Chairman’s letter

Dear Shareholder,

Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (“IOG”) is a producing oil and gas company with a primary focus on production and cash flow rather than high risk exploration.

IOG has been profitable over its first year of operations.

The four IOG projects in California are shown on Figure 1.

The Sheep Springs Oilfield has performed well over the year, with an average production of 230 boepd and revenues exceeding A$6 million. 2010 has been a year of building the company. From a single project in January 2010, IOG has built a portfolio of four projects. These projects range from the cash generative Sheep Springs Oilfield to the Round Mountain and Guijarral Hills Development projects. The Raven Pass exploration project adds exploration upside and excitement to the portfolio.

==> picture [104 x 124] intentionally omitted <==

On behalf of the Board I express our gratitude to the management, staff and contractors and consultants who, together, have worked tirelessly to achieve this excellent outcome.

Your Board plans to diligently develop these existing projects to significantly enhance production and cash flow over the coming year.

In addition to ensuring a strong focus on developing our existing projects, the Board will continue to identify and evaluate for possible acquisition, additional projects which provide a strategic fit with our existing portfolio and meet the Company’s financial criteria.

I would like to thank shareholders for their support over the year and especially during the successful IPO in January.

Yours sincerely Chris Cronin Chairman 18 April 2011

Operational review

IOG has four projects in California:

  • Sheep Springs Producing Oilfield

  • Round Mountain Development Project

  • Guijarral Hills Development Project

  • Raven Pass Exploration project

The Board believes these four projects in combination provide a balanced portfolio with underpinning positive cash flow, low risk development with substantial near term production expansion capability and exploration upside. The location of the four projects is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Locations, IOG projects in California

1.1 ShEEP SPRINgS PRODuCINg OIlfIElD (100% wORkINg INTEREST)

IOG acquired 200 acres within the Sheep Springs operating oilfield in January 2010. Production has increased from an average of 169 boepd at acquisition to an average rate of 230 boepd for the year as a whole. This increase in production was due to operational improvements and the drilling of two wells in mid 2010.

IOG drilled wells C-7 and C-6ST (Figure 2) in Sheep Springs in mid-2010. The total cost of the two wells was US$958,000, illustrating the low cost nature of operating in California. Each well intersected over 70 feet of hydrocarbon pay.

Figure 2 Sheep Springs surface facility map highlighting the C6ST and C7 wells

Figure 3 Sheep Springs quarterly production since January 2010

IOG’s Sheep Springs leases have significant development potential in the shallow heavy oil reservoirs and it will be these reservoirs that are the next main phase of development. Near term projects include a water injection pilot project and a pilot steam injection project. The use of steam can greatly increase production rates and recovery factors of the shallower, heavier oils.

1.2 ROuND MOuNTAIN DEVElOPMENT PROjECT

(100% wORkINg INTEREST) Round Mountain is a development project. Substantial oil production has been demonstrated within the oilfield by adjacent producers.

The Round Mountain field has produced over 100 million barrels of oil. Most of this production was in the early part of the 20th century. The main reservoir section is at a depth between 1200 ft and 1600 ft and has excellent permeability and porosity.

IOG’s excellent lease location within the oilfield suggests that production could be substantially increased by drilling a number of new wells. Initial wells will probably be vertical, with an option to drill horizontal wells at a later date.

Near term projects in Round Mountain include the drilling of a well with cores and a number of modern wireline logs. Existing wells were drilled at least 30 years ago and have only limited data available. A successful modern well will form the basis of a field development project at Round Mountain later in 2011.

1.3 guIjARRAl hIllS DEVElOPMENT PROjECT (80-100% wORkINg INTEREST)

The Guijarral Hills project is situated approximately 90 km north of the Sheep Springs oilfield. IOG’s leases are located within a prolific oilfield that has produced over 50 million barrels of light oil, mainly in the 1950’s.

With the deepest reservoir being the focus of early production, some of the shallower reservoirs have remained undeveloped or partially developed. These shallower reservoirs between 8,000 ft and 9,500 ft have excellent reservoir properties and appear to contain light hydrocarbons. IOG has between 80% and 100% working interest in various leases to investigate and exploit these remaining reserves.

==> picture [318 x 299] intentionally omitted <==

1.4 RAVEN PASS ExPlORATION PROSPECT (100% wORkINg INTEREST)

The Raven Pass prospect is a surface anticline with a strike length of over 10 kilometres. It is well defined by surface mapping, with 1500 ft of structural relief. It is located in the west of San Joaquin Basin, neighbouring giant oilfields such as Belridge. A shallow well drilled in the middle of the anticline flowed 52º API gravity oil, but the deeper reservoir section has not been tested, although it is productive in some nearby oilfields. IOG plan to continue surface mapping, purchasing of existing seismic and possibly acquiring additional seismic in the coming year.

