On July 3rd, 2017 Transerv Energy became Whitebark Energy, in order to better reflect the Company’s focus on Canada, following the acquisition of 20% of Point Loma Resources Ltd’s assets in Alberta, Canada (the PLJV). Whitebark acquired the interest in the PLJV because it saw that there were many opportunities for growth in this mostly Mannville play area. A lot of historical vertical well production from an area of limited porosity and permeability pointed to the viability of horizontal stimulated wells. During the year the Company’s share of the PLJV production was 90,238 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). From acquisition until June 30 2018 net production has increased 100% to 361 BOE/D and net reserves 145% to 2036 MBOE via drilling and acquisition. Additionally, the PLJV has some 19,000 acres of Duvernay Rights which is a fast-developing oil play in and around the PLJV lands. The PLJV has a solid plan to deliver additional growth for the current financial year and will keep shareholders informed as it progresses. In Western Australia the Company also participated for 15% in the Xanadu discovery on/offshore WA and became the 100% owner of the Warro Gas Field which remains suspended under the WA Government fracking moratorium. Plans for shooting 3D seismic over Xanadu are progressing prior to drilling an appraisal well. The Company raised $1.85 million in November 2017 and post balance date has finalised a capital raising of $2.33 million before costs to further its Canadian plans. While the company’s share price has not matched the asset growth your board believes that it has built a strong base for growth. Thank you for your support during the year, Yours sincerely, Charles W Morgan Chairman 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 4 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Review of Operations Review Of Operations 1.1 Overview During the 2018 financial year the Company produced 90,238 barrels of oil equivalent, increased 2P reserves by 145%, drilled an oil discovery well at Xanadu-1 in the offshore Perth Basin and identified an additional 40 million barrels of in place oil resources in a successful 3D seismic campaign in Canada. Net production from the Point Loma Joint Venture (PLJV) for the 2018 financial year was 10,736 barrels of oil, 3,374 barrels of NGL’s and 456 mmcf of gas with revenue of $1.95 million dollars. Activities were focussed on growing the Company’s Canadian assets by increasing production and adding to the land and facilities. Operations became cash positive during the second half of the 2018 financial year. In Western Australia, the Xanadu-1 well was drilled in the first half of the financial year, resulting in an oil discovery. A follow-up 3D seismic survey planned for the first half of 2018 has been delayed due to environmental approval constraints but approvals are now expected in time to enable acquisition in FY2019. Other operations at Warro in Western Australia, have paused due to the State Government Fraccing Inquiry. The company is ready to restart activities when the moratorium is lifted. 1.2 Canadian Operations The PLJV assets held with Point Loma Resources have grown in the past 12 months as described below. The Company plans to continue to grow is Canadian assets during FY 2019 through a combination of acquisitions and an active drilling program which will commence in December 2018. 1.2.1 Acquisitions The Gilby Acquisition was announced on 21 March 2018 and comprised approximately 26,500 gross acres of land and associated facilities. These assets are adjacent to the PLJV’s existing landholdings and were producing approximately 450 boe/d with 30% being oil and NGLs. The assets included significant upside potential with booked Proved and Probable undeveloped reserves as well as numerous exploration locations with multi-zone potential across the Mannville, Cardium and Duvernay zones. On 2nd May 2018, the Company announced the final payment of CAN$143,965 for the Gilby acquisition on 30th April, taking WBE’s total cost of the acquisition to CAN$328,266 for a 30% share of the asset. Smaller acquisitions were made in the first half of the financial year which expanded and consolidated the PLJV’s core Paddle River Oil Project. 1.2.2 Development Activity 1.2.2.1 5-31 Nordegg Recompletion – West Cove The 5-31 Nordegg well in the West Cove area was placed on production in October 2017 with initial production between 100-160boe/d. It should be noted that this production is only from a short lateral intersecting the upper Nordegg. It is expected that longer horizontal laterals would produce at higher rates. The well pad is configured for two additional wells, which would produce through the existing pipeline infrastructure enhancing the economics of future wells (Refer ASX release dated 24 October 2017). In addition to the Nordegg pool, the area has an underlying Banff oil target. During the period, 3D seismic was acquired to delineate the Nordegg pool further and assist in evaluating the Banff and other deeper targets. A further 5,760 acres of leases over surrounding acreage were acquired to secure the Nordegg and Banff potential (see exploration section below). 1.2.2.2 Paddle River – Additional Wells and Drilling Locations The 1-32 horizontal development well was drilled into the Ostracod A pool. As expected, the well encountered oil shows. The JV is planning to sidetrack the identified oil pay zone. (Refer ASX release dated 11 October 2017). In addition, the previously announced, acquired horizontal well (drilled in 2014), was transferred and placed on production in November 2017. Two additional, potential horizontal drilling opportunities are also supported on the acquired land. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 5 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Review of Operations The PLJV has identified a means to significantly reduce operating costs of the field by converting a non-productive horizontal well on the periphery of the field to a water injector. The associated plant and equipment will be sourced from other facilities owned by the JV. This water injection project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019 and result in an ~$80,000/month reduction in field opex. 1.2.3 Exploration 1.2.3.1 Thorsby Area - 11-18 Glauconite and 9-18 Sparky Wells The 11-18 Glauconite well was recompleted and is presently producing gas at an average rate of 800 mcf/day. WBE has an 80% interest in this well until payout of the cost of the associated pipeline. The neighbouring 9-18 horizontal Sparky exploration well which was drilled and completed, is presently shut in due to poor performance. 