PART - I

This United States Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Form-20F is made as an "Annual Report" pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Further, the following defined terms are used throughout this Annual Report.

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934.These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

ITEM-1 : IDENTITY OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISERS

We are filing this Form-20F as an annual report under the Exchange Act and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-1 is not applicable.

 

ITEM-2 : OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE

We are filing this Form-20F as an annual report under the Exchange Act and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-2 is not applicable.

 

ITEM-3 : KEY INFORMATION

A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

The financial data for Fiscal years ended 6/30/11, 6/30/12, and 6/30/13 as shown in the following table is derived from our audited financial statements as indicated in the independent auditor’s report included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The data for the Fiscal years ended 6/30/09 and 6/30/10 are derived from the Company's audited financial statements, not included herein, but filed with previous Form-20FAnnual Reports and incorporated herein by this reference.

The financial data shown in the following table is derived from the financial statements of the Company, which for Fiscal Years ending 6/30/11 and earlier, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the application of which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects for the periods presented with US GAAP, except as disclosed in footnotes to the financial statements.

Commencing from 7/1/11 and for the Fiscal Years ended 6/30/12 and 6/30/13, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards {"IFRS") instead of GAAP. The first annual IFRS consolidated financial statements were prepared for the Fiscal year ended 6/30/12 with restated comparatives for the previous Fiscal Year ended 6/30/11.

The Company has not calculated and is not reporting any ratio of earning to fixed charges, to combined fixed charges or to any dividends and has not calculated and reported any other ratios, other than earnings per share as set forth above, in this Annual Report; and hence no basis for such calculation is included.

The selected financial data set forth in the following table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

D. RISK FACTORS.

Much of the information contained in this annual report includes or is based on estimates, projections or other “forward looking” statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by our Company and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.

Our business prospects as an emerging international energy producer, our ongoing operations at a particular project, or our overall financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks:

a)     

Competitive Risk - Competition among international energy producing companies for quality international oil, gas, and electricity production properties; for reliable joint venture partners; and for limited amounts of new development capital is intense.

 

b)     

Political Risk - The Company's business activities and investments are all located out of its home jurisdiction of Canada and are subject to the political risks of foreign investment. These include potential changes in laws affecting foreign ownership, contract and area tenure, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties, rates of exchange and exchange controls. Any new government policies adverse to the Company could include a change in crude oil pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls. Direct and indirect effects of the decline in value of the local currency have included high levels of domestic inflation, reductions in employment, high interest rates, unavailability of traditional sources of financing, and an overall contraction in production and income levels. These conditions have affected and may continue to affect the operating environment in a particular country, as well as the cost and availability of financing for natural resources development efforts. The normal economic conditions in any country may sustain shocks that exacerbate adverse economic conditions and such shocks could originate from various sources, including social unrest, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, secessionist provinces, lack of government effectiveness due to political uncertainty, or policy initiatives adverse to foreign investment.

 

c)     

Minority Shareholding Risks - The Company from time to time holds only a minority or similar non-controlling share holding interest in a partially owned subsidiary company which in turn owns and operates a particular project, property, business, and/or investment. In such cases the Company may exert no direct management control and have only very limited influence on decisions which may impact the performance of such partially owned subsidiary. This lack of direct management control could have a detrimental effect upon the value of the Company’s interests.

 

d)     

JV Operator Risk - It is customary in the international oil and gas exploration and production business to share geological and engineering risks through partnerships with other oil companies through a Joint Venture ("JV") arrangement under a joint operating agreements. One member of the JV group, usually the one with the largest interest, is the designated "Operator" for the JV and conducts all management of operations on the property or project on behalf of the group. The Company's degree of influence and control over the Operator and the JV is directly proportional to the amount of participating interest held by the Company in proportion to that held by other interest holders. Annual budgets and major expenditures are authorized by the JV group members voting according to their respective percentage holding of the JV. In any case where the Company holds less than a voting control interest in the JV, the Company is at risk of being forced into contributing its shares of costs on activities it does not want to pursue or giving up some portion of its interest in the entire JV if it elects not to pay its share or fails to pay its share, as may be provided for under the terms of the joint operating agreement.

 

e)     

JV Partner Risk - Any number of risks beyond the control of the Company could have a detrimental effect on the Company's JV partners, including the JV Operator and cause them to be unable to fund their own share of JV costs or meet their share of JV commitments. In such case there is a high degree of risk that the Company would not be able to take up and pay a failed partner's share of JV costs and the Company's own JV interest may thereby be detrimentally affected.

 

f)     

Geological Risk - From time to time the Company participates in exploration for new oil and gas accumulations or it evaluates the availability of sufficient water, wind, or geothermal resources to justify a possible alternative energy development. Each of these activities involves a high degree of geological risk. There is no assurance that expenditures to be made by the Company in the search for such resources will result in any discoveries of sufficient resources of a quantity to justify or sustain a commercial development.

 

g)     

Transport Risk - The marketability of any oil, gas, or electrical power which the Company may produce may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors may determine whether a new project is commercially viable at all, and include the proximity and capacity of existing pipelines, storage capacity, power transmission lines, and the locations of principal off-takers or markets.

 

h)     

Operating Risks - Oil, gas, and electricity production operations involve risks normally incident to such heavy industrial activities, including fires, spills, equipment failure, accidents, and well blowouts. Any of these hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of, our facilities or properties. Such hazards could also injure persons or adversely affect the environment. Dealing with such damage could greatly increase the cost of operations and detrimentally effect our financial condition.

 
Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 5 of 33

 





i)     

Environmental Risks - Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities of the countries in which we conduct our business activities may be changed and such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

 

j)     

Health and Safety Risks - Many of our business activities are subject to health and safety standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities of the countries in which we conduct our business activities. We may become subject to claims for liability for injuries or deaths to our workers or others against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

 

k)     

Title Risk - We have or may acquire leases, rights or other property associated with our projects, but the property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through our due diligence searches. We believe our interests are valid, but this is no guarantee against possible claims. If title to property associated with our projects is challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such claims and our ownership interest therein may be detrimentally effected if we lose.

