Basin, the company is looking forward to a much improved result for 2019. I wish to thank shareholders for their patience during this hard year. I would also like to thank my fellow Board members for their support, and Bounty’s employees for their continued good work and dedication during this year. Graham Reveleigh Chairman 29 October 2018 2 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 CEO’S REVIEW Introduction Subsequent to year end in July 2018 Bounty participated in two exceptional oil appraisal wells at the Watkins Field in the Naccowlah Block and it has participated in a further success with Jarrar 4. With significant sales increases since the end of the period and dramatically improved oil prices peaking at A$126 per barrel Bounty will participate in 6 - 8 additional appraisal and NFE oil wells in Naccowlah Block. Bounty is actively working to recommence oil production at PL 2 Alton and gas production at PL 441 Downlands after finally obtaining Native Title clearance by dismissal of the long-standing Mandandanji claim at Surat, Queensland. Bounty has other Surat Basin gas exploration opportunities to contribute to future revenue growth in the reconstituted ATP 2028P (formerly ATP 754P). Bounty also holds 15% of PEP 11 Offshore Sydney Basin in what will have the potential to lead up to a new exploration drill of a major gas exploration project near Newcastle, NSW. Offshore operations are not affected by the various onshore gas exploration road blocks. At Rough Range, Western Australia Bounty now has 100% ownership of the Rough Range Oilfield and tangibles. Bounty has faced frustrating technical and commercial dealings with the Tanzania gas project due to shut-in of the Kiliwani North well; TPDC defaulting on gas payments and sovereign risk. Bounty anticipates revenue growth to $2.6 million in 2019 and beyond. More details on current projects are set out in the Project and Operations Review below. Highlights for the Year: • • • • • Cash and current assets at 30 June 2018 were $2.48 million (2017: $2.39 million) with nil debt. As oil prices strengthen Bounty is planning to increase oil production and revenue in 2019 to $2.6 million from its Cooper Basin and Surat Basin, Queensland assets. Bounty achieved lower petroleum revenue down 41% to $1.57 million (2017:$2.68 million) with significantly less contribution from Tanzanian gas sales. Operating loss of $0.27 million (2017: operating profit $0.89 million) before non-cash expenses including impairment and amortisation of oil & gas assets of $1.8 million. Net loss of $2.08 million (2017: $0.38 million loss). Summary See the Directors Report for further 2018 production and revenue details. Bounty’s petroleum revenue is expected to increase to around $2.6 million in 2019 by material contributions from the recent Birkhead zone discoveries at Watkins Field, Naccowlah Block. The joint venture is planning 6 – 8 appraisal wells in Naccowlah Block and a project to increase pipeline capacity at Watkins Field has been completed. In addition Bounty will move to produce its 100% Surat Basin oil and gas development properties. Oil has entered a recovery phase and the energy sector remains the world’s most important business exposed to global growth. As Australia confronts the challenge of finding more domestic oil Bounty is increasing its acreage and oil reserves and is well placed for growth. It will wherever possible focus on Bounty operated projects. SW Queensland – Cooper Basin Oil production increased to 13,162 bbls (2017: 11,058 bbls) and with steadily rising oil prices, revenues jumped 89% to $1.22 million. 3 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 On the production front the Santos Limited operated ATP 1189 Naccowlah Block has continued to provide oil revenue. Revenue was impacted by lower rates due to the impact of lower oil prices in 2017 and deferral of development drilling. In July 2017 Bounty had success with the Irtalie East 6 appraisal well discovering good up dip oil in the Basal Birkhead Formation. Three additional appraisal locations Watkins 2 and 3 at Watkins Field and Jarrar 4 at Jarrar Field were drilled after the period. SE Queensland – Surat Basin Petroleum Lease 2 Alton (PL2) – see Map in Project and Operations Review below. Bounty is now operator of Petroleum Lease 2 and holds: 100% of the Alton Oilfield and Alton Block. • • Alton is 440 km west of Brisbane and Alton oil will be transported and sold into the Brisbane Refinery. • Development reserves: 167,000 bbls of recoverable oil in the early Triassic age Basal Evergreen sand reservoir included with a potential 1.136 million bbls of 2P reserves located in the three sands of the Boxvale/Evergreen Formations. Production facilities at Alton Oilfield. Surrounding exploration acreage where there is considerable potential for further reserve additions with undrilled locations and attic oil in the Evergreen Formation and possibly extensive oil in the lower Showgrounds Formation which has been proven as a high productivity sand in the area. • • Bounty is now planning to commence oil production at Alton in 2019 