PEP 11 Oil and Gas Permit Offshore Sydney Basin (85%) Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd (Asset), holds 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP 11, an exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin, the other 15% being held by Bounty Oil and Gas (ASX:BUY). PEP 11 is a significant offshore exploration area with large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion cubic feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs. Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km from the Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle greater metropolitan area and gas pipeline network. The offshore Sydney Basin has been lightly explored to date, including a multi-vintage 2D seismic data coverage and a single exploration well, New Seaclem-1 (2010). Its position as the only petroleum title offshore New South Wales provides a significant opportunity should natural gas be discovered in commercial quantities in this petroleum title. It lies adjacent to the Sydney-Newcastle region and the existing natural gas network servicing the east coast gas market. The total P50 Prospective Resource calculated for the PEP11 prospect inventory is 5.9 Tcf with a net 5 Tcf to Advent (85%WI). The two largest prospects in the inventory are Fish and Baleen. Advent has previously interpreted significant seismically indicated gas features in PEP11. Key indicators of hydrocarbon accumulation features have been interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data (reprocessed in 2010). The seismic features include apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones (HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) anomalies and potential flat spots. In addition, a geochemical report has provided support for a potential exploration well in PEP11. The report reviewed the hydrocarbon analysis performed on sediment samples obtained in PEP11 during 2010. The 2010 geochemical investigation utilised a proprietary commercial hydrocarbon adsorption and laboratory analysis technique to assess the levels of naturally occurring hydrocarbons in the seabed sediment samples. The report supports that the Baleen prospect appears best for hydrocarbon influence relative to background samples. In addition, the report found that the Baleen prospect appears to hold a higher probability of success than other prospects. Advent has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration within PEP11, with the mapped prospects and leads highly prospective for the discovery of gas. Advent is a strong supporter of plans for Net Zero by 2050 and sees the company playing a direct role in achieving that target, especially in New South Wales. It aims to do this in two ways. First, by finding gas closest to Australia’s biggest domestic energy market, gas which can be used to provide reliable back-up for increased uptake of renewable energy in NSW. Second, through its plans to explore for opportunities in offshore NSW for CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage (geo-sequestration of CO2 emissions), a key clean energy technology. On 16 December 2021 BPH advised ASX that the Prime Minister of Australia at that time, Scott Morrison, had announced that the Federal Government would refuse the joint venture’s applications to extend the PEP 11 Permit for gas exploration in the offshore Sydney Basin. Permit participants Advent and Bounty received official notification of refusal from the National Offshore Petroleum Title Authority (NOPTA). Advent has two applications with NOPTA for suspension and extension of the PEP11 permit. The first application was accepted as lodged in January 2020 and the second in February 2021. NOPTA has issued a notice of intention to refuse the January 2020 application which was lodged on the basis of Force Majeure. The first is the only application which is the subject of the NOPTA notice. The second application was made under a COVID application process and was accepted but not dealt with pending an outcome on the first application made in January 2020. NOPTA is seeking additional information from Advent in respect of the application. Under 1 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited the provisions of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006, the existing permit will continue until relevant decisions are made. On 30 March 2022 BPH and Bounty Oil & Gas NL (Bounty) (ASX: BUY) as the PEP 11 Joint Venture announced to ASX that they had been given notice by NOPTA that NOPTA has refused the Joint Venture Application initially submitted on 24 December 2019 for a secondary work program variation and a 24-month suspension of the Permit Year 4 Work Program Commitment and the corresponding 24-month extension of the Permit Term. Advent Energy Limited’s 100% subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd has applied to the Federal Court pursuant to section 5 of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth) and section 39B of the Judiciary Act 1903 (Cth) to review the decision of the Commonwealth-New South Wales Offshore Petroleum Joint Authority (Joint Authority), constituted under section 56 of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (Cth) (Act), to refuse to vary and suspend the conditions of Exploration Permit for Petroleum No.11 (PEP 11 Permit), pursuant to section 264(2) of the Act, and to refuse to extend the term of the PEP 11 Permit, pursuant to section 265 of the Act. The application was made in December 2019. Asset Energy Pty Ltd is a 100 % owned subsidiary of Advent Energy Ltd and has lodged the appeal as Operator for and on behalf of the PEP11 Joint Venture Partners, Bounty Oil and Gas NL (ASX:BUY) and Asset Energy Pty Ltd. On 11 August 2022 the Federal Court of Australia made discovery orders in respect of this application. The court has set a date for a hearing in March 2023. Taranaki Basin Advent’s 100% subsidiary, Aotearoa Offshore Ltd NZ (AOLNZ), has the right to acquire a 30% participating interest in Petroleum Exploration Permits (PEP) 57075, 60092 and 60093 covering an area of 5,180 km2 in the Taranaki Basin from OMV New Zealand Limited (OMV NZ). The three permits are governed by individual (but identical) Joint Venture Operating Agreements (JVOA’s) and, as such, each intersects in the same fashion with the Farm Out Agreement (FOA). The FOA covers all three permits. Mitsui E&P withdrew from the PEP 60092 and PEP 60093 JVOA’s in April 2021 with OMV NZ being assigned their 30% participating interest. Following this assignment, the joint venture for PEP 57075, 60092 and 60093 consisted of OMV NZ with a 70% participating interest and SapuraOMV Upstream (NZ) SDN BHD having a 30% participating interest (Joint Venture). In mid-2021 OMV NZ commenced a farmout