Notes to editors

Mosman (AIM: MSMN) is an oil exploration, development, and production company
with projects in the US and Australia. Mosman's strategic objectives remain
consistent: to identify opportunities which will provide operating cash flow
and have development upside, in conjunction with progressing exploration of
existing exploration permits. The Company has several projects in the US, in
addition to exploration projects in the Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.

 

Chairman's Letter

 

I am pleased to provide my first report as Chair, following appointment in
October 2023. FY 23 and its subsequent events have certainly been a busy and
important period for Mosman Oil & Gas.

 

Both our board and our operations have materially evolved.  They have done so
around our continuing strategic objective to identify opportunities with
significant upside and actual or potential operating cash flow.  These
opportunities have so far been predominantly in hydrocarbons, hydrogen and
helium within our existing or expanding portfolio in Texas and central
Australia.

 

My first duty as your Chair must be on behalf of all us shareholders, to
acknowledge and thank both my former colleagues on the board.  Our former
Executive Chair John W Barr and our former Non-Executive Director John Young
who both made invaluable and longstanding contributions since the Company's
foundation.  I must also welcome to the Board our new Non-Executive Director
Mr Carl Dumbrell who brings great expertise to our table.

 

Executive Director Andy Carroll, formerly Technical Director, has now stepped
up to become our Chief Executive Officer.  He will be driving the Company
forward supported by myself and Mr Dumbrell both as Non-Executives and our
team of consultants. These include in particular Mr Howard McLauqhlin running
our US operations, Dr Julie Daws our geologist focused on the central
Australia assets, Jarrod White and his team at Traverse (especially Nick
Marshall) providing financial and accounting support.

 

We plan to keep our team rightsized and our costs as low as practicable in
pursuit of our objective of sustainable positive cash flow.

 

You will read ahead of several significant evolutions to our operations during
the year as well.

 

In East Texas we drilled our first well at Cinnabar and expanded our lease
there somewhat, buoyed by a very promising independent reserve report.
Whilst subsequent production has been disappointing our team continues to work
on technical solutions to access those more significant reserves.

 

Our Stanley assets have been responding very well to workovers and in
particular installation of jet pumps. Our Falcon assets were disposed of and
with them any residual liability.

 

The equity market's excitement around hydrogen and helium saw us looking at
various potential paths for the significant prospective resources we have
worked up with our key central Australian assets. This included even
potentially a separate IPO.  Ultimately, however, it was deemed more
effective to farmout, which is yielding us certainty and importantly, no call
on capital for these assets for quite some time.   Mosman will be carried
through the first few years of seismic and technical development as well as
the cost of the first well (up to AUD5.5MM) and then retain a 25% interest in
its EP 145 block near Alice Springs. Its other application block is also
progressing slowly under an earlier farmout.

 

Nigel Harvey

Chair

 

Overview of the 2023 Financial Year

 

Mosman's strategic objective remains to identify opportunities which will
provide operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with
exploration of existing exploration permits and acquiring high potential
projects.

 

The current medium term focus, through wholly owned subsidiary Mosman Oil USA
Inc, is on developing the existing production assets in the USA to deliver
production increases and cash flow.

 

Summary

 

The Company has several active projects in the US in addition to exploration
projects in the Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.

 

In the period there were several notable developments:

 

The Cinnabar project was acquired in 2021 at low cost when oil prices were
lower. Two wells have been producing since the 1980s, with natural decline. 3D
seismic was used to map the field and reservoir engineering modelling
indicated significant remaining oil reserves. The current production rates
need to be increased and technical work is underway to determine the best way
forward.

 

At Stanley, gas lift was successful in increasing rates, but there is limited
gas available. Jet pumps were installed, and after initial teething problems
with sand production, have successfully increased production rates at the
relevant wells. Technical work indicates additional recoverable oil at
Stanley.

 

After shutting production in the year, the Falcon lease was disposed of post
year end, and with it the liability for any potential future abandonment
costs.

 

In the period, sales increased by 24% to $2,252,029 ($1,812,119 in 2022).
Gross profit decreased by to $674,665 ($695,096 in 2022). The financial
results were supported by increased ownership of projects, stronger commodity
prices and the establishment of a broader production base, including the
Cinnabar wells.