which is expected to generate additional revenue of up to $1 million per annum with significant upside from four undrilled locations; enhanced recovery and later an appraisal well at Eluanbrook (see below). Bounty holds an 81.75% interest in the Kooroon JV within PL2 Alton and thereby controls appraisal of the Eluanbrook Updip target in PL2. The main features of Eluanbrook Updip are: • Development: The estimated recoverable resource is 186,000 bbls of oil from P50 OOIP of 625,000 bbls. • Middle Triassic age Showgrounds Sandstone reservoir. • Up dip from proven 53o API gravity oil with associated gas. Oil Growth Projects - AC/P32 Timor Sea AC/P32 is located in the Ashmore Cartier region in the oil prone and prolific Vulcan Graben region. Bounty’s efforts at farming out AC/P 32 were made difficult by heavy oil price declines in 2016 and 2017 but we are seeing signs of recovery in late 2017 and Bounty is aiming to obtain a farm-out and subsequent drill test of the Azalea Prospect. The prospect is located 25 km northeast of the Montara Oil Development in the Timor Sea. Bounty’s current assessment is that there are at least two major stratigraphic prospects in the area with the potential to discover 500 mmbbls original oil in place in the Cretaceous age Puffin Sandstone in the Azalea area (just to the west of where the Wisteria 1 well was drilled in 2008) with 100 mmbbls recoverable oil. There is also the potential to discover additional resources in the Jurassic age formations. Bounty is negotiating to acquire the Cygnus/Polarcus long offset 3D data set to maintain its work commitment program. The permit is in good standing until mid-2019. A discovery will lift Bounty into a major project and to being a mid-level Australian oil operator. 4 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 Tanzania – Kiliwani North & Gas Commercialisation Gas production from Kiliwani North 1 contributed net 88,768 mcf (15,303 boe) to Bounty during the year. Production rates were under 10 MMcfg/d with the well shut-in in early 2018 for pressure build-up and testing. Tanzania - Nyuni Area PSA The Nyuni Area PSA was renewed in late 2011 for an eleven-year period. The operator, Aminex PLC, was negotiating a work program variation with TPDC to enable the acquisition of deep water 3D seismic in the outboard sector of the PSA area and the deferral of the two exploration well drilling commitment. Unconventional Gas Business Looming gas supply shortages in eastern Australia continue to provide encouragement for the pursuit of conventional and unconventional gas in PRL’s 33 – 49 (formerly PEL 218) (Nappamerri Project); Cooper Basin, South Australia and for deep gas in some of Bounty’s other permits principally ATP 2028P (formerly ATP 754P); Surat Basin. Conclusion Oil revenue increases to $2.6 million are expected in 2019. Management will pursue additional oil opportunities from within its own operated oil reserves at Alton in the Surat Basin which will be placed on production in 2019. Further afield it will fully review the Rough Range permit and seek parties for an exploration well in PL 16 Rough Range. On the growth front Bounty is seeking additional opportunities so shareholders may also obtain good leverage through a drill test in AC/P 32 Azalea. Bounty holds excellent Permits as has been demonstrated by the Naccowlah Block successes. PHILIP F.

Development ATP 1189P (formerly ATP 259P) Naccowlah Block and Associated PL’s SW Queensland - Bounty 2% Location: Surrounding Jackson, Naccowlah and Watson Oilfields Background The Naccowlah Block covers 2556 km2, 42% of which is covered by ATP 1189P and the remainder in 24 petroleum leases (PL’s) and applications covering producing fields and one retention application (potential commercial areas). There is significant production infrastructure and pipelines. The Naccowlah Block averaged just over 40 BOPD net to Bounty in the last quarter and Bounty holds 2P + 2C (Contingent) reserves of 127,000 bbls. In past years the 7 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 Operator (Santos Limited) has been very successful in maintaining production at a constant level through production optimisation, completing oil behind pipe and successful near field exploration. An example of this action this year was the outstanding success in conversion of the Cooroo NW 1 Well from a linear rod pump to a beam pump which tripled production. The Jackson and Jackson South fields and associated production facilities are one of the largest in onshore Australia. 2018/2019 Development The Irtalie East 6 well was spudded on 17 July 2017 drilled to total depth of 2,070 metres and was cased and suspended as a future Birkhead Formation oil producer. The joint venture has drilled 3 wells since June 2018 with significant Birkhead zone discoveries at Watkins Field and Jarrar Field. A further 6 – 8 wells are planned. Improving oil prices have allowed the JV to bring forward plans for up to eight wells to be drilled in 2018/19 at locations tagged in the Figure above, potentially adding significantly to Bounty’s reserves and production from this area.