process in respect of its 70% participating interest. Following engagement with OMV NZ, extensive review of their data room and significant due diligence, Advent submitted its bid in November 2021. Early in December OMV NZ formally notified Advent that its bid submission, for a 30% participating interest in the offshore Taranaki Basin petroleum exploration permits 57075, 60092 and 60093, was successful and Advent, together with AOLNZ, signed the FOA on 24th December 2021. The FOA is subject to conditions precedent covering JV, regulatory and ministerial approvals and agreement by the JV to have responsibility for future liabilities, relating to any ongoing/future exploration activities. The current JV has approved the farmout and it is expected that the remaining approvals will be in place in the near future resulting in the respective participating interests of the parties in the Joint Venture being OMV NZ 40%, SapuraOMV Upstream (NZ) SDN.BHD 30% and AOLNZ 30%. In the short term, Advent has agreed with BPH Energy Limited (BPH) that BPH provide loan funding for Advent of $3.0 million on commercial terms to make a cash payment to cover expenditure on the licences over 2022 including a loan of $800,000 to cover agreed work programme and budget expenditures for 2022 under the FOA, which means that sufficient funds for all 2022 commitments, are in place. If the FOA conditions precedent are not met the funds advanced by the group to OMV NZ will be repaid. BPH has loaned Advent a further net $1,057,000 during the year to fund current work programs and investments. The funding from BPH to Advent is unsecured and will be repaid by Advent on the terms of the loans in due course and after Advent has raised sufficient new funds. It is intended by Advent that it will undertake a capital raising in due course, which may be a placement to third parties, its existing shareholders, or possibly via a future listing, or a rights issue. It is not intended that BPH will increase its current relevant interest in Advent. The loans from BPH do not have a conversion right into shares in Advent. While BPH is not intending to increase its 2 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited shareholding or relevant interest in shares in Advent, if circumstances changed and it wished to increase its shareholding in Advent (whether it be by way of maintaining its current percentage interest in the event Advent undertook a capital raising, increasing its percentage interest, or a debt for equity conversion), BPH will need to consult with ASX regarding the application of Listing Rule 10.1.5. The FOA is considered to be a positive development for Advent and a major shareholder, BPH, as it provides a significant new project for Advent which enables it to diversify beyond its current oil and gas portfolio assets. On completion of exploration drilling in 2019/20, the focus for the Joint Venture has been on assessing the results of the Toutouwai-1 discovery whilst further maturing the prospectivity across these permits. There are positive indications that hydrocarbons are present within the Cretaceous and Palaeocene interval with potential also recognised in the shallower Miocene and early Pliocene. The following are conditions precedent of the FOA: (1) AOLNZ obtains any necessary Governmental Agency approvals; (2) OMV NZ obtains the consent of the Joint Venture to the transaction; (3) the Joint Venture has agreed and signed an amendment to the Joint Venture to enable OMV NZ to require additional security, (on terms reasonably acceptable to the farminee), from the Joint Venture parties in respect of liabilities arising out of future exploration activities; and (4) OMV NZ has obtained the approval of the Minister for Energy required under section 41 of the Crown Minerals Act. If CP’s 1 to 3 are not satisfied within 6 months of signing either party may terminate the FOA and the agreement will cease to be of any effect. The FOA was executed on 24 December 2021, meaning this 6 month period expired on 24 June 2022. No action is required or will be taken from either Advent or OMV NZ given both parties intent to proceed and have AOLNZ on permit Titles pending the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s ongoing process. Clean Carbon Transaction BPH’s shareholders have approved an investment in a hydrogen technology company, Clean Hydrogen Technologies Corporation (Clean Carbon). BPH shareholders approved this transaction at a shareholders’ meeting held on 21 June 2022. BPH and Advent (together, the Purchasers) have been assessing new investment opportunities, where there are ever increasing obligations to provide energy solutions with a responsible management and protection against carbon emissions. The transitioning from hydrocarbons such as coal and oil to hydrogen, produced with no emissions is now presenting real economies and growth globally. Although natural gas also presents continued growth and will play a role for many years to come, it too will need to become a source of energy with no CO2 emissions. At a proof-of-concept scale, Clean Carbon has developed and tested its processing capabilities which have successfully produced hydrogen, with no C02 emissions achieving on average a 92% cracking efficiency. Clean Carbon’s development activities have shown that, by processing (not burning) methane using their patented catalyst and a modified fluidised bed reactor, producing hydrogen with no CO2 emissions. This is referred to as turquoise hydrogen. In addition, Clean Carbon also produces a second product, used for battery manufacturing, called conductive carbon. Clean Carbon uses methane as its current feedstock and in the future plans to consume natural gas. It does not burn the methane, it processes it, using its own patented catalyst and a bespoke designed fluidised bed reactor. The process it uses is called pyrolysis which is not new and has been used by the oil industry for many years. What is new is Clean Carbon Technologies success in the efficiency of its cracking the methane into turquoise hydrogen with non-CO2 emissions and the quality of the carbon black produced being majority conductive carbon with some carbon nano tubes. This process requires similar energy needs as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and at scale can be produced at a similar price, in their view. Also, it requires no water as part of its process to produce hydrogen. Importantly, the Clean Carbon solution is being built with flexibility to work downstream at heavy transport fuelling hubs currently in use in the USA, mid-stream at steel plants replacing coking coal and upstream where 3 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited the natural gas is processed into hydrogen, a much higher energy