JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased to present the 2013 Annual Report for Jupiter Energy Limited (Jupiter Energy or the Company). 

Over the past twelve months, the Company has continued to focus on the development of the Block 31 licence area 
with the drilling of three exploration wells in the southern extension of the permit (known locally as West Zhetybai) 
and with ongoing trial production from three wells in the northern area of the permit. More detail on this activity is 
contained in the Operations Review section of this report. 

The prospectivity of our 100% owned licence area continues to improve and on 11 September 2013 the Company 
announced the results from three independent reserve reports; the outstanding, post period end highlight was that 
the independent reserve reports for the Akkar East and West Zhetybai fields, prepared as part of the Kazakh State 
Reserves process, estimated that the combined C1+C2 reserves of these two fields now stands at approximately 
102.5 million barrels of recoverable oil, an almost threefold increase from the 2012 State approved C1+C2 figure of 
37 million barrels. 

The Competent Persons Report prepared by McDaniel and Associates estimated reserves from the mid Triassic as 
follows: 

•  Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls 

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the 
Net Present Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% 
was calculated as $US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax. 

Also during September 2013, the Company gained all the necessary approvals to complete its listing on the Kazakh 
Stock Exchange (KASE), meaning the Company’s shares will shortly be able to be traded on KASE. With Jupiter 
Energy’s  shares  already  listed  on  London’s  AIM  Market  (AIM)  and  the  Australian  Stock  Exchange  (ASX),  the 
Company now has access to investment communities in most of the key jurisdictions that have an interest in Central 
Asia. 

Our  two  major  shareholders,  the  Waterford  Group  and  Soyuzneftegas  Capital  Limited,  continue  to  show  great 
support  for  the  Company,  participating  in  both  the  August  2012  Rights  Issue  and  May  2013  issue  of  $US9m  of 
Series A Convertible Notes. Waterford Group also participated in the September 2013 Series B Convertible Notes. 
Their holdings remain at 29.5% and 19.8% respectively and the total number of shares on issue as of the date of this 
report totals 153,377,693. 

I  believe  that  the  Company  has  a  pivotal  12  months  ahead  of  it  with  a  need  to  focus  on  both  exploration  and 
appraisal drilling as well as to start the building of the requisite infrastructure to allow the Akkar East oilfield to move 
into Full Field Development phase – a key step in the Company achieving its first sale of export oil. 

The Board remains confident of the prospectivity of the licence area and that the two oilfields that have already been 
discovered on Block 31 can be both developed into significant producers. 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees and shareholders for their continued support 
over the past twelve months. 

Sincerely 

Geoff Gander

OPERATING REVIEW  

This section provides details on the operations of the past 12 months. The key operational events for the year were 
the drilling, completion and production testing of Jupiter Energy’s fifth, sixth and seventh operated wells (J-55, J-58 
and J-59) on the southern extension area of Block 31 and the ongoing trial production from the J-50, J-51 and J-52 
wells. Details on all these wells are outlined below as are details on other work carried out over the course of the 
year.  

Well Operations 

 J-50, J-51 and J-52 Trial Production  

The J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells all have their trial production licences in place and during year the Company received 
cash of $US7.549m from the sale of approximately 194,300 barrels of oil at an average price of $US38.85 per barrel. 

All  oil  sales  were  made  into  the  domestic  market,  as  is  required  under  Trial  Production,  and  made  through 
predominantly two local traders. All sales were made on a pre-paid basis, with oil collected by the traders from the 
well head. 

The Company announced during April 2013 that the J-50 well had been shut in and an application made for a new 
gas emissions permit. The improved production from J-50 after the installation of an Electric Submersible Pump in 
October 2012 meant that the gas emission limit originally approved for 2013 was exceeded earlier than expected. 

The  J-50  well  is currently  forecasted  to  return  to  production  in  January 2014.  In the meantime  the  J-51  and  J-52 
wells continue to produce at a cumulative rate of approximately 650 barrels of oil per day (bopd). 

J-53  

The  J-53  well  is  located  2.8 km  southeast  of  the  J-52  well.  The  well  has  been  shut  in awaiting  remedial  work  to 
address a water influx that has reduced the overall commercial performance.  

The work will be carried out a soon as is feasible and it is hoped to bring the well onto Trial Production during 2014.

JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

The Trial Production Licences for the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells have a term of three years and the next step 
post  Trial  Production  will  be  the  implementation  of  the  necessary  surface  infrastructure  required  to  develop  the 
discoveries for long term production. 

J-55 (Southern Extension) 

The J-55 well was the Company’s fifth exploration well and the second of its two 2012 commitment wells on Block 
31. The well is located 5.7 km southeast of the J-53 well and is the first well that the Company has drilled on the 
southern area extension. This area was granted to the Company in 2011 and is located to the south of the already 
discovered Akkar East oil accumulation.  

The  J-55  well  took  a  total  of  55  days  to  drill  and  reached  a  total  depth  of  3,400m  on  29  September  2012. 
Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all 
indicated  hydrocarbons  in  the  Triassic  reservoir.  The  open  hole  logs  indicated  good  levels  of  oil  saturation  and 
porosity.    

Analysis by independent consulting firm Reservoir Evaluation Services LLC (“RES”) confirmed some 112m of gross 
reservoir and approximately 60m of net pay at the Middle Triassic carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir 
objective in the well. The reservoir is located on a separate structure to the Akkar East field. Cut offs of 3.8% porosity 
and 50% oil saturation were used in the analysis, with a correction for mud filtrate displacement. 

Initial testing of the J-55 well produced oil with a high water cut post perforation and stimulation of both the T2B and 
T2A horizons; the origins of the water still needs to be determined with further remedial work.  

An application for a Trial Production licence will be submitted for the J-55 well as soon as the State Reserves Report 
for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur during the 
1st  quarter  of  2014.  An  application  for  further  testing  work  on  the  well  may  also  be  submitted  prior  to  the  Trial 
Production Licence being received. 

J-58 (Southern Extension) 

The J-58 well was the Company’s sixth exploration well and is located 3.8km southeast of the J-55 discovery well 
and is the second well that the Company drilled on the southern area extension. The well took a total of 37 days to 
drill and reached a total depth of 3,320m on 28 November 2012; the performance of the drilling operation was better 
than anticipated with the well reaching final depth ahead of schedule.  

Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all 
indicated hydrocarbons in the Triassic reservoir. The open hole logs indicated good levels of oil saturation and 
porosity.    