1.5 IOg DEVElOPMENT STRATEgY

The IOG development strategy is initially focused on four projects:

  • the development of the Round Mountain oilfield. Up to five wells are planned in 2011.

  • the Guijarral Hills oilfield reservoirs will first be tested with a re-entry into an old well or the drilling of a new well to test the shallower horizons. These operations are anticipated to take place early in the second half of 2011.

  • the continued development of the Sheep Springs oilfield. There are four undeveloped productive reservoirs in the lease area and these reserves will be developed in a conscientious and conservative fashion.

  • Continue progressing Raven Pass to a drill ready stage.

  • Concurrent with the development of the above projects, IOG will continue to evaluate new projects for acquisition, consistent with available cash flow.

fOR ThE PERIOD fROM INCORPORATION TO 31 DECEMbER 2010

1. CORPORATE INfORMATION

The financial report of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (the Company) for the financial period ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 21 March 2011. The consolidated financial statements of the company as at and for the period ended 31 December 2010 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (“Group”).

2. SuMMARY Of SIgNIfICANT

ACCOuNTINg POlICIES

The significant policies that have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are:

(a) basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Interpretations. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis and accrual accounting, modified where applicable by the measurement of selected financial assets and financial liabilities 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 that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Company has adopted all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB which are mandatory to apply to the current period. Disclosures required by the Standards that are deemed material have been included in this Financial Statement and are detailed below:

Presentation of Financial Statements

AASB 101 prescribes the contents and structure of financial statements. Changes reflected in this financial report include:

  • the replacement of the Income Statement which the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Items of income and expense not recognised in profit or loss are now disclosed as components of other comprehensive income. In this regard, such items are no longer reflected as equity movements in the Statement of Changes in Equity;

  • the adoption of the single statement approach to the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income; and

  • other financial statements are renamed in accordance with the Standard.

Other accounting standards which are effective for this accounting period include AASB 3 – Business Combinations and AASB 8.

Segment Reporting

The entity has applied AASB 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 requires the entity to identify operating segments and disclose segment information on the basis of internal reports that are provided to, and reviewed by, the chief operating decision maker of the Company to allocate resources and assess performance. In the case of the Company, the chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors. Operating segments now represent the basis on which the Company reports its segment information to the Board on a monthly basis.

Business combinations

Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations and AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements apply prospectively from 1 July 2009. Changes introduced by these standards which have affected the Company include the following:

  • Costs incurred that relate to the business combination are expensed instead of comprising part of the goodwill acquired on consolidation;

  • Any non-controlling interest (previously known as minority interest) in an acquiree is measured at either fair value or as the non-

controlling interests proportionate share of net identifiable assets of the acquiree;

  • The acquirer is prohibited from recognising contingent liabilities of the acquiree at acquisition date that do not meet the definition of a liability;

  • Consideration for the acquisition, including contingent consideration, must be measured at fair value at acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration payable are not regarded as measurement period adjustments but are rather recognised in accordance with other Australian Accounting Standards as appropriate;

  • The proportionate interest in losses attributable to non-controlling interests is assigned to non-controlling interests irrespective of whether this results in a deficit balance. Previously, losses causing a deficit to noncontrolling interests were allocated to the parent entity; and

  • Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the balance of the remaining investment account shall be remeasured to fair value at the date that control is lost.

New Accounting Standards for application in future periods

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The company has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the company follows;

  • AASB 9: Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11; Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 10 & 121 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or alter 1 January 2013).

These standards are applicable retrospectively and amend the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact on the financial statements.

This standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the IASB. The standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures.

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

liability, and the equity instruments issued should be recognised at their fair value unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case they shall be measured at the fair value of the liability extinguished. The Interpretation deals with situations where either partial or full settlement of the liability has occurred. This Interpretation is not expected to impact the Group.

The Company does not anticipate the early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards.

(c) basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (“Incremental Oil and Gas”) and its subsidiaries (as outlined in note 24) as at and for the period ended 31 December. Interests in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the Group.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which Incremental Oil and Gas has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Incremental Oil and Gas controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from infra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which Incremental Oil and Gas obtains control until such time as Incremental Oil and Gas ceases to control such entities.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration and the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill or a discount on acquisition.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented with equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Losses are attributed to the noncontrolling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

If Incremental Oil and Gas loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • Derecognises the carrying value of any non-controlling interest;

  • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

  • Recognises and surplus or deficit in the statement of comprehensive income;

  • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

(d) business combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer fie parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill (refer to Note 2 k) or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquires.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements, Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer. Liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

Fair value uplifts in the value of preexisting equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability off equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement comprehensive income.

