NOTES TO THECONSOLIDATEDFINANCI ALSTATEMENTS |
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management and expressed in US Dollars) |
30 SEPTEMBER 2018 |
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 1500-1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4N7.
The Company is a developer of modular, small-scale crude oil refineries that are co-located with smaller and/or stranded oil and gas producing fields. Each refinery will be designed to refine high demand motor fuels for supply to underserved local markets in the Republic of Indonesia. The Company operates its primary business activities through two subsidiaries in Indonesia. Each of these subsidiaries has received the necessary investment licenses to permit foreign direct investment in Indonesia and one has received the required licenses from the Indonesian Ministry of Mines and Energy to build, own, and operate a petroleum refining business. The Company is now working towards securing financing to begin construction.
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 is a development stage company and 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 primarily by issuing common and preferred shares in private placements, and/or by joining with strategic partners and joint venture partners in its refinery developments. 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 casts substantial 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 2018, 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 25 November 2018.
These Interim Financial Statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company's subsidiaries as described in its annual audited financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2018.
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.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management and expressed in US Dollars) |
30 SEPTEMBER 2018 |
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 2018.
4. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or IFRIC.
The Company adopted the following standard on 1 July 2018.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
This standard and its consequential amendments have replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9, except that an entity choosing to measure a financial liability at fair value will present the portion of any change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, rather than within profit or loss. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39.
Due to the nature of the Company’s financial instruments, i.e. cash being the only financial asset and the loan from a related party and other accounts payable being the only financial liabilities, the adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements. The classification and measurement of the Company’s financial instruments under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 are described below:
Measurement Category | ||
Original (IAS 39) | New (IFRS 9) | |
Financial Assets: | ||
Cash | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Financial Liabilities: | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Loans from related parties | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Promissory notes | N/A | Amortized cost |
The following new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not effective during the Company’s current fiscal year.
IFRS 16, Leases
This standard and its consequential amendments have replaced IAS 17 – Leases and its associated interpretative guidance. IFRS 16 applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between a lease and a service contract on the basis of whether the customer controls the asset being leased. For those assets determined to meet the definition of a lease, IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to the accounting by lessees, introducing a single, on-balance sheet accounting model that is similar to current finance lease accounting, with limited exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low value assets. Lessor accounting remains similar to current accounting practice. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and will apply it from 1 July 2019.
5. | Promissory Notes |
On 1 September 2018 the Company issued three promissory notes to unrelated arms-length parties for an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 in respect of unpaid accounts payable and accrued liabilities of Continental Hilir Indonesia Pte. Ltd. assumed by the Company on closure of the CHI Transaction during the fiscal year ended 30 June 2018. The notes each have a term of two years and bear non-compounding simple interest at a rate of nine (9%) per year on the unpaid balance commencing from 1 September 2017.
During the three months ended 30 September 2018, the Company accrued interest of $10,616 in connection with these promissory notes.

6. | Share Capital |
Authorized Share Capital
500,000,000 common shares without par value and without special rights or restrictions attached. 500,000,000 preferred shares without par value and with special rights or restrictions attached.
Shares issued
On 26 September 2018, pursuant to a private placement, the Company issued 7,000,000 units of the Company at $0.05 per unit, for proceeds of $350,000. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one warrant to purchase an additional common share at a fixed price of $0.05 per common share for a term expiring on 30 June 2021. The Company allocated $228,545 to common shares and $121,455 to the share purchase warrants based on management’s estimate of relative fair values. The fair value of the share purchase warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%, expected stock price volatility: 100%, risk-free interest rate: 2.18%, expected life of warrants: 2.76 years.
On 26 September 2018, the Company also issued 350,000 common shares to settle a payable to an officer of $17,500. These common shares had a fair value of $0.035 per share on the date of issuance for a total value of $12,250, resulting in a gain on settlement of debt of $5,250.
Stock options
The Company has an approved incentive stock option plan under which the Board of Directors may, from time to time, grant options to directors, officers, employees or consultants. Options granted must be exercised within a period as determined by the board. Options vest on the grant date unless otherwise determined by the board. The aggregate number of common shares which may be reserved as outstanding options shall not exceed 25,000,000, and the maximum number of options held by any one individual at any one time shall not exceed 7.5% of the total number of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares and 15% of same for all related parties (officers, directors, and insiders) as a group.
A reconciliation of the Company’s stock options outstanding on 30 September 2018 is as follows:
Weighted Average | ||||
Number of | Exercise Price | |||
Options | $ per Share | |||
Outstanding on 30 June 2018 | 4,500,000 | 0.15 | ||

Outstanding on 30 September 2018 (Note 10) | 500,000 | 0.15 |
Warrants
A reconciliation of the Company’s warrants outstanding is as follows:
Weighted Average | ||||
Number of | Exercise Price | |||
Warrants | $ per Share | |||
Outstanding on 30 June 2018 | 31,350,000 | 0.10 | ||