source which can be piped for all uses including the production of electricity. As such the technology being developed by Clean Carbon’s solution requires very little change and impact to existing infrastructures and supply chains, unlike other solutions. Although Clean Carbon consider that electrolysis and other solutions will have their role in the future of hydrogen, they believe the majority of hydrogen will require the advancement of other technologies that can be more ubiquitous, cheaper to produce, use less electricity and operate within existing supply chains. The Purchasers entered into a binding term sheet (Term Sheet) with Clean Carbon, pursuant to which the Purchasers have agreed to subscribe for fully paid shares in Clean Carbon (Subscription Shares), representing a total of 10% of the total issued share capital of Clean Carbon after the issue of the Subscription Shares (Subscription Shares Tranche 1). In consideration for the issue of the Subscription Shares Tranche 1 the Purchaser shall pay to Clean Carbon US$1,000,000 less deposits, loans, and any accrued interest (Cash Consideration), specifically: (A) BPH shall pay to Clean Carbon (or its nominee) US$800,000; and (B) Advent shall pay to Clean Carbon (or its nominee) US$200,000, upon which, 80% of the Subscription Shares Tranche 1 shall be issued to BPH and the remaining 20% issued to Advent, with the Cash Consideration to reflect the US$464,004 relating to outstanding loans, deposits and accrued interest owing by Clean Carbon to the Purchasers, of which only $20,000 is owed to BPH. The Subscription Shares Tranche 1 issuance by Clean Carbon is under a Loan Conversion Agreement dated 25 July 2022 and followed the payment of US$535,996 by the Purchasers. Where Clean Carbon (at its sole and absolute discretion) proposes to seek additional funding for the development and operations of the Technology, on or before 31 December 2022 (Additional Funding), it must first offer the right to subscribe for additional Subscription Shares representing an additional 10% (Subscription Shares Tranche 2) to the Purchaser and on the same terms and conditions as the Subscription Shares Tranche 1. In the event that Clean Carbon secures additional investments in excess of $US3,000,000 (on or before 31 December 2022), the Right is relinquished. Subject to the above, should the Purchaser exercise the Right, it must do so within 1 month of Clean Carbon’s request for the Additional Funding. The consideration payable, being an aggregate of US$1,000,000, comprising of $US800,000 by BPH and US$200,000 by Advent (Additional Cash Consideration), subsequent to which BPH and Advent will have 16% and 4% equity interests respectively in Clean Carbon. Should Advent elect to not invest its proportion of the Additional Funding, BPH has the right to subscribe for Advent’s portion (US$200,000) of the Subscription Shares Tranche 2. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Cash Consideration and Additional Cash Consideration (if applicable), shall be used by Clean Carbon to design, build, produce and test a reactor that can produce a minimum of 3.2 and as high as 15kgs per hour of hydrogen per hour and to submit at least 2 new patents in an agreed geography, relevant to the production of hydrogen from proprietary technology. Anthony Huston has been appointed as a director to the Board of Clean Carbon Techologies Corp. Onshore Bonaparte Basin (100%) Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd (“Onshore”), holds 100% of RL 1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in northern Australia. The Bonaparte Basin is a highly prospective petroliferous basin, with significant reserves of oil and gas. Most of the basin is located offshore, covering 250,000 square kilometres, compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres onshore. In the Northern Territory, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber Gas Field, originally discovered in 1985. Advent has previously advised that the 2C Contingent Resources for the Weaber Gas Field in RL1 are 11.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas following an independent audit by RISC. Significant upside 3C Contingent Resources of 45.8 Bcf have also been assessed by RISC. 4 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord River Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects provides an exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources. Market studies have identified a current market demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power generation capacity across the Kimberley region that could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s conventional gas project RL1. The prospectivity of the Bonaparte Basin is evident from the known oil and gas fields in both the offshore and onshore portions of the basin. Advent has identified significant shale areas in RL1. EP 386 Advent’s 100% subsidiary Onshore made an application for suspension and extension of the permit conditions in EP386 which was not accepted by the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). Onshore sought a review of the decision by the Minister of Resources who responded setting out a course of action in relation to that decision which Onshore is following. Onshore lodged an appeal against this decision with the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT).The SAT determined that it did not have coverage to hear the appeal and the decision allowed for the matter to be determined through a Supreme Court of WA action. During the year Advent issued 48,086,500 shares at $0.05 for $2,404,325 cash. Cortical Dynamics Ltd (“Cortical”), BPH 17.7% Introduction Cortical is an Australian based medical device neurotechnology company that is developing BARM™, an industry leading EEG (electrical activity) brain function monitor. BARM™ is being developed to better detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity under a general operation, aiding anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally anaesthetised. The Australian manufactured and designed, electroencephalographically based (EEG- based), BARM™ system is configured to efficiently image and display complex information related to the clinically relevant state of the brain. When commercialized the BARM™ system will be offered on a stand-alone basis or integrated into leading brand operating room monitors as “plug and play” option. BARM™ has already received TGA approval, Korean MFDS approval, the CE mark and the company has now made application for its FDA approval in the USA. The BARM™ system is protected by five patent families in multiple jurisdictions worldwide consisting of 36 granted patents. Cortical will continue to drive the development of BARM™ and maintain its intellectual property. About BARM™ The BARM™ technical approach is different from other medical brain monitoring devices currently available in the market in that its underlying algorithm produces EEG indexes which are directly related to the physiological state of the patient’s brain. Such monitoring is gaining significant use during surgery, however even with the use of EEG monitors, it is not uncommon for there to be a critical imbalance between the patient’s anaesthetic requirements and the anaesthetic drugs given. To date, existing EEG based depth of anaesthesia (“D o A”) monitors operate in the context of a number of well documented limitations: (i) inability to monitor the analgesic effects; and (ii) reliably measure certain hypnotic agents. The above limitations highlight the inadequacies in current EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors, particularly given surgical anaesthesia requires both hypnotic and analgesic agents (and muscle relaxants). 