Item - 3 : Key Information

A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

The financial data for Fiscal Years ended 6/30/16, 6/30/17, and 6/30/18 as shown in the following table is derived from our audited financial statements as indicated in the independent auditor’s report included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The data for the Fiscal Years ended 6/30/14 and 6/30/15 are derived from the Company's audited financial statements, not included herein, but filed with previous Form-20FAnnual Reports and incorporated herein by this reference.

Commencing from 7/01/11 and for the Fiscal Years ended 6/30/12 and later, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards {" IFRS ") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (" IASB ") instead of GAAP. The Company's first annual IFRS consolidated financial statements were prepared for the Fiscal Year ended 6/30/12 with restated comparatives for the previous Fiscal Year ended 6/30/11.

The Company has not calculated and is not reporting any ratio of earning to fixed charges, to combined fixed charges or to any dividends and has not calculated and reported any other ratios, other than earnings per share, in this Annual Report; and hence no basis for such calculation is included.





The selected financial data set forth in the following table, stated in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

D. RISK FACTORS.

Much of the information contained in this Annual Report includes or is based on estimates, projections or other “forward looking” statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by our Company and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements. Our business prospects, our ongoing operations at a particular project, or our overall financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks:





a) Emerging Economy Operational Risk - A substantial component of the Company's business activities are conducted in the Republic of Indonesia and the Company considers itself to be an "Emerging Market Issuer" as defined in the Issuer Guide for Companies Operating in Emerging Markets (the "EMI Guide") published by the Ontario Securities Commission as Staff Notice 51-720. The EMI Guide identifies eight matters as worthy of additional disclosure that Emerging Market Issuer's consider. These are: 1) the local business and operating environment, 2) language and cultural differences, 3) corporate structure, 4) related parties, 5) risk management and disclosure, 6) internal controls, 7) use of and reliance on experts, and 8) oversight of the external auditor and how the effect on the Company's operations of these eight matters may differ in the emerging market from what may be expected if the Company's same business activities were conducted in Canada. Most of these risks are described in the following paragraphs.
 
b) Corporate Structure, Indonesia Corporation Law, and the Two Tier Board - The Company operates its Indonesian business activities through two special purpose, limited liability, corporate subsidiaries, each incorporated in Indonesia. Indonesian law requires a new company to have at least two shareholders and a two board governance structure consisting of a managing board of directors having at least one director and a supervisory board of commissioners having at least one commissioner. Both boards are shareholder elected. The board of commissioners advise and supervise the board of directors who manage the company's operations. The Company exerts absolute control over its Indonesian subsidiaries due to its shareholder voting control and control of the composition of both board its Indonesian subsidiaries.
 
c) Political Risk - The Company's business activities and investments are all located out of its home jurisdiction of Canada and are subject to the political risks of foreign investment. These include potential changes in laws affecting foreign ownership, contract and area tenure, government participation, taxation, royalties, duties, rates of exchange and exchange controls. Any new government policies that are adverse to the Company's interests could include a change in crude oil or refined petroleum products pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls. Direct and indirect effects of the decline in value of the local currency have included high levels of domestic inflation, reductions in employment, high interest rates, unavailability of traditional sources of financing, and an overall contraction in commercial business activity. The normal economic conditions in any country may sustain shocks that exacerbate adverse economic conditions and such shocks could originate from various sources, including social unrest, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, secessionist provinces, lack of government effectiveness due to political uncertainty, or policy initiatives that are adverse to foreign investment.
 
d) Taxation Risks on International Operations - The governments and other regulatory agencies in Indonesia may make changes in laws or regulations relating to taxation or impose higher tax rates which may affect the Company's operations in a significant manner. These governments and agencies may not allow certain deductions in calculating tax payable that the Company believes should be deductible under applicable laws or may have differing views as to values of transferred properties.
 
e) Jurisdiction Conflict Risk on International Operations - The Company's international operations may also be adversely affected by laws and policies of Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. The Company may be at a disadvantage in that it may be required to compete against corporations or other entities from countries that are not subject to Canadian laws and regulations, including the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act or similar legislation of other jurisdictions, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Residents or nationals of countries not subject to such legal regimes may offer inducements to foreign governments and foreign public officials to entice such governments and officials to deal with them to the disadvantage of the Company. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute arising from international operations, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada.
 
f) Legal Risks in International Operations - Some of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates may have less developed legal systems than jurisdictions with more established economies which may result in risks such as (a) difficulty in obtaining effective legal redress in the courts of such jurisdictions, whether in respect of breaches of law or regulation or in an ownership dispute, being more difficult to obtain; (b) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities; (c) the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations; (d) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or (e) relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters. There can be no assurance that joint operations, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities or other third parties and the effectiveness of and enforcement of such arrangements in these jurisdictions cannot be assured. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permit requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in oil and gas operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of such activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed.
 
g) Legal System Differences in Indonesia - Indonesia uses a Civil Law legal system based on the Roman-Dutch Model influenced by Customary Law which differs to a modest extent from the Common Law legal system used in Canada and the USA. Civil Law is the most widespread type of legal system in the world, applied in various forms in approximately 150 countries. The Civil Law system is derived mainly from the Roman Corpus Juris Civilus, a collection of laws and legal interpretations compiled under the East Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Justinian I between A.D. 528 and 565. Roman-Dutch Model refers to a variant type of Civil Law originally based on Roman Law as applied in the Netherlands. Roman-Dutch Model Civil Law serves as the basis for legal systems in several modern day countries, including Indonesia, all of whom were formerly Dutch colonies. The Dutch historian/lawyer Simon van Leeuwen coined the term "Roman-Dutch law" in 1652.

 





  Customary Law is a type of legal system that serves as the basis of, or in Indonesia's case has influenced, the present-day laws in approximately 40 countries. There is no single history of Customary Law such as that found in Civil Law or Common Law. As the term implies, Customary Law is based upon the customs of a community. Common attributes of customary legal systems are that they are seldom written down, they embody an organized set of rules regulating social relations, and they are agreed upon by members of the community. Although such law systems include sanctions for law infractions, resolution tends to be reconciliatory rather than punitive. The peoples of what is now Indonesia practiced customary law many centuries prior to Dutch colonial influence. Following colonization, many Customary Laws were written down and incorporated to varying extents into the Roman-Dutch Model of Civil Law that exists today. Common Law aka "English Common Law" is a type of legal system used in the United Kingdom and approximately 80 countries formerly part of or influenced by the former British Empire including Canada and the USA. Formed by King Henry II in 1189 who established the king's court and designated that laws were "common" to the entire English realm. The major feature of Common Law legal systems is "legal precedent" - referred to as stare decisis, meaning "to stand by things decided." In the Common Law system, court judges are bound in their decisions in large part by the rules, cases, and other doctrines developed - and supplemented over time - by the judges of earlier courts. The major feature of Civil Law systems is that the laws are organized into systematic written codes. In Civil Law legal systems the sources recognized as authoritative are principally legislation - especially codifications in constitutions or statutes enacted by governments - and secondarily, custom.
 
