The past twelve months has seen slow but steady progress with the development of the Block 31 licence area supported by the ongoing trial production from the wells in the Akkar East field and the approval by the Kazakh authorities of Preliminary Reserves in the West Zhetybai field. Funding constraints have meant that more drilling on the field has not been possible but the Company is expecting to drill its eighth well during the final month of this calendar year and a funding package for this well is in progress. The Company also has plans to drill a further two wells in 2015, assuming the appropriate finances are in place. Details on the operational activities of the Company are contained in the Operating Review section of this report. The prospectivity of our 100% owned licence area continues to improve and on 4 July 2014 the Company announced that the relevant Kazakh State Authorities had approved Preliminary Reserves for the West Zhetybai field of ~27 million barrels of oil (mmbbls) recoverable (C1+C2). When added to the 2012 Akkar East State approved C1+C2 figure of 37 million barrels, the total approved C1+C2 estimated recoverable reserves for Block 31 now stands at ~64 mmbbls. There is little doubt 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 its Full Field Development phase – a key step in the Company achieving the first sale of export oil. Building of the infrastructure, like the drilling program, will require additional funding and the Board is currently progressing a number of financing options including the review of an equity raising and/or the issue of debt finance. The Board remains confident of the prospectivity of the licence area and that the two oilfields that have already been discovered on our permit area can be both developed into significant producers. The Company also continues to progress applications for further land extensions which could provide further exploration upside on the licence area. I encourage shareholders to read the Annual Report in detail and 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 Chairman/CEO 1 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT Your Directors submit their report for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Jupiter Energy Limited has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities that it controlled during the financial year, which are outlined in note 28 of the financial statements. PRINCIPLE ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the course of the financial year included: • Exploration for oil and gas in Kazakhstan: and • Appraisal, development and production of oil and gas properties in Kazakhstan. EMPLOYEES The consolidated entity employed 37 employees as at 30 June 2014 (2013: 50 employees). DIVIDENDS No dividends in respect of the current or previous financial year have been paid, declared or recommended for payment. FINANCIAL REVIEW Operating Results The consolidated loss for the year after income tax was $2,547,271 (2013: $4,885,829). Review of Financial Condition At the end of the 2014 financial year, cash resources were $1,285,358 (2013: $4,131,731). These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, predicated on the Company’s ability to raise additional cash in order to finance its proposed work programme and general and administrative costs for the next 12 months. The Board is currently progressing a number of financing options including the review of an equity raising and/or the issue of debt finance. Assets decreased to $59,218,198 (2013: $72,091,204) and equity decreased to $39,830,138 (2013: $54,573,145). CAPITAL RAISING / CAPITAL STRUCTURE In September 2013, the Group raised US$6.5m through the issue of Series B Convertible Notes with a coupon of 12% and an exercise price of US$1.25 and expiring 20 September 2016. The net cash raised was US$3.5m before costs, as the March 2014 Promissory Notes were converted to Convertible Notes. 4 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) Summary of share and share options on issue At the date of this report, the unissued ordinary shares of Jupiter Energy Limited under Performance Rights are as follows: Date of Vesting Vesting Conditions Number under Performance Rights 31 December 2014 Share Price Performance from a base 8,075,000 level of $0.919 Summary of Conditions relating to the vesting of the Performance Rights: The Performance Rights for each holder shall vest in proportion to the % increase in the Share price of the Company above $0.735 subject to a minimum increase of 25%, i.e. Performance Rights will start vesting at $0.919. For 100% of the Performance Rights to vest, the share price of the Company needs to reach $1.47 (Vesting Conditions). In respect of the Vesting Conditions, 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 Vesting Date. OPERATING REVIEW This section provides details on the operations of the past 12 months. The key operational event for the year was the ongoing trial production from the J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells with some limited production from the J-53 well. 