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. As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "Company" mean Continental Energy Corporation, a foreign private issuer incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

ITEM-1 : IDENTITY OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISERS We are filing this Form-20F as an annual report under the Exchange Act and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-1 is not applicable. ITEM-2 : OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE We are filing this Form-20F as an annual report under the Exchange Act and therefore the provision of information called for by this Item-2 is not applicable. ITEM-3 : KEY INFORMATION A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.The financial data for Fiscal years ended 6/30/10, 6/30/11, and 6/30/12 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 6/30/08 and 6/30/09 are derived from the Company's audited financial statements, not included herein, but filed with previous Form-20F Annual Reports and incorporated herein by this reference. The financial data shown in the following table is derived from the financial statements of the Company, which for fiscal years ending 6/30/11 and earlier, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the application of which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects for the periods presented with US GAAP, except as disclosed in footnotes to the financial statements. Commencing from 7/1/11 and for the current fiscal year ended 6/30/12, the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards {"IFRS") instead of GAAP. The 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 as set forth above, in this report; and hence no basis for such calculation is included. The selected financial data set forth in the following table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

The common shares of our Company are considered speculative. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and our business before purchasing our common shares. Our business, operating or financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks: Nature of the Exploration Business- The nature of the Company's business, oil and gas exploration, places the entire foundation of the enterprise in a high-risk category. Oil and gas exploration involves a very high degree of risk. There is no assurance that expenditures to be made, as intended by the Company on exploration or "wildcat" drilling of its properties will result in any discoveries of oil and gas in commercially exploitable quantities. The marketability of any oil and gas actually discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company including availability of a market for gas, oil and gas market price fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of transport and processing equipment, additional financing and government regulation. Drilling and production operations involve risks including blowouts, oil spills and fires (each of which could result in damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other properties, or injury to persons).Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the Company's production from successful wells. Specific risk factors are described below: Competitive Risk- Competition among oil companies for quality properties and limited amounts of drilling capital is intense. Partner Risk- The Company does not currently manage operations of its resource properties. Management and operatorship of each property is the responsibility of one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, partially owned joint venture companies, or joint venture partners. The degree of control over direct management of each property exerted by the Company is largely dependent upon the amount of participating interest held by the Company in the subsidiary, joint venture company, or joint venture in proportion to that held by other interest holders. Other factors affecting the degree of Company’s direct control include the number of Company designated directors on the boards of the subsidiaries and affiliates and the provisions of any applicable joint venture agreements or shareholders agreements in effect. Any number of risks beyond the control of the Company could have a detrimental effect on the Company's joint venture partners and cause them to be unable to fund their own share of costs or meet their share of 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 costs and the Company's own interest may thereby be detrimentally affected. Minority Shareholding Risks- The Company often holds minority interests in its projects, properties, and investments and this level of interest offers only very limited degree of management control or influence by the Company. This lack of management control could have a detrimental effect upon the value of the Company’s interests. 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 or to fund its contractual commitments. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain 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. 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. Political Risks - Indonesia- The Company's investments in the Republic of Indonesia 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 Indonesian government policies adverse to the Company could include a change in crude oil pricing policy, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions and contracts, taxation policies, foreign exchange and repatriation restrictions, international monetary fluctuations and currency controls. Direct and indirect effects of the decline in value of the Rupiah have included high levels of domestic inflation, reductions in employment, high interest rates, unavailability of traditional sources of financing, and an overall contraction in production and income levels. These conditions have affected and may continue to affect the operating environment in Indonesia, as well as the cost and availability of financing for natural resources development efforts. Impediments to a return to more normal economic conditions in Indonesia, or shocks to the system that exacerbate current adverse economic conditions, could originate from various sources, including further social unrest, terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, secessionist provinces, lack of government effectiveness due to political uncertainty, or policy initiatives adverse to foreign investment. Recent changes to Indonesian petroleum legislation could impact the Company's concessions or operations on those concessions as implementation guidelines related to the new legislation are released by the government. Increasing calls for economic autonomy among many Indonesian provinces may impact the Company's Indonesian concessions or operations thereon as local provinces and regencies receive more control over their natural resources from the central government. Continental Energy Corp - FYE 2012 - Form-20F Annual Report

---

Oil and Gas Exploration Risks- Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that expenditures to be made by the Company on its oil and gas properties will result in any discoveries of oil and gas in commercial quantities. The Company intends to participate in the drilling of both exploratory and development wells. Exploratory wells have a much greater dry hole risk than do development wells. The marketability of any oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered, will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, rig availability and government regulation, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. World Liquidity Crisis- As of the Report Date, the world is experiencing a financial crisis not seen during the last 75 years. Access to equity and debt capital has become severely restricted and there is no way to tell at the present time how long this situation may last. This situation affects the Company, its partners, its contractors, and its investors; adding a substantial amount of uncertainty and risk to the Company's business. Oil Price Risk- During the past year world oil and gas prices have undergone an unprecedented rise followed closely by a precipitous decline to 40% of its previous value. This price volatility has substantial impact upon the oil 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 and gas 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. Stock Market Volatility- The combined effect of the World Liquidity Crisis and Oil Price Risk 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. Operating Risks- Production operations involve risks normally incident to such activities, including blowouts, oil spills and fires (each of which could result in damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other properties, or injury to persons).Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the Company's production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-in of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity. While close well supervision and effective maintenance operations can contribute to maximizing production rates over time, production delays and declines from normal field operating conditions cannot be eliminated and can be expected to adversely affect operating revenues from time to time in varying degrees. 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. Key Management Risk- The Company depends entirely upon its management to identify, acquire, finance and operate a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties through which the Company can grow and achieve oil production and a steady income. 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. The Company does not currently maintain "key-man" insurance for any of its employees. Currency/Exchange Rate Risk- All of the Company’s material financial obligations and commitments are denominated in US Dollars. A substantial amount of the Company's business transactions are and may be denominated in Indonesian Rupiah due to operations on its principal properties. Fluctuations in the Rupiah may have a substantial effect on the Company’s financial statements due to related gains or losses due to exchange rate changes. The Company does not hedge and engage in other strategies to protect itself from adverse fluctuations in the respective exchange rate. Significant variations in exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations. Health, Safety and Environmental Risks- Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed and such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Our current and anticipated exploration and drilling activities are subject to the aforementioned environment regulations. When and if we establish reserves or enter into production, we will become subject to additional regulations which do not currently pertain to us or affect our current operations. Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position. Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards 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. Continental Energy Corp - FYE 2012 - Form-20F Annual Report

