JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present the 2015 Annual Report for Jupiter Energy Limited (Jupiter Energy or the Company).
The past year can be best described as one of two halves.
The first six months of the year showed slow but steady progress with the development of the Block 31 licence area
supported by the ongoing trial production from the J-50, 51 and 52 wells and progress towards the granting of Trial
Production Licences for the J-58 and J-59 wells located on the West Zhetybai field.
Funding constraints meant that drilling on the permit was limited to Well 19, the Company’s eighth well that reached
target depth in February 2015 but was not fully completed and tested due to a lack of funding. That said, the
Company recovered three hydrocarbon samples from the well, with each container holding 300 litres. Independent
analysis of the recovered liquids showed that it was oil with a water cut of ~0.03% with the density and salt content in
line with oil produced from the J-51 and J-52 wells.
The second six months saw production halted in February 2015 when the falling world oil price meant that the sales
price being achieved for domestic oil in Kazakhstan fell to levels that made oil production from Block 31 uneconomic.
The Company took the opportunity during this shut down period to restructure its operations and overall monthly
operating costs have been reduced by ~40% providing an annual saving in running costs of over $US2 million. In
addition, the Company has reviewed its overall approach to Trial Production. Based on a cost structure that uses
purchased (vs rental) topside equipment, the Company believes that with the additional oil produced from the J-58
and J-59 wells (once Trial Production Licences for these wells have been approved) it should be possible to return to
selling into the domestic market on a cashflow positive basis. Ultimately the price of Kazakh domestic oil will be the
key determining factor in the timing of recommencing trial production.
The Company continues to be supported by its major shareholders with interim debt funding during the year via the
renewal of Convertible Notes and the issue of a new Promissory Note. The continued use of unsecured debt to fund
the Company is driven by the fact that the Company has been unable to secure the required permission from the
Kazakh Ministry of Energy to raise equity through the issue of new shares. Once permission is granted it is the
intention of the note holders to convert their unsecured debt to equity, subject to the necessary approvals being
granted, and for the provision of additional funding to come through the issue of new shares.
Looking forward, the Company plans to return to domestic oil production as soon as possible and, assuming funding
is in place, 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.
The Board remains confident in the prospectivity of the licence area and furthermore that the two oilfields that have
already been discovered on our permit area can be commercially developed into significant producers. Subject to
securing additional funding, the Company will also continue to progress applications for further land extensions of
the permit area, which could provide further exploration upside.
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
Chairman/CEO

