  • Fiscal 2017 - This Annual Report is for the period pertaining to our Fiscal Year ended on 6/30/17, which is herein referred to as “Fiscal 2017”, and includes audited annual consolidated financial statements as at that date.

  • Report Date - The date of this Annual Report is 8/17/17, which is referred to herein as the "Report Date". This Annual Report was prepared during August 2017 and the information contained herein is current and valid as at the Report Date.

In accordance with the Company's Canadian securities regulatory requirements and continuous disclosure obligations promulgated under National Instrument 51-102, the Company is also filing a copy of this Form-20F on SEDAR in Canada as an "AIF" or "Annual Information Form". This AIF filing is as permitted under Part-1.1.(1) of NI 51-102. Some additional content required by Form NI 51-102F2 AIF is contained herein that would not otherwise be required for the sole purposes of a Form-20F Annual Report pursuant to sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM - 1 : IDENTITY OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISERS

This Form-20F is filed as an Exchange Act "Annual Report" and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-1 is not applicable. Disclosure of information on directors and senior managers may instead be found in Item-6.

ITEM - 2 : OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE

This Form-20F is filed as an Exchange Act "Annual Report" and not as a "registration statement" and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-2 is not applicable.

Item - 3 : Key Information

A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

The financial data for Fiscal Years ended 6/30/15, 6/30/16, and 6/30/17 as shown in the following table is derived from our audited financial statements as indicated in the independent auditor’s report included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The data for the Fiscal Years ended 6/30/13 and 6/30/14 are derived from the Company's audited financial statements, not included herein, but filed with previous Form-20FAnnual Reports and incorporated herein by this reference.

Commencing from 7/01/11 and for the Fiscal Years ended 6/30/12 and later, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards {"IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") instead of GAAP. The Company's first annual IFRS consolidated financial statements were prepared for the Fiscal Year ended 6/30/12 with restated comparatives for the previous Fiscal Year ended 6/30/11.

The Company has not calculated and is not reporting any ratio of earning to fixed charges, to combined fixed charges or to any dividends and has not calculated and reported any other ratios, other than earnings per share, in this Annual Report; and hence no basis for such calculation is included.





The selected financial data set forth in the following table, stated in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

This Form-20F is filed as an Exchange Act "Annual Report" and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-3.C is not applicable.

D. RISK FACTORS.

Much of the information contained in this Annual Report includes or is based on estimates, projections or other “forward looking” statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by our Company and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.

Our business prospects as an emerging international energy producer, our ongoing operations at a particular project, or our overall financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks:





a)     

Competitive Risk - Competition among international energy producing companies for quality international oil, gas, and electricity production properties; for reliable joint venture partners; and for limited amounts of new development capital is intense.

 

 
b)     

Political Risk - The Company's business activities and investments are all located out of its home jurisdiction of Canada and are subject to the political risks of foreign investment. These include potential changes in laws affecting foreign ownership, contract and area tenure, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties, rates of exchange and exchange controls. Any new government policies adverse to the Company could include a change in crude oil pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls. Direct and indirect effects of the decline in value of the local currency have included high levels of domestic inflation, reductions in employment, high interest rates, unavailability of traditional sources of financing, and an overall contraction in production and income levels. These conditions have affected and may continue to affect the operating environment in a particular country, as well as the cost and availability of financing for natural resources development efforts. The normal economic conditions in any country may sustain shocks that exacerbate adverse economic conditions and such shocks could originate from various sources, including social unrest, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, secessionist provinces, lack of government effectiveness due to political uncertainty, or policy initiatives that are adverse to foreign investment.

 

 
c)     

Minority Shareholding Risks - The Company from time to time holds only a minority or similar non-controlling shareholding interest in a partially owned subsidiary company which in turn owns and operates a particular project, property, business, and/or investment. In such cases the Company may exert no direct management control and have only very limited influence on decisions which may impact the performance of such partially owned subsidiary. This lack of direct management control could have a detrimental effect upon the value of the Company’s interests.

 

 
d)     

JV Operator Risk - It is customary in the international oil and gas exploration and production business to share geological and engineering risks through partnerships with other oil companies through a Joint Venture ("JV") arrangement under a joint operating agreements. One member of the JV group, usually the one with the largest interest, is the designated "Operator" for the JV and conducts all management of operations on the property or project on behalf of the group. The Company's degree of influence and control over the Operator and the JV is directly proportional to the amount of participating interest held by the Company in proportion to that held by other interest holders. Annual budgets and major expenditures are authorized by the JV group members voting according to their respective percentage holding of the JV. In any case where the Company holds less than a voting control interest in the JV, the Company is at risk of being forced into contributing its shares of costs on activities it does not want to pursue or giving up some portion of its interest in the entire JV if it elects not to pay its share or fails to pay its share, as may be provided for under the terms of the joint operating agreement.

 

 
e)     

JV Partner Risk - Any number of risks beyond the control of the Company could have a detrimental effect on the Company's JV partners, including the JV Operator and cause them to be unable to fund their own share of JV costs or meet their share of JV commitments. In such case there is a high degree of risk that the Company would not be able to take up and pay a failed partner's share of JV costs and the Company's own JV interest may thereby be detrimentally affected.

 

 
f)     

Geological Risk - From time to time the Company participates in exploration for new oil and gas accumulations or it evaluates the availability of sufficient water, wind, or geothermal resources to justify a possible alternative energy development. Each of these activities involves a high degree of geological risk. There is no assurance that expenditure to be made by the Company in the search for such resources will result in any discoveries of sufficient resources of a quantity to justify or sustain a commercial development.

 

 
g)     

Transport Risk - The marketability of any oil, gas, or electrical power which the Company may produce may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors may determine whether a new project is commercially viable at all, and include the proximity and capacity of existing pipelines, storage capacity, power transmission lines, and the locations of principal off-takers or markets.

 

 
h)     

Operating Risks - Oil, gas, and electricity production operations involve risks normally incident to such heavy industrial activities, including fires, spills, equipment failure, accidents, and well blowouts. Any of these hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of, our facilities or properties. Such hazards could also injure persons or adversely affect the environment. Dealing with such damage could greatly increase the cost of operations and detrimentally affect our financial condition.