 

l)     

Price Volatility Risks - During the past few years world oil and gas prices have undergone an unprecedented rise followed closely by a precipitous decline. Skyrocketing demand in emerging markets has driven electricity prices to record highs in many localities. This price volatility has substantial impact upon the international oil and gas and energy business and the Company's business in particular. The nature of the impact and its future effect upon the Company is almost impossible to determine with any degree of confidence. Continued volatility of oil, gas, and electricity prices adds substantial risk to the Company's efforts to plan, budget, or forecast its business activities. Price volatility may contribute to an inability of the Company to repay any debt or pay any obligations on its projects which could have serious and material adverse consequences on the Company.

 

m)     

Currency/Exchange Rate Risk - Many of the financial obligations and commitments the Company from time to time undertakes in its international energy business are denominated in US Dollars. A substantial amount of the Company's business transactions are and may be denominated in other currencies. Fluctuations in these currencies may have a substantial effect on the Company’s financial statements due to related gains or losses due to exchange rate changes. The Company does not hedge and engage in other strategies to protect itself from adverse fluctuations in the respective exchange rate. Significant variations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations.

 

n)     

Financing Risks - The Company is not generating income or revenue, has generated losses to date and does not presently have sufficient financial resources to undertake by itself all of its planned acquisitions. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain new financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to extend or defer its contractual work commitments in the event sufficient funds are not available. It is possible that prolonged inability of the Company to fund its commitments could result in a loss of some or all of its interest. Management is pursuing all available options to raise working capital and funds for its various projects. There can be no assurance that the management will be successful.

 

o)     

Liquidity Risk - The future development of the properties of the Company and acquisition of new properties shall depend upon the ability of the Company to finance through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. The Company intends to raise required additional funds by selling equity or debt securities, until it develops or acquires cash flow from operations. While the Company has been successful in raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can continue to do so. If such funds cannot be secured, the Company will be forced to curtail its exploration/development efforts to a level for which funding can be secured. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing. This situation could be exacerbated by acts of international terrorism or unforeseen political disturbances. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of its exploration programs or the acquisition of new properties and projects.

 

p)     

Stock Market Volatility - The effect of volatile oil and gas prices as described above has had a huge effect upon the world stock markets and most companies, including the Company have seen a severe reduction in their market capitalization. Lower stock prices and loss of investor confidence reduce the Company's ability to raise equity capital on the stock markets.

 

q)     

Risk of Future Changes in Regulatory Environment - Regardless of their location, our properties and our operations thereon are governed by laws and regulations relating to the development, production, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of crude oil, taxation and environmental and safety matters. Changes to regulations or compliance with regulations may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our Company. Further, exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

 

r)     

Risks Relating to our Common Stock - Shareholders' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire additional oil and gas property interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of existing shareholders in our Company will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.

 

Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 6 of 33

 





s)     

Risk of Concentration of Shareholder Control - Principal shareholders, senior management and Directors have significant influence regarding share ownership. This concentration could lead to conflicts of interest and difficulties for non-insider investors effecting corporate changes, and could adversely affect our Company's share price. As of the Report Date, our senior management, Directors and greater than five percent shareholders (and their affiliates), acting together, held approximately36 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of our Company and have the ability to influence all matters submitted to our Company's shareholders for approval (including the election and removal of Directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our Company's assets) and to control our Company's management and affairs (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares. Employee, Director and consultant stock options and warrants could lead to greater concentration of share ownership among insiders and could lead to dilution of share ownership which could lead to depressed share prices.

 

t)     

Stock Option Risk - Because the success of our Company is highly dependent upon our respective employees, our Company has granted to certain employees, Directors and consultants stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as non-cash incentives (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).To the extent that significant numbers of such stock options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other shareholders of our Company may be diluted causing possible loss of investment value.

 

u)     

No Dividend Distribution - We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors may never declare cash dividends, which action is exclusively within our discretion. Shareholders cannot expect to receive a dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future, if at all.

 

v)     

Penny Stock Rules - Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s "Penny Stock" rules which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. The SEC has adopted rules which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors”. The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000  jointly with their spouse.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized  risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the share that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.

 

w)     

Limitations to Buy or Sell Shares - The National Association of Securities Dealer (NASD) has adopted sales practice requirements which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

x)     

Indemnity of Officers and Directors - Our articles contain provisions that state, subject to applicable law, we must indemnify every Director or officer of our Company, subject to the limitations of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), against all losses or liabilities that our Company's Directors or Officers may sustain or incur in the execution of their duties. Our articles further state that no Director or officer will be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune that may happen to, or be incurred by our Company in the execution of his duties if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our Company. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of litigation against our Company's Officers and Directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our Company's Officers and Directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and our shareholders.

 

Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 7 of 33

 





y)     

Management and Employee Risks - Key management employees may fail to properly carry out their duties or may leave, which could negatively impact our corporate operations and/or our share price. Our Company’s financial condition and the success of our oil and gas operations is dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. We face competition for qualified personnel from numerous industry sources, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of service of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations and/or financial condition, which may negatively impact our share price. We do not have key-man insurance on any of our employees.

 

z)     

Key Management Risk - The Company depends entirely upon its management to identify, acquire, finance and operate a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties through which the Company can grow and achieve oil production and a steady income. The Company's management is comprised of a small number of key employees with technical skills and expertise in the business, the loss of any one of whom could harm the Company. The Company does not currently maintain "key-man" insurance for any of its employees.

 

aa)     

Director’s Conflicts of Interest - Because we have not adopted a formal conflicts of interest policy, the occurrence of one or more conflicts could have a negative impact on our ability to raise capital and/or our share price. Some of our Directors and Officers serve or may serve as Directors or Officers of other oil and gas or mineral exploration companies or have interests in other oil and gas or mineral exploration companies or ventures. To the extent that our Company has dealings with such companies or ventures, certain of our Directors and Officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such dealings. Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), our Directors and senior Officers must disclose material interests in any contract or transaction (or proposed contract or transaction) material to our Company. However, our lack of a formal conflicts of interest policy may make it difficult for our Company to raise additional capital because institutional investors may be unable to invest in our Company. Furthermore, we may be unable to list our shares on an exchange if such exchange requires that we have a formal conflicts of interest policy, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and may have an adverse effect on the value of your investment in our Company or the market for our shares.