5 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited BARM™ Technology and Addressable Market BARM™ is focussed not only on monitoring the inhalation methodology of anaesthesia delivery, but importantly has a very strong focus on Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) monitoring. TIVA is a method of inducing and maintaining general anaesthesia without the use of any inhalation agents and is growing in popularity not least because of its use eliminates Greenhouse gases that are a direct consequence of gaseous anaesthesia. TIVA is also a cheaper option. TIVA is becoming more widely accepted, particularly in Europe and approximately 29 million major general surgeries are conducted in the European Union each year, of which 55% (circa 16 million) are balanced anaesthesia (using a combination of intravenous agents such as propofol and volatile gases) and 20% are total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol. This creates a growing market opportunity for BARM™ of between US$83m to $229m in the European Union alone. Additionally, there is growing recognition amongst health governing bodies to recommend the use of brain monitors during operations involving general anaesthesia such as in the UK; “The use of EEG-based depth of anaesthesia monitors has been recommended in patients receiving total intravenous anaesthesia because it is cost effective and because it is not possible to measure end-tidal anaesthetic concentration in this group” (source: nice.org.uk). Additional Potential applications for BARM™ in helping mitigate or reduce Cognitive decline in the elderly after surgery and anaesthesia as a result of brain monitoring A recent editorial in International Psychogeriatrics concluded that ‘anaesthesia and surgery induce cognitive dysfunction in susceptible individuals. Susceptible people are thought to include the elderly. This is a serious problem. It was recently estimated that there are annually over 230 million procedures with general anaesthesia worldwide. There are over 880 million people > 60 years old in the world today. The latter figure is predicted to grow rapidly as life expectancy increases, particularly in developing countries. The consensus statement of the First International Workshop on Anaesthetics and Alzheimer’s Disease concluded that ‘there is sufficient evidence at multiple levels to warrant further and more definitive investigations of the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration after anesthesia and surgery’ Statistics- Summary USA 1. There are 17.8 million annual cases of anaesthesia in the over 65 age group in the USA alone 2. 14% of these experience POCD- 2.5million (post-operative cognitive decline) 3. 10% of these patients experience acceleration of cognitive decline and are admitted to aged care facilities 2 years earlier than would otherwise be the case-This equates to 250,000 people 4. At a cost/year of USD $40,000 per individual 5. At an overall increased cost of USD$ 20 billion to society The Neurotechnology Market The global brain monitoring market is on a high growth trajectory as a recent KPMG (July 2022) report outlines with Neurotechnology being recognised as a top 20 emerging “giant” growth industry in the Asia pacific Region alone. Around 312 million major surgical procedures requiring anaesthesia are undertaken every year worldwide (WHO 2012.) The pain monitoring market is valued at over US$8.6 billion per annum by 2022. (www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/pain-management-devices-market- April 2016). Potential Future applications of the technology Cortical's technology has a versatility that may go beyond depth of anaesthesia and may be applied to other EEG based markets, such as neuro-diagnostic, drug discovery, drug evaluation and the emerging Brain computer Interface (BCI) market. There are also considerable opportunities that may be offered by subsequent expansion of the company’s core technology through developing the product to carry out additional functions including neuro-diagnostics of 6 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited changes in brain and memory functions to provide early warning of degenerative diseases, pain response and tranquiliser monitoring for trauma patients in intensive care units. While the current array of bedside monitoring and imaging systems in the critical care environment has led to dramatic reductions in mortality, they do not as yet involve the continuous monitoring of brain function. This is widely acknowledged to be a major problem, as the care and management of the critically ill patient is ultimately all about the brain. The continuous monitoring of a patients’ brain state is not only necessary to diagnose and manage acute deteriorations in brain function that may have long lasting effects, but also to aid in the optimal administration of sedation and analgesia. Sedation and analgesia in the critically ill patient play a pivotal role in their care and is necessary to minimize patient distress and agitation, being essential to facilitate the utility of a wide variety of life support equipment and procedures, the most important of which is mechanical ventilation. Study after study has shown that too deep sedation increases the time on mechanical ventilation, which leads to increases in mortality, the incidence of complications and treatment costs. Given these acknowledged advantages to brain function monitoring in the ICU why then is continuous monitoring of brain function not currently available? There are two main reasons for this: 1. Firstly, the size and the complexity of configuration of most approaches to monitoring brain function are simply not capable of being adapted for use in the busy and crowded ICU environment. 