Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three month periods ended 30 September 2011 and 2010

Expressed in U.S. Dollars


1.	Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Continental Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Continental”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s corporate office, registered address and records office is located at Suite 2810 – 777 N. Ashley Drive, Tampa, Florida.

The condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position and statements of loss and comprehensive loss of the Company are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. The Company trades its shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties with the focus being on properties located in Indonesia held under production sharing contracts. The Company is an exploration stage company and none of its oil and gas properties are currently generating revenue. The recovery of the Company’s investment in resource properties and attainment of profitable operations is principally dependent upon financing being arranged by the Company to continue operations, explore and develop the resource properties and the discovery, development and sale of oil and gas reserves. The outcome of these matters
cannot presently be determined because they are contingent on future events.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred operating losses over the past several fiscal years, has no current source of operating cash flow, and no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its oil and gas projects.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire, explore and develop future oil and gas projects as well as funding ongoing administration expenses by issuance of share capital or through joint ventures. Ultimately the Company must achieve future profitable production or realize proceeds from the disposition of oil and gas interests acquired. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing from directors and officers and issuing common stock in private placements. There can be no assurance that management’s future financing actions will be successful. Management is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of improvements in the equity markets for raising capital for future acquisitions or expenditures. These uncertainties represent a liquidity risk and may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future.

If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, liquidation accounting would apply and adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets, liabilities, the reported income and expenses and such adjustments could be material.

2.	Basis of Presentation

Statement of Compliance and Conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“ACSB”) confirmed in February 2008 that International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) will replace Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for publicly accountable enterprises for financial periods beginning on and after 1 January 2011. The Company adopted IFRS for the period beginning 1 July 2011 with a transition date of 1 July 2010.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The disclosures concerning the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS are included in Note 14.


3.	Significant Accounting Policies


	a)	Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit 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 judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

the carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, which are included in the statements of financial position;
the future environmental rehabilitation costs;
the fair value determination of the Company’s promissory notes payable;
the inputs used in accounting for the valuation of warrants and modification of their terms;
the inputs used in accounting for share based payments expense which is included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss; and
the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

	b)	Foreign Currencies

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of both the Company and its partially owned Indonesian subsidiary, CG Xploration Inc., is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”).

Any transactions in currencies other than the functional currency have been translated to the U.S. dollar in accordance with IAS 21. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at that rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.


	c)	Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. At 30 September 2011, the Company had no items which would have a dilutive effect on the loss per share.


	d)	Interests in Joint Ventures

A joint venture can take the form of a jointly controlled entity, jointly controlled operation or jointly controlled asset. All joint ventures involve a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control. A jointly controlled entity is an entity in which the Company shares joint control over the strategic, financial and operating decisions with one or more venture partners through the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity. A jointly controlled operation involves the use of the assets and resources of the venture partners rather than the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity. The operation incurs its own expenses and liabilities and raises its own finances. A jointly controlled asset involves joint control of one or more of the assets acquired or contributed for the purpose of the joint venture. Each venture partner takes on a share of the output from the assets and bears an agreed share of the expenses.

All joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of the joint venture are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

	e)	Share-based Payments

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The board of directors grants such options for periods of up to five years, with vesting periods determined at its sole discretion and at prices equal to or greater than the closing market price on the day preceding the date the options were granted. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

The fair value of the share purchase options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share purchase options were granted. At each statement of financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share purchase options that are expected to vest.


	f)	Valuation of Warrants

The Company values warrants issued as part of a private placement unit by allocating the proceeds from the issue of units between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a pro-rata basis based on relative fair values as follows:

the fair value of common shares is based on the market close on the date the units are issued; and
the fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

The fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in Reserves.


	g)	Exploration and Evaluation Assets

General exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures incurred prior to acquiring legal right to explore are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

E&E expenditures incurred subsequent to acquisition of the legal right to explore are capitalized and accumulated in cost centers established on a country-by-country basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, cost of drilling exploratory wells, and overhead charges directly related to acquisition and exploration activities, less any government incentives relating thereto. E&E assets are not depleted and moved into property, plant and equipment when they are determined to meet certain technical feasibility and commercial viability thresholds determined by management. Upon transfer to property, plant and equipment, E&E assets are assessed for impairment in addition to regular impairment reviews to ensure they are not carried at amounts above their estimated recoverable values.