Analysis by independent consulting firm RES confirmed some 152.8m of gross reservoir and approximately 75.6m of 
net pay at the Middle Triassic T2B carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir objective in the well. In addition 
RES analysis also confirmed an additional 120.1m of gross reservoir and approximately 52m of net pay at the Middle 
Triassic T2A carbonate reservoir unit. Cut offs of 3.8% porosity and 50% oil saturation were used in the analysis, 
with a correction for mud filtrate displacement. 

Initial production testing of the J-58 well from a 5.5m unstimulated zone in the lower T2B Triassic over a 7 day period 
with a 9mm choke size, resulted in a flow rate of approximately 1,300 bopd. Testing of the T2A horizon was then 
carried out and results indicated that no additional inflow from this horizon was achieved. The well was brought back 
onto production from the T2B horizon for a short period and then shut in on the day that the approved Production 
Testing period expired. 

An  application  for  a  Trial  Production  Licence  will  be  submitted  for  the  J-58  well  as  soon  as  the  State  Reserves 
Report for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur 
during the 1st quarter of 2014. An application for further testing work on the well may also be submitted prior to the 
Trial Production Licence being received.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

J-59 (Southern Extension) 

The J-59 well was the Company’s seventh exploration well and is located 3.8km southeast of the J-58 discovery well 
and is the third well that the Company has drilled on the southern area extension, alongside the J-55 and J-58 wells.  

The well took a total of 52 days to drill and reached a total depth of 3,191m on 20 February 2013; the performance of 
the drilling operation was in line with expectations. Hydrocarbon shows while drilling, including a core in the reservoir 
zone, and subsequent open hole wireline logs all indicated hydrocarbons in the Triassic reservoir. The open hole 
logs indicated good levels of oil saturation and porosity.    

Analysis by independent consulting firm RES confirmed some 102.8m of gross reservoir and approximately 42.8m of 
net pay at the Middle Triassic T2B carbonate reservoir unit, the primary reservoir objective in the well. In addition 
RES  analysis  also  confirmed  an  additional  64.6m  of  gross  reservoir  and  approximately  40.4m  of  net  pay  at  the 
Middle  Triassic  T2A  carbonate  reservoir  unit.  Cut  offs  of  3.8%  porosity  and  50%  oil  saturation  were  used  in  the 
analysis, with a correction for mud filtrate displacement. 

The permit for testing of the T2B horizon of the J-59 well was issued prior to the completion of the extended testing 
program on the J-58 well, this overlap of 90 day testing permits resulted in less of the approved 90 day testing period 
for J-59 being used effectively. The completion and testing of J-59 was commenced in June 2013 and in the limited 
time available the key focus was to establish the parameters required to provide the required information to enable 
the completion of the State Reserves Report for the Southern Extension area. 

During  testing  oil  was  recovered  to  surface  and  bottom  hole  samples  taken  before  the  90  day  production  period 
expired.  

An  application  for  a  Trial  Production  Licence  will  be  submitted  for  the  J-59  well  as  soon  as  the  State  Reserves 
Report for the Southern Extension area has been approved by the relevant authorities. This is expected to occur 
during the 1st half of 2014. An application for further testing work on the well may also be submitted prior to the Trial 
Production Licence being received. 

Independent Reserve Reports 

The Company is required to complete a Final Reserves Report for the Akkar East oilfield as part of the process of 
applying for a Full Field Development licence. This report must be prepared by an approved, independent, Kazakh 
institute and submitted to the relevant authorities for approval. 

In  addition,  as  part  of  the  Trial  Production  application  process  for  the  J-55,  J-58  and  J-59  wells,  a  Preliminary 
Reserves Report needs to be completed for the Southern Extension area. This report must also be prepared by an 
approved, independent, Kazakh institute and submitted to the relevant authorities for approval. 

Both these reports are prepared using the Kazakh classification system of reserves which has been developed from 
the Russian reserves system which is based on the analysis of geological attributes. 

In December 2012, the Company also appointed an independent reserves engineering company to undertake an 
audit of the producing Mid Triassic T2B horizon using the Petroleum Resource Management System (“PRMS”) 
classification system. Under this classification system, reserves are defined as those quantities of oil which are 
estimated to be commercially recovered from a known accumulation from a given date forward.  

The  results  of  these  three  reports  were  released  to  shareholders  on  11  September  2013  and  are  detailed  in  the 
“Significant Events after the Balance Sheet Date” section below.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

Forward Plan for Drilling Activity 

The  Company  is  currently  reviewing  the  funding  plan  for  the  coming  twelve  months.  Assuming  the  funding  is  in 
place, it is expected that there will be a combination of exploration, appraisal and early development wells drilled. 

The next exploration well (J-54) is a large structural closure mapped using 3D seismic to the north of the producing 
East Akkar field. The prospect is believed to be a separate accumulation and the prognosis is that it is structurally up 
dip of Akkar East. The Company estimates a potential resource of over 20 million barrels of oil associated with this 
prospect.    

The Company considers that the main risk associated with the proposed J-54 well is an adequate top seal to trap 
oil.  Assuming success, it is believed that the reservoir quality and flow rates should be similar to that found in the 
Akkar East field. The current plan is to drill the J-54 well during the 1st quarter of 2014. 

Details on the Exploration and Production Licences 

The Company expects to submit an application for a further two year extension to the Block 31 Exploration Licence 
in 2014. The Exploration Licence had an initial 6 year term (ending December 2012) and already has had its 1st two 
year extension approved to December 2014. This further extension, should it be approved, will take the exploration 
period through to December 2016. 

The  Block  31  contract  also  has  the  right  to  a  25  year  Production  Licence  and  it  is  the  Company’s  intention  to 
continue exploring on the southern section of Block 31 whilst also applying, during 2015, for a Production Licence for 
the already discovered Akkar East field in the northern section of Block 31.  

Prospectivity 

As outlined in the Forward Plan for Drilling Activity section of this report, the drilling of J-54 during the 1st quarter of 
calendar 2014 has the potential, assuming success, for an a further upgrade of Block 31 reserves. The Company 
believes the prospectivity of Jupiter Energy’s Block 31 continues to improve and the Board are confident that further 
additions to the reserves are achievable. 

Production 

As  outlined  above,  the  J-50,  J-51,  J-52  and  J-53  wells  already  have  their  respective  Trial  Production  Licences 
approved and it is expected that wells J-55, J-58 and J-59 will have their application for Trial Production licences 
approved during 2014. 

Total  barrels  sold  under  Trial  Production  during  the  2012/13  financial  year  totalled  194,300  for  revenues  of 
A$5,778,057 This represents a 443% increase in revenues achieved in the 2011/12 financial year ($1,063,086). 

