Review of Res ults

The consolidated loss for the 2011 financial year was $609,638 (2010: $6,835,137) and included the following material expenses:

  • An expense for the impairment in the value of the investment in Marion Energy of $247,500 (2010: $6,187,500); and

  • Finance costs of $175,411 (2010: $335,799).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The main priority for the Board during the year was to complete a recapitalisation process for the Company that eliminated the Company’s debt as well as provided the Company with sufficient funds to advance its current project and to pursue new business opportunities.

Argonaut Capital Limited was mandated to assist with the recapitalisation process, which was completed in the

March 2011 quarter, and comprised:

  • Share Placement – the issue of 125 million shares at $0.02 per share in December 2010. These shares received an entitlement to one option for every two new shares issued at no further consideration. These options are exercisable at $0.05 on or before 31 December 2014;

  • Debt for Equity – conversion of convertible notes with a face value of approximately $2.05 million into 102,494,993 shares together with an entitlement to 51,247,498 options (on the same terms and conditions as above); and

  • 1 for 2 non-renounceable entitlements issue – The Company issued a prospectus in December 2010 for the issue of new shares under an entitlements issue at $0.02 per share with the same rights to options as the above share placement. The entitlement offer closed on 31 January 2011, with the shortfall securities issued between 8 February and 16 February 2011.

The Company also continued to focus on identifying new business opportunities in the energy sector, and examined a number of oil and gas and other energy projects during the year.

Activities on the Company’s McClain County Project are currently being limited to desktop reviews of geological information and monitoring activities and results of nearby projects, due to a prolonged reduction in US gas prices.

Odyssey acquired a 50% working interest in this project in mid 2008 which is located in Oklahoma and comprises 1,626 gross acres, and targeting gas and associated oil in the Woodford Shale at between 6,000 and 8,000 feet.

The Company continues to hold 27.5 million shares in Marion Energy Limited which it received following the sale of its subsidiary OEL Operating (USA) to Marion Energy Limited.

Corporate and Financial Pos ition

The Company had cash reserves of approximately $2.3 million at 30 June 2011, placing the Company in a strong position to conduct its current activities and to pursue new business development opportunities.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Continued)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Bus ines s Strategies and Pros pects

The Company currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term:

  • continuing to examine other new business development opportunities in the energy sector;

  • assess options available to the Group in respect to the 27.5 million Marion Shares it now holds; and

  • • seek to maximise the value of the Group's current oil and gas assets, located in Oklahoma, USA.

Operations

In mid 2008 Odyssey acquired a 50% working interest in a new project area in Oklahoma comprising 1,626 gross acres, and targeting gas and associated oil in the Woodford Shale at between 6,000 and 8,000 feet.

The Company is undertaking desktop geological and other technical studies which will initially focus on the results achieved by other operations in the area.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year other than the following:

  • As outlined in the Review of Operations section, the Company completed a recapitalisation during the year which eliminated the Company’s debt and resulted in the Company having cash reserves of approximately $2.3 million at 30 June 2011.

  • The fair value of the Company’s shareholding in Marion Energy Limited reduced from $687,500 at 30 June 2010 to $440,000 at 30 June 2011 resulting in an impairment in value being recorded of $247,500.

SIGNIFICANT POST BALANCE DATE EVENTS

  • The Company holds 27,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Marion Energy Limited (“Marion”), which is listed on the ASX under the code MAE. Marion’s share price at 30 June 2011 was 1.6 cents per share (for a fair value of $440,000). As at 19 September 2011, Marion’s share price had decreased to 0.8 cents per share (for a fair value of $220,000), representing a decrease of $220,000 in the fair value of the Marion shares. Any decrease in the fair value of the Marion shares will be taken to a reserve, unless it is determined to be an impairment, in which case it will be taken to the profit and loss, in future reporting periods.

Other than as disclosed above, as at the date of this report there are no matters or circumstances, which have arisen since 30 June 2011 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect:

  • the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Consolidated Entity;

  • the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Consolidated Entity; or

  • the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Consolidated Entity.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Consolidated Entity's operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations under the relevant government's legislation, including Oklahoma, USA. Full compliance with these laws and regulations is regarded as a minimum standard for all operations to achieve.

