Petroleum revenue reached $2.91 million from oil produced from Naccowlah Block, SW Queensland notwithstanding a very challenging oil price decline as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. With a near halving of active drill rigs in North America and occasions when oil for forward delivery in the USA turned negative, the Naccowlah Block joint venture operator; Santos Limited achieved above market oil prices with intelligent hedging strategies. There are signs that oil prices are in recovery. Bounty continues to invest its oil revenue back into proving additional oil reserves. It participated in a continuing highly successful 9 well appraisal drilling campaign into the Birkhead and Westbourne zones in the Naccowlah Block. This drilling secures our future revenue. Bounty is building its balance sheet through cash and asset increases; building oil reserves and investing in new infrastructure. As we strengthen our balance sheet Bounty will commence development of our very significant Surat Basin, SE Queensland oil and gas reserves. On the high impact front Bounty is generating significant interest by its 15% participation in PEP 11 Offshore Sydney Basin and the joint venture is planning to drill a major gas exploration target in PEP 11 in 2021. The joint venture anticipates that it will shortly receive an extension of its permit term and move to drill preparation. We are also seeking to create increased shareholder value through looking for additional high impact offshore exploration projects. Bounty is confident about its future in a world which continues to demand high quality oil and where there is a gas shortage in East Australia. I thank shareholders for their support in this challenging year of 2020. I would particularly like to thank my other Board members and our dedicated staff and consultants for their great work this year as we look forward to an exciting new drill program for 2021. Graham Reveleigh Chairman 26 October 2020 2 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 CEO’S REVIEW Highlights for the Year:       Bounty petroleum revenue declined 21% to $2.91 million (2019: $3.66 million) mainly from oil sales in Australia. Operating profit of $0.43 million (2019: operating profit $1.11 million) before non-cash expenses including amortisation and an impairment of oil & gas assets of $2.9 million. Net loss after these non-cash items of $3.1 million (2019: $2.78 million loss). Cash and current assets at 30 June 2020 were $1.47 million (2019: $1.47 million) with nil debt. Bounty participated in another successful drilling program in 2020 adding to reserves and oil revenue. Bounty is planning to maintain and potentially increase oil production in 2021 from its Cooper Basin assets by participating in at least 5 additional appraisal and NFE oil wells in the Naccowlah Block. Introduction Bounty’s petroleum revenue was satisfactory at $2.91 million and we anticipate that it will exceed $3 million in 2021 by further contributions from the recent Birkhead and Westbourne zone discoveries in Naccowlah Block and a modest oil price recovery. Bounty added to its production tangibles by participating at its share of new pipeline and oil production infrastructure builds in Naccowlah Block. Our strong 3D seismic database continues to provide new targets and the operator is examining another 12 appraisal and NFE targets with 5 firm wells planned for 2021. Bounty had further excellent drilling results. 9 wells were drilled in Naccowlah Block during the period out of which 7 were cased for production and completion. See the Directors Report for further 2020 production and revenue details. Bounty relinquished ACP 32 Timor Sea and fully expensed its investment. Bounty is actively seeking high impact offshore Australia exploration opportunities. 2021 Forward Plans The successful drilling results in Naccowlah Block have allowed Santos Limited as operator to identify 12 new targets and propose at least 5 additional appraisal wells in 2021 in the Natan Bolan Corella area southwest of Jarrar Field. This additional drilling will increase our very conservatively stated Naccowlah Block oil reserves and provide steady oil revenues in coming years. Bounty completed further compliance and facility work at PL 2 Alton in preparation for production. Bounty will continue planning to recommence oil production from PL 2 Alton and gas production from PL 441 Downlands; near Surat, Queensland. Bounty has other Surat Basin gas exploration opportunities to contribute to future revenue growth. Bounty holds 15% of PEP 11 Offshore Sydney Basin in what has the potential to lead 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 and active planning is underway aimed at advancing the Baleen Prospect to a drill test in 2021. At Rough Range, Western Australia Bounty has 100% ownership of the Rough Range Oilfield and will continue seismic studies to determine the geometry of the Bee Eater prospect. More details on current projects are set out in the Project and Operations Review. 