For the three month periods ended 30 September 2011 and 2010

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

The capitalized costs less accumulated amortization in each cost centre from which there is production is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves (based on estimated future prices and costs at the statement of financial position date) plus the cost (net of impairments) of unproved properties ("ceiling test"). The total capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and amortization of all cost centres is further limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves plus the cost (net of impairments) of all unproved properties less estimated future general and administrative expenses, future financing costs and taxes.

Proceeds from the farm-out of oil and gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion and amortization.


	h)	Decommissioning Liabilities

The Company provides for the costs of decommissioning associated with long-lived assets, including the abandonment of crude oil and natural gas wells, related facilities, compressors, gas plants, removal of equipment from leased acreage and returning such land in a condition as it is contractually obligated. The best estimate of each asset decommissioning liabilities is recorded in the period a well or related asset is drilled and evaluated, constructed or acquired. The decommissioning liabilities is measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Any further adjustment arising from a reassessment of estimated cost of the decommissioning liabilities also has a corresponding amount capitalized, whilst the charge arising from the accretion of the discount applied to the decommissioning liabilities is treated as a component of finance costs in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Management has not identified any significant legal or expected decommissioning liability as at 30 September 2011.


	i)	Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of these assets, less residual value, over their estimated useful economic lives, for the following classes of assets:

Automobiles – 50% declining balance basis;
Computer equipment and software – 50% declining balance basis; and
Furniture and field survey equipment – 50% declining balance basis.

	j)	Impairment

Financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as follows:

	(i)	Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss is the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account.

	(ii)	Available-for-sale financial assets: The impairment loss is the difference between the original cost of the asset and its fair value at the measurement date, less any impairment losses previously recognized in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. This amount represents the cumulative loss in accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments are not reversed.

Non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long lived assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGU s, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGU s for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in comprehensive income.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets with a finite useful life, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in comprehensive income.

	k)	Financial Instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into one of the following categories:

fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”);
available for sale (“AFS”);
held-to-maturity (“HTM”); and
loans and receivables.

The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial asset.

(i) FVTPL financial assets

Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when the financial instrument is held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL.

A financial instrument is classified as held for trading if:

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;
it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Company manages and has an actual pattern of short-term profit-making; or
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any resultant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial instrument.

The Company has classified cash as FVTPL.

(ii) AFS financial assets

Investments held by the Company that are classified as AFS are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity in the investments revaluation reserve. Interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, are recognized directly in profit or loss rather than equity. When an investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.

The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is translated at the spot rate at the statement of financial position date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences due to a change in amortized cost of the asset is recognized in profit or loss, while all other changes are recognized in equity.

The Company has classified its investment in Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (“CGB2”) as AFS financial assets (Note 6).

(iii) HTM investments

Investments are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs.

(iv) Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the transaction value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less impairment losses. The impairment loss of receivables is based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

The Company has classified receivables as loans and receivables.

(v) Effective interest method

The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

(vi) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial instrument is derecognized when:

the contractual right to the asset’s cash flows expire; or
if the Company transfers the financial instrument and all risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into one of the following categories:

fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); or
other financial liabilities.

The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial liability.

(i) FVTPL financial liabilities

This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

These are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

The Company has classified accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and convertible debt as other financial liabilities.

(iii) Effective interest method

The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial liability and allocates interest expense over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Expense is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial instruments classified as FVTPL.

(iv) Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.


	l)	Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible promissory notes that can be converted into fixed number of common shares of the Company. The liability component of the compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.


	m)	Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

Deferred taxes are recorded using the statement of financial position liability method. Under the statement of financial position liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities:

the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that do not affect accounting or taxable profit; and
goodwill.


	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.


