ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholder 

We are pleased to present the annual report to shareholders this year as Eon NRG continues to build 

its US based oil and gas business and positions itself to deliver on a strong development program in 
the coming years.  The last 12 months have been a successful period with the acquisition of a large 
15,000  acre  lease  holding  in  the  Powder  River  Basin, Wyoming,  and  definition  of  a  number  of  high 
impact  and  high  probability  oil  wells  for  drilling  in  2019  and  beyond.    This  added  to  Eon’s  existing 
production base of circa 530 boepd from producing oilfields in Wyoming and California. 

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholder 

There were definite signs of a return of confidence in the energy sector in 2018 with an improvement in 
oil prices and a significant increase in drilling and M&A activity in the industry seen throughout North 
America.  Numerous improvements in drilling techniques and equipment have evolved in recent times 
which has resulted in, for example, quicker drilling rates leading to cheaper and more economic wells.

production base of circa 530 boepd from producing oilfields in Wyoming and California. 

The USA oil services industry is competitive and numerous operators, including many in the Powder 
River  Basin,  also  enable  efficient  infrastructure  establishment  once  a  well  is  tested  and  confirmed 
successful and economic.

America.  Numerous improvements in drilling techniques and equipment have evolved in recent times 
which has resulted in, for example, quicker drilling rates leading to cheaper and more economic wells.  

Eon completed a capital raising in March 2019 which will provide working capital to support drilling the 
first Powder River Basin well.  Continued tight cost control to maximise funds for drilling and growth 
opportunities was and remains a key mandate for management.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank our management, staff, contractors and consultants for their 
diligent  work  during  2018  and  look  forward  to  Eon's  continued  growth  in  2019  and  beyond.    We 
appreciate the continued support of our shareholders and look forward to drilling successful wells in the 
years ahead.

Powder River Basin Exploration Leases, Wyoming

In September 2018, Eon announced that it had acquired approximately 15,000 acres of leases in the
Powder River Basin (PRB), Wyoming.  The PRB has a long history of oil and gas production from
multi-stacked pay zones. The large undeveloped acreage positions allows for long term growth in a
prolific hydrocarbon filled basin. The PRB area has numerous oilfield contractors for drilling and other
services and the state of Wyoming is an oil and gas friendly state which makes this region a good
area to operate in.

The leases were purchased from the United States Department of Interior with 10-year lease terms
and a net revenue interest of 87.5% (12.5% royalty rate).  There are no drilling commitments required
to hold the leases and the annual lease cost to hold the acreage before drilling is $1.50 per acre for
the  first  five  years  and  $2.00  per  acre  thereafter.    A  further  640  acres  were  purchased  from  the
Wyoming  State  Land  Board  in  Converse  County  which  has  a  5-year  lease  term.    Further  land
acquisition opportunities are being considered to expand the potential acreage position around the
current holdings.

In 2018, the Company set about identifying potential drill prospects in its PRB acreage targeting oil
from multiple formations including the Turner, Dakota, Minnelusa and Muddy.  Some of the leases
that were acquired by Eon are surrounded by developed oilfields which have long production history.
The prolific production rates from these fields along with improved drilling and completion technology
delivers strong well economics for potential wells within Eon’s leases.

In March 2019, the Company announced the commencement of the permitting of its first new well,
the Govt Kaehne #9-29.  This well is planned to be drilled in 2019.

Multiple other drilling targets have been identified in the lease acreage which will build a pipeline for
drilling opportunities beyond 2019.

Battery Minerals Division

Eon established a battery minerals division in 2018 with a long term strategic view that global energy

demands will require a range of new technologies and energy supply and storage solutions in the

future.

In March and April 2018, Eon announced that it had secured rights over 42 lode claims covering 840

acres of land in the Stillwater Range, Nevada, which was seen as having exploration potential for a

range of battery minerals including cobalt and copper.  The claims cover a number of historic mine

workings and adits are within 3 miles of the Lovelock Mine which has a history of producing high

grade cobalt.  Recently, Global Energy Metals Corp (TSXV: GEMC) announced that it has signed an

agreement to acquire an 85% interest in the Lovelock and Treasure Box exploration projects and it

will spend US$1 million in exploration within the next three years.

Eon will continue with low cost exploration activities on its Nevada prospects.

Corporate Activities

The  Company  changed  its  name  to  Eon  NRG  Ltd  in  February  2018  in  line  with  the  Company’s

approach  to  driving  value  through  a  more  aggressive  discovery  program  to  transition  it  to  a

development  focused  exploration  and  production  company.    Identification  of  onshore  oil  and  gas

discovery opportunities which represent value accretion through drilling new wells became a focus

of  management’s  efforts  for  2018.    Numerous  opportunities  were  identified,  and  the  Company

finalised the acquisition of leases in the Powder River Basin in September 2018.

The  Group’s  debt  facility  remains  in  place  with  ANB  Bank  and  all  repayment  obligations  and

covenants have been met.  $0.31 million of debt was repaid in 2018 with the total debt to ANB Bank

as at 31 December 2018 was $6.11 million.  The revolving line of credit facility will mature on July 1,

2019.  This line of credit has been in place with ANB Bank since 2015 and renewed on two occasions

since it was established.  Under the terms of the loan and subject to bank approval, the current facility

will be rolled over to a new facility before it’s maturity date.  The Board has no reason to believe that

the loan facility will not be renewed on expiry of the current term.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The  significant  movements  in  the  Statement  of  financial  position  have  resulted  from  reclassifying  the

California  oilfields,  that  were  shown  as  held  for  sale  at  the  end  of  2017,  to  non-current assets  and  the

reclassification  of  the  remaining  bank  debt  from  non-current  to  current  liabilities.    A  summary  of  the

statement of financial position items is as follows:





Total cash held by the Group at the end of 2018 was $1,175,606 (2017 - $1,218,220).  Of this cash,

$676,434 is held as a security deposit for environmental bonds associated with the Silvertip and Borie

Fields.  The cash held as a security deposit is classified as a non-current financial asset.

Current liabilities exceed current assets because of the reclassification of the ANB loan ($6,112,170)

to a current liability due its maturity being within 12 months from the reporting date.  The Group will

seek to renew the loan for a new term of at least 12 months before the July 1, 2019 maturity date.

This  loan  is  secured  by  non-current  assets,  namely  oil  properties  and  associated  plant  and

equipment.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | 

The California oilfields of Sheep Springs and Round Mountain were classified as assets held for sale
(current assets) as at 31 December 2017.  In May 2018, these assets were withdrawn from sale and
returned to non-current assets at their fair market value.  While these assets were classified as assets
held  for  sale,  they  were  not  amortised.    On  reclassifying  them  to  non-current  oil  properties,  the
unrecognised amortisation relating to the period that they were held as current assets was recognised
and expensed in the profit and loss.

Eon recorded a net loss after tax of $1,426,435 in 2018 (2017 - profit of $582,778).  The major drivers of 
this result were: 







Net revenue from sales increased by 21% from 2017 to 2018.  Oil sales volumes increased as a
result of acquiring the Borie Field in December 2017.  Gas and NGL (which is a by-product of the
gas production) production volumes decreased as a result of natural decline in production from the
Silvertip Field.

Field operating expenses increased in 2018 ($1,972,654) compared to 2017 ($1,556,624) due mainly
to the addition of the operating costs from the Borie field.

In 2017, there was a reversal of impairment of $1.18M in relation to the Sheep Springs and Round
Mountain Fields as a result of the net present value of these assets increasing in line with an increase
in oil prices.  No impairment expenses or impairment reversals were booked in 2018.

A one-off gain on purchase of the Borie Field of $0.9M was recorded in 2017 as a result of the fair
value at purchase (as determined by an independent certified reservoir engineer based on oil price
assumptions at the time of purchase) being higher than the purchase price of the field.

5. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

The Company completed a placement of new shares and options through a rights issue that was completed
in March 2019 which raised A$2.54 million (before costs).  363.5 million shares were issued at a price of
A$0.007 per share, with an equivalent number of options exercisable at A$0.015 expiring on 22 February
2021.  These funds were raised for the purpose of working capital to use in the advancement of new well
permitting and drilling.  This equity strengthens the Company’s financial position and ensures that it’s drilling
program for 2019 is funded.

As a result of the completion of the rights issue that was announced in February 2019, the exercise price
of the options that were issued in November 2017 and which had an expiry date of 29 November 2019,
was changed from A$0.020 to A$0.0188 per option in accordance with their terms of issue.

In March 2019, the Company announced that it had commenced the permitting of its first well to be drilled
in the leases that it acquired in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, in September 2018.  The Govt Kaehne
#9-29 is considered to be a low risk conventional well targeting production of light sweet crude oil from the
Sandstone reservoirs of the Dakota Formation (Lower Cretaceous Age) at a depth of ~6,200 feet.  This
well will target high quality, oil saturated reservoir, in a structurally high position relative to offset wells.

1 Oil price is net of the refinery transportation deduct that is applicable for each field.  Average West Texas Intermediate 
(WTI)  spot  prices  in  2017  and  2018  were  $50.88  and  $64.93  per  barrel  respectively.    Oil  price  benchmarks  for  oil 
produced from the California Fields is based off a higher price than WTI. 

2 Gas is priced off the Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) Rockies benchmark.  Average Henry Hub gas prices in 2017 and 2018 

were $2.99 and $3.17 per Mcf respectively.

6. MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

This section describes some of the material business risks associated with Eon.  It does not purport to list

every  risk  that  may  be  associated  with  Eon’s  business  or  the  industry  in  which  it  operates,  and  the

occurrence  or  consequences  of  some  of  the  risks  described  in  this  section  are  partially  or  completely

outside of the control of the Group, its Directors and the senior management team.

The selection of risks included in this section has been based on an assessment of the most significant

areas of uncertainty for the Group’s business and operations that could have an adverse impact on the

achievement  of  the  financial  performance  and  outcomes  for  the  business.    There  is  no  guarantee  or

assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or other risks will not emerge.

Eon is exposed to risks in relation to the Group’s existing and proposed business operations.  These risks

include, without limitation:

a) Group operations

The operations of the Group in its business activities of oil and gas exploration and production may

be  affected  by  various  factors,  including  failure  to  achieve  predicted  well  production  flow  rates,

operational and technical difficulties encountered in production, difficulties in gaining government or

regulatory approvals, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical

failure  or  plant  breakdown,  unanticipated  reservoir  problems  which  may  affect  field  production

performance,  adverse  weather  conditions,  industrial  and  environmental  accidents,  force  majeure

events  by  suppliers,  product  processes  and  pipeline  road  transporters,  industrial  disputes  and

unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, commodities, plant and

equipment.  Any of these outcomes could increase Eon’s costs or cause other adverse effects to

Eon’s financial position.

Eon’s  management  systems,  experienced  staff,  selection  of  experienced  consultants  and

contractors, company risk management system and insurance policies are in place to minimise risks

and outcomes of factors affecting company operations and resulting financial performance.

b)

Petroleum reserves

Estimates of petroleum reserves are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and

industry practice.  Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may change significantly

when  new  information  or  techniques  become  available.  In  addition,  by  their  nature,  petroleum

reserves estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to

be inaccurate.  As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis,

the estimates are likely to change.

Eon  NRG  Ltd  uses  experienced  external  engineers  from  third  party  petroleum  engineering

consultants to review its petroleum reserves, supervised by the senior personnel who have sufficient

experience that is relevant to the Group’s reserves to qualify as a Reserves and Resources Evaluator

as defined in the ASX Listing Rules.

c) Oil and gas commodity price and exchange rate

The revenue that Eon may derive through the sale of oil, gas and other commodities exposes the

potential  income  of  the  Group  to  commodity  prices  and  exchange  rate  risks.    Oil  and  gas  prices

fluctuate  and  are  affected  by many  factors  beyond the  control of the  Group.  Such  factors  include

international and US domestic supply and demand fluctuations, forward selling activities and other

macro-economic factors.

This section describes some of the material business risks associated with Eon.  It does not purport to list
every  risk  that  may  be  associated  with  Eon’s  business  or  the  industry  in  which  it  operates,  and  the
occurrence  or  consequences  of  some  of  the  risks  described  in  this  section  are  partially  or  completely
outside of the control of the Group, its Directors and the senior management team.

The selection of risks included in this section has been based on an assessment of the most significant
areas of uncertainty for the Group’s business and operations that could have an adverse impact on the
achievement  of  the  financial  performance  and  outcomes  for  the  business.    There  is  no  guarantee  or
assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or other risks will not emerge.

Eon is exposed to risks in relation to the Group’s existing and proposed business operations.  These risks
include, without limitation:

a) Group operations

The operations of the Group in its business activities of oil and gas exploration and production may
be  affected  by  various  factors,  including  failure  to  achieve  predicted  well  production  flow  rates,
operational and technical difficulties encountered in production, difficulties in gaining government or
regulatory approvals, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical
failure  or  plant  breakdown,  unanticipated  reservoir  problems  which  may  affect  field  production
performance,  adverse  weather  conditions,  industrial  and  environmental  accidents,  force  majeure
events  by  suppliers,  product  processes  and  pipeline  road  transporters,  industrial  disputes  and
unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, commodities, plant and
equipment.  Any of these outcomes could increase Eon’s costs or cause other adverse effects to
Eon’s financial position.

Eon’s  management  systems,  experienced  staff,  selection  of  experienced  consultants  and
contractors, company risk management system and insurance policies are in place to minimise risks
and outcomes of factors affecting company operations and resulting financial performance.

b)

Petroleum reserves

Estimates of petroleum reserves are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and
industry practice.  Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may change significantly
when  new  information  or  techniques  become  available.  In  addition,  by  their  nature,  petroleum
reserves estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to
be inaccurate.  As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis,
the estimates are likely to change.

Eon  NRG  Ltd  uses  experienced  external  engineers  from  third  party  petroleum  engineering
consultants to review its petroleum reserves, supervised by the senior personnel who have sufficient
experience that is relevant to the Group’s reserves to qualify as a Reserves and Resources Evaluator
as defined in the ASX Listing Rules.

c) Oil and gas commodity price and exchange rate

The revenue that Eon may derive through the sale of oil, gas and other commodities exposes the
potential  income  of  the  Group  to  commodity  prices  and  exchange  rate  risks.    Oil  and  gas  prices
fluctuate  and  are  affected  by many  factors  beyond the  control of the  Group.  Such  factors  include
international and US domestic supply and demand fluctuations, forward selling activities and other
macro-economic factors.

The price of oil and gas sold by Eon is denominated in United States dollars exposing the Company
to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the
Australian dollar as determined in international markets.  The Company reports its financial results
in US Dollars but its securities are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange in Australian Dollars.

d)

Environmental

The operations and proposed activities of the Group are subject to laws and regulations concerning
the  environment  applicable  in  the  jurisdiction  of  those  activities.    As  with  most  development  or
production operations, the Group’s activities will have an impact on the environment.  It is the Group’s
practice  to  conduct  its  activities  to  the  highest  standard  of  environmental  obligation,  including
compliance with all environmental laws.

e)

Sovereign

The Group’s projects are in the USA and are subject to the risks associated with operating in that
country.  These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, changes of laws
(such as those affecting foreign ownership), government participation, taxation, working conditions,
rates of exchange, exchange control, approvals and licensing, export duties, repatriation of income
or  return of capital,  environmental  protection,  labour  relations as  well  as  government control  over
natural resources or government regulations that require the employment of local staff or contractors
or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | f)

Status of leases and tenure

All  petroleum  licenses  associated  with  the  Group’s  project  interests  are  subject  to  granting  and
approval by relevant government bodies and mineral owners, and ongoing compliance with license
terms and conditions.  There is an ongoing potential risk to the Group’s business from an unexpected
change in the status of the its licenses.

g)

Insurance

The Group maintains insurance coverage limiting financial loss resulting from certain operating risks,
in accordance with standard industry practice or as determined by the Board.  However, not all risks
inherent to its operations can be adequately insured economically or at all, and losses and liabilities
arising  from  uninsured  or  underinsured  operational  events  or  the  failure  of  one  of  its  insurance
providers could increase the Group’s costs or cause other adverse effects to its financial position.

h) Reliance on key personnel

The  responsibility  of  overseeing  the  day-to-day  operations  and  the  strategic  management  of  the
Group depends substantially on its senior management and key personnel.