 

In Australia's Northern Territory, Mosman recently published a new Prospective
Resource estimate over the EP 145 lease, saw the license extended to August
2024, and post period end, signed a farmin agreement with a subsidiary of
Greenvale Energy Ltd to fund seismic and drilling. Upon completion, Mosman
will retain a 25% working interest in EP 145

 

As shareholders and stakeholders expect, Mosman continues to take its Health
and Safety requirements very seriously and to date there have been no health,
safety or wellbeing issues reported in our small team.

 

Given the operational progress both during the year and after the reporting
period, the Board looks forward with great optimism given these achievements
and the growth opportunities available to it.

 

USA

 

Net Production attributable to Mosman in the year to 30 June 2023 was 31,067
boe, compared to 37,915 boe in 2022.

 

 

                   Gross Project Production(2)  Net Production to Mosman(3)

                   BOE(1)                       BOE(1)

 Total Production  86,933                       31,067

 

(1)BOE/boe - barrels of oil equivalent

(2)Gross Project Production - Means the production of BOE at a total project
level (100% basis) before royalties (where Mosman is the Operator) and where
Mosman is not the operator the total gross production for the project

(3)Net Production - Net to Mosman's Working Interest; Net Production
attributable to Mosman means net to Mosman's Working Interest before royalties

 

 

The decrease in net production was primarily due to production halting at
Falcon, which was somewhat offset by increased production at Stanley and new
production at Cinnabar.

 

Cinnabar (75% working interest)

 

A well was drilled in November 2022, with Mosman farming out 25% WI, and a
"turnkey" drilling contract was used to reduce cost exposure. The well was
successfully drilled to target depth. Electric logs and a third party report
indicated multiple oil reservoirs had been penetrated. There was a delay
waiting for the third party cement crew and equipment, during which time there
was "lost circulation" whereby fluid was pumped in to the well to keep it
full, but not all of that fluid returned to surface. This may have damaged the
reservoirs and contributed to subsequent production problems.

 

The well was put on production in late December, and initially produced over
100 bopd of oil and emulsion. Over time, the oil production declined and the
water rate increased to the point where the well did not flow. Production logs
were run and indicated the water was coming from one zone, and oil from
another. A workover was performed to seal off that zone and flow another zone.
Despite the production log, after the workover that zone will only flow
intermittently (ie the well is shut in, pressure builds, the well is flowed,
pressure drops and flow ceases).

 

The older wells have been worked-over and now flow at higher rates, albeit
intermittently. This result suggests the reservoir pressure is not sufficient
to maintain flow, and artificial lift is required (as is common in wells
onshore USA). Technical work is underway to determine the best type of
artificial lift for this field.

Stanley (34.85% to 38.5% Working Interests)

 

Overall production at Stanley declined in the year but is now increasing
primarily due to the installation and operation of jet pumps.

 

Livingston (20% Working Interest) and Greater Stanley (40% Working Interest)

 

These projects are of strategic importance and form part of the longer-term
planning.

 

Arkoma (27% Working Interest)

 

Production has increased in FY2023, since the recovery from a significant
lightning strike in March 2022. This asset has value when gas prices are high,
due to the gas compression and transport costs.

 

Winters-2 (23% Working Interest)

 

Winters-2 continues to produce at rates exhibiting natural decline.

Falcon

 

The Falcon-1 well stopped producing in the June 2022 quarter and the
subsequent attempted workovers were not successful. As a result, the well was
shut-in for the full 2023 financial year. Subsequent to year-end, given the
lower gas prices, Mosman determined not to invest additional resources in this
project and reached an agreement to transfer the Falcon lease to 84 Energy
Corp in exchange for the equipment on the lease. This means Mosman is not
liable for potential future abandonment costs which were estimated to be up to
US$200,000.

 

In addition, the adjacent undeveloped Galaxie exploration lease has not been
renewed and has expired with no liabilities.

 

AUSTRALIA

 

Mosman has continued to conduct technical work on its Central Australian
exploration projects, focused on the 100% owned EP 145, in the Amadeus Basin,
Northern Territory.

