Continental Energy Corporation

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

31 March 2012

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)


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 in Vancouver, BC with the primary business office in Jakarta, Indonesia.

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, and IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2011. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 13 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company’s reported equity as at 31 March 2011 and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended 31 March 2011, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on the IFRS effective for the year ended 30 June 2012, as issued and outstanding as of 25 April 2012, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2012 could result in restatements of these interim consolidated financial statements, including transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Canadian GAAP annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011, and the Company’s interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2011 prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial statements.



3.	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.

Continental Energy Corporation

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

31 March 2012

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

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 nine months ended 31 March 2012.

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:

Continental Energy Corporation

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

31 March 2012

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)


	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:


	31 March	30 June
	2012	2011
	$	$
Level 1
Cash	456,691	17,427
Level 2	-	-
Level 3	-	-
	456,691	17,427

The carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and convertible debt approximated their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Financial Risk Management

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


						Accounts
						payable and
						accrued
31 March 2012		Cash		Receivables		liabilities
Canadian dollars	$	-	$	4,963	$	(33,791	)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

31 March 2012

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

At 31 March 2012, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase pre-tax loss by $2,808.

	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 31 March 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $456,691 (30 June 2011 - $17,427) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $456,950 (30 June 2011 - $847,469). 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.

Bengara-II Property

During the nine month period ended 31 March 2012, the Company incurred $329 (31 March 2011 –$515) in geological and geophysical interpretation and evaluation costs on the joint venture area of mutual interest surrounding the Bengara-II PSC in Indonesia. At 31 March 2012 and 2011, no future benefits could be attributed to this property and consequently the capitalized costs were written off.

CGB2

By share purchase and transfer agreements with effective dates of 1 August 1998 and subsequent amendments between 30 September 1998 and 19 January 2000, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (“CGB2”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands which owned a 100% interest in the Bengara-II PSC in Indonesia.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of CGB2 using the purchase method. On 1 January 2000, the Company farmed out 40% of its 100% interest in CGB2 and its respective underlying properties to GeoPetro Resources Company (“GeoPetro”).

On 29 September 2006, the Company sold 70% of its 60% interest in CGB2 to CNPC (Hong Kong) Limited (“CNPC-HK”) for a gain of $23,906 and an obligation by CNPC-HK to carry the Company's share of the costs of drilling 4 exploration wells. The Company retained an 18% shareholding of CGB2, which is recorded at $1 in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as fair value was not reliably determined.

CEPL

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company sold 100% of its shares in its inactive subsidiary Continental Energy Pte. Ltd. (“CEPL”) to Transafrica Management SARL (60%) and C&S Infrastructure LLC (40%) for consideration of $71,500 which was to be paid on or before 1 November 2010. Included in the Company’s deficit are the results of operations of CEPL from the date of incorporation to 20 September 2010.

13.	Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”) 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.

31 March 2012

Expressed in U.S. Dollars

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

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 and nine month period ended 31 March 2011 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 and nine month period ended 31 March 2011 and for the year ended 30 June 2011 as presented under Canadian GAAP.


14.	Subsequent Events

	a)	On 1 April 2012, the Company entered into an employment contract with its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) for the amount of $12,500 per month.

	b)	On 1 April 2012, the Company entered into an employment contract with its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for the amount of $10,000 per month.

No brokerage or arranger's fees were incurred. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the placement for general working capital to finance a two pronged strategic initiative of expansion of the Company's business operations.

Firstly, the Company intends to leverage its Southeast Asian business experience and long established energy industry contacts to expand its operations into other Southeast Asian countries outside of its core Indonesian operations in the Bengara-II Block.

Secondly, the Company intends to leverage its in-house geoscience technical expertise in Indonesia into non-conventional gas exploration and production and is targeting stranded gas and coal bed methane as attractive energy sectors for expansion.

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 1,350,000 new share purchase warrants were issued to two arm’s length parties involved in providing investor relations and other financial services to the Company. Of this total, an amount of 1,000,000 warrants, having an exercise price of US$ 0.07 and an expiry date of June 30, 2013, were issued as total compensation to an arm’s length party pursuant to a written contract dated March 16, 2012. Of the total, an amount of 350,000 warrants, having an exercise price of US$ 0.15 and an expiry date of June 30, 2013, were issued as partial consideration to an arm’s length party pursuant to a written contract dated March 21, 2012.

