This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared by the management of Continental Energy Corporation (the "Company") as of 11 February 2015 (the "Report Date"). It is intended to supplement and complement the unaudited, condensed, interim, consolidated quarterly financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") that are also prepared by management and filed herewith.

The Interim Financial Statements and this MD&A pertain to the three month period ended 31 December 2014, which corresponds to the Second Quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending 30 June 2015. This quarter is hereinafter referred to as the "Second Quarter" or as the "Past Quarter".

All financial information presented herein, and in the Interim Financial Statements, has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). All amounts disclosed are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

PART-1: NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company is an emerging international energy investment company established to acquire participating interests in conventional, alternative, and renewable energy generation and distribution projects in a geographic area focused on the developing countries of the "Indian Ocean Rim", including those in bordering the Indian Ocean in Southeast Asia, East Africa, and South Asia.

PART-2: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SECOND QUARTER

Significant events which may have a material effect on the business affairs of the Company that have occurred during the Second Quarter are summarized below:

Ruaha Power Teams Up With Husk Power Systems
In a news release dated 1 October 2014 the Company announced that its Tanzanian affiliate, Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. ("Ruaha Power"), had entered into a joint venture agreement with Husk Power Systems ("HPS") and had taken delivery of its first 32kW biomass power plant at its Dar es Salaam workshop. The power plant will provide primary generation capacity at Ruaha Power's first build-own-operate "Mini-Grid" network which shall generate, distribute, and sell electrical power directly to residential, commercial, and light industrial customers at pre-pay meters.

Ruaha Power plans to install several similar Mini-Grids in the Morogoro and Iringa Regions of Tanzania. The generation plant runs on syngas produced in an integrated biomass gasifier fueled by locally available agricultural residue. The plant and its related systems are proprietary designs supplied by HPS, and will be operated as an embedded generator within Ruaha Power's biomass-diesel hybrid Mini-Grid under the terms of a 50/50 joint venture arrangement between HPS and Ruaha Power.

Ruaha Power Kicks Off Malolo Mini-Grid
In a news release dated 7 October 2014 the Company announced that its Tanzanian affiliate, Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. ("Ruaha Power"), had commenced construction of the Phase-I development of its Malolo Mini-Grid and had begun signing up first subscribers from a waiting list of 400 customers.

The Malolo Mini-Grid is the first of four separate, isolated rural "Mini-Grids" to be built, owned, and operated by the Ruaha Power, from which it intends to generate, distribute, and sell electrical power directly to consumers at pre-payment meters. When complete, the four Malolo Mini-Grids will have a combined generation capacity of 300kW and each Mini-Grid shall directly deliver 75kW of power to a combined total of approximately 2,500 identified residential, commercial, and light industrial customers. The Mini-Grids are being installed in an area surrounding the village of Malolo and three nearby villages, all located in the Kilosa District, Morogoro Region, Tanzania.





Phase-I of the Malolo Mini-Grid development is expected to commence power deliveries by the end of the first quarter of 2015. It involves the installation and commissioning of the first embedded generators, a 25kW hybrid biomass gasifier and a 25kW diesel generation plant, together with more than four kilometers of low voltage distribution network to deliver power to about 400 subscribers. The distribution network will be constructed to standards sufficient for connection to the national grid at such time as it may be extended into the Malolo Mini-Grid area. A 21,500 square-foot site near the village of Malolo has been acquired for the first generator house and power line easements have been arranged. Civil works and the construction of the first powerhouse and office has begun and are expected to be complete by year end. A Phase-II development is planned to add solar PV capacity to complete a hybrid biomass / solar PV / diesel powered Mini-Grid. Ruaha Power plans to duplicate the Phase-I and Phase-II development at each of the other three villages, one after the other, upon completion of Phase-II of the first network.

Tanzania REA - Renewable Energy Grant
In a news release on 9 December 2014, the Company announced that its Tanzanian subsidiary, Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. ("Ruaha Power"), had been appointed manager of a US$ 95,000 grant from the Rural Energy Agency ("REA") of Tanzania. The grant is made under the Tanzania Energy Development Access ("TEDAP") program with funds provided by the World Bank and the Global Environmental Fund. The proceeds of the grant are to be used to conduct a site specific technical and environmental study for a Ruaha Power proposed two megawatt hybrid renewable energy generation and distribution network, or "Mini-Grid", incorporating a mix of run-of-river hydropower, solar photovoltaic, and biomass gasifier technologies. The study area is in the Iringa and Dodoma regions of central Tanzania and is near the 300 kilowatt Malolo Mini-Grid, an existing hybrid biomass-diesel-solar power project, already under development by Ruaha Power.

Tanzania US TDA - Renewable Energy Grant
In a news release on 15 December, the Company announced that the United States Trade Development Agency ("USTDA") has awarded a $600,000 grant to support the development by Continental's subsidiary, Ruaha River Power Company Limited ("Ruaha Power"), of two 10 Megawatt ("MW") run-of-river hydropower facilities that will supply power to both the national grid and to off-grid villages in the Lukosi River basin region of Tanzania. The grant is to fund a detailed feasibility study, to be undertaken by U.S. consulting company Knight Piesold & Co., that will evaluate technical requirements of the proposed facilities and make recommendations on a standardized 10 MW hydropower plant design, layout, and equipment configuration that Ruaha Power can use to fast-track the developments at these and other Ruaha Power selected localities where the required site conditions for a similar size hydropower plant are appropriate.

  • Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s business 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 favorable terms, the Company’s business activity levels increase.

  • Until the end of fiscal 2014 on 30 June 2014, the Company used the equity accounting method for the business activity of VTT Maritime AS (“VTT”) and RADA Engineering and Consulting AS (“RADA”), two private Norwegian entities owned by the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary Visionaire Energy AS (“Visionaire”). This method caused significant variations in the Company’s results of operations from period to period prior to the end of fiscal 2014. The operations of Visionaire were held for sale and discontinued effective 30 June 2014.

  • Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized assets and its investments. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized assets when no further work is warranted and also write-down or write-off its balances in investees if it determines that capitalized balances of these investments are impaired. The size and timing of these write-downs and write-offs cannot typically be predicted and affect the Company’s quarterly results. The Company regularly reviews its properties and investments for any indications of impairment.

  • Non-cash costs such as those attributable to calculated valuations of share based payments expenses and financing fees also affect the size of the Company’s quarterly income (loss).

PART-8: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

As at the end of the Second Quarter, the Company’s Interim Financial Statements reflected a decrease in the working capital deficiency of $152,552 from 30 June 2014, the end of the previous fiscal year. The working capital deficiency of $693,794 as at 30 June 2014 was reduced to $541,242 by the end of the Second Quarter.

The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to develop new business opportunities which become profitable. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s growth and develop new business opportunities 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 such funds, including the health of the capital markets, the climate for investment in the sectors the Company is considering, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management.

The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative requirements and new business development objectives over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including providing for new opportunities as they arise. 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.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue new business development and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. The Company's 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 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 liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard 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 period ended 31 December 2014.





PART-9: RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company has no history of profitable operations and is currently in the early stages of its development. 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 to take advantage of further growth and development of new opportunities and 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 growth or new opportunity development.

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.

PART-10: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

10.1 Transactions With Related Parties And Related Party Balances

11.5 Claims, Contingencies & Litigation
As at the Report Date, the Company is in default of repayment of an unsecured $250,000 promissory note convertible into common shares of the Company. The Company has offered the holder terms for converting a portion of the note in accordance with its provisions together with extending its term. There are no guarantees that these discussions will result in a resolution mutually acceptable to the Company and the note holder. Except for the foregoing and any contingencies elsewhere disclosed herein, or in the Interim Financial Statements for the Second Quarter published herewith, the Company knows of no material, active or pending claims or legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation that might materially adversely affect the Company or a property interest of the Company.

PART-12: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and the related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Except as disclosed below, the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates applied in the preparation of its Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2014.

Critical Judgment:

Acquisition of Interest in Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. (“Ruaha Power”)
On 30 April 2014, during the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2014, the Company received 4,250,000 new-issue, fully paid-up, ordinary shares of Ruaha Power representing a 42.5% shareholding interest. Ruaha Power is a renewable energy power developer, incorporated and based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It develops small and mid-sized power projects with the intent of acting as an independent power producer and distribution networks or “Mini” operator of off-grid isolated mini-grids. The Company was one of four founding shareholders of Ruaha Power. A privately owned Tanzanian company, Kitonga Electric Power Company (“Kitonga”) was issued a 15% stake in Ruaha Power. A privately owned American company, Pan African Management and Development Company, Inc. (“Panafra”) and its Tanzanian affiliate, Kastan Mining PLC (“Kastan”) were issued 30.0% and 12.5% respectively.

The Company earned its shares of Ruaha Power by incurring certain costs in enabling its management to do work and provide substantial assistance attributable to the creation and preparation of Ruaha Power’s business plans prior to the shares issue date. The Company did not capitalize any amount for the work done in consideration of the issue of shares at the 30 June 2014 fiscal year end because Ruaha Power at that time had no assets and had not yet commenced business operations (Note 5 of the Interim Financial Statements).

Joint Venture of Ruaha Power with Husk Power Systems Lt. (“Husk Power”)
On 15 August 2014, Ruaha Power entered into a joint venture agreement with Husk Power Systems Ltd. (“Husk Power”) for power generation at the Malolo Mini-Grid (the “Mini-Grid”). As a portion of its contribution to the joint venture, Husk Power supplied a biomass gasifier power plant (“Husk Plant”) at an agreed, deemed value of $60,000. The Husk Plant is to be used as the first embedded generator in the Malolo Mini-Grid and as a portion of its contribution to the joint venture Ruaha Power will undertake to construct the distribution network portion of the Malolo Mini-Grid. Once power sales commence, the joint venture parties agreed to share, on an equal basis, that portion of Mini-Grid net income after operating expenses that are attributable to and limited to power generated by the Husk Plant. The Company’s joint venture contribution for construction of the Malolo Mini-Grid is capitalized within property, plant and equipment (Note Error! Reference source not found. of the Interim Financial Statements).

Acquisition of Majority and Controlling Interest in Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. (“Ruaha Power”)
Effective from 11 October 2014, the four founding shareholders of Ruaha Power entered into an agreement which terminated the original shareholder agreement.

PART-13: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments as at 31 December 2014, consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the convertible debt. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity. There were no off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Cash, other than minor amounts of Indonesian Rupiahs and Tanzanian Shillings consist solely of cash deposits with major Canadian banks. The Company therefore considers its credit risk to be low. The Company does not use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates involving Canadian dollar, Indonesian Rupiah and Tanzanian Shillings. However, as the Company holds its funds primarily in US dollars, the risk of foreign exchange loss is considered low by the Company’s management.