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 trial production licences in place and during year the Company achieved revenues of $US7.6 million from the sale of approximately 247,400 barrels of oil at an average price of $US31 per barrel. All oil sales were made into the Kazakhstan domestic market, as is required under Trial Production, and made predominantly through three local traders. All sales were made on a pre-paid basis, with oil collected by the traders from the well head. Production from the J-50 well was restricted for the first half of the financial year due to the need to amend the gas emissions permit approved for the well. The new permit was approved in January 2014. Wells J-51 and J-52 operated throughout the year. The J-53 well had remedial work carried out on it during the year and some production was achieved but it appears that the well will require a new Electric Submersible Pump installed in order to achieve optimal production and this new pump is expected to be installed during 2015. At this time the well is shut in. Overall, average daily production for the 2013/14 year was ~680 barrels of oil per day. (2012/13: ~530 bopd) 5 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) West Zhetybai Field (J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells) The Kazakh authorities require companies that believe they have discovered a new oilfield to submit a Preliminary Reserves Report for their review and approval. This report must be prepared under the approved Kazakh standards which have been developed from the Russian reserves system; the standards are based on the analysis of geological attributes. Once Preliminary Reserves have been approved for a field, a company is then able to submit applications for various environmental and emission approvals to complete the Trial Production Licence (TPL) application process for the relevant wells on that field. Once these TPLs have been received the wells can be put on Trial Production and oil from those wells (and subsequent ones that are drilled on the same field) can be sold into the domestic market. Jupiter has drilled three wells on the West Zhetybai field (J-55, J-58 and J-59) and after being allowed to carry out a maximum of 90 days testing on each well, the wells were shut in awaiting the preparation, review and ultimate approval of the West Zhetybai Preliminary Reserves Report. Jupiter engaged independent Kazakh reserves institute, Reservoir Evaluation Services LLC (“RES”), to complete a reserves determination of the West Zhetybai oilfield on behalf of the Company (the RES 2013 Report). This report was completed in September 2013 and submitted to the relevant authorities for their review and approval. The State Approval was received in July 2014. In summary the West Zhetybai accumulation covers the area delineated by the J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells and reserves were evaluated for the T31, T32, T2A and T2B reservoir horizons. The State approved quantity of Oil in Place (OIP) for this area has been estimated at ~173.5 million barrels of oil (mmbbls) from all horizons with preliminary recoverable reserves (C1 + C2) estimated at ~27.0 mmbbls. The approved C1 reserves have been estimated at ~4.0 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~23.0 mmbbls; the recoverable reserves are calculated from the OIP using individual recovery factors for each horizon. The weighted average recovery rate approved by the authorities was ~15.5%. The best recovery is expected from the T2B horizon and when estimating C1 reserves in this horizon, a recovery factor of 21.8% was used. This rate was based on production data from nearby fields that have been producing from this horizon for several years. The proportion of approved C1 to C1+C2 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) drilling of additional appraisal wells on the field. The Company currently plans, subject to receipt of additional funding, to drill at least two more wells on the area before submitting its Final Reserves Report for the West Zhetybai field. The Board anticipates that completion of this work should see existing C2 reserves moved into the C1 category as well as the identification of further C1 and C2 reserves. When one compares the State Approved Reserve numbers with the RES 2013 Report it is clear that almost all the decrease in the reserves approved for West Zhetybai results from the reduction in the C2 reserves from ~58.9 mmbbls to ~23.0 mmbbls. The reduction in the C2 reserves was as a result of a number of factors: • A weighted average recovery factor of ~15.5% used for calculating C2 reserves as compared to a 27.2% recovery factor used when the RES 2013 Report was prepared. The 27.2% recovery rate was based on RES modelling and the production data obtained from Jupiter’s operations since 2010. • The authorities taking a view that there was insufficient test data from the J-55 and J-59 wells to demonstrate recoverable reserves from the area around these wells. • The need for further appraisal drilling between the existing J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells; the distance between each well is ~4km and a distance of ~2km between wells (as is the case on the Akkar East field) is generally expected by the authorities. 6 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) In addition, more recent Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) analysis indicated a less favourable oil volume (shrinkage) factor that also resulted in a reduction in the reserves that were approved by the authorities. The key point to note is that the approval of the Preliminary Reserves Report for West Zhetybai enables the TPL application process to begin and during the three year TPL phase further appraisal work on West Zhetybai will be carried out before a Final Reserves Report is prepared for approval by the State authorities. 