that a party must drill a well to a certain depth, at a specified location, within a certain time frame; furthermore, typically,
the well must be completed as a commercial producer to earn an assignment of the working interest. The assignor of the interest
usually reserves a specified overriding royalty interest, with the option to convert the overriding royalty interest to a specified
working interest upon payout of drilling and production expenses.

|GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
    OF THE BUSINESS
|---------------------------------------



Three-Year History



We are developing a vertically integrated
energy company operating in Papua New Guinea and the surrounding Southwest Pacific region. The following is a summary of significant
events in the development of our businesses and corporate activities over the past three years.



Upstream – Exploration
and Production



Our upstream business segment has focused
on the drilling program in the Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields. This has led to natural gas and natural gas liquids discoveries
in those fields beginning in 2006. We continue to evaluate the size and structure of the Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields
by drilling additional appraisal wells. Our ability to commercialize these discoveries will depend, in part, on the results of
these appraisals. In addition, as there is no market for natural gas within Papua New Guinea, our ability to sell natural gas
production from our discoveries will depend upon the development of the LNG Project. This project will require substantial amounts
of capital and will take a number of years to complete. As discussed below, we are evaluating the construction of the LNG Project
on the coast of the Gulf Province and the Condensate Stripping Project within the boundaries of PRL 15. We are also exploring
the sale of a portion of the ownership in the LNG Project and the Elk and Antelope fields to industry investors in order to finance
and develop the LNG Project.



Set forth below is
the history of the upstream activities we have
conducted over the past few years:



Elk Field



The
Elk-1 well in the Eastern Papua Basin, on PPL 238, was an exploration well that spudded on February 19, 2006 to test a fractured
limestone target on the Elk structure. It encountered highly pressured gas from a fracture system around 1,694 meters and was
completed as a potential producer on November 23, 2006 at a total depth of 1,983 meters.



We spudded
the Elk-2 well on February 9, 2007. The Elk-2 well is located approximately 4.7 kilometers north of the Elk-1 location. The Elk-2
well was the first appraisal well we drilled to help us delineate the extent of the Elk structure. Elk-2 was drilled to a depth
of 3,329 meters. Eight drill stem tests were performed, but none resulted in commercial flows of oil or gas.



We spudded
the Elk-4 well on November 15, 2007. This well tested the Elk and Antelope structures and is located 0.9 miles (1.5 kilometers)
south of Elk-1. Although this was our third Elk well, it was named Elk-4, as the Elk-3 designation had been reserved for the planned
side track of Elk-2, which had been deferred. The Elk-4/4A well was spudded in November 2007. On May 1, 2008, while drilling at
7,402 feet (2,256 meters) the well experienced a gas kick, which resulted in a flow of natural gas and natural gas liquids to
the surface and a discovery in the Antelope structure. The well was completed with 4 1/2 inch tubing as a potential producer and
completion work ended on August 31, 2008. On September 4, 2008, the well recorded a short-term gas flow rate of 105 mmcfpd.



In
August 2012, Rig 3 was mobilized to the Elk-3 drilling location. With access roads from both the north and the south and a central
upstream development camp in place, we are set to begin drilling the second of two obligation wells in PRL 15. The objective of
the Elk-3 delineation well is to test the Early Miocene to Late Oligocene limestone section above the gas water contact in the
Elk fault block.



Antelope Field



The
Antelope-1 well was spudded on October 15, 2008. On December 31, 2008 gas was encountered at 1,748 meters in a limestone/dolomite
reservoir which was flowed to surface. The well was drilled to 2,710 meters, was logged and subsequent drill stem tests were performed.
The well was then completed as a potential producer with 7- inch tubing and flow tested at 382 mmcfpd.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   10







In October
2008, Petromin, a government entity mandated to invest in resource projects on behalf of the State, entered into an agreement
with usto take a direct interest in the Elk and Antelope fields and fund 20.5% of the costs ofits
development, subject to a PDL being granted within a certain timeframe.At the end of 2011, we agreed with Petromin
that the agreement we entered into in 2008 was no longer valid or intended to operate and should terminate. Petromin remains the
State’s nominee to acquire this interest under relevant Papua New Guinean’s legislation, once a PDL is granted. We
have proposed to Petromin that cash contributions made by Petromin under the agreement to fund development, amounting to approximately
$15.4 million, be held and credited against the State’s obligation to refund its portion of such costs upon grant of the
PDL. We have not yet finalized an agreement with Petromin on these points.