3 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Onshore Projects Oil Business SW Queensland – Cooper Basin ATP 1189P Naccowlah Block – see Maps in Project and Operations Review below. Oil production from the Santos Limited operated ATP 1189 Naccowlah Block was 27,286 bbls (2019: 39,792 bbls). Falling oil prices in $A terms reduced revenues to $2.91 million. Bounty continued to participate in a successful oil appraisal program in the Naccowlah Block. Wells are being progressively tied in with new pipelines and production infrastructure. During the period Bounty participated in a further series of 9 appraisal and NFE oilwells, with 7 cased for production and only 2 P&A’d. This continuing exceptionally successful program has increased Bounty’s oil reserves in Naccowlah Block and maintained oil revenue at satisfactory levels for the year. Details of the wells are set out in the Project and Operations Review below. Significant sales volumes will continue to come from additional Birkhead and Westbourne zone discoveries at Cooroo Field, Jarrar Field and other Fields within Naccowlah Block. The joint venture is planning a further 12 Naccowlah appraisal wells with at least 5 in the current financial year. SE Queensland – Surat Basin Petroleum Lease 2 Alton (PL2) – see Maps 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 plus 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 resource additions with undrilled locations and attic oil in the Evergreen Formation. In addition the Showgrounds Formation has been proven as a high productivity sand in the area.    Bounty holds an 81.75% interest in the Kooroon JV within PL2 Alton and thereby controls appraisal of the Eluanbrook Updip target in PL 2. Commencement of oil production in 2020 was deferred due to exceptionally depressed oil prices and Bounty is now planning to commence oil production at PL 2 Alton in 2021. This 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 the Eluanbrook prospect in PL 2. Petroleum Lease 441 Downlands (PL 441) – see Maps in Project and Operations Review below. Bounty continued facility reviews and compliance activities. The PL 441 production infrastructure and pipeline is connected to the Silver Springs – Wallumbilla trunk line and Bounty is studying gas production feasibility. Western Australia – Carnarvon Basin Petroleum Lease L 16, Rough Range Bounty conducted well integrity monitoring on the Rough Range 1B well in Petroleum Licence L 16 onshore Carnarvon Basin and other remediation at the Rough Range Oilfield. It continued data compilation and interpretation work on the seismic database. 4 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Bounty is planning to continue seismic and geological reviews at L 16 in 2021 to provide confidence for a drill test of the Bee Eater prospect in southwest L16. 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 (formerly PEL 218) (Nappamerri Project); Cooper Basin, South Australia where Bounty holds a 24.8% interest and for deep gas in some of Bounty’s other permits. Offshore Projects - Growth PEP 11; New South Wales The operator Asset Energy Pty Limited undertook a 2D seismic survey in March 2018 and the permit is in good standing. Control of the operator reverted to BPH Energy Limited and interests associated with Mr David Breeze in 2019 and Bounty and Asset have worked very co-operatively to advance to a drill test of the previously well-defined gas prone Baleen Prospect in 2021. With major gas supply issues developing in eastern Australia; the operator has identified with AVO analysis of the new seismic data a new target at Baleen Prospect. AC/P32 Ashmore Cartier - Timor Sea Bounty’s efforts at farming out AC/P 32 were made difficult by heavy oil price declines in 2019/2020 and Bounty relinquished this project with a non-cash impairment of $2.90 million. Conclusion Oil revenue is expected to be $2.5 million in 2021. Australia confronts the challenge of finding more domestic oil and gas. Bounty maintained its oil reserves in the year to 31 December 2019 and is well placed for additional oil reserve growth at end 2020. It will look for above trend growth preferably through focus on Bounty operated projects. Management will pursue additional oil opportunities from within its own operated oil resources at Alton in the Surat Basin which will be placed on production in 2021. Further afield it will fully review the seismic and other data in the Rough Range permit and seek partners for an exploration well at Bee Eater in PL 16 Rough Range. On the growth front Bounty is seeking additional offshore gas/condensate opportunities in Australia so shareholders obtain good leverage. Bounty holds excellent Permits as has been demonstrated by the 2020 Naccowlah Block drilling successes and we are confident of further oil drilling success in 2021. PHILIP F. KELSO Chief Executive Officer 26 October 2020 5 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 PROJECT and OPERATIONS REVIEW Bounty Projects Bounty has production and exploration operations in four states and territories within Australia.