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. In the North, the Company expects to drill at least two additional wells; one well on Akkar East will be drilled in an area of already proven C1 reserves and as such will be the Company’s first ‘production’ well after the previous exploration and appraisal wells and will be named well 19 (the J-xx nomenclature being used for exploration and appraisal wells only). The other well will be an exploration well on the north east area of the permit (J-54). Well 19 will be located between the J-51 and J-52 wells and (assuming success) will be placed on Trial Production as soon as it has been drilled. The J-54 prospect is a large structural closure mapped using 3D seismic to the north of the producing Akkar East field. The Company believes the prospect is a separate field and the prognosis is that it is structurally up dip of Akkar East. The Company considers that the main risk associated with the J-54 well is the presence of an adequate top seal to trap oil. Assuming success, the Company believes that the reservoir quality and flow rates should be similar to that found in the Akkar East field. In the South, the J-58 and J-59 wells are both currently suspended awaiting approval of their respective TPLs. After the TPLs are granted wells J-58 will be put on production from the T2B horizon, and the J-59 well will be used to test the potential of the shallow Jurassic horizon before being completed for production from the T2B horizon. Further remedial work will be carried out on J-55 to determine if commercial production can be established and this work may require separate approvals from the relevant bodies. It is expected that, subject to the Company obtaining the requisite funding, two appraisal wells will be drilled on the West Zhetybai field during 2015/16. Details on the Exploration and Production Licences On 30 January 2014the Company submitted an application for a further two year extension to the Block 31 Exploration Licence. 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 application is well progressed and the Company expects to have the extension finalised during the 4th quarter of this calendar year. 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 2016, for a Production Licence for the already discovered Akkar East field in the northern section of Block 31. 7 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 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 2015 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 is confident that further additions to the reserves are achievable. The Company is also progressing two land extension applications and if these are successful there could be further exploration targets identified for drilling in 2015/2016 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 2015. Total barrels sold under Trial Production during the 2013/14 financial year totalled 247,500 for revenues of $7.6 million. This figure represents a 31.03% increase in revenues achieved in the 2012/13 financial year ($5.8m). 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 majority 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. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS POST PERIOD END State Approved Preliminary Reserve Report – West Zhetybai On 04 July 2014 the Company announced the details of the State Approved Preliminary Reserves Report for the West Zhetybai field. The details of this announcement are covered in the Operating Review above under the section “West Zhetybai Field (J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells)”. In summary, the approved C1+C2 reserves for the West Zhetybai field have been estimated at ~27.0 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~4.0 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~23.0 mmbbls. The proportion of approved C1 to C1+C2 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) drilling of additional appraisal wells on the field. The Company currently plans, subject to receipt of additional funding, to drill at least two more wells on the area before submitting its Final Reserves Report for the West Zhetybai field. The key point to note is that the approval of the Preliminary Reserves Report for West Zhetybai enables the Trial Production Licence (TPL) application process to begin and during the three year TPL phase further appraisal work on West Zhetybai will be carried out before a Final Reserves Report is prepared. Forward Plan: The focus for West Zhetybai is to commence the TPL application process and bring wells J-58 and J-59 onto production as soon as possible subject to the availability of additional financing. In the medium term there will be more testing work carried out on the J-55 well and the plan is to drill at least two appraisal wells on the West Zhetybai field. 8 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS Except as otherwise set out in this report, the Directors are unaware of any significant changes in the state of affairs or principal activities of the consolidated entity that occurred during the period under review.

