Signet subsequently merged with 1350826 Alberta Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of Andora Energy Corporation, and subsequently 1350826 Alberta Ltd. amalgamated with Andora Energy Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Andora”, a company 71.8% owned by Pan Orient as of November 26, 2012). This Farmout Agreementagreement allowed Surge to earn up to a 40% working interest in the farmout lands (50% of our share). And on November 26, 2007, pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement between us, Andora and Signet, Signet acquired 40% of ourNorthern’s working interest in 12 sections on two oil sands leases. As part of the transfer to Signet of the 40% working interest, two of the original oil sands leases were split into four oil sands leases.Deep Well, through its subsidiaries, Deep Well Alberta and Northern,we entered into and subsequently closed upon a Purchase and Sale agreement with Deep Well’sour former joint venture partner, 1132559 Alberta Ltd.

We have been advised that, to price bitumen, marketers apply formulas that take as a reference point the prices published for crude oil of particular qualities such as “Western Canadian Select”, “Brent Crude Oil”, “Crude Bitumen 9 API Plant Gate”, “Edmonton light”, “Lloydminster blend”, or the more internationally known “West Texas Intermediate” (hereinafter referred to as “WTI”).Surge Global Energy, Inc. and Signet (collectively “Surge” now known as Andora)our Former Farmout Partner agreed that our Company would be responsible for the portion of the claimed 6.5% royalty payable by Surge,our Former Farmout Partner, if any, on lands earned under the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005 Farmout Agreement.2005. This liability could arise by virtue of a Royalty Agreement between Northern and Nearshore dated December 12, 2003. This potential obligation of our Company was further modified on November 26, 2007, when it was agreed between our Company and Andoraour Former Farmout Partner that our Company would not be liable or obligated to pay any of this claimed portion of the royalty due, if any, on the 3% portion of the royalty acquired by Andora. TheInvestment The Investment Canada Act requires notification and/or review by the Government of Canada in certain cases, including but not limited to, the acquisition of control of a Canadian Business by a non-Canadian. In certain circumstances, the acquisition of a working interest in a property that contains recoverable reserves will be treated as the acquisition of an interest in a “business” and may be subject to either notification or review, depending on the size of the interest being acquired and the asset size of the business.2011 and 2010.ITEM1 A.RISK FACTORS1020122013 and 20112012 we reported net losses of $2,463,403 and $1,095,050 and $1,688,454 respectively.operatingacquiring regulatory approval for thermal recovery operations on our wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular property. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proven reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproven costs will be charged against earnings as impairments. Our exploitation and development of oil and gas reserves depends upon access to the areas where our operations are to be conducted. We conduct a portion of our operations in regions where we are only able to do so on a seasonal basis. Unless the surface is sufficiently frozen, we are unable to access our properties, drill or otherwise conduct our operations as planned. In addition, if the surface thaws earlier than expected, we must cease our operations for the season earlier than planned. Our operations are affected by road bans imposed from time to time during the break-up and thaw period in the spring. Road bans are also imposed due to spring-break up, heavy rain, mud, rock slides and periods of high water, which can restrict access to our well sites and potential production facility sites. Our inability to access our properties or to conduct our operations as planned will result in a shutdown or slow downslowdown of our operations, which will adversely affect our business.Andora currently operates 12 of our 68 sections in whichCurrently, we have a working interest. Currently, Deep Well, through its subsidiaries, Northern and Deep Well Alberta, currently has a 90% working interest in 51 contiguous sections on sevensix oil sands leases, an 80% working interest in 5 contiguous sections on one oil sands leases,lease, where we are the operator of the 80% and 90% leases. We also have a 50%25% working interest (after the Farmout Agreement dated July 31, 2013) in an additional 12 contiguous sections on two oil sands leases that Andora operates.where one of our joint venture partners is the operator. These nine oil sands leases, which are all contiguous, cover 43,015 gross acres (17,408 gross hectares) where Deep Wellwe currently has 35,360have 33,463 net acres (14,310(13,542 net hectares). All nine oil sands leases are located in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, Canada. Our lack of operational control of the 12 sections, Andora currently operatesnot operated by us, could result in the following:· ·AndoraThe Operator might initiate exploration or development on a faster or slower pace than we prefer;· ·AndoraThe Operator might propose to drill more wells or build more facilities on a project than we have funds for or that we deem appropriate, which could mean that we are unable or decline to participate in the project or share in the revenues generated by the project;· If Andorathe Operator refuses to initiate a project on these 12 sections, we might be unable to pursue a project on those sections unless we directly pay the entire cost thereof. In such a scenario, the Joint Operating Agreements governing the relationship of the joint interest owners in Sawn Lake allow usa party to recoup the costs which we payare paid on behalf of other non-participating joint owners in addition to penalties because of their non-participation.Some Lawsuitsa Lawsuit And Will Be Adversely Affected If We Are Found To Be Liable In Connection With Any Legal Proceedings.We are party to some lawsuitsa lawsuit described in this annual report on Form 10-K under the heading “Legal Proceedings”. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in the lawsuits,lawsuit, and while we believe that the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, the commencement or outcome of any future proceedings against us, or whether any such proceeding would lead to monetary damages that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position.ERCBAER governs our operations in Alberta, Canada and they have implemented a new directive (Directive 056) that the Alberta Government issued its First Nations Consultation Policy on Land Management and Resource Development on May 16, 2005. The ERCBAER expects that all industry applicants must adhere to this policy and the consultation guidelines. These requirements and expectations apply to the licensing of all new energy developments and all modifications to existing energy developments, as covered in Directive 056. In the policy, the Alberta Government has developed consultation guidelines to address specific questions about how consultation for land management and resource development should occur in relation to specific activities. Prior to filing an application, the applicant must address all questions, objections, and concerns regarding the proposed development project and attempt to resolve them. This includes concerns and objections raised by members of the public, industry, government representatives, First Nations, Métis, and other interested parties. This process can cause significant delays in obtaining a drilling permit for exploration and/or a production well license for both oil and gas.tointo the environment. As well, environmental regulations are imposed on the qualities and compositions of the products sold and imported. Environmental legislation also requires that wells, facility sites and other properties associated with our operations be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. In addition, certain types of operations, including exploration and development projects and significant changes to certain existing projects, may require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Compliance with environmental legislation can require significant expenditures, and failure to comply with environmental legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties and liability for clean upcleanup costs and damages. We cannot assure that the costs of complying with environmental legislation in the future will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We anticipate that changes in environmental legislation may require, among other things, reductions in emissions to the air from its operations and result in increased capital expenditures. Future changes in environmental legislation could occur and result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.ITEM 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSITEM 2.PROPERTIESthethis lease expiresexpired on December 31, 2013.

Under these agreements our joint oil sands leases were evaluated seismically, geologically and by drilling to establish the continuity and the distribution of the crude bituminous-bearing Bluesky reservoir zone across our joint lands.Effective December 3, 2012, we entered into and subsequently closed upon a purchase and sale agreement with 113, one of our former joint venture partners, pursuant to which we acquired 113’s 10% working interest in the Sawn Lake heavy oil reservoir in the Peace River area of Alberta. This acquisition increased our net acreage from 12,698 net hectares to 14,310 net hectares, an increase of 12.7%.During the year ended September 30, 2012, we evaluated the options for production available to us to determine the preferable course of action for our Sawn Lake project. Being able to drill on lands now owned 90% by us has opened new avenues for testing and further development of our Sawn Lake project. We have worked with three independent reservoir engineering and modeling companies to prepare analyses of the Sawn Lake Bluesky reservoir resulting in the reservoir modeling simulation studies to determine the optimum strategy for us to develop our reservoir. Following these reservoir models and the recommendation of our independent reservoir engineers, we intend to develop a thermal recovery project on our properties, followed by a commercial expansion project. To further this goal our environmental consultants have completed an environmental assessment, as mandated by Alberta environmental regulations, in and around our proposed thermal recovery project located on our now 90% owned lands. We have also engaged drilling, completion and facilities engineers who have begun the planning and pre-drilling work for our HCSS pad site facility and horizontal well paths on the North half of section 10-92-13W5M. The development progress of our properties is governed by several factors such as federal and provincial governmental regulations. Long lead times in getting regulatory approval for thermal recovery projects are commonplace in our industry. Road bans, winter access only roads and environmental regulations can and often do delay development of similar projects. Because of these and other factors, our oil sands project can take significantly longer to complete than regular conventional drilling programs for lighter oil. Todate;To date; our geological, engineering and economic studies lead us to believe that our working interest can support full profitable commercial production.2012,2005, Deep Well, Northern and Surge mutually agreed by an amending agreement to extend the payment date of the prospect fee under Article 13 of the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, whereby Surge was granted an extension for payment of the prospect fee to the closing date of March 18, 2005.· the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, being effectively terminated concurrently with the execution of the settlement agreement; and · our Former Farmout Partner being regarded as having earned the two sections on which the option wells were drilled and 4 additional sections as set out in the Settlement; and · our Former Farmout Partner being required to reconvey registered title to 57.5 unearned sections of the Farmout Lands, as defined in the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, back to us; and · our Company having the right to retest the option wells previously drilled. · Andora has acknowledged that Deep Well is not responsible for any potential royalty assumed by Deep Well on behalf of our Former Farmout Partner in the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005.

