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

JUPITER ENERGY LIMITED – 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

CORPORATE STRUCTURE  

Jupiter Energy Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  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 21 employees as at 30 June 2015 (2014: 37 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 $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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

The  Directors  will  continue  to  pursue  oil  and  gas  exploration  and  production  opportunities  in  the  Republic  of 
Kazakhstan. 

As Jupiter Energy Limited is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, London’s AIM Market (AIM) and the Kazakh 
Stock Exchange (KASE), it is subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, the AIM 
Rules and the KASE Rules for Companies which require immediate disclosure to the market of information that is 
likely to have a material effect on the price or value of Jupiter Energy Limited’s securities.    

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION 

The consolidated entity is committed to achieving the highest standards of environmental performance. Standards 
set by the Government of Kazakhstan are comprehensive  and highly regulated. The consolidated  entity strives  to 
comply not only with all Kazakh government regulations, but also maintain worldwide industry standards.  

To  maintain  these  high  standards  the  Company  is  committed  to  a  locally  developed  environmental  monitoring 
programme. This monitoring programme will continue to expand as and when new regulations are implemented and 
adopted in Kazakhstan. 

HEALTH & SAFETY 

The Company has developed a comprehensive Health and Safety policy for its operations in Kazakhstan and has 
the appropriate personnel in place to monitor the performance of the Company with compliance under this policy. 
The Company outsources many of its key drilling functions and as part of any contract entered into with third parties, 
a  commitment  to  Health  &  Safety  and  a  demonstrated  track  record  of  success  in  this  area  is  a  key  performance 
indicator in terms of deciding on which companies will be contracted.

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 – 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.

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.

AASB  9  (December  2014)  is  a  new  standard  which  replaces 
AASB  139.  This  new  version  supersedes  AASB  9  issued  in 
December  2009  (as  amended)  and  AASB  9  (issued  in 
December  2010)  and  includes  a  model  for  classification  and

AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January  2018.  However,  the  Standard  is  available  for  early 
adoption.  The  own  credit  changes  can  be  early  adopted  in 
isolation  without  otherwise  changing

Classification and measurement 

AASB  9  includes  requirements  for  a  simpler  approach  for 
classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets  compared 
with  the  requirements  of  AASB  139.  There  are  also  some 
changes made in relation to financial liabilities.

Financial  assets  that  are  debt  instruments  will  be

the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

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.

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.

Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair

so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or

g.  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 
that  can  be  hedged  and 
costs,  risk  components

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

Clarification of Acceptable 
Methods of Depreciation 
and Amortisation 
(Amendments to 
AASB 116 and AASB 138) 

AASB  116  Property  Plant  and  Equipment  and  AASB  138 
Intangible Assets both establish the principle for the basis of 
depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of 
consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset.  

1 January 
2016 

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 
consumption  of 
in  an 
intangible  asset.  This  presumption,  however,  can  be  rebutted 
in certain limited circumstances.

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.

(r)  Other taxes 

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

(s)  Contributed equity 

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

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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.

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.

(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:

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 Great Britain Pound (GBP), with all other variables

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 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 
(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. Under IFRS, Waterford is seen to have “significant influence” as a result of their shareholding of 29.5% 

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  will  be  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. 

As at 30 June 2015, US$7,346,849 has been drawn from the US$10,000,000 facility. 

US$15.5m Convertible Notes (Series B): 

The key terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows: 

  Term: 3 years 
  Conversion Price: $US1.25 per share or the price that the next equity raising is completed at (whichever is the lower) 
  Coupon Rate: 12% per annum, accrued and payable at conversion.  
  The issue of the Convertible Notes was carried out under Jupiter’s 15% capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015 

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.

(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.

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 

and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and 

ii.  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and 

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 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is 
to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Jupiter Energy Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015, 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
