OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Operations Review 
The 2013/2014 financial year has seen Key Petroleum Limited (“Key”) continue to build a foundation for growth as it increased its 
exploration efforts in the Perth and Canning Basins. During the period, the Company rationalised all of its Perth and Canning Basin 
interests  through  various  Sale  Agreements  and  joint  venture  partner  withdrawals,  these  events  have  allowed  Key  to  assume 
operatorship of all acreage in its exploration portfolio. This is a particularly important milestone for the Company at a time when there 
has been increasing regulatory cost burdens on conducting exploration activities in Western Australia and fundamentally places the 
Company in a strong position to commence a conventional oil exploration campaign in the next  financial  year  while  maintaining 
control of the costs. Financially, Key conducted a strategic placement of 19.9% of the enlarged capital structure to cornerstone investor 
ASF Group Limited (“ASF”). The goals of both ASF and Key are to unlock value in not only Canning Basin exploration projects but 
to seek out additional projects which reflect the goals and values presented to shareholders in 2012. 
During the financial year, Key conducted a geochemical survey in EP448 in the Canning Basin. The permit is regarded as frontier in 
terms of locality and infrastructure however survey results have now been integrated with vintage seismic and other geological data 
to identify two  mature prospects for drilling located  only a  few short hours’ drive from the  Great Northern Highway. In parallel, 
reviews around the Point Torment-1 and Stokes Bay-1 wells have identified prospective areas for conventional oil and gas only a short 
distance from the town of Derby where both oil and gas markets have been identified and infrastructure costs are not likely to be as 
costly as other areas of the Canning Basin. 
Other than exploration activities and prospectivity reviews, the Company has been active in acreage gazettal rounds and was successful 
in being the preferred bidder for Discrete Area L12-10. The acreage was identified as being along trend and in close proximity to 
geochemical anomalies in the adjacent EP448 block. Award of the exploration permit in relation to L12-10 will be made by the State 
Government once all Native Title negotiations have concluded. 
The activities undertaken during the year continue to follow the strategy for growth as outlined in 2012 with the Company appointed 
as Operator in acreage held and the evaluation of new opportunities.  The Company has also sought to minimise its exploration costs, 
which has been achieved in the first instance with the farmout of EP437 for the drilling of Dunnart-2 to Rey Resources Limited (“Rey”) 
in which Key  maintain an equity position  of 43.47%,  while remaining  as Operator and Rey contribute 86.94% of the costs of  the 
drilling of Dunnart-2 up to $1.7 million.  
Going  forward  the  Company  will  continue  its  focus  on  operated  exploration  activities  and  vertical  integration  of  new  business 
opportunities that will involve high equity positions that align with the Company’s exploration portfolio of interests. 

Exploration Outlook 

EP437 
Several  high  impact  prospects  were  identified  from  vintage  seismic  and  geological  data  in  EP437,  with  three  of  those  prospects 
identified for drilling in the short term. These prospects are Dunnart, Wye-Knot and Condor South. The lowest risk and most mature 
prospect, Dunnart was drilled with the commencement of the new financial year with exploration well Dunnart-2.  Options continue 
to be evaluated with regard to testing or a coordinated campaign with a smaller fit for purpose rig for both further exploration and/or 
completion operations with a view to carrying out production testing.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

EP448 
During the financial year, Key completed a 200km geochemistry soil survey, which encompassed an area over 2,000 square kilometres 
and was conducted by helicopter.  The survey was coordinated to facilitate on ground logistics in order to identify access routes for 
future well locations. 
Results of the geochemical survey were integrated with existing seismic data over EP448 locating an area of high propane anomalies 
adjacent  to  an  identified  source  area  for  oil  generation.  This  area  and  the  prospects  contained  within  them  have  been  named  the 
‘Darriwell Project’. Source rock work from conodont alteration index studies of wells drilled in and around the Darriwell Project area 
suggested that source rocks in EP448 including the Goldwyer, Nita and Willara Formations were in the peak oil generating window. 
The conclusion of the geochemical survey results and integration with data from the Darriwell Project area identified two mature 
prospects suitable for drilling in the southern Canning Basin, named Griffith and Patterson. Key’s evaluation of these prospects indicate 
the potential for significant recoverable resources and the Company is seeking a farmin partner in the  2014/2015 financial year to 
include exploration wells in this part of the Canning Basin with exploration in the EP104 area. Importantly, the Company has furthered 
negotiations with  Native Title parties in the northern part of EP448 for  heritage clearance  work around the Patterson and Griffith 
prospects with the work anticipated to be carried out either at the end of 2014 prior to the onset of the wet season or early 2105 at the 
conclusion of the wet season. 
EP104/R1/L15 
During the financial year the Company undertook a transaction with Buru Energy Limited, to increase its equity holding in both R1 
and  L15.  This  transaction  resulted  in  Key  becoming  Operator  of  the  permits  and  is  now  discussing  the  possibility  of  conducting 
workover  campaigns  in  L15  and  R1  with  an  interested  third  party.  A  planned  workover  in  West  Kora-1  would  be  carried  out  in 
conjunction  with  other  activities in  the  Lennard  Shelf  province  and  would include discussions  for  offtake  of  any  crude  either  via 
Broome Port or leveraging off other oilfield project synergies in the area. Geotechnical studies during the period identified the need 
to  remediate  the  Point  Torment-1  and  Stokes  Bay-1  causeways  and  it  is  the  intention  of  the  Company  to  not  only  undertake  the 
remediation work in the immediate future but to additionally mature workover campaigns in one or both wells and drill and additional 
prospect in R1. 