In 2016 it acquired full control of PL 2. Hydrocarbons in the southern part of the Surat Basin are generated in the underlying Bowen Basin Permian sequence and are liquids rich. The oil is trapped in the Triassic age Showgrounds Sandstone and in the Evergreen Formation. The northern section of Bounty's acreage includes the Permian age Tinowan Formation which frequently has a liquids rich gas charge and in places, like Bounty's PL 441 (exPL119) Downlands property, good porosity and permeability. Work continued on renewal of PL 441 during 2018 and at the end of the period the area received native title clearance.2019 work will involve obtaining gas sales contracts and gas facilities upgrades. PL 2 Alton - Bounty 100% PL 2 Kooroon Block – Bounty 81.75% Location: 70 km. East of St George SE Queensland Background PL 2 (Alton Field) has to date produced over 2 million barrels from the Jurassic Age Evergreen Formation. Bounty estimates 2P reserves at Alton of 0.216 million bbls. 2019 Operations Following regulatory clearances in 2019 Bounty will work over 2-3 wells at Alton and commence oil production while it generates a full field development plan including a plan to drill an up-dip appraisal well at Eluanbrook in the northwest section of PL2 and to drill up to 3 attic oil locations within the Alton pool. Initial production of 45 bopd is expected from the Evergreen Formation and then moving to develop attic oil with potential recoverable oil of 167,000 bbls. Bounty is commencing studies on the potential for significant resources in the underlying Showgrounds Formation. Exploration - Surat Basin, Queensland and Nappamerri Trough, South Australia Other exploration projects in these Basins have been summarised in Bounty’s 2017/2018 Quarterly Activities Reports to the ASX. 2018 Activities and Further Programmes Growth Projects AC/P 32 – Offshore Vulcan Sub-basin, Ashmore and Cartier Territory - Bounty 100% Location: Offshore 500 Km west of Darwin, NT. Background This permit is located within the Vulcan Sub-basin. In 2012 Bounty acquired a 100% interest in the permit and in June 2014 it was renewed for a further five years with a well commitment in Year 2 and Year 5 if needed. The principal target is the Azalea Prospect a 500 MMboip potential pool with recoveries in the 20 - 40% range. The Azalea Prospect is: 9 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 • • • • • • • Located in a prolific hydrocarbon province Surrounded by multi-million barrel oil fields One of the largest untested potential oil pools in the Timor Sea Up dip from proven oil in Birch 1 and Swallow Oil Field 14 km to the west Outlined by seismic amplitude and AVO anomalies Associated with direct hydrocarbon indicators in the form of gas chimneys, diagenetic and shallow gas zones overlying the up dip edge Drill ready in water depths suitable for a jack up rig ~ 100 metres 2018 Exploration Further interpretation and evaluation of the reprocessed seismic and inversion continued to define the Azalea Prospect with a potential 500 million barrels of oil in place of which over 100 million barrels would be recoverable. In addition to Azalea; Bounty has established other new structural stratigraphic leads with potential in the 10 – 40-million-barrel recoverable range. Bounty obtained an extension to the licence term from NOPTA to enable more definitive studies of the potential fluid content of the Azalea Prospect and at the end of the period was negotiating to acquire the long offset modern 3D seismic data recently acquired by Polarcus over the permit. GAS/CONDENSATE BUSINESS Development Kiliwani North Development - Nyuni Block Offshore Mandawa Basin Tanzania – Bounty 9.5% Location: 30 Km offshore from Rufiji Delta Tanzania Background Kiliwani North 1 well was drilled in 2008 and hit gas in Neocomian (Lower Cretaceous age) Sands, the same reservoir as at the adjacent Songo Songo Gas Field. The field was tested at 40MMcfg/d and a reserve of 28 Bcf gas (Bounty 2.66 Bcf) was established. A 24-year production Licence was issued in 2011. 2018 the Gas production from Kiliwani North 1 was it became halted during the year as reservoir was apparent that compartmentalised with a very slow recharge into the well bore. Late in the period testing also indicated that the lower perforations may be compromised and that a re-perforation may allow a further 8 BCF gas to be extracted from the well. 10 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 Future Development 2019 Reprocessing of the existing seismic and careful mapping was undertaken to attempt to delimit faults compartmentalising the reservoir. The aim is to find a new drill location for another well to tap around 30 BCF potentially still left in the pool. Growth Projects Nyuni PSA Block – Offshore Mandawa Basin Tanzania - Bounty 10% Location: 30 Km offshore from Rufiji Delta Tanzania Nyuni Block PSA Exploration – 2018 Planning for a 3D seismic survey over the deep-water area in the Permit continued during 2018. At the end of the period the operator, Aminex PLC, was still negotiating a work program variation with TPDC to enable the acquisition of deep water 3D seismic in the outboard sector of the PSA area and the deferral of the two exploration well drilling commitment. the variation the work Once commitment licence is granted, a re- tender process is planned to select a 3D seismic contractor capable of acquiring high resolution 3D seismic over the key Pande West lead in 2019 and to identify other potential prospects in the deep water section with a view to bringing them to drill-ready status. The survey was designed to detail the up-dip extension of Lead 3 in the adjacent Ophir/RakGas East Pande permit which independent consultants suggest could contain 1.3 TCF gas within Bounty’s Nyuni PSA area. There are numerous other deep-water channel/fan features apparent from the limited seismic coverage available with associated seismic anomalies. The Exploration Licence is in good standing. to PEP 11, Offshore Sydney Basin, New South Wales – Bounty 15% Background PEP 11 covers 4,576 km2 of the offshore Sydney Basin immediately adjacent to the largest gas market in Australia and is a high impact exploration project. 