NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The  Group’s  principal  activities  during  the  year  were  the  exploration  and  appraisal  of,  and 
development and production of, oil and gas.  

OPERATING RESULT 

The  after-tax  loss  for  the  Group  for  the  financial  year  ended  to  31  December  2017  amounted  to 
$1,095,551 (2016: $409,994).  

DIVIDENDS 

There were no dividends paid or recommended during or subsequent to the financial year ended 31 
December 2017 (2016: Nil). 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

During the year the Company continued to pursue a strategy aimed at building value per share by 
leveraging the expertise, experience and contacts of the Board and its partner  and manager of US 
operations Black Mesa Production LLC (Black Mesa).  

As previously announced, the Black Mesa team has identified an opportunity to secure a position in 
the world-class Anadarko Basin Plays (STACK and SCOOP) in Oklahoma.  The Company is continuing 
to capitalise on a short window in which to build a material premier asset position in this high-margin 
repeatable play.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

STACK Drilling & Completion Activity 

During  the  12  month  period  ending  31  December  2017,  the  level  of  activity  within  the  Company’s 
Anadarko  Basin  play  holdings  continued  to  increase.  BRK  Oklahoma  is  now  participating  in  twenty 
seven  wells  (twenty  five  non-operated  Working  Interest  wells  and  two  Mineral  Royalty  wells).  These 
wells are at various stages of development (from drilled and completed, drilling ahead, set to spud to 
permitted) (see table 1. below). To date, drilling and completion costs have been funded externally, 
from the US$3.5 million available under the Drilling Joint Venture facility.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Table 1. – BRK Oklahoma STACK Well Summary  

Note: Working Interest percentages may increase subject the issue of final pooling orders. 

During the period excellent initial production rates continued to flow from the Company’s non-operated 
Working Interest and Mineral Royalty wells. These results further confirmed the quality  of  the  acreage 
that  Brookside  has  been  able  to  secure  within  the  Anadarko  Basin  plays  in  Oklahoma. Two of the 
Company’s recently completed non-operated Working Interest wells,  the Marathon Oil, Co. (NYSE: 
MRO) operated Landreth BIA and HR Potter wells have delivered  30-day average production rates 
(IP30) above the Marathon 1,525,000 BOE Type Curve for this  part of the STACK Play. 

Additional  highly  encouraging  production  results  were  recorded  on  the  next  two  non-operated 
Working Interest wells, with these two wells achieving rates in excess of 2,100 BOE/day during  flow 
back. Importantly, these were higher impact wells for Brookside with the Company holding  a 13.6% 
and 3.1% Working Interest respectively. 

STACK Leasing Program 

BRK Oklahoma announced a significant expansion of its leasing activity during 2017. BRK Oklahoma, 
together with its partner and manager of US operations Black Mesa Production, LLC (Black Mesa), 
extended  its  leasing  and  acquisition  activities  across  the  liquids-rich  fairways  of  the  Anadarko 
Basin in Oklahoma.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Figure 1. Anadarko Basin Plays 

During the period, Brookside’s  continuing efforts delivered further success with the Company’s Working 
Interest  leasehold  acreage  count  reaching  1,700  acres,  a  30%  increase  on  the  previously 
announced initial target of 1,280 leasehold acres. 

This  increase  in  holdings is  all  located within  Brookside’s  leasing  focus  areas.  The  increase  was 
achieved  in  a  highly  competitive  environment  and  importantly  our  team  has  maintained  its 
disciplined  approach,  exclusively  targeting  acreage  in  the  up-dip  liquids  rich  ‘core’  along  the 
Anadarko Basin margin. 

At  the  end  of  the  period,  the  Company’s  total  Anadarko  Basin  holdings  stood  at  approximately 
1,800 acres  (inclusive  of the previously announced RA Minerals Royalty  Acreage which  is  currently 
being developed by  NYSE  listed  independent,  Continental  Resources, Inc.). 

Undeveloped  acreage  values  continued  to  rise  over 2017  as  these  world-class  plays  continue  to 
mature. Analysis of the estimated US$8.0 billion in merger and acquisition activity  that  occurred  in 
the  Anadarko  Basin  Plays  over  the  last  two  years  showed  undeveloped  acreage trading at a 
weighted average of >US$16,000 per acre. 

In  addition,  the  Company  announced  during  the  period  that  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary, 
Anadarko  Leasing, LLC  (Anadarko  Leasing)  had  reached  agreement  with  Tulsa  based  Oklahoma 
Energy  Consultants,  Inc.  (OEC)  to  increase  the  Anadarko  Leasing  Facility  (Facility) 
limit  to  US$3.0 
million.  All  other  terms  of  the  Facility  (outlined  in  our  ASX  release  dated  21  June  2017)  remained 
unchanged. 

