NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2012

NOTE 2: CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

a) Permit WA-424-P

A binding farm-out agreement was entered into on 28 September 2012 with Cal Energy Resources

(Australia) Limited in relation to area WA-424-P and the contract previously entered into with AGR

Petroleum Services for drilling of the Pryderi Prospect exploration well. Cal Energy Resources

(Australia) Limited are to find 100% of the cost of drilling the Pryderi Prospect exploration well

previously disclosed as a capital commitment to IPB Petroleum Limited in return for a 25% interest

in the permit.

b) Permit WA-471-P

As part of the binding farm-out agreement entered into on 28 September 2012 with Cal Energy

Resources (Australia) Limited, an Option exists for a 25% interest in permit WA-471-P, available to

be exercised for a nominal cost at any point within 3 months of the date of the Pryderi Prospect

well being drilled. IPB Petroleum Limited would remain operator of this permit should the Option

be exercised.

NOTE 3: OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Other non-current assets refers to expenses held as capital under AASB 6 – Exploration for and

evaluation of mineral resources. Expenditure held as such is vastly due to seismic exploration and

study in area WA-424-P.

a) Farm-out agreement with Cal Energy

As part of the binding farm-out agreement entered into on 28 September 2012 with Cal Energy

Resources (Australia) Limited, IPB Petroleum Limited received reimbursement of expenditure taken

up as capital in nature per AASB 6 (exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources). As this

standard acts to hold expenditure that would be capital in nature should successful development of

the asset occur, $80,000 previously included in this value has been removed as it has not been

incurred by IPB Petroleum Limited or its consolidated entities in exploration and evaluation of

permit WA-424-P.

b) Capitalisation of items previously written off

During the financial year ended 30 June 2012, $322,790 was written off as consultancy expenditure.

During the 6 months to 31 December 2012 it became apparent these items were capital in nature and

have thus been correctly transferred from retained earnings to other non-current assets. The value of

capitalised consultancy expenditure for the 6 months ended 31 December 2012 was $146,113.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Foreign currency translations and balances (Continued)

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arisingunder foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) aretranslated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year.

Except for certain foreign currency hedges, all resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year.

Entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:

• Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

• Income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates or average exchange rates for the period,

where appropriate; and

• All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

(d) Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account theinterest rates applicable to the financial assets.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(e) Income tax

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on theapplicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates whenthe assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. No deferred tax asset or liability isrecognised in relation to temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a businesscombination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it isprobable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recogniseddirectly in equity.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulateddepreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(g) Exploration expenditure

Exploration for and evaluation of hydrocarbon resources is the search for hydrocarbon resources after theentities have obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technicalfeasibility and commercial viability of extracting the hydrocarbon resource. Accordingly, exploration andevaluation expenditures are those expenditures incurred by the entities in connection with the exploration forand evaluation of hydrocarbon resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability ofextracting hydrocarbon resources are demonstrable.

Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures is assessed separately for each ‘area of interest’. An‘area of interest’ is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environmentfor the presence of a hydrocarbon deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit. Expenditure incurredon activities that precede exploration and evaluation of hydrocarbon resources, including all expenditureincurred prior to securing legal rights to explore an area, is expensed as incurred. For each area of interest theexpenditure is recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset where the following conditions are satisfied:

a) The rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

b) At least one of the following conditions is also met:

(i) the expenditure is expected to be recouped through successful development and commercial exploitationof an area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or

(ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at reporting date, reached a stagewhich permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of ‘economically recoverablereserves’ and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Economically recoverable reserves are the estimated quantity of product in an area of interestthat can be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under current and foreseeableconditions.

Exploration and evaluation assets include:

• Acquisition of rights to explore;

• Topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical activities and studies;

• Exploratory drilling, trenching, and sampling; and

• Activities and studies in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability ofextracting the hydrocarbon resource.

General and administrative costs are allocated to, and included in, the cost of exploration and evaluationassets only to the extent that those costs can be related directly to the operational activities in the area ofinterest to which the exploration and evaluation assets relate. In all other instances, these costs are expensedas incurred.

When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of a hydrocarbon resource has beendemonstrated then any capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalisedmining and project development expenditure. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and evaluation

expenditure is assessed for impairment.

In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of novalue, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made. Aregular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carryforward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Impairment testing of exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determinetechnical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amountexceeds the recoverable amount.

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts andcircumstances exist:

• The term of exploration license in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period orwill expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;

• Substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of hydrocarbon resources in the specificarea are not budgeted nor planned;

• Exploration for and evaluation of hydrocarbon resources in the specific area have not led to the discoveryofcommercially viable quantities of hydrocarbon resources and the decision was made to discontinue suchactivities in the specified area; or

• Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, thecarrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successfuldevelopment or by sale.

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash-generating-unit which isno larger than the area of interest.

(h) Impairment

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment in accordancewith AASB 136. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairmentwhenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

It is noted in accordance with AASB 6, paragraph 19, for the purposes of exploration and evaluation assetsonly, paragraph 20 of AASB 6 shall be applied (as outlined above) rather than paragraphs 8-17 of AASB136, except as limited by cash generating unit / operating segment limitations.