Oil and gas operations in are also subject to federal and state laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling and production operations to be conducted; we may not receive such permits. Furthermore oil and gas operations in the United States are also subject to federal and state laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the construction and operation of facilities, the use of water in industrial processes, the removal of natural resources from the ground, and the discharge/release of materials into the environment. Title Risk- We have or may acquire oil and gas leases in respect of the real property associated with our projects, but the real property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through title searches. We believe our interests are valid. These leases do not guarantee title against all possible claims. The real property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through title research. If the oil and gas leases to the real property associated with our projects are challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such claims and may ultimately lose some or all of any revenues generated from the projects if we lose our interest in such leases. 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. 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 36 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. 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. 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, which action is exclusively within our discretion. Shareholders cannot expect to receive a dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future, if at all. 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. Continental Energy Corp - FYE 2012 - Form-20F Annual Report

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. 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. No USA Presence- We do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. A majority of our Directors and Officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our Company or our Officers or Directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. 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. Director’s Conflicts of Interest- Because we have not adopted a formal conflicts of interest policy, the occurrence of one or more conflicts could have a negative impact on our ability to raise capital and/or our share price. Some of our Directors and Officers serve or may serve as Directors or Officers of other oil and gas or mineral exploration companies or have interests in other oil and gas or mineral exploration companies or ventures. To the extent that our Company has dealings with such companies or ventures, certain of our Directors and Officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such dealings. Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), our Directors and senior Officers must disclose material interests in any contract or transaction (or proposed contract or transaction) material to our Company (see "Related Party Transactions" below in this annual report).However, our lack of a formal conflicts of interest policy may make it difficult for our Company to raise additional capital because institutional investors may be unable to invest in our Company. Furthermore, we may be unable to list our shares on an exchange if such exchange requires that we have a formal conflicts of interest policy, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and may have an adverse effect on the value of your investment in our Company or the market for our shares.

Bengara-II 3D Seismic Completed- Pursuant to a press release dated 9/27/11 the Company announced the completion of 3D seismic acquisition and processing operations on its Bengara-II Block, Indonesia. The Bengara-II block production sharing contract is owned and operated by the Company's 18% owned subsidiary, Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. ("CGB2"). Surface damage claims disputes with prawn farm operators in the area of the seismic data acquisition program commenced in 2009. These delays have resulted in accumulated delays of two years to the original estimated date for completion of seismic recording operations. These disputes have led to considerable cost increases due to standby charges during down times, and duplication of work; particularly re-surveying, re-bridging, and the re-drilling of seismic shot-holes, made necessary by physical deterioration due to extended periods of inactivity. During Fiscal 2012 CGB2 applied for lost time compensation to extend the exploration period of the Bengara-II PSC for an additional two years due to these delays. CGB2 has also revised its 2011 budget and increased its estimate of the total cost of the combined 3D and 2D seismic program by an additional $11.6 million, bringing the total estimated completion cost for the 2009 Bengara-II seismic program to $35 Million. Field shooting and recording operations on 685 line kilometers of 2D seismic and 178 square kilometers (120 km2full fold) 3D seismic data acquisition program were completed in November 2011.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW.The Company's core business is oil and gas exploration via acquisition, exploration and development of conventional and unconventional oil and gas properties in SE Asia, particularly Indonesia. The Company is currently expanding its business into resource related renewable energy development, particularly resource based alternative energy including geothermal and run-of-river hydropower also with a focus on SE Asia. The Company is an exploration stage company and none of its properties are currently generating revenue. The recovery of the Company’s investment in its properties and attainment of profitable operations is principally dependent upon financing being arranged by the Company to continue operations, develop its existing resource properties, and acquire new ones. The outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined because they are contingent on future events. A strong and growing domestic demand for crude oil, natural gas, and electrical power in the SE Asia region provides expanding and nearby markets for any energy production Continental establishes.

   A “gross well” is a well in which we own a participating interest. The total number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which we own or owned a participating interest.
 A “net well” is deemed to exist when the sum of all fractional ownership interests in gross wells equals one. The number of net wells is the sum of the proportion of the actual fractional participating interests we own in gross wells expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof. A “service well” is a well drilled for purposes other than oil or gas production, for example for use as a water or gas injection well or as a salt water disposal well.

A “dry hole” is an exploratory or a development well found to be incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as a commercially productive oil or gas well. A “productive” well is an exploratory or a development well that is not a dry hole. d.

Location of Company’s Oil & Gas Properties- At the end of Fiscal 2012 the Company owned one oil and gas property by virtue of its 18% shares holding interest in Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. The area covered by the Bengara-II PSC property (the "Bengara-II Block") is located mostly onshore and partially offshore in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan on the east coast of the island of Borneo. The Bengara-II Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”)- On 12/04/97 Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (“CGB2”) entered into a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) for the Bengara-II PSC contract area with the Minister of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Indonesia. CGB2 is the sole owner of 100% of the rights to the Bengara-II PSC. Management of operating activities in the Bengara-II contract area pursuant to the PSC is vested in CGB2 as the Bengara-II PSC "Operator". At the Report Date, the Company owns 9,000 shares of CGB2 representing a minority 18% stake in CGB2. GeoPetro Resources Company owns 12%.

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 four basic components: 1.

   base salary;2.

   non-equity incentives, consisting of a cash bonus linked to both individual and corporate performance;3.

   long-term compensation, consisting of stock options granted under the Company’s formal stock option plan; and4.

   other elements of compensation, consisting of benefits and perquisites. 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 require 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. Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan (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”. Shareholder approval for the Company’s current stock option plan (the “2008 Plan”) was obtained at the annual general meeting of the Shareholders held on 12/12/08. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company (the “Participants”) to acquire common shares in the Company, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Company, encouraging them to remain associated with the Company and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Company in the conduct of their affairs. As of 9/17/12, the Board of Directors approved replacing and superseding the 2008 Plan with an amended and restated Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan shall apply to all incentive stock options granted under the 2008 Plan, provided that the specific terms of any valid and outstanding incentive stock option agreement shall not be in any other way amended, diminished, or otherwise prejudiced by application of the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan is subject to such approvals of the shareholders of the Company and any applicable stock exchanges as may be required from time to time by the terms of the 2012 Plan and the rules of any applicable stock exchanges. At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 11/30/12, the shareholders will be asked to ratify, confirm and approve the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan permits the award of up to a maximum of 25,000,000 options to the Participants and limits the amounts of options which can be granted to a single person to 7.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares and 15% of same to all related persons (Directors, Officers, and insiders) as a group. The Board of Directors has full and complete authority to interpret the Company’s Stock Option Plan, to establish applicable rules and regulations applying to it and to make all other determinations it deems necessary or useful for the administration of the Stock Option Plan, provided that such interpretations, rules, regulations and determinations are consistent with the express provisions of the Stock Option Plan; rules of all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which the Company’s securities are then traded; and with all applicable securities legislation. Individuals eligible to participate under the Stock Option Plan will be determined by either the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercised at any time within a maximum period fixed at the date of their grant but not more than 5 years (the ‘‘Outside Expiry Date’’). The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, designates, at its discretion, the individuals to whom stock options are granted under the Stock Option Plan and determines the number of Common Shares covered by each of such options, the grant date, the exercise price of each option, the expiry date, the vesting schedule and any other matter relating thereto, in each case in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the regulatory authorities. To encourage retention and focus management on developing and successfully implementing the continuing growth strategy of the Company, stock options generally vest immediately but may vest over a specified period of months. The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, as the case may be, takes into account previous grants of options when considering new grants.

