Project Review

Bullseye Prospect ( 15% before casing point working interest, prior to back in rights of vendor; 9% after casing point working interest)

The Bullesye prospect is located in the Iberville Parish, Louisiana, USA. The Bullseye prospect leases cover an area of 1,700 net acres.

Highlights

Successfully completed and placed on production Jumonville #2.
Two wells on production now from the Bullseye Project generating significant cashflow.
Successful conversion of Acosta into a salt water disposal well, providing significant operating cost reductions.
Commencement of Reserve calculation for Bullseye.
Project facilities fully operational.
Further potential in untested hydrocarbon zones.

Jumonville #2 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana

==> picture [193 x 145] intentionally omitted <==

As announced on 30 June 2009, Jumonville #2 successfully perforated and commenced production from the Miogyp sandstone with an initial production rate of 750 barrels of oil per day and 250,000 cubic feet of gas. The well is currently producing at 600 bbl oil per day and 350 mcf gas per day.

The Jumonville #2 well was been brought into immediate commercial production providing a substantial increase to cash flow. Jumonville oil is high quality 40 gravity oil which under the current sales contract yields a $2 per barrel premium to West Texas Intermediate (WTI).

Modena Resources Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT

All of the objective formations were penetrated and the Jumonville #2 well has delivered an excellent commercial result in its prime objective. In addition, the Jumonville #2 well still has another oil zone yet to be tested in the Camerina section which provides further upside across the Bullseye prospect along with the Marg Vag, a new interval which is a highly productive oil zone north of the Bullseye Prospect and has been penetrated in the Jumonville #1 and #2 wells.

==> picture [479 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

Jumonville #1 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana

The well produced 28,895 bbl of oil and 19,657 mcf of gas for the quarter ending 30 June 2009 and total overall production since initial production has been 110,533 bbl of oil and 41,080 mcf of gas.

Acosta #1 Well, Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana

With the normal increase in water production from the water drive Miogyp interval, the Joint Venture elected to convert the Acosta well into a salt water disposal well at a low cost while still retaining the well bore to eventually drill a side track in order to develop one of the new Miogyp locations and or test the Camerina. The financial benefit of injecting produced water is material as current costs of disposing of water is over $4 per barrel. This disposal well is presently saving the joint venture over US$200,000 per month in water disposal costs and has substantially reduced operating costs.

Given the current economic benefit of using the Acosta well for water disposal, testing of the Camerina in this well will most likely occur after testing of the Camerina in the Jumonville #1 well. However, there are opportunities in the present market to drill a new very low cost disposal well which may change current plans.

Bullseye Prospect Reserve Study

Following the drilling and completion of Jumonville #2 the Operator Golden Gate Petroleum has commissioned a Reserve Study to quantify the proven and probable reserves of the Miogyp discovery at the Bullseye prospect. It is anticipated that the study results will be announced in September 2009.

Bullseye Prospect Facilities

==> picture [145 x 193] intentionally omitted <==

Following the commencement of oil being produced from Jumonville #1 in late September 2008 the Company commenced construction of production facilities to cater for production of both oil and gas.

The tank battery and surface production facilities consists of four 1,500 bbl tanks, water injection tanks, separators, heater treater, dehydration units along with various flow lines capable of handling the Miogyp development.

The construction of these facilities over a very small period represents a significant achievement and has enabled the Company to continue producing and selling both oil and gas in order to assist with funding the drilling of Jumonville #2.

The current capacity is adequate to cater for 3,000 barrels of oil and 5 million cubic of gas per day .

Tank Battery and Flow lines

Modena Resources Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT

Wilson Prospect (10% working interest)

The Wilson Prospect is located in Pardre Island, Texas, USA on the Gulf of Mexico.

The first well to be drilled on the Wilson Prospect, Kindee ST949#1 was spudded on 7 February 2007 and production commenced on 10 September 2007 at an initial rate of 2.5 million cubic feet a day. During the period to 30 June 2008 the well produced 483.6 million cubic feet of gas and 788 barrels of oil.

The Wilson ST949# well was shut-in, pending a workover to asses possible mechanical problems associated with the tubing/packer seal within the well. Prior to shut-in, water production from the well increased significantly, coupled with a reduction in production volumes.