(e) Taxation

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Page 24. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences:

  • except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised:

  • except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

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

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement.

(f) Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, or availablefor-sale assets. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and when allowed and appropriate re-evaluates this designation at each financial period-end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the Market place.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Held- to- maturity investments Non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as heldto maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially

recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through amortisation process.

(iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including loan notes and loans to key management personnel are non-derivative financial assets with fixed determinable payments that are not quoted in an active Market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iv) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-forsale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The fair values of the investments that are actively traded in the organised financial Markets are determined by reference to quoted Market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active Market fair values are determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include: using recent arm’s length Market transactions; reference to the current Market value of another instrument that is substantially the same discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models making as much use of available and supportable Market data as possible and keeping judgemental inputs to a minimum.

(g) Interest in a jointly controlled operation

A joint venture is a contractual agreement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the

Page 25. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

venturers rather than the establishment of a separate entity. The Group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operation by recognising the assets that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs. The Group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operation.

(h) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Plant and equipment over 5 to 10 years.

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current Market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Expenditure incurred during exploration and the early stages of evaluation of new areas of interest is written off as incurred. Exploration expenses incurred after the early stages where the areas of interest are prospective is capitalised.

Costs of acquisition of exploration areas of interest are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage

that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also

reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

(j) Oil and gas Assets

Assets in development

The costs of oil and gas assets in development are separately accounted for and include past exploration and evaluation costs, development drilling and other subsurface expenditure, surface plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings. When the committed development expenditure programs are completed and production commences, these costs are subject to amortisation. Once the required statutory documentation for a production licence is lodged the accumulated costs are transferred to oil and gas assets – producing assets.

Producing assets

The costs of oil and gas assets in production are separately accounted for and include past exploration and evaluation costs, past development costs and ongoing costs of continuing to develop reserves for production and to expand or replace plant and equipment and any associated land and buildings. These costs are subject to amortisation. Where asset costs incurred in relation to a producing field are under evaluation and appraisal, those costs will be continually reviewed for recoupment of those costs by future exploration. When a determination has been made that those expenditures will not be recouped and/or further appraisal will be undertaken, they will be written off.

Amortisation of oil and gas assets

Costs in relation to producing assets are amortised on a production output basis. Producing assets under evaluation and appraisal are not subject to amortisation until such time as the evaluation and appraisal stage is complete.

Restoration costs

Site restoration costs are capitalised within costs of the associated assets and the provision is included in the statement of financial position at total

estimated present value. These costs are estimated and based on judgements and assumptions regarding removal dates, environmental legislation and technologies. Over time, the liability is increased for the change in the present value based on a risk adjusted pre-tax discount rate appropriate to the risks inherent in the liability. The costs of restoration are brought to account in the profit and loss through depreciation of the associated assets over the economic life of the projects with which these costs are associated. The unwinding of the discount is recorded as an accretion charge within finance costs.

(k) goodwill

Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill is not amortised.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cashgenerating units expected to benefit from the combination’s synergies.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the goodwill relates.

Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation.

Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of

Page 26. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

three months or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(m) Share-based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equitysettled transactions’).

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (`Market conditions’).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (`vesting date’).

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 number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. 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.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where 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 increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Where 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.

(n) Recoverable amount of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current Market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(o) foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd is Australian 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. The functional currency for the US subsidiary is the US Dollar (USD).

(ii) Transactions & balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying 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 balance sheet date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign operation.

These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity.

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

(iii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognized directly in equity. Such differences have been recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR). When the foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit and loss.

(p) Impairment of assets

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 assets 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 cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Page 27. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 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 unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is carried as a revaluation decrease).

(q) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for 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 those goods and services.

(r) Share capital

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 of the share proceeds received.

(s) Trade and other receivables

Debtors are carried at amounts due. The recoverability of debts is assessed at balance date and specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts.

(t) Employee leave benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employee’s services up to the reporting date. They 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 are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(u) goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expenses.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(v) Inventories

Oil and gas amounts are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs of selling final product.

(w) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the 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, excluding discounts, rebates, and sales taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, which is considered to occur when title passes to the customer. This generally occurs when product is physically transferred onto a vessel, train, conveyor or other delivery mechanisms. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

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

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 amount of the financial asset.