1.2.3.2 Westcove 3D The PLJV undertook a 3D Seismic Program during the third quarter of the financial year in the Westcove area (Refer ASX Release 30 May 2018). The data were processed and tied to adjacent surveys and wells and interpretation of those results continues. The program identified significant new drilling targets with potential for over 40 million boe in place adjacent to the PLJV’s Paddle River oil field. The main objective of the 3D program was to define the extent of the Nordegg oil accumulation being produced by the PLJV’s horizontal well 5-31 and provide guidance on the optimal location and direction for a planned Nordegg horizontal development well. A secondary objective was to delineate the extent of an underlying Banff Oil play in the surrounding area and in the NW portion of the survey around well 8-11. The 3D delivered valuable information on these objectives and also identified a potential Ostracod oil pool which appears to be analogous to the adjacent PLJV Paddle River Ostracod oil field (Figure 1). The 3D defined the areal extent of the Nordegg pool accumulation around well 5-31 to the north and west, and suggests the potential for further development wells. In the NW part of the 3D (Figure 2), the data indicate a Banff level closure with a seismic amplitude anomaly which is usually associated with a thickening of the reservoir unit (Figure 2 and Figure 1). Importantly, well 8-11, which drilled through the feature, appears to contain by-passed pay at the Banff level with the unit yielding high gas readings, strong oil related fluorescence and indications of pay on the electric logs. Figure 1 - Westcove 3D Timeslice showing location of prospects and Paddle River Pool To the west of the Westcove 3D area, the PLJV operates the Paddle River Ostracod oil field which is held in a stratigraphic trap formed by the reservoir unit pinching out up-dip within a paleo valley. The 3D has identified an analogous configuration within the Westcove area (Figure 1) where the presence of a low with a seismic thickening at the Ostracod level suggests the potential for an oil accumulation akin to the Paddle River field. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 6 The potential unrisked resources for all the features described above are set out in Table 1.

These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery, as well as a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a commercial quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. Gas to liquid conversion factor of 6 has been used in the resource estimates to deal with volumes of associated gas. 1.2.3.3 Duverney Shale Oil Acreage Surrounding Whitebark Lands Whitebark currently has a 20% interest in approximately 19,000 gross acres (3,800 net acres or ~6 net sections) in the West Duvernay Basin with Point Loma Resources as part of its PLJV holdings. The May 20th Alberta land sale by the Alberta Government recorded increased transaction activity attracting C$42m of sales with the majority of the acreage posted within the West Duvernay shale oil basin. Several large parcels of land, with combined acreage of 82,820 acres, and located just to the southeast of PLJV lands were bought for C$33.3 million or an average price of C$347/acre (Refer ASX Release 6 June 2018). The Duvernay shale is an emerging oil play which continues to attract increasing industry activity and attention, with an estimated 150 horizontal oil wells drilled mostly in the East Duvernay Basin. An analysis by Point Loma of technical data from the West Duvernay Basin indicates similar reservoir characteristics to the East Duvernay Basin, where contingent resources of 10 to 15 million barrels per section of original oil in place have been stated by other operators. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 7 Point Loma’s analysis shows that the West Duvernay Basin shale has a thickness of approximately 10 to 15 metres, with porosities ranging from 3 to 10% and TOC’s in the range of 2 to 10% which are parameters comparable to other successful North American shale plays and those seen in the East Duvernay Basin. WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Review of Operations Figure 3 – Land Holding within the Duvernay Basin Oil Play (Left) and Duvernay Shale Oil Fairway Information (Right) Three horizontal Duvernay shale oil wells have been drilled by other operators to date in 2018 within Whitebark’s core area of operations at Paddle River. The results of these wells have not yet been publicly disclosed. 1.2.4 Reserves Growth The Reserve and Resources Statement below documents the Company’s Reserves to 30 June 2018 and represent a 70% and 145% increase in its Canadian 1P and 2P reserves to 1124 mboe and 2036 mboe respectively over the last 12 months. Figure 4 - WBE Canada Net Reserve Growth 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 8 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Review of Operations 1.3 Western Australia The Company has interests in two areas in the Northern Perth Basin. 1.3.1 Xanadu Oil Discovery: TP/15: WBE- 15% Norwest Energy Ltd (Operator) lodged the Xanadu Discovery Report with the DMIRS on 20th December 2017. The Xanadu-1 discovery has confirmed the entrapment of oil in sands of the upper Irwin River Coal Measures (IRCM) in the structure, which lies immediately adjacent to the coastline in state waters, 40 km south of the township of Dongara. While analysis of the oil recovered from Xanadu-1 continues, initial results reveal the oil has an API gravity of 34.7o with no H2S and extremely low levels of CO2 (0.02%). The Xanadu crude is similar to the crude produced at the Cliff Head oil field and, upon development, is expected to receive similar pricing in the market. The minimal levels of CO2 and no H2S detected will enable the use of lower-cost and schedule efficient development options. Reservoir quality sands were encountered throughout the IRCM with porosities generally ranging from 15% to 16%. Three discrete sand intervals (“A”, “B” and “C”) at the top of the IRCM have log-derived hydrocarbon saturations in excess of 40%. Fluorescence in rock cuttings observed while drilling and log-derived hydrocarbon saturations persist for 120m in sands below these upper zones but the lower intervals are water-bearing. MDT pressure sampling has established a high confidence water gradient and water was flowed and sampled via a wireline tool from the “B” sand despite the high oil saturation. Reservoir Unit “A” “B” “C” Gross True Ver�cal Thickness (m) 7.7 6.0 4.3 Net Sand True Ver�cal Thickness (m) 4.6 2.8 2.7 Oil Satura�on Porosity 66% 46% 41% 15% 16% 17% Net Pay (m) 4.6 N/A N/A Oil was pumped from the “A” sand utilising the Schlumberger Saturn pressure and fluid sampling tool and three downhole samples