Following a review of the prospectivity for commercially rectifying production problems on Kindee ST 949 #1, the joint venture agreed to plug and abandon the well.

All costs relating to the Wilson Prospect have been written off in full.

South Lost Hills Properties (10% working interest)

Modena holds a 10% working interest in two lease blocks each with an area of approximately 640 acres in Kern County, California, USA. This acreage is situated just south and adjacent to the southern limit of a major oil and gas producing area known as the South Lost Hills field.

No work was carried out on these properties during the year. All costs relating to the South Lost Hills Properties have been written off in full.

Armstrong Properties (25% working interest)

An undivided 25% leasehold and working interest in and to a defined oil and gas lease, covering certain lands and lease located in Kenedy County Texas USA. The lease covers an area of approximately 1,477 acres. The lease block has the potential for a number of prospective targets.

Drilling of the Tobin Armstrong #2 well to its target depth of 10 500‟ was completed in mid February 2008. The Tobin Armstrong #2 well was logged and based on initial analysis by the operator, BNP Petroleum Corporation (“BNP”), logs show in excess of 100 feet of productive sands. BNP proceeded to casing and completion of a program to test and bring this well on production. However, a problem was encountered with the casing pipe requiring the piping to be replaced. This was completed and following further work by a workover rig a decision was made that the well was not economically viable.

Due to faults during the drilling program, the Operator has submitted a claim to the pipe broker who has in turn submitted such claim to its insurance carrier for the amount of US$835,000. The claim represents the amount of cost incurred on the well associated with dealing with defective surface casing. The company is hopeful of some cost recovery through this insurance claim.

Based on the initial success of Armstrong #2 showing encouraging productive sands, the potential exists for follow up wells on a number of additional prospective targets, offering good potential for future discoveries.

All exploration costs on Tobin Armstrong #2 have been written off in full.

Manzano Properties (12.5% working interest)

An undivided 12.5% leasehold and working interest in and to a defined oil and gas lease, covering certain lands and leases located in Kleberg County, Texas, USA known as the “Manzano Prospect”.

ST Tract 991#1

Plugged and abandoned during the year. All costs relating to the ST Tract 991#1 have been written off in full.

Dunn McCambell 11A

Dunn McCambell 11A produced in excess of 274,000 mcf of gas during period.

Jackson Shallow Gas Prospects

On 21 November 2008, the company announced that due to the current economic conditions, commitments to the Jackson Shallow Gas Prospects could not be justified and a decision had been taken to relinquish all rights in the Prospects. The Board was of the view that it was in the best interests of the company to concentrate on the successful Bullseye Prospect. The company received a credit for expenditure undertaken on the Jackson Shallow Gas Prospects.

ESK‟s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Orchard Petroleum, Inc. (“Orchard”), has a portfolio of low risk, high quality production, development, appraisal and exploration projects in the prolific San Joaquin Basin in California.

Orchard Highlights

Proved and probable reserves (2P) of 24 million barrels of oil equivalent as of 31 December 2008 of which 9 million barrels of oil equivalent are in the proved reserves (1P) category based on a reserve study of Orchard‟s assets by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc.;
In May 2009, Orchard achieved an average production rate of over 1,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (gross) and obtained positive results from a new well stimulation method which could result in a substantial increase in production rates and lower completion costs;

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director and Executive of Modena Resources Limited. The information provided in the remuneration report includes remuneration disclosures that are audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the group, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or otherwise) of the parent company, and includes five executives in the parent group receiving the highest remuneration.

For the purposes of this report the term “Executive” includes those key management personnel who are not Directors of the parent company.

Remuneration Committee

The full Board carries out the role and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Directors themselves, the Managing Director and any Executives.

Executive remuneration is reviewed annually having regard to individual and business performance, relevant comparative remuneration and internal and independent external advice.

A. Remuneration policy

The board policy is to remunerate Directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of Directors‟ fees that can be paid is subject to approval by shareholders in general meeting, from time to time. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. However, to align Directors‟ interests with shareholders interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company.