Instances of environmental non-compliance by an operation are identified either by external compliance audits or inspections by relevant government authorities. There have been no significant known breaches by the Consolidated Entity during the financial year.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Group will seek to progress exploration, appraisal and field development activities on its remaining oil and gas projects. The Company will also continue to examine new opportunities in the energy sector.

These activities are inherently risky and there can be no certainty that the Group will be able to successfully achieve the objectives. In the opinion of the Directors, any further disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of these operations in subsequent financial years may prejudice the interests of the Company and accordingly further information has not been disclosed.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED

This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors' Report, sets out information about the remuneration of Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) of the Group.

Details of Key Management Pers onnel

The KMP of the Group during or since the end of the financial year were as follows:

Non-Executive Directors

Mr Ian Middlemas Non-Executive Chairman Mr David Cruse Non-Executive Director Mr Mark Pearce Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary

Unless otherwise disclosed, the KMP held their position from 1 July until the date of this report.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy for the Group's KMP (including the Managing Director) has been developed by the Board taking into account:

  • the size of the Group;

  • the size of the management team for the Group;

  • the nature and stage of development of the Group's current operations; and

  • market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.

In addition to considering the above general factors, the Board has also placed emphasis on the following specific issues in determining the remuneration policy for KMP:

  • the Company is currently focused on identifying new business projects, and undertaking exploration, appraisal and development activities;

  • risks associated with small cap resource companies whilst acquiring, exploring and developing projects; and

  • other than profit which may be generated from asset sales, the Company does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of gas from one or more of its current projects, or the acquisition of a profitable project.

Remuneration Policy for Executives

The Group's remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a performance based component (including options, see below). The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the considerations discussed in the section above and is appropriate in aligning KMP objectives with shareholder and business objectives.

Fixed Remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base salaries, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds and other non-cash benefits.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. The process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Continued)

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (Continued)

Remuneration Policy for Executives (Continued)

Performance Based Remuneration – Short Term Incentive

Executives may be entitled to an annual cash bonus upon achieving various key performance indicators (“KPI’s”), as set by the Board. The Board has focused the Consolidated Entity’s efforts on finding and completing new business opportunities. The Board considers that the prospects of the Consolidated Entity and resulting impact on shareholder wealth are largely linked to the success of this approach, rather than by referring to current or prior year earnings.

Accordingly, the Board may pay a bonus to executive KMP’s based on the success in generating suitable new business opportunities. A further bonus may also be paid upon the successful completion of a new business acquisition. No bonuses were paid during the current financial year.

Performance Based Remuneration – Long Term Incentive

The Board may issue incentive options to some executives as a key component of the incentive portion of their remuneration, in order to attract and retain the services of the executives and to provide an incentive linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity. The Board considers that for each executive who may receive options in the future, their experience in the resources industry will greatly assist the Consolidated Entity in progressing its projects to the next stage of development and the identification of new projects. As such, the Board believes that the number of incentive options to be granted to executives will be commensurate to their value to the Consolidated Entity.

The Board has a policy of granting incentive options to executives with exercise prices at and/or above market share price (at the time of agreement). As such, incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform to the level whereby the value of the Consolidated Entity increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted.

Other than service-based vesting conditions, there are not expected to be additional performance criteria on the incentive options granted to executives, as given the speculative nature of the Consolidated Entity’s activities and the small management team responsible for its running, it is considered the performance of the executives and the performance and value of the Consolidated Entity are closely related.

The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits KMP’s from entering into arrangements to limit their exposure to Incentive Options granted as part of their remuneration package.

Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Given the current size, nature and risks of the Company, incentive options have been used to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. Total directors' fees paid to all non-executive directors is not to exceed $150,000 per annum. Director's fees paid to Non-Executive Directors accrue on a daily basis. Fees for NonExecutive Directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and NonExecutive Directors may in limited circumstances receive incentive options in order to secure their services.

Fees for the Chairman are presently $36,000 (2010: $36,000) and fees for Non-Executive Directors' to 30 June 2011 were set at $15,000 per annum (2010: $15,000). From 1 July 2011 fees for Non-Executive Directors (other than the Chairman) have changed to $20,000 per annum. These fees cover main board activities only. NonExecutive Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company, including but not limited to, membership of committees.

