acquisition and investment opportunities to provide future growth and value
for the Company and its shareholders. In addition, the Company's efforts were
aimed at resolving matters in relation to its legacy assets and transactions.

Dividends

The loss for the financial half-year ended 31 December 2022 amounted to

At 31 December 2022, the Group had net assets of -US$6,494,111 (30 June 2022:

Operational and Corporate Review

New acquisition opportunities

The Company's key focus remains on securing new attractive acquisition
opportunities to provide future growth and value for the Company and its
shareholders. During the previous 12 months, the Company had reviewed a few
new projects and investment opportunities.

Currently, discussions are ongoing with several parties in relation to new
projects in the energy sector. The directors are confident that these
discussions will eventuate in securing a new project for the Company on
attractive terms.

Oilfield services business

During the half-year, the Company took necessary steps to further cut the
ongoing costs of its oilfield services business in Trinidad ("Range Resources
Drilling Services Limited" or "RRDSL").

Termination of Conditional fee agreement

The Company reached a conditional fee agreement (the "CFA") with Dentons UK
and Middle East LLP ("Dentons") in the 2021 financial year based on a no-win
no-fee business model to recover the outstanding sums due from LandOcean
through arbitration proceedings in the London Court of International
Arbitration ("LCIA").

The Company further announced on 22 August and 18 October 2022 that LCIA
issued a consent award in relation to two of the four Stage 1 Claims in which
LandOcean is required to make payment of US$301,265 to Star Phoenix, and a
partial payment of US$130,000 has been received in a trust account set up by
Dentons. Regrettably, on 2 December 2022, the Company received a notice
letter written by Dentons to terminate the CFA with immediate effect, citing
mainly a broken-down relationship of trust between the two parties.

The Company does not agree with the assertions in relation to the termination
of CFA. The Company will endeavour to minimize the cost impact by sourcing a
new legal representative based on a cost effective basis. The Company takes
the matter very seriously and will review possible remedies  for any damage
on company reputation and /or financial loss from inaction of CFA.

Result of special general meeting

On 19 December 2022, the Board announced that the Company would not be in a
position to appoint its new intended auditor because the resolutions (Removal
of Auditor and Appointment of Auditor) were not passed in the General Meeting
held on 19 December 2022.

As a result of the new auditor not being appointed, the Company was not able
to publish its audited results for the year ended 30 June 2022 by 31
December 2022 as required under Aim rule 19 of the Aim rules for Companies.
Consequently the shares of the Company was suspended from trading 7.30am on 3
January 2023.

The Company planed another vote of shareholders in early 2023 to have the
necessary resolutions passed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting
period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial
Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

 

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the
type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these
financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for
the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by the company
during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous
disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

 

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the
previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless
otherwise stated.

 

New and amended accounting standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity 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. Any new or
amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory
have not been early adopted.

Going concern

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

For the period ended 31 December 2022 the Group recorded a loss of US$53,190
(loss for half- year ended 31 December 2021: US$124,732).

As at the reporting date (31 March 2023), the company had a cash balance of
approximately US$450,000.  Management believes there are sufficient funds to
meet the Group's working capital requirements for the next 5 months. The
ability of the Group to continue as a going concern beyond that timeframe is
dependent on securing additional funding through the issue of shares and/or
debt to fund its activities. The Company is currently seeking other
opportunities to further expand its operations in other geographic locations.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant
doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore,
it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the
normal course of business.

The Company is currently seeking other opportunities to expand its operations
in other geographic locations and a successful investment in a new project may
be used to raise additional capital and subsequently generate positive cash
flows. The Company is also focusing on managing its existing cash reserves.

.

Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be
required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the
ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in
the financial statements. The financial report does not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not
continue as a going concern.

 

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis,
which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the
realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business.

 

Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be
required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the
ordinary course of business and at amounts that differ from those stated in
the financial statements. The financial report does not include any
adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or
liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going
concern.

 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount
will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use.  They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell.  For non-current assets to be classified as
held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present
condition and their sale must be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of
the non-current assets to fair value less costs to sell.  A gain is
recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of a
non-current asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss
previously recognised.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified
as held for sale.  Interest and other expenses attributable to the
liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately on the
face of the consolidated statement of financial position, in current assets.
The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented
separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current
liabilities.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the
operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest
of the Group and which:

·      represents a separate major line of business or geographical area
of operations;

·      is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate
major line of business or geographical area of operations; and

·      is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal
or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is
re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the
comparative year.

 

Note 2: Significant estimates and judgements

Impairment of rigs and related inventory

The Directors did not deem necessary to undertake an impairment assessment
during the reporting period as per AASB 136. The basis of the recoverable
value remains the same and the Company continues the sale process of the
remaining three production and five drilling rigs.

 

Deferred tax liability

The carrying value of the deferred tax liability is US$691,974 at 31 December
2022. In the event that the manner by which the carrying value of these assets
is recovered differs from that which is assumed for the purpose of this
estimation, the associated tax charges may be significantly less than this
amount.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be

available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Management
considers that it

is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those
temporary differences. Judgement is required to determine the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and
the level of future profits.

 

IFRIC 23 Uncertain tax position and tax-related contingency

The group has estimated that following the disposal of Range Resources
Trinidad Limited and the settlement of liabilities in multiple jurisdictions
which formed part of the consideration for the disposal, may give rise to the
possible payment of withholding tax.  The group considers it possible that a
withholding tax liability of US$1,341,649 may be payable in Australia and
withholding tax liability of US$3,087,883 payable in Trinidad. As at 31
December 2022, both amounts have been provided for in full.

 

The group is intending to apply for private rulings in both Australia and
Trinidad to confirm its interpretation. If both rulings are favourable, this
would decrease the group's current withholding tax payable and expense by
US$3,107,646 respectively. The group expects to get a response, and therefore
certainty about the tax position, before the next reporting date.

Contingent liabilities

The Directors are of the opinion that no provision is required to be raised in
respect to any

of the matters disclosed in note 5 as the likely outcome of any outflow is
considered to

be remote.

 

 

 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

 

2022 and 2021: Rigs and related inventory

The Group has been marketing the rigs and equipment in the financial year,
therefore all rigs and related equipment were classified as held for sale
assets as it is highly probable that these assets will be sold within 12
months.

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments
and include any joint revenue and expenses where a reasonable basis of
allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and
consist principally of cash, receivables, plant and equipment and exploration
and development expenditure. While most assets can be directly attributed to
individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two
or more segments is allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment
liabilities consist principally of payables, employee benefits, accrued
expenses, provisions and borrowings.
