CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Shareholders
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the consolidated entity (referred to as the ‘Group’) consisting of Key Petroleum Limited (referred
to as the ‘Company’) and the entities it controls.
The Company continues through 2022 to maintain stability and consistency despite the shadow of the disruption of COVID-19 over the last
few years which lingers in Australia and across the world. This uncertainty has disrupted our plans for the future, although there are increasing
signs that the worst maybe behind us.
In 2022 the Company had successfully implemented its strategy focussed on conventional oil and gas assets within Australia. Further the
Company sought to monetise its Perth basin asset in the face of increasing exploration costs and commitments.
At the end of the 2022 financial year the Company has successfully sold its interest in WA-481-P to Pilot Energy Limited, and its interests in
L7 and EP 437 to Triangle Energy Ltd. While the sale process for L7 and EP 437 has extended out beyond the end of this financial year the
Company remains insulated from any ongoing costs, which are covered by Triangle Energy. Notwithstanding this the Company is now taking
steps to complete this sale and permanently exit the permits.
These steps have enabled us to focus on the Cooper-Eromanga Basin assets in Queensland being ATPs 920, 924 and 783. The Company at
the end of last year was successful in having these Permits declared 'Project status' from the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and
Energy, Queensland which will now enable the Company to allocate its work program commitments and/or relinquishment requirements
across all the ATPs.
The directors of the Group see great potential in its Cooper-Eromanga Basin assets, particularly for gas, and are confident in delivering
enhanced shareholder wealth.
I want to sincerely thank all our loyal shareholders, lenders, clients, directors, employees and consultants for supporting us through this year.
More than ever, we are fully committed to a path of continuous growth and value creation for our shareholders and partners.
Yours sincerely
Geoff Baker
Chairman

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operations Review
For the financial year ended 30 June 2022, Key Petroleum Ltd (“Company”) focused on two areas, advancing its ATP 783, 920, and 924
assets in the Cooper Eromanga Basin readying them for eventual drilling, and progressing efforts for L7 and EP437 in the Perth Basin in
collaboration with Triangle Energy (TEG). Despite continued disruptions especially during the first half of the financial year created by
border closures for Queensland and Western Australia due to the Covid-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, and the recent floods in Queensland,
the Company was able to adapt, stay nimble, and continued to conduct its business with cost efficiency in these challenging times.
In July 2021, the Company received confirmation that the application for Project Status for Authority to Prospect (ATP) Numbers 783, 920
and 924 lodged with the Queensland regulator, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME), was approved. This enables
the Company to transfer commitments between the ATPs, allowing the Company to focus efforts on the most prospective areas.
During the first half of the financial year, the Company under direction from new management conducted a detailed review of its Cooper
Eromanga Basin exploration portfolio of ATPs 783, 920 and 924. High quality 3D seismic has uncovered data which indicates an early
formed structure, commonly regarded as an important success factor for Permian level prospects in the Cooper Basin. Conventional sandstone
reservoirs within the regionally productive Toolachee Formation are expected. The Prospective Resources for recoverable gas are estimated
ranging from: P90 33.9 Bcf / P50 97.1 Bcf / P10 227.4 Bcf, and Mean 122.5 Bcf*.
Following this detailed review, the Company has been developing a set of calculated steps to action the prospective leads / prospects with
planned activities and permitting to support test well(s). Activities ramped up in the 4th quarter which involved identifying drillable prospects
and preparing geological well proposals and design wells.
While slowed by external impacts stated above, the Company remains committed to drilling and unlocking the potential of its Cooper
Eromanga Basin assets.
During the financial year, the Company and TEG agreed several times to extend the Cut Off date for the Sale and Purchase Agreement for
Key’s remaining equity in EP 437 and L7 (Sale Agreement) to TEG, now slated for the end of September 2022. This is to accommodate a
number of delays involving L7 Mt Horner. Completion of the agreement requires the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry
Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), to approve the transfer of title. Work continues with DMIRS for this approval.
During the 2nd quarter, the Company and TEG entered into a Management Services Agreement where TEG will provide all operational
services in relation to the L7 and EP437 titles in the Perth Basin. The work executed during the full financial year includes a full clean-up of
the Mt Horner area with guided directions from DMIRS and preparations completed for the Bookara 3D Seismic Survey. During the 4th
quarter, the Company and TEG has requested and gotten approval from the Western Australian government for a 12 months Suspension with
Extension for EP437.
* Note: Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future
development project(s) related to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a chance of
development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially
moveable hydrocarbons.
Competent Person’s Statement: The Prospective Resources disclosed in this announcement are based on and fairly represent information
and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr John Begg. Mr Begg (BSc Geol) is a Geologist with more than
35 years’ experience, practising in Petroleum Geology and is a member of the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australian (PESA) and the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). Mr Begg has provided his prior written consent as to the form and context in which
the information that relates to the Prospective Resources is presented in this announcement.
5
Outlook
Key will continue efforts to attract investment for its Cooper Eromanga Basin assets, while at the same time continue to plan for its exploration
commitments. Efforts will ramp up towards seismic acquisition campaigns as several prospects are ready to be drilled. Key is working towards
drilling these in the current permit terms with a further 2-year renewal allowed.
Key continues to maintain its status as operator of L7 and EP 437 until the transfer of equities and title is completed. As per the Management
Services Agreement, all of the costs associated with related activities will continue to be paid for by Triangle. The Bookara 3D survey remains
on track to commence post the 12 months Suspension with Extension period.
Key maintains its shareholdings in Pilot Energy and its strategy towards renewable energy projects earmarked for the Midwest region of
Western Australia as the country marches towards a clean energy future through the Australian National Hydrogen Strategy.