New Opportunities 
The Company has identified, and continues to assess, a number of new  venture opportunities congruent with the Company’s 2012 
strategic plan and it is likely that during the next financial year the Company will be participating in a number of exploration wells 
and new ventures. 

Outlook 
It has been a positive year for the Company, firming up the foundation for continued growth with the Board seeking to maintain a cash 
position  of  in  excess  of  $3  million.   The  Company  reiterates  its  commitment  to  deliver  value  to shareholders  and  retain  a  strong 
financial position at a time when there has been a shortage of liquidity in small equity markets and a lack of exploration activity in the 
Western Australian petroleum sector. The Company will maintain its lean corporate structure giving it ability to move quickly on any 
commercial opportunities and execute exploration projects at relatively low costs when compared to its peers. The prospects for Key 
remain positive with production testing and exploration activities currently being planned in the North Perth Basin in addition to a 
coordinated workover and exploration campaign in the Canning Basin. 

Finance Review 
The Group has recorded an operating loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2014 of $1,332,959 (2013: $2,371,464). 
At 30 June 2014 funds available totalled $3,410,031 (2013: $3,564,704).

Risk Management 
The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned 
with the risks and opportunities identified by the board. 
The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a 
separate risk management committee. 
The  board  has  a  number  of  mechanisms  in  place  to  ensure  that  management's  objectives  and  activities  are  aligned  with  the  risks 
identified by the board.  These include the following: 
•  Board  approval  of  a  strategic  plan,  which  encompasses  strategy  statements  designed  to  meet  stakeholders  needs  and  manage 

business risk. 
Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 
Other than as disclosed in this Annual Report, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial 
year. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 
No matters or circumstances, besides those disclosed at note 20, have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the  Group in 
future financial years. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 
The Group expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the Group’s

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its production and exploration activities. 
The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in 
compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation

REMUNERATION REPORT 
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration policy of Key Petroleum Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and 
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance 
areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The board of Key Petroleum Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate 
and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group. 
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is 
as follows: 
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives,  was developed by 
the board. All executives receive a base salary or an agreed fee (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) 
and  superannuation  or  GST.  The  board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  Group’s  performance,  executive 
performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain 
the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 
Executives are also eligible to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. 
The executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.25% for the 2014 financial 
year (9.5% effective 1 July 2014), and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice 
part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group. Based on each individual’s timesheet, costs are 
allocated to exploration projects and treated in accordance with the accounting policy described at note 1(p), or expensed where the 
time is not allocated directly to a project. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. 
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  (currently 
$500,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with 
shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are eligible to participate in the employee option 
plan.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

Performance based remuneration  
The Group currently has performance based remuneration components built into director and executive remuneration packages. 
Kane Marshall was issued 4,000,000 performance rights for nil consideration following shareholder approval granted at a General 
Meeting held on 6 August 2012. Half of the performance rights will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares 
as quoted on ASX increases by 100% from the share price reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during 
a calendar year. The other half will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as quoted on ASX increases 
by 150% from the share price reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during a calendar year. 
Ian Paton was issued 2,500,000 performance rights for nil consideration following shareholder approval granted at a General Meeting 
held on 6 August 2013. Half of the performance rights will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as 
quoted on ASX increases by 100% from the share price reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during a 
calendar year. The other half will vest if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as quoted on ASX increases by 
150% from the share price reference point for a consecutive period of at least 30 business days during a calendar year. 