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Relations hip between Remuneration of KMP and Shareholder Wealth

During the Company’s project identification, acquisition, exploration and development phases of its business, the Board anticipates that the Company will retain earnings (if any) and other cash resources for the exploration and development of its resource projects. Accordingly the Company does not currently have a policy with respect to the payment of dividends and returns of capital. Therefore there was no relationship between the Board’s policy for determining, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP and dividends paid and returns of capital by the Company during the current and previous four financial years.

The Board did not determine, the nature and amount of remuneration of the KMP by reference to changes in the price at which shares in the Company traded between the beginning and end of the current and the previous four financial years. Discretionary annual cash bonuses, when applicable, will be based on achieving various non financial key performance indicators to be determined by the Board. However, as noted above, KMP’s may receive Incentive Options in the future which generally will only be of value should the value of the Company’s shares increase sufficiently to warrant exercising the Incentive Options.

Relations hip between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings

As discussed above, the Company is currently undertaking new project acquisition, exploration and development activities, and does not expect to be undertaking profitable operations (other than by way of material asset sales, none of which is currently planned) until sometime after the successful commercialisation, production and sales of commodities from one or more of its projects. Accordingly the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous four financial years when determining, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP.

General

In addition to a focus on operating activities, the Board is also focused on finding and completing new business and other corporate opportunities. The Board considers that the prospects of the Company and resulting impact on shareholder wealth will be enhanced by this approach. Accordingly, the Board may pay a bonus or issue securities to Key Management Personnel (executive or non-executive) based on their success in generating suitable new business or other corporate opportunities. A bonus may be paid or an issue of securities may also be made upon the successful completion of a new business or corporate transaction. No bonus was paid during the current financial year.

Where required, Key Management Personnel receive superannuation contributions, currently equal to 9% of their salary, and do not receive any other retirement benefit. From time to time, some individuals have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel is valued at cost to the company and expensed. Incentive options are valued using the Binomial option valuation methodology. The value of these incentive options is expensed over the vesting period.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of the Company, Odyssey Energy Limited and its consolidated entities (“Consolidated Entity” or “Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2011 are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial report.

Odyssey Energy Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 19 September 2011.

(a) Bas is of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale investments, which have been measured at fair value.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

(b) Statement of Compliance

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. These new accounting standards have not had any significant impact on the Group’s financial report. Further details of these new accounting standards are set out in the individual accounting policy notes set out below.

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2011. These are outlined in the table over:

AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification
and measurement of financial assets resulting from
the first part of Phase 1 of the IASB’s project to
replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement (AASB 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement).
These requirements improve and simplify the
approach for classification and measurement of
financial assets compared with the requirements of
AASB 139. The main changes from AASB 139 are
described below.
(a) Financial assets are classified based on (1) the
objective of the entity’s business model for
managing the financial assets; (2) the
characteristics of the contractual cash flows. This
replaces the numerous categories of financial
assets in AASB 139, each of which had its own
classification criteria.
(b) AASB 9 allows an irrevocable election on initial
recognition to present gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading in other comprehensive income.
Dividends in respect of these investments that
are a return on investment can be recognised in
profit or loss and there is no impairment or
recycling on disposal of the instrument.
(c) Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through profit or loss at
initial recognition if doing so eliminates or
significantly reduces a measurement or
recognition inconsistency that would arise from
measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the
gains and losses on them, on different bases.

(Revised)
Related Party Disclosures
(December 2009)
The revised AASB 124 simplifies the definition of a
related party, clarifying its intended meaning and
eliminating inconsistencies from the definition,
including:
(a) The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an
associate with the same investor as related
parties of each other
(b) Entities significantly influenced by one person
and entities significantly influenced by a close
member of the family of that person are no longer
related parties of each other
(c) The definition now identifies that, whenever a
person or entity has both joint control over a
second entity and joint control or significant
influence over a third party, the second and third
entities are related to each other
A partial exemption is also provided from the
disclosure requirements for government-related
entities. Entities that are related by virtue of being
controlled by the same government can provide
reduced related party disclosures.