 

 
i)     

Environmental Risks - Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities of the countries in which we conduct our business activities may be changed and such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

 

 
j)     

Health and Safety Risks - Many of our business activities are subject to health and safety standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities of the countries in which we conduct our business activities. We may become subject to claims for liability for injuries or deaths to our workers or others against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.





k)     

Title Risk - We have or may acquire leases, rights or other property associated with our projects, but the property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through our due diligence searches. We believe our interests are valid, but this is no guarantee against possible claims. If title to property associated with our projects is challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such claims and our ownership interest therein may be detrimentally affected if we lose.

 

 
l)     

Price Volatility Risks - During the past few years, world oil and gas prices have undergone an unprecedented rise followed closely by a precipitous decline. Skyrocketing demand in emerging markets has driven electricity prices to record highs in many localities. This price volatility has substantial impact upon the international oil and gas and energy business and the Company's business in particular. The nature of the impact and its future effect upon the Company is almost impossible to determine with any degree of confidence. Continued volatility of oil, gas, and electricity prices adds substantial risk to the Company's efforts to plan, budget, or forecast its business activities. Price volatility may contribute to an inability of the Company to repay any debt or pay any obligations on its projects which could have serious and material adverse consequences on the Company.

 

 
m)     

Currency/Exchange Rate Risk - Many of the financial obligations and commitments the Company from time to time undertakes in its international energy business are denominated in US Dollars. A substantial amount of the Company's business transactions are, and may be, denominated in other currencies. Fluctuations in these currencies may have a substantial effect on the Company’s financial statements due to related gains or losses due to exchange rate changes. The Company does not hedge and engage in other strategies to protect itself from adverse fluctuations in the respective exchange rate. Significant variations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations.

 

 
n)     

Financing Risks - The Company is not generating income or revenue, has generated losses to date and does not presently have sufficient financial resources to undertake by itself all of its planned acquisitions. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain new financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to extend or defer its contractual work commitments in the event sufficient funds are not available. It is possible that prolonged inability of the Company to fund its commitments could result in a loss of some or all of its interest. Management is pursuing all available options to raise working capital and funds for its various projects. There can be no assurance that the management will be successful.

 

 

o)     

Liquidity Risk - The future development of the properties of the Company and acquisition of new properties shall depend upon the ability of the Company to finance through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. The Company intends to raise required additional funds by selling equity or debt securities, until it develops or acquires cash flow from operations. While the Company has been successful in raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can continue to do so. If such funds cannot be secured, the Company will be forced to curtail its exploration/development efforts to a level for which funding can be secured. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing. This situation could be exacerbated by acts of international terrorism or unforeseen political disturbances. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of its exploration programs or the acquisition of new properties and projects.

 

 
p)     

Stock Market Volatility - The effect of volatile oil and gas prices as described above has had a huge effect upon the world stock markets and most companies, including the Company have seen a severe reduction in their market capitalization. Lower stock prices and loss of investor confidence reduce the Company's ability to raise equity capital on the stock markets.

 

 
q)     

Risk of Future Changes in Regulatory Environment - Regardless of their location, our properties and our operations thereon are governed by laws and regulations relating to the development, production, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of crude oil, taxation and environmental and safety matters. Changes to regulations or compliance with regulations may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our Company. Further, exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

 

 
r)     

Risks relating to our Common Stock - Shareholders' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire additional oil and gas property interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of existing shareholders in our Company will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.





s)     

Risk of Concentration of Shareholder Control - Principal shareholders, senior management and Directors have significant influence regarding share ownership. This concentration could lead to conflicts of interest and difficulties for non-insider investors effecting corporate changes, and could adversely affect our Company's share price. As of the Report Date, our senior management, Directors and greater than five percent shareholders (and their affiliates), acting together, held approximately 47 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of our Company and have the ability to influence all matters submitted to our Company's shareholders for approval (including the election and removal of Directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our Company's assets) and to control our Company's management and affairs (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares. Employee, Director and consultant stock options and warrants could lead to greater concentration of share ownership among insiders and could lead to dilution of share ownership which could lead to depressed share prices.

 

 
t)     

Stock Option Risk - Because the success of our Company is highly dependent upon our respective employees, our Company has granted to certain employees, Directors and consultants stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as non-cash incentives (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).To the extent that significant numbers of such stock options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other shareholders of our Company may be diluted causing possible loss of investment value.

 

 
u)     

No Dividend Distribution - We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors may never declare cash dividends, and such action is exclusively within our discretion. Shareholders cannot expect to receive a dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future, if at all.

 

 
v)     

Penny Stock Rules - Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s "Penny Stock" rules which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. The SEC has adopted rules which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors”. The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with their spouse.

 

 
 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

 

 
 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the share that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.

 

 
w)     

Limitations to Buy or Sell Shares - The National Association of Securities Dealer (NASD) has adopted sales practice requirements which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

 

x)     

Indemnity of Officers and Directors - Our articles contain provisions that state, subject to applicable law, we must indemnify every Director or officer of our Company, subject to the limitations of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), against all losses or liabilities that our Company's Directors or Officers may sustain or incur in the execution of their duties. Our articles further state that no Director or officer will be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune that may happen to, or be incurred by our Company in the execution of his duties if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our Company. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of litigation against our Company's Officers and Directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our Company's Officers and Directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and our shareholders.





y)     

Management and Employee Risks - Key management employees may fail to properly carry out their duties or may leave, which could negatively impact our corporate operations and/or our share price. Our Company’s financial condition and the success of our oil and gas operations is dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. We face competition for qualified personnel from numerous industry sources, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of service of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations and/or financial condition, which may negatively impact our share price. We do not have key-man insurance on any of our employees.

 

 
z)     

Key Management Risk - The Company depends entirely upon its management to identify, acquire, finance and operate a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties through which the Company can grow and achieve oil production and a steady income. The Company's management is comprised of a small number of key employees with technical skills and expertise in the business, the loss of any one of whom could harm the Company. The Company does not currently maintain "key-man" insurance for any of its employees.

The Company’s office and investor relations costs were also lower in Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015.

In addition, interest charges were $84,551 in Fiscal 2015 but only $47,385 in Fiscal 2016.

Financial Results For the Company’s Fiscal Year 2015, Ended 6/30/15

All balances referred to in the following discussion are in US$ currency unless otherwise indicated.

Loss during Fiscal Year 2015 Ended 6/30/15 - Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during Fiscal 2015 of $956,418 compared to $939,489 in the prior year ended 6/30/2014. The Company had a loss per share of $0.01 in Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014. The primary contributor to the overall increase in the loss incurred during the year were the Company’s general and administrative expenses as described below, which increased by $168,866. During Fiscal 2015, the Company recognized a loss of $159,837 on the disposal of the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary Visionaire Energy AS. During Fiscal 2014, the Company used the equity accounting method to account for its portion of the operations of Visionaire Energy AS and its affiliates, which resulted in a loss during 6/30/14 of $311,972, and therefore a resultant decrease in Visionaire Energy AS related cost to the Company of $152,135, and offsetting the overall increase in administrative costs.