Group performance, shareholder wealth and directors' and executives' remuneration 
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and 
directors’ and executives’ performance. The Company plans to facilitate this process by directors and executives participating in future 
option issues to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in 
increasing shareholder wealth. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
The Group did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2014. 

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting 
The Company received approximately 95% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2013 financial year. The Company did 
not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices. 

Details of remuneration 
Details of the remuneration of the directors and the key management personnel of the Group are set out in the following table. 
The key management personnel of the Group include the directors as per page 3 above. 
Given the size and nature of operations of the Group, there are no other employees who are required to have their remuneration disclosed 
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Board of Directors 
The Company's constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than nine.  There  is no 
requirement for any shareholding qualification. 
As  and  if  the  Company's  activities  increase  in  size,  nature  and  scope  the  size  of  the  board  will  be  reviewed  periodically,  and  as 
circumstances  demand.  The  optimum  number  of  directors  required  to  supervise  adequately  the  Company’s  constitution  will  be 
determined within the limitations imposed by the constitution. 
The  membership  of  the  board,  its  activities  and  composition,  is  subject  to  periodic  review.    The  criteria  for  determining  the 
identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience 
and achievement, compatibility with other board members, credibility within the Company's scope of activities, intellectual ability to 
contribute to the board's duties and physical ability to undertake the board's duties and responsibilities. 
Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company's 
constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) 
is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum 
period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, 
subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke any appointment. 
The board considers that the Group is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate 
or special committees (other than an Audit Committee) at this time.  The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of 
the full scope of the Group’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards. 

Role of the Board 
The board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value. 
To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance of the Group including 
its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. 

Appointments to Other Boards 
Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards. 

Independent Professional Advice 
The board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to 
seek independent professional advice at the Group’s expense.  With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director's 
rights and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld 
unreasonably. 

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance 
Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient 
to enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the Company.  Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to 
determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions.  
The  directors  recognise  that  petroleum  exploration  is  an  inherently  risky  business  and  that  operational  strategies  adopted  should, 
notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the Group.  

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance 
The Board recognises the need for the Company to operate with the highest standards of behaviour and accountability.  Subject to the 
exceptions outlined below the Company has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (2nd Edition) to determine an appropriate system of control and accountability to best fit the business and operations 
commensurate  with  these  guidelines.    Copies  of  corporate  governance  policies  are  accessible  on  the  Company's  website  at 
www.keypetroleum.com.au. 

As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope the implementation of additional corporate governance structures will 
be given further consideration. 
The Company has complied with each of the Eight Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations as published by the ASX 
Corporate Governance Council (2nd Edition), other than in relation to the matters specified below.

N/A 

A 

Acting in its ordinary capacity, the board from time to time carries out 
the  process  of  considering  and  determining  performance  issues.  The 
performance and remuneration of executive and non-executive Directors 
is reviewed by the board with the exclusion of the Director concerned. 
The  performance  and  remuneration  of  executive  management  is 
reviewed and approved by the board. 
The Company’s Board Charter is available on the Company website. 

The board compromises four directors, one of whom is independent (Rex 
Turkington).  The  board  believes  that  this  is  both  appropriate  and 
acceptable at this stage of the Company’s development. 
The Company only has one independent director, Rex Turkington, who 
was appointed Chairman of the board on 14 January 2014 following the 
resignation of Ian Paton. 
The positions of Chairman and Managing Director are held by separate 
persons. 

Given the Company’s size and the complexity of its affairs, it is not 
considered necessary to have a separate Nomination Committee. 
The full board undertakes the duties of a nomination committee. Acting 
in its ordinary capacity from time to time as required, the board carries 
out the process of determining the need for screening and appointing 
new directors. In view of the size and resources available to the 
Company, it is not considered that a separate nomination committee 
would add any substance to the process. 
Given  the  size  of  the  Company,  formal  procedures  for  evaluating  the 
performance of the board, committees and individual directors have not 
been  developed.  The  Company  conducts  these  aspects  on  an  ongoing 
basis and takes corrective action if required. 
The skills and experience of Directors as well as their period of office are

Companies should establish a policy 
concerning diversity and disclose 
the policy or a summary of that 
policy. The policy should include 
requirements for the Board to 
establish measurable objectives for 
achieving gender diversity and for 
the Board to assess annually both 
the objectives and progress in 
achieving them. 
Companies should disclose in each 
annual report the measurable 
objectives for achieving gender 
diversity set by the Board in 
accordance with the diversity policy 
and progress towards achieving 
them

Companies should disclose in each 
annual report the proportion of 
women employees in the whole 
organisation, women in senior 
executive positions and women on 
the board.