11 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 of These prospects remain one the most significant untested gas plays in Australia. The PEP 11 joint venture has demonstrated gas considerable and generation migration in the offshore Sydney Basin, with the previously observed mapped prospects and highly being leads prospective for gas. 2018 Exploration During the period the operator completed a small 2D seismic survey at Baleen to attempt to define a drill location located approximately 30 km south east of Newcastle, New South Wales in PEP 11, as a work commitment for the petroleum title. This “Baleen HR” survey covered approximately 200-line km and was also tied-in to the New Seaclem-1 well location to provide lithological control. Bounty conducted a full review of the permit during the period. The title is in good standing. Subsequent commitments in PEP 11 include an exploration well with a possible 3D seismic survey to be undertaken in 2019/2020. The present gas shortage in NSW has provided increased interest in the offshore potential of PEP 11. The Potential for discovery of commercial quantities of natural gas in PEP 11 provides an exciting prospect for the PEP 11 Joint Venture including Bounty. 12 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 Bounty Oil and Gas NL – Group Petroleum Reserves and Resources - at 30 June 2018 The Group has reviewed all Reserves and Resources to comply with Chapter 5 of the ASX listing rules, the result is presented net to Bounty as at 30 June 2018:- Discovered3 Producing4 Naccowlah Kiliwani North Total Producing Contingent5 Alton Shut In Alton Attic Downlands Gas Field Downlands Oil Leg Eluanbrook Kiliwani North Naccowlah Spring Grove Total Contingent Total Discovered Undiscovered Prospective6 Surat (Mardi Prospect) AC/P 32 Nyuni PEP 11 Total Undiscovered MMboe8 (Recoverable) Note 1P 0.034 0.000 0.034 1C 0.048 0.020 0.101 0.018 0.187 0.221 Low 0.08 20 15 10.7 45.8 2P 0.081 0.000 0.081 2C 0.048 0.168 0.360 0.340 0.143 0.138 0.046 0.347 1.590 1.670 Best 0.21 113 24 128.8 266.2 3P 0.143 0.000 0.143 3C 0.048 0.168 0.360 0.340 0.197 0.501 0.122 0.347 2.083 2.227 High 0.42 302 44 128.8 475.4 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Method / Notes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Bounty group now holds 100% of the Alton Oilfield, 100% of the Alton JV Block and 81.75%% of the Kooroon JV all within PL 2 Alton. As a result Bounty group is holding in the Alton Oilfield; development reserves of 167,000 bbls of recoverable oil in the early Triassic age Basal Evergreen sand reservoir plus a potential 1.136 million bbls of 2P reserves located in the three sands of the Boxvale/Evergreen Formations. And an estimated recoverable resource of 186,000 bbls from P50 OOIP of 625,000 bbls in the Middle Triassic age Showgrounds Sandstone reservoir at the Eluanbrook Prospect within that part of PL2 known as the Kooroon JV. Following commencement of oil production in early 2019 Bounty will continue development of these resources. ATP 2028P (formerly ATP 754P): • Bounty group as the operator of the ATP 754P joint venture co-operated with Armour Energy (Surat Basin) Pty Ltd to file Later Work Programs for and obtain the grant of ATP 2028P covering the southern section of former ATP 754P. The northern section was granted 100% to Armour as ATP 2029P and the group joint venture interest in PL 71 (Exploration) was transferred to Armour. Armour has a seismic option aimed at conducting a drill test of the Mardi Prospect in which Bounty group will be free-carried. Drilling of that multi- zone test in ATP 2028P is planned for 2019 to test for oil and gas in several zones down to the Permian age sequence. Rough Range, Western Australia • During the period the group increased its interest in EP 435, EP 357 and Petroleum Licence L16 onshore Carnarvon Basin and the Rough Range Oilfield and production tangibles to 100% by acquisition of Rough Range Oil Pty Limited. Offshore AC/P 32 Ashmore Cartier Territory; Timor Sea: Bounty 100% o o In 2012 Bounty acquired a 100% interest in the permit. The principal target is the Azalea Prospect a 500 MMbbl original oil in place potential pool with a recoverable oil estimate of 100 MMbbls. During the period NOPTA granted an extension of the Year 1 to 3 program for Bounty to licence and interpret 252km2 of the Polarcus Cygnus 3D Survey Data. This will enable more definitive studies of the potential fluid content of the Azalea Prospect based on the long offset modern data acquired over the area by that new 3D survey. Bounty was negotiating acquisition of this 3D data at the end of the period. o The Azalea Prospect is: Located in a prolific hydrocarbon province – the Vulcan Sub-basin. Surrounded by multi-million barrel oil fields. § § § One of the largest untested potential oil pools in the Timor Sea. § Up dip from proven oil in Birch 1 and Swallow Oil Field 14 km. to the west. § Outlined by seismic amplitude and AVO anomalies. § Associated with direct hydrocarbon indicators in the form of gas chimneys, diagenetic and shallow gas zones overlying the up dip edge. § Drill ready in water depths suitable for a jack up rig – i.e. 120 metres. 16 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2018 PEP 11; New South Wales: Bounty 15% interest: The operator undertook a 2D seismic survey in early 2018 and the permit is in good standing. With major gas supply issues developing in eastern Australia; the operator has identified a new target at Baleen Prospect with AVO analysis of seismic data. Other Properties During the period, Bounty continued to fund exploration and development expenditure in connection with its other operated and joint venture interests located in Queensland and South Australia and Western Australia.