4.	Capital Management


	The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its oil and gas properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and accounts receivables. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the three months ended 30 September 2011

Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s classifications of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:

Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’ financial instruments are summarized below.


	a)	Currency risk

The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar through expenditures that are denominated in Canadian dollars and Indonesian Rupiahs. Also, the Company is exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its monetary assets and liabilities.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars:

At 30 September 2011, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase pre-tax loss by $1,222.


	b)	Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company’s cash is held by large Canadian and International financial institutions. Receivables consist of goods and services taxes due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote.


	c)	Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at 30 September 2011, the Company had a cash balance of $122,067 (30 June 2011 - $17,427; 1 July 2010 - $88,843) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $1,056,294 (30 June 2011 - $847,469; 1 July 2010 - $284,787). Management is currently working on obtaining financing to meet these obligations.


	d)	Interest rate risk

The Company has a positive cash balance and its debt bears interest at fixed rates. The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk arising from operations. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by reputable financial institutions with which it keeps its bank accounts and management believes the risk of loss to be remote. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.


	e)	Commodity price risk


	The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and evaluation activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The amount bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures on 16 September 2012. Interest is payable in quarterly installments. The promissory note is convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company, valued at $0.08 per share. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) (Note 11) to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 21 September 2013.

The fair value of the liability and the equity component were calculated on issuance of the promissory note. The fair value of the liability component was calculated using an estimated market related interest rate of 18% and was determined to be $234,432. The residual amount of $15,568, representing the value of the equity component is included in shareholder’s equity in reserves. The fair value of the equity component was allocated 61% to the conversion feature and 39% to the 1,562,500 warrants granted as additional consideration using Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

14.	Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards sets forth guidance for the initial adoption of IFRS. Under IFRS 1 the standards are applied retrospectively at the transitional statement of financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken to deficit unless certain exemptions are applied. The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated 1 July 2010:


	(i)	IFRS 3 - Business Combinations

IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and will apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after 1 July 2010.


	(ii)	IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments

IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments to equity instruments that were granted on or before 7 November 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to 7 November 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and 1 January 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that were granted prior to 7 November 2002 and vested before 1 July 2010.


	(iii)	IFRS 6 – Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources

IFRS 1 provides specific relief in respect of oil and gas assets in that it states that on transition to IFRS, where an entity has applied full cost accounting under its previous GAAP, its oil and gas assets may be measured as follows:

For exploration and evaluation assets, at the carrying value determined under Canadian GAAP; and
For assets in the development and production phases, at the amount determined for the cost center under Canadian GAAP allocated pro rata using reserves volumes or values at the transition date.

For the three month periods ended 30 September 2011 and 2010

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

The Company has chosen to apply the exemption and continue using the cost of its exploration and evaluation assets determined under Canadian GAAP.

IFRS 1 also outlines specific guidelines that a first-time adopter must adhere to under certain circumstances. The Company has applied the following guidelines to its opening statement of financial position dated 1 July 2010:


	(i)	Estimates

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of 1 July 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date.


	IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. The adoption of IFRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of loss and comprehensive loss and cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended 30 June 2011 and the three month period ended 30 September 2010 as previously presented under Canadian GAAP. There was also no material impact on the Company’s statement of equity as at 1 July 2010, for the three month period ended 30 September 2010 and for the year ended 30 June 2011 as presented under Canadian GAAP.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
FORM 51-102F1
CONTINENTAL ENERGY CORPORATION
For the First Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 of the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2012

The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the Company has been prepared as of December 15, 2011 and is intended to supplement and complement Continental Energy Corporation’s (“Continental” or “the Company”) unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2011. All financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34. All amounts disclosed are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Continental is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties with high potential resource prospects. Continental is focusing its efforts in Indonesia where large tracts of acreage can be accumulated. There is a long and positive history of oil exploration success in Indonesia and geological conditions are favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation. Continental owns an 18% participating interest in an Indonesian production sharing contract area covering 901,668 acres, the Bengara-II Block. Continental is an exploration stage company and none of its oil and gas properties currently generate revenue.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST QUARTER

The “Past Quarter” ended September 30, 2011 marks the end of the First Quarter of the Company’s annual fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. Significant events having material effect on the business affairs of the Company which have occurred during the Past Quarter are summarized below:

New CFO Contract
On August 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new employment contract directly with its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for the amount of $7,500 per month. Previously the CFO had been retained under the auspices of Aspen Capital Partner, where he was a managing partner.