h) Anti-Corruption Violations - The Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Given the nature of the Company's business and international operations, the Company has extensive regulatory and business interaction with governments and government-owned entities and frequent contact with persons who may be considered foreign officials in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree, and in which strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs or practice. While the Company has an anti-corruption compliance policy, the Company cannot guarantee that its employees, officers, directors, agents, contractors, counterparties, or business partners have not in the past or will not in the future engage in conduct undetected by the Company's processes and procedures and for which the Company might be held liable under applicable anti-corruption laws. Violations of these laws, or allegations or investigations of allegations of such violations, could harm the Company's reputation, disrupt its business and result in a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, and financial condition of the Company.
 
i) Government Approvals - The Company is dependent on receipt and maintenance of Indonesian government approvals, licenses, and permits to develop and operate its business. Any change in government or legislation or delays in receiving government approvals or permits may delay the realization of the Company's projects. The Company's contractors and other counterparties who are subject to similar regulatory requirements may also face similar delays or fail to obtain or maintain the necessary approvals, licenses, registration or permits. If any of these occur, the Company or the sub-contractors or other counterparties that perform obligations for it could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
j) Licensing and Regulatory Requirements - The Company's current operations are, and future operations will be, dependent upon the maintenance of appropriate licenses, leases, regulations and approvals of governmental authorities for construction, operation, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum fuels and products, taxation and environmental and health and safety matters. The Company cannot guarantee that authorizations will be granted, renewed, renewable, extended, or may be withdrawn, or made subject to limitations or onerous conditions. The Company is subject to extensive government laws and regulations governing many aspects of its business. Although the Company believes it has good relations with the governments of the countries in which it operates, there can be no assurance that the actions of present or future governments in these countries, or of governments of other countries in which the Company may operate in the future, will not materially adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.
 
k) Marketability Risks - The marketability of refined petroleum products, fuels, crude oil, and natural gas utilized or produced by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include physical and chemical characteristics and quality, market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of petroleum transport and processing infrastructure. All of these factors could result in a material decrease in the Company's net revenue or a material increase in operating costs, causing a material adverse effect on the Company's business operations.
 
l) Fluctuating Commodity and Refined Product Prices - The prices of the Company’s commodity feedstocks and refined petroleum fuels and products can be influenced by global and regional supply and demand factors, which are factors that are beyond our control and can result in a degree of price volatility.
 
m) Competitive Risk - The upstream and downstream petroleum industry in Indonesia is competitive in all its phases. The Company actively competes for capital, skilled personnel, undeveloped land, acquisitions, access to equipment, access to processing facilities, pipelines, and marine tankers, and in all other aspects of its operations. The Company's competitors include oil and gas companies which many have greater technical and financial resources, staff and facilities than those of the Company. Some of those competitors not only explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a world-wide basis and as such have greater and more diverse resources on which to draw. The Company's ability to effectively compete in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present projects, but also on its ability to capitalize on new opportunities. Competitive factors in the distribution and marketing of refined petroleum products, crude oil and natural gas include price and methods and reliability of delivery.

 





n) Minority Shareholding Risks - The Company from time to time holds only a minority or similar non-controlling shareholding interest in a partially owned subsidiary company which in turn owns and operates a particular project, property, business, and/or investment. In such cases the Company may exert no direct management control and have only very limited influence on decisions which may impact the performance of such partially owned subsidiary. This lack of direct management control could have a detrimental effect upon the value of the Company’s interests.
 
o) Joint Arrangements and Non-Operatorship - The Company may carry out a portion of its business through joint operations and similar arrangements with third parties. These arrangements involve a number of risks, including: disputes with partners in connection with the performance of their obligations under the relevant joint operating agreements, disputes as to the scope of each party's responsibilities under such arrangements, financial difficulties encountered by partners affecting their ability to perform their obligations under the relevant joint operating agreement, and conflicts between the policies or objectives adopted by partners and those adopted by the Company. In joint operating agreements where the Company is a non-operator, there are risks of limited ability to influence or control operations or future development, safety and environmental standards, and timing and amount of capital expenditure spending. The Company's partners that operate these properties may not necessarily share the Company's health, safety and environmental standards or strategic or operational goals, which may result in accidents, regulatory misalignments, project delays or unexpected future costs, all of which may affect the viability of these projects. In the event that the Company encounters any of the foregoing issues with respect to its joint operating partners, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the Company's ability to execute its business plan may be constrained by partner involvement and the action of its joint operating partners particularly where the joint operating partner is the operator and/or holds a significantly larger interest in the property than the Company.
 
p) JV Partner Risk - Any number of risks beyond the control of the Company could have a detrimental effect on the Company's JV partners, including the JV Operator and cause them to be unable to fund their own share of JV costs or meet their share of JV commitments. In such case there is a high degree of risk that the Company would not be able to take up and pay a failed partner's share of JV costs and the Company's own JV interest may thereby be detrimentally affected.
 
q) Counterparty Credit Risk - In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual sales and purchase relationships with counterparties including suppliers of crude oil feedstock and other commodities and offtake of refined fuels and products. If such counterparties do not fulfil their contractual obligations or settle their liabilities to the Company, the Company may suffer losses. Fluctuations in prevailing prices of could have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of such counterparties. The Company also has credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents held with banks and financial institutions. Losses due to the failure by counterparties to fulfil their contractual obligations may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
 
r) Transport Risk - The marketability of any oil, gas, or refined petroleum products which the Company may produce may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors may determine whether a new project is commercially viable at all, and include the proximity and capacity of existing pipelines, storage capacity, power transmission lines, and the locations of principal off-takers or markets.
 
s) Operating Risks - Oil, gas, and electricity production operations involve risks normally incident to such heavy industrial activities, including fires, spills, equipment failure, accidents, and well blowouts. Any of these hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of, our facilities or properties. Such hazards could also injure persons or adversely affect the environment. Dealing with such damage could greatly increase the cost of operations and detrimentally affect our financial condition.
 
t) Infrastructure Risk - Petroleum transport, storage, and delivery infrastructure development in areas of Indonesia in which the Company operates are often limited. This may affect the Company's ability to receive crude oil feedstock and deliver refined fuels and petroleum products to available markets. There can be no assurance that lack of infrastructure in areas in which the Company operates, actions by companies doing business there, or actions taken by the international community will not have a material adverse effect on the available infrastructure and in turn on the Company's ability to operate and on its financial conditions or operations.
 
u) Environmental Concerns - Both the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry are subject to extensive and changing international, national and local environmental and safety laws, regulations, treaties and conventions in force in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates (for example, in relation discharge of materials into the environment and otherwise relating to environmental protection). This legislation may change in a manner that may require additional or stricter standards than those now in effect, a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees and more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations. Such legislation or regulations may require additional capital expenditures or operating expenses in order for the Company to maintain compliance with international and/or national regulations. The Company may also become subject to additional laws and regulations if it enters new markets.