There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Group if one or more
of these personnel cease their employment or appointment with the Company (or its group) or if the
composition of the Company’s board of Directors changes, potentially resulting in disruption to the
Group’s business and operations with resulting financial impacts.

The Group maintains competitive remuneration policies and incentive plans for its Directors and staff
to incentivise due effort and commitment and maximise retention to avoid potential disruption and
financial impacts resulting from personnel movements.

i)

Regulatory Risk

The  introduction  of  new  legislation  or  amendments  to  existing  legislation  by  governments,
developments in existing law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the
legal jurisdictions which govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations (particularly in
the USA), could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance
of the Group.

Eon NRG Ltd seeks to maintain compliance with legislative, regulatory and contractual requirements
through engagement of external legal, financial and technical advisors in relation to operation of its
business.  The Group’s management maintains awareness of the regulatory environment through
general participation in the oil and gas sector, via sector related news flow from media, attendance
at conferences.

7.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group is subject to certain laws regarding environmental matters and discharge of hazardous waste
materials  in  the  course  of  normal  operations.    The  Group  conducts  its  activities  in  an  environmentally
responsible and safe manner in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.  The Directors are not
aware of any breaches in relation to environmental matters.

8.

of  the  Company,  the  employment  of  the  officer  with  the  Company  or  a  breach  by  the  Company  of  its
obligations  under  the  Deed.    The  total  amount  of  insurance  premiums  paid  for  Directors  and  Officers
Indemnity insurance in 2018 was $23,000 (2017 - $19,815).

REMUNERATION REPORT 
(Audited) 
This Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2018 outlines the remuneration arrangements of 
the  Company  and  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  its 
Regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act. 

This Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (“KMP”) who 
are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major 
activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent 
company, Eon NRG Limited (“the Parent” or “Eon”). 

Eon  NRG  Limited  received  more  than  99%  of  the  votes  in  favour  of  the  Remuneration  Report  for  the  2017 
financial year at the annual general meeting held on May 31, 2018. 

Details of Directors and Key Management Personnel

 Gerry McGann (Technical Director)
 Matthew McCann (Director)


John Whisler (Managing Director)



There were no changes to KMP after the reporting date and before the date the financial report was authorised 
for issue. 

Remuneration Policy 
The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its key management personnel and other employees. 
In order to achieve the Company’s financial and operational objectives, it must attract, motivate and retain highly 
skilled directors and executives. 

15

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | To this end the Group embodies the following principles in its remuneration policy: 





Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;
Link executive rewards to shareholder value;
A proportion of executive compensation ‘at risk’, dependent upon meeting pre-determined targets; and
Establishing appropriate performance hurdles in relation to variable executive compensation.

Remuneration is not currently linked to profit performance.  The remuneration policy is for executives to be paid 
on terms that are competitive with those offered by entities of a similar size with the same industry.  Packages 
are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee with any recommendations of this committee reviewed 
and approved by the Board. 

The Company’s remuneration policy seeks to encourage alignment between the performance of the Company 
and total shareholder returns, and the remuneration of Executives.  Short term and, in particular, long term ‘at 
risk’  incentives  only  vest  when  predetermined  Company  performance  objectives  are  achieved.    These 
performance objectives are operational in nature (production outcomes) but are linked to financial performance 
and Company value indirectly. 

The following table shows the Company’s performance over the reporting period and the previous four financial 
years against overall remuneration for these years: 

Basic EPS (US$)

The members of the Company’s remuneration committee are Mark Stowell (Chair) and Gerry McGann. 

The Company has not used any remuneration consultants during the year. 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors based on market rates and with consideration given 
to the time, commitment and responsibility of the role.  Fees are determined within an aggregate fee pool limit, 
which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders.  This amount is separate from any specific 
tasks  that  the  Directors  may  take  on  for  the  Company.  The  current  aggregate  fee  pool  limit  approved  by 
shareholders is AUD$350,000. 

The table below summarises the Non-Executive Director fees (all set in US$): 

Chairman 
Non-Executive Director (Australia) 
Non-Executive Director (USA) 

US$60,000 pa  
US$40,000 pa plus superannuation (9.5%) 
US$40,000 pa 

Senior Executive Remuneration Policy 
The Company is committed to remunerating its senior executives in a manner that is market-competitive and 
consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of shareholders.  Consequently, under the senior 
executive remuneration policy the remuneration of senior executives may be comprised of the following:  








fixed salary that is comparable with the market and reflects core performance requirements, expertise and
responsibility expectations;
a performance bonus designed to reward actual achievement by the individual of performance objectives
and for materially improved Company performance;
participation in any share/option schemes which align executive and shareholder values; and
statutory and co-contribution superannuation and pension contributions where required by regulations or as
part of the executive’s overall remuneration package.

There are no fixed terms of employment in the senior executive employment agreements. 

By remunerating senior executives through performance and long-term incentive plans in addition to their fixed 
remuneration, the Company aims to align the interests of senior executives with those of shareholders through 
the improvement of Company performance.  The Board may use its discretion with respect to the payment of 
bonuses, stock options, share purchase plans and other incentives. 

The Company’s performance is measured through net cash flow, the increase of average daily gross production 
of oil, acquisition of projects and business opportunities, and the growth of reserves by development drilling and 
acquisitions.  These factors are basis of the performance and incentives for senior executives as set out in their 
service agreements.  In In 2017 and 2018 a discretionary bonus was paid to the CFO.  In 2018, the CEO was 
paid a performance bonus relating to the acquisition of the Borie Field in 2017 and a performance bonus for 
operational performance and new projects in 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

ABOUT THIS REPORT 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Eon  NRG  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  (the  “Group”)  for  the  year  ended 

31 December 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 29 March 2019.  

Eon NRG Limited is a for-profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  Its shares and 

listed options are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: E2E, E2EO, E2EOA). 

The principal activities of entities within the Group during the year was oil and gas exploration and production in North 

America  and  are  described  in  the  Directors’  Report.    There  has  been  no  significant  change  in  the  nature  of  these 

activities during the year.  

Basis of preparation: 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  which  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  in 

accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other 

authoritative  pronouncements  as  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB)  and  International 

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The  Group  has,  where  applicable, adopted all of  the new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued by  the 

Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the year ended 

31 December 2018 (Refer note 30). 

The  financial  report  has  also  been  prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis  and  accrual  accounting.   Where  necessary, 

comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with the current year disclosures. 

Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Eon NRG Limited and its subsidiaries (as 

outlined in note 24) as at and for the period ended 31 December 2018.   

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee 

and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee 

if, and only if, the Group has all of the following: 

•  Power  over  the  investee  (i.e.  existing  rights  that  give  it  the  current  ability  to  direct  the  relevant  activities  of  the 

investee) 

•  Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee 

•  The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns 

Where the Group has less than a majority of the voting, or similar, rights of an investee, it considers all relevant facts 

and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: 

•  The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee 

•  Rights arising from other contractual arrangements 

•  The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights 

The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  company,  using 

consistent accounting policies. 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group 

loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during 

the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the 

Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of 

the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. 

