Yours sincerely

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of Macro Energy Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Macro Energy Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed statement of cash flows and the condensed statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and, the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 5 to 15.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company 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 internal 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 half-year 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 2013 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 Macro Energy 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.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

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 Macro Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited

Conclusion

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 Macro Energy 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 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

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

Macro Energy Limited Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2013

1. Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent financial report.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s 2013 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, except for the necessity to enhance the accounting policy with respect to the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

New or Revised Standards and Interpretations

The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting period, being the half year ended 31 December 2013.

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current financial reporting period that are relevant to the Consolidated Entity:

  • AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’

  • AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13’

The adoption of the above standards have not had any material impact on the reported figures.

10

Macro Energy Limited Notes to Condensed consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2013

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The consolidated entity has incurred a loss for the half year after tax of $441,179 and experienced operating cash outflows of $425,724. As at 31 December 2013 the consolidated entity has total current assets of $3,553,891 which includes $3,319,105 in cash and cash equivalents.

The directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis for the following reasons:

  • (i) The Company has in place processes aimed at minimising all discretionary expenditures going forward;

  • (ii) The Company believes that it has the capacity to raise new equity to invest in the ongoing development of its prospective oil and gas interests based upon the indicative results achieved to date on each of the projects;

  • (iii) The Company is not committed to future drilling and well completion costs, beyond the commitments disclosed in note 9 to these accounts, as such that the Company will only expend future amounts if they have sufficient cash to meet the cost; and

  • (iv) Management has reviewed the cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from date of approval of this half-year report, and noted that the consolidated entity has sufficient cash resources to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have reviewed the consolidated entity’s overall position and outlook in respect of the matters identified above and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances.