Convertible Promissory Note
On September 21, 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The amount bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures on September 16, 2012. The note is convertible, at the election of the lender, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 shares valued at $0.08 per share. As additional consideration, the Company issued to the note holder 1,562,500 warrants exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share up to September 21, 2013. Also in conjunction with the placement of the note, the Company issued 250,000 finder's warrants to an arms-length third party, also exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share up to September 21, 2013.

Bengara-II 3D Seismic Completed
Pursuant to a press release dated September 27, 2011 the Company announced the hard fought completion of 3D seismic acquisition and processing operations on its Bengara-II Block, Indonesia. The Bengara-II block production sharing contract is owned and operated by Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (“CGB2”), a company in which Continental has retained 18% interest. Surface damage claims disputes with prawn farm operators in the area of the seismic data acquisition program commenced in 2009. These delays have resulted in accumulated delays of two years to the original estimated date for completion of seismic recording operations. These disputes have led to considerable cost increases due to standby charges during down times, and duplication of work; particularly re-surveying, re-bridging, and the re-drilling of seismic shot-holes, made necessary by physical deterioration due to extended periods of inactivity.

CGB2 has applied for lost time compensation to extend the exploration period of the Bengara-II PSC for an additional two years due to these delays. CGB2 has also revised its 2011 budget and increased its estimate of the total cost of the combined 3D and 2D seismic program by an additional $11.6 million, bringing the total estimated completion cost for the 2009 Bengara-II seismic program to $35 Million.

Field shooting and recording operations on the 3D portion of the 2009 Bengara-II block seismic acquisition program are now completed. The full original 3D program of 178 square kilometers (120 km2 full fold) has been recorded. Computer processing of the entire 3D program is also now completed.

Original 2009 plans called for a total of 920 line kilometers of new 2D seismic data to also be shot and recorded. Repositioning of some lines and abandonment of others due to the prawn farm issues has resulted in a reduction of the planned 2D program. CGB2 now expects to complete a total of 685 line kilometers of new 2D seismic recording.

CGB2 is currently finalizing its 2012 work program and budget and the Company will update 2012 drilling plans when the budget is finalized. The drilling of the Muara Makapan-2 appraisal well originally planned for late third quarter 2011 will be delayed by the late completion of the seismic and will likely commence in second quarter 2012.

Dissolution of CGX
The Company and GeoPetro Resources Company (“GeoPetro”) came to a mutual agreement to dissolve the 50/50 joint venture corporate entity, CG Xploration Inc. ("CGX") and commenced activities to wind up and liquidate it by the end of calendar 2011.

Share Purchase Warrants Activity
During the Past Quarter, the following activity involving the Company’s share purchase warrants occurred:

Exercises - No outstanding share purchase warrants were exercised.

New Issues – A total of 1,812,500 new warrants were issued in connection with a convertible promissory note. The new warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share up to September 21, 2013.

Expiry - No share purchase warrants expired.

Amendments – The term of 3,975,000 share purchase warrants were extended to expire on December 31, 2013 with no change to their exercise price of $0.07 each.

Expiry – No outstanding incentive stock options expired.

Amendments – The term of 650,000 incentive stock options were extended to expire on December 31, 2012 with no change to their exercise price of $0.07 each.

Common Share Conversion Rights Activity
During the Past Quarter, the following activity involving the common share conversion rights issued by the Company occurred:

Exercises - There were no exercises of outstanding common share conversion rights.

New Issues – On September 21, 2011 the Company issued conversion rights in the amount of 3,125,000 shares as part and parcel of a convertible promissory note which raised proceeds of $250,000 for the Company as described above. The conversion rights provide that the note holder may convert the $250,000 note into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.08 per share. The rights expire on actual repayment of the note. The note provides for repayment on its maturity on September 16, 2012.

Expiry – No outstanding common shares conversion rights expired.

Amendments – There were no amendments to the terms of any outstanding common share conversion rights.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended September 30, 2011
The “Past Quarter” ended September 30, 2011 marks the end of the First Quarter of the Company’s annual fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.