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into 

line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows 

relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results of the part of 

the reporting period during which Eon NRG Limited has had control. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

ABOUT THIS REPORT 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Eon  NRG  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  (the  “Group”)  for  the  year  ended

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | Currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).  The consolidated financial statements 
are  presented  in  United  States  dollars  (US$  or  USD),  which  is  Eon  NRG  Limited’s  functional  and  presentation 
currency. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the 
dates of the transactions.  Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and 
from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are recognised in profit or loss. 

Going Concern  
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity and realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  At 31 December 
2018, the Group has the following going concern indicators: 

(i)  As at 31 December 2018, the Group has recorded a deficiency in working capital amounting to $6,141,415 (2017 
– surplus of $4,196,005) due to reclassification of the bank loan from non-current to current liability (Refer Note 14 
to the financial statements). 

(ii)  The Group incurred a cash inflow from operating and investing activities of $332,259 including mandatory debt 
repayments for the year of $200,000 for the year ended 31 December 2018. The group’s available cash on hand 
at 31 December 2018 was $499,172.  

(iii)  The Group’s has no further mandatory term loan debt repayment commitments for the 12 month period ended 
31 December 2019.  However, the Line of Credit facility matures on 1 July 2019.  The Company will apply to the 
ANB  Bank  to  have  this  facility  extended  for  a  further  18  month  term  before  the  maturity  date,  in  line  with  the 
renewals that have taken place twice since the facility was made available by ANB Bank in 2015. 

Notwithstanding the above the Directors believe they have a reasonable basis to prepare the financial statements on 
a going concern basis after consideration of the following: 

(i)  The Company has raised an additional A$2.54 million (~US$1.83M) (before costs) from the placement of shares 

under a rights issue which closed in March 2019. 

(ii)  The business continues to own and operate a number of oil and gas fields that have consistent production and 

which are significantly cash flow positive. 

(iii)  Management’s cashflow forecasts show that the Group will remain in a positive net cash balance position. The 

forecasts are sensitive to production and oil and gas price assumptions.  

(iv)  Should the Company require funding to meet the Group’s ongoing financial commitments over the course of the 
next 12 months, the Directors are satisfied that this can be achieved through the sale of assets and/or equity raising 
from the issue of new shares.  

Should the Group not be able to execute the strategies set out above, there would be material uncertainty as to whether 
the  Group  would be  able  to meet  its  debts  as  and  when  they  fall  due  and  thus  continue  as  a going concern.    The 
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset 
amounts, or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might be required should the Group not be able to achieve 
the matters set out above, and thus be able to continue as a going concern.   

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

In applying the Group’s accounting policies management continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions 

based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Group. 

All  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  made  are believed  to  be  reasonable based  on  the  most  current set  of 

circumstances  available  to management.    Judgements and  estimates  which are  material  to  the  financial  report  are

Revenue 
AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue arising from contracts with customers (except for 
contracts  within  the  scope  of  other  accounting  standards  such  as  leases  or  financial  instruments).    This 
policy was effective from 1 January 2018. 

Sale revenue – oil, gas and by-products 
The Group recognises revenue when the performance obligation under the sales contract is achieved.  This 
performance obligation is achieved when the oil/NGL is transferred to the refinery transportation vehicles 
and when the gas is transferred into the buyer’s transportation pipeline.  The Group has agreements with 
mineral  rights  owners  who  are  paid  a  percentage  of  the  gross  oil,  gas  and  derivative  sales  in  return  for 
granting the mineral/hydrocarbon extraction rights for these products.  Under AASB15, the sales value that 
is recorded for the disposal of oil, gas and other products (NGL’s, etc) will exclude amounts collected on 
behalf of third parties, including the mineral rights/royalty payments to owners. 

For  reporting  periods  beginning  1  January  2018,  sales  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  represent  sales 
excluding royalty and production tax amounts.  Prior year comparison amounts (2017) have been restated 
to reflect  this  change in accounting policy.   The  adjustment  to 2017 revenue  results in  a  restatement of 
production expenses (royalty costs) for the year ending 31 December 2017 in these financial statements.  
Sales  revenue  for  the  twelve  months  to  December  2017  has  been  restated  in  this  report  to  $4,100,549 
(previously  shown  as  $4,958,280)  and  the  royalty  cost  that  was  shown  in  the  Annual  Report  dated  31 
December 2017 of $857,731 is no longer represented as a cost of sales as it was in the previous report. 

Interest 
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest  method, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the 
net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

2. Expenses from Continuing Operations

a) Production Expenses

The Group uses the units of production (UOP) approach when amortising and depreciating field-specific 

assets. Using this method of amortisation and depreciation requires the Group to compare the actual volume 

of production to the reserves and then to apply this determined rate of depletion to the carrying value of the 

depreciable asset.  Non-producing assets under evaluation and appraisal are not subject to amortisation until 

such time as the evaluation and appraisal stage is complete.  

Rehabilitation provision 

Site restoration/rehabilitation costs are capitalised within costs of the associated assets and the provision is 

included in the statement of financial position at total present value of the estimated cost to restore operating 

locations.  The costs of restoration are brought to account in the profit and loss through depreciation of the 

associated assets over the economic life of the projects with which these costs are associated. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.  

Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount.  Where 

the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount  the  asset  is  considered  impaired  and  is 

written down to its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.  It is determined for 

an individual asset, unless it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other 

assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit 

(CGU) to which the asset belongs.

AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue arising from contracts with customers (except for 

contracts  within  the  scope  of  other  accounting  standards  such  as  leases  or  financial  instruments).    This 

policy was effective from 1 January 2018. 

Sale revenue – oil, gas and by-products 

The Group recognises revenue when the performance obligation under the sales contract is achieved.  This 

performance obligation is achieved when the oil/NGL is transferred to the refinery transportation vehicles 

and when the gas is transferred into the buyer’s transportation pipeline.  The Group has agreements with 

mineral  rights  owners  who  are  paid  a  percentage  of  the  gross  oil,  gas  and  derivative  sales  in  return  for 

granting the mineral/hydrocarbon extraction rights for these products.  Under AASB15, the sales value that 

is recorded for the disposal of oil, gas and other products (NGL’s, etc) will exclude amounts collected on 

behalf of third parties, including the mineral rights/royalty payments to owners. 

For  reporting  periods  beginning  1  January  2018,  sales  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  represent  sales 

excluding royalty and production tax amounts.  Prior year comparison amounts (2017) have been restated 

to reflect  this  change in accounting policy.   The  adjustment  to 2017 revenue  results in  a  restatement of 

production expenses (royalty costs) for the year ending 31 December 2017 in these financial statements.  

Sales  revenue  for  the  twelve  months  to  December  2017  has  been  restated  in  this  report  to  $4,100,549 

(previously  shown  as  $4,958,280)  and  the  royalty  cost  that  was  shown  in  the  Annual  Report  dated  31 

December 2017 of $857,731 is no longer represented as a cost of sales as it was in the previous report. 

Interest 

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest  method, which is the rate that 

exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the 

net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Amortisation of oil and gas assets 
The Group uses the units of production (UOP) approach when amortising and depreciating field-specific 
assets. Using this method of amortisation and depreciation requires the Group to compare the actual volume 
of production to the reserves and then to apply this determined rate of depletion to the carrying value of the 
depreciable asset.  Non-producing assets under evaluation and appraisal are not subject to amortisation until 
such time as the evaluation and appraisal stage is complete.

Site restoration/rehabilitation costs are capitalised within costs of the associated assets and the provision is 
included in the statement of financial position at total present value of the estimated cost to restore operating 
locations.  The costs of restoration are brought to account in the profit and loss through depreciation of the

written down to its recoverable amount.

an individual asset, unless it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | Significant accounting policy (Cont.) 

Impairment of non-financial assets (Cont.) 
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the asset. 

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 prior years. 

Exploration expense 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is capitalised at cost and includes acquisition of rights to 
explore, studies, exploratory drilling, sampling and associated activities.  Costs are accumulated in respect 
of  each  identifiable  area  of  interest.    General  and  administrative  expenditures  are  only  included  in  the 
measurement  of  exploration  and  evaluation  costs  where  they  relate  directly  to  operational  activities 
particular area of interest. 