 

An airborne gravity and gradiometry survey was completed in 2022 and provided
a wealth of new information that is critical to ongoing work. That survey is a
significant step in the exploration programme for EP 145 and is the first time
that such data has been acquired for the whole 818 sq/km of the permit area.

 

This led to a new Prospective Resource estimate by Mosman as detailed below.

 

Based on a report by the Geognostics Australia Pty Ltd dated October 2022, and
data from other wells in the Amadeus basin, Mosman has estimated gross
Prospective Resource volumes for hydrocarbons, helium, and hydrogen associated
with the Walker Creek Anticline as a lead within the boundaries of the EP 145
permit using a deterministic approach and applying the SPE PRMS standard.

 

 Prospective Resources (Bcf)  Low Estimate  Best Estimate  High Estimate
 Total gas                    12            440            2,290
 Helium                       0.3           26.4           229
 Hydrogen                     0.24          26.4           275

The ongoing exploration work programme on EP 145 is to acquire seismic prior
to drilling an exploration well. Mosman has applied for the required
regulatory and CLC approvals. The CLC has conducted a site survey and has
approved land access approval for seismic acquisition.

 

Once all approvals are obtained, the next step is the acquisition and
interpretation of 2D seismic in the current permit year (expiring August
2024), prior to identifying a drilling location and drilling an exploration
well.

 

Mosman successfully applied for a grant to undertake a soil gas sampling
program targeting hydrogen and helium. The grant was awarded by the Northern
Territories Government as part of the Geophysics and Collaborations program.
Soil gas sampling is a non-invasive, rapid and relatively inexpensive
technology to identify the presence of natural hydrogen and helium and
provides a preliminary test to determine if these gases are present in the
permit. Soil gas sampling for hydrogen is a relatively new technique and only
a small number of companies globally have the equipment to undertake these
studies. After evaluation, CSIRO are the preferred supplier offering reliable
equipment and a relatively quick project turn around and Mosman is currently
discussing timing for a survey. Given the remote location and extreme weather
in the Northern Territory, collection of data is also restricted to the cooler
months (April-October) for safety reasons.  Mosman anticipates that it will
be able to conduct a survey once all access approvals are met and equipment is
available.

Subsequent to the end of the Financial Year, Mosman announced the funding of
seismic and drilling by farmout to ASX listed Greenvale Mining Ltd. Subject to
completion including government approvals, Mosman will retain 25% and
Greenvale will earn 75% of the permit.

 

Mosman's other central Australian project is EPA-155. This permit is subject
to a farmout with the next step being completion of Native Title negotiations.

CORPORATE

 

Financial Report

 

Overall, in the year to 30 June 2023, the Company made a loss of $2,127,198
(2022: $2,446,276) after impairments of $474,586 (2022: $1,606,816).

 

Revenue increased to $2,252,029 (2022: $1,812,119) as higher value oil
production replaced lower value gas production.

 

Gross Profit decreased to $674,665 (2022: $695,096), primarily due to lower
gas prices.

 

Of significance, some $2,567,643 (2022: $1,588,036) was spent on investing
activities on assets in the portfolio during the year in support of the
Group's growth strategy.

 

Asset value increase to $8,669,676 (2022: $8,602,400).

 

The net proceeds of fundraising activities during the year were $1,931,908
(2022: $2,043,051).

 

The Board continues to focus on achieving a cash flow positive position at a
Company level. Given the current financial position, the results of recent
drilling and the ongoing focus to control costs, this is now becoming an
increasingly achievable objective.

 

Overhead costs continue to be tightly controlled. Mosman continues to operate
with a very small number of Employees and Consultants. The Company operates in
three countries and in four-time zones, and the role played by the Employees
and Consultants is vital in achieving Mosman's strategic objective.
Accordingly, I again express my profound gratitude for everyone's efforts in
the year.

 

Outlook

 

Whilst 2023 has been challenging, we have also made considerable progress.
Mosman remains resolute in identifying opportunities which will provide
operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with
exploration of existing exploration permits, whilst also being in a position
to evaluate further acquisition targets.

 

 

The team is building a strong foundation from which we plan to scale up the
business and grow by taking advantage of organic production opportunities in
the year ahead.

