Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

The 2017/2018 Financial Year has been one of transformation for Whitebark. 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

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

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.

The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered 

accumulations.  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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The revisions and reclassifications to the 1P and 2P reserves is comprised primarily of revisions in forecast 
performance as a result of well recompletions, drilling of new wells and pipeline construction to add stranded 
production to the network. 

Changes in forward price estimates, production costs and recovery rates will also dictate the need for revision and 
reclassification of reserves

Board and Management Committees 

In  view  of  the  current  composition  of  the  Board  (which  comprises  a  non-executive  chairman  and  two  executive 
directors) and the nature and scale of the Company’s activities, the Board has considered that establishing formally 
constituted  committees  for  audit,  board  nominations,  remuneration  and  general  management  functions  would 
contribute little to its effective management.  

3.2  Corporate Governance 

In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of Whitebark 
Energy Limited support and have adhered to the principles of sound corporate governance.  The Board recognises the 
recommendations  of  the  Australian  Securities  Exchange  Corporate  Governance  Council,  and  considers  that  the 
Company is in compliance with those guidelines which are of importance to the commercial operation of a junior listed 
resource Company.  During the financial year, shareholders continued to receive the benefit of an efficient and cost-
effective corporate governance policy for the Company.

4  Remuneration Report (Audited) 

This Remuneration Report outlines the remuneration arrangements which were in place during the period, and remain 
in place as at the date of this report, for the key management personnel of Whitebark Energy Limited.  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.   These vesting conditions are set for each key management personnel and employee and 
are based primarily on the length of time spent providing their services to the Company. 

4.2.1.4  Service Contracts 

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form 
of a letter of appointment.   The letter  summarises the terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of the 
director. 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the executive directors and other non-director key management 
personnel are also formalised in service agreements.  Each of these agreements provide for the provision of bonuses, 
other benefits including health and superannuation, and participation in the issuance of options.  Other major provisions 
of the agreement relating to remuneration are set out below.

performance.

(before  costs)  and  issued  495,215,367  shares  and  515,215,367  options  (including  20,000,000  options  issued  to  CPS 
Capital Pty Ltd). 

To accommodate some of the oversubscription the Company placed (on 31 August 2018) an additional 87,500,000 fully 
paid ordinary shares at $0.004 and 87,500,000 attaching options to raise an additional $350,000 (before costs).  

Other than the above, no material matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which have 
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations, results or state of affairs of the consolidated entity. 

15  Likely Developments and Expected Results 

There are no likely developments of which the directors are aware which could be expected to significantly affect the 
results of the Group’s operations in subsequent financial years not otherwise disclosed in the Principal Activities and 
Operating and Financial Review or the Significant Events after the Balance Date sections of the Directors’ Report. 

The Company continues to look for acquisition opportunities as they arise. 

16  Environmental Regulations 

The operations of the Group are subject to environmental regulation from two government bodies.   

The  Australian  assets  are  monitored  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Western  Australia.  The  Group  holds  various 
environmental licenses issued under these laws, to regulate its exploration activities in Australia. These licenses include 
conditions and regulations in relation to specifying limits on discharges into the air, surface water and groundwater, 
rehabilitation of areas disturbed during the course of exploration activities and the storage of hazardous substances. 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 Canadian assets are subject to regulation by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER).  The AER ensures companies are 
prepared to meet their obligations at the end of a project’s life including environmental obligations.

Directors Report 

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the contract. 

The  Group  has  not  otherwise,  during  or  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year,  except  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the Group against a liability incurred as

20  Corporate Structure 

Whitebark Energy Limited is a Company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  The Company 
is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under code WBE. 

21  Non-Audit Services 

During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. 

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.  

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors. 

Perth, 26 September 2018

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2018 

1  Reporting entity 

Whitebark Energy Limited (the ‘Company’) is domiciled and incorporated in Australia.  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.

(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

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.

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.

(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.

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.

In determining our impairment position of the Canadian assets the Company evaluated its developed and producing 
CGUs and its exploration and evaluation assets for indicators of impairment.  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.

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. It is in the opinion of management of the Company that there will be no taxable profits

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2018 

22  Business Combination 
On 30th April 2018 Whitebark Energy Ltd acquired a 30% working interest in certain oil and gas properties located in 
Alberta, Canada, for cash consideration of $328,266CAD.  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

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

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.

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  test  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  30  June  2018  concluded  that  the  estimated  recoverable 
amount was lower than the carrying amount of the Thornbury/Portage CGU.  As such, property, plant and equipment 
impairment existed for this CGU only.

The fair value less costs of disposal values used to determine the recoverable amounts of the impaired property, plant 
and equipment assets are categorized as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy as the key assumptions are not based on 
observable market data. 

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.

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.  

The Group undertakes at each reporting date, a review for indicators of impairment of these assets. 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.

The  Company’s  decommissioning  obligations  result  from  its  ownership  interest  in  oil  and  natural  gas  well  sites  and 
facilities.  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.

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.

may  also  not  necessarily  be  the  actual  outcome.    No  other  features  of  options  granted  were  incorporated  into  the 
measurement of fair value.

Financial Risk Management 

Overview 

The consolidated entity has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: 

credit risk; 
liquidity risk; and 

• 
• 
•  market risk. 

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:

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 impact of netting agreements:

Market Risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will 
affect the consolidated entity’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 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.

39  Subsequent events 

On  1  August  2018  Whitebark  Energy  announced  a  renounceable  entitlement  offer.    The  offer  was  made  to  eligible 
shareholders on the basis of one new share for every two shares held on the record date.  Each new share had an offer 
price  of  0.4  cents.    Eligible  shareholders  were  also  offered  one  free  attaching  new  option  for  every  one  new  share 
subscribed for and issued under the offer. 

On 28 August 2018 the renounceable rights issue closed substantially over-subscribed.  The company raised $1,980,862 
(before  costs)  and  issued  495,215,367  shares  and  515,215,367  options  (including  20,000,000  options  issued  to  CPS 
Capital Pty Ltd). 

To accommodate some of the oversubscription the Company placed (on 31 August 2018) an additional 87,500,000 fully 
paid ordinary shares at $0.004 and 87,500,000 attaching options to raise an additional $350,000 (before costs). 

Other than the above, no material matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which have