When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated 
costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.  Each area of interest 
is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that 
they will not be recoverable in the future. 

Key estimates and judgements 
Oil and gas reserve and resource estimates 
Oil  and  Gas  reserves  are  estimates  of  the  amount  of  oil  and  gas  that  can  be  economically  and  legally 
extracted  from  the  Group's  mining  properties.    The  Group  estimates  its  Oil  and  Gas  reserves  based  on 
information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth 
and shape of the reserve, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data.  The estimation 
of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, 
future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made 
in estimating the size and grade of the reserves.  Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact 
upon  the  carrying  value  of  exploration  and  evaluation  assets,  mine  properties,  property,  plant  and 
equipment, goodwill, provision for rehabilitation, recognition of deferred tax assets, and depreciation and 
amortisation charges. 

Units of Production (UOP) amortisation 
Estimated recoverable reserves are used in determining the amortisation of oilfield assets.  This results in 
an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of field production.  
Each item's life, which is assessed annually, has regard to both its physical life limitations and to present 
assessments  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  of  the  property  at  which  the  asset  is  located.    These 
calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves and 
estimates of future capital expenditure.  Barrels of oil produced as a proportion of 1P developed reserves 
are  used  as  the  depreciation  methodology.  The  calculation  of  the  rate  of  UOP  amortisation  could  be 
impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current forecast production based 
on total proved reserves for  future capital expenditure changes.  Changes to  reserves could arise due to 
changes in the factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves.  Changes are accounted for prospectively.  
Amortisation charges are included in note 10.

Income tax 
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period 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, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group 
operates and generates taxable income. 

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the 
statement  of  profit  and  loss.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  the  tax  returns  with 
respect  to  situations  in  which  applicable  tax  regulations  are  subject  to  interpretation  and  establishes 
provisions where appropriate. 

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

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: 

except  where  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  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; and 

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates 

and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences 

can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable 

future. 

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  assets  and  unused  tax 

losses can be utilised: 

except  where 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; and 

in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates 

and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable 

that  the  temporary  differences  will  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future  and  taxable  profit  will  be 

available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting 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 tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting 

date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits 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 

period 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 reporting date. 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income 

statement. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current 

tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and 

the same taxation authority. 

Key estimates and judgements 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognised on the statement of financial 

position, Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-utilised tax losses, require management to 

assess  the  likelihood  that  the  Group  will  generate  taxable  earnings  in  future  periods,  in  order  to  utilise 

recognised deferred tax assets.  Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from 

operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction.  To the extent that future cash flows 

and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group to realise the net deferred 

tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. 

Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates could limit the 

ability of the Group to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will 

be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use and operations. Such non-current 

assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and 

fair value less costs to distribute. Costs to distribute are the incremental costs directly attributable to the 

distribution, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.  

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the distribution is highly probable, 

and  the  asset  or  disposal  group  is  available  for  immediate  distribution  in  its  present  condition.  Actions 

required  to  complete  the  distribution  should  indicate  that  it  is  unlikely  that  significant  changes  to  the 

distribution  will  be  made  or  that  the  decision  to  distribute  will  be  withdrawn.  Management  must  be 

committed to the distribution expected within one year from the date of the classification.  

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held 

for distribution.

As at 31 December 2018 the Company assessed each project on a value in use basis to determine whether an 

indicator  of  impairment  existed,  including  future  selling  price,  future  costs  and  reserves.    As  a  result,  the 

recoverable amounts of the cash generating units were formally estimated on the basis of value in use calculation 

using  cashflow  projections  over  the  life  of  the  oilfields  (i.e.  18  to  36  years)  resulting  in  no  impairment  being 

recognised for the year.  The following assumptions were used in the assessment of the cash generating units’ 

recoverable amounts: 

  Discount rate - 

the discount rate used for the assessment of operating oilfields with a similar production 

profile, similar characteristics as all existing oil fields is 12%, which was applied to the 

pre-tax cash flows, expressed in real terms. The discount rate was derived from the 

Group’s weighted average cost of capital, with appropriate adjustments made to reflect 

the risks specific to the region and the oilfields. 

  Oil and gas price -   the oil price for future cash flow generation has been based on the forward curve price 

at  the  date  of  assessment.    Oil  prices  are  adjusted  to  account  for  variances  in 

refinery/transportation charges with a range of $54 per barrel to $73 per barrel.  Gas 

charges are adjusted to account for the market into which the product is delivered with 

prices ranging from $2.89 per Mcf to $3.64 per Mcf.

as follows: 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

Oil stocks and field repair inventory amounts are physically measured, counted or estimated and valued at 

the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 

course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs of selling final product. Cost is determined 

Materials, which include drilling and maintenance stocks, are valued at cost; and 

Petroleum products, comprising extracted crude oil stored in tanks, are valued at cost. 

Material stocks are valued at weighted average cost  

For inventories and material stocks, cost is determined on a FIFO (first in, first out) basis.

Assets and disposal groups held for sale 
The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will 
be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use and operations. Such non-current 
assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and 
fair value less costs to distribute. Costs to distribute are the incremental costs directly attributable to the 
distribution, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.  

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the distribution is highly probable, 
and  the  asset  or  disposal  group  is  available  for  immediate  distribution  in  its  present  condition.  Actions 
required  to  complete  the  distribution  should  indicate  that  it  is  unlikely  that  significant  changes  to  the 
distribution  will  be  made  or  that  the  decision  to  distribute  will  be  withdrawn.  Management  must  be 
committed to the distribution expected within one year from the date of the classification.  

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held 
for distribution.

As at 31 December 2018 the Company assessed each project on a value in use basis to determine whether an 
indicator  of  impairment  existed,  including  future  selling  price,  future  costs  and  reserves.    As  a  result,  the 
recoverable amounts of the cash generating units were formally estimated on the basis of value in use calculation 
using  cashflow  projections  over  the  life  of  the  oilfields  (i.e.  18  to  36  years)  resulting  in  no  impairment  being 
recognised for the year.  The following assumptions were used in the assessment of the cash generating units’ 
recoverable amounts: 

  Discount rate - 

the discount rate used for the assessment of operating oilfields with a similar production 
profile, similar characteristics as all existing oil fields is 12%, which was applied to the 
pre-tax cash flows, expressed in real terms. The discount rate was derived from the 
Group’s weighted average cost of capital, with appropriate adjustments made to reflect 
the risks specific to the region and the oilfields. 

  Oil and gas price -   the oil price for future cash flow generation has been based on the forward curve price 
at  the  date  of  assessment.    Oil  prices  are  adjusted  to  account  for  variances  in 
refinery/transportation charges with a range of $54 per barrel to $73 per barrel.  Gas 
charges are adjusted to account for the market into which the product is delivered with 
prices ranging from $2.89 per Mcf to $3.64 per Mcf.

Impairment reversal  
As at 31 December 2017 the Company assessed each project on a value in use basis to determine whether 
an indicator of impairment existed. It was determined that no impairment of any of the Oil Fields is required.  
The recoverable amount used to determine the impairment reversal value is determined by using its fair value 
(based on the agreed selling price) less costs to sell.

The resulting impairment assessment on each field at the end of 2017 was as follows:

1.  Assessment  of  fair  market  value  is  based  a  consensus  of  a  range  of  discounted  net  present  cash  flow 

estimates using various assumptions. 

The determination of value in use for each CGU are considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements in both 
years, as they  are derived  from  valuation  techniques  that include inputs  that  are  not  based  on  observable 
market data. The Group considers the inputs and the valuation approach to be consistent with the approach 
taken by market participants. 

