PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Group during the year were the acquisition of petroleum permits, and the exploration of these permits with the objective of identifying economic oil and gas reserves. DIVIDENDS No dividends were paid or declared during the year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Operations Review The 2015/2016 financial year has seen Key Petroleum Limited (“Key”) continue to build a foundation for growth by reducing costs corporately and seeking additional acreage opportunities that fit with the Company’s capabilities and strategic direction. During the year there was Geological and Geophysical mapping in EP104 with reprocessed seismic in EP104 further derisking the Black Rocks Prospect with evidence of potential direct hydrocarbon indicators in the form of gas chimneys over the structure and amplitudes at reservoir level. In EP437 there was a technical review conducted aimed at derisking prospects for drilling in 2017. 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 Well pre-planning is scheduled for the coming year with a focus on the Wye Knot prospect and other prospects in the southern part of the permit. EP104/R1/L15 During the year seismic reprocessing was undertaken in EP104. An application to carry out a geochemical survey in EP104 has been lodged with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (“DMP”). Subsequent to the end of the financial year Retention Lease R1 was renewed for a further 5 years and planning is currently underway for an Airborne Aerial Electromagnetic survey as part of the first year of the renewed phase in R1. EP448 Subsequent to the end of the financial year Key surrendered Exploration Permit EP448 in the Canning Basin. New Opportunities The Company has identified, and continues to assess, a number of new venture opportunities congruent with the Company’s 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. Subsequent to the end of financial year the Company acquired a 40% interest in WA-481-P, a prospective offshore Perth Basin exploration permit. The acquisition is subject to approval by National Offshore Petroleum Title Administrator (“NOPTA”). 4 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Outlook 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. Exploration activities are also being planned for the North Perth Basin and potentially new projects. Finance Review The Group has recorded an operating loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $2,186,709 (2015: $2,117,735). At 30 June 2016 funds available totalled $1,573,472 (2015: $2,648,442). 5 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Operating Results for the Year Summarised operating results are as follows: Consolidated entity revenues and loss Shareholder Returns Basic loss per share (cents) Risk Management 2016 Revenues $ Results $ 75,686 (2,186,709) 2016 (0.28) 2015 (0.35) 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 stakeholder’s needs and manage business risk. Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets. 6 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) 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 Subsequent to the end of the year:-  Key was offered a renewal of Retention lease R1 subject to a revised work program. Key accepted the offer and the Retention Lease was renewed for a further 5 years to 2021.  Key surrendered Exploration permit EP448 in the Canning Basin, Western Australia.  Key acquired a 40% interest in offshore Perth Basin Exploration permit WA-481-P. 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 operations. 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 for the year under review. The Group is in compliance with the various environmental legislation and regulations that govern its activities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. 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 9.5% for the 2016 financial year, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. Given the low oil price environment, effective from 1 February 2016 Non-Executive Directors agreed to reduce their fees by 25%. 7 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer also reduced salaries by 30% and 20% respectively effective from 1 February 2016. 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 share option plan. 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. 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 2016. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting The Company received approximately 98% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2015 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. 8 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) Key management personnel of the Group Short Term Benefits Post-Employment Benefits Long-Term Benefits Equity- Settled Share- Based Payments Salary & Fees Profit Share & Bonuses Non- Monetary Other Pension & Super- annuation Other Incentive Plans LSL Shares/ Units Options/ Rights Cash- Settled Share Based Payments Termin -ation Benefits Total $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Directors Rex Turkington(1) (appointed 18 July 2013) 2016 53,750 2015 60,000 Kane Marshall 2016 218,750 Dennis Wilkins(2) Min Yang (appointed 28 January 2014) Geoff Baker (appointed 28 January 2014) Executives Robert Ierace (appointed 31 October 2014) 2015 250,000 2016 28,666 2015 39,982 2016 28,666 2015 42,666 2016 28,666 2015 10,666 2016 161,875 2015 122,575 Total key management personnel 2016 520,373 2015 525,889 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 20,781 23,750 - - - - - 15,378 11,401 36,159 35,151 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 12,880 12,844 29,713 29,633 7,428 7,408 - - - - 27,000 50,021 76,885 - - - - - - - - - - - - 66,630 72,844 269,244 303,383 36,094 47,390 28,666 42,666 28,666 10,666 177,253 160,976 606,553 637,925 (1) (2) In addition to the above remuneration, which is for Mr Turkington’s services as director, a total of $6,000 was paid in 2015 to Katarina Corporation Pty Ltd, a business of which Mr Turkington is principal.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities. NON-AUDIT SERVICES There were no non-audit services provided by the entity's auditor, Bentleys, or associated entities. PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or any part of those proceedings. No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Group with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 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 21 September 2016. 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 ending 30 June 2016 that are relevant to the Group include:     AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments; AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Part E: Financial Instruments) AASB 2014-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards from AASSB 9 (December 2014) – Application of AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010) AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality 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 2015. (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 $2,186,709 (2015: $2,117,735) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,770,647 (2015: $2,357,653), and has exploration commitments due within twelve months of $959,240. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Group has current provisions for rehabilitation of $2,479,543, however as disclosed in note 11 to the financial statements subsequent to year end a renewal of Retention Lease R1 for a further 5 years was granted by the DMP resulting in a deferred of this provision until 2021. 20 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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. 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 $700,000 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. Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required. 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. (b) Principles of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries 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 its 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, 21 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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. (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. 22 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (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. 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. 23 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (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. 24 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (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. (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. 25 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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. 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. 26 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (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)). 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. 27 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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. (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’). 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. 28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 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 and Asset Retirement Obligation 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. When this provision gives access to future economic benefits, an asset is recognised and then subsequently depreciated in line with the life of the underlying producing asset, otherwise the costs are charged to the income statement. The unwinding of the discount on the provision is included in the income statement within finance costs. Any changes to estimated costs or discount rates are dealt with prospectively. (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 (a) 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. 29 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (y) New accounting standards and interpretations The group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group during the financial year. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016. The group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the group, are set out below. AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the group. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the group. 30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right- of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the group. 31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) (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 non-current provision for rehabilitation relates to the West Kora 1 well and disused production facilities in Production License L15. The estimate is based upon converting the well to a water well following confirmation from the pastoral lease owner and removing the tank farm and restoring the site back to its original condition. This estimate requires judgemental assumptions regarding the engineering methodology for estimating cost, future removal technologies in determining the removal cost, and liability specific discount rates to determine the present value of these cash flows. The current provision for rehabilitation relates to Retention Lease 1 in the Canning Basin and is based upon an estimate to plug and abandon the Stokes Bay 1 and Point Torment 1 wells using a completion rig as well as removal of the causeway to each of the well pads. The causeway removal includes replacement of gravel to the original borrow pit. 32 2016 $ 2015 $ 47,456 20,351 7,879 - 75,686 68,897 71,818 9,084 98,499 248,298 45,287 56,324 45,017 39,814 - - - - - - (2,186,709) (2,117,735) (656,013) (635,320) 19,463 4,334 (632,215) 415,580 29,130 7,892 (598,298) (143,930) 216,635 742,228 - - 30 JUNE 2016 2.