The Company has adopted a diversity policy which can be viewed on its

N/A 

A 

The Company has adopted a diversity policy which can be viewed on its 
website. The Company recognises that a diverse and talented workforce 
is  a  competitive  advantage  and  encourages  a  culture  that  embraces 
diversity.  However,  the  policy  does  not  include  requirements  for  the 
board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. 
Given the Company’s size and stage of development as an exploration 
company,  the  board  does  not  think  it  is  yet  appropriate  to  include 
measurable objectives in relation to gender. As the Company grows and 
requires  more  employees,  the  Company  will  review  this  policy  and 
amend as appropriate. 
The proportion of women employees in the whole organisation is 16.7%. 
There are currently no women in senior executive positions. 
There are currently no women on the board.

The Company has established an audit committee which comprises three 
members (Rex Turkington, Dennis Wilkins and Min Yang, who replaced 
Ian Paton). The charter for this committee is disclosed on the Company’s 
website.  In  addition,  the  board  as  a  whole  addresses  the  governance 
aspects  to  the  full  scope  of  the  Company’s  activities  to  ensure  that  it 
adheres  to  appropriate  ethical  standards.  All  matters  which  might 
properly  be  dealt  with  by  special  committees  are  subject  to  regular 
scrutiny at full board meetings. 

The Company only has one independent director. Sourcing alternative or 
additional directors to strictly comply  with this Principle is considered 
expensive with costs outweighing the potential benefits.

A = Adopted  
N/A = Not adopted 

The board considers that due to the size and complexity of the Company’s 
affairs  it  does  not  merit  the  establishment  of  a  separate  remuneration 
committee.    Until  the  situation  changes  the  board  will  carry  out  any 
necessary remuneration committee functions. The board undertakes this 
role  with  the  assistance  of  any  external  advice  which  may  be  required 
from time to time. 
Please refer to 8.1 above. 

o 
The  structure  of  non-executive  directors’  remuneration  is  clearly 
distinguished  from  that  of  executive  directors  and  senior  executives.  
Remuneration for non-executive directors is fixed.  Total remuneration 
for  all  non-executive  directors  is  not  to  exceed  $500,000  per  annum 
unless  approved  by  shareholders  at  the  Company’s  annual  general 
meeting. 
The Company has separate policies relating to the remuneration of non-
executive  directors  as  opposed  to  executive  directors  and  senior 
executives.  These policies provide a basis for distinguishing the type of 
remuneration which is suitable for the two classes.  
The level of remuneration packages and policies applicable to directors 
are  detailed  in  the  Remuneration  Report  which  forms  part  of  the 
Directors’ Report in this Annual Report. 

The  executive  directors  and  executives  receive  a  superannuation 
guarantee  contribution  required  by  the  government,  which  is  currently 
9.25%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 
Non-executive directors are entitled to statutory superannuation. There 
are no other schemes for retirement benefits for non-executive directors. 
Directors are prohibited from entering into transactions which limit the 
risk  of  participating  in  unvested  entitlements  under  any  equity  based 
remuneration scheme.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

30 JUNE 2014 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been 
consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise  stated.  The  financial  statements  are  for  the  consolidated  entity 
consisting  of  Key  Petroleum  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries.  The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  the  Australian  currency.  Key 
Petroleum Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised 
for issue by the directors on 25 September 2014.  The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

(a) Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Key Petroleum Limited is a for-
profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

(i) Compliance with IFRS 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Key  Petroleum  Limited  Group  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Group 
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations 
and effective for the current annual reporting period. 
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the first time for the annual reporting period 
commencing 1 July 2013 that are relevant to the Group include: 

 
 
 
 
 
 

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; 
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements; 
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; 
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement; 
AASB 119 Employee Benefits; 
AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities; and 
 
AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle. 
The  adoption of  all  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations has  not  resulted  in  any  changes  to  the  Group’s  accounting 
policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. However, the above standards have affected the 
disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. 

(iii) Early adoption of standards 
The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1  July 
2013. 

(iv) Historical cost convention 
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-
sale financial assets, which have been measured at fair value. 