Significant accounting policy 

Oil and gas assets 
Assets in development  
The costs of oil and gas assets in development are separately accounted for and include past exploration 
and evaluation costs, development drilling and other subsurface expenditure, surface plant and equipment 
and  any  associated  land  and  buildings.    When  the  committed  development  expenditure  programs  are 
completed  and  production  commences,  these  costs  are  subject  to  amortisation.    Once  the  required 
statutory documentation for a production licence is lodged the accumulated costs are transferred to oil 
and gas assets – producing assets.  

Producing assets 
The costs of oil and gas assets in production are separately accounted for and include past exploration 
and evaluation costs, past development costs and ongoing  costs of  continuing to develop reserves for 
production and to expand or replace plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings. These 
costs are subject to amortisation.  

Where asset costs incurred in relation to a producing field are under evaluation and appraisal, those costs 
will be continually reviewed for recoupment of those costs by future exploitation. When a determination 
has been made that those expenditures will not be recouped and/or further appraisal will be undertaken, 
they will be written off.  

Amortisation of oil and gas assets 
Costs in relation to producing assets are amortised on a production output basis.  Non-producing assets 
under  evaluation  and  appraisal  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  until  such  time  as  the  evaluation  and 
appraisal stage is complete.

Oil and gas assets (Cont.) 

Restoration costs  

Site restoration costs are capitalised within costs of the associated assets and the provision is included in 

the  statement  of  financial  position  at  total  present  value  of  the  estimated  cost  to  restore  operating 

locations.  These costs are estimated and based on judgements and assumptions regarding removal dates, 

environmental legislation and technologies.  Over time, the liability is increased for the  change in the 

present value based on a risk adjusted pre-tax discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in the liability.  

The costs of restoration are brought to account in the profit and loss through depreciation of the associated 

assets over the economic life of the projects with which these costs are associated.  The unwinding of the 

discount is recorded as an accretion charge within finance costs. 

Key estimates and judgements 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

In determining the  recoverable amount of assets, estimations are  made regarding the present  value  of 

future  cash  flows  using  asset-specific  discount  rates  and  a  “value  in  use”  discounting  cash  flow 

methodology.    Additional  disclosures  are  provided  about  the  discount  rate  and  any  other  significant 

assumptions in the notes. For oil and gas properties, expected future cash flow estimation is based on 

reserves, future production profiles, commodity prices and costs. 

In determining the amount of an impairment reversal, the Company considers evidence of the fair values 

of  assets,  either  through  calculating  their  recoverable  amount  based  on  the  above  estimates  or  from 

evidence that becomes available upon negotiations for its sale.

Expenditure incurred during exploration and the early stages of evaluation of new areas of interest are 

capitalised until such time as it is determined that the area of interest is uneconomical at which time the 

cost is written off. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is stated at cost and is accumulated in respect 

of each identifiable area of interest. 

Costs of acquisition of exploration areas of interest are carried forward where right of tenure of the area 

of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and 

exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest 

have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  that  permits  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  of  economically 

recoverable reserves.  

When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated 

costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.  Each area of 

interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the 

extent that they will not be recoverable in the future. Once an area of interest enters the development 

phase, all capitalised acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditures are transferred to oil and gas 

properties.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | Key estimates and judgements 

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure 
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number 
of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it 
successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.  Factors that could impact 
future  recoverability  include  the  level  of  reserves  and  resources,  future  technological  changes,  which 
could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes to commodity prices.  To the extent 
that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable, profits and 
net assets will be reduced in the period in which determination is made.

Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: 

Plant and equipment - 5 to 10 years. 

Any item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic 
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognising of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is 
derecognised. 

Key estimates and judgements 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The estimation of useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ 
warranties (for plant and equipment), lease terms (for leased equipment) and turnover policies (for motor 
vehicles).  In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against 
the remaining useful life.  Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary.  Depreciation 
charges are included in note 12.

Loans and borrowings 
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method.  Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the 
liabilities are de-recognised as well.  Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or 
premium  on  acquisition  and  fees  or  costs  that  are  an  integral  part  of  the  effective  interest  rate.    The 
amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. 

Key estimates and judgements 

Restoration obligations 

Where  a  restoration  obligation  exists,  the  Group  estimates  the  future  removal  costs  of  oil  and  gas 

platforms, production facilities, wells and pipelines at the time of the installation of the assets. In most 

instances, removal  of assets occurs  many  years into the  future. This  requires judgmental assumptions 

regarding removal date, future environmental legislation, the extent of reclamation activities required, 

the engineering methodology for estimating cost, future removal technologies in determining the removal 

cost and liability specific discount rates to determine the present value of these cash flows.

Asset retirement obligation 
The  asset  retirement  obligation  provision  takes  account  of  the  restoration  of  wells  and  associated 
infrastructure at the end of their economic life.  The provision is the estimated cost of restoration work 
required at the end of the useful life of the producing fields, including removal of facilities and equipment 
required or intended to be removed. 

The cost has been capitalised as the restoration obligation is recognised during the evaluation stage.  

Capital management 

These  provisions  have  been  created  based  on  estimates  provided  to  the  Group.  These  estimates  are 
reviewed  regularly  to  take  into  account  any  material  changes  to  the  assumptions.  However,  actual 
decommissioning  costs  will  ultimately  depend  upon  future  market  prices  for  the  necessary 
decommissioning works required which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, 
the timing of the decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at economically 
viable  rates.  This,  in  turn,  will  depend  upon  future  oil  prices,  which  are  inherently  uncertain.  These 
estimates of restoration are subject to significant estimates and assumptions, refer Note 2. The expected 
timing of the asset retirement obligation is over the life of the oilfields, ranging from 15 to 30 years.

In  November  2017  the  Company  completed  a  placement  of  new  shares  to  existing  shareholders  and  new 

investors  through  a  rights  issue  to  raise  A$1.98  million,  before  costs  and  fees.  The  placement  consisted  of 

197,906,206 ordinary shares priced at A$0.01. 

In January 2017, 360,000 shares were issued to an employee at a price of A$0.044 per share (Refer Note 18). 

In March 2018 6,288,374 ordinary shares were issued to Matt McCann (Director) on the same terms as shares 

were offered to shareholders under the rights issue in Nov 2017 following approval at EGM held on 6th February 

2018. These shares were issued at A$0.010 with a free attaching option. 

When managing capital, the Board’s objective is to ensure the Consolidated Group continues as a going concern 

as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also 

aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. 

The Board may in the future adjust the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital and 

issue further shares in the market.   

The Consolidated Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.  Management monitors 

capital by reviewing the level of cash on hand, future revenue streams from oil and gas reserves and assessing 

the impact of possible future commitments in respect of the potential capital structure that would be required to 

meet those potential commitments.

Restoration obligations 
Where  a  restoration  obligation  exists,  the  Group  estimates  the  future  removal  costs  of  oil  and  gas 
platforms, production facilities, wells and pipelines at the time of the installation of the assets. In most 
instances, removal  of assets occurs  many  years into the  future. This  requires judgmental assumptions 
regarding removal date, future environmental legislation, the extent of reclamation activities required, 
the engineering methodology for estimating cost, future removal technologies in determining the removal 
cost and liability specific discount rates to determine the present value of these cash flows.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | Significant accounting policy 

Share capital 
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.  Any 
transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of 
the share proceeds received.  

Treasury shares 
The Group’s own equity instruments, which are acquired for later use in employee share-based payment 
arrangements,  are  deducted  from  equity.  No  gain  or  loss  is  recognised  in  the  income  statement  on  the 
purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

18.  Share-Based payments 

(a)  Eon NRG Employee Share Participation Program 

In 2013, an employee share plan was established which entitles the Board of Directors to offer employees 
within  the  Group  the  right  to  acquire  shares  in  the  Company  subject  to  satisfying  specific  performance 
hurdles.  Shares that the employees will have a right to own are acquired and held in trust for the employees 
until they have met the service or performance conditions.  The shares rank equally with other fully paid 
ordinary shares.  The fair value is determined at the share price at the date of issue. 