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 often meets in tandem with
Audit and Risk Management Committee to discuss risk and strategy.
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.
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
On 21 September 2022 the Group announced it had entered into a Share Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) with Triangle Energy (Global)
Limited (“Triangle”) to sell to Triangle the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd and Key Midwest Pty
Ltd, who hold the Group’s interests in Production Licence L7(R1) and Exploration Permit EP 437. This new Agreement replaces the Sale and
Purchase Agreement between the Group and Triangle which was announced to ASX on 29 January 2021. The Agreement also sells to Triangle
the Company's 5% Petroleum Production Royalty for L7 and EP437. Total consideration for the transaction is $1.1 million to be paid as:
$100,000 cash due on the purchase of the interests from the prior Sale and Purchase Agreement; $500,000 cash on completion; and, $500,000
of Triangle shares to be issued on or before 30 June 2023.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the
operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.
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.
The executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 10% for the 2022 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(o) 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 no performance based remuneration component built into key management personnel remuneration packages.
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 2022.
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting
The Company received 98.9% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2021 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.

On 10 March 2020 the Board of Directors determined that there were no efficiencies to be gained by continuing the Audit and Risk Committee
and Remuneration Committee. It was resolved to disband these Committees. Instead the functions of these Committees are undertaken by
the full Board. When the Board is considering matters within the ambit of the Audit and Risk Committee Charter and Remuneration
Committee Charter, it will be guided by and, to the extent practicable, act in accordance with, those Charters. At such time when the Group
is of sufficient size, consideration will be given to reforming these Committees.
SHARES UNDER OPTION
There are no unissued ordinary shares of Key Petroleum Limited under option at the date of this report.
INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
During the financial year, Key Petroleum Limited paid a premium of $20,250 to insure the directors and secretary of the Company.
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, Hall Chadwick WA Audit Pty Ltd or associated entities during the year
ended 30 June 2022.
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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
30 JUNE 2022
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 2022.
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. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective
adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.
(iii) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2022 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 that they are not
expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
(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.
(v) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a loss for the year of $1,222,280 (2021: $2,233,603) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $765,561 (2021:
$770,826).
The directors have prepared an estimated cash flow forecast for the period to September 2023 to determine if the Group 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 material uncertainty as to whether the Group 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 Group 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 Group has access to cash reserves of $39,808 as at 30 June 2022 (2021: $45,903) and listed equity investments with a market value
of $226,803 as at 30 June 2022 (2021: $1,344,000);
The Group 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 Group has agreed a sale for its interests in the L7 and EP 437 projects for cash proceeds of $600,000 (of which $200,000 was received
as a non-refundable deposit in January 2021, a further $200,000 was received as a non-refundable deposit in August 2021 and a further
$100,000 was received as a non-refundable deposit in October 2021) plus a 5% gross overriding royalty payable on production from L7
and EP 437;
The Group has the ability to raise funds from equity sources; and
The Directors anticipate the support of the Group’s major shareholders to continue with the advancement of the Group’s assets.
Should the Directors not achieve the matters as set out above, there is a material uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern
and it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts 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
18
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.
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) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.
(e)
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
19
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 operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation
authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected
value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
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.
(f) Leases
The Group leases an item of office equipment with a five-year term. Upon commencement of the lease the Group recognised a lease liability
for this lease, measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being
10%.
Where the Group is lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the lease asset is available
for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the 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 right-
of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following
lease payments:
•
•
•
•
•
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a
similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
The Group’s current lease agreement does not contain any extension options.
Right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before commencement
date less any lease incentives received, and any initial direct costs.
Where the terms of a lease require the Group to restore the underlying asset, or the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a leased
asset, a provision is recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 137. To the extent that the costs relate to a right-of-use asset, the costs
are included in the related right-of-use asset.
Where leases have a term of less than 12 months or relate to low value assets the Group may apply exemptions in AASB 16 to not capitalise
any such leases and instead recognise the lease payments on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.
(g) 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:
20
•
•
•
•
•
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.
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.
(h)
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.
(i) 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.
(j)
Investments and other financial assets
(i) Classification
The Group 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.
21
(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.
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
The Group 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.
(k) 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 5% 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(h)).
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.
(l) 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
22
(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(h). 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.
(m) 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.
(n) 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.
(o) 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
23
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.
(p)
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.
(q) Earnings per share
(i)
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity
other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) 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.
(r) 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.
(s) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial
year.
(t) 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.
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.
24
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.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the Company
based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing
and geographic regions in which the Company operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either
any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the
Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Assets held for sale
During January 2021 the Group announced it had entered into the Agreement and Royalty Deed with Triangle Energy (Global) Limited
(Triangle) to sell to Triangle Key Petroleum’s 50% participating interest in L7 and Key Petroleum and Key Midwest’s combined 86.94%
interest in EP 437. The Board considered the sale agreement met the criteria to classify the L7 and EP 437 assets and associated liabilities as
held for sale from the date of execution. The subsequent extensions to the agreement have not resulted in a change to the classification. For
more details on the assets and liabilities held for sale refer to note 10(2).