Finance during Fiscal Year 2015 Ended 6/30/15 - Financing activities during Fiscal 2015 provided $120,000 from private placements on issuance of 2,400,000 common shares of the Company. The Company also converted its loan payable of $750,000 into common shares of the Company by issuing 15,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the prior year, the Company raised $40,000 from private placements and a further $750,000 from said loan, which, as noted above, was converted into the common shares of the Company during Fiscal 2015.

Investments during Fiscal Year 2015 Ended 6/30/15 – The Company sold its 51% interest in Visionaire Energy AS for total consideration of $1,200,000, consisting of the return of 20 million common shares of the Company, issued as part of the original investment in Visionaire Energy AS plus $200,000 in cash. The approval for the disposal of the Company’s shareholders was sought and received on 12/5/2014.

Expenses during Fiscal Year 2015 Ended 6/30/15 - General and administrative expenses during Fiscal 2015 amounted to $799,379 compared to $630,513 during Fiscal 2014, an increase of $168,866. The increase in cost was primarily the result of the stock-based compensation provided to a director by issuing 2,000,000 common shares of the Company. The stock-based compensation amounted to $100,000 compared to $20,877, which pertained to the fair value of the stock options granted during Fiscal 2014, resulting in an overall increase in the expense of $79,123. Other costs with significant increases during 6/30/15 were management fees and salaries, which increased by $54,392 as a result of medical insurance benefits provided to the Company’s officers, and, office costs and professional fees which increased by a combined $79,394 due to the changes involving the Company’s structure, i.e. the sale of Visionaire Energy AS, and the timing difference to Fiscal 2014 regulatory filings and annual meetings. These higher costs were off-set by a decrease in the overall interest charges related to the Company’s convertible promissory note. The interest charges decreased by $50,803 as, during Fiscal 2014, the Company had a series of amendments to the terms of the promissory note which resulted in a higher interest expense to accrete the promissory note to its face value with the amended terms. During Fiscal 2015, the Company only had one amendment to the terms of the promissory notes.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The following discussion of the Company's liquidity and working capital situation includes those for the most recently completed last three Fiscal Years ended 6/30/17, 6/30/16, and 6/30/15. Cash on hand is not sufficient to fund the Company’s overhead costs and new business development costs for the immediate future. The Company intends to focus its efforts on acquisitions of new properties to generate revenue. The Company also intends to conduct additional fund raising activities during the next fiscal year.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2017 on 6/30/17 - At the end of Fiscal 2017 on 6/30/17, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $ 1,721,256 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,282,380 in the previous year. Cash used in





    operating activities during the year ended 6/30/17 totaled $ 307,222, compared with $74,225 in the prior fiscal year. Cash from financing activities during the year ended 6/30/17 was $ 331,090 compared to $71,500 during the prior fiscal year.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2016 on 6/30/16 - At the end of Fiscal 2016 on 6/30/16, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $1,282,380 compared to the 6/30/15 working capital deficit of $836,752. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended 6/30/16 totaled $74,225, compared with $558,421 in the prior year. Cash from financing activities during the year ended 6/30/16 was $71,500 whereas there was $120,000 received from such activities during the year ended 6/30/15.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2015 on 6/30/15 - At the end of Fiscal 2015 on 6/30/15, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $836,752 compared to the 6/30/14 working capital deficit of $693,794. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended 6/30/15 totaled $558,421 compared with $533,013 in the prior fiscal year. Cash received from investing activities during Fiscal 2015 was $ 200,000 compared to a $1,219 use of cash during the prior fiscal year.

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

We do not currently, and did not previously, have research and development policies in place. Over the past three Fiscal Years, no funds were expended by our Company on research and development activities.

D. TREND INFORMATION.

The Company is aware of two global market trends which we believe could have a material effect upon our business operations. These are:

  • Crude Price Gap – Since 2011 there has been a marked change to the historical gap between the global market price of benchmark crude oils WTI and Brent. Prior to 2011, the Brent versus WTI spread traded in a range between a $4 discount for Brent to a $4 premium for Brent oil. The normal state of the relationship was a discount for the Brent crude. Brent has higher sulfur content than WTI, so Brent is more expensive to refine into gasoline. In addition, in years past there were greater supplies of Brent crude as the U.S. was a big importer of the commodity. Therefore, the Brent discount relative to WTI generally hovered between $2 and $4 per barrel. In recent years, volatility in the spread between the two oils has increased and Brent crude has moved to a premium to WTI. Near the Report Date Brent is trading at a $3 premium to WTI.

    The Company expects this trend to continue and the gap to continue or widen in the foreseeable future due largely to the success and revitalization of the US shale oil producers whose oil production is a substitute in terms of volume to non-US sourced oil such as Brent. The Company's core business focus is Indonesia and the SE Asia region where the higher Brent price received for any oil we produce would have a positive effect on the Company. Similarly, the WTI-Brent gap and Brent premium is largely reflected in the prices of refined petroleum products and rapidly rising consumer demand in our core region of operations would also have a positive effect on product revenues for any small-scale refinery we may develop.

  • Natural Gas Prices in SE Asia – Increasing consumer demand in SE Asia for electrical power is driving a rapidly growing market that is also becoming increasingly environmentally aware of the benefits of natural gas power generation over the traditional alternative of coal. Already, gas producers with access to any of the limited pipeline capacity of Indonesia enjoy long-term gas supply contract prices with commercial and sovereign cross-border buyers who pay at multiples of 3 to 5 times over peak season Henry Hub gas prices. New pipeline capacity is being laid to make more gas available to feed the demand. The Company sees the trend from coal to gas as the fuel of choice, and the continued increase in market demand for power, constrained by available transport capacity, as having a possible positive impact on the Company for any gas production or gas-fired power plants it develops.