In particular, it amends AASB 8 Operating
Segments to require an entity to exercise
judgement in assessing whether a government
and entities known to be under the control of that

Amendments to Australian
Interpretation – Prepayments
of a Minimum Funding

These amendments arise from the issuance of
Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
(Amendments to IFRIC 14). The requirements of
IFRIC 14 meant that some entities that were
subject to minimum funding requirements could
not treat any surplus in a defined benefit pension
plan as an economic benefit.
The amendment requires entities to treat the
benefit of such an early payment as a pension
asset. Subsequently, the remaining surplus in the
plan, if any, is subject to the same analysis as if
no prepayment had been made.

(c) Principles of Cons olidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Odyssey Energy Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Odyssey Energy Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to as the Consolidated Entity or Group.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and potential effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Entity, using consistent accounting policies. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses and profits and losses between Group companies, are eliminated.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment in the individual financial statements of the Company.

(d) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.

The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

  • Nature of the products and services,

  • Nature of the production processes,

  • Type or class of customer for the products and services,

  • Methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and if applicable

  • Nature of the regulatory environment.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

(e) Foreign Currency Trans lation

Both the functional and presentation currency of the Parent Entity at 30 June 2011 was Australian Dollars.

The following table sets out the functional currency of the company controlled by the Parent Entity during the year:

Company Name Functional Currency
OEL E&P (USA), Inc United States Dollars

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to the profit and loss statement with the exception of differences in foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in the profit and loss statement. Tax charges and tax credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

22

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

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 that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.

Where the functional currency of a subsidiary of the Parent Entity is not Australian Dollars the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at reporting date are translated into the presentation currency of the Parent Entity at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the profit and loss statements are translated by applying the monthly average exchange rate.

Any exchange differences arising on this retranslation are taken directly to other comprehensive income.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity and relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit and loss.

(f) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i) Sale of Goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

(ii) Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying value amount of the financial asset.

(g) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Parent Entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 (Continued)

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(g) Income Tax (Continued)

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

Unrecognised 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.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

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

The Parent Entity and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities (if any) have not implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

(h) Bus ines s Combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3(2008) are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively ;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share based payment awards are measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment ; and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

24

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year.

(i) Impairment of As s ets

The Group 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 Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An 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. When 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.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An 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. A 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. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(j) Cas h and Cas h Equivalents

“Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined.

(k) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Impairment

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on trade and other receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(l) Financial As s ets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either loans and receivables, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially they are measured at fair value, plus, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, reevaluates this designation at each financial year-end.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other category. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within twelve months of the reporting date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity in the investments available-for-sale reserve. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments previously reported in equity are included in the profit and loss statement as gains and losses. Reversals of previous impairments of available-for-sale assets are not recognised through profit and loss.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the company financial statements.

(m) Fair Value Es timation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for longterm debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

26

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

(n) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Plant and equipment are depreciated or amortised on a reducing balance or straight line basis at rates based upon their expected useful lives as follows:

Life
Plant and equipment 2 - 15 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the profit and loss statement.

(o) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost and represent liabilities for the goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.

(p) Employee Leave Benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date, and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Contributions to the defined contribution superannuation fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(q) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

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.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 (Continued)

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(r) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the year but not distributed at balance date.

(s ) Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(t) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the 'area of interest' method and with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources , which is the Australian equivalent of IFRS 6.

Exploration licence acquisition costs are capitalised and subject to impairment testing every six months. All exploration and evaluation costs, including general permit activity, geological and geophysical costs and new venture activity costs are expensed as incurred except where:

  • the expenditure relates to an exploration discovery that, at balance date, has not been recognised as an area of interest, as assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves is not yet complete; or

  • an area of interest is recognised, and it is expected that the expenditure will be recouped through successful exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale.

The costs of drilling exploration wells are initially capitalised pending the results of the well. Costs are expensed where the well does not result in the successful discovery of economically recoverable hydrocarbons and the recognition of an area of interest. Areas of interest are recognised at the field level. Subsequent to the recognition of an area of interest, all further costs relating to the area of interest are capitalised.

Each potential or recognised area of interest is reviewed every six months to determine whether economic quantities of reserves have been found or whether further exploration and evaluation work is underway or planned to support the continued carry forward of capitalised costs.

Data licenses acquired are carried initially at cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over the number of wells in the drilling program to which the acquisition related. Where a determination is made that there is no further value to be extracted from the data licenses then any unamortised balance is written off.