 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. C. BOARD PRACTICES.Election of Directors- The Directors of the Company are elected at each annual general meeting and hold office until the next annual general meeting. In the event or resignation of a sitting Director, the Board of Directors may act to appoint a replacement Director who shall serve until the next general meeting.

Our last annual general meeting was held on 12/16/11, at which then retiring incumbent Directors McAdoo, Garrison, and Yu were each re-elected and Director Rudman was newly elected. Each of our Directors holds office until the next annual general meeting of the Company, unless his office is earlier vacated under any of the relevant provisions of our articles or the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The Company is not aware of the identities of unregistered shareholders and beneficial owners of the shares held by nominee depositories CDS or CEDE. With the exception of Mr. Khan who purchased his shares through a private placement of equity in the Company during Fiscal 2012 in March 2012 and Mr. McAdoo who increased his shareholding in Fiscal 2012 by four million shares there have been no significant changes in Major Shareholders and no significant changes in the number of shares held by each Major Shareholder during the last three Fiscal Years.

Other Shareholders -Based on the following assumptions we estimate that the number of other shareholders of the Company, the amounts of shares each holds, and the geographic distribution of their residence as follows: 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 agent furnishes us a list of Registered Shareholders entitled to vote at our annual general meeting and we use this list to mail proxy and meeting information. 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 firm who uses 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 shareholders 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. Therefore we estimate that the number of shareholders of the Company, the amounts of shares held, and the geographic distribution of our Registered Shareholders, Unregistered Shareholders, and nominee depositories as shown in the following table: ESTIMATE OFNUMBER ANDDISTRIBUTION OFSHAREHOLDERSCanadianResidents

 The information about holdings of nominee depositories CEDE and CDS as deemed major shareholders shown in the preceding table is derived as at the 11/10/11 “Record Date” for the Company’s last annual general meeting. 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. 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. B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.During the fiscal year ended 6/30/12, management, director and officer fees in the amount of $247,500 were paid or accrued to directors and officers of the Company. At fiscal year-end 6/30/12, $87,750 was payable to officers of the Company relating to outstanding management fees and $27,926 was payable to an officer relating to cash advances made to the Company since 6/30/10. On 2/17/11 the Company received a $15,000 loan from a director in exchange for a promissory note. The loan is to accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum and was repayable on 5/17/11.

Directors- Our Articles have provisions related to conflicts of interests of directors in certain corporate transactions. A director or senior officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company proposes to enter into, must disclose such interest and is liable to account to the Company for any profit that accrues to the director or senior offer as a result of the transaction if the provisions for disclosure and director approval set out in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) are not complied with. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution approving the contract or transaction, unless all directors have an interest in the contract or transaction. A director with a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is entitled to be counted as part of the quorum for the directors’ meeting to consider the contract or transaction. Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), a director does not hold a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction merely because it relates to his/her compensation in his/her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company. Our Articles provide that our directors may, without shareholder approval, borrow money upon the credit of our Company, issue and sell bonds or debentures and provide guarantees. Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles set out a mandatory retirement age for our directors and our directors are not required to own securities of our Company in order to serve as directors. Authorized Capital-Our Notice of Articles provide that our authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. Our preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and our directors may fix the number of shares which is to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions-Pursuant to our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), holders of our common stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote, receive any dividend declared by our Company's board of directors and, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares, receive the remaining property of our Company upon dissolution. Shares of our preferred stock of each series rank on a parity with our share of preferred stock of any other series and are entitled to a preference over shares of our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company. The provisions in our Articles attaching to our common stock and our preference stock may be altered, amended, repealed, suspended or changed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 2/3s of the outstanding shares of common stock and 2/3s of the shares of preferred stock, as applicable. With the exception of special resolutions (i.e. resolutions in respect of fundamental changes to our Company, including: the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, an merger or other arrangement or an alteration to our Company's authorized capital) that require the approval of 2/3s of the votes cast by shareholders (holding common stock) entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy, resolutions to approve matters brought before a meeting of our shareholders require approval by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting, either in person or by proxy. Shareholder Meetings-The Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides that:(i) meetings of shareholders must be held in British Columbia, unless otherwise provided in a company's Articles; (ii) directors must call an annual general of shareholders not later than 15 months after the last preceding annual general and once in every calendar year;(iii) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or vote at meetings of shareholders, the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for that determination, provided that such date shall not precede by more than 50 days or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held; (iv) a quorum of shareholders for a shareholder meeting may be set by the Articles and the Company’s Articles provide that the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is two shareholders, or one or more proxy holder representing two members, or one member and proxy holder representing another member; (v) the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares entitled to vote at a meeting may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition; and (vii) upon the application of a director or shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may order a meeting to be called, held and conducted in a manner that the Court directs. Limitations on Rights of Non-Canadians-Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote our common stock under the laws of Canada or British Columbia or in our charter documents. See "Exchange Controls" below in this annual report for a discussion of the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadian residents proposing to acquire our common stock. Delay of Change of Control-Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), at each annual general meeting of our shareholders all of our directors retire and the shareholders appoint a new board of directors. Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting unless:(i) he dies or resigns; (ii) he is removed by ordinary resolution of our shareholders (or class or series of shareholders if such class or series has the exclusive right to elect one or more directors); or (iii) the director becomes disqualified to hold officer, as provided under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board holds office for the unexpired term of his predecessor (generally, until our next annual general meeting).With the exception of provisions in our Articles that limit the number of directors that can be appointed between annual meetings of shareholders and that give our directors the authority to issue blank check preferred stock, there are no provisions in our Notice of Articles or Articles that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving our Company. Reporting of Share Ownership-Neither our Notice of Articles or Articles contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. Securities legislation in Canada, however, requires that we disclose in our annual general meeting proxy statement, holders who beneficially own more than 10 percent of our issued and outstanding shares, and United States Federal securities laws require the disclosure in our annual report on Form-20F of holders who own more than five percent of our issued and outstanding shares.