The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower share-based payments expense of $52,250 compared to $692,182 in Fiscal 2012 and financing fee of $nil compared to $160,994, as a result of the differences in the Company’s estimates for such items in the two years.

The investor relations costs were $41,915 in Fiscal 2012 and only $2,180 in Fiscal 2013. As a result of the Company’s convertible promissory note being accreted almost to its face value, the accretion expense was also lower in Fiscal 2013 at $14,730 compared to $47,380 in Fiscal 2012. The decrease in costs related to the above items was offset by an increase in interest charges during Fiscal 2013 of $33,596. The terms of the Company’s convertible promissory note were modified in Fiscal 2013 to accrue interest at 18% retroactively from the 9/10/11 date of the issuance of such convertible promissory note, resulting in the higher interest charge during the year ended 6/30/13.

B. COMPENSATION.

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain high performing senior executives, encourage and reward superior performance and align the executives’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Individual compensation may be based on individual experience and performance or other criteria deemed important by the Compensation Committee. In order to meet the Company’s objectives, executive compensation is guided by three principles: 1) providing executives with an equity-based incentive plan, namely a stock option plan; 2) aligning employee compensation with Company corporate objectives; and 3) attracting and retaining qualified individuals in key positions.

The Compensation Committee - The Company’s Board of Directors has delegated compensation matters to its Compensation Committee which from time to time reviews and recommends executive compensation to the Board of Directors for its approval. The Compensation Committee uses discretion and judgment when determining compensation levels as they apply to a specific executive.

Compensation Elements - An executive compensation policy has been established to acknowledge and reward the contributions of the executive Officers to the Company’s success and to ensure competitive compensation, in order that the Company may benefit from the expertise required to pursue its objectives. The Company’s executive compensation policy is comprised of both fixed and variable components. The variable components include equity and non-equity incentive plans. Each compensation component has a different function, but all elements are intended to work in concert to maximize Company and individual performance by establishing specific, competitive operational and financial goals and by providing financial incentives to employees based on their level of attainment of these goals. The Company’s current executive compensation program is comprised of the following components:

Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 19 of 33

 





Compensation on Termination - There are no Company policies providing for, and no provisions in the Company’s employment agreements with its Officers or employees for, incremental payments to be made to them by the Company in the event of termination of their employment “Without Cause”.

Compensation on Change of Control of Company - There are no Company policies providing for, and no provisions in the Company’s employment agreements with its Officers or employees for incremental payments to be made to them by the Company in the event of termination of their employment on the event of any “Change of Control” of the Company.

Compensation of Directors-The Company has no standard arrangement pursuant to which Directors are compensated by the Company for their services solely in their capacity as Directors except for the granting from time to time of incentive stock options in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan and except for compensation paid to Directors who are also executive Officers. No cash compensation was paid to any Director of the Company for the Director’s services as a Director during the most recently completed financial year, other than the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

Notes to the table:

1     

When applicable the value of the share-based and options awards reflects the fair value of options granted on the dates of grant. The fair value is computed using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate; b) expected years of life of the option; c) the price of the stock on the grant date; d) expected volatility as a percentage; and e) no expected dividend payments. The Black Scholes model is used to compute option fair values because it is the most commonly used option pricing model and is considered to produce a reasonable estimate of fair value.

ITEM-8 : FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

Preparation of Financial Statements - The Company prepares annual audited consolidated financial statements as at its year end date of 30 June. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. During the course of the Company’s Fiscal Year, management prepares unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements as at September 30, December 31, and March 31 which are filed on SEDAR with the British Columbia Securities Commission within 60 days of the quarter’s end. These same quarterly statements are filed by the Company on EDGAR as Form-6K filings.

SEDAR Filings - The Company makes continuous disclosure filings with Canadian securities regulators electronically via “SEDAR”, the "System for Electronic Document Archiving and Retrieval". The Company began filing electronically on SEDAR in 1997. Copies of the Company’s SEDAR filings, including our annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements and management discussion and analysis may be downloaded from the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

Reporting Currency - Commencing for its 7/31/02 year end the Company adopted the U.S. currency as its reporting currency and has prepared its financial statements since then on that basis. The accounts of the Company are now prepared in U.S. dollars and the Company’s Canadian operations are translated into U.S. dollars under the temporal method.

Canadian GAAP - Prior to and including the Company's Fiscal Year ended 6/30/11, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the application of which, in the case of the Company, conformed in all material respects for the periods presented with US GAAP, except as disclosed in footnotes to the financial statements.

IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standards - The Canadian Accounting Standards Board announced its decision to replace Canadian GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for all Canadian publicly accountable enterprises. The effective changeover date for the Company is 7/1/11, at which time Canadian GAAP ceased to apply for Continental and was replaced by IFRS. Following this timeline, the Company issued its first set of interim financial statements prepared under IFRS for the quarter ended9/30/11 including comparative IFRS financial results and an opening balance sheet as at 7/1/10. The first annual IFRS consolidated financial statements were prepared for the Fiscal year ended 6/30/12 with restated comparatives for the previous Fiscal Year ended 6/30/11. Commencing from 7/1/11, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s audited financial statements for Fiscal 2013 can be found under "Item 18 - Financial Statements" in the annual report below.

B. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

Legal Proceedings - As of the Report Date, the Company knows of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

Cease Trade Orders - Subsequent to the end of Fiscal 2013, the British Columbia Securities Commission issued the Company a cease trade order on 12/23/13 and the Alberta Securities Commission issued a cease trade order on 3/26/14. These orders were issued because the Company was at the time deficient in its regulatory requirements involving the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 6/30/13 and interim unaudited statements for the quarters ended 9/30/13 and 12/31/13. The orders prohibit trading of the Company’s securities in Canada until the deficiency is cured by the filing by the Company of the required financial reports and revocation orders have been issued by both Commissions. The Company has cured these deficiencies with its 4/23/14 filing on SEDAR of its audited annual financial statements for Fiscal 2013 and its subsequent filing, on 2/5/14, of interim statements for quarters ended 9/30/13 and 12/31/13. On 5/5/14 the Company filed for a revocation order with the Commissions. As at the Report Date, no approval has yet been received.

