MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW

BLUE SKY POWER FUNDING

Last year was a break through for Triple Energy Ltd ( Triple ) in securing the financing necessary to drill two new wells in the Company’s coal bed methane acreage in Hegang, China. Specifically, an investment of around A$6 million was made in Triple by Blue Sky Power Holdings Ltd ( BSP ), a company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE 6828).

As part of this transaction, BSP’s Chairman, Mr Tommy Cheng was appointed as the Non Executive Chairman of Triple. He was later joined by Mr Po Chan, as an Executive Director. BSP now holds just under 50% of the issued capital in Triple following the recent conversion of drilling Performance Shares. I am pleased to report that the relationship that has since developed between Triple and BSP is one of strong cooperation with the common objective of growing the Company significantly.

As a reminder to shareholders, BSP has a downstream strategy of, inter-­alia, generating electricity using cleaner sources of energy and in particular gas. Triple is thus a part of the vertically integrated “upstream” strategy of BSP’s energy strategy in China.

DRILLING IN HEGANG

As mentioned, BSP’s investment in Triple was mostly to fund the drilling of two new CBM wells and this was partly arranged by the issue of Performance Shares in Triple. Despite unforseen delays in drilling in 2015 and subsequent land access difficulties due to proximate underground coal mining activities, BSP delivered these services to the extent physically possible. Whilst the entire testing programme could not be completed, we did acquire a full suite of desorption logging and other necessary data to evaluate the gas in the coals in the drilling areas.

Specifically, the fraccing and testing programme physically cannot be undertaken in the Yixin-­1 well and the Niaoshan-­1 well did not demonstrate recoverable gas worthwhile testing. We thus sought and received shareholder approval to re-­ issue the Performance Shares pro rata to the work that was capable of being undertaken as per the Notice of Meeting dated 19 May 2016. These Performance Shares have since vested and have been converted on a pro-­rata basis with 318 million new ordinary shares having been issued.

NEW PROJECTS

2015 also saw a “sea-­change” for Triple as we have been able to commence looking for other energy projects in ChIna, beyond just the Heilongjiang Joint Venture. Specifically BSP has introduced Triple to other quality producing assets in China via its network of relationships and contacts.

The announcement in October 2015 of a Letter of Intent to acquire ready to develop coal bed methane project areas in the Hangcheng area was the first of these initiatives. The acreage involved is reasonably well understood in terms of the gas content and recovery rates. Consequently, when an agreement is executed, it is expected that Triple will be able to move quickly to monetise these project areas and emerge as a gas production company in China.

It is Triple’s objective to finalise this transaction as soon as possible. Internal modelling of these assets based on current assumptions demonstrates substantial potential value-­add for Triple shareholders.

The benefits of the strong relationship with BSP were further evident via the recent placement of shares to raise around A$1.75m to fund working capital and new ventures activities.

A number of other already producing energy assets in China are under review for possible future acquisition, consistent with Triple’s goal of growing its energy production portfolio in scale. Included in this review is the possibility of exercising Triple’s rights over the Jixi CBM area, which is included in Heilongjiang (Aolong) Joint Venture. This area already has five CBM wells drilled on it which Triple understands were successful and hence the area is ready to develop.

CLOSING

Whilst the drilling in Hegang last year was not as successful as we would have liked, Triple’s objective of establishing a portfolio of quality producing energy assets in China and dual listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange is still our primary focus.

I wish to thank the Board, staff and advisors of Triple located in the respective Perth, Hong Kong and Beijing offices for their considerable efforts. It has been a transformational year and I know we are all excited at the possibilities that are currently before us.

We look forward to ongoing shareholder support in pursuing these objectives and hope to see you at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in August.

�uring the prior financial year the Company announced the execution of a binding Memorandum of �nderstanding ��Mo��� with Blue Sky Power Holdings Limited � ��P �, whereby BSP would introduce investment of around A��m into the TNP Group to fund a two well drilling program in China and working capital � ��P ��a��a����� �. This investment was arranged by way of share placements plus the funding of a two well drilling program.