Reinstatement - A total of 1,000,000 warrants having an exercise price of US$ 0.15 each and an expiry date of September 12, 2012 were originally issued to a third party as partial compensation of a financial advisory services contract with the Company dated September 12, 2009. The same 1,000,000 warrants were subsequently amended by the Company and the exercise price reduced to US$ 0.07 together with a reduction in term to December 31, 2011. These warrants were assigned in their original form by the holder to a third party in satisfaction of a debt. The new holder approached the Company about these warrants which he accepted in good faith and may wish to exercise on the original terms. In its financial statement of December 31, 2011 the Company recorded these warrants as expired. By action of the board the 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares at an exercise price of US$ 0.15 until September 12, 2012, their original terms, were reinstated.

Expiry–No outstanding common shares purchase warrants expired. However, pursuant to a debt settlement agreement with a warrants holder for discharge of accrued fees payable, a total of 350,000 warrants having an exercise price of $0.09 per share and otherwise set to expire on September 16, 2012 were cancelled and made null and void.

Amendments – No amendments were made to the terms of any outstanding share purchase warrants.

Incentive Stock Options Activity

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended March 31, 2012
The “Past Quarter” ended March 31, 2012 marks the end of the Third 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.

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 affect the size of the Company’s quarterly loss.

Operations

Nine month period ended March 31, 2012

Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the nine month period ended March 31, 2012 of $1,638,096 compared to $1,707,236 in the nine month period ended March 31, 2011. The Company had a loss per share of $0.02 in 2012 compared to a loss per share of $0.02 in 2011.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $490,612 from $1,778,223 to $1,287,611 for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The significant changes to general and administrative expenses are as follows: Most significantly, non-cash financing fees decreased from $1,115,459 to $164,559 as terms of fewer outstanding share purchase warrants were modified resulting in a lower incremental fair value charge during the nine month period ended March 31, 2012. Management fees decreased from $218,435 to $131,463 as a result of the termination of an employment contract and the temporary suspension of the salary of an officer in the prior year. Office expenses decreased from $76,638 to $28,711 as a result of the sale of the Company’s inactive subsidiary, Continental Energy Pte. Ltd. (“CEPL”) in the prior year and the wind up of the operations of the CGX joint venture.

The decreases in the above costs were offset by an increase share-based payments expense which increased from $147,894 to $662,460 as a result of new option grants in the current period. Accretion expense increased from $nil to $31,621 as a result of accretion of the discounted liability balance of the convertible note issued by the Company during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Travel and accommodation expense increased from $5,407 to $34,003 as a result of increased corporate travel related to securing the private placement which was completed in March.

The overall loss for the nine month period also included the loss on settlement of debt of $368,000 and the gain on dissolution of CGX of $17,829. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its subsidiary, CEPL of $71,502.

Three month period ended March 31, 2012

Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 of $1,198,449 compared to $139,065 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The Company had a loss per share of $0.01 in 2012 and $0.00 in 2011.

General and administrative expenses increased by $691,388 from $139,065 to $830,453 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The primary reason for the difference is an increase in share-based payments expense which increased from $nil to $650,025 as a result of new option grants in the current period. Accretion expense also increased from $nil to $15,362 as a result of accretion of the discounted liability balance of the convertible note issued by the Company during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Travel and accommodation expense increased from $340 to $19,975 as a result of increased corporate travel related to securing the private placement which was completed in March.

The overall loss for the three month period also included the loss on settlement of debt of $368,000.

Liquidity

As at March 31, 2012, the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect working capital of $22,063.

Capital Resources
The Company has no operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent 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 working capital of $22,063 as at March 31, 2012 and additional anticipated costs, 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.

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:


	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)	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.

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.

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.

Changes in Accounting Policies


	a)	Initial Adoption of IFRS

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2012 are 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”) and the three months ended September 30, 2011 was the Company’s first reporting period under IFRS. 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 and nine month period ended March 31, 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 and nine month period ended March 31, 2011 and for the year ended June 30, 2011 as presented under Canadian GAAP.


	b)	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.

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:


						Accounts
						payable and
						accrued
March 31, 2012		Cash		Receivables		liabilities
Canadian dollars	$	-	$	4,963	$	(33,791	)
Indonesian Rupiah	RP	7,068,894	RP	-	RP	-

						Accounts
						payable and
						accrued
June 30, 2011		Cash		Receivables		liabilities
Canadian dollars	$	59	$	2,327	$	(97,526	)
Indonesian Rupiah	RP	4,476,099	RP	-	RP	(22,500,000	)

At March 31, 2012, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase pre-tax loss by $2,808.


	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 March 31, 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $456,691 (June 30, 2011 - $17,427) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $456,950 (June 30, 2011 - $847,469) 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.

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.