2. Secondly, in those monitoring approaches that could be potentially deployed at the bedside, they depend on physiologically uncertain principles of operation that are not relevant, or meaningfully interpretable, in the context of the critically ill patient. Cortical aims to investigate these limitations by the further development and trialling BARM™ in this setting with a view to extending the functionality of bedside EEG monitoring to the objective monitoring of analgesia a measure also vital to the management of the sedated mechanically ventilated critically ill patient. In Australia between 2015 and 2016 there were approximately 149,000 admissions to ICU of which 48,000 required continuous ventilatory support (CVS) and thus required sedation, pain relief and who would have potentially benefited from such monitoring as BARM™ could provide. Recent Developments Partnership with ENCEVIS Cortical Dynamics entered into a partnership with Austrian EEG experts ENCEVIS /AIT with a view a view to further enhance the BARM™ technology. The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is Austria's largest research and technology organisation employing over 1,300 people. The Republic of Austria (through the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology) owns 50.46% of AIT, while the Federation of Austrian Industries owns the other 49.54%. ENCEVIS is a division of AIT that specialises in EEG Cortical Dynamics wins AI prestigious grant and appoints Head of Data Analytics and Project Manager In June 2022 Cortical Dynamics won a prestigious grant from the MTPConnect BMTH program. The matched funding that will help Cortical develop an AI and machine learning capacity for BARM™. Conjunctionally Cortical has appointed a world class Head of Data Analytics who will focus on developing for the company a deep understanding of sedation level monitoring systems using Artificial Intelligence including neurophysiology (EEG), machine learning, statistical analysis, anaesthesiology. Application areas will include optimal management of anaesthesia and sedatives in the operating room and the ICU. In July 2022 Cortical appointed a full-time project manager. 7 Review of Operations BPH Energy Limited Cortical Dynamics announces New USA Patent Throughout the year Cortical continued to expand its IP portfolio in the USA. Cortical has developed an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the BARM, providing critical patent protection across several key brain monitoring markets. Cortical’s competitive advantage is underpinned by a strong patent position covered by five patent families and 36 granted patents. FDA 510(K) Submission Cortical has begun the FDA 510K filing process for BARM™ in the USA assisted by Washington based technical advisors MCRA. The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is the federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services which regulates the sale of medical device products (including diagnostic tests) in the U.S. and monitors the safety of all regulated medical products. FDA approval is a necessary precursor for sales of BARM™ to commence in the USA. Molecular Discovery Systems Limited, BPH 20% Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (“MDSystems”), launched in 2006 and spun off from BPH in 2010, is an associate of BPH. MDSystems has been working with the Molecular Cancer Research Group at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to validate HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene, particularly for liver cancer. The Molecular Cancer Research Group has developed a pre-clinical model of liver cancer where the expression of HLS5 is ablated i.e. it mimics, in part, patients that have low HLS5 (TRIM35) and develop liver cancer. Research conducted at the Perkins Institute has shown that HLS5 has significant tumour suppressor properties. The Perkins findings are supported by the two independent peer reviewed scientific publications, identifying a role for HLS5 in cancer, demonstrating that the loss of HLS5 expression may be a critical event in the development and progression of liver cancer. The publications — a collaboration between Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre and other Chinese Institutes, including Shanghai Cancer Institute, Liver Cancer Institute, Second Military Medical University and Qi Dong Liver Cancer Institute —focused on identifying the role of HLS5 in liver cancer. The first article demonstrated that HLS5 binds a key enzyme involved in the production of energy for cancer cells (Pyruvate Kinase isoform M2 (PKM2)). They showed that HLS5 binds PKM2 to form a complex which inhibits the activation of PKM2. The formation of this HLS5/PKM2 complex ultimately limits the cancer cell’s means of energy production and its ability to proliferate. In the second publication the expression levels of HLS5 and PKM2 were assessed for potential use as a prognostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - (liver cancer) .The study analysed liver samples of 688 patients who had HCC. The study found that patients who were positive for PKM2 expression and negative for HLS5 expression had poorer overall survival and shorter time to recurrence. Taken together, the findings of both papers further support the research into HLS5 by MDS and the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. 8 Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited The directors of BPH Energy Ltd (”BPH Energy” or “the Company”) present their report on the Company and its controlled entities (“consolidated entity” or “Group”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.

Remuneration Report (Audited) This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of BPH Energy Limited. The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for KMP who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the companies in the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of companies in the consolidated entity. The information provided in the Remuneration Report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. Key Management Personnel The Directors of the Group during or since the end of the financial year were as follows: D L Breeze - - A Huston - C Maling Executive Chairman, Managing Director and Company Secretary Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director All have held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year unless otherwise stated. Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy of BPH Energy Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives as determined by the board and/or shareholders. The remuneration report as contained in the June 2021 financial report was adopted at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2021. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders. 12 Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:  The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.  All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits and options.  The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed with each executive and is based predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the Company. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The Company did not engage remuneration consultants during the period. The executive directors and executives which receive salaries receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 10%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology. The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The maximum pool of non-executive director fees approved by shareholders is $250,000. Payments to non-executive directors are based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required on payments to non-executive directors. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan. The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation to the shares and options provided. Employment Contracts of Directors and Senior Executives The employment conditions of the Managing Director, David Breeze, is formalised in a Product Development Agreement. The engagement is automatically extended for a period of 2 years at each anniversary date unless the Managing Director or the Company give notice of termination prior to the expiry of each term. The agreement stipulates the Managing Director may terminate the engagement with a six month notice period. The company may terminate the agreement without cause by providing six months written notice or making payment in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annual salary component together with a redundancy payment of up to twelve months of the individual’s fixed salary component. Termination payments are generally not payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct the company can terminate employment at any time. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will not lapse. 13 Directors’ Report BPH Energy Limited Key management personnel remuneration The remuneration for each key management personnel of the consolidated entity during the year was as follows: 2022 Key Management Person Short-term Benefits Post-employment Benefits D L Breeze C Maling A Huston Total Salary and fees Bonus ($) ($) Non-cash benefit ($) Other (S) 148,000 25,000 40,000 213,000 - - - - - - - - - - - - Superannuation (S) - - - - Key Management Person Long-term Benefits Share-based payment Total ($) Other ($) Shares2 Options3 - - - - - - - - - - - - D L Breeze C Maling A Huston Total 2021 ($) $ 148,000 25,000 40,000 213,000 Performance Related Compensation Relating to Securities % - - - - % - - - - Key Management Person Short-term Benefits Post-employment Benefits D L Breeze C Maling A Huston Total Salary and fees Bonus ($) ($) Non-cash benefit ($) Other (S) 148,000 25,000 30,000 203,000 - - - - - - - - - - - - Superannuation (S) - - - - Key Management Person Long-term Benefits Share-based payment Total ($) Other ($) Shares2 Options3 ($) $ D L Breeze C Maling A Huston Total - - - - 431,7221 157,4521 737,174 55,082 48,834 19,402 18,593 99,484 97,427 535,638 195,447 934,085 Performance Related Compensation Relating to Securities % - - - - % 79.9% 74.9% 69.2% 78.3% 1 These include securities issued to Grandbridge Limited, a Company of which Mr Breeze is Managing Director. 2 The issue of these shares included one free attaching option for every two shares issued with an exercise price of $0.05 per share and an expiry date of 29 July 2022. 3Given the securities were issued in settlement of debt, the accounting standards require an expense to be recognised with respect to the fair value of shares and options.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 16 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end. As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively. (ii) Changes in ownership interests Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non- controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. 24 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (b) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Tax incentives The Company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions in relation to qualifying expenditure. As the Company is not in a position to recognise current income tax payable or current tax expense, a refundable tax offset will be received in cash and recognised as rebate revenue in the period the underlying expenses have been incurred. (c) Financial Instruments Recognition and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Classification and initial measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: 25 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (c) Financial Instruments (continued) • amortised cost • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) • equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) • debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. The classification is determined by both: - - the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset, and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Subsequent measurement of financial assets (i) Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL): • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its contractual cash flows • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. (ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply. The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. (iii) Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI) Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under Equity FVOCI, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends from these investments continue to be recorded as other income within the profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital. This category includes unlisted equity securities that were previously classified as ‘available-for-sale’ under AASB 139. Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) are not recycled upon derecognition of the asset. 26 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (c) Financial Instruments (continued) (iv) Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI) Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at debt FVOCI. The Group accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions: • they are held under a business model whose objective it is to “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell financial assets; and • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset. Impairment of financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included loans and other debt- type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group considers a broad range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Level 1’) and • financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Level 2’). • ‘Level 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability- weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. Trade and other receivables and contract assets The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). 