Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, accounts receivable and accounts payable.  The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their short-term maturity or capacity of prompt liquidation.  Except as noted below, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments.


The Company is exposed to currency risk in that some of its subsidiary operations are transacted in Indonesian Rupiah.  The U.S. dollar value of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary denominated in Rupiah will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange.  The Company does not use any hedging instruments to reduce its foreign currency exposure.

Resource Property Costs Continued


a)

Bengara and Yapen


By separate share purchase and transfer agreements (“SPTA”) with effective dates of 1 August 1998 and subsequent amendments between 30 September 1998 and 19 January 2000, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bengara and Yapen, two British Virgin Island companies with oil and gas exploration activities in Indonesia.  The Company accounted for the acquisition of the subsidiaries using the purchase method of accounting for a business combination. Included in the Company’s statement of operations are the results of operations of both subsidiaries from the date of acquisition to 29 September 2006 for Bengara (Note 4avi) and up to 26 October 2005 for Yapen (Note 4av).


Bengara


Bengara was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 9 September 1997 and on 4 December 1997 entered into a production-sharing contract (“PSC”) with Badan Pelaksanaan Minyak dan Gas Bumi (“BPMIGAS”), the Oil & Gas Governing Authority (formerly, PT Pertamina (Pesero) (“Pertamina”), the Indonesian government’s state owned oil and gas enterprise).  The Bengara-II PSC grants Bengara the exclusive authority, for a term of 30 years, to conduct petroleum exploration, development and production operations in an area of approximately 3,650 square kilometers known as the Bengara II Block area, East Kalimantan.  


Pursuant to the Bengara-II PSC as currently amended, Bengara undertook a cumulative expenditure commitment through the initial ten year PSC exploration period ending 4 December 2007 which totals $25,000,000, of which approximately $6,300,000 has been spent as of 29 September 2006.  


The Company’s activities within the Bengara-II PSC contract area are currently in the exploration stage and no crude oil or natural gas revenues are being generated within the contract area. The Company considers the Bengara-II PSC contract area to be a promising oil, gas and condensate exploration area but to date has not identified any resource. Bengara owns an undivided 100% controlling interest in the Bengara-II PSC.


Due to exploration risk and the overall uncertainty of drilling results on exploration properties the Company determined that the recoverability of the costs associated with Bengara to which Bengara is entitled under the PSC upon commencement of oil or gas production is uncertain, consequently the Company wrote down the carrying value of the Bengara-II PSC property to $1 in the fiscal year ended 31 July 2003.  The Company continues to evaluate expenditures for impairment and writes off impaired costs in the period when such determinations are made.


On 29 September 2006, the Company entered into a farm-out agreement that reduced its interest in Bengara to 18% (Note 4avi).


Yapen


Yapen was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 8 January 1998 for the purpose of holding the Yapen PSC with BPMIGAS, which was signed on 27 September 1999.  Prior to its farm-out agreement with Medco (Note 4aii), Yapen owned a 100% controlling interest in the PSC. However, as a result of the Medco farm-out agreement and Medco's subsequent farm out to Maraja (Note 4aiv), Yapen retained only a 10% interest in the Yapen PSC.  On 15 August 2005, Yapen reacquired a 75% interest (Note 4aiv).  During the 2005 fiscal year, the Company sold its interest in the Yapen subsidiary (Note 4av).

Bengara and Yapen Continued


Yapen Continued


Due to exploration risk and the overall uncertainty of drilling results on exploration properties the Company determined that the recoverability of the costs associated with Yapen to which Yapen is entitled under the PSC upon commencement of oil or gas production is uncertain, consequently the Company wrote down the book value of the Yapen PSC property to $1 in the fiscal year ended 31 July 2003.


Since entering into the Bengara and Yapen PCSs, the Company or the Bengara and Yapen subsidiaries have entered into several farm-out agreements with various joint venture partners.  As part of the agreements, the joint venture partners are required to pay their share of incurred costs such that the interests in the properties are retained.  


Bengara and Yapen Farm-Outs


i)

GeoPetro Resources Company (“GeoPetro”) - Yapen and Bengara Farm-Out


The Company and GeoPetro of San Francisco, California entered into a Farm-Out Agreement (“FOA”) dated 1 January 2000 pursuant to which the Company farmed out 40% of its 100% interest in each of the Yapen and Bengara subsidiaries and their respective underlying properties. Joint Operating Agreements ("JOA") also dated 1 January 2000 between GeoPetro and the Company provide for joint venture operations of the Yapen and Bengara subsidiaries. Under these JOA the Company is obliged to contribute its 60% share of Yapen and Bengara PSC work commitments and expenditures and is entitled to take a 60% share of all revenues realized by the subsidiaries from the Yapen and Bengara PSCs.