The Company‟s aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain high-calibre Directors and employees. Company officers and Directors are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the Company.

Modena Resources Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT

The Executive Directors and full time Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.

The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this size and maturity.

The Company did not pay any performance-based component of remuneration during the year.

B. Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive compensation is separate and distinct.

Non-Executive Director Compensation

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate compensation at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The latest determination approved by shareholders was an aggregate compensation of $150,000 per year.

The amount of aggregate compensation sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Non-Executive Directors‟ remuneration may include an incentive portion consisting of options, as considered appropriate by the Board, which may be subject to Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing rules.

Separate from their duties as Directors, the Non-Executive Directors undertake work for the Company directly related to the evaluation and implementation of various business opportunities, including oil and gas exploration/evaluation and new business ventures, for which they receive a daily rate. These payments are made pursuant to individual agreement with the non-executive Directors and are not taken into account when determining their aggregate remuneration levels.

Executive Compensation

Objective

The entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the entity so as to:

reward executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by appropriate benchmarks;

align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;

link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and

ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of Executive remuneration, the Board negotiates a remuneration to reflect the market salary for a position and individual of comparable responsibility and experience. Due to the limited size of the Company and of its operations and financial affairs, the use of a separate remuneration committee is not considered appropriate. Remuneration is regularly compared with the external market by participation in industry salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally. If required, the Board may engage an external consultant to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable Executive roles.

Remuneration consists of a fixed remuneration and a long term incentive portion as considered appropriate.

Modena Resources Limited

DIRECTORS REPORT

Compensation may consist of the following key elements:

==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

Fixed Compensation;
Variable Compensation;
Short Term Incentive (STI); and
Long Term Incentive (LTI).

Fixed Remuneration

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board having regard to the Company and individual performance, relevant comparable remuneration in the mining exploration sector and external advice.

The fixed remuneration is a base salary or monthly consulting fee.

Variable Pay — Long Term Incentives

The objective of long term incentives is to reward Directors/Executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. The incentive portion is payable based upon attainment of objectives related to the Director‟s/Executive‟s job responsibilities. The objectives vary, but all are targeted to relate directly to the Company‟s business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value.

Long term incentives (LTI‟s) granted to Directors/ Executives are delivered in the form of options.

LTI grants to Executives are delivered in the form of employee share options. These options are issued at an exercise price determined by the Board at the time of issue. The employee share options generally vest over a selected period.

The objective of the granting options is to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such LTI‟s are made to Executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have an impact on the Company‟s performance.

The level of LTI granted is, in turn, dependent on the Company‟s recent share price performance, the seniority of the Executive, and the responsibilities the Executive assumes in the Company.

Typically, the grant of LTIs occurs at the commencement of employment or in the event that the individual receives a promotion and, as such, is not subsequently affected by the individual‟s performance over time.

No options have been issued in the current year.

C. Employment contracts of Directors and senior Executives

The employment arrangements of the Directors are not formalised in a contract of employment.

Other than as specifically reserved to the Board, responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company‟s business activities is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management.

2(b) Board Composition

The Directors determine the composition of the Board employing the following principles:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

the Board, in accordance with the Company‟s constitution must comprise a minimum of three Directors;
the roles of the Chairman of the Board and of the Chief Executive Officer should be exercised by different individuals;
the majority of the Board should comprise Directors who are non-executive;
the Board should represent a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise considered of benefit to the Company; and
the Board must be structured in such a way that it has a proper understanding of, and competency in, the current and emerging issues facing the Company, and can effectively review management‟s decisions.

The Board is currently comprised of two Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director. The skills, experience, expertise, qualifications and terms of office of each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors‟ Report.

The Company‟s constitution requires one-third of the Directors (or the next lowest whole number) to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Directors to retire at each AGM are those who have been longest in office since their last election. Where Directors have served for equal periods, they may agree amongst themselves or determine by lot who will retire. A Director must retire in any event at the third AGM since he or she was last elected or re-elected. Retiring Directors may offer themselves for re-election.

A Director appointed as an additional or casual Director by the Board will hold office until the next AGM when they may be re-elected.