On
July 27, 2009 the Antelope-2 well, located approximately 4 kilometers south of the Antelope-1 well and within the boundaries of
PPL 237, was spudded. After drilling to 1,832 meters, a 9 5/8-inch liner was set at the top of the limestone section. The well
was drilled to 2,260 meters, temporarily completed with 7-inch tubing and a high-rate flow testto confirm deliverability was performed in early December 2009.This flow test recorded amaximumflow rate of 705 mmcfpd, including11,200 bbls of condensate per day. Subsequent to this flow test, the
7-inch tubing was removed and a 7-inch liner was run. A 6 1⁄4-inch hole was then drilled to 2,325 meters and DST #2
was performed. This DST confirmed gas and condensate with a stabilized GCRof over 20 bbl/mmcf. The well was
then drilled to 2,365 meters and DST #3
was carried out over the interval 2,320 metersto 2,365 meters. The result of
DST #3, along with the data acquired
during the logging operations, helped us to establish
the hydrocarbon water contact in the reservoir at approximately 2,224 meters.



In September
2009, a 100 kilometer 2-D seismic program to appraise the Antelope field was commenced and recording of seismic data was completed.
This data has been processed and interpreted.



During
the third quarter of 2009, Pac LNG acquired a 2.5% direct working interest in gas and condensate in the Elk and Antelope fields
for $25.0 million, pursuant to an option granted to it in 2007. As
part of the transaction, Pac LNG was required to pay us its 2.5% share of certain historical exploration costs and transfer to
us 2.5% of its ultimate economic interest in PNG LNG, the joint venture company with which we are pursuing the LNG Project with
Pac LNG. Subsequent to the grant of PRL 15 over the Elk and
Antelope fields, an application for the transfer of a 2.5% interest in that license to Pac LNG was submitted to the DPE,
and was approved in December 2011.



To
further enhance our ability to explore on our licenses a second drilling rigwas acquired on February 9, 2010, for approximately $4.5 million,with additional costs incurred for the inspection, packaging and transport
of the rig to Papua New Guinea.



During
2010, we completed drilling and logging activities on the Antelope-2 well, having drilled a further horizontal section in order
to test the CGR in the deeper section of the reservoir. Various DSTs were performed DST #7 producing a stabilized CGR of 24.0
to 27.7 barrels of condensate per million cubic feet of natural gas. A total of 1,596 meters of horizontal drilling was performed
from the original vertical well and these two sections improved our knowledge of the deeper portion of the Antelope reservoir.
Subsequently, this well was completed as a potential producer.



On November 30, 2010, we were granted
PRL 15, covering blocks within andsurrounding the Elk and Antelope fields, unifying thesefields into a single license separate from our exploration acreage andspecifying minimum work commitment activities over the next five years.



Rig
release from the Triceratops-2 well was received from the State on August 13, 2012. Demobilization of Rig 2 began immediately
for its relocation to the Antelope-3 well location. The Antelope-3 well was spudded on September 30, 2012. In November 2011,the Antelope-3 appraisal well in PRL15 penetrated the top of the reservoir. DST #1 in the
Antelope-3 well evidenced natural gas and condensate with a maximum gas flow rate of 44.8 million cubic feet of natural gas per
day, 10.4 to 14.9 barrels of condensate per million cubic feet, and a flowing tubing pressure of 2,331 psi. The Antelope-3 well
was drilled to 5,905.8 feet (1,800 meters). The analyzed gas composition was similar to the Antleope-1 and Antelope-2 wells. We
believe that the Antelope-3 well drilling analysis confirms the continuity of a highly productive reservoir into which the Antelope-1
and Antelope-2 wells had already been drilled.