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 indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company, and includes the three executives in the Company and the Group. For the purposes of this report, the term 'executive' encompasses the chief executive, senior executives, general managers and secretaries of the Company and the Group. Details of key management personnel (including the three highest executives of the Company and the Group) (i) Directors Geoff Gander Alastair Beardsall Baltabek Kuandykov Scott Mison (ii) Executives Keith Martens John Kroshus Chairman / CEO (Executive) Director (Non-Executive) Director (Non-Executive) Director / CFO / Company Secretary (Executive) Technical Consultant Technical Consultant (resigned July 2013) There were no other changes after reporting date and before the date the financial report was authorised for issue. 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. 11 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued) The executive Directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution as required by the government which is currently 9.5%, 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. 12 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 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. 13 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued) The following information provides a summary of the Company’s financial performance for the last five years: Revenue Loss before income tax Earnings per share (cents)* Last share price at Balance Date* Market capitalisation 2014 $ 7,586,442 (2,547,271) (1.66) 0.40 61.4m 2013 $ 5,778,057 (4,885,829) (3.25) 0.55 82.7m 2012 $ 1,063,086 (4,295,102) (3.70) 0.415 48.2m 2011 $ - (4,889,671) (5.25) 0.72 83.4m 2010 $ - (5,512,070) (8.25) 0.51 30.1m *The earnings per share and last share price have been adjusted for all periods to reflect the 15:1 share consolidation approved on 12 August 2011. 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 2014). 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. 14 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued) Details of remuneration (Audited) Remuneration of Directors and Executives Table 1: Remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2014 Short-term benefits Post-employment benefits Share-based payment Cash salary and Consulting fees $ Cash bonus (c) $ Other $ Super- annuation $ Performance Rights $ Total $ Remuneration consisting of Performance Rights % Performance related % 40,000 42,810 82,810 321,577 130,000 67,000 47,998 566,575 649,385 - - - - - - - - - - 11,250 138,728 - 30,000 - 143,200 143,200 286,400 143,200 32,063 183,200 186,010 369,210 633,505 173,313 78.16% 76.98% 78.16% 76.98% 22.60% 18.50% 22.60% 24.99% - - - - - - - (14,194) 67,000 33,804 - - - - 11,250 11,250 138,728 138,728 30,000 30,000 161,069 447,468 907,622 1,276,832 Name Non-executive director A Beardsall B Kuandykov Total non-executive directors Executive directors G Gander (a) S Mison (b) Other key management personnel K Martens J Kroshus Total executives Totals (a): Other relates to living expenses covering cost of apartment/office in London as per service agreement.

Jupiter Energy Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange and on London’s AIM Market (as CDI’s). Jupiter Energy Limited is a for profit entity. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors Report on pages 2 to 11 of this report. 2 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 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. At 30 June 2014 the Group has a net working capital surplus of $0.74 million. The Group is reliant on planned production forecasts being achieved during 2014 / 2015 and being able to raise additional capital. The Directors are currently reviewing a range of financing options which may include the further issue of new equity, reserve based debt, convertible debt or a combination of these and other funding instruments. While financing is expected to be finalised within the short term to allow the Group to further the development of the East Akkar field during 2014 - 2015 there is no certainty that financing will be completed as anticipated. The Directors are confident of being able to raise the required capital, but note that financing has not been secured at the date of this report. Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above, there is uncertainty whether the Group would continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of the recorded assets amounts nor to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern. 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. 35 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (b) Statement of compliance 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. From 1 July 2013, the Group has adopted the following Standards and Interpretations, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 July 2013. Adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any significant effect on the financial position or performance of the Group: AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 119 Employee Benefits AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014. These are outlined in the following table. Reference Title Summary AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off" and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. Application date for Group 1 July 2014 Application date of standard 1 January 2014 Impact on Group financial report The group has not yet determined the financial impact of the change. 36 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Application date for Group 1 July 2018 Application date of standard 1 January 2018 Impact on Group financial report The group has not yet determined the financial impact of the change. Reference Title 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. b. c. 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. 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. 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. 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. The AASB issued a revised version of AASB 9 (AASB 2013-9) during December 2013. The revised standard incorporates three primary changes: 1. 2. 3. New hedge accounting requirements including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures Entities may elect to apply only the accounting for gains and losses from own credit risk without applying the other requirements of AASB 9 at the same time In February 2014, the IASB tentatively decided that the mandatory effective date for AASB 9 will be 1 January 2018 AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets AASB 2013-3 amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. The amendments include the requirement to disclose additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposal. 1 January 2014 1 July 2014 The group has not yet determined the financial impact of the change. 