(v) Going concern 
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and 
the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 
The Group incurred a loss for the year of $1,332,959 (2013: $2,371,464) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,802,920 
(2013: $2,037,031). 
The Group has exploration commitments due within twelve months of $4,573,785. 
The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is principally dependent upon successfully farming out 
its  expenditure  commitments  on selected  projects,  ultimately  developing  one of  its  oil  and  gas  permits  or  raising  additional  share 
capital.  These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern. 
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because: 

 

 

In light of the Group's current projects, the Directors believe that, if required, additional capital can be raised in the market within 
the ordinary  course  of  business.   This has  been  evidenced  by  the  Company  successfully  raising  $1,507,135  via  the  issue  of 
ordinary shares during the year; and  

If  required,  the  Directors  will  be  able  to  contain  certain  operating  and  exploration  expenditure  by  farming  out  the  Group's 
exploration commitments. 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other 
than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do 
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification 
of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity  when the 
Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from tis involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred 
to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses 
are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  the  impairment  of  the  transferred  asset.  Accounting  policies  of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively. 

(ii) Changes in ownership interests 
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of 
the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling 
interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling 
interests  and  any  consideration  paid  or  received  is  recognised  in  a  separate  reserve  within  equity  attributable  to  owners  of  Key 
Petroleum Limited. 
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying 
amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the 
retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 
This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. 
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only 
a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where 
appropriate. 

(iii) Interests in joint operations 
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and 
obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, 
which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 
When a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint operations, the Group as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest 
in a joint operation: 

its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; 
its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; 
its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; 
its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and 
its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 

 
 
 
 
 
The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the 
AASBs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. 
When a  Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a  Group entity is a joint operator (such as a sale or contribution of 
assets), the Group is considered to be conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation, and gains and losses 
resulting  from  the  transactions  are  recognised  in  the  Group's  consolidated  financial  statements  only  to  the  extent  of  other  parties' 
interests in the joint operation. 
When a Group entity transacts with a joint operation in which a Group entity is a joint operator (such as a purchase of assets), the 
Group does not recognise its share of the gains and losses until it resells those assets to a third party. 

(c) Segment reporting 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The 
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has 
been identified as the full Board of Directors.

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

(d) Foreign currency translation 
(i) Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is Key Petroleum Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

(ii) Transactions and balances 
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end 
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they 
are  deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and  qualifying  net  investment  hedges  or  are  attributable  to  part  of  the  net 
investment in a foreign operation. 
Translation  differences  on  financial  assets  and  liabilities  carried  at  fair  value  are  reported  as  part  of  the  fair  value  gain  or  loss. 
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are 
recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary  financial assets such as 
equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. 

(iii) Group companies 
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have 
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement 

 
of financial position; 

 
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless that is not a 
reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses 
are translated at the dates of the transactions); and 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. 

 
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and 
other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign 
operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified 
to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. 
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign 
entities and translated at the closing rate. 

(e) Revenue recognition 
The consolidated entity’s  revenue is derived primarily from oil sales.  Sales revenue is recognised when the physical product and 
associated risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser.  This is generally at the time of delivery to the purchaser’s premises.  
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets. 

(f) Income tax 
The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income 
tax rate  for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to 
unused tax losses. 
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting 
period  in  the  countries  where  the  Company’s  subsidiaries  and  associated  operate  and  generate  taxable  income.  Management 
periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  tax  returns  with  respect  to  situations  in  which  applicable  tax  regulation  is  subject  to 
interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted 
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the 
transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have 
been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is 
realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 
Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  and  tax  bases  of 
investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and 
it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when 
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the  entity has a 
legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

(g) Leases 
Leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the  Group,  as  lessee,  has  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are 
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, 
the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other 
short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged 
to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for 
each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life 
and the lease term. 
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as 
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss 
on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

(h) Business combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or 
other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: 

 

 

 

 

fair values of the assets transferred; 

liabilities incurred; 

equity interests issued by the Group; 

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and 

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 

 
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, 
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity 
on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s 
net identifiable assets. 
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 
The excess of: 

 

 

consideration transferred; 

amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity; and 

acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity; 

 
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net 
identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value 
as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which similar borrowing 
could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently 
remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. 
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest 
in the aquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised 
in profit or loss. 

(i) Impairment of assets 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, 
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  is 
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher 
of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest 
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at the end of each reporting period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

(j) Cash and cash equivalents 
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown 
within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

(k) Trade and other receivables 
Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful 
debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred. 

(l) Investments and other financial assets 
Classification 
The  Group  classifies  its  investments  in  the  following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and 
receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which 
the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of 
assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. 