Board and Staffing 

An integrated operating team that has proven in-country experience as well as the capacity to operate major assets 
is a critical component to success in Kazakhstan. The continued building of such a team has been a major priority 
over the course of several years and the past 12 months has been no exception.  

The Board is confident that the Company is well prepared for continued growth over the coming years.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE  

Independent Reserve Reports 

On 11 September 2013 the Company announced the details of three independent reserve estimations that had been 
carried out on the various accumulations on the Block 31 permit. 

Two of these reports were State Reserve Reports prepared by independent consulting firm RES. The first of these 
reports  was  the  Akkar  East  Reserves  Report  and  this  report  was  prepared  as  part  of  the  process  of  moving  the 
Akkar  East  field  into  Full  Field  Development.  This  review  of  the  Akkar  East  field  was  a  follow  on  to  the  2012 
Preliminary Reserves report prepared by RES submitted as part of the process required to enable the J-50, J-51, J-
52 and J-53 wells to be granted their respective Trial Production Licences (TPL’s). The Preliminary Reserves report 
was approved by the Kazakh authorities in June 2012.  

The second report was the Southern Extension area (known locally as West Zhetybai) Preliminary Reserves Report 
and this report is the first step towards the granting of TPL’s for the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells. 

In summary, the Akkar East accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells and the Oil-In-
Place (OIP) for this area has been estimated at ~129 mmbbls with recoverable reserves estimated at ~32.6 mmbbls. 
The  C1  reserves  have  been  estimated  at  ~10.7  mmbbls  and  C2  reserves  at  ~21.9  mmbbls.  The  recoverable 
reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%. 

The J-50 well is part of the Akkar North accumulation and the estimated recoverable reserves for this area are ~8.6 
mmbbls (C1 - ~4 mmbbls and C2 - ~4.6 mmbbls) bringing the total recoverable reserves in the area delineated by 
the wells J-50, 51, 52 and 53 to ~41.2 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~14.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~26.5 mmbbls. 

Estimated reserves from the T31, T32 (both formerly known as the Z Sand), T2A and T2B horizons were used in 
these  calculations.  The  Akkar  East  Reserves  Report  has  now  been  submitted  to  the  relevant  authorities;  the 
approval process is expected to take three months. 

The West Zhetybai accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells and reserves have 
been evaluated for the T31, T32, T2A and T2B horizons. The OIP for this area has been estimated at ~232 mmbbls 
(from all four horizons) with recoverable reserves estimated at ~61.2 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated 
at  ~2.3  mmbbls  and  C2  reserves  at  ~58.9  mmbbls;  the  recoverable  reserves  are  based  on  a  recovery  factor  of 
27.2%. 

The higher proportion of C2 to C1 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) 
general appraisal of the area which may include the drilling of additional wells. 

RES has submitted the West Zhetybai Preliminary Reserves Report to the relevant authorities; approval is expected 
to take three months. 

The  third  report  was  a  Competent  Persons  Report  (CPR)  that  was  prepared  using  the  Society  of  Petroleum 
Engineers Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system; reserves are defined as those 
quantities of oil which are estimated to be commercially recoverable from a known accumulation from a given date 
forward. 

McDaniel  &  Associates  (McDaniel)  were  engaged  to  complete  this  independent  reserves  audit  of  only  the  mid 
Triassic horizon as identified by wells J-50, J-51, J-52, J-53, J-55, J-58 and J-59. 

One of the underlying differences between the Kazakh State Reserves classification system and PRMS classification 
system is that PRMS also considers the commercial uncertainties rather than only geological attributes and therefore 
the lack of established commercial oil flow from the J-53, J-55 and J-59 wells resulted in the reserve calculations 
based primarily on production from the T2B horizon from wells J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-58.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

The results, by reserve category, were: 

•  Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls 

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the 
Net Present Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% 
was calculated as $US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax. 

Shareholders are encouraged to read the 11 September 2013 announcement in full as it contains more details on 
the  differing  reserve  classification  methodologies  used  by  RES  in  preparing  the  State  Reserve  Reports  and  by 
McDaniel in preparing the CPR.  

In summary, the results of both independent reserve audits confirmed the prospectivity of the Block 31 permit. 

Capital Raising 

On  23  September  2013,  the  Company  announced  details  regarding  the  issue  of  $US6.5million  of  Series  B 
Convertible Notes, issued on 20 September 2013. The key terms of these Convertible Notes were as follows: 

•  Term: 3 years 
•  Conversion Price: $US1.25 per share (maximum of 5.2 million shares may be issued) 
•  Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, with the interest accruing from and including the Issue Date until the earlier 

of the Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note. 

•  The  Convertible  Notes  may  be  redeemed  by  Jupiter  at  any  time  with  a  minimum  of  12  months  interest 

payable if the Convertible Notes are redeemed within the 1st 12 months of their Term 

•  The  issue  of  the  Convertible  Notes  is  carried  out  under  Jupiter’s  15%  capacity  in  accordance  with  ASX 

Listing Rule 7.1 

The breakdown of subscriptions for the Convertible Notes is as follows: 

•  Waterford Petroleum Limited: $US1.5m 
•  Mid Ocean Limited $US0.5m 
•  Mobile Energy Limited: $US4m 
•  Other Private Investors: $US0.5m 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was $US3.305m, following the repayment of $US3m of Promissory Notes 
held by Mobile Energy Limited and the payment of a fee of 3% of the proceeds of the raising ($US195,000) by the 
Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding.   

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising will be used for the following purposes: 

•  Remedial work on J-53: ~$US150,000; 
•  Further testing of the J-59 well: ~$US350,000 and 
•  General working capital: ~$US2.805m. 

The holders of Series A Convertible Notes issued on 31 May 2013 have also agreed to convert their notes to Series 
B Convertible Notes, effective from 20 September 2013. 

This means that all interest payable on the entire $US15.5m Convertible Notes now outstanding will be deferred and 
accrue from and including the Issue Date of the Series B Convertible Notes until the earlier of the Conversion Date, 
Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note.

This remuneration report outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the 
Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of 
this  report,  key  management  personnel  (KMP)  of  the  Group  are  defined  as  those  persons  having  authority  and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or

Remuneration Philosophy 

The  remuneration  policy  of  the  Group  has  been  designed  to  align  Directors  and  executives  interests  with  the 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long term incentives 
based on a key performance area – the material improvement in share price performance. The Board of the Group 
believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate to attract and retain the best executives and Directors to run and 
manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, executives and shareholders. 