Dividend Distributions - Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board, in its discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. The Company has not declared any dividends for the last five Fiscal Years and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Objects and Purposes - Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles contain a description of our objects and purposes.

Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 26 of 33

 





Directors - Our Articles have provisions related to conflicts of interests of directors in certain corporate transactions. A director or senior officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company proposes to enter into, must disclose such interest and is liable to account to the Company for any profit that accrues to the director or senior offer as a result of the transaction if the provisions for disclosure and director approval set out in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) are not complied with. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution approving the contract or transaction, unless all directors have an interest in the contract or transaction. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is entitled to be counted as part of the quorum for the directors’ meeting to consider the contract or transaction. Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), a director does not hold a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction merely because it relates to his/her compensation in his/her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. Our Articles provide that our directors may, without shareholder approval, borrow money upon the credit of our Company, issue and sell bonds or debentures and provide guarantees. Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles set out a mandatory retirement age for our directors and our directors are not required to own securities of our Company in order to serve as directors.

Authorized Capital - Our Notice of Articles provide that our authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. Our preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and our directors may fix the number of shares which is to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions -Pursuant to our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), holders of our common stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote, receive any dividend declared by our Company's board of directors and, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares, receive the remaining property of our Company upon dissolution. Shares of our preferred stock of each series rank on a parity with our share of preferred stock of any other series and are entitled to a preference over shares of our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. The provisions in our Articles attaching to our common stock and our preference stock may be altered, amended, repealed, suspended or changed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 2/3s of the outstanding shares of common stock and 2/3s of the shares of preferred stock, as applicable. With the exception of special resolutions (i.e. resolutions in respect of fundamental changes to our Company, including: the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, an merger or other arrangement or an alteration to our Company's authorized capital) that require the approval of 2/3s of the votes cast by shareholders (holding common stock) entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, resolutions to approve matters brought before a meeting of our shareholders require approval by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Shareholder Meetings - The Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides that:(i) meetings of shareholders must be held in British Columbia, unless otherwise provided in a company's Articles; (ii) directors must call an annual general of shareholders not later than 15 months after the last preceding annual general and once in every calendar year;(iii) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or vote at meetings of shareholders, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for that determination, provided that such date shall not precede by more than 50 days or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held; (iv) a quorum of shareholders for a shareholder meeting may be set by the Articles and the Company’s Articles provide that the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is two shareholders, or one or more proxy holder representing two members, or one member and proxy holder representing another member; (v) the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares entitled to vote at a meeting may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition; and (vii) upon the application of a director or shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may order a meeting to be called, held and conducted in a manner that the Court directs.

Limitations on Rights of Non-Canadians - Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common stock under the laws of Canada or British Columbia or in our charter documents. See "Exchange Controls" below in this Annual Report for a discussion of the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadian residents proposing to acquire our common stock.

Delay of Change of Control - Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), at each annual general meeting of our shareholders all of our directors retire and the shareholders appoint a new board of directors. Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting unless:(i) he dies or resigns; (ii) he is removed by ordinary resolution of our shareholders (or class or series of shareholders if such class or series has the exclusive right to elect one or more directors); or (iii) the director becomes disqualified to hold officer, as provided under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board holds office for the unexpired term of his predecessor (generally, until our next annual general meeting).With the exception of provisions in our Articles that limit the number of directors that can be appointed between annual meetings of shareholders and that give our directors the authority to issue blank check preferred stock, there are no provisions in our Notice of Articles or Articles that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving our Company.

Reporting of Share Ownership -Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that we disclose in our annual general meeting proxy statement, holders who beneficially own more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares, and United States Federal securities laws require the disclosure in our annual report on Form-20F of holders who own more than five percent of our issued and outstanding shares.

Indonesian Bid Group Agreement – On 2/4/13, the Company announced that it had entered into a joint bid arrangement with another local industry player to present bids for new Indonesian production sharing contracts offered by Indonesian oil and gas authorities in 2013.

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS.

Except as discussed in ITEM-10.E, "Taxation", the Company is not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares. There are no limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.

The Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”), which generally prohibits a reviewable investment by an entity that is not a “Canadian”, as defined, unless after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the Shares by a non-Canadian who is not a “WTO investor” (which includes governments of, or individuals who are nationals of, member states of the World Trade Organization and corporations and other entities which are controlled by them), at a time when the Company was not already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act under three circumstances. First, if it was an investment to acquire control (within the meaning of the Investment Act) and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was C$5 million or more. Second, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that the investment related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity (as prescribed under the Investment Act), regardless of asset value. Third, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that an investment by a non-Canadian could be injurious to national security.

An investment in the Shares by a WTO investor, or by a non- Canadian at a time when the Company was already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2009 is C$312 million.

The usual thresholds for review for direct acquisitions of Canadian businesses (other than acquisitions of cultural businesses) by foreign investors will change as of a date to be determined by the federal cabinet of the Canadian Government. At that time transactions will be reviewable only if the “enterprise value” of the assets of the Canadian business is equal to or greater than (a) C$600 million, in the case of investments made during the first two years after the amendments come into force; (b) C$800 million, in the case of investments made during the third and fourth years after the amendments come into force; and (c) C$1 billion, in the case of investments made between the fifth year after the amendments come into force and December 31 of the sixth year after the amendments come into force. This threshold will thereafter be adjusted on an annual basis.

The Investment Act provides detailed rules to determine if there has been an acquisition of control. For example, a non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the Shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Company not controlled in fact by the acquirer. An acquisition of control for the purposes of the Investment Act could also occur as a result of the acquisition by a non-Canadian of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

E. TAXATION.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - The following summary discusses only the Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of one or more common shares of the Company who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") is a non-resident of Canada who holds common shares as capital property. The summary deals with the provisions of the Tax Act in force on 12/31/99.It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules. It is therefore not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

Dividends - A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/83, 3/28/84, 3/17/95, and 7/29/97 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable

Continental Energy Corporation - Form-20F Annual Report for FYE 2013 Page 28 of 33

 





to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, is 5%.If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.