On �� April ���� Shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the BSP Transaction and subsequently the Company issued ���.� million new ordinary shares at an issue price of ��.��� per share and ���.3 million drilling performance shares to BSP, raising A��.�� million in new funds �before costs�. Of the ���.� million shares issued, �3.33 million were used to settle in full the A��.� million converting loan previously advanced by BSP.

Concurrent with the approval of the investment transaction, Triple welcomed Mr Tommy Cheng as Chairman to the Triple Board and Mr Po Chan to the Board as BSP’s second nominated director.

���� ���� ��� �������� ������������� �����

���e� ��e �e��� �� ��e ��P ��a��a������ the Aolong �oint �enture ���� profit interest to TNP�, entered into a drilling contract with Beijing �iu�un �nergy Technology Co Ltd � ������ ��e�g� � for the drilling and technical services for the two wells in the Hegang area of Heilongjiang Province in China.

�ull responsibility for payment for the �iu�un �nergy drilling services was assumed by BSP, in consideration for the drilling performance shares issued to them by Triple. The terms of these performance shares allow for their conversion to ordinary shares on a ��� basis upon satisfactory completion of the specified drilling services by an agreed milestone date.

Two wells were drilled during ���� under the arrangements with BSP and �iu�un �nergy� Niaoshan�� and �ixin��.

NIAOSHAN ��

The first of the two ���� wells was spudded on �� �une ����. The well was drilled to a Total �epth � �� � of �,��� metres �measured depth�, as planned. �ollowing wireline analysis and the completion of analysis of core desorption data, it was interpreted that the coal seams intersected in the well did not have sufficient gas content for the well to be commercial. This was interpreted to be due to leakage of the original gas in place through proximate fault planes. It was recently agreed that this well would be plugged and abandoned.

�I�IN��

The second ���� well was spudded in early September ���� and on �� November ���� had reached �T�� at �,��� metres �measured depth�. �ive coal seams intersected were cored and the cores analysed. �rill Stem Tests were also run and this data was analysed in conjunction with the core samples, mud and wireline logs. �ncouraging preliminary results of this analysis indicated that, whilst data were not conclusive�

  • the coal seams below Seam ��� have sufficient indications of gas charge to justify a fracture stimulation and test operation over one or more seams� and

  • �ixin�� data below Seam ��� are similar to observations from the ���3 �ian �ian�� well, supporting the case for a future re�entry of that well or a well in that area.

�raccing and testing operations were not able to be conducted immediately following the drilling, due to the free�ing temperatures over winter. Technical studies for the Hegang area were reviewed in detail by Triple and the drilling contractor and the results of this were announced by the Company in April ����.

In summary, the �ixin�� well drilled in ���� will not be fracced and tested as it has been established that this cannot be achieved safely due to a proximate unsealed borehole. Triple has been in detailed discussions Longmei in respect of this matter such that future drilling areas are not likewise affected.

Both wells drilled in ���� have already provided a great deal of valuable data �including core desorption and logging analysis and Triple remains confident as to the prospects of future drilling in this �oint �enture, especially in the �ixi area where the �oint �enture provides Triple with exclusivity subject to certain conditions.

The �ixi area has already shown considerable promise wherein TNP is advised that five CBM wells have already been drilled. Triple understands these wells have demonstrated good gas flow rates and as such, the area is likely ready for immediate development. TNP is accordingly arranging discussions with Longmei to procure the data from these wells with a view to exercising its rights over this area and adding this area to the portfolio.

Drilling Performance Shares

As at 3� �ecember ���� �the originally scheduled milestone completion date� the � wells had been drilled and cored as announced by the Company to AS� previously, however certain other specified components of the drilling services were not able to be met through no fault of Triple or BSP. A general meeting of the Company was convened and held on �� �une ���� to enable the drilling performance shares to be reissued on revised terms. Shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of reissuing the shares, which was completed immediately following the meeting. Subsequently, the Company and BSP determined a pro�rata vesting of the reissued shares based on the value of drilling services performed up to that date and 3�� million new fully paid ordinary shares were issued to BSP, while the balance of ��� million of the reissued drilling performance shares were agreed to have lapsed immediately in accordance with their terms.