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category 
if  acquired  principally  for  the  purpose  of  selling  in  the  short  term.  Derivatives  are  classified  as  held  for  trading  unless  they  are 
designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. 

(ii) Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. 
They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified 
as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position. 

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments 
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets quoted in an active market with fixed or determinable payments and 
fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other 
than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-
for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from 
the reporting date, which are classified as current assets. 

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets 
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated 
in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to 
dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated available-for-sale if they do not have 
fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. 

Financial assets - reclassification 
The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset 
is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be 
reclassified  out  of  the  held-for-trading  category  only  in  rare  circumstances  arising  from  a  single  event  that  is  unusual  and  highly 
unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of 
loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these 
financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification. 
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, 
and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for 
financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further 
increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively. 

Recognition and derecognition 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell 
the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through 
profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are 
expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the 
financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in 
the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities. 

28 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

Measurement 
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through 
profit or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial 
assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. 
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains 
or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the 
statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from 
continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. 
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed 
between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of 
the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in 
carrying  amount  are  recognised  in  equity.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  other  monetary  and  non-monetary  securities  classified  as 
available-for-sale are recognised in equity. 
Details on how the fair value of financial investments are determined are disclosed in note 25. 

Impairment 
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial 
assets  is  impaired.  A  financial  asset  or  a  group of  financial  assets  is  impaired  and  impairment  losses  are  incurred  only  if  there  is 
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) 
and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that 
can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the 
fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. 

(i) Assets carried at amortised cost 
For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present 
value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s 
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If 
a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current 
effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an 
instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. 
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring 
after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised 
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

(ii) Assets classified as available-for-sale 
If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference 
between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit 
or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. 
Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in a subsequent 
period. 
If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively 
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit 
or loss. 

(m) Plant and equipment 
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to 
the acquisition of the items. 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable 
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The 
carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance 
are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of 
their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, 
the shorter lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 40% per annum. 
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated recoverable amount (note 1(i)). 

29 

 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of 
comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect 
of those assets to retained earnings. 

(n) Intangible assets 
Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the consolidated entity’s share of the net identifiable 
assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible 
assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is 
tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is 
carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Gains  and  losses  on  the  disposal  of  an  entity  include  the  carrying  amount  of 
goodwill relating to the entity sold. 
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cash-generating units represents 
the Group’s investment in each country of operation (note 26). 

(o) Petroleum assets 
Petroleum assets are measured on the cost basis less amortisation and impairment losses.  The carrying amount of petroleum assets is 
reviewed bi-annually by Directors to ensure that it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.  The recoverable 
amount  is  assessed  on  the basis of  the  expected  net  cash  flows  that  will  be  received  from  the  assets  employment  and  subsequent 
disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 
Amortisation 
Amortisation of petroleum and gas licences, production facilities, field equipment and buildings are determined based on the proven 
and probable hydrocarbon reserves. 

(p) Exploration and evaluation costs 
Exploration, evaluation and development costs incurred are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. 
These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which: 
(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of area; or (ii) exploration and 
evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of 
economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing.  
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area 
are written off in the financial year the decision is made. 

(q) 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 the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 

(r) Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. 
The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms. 

(s) Employee benefits 
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

(ii)  Share-based payments 
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of  share-based payment transactions, 
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’). 
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the 
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting 
date’). 

30 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to 
which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately 
vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market 
performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. 
No  expense  is  recognised  for  awards  that  do  not  ultimately  vest,  except  for  awards  where  vesting  is  conditional  upon  a  market 
condition. 
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised 
for  the  award  is  recognised  immediately.  However,  if  a  new  award  is  substituted  for  the  cancelled  award,  and  designated  as  a 
replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original 
award. 

(t) Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

(u) Issued capital 
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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included 
in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

(v) Earnings per share 
(i) Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing 
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted 
for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

(w) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from 
the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

(x) Comparative figures 
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 
financial year.

(z) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to 
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement 
or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are: 

Exploration and evaluation costs 
Exploration and evaluation costs are accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. 
These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which: 
(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of area; or (ii) exploration and 
evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of 
economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing.  
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area 
are written off in the financial year the decision is made. 

Environmental Issues 
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, 
and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the 
directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. 

Taxation 
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. 
These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation 
legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  No  adjustment  has  been  made  for  pending  or  future  taxation  legislation.  The 
current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. 

Share-based payments 
Share-based payment transactions, in the form of options to acquire ordinary shares, are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing 
model.  This model uses assumptions and estimates as inputs. 