Remuneration of non-executive directors is determined by the Board exclusive of the director under consideration after considering the individual time commitment, duties and function of the subject Director. Further considerations of the amount of remuneration are made by referral to amounts paid to Directors, both executive and non-executive, by other listed entities of comparable size to the Company in the oil and gas exploration industry. The board of directors as a whole determines the proportion of any fixed and variable compensation for each other key management person. Any consulting fees payable to Directors as to specific projects outside the normal day to day duties of the Directors are agreed upon prior to commencement of work on the specific projects. The company makes cash bonus payments to key directors from time to time. Bonus payments by way of share based payments are made from time to time subject to any necessary shareholder approval. All such payments are expensed at the time of issue at the prevailing market price. Each director is paid in cash. Shares and share options have on occasions been granted to directors as part of their remuneration. Senior management personnel policy The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of key management personnel who are senior management executives of the company is as follows:- The remuneration structure comprises a combination of, short term benefits including base fees and long-term incentives and is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company. The contracts for service between the company and key executive management personnel are for fixed terms which may continue at the end of the term. There were no provisions for retirement benefits in contracts with senior management executives of the company made or continued during the year ended 30 June 2018.

Is a company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Bounty Oil & Gas NL (“parent entity”) and controlled entities (“consolidated group” or “group”) and the Group’s interest in jointly controlled assets for the financial year ended 30 June 2018. Supplementary financial information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 26. The Financial Statements are presented in Australian currency. The group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 28 September 2018. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Corporations Act 2001 and comply with other requirements of the law. Compliance with AASB 101 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. a. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial reports. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated. b. Application of new and revised accounting standards None of the new standards and amendmends to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2017 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. 32 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 b. Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective or early adopted by the Group.

Basis of consolidation (i) Controlled entities The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Bounty Oil & Gas NL at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Bounty Oil & Gas NL has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 24 to the financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. For the reporting period the only controlled entities that Bounty Oil & Gas NL had were Ausam Resources Pty Limited (100%), Interstate Energy Pty Limited (100%), Rough Range Pty Limited (100%) and Lansvale Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (100%). 33 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 c. Basis of consolidation (continued) (ii) Joint arrangements Under AASB 11 'Joint Arrangements' investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Bounty Oil & Gas NL has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint Bounty Oil & Gas NL has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint operations are set out in note 25. (iii) Business combinations The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of: (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e., gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately. d. Interests in joint operations A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. When a group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: • its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; • its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and • its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. When a group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses resulting from the transactions are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of other parties' interests in the joint operation. e. Income tax The income tax expense / (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense / (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Current and deferred income tax expense / (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 34 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 e. Income tax (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. Tax Consolidation - Bounty Oil & Gas NL and its wholly owned Australian subsidiary have not formed an income tax consolidation group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. f. Going concern basis The directors have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the period ended 30 June 2018, the Group realised a net loss after tax of $2,080,318 (2017: $387,788). This was largely as a result of non-cash impairment of $1,267,000 to gas production assets. The net cash utilised by operating activities for the period ended 30 June 2018 was $364,084 (2017: net cash utilised $365,212). The Group’s net asset position at 30 June 2018 was $15,828,073 (30 June 2017: $17,908,391) and its cash balance amounted to $541,124 (30 June 2017: $1,024,462). The directors’ cash flow forecasts project that the group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities and obligations (including those exploration commitments as disclosed in Note 21) as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of this financial report. The cash flow forecasts are dependent upon the generation of sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet working capital requirements; contemplating issue of additonal equity by the Group; the ability of the Group to manage discretionary exploration and evaluation expenditure on non-core assets via farmout or disposal of certain interests and or a reduction in its future work programmes. The directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they are satisfied as to the ability of the Group to g. Fair value measurement AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilites. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets and liabilites carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendmends were also made to other standards. AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that a significant input to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: - level 1: Measurement based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. -level 2: Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. -level 3: Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying values of financial assets and liabilites recorded in the financial statements approximates their respective fair values, determined in accordance with the acounting policies described above and adjusted for capitalised transaction costs, if any. 35 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 h. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful debts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days. Collection of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectible, are written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount for the provision is recognised in the income statement. i. Property, plant and equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. j. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Depreciation on assets is calculated over their estimated useful life as follows: Class of fixed asset Office furniture and fittings Computer equipment Plant and equipment Estimated useful life 5 years 4 years 5 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When re-valued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. 36 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 k. Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied: • the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and, • at least one of the following conditions is also met: i) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful exploration, development and commercial exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or, ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable petroleum reserves or resources and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, geophysical surveys, studies, exploratory drilling, sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (or the cash-generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated, being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent 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 in previous years. Where a decision is made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then re-classified to development. l. Production and development assets The group follows the full cost method of accounting for production and development assets whereby all costs, less any incentives related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalised. These costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, the costs of drilling both productive and non productive wells, non producing lease rentals and directly related general and administrative expenses. Proceeds received from the disposal of properties are normally credited against accumulated costs. When a significant portion of the properties is sold, a gain or loss is recorded and reflected in profit or loss. With respect to production assets, depletion of production and development assets and amortisation of production facilities and equipment are calculated using the unit of production method based on estimated proven oil and gas reserves. For the purposes of depletion calculation proved oil and gas reserves before royalties are converted to a common unit measure. The estimated costs for developing proved underdeveloped reserves, future decommissioning and abandonments, net of estimated salvage values, are provided for on the unit of production method included in the provision for depletion and amortisation. In applying the full cost method of accounting, the capitalised costs less accumulated depletion are restricted from exceeding an amount equal to the estimated discounted future net revenues, based on year end prices and costs, less the aggregate estimate future operating and capital costs derived from proven and probable reserves. Development expenditure is recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Where commercial production in an area of interest has commenced, the associated costs together with any forecast future capital expenditure necessary to develop proved and probable reserves are amortised over the estimated economic life of the field on a units-of- production basis. Changes in factors such as estimates of proved and probable reserves that affect unit of production calculations are dealt with on a prospective basis. 