This modification seeks to changeleases in the vertical CSS well earlier approved, into aSawn Lake area based on using thermal recovery project to test 2 wells that use a horizontal application of CSS.Our proposed thermal recovery project will be located on the north half of section 10-92-13W5, which has good road access on hard packed roads recently built by Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (“Penn West”). The proposed thermal recovery project location is approximately 1.4 kilometers away from the nearest Penn West road. We intend to upgrade our existing winter road to section 10-92-13W5 to an all-weather road. We also intend to acquire the remaining road and build it as an all-weather road up to the proposed thermal recovery project site.Past ActivitiesOn April 26, 2004, Northern (now a 100% owned subsidiary of Deep Well) signed a Joint Operating Agreement with Pan Orient to provide for the manner of conducting operations on three Peace River oil sands leases for a total of 32 sections covering 20,243 gross acres (8,192 gross hectares). The 32 sections were acquired jointly on April 23, 2004, with Northern having an 80% working interest and Pan Orient having a 20% working interest in the joint lands.On August 18, 2004, Deep Well and Pan Orient jointly participated in a public offering of Crown Oil Sands Rights held by the Alberta Department of Energy, in which the joint parties successfully bid on three Peace River oil sands leases for a total of 31 sections covering 19,610 gross acres (7,936 gross hectares). Deep Well acquired an undivided 80% working interest and Pan Orient acquired an undivided 20% working interest in the joint property.On December 9, 2004, Deep Well signed Joint Operating Agreements with 113 under which 113 acknowledged the terms under which their 10% working interest acquired from Pan Orient in the joint lands acquired on August 18, 2004, would be governed.On February 25, 2005, as previously disclosed in this annual report on Form 10-K, Deep Well and Northern entered into a Farmout Agreement with Surge. This Farmout Agreement allowed Surge (previously known as Signet and now known as Andora) to earn up to a 40% working interest in the farmout lands (50% of our share). And on November 26, 2007, pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement between us, Andora and Signet, Signet acquired 40% of our working interest in 12 sections on two oil sands leases. As part of the 40% working interest transfer to Signet, two of the original oil sands leases previously acquired on April 26, 2004, were split into four oil sands leases.On March 3, 2005, Deep Well, Northern and Surge mutually agreed by an amending agreement to extend the payment date of the prospect fee under Article 13 of the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, whereby Surge was granted an extension for payment of the prospect fee to the closing date of March 18, 2005.On March 10, 2005, Deep Well, Northern and Surge mutually agreed by an amending agreement that Surge US is only a party to the Farmout Agreement for the purposes of Article 14 of the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005. In addition, all three parties mutually agreed by an amending agreement to establish a procedure whereby Signet is to be appointed as the operator under the existing Joint Operating Agreements in respect of all Farmout Lands in which Signet earns an interest pursuant to Article 7 of the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005.On July 14, 2005, our Company and Surge mutually agreed to amend the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005 in order to extend the date to spud the first well until September 25, 2005.On September 21, 2005, Signet was granted a permit by the ERCB for a test well, and on September 28, 2005, Signet began drilling our first well 1-36-091-13W5 (hereinafter referred to as “1-36”) on our Sawn Lake project located in the Peace River oil sands of Alberta, Canada. Signet did not spud the first well by the 25th of September 2005 and we noted them in default of the Farmout Agreement.On November 15, 2005, as part of a settlement agreement, we agreed to amend the Farmout Agreement signed on February 25, 2005 between our Company and Surge that had previously been terminated by Deep Well (as previously disclosed on Form 8-K on September 29, 2005). The amendments to the agreement provided that: 1.) all current conditions of the Farmout Agreement will be deemed to have been satisfied as at September 25, 2005; 2.) the earning period (the period during which Signet has to drill 10 wells) under the agreement will be extended until February 25, 2008; 3.) Signet will have until September 25, 2006 to drill an option well (the second well); 4.) an additional 6.5 sections of land will be added to the land subject to the agreement; 5.) Signet will pay Deep Well $1,000,000 on November 15, 2005 in satisfaction of the prospect fee outstanding instead of after drilling the second well as stated in the Farmout Agreement; and 6.) no shares of Surge US would be issued to Deep Well or Northern, but rather we would receive 7,550,000 common shares of Signet (now known as Andora), a private subsidiary company of Surge US.On July 17, 2006, Signet had received the required licenses by the Government of Alberta to drill the next three horizontal wells in the Bluesky Formation of our Sawn Lake oil sands project. The next 3 wells drilled were within less than one mile (1.6 km) of the first test well that was already drilled. These surface locations were 4-32-091-12W5 (hereinafter referred to as “4-32”), 7-30-091-12W5 (hereinafter referred to as “7-30”) and 13-29-091-12W5 (hereinafter referred to as “13-29”). Seismic and reservoir mapping were undertaken to be used to support and progress work on near and long-term plans of development for our Sawn Lake oil sands project.In October 2006, the 4-32 and 7-30 wells along with the 1-36 well were suspended. Signet (now known as Andora) had undertaken a mapping of the reservoir to assist in its delineation for any future development of our Sawn Lake property. The first three wells were drilled in the most heavily documented portion of the Sawn Lake lands. Although, as determined by Signet, the preliminary results from the last two