 

We acknowledge it has been a turbulent period for shareholders and would like
to take this opportunity to thank them for their continued support whilst
reassuring them of our confidence of achieving growth in both production and
value for the business.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 June 2023

All amounts are Australian Dollars

 

1       Statement of Accounting Policies

 

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (or "the Company'') and Controlled Entities
("Consolidated entity" or "Group"), are stated to assist in a general
understanding of the financial report. These policies have been consistently
applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Mosman Oil and Gas Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and
domiciled in Australia.

 

(a)    Basis of Preparation

 

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and
does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated,
current valuations of non-current assets.

 

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. As at
30 June 2023, the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $2,127,198 during
the year ended 30 June 2023 and, as of that date, the group had a cash balance
of $520,613.

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which
contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of
assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

In arriving at this position, the Directors have had regard to the fact that
the Group has, or in the directors' opinion will have access to, sufficient
cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of
not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

In forming this view the directors have taken into consideration the
following:

•             The ability of the Group to obtain funding through
various sources, including equity raised which are currently being
investigated by management;

•             The Group has the capacity, if necessary, to
reduce its operating cost structure in order to minimize its working capital
requirements; and

•             The Directors have reasonable expectations that
they will be able to raise additional funding needed for the Group to continue
to execute against its milestones in the medium term.

Should the company or the group not able to achieve matters set out above,
there is a significant uncertainty related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the company and the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 8 November
2023.

 

(b)    Principles of Consolidation and Equity Accounting

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and
results of entities controlled by Mosman Oil and Gas Limited at the end of the
reporting period.  A controlled entity is any entity over which Mosman Oil
and Gas Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and
operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities.

 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the
financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the
year that they were controlled.  Details of Controlled and Associated
entities are contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances
and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been
eliminated in full on consolidation.

Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are
classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification
depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather
than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Mosman Oil and Gas Limited
has a working interest in various joint operations.

 

Joint ventures

 

Joint operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain
direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the
arrangement. The Group's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the
financial statements.

 

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see
below), after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated balance
sheet.

 

Equity method

 

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially
recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group's share of
the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and
the group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee
in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from
associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying
amount of the investment.

 

When the group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or
exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term
receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

 

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates and
joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in these
entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting
policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

 

The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment
in accordance with the policy described in note 1(q).

 

(c)    Use of Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  Estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is
revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

 

Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

 

The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets, is
dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or
alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets.

 

Impairment tests are carried out when there are indicators of impairment in
order to identify whether the asset carrying values exceed their recoverable
amounts. There is significant estimation and judgement in determining the
inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts.

 

 

 

The key areas of judgement and estimation include:

 

·      Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;

·      Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;

·      Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the
operations and carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Taxation

 

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes related to
taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors and take into account
the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current
income tax legislation, and the directors understanding thereof.  No
adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation.  The
current tax position represents the best estimate, pending assessment by the
tax authorities.

 

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

 

The accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in
expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered
likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the
activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of
the existence of reserves.

 

This policy requires management to make certain estimates as to future events
and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new
information becomes available.  If, after having capitalised the expenditure
under the policy, a judgement is made that the recovery of the expenditure is
unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and
loss.

 

(d)    Income Tax

 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are
measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities.  The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance
sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences.

 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilised;

 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance
sheet date reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient
taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income
tax asset to be utilised.

 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet
date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that
are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted
or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

 

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in
equity and not in the income statement.

 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current tax liabilities and the deferred
tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

 

 

 

 

(e)                   Goods and Services Tax

 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

 

(i)    Where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not
recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset, or as part of the expense
item as applicable;

 

(ii)   Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included;

 

(iii)  The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of
Financial Position;

 

(iv)  Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis
and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing
activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority,
are classified as operating cash flows; and

 

 

 

(v)   Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

 

(f)     Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.  In the
event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the
estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in
profit or loss, or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate
to a revalued asset.  A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when
impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(q) for details of
impairment).

 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors
to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The
recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows
that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The
expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in
determining recoverable amounts.