The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives 
of the Company is as follows: 

* 

* 

*  

The  remuneration  policy,  setting  the  terms  and  conditions  for  the  executive  directors  and  other  senior 
executives,  was  developed  by  the  Board  after  a  review  of  similar  listed  and  unlisted  companies  with 
activities  in  overseas  jurisdictions  and  taking  into  account  the  experience  and  skill  set  required  to 
successfully  develop  operations  in  these  jurisdictions from early stage  development.  The  Company  does 
not  have  a  remuneration  committee.  The  Board  is  of  the  opinion  that  due  to  the  nature  and  size  of  the 
Company, the functions performed by a Remuneration Committee can be adequately handled by the full 
Board. 
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), 
superannuation, fringe benefits and performance incentives. 
The  Board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Company's  performance,  executive 
performance  and  comparable  information  from  industry  sectors  and  other  listed  companies  in  similar 
industries. 

Executives are eligible to participate in the Company’s long term performance rights plan.

JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued) 

The  executive  Directors  and  executives  receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  as  required  by  the 
government which is currently 9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 

The  remuneration  paid  to  Directors  and  executives  is  valued  at  the  cost  to  the  Company  and  expensed.  Shares 
given to Directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the 
amount paid by the Director or executive. Options are valued using the Black & Scholes methodology. Performance 
Rights are valued  using  a hybrid  employee  share  option model.  The  hybrid model  incorporates  a trinomial  option 
valuation and a Monte Carlo simulation. 

Remuneration Structure 

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 

Objective 
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and 
retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. 

Structure 
The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time, 
commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their 
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought 
when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to 
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Total remuneration for all non-executive Directors, is not to 
exceed  $350,000 per  annum as  approved  by shareholders  at  the  Annual General Meeting  held  on  15  November 
2010. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to performance of the Company. However, to align Directors' 
interests with shareholder interests, the non-executive Directors have been issued Performance Rights which have 
vesting  conditions  that  are  specifically  linked  to  share  price  performance.  Non-executive  Directors  are  also 
encouraged to hold shares in the company. 

The  amount  of  aggregate  remuneration  sought  to  be  approved  by  shareholders  and  the  manner  in  which  it  is 
apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of 
comparable companies and the potential value provided via the allocation of Performance Rights when undertaking 
the annual review process. 

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. Directors who are called upon to perform extra 
services beyond the director’s ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services. 

Executive Remuneration 

Objective 

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities within the Group so as to:  

- 
- 
- 
- 

reward executives for Company, business unit and individual performance; 
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; 
link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and 
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued) 

Structure 

In  determining  the  level  and  make-up  of  executive  remuneration,  the  Board  reviews  remuneration  packages 
provided by similar listed and unlisted companies with activities in overseas jurisdictions and taking into account the 
experience  and  skill  set  required  to  successfully  develop  operations  in  these  jurisdictions  from  early  stage 
development as well as the salary levels of local workers in that jurisdiction. It is the Board’s policy that employment 
contracts are entered into with the Chief Executive Officer and all key management personnel. 

Fixed Remuneration 

The fixed remuneration of executives is comprised of a base salary and superannuation. The fixed remuneration of 
executives is reviewed annually. 

Variable remuneration – Short Term Incentives (STI) 

The Group operates a STI program for its Kazakh based employees, which is based on a cash bonus subject to the 
attainment of clearly defined Branch and individual measures.  

Actual  STI  payments  awarded  to  each  employee  depends  on  the  extent  to  which  specific  targets  are  met.  The 
targets consist of a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) covering financial and non-financial Branch and 
individual measures of performance. 

Directors are not eligible for participation in the STI program. 

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentives (LTI) 

Objective 

The objectives of long term incentives are to: 

- 
- 

- 

- 

align executives remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth; 
recognise  the  ability  and  efforts  of  the  Directors,  employees  and  consultants  of  the  Company  who  have 
contributed to the success of the Company and to provide them with rewards where deemed appropriate; 
provide  an  incentive  to  the  Directors,  employees  and  consultants  to  achieve  the  long  term  objectives  of  the 
Company and improve the performance of the Company; and 
attract  persons  of  experience  and  ability  to  employment  with  the  Company  and  foster  and  promote  loyalty 
between the Company and its Directors, employees and consultants. 

Structure 

Long  term  incentives  granted  to  Directors  and  senior  executives  are  delivered in  the  form  of  Performance  Rights, 
issued under the Performance Rights Plan. 

Company Performance 

Due  to  the  current  embryonic  stage  of  the  Company’s  growth  it  is  not  appropriate  at  this  time  to  evaluate  the 
Company’s  financial  performance  using  generally  accepted  measures  such  as  EBITDA  and  profitability;  this 
assessment will be developed over the next few years.

Relationship of Reward and Performance 

The value of Performance Rights will represent a significant portion of an executive’s salary package. The ultimate 
value to the executives of the Performance Rights depends on the share price of Jupiter Energy Ltd.   The share 
price  is  the  key  performance  criteria  for  the  long  term  incentive  as  the  realised  value  arising  from  Performance 
Rights  issued  is  dependent  upon  an  increase  in  the  share  price  to  above  the  minimum  vesting  price  for  the 
Performance Rights. 

Below is a summary of performance conditions for Performance Rights:  

The  number  of  Performance Rights  vest  in  proportion  to the  percentage increase  in  share  price above  $0.735  at 
vesting date. If the share price is less than $0.919 (minimum vesting price) no Performance Rights vest. For 100% of 
the Performance Rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs to reach $1.47.   

In respect of the Vesting Condition, the % increase in the Share price of the Company will be calculated by reference 
to the volume weighted average price of Shares in the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Expiry 
Date  (31  December  2013).  No  Performance  Rights  vest  if  the  calculated  share  price  is  less  than  the  minimum 
vesting price at vesting date. The minimum vesting price was set based on 25% premium to the Company’s share 
price at the original grant date.

Compensation Options: Granted and vested during the year ended 30 June 2013 

During the 2013 and 2012 year, there were no options granted. 866,669 unlisted options lapsed on 31 December 
2012. No options, listed or unlisted, were exercised during the year. 

Share issued on Exercise of Compensation Options 

There  were  no  shares  issued  on  the  exercise  of  compensation  options  during  the  financial  years  ended  30  June 
2013 or 30 June 2012. 

Performance Rights 

On 9 November 2012, 5,066,666 Performance Rights were approved by shareholders to Directors and executives. 
The  number  of  Performance  Rights  vest  in  proportion  to  the  percentage  increase  in  share  price  at  vesting  date 
$0.919 (minimum vesting price). For 100% of the Performance Rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs 
to reach $1.47. In respect of the Vesting Condition, the percentage increase in the Share price of the Company will 
be  calculated  by  reference  to  the  volume  weighted  average  price  of  Shares  in  the  20  consecutive  trading  days 
immediately  prior  to  the  Vesting  Date  (31st  December  2013).  No  Performance  Rights  vest  if  the  calculated  share 
price is less than the minimum vesting price at vesting date.  