wells indicated a lack of cold flow production from wells 4-32 and 7-30, the compartmentalized nature of the reservoir and varying characteristics of these compartments may show different results with further evaluation. Our Company felt that the level of testing on these wells to determine their complete potential was incomplete.In late 2006, our joint venture partner acquired over 200 km of reprocessed seismic and aeromagnetic studies on our joint properties.On November 26, 2007, we entered into mediation with Signet (now known as Andora) and resolved our differences and certain collateral matters. The settlement included but is not limited to:·the Farmout Agreement dated February 25, 2005, being effectively terminated concurrently with the execution of the settlement agreement; and·Signet being regarded as having earned the two sections on which the option wells were drilled and 4 additional sections as set out in the Settlement; and·Signet being required to reconvey registered title to 57.5 unearned sections of the Farmout Lands, as defined in the Farmout Agreement, back to us; and·our Company having the right to retest, at no cost to Signet, the option wells previously drilled.·Andora has acknowledged that Deep Well is not responsible for any potential royalty assumed by Deep Well on behalf of Signet in the Farmout Agreement.On March 18, 2008, the 6.5 section oil sands permit, which was originally scheduled to expire on April 9, 2008, was extended for one year pursuant to an application submitted by Northern to the Alberta Department of Energy.On September 10, 2008, the ERCB granted us well licenses to drill 6 wells on our Sawn Lake oil sands properties.On December 1, 2008, in conjunction with our 2008/2009 winter drilling program, we acquired two vertical wells they previously drilled along with existing road infrastructure. Of the two wells we acquired, one was drilled to a vertical depth of 737 meters on our existing oil sands lease and was cased for Bluesky heavy oil production. The casing of this well was perforated at intervals from 681.5m to 684.5m and 684.5m to 685.0m. This well’s status is drilled and cased for future bitumen production. The existing roads we acquired totalled 12km of access on our Sawn Lake properties.On December 4, 2008, we successfully spudded the first well of six wells to be drilled in our 2008/2009 Sawn Lake winter drilling program in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta. By early February of 2009, we successfully drilled all planned six wells of our Sawn Lake oil sands project. All of our exploratory wells were logged, cored and analyzed by independent service providers and are currently being evaluated for in-situ recovery methods.On February 1, 2009, we acquired additional existing access roads on our Sawn Lake properties from Penn West Petroleum Ltd., adding 8.7 km of roads to our Sawn Lake infrastructure.During our winter drilling season of 2008/2009 we successfully completed a drilling program and met our objectives by drilling six vertical wells, three of which were drilled on our oil sands permit in order to provide technical data to support the required Alberta Department of Energy regulation to convert our 5-year oil sands permit into a 15-year primary lease. The other three wells were drilled further to the North of any of our existing wells confirming the continuation of the main reservoir trend to the northwest. These wells were drilled to a depth of approximately 700 meters each. Along with the acquisition of road infrastructure on our properties, we acquired a well on our oil sands lease that was previously drilled and cased, for heavy oil production in the Bluesky reservoir zone, by an unrelated third party. In addition, we currently have working interests in three horizontal wells, which were previously drilled by our former farmout partner and are pending further evaluation and the development of an exploitation plan with our joint interest partner. All of our exploratory wells were logged, cored and analyzed by independent expert service providers.On April 30, 2009, the Alberta Department of Energy approved our application to convert 5 sections of our oil sands permit to a 15-year primary lease. By drilling on these lands where the permits were set to expire, we have preserved title to 5 sections and now have a primary lease, which is valid for an additional 15 years.In September 2009, we submitted an application to the ERCB for a commercial bitumen recovery scheme to evaluate the 12-14-092-13W5 well for potential development using CSS and later we added the 6-22-092-13W5 well to the application, and in late 2010 this application was approved by the ERCB to test one of the wells using steam injection.In July 2010, Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. performed an independent technical evaluation of the heavy oil properties on some of our Sawn Lake properties. The report confirmed the suitability of the properties for employing thermal recovery methods on them. In addition, Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. identified a new hydrocarbon bearing zone up-hole from the Bluesky zone presently being concentrated on by our Company. This secondary heavy oil zone is in the Peace River formation. It is a clastic unit of lower cretaceous age found at a shallower depth than the Bluesky zone. It is approximately 35 meters thick and is a massive, very fine to medium grain sandstone conformably deposited on the Harmon Shale. We intend to continue the development of the Bluesky reservoir and at the same time we intend to evaluate this newly discovered reservoir by coring future wells within this zone.In December 2010 and January 2011, two separate independent reservoir engineering firms prepared National Instrument 51-101 (a Canadian evaluation engineering standard) compliant resource appraisal reports for one of our joint venture partners. These reports evaluated the resource of some of our Sawn Lake joint properties and included an economic evaluation of the oil sands leases in the Sawn Lake area based on using thermal recovery to exploit the resource.ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS“Defendants”“IGM Defendants”) a Statement of Claim in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary.