The Chief Executive Officer is not subject to retirement by rotation and, along with any Director appointed as an additional or casual Director, is not to be taken into account in determining the number of Directors required to retire by rotation.

2(c) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The Chairman is responsible for:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

implementing the Company‟s strategies and policies; and
the day-to-day management of the Company‟s business activities

The Board specifies that the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are separate roles to be undertaken by separate people.

Modena Resources Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Due to the nature of the company‟s current activities it does not currently have a chief executive officer and this role is effectively undertaken by the Executive Director, Mr Willis.

2(d) Nomination Committee

The Company does not comply with ASX Recommendation 2.4. The Company is not of a relevant size to consider formation of a nomination committee to deal with the selection and appointment of new Directors and as such a nomination committee has not been formed.

Nominations of new Directors are considered by the full Board in accordance with the Company‟s “Selection of New Directors Policy”.

2(e) Independent Directors

The Company recognises that independent Directors are important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding senior management accountable for its performance. The Board assesses each of the directors against specific criteria to decide whether they are in a position to exercise independent judgment.

Directors of Modena Resources Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.

In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.

The Board is currently comprised of two independent non-executive Directors.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors of Modena Resources Limited are considered to be independent:

Name Position Wayne Bellman Non-Executive Chairman David Sutherland Non-Executive Director

The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

Name Term in Office Wayne Bellman Since 30 January 2009 Craig Willis Since 11 September 2006 David Sutherland Since 12 February 2009

In recognition of the importance of independent views and the Board‟s role in supervising the activities of management the Chairman must be a Non-Executive Director.

2(f) Avoidance of conflicts of interest by a Director

In order to ensure that any interests of a Director in a particular matter to be considered by the Board are known by each Director, each Director is required by the Company to disclose any relationships, duties or interests held that may give rise to a potential conflict. Directors are required to adhere strictly to constraints on their participation and voting in relation to any matters in which they may have an interest.

2(g) Board access to information and independent advice

Directors are able to access members of the management team at any time to request relevant information.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable Directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the company‟s expense.

Modena Resources Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

2(h) Review of Board performance

The performance of the Board is reviewed regularly by the Chairman. The Chairman conducts performance evaluations which involve an assessment of each Board member‟s performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed is aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Modena Resources Limited. Directors whose performance is consistently unsatisfactory may be asked to retire.

3. BOARD COMMITTEES

3(a) Audit Committee

Given the size and scale of the Company‟s operations the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee does not comply with ASX Recommendation 4.2 as the Chair of the Board is Chair of the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee does not comprise only Non-Executive Directors. The role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are summarised below.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company‟s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors. The Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the Audit Committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the auditor.

The Board reviews the audited annual and half-year financial statements and any reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members. The Board also reviews annually the appointment of the external auditor, their independence and their fees.

The Board is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management. The Company has not formed a separate Risk Management Committee due to the size and scale of its operations.

External Auditors

The Company‟s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. It is BDO Kendalls Audit and Assurance (WA) Pty Ltd‟s policy to rotate engagement Directors on listed companies at least every five years.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report.

There is no indemnity provided by the company to the auditor in respect of any potential liability to third parties.

The external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation and content of the audit report.

There were no non-audit services provided by the auditors during the year.

3(b) Remuneration Committee

The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees.

The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee due to the size and scale of its operations. This does not comply with Recommendation 8.1 however the Board as a whole takes responsibility for such issues.

The responsibilities include setting policies for senior officers remuneration, setting the terms and conditions for the CEO, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company‟s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both executive and non-executive directors and undertaking reviews of the CEO‟s performance.

The Company has structured the remuneration of its senior executive, where applicable, such that it comprises a fixed salary, statutory superannuation and participation in the Company‟s employee share option plan. The Company believes that by remunerating senior executives in this manner it rewards them for performance and aligns their interests with those of shareholders and increases the Company‟s performance.

