EXHIBIT 9 [KPMG LOGO] INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF INTEROIL CORPORATION SCOPE We have reviewed the financial report of InterOil Corporation for the half-year ended 30 June 2004, denominated in US dollars, consisting of the statement of operations, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, statement of shareholders' equity accompanying notes and the directors' declaration. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year. The Company's directors are responsible for the financial report. We have performed the independent review of the financial report in order to state whether, on the basis of procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the financial report is not presented fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in Canada so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the consolidated entity's financial position, and in order for the Company to lodge the financial report with the Australian Stock Exchange. Our review has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. The review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to the financial data. Our review has not involved a study and evaluation of internal accounting controls, tests of accounting records or tests of responses to inquiries by obtaining corroborative evidence from inspection, observation or confirmation. The procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. STATEMENT Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of InterOil Corporation does not present fairly the financial position of the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2004 and its performance for the half-year at that date in accordance with general accepted accounting principles in Canada. /s/ KPMG - ------------------- KPMG /s/Trent van Veen - ----------------- Trent van Veen Partner Signed at Sydney this the 13th day of August 2004 [LOGO] INTEROIL CORPORATION [INTEROIL LOGO] ARBN: 094 136 884 Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited, Expressed in United States dollars) Six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 INTEROIL CORPORATION APPENDIX 4D HALF YEAR REPORT [INTEROIL LOGO] PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2004 RESULTS FOR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET ARBN: 094 136 884 RESULTS %Up/ JUNE 2004 JUNE 2003 (DOWN) $US'000 $US'000 Revenues from ordinary activities >1000% 12,846 42 (Loss) from ordinary activities after tax attributable to members 704% (4,167) (518) Net (loss) for the period attributable to members 704% (4,167) (518) Earnings per common share (0.17) (0.02) Earnings per CDI (0.02) (0.00) DIVIDENDS The company does not propose to pay dividends in the current period.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2004 have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial data is based on accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report except for the following: Stock-based compensation-Prior to January 1, 2004, the Company applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by CICA Handbook Section 3870. Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, only to employee stock appreciation rights, and applied the settlement method of accounting to employee stock options. Under the settlement method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital and no compensation expense was recognised. The CICA Accounting Standards Board has amended CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, to require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method, beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation expense is measured at fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the award's vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under amended Section 3870, the Company has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002, without restatement to prior periods. The effect of retroactively adopting the fair value based method, without restatement is to increase the opening accumulated deficit by $737,650, increase additional paid up capital by $645,216 and increase share capital by $ 92,434. Inventory valuation - Crude oil and refined petroleum products are valued at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realisable value. Cost consists of raw material, labour, direct overheads and transportation. Foreign currency - For subsidiaries considered to be self-sustaining foreign operations, all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance date and all revenue and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses are reported as a separate component of shareholder's equity. For subsidiaries considered to be an integrated foreign operation, monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated to United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at balance date and non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenue and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses are included in income. Deferred financing costs - Deferred financing costs represent the unamortised cost of fees incurred to secure long-term borrowings. Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis, over the term of the related debt and is included in administrative and general expenses for the period. Receivables - The collectability of debts is assessed at reporting date and specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts. 2 SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION JUN-30 JUN-30 2004 2003 $ $ --------- --------- Cash paid during the Period for: Interest - 1,656,451 Income taxes 17,177 13,462 Interest received during the period for non-cash investing and financing activities: 275,263 3,881 Write off Oil and Gas exploration retention licences 1,488,127 Conversion of indirect participation into share capital 7,725,500 3.