 





  There may be unforeseen environmental liabilities resulting from the Company's operations that may be costly to remedy. In particular, the acceptable level of pollution and the potential clean-up costs and obligations and liability for toxic or hazardous substances for which the Company may become liable as a result of its activities may be impossible to assess against the current legal framework and current enforcement practices of the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company could also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims relating to the release of or exposure to hazardous materials associated with its operations. In addition, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of the Company's operations. The extent of potential liability, if any, for the costs of abatement of environmental hazards cannot be accurately determined and consequently no assurances can be given that the costs of implementing environmental measures or meeting any liabilities in the future will not be material to the Company or affect its business or operations.
 
v) Climate Change - Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulatory measures may include, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. Compliance with changes in laws and regulations relating to climate change could increase the Company's costs of operating and could require it to make significant financial expenditures that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Additionally, adverse effects upon the oil and natural gas industry relating to climate change, including growing public concern about the environmental impact of climate change, may also adversely affect demand for the Company's products. For example, increased regulation of greenhouse gases or other concerns relating to climate change may reduce the demand for oil and natural gas and refined petroleum products in the future. Any long-term material adverse effect on the oil and natural gas industry could have a significant financial and operational adverse impact on the Company's business that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
 
w) Health and Safety Risks - Many of our business activities are subject to health and safety standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities of the countries in which we conduct our business activities. We may become subject to claims for liability for injuries or deaths to our workers or others against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
 
x) Title Risk - We have or may acquire leases, rights or other real property associated with our projects, but the property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through our due diligence searches. We believe our interests are valid, but this is no guarantee against possible claims. If title to property associated with our projects is challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such claims and our ownership interest therein may be detrimentally affected if we lose.
 
y) Price Volatility Risks - During the past few years, world oil and gas prices have undergone an unprecedented rise followed closely by a precipitous decline. Skyrocketing demand in emerging markets has driven electricity prices to record highs in many localities. This price volatility has substantial impact upon the international oil and gas and energy business and the Company's business in particular. The nature of the impact and its future effect upon the Company is almost impossible to determine with any degree of confidence. Continued volatility of oil, gas, and electricity prices adds substantial risk to the Company's efforts to plan, budget, or forecast its business activities. Price volatility may contribute to an inability of the Company to repay any debt or pay any obligations on its projects which could have serious and material adverse consequences on the Company.
 
z) Currency/Exchange Rate Risk - Many of the financial obligations and commitments the Company from time to time undertakes in its international energy business are denominated in US Dollars. A substantial amount of the Company's business transactions are, and may be, denominated in other currencies, especially the Indonesian Rupiah. Fluctuations in these currencies may have a substantial effect on the Company’s financial statements due to related gains or losses due to exchange rate changes. Significant variations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations because the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Rupiah against the US Dollar on working capital of the Company's Indonesian subsidiaries and of their respective Rupiah denominated accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are exposed to fluctuations against the US Dollar.
 
aa) Financing Risks - The Company is not generating income or revenue, has generated losses to date and does not presently have sufficient financial resources to undertake by itself all of its planned acquisitions. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain new financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to extend or defer its contractual work commitments in the event sufficient funds are not available. It is possible that prolonged inability of the Company to fund its commitments could result in a loss of some or all of its interest. Management is pursuing all available options to raise working capital and funds for its various projects. There can be no assurance that the management will be successful.
 
bb) Liquidity Risk - The future development of the properties of the Company and acquisition of new properties shall depend upon the ability of the Company to finance through the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. The Company intends to raise required additional funds by selling equity or debt securities, until it develops or acquires cash flow from operations. While the Company has been successful in raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can continue to do so. If such funds cannot be secured, the Company will be forced to curtail its exploration/development efforts to a level for which funding can be secured. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing. This situation could be exacerbated by acts of international terrorism or unforeseen political disturbances. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity are substantially determined by the success or failure of its exploration programs or the acquisition of new properties and projects.

 





cc) Stock Market Volatility - The effect of volatile oil and gas prices as described above has had a huge effect upon the world stock markets and most companies, including the Company have seen a severe reduction in their market capitalization. Lower stock prices and loss of investor confidence reduce the Company's ability to raise equity capital on the stock markets.
 
dd) Risk of Future Changes in Regulatory Environment - Regardless of their location, our properties and our operations thereon are governed by laws and regulations relating to the development, production, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of crude oil, taxation and environmental and safety matters. Changes to regulations or compliance with regulations may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our Company. Further, exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
 
ee) Risks relating to our Common Stock - Shareholders' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire additional oil and gas property interests in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of existing shareholders in our Company will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all existing shareholders.
 
ff) Risk of Concentration of Shareholder Control - Principal shareholders, senior management and Directors have significant influence regarding share ownership. This concentration could lead to conflicts of interest and difficulties for non-insider investors effecting corporate changes, and could adversely affect our Company's share price. As of the Report Date, our senior management, Directors and greater than five percent shareholders (and their affiliates), acting together, held approximately 47 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of our Company and have the ability to influence all matters submitted to our Company's shareholders for approval (including the election and removal of Directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our Company's assets) and to control our Company's management and affairs (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares. Employee, Director and consultant stock options and warrants could lead to greater concentration of share ownership among insiders and could lead to dilution of share ownership which could lead to depressed share prices.
 
gg) Stock Option Risk - Because the success of our Company is highly dependent upon our respective employees, our Company has granted to certain employees, Directors and consultants stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as non-cash incentives (see "Share Ownership" below in this Annual Report).To the extent that significant numbers of such stock options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other shareholders of our Company may be diluted causing possible loss of investment value.
 
hh) No Dividend Distribution - We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors may never declare cash dividends, and such action is exclusively within our discretion. Shareholders cannot expect to receive a dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future, if at all.
 
ii) Penny Stock Rules - Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s "Penny Stock" rules which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. The SEC has adopted rules which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors”. The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with their spouse.
 
  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.
 
  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the share that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.

 





jj) Limitations to Buy or Sell Shares - The National Association of Securities Dealer (NASD) has adopted sales practice requirements which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares. In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
kk) Indemnity of Officers and Directors - Our articles contain provisions that state, subject to applicable law, we must indemnify every Director or officer of our Company, subject to the limitations of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), against all losses or liabilities that our Company's Directors or Officers may sustain or incur in the execution of their duties. Our articles further state that no Director or officer will be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune that may happen to, or be incurred by our Company in the execution of his duties if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our Company. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of litigation against our Company's Officers and Directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our Company's Officers and Directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and our shareholders.
 
ll) Management and Employee Risks - Key management employees may fail to properly carry out their duties or may leave, which could negatively impact our corporate operations and/or our share price. Our Company’s financial condition and the success of our oil and gas operations is dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. We face competition for qualified personnel from numerous industry sources, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of service of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations and/or financial condition, which may negatively impact our share price. We do not have key-man insurance on any of our employees.
 
mm) Key Management Risk - The Company depends entirely upon its management and personnel to identify, acquire, finance and operate a portfolio of upstream and downstream oil and gas assets through which the Company can grow. The Company's management is comprised of a small number of key employees with technical skills and expertise in the business, the loss of any one of whom could harm the Company. There is strong competition for qualified personnel in the oil and natural gas industry, as such there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business. The Company does not currently maintain "key-man" insurance for any of its employees.
 
nn) Forward-Looking Statements - This Annual Report may contain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934.These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

9)- Conditional Acquisition of New Indonesian Property Interest - In a news release dated 8/28/17 the Company announced that it has entered into a preliminary private placement agreement with PT ALT GME Bungalun Kariorang (“AGBK”), a privately owned Indonesian company. AGBK owns and operates a 100% interest in a special Indonesian production sharing joint cooperation contract with state-owned PT Pertamina EP known as a "KSO". The KSO has a term of 20 years to May 2036 and provides exclusive rights to conduct oil and gas exploration, exploitation, and production operations within an onshore area of 390,000 acres located on the east coast of Borneo island, named the "BK Block". By taking up a new-issue private placement of AGBK's authorized share capital, the Company shall earn a 25% shareholding stake in AGBK, and shall also acquire exclusive rights from AGBK to off-take 100% of all future crude oil and natural gas produced by AGBK from the BK Block. Privately owned Indonesian company PT-ALT shall retain a 75% controlling interest stake in AGBK.
 