Non-executive directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for nonexecutive director remuneration. The Company does not adhere to Recommendation 8.2 Box 8.2 „Non-executive directors should not receive options or bonus payments‟. The Company may, in the future, granted options to non-executive directors. The Board is of the view that options (for both executive and non-executive directors) are a cost effective benefit for small companies such as Modena Resources Limited that seek to conserve cash reserves. They also provide an incentive that ultimately benefits both shareholders and the optionholders, as optionholders will only benefit if the market value of the underlying shares exceeds the option strike price. Ultimately, shareholders will make that determination.

Modena Resources Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period is contained in the “Remuneration Report” within the Directors‟ Report of the Annual Report.

4. ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING

4(a) Code of Ethics and Conduct

The Board endeavours to ensure that the Directors, officers and employees of the Company act with integrity and observe the highest standards of behaviour and business ethics in relation to their corporate activities. The “Code of Conduct” sets out the principles, practices, and standards of personal behaviour the Company expects people to adopt in their daily business activities.

All Directors, officers and employees are required to comply with the Code of Conduct. Senior managers are expected to ensure that employees, contractors, consultants, agents and partners under their supervision are aware of the Company‟s expectations as set out in the Code of Conduct.

observe the ethical principles of fairness, honesty and truthfulness, including prompt disclosure of potential conflicts.

Policy concerning trading in Company securities

The Company‟s “Dealings in Company Shares and Options Policy” applies to all Directors, officers and employees. This policy sets out the restrictions on dealing in securities by people who work for, or are associated with the Company and is intended to assist in maintaining market confidence in the integrity of dealings in the Company‟s securities. The policy stipulates that the only appropriate time for a Director, officer or employee to deal in the Company‟s securities is when they are not in possession of price sensitive information that is not generally available to the market.

As a matter of practice, Company shares may only be dealt with by Directors and officers of the Company under the following guidelines:

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

No trading is permitted in the period of 14 days preceding release of each quarterly report, half-yearly report and annual financial report of the Company or for a period of 2 trading days after the release of such report;
Guidelines are to be considered complementary to and not replace the various sections of the Corporations Act 2001 dealing with insider trading; and
Prior approval of the Chairman, or in his absence, the approval of two directors is required prior to any trading being undertaken.

5. TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

5(a) Shareholder communication

The Company believes that all shareholders should have equal and timely access to material information about the Company including its financial situation, performance, ownership and governance. The Company‟s “ASX Disclosure Policy” encourages effective communication with its shareholders by requiring that Company announcements:

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

be made in a timely manner;
not omit material information;
be expressed in a clear and objective manner to allow investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions;
be in compliance with ASX Listing Rules continuous disclosure requirements; and
be placed on the Company‟s website promptly following release.

Shareholders are encouraged to participate in general meetings. Copies of addresses by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer are disclosed to the market and posted on the Company‟s website. The Company‟s external auditor attends the Company‟s annual general meeting to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Modena Resources Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

5(b) Continuous disclosure policy

The Company is committed to ensuring that shareholders and the market are provided with full and timely information and that all stakeholders have equal opportunities to receive externally available information issued by the Company. The Company‟s “ASX Disclosure Policy” described in 5(a) reinforces the Company‟s commitment to continuous disclosure and outline management‟s accountabilities and the processes to be followed for ensuring compliance.

The policy also contains guidelines on information that may be price sensitive. The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements with the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and coordinating information disclosure to the ASX.

6. RECOGNISING AND MANAGING RISK

The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. The Company‟s policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company‟s business objectives. A written policy in relation to risk oversight and management has been established (“Risk Management and Internal Control Policy”). Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn responsibilities.

6(a) Board oversight of the risk management system

The Board is responsible for approving and overseeing the risk management system. The Board reviews, at least annually, the effectiveness of the implementation of the risk management controls and procedures.

The principle aim of the system of internal control is the management of business risks, with a view to enhancing the value of shareholders' investments and safeguarding assets. Although no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance that the business risks will be fully mitigated, the internal control systems have been designed to meet the Company's specific needs and the risks to which it is exposed.

Annually, the Board is responsible for identifying the risks facing the Company, assessing the risks and ensuring that there are controls for these risks, which are to be designed to ensure that any identified risk is reduced to an acceptable level.