E. Off-balance sheet arrangements.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

B. COMPENSATION.

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain high performing senior executives, encourage and reward superior performance and align the executives’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Individual compensation may be based on individual experience and performance or other criteria deemed important by the Compensation Committee. In order to meet the Company’s objectives, executive compensation is guided by three principles: 1) providing executives with an equity-based incentive plan, namely a stock option plan; 2) aligning employee compensation with Company corporate objectives; and 3) attracting and retaining qualified individuals in key positions.

a)     

Compensation Policy Elements - An executive compensation policy has been established to acknowledge and reward the contributions of the executive Officers to the Company’s success and to ensure competitive compensation, in order that the Company may benefit from the expertise required to pursue its objectives. The Company’s executive compensation policy is comprised of both fixed and variable components. The variable components include equity and non-equity incentive plans. Each compensation component has a different function, but all elements are intended to work in concert to maximize Company and individual performance by establishing specific, competitive operational and financial goals and by providing financial incentives to employees based on their level of attainment of these goals. The Company’s current executive compensation program is comprised of the following components:

 

 

  • Base Salary - Salaries of the Company’s executive Officers are reviewed periodically by the Compensation Committee. In determining individual base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration individual circumstances that may include the scope of an executive’s position, location of employment, the executive’s relevant competencies, experience, performance, and retention risk.

  • Non-Equity Incentives - The Company has no formal short or long term non-equity incentive compensation plan having objective targets or measures in determining non-equity incentives, but instead periodically makes cash bonuses allocated and paid to one or more executives based on merit and individual accomplishment and contribution to advancing the Company’s project development and strategic objectives. The granting of cash incentives requires the approval of both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors and are based upon an assessment of each individual’s performance in achieving significant value for the Company, specifically; an executive being instrumental in successfully negotiating a new property acquisition, arranging a financing, drilling a successful well, closing a corporate merger or acquisition, or playing a substantive role in a similar milestone event.

  • 2017 Stock Option Plan - The Company has no formal long term equity compensation plan having objective targets or measures in determining equity incentives. Instead incentive compensation paid to the Company’s executive Officers consists exclusively of Option- Based awards pursuant to the Company’s formal stock option plan, from time to time approved by the shareholders. The Company' current incentive stock option plan was adopted and approved at an annual general meeting on 8/04/17. It is known as the "2017 Stock Option Plan", and permits the directors to grant up to 12,301,538 options to purchase common shares, an amount equivalent to 10% of the total common shares issued and outstanding on its approval date. A summary of other key elements of the 2017 Stock Option Plan is as follows:

  a)

Purpose of Plan - The purpose of the 2017 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") is to provide the Company with an equity based compensation mechanism (in this case one common share (a "Share") of the Company underlying each "Option") to attract, retain and motivate qualified "Executives", "Employees" and "Consultants" (as each group is defined in the Plan) to contribute toward the long term goals of the Company. It also encourages such individuals to acquire Shares of the Company as long term investments, and thereby aligns the common interests of such individuals to those of the Company's other shareholders.

     




  b)

Oversight of the Plan - The Compensation Committee of the board of directors is charged with oversight and management of the Plan. The Compensation Committee also determines, subject to the provisions of the Plan, those Executives, Employees and Consultants to whom Options are to be granted; the Exercise Price at which the Option may be exercised; the term for which the Option is to be valid; and the special terms or vesting milestones of the Option, if any, set out in the Option certificate delivered to the holder.

     
  c)

Participation in Plan - The Compensation Committee of the board of directors is charged with oversight and management of the Plan. The Compensation Committee also determines those Executives, Employees and Consultants to whom Options are to be granted.

     
  d)

Maximum Number of Shares - The aggregate maximum number of Options which may be granted under the Plan, including any options granted pursuant to a previous plan, may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon any grant date.

     
  e)

Rolling Return - If any Option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares in respect of such expired or terminated Option shall again be available for the purposes of granting Options pursuant to this Plan. Similarly, 10% of the new shares created on any Option exercise shall contribute to the available pool of Options available for grant.

     
  f)

Exercise Price of Option - The "Exercise Price" shall not be less than the "Market Value" of the Shares as of the grant date. The Market Value of the Shares for a particular grant date is the closing trading price of the Shares on the day immediately preceding the grant date, and may be less than this price only if it is within the discounts permitted by the applicable listing requirements and regulatory authorities.

     
  g)

Limitations on Grant Amounts - The following limitations shall apply to the Plan and all Options granted thereunder:

     
  i.

The maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Option holder under the Plan within any twelve (12) month period shall be five percent (5%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon the grant

     
  ii.

If required by listing or regulatory rules, disinterested shareholder approval is required to the grant to Insiders, within a twelve (12) month period, of a number of Options which, when added to the number of outstanding incentive stock options granted to Insiders within the previous twelve (12) months, exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued Shares;

   

  iii.

The maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Consultant within any twelve (12) month period must not exceed two percent (2%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon the grant date; and

   

  iv.

The maximum number of Options which may be granted within any twelve (12) month period to Employees or Consultants engaged in investor relations activities must not exceed two percent (2%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon the grant date, and such options must vest in stages over twelve (12) months with no more than twenty five (25%) of the Options vesting in any three (3) month period.

   

 
  h)

No Transfers - Options granted under the Plan are not transferable and may not be assigned.

     
i)

Limitations on Term - The expiry date of an Option may be fixed by the Compensation Committee at the date of grant provided that the expiry date of no Option shall be later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its grant date. Additionally:

     
  i.

In the event of the death or disability of the holder, the Options shall expire be exercisable by the holder's personal representative for a period of one-year from the date of death or disability.

     
  ii.

In the event of termination of employment, engagement, or holding of the office for which the Options were granted for any reason including resignation, the Option shall expire thirty (30) days after such termination.

   

 
  • Pension Plan Benefits - The Company does not currently have any formal pension plans that oblige the Company to make payments or provide benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of its Directors, Officers, or employees.

  • Share-Based Awards - The Company does not currently have any formal short or long term share-based award plans that oblige the Company to make any direct grants and issues of Company securities to its Directors, Officers, or employees as compensation.

d)     

Compensation of Directors-The Company has no standard arrangement pursuant to which Directors are compensated by the Company for their services solely in their capacity as Directors except for the granting from time to time of incentive stock options in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan and except for compensation paid to Directors who are also executive Officers. No cash compensation was paid to any Director of the Company for the Director’s services as a Director during the most recently completed financial year, other than the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

 

 
e)     

Compensation of Officers and Directors- During the most recently completed financial year of the Company, the Company compensated its Directors and Officers as set forth in the following table.

