OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operations Review
The 2018/2019 Financial Year provided many positives for Key Petroleum (“Key”) shareholders, and significant achievements were made in
Key’s two focus areas: the Perth and Cooper-Eromanga basins. Having a well-established position in the Perth Basin, Key focussed on a new
phase of activity centred on the L7 (R1) Mt Horner acquisition, and the adjacent Wye Knot-1 drilling program in EP 437. Not long after the L7
transaction with AWE was finalised, Key announced that Triangle Energy (Global) Limited had agreed to commit US$3 million towards a 3D
seismic acquisition program and drilling in return for 50% participation in L7 (Mt Horner). The company also commenced remediation and
rehabilitations works on the existing Mt Horner infrastructure, with progress throughout the year meeting the approval of the inherited program
financiers Mitsui E&P Australia Pty Ltd.
Following the acquisition of ATPs 783, 920 and 924 (authorities to prospect), located in the Queensland portion of the Cooper Eromanga Basin,
Key was successful in negotiating a special amendment to the original proposed work programme activities in the permits. The revised work
programs saw a huge reduction in the remaining well commitments from eleven wells to one well across all three ATP’s. The remaining work
program, which largely consisted of 3D and 2D seismic reprocessing, was immediately addressed and completed prior to the permit renewal
period. During this period Key also announced that it had brought in a drilling participant in Pan Continental Oil and Gas NL (ASX: PCL) to
contribute towards ATP 924, being the drilling of the Ace Prospect in return for a 25% beneficial interest in the Ace Area of ATP 924, as well
as equity in ATP 920 that carries an option to increase from 20% to 35% by paying for the year 2 (renewal) seismic program. Studies over the
Cooper Eromanga Basin assets incorporating the reprocessed seismic data are ongoing and will be used to assist with the forward work
commitment programs for the renewed permit terms.
Key announced a maiden prospect to the market on 24 January 2019 for the “Tanbar” gas focussed area of the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. Efforts
to attract work program funding remain ongoing and Key remains confident of attracting investment in its position within this principal east
coast gas supply area.
The staggering discovery of gas intersected at West Erregulla-2 reignited interest in the Perth Basin, and a review by Key suggests that the
deeper Permian play has significant running room in Key’s portfolio of acreage, both onshore and offshore, in the northern Perth Basin.
Outlook
Key is planning for drilling multiple wells across its portfolio. Access terms to the Wye Knot-1 location were agreed during the financial year
and Key has made submissions for drilling approvals to DMIRS. Settlement for the L7 Mt Horner deal with Triangle Energy is expected in the
next financial year where planning for 3D seismic acquisition is anticipated imminently and then ultimately the drilling of two wells. In the
Cooper-Eromanga area flooding has limited access for heavy machinery, particularly in ATP 924 where the ‘Wild Rivers” area transgresses.
Rig slots are available for the coming financial year which would be suitable to drill the Ace Prospect and Key is preparing for the necessary
approvals. Several other parties have expressed interest in the acreage and Key is hopeful of progressing transactions that will accelerate drilling
of multiple wells within the renewal period of its Cooper-Eromanga portfolio.

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; and
Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