Depreciation expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. In compliance with our accounting policy, only half of the depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition. No significant asset purchases were made in the year ending September 30, 2012.For the year ended September 30, 2012, rental and other income increased by $45,761 compared to the year ended September 30, 2011, which was primarily due to cash received for subleasing a portion of our office space and income earned from road use fees.As a result of the above transactions, our net loss and comprehensive loss from operations for the year ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $593,404 compared to the year ended September 30, 2011. As discussed above this decrease was primarily due to a reduction in share-based compensation charged to expenses and the reversal of write-offs to bad debt expense for money owed to us from our joint venture co-owners, which were subsequently collected.OperationsEffective November 23, 2012, we completed a private placement financing with one investor for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $3,000,000 (includes a deposit received prior to September 30, 2012 of $300,000).subsequently closed upon a purchasePurchase and saleSale agreement with 1132559 Alberta Ltd.

Our proposed thermal recovery project will be located on the north half of section 10-92-13W5, which has good road access on hard packed roads recently built by a third party. The proposed thermal recovery project location is approximately 1.4 kilometers away from the nearest hard packed road.Deep Well Alberta, currentlyin connection to the SAGD Project agreement dated July 30, 2013, we entered into a Water Rights Conveyance Agreement whereby we acquired a 25% working interest in one water source well and one water disposal well for a cost of $425,000 Cdn, which in turn was reimbursed to our Company by the Farmee. We also received a cash call in the amount of $1,058,568 Cdn for the expenditures relating to the water source well, water disposal well and pipelines to connect them to the SAGD Project surface facility. Our Farmee has since paid this cash call in the amount of $1,058,568 Cdn pursuant to the Farmout Agreement dated July 31, 2013.contiguous sections on sevensix oil sands leases and aan 80% working interest in 5 contiguous sections on one oil sands lease in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, where we are the operator. In addition, we have a 50%25% working interest, after the Farmout Agreement dated July 31, 2013, in another 12 contiguous sections on two oil sands leases in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, Canada.Currently we have in place joint operating agreements with one joint interest partner to manage our joint These nine oil sands leases which are all based on the 1990 Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (“CAPL”) Operating Procedure. Under these agreements our joint oil sands leases were evaluated seismically, geologicallycontiguous and by drilling to establish the continuity and the distribution of the crude bituminous-bearing Bluesky reservoir zone across our joint lands.During the year ended September 30, 2012 we evaluated the historically documented options for production methods available to us to determine the preferable course of action for our Sawn Lake project. After the 113 acquisition being able to drill and develop on lands now owned 90% by us, without having to carry a joint interest co-owner who had never paid its share of the costs incurred for the joint account, has economically opened new avenues for testing and further development of our Sawn Lake project. we have worked with three independent reservoir engineering and modeling companies to prepare analyses of the Sawn Lake Bluesky reservoir resulting in the reservoir modeling simulation studies to determine the optimum strategy for us to develop our reservoir. Following these reservoir models and the recommendation of our independent reservoir engineers, we intend to develop a thermal recovery project on our properties, followed by a commercial expansion project. To further this goal our environmental consultants have completed an environmental assessment as mandated by Alberta environmental regulations, in and around our proposed thermal recovery project located on our now 90% owned lands. We have also engaged drilling, completion and facilities engineers who have begun the planning and pre-drilling work for our HCSS pad site facility and designing our proposed horizontal well paths on the North half of section 10-92-13W5M.cover 43,015 gross acres (17,408 gross hectares). The development progress of our properties is governed by several factors such as federal and provincial governmental regulations. Long lead times in getting regulatory approval for thermal recovery projects are commonplace in our industry. Road bans, winter access only roads and environmental regulations can and often do delay development of similar projects. Because of these and other factors, our oil sands project can take significantly longer to complete than regular conventional drilling programs for lighter oil. To date; our geological, engineering and economic studies affirm that our working interest can support full profitable commercial production.On February 3, 2012, we submitted an application to the ERCB to modify our previously approved in-situ pilot project for a well to test thermal production on our Sawn Lake oil sands leases. This modification seeks to change the vertical CSS well earlier approved, into a thermal recovery project to test 