Provisions for rehabilitation 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions 

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 
30 June 2014 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this 
point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if: 
i. 
for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised; 
ii. 
iii. 
expenditure. 

the Group continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and 
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk with ageing analysis and impairment provided 
for thereon.  Amounts are considered to be ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled, with the terms and conditions agreed between 
the Group and the customer or counterparty to the transaction.  Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining 
solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to 
the Group. 
The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

12.  ISSUED CAPITAL (cont’d) 

(f) Capital risk management 
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue 
to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being petroleum exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, 
with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current 
working  capital  position  against  the  requirements  of  the  Group  to  meet  exploration  programmes  and  corporate  overheads.  The 
Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating 
appropriate capital raisings as required. Refer to Note 1 for  managements plans to remain a  going concern. The  working capital 
position of the Group at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 are as follows:

23.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

(a) Employees and contractors options 
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) and contractors of the Group in the form of share-based payment 
transactions,  whereby  options  to  acquire  ordinary  shares  are  issued  as  an  incentive  to  improve  employee  and  shareholder  goal 
congruence. The exercise prices of the options granted range from 2.5 cents to 7.4 cents, and the expiry dates range from 12 March 
2017 to 6 August 2017. 
Options  granted  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  exercisable,  each  option  is  convertible  into  one  ordinary  share  of  the 
Company with full dividend and voting rights. 
Set out below are summaries of the options granted:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 3.1 years (2013: 4.1 
years), and the exercise prices range from 2.5 to 7.4 cents. 
There were no options granted during the 2014 financial year. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the 2013 
financial year was 2.3 cents. The price was calculated by using the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model applying the following 
inputs: 

Weighted average exercise price (cents) 
Weighted average life of the option (years) 
Weighted average underlying share price (cents) 
Expected share price volatility 
Risk free interest rate

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future trends, 
which may not eventuate.  

The life of the options is based on historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

23.  SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (cont.) 

(b) Employees and contractors performance rights 
The  Group  provides  benefits  to  employees  (including  directors)  and  contractors  of  the  Group  in  the  form  of  share-based  payment 
transactions,  whereby  performance  rights  over  ordinary  shares  are  issued  as  an  incentive  to  improve  employee  and  shareholder  goal 
congruence. Performance rights granted to directors have no expiration date. 
Performance rights granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When each performance condition is satisfied, each performance right is 
converted into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights. 
Set out below are summaries of the performance rights granted: 

Outstanding at the beginning of the year

Key Petroleum Limited has provided unsecured, interest free loans to its wholly owned subsidiaries Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty 
Ltd, Puma Petroleum S.r.L. and Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd. Key Petroleum Limited had also provided unsecured loans to its wholly 
owned subsidiaries Key Petroleum (UK) Ltd and Funguo Petroleum Pty Limited with monthly interest charged at the BBSW rate plus 
2%. These loans were concluded upon sale of the respective subsidiary, refer note 28. An impairment assessment is undertaken each 
financial year by examining the financial position of each subsidiary and the market in which the respective subsidiary operates to 
determine whether there is objective evidence that any of the subsidiaries are impaired. When such objective evidence exists, the Group 
recognises  an  allowance  for  the  impairment  loss.  The  recovery  of  the  carrying  value  of  loans  to  subsidiaries  is  dependent  on  the 
successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective exploration areas of interest.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), 
credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and 
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. 
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Group believes that it is crucial for all board members  to be 
involved  in  this  process.  The  Managing  Director,  with  the  assistance  of  senior  management  as  required,  has  responsibility  for 
identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management. 

(a) Market risk 
(i) Foreign exchange risk 
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. 
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that 
is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The Group has not formalised a foreign currency risk 
management policy however, it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements. 
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Sensitivity analysis 
Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June  2014, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US 
dollar, the Euro or the British pound with all other variables held constant, there would have been an immaterial impact on the Group’s 
post-tax losses for the year (2013: Nil) and immaterial movements to the Group’s equity for both years presented. 

(ii) Price risk 
The Group was not directly exposed to price risk during the 2013 or 2014 financial years. 

(iii) Interest rate risk 
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest 
rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest  rate return. 
The  entire  balance  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  for  the  Group  $3,410,031  (2013:  $3,564,704)  is  subject  to interest  rate  risk.  The 
proportional mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current 
working capital requirements. The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 3.1% (2013: 
3.3%).

