The study was undertaken by Robert S. Lee (P.E.) of Lee Engineering in Midland, Texas. This represents a 620% increase in 3P Reserves over the 2015 update with the 2016 study also upgrading previous Probable and Possible Reserves into the Proven Category.
Recent horizontal drilling in the region provided new analog production data that, for the first time, allowed an assessment of (horizontal) Proved Undeveloped reserves in our leases. It also recognised the Proved reserves existing behind pipe in the Fairway wells. The Company has issued a separate release containing additional information regarding the Reserves Report.

Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 June 2016 -
Divestment Program
Earlier in the year Target Energy Limited engaged global investment bank Canaccord Genuity ("Canaccord") as adviser to the divestment of the Fairway Project ("Fairway") in the Permian Basin, Texas.
The Operator of the Fairway project has since commenced a divestment program of additional leases and wells, some of which are near to or contiguous with Fairway leases. While Target does not hold any interests in these additional properties, it has agreed to their inclusion in a combined package, which improves the overall marketability of both sets of properties. Marketing of the combined package by Canaccord is presently underway with bids expected in August.

Drilling / Workovers
No new drilling operations were undertaken in the Quarter. Workovers were undertaken at wells in the Darwin and BOA leases.
- Sydney Wells
As previously advised, following payout Apache Energy exercised its rights as a non‐drilling co‐ tenant to back‐in to the Sydney #1 and #2 wells. During the reporting period the Operator further advised the partners of retrospective adjustments to revenues and costs due to the change in interests in the Sydney wells. The adjustment was for US$242,000.

Legal
Legal action by Target subsidiary TELA Garwood LP ("TELA Garwood") continues against Victory Energy Corporation and Aurora Energy Partners ("Victory", "Aurora"). TELA Garwood's suit charges that Aurora, acting by and through its general partner, Victory, breached its obligation to purchase certain of TELA Garwood's interests in the West Texas Fairway Project (Howard and Glasscock counties) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between TELA Garwood and Aurora dated June 30, 2014.
The court had previously ruled that the Victory's individual officers and directors should be dismissed from the lawsuit ‐ TELA Garwood's motion for reconsideration on this limited issue was denied in July. A trial date is presently set for mid‐August 2016.
- Cash Position
As previously advised, the Company has convertible notes on issue totalling approximately
$8.971 million which mature on 31 March 2017. Noteholders representing approximately 72% of these notes have agreed to assist the Company by deferring the requirement to pay interest on the notes thereby alleviating the Company's expenditure requirements.
The Company has also reduced corporate overheads to a minimum level whilst the sale process is underway. Amongst other cost reductions, the Managing Director has agreed to a 60% reduction in his fees and the other directors have agreed to defer any fees owed to them for the time being.
Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 June 2016The Company has appointed Canaccord Genuity as adviser to the divestment of the balance of Fairway. Canaccord is working with Target and its partners to market Fairway and negotiate with counterparties. The assets are now being jointly marketed with a larger parcel of properties. Bids are expected in August.
The Company had cash resources at 30 June 2016 of $87,000. This balance included $80,000 loaned to the Company by directors , with a further $65,000 advanced subsequent to quarter end. These director loans are to be secured by a second‐ranking lien (equal with existing 2nd Tranche Convertible Note‐holders) in the Fairway asset.
At this time the most likely source of additional funding remains the sale of the Company's remaining interests in Fairway. If a favourable outcome from the sale process cannot be achieved in the short term, the Company will be required to seek additional financing and/or seek to restructure the existing convertible notes. There is no certainty that either an additional financing or a restructuring of the existing convertible notes would be successful, should they become necessary.