Bounty projects not specifically referred to below in this Project Review are summarised in Bounty’s 2020 Quarterly Activity Reports to the ASX and on Bounty’s website: www.bountyoil.com. 6 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 OIL BUSINESS SW Queensland – Cooper Basin Production Bounty’s petroleum production and sales for the year ended 30 June 2020 are summarised in the Review of Operations set out in the Directors Report. Bounty’s production from the Naccowlah project reached a recent peak at end of year 2019, the decline from this peak has been mitigated by successful drilling and at year end Bounty was producing 63 bopd. Development Naccowlah Block ATP 1189P Naccowlah Block and Associated PL’s SW Queensland - Bounty 2% Location: Surrounding Jackson, Naccowlah and Watson Oilfields 7 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Background The Naccowlah Block covers 1794 km2, 9% of which is covered by ATP 1189P and the remainder in 25 petroleum leases (PL’s) and applications covering producing fields. There is significant production infrastructure and pipelines. Bounty’s share of production from the Naccowlah Block was 27,285 bbls of oil equivalent for the year. Bounty holds 2P + 2C (Contingent) reserves of 145,000 bbls. The decrease in production due to natural decline, was partially offset by a very successful drilling program (see below). Much of the recent drilling has converted oil resources contingent on drilling to proven reserves. 2019 / 2020 Naccowlah Block Drilling Naccowlah Block 2019 – 2020 Drilling The Naccowlah Block joint venture undertook further near field exploration (NFE) and development drilling in the 12 months ending 30 June 2020 and Bounty participated in all wells with a 78% success rate. Drilling was directed at extending Birkhead zone oil at Jarrar Field and Westbourne zone oil at Cooroo Field.

East of St George SE Queensland PL 2 Background In 2016 Bounty 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 Downlands property, good porosity and permeability. Preparations are underway to re-open the gas plant in PL 441 and pipeline and bring the field back into gas production, provided the economics support it. There is a ready market for the gas due to a shortage of domestic gas in the Eastern states.

Bounty estimates 2P reserves at Alton of 0.216 million bbls. 2020 Operations Bounty focused on data digitisation, compliance and development planning for 2021 oil production. 2020/21 Plans Bounty plans to work over 2-3 wells at Alton and commence oil production while it generates a full field development plan including drilling an up-dip appraisal well at Eluanbrook in the northwest section of PL 2 B and up to 3 attic oil locations within Block 2 C - the Alton Pool. Initial production of 100 bopd is expected from the Evergreen Formation and then moving to develop attic oil with potential recoverable oil of 167,000 bbls. Bounty is targeting 350,000 bbls of oil within known pools in PL 2. The present depressed oil prices have inhibited progress on this plan. Surat Basin - Exploration ATP 2028 – Bounty 50% Location: 70 km. East of St George SE Queensland Background Bounty has lodged applications for potential commercial areas on ATP 2028 the area which surrounds the Alton Field. There are two principal targets for exploration in ATP 2028; the 200,000 barrel Mardi lead to the west of Alton in the Jurassic age Boxvale Sandstone and the Triassic age Showgrounds Sandstone in channels up dip from oil in Farawell 1 where they drape over a seismic feature near the Farawell Well. South Surat Basin 10 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 GAS/CONDENSATE BUSINESS Surat Basin (North) Development Downlands PL 441 – Bounty 100%, Spring Grove PCA 159 (ATP 1190) – Bounty 24.75% Location: Just north of Surat Township Queensland Downlands and Spring Grove Fields Background Renewal of PL 441 and the re-availability of the Silver Springs – Wallumbilla pipeline for gas export during 2018 has provided Bounty with potential to re-commence gas production at Downlands PL 441. Bounty is determining the feasibility of re-opening gas production at PL 441 and exploring the oil leg to the field. 