collected. Based on the log data, pressure points and recovered fluid samples, a lowest known oil depth of 871.8mTVDSS and a highest known water depth of 880.2mTVDSS have been established for the Xanadu Field. Preliminary results at Xanadu-1 indicate that the assumption of the producing Cliff Head Oil Field being the primary analogue is correct. All available data are currently being integrated to estimate the oil reserve potential of the Xanadu discovery. The data indicates that in addition to the potential up-dip, there is evidence that “down-dip” volumes may also be present (Refer ASX release dated 25 September 2017). The JV is implementing a program to determine the best means to appraise the Xanadu discovery through the acquisition of 3D. The Xanadu 3D seismic survey covers 40km2 and has been designed to define the extent of the Xanadu Discovery. It will drive future development plans, including the selection of future well locations, field studies addressing oil-in-place (OOIP) and recoverable oil volume calculations. The area is already covered by modern aeromagnetic and gravity data, which, when integrated with new 3D seismic data, will provide a detailed understanding of the Xanadu oil field. Acquiring 3D seismic data will allow a new well to be optimally placed, with the expectation of completing this well as a commercial producer, and assist in the positioning of any subsequent development wells. The 3D seismic acquisition is now scheduled for H1 2019 following the award of a contract to Synterra Technologies, a leading global provider of geophysical services and subject to environmental approvals. The TP/15 Joint Venture remains fully committed to the development of the Xanadu Discovery and a five-year permit renewal application has been submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) with the Xanadu 3D seismic survey fulfilling the Year One commitment of the five-year work program. Figure 5 - Xanadu 40 km2 3D Seismic Survey Acquisition area overlying a full tensor gradiometric image, highlighting updip and downdip potential 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 9 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Review of Operations 1.3.2 Warro Gas Project: RL-7: WBE 100% The Warro Project, located northeast of Perth, has 8-10 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in place and potentially 1.7 – 3.6 Tcf of recoverable gas (Refer ASX announcement 19 November 2015). On 26th June 2018, Whitebark announced the return to full ownership and control of the Warro Field after Alcoa agreed to relinquish its 43% interest earned in the asset. As part of the transfer, Alcoa has agreed to provide future funding to cover its share of plug and abandonment liabilities in the event any of the wells are not used in future development scenarios. The Warro partnership between Whitebark (and its predecessors and subsidiaries) and Alcoa has spanned a decade including the drilling of four wells and the acquisition of 90km2 of 3D seismic. This will allow Whitebark greater ability and flexibility to progress the asset once the current fracking moratorium in WA is lifted, a prospect that the company is confident will be the outcome of the state imposed inquiry. In September 2017, the West Australian State Government implemented a moratorium on fracking onshore in the state. An independent scientific inquiry has been implemented and during the fourth quarter of 2017, the expected conclusion date was amended from 2018 to 2020. During this time, the Warro Project is in a shut in and suspended state under an approved environmental management plan. Figure 6 - Xanadu & Warro Location Map The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and, in the case of estimates of oil and gas reserves that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 10 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Reserves and Resources Statement 2 Reserves and Resources Statement The following summarises Whitebark Energy Limited’s (WBE) Proved Reserves (1P), Proved plus Probable Reserves (2P) and contingent and prospective resources as of the evaluation date of 30 June 2018.

For the purposes of this report, “key management personnel” is defined as persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company. 4.1 Remuneration Policy Key management personnel remuneration is based on commercial rates and the existing level of activities in the Group at this point of time. Should the extent of those activities change, the remuneration of key management personnel would be amended to reflect that change. 4.2 Principles of Compensation Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout this report. Under overall authority of the Board, key management personnel and other executives have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and the consolidated entity. Key management personnel include the most highly remunerated executives for the Company and the consolidated entity. Compensation levels for key management personnel of the Company and relevant key management personnel of the consolidated entity are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced key management personnel. The Company from time to time obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of compensation packages of both the Company and consolidated entity given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Company’s compensation strategy. The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take into account: • • The capability and experience of the key management personnel; The key management personnel’s ability to control the relevant assets’ performance; 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 15 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Directors Report • The amount of incentives within each key management person’s compensation. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed and variable compensation and short and long-term performance- based incentives. In addition to their salaries, the consolidated entity also provides non-cash benefits to its key management personnel. 4.2.1.1 Fixed Compensation Fixed compensation consists of base compensation, which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any Fringe Benefit Tax charges related to employee benefits. 4.2.1.2 Performance-linked Compensation The Company currently has no performance based remuneration built into key management personnel remuneration packages. 4.2.1.3 Long-term Incentive Incentive options have been issued in the past to key management personnel and other employees of the Company. The ability to exercise the options is conditional upon the key management personnel and other employees achieving certain vesting conditions.