New projects

In October ���� Triple signed a Letter of Intent �LoI� to acquire interests in a number of CBM blocks in Shaanxi Province, China. In summary, the LoI includes � x blocks covering around 3�� km[�] total in the Ordos Basin of Shaanxi Province in P�C. Triple continues to work actively towards concluding a transaction in relation to these blocks. An independent expert’s report on the blocks has been commissioned for due diligence purposes and documentation with relevant owners is progressing.

Management considers the Ordos Basin blocks to be well suited to the growth plans and overall strategy of Triple �nergy �and TNP’s major shareholder, Blue Sky Power�. Specifically, they have the potential to generate meaningful near term production and to book resources�reserves and thus further TNP’s goal to become a relevant gas production company, dual listed on the Australian and Hong Kong Stock �xchanges.

The consolidated net loss after income tax attributable to members of the Company amounted to ��,���,��3 ����� ���3,��3�.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

NOTE 1� STATEMENT OF SI�NIFICANT ACCO�NTIN� POLICIES

(a) �asis of preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations �ct 2001, �ccounting �tandards and Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the �roup). �or the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.

The financial statements have also been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The financial statements are presented in �ustralian dollars.

The Company is a listed public company, domiciled in �ustralia and operating in �ustralia (with subsidiaries operating internationally). The principal activity of the �roup is the exploration for natural resources.

�oin� �oncern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the commercial realisation of the �roup�s assets, and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The �roup has recorded a net loss after tax of �1,622,013 and net operating and investing cash outflows of �1,687,389 for the year. �t 31 �arch 2016, the �roup also had a wor�ing capital deficit of �421,456. Notwithstanding this, the �irectors have reviewed the �roup�s overall position 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, having regard, inter alia, to the post year-end placement of shares by the Company to raise approximately ��1.75m before associated costs.

(�) Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

In the year ended 31 �arch 2016, the �irectors have reviewed all of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations issued by the ���� that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

It has been determined by the �irectors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations on the �roup�s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to �roup accounting policies.

The �irectors have also reviewed all new �tandards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 31 �arch 2016. �s a result of this review the �irectors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised �tandards and Interpretations on the �roup�s business and, therefore, no change necessary to �roup accounting policies.

(c) Statement of compliance

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 �une 2016.

The financial statements comply with �ustralian �ccounting �tandards, which include �ustralian equivalents to International �inancial �eporting �tandards (�I���). Compliance with �I��� ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International �inancial �eporting �tandards (I���).

(d) �asis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Triple �nergy �td (�the Company�) as at 31 �arch 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Triple �nergy �td and its subsidiaries are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting 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.

TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED

TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

(d) �asis of consolidation (continued)

�ubsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the �roup and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the �roup. 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 existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing when the �roup controls another entity.

�nrealised gains or transactions between the �roup and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the �roup�s interests in the associates. �nrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. �ccounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the �roup.

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the �roup and are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. �osses are attributed to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance.

The �roup treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the �roup. � change in ownership interest results in an ad�ustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. �ny difference between the amount of the ad�ustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to owners of the Company.

�hen the �roup loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. �hen assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the �roup had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable �tandards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under ���� 139 ��inancial Instruments� �ecognition and �easurement� or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or �ointly controlled entity.

(e) Critical accounting �udgements and �ey sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of accounting policies requires the use of �udgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. �ctual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. �evisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Share-based payment transactions:

The �roup measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a �lac� and �choles model. The �roup measures the cost of share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the �lac� and �choles formula ta�ing into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 16.

