REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Xstate Resources Limited is an oil and gas exploration company, headquartered in Perth, Western Australia and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
During the 6 months ended 30 June 2015 the Company continued with its objective to explore for hydrocarbons onshore California.
Dempsey Conventional Gas Prospect (XST 10% WI)
The Dempsey prospect remains the current focus of the Joint Venture’s plans – primarily because of the potential for near term production. This is because it is located beneath existing Xstate’s production facilities.
Activities during the last 6 months have involved firming up the prospect from both a geological and drilling planning perspective, for potential drilling in 2015. In addition, Xstate has given several presentations to interested prospective farm-out parties.
Dempsey’s proposed drilling depth is approximately 3,200m and is estimated to cost US$4.5 to US$5.5M to drill. (100% cost). The total (100%) unrisked recoverable prospective resource from 7 interpreted reservoir zones, on a best estimate deterministic basis, is approximately 1TCF.

XSTATE RESOURCES LIMITED | INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT | 30 JUNE 2015 | DIRECTOR’S REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Alvares Conventional Gas Prospect (XST 25% WI)
The Alvares gas appraisal prospect is located close to large natural gas pipelines and involves the appraisal drilling of a large anticline originally drilled in 1982 and which had extensive gas shows and flowed gas to surface. It contains a total (100%) unrisked recoverable prospective resource on a best estimate deterministic basis of 2.4TCF.
Activities during the last 6 months have been focussed on geological work on the Alvares -1 logs as wells as more detailed economic evaluation and farm-out activity.
SCU #1- 24 water disposal project (XST 13.25%)
Xstate continues to await Government approvals which have been slow in forthcoming because of the strict regulations regarding produced water injection in California. The Company and JV plan to continue working on evaluation of the well and to contract a local engineer to accelerate the licensing of the well for water disposal. The work for the next 12 months has been funded by a previously paid cash call. Once licensed the well will either be put into service, funded by available cash from shareholder funding or the asset may be sold to another local operator to raise fund for exploration projects.
Porter Ranch Project (XST 22.5% Working Interest )
The Porter Ranch oil exploration project in San Luis Obispo County consists of a gross 9,051 acres leased over a number of surface anticlines in the prospect area.
During the prior 6 months, the permitting process has continued with a view to the drilling of an exploration well to a planned total depth of 1,500 metres to test the Monterey oil reservoirs.
The County continues to assess our application to drill an exploration well on the Porter Ranch leases.
SACRAMENTO BASIN Rancho Capay Gas Field (XST 10% WI in 5 wells) & Los Medanos Gas Field (XST 10% WI in 2 wells)
Xstate acquired a working interest in minor gas production rights in the Sacramento Basin onshore California in 2013 primarily to use the leases for further exploration via access an extensive 3D seismic database from which to generate new exploration opportunities.
No significant operations were carried out during the 6 monthly period.
Competent Person Statement

XSTATE RESOURCES LIMITED | INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT | 30 JUNE 2015 | NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Xstate Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The condensed consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2015 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group Entities”). The Group is primarily involved in oil and gas exploration in California, USA.
The consolidated financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 2, 55 Carrington Street, Nedlands, Western Australia, 6009 and is available for review on the Company’s website.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The condensed 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 . It does not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015 and any public announcements made by Xstate Resources Limited during the interim reporting period.
Xstate Resources Limited is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The condensed consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 11 September 2015.
(b) Judgements and estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports 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 expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014.
(c) Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurable date. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurable date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
13
XSTATE RESOURCES LIMITED | INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT | 30 JUNE 2015 | NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(d) Going concern
The directors have prepared the condensed consolidated interim financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realisation of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group has no debt obligation at 30 June 2015 and a working capital surplus of $149,763 including $48,281 of cash and cash equivalents. The Group incurred a loss for the period of $286,992.
The Group is focused on securing further land leases in California and pursuing and assessing new venture opportunities which are complementary with its existing asset position. The directors are aware that additional funds will need to be sourced for the Group to continue its business as budgeted, including meeting its exploration and development activities. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, and thereby be able to pays its debts as and when they fall due, is dependent on the Group successfully securing further working capital through additional equity funding, financing facilities or entering into farm-out or joint venture arrangement’s in relation to its assets.
Given the financial position of the Group and its demonstrated ability to raise funding through the satisfactory raising of $150,000 through a Share Purchase Plan which closes on 11 September 2015 (refer note 10), the Directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and forecast cash flows and reasonably expect that the Group will be able to raise additional funds to meet future costs to support business plans for at least the next 12 months. If necessary, the Group has the capacity to delay or cancel a number of expenses that are discretionary in nature, including administrative costs, exploration programs and development expenditure that are not contractually committed. The timing of raising additional capital will depend on the investment markets, current and future planned exploration and development activities. The directors are therefore of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate in the circumstances. Notwithstanding this assessment there is significant uncertainty regarding the outcomes of the future funding alternatives.
The financial report does not contain any adjustments to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities which might be necessary if the Group was not to continue as a going concern.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Group in the consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014. The following changes in accounting policy are also expected to be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending 31 December 2014.
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards. The change amends a number of pronouncements as a result of the 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 annual improvements cycle. These changes do not impact the financial statements.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Xstate Resources Limited
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying interim financial report of Xstate Resources Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the halfyear ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 interim 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 interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Xstate Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of an interim 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 .
KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
==> picture [41 x 17] 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 interim financial report of Xstate Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
Without modifying our opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to note 2(d) in the financial report. The matters set forth in note 2(d) indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
