Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd Preliminary Final Report (Appendix 4E) for the year ended 31 December 2012

COMMENTARY ON RESULTS

This consolidated financial report of Incremental Oil and Gas Limited (“Incremental” or “the Company”) covers the twelve months of operations for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The results for the 2012 financial year are significantly improved from the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of the Florence Oilfield in May. The results include a full year of production from Incremental’s Californian oilfields, Sheep Springs and Round Mountain.

Change 2012 2011
Revenue from oil and gas sales (US$ million) +106% $15.835 $7.704
Interest expense (US$ million) ($0.235) ($0.325)
Interest income (US$ million) $0.015 $0.046
Depreciation/Amortisation (US$ million) ($2.104) ($1.062)
Tax (US$ million) ($1.770) ($0.639)
Net Tangible Assets (US$ million) +41% $24.856 $17.625

Revenue increased as a result of production from the Florence Oilfield (which was acquired in May 2012) accounted for 51% of sales income for 2012. The average price per barrel decreased because oil produced from Florence is sold at WTI prices which has traded at an average $17/barrel less than California realised prices during the period.

Field operating costs have decreased to $14/bbl (2011 - $20/bbl). Economies of scale at the Florence Oilfield along with savings made in the California operations have resulted in the lower costs. Further savings measures are being implemented in California.

The Company secured a loan of US$6M from RMB Australia and raised a further US$4.4M of equity to acquire the Florence Oilfield. The RMB facility is repayable in 2013 and is therefore classified as current debt. Interest on this loan has been charged at an average rate of 6.41%.

The Company’s cash position has improved with strong inflows during the year from oil sales. Positive operating cash flow of $4.841M resulted from investments made during the year in the Florence and Round Mountain Oilfields.

Expansion of oil production assets during 2012 has increased net tangible assets (NTA) to $0.16 per share (2011 - $0.13 per share).

Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd Preliminary Final Report (Appendix 4E) for the year ended 31 December 2012

OPERATING REVIEW

The acquisition of the Florence Oilfield in the southern part of the DJ Basin was the primary focus of the Company during 2012. The Florence property was acquired with 21 existing wells which produce from the Pierre Shale. The large lease position (21,000 net acres) offers the opportunity to exploit the deeper Niobrara zone which has been highly sought after in other parts of the DJ Basin.

Incremental continued to develop its California assets with two new successful wells drilled in the Round Mountain Oilfield in 2012. Production continued from the Sheep Springs Oilfield and drilling of the first well commenced at the West Mountain lease in Ventura.

Change 2012 2011
Production (barrels – excl equivalent gas) +138% 178,696 71,651
Average sale price per barrel (US$) -19% $88 $105
Average cost of production per barrel (US$) -30% $14 $20

Since acquisition of the Florence Oilfield, daily oil production rate peaked in excess of 700 barrels for 2012. The average production in 2012 from all of the Company’s oilfields since May when the Florence Oilfield was acquired, has been above 600 barrels of oil per day.

The expansion of operations in Colorado has resulted in a number of highly skilled executives joining the company and a new office was established in Denver to complement the existing California headquarters and service the Florence Oilfield. Planning for the development of the fornew Colorado leases was carried out in 2012 with multiple drilling campaigns targeted in 2013.

Incremental has strengthened its balance sheet during the year and will continue to develop its capabilities as it expands its business through organic growth and acquisition of new projects. Its focus will continue to be cash flow positive, profitable, producing oilfields in North America. The company has a good mix of assets that provide strong cash flow as well as offer significant development potential in the future.

Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd Preliminary Final Report (Appendix 4E) for the year ended 31 December 2012

Condensed notes to the financial statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

a. Basis of preparation

The report is based on accounts that are in the process of being audited.

The report does not include all of the notes normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly this report is to be read in conjunction with the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2011 and any public announcements made by Incremental during the reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report is presented in United States dollars (US$) unless otherwise stated .

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 and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) which are mandatory to apply to the current year.

c. Principals of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd as at 31 December 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Incremental and its subsidiaries together are referred to as the Group. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating policies, so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and potential effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

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

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. There are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions and balances, income and expenses and profit and losses between Group companies, are eliminated.