This additional asset level funding will enable Brookside, together with its partner and manager  of US 
operations Black Mesa Production, LLC (Black Mesa), to continue to aggressively pursue  its  leasing 
and  acquisition  activities  across  the  liquids-rich  fairways  of  the  Anadarko  Basin  in  Oklahoma.  

As previously flagged, the leasing campaign is ongoing and additional core acreage is expected to 
be acquired during calendar 2018.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD 

Post the end of the December Quarter, the Company announced results from the three most recent 
non-operated  Working  Interest  wells.  These  wells  are  located  within  the  Company’s  Blaine  County 
focus area. All three wells achieved IP24’s above 2,000 BOE/day (~33% oil), with one well achieving a 
Company record ~3,500 BOE/day.  

The Company’s average Working Interest in these wells is ~5.7%, at the upper end of the Company 
average  Working  Interest  secured  to  date.  All  three  of  these  well  support  (subject  to  continued 
performance in- line with the Company’s type curve) EUR’s well above the Company’s 1,039 Mboe 
estimate for this part of the basin. 

On  March  7,  2018  the  Company  announced  that  it  had  increased  its  Working  Interest  leasehold 
acreage to approximately 2,000 acres, a 17% increase in less than two-months. The Company’s total 
Anadarko  Basin  holdings  now  stand  at  approximately  2,100  acres  (inclusive  of  the  previously 
announced  RA  Minerals  Royalty  Acreage  which  is  currently  being  developed  by  NYSE  listed 
independent, Continental Resources, Inc.). 

On  March  16,  2018  the  company  also  announced  an  increase  in  the  Anadarko  Leasing  facility 
provided by Oklahoma Energy Consultants (OEC) from US$3.0m to US$4.0m.  

The Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance that has arisen since 31 December 
2017 which significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results 
of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

B.  

REMUNERATION POLICY DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD 

The Brookside Board is committed to transparent disclosure of its remuneration strategy and this report 
details  the  Company’s  remuneration  objectives,  practices  and  outcomes  for  KMP,  which  includes 
Directors  and  senior  executives,  for  the  period  ended  31  December  2017.  Any  reference  to 
“Executives” in this report refers to KMPs who are not Non-Executive Directors. 

B.1  

Remuneration Policy Framework 

The  key  objective  of  Brookside’s  remuneration  policy  is  to  be  a  key  enabler  for  the  Company  in 
achieving its strategic goal of continuing to build a successful oil and gas exploration and production 
company.  It  has  been  designed  to  reward  executives  and  employees  fairly  and  responsibly  in 
accordance  with  the  regional  and  international  market  in  which  the  Company  operates,  and  to 
ensure that Brookside: 

  Provides competitive rewards that attract, retain and motivate executives and employees of 
the highest calibre, who can successfully deliver, particularly as the Company moves through 
the current phase of rapidly increased development and production; 
Sets demanding levels of expected performance that have a clear linkage to an executive’s 
remuneration; 

 

  Benchmarks  remuneration  against  appropriate  comparator  peer  groups  to  make  the 
Company competitive in a tight skilled human resources market, through an offering of both 
short and long term incentives and competitive base salaries.; 

  Provides a level of remuneration structure to reflect each executive’s respective duties and 

responsibilities; 

  Aligns executive incentive rewards with the creation of value for shareholders; 
  Complies with legal requirements and appropriate standards of governance. 

B.2  

Policy for Executive Remuneration for Future Reporting Periods 

Executive Remuneration consists of the following key elements: 

Fixed remuneration or base salaries; and 

 
  Variable remuneration, being the “at risk” component related to performance comprising; 

o  Short Term Incentives (STI); and 
o 
Long Term Incentive (LTI). 

C.  

REMUNERATION COMPONENTS 

C.1  

Fixed Remuneration 

Fixed  remuneration  was  reviewed  by  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  in  2013  and 
remained consistent for the current reporting period. 

C.2  

STI Plan for the 2017 Reporting Period 

Due  to  the  strategic  review  conducted  during  2015,  no  STI  plan  was  implemented  for  the  2017 
reporting period.