All environmental performance obligations are monitored by the board of directors and subjected from time to time to Government agency audits and site inspections. There have been no material breaches of the Group’s licenses and all mining and exploration activities have been undertaken in compliance with the relevant environmental regulations.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Directors to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards. 22 Auditor’s Independence Declaration The Auditor’s Independence Declaration is set out on page 22 and forms part of the Directors’ report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The address of the Company’s registered office is Level 2, 6 Thelma Street, West Perth WA 6005. The consolidated financial report of the consolidated entity for the period ended 30 June 2018 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated entity is involved in oil and gas exploration and production in Western Australia and Alberta, Canada. The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 26 September 2018. 2 Basis of preparation (a) Statement of Compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Whitebark Energy Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. (b) Going concern The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Consolidated Entity reported a loss after tax of $5,664,449 for the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: loss of $40,074,224). Included within this loss was the exploration and development expenditure write off or impairment of $1,157,845 (2017 $48,670,684) and the property, plant and equipment write off or impairment of $172,797 (2017: $3,384,748). The net working capital surplus of the Consolidated Entity at 30 June 2018 was $553,115 (2017: surplus of $5,061,080) and the net decrease in cash held during the year was $3,766,468 (2017: increase of $1,535,069). The Group has raised $2.1m in August 2018. The funds will be used to continue the Group’s growth strategy in Canada, including new well and facility upgrades. Whilst not immediately required, the Group may need to raise additional funds to meet its ongoing obligations and subject to the results of its ongoing exploration activities, expand or accelerate its work programs. Additional sources of funding available to the Group include capital raising from new or existing shareholders, or through farm- in or similar arrangements. If necessary the Group can delay exploration expenditures and directors can also institute cost saving measures to further reduce corporate and administrative costs or explore divestment opportunities. The Directors have reviewed the Group’s overall financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group has sufficient funds available for at least 12 months and when required will be able to raise further funding. (c) Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical costs basis except for the following assets and liabilities that are stated at their fair value: financial instruments held for trading and financial instruments classified as available-for-sale. (d) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company’s United States of American subsidiary is USD and CAD for the Canadian subsidiary. The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 33 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 (e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated group. The Company’s accounting policy for the recognition of rehabilitation provisions requires significant estimates including the magnitude of possible works for removal or treatment of waste materials and the extent of work required and the associated costs of rehabilitation work. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure, different from the amounts currently provided. The provision recognised for each production well is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for operating sites are recognised in the balance sheet by adjusting the rehabilitation asset and provision. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes: Note 23 and 24 – Impairment expense (see note 3(k)) Note 27 – Provisions (see note 3(r)) Note 33 – Share-based payment (see note 3(q)(iii)) Note 24 – Exploration and evaluation expenditure (see note 3(d)) (f) New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements A number of new and revised standards were effective for the annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2017. When these Standards were first adopted for the year ending 30 June 2018, there was no material impact on the financial statements. 3 Summary of accounting policies (a) Basis of consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2018. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June. All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. (b) Business combination The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations in accordance with AASB 3. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 34 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately. (c) Foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. (ii) Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income in a separate component of equity. (d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences and the costs of acquiring the rights to explore, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either: • • the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or 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 assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment of non-financial assets note 3(k)). For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of petroleum resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation expenditure to property plant and equipment assets. (e) Determination of recoverability of asset carrying values The recoverability of development and production asset carrying values are assessed at a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) level. Determination of what constitutes a CGU is subject to management judgements. The asset composition of a CGU can directly impact the recoverability of the assets included therein. The key estimates used in the determination of cash flows from oil and natural gas reserves include the following: • Reserves – Assumptions that are valid at the time of reserve estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in forward price estimates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in reserves being restated. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 35 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 • Oil and natural gas prices – Forward price estimates are used in the cash flow model. Commodity prices can fluctuate for a variety of reasons including supply and demand fundamentals, inventory levels, exchange rates, weather, and economic and geopolitical factors. • Discount rate – The discount rate used to calculate the net present value of cash flows is based on estimates of an approximate industry peer group weighted average cost of capital. Changes in the general economic environment could result in significant changes to this estimate. (f) Reserve estimates Proved plus probable reserves are defined as the “best estimate” of quantities of oil, natural gas and related substances estimated to be commercially recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward based on drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data, the use of established technology and specified economic conditions. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater than or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. The estimates are made using all available geological and reservoir data as well as historical production data. Estimates are reviewed as appropriate. Revisions occur as a result of changes in prices, costs, fiscal regimes and reservoir performance or changes in the Company’s plans with respect to future development or operating practices. (g) Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs and decommissioning obligations Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are accrued at the time of those activities and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations recognised include the costs of reclamation and subsequent monitoring of the environment. Costs are estimated on the basis of future assessed costs, current legal requirements and current technology, which are discounted to their present value. The present value of the costs is included as part of the cost of the exploration and evaluation asset or the Property plant and equipment asset. Estimates are reassessed at least annually. Changes in estimates are dealt with prospectively, with any amounts that would have been written off or provided against under accounting policy for exploration and evaluation immediately written off. Amounts recorded for decommissioning obligations and the related accretion expense requires the use of estimates with respect to the amount and timing of decommissioning expenditures. Actual costs and cash outflows can differ from estimates because of changes in laws and regulations, public expectations, market conditions, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in technology. Other provisions are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be future cash outflow. (h) Development expenditure Development expenditure represents the accumulated exploration, evaluation, land and development expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group in relation to areas of interest in which mining of hydrocarbon resource has commenced. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of an asset after commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the asset only when substantial future economic benefits are thereby established, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production. Amortisation of costs is provided on the unit-of-production method with separate calculations being made for each hydrocarbon resource. The unit-of-production basis results in an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the estimated recoverable reserves. In some circumstances, where conversion of resources into reserves is expected, some elements of resources may be included. Development and land expenditure still to be incurred in relation to the current reserves are included in the amortisation calculation. Where the life of the assets are shorter than the reserves life their costs are amortised based on the useful life of the assets. The estimated recoverable reserves and life of the development and the remaining useful life of each class of asset are reassessed at least annually. Where there is a change in the reserves/resources amortisation rates are correspondingly adjusted. (i) Trade and other receivables Other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 36 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 (j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. Cash equivalents include deposits and other 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 an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the consolidated entity’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flow. (k) Impairment of non-financial assets (excluding exploration and evaluation assets) The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. Reversals of impairment Impairment losses are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (l) Share capital (i) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (ii) Transaction