Once management has determined the existence of economically recoverable reserves for an area of interest, deferred costs are reclassified from exploration and evaluation expenditure to oil and gas properties on the statement of financial position.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

28

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

(u) Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and gas properties are carried at cost and include acquisition costs, drilling, completion, operating costs and transferred exploration and evaluation expenditure.

Oil and gas properties are amortised using a units-of-production method, based on the ratio of actual production to remaining proved and probable reserves (2P) as estimated by independent petroleum engineers.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the oil and gas property is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

(v) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST 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 are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST 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 Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(w) Share Bas ed Payments

Equity settled transactions

The Group provides benefits to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby the Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The Group may also extinguish liabilities by issuing equity instruments.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model.

In accordance with Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments equity instruments issued in payment of a debt are measured at the fair value of equity instrument issued. Any difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of financial performance.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the market price of the shares of the Company if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant recipient becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

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 Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2011

Odys s ey Energy Limited

29

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 (Continued)

The profit and loss statement charge or credit 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 market 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 recipient, 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. However, 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.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(x) Provis ions

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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.

When the Group 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 profit and loss statement net of any reimbursement.

(y) Convertible Notes

Convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, where the number of shares issued does not vary with changes in their fair value, are accounted for as compound financial instruments. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of a compound financial instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds. The equity component of the convertible notes is calculated as the excess of the issue proceeds over the present value of the future interest and principal payments, discounted at the market rate of interest applicable to similar liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The interest expense recognised in the profit and loss statement is calculated using the effective interest method.

(z) Non-current As s ets held for Sale and Dis continued Operations

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets (and all assets and liabilities in a disposal group) is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in profit or loss. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent remeasurement.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also qualify.

30

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

(aa) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit and loss statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(ab) Critical Accounting Es timates , As s umptions and J udgements

In applying the Group's accounting policies, management continually evaluates judgements, estimates and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the Group. All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below.

(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(A) Impairment of assets

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, in the absence of quoted market prices, estimations are made regarding the present value of future cash flows. In relation to the Company’s investment in Marion Energy Limited, which is classified as an available for sale financial asset. Due to continued deterioration in the company’s share price, large increase in the number of shares on issue, continual operational issues and the high risk associated with the investment, the reduction in value of the shares has been treated as an impairment loss and has been recognised as an expense in the Income Statement rather than being recognised directly in equity.

(B) Reserve estimates

Estimates of recoverable quantities of proven and probable reserves reported include judgemental assumptions regarding commodity prices, exchange rates, discount rates and production and transportation costs for future cash flows. It also requires interpretation of complex and difficult geological and geophysical models in order to make an assessment of the size, shape, depth and quality of reservoirs, and their anticipated recoveries. The economic, geological and technical factors used to estimate reserves may change from period to period. Changes in reported reserves can impact asset carrying values, the provision for restoration and the recognition of deferred tax assets, due to changes in expected future cash flows. Reserves are integral to the amount of depreciation, depletion and amortisation charged to the profit and loss statement and the calculation of inventory.

(ii) Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies

(A) Exploration and evaluation

The group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets is set out at Note 1(t). The application of this policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves have been found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure under the policy, the Group concludes that it is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the profit and loss statement. All exploration and evaluation expenditure has been impaired in prior years because of the substantial decline in the gas price in the USA impacting on the projects viability.

(c) Terms and Conditions of Ordinary Shares

(i) General

The ordinary shares (“Shares”) are ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with all ordinary shares in the Company.

The rights attaching to the Shares arise from a combination of the Company's Constitution, statute and general law. Copies of the Company's Constitution are available for inspection during business hours at its registered office.

(ii) Reports and Notices

Shareholders are entitled to receive all notices, reports, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to shareholders under the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(iii) Voting

Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of the Company on a show of hands, every ordinary Shareholder present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative (in the case of a company) has one vote and upon a poll, every Shareholder present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative (in the case of a company) has one vote for any Share held by the Shareholder.

A poll may be demanded by the Chairperson of the meeting, any 5 Shareholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative or by any one or more Shareholders holding not less than 5% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote.