The shares do not have an expiry date under the scheme. 

The equity remuneration is subject to service and performance conditions.  A summary of the vesting terms 
for shares that have been issued to employees are set out below:

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      | Significant accounting policy 

Share based payments (Cont.) 
The charge to the income statement for the year is the cumulative amount, as calculated above, less the 
amounts  charged  in  the  previous  years.  There  is  a  corresponding  amount  to  equity.  Until  an  award  has 
vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were 
originally anticipated. 

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the 
terms  had not been  modified. In  addition, an expense is recognised for any  increase  in the  value of the 
transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. 

Where 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. 

Key estimates and judgements 
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 accounting estimates and assumptions 
relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.  

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the 
Black-Scholes  formula  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were 
granted.

transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. 

Where 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 

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation 

in the previous paragraph. 

of earnings per share. 

Key estimates and judgements 

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 accounting estimates and assumptions 

relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets 

and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.  

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the 

Black-Scholes  formula  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were 

granted.

Segment Information 

The Group has determined that it operates in one operating segment, being exploration and production and this 
is the basis on which internal reports are provided to the Directors for assessing performance and determining 
the allocation of resources in the Group.  Accordingly, the financial results of the segment are equivalent to the 
financial statements of the Group as a whole. 

The Australian head office does not engage in business activities from which it generates or earn revenues.  As 
a result, the Australian head office does not represent an operating segment. 

26. 

Events after the reporting date 
The Company completed a placement of new shares and options through a rights issue that was completed in 
March 2019 which raised A$2.54 million (before costs).  363.5 million shares were issued at a price of A$0.007 
per share and an equivalent number of options exercisable at A$0.015 expiring on 22 February 2021 were also 
issued.  Funds were raised for the purpose of working capital to use in the advancement of new well permitting 
and drilling.  This equity strengthens the Company’s financial position and ensures that it’s drilling program for 
2019 is funded. 

As a result of the completion of the rights issue that was announced in February 2019, the options that were 
issued in November 2017 and which had an expiry date of 29 November 2019 had their option exercise price of 
A$0.02 changed to A$0.0188 per option in accordance with their terms of issue.

considered to be a low risk conventional well targeting production of light sweet crude oil from the Sandstone 
reservoirs of the Dakota Formation (Lower Cretaceous Age) at a depth of ~6,200’.  This well will target high 
quality, oil saturated reservoir, in a structurally high position relative to offset wells

Consideration Transferred 

On 1 October 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of a 94% working interest in the Borie Oil Field 

(“Borie”) from HRM Resources II, LLC (assignor). This field is located in DJ Basin in Wyoming.  Borie is made 

up of leases covering approximately 3,590 acres (Net acres 2,850).  At the time of acquisition, there were 19 

operating wells in the field (including water injection wells) along with pumping and piping equipment and oil 

storage facilities.  The acquisition of Borie increases the oil and gas production and reserves and forms part of

No cash was acquired on acquisition. 

As at the date of acquisition, a reserve report and valuation of the Borie oilfield was prepared by an independent 

certified Petroleum Engineer which demonstrated that the Borie Oilfield had an estimated value of $2.4145m.  

This reserve report analyses the remaining proven developed reserves of the oilfield, and applies a production 

curve over the life of the oilfield, an estimate of forward oil prices (passed on the NYMEX WTI forward contract 

strip at the effective date) to generate the revenue and the expected lease operating costs (based on historical 

data) to determine a discounted net present future cashflow value. 

The cash consideration was funded through the Company’s equity raising in November 2017.  

The  fair  value  of  oil  properties  is  based  on  the  estimated  net  present  value  of  proved  developed  producing 

reserves as provided by an independent certified engineer. 

An  asset  retirement  obligation  of  $655,844  was  determined  based  on  the  NPV  of  the  estimated  plug  and 

abandonment cost of the wells in the Borie Field as follows: 







Life of field – based on certified reserve report 

Discount rate – based on US Government bond rate determined by life of field 

Inflation rate – the median of an inflation projection from a range of qualified banking and NGO institutions 

From the date of acquisition to 31 December 2017, Borie contributed $158,093 of gross revenue and $17,174 

to profit before tax from continuing operations of the Group. If the Borie Field had been owned from 1 January 

2017, it would have contributed approximately $1.29m to gross revenue and $55,000 to net profit. This is based 

on publicly available production data, oil prices, refinery deducts and operating cost estimates for the period 

from January to September and actual revenue and operating costs from October to December when Eon was 

the owner of the field.

a)  Market Risk 

i)  Foreign Exchange Risk 

The  Group  operates internationally  and  are  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk arising  from  currency 

exposures with respect to the Australian dollar.  

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities 

denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign 

operations.   The group does not hedge its currency risk which is mainly an exposure to Australian 

Dollar expenditure and assets/liabilities.

ii)  Commodity price risk 

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk as its income is determined by reference to international 

prices of oil and gas.  Pricing of the Group’s oil is benchmarked off West Texas Intermediate crude oil 

prices.  The Group’s gas sales revenue is benchmarked off the CIG Rocky Mountain Natural Gas price.  

Market forces on both the physical and non-physical markets cause volatility to be out of the Group’s 

control.  As  at  the  reporting  date,  the  Group  had  no  financial  instruments  with  material  exposure  to 

commodity price risk. The group was exposed to price risk from the sale of oil and gas. A sensitivity

iii)  Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk in relation to the fair value or future cash flow may arise from interest rate fluctuations.  

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings which have a variable rate of interest indexed 

against the US Prime Rate.  No hedging is in place by way of interest rate swaps or any other financial 

derivatives to limit the interest rate risk exposure. 

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings.

Financial risk management  

29) 

Financial Risk Management (Cont.) 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  liabilities,  comprise  of  borrowings  and  trade  and  other  payables.  The  main 

purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets 

include trade and other receivables and cash that derive directly from its operations. 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate 

risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.  The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the 

unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance 

of the Group.  

The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management.  The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, 

and also opportunities are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned 

with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.  The Board provides policies for overall risk management, 

as  well  as  policies  covering  specific  areas,  such  as  foreign  exchange  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  credit  risk  and 

investment of excess liquidity.

a)  Market Risk 

i)  Foreign Exchange Risk 

The  Group  operates internationally  and  are  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk arising  from  currency 
exposures with respect to the Australian dollar.  

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign 
operations.   The group does not hedge its currency risk which is mainly an exposure to Australian 
Dollar expenditure and assets/liabilities. 

The financial assets that are exposed to foreign exchange risk are:

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk as its income is determined by reference to international 
prices of oil and gas.  Pricing of the Group’s oil is benchmarked off West Texas Intermediate crude oil 
prices.  The Group’s gas sales revenue is benchmarked off the CIG Rocky Mountain Natural Gas price.  
Market forces on both the physical and non-physical markets cause volatility to be out of the Group’s 
control.  As  at  the  reporting  date,  the  Group  had  no  financial  instruments  with  material  exposure  to 
commodity price risk. The group was exposed to price risk from the sale of oil and gas. A sensitivity 
analysis of the  change  of  oil and gas  prices  to  the net profit  of  the consolidated entity  is  presented

d)  Fair value measurements 

The fair value of the financial instruments is included at the price that would be received to sell an asset or 

paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 

The following method and assumption was used to estimate the fair values: 

Fair values of the Group’s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash 

flow models that use discount rates to reflect the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. 

The Group’s own non-performance risk as at 31 December 2018 was assessed to be insignificant. 

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments 

which are measured at fair value by valuation technique: 

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are 

Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not 

observable, either directly or indirectly 

based on observable market data 

All financial instruments measured at fair value use Level 2 valuation techniques in both years. 

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the reporting period.