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operating Results
The consolidated loss for the year after income tax was $10,982,261 (2014: $2,547,271).
Review of Financial Condition
At the end of the 2015 financial year, cash resources were $1,613,560 (2014: $1,285,358). 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 seeking the requisite waivers for an equity raising
and/or the issue of debt finance.
Assets increased to $76,897,616 (2014: $59,218,198) and equity increased to $41,654,900 (2014: $39,830,138).
CAPITAL RAISING / CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Company has on issue $US15.5m in Series B Convertible Notes made up of 12,400,000 Notes with a
conversion price of $US1.25 per Note; interest on the Notes is accrued at 12% per annum and will become payable
when the Notes are repaid or converted into shares. The Series B Convertible Notes were issued on 20 September
2013, have a three (3) year term and fall due for repayment (including accrued interest) on 20 September 2016
unless converted/repaid at an earlier date.
As announced on 17 November 2014, independent shareholders approved amendments to the terms of the Series B
Convertible Notes at the 2014 AGM such that in the event of a capital raising at a price lower than $US1.25 per
share, the Convertible Notes may be converted at this lower price.
On 7 October 2014 the Company announced it had received $US5m of funding from its largest shareholder,
Waterford Petroleum Limited.
The funding was by way of a Promissory Note with the following key terms:
Amount: $US5m.
Repayable in full on 30 June 2015 or when the Company raises a minimum of $US20m (whichever is
sooner). The raising may be via equity, debt or a combination of both.
4
JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Amount repayable may be set off against payment for future equity investment.
Coupon Rate: 12% with any interest being accrued to maturity and able to be offset against payment for
future equity investment.
On 30 April 2015 the Company signed a Framework Agreement with a substantial shareholder, Waterford Petroleum
Limited (Waterford), which will provide the Company with up to $US5m in additional working capital via the issuance
of promissory notes. The Company continues to seek a longer term funding package that will enable the
commencement of the 2015/16 drilling program.
The Framework Agreement has certain terms and conditions, the key ones being:
The issuance of new promissory notes repayable on 1 July 2016.
The October 2014 $US5m Promissory Note (October 2014 Note) held by Waterford were rolled into a
Series B Promissory Note along with the accrued interest outstanding on the October 2014 Note as at 30
April 2015 of $US346,849.
The issuance of further Series B Promissory Notes will provide up to $US5m for working capital purposes
which can be drawn down as required following agreement on the use of funds by Waterford.
The Series B Promissory Note has a coupon rate of 15% per annum, and the interest will accrue and be
payable at the time that the Series B Promissory Note is repaid.
Waterford may elect to offset the value of the Series B Promissory Note and any accrued interest against
participation in any future capital raising carried out by the Company prior to 30 June 2016.
Waterford may elect to roll the value of the Series B Promissory Note and any accrued interest into any
other debt funding facility that the Company may establish prior to 1 July 2016.
Summary of share options on issue
At the date of this report, there were no share options on issue.
OPERATING REVIEW
This section provides details on the operations of the past 12 months.
Ongoing trial production from the J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells took place for the first six months of the financial year. All
other wells were either shut in awaiting remedial work (J-53 and J-55) or shut in awaiting approval of Trial Production
Licences (J-58 and J-59). Details on all these wells are outlined below as are details of other work carried out over
the course of the year.
Well Operations
J-50, J-51 and J-52 Trial Production
During the first seven months of the financial year the Company achieved revenues of ~$US3.66 million from the
sale of approximately 108,500 barrels of oil at an average price of $US33.75 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.
The J-50, J-51 and J-52 wells all had Trial Production Licences (TPL) in place to 29 December 2014. Applications for
the extension of the J-50, J-51 and J-52 TPL’s for the period 1 January 2015 to 29 December 2016 were submitted
during the first half of the financial year and TPL extensions to December 2016 for the J-51 and J-52 wells were
received in December 2014.
5
JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
The application for an extension to the J-50 TPL was not approved. The underlying issue delaying the J-50 TPL
renewal is the demand by the Kazakh Committee of Geology that Jupiter Energy reach agreement with its neighbour
MangistauMunaiGas (MMG) over the division of reserves associated with each companies’ share of the Akkar North
accumulation. Jupiter Energy had been in dialogue with MMG on this issue for some time prior to the December
2014 expiry date but was not able to reach formal agreement with MMG with respect to the division of Akkar North
reserves by 29 December 2014. The matter remains unresolved and as a result J-50 has been shut in since 29
December 2014. There has been no revenue from this well since that date.
Oil was produced from the J-51 and J-52 wells from 1 January 2015 to 10 February 2015 when the dramatic fall in
world oil prices resulted in sales contracts being offered by local traders for domestic oil in the Kazakh market at
levels that meant further production would be cashflow negative. A decision was made to shut in both wells and
there has been no revenue from the J-51 and J-52 wells since February 2015.
The J-53 well requires further remedial work and the Company does not, at present, have the requisite funding for
this work and as such the well has not been in production at any time during the financial period.
Overall, average daily production during the first half of the 2014/15 year when the J-50, 51 and 52 wells were all on
production was ~550 barrels of oil per day (2013/14: ~680 bopd). The reduction was due to a combination of the
downtime of the J-50 well during August (ESP maintenance) and the J-51 and J-52 wells in September (regulatory
well testing).
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 TPL’s 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 Energy 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. The State Approval for the West Zhetybai
Preliminary Reserves 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 with the approved C1 reserves estimated at
~4.0 mmbbls and C2 reserves at ~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 approval of the Preliminary Reserves Report for West Zhetybai enabled the TPL application process to begin for
the J-58 and J-59 wells and during the year this approval process continued. As at the date of this report, the
Company has all the requisite approvals from the State Authorities to commence trial production from J-58 and J-59.
Funding to install the topside infrastructure for these wells is now required before trial production can commence.
6
JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
The J-55 well requires remedial work before it is ready for trial production. Like the J-53 well, until funding for this
work is in place, the well remains shut in.
Well 19
During the year the Company drilled one well. Well 19 is located on the Akkar East field and was drilled in an area of
already proven C1 reserves between the J-51 and J-52 wells and as such was the Company’s first ‘production’ well.
The well was drilled on time and on budget. The limited completion and testing of well 19 included perforating the
well underbalanced with tubing conveyed perforating guns, monitoring fluid levels and running pressure gages.
Testing of the well indicated severe skin damage which will require an acid treatment to stimulate the well and assist
oil flow into the well bore. This is consistent with other wells in the area.
Further work, including an acid stimulation, will not take place until the requisite funding for the work is in place and
the Company is ready to return to trial production operations.
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 new wells; one well (J-57) on Akkar East will be drilled in an
area of C2 reserves and should be the final well required before the State Authorities approve the Final Reserves
Report for the Akkar East field. The obtaining of a Final Reserves Report is a critical step in moving the Akkar East
field towards Full Field Development and export oil.
The second well in the North is expected to be the J-54 well. 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 completion of the requisite infrastructure
to begin trail production from these wells. When ready, 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 further appraisal wells will also be
drilled on the West Zhetybai field during 2016/17.
Details on the Exploration and Production Licences
The current Exploration Licence takes the exploration period through to December 2016. An application for a further
minimum 2 year extension to the Exploration Licence will be submitted to the relevant Kazakh authorities later this
calendar year. The further extension of the Exploration Licence is an integral part of the plan for the successful
completion of the exploration phase of the project and will provide the Company with the necessary time to make a
smooth transition into the 25 year Production Licence phase of the Block 31 contract.
7
JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Prospectivity
As outlined in the Forward Plan for Drilling Activity section of this report, the drilling of J-54 offers the potential,
assuming success, for an a further upgrade of Block 31 reserves. The Company’s understanding of 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 land extension applications in the North East and South East and if these are
successful there could be further exploration targets identified for drilling in 2016/2017.
Future Production
The J-51 and J-52 wells already have their respective TPL’s approved until December 2016 and it is expected that
wells J-58 and J-59 will be ready to go into Trial Production as soon as the requisite topside infrastructure is in place.
Well 19 needs further work, including an acid stimulation, and this work will not take place until the requisite funding
is in place and the Company is ready to return to trial production operations.
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 building of such a team over the past few years has been a
majority priority. Unfortunately a number of staff were made redundant as a result of the shutdown of field operations
in February 2015 and others were offered part time roles at that time. Once the Company is ready to resume trial
production, these positions will again be filled with past employees given priority to apply for roles.
The Board is confident that the Company will be well prepared for continued growth over the coming years.