37 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Reference Title Summary AASB 2013-4 AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting [AASB 139] AASB 2013-4 amends AASB 139 to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in specified circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities [AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 7, AASB 10, AASB 12, AASB 107, AASB 112, AASB 124, AASB 127, AASB 132, AASB 134 & AASB 139] These amendments define an investment entity and require that, with limited exceptions, an investment entity does not consolidate its subsidiaries or apply AASB 3 Business Combinations when it obtains control of another entity. These amendments require an investment entity to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements. These amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities to AASB 12 and AASB 127. AASB 2013-7 Amendments to AASB 1038 arising from AASB 10 in relation to Consolidation and Interests of Policyholders [AASB 1038] AASB 2013-7 removes the specific requirements in relation to consolidation from AASB 1038, which leaves AASB 10 as the sole source for consolidation requirements applicable to life insurer entities. AASB 1031 Materiality AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross- references to other Standards and the Framework (issued December 2013) that contain guidance on materiality. AASB 1031 will be withdrawn when references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and Interpretations have been removed. The Standard contains three main parts and makes amendments to a number Standards and Interpretations. Part A of AASB 2013-9 makes consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB CF 2013-1. Part B makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031 and also makes minor editorial amendments to various other standards. Part C makes amendments to a number of Australian Accounting Standards, including incorporating Chapter 6 Hedge Accounting into AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

Interests in associates are equity accounted (see accounting policy Note 2(e)). 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:  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; and  The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:  The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;  Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and  The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. 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 (OCI) 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 on consolidation. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:  De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;  De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;  De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;  Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;  Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;  Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 39 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 40 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 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 and probable 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. 41 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Production start date (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. 42 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 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. 43 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 44 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2 (o) Revenue recognition Sales revenue Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Incidental revenue generated during the development stage of an asset, is offset against the carrying value of the asset, rather than recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 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. (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. (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. 45 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 46 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 (t) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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: • 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. 47 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 48 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (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. 3 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: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Net exposure Consolidated 2014 $ 2013 $ 1,285,358 1,285,358 4,131,731 4,131,731 49 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) The following table summarises the sensitivity of the fair value of the financial instruments held at balance date, if interest rates had moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit would have been affected as follows: Post – tax gain / (loss) +1% -1% Foreign currency risk Consolidated 2014 $ 2013 $ 12,853 (12,853) 41,317 (41,317) The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency. At balance date, the Group had the following exposure to United States Dollars (USD), Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT), Great Britain Pound (GBP) and Singapore Dollars (SGD) foreign currency that is not designated in cash flow hedges: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents - - - - Liquidation Fund USD KZT SGD GBP Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities Derivative Net exposure Consolidated 2014 $ 2013 $ 1,072,868 - 1,859 21,706 468,155 1,564,588 3,029,199 798,661 1,859 281,854 418,349 4,529,922 (16,931,066) (229,400) (17,160,466) (15,595,878) (11,893,890) (763,177) (12,657,067) (8,127,145) 50 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (continued) The following table summarises the sensitivity of financial instruments held at balance date to movement in the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the United States Dollar, Singapore Dollar and Kazakhstan Tenge, with all other variables held constant. The 5% sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using the observed range of actual historical rates for the preceding 5 periods. Post – tax gain / (loss) +5% -5% Credit risk Consolidated 2014 $ 2013 $ (779,794) 779,794 (406,357) 406,357 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 Assets Within one year After one year but not more than five years More than five years Financial Liabilities Within one year After one year to two years More than two years Net Exposure Consolidated 2014 $ 2013 $ - - - 468,155 468,155 - 418,349 418,349 (229,400) - (16,931,066) (17,160,466) (16,692,311) (3,280,160) (9,376,907) - (12,657,067) (12,238,718) 51 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 3 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 3 method. The convertible notes are sensitive to the changes in currency volatility. The table below outlines the impact a change in the USD volatility input has on the fair value of the convertible notes. 5% increase in volatility 5 % decrease in volatility Equity Price Risk 30 June 2014 $ 846,553 (846,553) 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 $229,400. A decrease in the company’s share price by 10% could have an impact of approximately $22,940 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 $22,940 on profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether the decline is significant or prolonged. 4.