2 wells that use a horizontal application of CSS.On April 16, 2012, we received a reserves report as of December 31, 2011 from DeGolyer & MacNaughton Canada Limited (“DeGolyer”) an independent third party reservoir engineering firm. This report estimated the heavy oil reserves from the working interests held by our subsidiaries in the Peace River Oil Sands area of Alberta. DeGolyer estimated and assigned probable and possible reserves on the north half square mile of land located on section 10-92-13W5 designated for our horizontal CSS recovery project. This half square mile of land covers 316 gross acres (128 gross hectares) of land. DeGolyer has estimated that in that portion alone there are probable reserves of 7,806,000 barrels of heavy oil and probable plus possible reserves of 9,370,000 barrels attributable to our working interests before adjusting for any Provincial or potential royalties. These estimated probable plus possible reserves are classified as undeveloped at this time. Proved reserves cannot be assigned until production begins.Proved Reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and governmental regulations.Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil discovered.Our proposed thermal recovery project will be located on the north half of section 10-92-13W5 which has good road access on hard packed roads recently built by Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (“Penn West”). The proposed thermal recovery project location is approximately 1.4 kilometers away from the nearest Penn West road. We intend to upgrade our existing winter road to section 10-92-13W5 to an all-weather road. We also intend to acquire the remaining road and build it as an all-weather road up to the proposed thermal recovery project site.2012,2013, our total assets were $14,235,452$24,366,368 compared to $14,624,096$14,235,452 as of September 30, 2011. The primary decrease in our total assets was due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulting from expenditures associated with our thermal recovery project and general office expenses. Our total liabilities as of September 30, 2012 were $906,674 compared to $608,932 as of September 30, 2011.2012. In comparison to the prior year, we had an increase of $297,742$10,130,916 in our total assets, which was primarily due to (i) an increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from two private placements we completed for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000 and $22,000,000 in exchange for shares of our Company’s common stock; and (ii) an increase in oil gas properties and equipment arising from a Purchase and Sale agreement we entered into with 113, whereby we acquired 113’s 10% working interest in the Sawn Lake leases.the result ofdue to (i) an increase of $205,639$195,561 in our accounts payable from non-related parties, which was primarily due to legal fees paid in connection with the Farmout Agreement we entered into on July 31, 2013; (ii) a note payable in the amount of $189,500 we received from one of our Director’s; and offset by (iii) a decrease of $390,133 in our accounts payable related parties due to payments and the reversal and waiving of past fees owed and accrued to corporations owned by directors for providing services as President, and CEO and Chief Financial Officer provided to our Company that we have not paid.

Currently we have no long-term debt other than our estimated asset retirement obligations on oil and gas properties. Effective November 23, 2012, we completed a private placement financing with one investor for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $3,000,000 (includes a deposit received prior to September 30, 2012 of $300,000).2012,2013, we had a decreasean increase of $185,617 in share-based compensation from the prior$1,645,177 compared to September 30, 2012 year end, which was relatedprimarily due to (i) vested stock options that were grantedcosts charged to our directors, (ii) no further shares were issued under any incentive plan, and (iii) no further shares were issuedexpense relating to any contractor as compensation for services provided to our Company.a Farmout Agreement dated July 31, 2013. For the year ending September 30, 2011,2013, we incurred an increase of $294,281 in share-based compensation, which was related to (i) the issuance of stock options granted to our directors, (ii) shares issued to an individual as an incentive to join our Board as a director, and (iii) shares issued to a contractor as compensation for services provided to our Company. For further information, see Notes 11 and 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. In the year ending September 30, 2011, we wrote-off $170,044 to bad debt. This write-off was in respect of money owed to us by two of our joint venture co-owners that had not paid us for operating expenses we incurred on our joint properties. During the year we pursued remedies to collect the money owed to us from one of our joint venture co-owners, which was previously written off as bad debt, and on October 18, 2012 we entered into a settlement agreement with one of our joint venture co-owners and received and reversed $123,525.90 Cdn of the amounts previously written off. In addition and effective December 3, 2012, the aforementioned acquisition of 113’s 10% working interest will result in an additional reversal of prior period bad debt write-offs. However, since this acquisition agreement occurred well past our year end the reversal of this previous bad debt was not posted in our September 30, 2012 year end; however, we will post it in our subsequent