NOTES TO THE INTERIMFINANCIALSTATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management and expressed in US Dollars)
31 DECEMBER 2016
1. | Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
Continental Energy Corporation (“Continental” or 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 has historically been engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties but has begun diversifying its business into a broader range upstream and downstream oil and gas activities. These include new small-scale, distributed oil refineries and gas-turbine power plant developments fully integrated with smaller and stranded oil and gas production in underserved local markets.
As at 23 June 2017, the Company had completed the audits, financial reports, and made all of the regulatory filings to remedy and cure a cease trade order issued on 4 November 2015 by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC"). The order was issued because the Company was at that time deficient in its regulatory requirements involving the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2015. The order prohibits trading of the Company’s securities in Canada until the deficiency is cured by the Company filing the required delinquent financial reports and a revocation order is issued by the BCSC.
In addition to the audited statements for the year ended 30 June 2015, the Company must also prepare and file the same for the year ended 30 June 2016, plus the six interim quarterly financial reports for the three fiscal quarters ended 31 March 2016 and the three quarters ended 31 March 2017. The Company completed its annual audits and filed both its delinquent Fiscal 2015 report on 24 May 2017 and this Fiscal 2016 report on 21 June 2017. Three of the six delinquent interim reports for the three quarters ended 31 March 2016 were completed and filed on 20 June 2017.
The remaining interim reports for the three quarters ended 31 March 2017 were completed and filed on 23 June 2017. These last reports complete the requirements to remedy and cure the deficiency which led to the cease trade order. The Company intends to immediately apply to the BCSC for a revocation order.
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 flows. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire and develop its projects as well as fund ongoing administration expenses. There are no assurances that sufficient funding will be available.
Management intends to obtain additional funding by issuing common shares 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 raising capital for future expenditures or acquisitions.
These uncertainties indicate the existence of material uncertainty that cast significant doubt on 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 financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2016, which were also prepared in accordance with the same methods of application and include all of the Company’s accounting policies and other required disclosures.
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 23 June 2017.

NOTES TO THE INTERIMFINANCIALSTATEMENTS
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management and expressed in US Dollars)
31 DECEMBER 2016
These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and presented in United States (“US”) dollars, the functional currency of the Company, except where otherwise indicated.
3. | Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments |
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 financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2016.
4. | Convertible Debt |
Total | ||||

Interest | 22,685 | |||
Balance on 31 December 2016 | 487,699 |
On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. As additional consideration, the Company also issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) to the note holder.
The Company has since entered into multiple arrangements with the note holder for amendment of the terms of the convertible promissory note and the additional consideration warrants. As at 31 December 2016, the promissory note paid interest at 18% per annum and could be converted to the common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share. The additional consideration warrants were exercisable at $0.05 per common share and expired on 31 December 2015 without being exercised.
The maturity date of the convertible promissory note was 30 September 2014 and therefore the note is in default as of the date of these Interim Financial Statements.

As an incentive for the $10,000 loan from a director (Note 6), the Company issued on 13 October 2015 to the director, 2,000,000 share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expiry date of 31 December 2017. The Company calculated the fair value of these warrants to be $26,200 which was charged to the statement of loss as share-based payments.
The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions:
Expected dividend yield | Nil | ||
Expected stock price volatility | 86% | ||

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Quarter Ended on 31 December 2016
The End of the Second Quarter and Six (6) Months Period of Fiscal 2017
This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared by the management of Continental Energy Corporation (the "Company") as of 23 June 2017 (the "Report Date").
This MD&A is intended to supplement and complement the unaudited, condensed, interim, consolidated quarterly financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") that are also prepared by management and filed herewith.
This MD&A, and the Interim Financial Statements filed herewith, pertain to the quarter and three (3) months ended 31 December 2016, a period of time hereinafter referred to as "This Quarter".
This Quarter corresponds to the Company's "Second Quarter" and also marks the completion of the initial six (6) months period of the Company's fiscal year ("Fiscal 2017") which shall end on 30 June 2017.
All financial information presented herein, and in the Interim Financial Statements, has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board. All amounts disclosed are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
PART - 1 : NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company is an emerging developer of conventional and alternative energy capacity integrated with upstream and downstream petroleum supply within the Republic of Indonesia. Why Indonesia? Already a G20 member, Indonesia is predicted by the World Bank to grow to the 4thlargest economy in the world by 2045.
PART - 2 : HIGHLIGHT EVENTS DURING THIS QUARTER
Significant events which may have a material effect on the business affairs of the Company that have occurred during This Quarter are summarized below:
Corporate Activity
The Company explored new opportunities in its core business areas and searched for new sources of capital during This Quarter.
Small Scale Refinery Opportunity
In August and November 2016, Indonesia’s Energy Ministry issued new regulations opening up, for the first time, the crude oil refining and distribution business to private sector companies. The new regulations provide for substantial fiscal incentives and perpetual licenses to private companies to build, own, and operate "Small Scale Refineries or SSRs". SSRs are defined as having a maximum capacity of 20,000 barrels per day and are intended to be co-located with existing domestic crude oil production to both stimulate more oil production by reducing crude oil transport costs and provide refined fuel products to local domestic markets at reduced or eliminated import costs.
As an incentive to SSR operators, these crude and products transport costs savings may be passed through to the SSR operator in the form of a reduced feedstock price agreed by the Energy Ministry in the license, for locally produced crude oil delivered at the SSR plant gate.
Indonesia is taking a page from the global power generation industry, who has come to the realization that multiple small-scale, geographically distributed refining capacity is simply more cost efficient and provides more direct local and regional economic benefits than a few huge-scale refineries requiring multi-billion dollar investment.
This is a completely new business opening, with no large players or competitive actors already in the market or expected to appear. The opportunity lies with smaller companies who can put together the technical expertise, Indonesian operating knowledge, and financial packages needed.
The Company's 20+ years of Indonesian oil and gas operating experience and relationship building put it in a unique position to take advantage of these SSR opportunities. To this end the Company entered into, during late 2016, four Memorandums of Understanding with private Indonesian company partners to jointly pursue SSR licenses vertically integrated with, and co-located with, upstream crude oil feedstock from four production sharing contract areas operated by the partners.
Director Resignation
Effective upon 30 December 2016, Mr. John Tate resigned from the Company's board of directors to pursue his own business interests.