•	Summary of Quarterly Results

The following table sets out selected unaudited quarterly financial information of Continental and is derived from unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared by management. The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with IFRS.

2^ndQuarter 2010	Nil	(273,499	)	(0.00	)

Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s exploration and financing activities. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favourable terms, the Company’s activity levels and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will increase.

Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized exploration and evaluation assets. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized exploration and evaluation assets when exploration results indicate that no further work is warranted. The size and timing of these write-offs cannot typically be predicted and affect the Company’s quarterly results. The Company regularly reviews its oil and gas properties to determine whether or not a write-down or write-off of the capitalized exploration and evaluation assets is required.

Non-cash costs such as share based payments expense and financing fees also effect the size of the Company’s quarterly loss.


•	Liquidity

As at September 30, 2011, the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $930,187. This represents a decrease in working capital of $108,628 compared to the June 30, 2011 working capital deficit of $821,559. The main use of funds during the current period was the Company’s general and administrative expenditures during the period.

The cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $122,067 compared to $17,427 as at September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $104,640.

The Company used $145,031 for operating activities during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 compared with $47,945 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010, related to the ongoing general and administrative expenses of the Company.

Cash resources used for investing activities during the year ended September 30, 2011 was $329 compared with $217 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, consisting solely of exploration and evaluation expenditures on the Company’s oil and gas properties. The Company’s oil and gas property expenditures continue to be at a maintenance level until management decides to commence further exploration an development of its Indonesian properties.

Cash resources provided by financing activities during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 was $250,000 compared with $Nil in the three month period ended September 30, 2010, consisting entirely of the proceeds received upon issuance of the convertible promissory note as disclosed above.


•	Operations

Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 of $312,113 compared to $1,385,026 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The Company had a loss per share of $0.00 in 2011 compared to a loss per share of $0.02 in 2010.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,144,374 from $1,456,161 to $311,787 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The significant changes to general and administrative expenses are as follows: Most significantly, non-cash financing fees decreased from $1,115,458 to $160,994 as terms of fewer outstanding share purchase warrants were modified resulting in a lower incremental fair value charge during the three month period ended September 30, 2011. The majority of the other expenditure items in this category also decreased from 2010 to 2011 including management fees, which decreased from $94,569 to $55,017 as a result of the termination of an employment contract during the prior year and the resignation of a director in the current year. Office expenses decreased from $35,081 to $8,579 as a result of the sale of the Company’s inactive subsidiary, Continental Energy Pte. Ltd. (“CEPL”) in the prior year and efforts to wind up the operations of the CGX joint venture. Professional fees decreased from $20,935 to $8,973 as a result of lower charges from accounting consultants. Share-based payments expense resulting from incremental fair value charges due to modification of terms of outstanding share purchase options decreased from $147,894 to $12,435.

The decreases in the above costs were offset by an increase in the following cost categories: Consulting fees increased from $22,500 to $30,000 as a result of the new CFO contract that was entered into during the current period ending September 30, 2011. Investor relations costs increased from $4,500 to $30,440 as the result of arrangements that have been made with the provider hosting the Company’s website.

The Company’s business consists of oil and gas exploration. Details on a geographic basis are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The details of the Company’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2011. The following policies are considered by management to be essential for understanding the processes and reasoning that go into the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the uncertainties that could have a bearing on its financial results:

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following:


	•	the carrying value and the recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, which are included in the statements of financial position;
	•	the future environmental rehabilitation costs;
	•	the fair value determination of the Company’s promissory notes payable;
	•	the inputs used in accounting for the valuation of warrants and modification of their terms;
	•	the inputs used in accounting for share based payments expense which is included in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss; and
	•	the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

General exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures incurred prior to acquiring legal right to explore are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

The costs related to each cost center in the development stage is depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves of each country. Oil and natural gas reserves and production is converted into equivalent units based upon estimated relative energy content

The capitalized costs less accumulated amortization in each cost centre from which there is production is limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves (based on estimated future prices and costs at the statement of financial position date) plus the cost (net of impairments) of unproved properties ("ceiling test"). The total capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and amortization of all cost centres is further limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves plus the cost (net of impairments) of all unproved properties less estimated future general and administrative expenses, future financing costs and taxes.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Initial Adoption of IFRS

These are the first unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and accounting policies consistent with IFRS. The Company adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”). The first date at which IFRS was applied was July 1, 2010 (“Transition Date”). IFRS 1 provides for certain mandatory exceptions and optional exemptions for first time adopters of IFRS.