year.Also, as reported on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Operating Activities”, for the year ended September 30, 2012, our depreciation and accretion expense decreased by $33,614 from the prior year ended September 30, 2011, which was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense on our assets. No significant asset purchases were made in the year ending September 30, 2012 and no significant change incurred for accretion expense. For the year ending September 30, 2012 we had an increase of $22,954$272,479 in net changes in non-cash working capital from the prior year ended September 30, 2011,2012, which was primarily due to an increasea decrease in accounts payable due to a reversal and waiving of fees payable to corporationsa corporation owned by directorsa director for providing services as President and CEO and Chief Financial Officer to our Company that we havewere not paid.This was offset by a reversal ofpaid, see Note 9 and Note 15 in the prior year’s bad debt right-off.a declinean increase of $398,963$2,552,865 in our investment in oil and gas properties for the year ended September 30, 20122013 from the comparable year ended September 30, 2011,2012, which was primarily due to a declineresult of (i) the December 3, 2012 Purchase and Sale agreement disclosed herein, whereby we acquired an additional 10% working interest in our field operations and engineering fees fromjoint properties along with a 10% working interest increase in the prior year. .Also, as reported on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Investing Activities”,equipment purchased for the year ended September 30, 2012, we reported an increase of $16,591wells drilled within those joint properties, in long term investments fromexchange for the prior year ended September 30, 2011, which was due tocash among other items as previously disclosed above; and (ii) an increase in interest received, unrealized foreign exchange gain and an adjustment to increase our portion of the bondsCompany’s security deposits held in trust bywith the ERCBAER for theour asset retirement obligations for future abandonment and reclamation of our wells.2012,2013, we recorded to equityhad an increase of $300,000 based on deposits to stock subscriptions relating to the$12,066,435 in net cash provided in financing activities, which was a result of (i) a private placement referred to herein which subsequently closed.

In connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting, a new entity was deemed created for financial reporting purposes. For financial reporting purposes, and Deep Well adopted the provisions of fresh-start reporting effective September 10, 2003. In adopting the requirements of fresh-start reporting as of September 10, 2003,As a result, the company was required to value its assets and liabilities at fair value and eliminate any accumulated deficit as of September 10, 2003. Deep Well emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings with no assets and liabilities pursuant to the Bankruptcy Order. After the Bankruptcy Order and restructuring was completed, Deep Well entered into the oil and gas exploration business and acquired properties in the Peace River oil sands area, located in the province of Alberta, Canada. Because the current business, heavy oil and gas exploration, has no relevance to the predecessor company, there is no basis for financial comparisons between Deep Well’s current operations and the predecessor company.Going ConcernThe Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has a working capital deficit, has an accumulated deficit, and has generated negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of dependent upon the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's operations. The management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short-term related party loans and additional equity funding, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESSoftware - 100% Computer equipment - 55% Portable work camp - 30% Vehicles - 30% Road Mats - 30% Wellhead - 25% Office furniture and equipment - 20% Oilfield Equipment - 20% Tanks - 10% ourthe Company’s long-lived assets were identified or recorded in the fiscal years ended September 30, 20122013 and 2011.20122013 and 2011,2012, asset retirement obligations amount to $425,700$446,155 and $387,368,$425,700, respectively.

ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Earlytheir adoption is permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The adoption of these accounting standards has not had or is not expected to have a significant effectmaterial impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation.In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of these accounting standards has not had a significant effect on the financial statement presentation.3.OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES2012, Northern’s2013, the Company’s net payments due in Canadian dollars under this commitment are as follows: 2013 $ 45,158 2014 $ 45,158 2015 $ 45,158 2016 $ 45,158 2017 $ 45,158 Subsequent $ 88,883.20 2014 $ 47,398 2015 $ 47,398 2016 $ 47,398 2017 $ 47,398 Subsequent $ 46,502 a.) drill 68 wells throughout the 68 sections; or b.) drill 44 wells within the 68 sections and having acquired and processed 2 miles of seismic on each other undrilled section. 20122013 and 2011,2012, the Company has an interest in ten wells, which can be counted towards these requirements.20122013 (September 30, 20112012 - $nil).1.) 4.CAPITALIZATION OF COSTS INCURRED IN OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES$2,412,960 (Cdn $2,400,000);2.)