  In accordance with the provisions of its KSO, AGBK paid a $1,000,000 signature bonus and committed to expend a firm commitment amount of $15,000,000 on geological, geophysical, and drilling work in the BK Block during the first 3 KSO contract years ending in May 2019. The Company will invest a total of $4,000,000 to fund its 25% share of the bonus and of the firm commitment, to earn both its stake in AGBK and its rights to offtake future BK Block petroleum production. AGBK shall use the entire investment proceeds exclusively for performing work within the BK Block in accordance with approved annual budgets as provided for in the KSO and firm commitment. The $4,000,000 investment shall be treated by AGBK as a non-interest bearing advance from a shareholder. The Company shall be entitled to full reimbursement of the investment directly from BK Block oil or gas production "cost recovery" proceeds in the manner provided for in the KSO. Closing of the placement is subject to and conditional upon final terms, conditions, and provisions to be set forth in four separate "Definitive Agreements"; 1) a "Placement Agreement", 2) a "Long Term Crude Oil Supply Agreement", 3) a "Long Term Natural Gas Supply Agreement", and 4) a "Shareholders Agreement". Closing is also subject to the Company delivering the first $500,000 of the investment within 60 days of signature of Definitive Agreements, and also to AGBK acquiring the appropriate government permits to qualify the investment and the Company's 25% AGBK shares stake as a foreign direct investment and shareholding. The placement and the Definitive Agreements are being negotiated on an arms-length basis notwithstanding the fact that a non-executive director of the Company is also the sole Director and CEO of AGBK. The director has no beneficial shares ownership in AGBK or in PT-ALT, the controlling holder of 75% of AGBK's shares. No fees of any kind are being paid to the director or to any third party intermediaries with regard to this transaction.
 
  The BK Block is located in the Kutai Timur Regency of East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia on the northwest flank of the Kutai Basin, the prolific oil and gas producing geological region surrounding the Mahakam Delta. Notable oil producing companies in the Kutai include Chevron, Total, Vico (formerly HuffCo), and Pertamina. The BK Block does not currently produce oil on a commercial basis, but the Block includes over 100 oil wells drilled on oil fields that were producing over 2,000 BOPD oil before World War II. Most of the wells were sabotaged or destroyed during the war and commercial production was never restored. A few of the old wellbores that survived are still capable of flowing oil at the surface which is now collected and used by local residents. In addition to exploration and exploitation drilling rights, the KSO gives AGBK the rights to redevelop and restore these old fields to production. Subsequent, to the end of Fiscal 2018, the Company announced its withdrawal from this arrangement in a news release dated 9/18/18 and further described in Item-4.i).1.
 
10)- Discharge of $517,500 Debt and Convertible Note - In a news release dated 8/31/17 the Company announced it had discharged debt and retired an outstanding promissory note and accumulated interest thereon in an aggregate amount of $517,500 by the issue to the loan holder of 10,350,000 "Units" of the Company's securities at a value of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one "Warrant' to purchase an additional common share at a fixed price of $0.10 per share for a term of one year.
 
11)- CHI Transaction and Acquisition of JV Subsidiary - In a news release dated 9/07/17 the Company announced that it has closed a deal (the "CHI Transaction") with eight subscribers and shareholders (the "Subscribers") of Continental Hilir Indonesia Pte. Ltd. ("CHI") a privately held Singapore company. CHI is the Company's joint venture partner under a Joint Development Agreement dated 1/04/17 (the "JDA") regarding the development of small scale crude oil refinery projects in Indonesia. The mostly Dubai based Subscribers have invested a total of $700,000 into CHI, consisting of $550,000 in cash and $150,000 in management services to CHI, to enable it to meet its obligations to the Company under the JDA. Of this amount CHI has made non-interest bearing reimbursable advances directly to the benefit of the Company of $381,666. The remainder is held as cash or has been expended for CHI’s benefit. Upon closure of the deal the JDA between CHI and the Company was terminated and extinguished.
 
  In accordance with separate settlement and disposition agreements with each one of the Subscribers, the Company reimbursed the entire $700,000 to the Subscribers by way of the issue of its own securities in an aggregate amount of 14,000,000 "Units" at a value of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one "Warrant" to purchase an additional common share at a fixed price of $0.10 per common share for a term of one year from issue.
 
  No commissions or fees of any kind were paid with respect to this transaction. Three of the Subscribers are related parties and also directors of the Company. The other Subscribers are all arms-length and unrelated parties to the Company. Each one of the related parties received 1,000,000 of the Units upon issue on the same terms as the arms-length Subscribers. With issue of the Units, the Company discharged $381,666 in debt and also took up the Subscribers' allocated shares of CHI such that the Company acquired ownership and control of CHI. The Company intends to repurpose CHI as its trading subsidiary to handle crude oil feedstock imports and refined products exports for the Company's planned small scale refineries in Indonesia.

 





12)- Fiscal 2017 AGM Held - The Company held its annual general meeting for Fiscal 2017 on 9/08/17.

Rudman, Phillip B. Garrison, and Karsani Aulia for Fiscal 2018, and 3) Re-appointed Davidson & Company LLP as the auditors of the Company for Fiscal 2018 at remuneration to be fixed by the directors.
 
13)- Indonesian Foreign Direct Investment License Received - In a news release dated 9/21/17 the Company announced that it has received a foreign direct investment license from BKPM, the Indonesian agency responsible for coordinating international investments.

PT-CHI will be charged with the task of creating new business opportunities for the Company within the "downstream" ("hilir" in Indonesian) oil and gas sector. Through PT-CHI, the Company shall offer management consulting services and joint venture opportunities to local Indonesian crude oil producers, regional investors, and the energy infrastructure development enterprises of regency or provincial level governments. Any one of whom may be a strategic partner, investor, or stakeholder in the Company's future downstream projects.
 
14)- New Vice President Appointed - On 10/16/17 the Company appointed Byron Tsokas to the position of Vice President of Business Development with the Company.

15)- In-Principal Approval of First Refinery - In a news release dated 11/03/17 the Company announced that its Indonesian subsidiary PT Continental Hilir Indonesia, has received the in-principal approval of the Governor of the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan for the construction and operation of a crude oil refinery to be built at KIPI Maloy located in the Kutai Timur Regency of East Kalimantan.
 