The Board is also responsible for identifying and monitoring areas of significant business risk. Internal control measures currently adopted by the Board include:

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

at least quarterly reporting to the Board in respect of operations and the Company‟s financial position, with a comparison of actual results against budget; and
regular reports to the Board by appropriate members of the management team and/or independent advisers, outlining the nature of particular risks and highlighting measures which are either in place or can be adopted to manage or mitigate those risks.

6(b) Risk management roles and responsibilities

The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the Company‟s risk management strategy and policy. Executive management is responsible for implementing the Board approved risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks in all of the Company‟s activities.

The Board is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.

6(c) Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Certification

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or equivalent, provide to the Board written certification that in all material respects:

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

The Company‟s financial statements present a true and fair view of the Company‟s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards;
The statement given to the Board on the integrity of the Company‟s financial statements is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and controls which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and
The Company‟s risk management an internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

6(d) Internal review and risk evaluation

Assurance is provided to the Board by executive management on the adequacy and effectiveness of management controls for risk on a regular basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected financial assets for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Modena Resources Limited (the parent) is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors‟ Report.

Reporting Basis and Conventions including Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of the Company‟s and consolidated entity‟s assets and the discharge of their liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Board considers that the Company is a going concern and recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that the Company can continue to fund its and the consolidated entity‟s operations and further develop their petroleum exploration and evaluation assets during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report. Such additional funding, as occurred during the year ended 30 June 2009, can be derived from either one or a combination of the following:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

The placement of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or otherwise;
An excluded offer pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001; or
The sale of assets.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that subject to prevailing equity market conditions, the Company will obtain sufficient funding to enable it and the consolidated entity to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report. Should the company be unable to obtain sufficient funding as outlined above, there is significant uncertainty whether or not the entity will be able to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to year end the Company completed the placement of 10,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of 7 cents each, raising gross proceeds of $700,000.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and the consolidated entity not be able to continue as going concerns.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards

In the year ended 30 June 2009, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2009. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2008, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report: There is no material impact in relation to adopting these standards.

Modena Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards (Cont.)

(i) AASB 123 (revised June 2007) - Borrowing Costs

Applicable for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. The transitional provisions of this standard only require capitalisation of borrowing costs on qualifying assets where commencement date for capitalisation is on or after 1 January 2009. As such, there will be no impact on prior financial statements when this standard is adopted.

(ii) AASB 3 (reissued March 2008) - Business Combinations

Applicable to business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that commences 1 July 2009 or later. As there is no requirement to retrospectively restate comparative amounts for business combinations undertaken before this date, there is unlikely to be any impact on the financial statements when this revised standard is first adopted.

However, due to the nature of some of the changes in the revised standard, business combinations that the entity undertakes after this date may in future impact negatively on the results of the entity. For example, acquisition costs will have to be expensed instead of being recognised as part of goodwill.

Specific changes in respect of step acquisitions and sell downs may introduce situations whereby adopting the revised standard may improve profitability.

Also, deferred tax assets that do not satisfy recognition criteria when a business combination is initially accounted for, but do subsequently qualify for recognition post acquisition date, will be recognised as a credit to the income statement and there will be no consequential write-down of goodwill for a similar amount, provided that the deferred tax assets are recognised outside the initial measurement period of 12 months from acquisition date.

(iii) AASB 127 (reissued March 2008) - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 July 2009. As there is no requirement to retrospectively restate the effect of these revisions, there is unlikely to be any impact on the financial statements when this revised standard is first adopted.

(iv) AASB 2008-3 (issued March 2008) Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASB 1, AASB 2, AASB 4, AASB 5, AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 112, AASB 114, AASB 116, AASB 121, AASB 128, AASB 131, AASB 132, AASB 133, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 137, AASB 138, AASB 139, Interpretation 9 and Interpretation 107]

(v) AASB 2008-1 (issued February 2008) – Amendments to AASB 2 – Share-based Payments – Vesting Conditions and Cancellations. Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. To date the entity has not issued any options to employees that include non-vesting conditions and as such there will be no impact on the financial statements when this revised standard is adopted for the first time.
(vi) IAS27, IAS 18 and IAS 36 (issued May 2008) – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, Revenue and Impairment of Assets.

Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. There will be no impact as these requirements are only required to be applied prospectively for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. However, any preacquisition dividends received after this date may result in additional impairment charges on investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities. This is because such amounts would previously have been written off directly against the cost of the investment, whereas in future they will be recognised as revenue which may result in the investment being stated at an amount exceeding recoverable amount.

(vii) IAS 27 (issued May 2008) – paragraphs 38B and 38C

Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. There will be no impact as these requirements are only required to be applied prospectively to reorganisations occurring in annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards (Cont.)

(viii) Improvements to IFRS (issued May 2008) – Improvements to IFRSs
i. IAS 27 - Consolidated and separate Financial Statements.
- Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. This amendment will have no impact when this amendment is first adopted because the entity used the cost method under IAS 27 to account for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointed controlled entities which will continue to be measure under IFRS 5.
ii. IAS 23 – Borrowing costs

Applicable for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. There will be no impact as these amendments merely clarify existing practice.

iii. IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets

Applicable for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. There will be no financial impact when these amendments are first adopted because these amendments relate to additional disclosure requirements only.

(ix) AASB 8 (issued Feb 2007) – Operating Segments

Applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. As this is a disclosure standard only, there will be no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, disclosures required for the operating segments will be significantly different to what is currently reported (business and geographical segment).

(x) AASB 101 –(revised Sep 2007) – Presentation of Financial Statements

Applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. As this is a disclosure standard only, there will be no impact on amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, there will be various changes to the way financial statements are presented and various changes to names of individual financial statements.

(c) Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2009.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Modena Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group).

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.

Details of the controlled entity is contained in Note 21. The controlled entity has a June financial year end.

Modena Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

(e) Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group‟s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Group‟s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity‟s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(f) Income Tax

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, expect where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

(g) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is Modena Resources Limited‟s functional and presentation currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(i) Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset‟s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account.

The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

(ii) Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the income statement. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit.

(j) Property, Plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset‟s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset‟s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

*Class of Fixed Asset*	*Depreciation Rate*
Plant and equipment	15 – 30%

The assets‟ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset‟s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset‟s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(k) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
(a) The exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
(b) Exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence, or otherwise, of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

The costs of drilling exploration wells are initially capitalised pending the results of the well. Costs are expensed where the well does not result in the successful discovery of economically recoverable hydrocarbons. Areas of interest may be recognised at either the field or the well level, depending on the nature of the project. Subsequent to the recognition of an area of interest, all further costs relating to an area or interest are capitalised.

Each potential or recognised area of interest is reviewed half yearly to determine whether economic quantities of reserves have been found or whether further exploration work is underway or planned to support the continued carry forward of capitalised costs. Upon approval for the commercial development of an area of interest, accumulated expenditure for the area of interest is transferred to oil and gas properties.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest.

The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at the cash-generating unit level whenever the facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

(l) Oil and gas properties

Oil and gas properties include construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities such as pipelines and platforms, transferred exploration and evaluation costs, and the cost of development wells, Subsequent costs are included in the asset‟s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Oil and gas properties are amortised over the expected useful lives of the asset.

(m) Financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transactions costs. The company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category „financial assets at fair value through profit or loss‟. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts and is recognised in a separate account. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(iii) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the other categories. After initial recognition available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm‟s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

(n) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(o) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Modena Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

(o) Interest bearing loans and borrowings (Cont.)

The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent nonconvertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders‟ equity, net of income tax effects.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or expenses.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

(q) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

(r) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the company‟s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(s) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(t) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)

(u) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sales Revenue

Sales revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of goods to the customer. Delivery of product is by pipeline and under well specific contracts that define transfer point of ownership. The nominated transfer point has appropriate meter equipment installed. Product pricing is dependant upon product quality and delivery volume rates, and base price marked to an appropriate commodity market benchmark.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(v) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(w) Segment reporting

A business segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other operating business segments. A geographical segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different than those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(x) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Significant accounting judgments

In the process of applying the Group‟s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group‟s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure is set out at Note 1(k). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under the policy, it is concluded that the expenditures are unlikely to be recovered by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement.

