Notes to the CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED financial statements
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE SIX MONTH FINANCIAL
REPORT
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the six
month reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial
Reporting.
The summary accounts set out above do not constitute statutory
accounts as defined by Section 84 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981
or Section 435 of the UK Companies Act 2006. The condensed
consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2013 and
the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes
in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows
for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's 2013
statutory financial statements upon which the auditors' opinion is
unqualified. The condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss
or other comprehensive income has been prepared using information
extracted from the Group's 2013 statutory financial statements.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not
include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual
financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in
conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013
and any public announcements made by Spitfire Oil Limited during
the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous
disclosure requirements.
Copies of this interim report are being sent to all registered
shareholders. Additional copies are available from the Company's
London office, 60 St James's Street, London, SW1A 1LE.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the
previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting
period.
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
In the six months ended 31 December 2013, the Group has reviewed
all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by
the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013.
It has been determined by the Group that, there is no material
impact of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its
business and therefore no change is necessary to the Group's
accounting policies.
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and
Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for
the half-year ended 31 December 2013. As a result of this review
the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or
otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on
its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group
accounting policies.
No retrospective change in accounting policy or material
reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third
Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the
comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on the
reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make
strategic decisions. For management purposes, the Group has
identified only one reportable segment, being the exploration and
mining for valuable resources that produce energy in Australia.
NOTE 3: DIVIDENDS
The Company has not declared any dividends in the period ended
31 December 2013.

calculation of basic and
diluted loss per share (A$) (116,964) (182,907) (289,639)

the calculation of basic

Options that are considered to be potential ordinary shares are
excluded from the weighted average number of ordinary shares used
in the calculation of basic loss per share. Where dilutive,
potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of
diluted loss per share.
All the options on issue do not have the effect to dilute loss
per share. Therefore they have been excluded from the calculation
of diluted loss per share. There have been no other conversions to,
call of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares since the reporting
date and before the completion of this report.
NOTE 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2013,
which has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the
operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the
state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