costs Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. (m) Earnings per share (i) Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the 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. (n) Property, plant and equipment Buildings, IT equipment and other equipment (comprising fittings and furniture) are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group’s management. Buildings and IT equipment also include leasehold property held under a finance lease (see note 38). Buildings, IT equipment and other equipment are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. Developed and producing assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of property, plant and equipment are recognized as oil and natural gas interests 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. All other costs are recognised in expenses as incurred. Such capitalised oil and gas interests generally represent 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 37 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 costs incurred in developing proven and/or probable reserves and bringing on or enhancing production from such reserves. The carrying amount of any replaced or sold component is derecognised. The costs of periodic servicing of property plant and equipment is recognised as an expense. (o) Depletion and depreciation The net carrying value of developed and producing assets are depleted using the unit of production method by reference to the ratio of production in the period to the related proven and probable reserves, taking into account estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. Future development costs are estimated taking into account the level of development required to produce the reserves. These estimates are reviewed by independent reserve engineers on an annual basis. Proven and probable reserves are estimated using independent reserve engineer reports and represent the estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs and which are considered commercially producible. In determining reserves for use in the depletion and impairment calculations, a boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas (“mcf”) to one barrel of oil (“bbl”) is used as an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in the reserve reports are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six mcf of gas to one barrel of oil. For other assets, depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of buildings, IT equipment and other equipment. The following useful lives are applied: • IT equipment: 4 years • Other equipment: 4-5 years In the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are determined by reference to the lesser of comparable owned assets useful lives and the lease term. Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually. Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in profit and loss. (p) Fair value measurement The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 38 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: Level 1 – Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market date, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: If a market that was previously considered active (Lvel 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or (i) (ii) If significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (ie transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred. (q) Employee benefits (i) Long term employee benefits The Company’s liabilities for long service leave are included in both short term employee benefits and other long term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Company presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place. (ii) Short term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (iii) Share-based payment transactions The share option program allows the consolidated entity’s employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Binomial and Black Scholes option-pricing models, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 39 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 (r) Provisions A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the consolidated entity has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (s) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are non-interest bearing liabilities stated at cost and settled within 30 days. (t) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. (i) Net financial income Net financial income comprises interest on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest receivable on funds invested and dividend income. Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in the profit and loss on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. (ii) Sales revenue Revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas will be recorded when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product is transferred to the buyer, which is usually when legal title passes to the external party and when collection is reasonably assured. Royalty income is recognised in petroleum and natural gas revenues as it accrues in accordance with the terms of the overriding royalty agreements. (u) Income tax The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Whitebark Energy Ltd. Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Included in the income tax benefit are research and development grants provided during the year. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 40 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. Amounts receivable from the Australian Tax Office in respect of research and development tax concession claims are recognised in the income statement at the time the claim is lodged and received with the Australian Tax Office. (v) Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the consolidated entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the consolidated entity’s other components. Based on the information used for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker, being the executive management that makes strategic decisions, at 30 June 2018 the group’s assets are in two reportable geographical segments being Australia and Canada. (w) Goods and services tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (x) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. Non-derivative instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. A financial instrument is recognised if the consolidated entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the consolidated entity’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the consolidated entity transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. (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 and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. They arise when the consolidated entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. 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 receivables in the statement of financial position. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 41 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 Financial Liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. (iii) Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. The Group’s AFS financial assets include listed securities. Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported within the AFS reserve within equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income. Interest is calculated using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised in profit or loss within ‘finance income’. (iv) Impairment The consolidated entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists 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 the profit and loss. Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the profit and loss. If there is evidence of impairment for any of the consolidated entity’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the profit and loss. (v) De-recognition Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Accounting for net finance income is discussed in note 3(t)(i). (y) Interest in other entities Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties with joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to that arrangement. The Group recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. (z) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. (i) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2018, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 42 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 • AASB 9 Financial Instruments and the relevant amending standards (December 2014) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2018). This standard introduces a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value and replaces the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. For financial liabilities, AASB 9 retains most of the IAS 39 requirements; however, where the fair value option is applied to financial liabilities, the change in fair value resulting from an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income instead of net earnings, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. In addition, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. The new model results in more timely recognition of expected credit losses. AASB 9 also includes a simplified hedge accounting model, aligning hedge accounting more closely with risk management. Whitebark Energy does not currently apply hedge accounting. The adoption of AASB 9 will not require any material adjustments to the Company’s financial statements. • AASB 16 Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2019). This standard requires entities to recognize lease assets and lease obligations on the statement of financial position. For lessees, AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases, effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Certain short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low value assets are exempt from the requirements, and may continue to be treated as operating leases. Classification will determine how and when a lessor will recognize lease revenue, and what assets would be recorded. The company is currently party to only short term leases. Based on this fact the amendments are not expected to have an impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements on first adoption. • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2018). This standard establishes a single revenue recognition framework that applies to contracts with customers. The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services for the amount it expects to receive, when control is transferred to the purchaser. Expanded disclosure requirements are also part of the standard. The standard is required to be either adopted retrospectively in full or using a modified approach where prior numbers remain and the retrospective effect is an adjustment to retained earnings. It is expected that the standard will have no impact on the opening retained earnings/(accumulated loss), however there will be additional disclosures required in the Revenue note. The standard will result in a change in presentation between processing income and operating expenses with no impact on earnings. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 43 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 4 Segment reporting During the period the group operated in two business segments (two geographical areas) – exploration, development and production of oil and gas – Australia and Canada.