The Investment Canada Act (the “Investment Act”), which generally prohibits a reviewable investment by an entity that is not a “Canadian”, as defined, unless after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. An investment in the Shares by a non-Canadian who is not a “WTO investor” (which includes governments of, or individuals who are nationals of, member states of the World Trade Organization and corporations and other entities which are controlled by them), at a time when the Company was not already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act under three circumstances. First, if it was an investment to acquire control (within the meaning of the Investment Act) and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was C$5 million or more. Second, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that the investment related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity (as prescribed under the Investment Act), regardless of asset value. Third, the investment would also be reviewable if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet of the Canadian government on the grounds that an investment by a non-Canadian could be injurious to national security. An investment in the Shares by a WTO investor, or by a non- Canadian at a time when the Company was already controlled by a WTO investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control and the value of the Company’s assets, as determined under Investment Act regulations, was not less than a specified amount, which for 2009 is C$312 million. The usual thresholds for review for direct acquisitions of Canadian businesses (other than acquisitions of cultural businesses) by foreign investors will change as of a date to be determined by the federal cabinet of the Canadian Government. At that time transactions will be reviewable only if the “enterprise value” of the assets of the Canadian business is equal to or greater than (a) C$600 million, in the case of investments made during the first two years after the amendments come into force; (b) C$800 million, in the case of investments made during the third and fourth years after the amendments come into force; and (c) C$1 billion, in the case of investments made between the fifth year after the amendments come into force and December 31 of the sixth year after the amendments come into force. This threshold will thereafter be adjusted on an annual basis. The Investment Act provides detailed rules to determine if there has been an acquisition of control. For example, a non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the Shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Company not controlled in fact by the acquirer. An acquisition of control for the purposes of the Investment Act could also occur as a result of the acquisition by a non-Canadian of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. E. TAXATION.Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations- The following summary discusses only the Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder (a "Holder") of one or more common shares of the Company who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") is a non-resident of Canada who holds common shares as capital property. The summary deals with the provisions of the Tax Act in force on 12/31/99.It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules. It is therefore not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances. Dividends- A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/83, 3/28/84, 3/17/95, and 7/29/97 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, is 5%.If the Holder is a company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder. Disposition of Common Shares- A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian property" as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada. A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include three quarters of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in Canada. The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct three-quarters of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.

United States Taxation- For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("US Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's common shares are capital assets in the hands of the US Taxpayer. For federal income tax purposes, a US Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares. A US Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability. A domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares. Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements. This is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company and no opinion or representation with respect to the US income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances. F.

PART-II ITEM-13 : DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES. The provision of information called for by this Item-13 is not applicable. ITEM-14 : MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS. The provision of information called for by this Item-14 is not applicable. ITEM-15 : CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. DISCLOSURECONTROLS ANDPROCEDURES.As required under applicable United States securities regulatory requirements, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures as at fiscal year-end 6/30/12 to prevent a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Finance Manager, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 6/30/12. MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of 6/30/12 based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of 6/30/12, based on those criteria. C. ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM-16 : [RESERVED] A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.Our Board of Directors has determined that we have one member of our Audit Committee that qualifies as an "Audit Committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. We believe that the members of our Board of Directors, who are the same members of our Audit Committee, are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Board of Directors has determined that Phillip B. Garrison and David Yu qualify as "independent" members of our Audit Committee as that term is defined in Rule 4350(d) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).We believe that having an Audit Committee that consists entirely of independent Directors is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated revenues to date. B. CODE OFETHICS.We have formally adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and our principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions (collectively our “Senior Financial Officers”).

      CONTINENTAL ENERGY CORPORATION (An Exploration Stage Company) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2012 Expressed in U.S. Dollars
     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 To the Shareholders of Continental Energy Corporation, We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Continental Energy Corporation, which comprise the statements of financial position as June 30, 2012, 2011 and July 1, 2010, and the statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Oversight Board. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence that we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Continental Energy Corporation as at June 30, 2012, 2011 and July 1, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Emphasis of Matter Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which describes certain conditions that give rise to substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

    Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  1.

   Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 Continental Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Continental”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s corporate office, registered address and records office is 800-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3H1. The primary business office is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. The consolidated financial of the Company are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. The Company trades its shares on the OTCQB. The Company's core business is oil and gas exploration via acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in South East Asia, particularly Indonesia. The Company is currently expanding its business into resource related renewable energy development, particularly geothermal and run-of-river hydropower also in South East Asia. The Company is an exploration stage company and none of its properties are currently generating revenue. The recovery of the Company’s investment in resource properties and attainment of profitable operations is principally dependent upon financing being arranged by the Company to continue operations, develop its existing resource properties and acquire new ones. The outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined because they are contingent on future events. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred operating losses over the past several fiscal years, has no current source of operating cash flow, and no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its oil and gas projects. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire, explore and develop future oil and gas properties as well as funding ongoing administration expenses by issuance of share capital or through joint ventures. Ultimately the Company must achieve future profitable production or realize proceeds from the disposition of oil and gas properties. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing from directors and officers and issuing common stock in private placements. There can be no assurance that management’s future financing actions will be successful. Management is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of improvements in the equity markets for raising capital for future acquisitions or expenditures. These uncertainties represent a liquidity risk and may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, liquidation accounting would apply and adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets, liabilities, the reported income and expenses and such adjustments could be material.

   Basis of Presentation and First Time Adoption of IFRS
 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after 1 January 2011. Accordingly, the Company has commenced reporting and these are the Company’s first annual financial statement in accordance with IFRS. The term “Canadian GAAP” refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of IFRS. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Subject to certain transition elections, the accounting policies have been consistently applied in the Company’s opening IFRS balance sheet as at 1 July 2010 and throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 18 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the statements of financial position, comprehensive loss and cash flows, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011. The policies applied in the consolidated financial statements are presented in Note 3. These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 10 September 2012.   3.