IFRS 1 requires that the same policies are applied for all periods presented in the first IFRS financial statements and that those policies comply with IFRSs in effect as at the end of the first IFRS annual reporting period. Accordingly, the opening IFRS statement of financial position, 2011 comparatives and current period financial statements have been prepared using the same policies. The previously presented 2011 Canadian GAAP financial information has been reconciled to the IFRS information as part of the transition note in accordance with the requirements of IFRS1. Further, the policies applied have been done so on a full retrospective basis unless alternative treatment is permitted or required by an IFRS 1 election or exception.

The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated July 1, 2010:

IFRS 3 - Business Combinations

IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments

IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that were granted prior to November 7, 2002 and vested before July 1, 2010.

IFRS 6 – Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources


	•	For exploration and evaluation assets, at the carrying value determined under Canadian GAAP; and
	•	For assets in the development and production phases, at the amount determined for the cost center under Canadian GAAP allocated pro rata using reserves volumes or values at the transition date.

The Company has chosen to apply the exemption and continue using the cost of its exploration and evaluation assets determined under Canadian GAAP.

Estimates

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of July 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date.

IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. The adoption of IFRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of loss and comprehensive loss and cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2011 and the three month period ended September 30, 2011 as previously presented under Canadian GAAP. There was also no material impact on the Company’s statement of equity as at July 1, 2010, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and for the year ended June 30, 2011 as presented under Canadian GAAP.

Future Accounting Changes

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) on October 28, 2010, and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 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. Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements.

On December 20, 2010, the IASB published Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets – Amendments to IAS 12. The amendments provide an exception to the general principle in IAS 12 that the measurement of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities should reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of an asset. This amendment applies to deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities that arise from investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 and introduces a rebuttable presumption that the carrying value of the investment property will be recovered entirely through sale. The amendments must be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

In addition, in May 2011, the IASB issued the following standards which have not yet been adopted by the Company: IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12), IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27), IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13) and amended IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (IAS 28). Each of the new standards is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet begun the process of assessing the impact that the new and amended standards will have on its financial statements or whether to early adopt any of the new requirements.

Capital Resources
The Company has no operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependant on management’s ability to discover economically viable oil and gas deposits. The oil and gas exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for oil and gas exploration investment, the Company’s track record and the experience and caliber of its management.

With a working capital deficit of $930,187 as at September 30, 2011, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative, corporate development and exploration activities over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties.

Recent degradation of the market conditions for the financing of equity and/or debt for oil and gas exploration and development companies has created additional uncertainty for future financing of the acquisition or development of the Company’s projects.

The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labor, fuel and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on oil and gas properties. Power may need to be generated on site.

Oil and gas exploration is a speculative venture. There is no certainty that the money spent on exploration and development will result in the discovery of an economic oil or gas accumulation. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial accumulations of oil or gas. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be related to the success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other oil and gas exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.

The market price of energy is volatile and cannot be controlled.

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’ financial instruments are summarized below.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars:


						Accounts
						payable and
						accrued
September 30, 2011		Cash		Receivables		liabilities
Canadian dollars	$	5,845	$	4,635	$	(31,396	)
Indonesian Rupiah	RP	94,055,754	RP	-	RP	(22,500,000	)

Indonesian Rupiah	RP	11,911,357	RP	-	RP	(72,236,435	)

At September 30, 2011, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase pre-tax loss by $1,222.


	b)	Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at September 30, 2011, the Company had a cash balance of $122,067 (June 30, 2011 - $17,427; July 1, 2010 - $88,843) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $1,056,294 (June 30, 2011 - $847,469; July 1, 2010 - $284,787). Management is currently working on obtaining financing to meet these obligations.

Interest rate risk

Commodity price risk

The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and evaluation activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its resource properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes share capital as well as cash and receivables.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements or acquire or dispose of assets. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