25.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.) 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 80 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables 
held  constant,  post-tax  loss  for  the  Group  would  have  been  $27,583  lower/higher  (2013:  $31,792  lower/higher)  as  a  result  of 
lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. 

(b) Credit risk 

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations 
that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

Credit risk is minimised by investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain AAA credit ratings and by ensuring customers 
and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. 

Credit Risk Exposures 

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date is equivalent to the carrying value and 
classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. 

All cash holdings within the Group are currently held with AAA rated financial institutions.  

(c) Liquidity risk 
The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  ensuring  sufficient  cash  and 
marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, 
being oil and gas exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity 
raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future 
funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.  Refer to Note 1 for managements plans to 
remain a going concern. 
The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.  Cash flows realised from financial 
assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation.  Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed.  The 
timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

(d) Fair value estimation 
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. 
All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their fair value. 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The  quoted 
market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. 
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to 
their short-term nature. 
As disclosed in note 1 should the Company not continue as a going concern then the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities 
may not reflect the true fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on a liquidation basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

30 JUNE 2014 

26.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

Identification of reportable segments 
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors 
(chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. 
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of geographic location of assets given that the type of work done in each location is of a 
similar nature. Operating segments are therefore determined on this basis. 

Types of activites by segment 

Australia 

The Australian segment is engaged in exploration for oil and gas in the company’s interests in Australia. 

Italy 

The Italian segment is engaged in exploration for oil and gas in the Company’s interests in Italy. 

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 
Accounting policies adopted 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments 
are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the 
Group. 

Inter-segment transactions 
An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-entity sales.  This price is re-set quarterly and is based on what would be 
realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm’s-length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation for 
the Group’s financial statements. 
Inter-segment  loans  payable  and  receivable  are  initially  recognised  at  the  consideration  received  net  of  transaction  costs.  If  inter-
segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. 
This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements. 

Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value 
from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. 
Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have 
not been allocated to operating segments. 

Segment liabilities 
Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the  operations  of  the 
segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the  Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment 
liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. 

Unallocated items 
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part 
of the core operations of any segment: 

 

 

 

 

 

Interest income 

Administration expenses

(i) Description 
On 6 July 2012 Key entered into an agreement to sell its subsidiaries Key Petroleum UK Limited and Key Petroleum Weald Basin 
Limited  (“UK  Operations”)  which  owns  and  operates  the  two  small  oilfields,  Lidsey  and  Brockham  in  the  Weald  Basin,  United 
Kingdom, to Angus Energy Weald Basin No.1 Ltd for £100,000 cash. The intention to sell was made during the 2012 financial year, 
with settlement occurring effective 31 July 2012, from which date the UK Operations ceased to be consolidated into the Group. 
On  16  November  2012  Key  executed  a  sale  agreement  to  sell  the  Group’s  Tanzanian  assets  through  the  sale  of  its  100%  owned 
subsidiary Funguo Petroleum Pty Limited (“Tanzanian Operations”) to Bounty Oil and Gas NL (“Bounty”). Sale proceeds consisted 
of US$250,000, of which US$205,480 was allocated to development costs of the Kiliwani North Development Licence, and shares in 
Bounty valued at $156,000. The Tanzanian Operations ceased to be consolidated into the Group from 16 November 2012 and its results 
are reported in these financial statements as a discontinued operation.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors for Key Petroleum Limited. 

Kane Marshall 
Managing Director 

Perth, 25 September 2014

Independent Auditor's Report 

To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Key  Petroleum  Limited  (“the 

Company”)  and  Controlled  Entities  (“the  Consolidated  Entity”),  which  comprises  the 

statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, and the statement of profit or loss and 

other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  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 and fair presentation of 

the  financial  report  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the 

Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is 

necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that  is  free  from  material 

misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  the  directors  also  state,  in 

accordance with Accounting Standards 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.  These Auditing 

Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 

engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  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 control 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  control.    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. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued) 

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical 

pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.  

Opinion 

In our opinion: 

a.  The financial report of Key Petroleum 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 2014 and of its 

performance for the year ended on that date; and 

ii. 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001;  

b.  The  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  disclosed  in 

Note 1. 

Emphasis of Matter 

Without  qualifying  our  opinion,  we  draw  attention  to  Note  1  in  the  financial  report  which  indicates  that  the 

Consolidated  Entity  incurred  a  net  loss  of  $1,332,959  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2014.    This  condition, 

along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast 

significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will 

realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the 

financial report. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014.  

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 Key Petroleum Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014, complies 

with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