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated. a)

   Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
 The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Critical accounting estimates Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following: i)

   Impairment:The Company assess its investments, exploration and evaluation assets and equipment annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 assessments require the evaluation of events and conditions that indicate impairment in accordance with IAS 36. The Company has concluded that impairment conditions do not exist. ii)

   Promissory notes payable:The Company, from time to time, may grant convertible instruments as part of its financing and capital raising transactions. A compound financial instrument is a debt security with an embedded conversion option or attached warrants and requires the separate recognition of the liability and equity components. The fair value of the liability portion of the compound financial instrument is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent debt instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability and the remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option and attached warrants which are recognized in the conversion option reserves and share based payment reserves respectively. This makes assumptions as to the market value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature (Note 11). A change in the assumptions could result in modifications to the discount rate and could have a material impact on the effective interest rate of the instrument.iii)

   Share-based compensation:The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and forfeiture rates with the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.  iv)

   Warrant valuation:The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements and as compensation for debt financing arrangements. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate warrant exercises and forfeiture rates with the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a warrants, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original warrant. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s loss and comprehensive loss for the year.v)

   Recovery of deferred tax assets:Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. b)

   Foreign Currencies
 The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, the Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”). Any transactions in currencies other than the functional currency have been translated to the U.S. dollar in accordance with IAS 21. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at that rates of exchange prevailing on dates of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. The Company’s presentation currency is the US dollar. c)

   Loss per Share
 Basic loss per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. At 30 June 2012, the Company had no items which would have a dilutive effect on the loss per share. d)

   Interests in Joint Ventures
 A joint venture can take the form of a jointly controlled entity, jointly controlled operation or jointly controlled asset. All joint ventures involve a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control. A jointly controlled entity is an entity in which the Company shares joint control over the strategic, financial and operating decisions with one or more venture partners through the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity. A jointly controlled operation involves the use of the assets and resources of the venture partners rather than the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity. The operation incurs its own expenses and liabilities and raises its own finances. A jointly controlled asset involves joint control of one or more of the assets acquired or contributed for the purpose of the joint venture. Each venture partner takes on a share of the output from the assets and bears an agreed share of the expenses.

  3.

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 All joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of the joint venture are included in the consolidated financial statements. e)

   Share Based Payments
 The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The board of directors grants such options for periods of up to five years, with vesting periods determined at its sole discretion and at prices equal to or greater than the closing market price on the day preceding the date the options were granted. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee. The fair value of the share purchase options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share purchase options were granted. At each statement of financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share purchase options that are expected to vest. f)

   Valuation of Warrants
 The Company values warrants issued as part of a private placement unit by allocating the proceeds from the issue of units between common shares and common share purchase warrants on a pro-rata basis based on relative fair values as follows: the fair value of common shares is based on the market close on the date the units are issued; andthe fair value of the common share purchase warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in the share based payment reserve. g)

   Exploration and Evaluation Assets
 Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 assets within property, plant and equipment. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. h)

   Decommissioning Liabilities
 The Company provides for the costs of decommissioning associated with long-lived assets, including the abandonment of oil and natural gas wells, related facilities, compressors, gas plants, removal of equipment from leased acreage and returning such land in a condition as it is contractually obligated. The best estimate of each asset decommissioning liabilities is recorded in the period a well or related asset is drilled and evaluated, constructed or acquired. The decommissioning liabilities is measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at the fair value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Any further adjustment arising from a reassessment of estimated cost of the decommissioning liabilities also has a corresponding amount capitalized, whilst the charge arising from the accretion of the discount applied to the decommissioning liabilities is treated as a component of finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Management has not identified any legal or expected decommissioning liability as at 30 June 2012. i)

   Equipment
 Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write-off the cost of these assets, less residual value, over their estimated useful economic lives, for the following classes of assets: Automobiles – 50% declining balance basis;Computer equipment and software – 50% declining balance basis; andFurniture and field equipment – 50% declining balance basis. j)

   Impairment
 Financial assets At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. If such evidence exists, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as follows: (i)

   Financial assets carried at amortized cost: The loss is the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by this amount either directly or indirectly through the use of an allowance account.(ii)

   Available-for-sale financial assets: The impairment loss is the difference between the original cost of the asset and its fair value at the measurement date, less any impairment losses
      Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  3.

   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 previously recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. This amount represents the cumulative loss in accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified to the statement of comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost are reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments are not reversed. Non-financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its long lived assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGU's, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGU's for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets with a finite useful life, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. k)

   Financial Instruments
 Financial assets Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Financial assets are classified into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”);available for sale (“AFS”);held-to-maturity (“HTM”); andloans and receivables. The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial asset. (i) FVTPL financial assets Financial instruments are classified as FVTPL when the financial instrument is held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL. A financial instrument is classified as held for trading if: it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Company manages and has an actual pattern of short-term profit-making; orit is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. Financial instruments classified as FVTPL are stated at fair value with any resultant gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The Company has classified cash as FVTPL. (ii) AFS financial assets Investments held by the Company that are classified as AFS are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity in the investments revaluation reserve. When an investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period. The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is translated at the spot rate on the statement of financial position date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences due to a change in amortized cost of the asset is recognized in profit or loss, while all other changes are recognized in equity. The Company has classified its investments in Continental-GeoPetro (Bengara-II) Ltd. (“CGB2”) and TGE as AFS financial assets (Note 7). (iii) HTM financial assets Investments are recognized on a trade-date basis and are initially measured at fair value, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, the Company measures the assets at their fair value. The Company assesses its intention and ability to hold its held-to-maturity investments to maturity not only
     Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  3.
        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 when those financial assets are initially recognised, but also at the end of each subsequent reporting period. The Company has no HTM financial assets. (iv) Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at the transaction value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less impairment losses. The impairment loss of receivables is based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The Company has classified receivables as loans and receivables. (v) Effective interest method The effective interest method calculates the amortized cost of a financial asset and allocates interest income over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. (vi) Derecognition of financial assets A financial instrument is derecognized when: the contractual right to the asset’s cash flows expire; orif the Company transfers the financial instrument and all risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”); orother financial liabilities. The classification is determined at initial recognition and depends on the nature and purpose of the financial liability. (i) FVTPL financial liabilities This category comprises derivatives, or liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term. They are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss.