37 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 m. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. n. Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of petroleum products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. o. Leased assets Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. p. Financial instruments Recognition and Initial Measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. De-recognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Classification and subsequent measurement i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a company of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. iv) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 38 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 q. Impairment of assets Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. r. Foreign currency transactions and balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (the “functional” currency). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement. s. Employee benefits Wages and salaries, annual leave Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Share based payments – employee share plan Share based compensation has from time to time been provided to eligible persons via the Bounty Oil & Gas N.L. Employee Share Plan (“Plan”). Under AASB 2 “Share-based Payments”, the Employee Share Plan shares are deemed to be equity-settled share-based remuneration. Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of the quoted market price or binomial pricing model. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. t. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. u. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. 39 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 v. Rehabilitation obligations Provisions for future environmental restoration are recognised where there is a present obligation as a result of exploration, development, production or storage activities having been undertaken and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing facilities, abandoning wells and restoring the affected areas. The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at reporting date, with a corresponding charge in the cost of the associated asset. The amount of the provision for future restoration costs relating to exploration, development and production facilities is capitalised and depleted as a component of the cost of those activities. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost. w. Revenue and other income Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). x. Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. y. Earnings per share i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. ii) Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential z. Comparative figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. aa. Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. 40 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 3. Critical accounting estimates and judgments In the application of the group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical and industry experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The following are the critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: Exploration and evaluation assets The group’s policy is discussed in Note 2(k) & (l). Its policy for production and development assets is discussed in Note 1(n). The application of these policies requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If after having capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, management concludes that the capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by future sale or exploitation, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off through profit or loss. Estimate of reserve quantities The estimated quantities of proven and probably hydrocarbon reserves and resources reported by the group are integral to the calculation of amortisation (depletion) and depreciation expense and to assessments of possible impairment of assets. Estimated reserve quantities are based upon data from exploration and development drilling, interpretations of geological and geophysical models and assessment of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of producing the reserves. Management prepares reserve estimates which conform to guidelines prepared by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, USA. Where appropriate these estimates are then verified by independent technical experts. These assessments require assumptions to be made regarding future development and production costs, commodity prices, exchange rates and fiscal regimes. The estimates of reserves may change from period to period as the economic assumptions used to estimate the reserves can change from period to period, and as additional geological or reservoir data is generated during the course of operations. Provision for rehabilitation and decommissioning The group estimates the future removal and decommissioning costs of oil and gas production facilities, wells, pipelines and related assets at the time of installation of the assets. In most instances the removal of these assets will occur many years in the future. The estimates of future removal costs therefore requires management to make adjustments regarding the removal date, future environmental legislation, the extent of decommissioning activities and future removal technologies. Impairment of production and development assets The group assesses whether oil and gas assets are tested for impairment on a semi-annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount from the cash generating unit to which each asset belongs. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and or subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows are discounted to their present values in determining the recoverable amount. During the year, the group carried out semi annual reviews of its petroleum production, development and exploration properties. The reviews led to the recognition of an impairment loss of $1.38 million in relation to Kiliwani North joint operations ($1.27 million) and Bakersfield ($0.11 million). This non-cash loss has been recognised in the Group's profit or loss statement. These properties are reported as in the core oil and gas segment. Business combination Management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of the various elements of a business combination. See Note 2(c)(iii). 41 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 4. Segment Information Identification of Reportable Segments Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, being the CEO, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of the performance is more specifically focused on the category of business units. The Group’s reportable segments under AASB 8 Operating Segments are therefore as follows: Core Petroleum Segment - Oil and gas exploration, development and production Secondary Segment - Investment in listed shares and securities. Segment revenue and results Segment revenue Segment profit/(loss) Core Oil & Gas Segment Production projects Development projects Exploration projects Secondary Segment Listed securities Total from continuing operations Other revenue Central admin costs and directors remuneration Loss before tax 30-Jun-18 $ 30-Jun-17 $ 30-Jun-18 $ 1,572,593 2,677,801 (1,095,362) - - - - - (117,226) 10,068 1,582,661 8,775 2,686,576 10,068 (1,202,520) 97,268 (975,066) (2,080,318) 30-Jun-17 $ 735,253 - (10,263) 8,775 733,765 (7,201) (1,114,352) (387,788) Segment revenue Revenue reported above represents revenue/income generated from external sources. There were no intersegment sales during the period (2017: nil). Accounting policies of reportable segments The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the group’s accounting policies described in Note 1. Segment profit/(loss) in this Note represents the profit/(loss) earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs and directors remuneration, other investment revenue such as interest earned, finance costs and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Information about major customers Included in the revenue arising from direct sales of oil and gas of $1,572,593 (2017: $2,677,801) are revenues of approximately $815,921 (2017: $2,031,018) which arose from sales to the Group’s largest customer. The revenue from the Group’s second largest customer was approximately $347,302 (2017: $430,110). No other single customer contributed 10% or more to the Groups revenue for both 2018 and 2017.