The developed and producing CGUs consist of production facilities, wells, land and associated reserves. The recoverable amount of the CGU’s has been established by reference to an independently prepared Reserve Report. An impairment amount of $172,797 has been charged in relation to the developed and producing assets. The exploration and evaluation assets recoverability is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest. An impairment amount of $1,157,845 has been charged in relation to exploration and evaluation assets. This amount is in relation to capital costs associated with leases that expired or were relinquished up to 30 June 2018 where no future exploration or development was anticipated (Refer notes 23 and 24). For the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company determined its impairment position and the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to the Warro Project by considering the then current market conditions for junior mining exploration companies, the Company’s market capitalisation along with the announcement made by the Company’s JV partner, Alcoa Corporation in early January 2017 that it had recorded an impairment charge against the carrying value of the Warro project recorded in Alcoa’s accounts. As a result of this review of the Warro project, it was considered prudent that the Company make an impairment charge of $48,670,684 in the 30 June 2017 year. In determining the impairment position of the Canadian assets for the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company evaluated its developed and producing CGU for indicators of impairment. The developed and producing CGU consisted of production facilities, wells, land and associated reserves. The recoverable amount of the CGU’s had been established by reference to an independently prepared Reserve Report. An impairment amount of $3,384,748 was charged in relation to the developed and producing assets for the year ended 30 June 2017. 14 Other expenses Depletion, depreciation and amortisation Project costs Legal fees Tax advisory services Consultancy fees Bad debt expense Revision of Rehab and Abandonment provision Workover expense 30-Jun-18 AUD 30-Jun-17 AUD (781,618) (485) (91,137) (11,030) (163,532) - (1,244,767) (103,300) (2,395,869) (24,917) (340,430) (26,504) (254,050) (74,574) (23,943) - - (744,418) 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 46 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 15 Auditor remuneration Audit and review of financial statements -auditors of Whitebark Energy Limited - Grant Thornton Australia Remuneration for audit and review of financial statements -auditors of Whitebark Energy Limited - KPMG Remuneration for audit and review of financial statements Other services -auditors of Whitebark Energy Limited - Grant Thornton Australia Taxation compliance Taxation advice Due diligence services -auditors of Whitebark Energy Limited - KPMG -Legal advice 16 Income tax benefit Current income tax expense/(benefit) Aggregate income tax expense/(benefit) Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense and tax at the statutory rate Loss before income tax from continuing operations Tax at the statutory rate of 27.5% Adjustment for tax rate difference (Canada 25%) Tax effect amounts which are not deductible/(taxable) in calculating taxable income: Share-based payments Gain on deconsolidation Impairment Sundry items Deferred tax asset on losses/(recouped) not recognised - Australia Deferred tax asset on losses not recognised - Canada Deferred tax asset on temporary differences not recognised - Australia Deferred tax asset on temporary differences not recognised - Canada Research and development tax offset Income tax benefit 30-Jun-18 AUD 30-Jun-17 AUD (42,025) (72,773) (50,738) - - - - (60,000) (152,763) (9,550) (1,950) (2,000) - (86,273) 30-Jun-18 AUD 30-Jun-17 AUD (9,348,766) (9,348,766) - - (5,664,448) (1,557,723) 54,428 (1,503,295) (49,422,991) (13,591,322) 56,623 (13,534,699) 161,811 - - 1,827 8,100 (1,075,721) 12,754,570 67,831 (1,339,657) (1,779,919) 862,849 648,219 (67,475) (103,936) - 809,302 176,585 361,247 432,785 (9,348,766) - (9,348,766) A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

The purchase was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, whereby, the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as follows: Costs associated with the acquisition of the 30% working interest have been included in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows: Property, plant and equipment including production facilities and producing wells Exploration and evaluation Decommissioning obligations assumed 23 24 28 Cash paid to Vendor by Whitebark Energy Limited Gain on bargain purchase 30-Jun-18 AUD 1,621,004 57,476 (425,116) 1,253,364 341,997 911,367 The above amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been determined from information currently available to management of the Company and incorporates estimates, which may be subject to adjustment. The discount rate used to calculate the decommissioning obligations assumed at acquisition date is the market rate of 14%. The acquired net assets contributed petroleum and natural gas revenues of $150,000 and operating profit of $19,000 since 30 April 2018. Had the acquisition closed on 1 July 2017 Whitebark’s estimated petroleum revenue would have increased by approximately $770,000 and operating income would have increased by approximately $340,000. On 23rd May 2017 Whitebark Energy Ltd completed the acquisition of 20% working interest in the assets of