 

(g)    Depreciation

 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from
the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or
the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

 

(h)       Exploration and Evaluation Assets

 

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in
respect of each identifiable area of interest and is subject to impairment
testing.  These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of
interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:

 

·      Such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful
development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its
sale; or

·      Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not
reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence, or
otherwise, of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant
operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest is continuing.

 

In the event that an area of interest is abandoned accumulated costs carried
forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made.  A
regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the
appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area
of interest.

 

Where a resource has been identified and where it is expected that future
expenditures will be recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment
of the exploration and evaluation is written back and transferred to
development costs.  Once production commences, the accumulated costs for the
relevant

 

area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate
of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

 

Costs of site restoration and rehabilitation are recognised when the Company
has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is
probable, and the amount of the provision can be reliably estimated.

 

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into
account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a
provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present
obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if facts and
circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are
allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates.
The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.

 

(i)     Accounts Payable

 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the
Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid.  The
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

 

(j)     Contributed Equity

 

            Issued Capital

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share
options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income
tax benefit.

 

(k)    Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated based upon the net loss
divided by the weighted average number of shares.  Diluted EPS are calculated
as the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive
potential shares.

 

(l)                    Share-Based Payment Transactions

 

The Group provides benefits to Directors, KMP and consultants of the Group in
the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees and
consultants render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares
("equity settled") transactions.

 

The value of equity settled securities is recognised, together with a
corresponding increase in equity.

 

Where the Group acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or
an exploration area of interest and the consideration comprises share-based
payment transactions, the fair value of the assets acquired are measured at
grant date.  The value is recognised within capitalised mineral exploration
and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding increase in equity.

 

(m)   Comparative Figures

 

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted
to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

 

(n)      Financial Risk Management

 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and
oversight of the risk management framework, to identify and analyse the risks
faced by the Group.  These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk from the use of financial instruments.  The Group has only
limited use of financial instruments through its cash holdings being invested
in short term interest bearing securities.  The Group has no debt, and
working capital is maintained at its highest level possible and regularly
reviewed by the full board.

 

 

(o)       Financial Instruments

 

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and
are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except
for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured
initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and
financial liabilities are described below.

 

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and
substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability
is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

 

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 9,
all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs (where applicable).

 

Hybrid contracts

If a hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset, the policies
applicable to financial assets are applied consistently to the entire
contract.

 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those
designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the
following categories upon initial recognition:

·      financial assets at amortised cost

·      financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

·      debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI)

·      equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI)

 

Classifications are determined by both:

·      the entity's business model for managing the financial asset

·      the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

 

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in
profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other
financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented
within other expenses.

 

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the
following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

·      they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold
the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows

·      the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of
discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and
most other receivables fall into this category of financial.

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets that are held within a business model other than 'hold to
collect' or 'hold to collect and sell' are categorised at fair value through
profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model, financial assets
whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest
are accounted for at FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this
category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments,
for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.

 

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)

Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of
principal and interest and held within a business model of collecting the
contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted for at FVOCI. Any
gains or losses recognised in OCI will be recycled upon derecognition of the
asset.

 

 

 

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity
FVOCI)

Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible
for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under this
category, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other
comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend
income is taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents
return of capital.

 

Impairment of Financial assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial
assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the
Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the
financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial
recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is
available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk
since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is
estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit
losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the
next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it
is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance
is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of
expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability
weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the
instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

 

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive
income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other
cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a
corresponding expense through profit or loss.

 

(p)       Oil and gas assets

 

The cost of oil and gas producing assets and capitalised expenditure on oil
and gas assets under development are accounted for separately and are stated
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Costs include
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition or construction
of the item as well as past exploration and evaluation costs.

 

When an oil and gas asset commences production, costs carried forward are
amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the economically
recoverable reserves. Changes in factors such as estimates of economically
recoverable reserves that affect amortisation calculations do not give rise to
prior financial period adjustments and are dealt with on a prospective basis.

 

(q)    Impairment of Assets

 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have
been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value
in use, is

 

compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying
value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite lives.