When applicable the value of the share-based and options awards reflects the fair value of options granted on the dates of grant. The fair value is computed using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate; b) expected years of life of the option; c) the price of the stock on the grant date; d) expected volatility as a percentage; and e) no expected dividend payments. The Black Scholes model is used to compute option fair values because it is the most commonly used option pricing model and is considered to produce a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Does not included shares held by nominee depositories CDS and CEDE as described in the following section. The Company is not aware of the identities of unregistered shareholders and beneficial owners of the shares held by nominee depositories CDS or CEDE.

Registered and Unregistered Shareholders - We estimate that the total number of Registered and Unregistered Shareholders of the Company is approximately 990, based on the following assumptions:

  • Registered Shareholders - The Company knows the names, residences, and respective numbers of shares held by only those holders who possess a paper certificate on file with our registrar and transfer agent (collectively our “Registered Shareholders”). Each year our transfer and clearing agents Computershare and Broadridge furnish us with a list of Registered Shareholders entitled to vote at our annual general meeting and we use this list to mail proxy and meeting information, and some information about non-objecting beneficial owners who are unknown to us but hold our shares through an intermediary broker dealer or similar financial institution. As at the most recent record date for an annual general meeting we had 190 registered shareholders holding about 57% of our outstanding common shares.

  • Unregistered Shareholders - The Company has researched to the best of its ability, the “Unregistered Shareholders”. The shares of our Unregistered Shareholders are commonly held by brokerage firms that use a share depository institution as its nominee and clearing house on behalf of banks, brokerage firms, institutions and their respective clients. Two of these share depository institutions, CDS and CEDE, hold a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as shown in the preceding table. Canadian Depository for Securities, Inc., or “CDS” is a Canadian depository and “CEDE” an American nominee of the Depository Trust Company is a USA depository. The actual number of shareholders, the amount of shares owned by each, the residence of each, and the identities of each actual individual shareholder represented by the CDS and CEDE holdings is not known to the Company except for a limited amount of shareholders who have elected to receive annual meeting proxy and other information directly from the Company. We estimate the number of our Unregistered Shareholders from the number of proxy materials requested of the Company by various brokerage houses for distribution to our shareholders at the record date of our most recently held annual general or special shareholders meeting. Unregistered Shareholders hold about 43% of our outstanding common shares.

Geographic Distribution of Shareholders - We estimate the location of Registered Shareholders from the registered certificate addresses provided by our transfer agent. In the case of Unregistered Shareholders, we presume that the shares held by Canadian depository CDS represent Canadian or other Non-US holders and we presume that shares held at CEDE are attributable to USA resident holders although we have no way of knowing these facts as certain. As at the Report Date, based on mailings of proxy materials for our annual general meetings, we estimate that 21% of shares are held by residents located in the USA, another 28% in Canada, and the remaining 51% in other countries.

Control - To the extent known to the Company, the Company is not owned or controlled directly or indirectly by another corporation, or by any foreign government, or by any other natural or legal person severally or jointly, other than disclosed herein.

Change of Control - To the extent known to the Company, there are no arrangements, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

Management Fees - During the fiscal year ended 6/30/17, the Company paid or accrued salary, fees, or other compensation to the Company's officers in the amount of $275,470. At 6/30/17, a total amount of $789,099 was payable to officers of the Company as salary, fees, or other compensation, including expense reimbursements. These amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and are unsecured, non-interest bearing with no specific terms for repayment.





Loans from CEO - During the year ended 6/30/17, the CEO of the Company loaned $26,000 to the Company for assistance with working capital. During Fiscal 2016 he loaned a total of $61,500. As at 6/30/17, the total loan payable to him by the Company amounted to $87,500. This loan is interest free with no fixed repayment terms.

Share Based Award - During the year ended 6/30/16, the Company issued a non-executive director an amount of 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants having an exercise price of $0.01 per share and an expiry date of 12/31/17 as compensation for a $10,000 loan. The Company calculated the Black Scholes fair value of these warrants to be $26,200 which was charged to the statement of loss as share-based payments. During the year ended 6/30/17, the same director provided an additional loan of $3,100 to the Company. As at 6/30/17, the aggregate loan amount to be repaid amounted to $13,100 and is interest free and has no fixed repayment terms.

Joint Development Agreement – On 4/01/17, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the "CHI JDA") with Continental Hilir Indonesia Pte. Ltd.

Significant influence over an enterprise is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the enterprise but is less than control over those policies.

C. INTERESTS OF EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

B. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

a)     

Legal Proceedings - As of the Report Date, the Company knows of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

 

 
b)     

Default on Convertible Note - 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.

 

 
  i)     

On 9/21/11, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The note principal was convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company. Any unpaid interest thereupon is also convertible, at the option of the holder, at the same conversion rate. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 9/22/13, the original maturity date.

   

 
  ii)     

The note originally accumulated interest at a rate of 10% per annum or at 15% per annum in the event of default of payment. On 11/21/12, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that increased the interest rate retroactively to 18%, extended the maturity date to 3/21/13, and reduced the conversion price from $0.08 to $0.05 per share. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $1,000.

   

 
  iii)     

On 5/21/13, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 9/21/13, extended the term of the additional consideration warrants to 3/21/15, and reduced the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.08.This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $1,000 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $16,719.

   

 
  iv)     

On 10/4/13, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 11/15/13. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $8,500.

   

 
  v)     

On 12/12/13, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 1/31/14 and reduced the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.05. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $31,500 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $10,782.

   

 
  vi)     

On 3/31/14, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 4/30/14 and extended the term of the additional consideration warrants to 12/31/15. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $6,000 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $7,031.

   

 
  vii)     

On 7/28/14, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder to extend the maturity date of the promissory note to 9/30/14 without any additional consideration.

   

 
  viii)     

The incremental value of the conversion rights of the note and the additional consideration warrants were calculated using the Black- Scholes model as further discussed in Note 10 to the Company's attached annual audited financial statements.

   

 
c)     

Cease Trade Order Revoked - The British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") issued a cease trade order to the Company on 4/11/2015, for failure to file, by the regulatory deadline, audited annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the





 

fiscal year ended 30/06/15. The order prohibited trading of the Company’s securities in Canada until revoked. The Company completed the audits and filed the last of the statements and reports required to remedy and cure the filing deficiencies on 23/06/17. The Company applied for a revocation order on 7/07/17, and the BCSC revoked the cease trade order on 20/07/17.