27 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (d) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Short term employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Long term employee benefits have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits using the corporate bond rate. (e) 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. (f) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (g) Revenue and Other Income Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised over time as the service is rendered. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”). (h) Goods and Services Tax 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 statement of financial position 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. (i) Trade and other payables Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 90 days. Trade and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. (j) Earnings / (loss) per share Basic earnings / (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated as net profit / loss attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings / (loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings / (loss) 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 28 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (k) Investments in Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises the Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its associates. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Where an investment is classified as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 9, at the date significant influence is achieved, the fair value of the investment needs to be assessed. Any fair value gains are recognised in accordance with the treatment the classification the financial asset as required by AASB 9. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture, or when the investment is classified as held for sale. When the a consolidated entity retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial asset, the consolidated entity measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with AASB 9. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gains or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. In addition, the consolidated entity accounts for all amounts previously recognised other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the consolidated entity reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. 29 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (l) Share-based payments The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options and the fair value of shares and options issued to consultants is measured at the fair value of services received. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statement of financial position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital. (m) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, the directors (see Note 23). (n) Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2022 In the year ended 30 June 2022, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the consolidated entity and effective for the current reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2021. The Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the other new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the consolidated entity and therefore, no material change is necessary to group accounting policies. Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted for the year ended 30 June 2022. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no material impact, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the consolidated entity and, therefore, no change is necessary to the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. 30 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 1.

Permit participants Advent and Bounty received official notification of refusal from the National Offshore Petroleum Title Authority (NOPTA). Advent has two applications with NOPTA for suspension and extension of the PEP11 permit. The first application was accepted as lodged in January 2020 and the second in February 2021. NOPTA has issued a notice of intention to refuse the January 2020 application which was lodged on the basis of Force Majeure. The first is the only application which is the subject of the NOPTA notice. The second application was made under a COVID application process and was accepted but not dealt with pending an outcome on the first application made in January 2020. NOPTA is seeking additional information from Advent in respect of the application. Under the provisions of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006, the existing permit will continue until relevant decisions are made. On 30 March 2022, BPH and Bounty Oil & Gas NL (Bounty) (ASX: BUY) as the PEP 11 Joint Venture announced to ASX that they had been given notice by NOPTA that NOPTA has refused the Joint Venture Application initially submitted on 24 December 2019 for a secondary work program variation and a 24-month suspension of the Permit Year 4 Work Program Commitment and the corresponding 24-month extension of the Permit Term.

Financial Risk Management a) Financial Risk Management The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from third parties. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for Group operations policies. The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate financial assets. The Group’s financial liabilities are currently not exposed to interest rate risk as the Group has no interest bearing financial liabilities. Liquidity risk The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. Equity price risk The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its shareholdings in publicly listed entities. Material investments are managed on an individual basis. Foreign currency risk The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. 