2020/21 Operations Work is underway on taking the gas wells and plant out of care and maintenance and bringing the field back to production. During 2021 it is intended to produce the field and evaluate the potential reserves remaining. The Downlands gas field occurs in sands overlying a basement high. Ringing the high where the sands abut the basement are a series of oil pools and potential pools in the Tinowan Formation which were intersected in Downlands-3 and 4 both of which produced oil to surface. Bounty intends to evaluate these oil pools further once the gas-condensate field is back in production. 11 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia - Production Licence PL L16 – Bounty 100% Location: Surrounding Rough Range Oil Field, 60 Km south of Exmouth, Carnarvon Basin WA Background This production licence straddles the Rough Range anticline, the location of the first oil discovery in Australia. The Dingo Claystone, the prime source rock for the Carnarvon Basin, is mature and generating oil in the Patterson Trough running north south along the western edge of the Licence. Oil has migrated a short distance into Rough Range Anticline. Bounty's Licence contain two known proved oil pools - Rough Range and Parrot Hill. Pervasive faulting and poor seismic imaging along the crest of structures makes identifying drill targets challenging. Future Work The principal undrilled prospect is the 3 million bbl potential Bee Eater prospect in the southern section of L 16. is fully reviewing the seismic and geological database seeking methods to image oil pools directly given the relatively shallow 1100 metre depth to target. After developing a method to de-risk the data Bounty intends conducting a drill test of the Bee Eater prospect. Bounty Growth Projects 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. PEP 11 Near Top Permian Structure 12 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 The operator Asset Energy Pty Limited and Bounty undertook a 200km 2D seismic survey in PEP 11 in March 2018 and the permit is in good standing. That survey was undertaken in the area of the Baleen prospect and with AVO analysis of the new seismic data the Baleen target area has been further refined. The Baleen target area is located approximately 30 km south east of Newcastle and the area is gas prone with anomalous recordings of gas at the sea floor. 2020/21 Exploration In late 2019 the PEP 11 Joint Venture reviewed the work program and resolved to proceed with the drilling of an exploration well in the Baleen area subject to approvals from NOPTA and other regulatory authorities and financing. In addition to Baleen the PEP 11 project has additional significant structural targets with potential for multi TCF natural gas resources. In late 2019 the operator Asset Energy Pty Limited and Bounty made application to NOPTA to change the current Permit conditions to proceed with the drilling of an exploration well in lieu of a 500 square km 3D Seismic Survey and to extend the Permit term until March 2023 to enable that drilling. That application was pending at the end of the period and the PEP 11 Joint Venture has been advised that it is in the final decision phase. Subject to approval there will be no requirement to undertake the 500 sq. km 3D seismic program. As a result with major gas supply issues developing in eastern Australia Bounty and the operator are well placed to move PEP 11 to a drill ready status at the Baleen Prospect in 2021 where AVO (Amplitude versus Offset) analysis has defined an anomaly in the prospective Early to Mid-Permian Shoalhaven Group. The marine sands of the Group are the targets especially further seawards where the sands can be expected to have good reservoir characteristics. PEP 11 remains one of the most significant untested gas plays in Australia. The PEP JV has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration in the offshore Sydney Basin, with the previously observed mapped prospects and leads being highly prospective for gas.