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 – with a focus to 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 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 – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued)
The executive Directors 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 – 2015 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.

CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Jupiter Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance
with a resolution of the directors on 30 September 2015.
Jupiter Energy Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the
Australian Stock Exchange, on London’s AIM Market (as CDI’s) and on the Kazakh Stock Exchange. 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 10
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 2015, the Group has total assets of $76.9 million and a net current asset position of $0.5 million (30 June
2014: current asset position of $0.7 million). The Group’s Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes, described in Note
17, become payable within 12 months from the date of release of this report and the Group’s cash-flow forecast reflects
that additional capital will need to be raised within the short term. In addition, oil production has been shut-in and will
remain so until such time that domestic oil pricing becomes cash flow positive.
The Directors are currently reviewing a range of financing options which may include an asset sale, further issue of new
equity, reserve based debt, convertible debt or a combination of these and other funding instruments. As part of the
financing options being considered the Group’s existing Promissory Notes and Convertible Notes will either be repaid,
rolled into a new facility or converted into Jupiter shares, subject to certain approvals. Whilst the financing is expected
to be finalised within the short term, which will also allow the Group to further the development of the East Akkar field
during 2015 – 2016, there is no certainty that financing will be completed as anticipated.
The Directors are confident of being able to achieve the matters set out above. Should these not be achieved, 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.