Triceratops Field



Afterthe interpretation of the Triceratops
field seismic data, a review of the field was completed. Following
that, the conclusion wasreached
that the Triceratops-1 well lies in the same zone, the same pool and the same field as the Bwata -1 well,which was drilledby
another company over 40 years ago. To
commemorate these three aspects, the field was namedthe Triceratops field.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   11







The Triceratops-2 appraisalwell was spudded on January 15, 2012.
Following successful flow from a DST of 27 mmcfd on June6, 2012, the Triceratops-2 well was declared a discoveryby the State. Between June 14, 2012 and August 13, 2012, the well was cased, and cased-hole
logging and testing was completed. A number of rotary side wall cores were also taken, which were still undergoing
petrophysical analysis, routine core analysis and special core analysis subsequent
to year endto help determine the hydrocarbon saturation in the reservoir, which is an important input into resource
estimates. In August 2012, we suspended the Triceratops-2
well as a discovery, for recompletion at a later date as a future production well, and began the process of moving the drilling
rig to the Antelope-3 well location.



Completion of vertical seismic profile
processing of the Triceratops field provided a confident wellto-seismic
tie, and remapping of this seismic data has commenced. Triceratops seismic data indicates that there is a large “attic”
in terms of height and areal extent to the south, west and northwest of the Triceratops-2 well, which will be our focus during
forward seismic acquisition and well programs on this field. Planning of new seismic studies and drilling locations are in progress,
and will be finalized once the remapping is complete.



On April
18, 2012, we signed a binding HOA with PRE which allows PRE to earn a 10.0% net (12.9% gross) participating interest in PPL 237,
including the Triceratops field located within that license. On July 27, 2012, we executed a farm-in agreement with PRE relating
to the Triceratops field and the participating interest in the PPL 237 license, which was materially in line with the HOA. Pac
LNG is also participating on a 25% beneficial equity basis in the portion of the farm-in transaction relating to the Triceratops
field (2.5% net and 3.2% gross participating interest).



Other Fields and Facilities,
Exploration Activities



The divestment of a 15% non-operated interest
in PPL 244 to Oil Search(PNG) Ltd was approved by the State and finalized in October 2010.



The
PPL 236 phase 1 exploratory seismic data acquisition program, which included 70 kilometers with six dip lines transecting the
Whale, Tuna, Barracuda, Wahoo, Mako and Shark prospects, was completed during the first quarter of 2011. Based upon our processing
and interpretation of seismic data, the Wahoo/Mako leads (PPL 236) and the Tuna lead (PPLs 236 and 238) have been selected as
prospects for future exploratory drilling.



Wells in both PPL 236 and PPL 238 are
required to be drilled by March 2013 in order to meet our license commitments. During November 2012, we lodged an application
for variation to extend the term of our Licenses and to defer our drilling commitmentswith
the DPE. As at February 27, 2013 no decision had been advised with respect to our applications for variation.



Seismic
data acquisition and interpretation programs have been designed with a view to determining, amongst other things, the proposed
location of these wells. Our Tuna and Wahoo/Mako prospects, targeting seismically defined reefal indications in PPLs 236 and 238,
have matured to the drill-ready stage, and preparations to access to the proposed drilling locations are underway.



Our
Hou Creek northern wharf and field access roadway are progressing to completion, and a permanent camp location is under construction.
The Hou Creek wharf and crane are functioning and ready to accept materials and equipment. We have also completed the upstream
field development camp near the Antelope-3 well site and drilling crews are utilizing those accommodations.



PPL236 seismic comprised an initial regional
survey over a number of potential leads including Whale, Shark, Mako, Wahoo, Tuna and Barracuda. The following two phases of seismic,
the Kwalaha program, focused on the high graded Wahoo/Mako and Tuna Prospects selected due to the recognition of potential reefal
facies on the seismic.

In 2011, we acquired an airborne magnetic,
gravity and gamma ray survey over PPL 236, PPL 237 and PPL 238. A total of five acquisition blocks were acquired with a combined
a total of 1,428,876 line kilometers of airborne data. Data processing of this airborne data was completed and the data received
in early 2012.