 

 
d)     

Dividend Distributions - Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board, in its discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. The Company has not declared any dividends for the last five Fiscal Years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on 5/29/84 under the name "Intl. Focus Res. Inc.". On 1/03/96 the name was changed to "Continental Copper Corporation". On 10/23/97 the name was changed to "Continental Energy Corporation". On 6/23/04, the Company was transitioned under the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia). At an annual general meeting of the shareholders on 1/25/06 the shareholders adopted an amended Articles to conform them to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), enacted in 2004, as it required. At an annual general meeting of the shareholders on 8/04/17 the shareholders amended, restated, and adopted the Company’s current Articles of Association.

Set out below is a summary of various provisions of our Notice of Articles and Articles prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) in respect of:(i) objects and purposes: (ii) directors; (iii) authorized capital; (iv) rights, preference and restrictions attached to our classes of shares; (v) shareholder meetings; and (vi) limitation on rights of non-Canadians; (vii) delay of change of control; and (viii) reporting of share ownership.

Objects and Purposes - Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles contain a limitation on our objects and purposes.

Directors - Our Articles have provisions related to conflicts of interests of directors in certain corporate transactions. A director or senior officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company proposes to enter into, must disclose such interest and is liable to account to the Company for any profit that accrues to the director or senior offer as a result of the transaction if the provisions for disclosure and director approval set out in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) are not complied with. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution approving the contract or transaction, unless all directors have an interest in the contract or transaction. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is entitled to be counted as part of the quorum for the directors’ meeting to consider the contract or transaction. Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), a director does not hold a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction merely because it relates to his/her compensation in his/her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. Our Articles provide that our directors may, without shareholder approval, borrow money upon the credit of our Company, issue and sell bonds or debentures and provide guarantees. Neither our Notice of Articles nor Articles set out a mandatory retirement age for our directors and our directors are not required to own securities of our Company in order to serve as directors.

Authorized Capital - Our Notice of Articles provide that our authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. Our preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and our directors may fix the number of shares which is to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions -Pursuant to our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), holders of our common stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote, receive any dividend declared by our Company's board of directors and, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares, receive the remaining property of our Company upon dissolution. Shares of our preferred stock of each series rank on a parity with our share of preferred stock of any other series and are entitled to a preference over shares of our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. The provisions in our Articles attaching to our common stock and our preference stock may be altered, amended, repealed, suspended or changed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock and two-thirds of the shares of preferred stock, as applicable. With the exception of special resolutions (i.e. resolutions in respect of fundamental changes to our Company, including: the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, an merger or other arrangement or an alteration to our Company's authorized capital) that require the approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders (holding common stock) entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, resolutions to approve matters brought before a meeting of our shareholders require approval by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Shareholder Meetings - The Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides that:(i) meetings of shareholders must be held in British Columbia, unless otherwise provided in a company's Articles; (ii) directors must call an annual general of shareholders not later than 15 months after the last preceding annual general and once in every calendar year;(iii) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or vote at meetings of shareholders, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for that determination, provided that such date shall not precede by more than 50 days or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held; (iv) a quorum of shareholders for a shareholder meeting may be set by the Articles and the Company’s Articles provide that the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is two shareholders, or one or more proxy holder representing two members, or one member and proxy holder representing another member; (v) the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares entitled to vote at a meeting may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition; and (vii) upon the application of a director or shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may order a meeting to be called, held and conducted in a manner that the Court directs.

Limitations on Rights of Non-Canadians - Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common stock under the laws of Canada or British Columbia or in our charter documents. See "Exchange Controls" below in this Annual Report for a discussion of the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadian residents proposing to acquire our common stock.





Delay of Change of Control - Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), at each annual general meeting of our shareholders all of our directors retire and the shareholders appoint a new board of directors. Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting unless:(i) he dies or resigns; (ii) he is removed by ordinary resolution of our shareholders (or class or series of shareholders if such class or series has the exclusive right to elect one or more directors); or (iii) the director becomes disqualified to hold officer, as provided under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board holds office for the unexpired term of his predecessor (generally, until our next annual general meeting).With the exception of provisions in our Articles that limit the number of directors that can be appointed between annual meetings of shareholders and that give our directors the authority to issue blank check preferred stock, there are no provisions in our Notice of Articles or Articles that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving our Company.

Reporting of Share Ownership -Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that we disclose in our annual general meeting proxy statement, holders who beneficially own more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares, and United States Federal securities laws require the disclosure in this Annual Report on Form-20F of holders who own more than five percent of our issued and outstanding shares.

C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Joint Development Agreement – On 4/01/17, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the "CHI JDA") with Continental Hilir Indonesia Pte. Ltd. ("CHI"), a private Singapore company, for the joint development of Small-Scale Refinery Projects in Indonesia. CHI and the Company are related parties and at the Report Date share three common directors. The CHI JDA provides that CHI may earn an 80% participating interest with the Company on realization of any new Small Scale Refinery ("SSR") developments in Indonesia by providing reimbursable cash advances to the Company from time to time and also carrying or paying for the Company's 20% participating interest share of feasibility studies, pre-operations costs, proposal preparation, and presentation costs to local commercial partners and to foreign direct investment and SSR licensing authorities. At the Report Date, the CHI JDA remains in effect.

Consulting and Joint Development Agreement – On 28/02/17, the Company entered into a Consulting and Joint Development Agreement (the "CHMEA JDA") with Continental Hilir MEA (FZE) ("CHMEA"), a private company registered in the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone of the United Arab Emirates, for the joint development of Small-Scale Refinery Projects in the Middle East and Africa. CHMEA and the Company are related parties and at the Report Date share one common director. The CHMEA JDA provides that CHMEA may earn a 50% participating interest with the Company on realization of any new SSR developments in the Middle East and Africa by providing reimbursable cash advances to the Company from time to time and also carrying or paying for the Company's 50% participating interest share of feasibility studies, pre-operations costs, proposal preparation, and presentation costs to local commercial partners and to foreign direct investment and SSR licensing authorities. At the Report Date, the CHMEA JDA remains in effect.

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS.

Except as discussed in ITEM-10.E, "Taxation", the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares. There are no limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.

The Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”), which generally prohibits a reviewable investment by an entity that is not a “Canadian”, as defined, unless after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the Shares by a non-Canadian who is not a “WTO investor” (which includes governments of, or individuals who are nationals of, member states of the World Trade Organization and corporations and other entities which are controlled by them), at a time when the Company was not already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act under three circumstances. First, if it was an investment to acquire control (within the meaning of the Investment Act) and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was C$5 million or more. Second, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that the investment related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity (as prescribed under the Investment Act), regardless of asset value. Third, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that an investment by a non-Canadian could be injurious to national security.