C.3  

Policy for and Components of Non-Executive Remuneration During the Reporting Period 

Remuneration Policy 

Non-Executive Director Fees 

The overall level of annual Non-Executive Director fees was approved by shareholders in accordance 
with  the  requirements  of  the  Company’s  Constitution  and  the  Corporations  Act.  The  maximum 
aggregate Directors’ fees payable to all of the Company’s Non-Executive Directors is $500,000 per 
annum. This aggregate amount was approved by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting.  

Equity Compensation 

In accordance with Australian practice and shareholder preference, the Company’s current policy is 
not  to  grant  equity  based  compensation  to  Non-Executive  Directors.  Accordingly,  no  equity 
components  (LTI  Rights)  were  offered  to  Non-Executive  Directors  in  the  reporting  period  to  31 
December 2017.  

Remuneration Structure 

Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed remuneration of base fees plus statutory superannuation. In 
addition, and in recognition of the higher workloads and extra responsibilities of participating on a 
Board committee, if applicable, they also received a committee fee and chairing a committee also 
warrants a higher fee.  In addition to these fees, Non-Executive Directors are entitled to reimbursement 
of  reasonable  travel,  accommodation  and  other  expenses  incurred  in  attending  meetings  of  the 
Board, committee or shareholder meetings whilst engaged by Brookside. Non-Executive Directors do 
not earn retirement benefits other than superannuation and are not entitled to any compensation on 
termination of their directorships.

For the year ended 31 December 2017

1. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

1.A. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law. 

The  financial  statements  comprise  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  Group.  For  the 
purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. 

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented 
unless  otherwise  stated.  The  financial  statements  are  for  the  Group  consisting  of  Brookside  Energy 
Limited and its subsidiaries. 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.  Historical cost is based on the 
fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. 

The Company is an ASX listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia 
and USA. The entity’s principal activities are mineral exploration.   

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

1.A.1.  Functional and Presentation Currency 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars (AUD$), which is the Group’s 
presentation currency unless otherwise stated. 

1.A.2.  Accounting Policies 

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this consolidated 
financial report as were applied in the 31 December 2016  financial statements.     

1.A.3.  Going Concern 

The Group incurred a loss of $1,095,551 for the year ended 31 December 2017. In addition, the Group 
has working capital deficiency of $295,720.  Cash and cash equivalents at the year-end amounted to 
$51,854. 

The ability of the company and consolidated entity to continue as going concerns is dependent on 
a combination of a number of factors, the most significant of which is the ability of the company to 
raise additional funds in the following 12 months through issuing additional shares and/or, to secure 
further financing facilities or extend the current financing facilities in place. 

These  factors  indicate  a  material  uncertainty  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  as  to  whether  the 
company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and therefore whether they will 
realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts 
stated in the financial report.

1.B. 

ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS 

1.B.1. 

 Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards 

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2017 
In  the  year  ended  31  December  2017,  the  Directors  have  reviewed  all  of  the  new  and  revised 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for 
the  current  annual  reporting  period.    As  a  result  of  this  review,  the  Directors  have  determined  that 
there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its 
business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. 

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted 
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are 
not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2017. As a result of this review, the Directors have 
determined  that  there  is  no  impact,  material  or  otherwise,  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and 
Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies. 

In  the  year  ended  31  December  2017,  the  Directors  have  reviewed  all  of  the  new  and  revised 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for 
the  current  annual  reporting  period.    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 Company 
and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies. 

1.C. 

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE 

The general purpose consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2017 were 
approved and authorised for issue on 29 March 2018. 

The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  which  include  Australian 
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that 
the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).   

1.D. 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Brookside Energy Limited 
and  its  subsidiaries  as  at  31  December  each  year  (the  Group).  Control  is  achieved  where  the 
company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain 
benefits from its activities. 

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
company, using consistent accounting policies.  Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost 
in the parent entity’s financial statements. 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  all  intercompany  balances  and  transactions, 
income  and  expenses  and  profit  and  losses  resulting  from  intra-group  transactions  have  been 
eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred  to 
the  Group  and  cease  to  be  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  out  of  the 
Group.  Control  exists  where  the  company  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating 
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The 
purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair 
value  of  the  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  at  the  date  of 
acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for 
the period from their acquisition.

1.E. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

The  application  of  accounting  policies  requires  the  use  of  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions 
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are 
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

Exploration and evaluation expenditure: 
The  Directors  have  conducted  a  review  of  the  Group’s  capitalised  exploration  expenditure  to 
determine the existence of any indicators of impairment.  Based upon this review, the Directors have 
determined that no impairment exists. 

Share-based payment transactions: 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by 
an external valuer using a Black and Scholes model, using assumptions provided by the Company. 