        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 (ii) Other financial liabilities These are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expenses over the corresponding period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments over the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
  The Company has classified accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable to related party, investment obligation, notes payable and convertible debt and interest payable thereon as other financial liabilities. (iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. l)
        Compound Financial Instruments
 Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible promissory notes that can be converted into fixed number of common shares of the Company. The liability component of the compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have any equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Should a compound financial instrument have more than one equity component, transaction costs are allocated to the equity components in proportion to their respective fair values. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. m)
        Income Taxes
 Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense. Income tax expense is recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years. Deferred taxes are recorded using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
     Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  3.
        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess. The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that do not affect accounting or taxable profit; andgoodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority. 4.
        Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or International Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows: a)
        IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. There are two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value through profit or loss.
 Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9; FVTPL and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non-derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard. In December 2011, the effective date of IFRS 9 was deferred to fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. b)
        IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC-12”), and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”), effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with early application permitted. IFRS 10
     Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  4.
        Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form. c)
        IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede existing IAS 31, Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”) effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with early application permitted. IFRS 11 provides for the accounting of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The Standard also eliminates the option to account for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.
  d)
        IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with earlier application permitted. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.
  e)
        IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. In addition, IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures about fair value measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard.
  f)
        IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The revision is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012 with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard.
  5.
        Capital Management
 The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its oil and gas properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and receivables.
     Continental Energy Corporation(An Exploration Stage Company)Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements30 June 2012Expressed in U.S. Dollars
  5.
        Capital Management (Continued)
 The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the year ended 30 June 2012. 6.

        Financial Instruments (Continued)
 Fair value of financial instruments Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1
        – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;Level 2
        – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; andLevel 3
        – inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 The Company’s classifications of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy are summarized below: 30 June

Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at 30 June 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $152,971 (30 June 2011 - $17,427; 1 July 2010 - $88,843) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $446,777 (30 June 2011 - $847,469; 1 July 2010 - $284,787).

 On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The amount bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum or at 15% per annum on default of payment, and matures on 22 September 2012. Interest is payable in quarterly installments. The promissory note principal is convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company. Any unpaid interest upon conversion is also convertible, at the option of the promissory note holder, at the same conversion rate as the promissory note. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) (Note 13)to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 22 September 2013. At 30 June, 2012 the Company was in default of the terms of the note as quarterly interest payments of the promissory note have not been made. The fair value of the liability and the equity component were calculated on issuance of the promissory note. The fair value of the liability component was calculated using an estimated market related interest rate of 18% and was determined to be $234,432. The residual amount of $14,760, net of transaction costs of $808, represents the value of the equity components included in shareholder’s equity as reserves. The transaction costs were allocated to the liability and equity components based on the value attributed to each component. The fair value of the 1,562,500 warrants granted as additional consideration and the fair value of the conversion option were calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: AdditionalConversion

 Also in conjunction with the convertible promissory note, the company issued 250,000 finders’ warrants (Note 13)to an arms-length third party, exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share up to 21 September 2013. The fair value of the finders’ warrants was estimated to be $12,975, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Finder’sWarrantsExpected dividend yield

 In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets other than deferred tax assets resulting from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that do not affect accounting or taxable profit, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

        Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards
 IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”) sets forth guidance for the initial adoption of IFRS. Under IFRS 1 the standards are applied retrospectively at the transitional statement of financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken to deficit unless certain exemptions are applied. The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated 1 July 2010: (i)
        IFRS 3 - Business Combinations
 IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and will apply IFRS 3 to business combinations that occur on or after 1 July 2010. (ii)
        IFRS 2–Share-based Payments
 IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments to equity instruments that were granted on or before 7 November 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to 7 November 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and 1 January 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that were granted prior to 7 November 2002 and vested before 1 July 2010. (iii)
        IFRS 6–Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources
 IFRS 1 provides specific relief in respect of oil and gas assets in that it states that on transition to IFRS, where an entity has applied full cost accounting under its previous GAAP, its oil and gas assets may be measured as follows: For exploration and evaluation assets, at the carrying value determined under Canadian GAAP; andFor assets in the development and production phases, at the amount determined for the cost center under Canadian GAAP allocated pro rata using reserves volumes or values at the transition date. The Company has chosen to apply the exemption and continue using the cost of its exploration and evaluation assets determined under Canadian GAAP. IFRS 1 also outlines specific guidelines that a first-time adopter must adhere to under certain circumstances. The Company has applied the following guidelines to its opening statement of financial position dated 1 July 2010: (i)
        Estimates
 In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there

  18.
        Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (Continued)
 is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of 1 July 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date. (ii)
        Reserves
 Under Canadian GAAP, amounts recorded in relation to the fair value of stock options granted and warrants issued for services were recorded to contributed surplus. Under IFRS, these amounts have been reclassified to the share-based payments reserve. IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. The adoption of IFRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of comprehensive loss and cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended 30 June 2011. There was also no material impact on the Company’s statement of equity as at 1 July 2010 and for the year ended 30 June 2011 as presented under Canadian GAAP.   19.