As at 23 June 2017, the Company had completed the audits, financial reports, and made all of the regulatory filings to remedy and cure a cease trade order issued on 4 November 2015 by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC").

The order prohibits trading of the Company’s securities in Canada until the deficiency is cured by the Company filing the required delinquent financial reports and a revocation order is issued by the BCSC.

The remaining interim reports for the three quarters ended 31 March 2017 were completed and filed herewith on 23 June 2017.

Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s business 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 favorable terms, the Company’s business activity levels increase.
Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized assets and its investments. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized assets when 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 properties and investments for any indications of impairment.
Non-cash costs such as those attributable to calculated valuations of share based payments expenses also affect the size of the Company’s quarterly income (loss).
PART - 7 : COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current and Comparative Periods

PART - 8 : LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As at the end of This Quarter, the Company’s Interim Financial Statements reflected an increase in the working capital deficiency of $183,184 from 30 June 2016, the end of the previous fiscal year. The working capital deficiency of $1,282,380 as at 30 June 2016 was increased to $1,465,564 by the end of This Quarter.
The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to develop new business opportunities which become profitable. 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 develop new business opportunities 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 such funds, including the health of the capital markets, the climate for investment in the sectors the Company is considering, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management.
The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative requirements and new business development objectives over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including providing for new opportunities as they arise. 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.
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 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 This Quarter or period.
PART - 9 : RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has no history of profitable operations and is currently in the early stages of its development. 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 to take advantage of further growth and development of new opportunities and 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 growth or new opportunity development.
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.
PART - 10 : RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
10 . 1 Transactions With Related Parties And Related Party Balances
At the end of This Quarter, $747,083 (30 June 2016 - $616,976) was payable to the CEO and the CFO of the Company. This amount is included in accounts payable and is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment.
10 . 2 Compensation Of Key Management Personnel
During the three (3) months quarter and the six (6) months fiscal period ended 31 December 2016, the Company paid or accrued salaries, fees or other compensation to the CEO and the CFO of the Company in the amount of $75,000 and $63,647, respectively (2015 - $75,000 and $60,000, respectively).
PART - 11 : MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND EVENTS
11 . 1 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At the end of This Quarter, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements not already disclosed elsewhere in this MD&A or in the Interim Financial Statements.
11 . 2 Material Contracts & Commitments
During This Quarter, no new material contracts or commitments were undertaken, not elsewhere disclosed in this MD&A or in the Interim Financial Statements for the period.
11 . 3 Investor Relations, Publicity and Promotion
During This Quarter, no material new arrangements, or modifications to existing agreements, were made by the Company for investor relations services, publicity, promotion or advertising agreements which are not otherwise already disclosed in this MD&A or the Interim Financial Statements.
11 . 4 Financial Advice, New Business Consulting, Finder's Agreements, & Fund Raising
During This Quarter, no material new arrangements, or modifications to existing agreements, were made by the Company for investor relations services, publicity, promotion or advertising agreements which are not otherwise already disclosed in this MD&A or the Interim Financial Statements.
11 . 5 Claims, Contingencies & Litigation
As at the Report Date, the Company is in default of repayment of an unsecured $250,000 promissory note convertible into common shares of the Company. The Company has offered the holder terms for converting a portion of the note in accordance with its provisions together with extending its term. There are no guarantees that these discussions will result in a resolution mutually acceptable to the Company and the note holder. Except for the foregoing and any contingencies elsewhere disclosed herein, or in the Interim Financial Statements for This Quarter published herewith, the Company knows of no material, active or pending claims or legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation that might materially adversely affect the Company or a property interest of the Company.
PART - 12 : CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of 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 the related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates applied in the preparation of its Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2016.
PART - 13 : FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments as at the end of This Quarter, consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the convertible debt. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term maturity. There were no off-balance sheet financial instruments.
Cash, other than minor amounts of Indonesian Rupiahs, consist solely of cash deposits with major Canadian banks. The Company therefore considers its credit risk to be low. The Company does not use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates involving Canadian dollar and Indonesian Rupiah. However, as the Company holds its funds primarily in US dollars, the risk of foreign exchange loss is considered low by the Company’s management.
PART - 14 : CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE AND FILINGS