Forgiving the amounts owed from 113 to the Company in the amount of $239,459 (Cdn $239,268) and any defaults and penalties that the Company had imposed upon 113. 2012,2013, the Company’s management determined that sufficient progress has been made in assessing its oil sands reserves for continued capitalization of exploratory well costs. In relation to this sufficient progress assessment of its oil sands project the Company considered among other criteria; long lead times in getting regulatory approval for oil sands thermal recovery projects, road bans, winter access only properties and governmental and environmental regulations which can and often delay development of oil sands projects. Because of these and other factors, the Company’s oil sands project can take significantly longer to complete than regular conventional drilling programs for lighter oil. To date the Company’s geological, engineering, and economic studies and recently AER approved thermal recovery projects continue to lead them to believe that there is continuing progress toward bringing the project to commercial production. Therefore, the Company has continued to capitalize its costs associated with its oil sands project.ourthe Company’s long-lived assets were identified or recorded in the fiscal years ended September 30, 20122013 and 2011.20122013 and September 30, 2011: 2012 2011 Unproved Oil and Gas Properties $ 13,222,551 $ 13,165,546 Proved Oil and Gas Properties – – Accumulated Depreciation (32,033 ) (24,595 ) Net Capitalized Cost $ 13,190,518 $ 13,140,951 5.EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES 2013 2012 Unproved Oil and Gas Properties $ 15,963,517 $ 13,222,551 Proved Oil and Gas Properties – – Accumulated Depreciation (41,747 ) (32,033 ) Net Capitalized Cost $ 15,921,770 $ 13,190,518 20122013 and September 30, 2011: 2012 2011 Acquisition of Properties: Proved $ – $ – Unproved 57,005 422,362 Exploration costs 119,353 163,914 Development costs – – 6.INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES 2013 2012 Acquisition of Properties: Proved $ – $ – Unproved 2,740,967 57,005 Exploration costs 55,810 119,353 Development costs – – 7.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT September 30, 2012 Accumulated Net Book Cost Depreciation Value Computer equipment $ 31,084 $ 29,312 $ 1,772 Office furniture and equipment 33,199 21,152 12,046 Software 5,826 5,826 – Leasehold improvements 4,936 3,934 1,002 Portable work camp 170,580 120,847 49,733 Vehicles 38,077 26,976 11,101 Oilfield equipment 154,713 82,689 72,024 Road mats 364,614 258,311 106,303 Wellhead 3,254 1,119 2,135 Tanks 96,085 29,541 66,544 $ 902,368 $ 579,707 $ 322,660 September 30, 2011 Accumulated Net Book Cost Depreciation Value Computer equipment $ 30,655 $ 28,060 $ 2,595 Office furniture and equipment 33,199 18,141 15,058 Software 5,826 5,826 – Leasehold improvements 4,936 2,277 2,659 Portable work camp 170,580 99,533 71,047 Vehicles 38,077 22,218 15,859 Oilfield equipment 154,713 64,682 90,031 Road mats 364,614 212,752 151,862 Wellhead 3,254 407 2,847 Tanks 96,085 22,148 73,937 $ 901,939 $ 476,044 $ 425,895 September 30, 2013 Accumulated Net Book Cost Depreciation Value Computer equipment $ 31,084 $ 30,576 $ 508 Office furniture and equipment 33,199 24,938 8,261 Software 5,826 5,826 – Leasehold improvements 4,936 4,602 334 Portable work camp 170,580 135,767 34,813 Vehicles 38,077 30,306 7,771 Oilfield equipment 249,045 106,527 142,518 Road mats 364,614 290,202 74,412 Wellhead 3,254 1,653 1,601 Tanks 96,085 36,196 59,889 $ 996,700 $ 666,593 $ 330,107 September 30, 2012 Accumulated Net Book Cost Depreciation Value Computer equipment $ 31,084 $ 29,312 $ 1,772 Office furniture and equipment 33,199 21,152 12,046 Software 5,826 5,826 – Leasehold improvements 4,936 3,934 1,002 Portable work camp 170,580 120,847 49,733 Vehicles 38,077 26,976 11,101 Oilfield equipment 154,713 82,689 72,024 Road mats 364,614 258,311 106,303 Wellhead 3,254 1,119 2,135 Tanks 96,085 29,541 66,544 $ 902,368 $ 579,707 $ 322,660 $104,033$86,884 of depreciation expense for the year ended September 30, 20122013 (September 30, 20112012 - $141,031).8.LONG TERM INVESTMENTSResources Conservation BoardRegulators (“ERCB”AER”) which bears a interest at a rate of prime minus 0.375% and has no stated date of maturity.

This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded “European” options which are liquid and that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Stock options and the warrants attached to the units issued by the Company are non-transferable and vest over time, and are “American” options. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price volatility. The fair value estimate can vary materially as a result of changes in the assumptions.

The net operating losses are limited each year to offset future taxable income, if any, due to the change of ownership in the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, at September 30, 2012,2013, the Company had an unused Canadian net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $10,890,933 (2011$11,687,391 (2012 – $10,449,641)$10,890,933), expiring through 2032.2033. These operating loss carry-forwards may result in future income tax benefits of approximately $4,215,830.$4,937,762. However, because realization is uncertain at this time, a valuation reserve in the same amount has been established. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