The approval includes the Company's plan for the Phase-1 construction of a simple refinery of 6,000 barrels of crude oil per day capacity; plus an associated 10MW electrical power generation facility utilizing heavy fuel oil produced by the refinery, and a tank farm for crude oil feedstock and refined product storage. The Phase-1 refinery will produce diesel fuel, B30 biodiesel, LPG, naphtha, marine fuel oil, and residual fuel oil for local sale direct to industry, distributors, and consumers within the East Kalimantan region. During Phase-1, the Company has made arrangements with an internationally recognized oil trader to supply imported crude oil to the refinery, until such time as crude oil feedstock can be purchased under long term contracts from local oil producers within the East Kalimantan Province
 
The Company expects that the total investment for Phase-1 to be $50 Million and targets end of December 2018 for commissioning and delivering of first refined products. Pre-fabricated modular refinery units sourced from the USA, and erected on site, are expected to provide a fast track to realization of the project in accordance with the Indonesian "KLIK" national policy for facilitating capital investments that involve expedited construction schedules. Phase-2 of the Company's plan will increase the capacity of the refinery to 24,000 barrels per day and add complex equipment to permit the production of automotive gasoline and jet fuel. Phase-2 is expected to increase the total project investment to $150 Million and produce first refined products by the end of 2020.
 
KIPI Maloy is a new international port and industrial park built within the Maloy Batuta Trans Kalimantan special economic zone (the "KEK-MBTK"). The KEK-MBTK is one of eight special economic zones established by the Indonesian federal government to provide comprehensive facilities to domestic and foreign investors. The KEK-MBTK was built by, and is directly administered by, the regional governments of East Kalimantan Province and of Kutai Timur Regency. Investors in the KEK-MBTK enjoy special licensing procedures and fiscal incentives, including beneficial import and export terms for international trade. The Company intends to build, own, and operate the KIPI Maloy refinery through PT Kilang Kaltim Continental, a special purpose Indonesian corporation established for foreign direct investment. The Company is in discussion with several interested financial partners, project funding sources, and lenders located in Indonesia, Dubai, and the USA.

18)- New Refinery Operating Subsidiary Established - In a news release dated 1/29/18, the Company announced that it has established an Indonesian subsidiary, PT Kilang Kaltim Continental ("KKC"), under a foreign direct investment license received from BKPM, the agency responsible for coordinating international investments.
 
KKC's investment license permits it to build, own, and operate a crude oil refinery at the KIPI Maloy port and industrial park, a special economic zone located in the Kutai Timur Regency of East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The planned 24,000 barrels per day capacity refinery is being designed to be built in two phases, and is intended to produce diesel fuel, B30 biodiesel, LPG, naphtha, marine fuel oil, and residual fuel oil for local sale direct to industry, distributors, and consumers within the East Kalimantan Province. The Company owns an 80% shareholding in KKC, and the Company's 85% owned Indonesian subsidiary, PT Continental Hilir Indonesia, owns the remaining 20%. Company director, Mr. Karsani Aulia, has been appointed as the first director of KKC, and the Company's CEO, Mr. Richard L. McAdoo has been appointed as KKC's first commissioner.

22)- Maloy Refinery Tax Holiday - In a news release dated 4/25/18 the Company announced that the Company's Maloy Refinery business has been designated a "Pioneer Industry" and as such will be eligible for a newly announced Indonesian corporate income tax holiday. Indonesia's Ministry of Finance this month issued a new "Tax Holiday" policy to encourage new investments in certain specified, strategic industries and business sectors that it designates as "Pioneer Industries". Integrated oil and gas refineries such as the Maloy Refinery project currently being developed by the Company's PT Kilang Kaltim Continental ("KKC") subsidiary are included in the list of designated Pioneer Industries. The new Tax Holiday policy confers a corporate income tax reduction for any Pioneer Industry for a fixed term. The length of the term is dependent upon the amount of total capital investment. Accordingly, the Company's KKC subsidiary expects to receive a Tax Holiday facility of 100%, and pay zero corporate income tax, for a period of 7 years commencing from the date of first commercial production and sale of refined products from the Maloy Refinery. After the initial 7 year tax free period, an additional 2 years period applies during which KKC shall pay income tax at a 50% reduced rate. Indonesia's current corporate income tax rate is otherwise a flat 25% on taxable income.
 
23)- Conditional Financing Arrangement For Maloy Refinery - In a news release dated 5/08/18 the Company announced that it has entered into a conditional financing arrangement with a privately owned, multi-national, refined petroleum products trading company group (the "Investor") for the Company's Indonesian subsidiary, PT Kilang Kaltim Continental ("KKC"), and the development of KKC's Maloy Refinery. The arrangement, and closing of any transaction, is subject to and conditional upon the Investor independently arranging its own finance and securing a long term crude oil or condensate refinery feedstock supply in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Investor, and to definitive transaction agreements. Under the pre-agreed general terms of the conditional agreement between the Investor, the Company, and KKC; the Investor will earn an 80% majority and controlling interest in KKC by providing 100% of KKC's capital investment and funding requirements to realize the Maloy Refinery development, and also undertaking obligations to 1) supply or otherwise guarantee long term crude oil or condensate feedstock to the Maloy Refinery, and 2) take delivery or otherwise guarantee long term refined products and fuels offtake from the Maloy Refinery.
 
The Company's 20% share of KKC financing requirements shall be advanced by the Investor on the Company's behalf, and the Company shall repay the cumulative amount of such non-interest bearing advances to the Investor from an 80% portion of the Company's 20% entitlement share of income and/or dividends distributions as and when such are received from KKC. At such time as the conditions of closing are met, and mutually agreeable definitive closing agreements are entered, the transaction shall close and the Company shall thereafter retain and own a 20% shareholding in KKC, which shall act as an incorporated joint venture between the Company and the Investor.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.

The Company is an emerging developer of conventional and alternative energy capacity integrated with upstream and downstream petroleum supply within the Republic of Indonesia. Why Indonesia? Already a G20 member, Indonesia is predicted by the World Bank to grow to the 4 th largest economy in the world by 2045.

The Company is a developer of modular, small-scale crude oil refineries that are co-located with smaller and/or stranded oil and gas producing fields. Each refinery is designed to refine high demand motor fuels for supply to underserved local markets in the Republic of Indonesia. The Company operates its primary business activities through two special purpose, limited liability, corporate subsidiaries more fully described in the





following section. Each of these subsidiaries has received the necessary investment licenses to permit foreign direct investment in Indonesia and one has received the required licenses from the Indonesian Ministry of Mines and Energy to build, own, and operate a petroleum refining business.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.

The Company conducts and manages substantially all of its business activities through the use of wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, partially owned joint venture corporations, and joint ventures. The Company itself functions as a holding company centralizing management and administrative activities while specific project and property ownership and management are held and vested in the subsidiary, joint venture company or joint venture.

a) Majority and Wholly-owned Subsidiaries - From time to time the Company establishes certain wholly and exclusively owned and controlled subsidiary companies usually for a special and single purpose such as, for example, to own and hold the rights to a specific oil and gas property. The accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated into those of the Company.

The Company's current business activities are limited to the upstream and downstream industries of the oil and gas business and are geographically concentrated within the Republic of Indonesia. The Company operates these business activities through two special purpose, limited liability, corporate subsidiaries, each incorporated in Indonesia during the fiscal year ended 6/30/18.