In a letter agreement dated 27 October 2005 the Company and GeoPetro agreed to terminate the provisions of the GeoPetro FOA pertaining to Yapen and to terminate in its entirety the Yapen JOA. These terminations coincided with the sale by the Company and by GeoPetro of all of their respective shares of Yapen to Nations (Note 4av).  As of 27 October 2005 the Company no longer has any interest in, entitlements to or obligations in respect of the Yapen PSC.


As part of the closing documents signed 28 September 2006 with CNPC-HK (Note 4avi) the GeoPetro FOA and GeoPetro JOA pertaining to Bengara-II were terminated.


ii)

Medco International Ventures Ltd. (“Medco”) - Yapen Farm-Out


On 5 November 2002, the Company’s subsidiary, Yapen, completed an agreement to farm out 90% of it’s PSC to Medco.  As a result of this Medco farm-out agreement, Yapen assigned 90% of the Yapen PSC to Medco and Yapen retained a 10% interest in the Yapen PSC.  Medco subsequently farmed out a 75% share of its Yapen PSC to Maraja (Note 4aiv) but Yapen's 10% interest was unaffected.


iii)

China Wisdom International (HK) Ltd. (“China Wisdom”) - Bengara Farm-Out


During the 31 July 2003 fiscal year, the Company and its farm out partner, GeoPetro, entered into an agreement with an unrelated partner, China Wisdom, to dispose of 40% of the Bengara subsidiary.


The agreement was terminated during the 2004 fiscal year due to China Wisdom’s default and failure to fulfill its drilling obligations under the farm-out agreement.

iv)

Maraja Yapen Energy Ltd. (“Maraja”) - Yapen Farm-Out from Medco


Pursuant to a farm-out agreement with Maraja dated 28 June 2005, Medco farmed out a 75% share of its Yapen PSC interest to Maraja and Yapen's 10% interest in the Yapen PSC was unaffected. Maraja failed to perform its obligations to Medco under the said farm out agreement resulting in Maraja's breach of contract and consequently in accordance with the provisions of the farm-out agreement Maraja's 75% interest in the Yapen PSC was reassigned to Yapen in a deed of assignment dated 15 August 2005. The Company realized no proceeds from the reassignment.


v)

Nations Energy Company Ltd. (“Nations”) Yapen Sale


Pursuant to a share sale and purchase agreement dated 26 October 2005, the Company and GeoPetro sold 100% of their respective shares of Yapen to Nations, an unrelated buyer, for $6,000,000 cash. The Company was paid and received its 60% share of the Yapen sale proceeds of $3,600,000 at closing.


This transaction resulted in a gain of $3,506,833 net of associated costs, calculated as follows based on the net book values recorded in Yapen as at 26 October 2005:

In recognition of exceptional service to the Company and its shareholders in their respective capacity and influence in concluding the Yapen sale to Nations the Company authorized on 1 December 2005 payment of cash bonuses totaling $90,000 to two executive officers.


vi)

CNPC (Hong Kong) Limited (“CNPC-HK”) Bengara Sale


During the current period, the Company sold 70% of its 60% interest in Bengara and its Bengara-II PSC to CNPC-HK, an unrelated buyer, for $21,000 cash on September 29, 2006. The Company retained an 18% shareholding of Bengara.


To earn its 70% stake in Bengara, CNPC-HK paid an Earning Obligation in cash in the amount of $18,700,000 into Bengara to be used exclusively to pay for work in the Bengara area, including the drilling of four exploratory wells and including the Company's 18% share of such costs.  CNPC-HK will also pay 100% of the exploration and development work, including the Company's 18% share of such costs, until the earlier of 1) an additional amount of $41,300,000 over and above the Earning Obligation funds has been expended or 2) the month after the first commercial lifting of crude oil from the Bengara area is delivered and sold.  In addition, CNPC-HK will pay a cash bonus in the amount of $3,000,000 to the Company contingent upon the first commercial oil and gas discovery within the Bengara area.

The Company recognized its portion of the proceeds, being $21,000, as income.  The net effect of this transaction was a gain of $60,324 based on the net book values recorded in Bengara as at 29 September 2006.


Effective 29 September 2006, all consultant and rental contracts were terminated by Bengara due to the sale of majority interest to CNPC-HK.  Bengara paid 3 months severance on these contracts totalling approximately $133,000 of which the Company has paid its 60% share.


b)

GAT Bangkudulis Petroleum Company Ltd. (“GATB”)


On 31 August 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of 70% of the issued and outstanding shares in GATB from Dimensions West Energy Inc. (“DWE”).  


Prior to fiscal year end 31 July 2005, Pertamina gave notice to GATB in a letter dated July 2005 that it intended to terminate the Bangkudulis TAC together with several other Indonesian TAC's not yet in oil production. The TAC type contract is being discontinued in Indonesia.


The termination of the TAC eliminates the only material asset of GATB and consequently the Company sold its 70% share holding in GATB to an unrelated local investor for a nominal price of $1,000 effective 31 July 2005. All of GATB's liabilities and fixed assets were sold with the shares. The Company no longer has any interest in, entitlements to or obligations in respect of GATB or the TAC.