Disposition of Common Shares - A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian property" as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada. A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include three quarters of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in Canada. The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct three-quarters of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.

United States Taxation - For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("US Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common shares are capital assets in the hands of the US Taxpayer. For federal income tax purposes, a US Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares. A US Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability.

A domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares. Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.

This is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the US income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

ITEM-14 : MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

The provision of information called for by this Item-14 is not applicable.

 

ITEM-15 : CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As required under applicable United States securities regulatory requirements, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures as at Fiscal Year ended 6/30/13 to prevent a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Finance Manager, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 6/30/13.

B. MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of 6/30/13 based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of 6/30/13, based on those criteria.

C. ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010 that provides small public companies with market capitalizations below $75 million a permanent exemption from the Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b) requirement to obtain an audit of internal controls over financial reporting.

D. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting procedures or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management's last evaluation.

ITEM-16 : [RESERVED]

A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Our Board of Directors has determined that we have one member of our Audit Committee that qualifies as an "Audit Committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. We believe that the members of our Board of Directors, who are the same members of our Audit Committee, are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Phillip B. Garrison and David Yu qualify as "independent" members of our Audit Committee as that term is defined in Rule 4350(d) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).We believe that having an Audit Committee that consists entirely of independent Directors is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date.

B. CODE OF ETHICS.

We have formally adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and our principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions (collectively our “Senior Financial Officers”). A copy of this code of ethics, signed by the appropriate Senior Financial Officers of our Company, is filed with this Annual Report as an attachment

C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

In addition, DMCL is registered with the Public Company Accountability Oversight Board. Our Board of Directors appointed DMCL as our principal accountant to audit our financial statements for Fiscal 2013, the period covered by this Annual Report.

Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed by DMCL for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the year ended 6/30/13 were $20,000 (2012 - $ 20,000).

Audit Committee Pre-Approved Procedures - Our Audit Committee pre-approves all services provided by DMCL as our principal accountant. DMCL’s fees were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee before the respective services were rendered and none of such services were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES.

The provision of information called for by this Item-16.D is not applicable.

E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.

During the most recently completed Fiscal Year ended 6/30/13 and covered by this Annual Report the Company made no repurchases of its own securities pursuant to any plan or program. The Company made no public announcements of any securities repurchase plans or programs during the year. There are no outstanding securities that may yet be purchased under any plan or program attributable to the past or prior years as at the Report Date.

F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 JUNE 2013

Expressed in U.S. Dollars






INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Continental Energy Corporation;

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Continental Energy Corporation, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Continental Energy Corporation as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements which describes certain conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about Continental Energy Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  

 

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Continental Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Continental”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s registered address and records office is 900-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3H1.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. The Company trades its shares on the OTCQB.

The Company's core business is oil and gas exploration via acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and related investments. The Company has recently expanded its business into the oil and gas offshore service industry by acquiring an interest in a private Norwegian holding company that owns minority interests in two oil and gas service and support businesses.

The Company is an exploration stage company and has no properties that are currently generating revenue. The recovery of the Company’s investment in resource properties and attainment of profitable operations is principally dependent upon financing being arranged by the Company to continue operations, develop its existing resource properties and acquire new ones. The outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined because they are contingent on future events.

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred operating losses over the past several fiscal years, has no current source of operating cash flow, and no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its oil and gas projects.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire, explore and develop future oil and gas properties as well as funding ongoing administration expenses by issuance of share capital or through joint ventures. Ultimately the Company must achieve future profitable production or realize proceeds from the disposition of potential oil and gas properties. Management intends to obtain additional funding by issuing common stock in private placements. There can be no assurance that management’s future financing actions will be successful. Management is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of improvements in the equity markets for raising capital for future acquisitions or expenditures. These uncertainties represent a liquidity risk and impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future.

If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, liquidation accounting would apply and adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets, liabilities, the reported income and expenses, and such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Preparation

 

  a) Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The policies presented in Note 3 were consistently applied to all periods presented and are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of April 22, 2014, the date the Board of Directors approved the financial statements.

  b) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 51% owned subsidiary, Visionaire Energy AS (“Visionaire”), which was acquired during the year ended 30 June 2013 (Note 7).

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.

  a) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if it affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

  i) Share-based compensation

The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s

8

comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of the options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

  ii) Warrant valuation

The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements and as compensation for debt financing arrangements. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate warrant exercises and forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a warrants, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original warrant if the warrants were originally issued as compensation. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

Critical Judgments

  i) Promissory notes payable:

The Company, from time to time, may grant convertible instruments as part of its financing and capital raising transactions. A compound financial instrument is a debt security with an embedded conversion option or attached warrants and requires the separate recognition of the liability and equity components. The fair value of the liability portion of the compound financial instrument is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent debt instrument without the conversion feature. This amount is recorded as a liability and the remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option and attached warrants which are recognized in the conversion option reserves and share based payment reserves respectively. This makes assumptions as to the market value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature (Note 9).

  ii)     

Recovery of deferred tax assets: Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets on the statement of consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2013.

     
  b) Foreign Currencies

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the parent Company is the U.S. dollar and the functional

9





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

currency of the Company’s subsidiary is the Norwegian Krone. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”).

Any transactions in currencies other than the functional currency have been translated to the U.S. dollar in accordance with IAS 21. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at that rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

The Company’s presentation currency is the US dollar.

  c) Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. In the years when the Company reports a loss, the effect would be anti-dilutive, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

  d) Share Based Payments

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The board of directors grants such options for periods of up to five years, with vesting periods determined at its sole discretion and at prices equal to or greater than the closing market price on the day preceding the date the options were granted. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

The fair value of the share purchase options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share purchase options were granted. At each statement of financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share purchase options that are expected to vest.

  e) Valuation of Warrants

The Company values warrants issued as part of a private placement unit by allocating the proceeds from the issuance of units between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a pro-rata basis based on relative fair values as follows:

10





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

The fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in the share based payment reserve.

  f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, or (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of oil and gas resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to the oil and gas property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

  g) Decommissioning Liabilities

The Company provides for the costs of decommissioning associated with long-lived assets, including the abandonment of oil and natural gas wells, related facilities, compressors, gas plants, removal of equipment from leased acreage and returning such land in a condition as it is contractually obligated. The best estimate of decommissioning liabilities is recorded in the period a well or related asset is drilled and evaluated, constructed or acquired. The decommissioning liabilities is measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Any further adjustment arising from a reassessment of estimated cost of the decommissioning liabilities also has a corresponding amount capitalized, whilst the charge arising from the accretion of the discount applied to the decommissioning liabilities is treated as a component of finance costs in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Management has not identified any legal or expected decommissioning liability as at 30 June 2013.

  h) Equipment

11





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of these assets, less residual value, over their estimated useful economic lives, for the following classes of assets:

  i) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are classified into one of the following categories:

The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial asset.

