REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The net loss for the half-year attributable to members of Modena Resources Limited was $2,464,118 (31 December 2009 - $6,305,494).

Project Review

Modena Resources Limited (ASX: MDA , the Company) has, during the period, worked on assuming full operational control of the recently purchased oil and gas production assets in South Texas via its wholly owned US subsidiary Modena Petroleum LLC.

The Company’s technical team has completed a first pass review of the 24 production wells acquired in South Texas at its Padre Island operations. Modena continues to work towards its objectives and restore production.

The operational records indicate production had previously peaked at 28,000 MCFPD. The Company has secured and renewed a package of leases for an additional 5 year period and is having continuing discussions with potential working interest and/or joint venture partners for a number of the Company’s targeted prospects.

The Company retained H.J. Gruy & Associates, Inc, Petroleum Consultants, to deliver an updated reserve report which was released in February 2011. The Company is also currently completing both permits and right of way access agreements to facilitate the commencement of work over operations. Modena continues to work towards its objective and restore production towards its target over the next twelve months.

The Company has approximately 15,000 acres of prospective exploration acreage as part of the assets purchased including 20 oil and gas production wells in South Texas via its wholly owned US subsidiary Modena Petroleum LLC.

The Company’s technical team has performed a thorough wellbore utility review and has identified 15 wells with production improvement possibilities.

The Company’s primary focus is production and the task ahead is significant. It is pleasing to note that priority wells currently being re-worked have responded with production being re-established following preliminary work. The Company is currently trialing a sand separator at the Mid Frio #1 following a well clean out with coil tubing and trial production at South Sprint was tested at 190 to 200 MCFPD. Further work will be required to stabilise production at South Sprint.

MODENA RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the half-year ended 31 December 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

These half-year financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial statements.

It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 and any public announcements made by Modena Resources Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

Basis of preparation

The half-year statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets which are measured at fair value. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

Significant accounting judgements and key estimates

The preparation of half-year financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this half-year report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2010.

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the half-year ended 31 December 2010, 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 annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010.

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 half-year ended 31 December 2010. 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.

10

MODENA RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the half-year ended 31 December 2010

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Going concern

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis of going concern, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the company incurred a net loss of $2,464,118 and had a working capital deficiency of $6,562,193 as at 31 December 2010, the ability of the company to continue as a going concern is based on the successful completion of a capital raising within the next 12 months.

The Directors believe after consideration of these matters, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable and is a going concern because of the following factors:

  • The ability to issue additional shares under the Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • The Company’s commitment to exploration expenditure is discretionary and, if required, could enter into farm-in arrangements on its projects;

  • The Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group’s current exploration projects, the Directors believe that the additional capital required can be raised in the market;

  • The Company has entered into an agreement with Truestone Capital Specialist Investments Limited, a London based specialist financier for provision a $10,000,000 working capital facility. The facility drawdown is solely at the election of the Company and subject to a formal drawdown process. At the date of this report the Company has drawn down an amount of $1,000,000;

  • Subsequent to reporting date, the Company has issued 40,021,653 ordinary fully paid shares on the conversion of unsecured convertible notes with a face value of $720,000, thereby reducing liabilities by the same amount; and

  • The Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that subject to prevailing equity market conditions, the consolidated entity will obtain sufficient funding to enable it to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the half-year financial statements. Should the consolidated entity be unable to obtain sufficient funding as outlined above, there is significant uncertainty whether or not the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern.

Ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the relevant areas of interest, at amounts at least equal to book value.

  • These assets have been recognised provisionally at reporting date as accounting is incomplete relating to fair value adjustments and potential classification adjustments between infrastructure, exploration properties and oil & gas production properties.

The Group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments which requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. The Board of Modena Resources Ltd reviews internal reports prepared as consolidated financial statements and strategic decisions of the Group are determined upon analysis of these internal reports. During the period, the Group operated predominantly in one business and geographical segment being the oil and gas sector in the United States of America.

Accordingly, under the ‘management approach’ outlined only one operating segment has been identified and no further disclosure is required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are no contingent liabilities or contingent assets of the Group at reporting date.

9. DIVIDENDS

No dividend has been paid or is proposed in respect of the half-year ended 31 December 2010 (2009: None).

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

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Modena Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Modena Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Modena Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Basis for Qualification

As at the date of our report we have been unable to obtain all the supporting documentation required to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation to Modena Resources Limited’s operating subsidiaries located in the United States of America. Accordingly, we have been unable to perform sufficient audit procedures in relation the financial position and financial performance of these subsidiaries for the period ended 31 December 2010. Had we been able to obtain all the supporting documentation necessary to complete our review, matters might have come to our attention indicating that adjustments might be necessary to the half-year financial report.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the effect, if any, of the qualification included in the preceding paragraph, based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Modena Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter

Without additional qualification to the conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity has incurred a loss of $2,464,118 for the half year ended 31 December 2010 and as at 31 December 2010 has a working capital deficiency of $2,464,118. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