The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting. 

1.F.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 

Both the functional and presentation currency of Brookside Energy Limited is Australian dollars.  Each 
entity  in  the  Group  determines  its  own  functional  currency  and  items  included  in  the  financial 
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. 

Transactions  in  foreign  currencies  are  initially  recorded  in  the  functional  currency  by  applying  the 
exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in 
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date. 

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial statements are taken to profit or loss with the 
exception  of  differences  on  foreign  currency  borrowings  that  provide  a  hedge  against  a  net 
investment in a foreign entity.  These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, 
at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. 

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised 
in equity.  Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. 

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange 
rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities 
carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. 

The functional currency of the foreign operations, BRK Oklahoma Holdings LLC and Anadarko Leasing 
LLC is US dollars, “USD”. 

1.G. 

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS 

The  Group  assesses  at  each  balance  date  whether  a  financial  asset  or  group  of  financial  assets  is 
impaired. 

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost 

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised 
cost  has  been  incurred,  the  amount  of  the  loss  is  measured  as  the  difference  between the  asset’s

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
For the year ended 31 December 2017

carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses 
that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the 
effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is  reduced 
either directly or through use of an allowance account. 

The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets 
that  are  individually  significant,  and  individually  or  collectively  for  financial  assets  that  are  not 
individually  significant.  If  it  is  determined  that  no  objective  evidence  of  impairment  exists  for  an 
individually  assessed  financial  asset,  whether  significant  or  not,  the  asset  is  included  in  a  group  of 
financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively 
assessed  for  impairment.  Assets  that  are  individually  assessed  for  impairment  and  for  which  an 
impairment  loss  is  or  continues  to  be  recognised  are  not  included  in  a  collective  assessment  of 
impairment. 

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be 
related  objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  was  recognised,  the  previously 
recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in 
profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at 
the reversal date.

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.  Amounts disclosed as 
revenue  are  net  of  returns,  trade  allowances,  rebates  and  amounts  collected  on  behalf  of  third 
parties. 

Interest income 
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits 
will  flow  to  the  Group  and  the  amount  of  revenue  can  be  reliably  measured.  Interest  income  is 
accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate 
applicable,  which  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated  future  cash  receipts  through  the 
expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: 

(a) 

the  company  derives  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  of  an  amount  sufficient  to 
enable the benefits to be utilised; 

(b) 

the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and  

(c)  no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the company in utilising the benefits. 

(i) - the corporate tax rate for eligible companies will reduce from 30% to 25% by 30 June 2027 providing certain 
turnover thresholds and other criteria are met. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at 
the tax rate that is expected to apply in the future income year when the asset is realised or the liability is 
settled. The Directors have determined that the deferred tax balances be measured at the tax rates stated.  

Current  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  the  current  and  prior  periods  are  measured  at  the  amount 
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to 
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position 
date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting 
purposes. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of 
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be 
available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax 
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: 

• 

• 

when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference 
arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the  transaction,  affects  neither  the 
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 
when  the  deductible  temporary  difference 
is  associated  with  investments  in 
subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset 
is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will 
reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the 
temporary difference can be utilised.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
For the year ended 31 December 2017

3. 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued) 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or 
part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised 
to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset 
to be recovered. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to 
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have 
been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date. 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit 
or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set 
off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to 
the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. 

Other taxes  
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

• 

• 

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from 
the  taxation  authority,  in  which  case  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and 
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of 
cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.  

Commitments  and  contingencies  are  disclosed  net  of  the  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or 
payable to, the taxation authority.

1. In accordance with the STACK-A Joint Venture agreement, the company issued 75,000,000 listed 
options at $0.02, exercisable on or before 31 December 2018. 

The  recoupment  of  costs  carried  forward  in  relation  to  areas  of  interest  in  the  exploration  and 
evaluation  phases  are  dependent  on the  successful  development  and  commercial  exploitation or 
sale of the respective areas. 

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 development and 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 balance 
date  reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or 
otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, 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,  studies,  exploratory  drilling,  trenching  and  sampling  and  associated  activities  and  an 
allocation  of  depreciation  and  amortised  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.

7.       EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION (continued) 

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 (for 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 has been 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 
reclassified to development.

(i)  On 1 June 2017, Anadarko Leasing LLC (wholly owned subsidiary) entered into a Drawdown Facility 

with Oklahoma Energy Consultants. 