The Loan was for US$3 million via 3 Promissory Notes, each with exactly the same terms and each with a face value of US$1m. The Loan was repayable on 31 March 2014 or at such time that the Company raised additional funding of a minimum of $20 million via debt, equity or other funding. The Loan had a coupon rate of 15% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, with the first interest payment due on 30 June 2013. During the period, the Promissory Notes were converted into Convertible Notes (Series B). US$9m Convertible Notes (Series A): On 31 May 2013, Jupiter issued US$9m Series A convertible notes. The key terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows: • Term: 3 years • Conversion Price: US$1.25 per share (maximum of 7.2 million shares may be issued) • Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears • 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 was carried out under Jupiter’s 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 The breakdown of subscriptions for the Convertible Notes were as follows: • Waterford Petroleum Limited: US$3m • SNG Investments Limited: US$2m • Midocean Holdings Limited: US$1m • Mobile Energy Limited: US$3m The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was US$5.7m, 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 (US$270,000) by the Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding. 58 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 US$6.5m Convertible Notes (Series B) On 23 September 2013, the Company announced details regarding the issue of US$6.5million 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: US$1.25 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: US$1.5m • Mid Ocean Limited US$0.5m • Mobile Energy Limited: US$4m • Other Private Investors: US$0.5m The net cash proceeds of the fundraising was US$3.305m, following the repayment of US$3m of Promissory Notes held by Mobile Energy Limited and the payment of a fee of 3% of the proceeds of the raising (US$195,000) by the Company to Waterford Petroleum Limited for its role in arranging the funding. The holders of Series A Convertible Notes issued on 31 May 2013 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 US$15.5m 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. However, if there is a capital raising prior to the conversion of the notes and the raising is at less than US$1.25 per share, then the note holders can elect to convert the notes at the lower price, subject to shareholder approval. Valuation Techniques 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. An input into the Black Scholes option valuation is the expected share price volatility over the remaining term of the options. The expected share price volatility used in the option valuation at reporting date was 55% which was based on historical share price volatility. 59 JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2014 ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 The fair value of the embedded derivative is sensitive to changes in share price volatility. The table below outlines the impact a change in the share price volatility input has on the fair value of the embedded derivative. 15% increase in volatility 15 % decrease in volatility Fair value hierarchy 30 June 2014 $ 263,810 (194,990) All financial instruments, such as the Series B convertible notes, for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: Level 1 — Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable) Level 3 — Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable) For financial instruments that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. As at 30 June 2014, the Group held the following classes of financial instruments measured at fair value: Derivative financial liabilities Embedded derivative Level 3 $ 30 June 2014 $ 229,400 229,400 There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the year ended 30 June 2014.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (continued) 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 7 November 2013, 1,074,999 performance rights were approved by shareholders to directors. 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 2014). No performance rights vest if the calculated share price is less than the minimum vesting price at vesting date. At the same meeting shareholders approved the extension of the existing 7,000,001 performance rights to 31 December 2014, with the same terms and conditions. This brings the total number of performance rights on issue as at 30 June 2014 to 8,075,000 and these performance rights all expire on 31 December 2014. 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.

EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE State Approved Preliminary Reserve Report – West Zhetybai On 04 July 2014 the Company announced the details of the State Approved Preliminary Reserves Report for the West Zhetybai field. The details of this announcement are covered in the Operating Review in the Directors Report under the section “West Zhetybai Field (J-55, J-58 and J-59 wells)”. In summary, the approved C1+C2 reserves for the West Zhetybai field have been estimated at ~27.0 mmbbls; C1 reserves of ~4.0 mmbbls and C2 reserves of ~23.0 mmbbls. The proportion of approved C1 to C1+C2 reserves indicates the need for (i) further testing of the J-55 and J-59 wells and (ii) drilling of additional appraisal wells on the field. The Company currently plans, subject to receipt of additional funding, to drill at least two more wells on the area before submitting its Final Reserves Report for the West Zhetybai field. The key point to note is that the approval of the Preliminary Reserves Report for West Zhetybai enables the Trial Production Licence (TPL) application process to begin and during the three year TPL phase further appraisal work on West Zhetybai will be carried out before a Final Reserves Report is prepared. There have been no other significant events occurring subsequent to 30 June 2014. 28.

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.