These benefits will only be obtained if: i. the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised; ii. the Group continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure. 5.

The causeway removal includes replacement of gravel to the original borrow pit. Subsequent to the end of the financial year the renewal of Retention Lease R1 for a further five year was granted by the DMP. As at the date of this report the rehabilitation current liability relating to R1 ($2,479,543) is deferred until 2021.

ISSUED CAPITAL (cont’d) (vi) 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 2016 and 30 June 2015 are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Provisions Working capital position 2016 $ 2015 $ 1,573,472 2,648,442 146,463 (154,395) 322,651 (449,595) (2,479,543) (2,479,543) (914,003) 41,955 The current provision relates to the rehabilitation estimate for Retention Lease 1 in the Canning Basin which has an expiry date of 31 January 2016. Subsequent to the end of the financial year the DMP granted a renewal of Retention Lease R1 for a further 5 years and as such the current liability of $2,479,543 is deferred for a further 5 years . 13.

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: 2016 2015 Number of options Weighted average exercise price cents Number of options Weighted average exercise price cents Outstanding at the beginning of the year 33,500,000 5.2 27,500,000 Granted Forfeited/cancelled Exercised Expired Outstanding at year-end Exercisable at year-end - - - - 33,500,000 6,500,000 - - - - 5.2 2.5 6,000,000 - - - 33,500,000 6,500,000 6.1 1.287 - - - 5.2 2.5 The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1.4 years (2015: 2.4 years), and the exercise prices range from 1.287 to 7.4 cents. During the previous financial year 6,000,000 options were granted. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the 2015 financial year was 0.5 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 2015 1.287 4 0.9 89.37% 2.00% 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. (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. 43 30 JUNE 2016 24.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 2016 $ 2015 $ The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts receivable and payable. The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Loans and Receivables Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Total Financial Liabilities Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Sensitivity analysis 1,573,472 146,463 1,719,935 2,648,442 154,482 2,802,924 154,395 154,395 449,595 449,595 NZD 2016 NZD 2015 22,112 16,587 - - - - At 30 June 2016, 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 $14,647 lower/higher (2015: $18,096 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. (a) 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. (b) 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. 45 Financial Liability and Financial Asset Maturity Analysis Within 1 Year 1 to 5 Years Total 2016 $ 2015 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ Financial liabilities due for payment Trade and other payables (excluding estimated annual leave) Total contractual outflows Financial assets – cash flows realisable 100,414 397,052 100,414 397,052 Cash and cash equivalents 1,573,472 2,648,442 Trade and loan receivables 146,463 322,651 Total anticipated inflows 1,719,935 2,971,093 Net inflow on financial instruments 1,619,521 2,574,041 - - - - - - - - - - - - 100,414 397,052 100,414 397,052 1,573,472 2,648,442 146,463 322,651 1,719,935 2,971,093 1,619,521 2,574,041 (c) 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. 27. SEGMENT INFORMATION Identification of reportable segments The Company 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. During the period, the Company is managed primarily on the basis of one segment being oil and gas exploration in Australia. 28.

The directors have been given the declarations by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001. This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors for Key Petroleum Limited. Kane Marshall Managing Director Perth, 21 September 2016 47 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 2016, 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(a)(i), 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 have complied with the independence requirements of 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 2016 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(a)(i). Emphasis of Matter Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a)(v) in the financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $2,186,709 during the year ended 30 June 2016. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a)(v), indicates 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 2016. 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 2016, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
