PILOT ENERGY LIMITED A.B.N. 86 115 229 984 And its controlled entities

Report on the Pro-Forma Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying Pro-Forma Financial Information (the 'Pro-Forma') for Pilot Energy Limited and its controlled entities (Pilot Group), which comprises the Pro-Forma as at 31 May 2021 and supporting notes.

The compilation of the Pro-Forma, (the 'Financial Information') comprises the following information:

  • Unaudited statement of financial position as at 31 May 2021 for Pilot Energy Limited
  • Unaudited statement of financial position as at 31 May 2021 for Royal Energy Pty Limited
  • The proposed capital raising of $8,000,000 expected to be completed on or around 10th of August 2021

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Information and Pro-Forma

The directors of the Pilot Group are responsible for the preparation of the Pro-Forma that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Pro-Forma that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Pro-Forma based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2405: Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report, 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 Pro-Forma is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Pilot Group financial position on completion of the proposed transaction.

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

Independence

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the compilation of the Pro-Forma of the Pilot Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including giving a true and fair view of the Pilot Group's financial position following the completion of the proposed transaction.