 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual
asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating until
to which the asset belongs.

 

(r)        Employee Entitlements

 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee
entitlements expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are
recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the
reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled.  Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are
recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

 

Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as
the contributions are paid or become payable.

 

 

 

 

 

(r)       Provisions

 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive
obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be the result and that outlay can be
reliably measured.

 

(s)       Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with
banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of
3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

 

(t)       Revenue and Other Income

 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances,
rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

 

The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably
measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity
and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as
described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking
into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the
specifics of each arrangement.

 

Revenue from Joint Operations is recognised based on its share of the sale by
joint operation.

 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method,
which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the
instrument.

 

(u)      Business combinations

 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business
combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are
acquired.

 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values
of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred
by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the
non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or
at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All
acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.

 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the
financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms,
economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting
policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.

 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity
remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the
acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the
previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at
the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the
contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in
profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any
pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the
consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the
fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase
to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or
loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of
the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the
non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration
transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the
acquirer.

 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The
acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also
recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period,
based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that
existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the
earlier of (i) 12 months from the

 

date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information
possible to determine fair value.

 

(v)      Acquisition of Subsidiary Not Deemed a Business Combination

 

When an acquisition of assets does not constitute a business combination, the
assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative
fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in
relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial
exemption for deferred tax under AASB 12 applies. No goodwill will arise on
the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in
the capitalised cost of the asset.

 

(w)     Foreign Currency Translation

 

Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group's operations are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it
operates ('the functional currency').

 

 

The functional currency of the Company and controlled entities registered in
Australia is Australian dollars (AU$).

 

The functional currency of the controlled entities registered in the US is
United States dollars (US$).

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency
using the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from settling foreign currency
transactions, as well as from restating foreign currency denominated monetary
assets and liabilities, are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are
deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges or where
they relate to differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge
against a net investment in a foreign entity.

 

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

 

Presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the
Group's presentation currency.

Functional currency balances are translated into the presentation currency
using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Value differences arising
from movements in the exchange rate is recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.

 

(x)        Joint operations

 

A joint arrangement in which the Group has direct rights to underlying assets
and obligations for underlying liabilities is classified as a joint operation.

 

Interests in joint operations are accounted for by recognising the Group's
assets (including its share of any assets held jointly), its liabilities
(including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue from
the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation, its
share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation and
its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly).

 

(y)        New standards and interpretations

 

Account Standard and Interpretation

 

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB')
that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

 5      Income Tax

 No income tax is payable by the Group as it has incurred losses for income tax
 purposes for the year, therefore current tax, deferred tax and tax expense is
 $NIL (2022 - $NIL).

20    Segment Information

 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports
that are reviewed and used by the board to make decisions about resources to
be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

 

Operating segments are identified by the board based on the Oil and Gas
projects in Australia and the USA (and previously New Zealand until 2019).
Discrete financial information about each project is reported to the board on
a regular basis.

 

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined
by the similarity of the economic characteristics, the nature of the
activities and the regulatory environment in which those segments operate.

 

The Group has two reportable segments based on the geographical areas of the
mineral resource and exploration activities in Australia and the USA.
Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that
are not core to the reportable segments.

(ii)       Credit Risk

 

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or
other security, at balance date, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions
for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the balance sheet and in the notes to the
financial statements. The Company does not have any material credit risk
exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors, under financial instruments
entered into by it.

 

(iii) Commodity Price Risk and Liquidity Risk

 

At the present state of the Company's operations it has minimal commodity
price risk and limited liquidity risk due to the level of payables and cash
reserves held.  The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between
continuity of exploration funding and flexibility through the use of available
cash reserves.

 

(iv) Net Fair Values

 

For assets and other liabilities, the net fair value approximates their
carrying value.  No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily
traded on organised markets in standardised form.  The Company has no
financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance
date.

 

The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and
financial liabilities are disclosed in the balance sheet and in the notes to
the financial statements.

 

25     Contingent Liabilities

 

            There were no material contingent liabilities not
provided for in the financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2023.