Segment Information (continued) Segment assets are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. Segment liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Segment liabilites incude trade and other payables and provisions. The unallocated items include items that are not considered part of the core operations of any segment.

Controlled entities Details of the percentage of ordinary shares held in controlled entities are disclosed in Note 24. All inter-company loans and receivables are eliminated on consolidation and are interest free with no set repayment terms. b. Transactions with other related parties: The Group has a related party relationship with its joint ventures/joint operations (note 25) and with its key management personnel. The Company and its controlled entities engage in a variety of related party transactions in the ordinary course of business. These transactions are generally conducted on normal terms and conditions. There were no transactions with related parties other than as disclosed in Note 20 and this Note 22. 23. Financial instruments a) Capital management: The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from last financial year.The Group's capital structure consists of equity (comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as detailed in Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity) and no debt. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Board reviews the capital structure of the Group on an on-going basis. As part of this review, the Board considers the cost of capital and associated risks. 49 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 23. Financial instruments (continued) The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was nil (2017: nil). b) Categories of financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Available for sale financial assets designated as at FVTPL Total financial assets Note 12 Financial liabilities Other amortised cost - trade creditors Total financial liabilities 30-Jun-18 30-Jun-17 $ 541,124 1,890,518 45,816 2,477,458 $ 1,024,462 1,359,926 24,939 2,409,327 (1,867,404) (1,867,404) (783,882) (783,882) c) Financial risk management objectives: The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk. Foreign currency risk: Foreign currency risk is managed by retaining majority of its cash and payables in Australian currency. Petroleum sales are received in USD with short term credit terms. Liquidity risk: The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Credit risk: The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and only transacts with financial institutions that are rated the equivalent of AA and above. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and transactions concluded are spread amongst approved counterparties. Trade receivables consist of a limited number of customers, all of which are large creditworthy organisations. The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or company of debtors under financial instruments or collateral securities entered into by the Company. Commodity risk: The sales revenue of the company is derived from sales of oil at the prevailing TAPIS or Dated Brent oil price on the Singapore market in USD. Natural gas sales are governed by a fixed price contract. Sales volumes are not sufficient to undertake the expense of entering derivative contracts to manage that risk. d) Fair value of financial instruments: Some of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used). The fair values of financial assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.

The joint participants own the assets of the joint operations as tenants in common and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred by the joint operations. These entities are therefore classified as joint operations and the group recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as described in note 2(c)(ii) & 2(d). The accounting policies adopted for the group’s joint operations are consistent with those in previous financial year. The company’s share of revenue and expenses from joint operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The company’s share of the assets and liabilities held in joint operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The company holds significant petroleum production and development joint operations interests included in the Consolidated Statements as follows: (i) a 10% interest in Kiliwani Gas Development Block as part of larger, the Nyuni Block in Tanzania. (ii) a 2% interest in various Petroleum Leases and part of ATP 1189P, Queensland and associated oil production tangibles and pipelines referred to as the Naccowlah Block. Details of the total revenue and expenses derived from or incurred in Kiliwani Gas Development Block and ATP 1189P joint operations and the company’s share of the assets and liabilities employed in these joint operations are as follows: $ $ Revenue from petroleum Petroleum and all other expenses Net Profit/(Loss) from joint operations Current assets Trade receivables Inventories Non current assets Property, plant & equipment (net of accumulated depreciation) Other non-current assets Total assets in joint operations Current liabilities - Trade and other payables Non current liabilities - Provisions Total liabilities in joint operations Net interest in joint operations 51 1,572,593 (1,400,955) 171,638 2,677,801 (1,108,289) 1,569,512 1,823,959 20,229 1,169,722 26,270 502,533 3,418,259 5,764,980 1,432,481 1,062,806 2,495,287 504,228 4,926,296 6,626,516 525,832 1,049,917 1,575,749 3,269,693 5,050,767 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 25. Interest in joint operations (continued) Interests in other joint operation entities Also included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2018, the group held interests in joint operations whose principal activities were exploration, evaluation and development of oil and gas but not accruing material revenue. The company contributes cash funds to the joint operations by way of cash calls for a specified percentage of total exploration and development activities. Other than the ATP1189P Naccowlah Block and Kiliwani North, Tanzania production Joint Operations none of the joint operations hold any material assets and accordingly the Company’s share of exploration, evaluation and development expenditure is accounted for in accordance with the policy set out in Note 1. 26. Business combination On 1 April 2018, the Group acquired 100% of the equity shares of Rough Range Oil Pty Ltd and its subsidiary Lansvale Oil & Gas Pty ltd (Rough Range entities), a Western Australia focused oil exploration business, thereby obtaining control from Kestrel Petroleum Pty Ltd., a personally related entity of the CEO. The acquisition was made to consolidate the Group’s position in the EP435, EP359 oil exploration permits and L16 lease. Rough Range entities have approximately 90% interest in these licences. Fair value of consideration transferred Rough Range Oil Pty Ltd. including its 100% controlled subsidiary Lansvale Oil & Gas Pty Ltd. (Rough Range entities) were acquired for a deferred cash consideration of $15,000 and fair value of advances made previously to the acquiree noted below.