Payne (Chairman) (Non-executive Director) (Non-executive Director) Company Secretary The following persons held the position of company secretary and chief financial officer of the group during the financial year:  S. Saraf Principal Activities The principal activity of the company and the group during the financial year was that of exploration for, development, production and marketing of oil and gas (petroleum). Investment in listed entities is treated as a secondary activity and business segment. There were no significant changes in the nature of the company’s principal activities during the financial year. Operating Results Consolidated loss of the group attributable to equity holders after providing for income tax amounted to $3.1 million (see comparative details below). Profit/(loss) from ordinary activities before income tax Income tax attributable to loss Net profit/(loss) after income tax Consolidated 2020 $ million (3.1) - (3.1) Consolidated 2019 $ million (2.78) - (2.78) Revenue from continuing operations for the period was $2.91 million down 21% on the previous year (2019: $3.6 million) primarily due to lower crude prices and decrease in oil production. The operating loss was determined after taking into account the following material items:     Petroleum revenue; (mainly from oil and gas sales) of $2.91 million Direct petroleum operating expenses of $1.51 million Employee benefits expense of $0.75 million Non-cash expenses for: o Impairment charge to oil and gas assets of o Amortisation and depreciation expenses of $2.90 million $0.62 million 14 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Details of drilling activity, exploration and development operations and cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2020 have been reported by the company to the Australian Securities Exchange in the Quarterly Activity Report and Appendix 5B for each of the quarters during the year and in additional announcements on particular items. A summary of revenues and results of significant business and geographical segments is set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. Brief details are set out below: Review of Operations Production & Sales: During the year ended 30 June 2020, the company:  Produced oil as a joint venture participant from several oil fields and leases operated by Santos Limited in ATP 1189P, Naccowlah Block, SW Queensland. Petroleum revenue and production in barrels of oil equivalent (boe) are summarised below:- Naccowlah Block Bounty Share (2% interest) Totals Revenue $ Production boe 2020 2019 $2.91 million 27,286 $3.66 million 39,792 Exploration and Development Significant exploration and development operations during the year under review were: Australia Onshore Cooper Basin, South-western Queensland ATP 1189P Naccowlah Block; SW Queensland: Oil production operations continued at a decreased rate from the producing fields including Jackson and from wells including recent wells in the Irtalie East, Watson, Watson North and Watkins Fields. New pipelines and production infrastructure were completed. Australian $ oil prices were lower with offsets from hedging. Cost cutting efforts continued. New appraisal drilling continued in the financial year with very good success. Further Later Development Plans were lodged with the Department of Natural Resources Mines and Energy for the Naccowlah Block ATP 1189P Petroleum Leases and a number of lease renewals were pending. The operator Santos Limited undertook further near field exploration (NFE) and development drilling in the 12 months ending 30 June 2020 and Bounty participated in all wells with the following results:- Well Results Tennaperra 9 Cased for production Jarrar 6 Jarrar 7 Cased for production Cased for production 15 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Jarrar 8 Cooroo NW 3 Cooroo NW 4 Cooroo 7 Cooroo NW 5 Cooroo NW 6 Cased for production Cased for production P&A Cased for production Cased for production P&A Naccowlah Block reserves are assessed at the end of each calendar year. As a result of drilling in 2019 the Naccowlah Block 2P reserves remained steady in the 2019 calendar year. Bounty anticipates that the above 2020 drills will lift 2P reserves in calendar year 2020. A further program of appraisal and development wells are planned for 2021. Surat Basin; Eastern Queensland Petroleum Lease 2 Alton      Further planning continued to develop the PL 2 Alton reserves in 2020/2021 initially by producing oil from Alton Oilfield. 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. Oil price declines curtailed commencement of oil production in 2020 however in early 2021 Bounty will continue development of these resources. Petroleum Lease 441 Downlands   PL 441 (formerly PL 119) covering shut in gas reserves and oil prospects was renewed on 5 June 2019. Bounty completed certain compliance audits and facilities studies on its gas processing plant and developed an optimal plan for re-commencing gas production. ATP 2028P (formerly ATP 754P):  Bounty group as the operator of the ATP 2028 joint venture with Armour Energy (Surat Basin) Pty Ltd obtained the grant of ATP 2028P covering the southern section of former ATP 754P. Armour has a seismic option to conducting a drill test of the Mardi Prospect to test for oil and gas in several zones down to the Permian age sequence. Bounty extended the option and Bounty group will be free-carried. If seismic surveys are positive then drilling of that multi-zone test is planned for 2021. Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia Petroleum Licence L 16 Rough Range  During the period the group conducted well integrity monitoring on the Rough Range 1B well in Petroleum Licence L 16 onshore Carnarvon Basin and other remediation at the Rough Range Oilfield. 16 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020  Bounty commenced a full seismic and geological review at L 16 aimed at further refinement of the structure and reservoir to prepare for:- o o Further seismic surveys and/or An exploration well. Offshore PEP 11; New South Wales: Bounty 15% interest: The operator Asset Energy Pty Limited undertook a 2D seismic survey in March 2018 and the permit is in good standing. Asset Energy and Bounty have co-operated to advance to a drill test of the previously well-defined Baleen Prospect. With major gas supply issues developing in eastern Australia; the operator has identified a new target at Baleen Prospect using AVO analysis of seismic data. At the end of the period a decision on permit extension and variation by NOPTA was pending. AC/P 32 Ashmore Cartier Territory; Timor Sea: Bounty 100% Efforts at farmout of the well commitment in AC/P 32 continued over several years without success and Bounty relinquished AC/P 32 in late 2019. As a result it incurred a material non-cash expense item of $2.90 million with all prior expenditure written off. 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. Bounty is actively seeking additional material projects. Corporate – Share Issues During the year ended 30 June 2020 the company did not make any equity issues.