       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISFORM 51-102F1CONTINENTAL ENERGY CORPORATIONFor the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2012 The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the Company has been prepared as of September 10, 2012 and is intended to supplement and complement Continental Energy Corporation’s (“Continental” or “the Company”) audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2012 and the Company’s MD&A filings for the first three quarters ended March 31, 2012. All financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). All amounts disclosed are in United States dollars unless otherwise stated. NATURE OFBUSINESS Continental is an oil and gas exploration company engaged in the assembly of a portfolio of oil and gas exploration properties with high potential resource prospects. Continental is focusing its efforts in Southeast Asia where large tracts of acreage can be accumulated. There is a long and positive history of oil exploration success in the region and geological conditions are favorable for hydrocarbon accumulation. Continental owns an 18% participating interest in an Indonesian production sharing contract area covering 603,848 acres, the Bengara-II Block. Continental is an exploration stage company and none of its oil and gas properties currently generate revenue. The Company is currently expanding its business into resource related to renewable energy development, particularly geothermal and run-of-river hydropower also in Southeast Asia. HIGHLIGHTS OF THEFOURTHQUARTER The “Past Quarter” ended June 30, 2012 marks the end of the Fourth Quarter of the Company’s annual fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. Significant events having material effect on the business affairs of the Company which have occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 are summarized below: Investment in TGEOn May 9, 2012 the Company announced that it had purchased a 10% stake in Tawau Green Energy Sdn. Bhd. (“TGE”), a privately held company based in Kita Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. TGE is a geothermal energy developer which, on November 29, 2011, entered into a Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement with Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd. (“SESB”) to supply a capacity of 30 megawatts of electrical power to SESB’s East Coast Sabah power grid. SESB is a utility owned 80% by Tenaga Nasional Berhad, the federally owned electrical generation authority and utility of Malaysia and 20% by the State Government of Sabah. TGE is developing a volcano related geothermal resource known as “Apas Kiri” which is located in southern Sabah near the city of Tawau, approximately 100 miles north of the Company’s Bengara-II oil and gas PSC in Indonesia. TGE will build, own and operate the geothermal power plant and expects to construct it at an estimated total cost of US$133 million. TGE plans to commission the plant by the end of 2014 and, when completed, it will be Malaysia’s first power plant fired by a geothermal resource. The Company acquired 300,000 shares of TGE for the sum of $1,965,600, half of which, the Company is required to pay in 12 equal monthly installments before May 6, 2013, while the remaining half will be earned through the Company’s expenditures on a mutually agreed upon work program conducted at Apas Kiri site prior to May 6, 2013. If the Company decides not to complete the transaction during the prescribed period, the Company will be obligated to return the proportion of the 300,000 shares unpaid as at May 6, 2013. The Government of Malaysia has awarded a grant of approximately $11.5 million to TGE in a Facilitation Funds Agreement (“FFA”). Under the FFA, the grant funding will be disbursed by BPMB, a development bank owned by the Malaysian Government and mandated to provide medium to long term financing to capital intensive development and infrastructure projects. The proceeds of the grant are to be exclusively utilized by TGE to pay for costs associated with constructing access roads and making related infrastructure improvements involving the Apas Kiri Geothermal power development. As at June 30, 2012, the Company has already paid $81,850 and incurred expenditures amounting to $32,918 on the investment.
      Joint Venture AgreementIn a news release dated May 15, 2012 the Company announced that it had entered into a Joint Study and Bid Group Agreement with CBC Asia Development Corp. (“CBM Asia”). CBM Asia is a Canadian-listed coalbed methane (“CBM”) company focused solely on the Indonesian CBM industry and with interests in four CBM production sharing contracts (“PSC”) is pursuing new CBM opportunities in Indonesia. Under the agreement, the Company and CBM Asia will jointly and exclusively study selected areas in Indonesia with the objective of identifying geologically justified candidate areas to be jointly pursued as targets of opportunity for direct acquisition of CBM PSCs offered by the Indonesian government through public tenders or through direct proposal tenders conducted under joint study arrangements. Successful CBM PSC acquisitions shall be shared by Continental and CBM Asia under a pre-agreed joint operating agreement (“JOA”) format in the participating interest proportions of 75% for CBM Asia and 25% for the Company. CBM Asia shall act as operator under the JOA and any CBM PSC and shall pay 100% of the JOA’s CBM PSC general and administrative costs. All CBM PSC acquisition costs and other JOA exploration and drilling costs shall be borne by both parties in proportion to their respective JOA participating interests. No such costs have been incurred as of June 30, 2012.

 Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s exploration and financing activities. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favourable terms, the Company’s activity levels and the size and scope of planned exploration projects will increase. Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized exploration and evaluation assets. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized exploration and evaluation assets when exploration results indicate that no further work is warranted. The size and timing of these write-offs cannot typically be predicted and affect the Company’s quarterly results. The Company regularly reviews its oil and gas properties to determine whether or not a write-down or write-off of the capitalized exploration and evaluation assets is required. Non-cash costs such as share based payments expense and financing fees also affect the size of the Company’s quarterly loss.
      Operations Year ended June 30, 2012 Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the year ended June 30, 2012 of $1,846,559 compared to $1,893,765 in the year ended June 30, 2011. The Company had a loss per share of $0.02 in 2012 compared to a loss per share of $0.03 in 2011. General and administrative expenses decreased by $391,178 from $1,892,544 to $1,501,366 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The significant changes to general and administrative expenses are as follows: Most significantly, non-cash financing fees decreased from $1,115,458 to $160,994 as terms of fewer outstanding share purchase warrants were modified resulting in a lower incremental fair value charge during the year ended June 30, 2012. Management fees decreased from $282,724 to $172,184 as a result of the termination of an employment contract and the temporary suspension of the salary of an officer in the prior year. Office expenses decreased from $85,305 to $39,644 as a result of the sale of the Company’s inactive subsidiary, CEPL in the prior year and the wind up of the operations of the CGX joint venture. The decreases in the above costs were offset by an increase in share-based payments expense which increased from $140,953 to $692,182 as a result of additional option grants in the current year. Accretion expense increased from $nil to $47,380 as a result of accretion of the discounted liability balance of the convertible note issued by the Company during the year ended June 30, 2012. Travel and accommodation expense increased from $18,942 to $53,724 as a result of increased corporate travel related to securing the private placement which was completed in March as well as travel during negotiations for the TGE investment and the CBM Asia joint venture. Investor relations costs increased from $nil to $41,915 as a result of increased promotion of the Company during the period. The overall loss for the year also included the loss on settlement of debt of $368,000 and the gain on dissolution of CGX of $17,829. Three month period ended June 30, 2012 Overall, the Company had a loss from operations during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 of $208,463 (“Current Quarter”) compared to $186,529 in the three month period ended June 30, 2011 (“Comparative Quarter”). The Company had a loss per share of $0.00 in 2012 and $0.00 in 2011. General and administrative expenses increased by $85,152 from $122,355 to $207,509 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The primary reason for the difference is an increase in share-based payments expense and in investor relations costs which increased as a result of increased promotion of the Company in the Current Quarter. Accretion expense increased from $nil to $15,759 as a result of accretion of the discounted liability balance of the convertible note issued by the Company during the period ended June 30, 2012. Consulting expenses increased from $15,000 to $30,000 as a result of an increase in fees paid to a consultant during the Current Quarter. Professional fees increased from $17,979 to $31,864 as a result of increased legal fees related to the financing that was completed in the previous quarter and due diligence work related to the acquisition of TGE and the CBM Asia joint venture in addition to an increased audit fees for the year. The above increase was offset by a decrease in management fees resulting from the temporary suspension of the salary of an officer. During the Comparative Quarter, the Company also recorded a bad debt expense from the sale of its subsidiary and a gain on transfer of capital assets at no cost from its then 50% owned joint venture. These transactions were unique to the Comparative Quarter. Liquidity As at June 30, 2012, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect a working capital deficit of $277,815. As at June 30, 2011, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflected a working capital deficit of $821,559. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2012 totaled $628,375, compared with $100,901 in the prior year. As a result of the private placement that closed in the third quarter and receipt of proceeds of a convertible promissory note in the first quarter, the Company had significantly more cash resources with which to fund operations and retire obligations that were incurred in prior periods.Cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2012 was $125,251 whereas there were insignificant amounts expended on such activities during the year ended June 30, 2011. The significant cash
      outflow during the current year was primarily due to the Company’s option agreement related to its investment in TGE. Financing activities provided $889,170 from the proceeds of a private placement and convertible promissory note (total of $1,000,000). These receipts were offset by the payments on the Company’s promissory notes with interest of $110,830. In the prior comparative period, $30,000 was received as proceeds of promissory notes from related parties. Capital Resources The Company has no operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable oil and gas deposits and the Company’s success in the renewable energy sector. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control. In order to finance the Company’s exploration programs and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for oil and gas exploration investment, the Company’s track record and the experience and caliber of its management. With a working capital deficit of $277,815 as at June 30, 2012 and additional anticipated cost commitments, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative, corporate development and exploration activities over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital. Risks and Uncertainties The Company has no history of profitable operations and its present business is at an early stage. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations. The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of its projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its properties and other ventures. The continued degradation of the market conditions for the financing of equity and/or debt for oil and gas exploration and development companies has created additional uncertainty for future financing of the acquisition or development of the Company’s projects. The Company’s property interests are located in remote, undeveloped areas and the availability of infrastructure such as surface access, skilled labor, fuel and power at an economic cost, cannot be assured. These are integral requirements for exploration, development and production facilities on oil and gas properties. Power may need to be generated on site. Oil and gas exploration is a speculative venture. There is no certainty that the money spent on exploration and development will result in the discovery of an economic oil or gas accumulation. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial accumulations of oil or gas. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be related to the success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company. The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. The Company competes with many other oil and gas exploration companies who have greater financial resources and technical capacity. The market price of energy is volatile and cannot be controlled.
      The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company. Segment Information The Company’s business consists of only one reportable segment, namely exploration and evaluation of oil and gas properties.