The companies law of Indonesia mandates at least two shareholders and imposes a two tiered, shareholder elected, two board governance regime consisting of a managing board of directors having at least one director and a supervisory board of commissioners having at least one commissioner. The board of commissioners advise and supervise the board of directors who manage the company's operations. The Company exerts absolute control over its Indonesian subsidiaries due to its shareholder voting control and control of the composition of both board its Indonesian subsidiaries. At the Report Date the Company's subsidiaries include:.

PT Continental Hilir Indonesia ("PT-CHI")

PT-CHI was incorporated on 9/12/17 under a foreign direct investment license with the Indonesian government as a management consulting business. The Company acts through PT-CHI and utilizes it to seek out and develop new Indonesian downstream oil and gas industry business opportunities for the Company's benefit. PT-CHI successfully identified and developed one such opportunity which directly led to the formation of a second new special purpose corporate subsidiary, KKC, to build, own, and operate the Maloy Refinery.

PT-CHI has a board of directors with three duly elected members and a board of commissioners with two duly elected members. PT-CHI shares two directors with the Company and the third PT-CHI is an employee of the Company. Another two directors of the Company are commissioners of PT-CHI. As of 6/30/18 and the Report Date, no other directors, officers, or senior executives of PT-CHI have been appointed, and PT-CHI has not issued any management contracts.

A total of 85% of the allocated share capital of PT-CHI is owned by the Company and 15% was allocated to three directors of the Company, in the proportions 5% each. Holding shares in an Indonesian company approved for foreign direct investment confers special privileges for obtaining long term stay visas and work permits on the foreign holders.

PT Kilang Kaltim Continental ("KKC")

KKC was incorporated on 12/05/17 under a foreign direct investment license with the Indonesian government and holds other licenses from the Ministry of Mines and Energy which permit it to build, own, and operate a 24,000 barrels per day capacity crude oil refinery at the KIPI Maloy International Port and Industrial Park, a new special economic zone and industrial center located in the Kutai Timur Regency of East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The Maloy Refinery is intended to refine local domestic Indonesian crude oil feedstocks into motor fuels and other refined products for sale direct to underserved industrial and retail consumers within the East Kalimantan Province.

KKC has a board of directors with one duly elected member and a board of commissioners with one duly elected member. Both the KKC director and the KKC commissioner are also directors of the Company As of 6/30/18 and at the Report Date, no other directors, officers, or senior executives of KKC have been appointed, and KKC has not yet issued any management contracts. The Company expects that further appointments will be made under employment contracts distinctly separate from those of the Company during Fiscal 2019.

The Company directly owns a total of 80% of the allocated share capital of KKC and indirectly owns the other 20% through its subsidiary PT-CHI's direct shareholding of 20% in KKC.

b) Joint Ventures - From time to time the Company enters joint ventures with other partners pursuant to a joint venture agreement or joint operating agreement. Such unincorporated joint venture arrangements are a customary practice for multiple otherwise unrelated companies to jointly own and share the risks and rewards of the oil, gas, and energy business. At the Report Date the Company's is not involved in any joint venture activities.

A. OPERATING RESULTS.

The following discussion of the Company's financial results includes those for the most recently completed last three Fiscal Years ended 6/30/18, 6/30/17, and 6/30/16. As used below, the phrases "last year" and "prior year" refers to financial results for the same fiscal period ended 30 June of the previous Fiscal Year.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE COMPANY’S FISCAL YEAR 2018, ENDED 6/30/18

All balances referred to in the following discussion are in US$ currency unless otherwise indicated.

Loss during Fiscal Year 2018 Ended 6/30/18 - The Company incurred a loss from operations of $712,711 during Fiscal 2018 compared to a loss of $439,606 during Fiscal 2017, an increase of $273,105 primarily due to non-cash costs such as the financing cost on the payoff of convertible debt and a transaction cost on an acquisition. The Company issued its common shares for both these transactions. The Company also recorded a gain on settlement of previously payable management fees through issuance of its common shares, reducing the impact of these non-cash costs. The Company incurred a loss per share of $0.00 in 2018 and $0.00 in 2017.

Finance during Fiscal Year 2018 Ended 6/30/18 - During 2018, the Company raised funds from private placements and exercise of warrants of $370,000. A total of $79,676 was advanced to the Company by a joint venture partner compared to $301,990 during 2017.

Expenses during Fiscal Year 2018 Ended 6/30/18 - The Company’s administrative costs were higher by $165,630 in 2018 compared to 2017, primarily due to the Company’s increased activity. The Company incurred higher professional and filing fees, office costs and travel expenses (in combination higher by $262,189 in comparison to 2017) to get its listing status reinstated and expand its business plans to become a developer of crude oil refineries. As a result, the Company also incurred $25,000 in engineering studies on the Maloy refinery. These higher costs were offset primarily by lower management fees (by $126,206) due to the Company’s CEO suspending his salary for the entire fiscal year and the resignation of the Company’s CFO during part of the year and him not charging any fees in the capacity of the Acting CFO. The Company’s interest costs were lower in 2018 by $37,304 due to the settlement of its convertible debt. All other expenses incurred during Fiscal 2018 remained consistent with Fiscal 2017.

Expenses during Fiscal Year 2017 Ended 6/30/17 - The Company’s administrative costs were lower by $14,428 in 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to reduced professional fees. (2017 - $376,842; 2016 - $391,270). Professional fees were lower in 2017 by $37,566 as compared to 2016. However, office costs, rent and insurance were $21,529 higher in 2017 as compared to 2016. Travel and accommodation expenses were also higher in 2017 at $17,441 compared to $8,514 in 2016.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE COMPANY’S FISCAL YEAR 2016, ENDED 6/30/16

All balances referred to in the following discussion are in US$ currency unless otherwise indicated.

The decrease is attributable to the lower share-based payments expense of $26,200 compared to $100,000 in Fiscal 2015. The Company’s office and investor relations costs were also lower in Fiscal 2016 compared to Fiscal 2015.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The following discussion of the Company's liquidity and working capital situation includes those for the most recently completed last three Fiscal Years ended 6/30/18, 6/30/17, and 6/30/16. Cash on hand is not sufficient to fund the Company’s overhead costs and new business development costs for the immediate future. The Company intends to focus its efforts on acquisitions of new properties to generate revenue. The Company also intends to conduct additional fund raising activities during the next fiscal year.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2018 on 6/30/18 - At the end of Fiscal 2018 on 6/30/18, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $536,676 compared to $1,721,256 in the previous year. Cash used in operating activities was $430,847 compared to $307,222 due to the Company’s higher activities during Fiscal 2018. The Company received cash from financing activities of $436,576 compared to $331,090. During Fiscal 2018, the funds raised by the Company were primarily as a result of private placements whereas during Fiscal 2017, the Company had primarily received advances from its joint venture partners.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2017 on 6/30/17 - At the end of Fiscal 2017 on 6/30/17, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $1,721,256 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,282,380 in the previous year. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended 6/30/17 totaled $307,222, compared with $74,225 in the prior fiscal year. The change is attributable to the cash payment of outstanding accounts payable, professional fees, management salaries and travel expenses. Cash from financing activities during the year ended 6/30/17 was $331,090 compared to $71,500 during the prior fiscal year.

