NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006

$\mathbf{I}$ . BASIS OF PREPARATION

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

The half-year report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report of Uranium Oil and Gas Limited as at 30 June 2006. It is also recommended that the halfyear report be considered together with any public announcements made by Uranium Oil and Gas Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2006 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis of Accounting

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards including AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The comparative figures for 2005 are for the period from incorporation (3 August 2005) to 31 December 2005.

Compliance with A-IFRS's

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (A-IFRSs). Compliance with A-IFRSs ensures that the financial report that includes the Company's financial statements and notes comply with A-IFRSs.

The half-year financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention. The half year report does not include full disclosure of the type normally included in an annual financial report. For the purposes of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

Accounting Policies

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure $(a)$

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is written off as incurred. Acquisition expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest held in the name of the Company. These acquisition costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not vet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated acquisition costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Where the abandoned area has previously been revalued, the previous revaluation increment is reversed against the Asset Revaluation Reserve.

When production commences, the accumulated acquisition and development costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. Any costs of site restoration are provided for during the relevant production stages and included in the costs of that stage.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(b) Recoverable Amount

Non current assets are not revalued to an amount above their recoverable amount, and where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount assets are written down. In determining recoverable amount the expected net cash flows are discounted to their present value.

$\left( \mathbf{c} \right)$ Property, Plant & Equipment

Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the diminishing value method over their estimated useful lives to the Company. The depreciation rates used for each class of asset for the current period are as follows:

  • Furniture & Fittings 20% $\bullet$
  • $7.5%$ Plant & Equipment
  • Computer Equipment 40%

Assets are depreciated from the date the asset is ready for use.

$(d)$ Income Tax

Under AASB 112 "Income Taxes", a balance sheet approach is adopted for calculating taxation. This method recognises deferred tax balances for all temporary differences arising between the carrying value of an asset or liability and its tax base. The Company adopts the balance sheet method of tax-effect accounting. The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non assessable or disallowable items.

Timing differences, which arise due to the different accounting years in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of the operating result before income tax and taxable income are brought to account as either provision for deferred income tax or an asset described as future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the year in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.

Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless it is highly probable of realisation of the benefit.

(e) Employee Benefits

$\hat{L}$ Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other creditors 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.

Long service leave ii.

The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents $(f)$

For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash within 30 working days, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Accounts Payable $(2)$

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services already received, whether or not yet billed to the Company. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30 days.

(h) Revenue Recognition

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

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Issued Capital $(i)$

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction in share proceeds received.

$(i)$ Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. whether or not billed to the Company.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

Joint Ventures $(k)$

Interest in the joint venture operation is brought to account by including in the respective classifications, the share of individual assets employed and share of liabilities and expenses incurred.

Leases $\mathbf{a}$

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis.

(m) Earnings Per Share

i. Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the Company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

ii. Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial 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.

Financial Instruments $(n)$

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term, or if so designed by management and within the requirement of AASB139 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Derivatives are also categories as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Realised and

URANIUM OIL AND GAS LIMITED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Held-to-maturity investments

These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the Company's intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the group are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Financial liabilities

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities. including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In this case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF URANIUM OIL AND GAS LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Uranium Oil and Gas Limited, which comprises the condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, and the condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors' declaration in order for the disclosing entity to lodge the half-year financial report with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

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 an Interim 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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the disclosing entity's financial position as at 31 December 2006 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 Uranium Oil and Gas Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

Level 8, 256 St George's Terrace Perth WA 6000 PO Box 7426 Cloisters Square Perth WA 6850 Tel: (61-8) 9360 4200 Fax: (61-8) 9481 2524 Email: [email protected] www.hdo.com.au

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, provided to the directors of Uranium Oil and Gas Limited on 27 February 2007, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor's review report.

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 Uranium Oil and Gas Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the disclosing entity's financial position as at 31 (a) December 2006 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