Valuation of Performance Shares:

�uring the year the �roup issued 595.3 million drilling performance shares to the ��P group in consideration for the procurement of drilling services. The accounting value of the Performance �hares has been determining using the mar�et value of the Company�s shares as at the date of issue of the performance shares and with an assessment carried out at balance date as to the value of the drilling services performed and thereby the number of performance shares deemed li�ely to have vested at that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

(f)

Revenue Recognition

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

�i� �nterest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that ta�es into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

(g)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at ban� and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to �nown amounts of cash and which are sub�ect to an insignificant ris� of changes in value.

(h)

Trade and other receiva�les

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. �n allowance account is used when there is ob�ective evidence that the �roup will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. �actors considered by the �roup in ma�ing this determination include �nown significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in ma�ing contractual payments to the �roup.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. �hen a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. �ubsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

(i) Property� plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. �uch cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. �imilarly, when each ma�or inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.

�and and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on buildings and less any impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.

�epreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows�

�easehold Improvements � lease term

Plant and equipment � over 5 to 15 years

The assets� residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and ad�usted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

�i� �mpairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current mar�et assessments of the time value of money and the ris�s specific to the asset.

�or an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset�s value in use can be estimated to approximate fair value.

�n impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.

�or plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item.

(i) Property� plant and equipment (continued)

�iii� �ereco�nition and disposal

�n item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

�ny gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(�) Derecognition of financial assets and financial lia�ilities

�i� �inancial assets

� financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a �roup of similar financial assets) is derecognised when�

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired�

  • the �roup retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a �pass-through� arrangement� or

  • the �roup has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either�

  • (a) has transferred substantially all the ris�s and rewards of the asset, or

  • (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the ris�s and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

�hen continuing involvement ta�es the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the �roup�s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the �roup may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the �roup�s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.

�ii� �inancial liabilities

� financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

�hen an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

(�)

Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of Triple �nergy �imited is �ustralian dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. �onetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

(l)

Income ta�

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

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

  • �eferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except�

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss� or

(l) Income ta� (continued)

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in �oint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

�eferred 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 credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except�

  • when 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

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in �oint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance 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.

�nrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance 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.

�eferred 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 date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

�eferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(m) Other ta�es

�evenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of ��T except�

  • when the ��T incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the ��T 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 ��T included.

The net amount of ��T recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the �tatement of Cash �lows on a gross basis and the ��T 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 ��T recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(n) Impairment of assets

The �roup assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the �roup ma�es an estimate of the asset�s recoverable amount. �n asset�s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset�s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cashgenerating unit to which it belongs. �hen the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED

TRIPLE ENERGY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

(n) Impairment of assets (continued)

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current mar�et assessments of the time value of money and the ris�s specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

�n assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. � previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset�s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. �uch reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. �fter such a reversal the depreciation charge is ad�usted in future periods to allocate the asset�s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(o) Trade and other paya�les

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the �roup prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the �roup becomes obliged to ma�e future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the �roup 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.

�hen the �roup expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income 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 ris�s specific to the liability.

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

(q) Share��ased payment transactions The �roup provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the �roup in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is ta�en of any performance conditions, other than conditions lin�ed to the price of the shares of Triple �nergy �imited (mar�et conditions) if applicable.

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the �roup�s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No ad�ustment is made for the li�elihood of mar�et performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income or expense for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a mar�et condition. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. �owever, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

(r) 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.

(s) Earnings per share

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

�iluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit / loss attributable to members of the parent, ad�usted for�

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends�

  • 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, ad�usted for any bonus element.

(t)

E�ploration and evaluation

�xploration and evaluation expenditures 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 exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale� or

  • (b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest 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 in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

�xploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. �eneral and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

�xploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). �here an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

�here a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

(u) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision ma�er. The chief operating decision ma�er, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the �oard of �irectors of Triple �nergy �imited.