(iv) Variation of Shares and Rights Attaching to Shares

Shares may be converted or cancelled with member approval and the Company's share capital may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act.

Class rights attaching to a particular class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares in that class or by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class.

(v) Unmarketable Parcels

The Company may procure the disposal of Shares where the member holds less than a marketable parcel of Shares within the meaning of the Listing Rules (being a parcel of shares with a market value of less than $500). To invoke this procedure, the Directors must first give notice to the relevant member holding less than a marketable parcel of Shares, who may then elect not to have his or her Shares sold by notifying the Directors.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJ ECTIVES AND POLICIES

(a) Overview

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise available for sale financial assets, receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk, equity price risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Other than as disclosed, there have been no significant changes since the previous financial year to the exposure or management of these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Given the nature and size of the business, no formal risk management committees have been established, however responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the appropriate level of management with the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (or their equivalent) having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and control framework.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

46

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

(a) Overview (Continued)

Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk management include monthly reporting to the Board in respect of the operations and financial position of the Company and Group. The Board also reviews risks that relate to operations and financial instruments as required, but at least every six months.

Given the uncertainty as to the timing and amount of cash inflows and outflows, the Company has not implemented any additional strategies to mitigate the financial risks and no hedging has been put in place. As the Company's operations change, the Directors will review this policy periodically going forward.

The Company's policy is that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken for the purposes of making speculative gains.

The Company currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage market risk.

Due to the changes in the global economy there has been a significant decline in the value of available for sale financial assets.

(b) Credit Ris k

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company or Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. This arises principally from cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Consolidated Entity. The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity's financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, as represented below:

Notes
2011
2010
$ $
Cash and cash equivalents 20(b)
2,353,959
22,596
5
31,327
39,527
Trade and other receivables
2,385,286
62,123

The Consolidated Entity does not have any significant customers and accordingly does not have any significant exposure to bad or doubtful debts.

Trade and other receivables comprise trade receivables, interest accrued and GST refunds due. Where possible the Consolidated Entity trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Consolidated Entity's policy that, where possible, customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Consolidated Entity's exposure to bad debts is not significant. At 30 June 2011, none (2010: none) of the Consolidated Entity's receivables are past due.

With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, the Consolidated Entity's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

(c) Liquidity Ris k

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company and Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that the Company will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. This is monitored by the preparation of monthly cash flow reports, and regular forecasts as required but at least every six months.

(d) Currency Ris k

(i) Exposure to currency risk

The Company and the Group are exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company and its controlled entity. The functional currency of the Company is Australian Dollars (AUD) and of its controlled entity is United States Dollars (USD).

As the Company's loan to its controlled entity is denominated in AUD the Company has not been exposed to currency risk in respect to this balance. Foreign currency gains/losses recorded by the subsidiary are taken to foreign currency reserve.

Foreign currency risk also arises on translation of the net assets of the controlled entity into AUD for consolidation purposes. The foreign currency gains or losses arising from this risk are recorded through the foreign currency translation reserve.

As a result of activities overseas, the Group's statement of financial position can be affected by movements in exchange rates.

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases denominated in foreign currencies. The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage foreign currency risk.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis for currency risk

A sensitivity of 10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of exchange rates and the volatility observed both on an historical basis and market expectations for future movement. The year end USD exchange rate was 1.060 (2010: 0.8567). Had this increased by 10% to 1.166 (2010: 0.9424) consolidated equity would not have changed (2010: increase of $597) and consolidated loss also would not have changed (2010: $40,262). Had this decreased by 10% to 0.954 (2010: 0.7710) consolidated equity would not have changed (2010: decrease of $597) and consolidated loss would also not have changed (2010: $40,262).

There would be no impact on profit or loss arising from changes in the currency risk variables relating to the Group's activities overseas as all changes in value are taken to a reserve.

48

==> picture [147 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

(e) Interes t Rate Ris k

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the cash and short-term deposits with a floating interest rate.

These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities, in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing or were fixed interest bearing (in the case of the convertible notes and the short term borrowing facility).

(i) Exposure to interest rate risk

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments were:

(B) At 30 June 2010, the Company had an unsecured loan from an unrelated party. The loan was unsecured, repayable on 31 December 2010 and had interest payable of 10% per annum on repayment of the full amount. The loan was repaid on 3 December 2010. (refer Note 10).