Expired | (10,350,000 | ) | 0.10 | |
Outstanding on 30 September 2018 | 28,000,000 | 0.06 |
During the period ended 30 September 2018, the term and exercise price of 15,000,000 outstanding and unexercised share purchase warrants were amended to reflect a reduction in exercise price from $0.10 each to $0.05 each and an extension of their term and expiry date from 31 August 2018 (14,000,000) and 8 September 2018 (1,000,000) until a new expiry date on 30 June 2020. As the share purchase warrants were issued originally to investors the modification of the terms was a transaction with the Company’s shareholders and therefore the incremental value resulting from such amendment did not result in any impact on the Company’s statement of loss.

The End of the First Quarter and Three (3) Months Period of Fiscal 2019
This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared by the management of Continental Energy Corporation (the "Company") as of 25 November 2018 (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 30 September 2018, a period of time hereinafter referred to as "This Quarter".
This Quarter corresponds to the Company's "First Quarter" and also marks the completion of the initial three (3) months period of the Company's fiscal year ("Fiscal 2018") which shall end on 30 June 2019.
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 a developer of small-scale crude oil refineries that are purposefully located near existing crude oil feedstock production in order to cost efficiently refine and deliver fuels directly to under-served local markets in the rapidly growing and emerging economy 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

Termination of Conditional Agreement for Potential Acquisition of Upstream Oil & Gas Property
In a news release dated 18 September 2018 the Company announced it had terminated a conditional agreement to participate in the BK Block. As per a previous news release dated 28 August 2017 the Company announced it had entered into a conditional agreement with a privately owned Indonesian company (the "seller") to make a private placement and fund a share of exploration work commitments and thereby earn a 25% joint venture stake in the BK Block upstream oil and gas property, subject to certain pre-conditions being met by the seller. The seller has been unable to satisfy the pre-conditions to closing and has advised the Company it is terminating the conditional agreement to pursue alternative offers for its property.
Withdrawal from Conditional Agreement with Potential Strategic Partner for Maloy Refinery
In a news release dated 18 September 2018 the Company announced it had withdrawn its offer and effectively terminated a conditional agreement with a prospective financier and strategic partner for the Company's Maloy Refinery project.

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.
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 Quarters
This Quarter and the three (3) months period ended 30 September 2018 (the “Current Quarter”) and theLast year's quarter and three month period ended 30 September 2017 (the “Comparative Quarter”). |
a) | Overall, the Company incurred a net loss during the Current Quarter of $53,777 compared to a loss of $833,318 for the Comparative Quarter, a decrease of $779,541. |
b) | The Company incurred a loss per share of $0.00 in the Current Quarter and $0.01 for the Comparative Quarter. |
c) | The higher loss incurred by the Company during the Comparative Quarter was primarily due to transaction costs of $534,425 relating to the acquisition of Continental Hilir Indonesia Pte. Ltd. (“CHI”) and the loss on settlement of convertible note of $151,110. The Company issued 14,000,000 units to the shareholders of CHI in exchange for shares they held in CHI, and obtained majority control of CHI. Total fair value of the units issued amounted to $904,400, in return for the net liabilities of CHI worth $6,441 and the settlement of the previous cash advances received from CHI of $376,416, resulting in cost of acquisition of $534,425. The loss on settlement of convertible note pertained to the calculated fair value of the warrants included in the 10,350,000 units issued upon conversion of the note to the common shares of the Company. |
d) | The Company’s interest expense during the Current Quarter was $10,916 compared to $8,506 during the Comparative Quarter.

e) | The Company’s cash administrative costs were also lower during the Current Quarter, $45,177 compared to those of the Comparative Quarter, $128,059; primarily as a result of higher office and investor relations costs, and professional fees incurred during the Comparative Quarter to get all of the Company’s regulatory filings up-to-date. The Company also incurred lower management and consulting fees due to the suspension of salary of certain Company executives, as described in part 10.3 below. |
f) | Share-based payments expense was $nil during the Current Quarter as compared to $40,800 in the Comparative Quarter.

PART- 8 : LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As at the end of This Quarter, the Company’s Interim Financial Statements reflected a decrease in the working capital deficiency of $419,089 from 30 June 2018, the end of the previous fiscal year. The working capital deficiency of $536,676 as at 30 June 2018 was decreased to $117,587 by the end of This Quarter.
During This Quarter, the Company spent $105,411 on its operations and raised $350,000 from private placements. The Company did not enter into any other cash investing or financing activities during 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 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.
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 - 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 financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2018.
PART - 13 : FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments as at the end of This Quarter, consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the loan payable to its CEO, and the promissory notes. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value due to their relative 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 and Indonesian 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.