Terms of the Drawdown Facility are as follows:

Terms(iii) 

1 June 2017 
(Amended 22 
December 
2017) 

US$3,000,000 
(increase from 
$2,000,000 on 
22 December 
2017) 

Facility  is  due  for  repayment  on  the  20  June 
2019.   Facility shall bear interest at a rate per 
annum of 12%, payable quarterly in arrears on 
drawdown amounts. 
Facility will be secured by the Borrowers interest 
in  Working  Interest  leasehold  acreage  that  is 
acquired  by  the  Borrower  pursuant  to  and 
subject  to  the  terms  of  the  Drilling  Program 
Agreement  between  the  Borrower  and  Black 
Mesa Production, LLC. 

As  at  31  December  2017,  total  of  A$2,445,002  (US$1,919,386)  has  been  drawdown.  Included  in  the 
profit and loss is $105,969 accrued interest expense for the period. 

(ii)  During  the  year,  the  Company  repaid  the  loan  with  Cicero  Advisory  Services  in  the  amount  of 

$200,000 plus borrowing fees of $10,500. 

(iii)  On 16 March 2018, the terms of the facility agreement were amended.  Refer Note 22. 

Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.    Borrowings  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost.  Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
costs)  and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  over  the  period  of  the  borrowings 
using the effective interest method.  Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised 
as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be 
drawn down.  In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs.  To the extent there is no 
evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised 
as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

8.B.      BORROWINGS (continued) 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the 
contract  is  discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.    The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  a 
financial  liability  that  has  been  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  consideration 
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as 
other income or finance costs.   

Borrowings  are  classified  as  current  liabilities  unless  the  Group  has  an  unconditional  right  to  defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 

Derecognition of financial liabilities 
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 a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, 
and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Brookside Energy Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the oil and gas industry in the 
USA. 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed 
and  used  by  the  Board  of  Directors  in  assessing  performance  and  determining  the  allocation  of 
resources. 

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of its oil and gas interests in the USA and its corporate 
activities in Australia. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. 

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments 
are considered to have similar economic characteristics. 

Types of reportable segments 

(i)  Oil and gas exploration: Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses and 

all expenses related to the projects in the USA are reported on in this segment. 

(ii)  Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX 
listed entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial 
assets are reported in this segment.

SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued) 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker 
with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are 
consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. 

Segment assets 

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives 
the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly 
identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. 

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have 
not been allocated to operating segments. 

Segment liabilities 

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct link between the incurrence of the liability 
and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to 
the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

• 
• 

• 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; 
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary 
shares that have been recognised as expenses; and 
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would 
result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus 
element.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, currency risk and interest 
rate risk.  

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. 

The  Board  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk  management 
framework.  The  Board  reviews  and  agrees  policies  for  managing  each  of  these  risks  and  they  are 
summarised below. 

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose 
of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The 
Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors, creditors and borrowings which arise 
directly from its operations. 

Market Risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and 
equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to 
monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the 
liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return.  The Group does not have short or long term debt, 
and therefore this risk is minimal. 

Currency Risk 
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a 
currency that is not he functional currency of the Group. The Group deposits are denominated in both 
US  and  Australian  dollars.  At  the  year  end  the  majority  of  deposits  were  held  in  Australian  dollars. 
Currently, there are no foreign exchange programs in place. The Group treasury function manages 
the purchase of foreign currency to meet operational and budgetary requirements.  The impact of 
reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group is not material.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

Interest Rate Risk 
The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a 
fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other 
financial instruments. As such, the amounts might not reconcile to the statement of financial position. 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis 
At 31 December 2017, if interest rates had been 2% higher or lower than the prevailing rates realised, 
with all other variables held constant, the effect on loss and equity as a result of interest rates changes 
would be as follows: 

Change in loss 
Increase in interest rate by 2%:

Decrease in interest rate by 2%:

Credit Risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in 
financial  loss  to  the  Group.  The  Group  has  adopted  the  policy  of  only  dealing  with  creditworthy 
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of 
mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. 

The  Group  operates  in  the  energy  exploration  and  production  sector;  it  therefore  does  not  supply 
products and have trade receivables and is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. 
The  Group  does  not  have  any  significant  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  counterparty  or  any 
Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

The  Group’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  each  balance  date  in  relation  to  each  class  of 
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts, of those 
assets  as  indicated  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  The  maximum  credit  risk  exposure  of  the 
Group at 31 December 2017 is Nil (2016: Nil). There are no impaired receivables at 31 December 2017 
(2016: Nil). 

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have 
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without 
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. 