(C) The convertible notes payable had a fixed interest rate of 9% and were repayable on 23 March 2011, if not redeemed or converted prior to this date. Refer to Note 10 for further details of terms and conditions. These were repaid on 23 March 2011.

The Group currently does not engage in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.

(ii)

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A sensitivity of 20% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term interest rates. A 20% movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJ ECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

(f) Commodity Price Ris k

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk. These commodity prices can be volatile and are influenced by factors beyond the Group's control. As the Group is currently engaged in exploration and business development activities, no sales of commodities are forecast for the next 12 months, and accordingly, no hedging or derivative transactions have been used to manage commodity price risk.

(g) Equity Price Ris k

(i) Exposure to equity price risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from its equity investment in Marion Energy Limited (Marion). The equity investment is currently held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Company does not actively trade these investments and no hedging or derivative transactions have been used to manage equity price risk.

The Company holds 27.5 million shares in Marion which are listed on the ASX (under the code of MAE). Marion has recently announced that it has scaled back its operations pending the outcome of a major corporate restructuring. It is expected that the result of its restructuring and operating activities, and its ability to continue to refinance its debt, will impact on the price at which Marion Energy's shares trade on the ASX. With respect to equity price risk arising from the Company's equity investments, the maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of the Company's equity investments.

The Company's investment is classified as available-for-sale and is carried at fair value. The Directors have determined the fair value to be $440,000, based on the market value for the company's shares traded on the ASX. A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of this investment (refer Note 4).

(ii) Sensitivity analysis for equity price risk

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the reporting date, which has been determined based on recent movements in the price of the underlying financial assets. At reporting date, if the equity prices had been 100% higher or lower (2010: 100%):

  • net loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 would increase/decrease by $440,000 (2010: $687,500) as although the equity investments are classified as available for sale and no investments were disposed of the directors have treated the movement in value as being an impairment; and

  • equity reserves would increase/decrease by $440,000 (2010: $687,500) for the Company as a result of the changes in fair value of available for sale investments.

(h) Fair Value

The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying value. The methods for estimating fair values are outlined in the relevant notes to the Financial Statements. In the current and in the comparative period, the securities were measured at fair value by direct reference to quoted market prices, in an active market.

(i) Capital Management

The Board's policy is to maintain a suitable capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Given the stage of development of the Company, the Board's objective is to minimise debt going forward and to raise funds as required through the issue of new shares. However, the Board will undertake short term borrowings to provide temporary funding where appropriate. The Company is currently examining new business opportunities where acquisition/working capital requirements of a new project may involve additional funding in some format (which may include debt, where appropriate).

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Commitments

The Group has no commitments for expenditure. However, it should be noted that the Group intends to conduct exploration and appraisal activities on its oil and gas leases.

(b) Contingencies

At balance date the Group has no contingent assets or liabilities.

24. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Recognis ed Share-Bas ed Payment Expens e

From time to time, the Group provides incentive options to officers, employees, consultants and other key advisors as part of remuneration and incentive arrangements. The number of options granted, and the terms of the options granted are determined by the Board. Shareholder approval is sought where required. During the 2011 year the only share based payment transaction was for the extinguishment of a creditor (refer to Note 3(e)).

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  • The Company holds 27,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Marion Energy Limited (“Marion”), which is listed on the ASX under the code MAE. Marion’s share price at 30 June 2011 was 1.6 cents per share (for a fair value of $440,000). As at 19 September 2011, Marion’s share price had decreased to 0.8 cents per share (for a fair value of $220,000), representing a decrease of $220,000 in the fair value of the Marion shares. Any decrease in the fair value of the Marion shares will be taken to a reserve, unless it is determined to be an impairment, in which case it will be taken to the profit and loss, in future reporting periods.

Other than as disclosed above, as at the date of this report there are no matters or circumstances which have arisen since 30 June 2011 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect:

  • the operations, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Company or Consolidated Entity;

  • the results of those operations, in financials years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Company or Consolidated Entity; or

  • the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2011, of the Company or Consolidated Entity.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Odyssey Energy Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 14 to 52.

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 1b, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated financial statements comply 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 entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, 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 the entity’s 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.

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