ADVANCE ENERGY LIMITED - HALF YEAR REPORT – 30 JUNE 2011

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

1. REPORTING ENTITY

Advance Energy Limited (“Advance”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ending 30 June 2011 comprises Advance and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “consolidated entity”) and the consolidated entities interests in associated and jointly controlled entities.

The consolidated annual financial report of the consolidated entity as at and for the year ended 31 December 2010 is available upon request from Advance’s website www .advanceenergyltd.com.au , the ASX website or the companies registered office at Suite 2 , 16 Ord Street, WEST PERTH, Western Australia 6872.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The consolidated interim financial report does not include all of the notes and information normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2010 and any public announcements made by Advance Energy Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules .

This consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 29[th] August 2011.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied by the consolidated entity in this consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the consolidated entity in its consolidated financial report for the year ended 31 December 2010.

 Impact of standards issued but not applied by the entity

AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the group’s accounting for its available-for sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. In current reporting period, the group has not recognised such gains or loss.

There will be no impact on the group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been

ADVANCE ENERGY LIMITED Half Year Report for period ended 30 June 2011 ASX CODE: AVD www.advanceenergyltd.com.au

pg. 9

ADVANCE ENERGY LIMITED - HALF YEAR REPORT – 30 JUNE 2011

changed. The group has not yet decided to adopt AASB 9.

4. ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this consolidated interim financial report the significant judgements made by management in applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ending 31 December 2010.

5. GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As at 30 June 2011, the Group had net current assets of A$207,961 (31 December 2010 : A$1.069 million) and net asset deficiency of A$5.781 million (31 December 2010 : A$4.851 million). The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 30 June 2011 of A$837,076 (30 June 2010 : A$1,416,535).

Net cash outflow from operating activities of A$1,457,932 (2010 : A$870,937) were recorded for the six month period.

The Directors believe that there are sufficient funding strategies and alternatives to meet the Group’s working capital requirements which include, but not limited to, the issue of additional shares or convertible notes and/or financial support from its related parties and on this basis, the Group will be able to continue as a going concern. The company has a solid track record in this regard.

The Company has retained its 50% interest in the Mother Lode 3 development and production asset on which there are proven, probable and possible reserves. In June 2009, the Company released an unrisked PV10 valuation of this asset, based upon an independent assessment of the reserves, which was in excess of the current carrying cost of US$732,154. Subsequent to this and during the current financial year the first well (Roman 27-1) was drilled and completed as a producer. The Company will consider participation in the further drilling programmes on this project in the current financial year.

The Company is also currently reviewing energy projects internationally and will make market announcements as and when appropriate. It envisages that any new project acquisition will also see a recapitalisation to raise the necessary funds both for future exploration and development of any acquisition, and possibly to participate in the Mother Lode 3 drilling programme.

However, the Directors recognise that the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on its ability to develop cash flow from its current assets, acquire new projects and to secure additional funding through the raising of further equity capital and/or support from its financiers.

Based on the above, the Group is confident that it will successfully meet its financial obligations into the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required

to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ADVANCE ENERGY LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Advance Energy Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the consolidated entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the halfyear financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the 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 30 June 2011 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 Advance Energy 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

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, which has been given to the directors of Advance Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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 Advance Energy Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2011 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 .

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 5 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $837,076 during the half-year ended 30 June 2011 and, as of that date the consolidated entity’s liabilities exceeded its total assets by $5,781,024. The consolidated entity will be required to seek additional funding through debt, equity or other means to continue its activities. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 5, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
