Executive Chairman's Review of Operations

KEY POINTS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDING 30 JUNE 2016

  • Group EBITDAX $1.4 million (30 June 2015: $2.2 million).

  • After tax profit was $13.6 million (after write-back of previously impaired assets plus the addition of new assets).

  • Production 1,109 Boe/d (30 June 2015:1,151 Boe/d).

  • 2P PV10 59% higher at $70.8mm (compared to 2015 report at $44.5mm).

  • 2P reserves 8% higher at 13.7 MMBoe (compared to 2015 report at 12.7MMBoe).

  • McArthur Basin Prospective Resource increased P(50)* of 2,068 MMBoe.

  • Cash flow positive at current oil and gas prices

  • Net tangible assets per share $0.10 (30 June 2015: $0.13)

* "Prospective Resource"- is the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Valuation of assets

At December 31, 2015 due to prevailing oil and gas prices and production environment, it was determined that a majority of undeveloped locations were uneconomic at the time. At June 30, 2016, with an improved production environment for both oil and gas, slightly improved prices, the addition of new reserves through updated seismic and additional leases, a newly engineered water flood program and a review of behind pipe opportunities, the Company undertook a review of reserves at the half year. 2P reserves increased by 1.0MMBoe to 13.7MMBoe and the PV10 for 2P reserves increased by 59% to $70.8 million. This led to a non- cash write-back of approximately $20.6 million against the December 31, 2015 asset impairment charge of

$22.2 million.