The  fair  value  of  Performance  Rights  granted  to  Directors  is  estimated  as  at  the  grant  date  using  a  Monte  Carlo 
simulation  option  pricing  model  taking  into  account  the  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  the  instruments  were 
granted.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  Basis of Preparation 

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of 
the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board.  The  financial  report  has  also  been  prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis  except  for  certain 
financial instruments measured at fair value.  The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

The amounts contained within this report have been rounded to nearest $1 (where rounding is applicable) under the 
option available to the Company under ASIC Class Order 98/100. 

Going Concern 

At 30 June 2013, the Group has a net working capital deficiency of $2.8 million, which includes Promissory Notes of $3.28 
million repayable on 31 December 2013. Subsequent to year end, the Group raised US$6.5m through the issue of Series 
B Convertible Notes with a coupon of 12% and an exercise price of $1.25 and expiring 31 September 2016. The net cash 
raised was US$3.5m before costs, as the Promissory Notes were converted to Convertible Notes. 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with the Directors of the opinion that 
the Group can meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  as  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Fair Value Measurement 

AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all 
entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and 
Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for 
consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation - 
Special Purpose Entities. 

The new control model broadens the situations when an entity 
is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes 
new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, 
including when acting as a manager may give control, the 
impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a 
majority voting rights may give control. 

Consequential amendments were also made to this and 
other standards via AASB 2011-7 and AASB 2012-10. 

AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity's 
interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and 
structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced 
about the judgments made by management to determine 
whether control exists, and to require summarised information 
about joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and 
subsidiaries with non-controlling interests. 

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for 
determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, 
but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value 
when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this 
definition may result in different fair values being determined 
for the relevant assets. 

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all 
assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes 
information about the assumptions made and the qualitative 
impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. 

Consequential amendments were also made to other 
standards via AASB 2011-8.

Employee Benefits 

The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the 
accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes 
the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the 
liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in full with 
actuarial gains and losses being recognised in other 
comprehensive income. It also revised the method of 
calculating the return on plan assets.

after the reporting date.

Summary 

AASB 9 

Financial Instruments 

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and 
measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by 
AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for 
financial liabilities. 
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for 
classification and measurement of financial assets compared 
with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are 
described below. 

(a)  Financial assets that are debt instruments will be 
classified based on (1) the objective of the entity's 
business model for managing the financial assets; (2) 
the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. 
(b)  Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to 

present gains and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other 
comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these 
investments that are a return on investment can be 
recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or 
recycling on disposal of the instrument. 

(c) 

Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair 
value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing 
so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or 
recognition inconsistency that would arise from 
measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains 
and losses on them, on different bases. 

(d)  Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities 
the change in fair value is to be accounted for as 
follows: 

► 

► 

The change attributable to changes in credit risk 
are presented in other comprehensive income 
(OCI) 
The remaining change is presented in profit or loss 

If 
this  approach  creates  or  enlarges  an  accounting 
mismatch in  the profit or loss, the effect of  the changes in 
credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. 

Further amendments were made by AASB 2012-6 which 
amends the mandatory effective date to annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. AASB 2012-6 
also modifies the relief from restating prior periods by 
amending AASB 7 to require additional disclosures on 
transition to AASB 9 in some circumstances.  

Consequential amendments were also made to other 
standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 
2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(c)  Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Jupiter Energy Limited and its subsidiaries 
as at 30 June each year ('the Group').   

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies 
so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  their  activities.  The  existence  and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently 
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity. 

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

Subsidiaries  and  special  purpose  entities  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  obtained  by  the 
Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. 

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances 
and  transactions,  including  unrealised  profits  arising  from  intra-group  transactions,  have  been  eliminated  in  full.  
Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. 

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated 
from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.  Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the 
consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which Jupiter Energy 
Limited has control. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of 
accounting  involves  recognising  at  acquisition  date,  separately  from  goodwill,  the  identifiable  assets  acquired,  the 
liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquisition.  The  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  the 
liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values. 

(d)  Significant accounting estimates and assumptions 

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of 
future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Share-based payment transactions 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black and Scholes model, 
trinomial and Monte Carlo using the assumptions detailed in note 21. 

Exploration and evaluation 
The  Group's  accounting  policy  for  exploration  and  evaluation  is  set  out  in  note  2(f).  The  application  of  this  policy 
necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, 
in  particular  the  assessment of  whether  economic  quantities  of  reserves may  be  found.    Any  such,  estimates  and 
assumptions may change as new information becomes available.  If, after having capitalised expenditure under the 
Group’s policy, management concludes that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or 
sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Provision for restoration 
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included 
in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of plant, equipment and building 
structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the permits. Such costs have 
been  determined  using  estimates  of  future  costs,  current  legal  requirements  and  technology  on  an  undiscounted 
basis. 

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site 
restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and 
future  legislation.  Accordingly  the  costs  have  been  determined  on  the  basis  that  the  restoration  will  be  completed 
within one year of abandoning the site.  

Units of production depreciation of oil and gas properties 
Oil  and  gas  properties  are  depreciated  using  the  units  of  production  (UOP)  method  over  total  proved  developed 
hydrocarbon  reserves.  This  results  in  a  depreciation/amortisation  charge  proportional  to  the  depletion  of  the 
anticipated remaining production from the field.  

Each  items’  life,  which  is  assessed  annually,  has  regard  to  both  its  physical  life  limitations  and  to  present 
assessments  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  of  the  field  at  which  the  asset  is  located.  These  calculations 
require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves. The calculation of the 
UOP rate of depreciation could be impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current 
forecast production based on total proved reserves. Changes to proved reserves could arise due to changes in the 
factors or assumptions used in estimating reserves, including:  

•  The  effect  on  proved  reserves  of  differences  between  actual  commodity  prices  and  commodity  price 

assumptions  

Or  

•  Unforeseen operational issues  

Changes are accounted for prospectively.  