Dividends

Revenue is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to include any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends divided by the average weighted number of ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent adjusted for:

  • Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses and;

  • Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and

  • dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(y) Comparatives

No comparatives have been disclosed as the Company was incorporated on 7 July 2009 and this is the first reporting period.

3. SIgNIfICANT ACCOuNTINg juDgEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSuMPTIONS

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) Significant accounting judgements

Classification of valuation of investments

The Group has decided to classify investments in listed and unlisted securities as ‘available-for-sale’ investments and movements in fair value are recognised directly in equity. The fair value of listed shares has been determined by reference to published price quotations in an active Market.

Page 28. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

The fair values of unlisted securities not traded in an active Market are determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer by projecting future cash flows from expected future dividends and subsequent disposal of the securities.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment, including economic and political environments. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves value in use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equitysettled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equitysettled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

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

Allowance for impairment loss on trade receivables

Where receivables are outstanding beyond the normal trading terms, the likelihood of the recovery of these receivables is assessed by management.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable,

profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which determination is made.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The estimation of useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment), lease terms (for leased equipment) and turnover policies (for motor vehicles). In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once per year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful life are made when considered necessary. Depreciation charges are included in note 15.

Contingencies

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognised on the statement of financial position, deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-utilised tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Group will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted.

Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates could limit the ability of the Group to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

Oil and Gas reserve and resource estimates

Oil and Gas reserves are estimates of the amount of Oil and Gas that can be economically and legally extracted from the Group’s mining properties. The Group estimates its Oil and Gas reserves based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the reserve, and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation

of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact upon the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, mine properties, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, provision for rehabilitation, recognition of deferred tax assets, and depreciation and amortisation charges.

Units-of-production amortisation

Estimated recoverable reserves are used in determining the amortisation of oilfield assets. This results in an amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of field production. Each item’s life, which is assessed annually, has regard to both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the property at which the asset is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves and estimates of future capital expenditure. Numerous units-of-production (UOP) depreciation methodologies are available to choose from. Changes are accounted for prospectively.

7. EquITY-bASED PAYMENTS TO DIRECTORS EMPlOYEES AND CONSulTANTS

During the current period the Company granted the following shares and options to key management personnel, consultants and staff:

(i) 1,000,000 unlisted options to an employee, at an exercise price of $0.20 cents each and expiring on 1 November 2014. The fair value of the options at the grant date was 3.5123 cents per option. The fair value of the options has been calculated using the BlackScholes option pricing model as follows:

Weighted average exercise price: $0.20 cents Weighted average life of options: 4.9 years Underlying share price: $0.10 Expected volatility: 70% Risk free interest rate: 5.5%

A discount of 30% in recognition of the illiquid nature of the options and the underlying shares was applied.

(ii) 1,000,000 ordinary shares for an employee at a deemed 10 cents per share. The shares vested immediately.

(iii) 68,000 ordinary shares to various employees at a deemed price of 30 cents each. 48,000 shares were also issued to consultants at a deemed price of 30 cents each.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: Market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial Markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. The Board provides policies for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.

Page 36. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

NOTES TO ThE fINANCIAl STATEMENTS

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group operates internationally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations.

The material foreign exchange exposure on the net monetary position of key group entities against its respective functional currency, expressed in the group’s presentation currency is an amount of cash of $3,099,488 held in $US by the parent entity. A 10% movement in shift in would have a profit and loss effect of $309,948 before taxation. As the Company is in a tax loss position the effect on equity would be $309,948.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests funds at floating interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis has not been performed against movement in interest rates as the exposure is not considered material.

(iii) Commodity price risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk as its income is determined by reference to international prices of oil and gas. A 10% change in the oil and gas prices during the period of ownership of the Sheep Springs oilfield would have had a profit and loss effect of $605,779 before taxation.

(b) Credit Risk

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure relating to outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted.

The Group does not have any exposure to any derivative financial instruments.

Credit risk further arises in relation to financial guarantees given to certain parties. Such guarantees are only provided in exceptional circumstances and are subject to specific board approval.

(c) fair Values

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-forsale 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 fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example investments in unlisted subsidiaries) 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. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. 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.

Corporate Governance Statement

Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd (“IOG” or “the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “the Group”) are committed to implementing a high standard of corporate governance. The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for its corporate governance and the Board has adopted a manual of corporate governance policies and procedures based on control systems and accountability. The Board of the Company adopted the Corporate Governance Manual on 9 November 2010 which is available in the corporate governance information section of the Company’s website at www.incrementaloilandgas.com. A summary of the Group’s corporate governance policies and procedures is included in this Statement.