(i) FVTPL financial assets

Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when the financial instrument is held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL.

A financial instrument is classified as held for trading if:

Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any resultant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

The Company has no financial assets classified as FVTPL.

(ii) AFS financial assets

12





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

Investments held by the Company that are classified as AFS are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity in the investments revaluation reserve. When an investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.

The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is translated at the spot rate on the statement of financial position date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences due to a change in amortized cost of the asset is recognized in profit or loss, while all other changes are recognized in equity.

The Company has no financial assets classified as AFS.

(iii) HTM financial assets

Investments are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, the Company measures the assets at their fair value. The Company assesses its intention and ability to hold its held-to-maturity investments to maturity not only when those financial assets are initially recognised, but also at the end of each subsequent reporting period. The Company has no HTM financial assets.

(iv) Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the transaction value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less impairment losses. The impairment loss of receivables is based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

The Company has classified receivables and cash as loans and receivables.

(v) Effective interest method

The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

(vi) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial instrument is derecognized when:

13





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into one of the following categories:

The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial liability.

(i) FVTPL financial liabilities

This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

These are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

The Company has classified accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable to related party, and convertible debt as other financial liabilities.

(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

  j) Impairment

Financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as follows:

  (i)     

Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss is the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account.

     
  (ii)     

Available-for-sale financial assets: The impairment loss is the difference between the original cost of the asset and its fair value at the measurement date, less any impairment losses previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. This amount represents the

14





Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 June 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
 

cumulative loss in accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified to the statement of comprehensive loss.

Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments are not reversed.

Non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long lived assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGU’s, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGU’s for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets with a finite useful life, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

  k) Compound Financial Instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible promissory notes that can be converted into fixed number of common shares of the Company. The liability component of the compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Should a compound financial instrument have more than one equity component, transaction costs are allocated to the equity components in proportion to their respective fair values.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.

  l) Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred taxes are recorded using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC. The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows:

  a)     

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosure (“IFRS 7”) was amended to require additional disclosures on transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

     
  b)     

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. There are two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal

16

and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value through profit or loss. The standard has no mandatory effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

c)

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 will superseded the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC-12”), and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”). IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

d)

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), was issued in May 2011 and superseded IAS 31, Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”). IFRS 11 provides for the accounting of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The Standard also eliminates the option to account for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method. The standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

e)

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

 

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. In addition, IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures about fair value measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

   

  f)

IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The Company does not have any items that impact OCI and therefore the revisions to IAS 1 did not have any impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

5. Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its oil and gas properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and receivables.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the

capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest any excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the year ended 30 June 2013.

6. Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

  a) Currency risk

The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar through expenditures that are denominated in Canadian dollars and other foreign currencies. Also, the Company is exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars:

30 June 2013   Cash   Receivables   Accounts
payable and
accrued
liabilities
 
Canadian dollars $ 46 $ 2,333 $ (136,030 )
Indonesian Rupiah   22   -   -  
Norwegian Kroner   6,844   -   (1,711 )
   
30 June 2012   Cash   Receivables   Accounts
payable and
accrued
liabilities
 
Canadian dollars $ - $ 2,436 $ (27,450 )
Indonesian Rupiah   292   -   -  

At 30 June 2013, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase the loss by $12,850.

  b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held by reputable financial institutions. Receivables consist of goods and services taxes due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote.

c)

Liquidity risk

 

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at 30 June 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $21,999 (30 June 2012 - $152,971) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $769,541 (30 June 2012 - $446,777). Management is currently working on obtaining financing to meet these obligations.

 

d)

Interest rate risk

 

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.The Company has a positive cash balance and its debt bears interest at fixed rates. The Company has no significant concentrations of interest rate risk arising from operations.

 

e)

Commodity price risk

 

 

Commodity price risk is the risk of possible future changes in the commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and evaluation activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The promissory note originally accumulated interest at a rate of 10% per annum or at 15% per annum on default of payment, with maturity date of 22 September 2012. The promissory note principal is convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company. Any unpaid interest upon conversion is also convertible, at the option of the promissory note holder, at the same conversion rate as the promissory note. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) (Note 10) to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 22 September 2013.

On 21 November 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder, increasing the interest rate retroactively to 18%, extending the maturity of the note and the conversion option to 21 March 2013 and reducing the conversion price from $0.08 to $0.05 per share. The promissory note principal is now convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 5,000,000 common shares of the Company. The conversion option amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $1,000.

On 21 May 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder, extending the maturity date of the promissory note and conversion option to 21 September 2013, extending the term of the additional consideration warrants to 21 March 2015 and reducing the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.08. The conversion feature amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $1,000. The additional consideration warrant amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $16,719.

Subsequent to year end, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder, extending the maturity of the promissory note and conversion option to 30 April 2014 (Note14).

The incremental fair value of the conversion feature and the additional consideration warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

      Additional  
  Conversion   Consideration  
  Option   Warrants  
Expected dividend yield Nil   Nil  
  Expected stock price volatility 86% 86%
Risk-free interest rate 0.11% 0.21%
Expected life of options (years) 0.34 – 1.83   1.83  

On 21 September 2011, the fair value of the liability and the equity component were calculated on issuance of the promissory note. The fair value of the liability component was calculated using an estimated market related interest rate of 18% and was determined to be $234,432. The residual amount of $14,760, net of transaction costs of $808, represents the value of the equity components included in shareholder’s equity as reserves. The transaction costs were allocated to the liability and equity components based on the value attributed to each component. The fair value of the 1,562,500 warrants granted as additional consideration and the fair value of the conversion option were calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s exploration and financing activities. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favourable terms, the Company’s activity levels and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will increase.

Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized exploration and evaluation assets and its investments. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized exploration and evaluation assets when exploration results indicate that no further work is warranted and also write-down or write-off its balances in investees if it determines that capitalized balances of these investments are impaired. The size and timing of these write-downs and write-offs cannot typically be predicted and affect the Company’s quarterly results. The Company regularly reviews its oil and gas properties and investments for any indications of impairment.

Non-cash costs such as share based payments expense and financing feesalso affect the size of the Company’s quarterly income (loss).

The activities of the Company’s associates, VTT and RADA, also cause quarterly variances in the Company’s operations.

Year ended June 30, 2013

Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the year ended June 30, 2013 of $700,115 compared to $1,846,559 in the year ended June 30, 2012, a decrease in loss of $1,146,444. The Company had a loss per share of $0.01 in 2013 compared to a loss per share of $0.02 in 2012.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $862,146 from $1,501,366 to $639,220 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable tothe lower share-based payments expense of $52,250 compared to $692,182 in 2012 and financing fee of $nil compared to $160,994, as a result of the differences in the Company’s estimates for such items in the two years. The Company’s investor relations costs were also higher in 2012 due to the Company’s promotional activities at the time. The investor relations costs were $41,915 in 2012 and only $2,181 in 2013.

The overall loss was also higher in 2012 as a result of the Company’s issuance of shares in settlement of its accounts payable. This resulted in an additional loss of $368,000 during the year ended June 30, 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company returned the 300,000 common shares of Tawau Green Energy Sdn. Bhd (“TGE”) acquired in fiscal 2012. The cost of such investment in TGE of $114,769 was written off during fiscal 2013. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company also recorded income of $37,143 as a result of equity accounting for its investments in VTT and RADA.





All other costs remained consistent with the year ended June 30, 2012.

Three month period ended June 30, 2013

Overall, the Company had income from operations during the three month period ended June 30, 2013 of $47,508 (“Current Quarter”) compared to a loss of $208,463 in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 (“Comparative Quarter”), an increase in overall income or decrease in loss of $255,971. The Company had basic and diluted income per share of $0.00 in 2013 compared to a loss per share of$0.00 in 2012.

The decrease in loss or an increase in income is primarily attributable to the change in the Company’s estimate related to share-based payments expense and finance fees – warrants during the Current Quarter. The Company revised its estimate for the fair value of the share-based payments expense from $152,880 to $52,250 and for financing fees – warrants from $154,352 to $nil in the Current Quarter. These revisions in estimates resulted in income of $254,982 compared to net expense of $26,157 resulting in overall additional income of $281,139. The Company also recorded income in the Current Quarter of $37,143 as a result of equity accounting for its investments in VTT and RADA.

The Company returned 300,000 common shares of TGE in its possession during the three months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in a write-off of such investment balance of $114,769 during the Current Quarter, offsetting the above income.

Most other costs remained consistent between the Current Quarter and the Comparative Quarter.

Liquidity

As at June 30, 2013, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $744,691. As at June 30, 2012, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflected a working capital deficit of $277,815.

Cash used in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2013 totaled $189,464, compared with $628,375 in the prior year. Cash from investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2013 was $15,544 whereas there was $125,251 expended on such activities during the year ended June 30, 2012. The significantly greater cash outflow during the prior year was primarily due to the Company’s option agreement related to its investment in TGE.

Financing activities provided $42,948 primarily from the proceeds of a private placement.In the prior comparative period, a $750,000 private placement and a $250,000 convertible promissory noteprovided the funding for financing activities. The repayment of loans to related parties and certain promissory notes reduced the net proceeds to $889,170.

Capital Resources

The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable oil and gas deposits and the Company’s success in the renewable energy sector. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for oil and gas exploration investment, the Company’s track record and the experience and caliber of its management.

With a working capital deficit of $744,691 as at June 30, 2013and additional anticipated cost commitments, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative, corporate development and exploration activities over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and





limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties and other ventures.

The continued degradation of the market conditions for the financing of equity and/or debt for oil and gas exploration and development companies has created additional uncertainty for future financing of the acquisition or development of the Company’s projects.

The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labor, fuel and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on oil and gas properties. Power may need to be generated on site.

Oil and gas exploration is a speculative venture. There is no certainty that the money spent on exploration and development will result in the discovery of an economic oil or gas accumulation. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial accumulations of oil or gas. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be related to the success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other oil and gas exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity.

The market price of energy is volatile and cannot be controlled.

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

Segment Information

The Company’s business consists of two reportable segments, namely an investment in a Norwegian holding company involved in the oil and gas offshore service industry and a Jakarta, Indonesia based oil and gas exploration and evaluation operating business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The details of the Company’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the period endedJune 30, 2013. The following policies are considered by management to be essential for understanding the processes and reasoning that go into the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the uncertainties that could have a bearing on its financial results:

a)     

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if it affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

i)     

Share-based compensation

The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of the options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

ii)     

Warrant valuation

The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements and as compensation for debt financing arrangements. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate warrant exercises and forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a warrants, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original warrant, if the warrants were originally issued as compensation.





The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.

Critical Judgments

i)     

Promissory notes payable:

The Company, from time to time, may grant convertible instruments as part of its financing and capital raising transactions. A compound financial instrument is a debt security with an embedded conversion option or attached warrants and requires the separate recognition of the liability and equity components. The fair value of the liability portion of the compound financial instrument is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent debt instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability and the remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option and attached warrants which are recognized in the conversion option reserves and share based payment reserves respectively. This makes assumptions as to the market value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature. A change in the assumptions could result in modifications to the discount rate and could have a material impact on the effective interest rate of the instrument.

ii)     

Recovery of deferred tax assets: Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company has not recognized any deferred tax assets on the statement of consolidated financial position as at June 30, 2013.

