DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your directors submit the financial report of the Group for the half-year ended 30 September 2015. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

Directors

The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the interim period and until the date of this report are noted below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Ming Kit (Tommy) Cheng Non-Executive Chairman
Paul Underwood CEO / Managing Director
Garry Ralston Non-Executive Director
Po Siu Chan Executive Director (appointed 29 April 2015)

Operating results

The loss of the Group for the half-year after income tax was $444,828 (30 September 2014 loss: $265,229), which includes a non-cash accounting expense relating to shareholder-approved share-based payments of $165,319 (30 September 2014: $Nil).

Review of Operations

Corporate & Financial

During 2014 a binding MoU was signed with Blue Sky Power Holdings Limited (“BSP”), for an investment package whereby BSP would invest to fund Triple’s 2-well drilling program at its Aolong JV Project as part of its overall gas strategy in China. The BSP investment incorporated a two-stage share placement, convertible loan funding advanced to the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary and the procuring of drilling services for two new wells to be settled by the issue of shares.

On 24 April 2015 Triple shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the BSP financing transaction. Pursuant to that approval, the Company issued 292 million new fully paid ordinary shares to BSP, together with 595 million Performance Shares, which will convert on the successful completion of drilling services for the Company’s 2015 Drilling Program. It is likely that the Performance Shares will vest in the near term as two wells have now been drilled and cored (see below). In accordance with the terms of the transaction, Triple also welcomed Mr Po Chan to the Company’s Board as an executive director on 29 April 2015.

Drilling Activities

Two wells were drilled during 2015 at the Company’s 80%-owned Aolong JV project in the Peoples Republic of China (“PRC”), Niaoshan-1 and Yixin-1.

Niaoshan-1 (Bird Mountain Area)

The Niaoshan-1 well was spudded in late June 2015 and had reached its programmed Total Depth (“TD”) of 1,261 metres (measured depth) on 28 September 2015, subsequent to which a decision was made to run production casing, pending completion of preliminary core desorption analysis on seams intersected. On 19 October 2015, a review of these data by the Joint Venture indicated that the coal seams intersected did not have sufficient gas content for the well to be commercial. It is prognosed that, although coal seams were intersected at depths approximately in-line with pre-drill expectations, gas at this location may have leaked into adjacent sandstone reservoirs and escaped to the surface via faults in the area.

T r i p l e E n e r g y L i m i t e d

Yixin-1 (Yixin Area)

The Yixin-1 Well was spudded in mid-September 2015 and had reached its programmed TD of 1,090 metres (measured depth) on 16 October 2015. Preliminary interpretation of core data and logging results are considered encouraging by the Company and suggest that, whilst this data is still not definitive, the coal seams below Seam#11 may have sufficient gas charge to justify a fracc and test operation over one or more seams. The data for these seams are similar to those observed in the 2013 Xian Xian well and hence the re-entry of Xian Xian for fraccing and testing is also under discussion.

New Projects

Subsequent to period-end, Triple announced on 12 October 2015 that the Company had entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LoI) with Xian Moke Industrial Co. Ltd ( Moke ) to acquire 100% ownership of Moke and consequently an operating interest in up to four coal bed methane blocks (“CBM”) located in the Ordos basin of Shaanxi Province in the Peoples Republic of China ( PRC ). The LoI includes a total of 4 blocks covering around 378 km[2] in the Ordos Basin of Shaanxi Province in PRC. The Tongchuan Block already has eight CBM wells drilled with seven currently on test production.

The WangFeng Block has four wells drilled to date with two on test production and a full field development plan is underway. Due Diligence activities are progressing and in conjunction with this the parties are currently negotiating the final adjusted purchase price, which is intended to be paid by the issue of shares in Triple, subject to the finalisation of due diligence, reserves report and any necessary regulatory approvals etc.

Capital Structure

The Company currently has 1,132,940,941 ordinary shares, 97,000,000 options and 595,264,168 performance shares (subject to vesting conditions which are expected to be met) on issue.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, HLB Mann Judd, to provide the directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the review of the interim financial report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 5 and forms part of this directors’ report for the half-year ended 30 September 2015.

This report is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors made pursuant to s.306(3) of the Corporations Act 2001.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015

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 2015 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

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

For the period ended 30 September 2015 the Group recorded a net loss after tax of $444,828 and net operating and investing cash outflows of $693,714. At 30 September 2015, the Group also had working capital of $739,605. Therefore, the Directors have identified a need for the Group to raise further capital in order to fund the ongoing exploration activities and to meet the working capital requirements of the business.

The Directors have reviewed the Group’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. However, if the Group is unable to obtain sufficient additional funding through the raising of capital, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Significant accounting judgments and key estimates

The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgments, 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.

Expect as described below, in preparing this interim report, the significant judgments 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 2015.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Share-based payments and short term incentive payment

The Group 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 Black and Scholes model. The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black and Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the half-year ended 30 September 2015, 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 2014.

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 2015. 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015

NOTE 5: OPERATING SEGMENTS

Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being oil and gas exploration and development in the People’s Republic of China. As the Group is focused on the oil and gas sector, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted revenues and expenditure incurred by area of interest. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the company and its ongoing activities, while also taking into consideration the results of work that has been performed to date.

NOTE 6: DIVIDENDS

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 2015, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows for the half-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 halfyear’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ responsibility for the 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 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 Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2015 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 Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2015 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 .

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the half-year financial report which indicates that additional funding is required to ensure that the Group can continue as a going concern. If the Group is unable to obtain sufficient additional funding, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business.
