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.

INTEROIL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited Expressed in United States dollars)                   [INTEROIL LOGO]

      InterOil Corporation (the "Company" or InterOil) primary business
      interests and the development of an oil refinery (the "Project"), Oil and
      Gas Exploration in Papua New Guinea ("PNG") and distribution of refined
      petroleum products in PNG.

1.    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.

6. OIL GAS PROPERTIES

      The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil
      and gas exploration and development activities. Direct acquisition costs
      of development properties as well as geological and geophysical costs
      associated with these properties are capitalised. Costs of development and
      exploratory wells that result in additions to proven reserves are also
      capitalised. Costs associated with Retention Licences PRL 4 and PRL 5 have
      been written off in the current quarter. This was due to the non-existence
      of gas contracts and no immediate development plans for these licences.