inconsistency
Financial liabilities
Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial liabilities
are limited to the measurement of liabilities designated at fair
value through profit or loss (FVPL) using the fair value option.
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
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was
caused by changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be
measured at fair value. This change in accounting means that
gains or losses attributable to changes in the entity’s own
credit risk would be recognised in OCI. These amounts
recognised in OCI are not recycled to profit or loss if the
liability is ever repurchased at a discount.
Impairment
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-loss
impairment model that will require more timely recognition of
expected credit losses. Specifically, the new Standard requires
entities to account for expected credit losses from when
financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise full
lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis.
Hedge accounting
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010 editions
and AASB 2013-9) issued in December 2013 included the
new hedge accounting requirements, including changes to
hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging costs, risk
components that can be hedged and disclosures.
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, AASB 2010-10 and
AASB 2014-1 – Part E.
AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments
arising from the issuance of AASB 9 in Dec 2014.
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions of
AASB 9 (AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December
2010)) from 1 February 2015 and applies to annual reporting
periods beginning on after 1 January 2015.

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.

The IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods
to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate
because revenue generated by an activity that includes the
use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the
consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The amendment also clarified that revenue is generally
presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the

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 outlined in Note 28). 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.

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.
Impairment of assets
In determining the recoverable amount of assets in the absence of quoted markets, estimations and judgements are
made in determining the future cash flows and discounting them using asset specific discount rates. Value in use
calculations incorporate a number of key assumptions.
In the case of the Group’s primary asset, Block 31, the over-riding assumption is that Block 31 reaches the point of
export production by January 2018. For this to occur the following matters need to be resolved:
Financing for construction of processing facilities and drilling of development wells
-
- Approval from the Government for construction of processing facilities and drilling of development wells and
ultimately approving of export status.
- Contracts signed for the engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of the processing
facilities and for the drilling of development wells.
- Extension of the current trial production licenses to 2018. It is anticipated that an application for a further
minimum 2 year extension to the Exploration Licence will be submitted to the relevant Kazakh authorities
later this calendar year
- An agreement is reached with MangistauMunaiGas(MMG) over the division of reserves associated with the
Akkar North accumulation

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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)
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.

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 3 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 $1,612. A decrease in the company’s share price by
10% could have an impact of approximately $161 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 $161 on profit and loss or equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether the decline is significant or
prolonged.

The Consolidated Group has tax losses of $7,383,121 (2014: $6,945,693) that are available indefinitely for offset against future
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

The Group accrues provisions for the forthcoming costs of rehabilitation of the territory. On the basis of forecasts the cost of
rehabilitation of the oilfield would be $527,827. The timing of rehabilitation is likely to depend on when the fields cease to
produce at economically viable rates. This, in turn, will depend upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently
uncertain.

On 3 October 2014, Jupiter entered into an unsecured loan agreement with Waterford Petroleum Limited. The Loan was for
$US5 million via a Promissory Note. The Loan is repayable on 30 June 2015 or at such time that the Company raised
additional funding of a minimum of $20 million via debt, equity or other funding. Interest shall accrue on the Principal Sum at
12% p.a. (twelve per cent per annum) and shall be added to the Outstanding Amount.
On 30 April 2015 the Company signed a Framework Agreement with a substantial shareholder, Waterford Petroleum Limited

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.
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

30 June 2014

(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 2015, the Group held the following classes of financial instruments measured at fair value:

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 2015, 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.

RC:JH:JUPITER:066
Opinion
In our opinion:
a. the financial report of Jupiter Energy Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
i. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2015

b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in
Note 2.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(a) in the financial report. These conditions
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to
realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the remuneration report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors' report for the year ended 30 June
2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the

to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards.