  • ii� Share-based payments

The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary underta�ings in the �roup is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary underta�ing. The fair value of employee services received� measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to the investment in subsidiary underta�ing, with a corresponding credit to equity.

(c) Ta� losses

�nused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised have not been recognised as a deferred tax asset as the future recovery of these losses is sub�ect to the Company satisfying the requirements imposed by the regulatory authorities. The benefit of deferred tax assets not brought to account will only be brought to account if�

  • �uture assessable income is derived of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised� and

  • The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with and no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.

Prior period tax losses are deductible to the Company if the Company continues to pass the requirements of either the continuity of ownership test or the same business test. It is probable that the Company has failed the continuity of ownership test and same business test during a previous financial year. �pecifically the Company�s ma�or shareholder disposed of its 56.67� interest in the Company on 25 �eptember 2009 resulting in the probable breach of the continuity of ownership test. �urther there was a change in the business of the Company as a result of the Company�s move away from the medical technology business conducted by it prior to November 2009. �s a result, as at 31 �arch 2014 it is assumed that the requirements of the continuity of ownership test have been satisfied from 25 �eptember 2009 onwards and therefore tax losses incurred prior to 25 �eptember 2009 are no longer tax deductible to the Company. �s at 31 �arch 2016 the Company has estimated carry forward tax losses of �1,993,984 (31 �arch 2015� �1,557,322).

(�) Performance Shares

�i� ��istin� �rillin� Performance Shares

�uring the year to 31 �arch 2016, the Company issued 595.3 million drilling performance shares to ��P as part of the �hareholder-approved ��P Transaction. �nder the terms of the ��P Transaction, the �olong �oint �enture (80� profit interest to TNP), entered into a drilling contract with �ei�ing �iu�un �nergy Technology Co �td ( �iu�un Energy ) for the drilling and technical services for the two wells in the �egang area of �eilong�iang Province in China.

�ull responsibility for payment for the �iu�un �nergy drilling services was assumed by ��P in consideration for the drilling performance shares issued to them by Triple. The terms of these performance shares allow for their conversion to ordinary shares on a 1�1 basis upon satisfactory completion of the specified drilling services by an agreed milestone date.

�s at 31 �ecember 2015 (the originally scheduled milestone completion date) the 2 wells had been drilled and cored as announced by the Company to ��� previously, however certain other specified components of the drilling services were not able to be met through no fault of Triple or ��P. The independent �irectors of Triple (being, in this instance the �irectors not nominated by or associated with ��P) resolved to ta�e such remedial action as may be necessary to enable the commercial substance and practical intent of the drilling services arrangements with ��P to be honoured. � general meeting of the Company was convened and held on 28 �une 2016 to enable the drilling performance shares to be reissued on revised terms. �hareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of reissuing the shares, which was completed immediately following the meeting. �ubsequently, the Company and ��P determined a pro-rata vesting of the reissued shares based on the value of drilling services performed up to that date and 318 million new fully paid ordinary shares were issued to ��P, while the balance of 277 million of the reissued drilling performance shares were agreed to have lapsed automatically in accordance with their terms.

The drilling performance shares were valued based on the mar�et price at the time of their original issue (being 24 �pril 2015) and sub�ect to an assessment as at balance date of the number of performance shares li�ely to have vested as at that date.

�ii� �apsed Prior �lasses of Performance Shares

On 7 �ebruary 2013, pursuant to shareholder approval, the Company issued 350,000,000 Performance �hares in respect of the acquisition of C�T �eilong�iang (��) �td. The Performance �hares were issued in 4 tranches and all 4 Tranches lapsed due to their relevant performance conditions not having been met. Tranches 1 and 2 lapsed in the year to 31 �arch 2014 and Tranches 3 and 4 (being two equal tranches of 250,000,000) lapsed in the year to 31 �arch 2015.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Triple Energy Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Triple Energy Limited (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2016, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for the Group. The Group comprises the company 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 of the 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 financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1(c), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report 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. Those 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 Group’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 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.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