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June
2022 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.
In April 2017, the Australian Government enacted legislation which reduces the corporate rate for small and medium business (base rate)
entities from 30% to 25% over the next decade. For the 2017 financial year the corporate tax rate reduced to 27.5% for small business entities
with turnover less than $10 million. This turnover threshold progressively increased until it reached $50 million in the 2020 financial year.
For the 2021 financial year, the tax rate decreased to 26% and then 25% for the 2022 and later financial years. Key Petroleum Limited satisfies
the criteria to be a base rate entity.

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 26. 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.

Triangle is guaranteeing the performance by the Triangle subsidiary acquiring the interest under the Agreement and the
Royalty Deed.
The fair value of the disposal group was determined by reference to the estimated fair value of the consideration receivable. This
resulted in the recognition of impairment during the 2021 financial year of $2,162,815 for capitalised exploration costs and $158,005
for plant and equipment. Following recognition of this impairment, receipt of the non-refundable deposits has been treated as disposals

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 programs 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 2022 and 30 June
2021 are as follows:

2022
$
2021
$
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and accounts
receivable and payable.
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 as detailed in the accounting policies to these
financial statements, are as follows:
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Loans and receivables
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial
position at fair value through the profit and loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. At the reporting date, the Group has
investments in ASX listed equity securities.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s equity investments are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and are all classified at fair value through the profit or
loss. At 30 June 2022, if the value of the equity investments held had increased/decreased by 15% (2021: 15%) with all other variables held
constant, post tax loss for the Company would have been $34,020 lower/higher (2021: $201,600) as a result of gains/losses on the fair value
of the financial assets.
(ii)
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest rate
yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The entire
balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Group of $39,808 (2021: $45,903) is subject to interest rate risk. The weighted average interest
rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 0.8% (2021: 2.5%).
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2022, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 (2021: -/+ 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 $1,779 lower/higher (2021: $901 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher
interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
(b) Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that
could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
Credit risk is minimised by investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain 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.
40
30 JUNE 2022
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable
securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being oil and gas
exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of
Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view
to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Refer to Note 1 for 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.

(d) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All
financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their fair value.
The 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 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 2022, 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)
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
(ii)
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(a)(i).
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.
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
$1,222,280 during the year ended 30 June 2022. 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 (Note 10)
At balance date, the Group’s capitalised
at
exploration
carried
costs
are
$1,431,433.
The recognition and recoverability of the
costs was
exploration
capitalised
considered a key audit matter due to:
• The carrying value of capitalised
represents a
costs
exploration
significant asset of the Group, we
considered it necessary to assess
facts and circumstances
whether
to suggest
the carrying
existed
amount of this asset may exceed the
recoverable amount; and
• Determining whether
impairment
indicators exist involves significant
judgement by management.
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”);
• Assessing the Group’s rights to tenure for a sample of
permits and licenses;
• 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:
o The licenses for the rights to explore expiring
in the near future or are not expected to be
renewed;
o Substantive expenditure for further exploration
in the area of interest is not budgeted or
planned;
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
o 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
o 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; and
• Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures
in the financial statements.
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 2022, 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(a)(i),
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.
• 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 2022.
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.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2022, complies with
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