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.

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 2020. 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 30 September 2020. 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), and the Corporations Act 2001 . 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. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies 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 financial report is presented in Australian dollars and under the option available to the Group under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated. 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. b. Adoption of new and amended 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 2019 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. - AASB 16 Leases - In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 16 Leases, which is effective for annual periods that begin on or after 1 January 2019. The leases recognised by the Group predominantly relate to office premises and storage facility. AASB 16 provides a new lessee accounting model which requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months unless the underlying asset is of low value. The depreciation of the lease assets and interest on the lease liabilities are recognised in the consolidated income statement. Before the adoption of AASB 16, the Group classified each of its leases (as lessee) at inception as either a finance lease or operating lease. For operating leases, the leased item was not capitalised and the lease payments were recognised in the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis. The Group has adopted the new AASB in a modified approach whereby it will not reassess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at 1 July 2019 but apply the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying AASB 17 and Interpretation 4 at the date of initial application. The Group will further adopt a practical appraoch to apply a common discount rate to all leases with reasonably similar attributes (i.e. similar remaining lease term for a similar class of underlying asset in a similar economic environment). Lease liabilities will be measured at their present value of future payments on the initial date of application, being 1 July 2019 discounted at the incremental borrowing rate at that date, and right-of-use assets are equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application. The Group assessed that the adoption of the new AASB 16 has no material impact on the consoldiated statement of financial positon due to the low value nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. 'Leases accounting policy (applied from 1 January 2019) are disclosed in detail at Note 2 (o). 32 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 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. The company is still assessing whether there will be any material impact.

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%)(deregistered from 1 July 2020). (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. 33 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 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. 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. 34 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 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 2020, the Group realised a net loss after tax of $3,102,592 (2019: $2,782,568). This was primarily due to non-cash impairment of $2.9 million to oil and gas assets. The net cash generated by operating activities for the period ended 30 June 2020 was $1,017,991 (2019: net cash generated $1,461,497). The Group’s net asset position at 30 June 2020 was $9,942,913 (30 June 2019: $13,045,505) and a cash balance of $1,096,605 (30 June 2019: $813,870). 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 implement the above. 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 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 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 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. 35 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 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. 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. 36 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 l. Production and development assets (continued) 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. 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. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any estimated selling costs. The cost of petroleum products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. o. Leases Detailed below are the new accounting policies of the Group upon adoption of AASB 16 from 1 July 2019: When a contract is entered into, the Group assesses whether the contract contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group separates the lease and non-lease components of the contract and accounts for these separately. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. Leases as a lessee Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised at commencement date of the lease when the asset is available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful life and the lease term. Periodic adjustments are made for any re-measurements of the lease liabilities and for impairment losses, assessed in accordance with the Group’s impairment policies. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. Lease payments are fixed payments or index-based variable payments incorporating Group’s expectations of extension options and do not include non-lease components of a contract. A portfolio approach was taken when determining the implicit discount rate for the office premise and office car bay lease. The lease liability is remeasured when there are changes in future lease payments arising from a change in rates, index or lease terms from exercising an extension or termination option. A corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets, with any excess recognised in the consolidated income statement. Short-term leases and lease of low value assets Short term leases (lease term of 12 month or less) and leases of low value assets are recognised as incurred as an expense in the consolidated income statement. 37 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 p. Financial instruments i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under AASB 15. In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date(the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset). Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories: (i) Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments) (ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (iii) derecognition (equity instruments) (i) Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments): The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: - The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and - The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes other receivables. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. (iii) Derecognition: A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when: -The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or - The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. 38 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 p. Financial instruments (continued) Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. Impairment of financial assets Expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss will be recognised through an allowance. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12- months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. ii) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Derecognition A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 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 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 assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at balance date. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 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. 39 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 s. Employee benefits Wages and salaries,other entiltlements 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. Employee benefits payable later than one year include Statutory Long Service Leave only. 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. 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. 40 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 y. Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all potential ordinary shares, which compriseshare options issued. 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. 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: Business combination Management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of the various elements of a business combination. See Note 2(c)(iii). Exploration and evaluation assets The group’s policy is discussed in Note 2(k). 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. 41 Bounty Oil & Gas NL Annual Report - 2020 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 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. Its policy for production and development assets is discussed in Note 1(l). During the year, the group carried out annual reviews of its petroleum production, development and exploration properties. After failure to achieve a farm-out in the 2016 to 2020 period offshore permit AC/P 32 Timor Sea was relinquished and the investment was fully impaired. The reviews led to the recognition of an impairment loss of $2.9 million on AC/P32. Further commentary on impairment is included in the Directors' Report. 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. 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 Core Oil & Gas Segment Production projects Exploration projects Secondary Segment Listed securities Total from continuing operations Other revenue Central admin costs and directors remuneration Loss before tax Segment revenue Segment profit/(loss) 30-Jun-20 $ 30-Jun-19 $ 2,906,461 3,656,692 - - 30-Jun-20 $ 801,713 (2,904,523) 30-Jun-19 $ 419,828 (2,104,885) (32,009) 2,874,452 (3,466) 3,653,226 (32,009) (2,134,819) 76,921 (1,044,694) (3,102,592) (3,466) (1,688,523) 39,338 (1,133,383) (2,782,568) Segment revenue Revenue reported above represents revenue/income generated from external sources. There were no intersegment sales during the period (2019: 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 $2.90 million (2019: $3.66 million) are revenues of approximately $1.93 million (2019: $2.44 million) which arose from sales to the Group’s largest customer. The revenue from the Group’s second largest customer was approximately $0.97 million (2019: $1.22 million). No other single customer contributed 10% or more to the Groups revenue for both 2020 and 2019.

The rehabilitation of the petroleum properties is expected to be undertaken between 1 to 20 years. The discount rate used in the calculation of the provision as at 30 June 2020 was 2%, broadly equivalent to the Australian Government 10 year bond rate. Long service leave is measured at the present value of benefits accumulated upto the end of financial year. The liability is discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The measurement requires judgement to determine key assumptions used in the calculation including futures pay increases and settlement dates of employee's departure. 17.

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. The Group does not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risk and therefore is exposed to daily movements in exchange rates. However, the Group intends to maintain sufficient USD cash balances to meet its USD obligations. 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: Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and cash deposits. The Group’s 2020 trade receivables are deposits and amounts due from State government departments and major Oil & Gas companies in Australia. The Group exited the joint operations during the year and these receivables have now been adjusted against related payables, and balance fully impaired. 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. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position.

Interest in joint operations (continued) The Group’s joint operations agreements require majority consent from all parties for all relevant activities. 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. Interests in other joint operation entities Also included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2020, 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 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. Parent entity information The accounting policies of the parent entity, which have been applied in determining the financial information shown below, are same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements.