renewed; and
fund 26.67 % of the total costs and expenses of drilling a to be selected, exploration well to target depth including plugging and
abandoning the well (Dry Hole Costs) but excluding success case costs associated with testing and completing the well, with such
well costs to be capped at gross $3,000,000 (“on a 100% basis”).
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 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 Committee Charter 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 strategic goals. 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. 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.
6
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
The executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 2019 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.
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 Option Pricing 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.
In addition, Mr Marshall received 20,000,000 options for nil consideration following shareholder approval granted at the Annual General
Meeting on 22 November 2016. The options will vest where the average 30 consecutive day VWAP of the Company’s shares is equal or
greater than 1.5 cents.
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 2019.
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting
The Company received 94.9% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2018 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 JUNE 2019
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 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 27 September 2019.
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 the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its
operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group include:
•
•
•
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards;
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards; and
AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment
Transactions.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments (as amended) and the related consequential amendments to other
Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 allow
an entity not to restate comparatives however there was no material impact on adoption of the standard.
Additionally, the Group adopted consequential amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
In summary AASB 9 introduced new requirements for:
•
•
•
The classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities;
Impairment of financial assets; and
General hedge accounting.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related amending Standards
In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended) which is effective for an annual
period that begins on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 introduced a 5-step approach to revenue recognition. Far more prescriptive guidance
has been added in AASB 15 to deal with specific scenarios.
There was no material impact on adoption of the standard and no adjustment made to current or prior period amounts.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June
2019. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.
(iv) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the amount of share based payments
expense, which have been measured at fair value.
19
(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 $780,637 (2018: $1,256,336) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,931,628 (2018:
$1,619,547).
The directors have prepared an estimated cash flow forecast for the period to September 2020 to determine if the Company will require
additional funding during the next 15 month period. Where this cash flow forecast includes the likelihood that additional amounts will be
needed and these funds have not yet been secured, it creates uncertainty as to whether the Company will continue to operate in the manner it
has planned over the next 15 months.
Where the cash flow forecast includes these uncertainties, the directors are required to make an assessment of whether it is reasonable to assume
that the Company will be able to continue its normal operations. The directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is
appropriate based on the following factors and judgements:
•
•
•
•
•
The Company has access to cash reserves of $446,895 as at 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: $1,386,876);
The Company has successfully raised $463,283 (refer note 20) subsequent to the end of the reporting period;
The Company has the ability to adjust its exploration expenditure subject to results of its exploration activities and has a history of
attracting Farm-in partners to assist in funding exploration commitments;
The Company has raised $1,010,519 during the year via the issue of shares; and
The Directors anticipate the support of the Company’s major shareholders to continue with the advancement of the Company’s assets.
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 annual report. The annual report does 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, which exists only
when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
20
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. They are deferred in equity if they 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.
21
(e) Revenue recognition
Sales revenue from providing services to external parties is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed
price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services
to be provided because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. This is based on the actual labour hours spent relative to
the total expected labour hours. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the
financial assets.
(f)
Income tax
The Company formed a tax consolidated Group on 1 July 2016. The effect of the transition from single taxable entities to a tax consolidated
group is the re-setting of the tax bases for assets within the group and an adjustment to the available carry forward losses under the available
fraction calculation.
The head entity, Key Petroleum Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred
taxes and are measured on a stand-alone taxpayer basis. The Group currently does not have a tax sharing or tax funding arrangement.
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 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 to the former owners of the acquired businesses;
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.
22
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the:
•
•
•
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
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement 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. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure is assessed for
impairment indicators under AASB 6 paragraph 20 and where there are indicators of impairment the Company will test for impairment. Other
assets are tested 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 flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or
groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill 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)
Investments and other financial assets
(i) Classification
From 1 July 2018 the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
•
•
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss); and
Those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that
are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account
for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
(ii) Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell
the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred
and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through
profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets
carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of
principal and interest.
23
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow
characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
•
•
•
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal
and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective
interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other income or
expenses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI,
except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in
profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from
equity to profit or loss and recognised in other income or expenses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance
income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other income or expenses and
impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that
is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other income or expenses in the period in
which it arises.
Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value
gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the
Company’s right to receive payment is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other income or expenses in the statement of profit or loss as applicable.
Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes
in fair value.
(iv)
Impairment
From 1 July 2018 the Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
(v) Accounting policies applied until 30 June 2018
The Company has applied AASB 9 retrospectively but has elected not to restate comparative information. As a result, the comparative
information provided continues to be accounted for in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy.
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.
24
(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.
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.
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.
25
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.
(l) Plant and equipment
All plant and equipment are 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.
(m) Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in
the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied.
(i)
the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
(a)
(b)
the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the
area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable
assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in
relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, salaries of exploration
personnel, exploratory drilling and sampling and associated activities and depreciation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities.
General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to
operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration
and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The policy on impairment can be found at Note 1(i). The recoverable amount of the
exploration and evaluation asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset
in previous years.
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.
(n) 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. They
are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.
26
(o) 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) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The group also has liabilities for long service leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in
which the employees render the related service. These obligations are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration
is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are
discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as
closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for
at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) 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.
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.
(p) 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive
income within finance costs. Any changes to estimated costs or discount rates are dealt with prospectively.
(q)
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.
(r) 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.
(b) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax
effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed
to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
27
(s) 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.
(t) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial
year.
(u) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2019 reporting periods and have
not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New
standards and interpretations not mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Group.
Title and Reference
Nature of Change
Application date for entity
AASB 16 (issued February 2016)
Leases
1 July 2019
AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for
lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead
requires an entity to bring most leases onto its balance sheet in a similar
way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An
entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset
in its balance sheet for most leases.
There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months
or less and for low value leases.
Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117.
As at 30 June 2019, the Company has identified two contracts that would
be classified as leases under the new standard. The office premises and
some office equipment. The Company will record the asset and
associated liability at the transition date for this standard.
(v) 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. The write-off or carrying forward of exploration
expenditure is based on a periodic assessment of the viability of an area of interest and/or the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
This assessment is based on pre-determined impairment indicators, taking into account the requirements of the accounting standard, and with
the information available at the time of preparing this report. Information may come to light in subsequent periods which requires the asset to
be impaired or written down for which the directors are unable to predict the outcome. 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
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and taxation losses when the directors and management consider that
it is probable that sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Significant judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable
profits over the future period together with future tax planning strategies and the impact of the current income taxation legislation. Where there
are significant variables relating to generating taxable profits in the future and there is limited operating history, the Group will disclose the
unrecognised deferred taxes.
28
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 based on historical information available at the time the valuation was undertaken. This
historical information may not be indicative of the future result.
Provisions for rehabilitation
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities undertaken,
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured
reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.
The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value (including an appropriate discount rate relevant to the time
value of money plus any risk premium associated with the liability) of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the
reporting date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration
provision.
The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same
basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is
included in the cost of production for the period. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the
same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised
into the cost of the related asset.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June
2019 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)
the Group derives future assessable income of nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised;
(ii)
the Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
(iii) no changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Group in utilising the benefits.