Functional currency

The functional currency for each entity in the Group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Where the indicators for determining functional currency are mixed, the Directors have used judgement to determine which currency most faithfully presents the economic effects of the underlying transactions. The Directors have determined that the functional currency of Modena Resources Limited is the Australian Dollar. Had they determined that the functional currency was USD this may have impacted the carrying amount of the assets on the balance sheet, with a corresponding change to equity and the profit and loss for the year.

(x) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (Cont.)

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of assets

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, in the absence of quoted market prices, estimations are made regarding the present value of future cash flows using asset-specific discount rates and the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

(d) Loans with Key Management Personnel

There were no loans to key management personnel or their related entities during the financial year.

23. Financial Risk Management

The Company‟s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits, borrowings and convertible notes. The Company manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Company‟s financial risk management policy. The objective of the policy is to support the delivery of the Company‟s financial targets while protecting future financial security.

The main risks arising from the Company‟s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. The Company uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rates and assessments of market forecasts for interest rates. Ageing analysis of and monitoring of receivables are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.

The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including for interest rate risk, credit allowances and cash flow forecast projections.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

Risk Exposures and Responses

Interest rate risk

The Company‟s exposure to risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company‟s cash balances. The Company constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative financing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. As the company has no variable rate interest bearing borrowings its exposure to interest rate movements is limited to the amount of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date.

At balance date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents (interest- bearing accounts) Net exposure	Consolidated Parent Entity 2009 $ 2008 $ 2009 $ 2008 $
	133,140 221,238 133,140 221,238
	133,140 221,238 133,140 221,238

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date. The 1.0% sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed range of historical LIBOR movements over the last 3 years.

Modena Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

23. Financial Risk Management (Cont.)

At 30 June 2009, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity relating to financial assets of the Group would have been affected as follows:

Judgements of reasonably possible
movements:
Post tax profit – higher / (lower)
+ 1.0%	1,331	2,212	1,331	2,212
- 1.0%	(1,331)	(2,212)	(1,331)	(2,212)
Equity – higher / (lower)
+ 1.0%	1,331	2,212	1,331	2,212
- 1.0%	(1,331)	(2,212)	(1,331)	(2,212)

It is not expected that interest rates will decrease in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group‟s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group‟s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

The Company anticipates a need to raise additional capital in the next 12 months to meet forecasted operational activities. The decision on how the Company will raise future capital will depend on market conditions existing at that time.

Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

The Group has no access to credit standby facilities or arrangements for further funding or borrowings in place.

The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Group‟s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

	1,388,096	- 1,891,446 - - 3,279,.542	3,279,.542

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise deposits with banks and trade and other receivables. The Company‟s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Balance Sheet represents the Company‟s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets.

The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The Company trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Company‟s policy to securities it trade and other receivables.

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.

Capital Management Risk

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

Management effectively manages the group‟s capital by assessing the group‟s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the group since the prior year.

Foreign Currency Risk

As a result of the Group‟s farm-in operations in the United States of America, the Group‟s operations can be affected by movements in the US$/A$ exchange rates. The Company does not hedge this exposure.

The Group manages its foreign exchange risk by constantly reviewing its exposure to commitments payable in foreign currency and ensuring appropriate cash balances are maintained in Australian Dollars, to meet current operational commitments.

Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments. The Group exposure to the foreign currency risk is considered immaterial at 30 June 2009.

Fair Value

The methods of estimating fair value are outlined in the relevant notes to the financial statements. All financial assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet, whether they are carried at cost or fair value, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair values unless other wise stated in the applicable notes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MODENA RESOURCES LIMITED

==> picture [170 x 150] intentionally omitted <==

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Modena Resources Limited, which comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1 (c), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that compliance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 would be in the same terms if it had been given to the directors at the time that this auditor’s review report was made.

BDO Kendalls is a national association of separate partnerships and entities. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion the financial report of Modena Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(a) (i) giving a true and fair view of the company’s and consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1 (c).

Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the income statements in the financial report which indicates that the group incurred a net loss of $13,598,608 during the year ended 30 June 2009. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1 (a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2009. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Modena Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2009, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