 

b)     

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC. The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows:

a)     

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosure (“IFRS 7”) was amended to require additional disclosures on transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

 

b)     

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. There are two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value through profit or loss.

The standard has no mandatory effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.





c)     

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 will superseded the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC-12”), and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”). IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess.

 

 

The Company early adopted the standard on July 1, 2012. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidation status.

 

d)     

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), was issued in May 2011 and superseded IAS 31, Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”). IFRS 11 provides for the accounting of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The Standard also eliminates the option to account for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method.

The Company early adopted the standard on July 1, 2012. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the Company.

e)     

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company early adopted the standard on July 1, 2012. The adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

f)     

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. In addition, IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures about fair value measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

   
g)     

IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The Company does not have any items that impact OCI and therefore the revisions to IAS 1 did not have any impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below.

a)     

Currency risk

The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar through expenditures that are denominated in Canadian dollars and Indonesian Rupiahs. Also, the Company is exposed to the impact of currency fluctuations on its foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars:

            Accounts  
            payable and  
            accrued  
30 June 2013   Cash   Receivables   liabilities  
Canadian dollars $ 46 $ 2,333 $ (136,030 )
Indonesian Rupiah   22   -   -  
Norwegian Kroner   6,844   -   (1,711 )

 

            Accounts  
            payable and  
            accrued  
30 June 2012   Cash   Receivables   liabilities  
Canadian dollars $ - $ 2,436 $ (27,450 )
Indonesian Rupiah   292   -   -  

At June 30, 2013, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase the loss by $12,850.

b)     

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company’s cash is held by reputable financial institutions. Receivables consist of goods and services taxes due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote.

c)     

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at June 30, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $21,999 (June 30, 2012 -$152,971) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $769,541 (June 30, 2012 - $446,777). Management is currently working on obtaining financing to meet these obligations.





d)     

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.The Company has a positive cash balance and its debt bears interest at fixed rates. The Company has no significant concentrations of interest rate risk arising from operations.

e)     

Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk of possible future changes in the commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and evaluation activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its oil and gas properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and receivables.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the year ended June 30, 2013.

Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management and expressed in US Dollars)
31 MARCH 2014

 

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Continental Energy Corporation (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s registered address and records office is 900-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3H1.

The Company is an emerging international energy investment company acquiring participating interests in oil, gas, and alternative energy projects, producers, and related services providers outside of North America.

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The Company has incurred operating losses over the past several fiscal years and has no current source of operating cash flow. There are no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to further develop its projects. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire new properties and develop them as well as fund ongoing administration expenses.

Management intends to obtain additional funding by issuing common stock in private placements. There can be no assurance that management’s future financing actions will be successful. Management is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of improvements in the equity markets for raising capital for future acquisitions or expenditures.

These uncertainties represent a liquidity risk and impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these Interim Financial Statements, liquidation accounting would apply and adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets, liabilities, the reported income and expenses, and such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Preparation

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations thereof made by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2013, which were also prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company’s Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility and authority for approving quarterly financial statements and MD&A to its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee approved these Interim Financial Statements on 8 May 2014.

3. Critical Judgments and Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to judgments, estimates and assumptions are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing these Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2013.

The principal assets of Visionaire are its shareholdings in two separate, privately owned, offshore oil and gas service providers, both based in Bergen, Norway. Visionaire owns a 49% equity interest in VTT Maritime AS and a 41% equity interest in RADA Engineering and Consulting AS.

Fair value of the shares issued   900,000  
Cash acquired   (6,844 )
Payable to related party assumed   1,711  
Non-controlling interest   (69,635 )
Equity income from affiliate   37,143  
Value of investment on 30 June 2013 $ 862,375  

The movement in the investment is as follows:

Value of investment on 30 June 2013   862,375  
Equity income (loss) from affiliate   (382,258 )
Foreign currency translation   (5,221 )
Value of investment on 31 March 2014 $ 474,896  

As at 31 March 2014, a total of $68,429 was receivable from an affiliate. The amount is presented as long-term receivable in the statement of financial position.

5. Loans

On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The note principal was convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company. Any unpaid interest thereupon is also convertible, at the option of the holder, at the same conversion rate. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 22 September 2013, the original maturity date.

The note originally accumulated interest at a rate of 10% per annum or at 15% per annum in the event of default of payment. On 21 November 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that increased the interest rate retroactively to 18%, extended the maturity date to 21 March 2013, and reduced the conversion price from $0.08 to $0.05 per share. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $1,000.

On 21 May 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 21 September 2013, extended the term of the additional consideration warrants to 21 March 2015, and reduced the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.08.This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $1,000 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $16,719.

On 4 October 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 15 November 2013. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $8,500.

On 12 December 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 31 January 2014 and reduced the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.05. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $31,500 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $10,782.

On 31 March 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder that extended the maturity date to 30 April 2014 and extended the term of the additional consideration warrants to 31 December 2015. This amendment to the terms of the note resulted in an incremental value of $6,000 and the amendment to the terms of the additional consideration warrants resulted in an incremental value of $7,031.

The incremental value of the conversion rights of the note and the additional consideration warrants were calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to identify and conclude oil, gas, and alternative energy investments with a likelihood of success. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s growth and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the energy and resource markets, the climate for investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management.

The Company may not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative and new business development activities over the next twelve months. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company has no history of profitable operations and is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

There is no certainty that the money the Company spends on new business development or that the investments it makes will result in significant revenue growth to the Company. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be related to the success of its investments and the performance of current and future affiliates, all of whom may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company.





The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to judgments, estimates and assumptions are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing the Company’s Interim Financial Statements, significant judgments may be made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments as at 31 March 2014 consist of cash, receivables, included long-term receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable to related party and convertible debt. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value. There were no off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Cash, other than the minor amounts of Indonesian Rupiahs and Norwegian Krone, consist solely of cash deposits with major Canadian banks. The Company does not use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates involving the Canadian dollar, Indonesian Rupiah or Norwegian Krone

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue new business development and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. The Company's principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and receivables.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the period ended 31 March 2014.