The Group’s corporate governance policies and procedures are in line with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“the Principles & Recommendations”). The Group has followed the Principles & Recommendations where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where, after due consideration by the Board, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from the Principles & Recommendations, the Board has fully disclosed the departure and the reason for the adoption of its own practice, in compliance with the “if not, why not” exception reporting regime.

bOARD Of DIRECTORS - ROlE Of ThE bOARD AND MANAgEMENT

The Board’s role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.

In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to drive the performance of the Company. The Board must also ensure that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal obligations, including the requirements of any regulatory body. The Board has the final responsibility for the successful operations of the Company.

To assist the Board carry out its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, the Chief Financial Officer and other key executives in the performance of their roles.

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company.

Without intending to limit this general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following.

  • Leadership of the Organisation: overseeing the Company and establishing codes that reflect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board.

  • Strategy Formulation: to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensuring that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company.

  • Overseeing Planning Activities: the development of the Company’s strategic plan.

  • Shareholder Liaison: ensuring effective communications with shareholders through an appropriate communications policy and promoting participation at general meetings of the Company.

  • Monitoring, Compliance and Risk Management: the development of the Company’s risk management, compliance, control and accountability systems and monitoring and directing the financial and operational performance of the Company.

  • Company Finances: approving expenses and approving and monitoring acquisitions, divestitures and financial and other reporting.

  • Human Resources: appointing, and, where appropriate, removing the Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director (CEO / MD), and key executives as well as reviewing their performance in the implementation of the Company’s strategy.

  • Ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of employees: in conjunction with the senior management team, developing, overseeing and reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s occupational health and safety

systems to ensure the well-being of all employees.

  • Delegation of Authority: delegating appropriate powers to the CEO / MD to ensure the effective day-today management of the Company and establishing and determining the powers and functions of the Committees of the Board.

The Board’s role and the Company’s corporate governance practices are periodically reviewed and improved as required.

The Company will undertake annual performance reviews of senior executives, committees of the Board and the Board. The Board evaluates the performance of individual directors and of committees. The Company has not adopted formal processes for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors on the basis that such formal processes are not appropriate at this stage of the Company’s development.

The Board under the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter will oversee the performance evaluation of the senior executive team. This evaluation will be based on specific criteria, including the performance of the Company, whether strategic objectives are being achieved and the development of management and personnel. At this stage of the development of the Company, IOG has only informal procedures in place for performance evaluation of the senior executives but will consider formal processes in future.

The Board Charter including matters reserved for the Board and senior management and the performance evaluation policies are available on the Company’s website at www. incrementaloilandgas.com.

COMPOSITION Of ThE bOARD

To add value to the Company, the Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties given its current size and scale of operations. Directors are appointed based on the specific skills required by the Company and on their decisionmaking and judgment skills.

The Company has adopted a policy on assessing the independence of Directors which is consistent with the guidelines detailed in the ASX Principles & Recommendations and detailed in

Page 43. Incremental Oil And Gas Ltd Annual Report | 31 December 2010

CORPORATE gOVERNANCE STATEMENT

the Board Charter. The materiality thresholds in this policy are assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the relevant Director’s specific circumstances, rather than referring to a general materiality threshold.

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors can offer. The current Board includes a non-executive Chairman, Mr. Cronin, two non-executive Directors, Mr. Stowell and Mr. Macdonald and Managing Director, Mr. McGann. The role of the Chairman, Mr. Cronin, and Managing Director, Mr. McGann, are exercised by different people. Mr. Cronin (Chairman and Non-Executive Director), Mr. Stowell (Non Executive Director), Mr. Macdonald (Non-Executive Director) and Mr. McGann (Managing Director) do not meet the Company’s criteria for Independence. However, their experience and knowledge of the Company makes their contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for them to remain on the Board.

A minimum of three (3) Directors and a maximum of nine (9) Directors is stipulated under the Company’s Constitution. Any changes to the composition of the Board will be determined by the Board, subject to any applicable laws and the resolutions of Shareholders. The Board will seek to nominate persons for appointment to the Board with the appropriate mix of skills and experience to ensure an effective decision-making body and to ensure that the Board is comprised of Directors who contribute to the successful management of the Company and discharge their duties having regard to the law and the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board should comprise Directors with a mix of qualifications, experience and expertise which will assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities, as well as assisting the Company in achieving growth and delivering value to shareholders. The Company aims at all times to have at least two Directors with experience appropriate to the Company’s target market.

Pursuant to the Constitution of the Company, at every Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, one-third of the Directors, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the whole number nearest one-third, shall retire from office. Prior to the Board proposing re-election of non-executive Directors, their performance will be evaluated to ensure that they continue to contribute effectively to the Board.