Credit Risk – Trade and Other Receivables
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counterparties other than those
receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within note 24. The class of assets described as ‘trade and other receivables’ is considered
to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
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 quality.
The table below outlines the amounts due, past due and not impaired.

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation phases is dependent on the successful development and
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective petroleum interests.
During the 2019 financial year the Group completed the acquisition of Production Licence L7 (“L7”) for which Key received an exit payment
of $380,000 and assumed responsibility for the restoration activities at the site. The estimated cost for these activities has been recognised in
provisions (refer note 11), with a corresponding amount included in trade and other receivables as Key will be reimbursed by the original
seller of the asset up to a value of $1,900,000.
Also, during the 2019 financial year, the Group executed a Farmout Agreement with the Triangle Energy (Global) Limited group (“Triangle”,
ASX: TEG) in respect of L7. Triangle may earn a 50% interest in L7 by funding 100% of a work programme consisting of two new wells and
the acquisition of 3D seismic to a capped amount of US$3 million. Key will retain operatorship during the farmin period, whilst Triangle has
the right to cost recover out of oil production on a staged basis the expenditure it incurred on the farmin work programme.

The Cooper Basin project comprises ATP’s 783, 920 and 924 for which total capitalised exploration at 30 June 2019 included above is
$1,161,339. Four-year renewals have been submitted to the Queensland Regulator, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy for
these ATP’s. Work programme commitments as estimated on the renewals are included within the exploration commitments as shown in note
17(a).
On 14 May 2018 the Company completed a share swap with Rey Resources Limited to dispose of its interest in R1, L15 and EP104. The
transaction resulted in the Company disposing of a subsidiary which held the Canning Basin assets and acquiring a further interest in the
EP 437 Perth Basin asset.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of
and amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each
share is entitled to one vote.
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
(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 natures of the Group’s activities, being petroleum exploration, the Group does not have the 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 management plans to remain a going concern. The working capital position of the Group as 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018
are as follows:

Information on the classification of options
As the Group made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2019, the options on issue were considered anti-dilutive and were not included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share. The options currently on issue could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
22. 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 and on issue at 30 June 2019 range from 1.3 to 1.5 cents per option, with expiry dates ranging from 30 November
2020 to 27 March 2023.
Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1.8 years (2018: 2.3), and
the exercise prices range from 1.3 cents to 1.5 cents.