Recoverability of oil and gas properties 
The  Group  assesses  each  asset  or  cash  generating  unit  (CGU)  (excluding  goodwill,  which  is  assessed  annually 
regardless of indicators) every reporting period to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an 
indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the 
higher  of  the  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  These  assessments  require  the  use  of  estimates  and 
assumptions such as long-term oil prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), 
discount rates, operating costs, future capital requirements, decommissioning costs, exploration potential, reserves 
operating performance (which includes production and sales volumes). These estimates and assumptions are subject 
to risk and uncertainty. Therefore, there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will impact these projections, 
which may impact the recoverable amount of assets and/or CGUs 

Production start date 
The group assesses each well to determine when the well moves into the production stage.  This is when the well is 
substantially  completed  and  ready  for  intended  use.    The  group  considers  various  criteria  in  determining  the 
production  start  date,  including  but  not  limited  to,  results  of  well  testing,  the  ability  of  the  well  to  sustain  ongoing 
production, installation of the relevant well infrastructure and receiving the relevant regulatory approvals.   

When  the  well  moves  into  the  production  stage  the  capitalisation  of  certain  development  costs  ceases  and  costs 
incurred are expensed as a production cost.  It also at this point when that the well commences depreciation.  Any 
proceeds received from oil sales prior to the production start date as part of any well testing, are capitalised to the 
asset.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Fair  value  is  determined  as  the  amount  that  would  be  obtained  from  the  sale  of  the  asset  in  an  arm’s  length 
transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Fair value for oil and gas assets is generally determined as 
the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  arising  from  the  continued  use  of  the  assets,  which  includes 
estimates such as the cost of future expansion plans and eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent 
market participant may take into account. Cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Management has 
assessed  its  CGUs  as  being  an  individual  field,  which  is  the  lowest  level  for  which  cash  inflows  are  largely 
independent of those of other assets. 

(e)  Plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment 
losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the 
part is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of 
the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation. All other repairs and maintenance are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.  

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

Plant and equipment – over 3 to 10 years  

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
financial year end.  

Disposal  
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits 
are expected to be derived from its use or disposal. 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition 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.  

(f) 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These 
costs  are  only  carried  forward  to  the  extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped  through  the  successful 
development  of  the  area  or  where  activities  in  the  area  have  not  yet  reached  a  stage  that  permits  reasonable 
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.  A regular review is undertaken of each area of 
interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. 

Costs of evaluation, seismic and unsuccessful exploration in the area of interest are expensed as incurred even if 
activities in this area of interest are continuing. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in 
full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.  

When a discovered oil or gas field enters the development phase the accumulated exploration and evaluation 
expenditure is transferred to oil and gas assets – assets in development.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(g)  Oil and Gas Properties 

Oil and gas properties are usually single oil or gas fields being developed for future production or which are in the 
production phase. Where several individual oil fields are to be produced through common facilities, the individual oil 
field and the associated production facilities are managed and reported as a single oil and gas asset. 

Assets in development 
When the technical and commercial feasibility of an undeveloped oil or gas field has been demonstrated, the field 
enters its development phase. The costs of oil and gas assets in the development phase are separately accounted for 
as tangible assets and include past exploration and evaluation costs, development drilling and plant and equipment 
and  any  associated  land  and  buildings.  When  commercial  operation  commences  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  as  tangible  assets  and  include  past 
exploration and evaluation costs, pre-production development costs and the ongoing costs of continuing to develop 
reserves  for  production  and  to  expand  or  replace  plant  and  equipment  and  any  associated  land  and  buildings. 
Producing assets are depreciated over proved reserves on a unit of production basis. 

(h) 

Impairment of assets 
At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable 
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the 
asset’s  carrying  value.  Any  excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  value  over  its  recoverable  amount  is  expensed  to  the 
income statement. 

(i) 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.  

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.  Bad debts are written 
off when identified. 

(j)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with 
an original maturity of three months or less. 

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as 
defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(k) 

Inventories 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price 
in the ordinary course of business less any estimated selling costs. 

Cost includes those costs incurred in bringing each component of inventory to its present location and condition.

(l) 

Trade and other payables 
Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised  costs  and  due  to  their  short-term  nature  are  not 
discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial 
year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase 
of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

(m)  Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 139 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of 
its financial liabilities at initial recognition. 

All  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  in  the  case  of  loans  and  borrowings,  plus  directly 
attributable  transaction  costs.    The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  trade  and  other  payables,  loans  and 
borrowings and derivative financial instruments. 

Derivative Financial Instruments 
Derivatives are fair valued using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s 
length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a 
discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. 

(n) 

Share-based payment transactions  

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to directors and executives. 

Options 
The fair value of options granted to directors and executives is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a 
corresponding  increase  in  contributed  equity.  The  fair  value  is  measured  at  grant  date  and  recognised  over  the 
vesting period during which the directors and/or executives becomes entitled to the options. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the 
term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, 
the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected divided yield and the 
risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

Performance Rights 
The cost of performance rights are measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The 
fair  value  is  determined  using  a  Monte  Carlo  methodology,  which  considers  the  incorporation  of  market  based 
hurdles.  Non  market  conditions  are  not  factored  into  the  fair  value  of  the  performance  rights  at  grant.  Probability 
factors are assigned to the vesting expense as to whether non market conditions will be met.

Sales revenue 
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer

against the carrying value of the asset, rather than recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

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. 

(p)  Convertible Note 

A Convertible Note is split into two components: a debt component and a component representing the embedded 
derivatives in the Convertible Note. The debt component represents the Group’s liability for future interest coupon 
payments and the redemption amount. The embedded derivatives represent the value of the option that note holders 
have to convert into ordinary shares in the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(q) 

Income tax 
The consolidated entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based 
on the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.  No deferred income tax will be 
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no 
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred  tax  is  calculated  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the  period  when  the  asset  is  realised  or 
liability  is  settled.    Deferred  tax  is  credited  in  the  income  statement  except  where  it  relates  to  items  that  may  be 
credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available 
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no 
adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive 
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility 
imposed by the law. 

(r)  Other taxes 

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

•  where  the  GST  incurred  on  a  purchase  of  goods  and  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation 
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense item as applicable; and 

• 

receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 

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

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

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

(s)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary  shares  are classified  as  equity.  Incremental costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of new  shares  or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(t) 

Earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude 
any  costs  of servicing equity (other  than  dividends)  and  preference share  dividends,  divided  by  the  weighted 
average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: 

• 
• 

• 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; 
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have 
been recognised as expenses; and 
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the 
dilution of potential ordinary shares; 

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for 
any bonus element. 

(u)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  embodying  economic  benefits  will  be  required  to  settle  the 
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.  

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The 
expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.  

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future 
cash flows at  a pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current  market assessments  of the  time value of  money  and,  where 
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance 
cost. 