Point Loma Resources Ltd in Alberta, Canada. The property plant and equipment fair value is based on the discounted proved plus probable reserves acquired as determined by an independent reserves evaluation. The exploration and evaluation assets, comprising undeveloped land, is based on internal estimates with reference to recent Crown sales. The decommissioning obligations assumed are based on the Alberta Energy Regulator’s estimated abandonment liability amount discounted by the credit adjusted interest rate of 10%. Costs associated with the acquisition of the 20% working interest have been included in the Statement of Profit or Loss. The estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows: Property, plant and equipment including land, production facilities and producing wells Exploration and evaluation Decommissioning obligations assumed 23 24 28 Cash paid to Vendor by Whitebark Energy Limited 30-Jun-17 AUD 5,638,548 1,900,117 (2,224,972) 5,313,693 4,024,287 1,289,406 Gain on bargain purchase Other costs amounting to $63,836 are included as part of the fair value of assets acquired. The gain on bargain purchase has arisen primarily due to the variation in the accounting treatment of decommissioning liabilities being measured at their acquisition date fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 for business combinations and then subsequent to initial measurement (ie. Day 2), these provisions are measured using the principles in IAS 37. The acquired net assets contributed petroleum and natural gas revenues of $101,436 and operating loss of $4,450 since 23 May 2017. Had the acquisition closed on 1 July 2016 Whitebark’s estimated petroleum revenue for the year to 30 June 2017 would have been approximately $1,370,000 and operating income would have increased by approximately $305,000. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 50 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 23 Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment at cost Less: accumulated depletion and depreciation Impairment Property, plant and equipment Reconciliation of carrying amounts Developed and Producing Opening balance Acquisition though business combination Asset retirement obligation asset Additions Foreign exchange Disposal Impairment Depletion Land and buildings Opening balance Disposal Depreciation expense Furniture and Fixtures Opening balance Disposal Additions Depreciation expense Office equipment Opening balance Additions Disposal Depreciation expense Software Assets Opening balance Depreciation expense Motor vehicles Opening balance Disposal Depreciation expense 30-Jun-18 AUD 12,541,168 (835,619) (3,553,230) 8,152,319 30-Jun-17 AUD 8,765,220 (64,078) (3,475,336) 5,225,806 5,177,307 1,621,004 450,566 1,795,901 214,804 (183,188) (173,984) (766,944) 8,135,465 - 5,638,548 2,982,896 35,542 (767) - (3,475,336) (3,576) 5,177,307 - - - - 301 - 1,377 (60) 1,618 10,116 816 - (3,872) 7,060 22,612 (14,436) 8,176 15,470 (13,832) (1,638) - 21,283 (21,237) (46) - 5,892 (5,516) - (75) 301 13,759 4,377 (3,738) (4,282) 10,116 37,048 (14,436) 22,612 22,022 - (6,552) 15,470 8,152,319 5,225,806 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 51 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 Impairment test of property, plant and equipment The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is determined as the fair value less costs of disposal using a discounted cash flow method and is assessed at the CGU level. Key input estimates used in the determination of cash flows from oil and gas reserves include estimates regarding recoverable reserves, forward price estimates of crude oil and natural gas prices, royalties forward price estimates of production costs and required capital expenditures and discount rate. The company used a discount rate of 25% for the Thornbury CGU and 20% for the Mannville CGU. The following table outlines the forecast benchmark commodity prices used in the impairment calculation of property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2018. Forecast benchmark commodity price assumptions tend to be stable because short- term increases or decreases in prices are not considered indicative of long-term price levels, but are nonetheless subject to change.

The impairment tests completed during the year ended 30 June 2018 are sensitive to changes in any of the key judgements such as a revision in reserves, a change in forecast benchmark commodity prices, changes in expected royalties, change in operating costs, which could increase or decrease the recoverable amount of the assets and result in additional impairment expense or recovery of the impairment expense. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 52 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 24 Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation assets Movement in exploration and evaluation expenditure Opening Balance Acquisition through business combination Additions - Canada Additions - Warro Joint Venture Expenditure incurred during the period Depreciation/amortisation for exploration assets Impairment for exploration and evaluation assets Disposal during the year Transfer to Property plant and equipment Foreign currency movement 30-Jun-18 AUD 2,556,696 30-Jun-17 AUD 2,077,749 2,077,749 57,476 199,946 - 1,338,779 - (1,157,496) (14,205) (9,828) 64,275 2,556,696 48,012,854 1,900,117 - 665,660 177,632 (7,830) (48,670,684) - - - 2,077,749 The ultimate recoverability of the value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the underlying areas of interest.