30 JUNE 2019
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was 0.6 cents. There were no options granted during the 2018 financial
year. The prices were calculated using a Black Scholes Option Pricing model applying the following inputs:
Weighted average exercise price (cents)
Weighted average life of the options
Weighted average underlying share price (cents)
Weighted average expected volatility
Weighted average risk free rate
2019
1.3

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. The
performance rights granted to directors and on issue at 30 June 2019 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:

At 30 June 2019, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 50 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 $3,636 lower/higher (2018: $6,880 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 a minimum of an A 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 A-1+ 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 management’s 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.

(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 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.
25. 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. During the period, the Group is managed
primarily based on one segment being oil and gas exploration in Australia.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Key Petroleum Limited (“the Company”) and its
subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion:
a.
the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i)
(ii)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June
2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations
Regulations 2001.
b.
the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards
as disclosed in Note 1.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those
standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance
with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of
the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued)
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1(a)(v) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of
$780,637 during the year ended 30 June 2019. As stated in Note 1(a)(v), these events or conditions, along
with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a)(v), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of
this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Capitalised Exploration Costs
As disclosed in note 9 to the financial statements, as
at 30 June 2019, the Group’s capitalised exploration
costs were carried at $3,673,214.
The recognition and recoverability of the capitalised
exploration costs was considered a key audit matter
due to:
Our audit procedures included but were not limited
to:
− Assessing management’s determination of its
areas of interest for consistency with the
definition in AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation
of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”);
− The carrying value of capitalised exploration
− Assessing the Group’s rights to tenure for a
costs represents a significant asset of the Group,
we considered it necessary to assess whether
facts and circumstances existed to suggest the
carrying amount of this asset may exceed the
recoverable amount; and
− Determining whether impairment indicators exist
involves significant judgement by management
sample of tenements;
− Testing the Group’s additions to capitalised
exploration costs for the year by evaluating a
sample of recorded expenditure for consistency
to underlying records, the capitalisation
requirements of the Group’s accounting policy
and the requirements of AASB 6;
− By testing the status of the Group’s tenure and
planned future activities, reading board minutes
and discussions with management we assessed
each area of interest for one or more of the
following circumstances that may indicate
impairment of the capitalised exploration costs:
− The licenses for the rights to explore expiring
in the near future or are not expected to be
renewed;
− Substantive expenditure for further
exploration in the area of interest is not
budgeted or planned;
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued)
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
− Decision or intent by the Group to
discontinue activities in the specific area of
interest due to lack of commercially viable
quantities of resources; and
− Data indicating that, although a development
in the specific area is likely to proceed, the
carrying amount of the exploration asset is
unlikely to be recorded in full from successful
development or sale.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the
related disclosures in the notes to the financial
statements.
Transaction with AWE Perth Pty Ltd
During the period the Group completed a transaction
with AWE Perth Pty Ltd (“AWE”) for the Production
License L7. As part of the agreement Key Petroleum
received an exit payment of $380,000 and is
required to decommission and perform rehabilitation
work on the wells outlined in the agreement. AWE
has agreed to reimburse Key Petroleum up to
$1,900,000 in costs incurred.
On initial recognition a rehabilitation provision and
corresponding restoration reimbursement receivable
for $1,718,016 was recognised and determined with
consultation from an independent expert.
Our audit procedures included but were not limited
to the following:
− Reviewing the Share Sale and Purchase
Agreement (“the agreement”) to obtain an
understanding of the key terms and conditions;
− Critically evaluating the accounting treatment in
accordance with the relevant Australian
Accounting Standards;
− Assessing the work of management’s expert
used in determining the rehabilitation value
adopted
As at 30 June 2019 the rehabilitation provision was
$1,336,500 (refer note 11) and the restoration
reimbursement receivable was $1,481,352 (refer
note 6).
− Testing the Group’s rehabilitative work
conducted by evaluating on a sample basis to
underlying supporting documentation and
compliance with the requirements of the
Accounting for the transaction constituted a key
agreement;
audit matter due to:
− The size and scope of the transaction;
− The complexities inherent in such a transaction;
and
− The judgement required in determining the value
of the decommissioning and rehabilitation.
− Discussions with management and the board
Assessing the appropriateness of relevant
disclosures in note 6 and 11 to the financial
statements
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued)
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial
report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors 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, the
directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial
Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
−
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued)
−
−
−
−
−
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our
audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report
in accordance with s 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.
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Key Petroleum Limited (Continued)
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2019, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
