Review of Operations

THE AOLONG COAL MINE GAS (CMG) PROJECT

Summary of Field Operations

During the year, the company operated and funded the Xian- Xian-1 well in the Heilongjiang Province in China on behalf of the Heilongjiang Aolong Energy Co., (“Heilongjiang Aolong Joint Venture”) (Triple 80%).

Drilling operations were completed in July 2013. A report prepared by AWT International technical consultants based on the well completion report and wireline logs of the well confirms that the well intersected;

  • A total of 63.4 meters of coal seams

  • 47.2 meters of coal seams with a thickness of > 2 meters

  • 37 meters of gassy coal seams at Seam # 11 and below

Detailed analytical work on the Drill Stem Test (DSTs) demonstrates that the permeability in the coal seams tested was better than originally interpreted with Seam 15 now measured at 3.56 md. This contributes to our view that these coals are suitable for unconventional gas production (subject to the gas saturation levels) which are planned to be acquired from the next corehole drilling programme in 2014.

Xian-Xian – 1 well site – July 2013

AWT International (“AWT”) has prepared a report summarizing the well results for a Farm-out Information Memorandum.

The following are extracts from the AWT report;

“Prior to drilling the recently completed well, the area proximate to the well (Xian Xian) was estimated to have an average net coal thickness of 27.18m, spread across four coal seams, giving an estimated GIP of 122.17 BCF.

The Xian Xian-1 well has added a significant volume of coal to the total net thickness, with total coal seam thickness increasing from 27.18m to 63.4m . In addition to this the Xian Xian-1 well has shown that other seams are present in the area and how thick each one is. Xian Xian-1 well was drilled to prove coal thicknesses and test coal permeability to ultimately give indications as to whether a potential gas resource could be recovered.

It is clear from gas show data (on mud logs) that the coals are gas bearing and that there is likely a relationship between gas content and depth. In total there are 12 coal seams that have significant gas shows (greater than 2%). It would be very beneficial to progressing this project to undertake gas desorption analysis on at least these coal seams.

Gas shows in the Xian-Xian-1 well suggest that coal seams below 480m contain significantly greater gas, and that for the most part, gas saturation/content is likely to increase with depth. The total gas shows of up to 15% in Xian Xian-1 are significantly higher than those seen in the Surat Basin (often around 5%).”

Indicative Well and Contract Planning – 2014 Well Campaign

Subject to funding, the well campaign for 2014 is in planning and will likely consist of one or more core-holes (to acquire desorption data such that (inter alia) gas saturation levels can be calculated) plus one or possibly two pilot flow-test wells. In addition, planning is underway to re-enter Xian Xian-1 to drill a lateral section in one of the intersected coal seams with a view to flow testing and obtaining long-term pilot production information.

The existing bore-hole data acquired by the 20% joint venture participant in the Heilongjiang Aolong Joint Venture, LongMay Coal Mining Company is being collated and interpreted in detail against the results of the Xian-Xian -1 for future well planning.

The preliminary wells plan(s) and well locations are under preparation with a view to commence contracting rig(s) and associated services for the 2014 well campaign as soon as possible.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The interim financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

This condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. 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 report.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 31 March 2013 and any public announcements made by Triple Energy Limited (“Triple”) during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except as set out below.

Basis of preparation

The interim report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments to 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 interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

Going concern

For the period ended 30 September 2013 the Group recorded a net loss of $230,992, a net operating cash outflow of $356,889 and a net investing cash outflow of $1,641,471.

Notwithstanding the above, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business and on the assumption of sufficient funds continuing to be available for the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 the consolidated entity’s operations and further develop its projects during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report. The Directors are reviewing a number of funding options, (including, as disclosed elsewhere in this report a farmout of part of its project interest) and are confident that the necessary funding can be sourced.

In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in deriving sufficient additional funding for its operations there would exist a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the interim financial report.

Significant accounting judgements and key estimates

The preparation of interim financial reports 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 interim report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key estimates of uncertainty were the same as those applied for the year ended 31 March 2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the half-year ended 30 September 2013, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2013.

It has been determined by the Directors 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 Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 30 September 2013. 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 the Group’s business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

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, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group 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.

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 three preceding 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.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

Impairment of financial assets

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

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 statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 5: OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identification of reportable segments

Triple Energy Limited is focused on the oil and gas sector.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive and technical consultants (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on the nature of its interests and projects. Discrete financial information about each of these projects is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.

Location of interests and nature of projects

Oil and gas exploration projects

The Group’s current project is located in the People’s Republic of China. The Company continues to review other potential opportunities within the oil and gas sector internationally.

Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in Note 1 to the accounts and in the prior period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Triple Energy Limited

Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Triple Energy Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 30 September 2013, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

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 30 September 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 the company, 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 .

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 Triple 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 30 September 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 .

Continuation as a Going Concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which indicates that the Group will require additional sources of funding to enable it to continue to fund its and the consolidated entity’s operations and further develop its resource asset during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report. In the event the Group is unsuccessful in deriving sufficient additional funding, there would exist material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt whether the company would be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it would be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the interim financial report.