The assumed movement in basis point volatility for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the 
observable market movements in interest rates in the recent past. 

b)  Credit Risk 

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits 
with  banks  and  financial  institutions,  as  well  as  credit  exposure  relating  to  outstanding  receivables  and 
committed transactions.  The Group has minimal credit risk with regards to its bank held deposits which are 
all held with reputable institutions.  The Group has minimal credit risk in relation to its receivables.  All sales 
are normally settled within 30 days of the issue of the invoice and existing customers have no record of 
default with the Company. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount 
of the receivables. Collateral is not held as security. 

The  Group  relies  on  four  customers  to  generate  its  sales  revenue.    The  ability  for  these  customers  to 
continue to buy the Group’s production in the medium to long term is unclear but there are no indications 
that the demand for the Company’s products are likely to create a risk of a demand shortfall.  There is no 
evidence that any of the Company’s customers would not be in a position to make payments in relation to 
the purchase of the products that are sold.  Most of these customers are large companies and there has 
been no experience that would suggest that there is an enhanced credit risk. 

The Group does not have any exposure to any derivative financial instruments. 

c)  Liquidity Risk 

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through 
an  adequate  amount  of  committed  credit  facilities.  The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  continuously 
monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities. Group management aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines 
available. Surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments such as term deposits that are highly 
liquid. 

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents. In 
addition, the Group’s liquidity policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the 
level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring debt financing plans. 

The group had access to borrowings as disclosed in note 14. Note 14 also discloses the security for these 
borrowings. 

The fair value of bank loans equals their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant. 

Maturities  of  financial  liabilities  is  shown  below.  The  tables  analyse  the  group’s  financial  liabilities  into 
relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all non- derivative financial liabilities.  
The amounts disclosed are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal 
their carrying values as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Financial instruments  
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement 
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial 
liability or equity instrument of another entity 

Financial assets  
Financial  assets  in  the  scope  of  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  are 
classified  as  either  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive  income  or  amortised  cost.  When  financial  assets  are  recognised  initially,  they  are 
measured at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly 
attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial 
recognition. 

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that 
the  Group commits to purchase  the asset. Regular  way purchases or sales  are purchases  or sales of 
financial  assets  under  contracts  that  require  delivery  of  the  assets  within  the  period  established 
generally by regulation or convention in the Market place. 

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement 
De-recognition 
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial 
assets) is primarily de- recognised (i.e. removed from the group’s consolidated statement of financial 
position) when: 

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or 
• 
The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an 
• 
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass 
through arrangement: and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of 
the asset or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of 
the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is 
impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of 
the asset has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably 
estimated.  Evidence  of  impairment  may  include  indications  that  the  debtors  are  experiencing 
significant  financial  difficulty,  default  or  delinquency  in  interest  or  principal  repayments  or  other 
observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such 
as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. 

Financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities 
at fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and loans 
and borrowings. 

30.  New accounting standards and interpretations 

a.  New  and  Revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards 

Board (the AASB) 

A  number  of  new  or  amended  standards  became  applicable  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  most 
significant  of  these  were  AASB  9  ‘Financial  Instruments’  and  AASB  15  ‘Revenue  from  Contract  with 
Customers’. The adoption of these Accounting standards however, did not have any significant impact on 
the financial performance or position of the Group. The effects of the implementation of AASB 15 on the 
Group accounts has been discussed under ‘Significant Accounting Policy’ under Note 1. 

b.  New accounting standards not yet effective 

At the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were 
in issue but not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ending

The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an 

obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass 

through arrangement: and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of 

the asset or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of 

the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

Impairment of financial assets 

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is 

impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of 

the asset has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably 

estimated.  Evidence  of  impairment  may  include  indications  that  the  debtors  are  experiencing 

significant  financial  difficulty,  default  or  delinquency  in  interest  or  principal  repayments  or  other 

observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such 

as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. 

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities 

at fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and loans

30.  New accounting standards and interpretations 

Board (the AASB) 

A  number  of  new  or  amended  standards  became  applicable  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  most 

significant  of  these  were  AASB  9  ‘Financial  Instruments’  and  AASB  15  ‘Revenue  from  Contract  with 

Customers’. The adoption of these Accounting standards however, did not have any significant impact on 

the financial performance or position of the Group. The effects of the implementation of AASB 15 on the 

Group accounts has been discussed under ‘Significant Accounting Policy’ under Note 1. 

b.  New accounting standards not yet effective 

  A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly to 

other financial liabilities 

  Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis 
  AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees 

Lessor accounting 
  AASB  16  substantially  carries  forward  the  lessor  accounting  requirements  in  AASB  117.  Accordingly,  a 
lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two 
types of leases differently 

  AASB 16 also has required enhanced disclosures 

Eon NRG Limited does not have any material leases aside from the lease of its business premises in Denver, 
USA and Perth, Australia. If this new standard were to be applied, there would not be any material impact on 
the financial performance and position in this report. 

31.  Other accounting policies 

a.  Foreign currency translation 

i.  Functional and presentation currency 

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.   From 1 January 2011 all 
companies  in  the  Group  adopted  US  dollars  as  the  functional  and  presentational  currency.    All 
amounts included in the financial statements are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. 

An  entity’s  functional  currency  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the 
entity operates.  The economic entity has a significant US dollar revenue stream and most of its costs 
are paid in US dollars.  Consequently, the Directors have determined that the functional currency of 
the Company and all its subsidiaries is US dollars.   

ii.  Transactions and balances 

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 reporting date. 

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss. 

a.  New  and  Revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards 

b.  Goods and services tax 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the amount  of  goods  and  services  tax  (GST), 
except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).  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 expenses.  

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  with  the  amount  of  GST  included.    The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.  
The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable 
from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. 

At the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were 

in issue but not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Company for the annual reporting period ending 

31 December 2018

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

Without qualifying our opinion above, we wish to draw your attention  to the Notes to the 
Financial  Statements  “Going  Concern”  on  page  28  of  the  financial  statements.    The 
matters  as  set  forth  in  the  “Going  Concern”  note,  indicates  the  existence  of  a  material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern and therefore, the  Group may  be unable  to realise  its assets  and discharge its 
liabilities in the normal course of business. 

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 while, 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  Concern  section,  we 
have  determined  the  matters  described  below  to  be  key  audit  matters  to  be 
communicated in our report. 

Key Audit Matter

Oil and Gas Properties
(refer notes 10)

How we addressed the Key Audit Matter

The Group assessed during the reporting 
period whether there is any indication that 
an  asset  may  be  impaired  or  previously 
recognised  impairment  charges,  should 
be reversed. 

Based on this assessment no impairment 
or reversal of impairment was recognised 
for the year ended 31 December 2018.

The  impairment  assessment  is  complex 
and  involves  significant  judgements  and

value  of  future  cash  flows  using  asset-
specific  discount  rates  and  a  “value  in 
use”  discounting  cash  flow  methodology 
as  disclosed  in  note  10  to  the  financial 
report.

We  have 
challenged  management's 
assumptions in the impairment assessment 
which was based on various key estimates, 
including future expected cash flows.  

We  ensured  that  key  inputs  in  the future 
expected  cash  flows  were  consistent  with 
other  financial  and  operational  information 
and assessed that the disclosures per Note 
10  were  appropriate  and  in  line  with  the 
Australian Accounting Standards.

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises 
the information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended  31 December 2018, but 
does not include the financial report and the 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  the  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. 

Page 58

61

ANNUAL REPORT 2018      |  
 
In preparing the financial  report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s 
ability 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 Company 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 and 
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  the  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 the 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 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 and 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. 

 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. 

62

Page 59

|      EON NRG LIMITED 
 Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial
report.  We  are  responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the
Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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  significant  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period  and  are 
therefore 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  reasonable  be  expected  to 
outweigh public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We  have  audited  the  Remuneration  Report  included  on  pages  15  to  20  of  the 
directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2018.

In our opinion, the remuneration Report of Eon NRG Limited and its controlled entities,
for  the  year  ended  31  December  2018,  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.