For tax purposes, the tax values of assets are required to be reset based on market values. At the date of finalisation of these consolidated financial statements, the necessary market valuations and other calculations had not been finalised and they have therefore only been provisionally determined based on the directors’ best estimate of the likely tax values. No goodwill arose on the acquisition based on the provisional calculation. As at 30 June 2018, there have been no changes in the estimate of the probable cash outflow but the liability has increased to $121,280 due to the accrual of interest expense on outstanding trade payables. Acquisition-related costs amounting to $323 are not included as part of the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, as part of other expenses. Identifiable net assets The fair value of the trade payables acquired as part of the business combination amounted to $118,911. As of the acquisition date, the Group’s advances to the acquiree company amounted to $267,455, and eliminated on combination. 52 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 26. Business combinations (continued) Rough Range entities contribution to the Group results Rough range entities incurred a loss of $3,271 from 1 April 2018 to the reporting date, primarily due to general administration costs. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2017, the contribution to revenue would have been nil and the loss would have increased by $511,219. 27.

Gas initially in place A structural or stratigraphic feature which has the potential to contain hydrocarbons An agreement in which a national or state government gives an oil Company the rights to explore for and produce oil and/or gas in a designated area. Thousand cubic feet – the standard measure for natural gas. Measured depth below Rotary Table Million barrels, million barrels of oil. Million cubic feet, million cubic feet of gas, million cubic feet of gas per day 10% probability of occurrence 90% probability of occurrence Permeability The degree to which fluids such as oil, gas and water can move through the pore spaces of a reservoir rock. Permit Play A petroleum tenement, lease, licence or block. A geological concept which, if proved correct, could result in the discovery of hydrocarbons. Plug and Abandon (P&A) The process of terminating operations in a well. Cement plugs are set in the borehole and the rig moves off the location. The borehole is thus left in a safe condition. In some cases, where the Operator considers it possible that the well may be re-entered at a later date, the well may be only temporarily plugged and abandoned. Pmean The average (mean) probability of occurrence 64 Bounty Oil and Gas NL Annual Report – 2018 Porosity The void space in a rock created by cavities between the constituent mineral grains. Liquids are contained in the void space. Prospect (petroleum) A geological or geophysical anomaly that has been surveyed and defined, usually by seismic data, to the degree that its configuration is fairly well established and on which further exploration such as drilling can be recommended. Prospective Resources Undisclosed resources PSA PSC PRL Reserves Reservoir Production Sharing Agreement Production Sharing Contract Petroleum Retention Lease Quantities of economically recoverable hydrocarbons estimated to be present within a trap, classified as prove, probably or possible. A subsurface volume of rock of sufficient porosity and permeability to permit the accumulation of crude oil and natural gas under adequate trap conditions. Seal, Sealing Formation A geological formation that does not permit the passage of fluids. Refer also to Cap Rock. Seismic Survey A type of geophysical survey where the travel times of artificially created seismic waves are measured as they are reflected in a near vertical sense back to the surface from subsurface boundaries. This data is typically used to determine the depths to the tops of stratigraphic units and in making subsurface structural contour maps and ultimately in delineating prospective structures. Spud To start the actual drilling of a well. Stratigraphic Trap A type of petroleum trap which results from variations in the lithology of the reservoir rock, which cause a termination of the reservoir, usually on the up dip extension. Structure Sub-basin TCF/Tcf TVDS Up-dip A discrete area of deformed sedimentary rocks, in which the resultant bed configuration is such as to form a potential trap for migrating hydrocarbons. A localised depression within a basin. Trillion cubic feet.