An investment in the Shares by a WTO investor, or by a non-Canadian at a time when the Company was already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2009 is C$312 million.

The usual thresholds for review for direct acquisitions of Canadian businesses (other than acquisitions of cultural businesses) by foreign investors will change as of a date to be determined by the federal cabinet of the Canadian Government. At that time transactions will be reviewable only if the “enterprise value” of the assets of the Canadian business is equal to or greater than (a) C$600 million, in the case of investments made during the first two years after the amendments come into force; (b) C$800 million, in the case of investments made during the third and fourth years after the amendments come into force; and (c) C$1 billion, in the case of investments made between the fifth year after the amendments come into force and December 31 of the sixth year after the amendments come into force. This threshold will thereafter be adjusted on an annual basis.





The Investment Act provides detailed rules to determine if there has been an acquisition of control. For example, a non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the Shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Company not controlled in fact by the acquirer. An acquisition of control for the purposes of the Investment Act could also occur as a result of the acquisition by a non-Canadian of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

E. TAXATION.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - The following summary discusses only the Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of one or more common shares of the Company who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") is a non-resident of Canada who holds common shares as capital property. The summary deals with the provisions of the Tax Act in force on 12/31/99. It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules. It is therefore not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

Dividends - A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/83, 3/28/84, 3/17/95, and 7/29/97 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, is 5%.If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.

Disposition of Common Shares - A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian property" as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada. A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include three quarters of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in Canada. The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct three-quarters of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.

United States Taxation - For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("US Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common shares are capital assets in the hands of the US Taxpayer. For federal income tax purposes, a US Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares. A US Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability.

A domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares. Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.

This is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the US income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

Item - 15 : Controls and Procedures .

A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As required under applicable United States securities regulatory requirements, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures as at Fiscal Year ended 6/30/16 to prevent a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Finance Manager, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 6/30/17.

B. MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued in 1992 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of 6/30/16, based on those criteria.

C. ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010 that provides small public companies with market capitalizations below $75 million a permanent exemption from the Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b) requirement to obtain an audit of internal controls over financial reporting.

D. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting procedures or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management's last evaluation.

E. OUTSOURCED ACCOUNTING AND CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS.

The Company outsources its internal controller and accounting functions under contract dated with AVISAR Chartered Professional Accountants of Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Beginning on that contract date and continuing as of the Report Date, AVISAR prepares financial reports for the Company, including annual and quarterly financial statements. AVISAR is also involved, together with the Company's CEO and CFO, in the preparation of the management discussion and analysis that forms, with the financial statements, a part of each annual or quarterly financial report. These reports are filed on SEDAR in Canada in accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Administrators NI 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. AVISAR also works with the Company's auditors, Davidson & Company LLP and assists them in the completion of their annual audits of the Company's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Directors of
Continental Energy Corporation

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Continental Energy Corporation, which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in deficiency, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Continental Energy Corporation as at June 30, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.





Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements which indicate that Continental Energy Corporation has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. These matters, along with the other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Continental Energy Corporation
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in US Dollars)
30 JUNE 2017

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Continental Energy Corporation (“Continental” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s registered address and records office is 900-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3H1.

The Company has historically been engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties outside North America but has begun diversifying its business into a broader range upstream and downstream oil and gas activities. These include new small-scale, distributed oil refineries and gas-turbine power plant developments fully integrated with smaller and stranded oil and gas production in underserved local markets.

These 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 and has no current source of operating cash flows. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire and develop its projects as well as fund ongoing administration expenses. There are no assurances that sufficient funding will be available.

Management intends to obtain additional funding by issuing common shares 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 raising capital for future expenditures or acquisitions.

These uncertainties indicate the existence of material uncertainty that cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these 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 Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies presented in Note 3 were consistently applied to all periods presented.

The Company’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has approved these financial statements on 15 August 2017.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and presented in United States (“US”) dollars, the functional currency of the Company, except when otherwise indicated.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign Currencies

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. 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”).

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the U.S. dollar.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. In the years when the Company reports a loss, the effect would be anti-dilutive, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

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.

Unit Private Placements

The Company values warrants issued as part of a private placement unit by allocating the proceeds from the issuance 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 closing market price 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 the share-based payment reserve.

Equipment

Equipment is 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 on 50% declining balance basis, for computers and other equipment.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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.

6





Continental Energy Corporation
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in US Dollars)
30 JUNE 2017

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 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 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 Company has no financial assets classified as FVTPL.

  (ii)     

AFS financial assets

Instruments 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. 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 on 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/deficiency.

The Company has no financial assets classified as AFS.

  (iii)     

HTM financial assets

Investments are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, the Company carries the assets at amortized costs less impairment. The Company assesses its intention and ability to hold its held-to-maturity investments to maturity not only when those financial assets are initially recognized, but also at the end of each subsequent reporting period. The Company has no HTM financial assets.

  (iv)     

Loans and receivable

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 and cash 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.

7





Continental Energy Corporation
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in US Dollars)
30 JUNE 2017

  (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; 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 profit or loss.

  (ii)     

Other financial liabilities

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, loans from related parties, advances from joint venture partners, and convertible debt, as other financial liabilities.

  (iii)     

Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

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:

  • 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.

  • 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 comprehensive loss. This amount represents the cumulative loss in accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified to profit or 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 CGU to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

8





Continental Energy Corporation
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in US Dollars)
30 JUNE 2017

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 in profit or loss.

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 in profit or loss.

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 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. Should a compound financial instrument have more than one equity component, transaction costs are allocated to the equity components in proportion to their respective fair values.

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

Income Taxes

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

Deferred taxes are recorded using the liability method. Under the 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 offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

4. 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 it affects both current and future periods.

Critical Accounting Estimates:

Significant estimates relate to, but are not limited to:

Share-based compensation

The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical stock price volatility of comparable companies in a similar stage of life cycle as the Company. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds.

When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of the options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option.

Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

Warrant valuation

The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements and as compensation for financing arrangements. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical stock price volatility of comparable companies in a similar stage of life cycle as the Company. The Company uses historical data to estimate the timing of warrant exercises within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the yields of government bonds. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of certain warrants, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original warrants if the warrants were originally issued as compensation.

Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

Critical Judgments:

Recovery of deferred taxes

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets on the statement of financial position.

5. Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC, that are mandatory for accounting periods on after July 1, 2017. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact on the Company and have been excluded from the summary below.