42 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 19. Financial Risk Management (continued) b) Financial Instruments Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities with floating rates, based on contractual maturities, is as follows: 2022 Consolidated Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets Liabilities Trade and other payables Financial liabilities Weighted Effective Interest Rate % Floating Interest Rate $ Fixed Interest Rate 1 Year or less $ Fixed Interest Rate 1 to 5 Years $ Total Non- Interest Bearing $ $ 0.01 7.00 5.10 - - 2,894,998 - - 2,894,998 - - 100,352 100,352 - - 4,137,588 4,137,588 2,894,998 - 36,356 36,356 4,077,601 8,315,541 4,113,957 11,246,895 - - - - - - - - - 803,933 104,817 908,750 803,933 104,817 908,750 2021 Consolidated Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets Liabilities Trade and other payables Financial liabilities Weighted Effective Interest Rate % Floating Interest Rate $ Fixed Interest Rate 1 Year or less $ Fixed Interest Rate 1 to 5 Years $ Total Non- Interest Bearing $ $ 0.01 - - - - 10,173,322 - - 10,173,322 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10,173,322 16,287 16,287 4,264,083 4,264,083 4,280,370 14,453,692 1,030,573 104,817 1,135,390 1,030,573 104,817 1,135,390 43 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 19. Financial Risk Management (continued) b) Financial Instruments (continued) Fair Values The fair values of:  Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar securities, to their present value.  Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates of similar borrowings to their present value.  For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. The effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the variable interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows: Change in profit / (loss) — Increase in interest rate 1% — Decrease in interest rate by 0.5% Consolidated 2022 $ 2021 $ 29,238 (288) 54,533 (733) 44 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 19. Financial Risk Management (continued) b) Financial Instruments (continued) Liquidity risk The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Liquidity is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The following are the contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of consolidated financial liabilities. 30 June 2022 Financial liabilities Carrying amount $ 2 mths or less $ Total $ 2-12 mths $ Trade and other payables Unsecured loans 803,933 104,817 803,933 104,817 8,809 - 795,124 104,817 908,750 908,750 8,809 899,941 30 June 2021 Financial liabilities Carrying amount $ 2 mths or less $ Total $ 2-12 mths $ Trade and other payables 1,030,573 1,030,573 56,113 Unsecured loans 104,817 104,817 - 974,460 104,817 1,135,390 1,135,390 56,113 1,079,227 (c) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. 45 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 19. Financial Risk Management (continued) (c) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position (continued) • • • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). There were no transfers between the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include (i) for unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers. 30 June 2022 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Investments in unlisted entities Investments in listed entities - - Total 30 June 2021 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Investments in unlisted entities Investments in listed entities - - Total $ $ $ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ Total - 22,222 22,222 4,055,379 - 4,055,379 $ $ - - - $ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 4,055,379 22,222 4,077,601 $ Total - 22,222 22,222 3,685,379 - 3,685,379 - - - 3,685,379 22,222 3,707,601 Reconciliation of fair value measurements of financial assets: Opening balance Acquisition of investments Closing balance Opening balance Acquisition of investments Closing balance 2022 ($) 2022 ($) 2022 ($) Level 1 22,222 - 22,222 Level 2 3,685,379 370,000 4,055,379 Level 3 - - - 2021 ($) 2021 ($) 2021 ($) Level 1 22,222 - 22,222 Level 2 3,455,379 230,000 3,685,379 Level 3 - - - 46 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022 BPH Energy Limited 20.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the consolidated entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter - Material uncertainty related to the carrying value of the loan receivable from, and investment in, Advent Energy Limited We draw attention to Note 10 in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists in relation to the Group’s ability to realise the carrying value of its loan receivable from, and investment in, Advent Energy Limited in the ordinary course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 51 Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Investments accounted for using equity method Note 10 As at 30 June 2022, the carrying value of the investments accounted for using the equity method was $3,941,702 and the consolidated entity’s share of the associates’ losses net of impairment reversal was $388,521. Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following; - We agreed the share of losses to the associates’ audited financial statements; We considered this to be a key audit matter as it is important to users’ understanding of the financial statements as a whole and involved significant levels of judgement. Valuation of financial assets Note 9 As at 30 June 2022, the consolidated entity had recorded financial assets comprising loan receivables with a carrying value of $4,237,940 and investments at a fair value of $4,077,601. We considered this to be a key audit matter as it is important to users’ understanding of the financial statements as a whole and involves judgement in relation to the determination of fair value and expected credit losses. - We reviewed the disclosures made in the financial statements; - We considered if there were indicators of impairment present; and - We included an emphasis of matter paragraph above in relation to recoverability of the investment in, and loan receivable from, Advent Energy Limited. Our procedures included but were not limited to the following: - We considered the ability of the other party to repay its loan to the consolidated entity to determine if any additional expected credit loss provisions were required; - We assessed the consolidated entity’s valuation of individual investment holdings; - For investments where there was less or little observable market data, including level 2 holdings as disclosed in note 19, we obtained and assessed other relevant valuation data; and - We reviewed the disclosures made in the financial statements. 52 Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: − Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. − Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal control. − Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. − Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a 53 going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. − Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of BPH Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