The following policies are considered by management to be essential for understanding the processes and reasoning that go into the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the uncertainties that could have a bearing on its financial results: a)

   Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
 The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods. Critical accounting estimates Significant assumptions relate to, but are not limited to, the following: i)

   Impairment:The Company assess its investments, exploration and evaluation assets and equipment annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is considered to be the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These assessments require the evaluation of events and conditions that indicate impairment in accordance with IAS 36. The Company has concluded that impairment conditions do not exist.ii)

   Promissory notes payable:The Company, from time to time, may grant convertible instruments as part of its financing and capital raising transactions. A compound financial instrument is a debt security with an embedded conversion option or attached warrants and requires the separate recognition of the liability and equity components. The fair value of the liability portion of the compound financial instrument is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent debt instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability and the remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option and attached warrants which are recognized
      in the conversion option reserves and share based payment reserves respectively. This makes assumptions as to the market value of the debt instrument without the conversion feature (Note 11). A change in the assumptions could result in modifications to the discount rate and could have a material impact on the effective interest rate of the instrument. iii)

   Share-based compensation:The Company provides compensation benefits to its employees, directors and officers through a stock option plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and forfeiture rates with the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a options, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original option. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year.iv)

   Warrant valuation:The Company grants warrants in conjunction with private placements and as compensation for debt financing arrangements. The fair value of each warrant granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The Company uses historical data to estimate warrant exercises and forfeiture rates with the valuation model. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the warrant is based yields of government bonds. Changes in these assumptions, especially the volatility and the expected life determination could have a material impact on the Company’s comprehensive loss for the year. When the Company determines it necessary to modify the terms of a warrants, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized at the date of the modification and uses the modified terms in order to calculate the incremental change in value of the original warrant. The use of option-pricing model and a change in assumptions used within the model could result in a material impact on the Company’s loss and comprehensive loss for the year.v)

   Recovery of deferred tax assets:Judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. b)

   Exploration and Evaluation Assets
 Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses, costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity, and the fair value (at acquisition date) of exploration and evaluation assets acquired in a business combination. Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognized in profit or loss. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest. Accounting Policies – Significant Changes in Accounting Standards   a)

   International Financial Reporting Standards On July 1, 2011, Continental implemented IFRS as its financial reporting framework with a transition date of July 1, 2010. The transition required the Company to restate its 2010 financial results, which were previously prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The policies applied have been done so on a full retrospective basis unless alternative treatment is permitted or required by an IFRS 1 election or exception.
      While many of the accounting principles and standards comprising IFRS are similar to Canadian GAAP, certain standards result in financial reporting differences that render financial results under Canadian GAAP and IFRS not comparable. The notes to the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012 describe the financial reporting differences identified and applied to restate the 2010 financial results in accordance with IFRS. b)

   Future Accounting Changes
 Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) or International Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Standards impacted that are applicable to the Company are as follows: a)

   IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) was issued by IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. There are two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All equity instruments are measured at fair value. A debt instrument is at amortized cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent principal and interest. Otherwise it is at fair value through profit or loss.Two measurement categories continue to exist to account for financial liabilities in IFRS 9; FVTPL and amortized cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied. The treatment of embedded derivatives under the new standard is consistent with IAS 39 and is applied to financial liabilities and non- derivative hosts not within the scope of the standard.In December 2011, the effective date of IFRS 9 was deferred to fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.b)

   IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC-12”), and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”), effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as a determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard also provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.c)

   IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”), was issued in May 2011 and will supersede existing IAS 31, Joint Ventures (“IAS 31”) effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. IFRS 11 provides for the accounting of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as is currently the case). The Standard also eliminates the option to account for jointly controlled entities using the proportionate consolidation method. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.d)

   IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”), was issued in May 2011 and is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted. The Standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company in its current form.e)

   IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”) was issued in May 2011 and sets out, in a single IFRS, a framework for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. In addition, IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures about fair value measurement. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard.
      f)

   IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) (“IAS 1”), was revised in June 2011 to change the disclosure of items presented in OCI, including a requirement to separate items presented in OCI into two groups based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. The revision is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 with early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this Standard.

 Fair value of financial instruments Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1

   –

   unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;Level 2

   –

   inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; andLevel 3

   –

   inputs that are not based on observable market data.
 The Company’s classifications of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy are summarized below: June 30

 At June 30, 2012, with other variables unchanged, a +/- 10% change in exchange rates would decrease/increase the pre-tax loss by $181,184. b)

   Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.The Company’s cash is held by reputable financial institutions. Receivables consist of goods and services taxes due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to receivables is remote.c)

   Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to maintain sufficient capital to meet short term obligations. As at June 30, 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $152,971 (June 30, 2011 - $17,427; July 1, 2010 - $88,843) which is not sufficient to settle current liabilities of $446,777 (June 30, 2011 - $847,469; July 1, 2010 - $284,787). Management is currently working on obtaining financing to meet these obligations.d)

   Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has a positive cash balance and its debt bears
      interest at fixed rates. The Company has no significant concentrations of interest rate risk arising from operations. e)

   Commodity price riskCommodity price risk if the risk of possible future changes in the commodity prices. The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration and evaluation activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company. Capital Management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its oil and gas properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and accounts receivable. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during the year ended June 30, 2012.