The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  forecast  cash  flows  on  a  rolling  monthly  basis.  The 
Group does not have any significant liquidity risk as the Group does not have any collateral debts. 

Capital Management 

The  Group’s  objectives  when  managing  capital  are  to  safeguard  its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern, so it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Accordingly, the objective of the Group’s capital risk management is to balance the current working 
capital position against the requirements to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. 
This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with 
a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.  

The directors consider that the carrying value of the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised 
in the consolidated financial statement approximate their fair value. 

18.B. 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are 
grouped into three levels of the following fair value measurement hierarchy in accordance with AASB 
7 Financial Instruments:  

Disclosures 

 
 

 

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset 
or liability, either directly or indirectly; 
Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS 

The following share-based payment arrangements were entered into during the period: 

The fair value of the unlisted equity-settled options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using 
the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were 
granted. Listed options are valued using VWAP as at the prevailing share price on the date of grant.

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise 
patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is 
indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features 
of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value. 

No share options were exercised during the year. 

Included  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  is  $179,991  which  relates  to  equity  settled  share-based 
payment transactions which have been brought to account in the year.  

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an 
external valuer using a Black-Scholes model, using assumptions provided by the Company. 

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than 
conditions linked to the price of the shares of Brookside Energy Ltd (market conditions), if applicable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20. 

SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS (continued) 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, 
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date 
on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting 
date reflects:  

(i) 
(ii) 

the extent to which the vesting period has expired and  
the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. 

No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect 
of  these  conditions  is  included  in  the  determination  of  fair  value  at  grant  date.  The  statement  of 
comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense 
recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is 
only conditional upon a market condition. 

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the 
terms  had  not  been  modified.  In  addition,  an  expense  is  recognised  for  any  modification  that 
increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to 
the employee, as measured at the date of modification. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and 
any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is 
substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is 
granted,  the  cancelled  and  new  award  are  treated  as  if  they  were  a  modification  of  the  original 
award, as described in the previous paragraph. 

The  dilutive  effect,  if  any,  of  outstanding  options  is  reflected  as  additional  share  dilution  in  the 
computation of earnings per share . Refer Note 15.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

Post the end of the December Quarter, the Company announced results from the three most recent 
non-operated  Working  Interest  wells.  These  wells  are  located  within  the  Company’s  Blaine  County 
focus area. All three wells achieved IP24’s above 2,000 BOE/day (~33% oil), with one well achieving a 
Company record ~3,500 BOE/day.  

The Company’s average Working Interest in these wells is ~5.7%, at the upper end of the Company 
average  Working  Interest  secured  to  date.  All  three  of  these  well  support  (subject  to  continued 
performance in- line with the Company’s type curve) EUR’s well above the Company’s 1,039 Mboe 
estimate for this part of the basin. 

On  March  7,  2018  the  Company  announced  that  it  had  increased  its  Working  Interest  leasehold 
acreage to approximately 2,000 acres, a 17% increase in less than two-months. The Company’s total 
Anadarko  Basin  holdings  now  stand  at  approximately  2,100  acres  (inclusive  of  the  previously 
announced  RA  Minerals  Royalty  Acreage  which  is  currently  being  developed  by  NYSE  listed 
independent, Continental Resources, Inc.). 

On  March  16,  2018  the  company  also  announced  an  increase  in  the  Anadarko  Leasing  facility 
provided by Oklahoma Energy Consultants (OEC) from US$3.0m to US$4.0m.  

The Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance that has arisen since 31 December

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT  
To the members of Brookside Energy Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of  Brookside Energy  Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled 
entities  (“the  Group”),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  31 
December  2017,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 
policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including:  

a) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of their 
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  Group  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.  

Material uncertainty regarding going concern  

We  draw  attention  to  Note  1.A.3  in  the  financial  report,  which  indicates  the  existence  of  a  material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our 
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

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.  In  addition  to  the  matter  described  in  the  Material  Uncertainty 
Related  to Going paragraph above,  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 – R. A Minerals Royalty (Note 7) 

The carrying value of the Royalty acquisition 
costs amounted to $1,115,388 at year end. 

The royalties’ rights  were  a key audit matter 
due  to  size  of  the  balance  and  the  level  of 
estimation required in relation to future cash 
flows.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

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 Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017, 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group’s internal control.  
Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

 

 

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  Group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a 
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 Group 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  in  pages  11  to  15  of  the  directors’  report  for  the 
year ended 31 December 2017.   

In our opinion, the remuneration report of Brookside Energy Limited for the year ended 31 December 
2017 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.