The Company recognized its portion of the proceeds, being $1,000, as income.  The net effect of this transaction was a gain of $4,059,868, calculated as follows based on the net book values recorded in GATB as at 31 July 2005:

The purchaser acquired the Company’s interest in GATB for $1,000 and assumed all the liabilities and obligations of GATB.  Due to all of the fixed assets of the subsidiary having been written down to $1 prior to the disposal, the GATB subsidiary had a consolidated negative net book value of $4,058,868.  Consequently, the disposal resulted in a gain on disposition.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimate of the share price volatility.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

FORM 51-102F1

CONTINENTAL ENERGY CORPORATION

For the Third Quarter Ended march 31, 2007


NATURE OF BUSINESS


Continental Energy Corporation (“Continental” or the “Company”) is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties with high potential resource prospects.  Continental is focusing its efforts in Indonesia where large tracts of acreage can be accumulated, there is a long and positive history of oil exploration success, and geological conditions are favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation. Continental has acquired rights to an Indonesian production sharing contract area covering 3,649 square kilometers (900,000 acres), the Bengara-II Block. Continental is an exploration stage company and none of its oil and gas properties currently generate revenue.


Our accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.  Our fiscal year end is June 30th (Formerly July 31, 2006 see "Change of Fiscal Year End" below).  All reported amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.


The date of this report is as of May 15, 2007.


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION


This interim management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to Continental that are based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Continental.  When used in this document, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to Continental or its management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  This MD&A contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other things, regulatory compliance, the sufficiency of current working capital, and the estimated cost and availability of funding for the continued exploration and development of the Company’s oil and gas properties.  Such statements reflect the current views of Continental with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Aside from factors identified in the annual MD&A, additional important factors, if any, are identified here.

On March 31, 2007, the Company had options outstanding granted to directors, officers and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 5,210,000 shares at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.40 and expiring at varying dates between April 30, 2007 and June 30, 2009.


On March 31, 2007, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 5,425,001 shares at prices ranging from $0.15 to $0.50 and expiring at varying dates between April 6, 2007 and June 30, 2008.


Expenses

Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 of $1,629,555 compared to income of $2,463,634 in the nine months ended April 30, 2006.  The largest difference was the partial sale of Bengara shares resulted in a gain of $60,324 compared with the sale of the Company’s Yapen subsidiary in the previous year for cash proceeds of $3,600,000 and a recorded gain of $3,506,833 on disposition.


During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company elected to remove certain accounts payable in the amount of $90,739 off its books due to the fact that they were over 6 years old and the Company has received no correspondence from these vendors over this period.  These payables were on the books of the Company when the current management took over the Company and have been maintained for conservative purposes, but upon legal advice they are now being written off resulting in a gain of $90,739.    During the current period the Company generated $60,324 in interest income due to the large cash balance on hand compared with $57,543 in the previous year.  The Company wrote down its resource properties to nominal values, which resulted in an expense in the amount of $124,393.  In the prior fiscal period, the property write-down was $83,850.  


General and administrative expenses increased by $884,846 from $836,697 to $1,721,543 for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007 respectively.  The prior year costs were very lower due to the fact that the Company was short of funds.  After the Yapen sale the Company activity has picked up and therefore the general and administrative costs have gone up.  The significant changes to general and administrative expenses are as follows.  Management fees increased by $288,850 from $349,781 to $638,631.  The increase is due to an increase to management bonuses of $270,000 paid to two executive directors and one employee, an increase in two directors’ management contracts as well as utilizing additional management staff in the Company’s Indonesian operations and severance payments made to Bengara staff upon disposition of the Company’s Bengara subsidiary. Professional fees increased by $124,256 from $32,565 to $156,821.  The current period consisted of higher legal and accounting costs for various due diligence work and a change in disclosure requirements which did not exist in the prior period.  Investor relations expense amounted to $117,508 in the current period while there was no similar expense in the prior period due to the lack of funds.  Travel increased by $115,013 from $86,032 to $201,045.  The travel increase is due to the company’s efforts to promote its properties and business plan as well as the establishment of strategic relationships throughout the world.  During the period, the Company amended the terms of certain share purchase warrants outstanding.  The Company has recorded the fair value of the amended warrants as financing fees, being $112,723 for March 2007 compared to $Nil for April 2006  All other expense groups appear consistent with the comparative period and most increased slightly.

Based on my knowledge, the interim filings do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made, with respect to the period covered by the interim filings;


3.

Based on my knowledge, the interim financial statements together with the other financial information included in the interim filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date and for the periods presented in the interim filings;


4.

The issuer's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the issuer, and we have:


(a)

designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused them to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and


(b)

designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP; and


5.

I have caused the issuer to disclose in the interim MD&A any change in the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the issuer’s most recent interim period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.