  • Working Capital Situation at End Fiscal 2016 on 6/30/16 - At the end of Fiscal 2016 on 6/30/16, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $1,282,380 compared to the 6/30/15 working capital deficit of $836,752.

Cash from financing activities during the year ended 6/30/16 was $71,500 whereas there was $120,000 received from such activities during the year ended 6/30/15.

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

We do not currently, and did not previously, have research and development policies in place. Over the past three Fiscal Years, no funds were expended by our Company on research and development activities.

D. TREND INFORMATION.

The Company is aware of certain South East Asia and Indonesian market trends which we believe could have a material effect upon our business operations. These are:

  • Rising Fuel Demand in Indonesia – Fuel demand in Indonesia already reached 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd). However, oil refining capacity only stands around 1.1 million bpd, implying that 43 percent of fuel consumption in Indonesia needs to be imported from abroad. Oil refining capacity today is roughly the same as it was 15 years ago, meaning that there has been limited progress in development of Indonesia's downstream oil industry. Without adding refining capacity, Indonesia is on track to become the world's largest fuel importer within the next decade.

  • Indonesia Incentiizes Refineries - Indonesia currently has six oil refineries, all operated by the nation's state-owned energy company Pertamina. The government has continuously emphasized the need to boost investment in Indonesia's downstream oil industry and has deregulated permitting and provide pioneer industry status of tax holidays for private refiners. Stagnating investment is reflected by the fact that Pertamina has not built a new oil refinery in the last quarter of a century. Growing energy demand and manufacturing activities are creating investment opportunities in Indonesia’s downstream oil and gas sector. While in the past most oil and gas would be exported, strong economic growth and rapidly rising household spending mean the sector is increasingly focused on the home market. The Indonesian government is pushing to expedite the industry’s reorientation, which presents challenges and opportunities for businesses.

  • Petroleum Refineries - The Indonesian government has been lethargic about adding oil refining capacity for the best part of the last two decades, which has created a substantial domestic supply gap and dependence on refined petroleum imports. The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has stated that Indonesia needs at least 750,000 barrels per day (bpd) in new refining capacity in addition to the current 1 million bpd (in practice refineries run below full capacity). Transportation fuel demand is rising quickly, as is feedstock demand from the petrochemical sector, which is forecast to outperform the overall economy over the coming years. Pertamina has entered into agreements with Middle Eastern companies and is seeking further cooperation with foreign firms on more refineries. Incentives to compensate for high upfront costs have been one of the main sticking points in negations, but as demand increases, so too does the pressure on the government to accommodate investors with more attractive arrangements to offset some of the capital risk.

  • Crude Price Gap – Since 2011 there has been a marked change to the historical gap between the global market price of benchmark crude oils WTI and Brent. Prior to 2011, the Brent versus WTI spread traded in a range between a $4 discount for Brent to a $4 premium for Brent oil. The normal state of the relationship was a discount for the Brent crude. Brent has higher sulfur content than WTI, so Brent is more expensive to refine into gasoline. In addition, in years past there were greater supplies of Brent crude as the U.S. was a big importer of the commodity.
    Therefore, the Brent discount relative to WTI generally hovered between $2 and $4 per barrel. In recent years, volatility in the spread between the two oils has increased and Brent crude has moved to a premium to WTI. Near the Report Date Brent is trading at a $3 premium to WTI.

    The Company expects this trend to continue and the gap to continue or widen in the foreseeable future due largely to the success and revitalization of the US shale oil producers whose oil production is a substitute in terms of volume to non-US sourced oil such as Brent. The





    Company's core business focus is Indonesia and the SE Asia region where the higher Brent price received for any oil we produce would have a positive effect on the Company. Similarly, the WTI-Brent gap and Brent premium is largely reflected in the prices of refined petroleum products and rapidly rising consumer demand in our core region of operations would also have a positive effect on product revenues for any small-scale refinery we may develop.
  • Natural Gas Prices in SE Asia – Increasing consumer demand in SE Asia for electrical power is driving a rapidly growing market that is also becoming increasingly environmentally aware of the benefits of natural gas power generation over the traditional alternative of coal. Already, gas producers with access to any of the limited pipeline capacity of Indonesia enjoy long-term gas supply contract prices with commercial and sovereign cross-border buyers who pay at multiples of 3 to 5 times over peak season Henry Hub gas prices. New pipeline capacity is being laid to make more gas available to feed the demand. The Company sees the trend from coal to gas as the fuel of choice, and the continued increase in market demand for power, constrained by available transport capacity, as having a possible positive impact on the Company for any gas production or gas-fired power plants it develops.

E. Off-balance sheet arrangements.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

F. TABULAR DISCLOSURE OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.

B. COMPENSATION.

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain high performing senior executives, encourage and reward superior performance and align the executives’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Individual compensation may be based on individual experience and performance or other criteria deemed important by the Compensation Committee. In order to meet the Company’s objectives, executive compensation is guided by three principles: 1) providing executives with an equity-based incentive plan, namely a stock option plan; 2) aligning employee compensation with Company corporate objectives; and 3) attracting and retaining qualified individuals in key positions.

a)     

Compensation Policy Elements - An executive compensation policy has been established to acknowledge and reward the contributions of the executive Officers to the Company’s success and to ensure competitive compensation, in order that the Company may benefit from the expertise required to pursue its objectives. The Company’s executive compensation policy is comprised of both fixed and variable components. The variable components include equity and non-equity incentive plans. Each compensation component has a different function, but all elements are intended to work in concert to maximize Company and individual performance by establishing specific, competitive operational and financial goals and by providing financial incentives to employees based on their level of attainment of these goals. The Company’s current executive compensation program is comprised of the following components:

    • Base Salary - Salaries of the Company’s executive Officers are reviewed periodically by the Compensation Committee. In determining individual base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration individual circumstances that may include the scope of an executive’s position, location of employment, the executive’s relevant competencies, experience, performance, and retention risk.

    • Non-Equity Incentives - The Company has no formal short or long term non-equity incentive compensation plan having objective targets or measures in determining non-equity incentives, but instead periodically makes cash bonuses allocated and paid to one or more executives based on merit and individual accomplishment and contribution to advancing the Company’s project development and strategic objectives. The granting of cash incentives requires the approval of both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors and are based upon an assessment of each individual’s performance in achieving significant value for the Company, specifically; an executive being instrumental in successfully negotiating a new property acquisition, arranging a financing, drilling a successful well, closing a corporate merger or acquisition, or playing a substantive role in a similar milestone event.

    • 2017 Stock Option Plan - The Company has no formal long term equity compensation plan having objective targets or measures in determining equity incentives. Instead incentive compensation paid to the Company’s executive Officers consists exclusively of Option- Based awards pursuant to the Company’s formal stock option plan, from time to time approved by the shareholders. The Company' current incentive stock option plan was adopted and approved at an annual general meeting on 8/04/17. It is known as the " 2017 Stock Option Plan ", and permits the directors to grant up to 12,301,538 options to purchase common shares, an amount equivalent to 10% of the total common shares issued and outstanding on its approval date. A summary of other key elements of the 2017 Stock Option Plan is as follows:

  a)

Purpose of Plan - The purpose of the 2017 Stock Option Plan (the " Plan ") is to provide the Company with an equity based compensation mechanism (in this case one common share (a " Share ") of the Company underlying each " Option ") to attract, retain and motivate qualified "Executives", "Employees" and "Consultants" (as each group is defined in the Plan) to contribute toward the long term goals of the Company. It also encourages such individuals to acquire Shares of the Company as long term investments, and thereby aligns the common interests of such individuals to those of the Company's other shareholders.