Should an indicator of impairment exist, there is significant estimation and judgments in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. The key areas of estimation and judgement that are considered in this review included: • • • • Recent drilling results and reserves/resource estimates; Environmental issues that may impact the underlying tenements; The estimated market value of assets at the review date; Independent valuations of underlying assets that may be available; Fundamental economic factors such as prices, exchange rates and current and anticipated operating cost in • the industry; and • The group’s market capitalisation compared to its net assets. Information used in the review process is rigorously tested to externally available information as appropriate. Changes in these estimates and assumptions as new information about the presence or recoverability of a reserve becomes available, may impact the assessment of the recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets. If, after having capitalised the expenditure a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, an impairment loss is recorded in the profit or loss in accordance with accounting policy 3(d). Warro Joint Venture During the year ended 30 June 2017 the company underwent a review of the impairment position of the Warro Project. As a result of this review the Company made an impairment charge of $48,670,684 in June 2017. 25 Assets classified as available-for-sale Available-for-sale financial assets: Listed equity securities 30-Jun-18 AUD 30-Jun-17 AUD - - 400,000 400,000 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 53 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 26 Trade and other payables Current: Trade creditors Other payables Total trade and other payables 30-Jun-18 AUD 30-Jun-17 AUD 404,937 253,070 658,007 93,136 558,647 651,783 All amounts are short-term.

The total decommissioning obligation is estimated based on the estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and facilities and the estimated timing of costs to be incurred in future years. The Company has estimated the net present value of the decommissioning obligations to be $7,558,403 as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $5,207,868) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $9,841,593 (2017: $6,631,025). Subsequent to the initial measurement, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost whereas increases/decreases due to changes in the estimated future cash flows are capitalized where there is a future economic benefit associated with the asset. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the decommissioning liabilities are charged against the provision to the extent the provision had been established. The weighted average time in which these payments are expected to be made is approximately 10 years. The discount factor, being the risk free interest rate of 2.1% for the Canadian obligation and 3.0% for the Australian obligation (2017: 2.0%) and the inflation rate is 2.0% for both Canadian and Australian obligations (2017: 2.0%) per annum. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 54 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 The liability acquired in relation to the Warro Project comprises amounts related to the Warro field. The provision arose in the 2018 financial year as a result of Alcoa withdrawing from the Joint Venture under which they were to satisfy the full obligation. The provision represents the present value of the Directors’ best estimate of the future sacrifice of economic benefits that will be required to restore and abandon the site. The estimated future obligation includes the costs of abandoning wells and restoring the affected areas. 29 Issued capital Ordinary Shares 30-Jun-18 AUD 54,382,657 30-Jun-17 AUD 52,646,771 The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.

The consolidated entity’s management of financial risk is aimed at ensuring net cash flows are sufficient to: • Meet all its financial commitments; and • Maintain the capacity to fund the consolidated entity’s operating activities. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the consolidated entity through regular reviews of the risks. Market, liquidity and credit risk (including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risk) arise in the normal course of business. These risks are managed under Board approved directives which underpin treasury practices and processes. This note presents information about the Company’s and consolidated entity’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the consolidated entity’s receivables from customers. Trade and other receivables The consolidated entity operates in the mining exploration and production sector. As at 30 June 2018 there were no significant concentrations of credit risk on the statement of financial position. Impairment losses None of the Company’s other receivables are past due (2017: nil). As at 30 June 2018 there is no allowance for impairment in respect to other receivables for the consolidated entity (2017: nil). Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Financial Instruments Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents 30-Jun-18 AUD 125,060 1,090,415 1,215,477 30-Jun-17 AUD 280,574 4,856,883 5,137,457 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 59 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 Non-current assets Trade and other receivables 0 Other investments including 0 - - - - - - - - Carrying Amount Trade and other receivables 0 - 125,060 - 125,060 Carrying Amount Current assets Other investments including 0 - - - - Cash and cash equivalents 0 - - 1,090,415 1,090,415 Non-current assets Trade and other receivables Other investments including derivatives Trade and other receivables Current assets Other investments including derivatives Cash and cash equivalents Total Level 1 0 - 125,060 1,090,415 1,215,477 0 - - - - Total Level 1 - - - - - - - - - 400,000 280,574 - - - 280,574 400,000 - - 4,856,883 4,856,883 - 400,000 280,574 4,856,883 5,137,457 - - 400,000 30-Jun-2018 Financial assets measured at fair value Assets held for sale Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents 30-Jun-2017 Financial assets measured at fair value Assets held for sale Financial assets not measured at fair value Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The consolidated entity’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the consolidated entity’s reputation. The consolidated entity manages liquidity risks by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Commodity Risk The consolidated entity is exposed to commodity price risk through its revenue from the sale of hydrocarbons – gas, crude oil, condensate and LPG – which are priced against world benchmark commodity prices. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 60 WHITEBARK ENERGY LTD Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 Currency risk The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The parent company loans funds to a Canadian based subsidiary. The funds are loaned in Australian dollars and are subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s and the consolidated entity’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Variable rate instruments Financial assets 2018 2017 1,090,415 1,090,415 4,856,883 4,856,883 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2017. 30 June 2018 Variable rate instruments Cash flow sensitivity 30 June 2017 Variable rate instruments Fair values Profit or loss 100bp increase AUD 100bp decrease AUD 100bp increase AUD 100bp decrease AUD Equity 10,904 10,904 48,569 48,569 (10,904) (10,904) (48,569) (48,569) 10,904 10,904 48,569 48,569 (10,904) (10,904) (48,569) (48,569) There is little or no difference between carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Capital Management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which the consolidated entity defines as net operating income divided by total shareholders’ equity.