10





Continental Energy Corporation
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in US Dollars)
30 JUNE 2017

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the following standards, which have not yet been adopted.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

This standard and its consequential amendments will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 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. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9, except that an entity choosing to measure a financial liability at fair value will present the portion of any change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, rather than within profit or loss. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted.

IFRS 2, Share Based Payments

The IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments that address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash settled to equity settled. On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and other criteria are met. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted.

IFRS 16, Leases

This standard and its consequential amendments will replace IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

6. 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 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 and cash advances from its related parties.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of deficiency.

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 arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest any excess cash in highly 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 year ended 30 June 2017.

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 reputable 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 cash and receivables is remote.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings, or ability to obtain equity financing, due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices of oil and gas, individual equity movements, and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

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 June 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $25,158 which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $1,774,630. The Company’s management continues to work on obtaining financing to meet these obligations and also on reaching alternative arrangements with relevant parties.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has a positive cash balance and its debt is either interest free or bears interest at fixed rates. The Company has no significant concentrations of interest rate risk arising from operations.

8. Disposal of Subsidiary

On 4 June 2013, the Company acquired 51% of the shares of Visionaire Energy AS (“Visionaire Energy”), a privately held Norwegian holding company by issuing 20,000,000 of its common shares at a value of $900,000 to Visionaire Invest AS (the “Vendor”).

Pursuant to a sales and purchase agreement dated 15 September 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the Vendor to sell its 51% interest in Visionaire Energy for $200,000 cash and the return of 20,000,000 common shares of the Company. The agreement was subject to the approval of the shareholders which was obtained at the Company’s annual meeting held on 5 December 2014, the effective date of disposal of Visionaire Energy.

Based on the book value of the net assets disposed of on 5 December 2014, the related sales proceeds and the effect of recycling of foreign exchange, the loss on disposal of Visionaire Energy was calculated to be $159,837, as summarized below:

On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. As additional consideration, the Company also issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) to the note holder.

The Company has since entered into multiple arrangements with the note holder for amendment of the terms of the convertible promissory note and the additional consideration warrants. As at 30 June 2017, the promissory note paid interest at 18% per annum and could be converted to the common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share. The additional consideration warrants were exercisable at $0.05 per common share and expired on 31 December 2015 without being exercised.

On 28 July 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder to extend the maturity date of the promissory note from 30 April 2014 to 30 September 2014 without any additional consideration. This amendment resulted in an incremental value of $36,000.

The incremental value of the conversion rights of the note and the additional consideration warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

    Additional
  Conversion Consideration
Fiscal 2015 Rights Warrants
Expected dividend yield Nil -
Expected stock price volatility 87% -
Risk-free interest rate 0.04% -
Expected life (years) 0.18 -

As at June 30, 2017, convertible debt comprised of $250,000 principal, and $260,014 of accrued interest (2016 -$215,014; 2015 - $169,890).

The maturity date of the convertible promissory note was 30 September 2014 and therefore the note is in default as of the date of these financial statements.

13. Income Taxes

The Company is domiciled in Canada and is therefore subject to tax on estimated assessable profit at the rate of 26.00% (2016 – 26.00%). The Company has no assessable profit in Canada.

The tax expense at statutory rates for the Company can be reconciled to the reported income taxes per the statement of loss as follows:

  Year Ended   Year Ended   Year Ended  
  30 June 2017   30 June 2016   30 June 2015  
  $   $   $  
Loss before income taxes (439,606 ) (473,289 ) (956,418 )
Federal and provincial statutory tax rate 26.00 % 26.00 % 26.00 %
Income tax recovery based on the above rates (114,298 ) (123,055 ) (248,669 )
Non-deductible expenses and other 16,998   88,524   459,456  
Expiry of losses -   -   73,454  
Losses and temporary differences for which no            
tax benefit has been recorded 97,300   34,531   (284,241 )
Total income taxes -   -   -  

The Company’s unrecognized deferred tax assets are as follows:

  30 June 2017   30 June 2016   
  $   $  
Non-capital losses 1,900,656   1,799,260  
Capital losses 380,085   381,861  
Resource properties 388,191   390,005  
Capital assets 138,883   139,343  
Share issue costs and other 9,918   9,964  
Total unrecognized deferred tax assets 2,817,733   2,720,433  

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets other than deferred tax assets resulting from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not affect accounting or taxable profit, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

The Company has non-capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $7,310,000 that may be available for tax purposes in Canada as follows:

  • 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.

  • A 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 also affect the size of the Company’s quarterly income (loss).

PART - 8 : LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

As at the end of this Fiscal Year 2017 on 30 June 2017, the Company’s Audited Annual Financial Statements reflect a working capital deficit of $1,721,256 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,282,380 at the end of the prior Fiscal 2016 year.

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 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 30 June 2016.





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

At the end of This Quarter and Fiscal 2017, $789,099 (2016 - $616,967) was payable to the Company's CEO and CFO as salary, fees, or other compensation, including expense reimbursements.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the CEO of the Company loaned $26,000 (2016 - $61,500) to the Company for assistance with working capital. As at 30 June 2017, the total loan payable to him amounted to $87,500. This loan is interest free with no fixed repayment terms.

During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company issued a promissory note in recognition of the receipt of a $10,000 loan from a non-executive director for assistance with working capital. As an incentive for the loan, the Company issued 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants to the lending director with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expiry date of 31 December 2017.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the same director provided an additional loan of $3,100 to the Company. As at 30 June 2017, the aggregate loan amount to be repaid amounted to $13,100 and is interest free and has no fixed repayment terms.

PART - 11 : MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND EVENTS

11 . 1 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At the end of This Quarter, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements not already disclosed elsewhere in this MD&A or in the Audited Annual Financial Statements that are published and filed herewith.

11 . 2 Material Contracts & Commitments

During This Quarter, no new material contracts or commitments were undertaken, not elsewhere disclosed in this MD&A or in the Audited Annual Financial Statements that are published and filed herewith.

11 . 3 Investor Relations, Publicity and Promotion

11 . 4 Financial Advice, New Business Consulting, Finder's Agreements, & Fund Raising

During This Quarter, no material new arrangements, or modifications to existing agreements, were made by the Company for investor relations services, publicity, promotion or advertising agreements which are not otherwise already disclosed in this MD&A or in the Audited Annual Financial Statements that are published and filed herewith.

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 Audited Annual Financial Statements that are published and filed 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. 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 Annual Financial Statements.

PART - 13 : FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments as at the end of This Quarter, 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, 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 and Indonesian Rupiah. 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.