Employee leave benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and salaries,  including  non-monetary benefits,  annual  leave and  accumulating sick  leave 
expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  of  the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  provisions  in  respect  of 
employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are 
measured at the rates paid or payable. 

Restoration 
Costs  of  site  restoration  are  provided  over  the  life  of  the  facility  from  when  exploration  commences  and  are 
included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of plant, equipment 
and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the permits. 
Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on 
an undiscounted basis. 

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site 
restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations 
and  future  legislation.  Accordingly  the  costs  have  been  determined  on  the  basis  that  the  restoration  will  be 
completed within one year of abandoning the site.

(v) 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

(i) Functional and presentation currency 
Both  the  functional  and  presentation  currency  of  Jupiter  Energy  Limited  and  its  Australian  subsidiaries  are 
Australian dollars ($). The Singapore subsidiaries' functional currency is United States Dollars which is translated 
to the presentation currency. The functional currency of the Branch of the Singapore subsidiary is Tenge (see 
below for consolidated reporting). 

(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. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 

(iii) Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency 
The results of the Singapore subsidiaries are translated into Australian Dollars (presentation currency) as at the 
date of each transaction. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. 

Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in 
equity 

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  the  net  investment  in  the  Singapore 
subsidiaries and its Branch are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a Singapore subsidiary was 
sold, the proportionate share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income. 

(w)  Segments 

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn 
revenue and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of 
the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors (the chief operating 
decision makers) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance 
and  for  which  discrete  financial  information  is  available.  Management  will  also  consider  other  factors  in 
determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information 
presented to the executive management team. 

Operating  segments  are  identified  based  on  the  information  provided  to  the  chief  operating  decision  makers, 
being the Board of Directors.  Currently the Group has only one operating segment, being the Group.

(x)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing  costs  consist  of  interest  and  other  costs  that  an  entity  incurs  in  connection  with  the  borrowing  of 
funds.  

Where  funds  are  borrowed  specifically  to  finance  a  project,  the  amount  capitalised  represents  the  actual 
borrowing costs incurred. Where surplus funds are available for a short term out of money borrowed specifically 
to  finance  a  project,  the  income  generated  from  the temporary  investment  of amounts is  also capitalised  and 
deducted  from  the  total  capitalised  borrowing  cost.  Where  the  funds  used  to  finance  a  project  form  part  of 
general borrowings, the amount capitalised is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to relevant 
general borrowings of the Group during the period.  

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.  

Even  though  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  can  be  qualifying  assets,  they  generally  do  not  meet  the 
―probable economic benefits test and also are rarely debt funded. Any related borrowing costs are therefore 
generally recognised in profit or loss in the period they are incurred.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise receivables, borrowings, payables, cash and short-term deposits. 

Risk Exposures and Responses 

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group’s operations.  The Group has various other 
financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main 
risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and credit 
risk.  

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews the risks identified 
below, including the setting of limits for trading in derivatives, hedging cover of foreign currency and interest rate risk, credit 
allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections. 

Interest rate risk 

The  Group’s  exposure  to  market  risk  for  changes  in  interest  rates  is  only  on  short  term  deposits  and  cash  and  cash 
equivalents.  

At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk:

Credit  risk  represents  the  loss  that  would  be  recognised  if  counterparties  fail  to  perform  as 
contracted. 

Part of the Group's receivables balances are represented by GST input tax credits, which are 
received on a quarterly basis, and deposits held in trust in respect of leases for office premises. 

With respect to credit risk arising from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash 
and cash equivalents and trade receivables, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from 
default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these 
instruments. 

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. 

Liquidity Risk 

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through 
use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, finance leases and hire purchase contracts. 

The contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities are shown in the table below. 
Undiscounted cash flows for the respective years are presented.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) 

Management and the Board monitor the Group’s liquidity on the basis of expected cash flow. The information that is 
prepared by senior management and reviewed by the Board includes monthly and annual cash flow budgets. 

Fair value 
The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise: 
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets. 
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). 
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. 

All of the Group’s other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost, where the carrying value approximates the fair value. 
The fair value of the derivative was determined using the level 2 method.  

Equity Price Risk 

The  Group has  exposure  in equity  risk through the  convertible  notes,  which  is  susceptible  to  market  price  risk  arising  from 
uncertainties about future values of the Company’s share price. 

At the reporting date, the exposure to market price risk at fair value was $763,177. A decrease in the company’s share price by 
10%  could  have  an  impact  of  approximately  $76,318  on  profit  and  loss  or  equity  attributable  to  the  Group,  depending  on 
whether  the  decline  is  significant  or  prolonged.  An  increase  in  the company’s share  price  by 10%  could have an  impact  of 
approximately $76,318 on profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether the decline is significant or 
prolonged.

taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose. 

The potential deferred tax asset will only be realised if: 

(a)  The relevant Company derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the asset to 
be realised, or the asset can be utilised by another Company in the consolidated entity in accordance  with Division 
170 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997; 

(b) The relevant Company and/or consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by 

the Law; and 

(c) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the relevant Company and/or consolidated entity in realising the asset.

OTHER FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued) 

The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was $US5.7m, following the repayment of US$3m of the December 2013 Promissory 
Notes  held  by  Mobile  Energy  Limited  and  the  payment  of  a  fee  of  3%  of  the  proceeds  of  the  raising  ($US270,000)  by  the 
Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding.  

Subsequent to year end, the Convertible Notes (Series A) were converted into Convertible Notes (Series B), refer to note 27 for 
further details of the terms and conditions. 

Valuation of Convertible Notes  

The Notes have an embedded derivative in the form of a call option for the holder to convert the Notes at US$1.25 into Jupiter 
ordinary shares.  

The convertible equity feature of the Notes has been separated from the liability component of the Notes for financial reporting 
purposes. The call option to convert the notes into shares does not meet the definition of an equity instrument, as the exercise 
price is denominated in foreign currency to the company’s functional currency. The convertible call option is classified as a 
Derivative liability and measured at fair value through the income statement. 

The Derivative component of the Notes was valued using the Black Scholes option valuation methodology. The Black Scholes 
option  valuation  methodology  calculates  the  expected  benefit  from  acquiring  the  shares  outright  less  the  present  value  of 
paying the exercise price for the options at expected exercise date.

Performance Rights 

The Jupiter Energy Performance Rights Plan was established whereby Jupiter Energy Limited may, at the discretion of the 
Jupiter  Energy  Limited  Board,  grant  performance  rights  over  unissued  shares  of  Jupiter  Energy  Limited  to  directors, 
executives, employees and consultants of the consolidated entity.  The rights are issued for nil consideration, will not be quoted 
on the ASX, cannot be transferred and are granted at the discretion of the Jupiter Energy Board. 

The Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the November 2009 Annual General Meeting. 

On 9 November 2012, 5,066,666 performance rights were approved by shareholders to directors and executives. The number 
of performance rights vest in proportion to the percentage increase in share price at vesting date $0.919 (minimum vesting 
price). For 100% of the performance rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs to reach $1.47. In respect of the 
Vesting Condition, the percentage increase in the Share price of the Company will be calculated by reference to the volume 
weighted average price of Shares in the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Vesting Date (31st December 
2013). No performance rights vest if the calculated share price is less than the minimum vesting price at vesting date.  

The  fair  value  of  performance  rights  granted  to  directors  is  estimated  as  at  the  grant  date  using  a  Monte  Carol  simulation 
option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 

The following table lists the inputs to the models for the period ended 30 June 2013:

EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE 

Reserve Upgrade 

On 11 September 2013 the Company announced the details of three independent reserve estimations that had been carried 
out on the various accumulations on the Block 31 permit. 

Two of these reports were State Reserve Reports prepared by independent consulting firm RES. The first of these reports was 
the Akkar East Reserves Report and this report was prepared as part of the process of moving the Akkar East field into Full 
Field Development. This review of the Akkar East field was a follow on to the 2012 Preliminary Reserves report prepared by 
RES submitted as part of the process required to enable the J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells to be granted their respective Trial 
Production Licences (TPL’s). The Preliminary Reserves report was approved by the Kazakh authorities in June 2012.  

The second report was the Southern Extension area (known locally as West Zhetybai) Preliminary Reserves Report and this 
report is the first step towards the granting of TPL’s for the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells. 

In summary, the Akkar East accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-51, J-52 and J-53 wells and the Oil-In-Place 
(OIP)  for  this  area  has  been  estimated  at  ~129  mmbbls  with  recoverable  reserves  estimated  at  ~32.6  mmbbls.  The  C1 
reserves have been estimated at ~10.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~21.9 mmbbls. The recoverable reserves are based on a 
recovery factor of 27.2%. 

The J-50 well is part of the Akkar North accumulation and the estimated recoverable reserves for this area are ~8.6 mmbbls 
(C1 - ~4 mmbbls and C2 - ~4.6 mmbbls) bringing the total recoverable reserves in the area delineated by the wells J-50, 51, 52 
and 53 to ~41.2 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~14.7 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~26.5 mmbbls. 

Estimated  reserves  from  the  T31,  T32  (both  formerly  known  as  the  Z  Sand),  T2A  and  T2B  horizons  were  used  in  these 
calculations.  The  Akkar  East  Reserves  Report  has  now  been  submitted  to  the  relevant  authorities;  the  approval  process  is 
expected to take three months. 

The  West  Zhetybai  accumulation  covers  the  area  delineated  by  the  J-55,  J-58  and  J-59  wells  and  reserves  have  been 
evaluated for the T31, T32, T2A and T2B horizons. The OIP for this area has been estimated at ~232 mmbbls (from all four 
horizons) with recoverable reserves estimated at ~61.2 mmbbls. The C1 reserves have been estimated at ~2.3 mmbbls and C2 
reserves at ~58.9 mmbbls; the recoverable reserves are based on a recovery factor of 27.2%. 

The higher proportion of C2 to C1 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) general 
appraisal of the area which may include the drilling of additional wells. 

RES has submitted the West Zhetybai Preliminary Reserves Report to the relevant authorities; approval is expected to take 
three months. 

The  third  report  was  a  Competent  Persons  Report  (CPR)  that  was  prepared  using  the  Society  of  Petroleum  Engineers 
Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system; reserves are defined as those quantities of oil which 
are estimated to be commercially recoverable from a known accumulation from a given date forward. 

McDaniel & Associates (McDaniel) were engaged to complete this independent reserves audit of only the mid Triassic horizon 
as identified by wells J-50, J-51, J-52, J-53, J-55, J-58 and J-59. 

One of the underlying differences between the Kazakh State Reserves classification system and PRMS classification system is 
that  PRMS  also  considers  the  commercial  uncertainties  rather  than  only  geological  attributes  and  therefore  the  lack  of 
established  commercial  oil  flow  from  the  J-53,  J-55  and  J-59  wells  resulted  in  the  reserve  calculations  based  primarily  on 
production from the T2B horizon from wells J-50, J-51, J-52 and J-58.

EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE (continued) 

The results, by reserve category, were: 

•  Proved Reserves: 1P 9.7 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable Reserves: 2P 19.2 mmbbls 
•  Proved plus Probable plus Possible: 3P 28.7 mmbbls 

As part of the work undertaken by McDaniel to establish the commercial threshold of the mid-Triassic reserves, the Net Present 
Value of the proved+probable reserves using a discounted cashflow model with a discount rate of 10% was calculated as 
$US304.6m (~$US15.9/bbl) pre-tax and $US222.5m (~$US11.6/bbl) after tax. 

Shareholders are encouraged to read the 11 September 2013 announcement in full as it contains more details on the differing 
reserve classification methodologies used by RES in preparing the State Reserve Reports and by McDaniel in preparing the 
CPR.  

In summary, the results of both independent reserve audits confirmed the prospectivity of the Block 31 permit. 

Capital Raising  

On 23 September 2013, the Company announced details regarding the issue of $US6.5million of Series B Convertible Notes, 
issued on 20 September 2013. The key terms of these Convertible Notes were as follows: 

•  Term: 3 years 
•  Conversion Price: $US1.25 per share (maximum of 5.2 million shares may be issued) 
•  Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, with the interest accruing from and including the Issue Date until the earlier of the 

Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date of the Note. 

•  The Convertible Notes may be redeemed by Jupiter at any time with a minimum of 12 months interest payable if the 

Convertible Notes are redeemed within the 1st 12 months of their Term 

•  The issue of the Convertible Notes is carried out under Jupiter’s 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 

7.1 

The breakdown of subscriptions for the Convertible Notes is as follows: 

•  Waterford Petroleum Limited: $US1.5m 
•  Mid Ocean Limited $US0.5m 
•  Mobile Energy Limited: $US4m

Independent auditor's report to the members of Jupiter Energy Limited 

Report on the financial report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Jupiter Energy Limited, which comprises the 
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and 
other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the 
company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors' responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also 
state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the 
financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor's responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with 
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment 
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making 
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair 
presentation of the financial report 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 entity's 
internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and 
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
audit opinion. 

Independence 

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001.   We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a 
copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