   

 
  b)

Oversight of the Plan - The Compensation Committee of the board of directors is charged with oversight and management of the Plan. The Compensation Committee also determines, subject to the provisions of the Plan, those Executives, Employees and Consultants to whom Options are to be granted; the Exercise Price at which the Option may be exercised; the term for which the Option is to be valid; and the special terms or vesting milestones of the Option, if any, set out in the Option certificate delivered to the holder.

   

 
  c)     

Participation in Plan - The Compensation Committee of the board of directors is charged with oversight and management of the Plan. The Compensation Committee also determines those Executives, Employees and Consultants to whom Options are to be granted.

Maximum Number of Shares - The aggregate maximum number of Options which may be granted under the Plan, including any options granted pursuant to a previous plan, may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon any grant date.

   

 





  e)     

Rolling Return - If any Option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares in respect of such expired or terminated Option shall again be available for the purposes of granting Options pursuant to this Plan. Similarly, 10% of the new shares created on any Option exercise shall contribute to the available pool of Options available for grant.

   

 
  f)     

Exercise Price of Option - The " Exercise Price " shall not be less than the " Market Value " of the Shares as of the grant date. The Market Value of the Shares for a particular grant date is the closing trading price of the Shares on the day immediately preceding the grant date, and may be less than this price only if it is within the discounts permitted by the applicable listing requirements and regulatory authorities.

 

  g)

Limitations on Grant Amounts - The following limitations shall apply to the Plan and all Options granted thereunder:

   

 

  i . 

The maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Option holder under the Plan within any twelve (12) month period shall be five percent (5%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon the grant date.

   

 

  i i .

If required by listing or regulatory rules, disinterested shareholder approval is required to the grant to Insiders, within a twelve (12) month period, of a number of Options which, when added to the number of outstanding incentive stock options granted to Insiders within the previous twelve (12) months, exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued Shares;

i i i .

The maximum number of Options which may be granted to any one Consultant within any twelve (12) month period must not exceed two percent (2%) of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding upon the grant date; and

i v .

  h)     

No Transfers - Options granted under the Plan are not transferable and may not be assigned.

   

 
  i)     

Limitations on Term - The expiry date of an Option may be fixed by the Compensation Committee at the date of grant provided that the expiry date of no Option shall be later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its grant date. Additionally:

   

 
  i . 

In the event of the death or disability of the holder, the Options shall expire be exercisable by the holder's personal representative for a period of one-year from the date of death or disability.

   

 
  i i .

In the event of termination of employment, engagement, or holding of the office for which the Options were granted for any reason including resignation, the Option shall expire thirty (30) days after such termination.

    • Pension Plan Benefits - The Company does not currently have any formal pension plans that oblige the Company to make payments or provide benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of its Directors, Officers, or employees.

    • Share-Based Awards - The Company does not currently have any formal short or long term share-based award plans that oblige the Company to make any direct grants and issues of Company securities to its Directors, Officers, or employees as compensation.

d)     

Compensation of Directors -The Company has no standard arrangement pursuant to which Directors are compensated by the Company for their services solely in their capacity as Directors except for the granting from time to time of incentive stock options in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan and except for compensation paid to Directors who are also executive Officers. No cash compensation was paid to any Director of the Company for the Director’s services as a Director during the most recently completed financial year, other than the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

 

 
e)

Notes to the table:

1      

When applicable the value of the share-based and options awards reflects the fair value of options granted on the dates of grant. The fair value is computed using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate; b) expected years of life of the option; c) the price of the stock on the grant date; d) expected volatility as a percentage; and e) no expected dividend payments. The Black Scholes model is used to compute option fair values because it is the most commonly used option pricing model and is considered to produce a reasonable estimate of fair value.

2      

During the year ended 6/30/18, the Company’s CEO voluntarily suspended and terminated payment and accrual of salary commencing from 7/01/17 and continuing until such time as the Company’s financial condition permits a resumption of such cost.

The major shareholders listed do not include any possible major shareholders whose shares are held by nominee depositories CDS and CEDE as described in the following section. The Company is not aware of the identities of unregistered shareholders and beneficial owners of the shares held by nominee depositories CDS or CEDE.

Registered and Unregistered Shareholders - We estimate that the total number of Registered and Unregistered Shareholders of the Company is approximately 990, based on the following assumptions:

  • Registered Shareholders - The Company knows the names, residences, and respective numbers of shares held by only those holders who possess a paper certificate on file with our registrar and transfer agent (collectively our “ Registered Shareholders ”). Each year our transfer and clearing agents Computershare and Broadridge furnish us with a list of Registered Shareholders entitled to vote at our annual general meeting and we use this list to mail proxy and meeting information, and some information about non-objecting beneficial owners who are unknown to us but hold our shares through an intermediary broker dealer or similar financial institution. As at the most recent record date for an annual general meeting we had 190 registered shareholders holding about 57% of our outstanding common shares.

  • Unregistered Shareholders - The Company has researched to the best of its ability, the “ Unregistered Shareholders ”. The shares of our Unregistered Shareholders are commonly held by brokerage firms that use a share depository institution as its nominee and clearing house on behalf of banks, brokerage firms, institutions and their respective clients. Two of these share depository institutions, CDS and CEDE, hold a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as shown in the preceding table. Canadian Depository for Securities, Inc., or “ CDS ” is a Canadian depository and “ CEDE ” an American nominee of the Depository Trust Company is a USA depository. The actual number of shareholders, the amount of shares owned by each, the residence of each, and the identities of each actual individual shareholder represented by the CDS and CEDE holdings is not known to the Company except for a limited amount of shareholders who have elected to receive annual meeting proxy and other information directly from the Company. We estimate the number of our Unregistered Shareholders from the number of proxy materials requested of the Company by various brokerage houses for distribution to our shareholders at the record date of our most recently held annual general or special shareholders meeting. Unregistered Shareholders hold about 43% of our outstanding common shares.

Geographic Distribution of Shareholders - We estimate the location of Registered Shareholders from the registered certificate addresses provided by our transfer agent. In the case of Unregistered Shareholders, we presume that the shares held by Canadian depository CDS represent Canadian or other Non-US holders and we presume that shares held at CEDE are attributable to USA resident holders although we have no way of knowing these facts as certain. As at the Report Date, based on mailings of proxy materials for our annual general meetings, we estimate that 21% of shares are held by residents located in the USA, another 28% in Canada, and the remaining 51% in other countries.

Control - To the extent known to the Company, the Company is not owned or controlled directly or indirectly by another corporation, or by any foreign government, or by any other natural or legal person severally or jointly, other than disclosed herein.

Change of Control - To the extent known to the Company, there are no arrangements, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.