Condensate Stripping Project



In the first quarter of 2010, the pre-FEED
phase for the development of Condensate Stripping Project was completed, and on April
15, 2010 we entered into a preliminary works joint venture and a preliminary works financing agreement with Mitsui to commence
FEED work.



On August 4, 2010, we entered into a definitive
CSP JV (see “Material Contracts”) for the Condensate Stripping Project
with Mitsui. Under the CSP JV, Mitsui is responsible for arranging or providing financing for the capital costs of the
Condensate StrippingProject in the event that a positive FID is made in respect
of the Condensate Stripping Project. An option deed was also executed with Mitsui,under which Mitsui was granted an option to acquire up to 5% of the Elk and Antelope fields, and in the
LNG Project. Mitsui paid $6.3 million in exchange for this option, with such amount to be refunded in the event that positive
FID is not reached by the agreed upon date and the option is not exercised. An adjustment is to be made against the final acquisition
price in the event the option is exercised.



During 2011, the FEED work was carried
out. The FEED phase generated deliverables to technically and commercially define the project and prepare it for execution (detailed
engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication, commissioning, and hand-over to operations) and proposals were solicited
from potential EPC contractors. We are continuing the planning and preparation efforts for execution of the Condensate
Stripping Project, which efforts include detailed project execution plan, execution schedule and risk assessment work.



At the end of 2012, we reached an
agreement with Mitsui to provide for flexibility in nominating a date for FID. We can provide no assurance that we will reach
FID or at all, that there will be further extensions or that we will enter into unconditional or definitive agreements with Mitsui.



Midstream – Refining
segment



Over the three year period ended December
2012, our refining business unit has continued to process low sulphur crudes through the CDU at a rate sufficient to meet domestic
PNG demand for middle distillate products (diesel & jet fuel) supplied from the refinery, with occasional exports of ships
bunkers. The Naphtha and LSWR that is consequentially produced has been exported into the regional market via spot and term contracts,
although small amounts of LSWR are sold domestically in PNG.



For operational reasons, the CRU was only
in service for a four-month period of April through July of 2012. Prior to this, it had operated generally on a batch processing
basis to meet domestic PNG demand for gasoline. It is anticipated that the CRU will be re-commissioned returned to service during
the second quarter of 2013, following the successful installation of the new catalyst.



If, for operational reasons, we are unable
to satisfy demand from refinery production we import finished products. Due to the continued shutdown of the CRU during most of
2012, the majority of gasoline we have sold during the period has been imported. Other than imports resulting from these scheduled
events, our imports of middle distillates have been minimal and have not significantly affected our crude throughput.



We continue to source our crude through
a supply agreement with BP. Under this agreement, we negotiate directly with crude producers and sellers for the purchase of crude.
However, the purchases are completed under our arrangements with BP and the subsequent shipments employ BP’s shipping infrastructure.
There has been a natural decline in production of some of our preferred crude feedstock over the past three years and diversification
of our crude feedstock has been an important part of our crude acquisition strategy. We have introduced several new feedstocks
to the refinery over the past three years, including our first West African crude and other Malaysian crudes. During 2011, we
also concluded certain term purchase agreements for some of our preferred crudes for the 2012 year. In 2013, we will retain only
one term agreement for crude. All other crudes will be purchased on a spot basis for the year.

While regional hydro skimming margins
have suffered, particularly in 2011, our IPP for products sold domestically affords us some protection from the low industry margins.
Conversely, the IPP serves to restrict increases to our margin when margins are otherwise subject to upwards pressure. The IPP
price formula has remained unchanged throughout the three year period, however, the changes agreed in late 2007 and early 2008
still remain to be formalized in our Refinery Project Agreement. (See “Material Contracts – Refinery Project Agreement”,
and see “Risk Factors – There is uncertainty associated with the regulated prices of which our products are sold by
our refinery”).



In 2010, our sales of middle distillates
increased by 7% over 2009, then again in 2011 by a further 8% over 2010 volumes. In 2012, the trend has continued with an increase
in sales of middle distillates of 12%. These increases are primarily due to increased demand driven by resources projects in PNG.
These increases have occurred in an environment where there has been continued importation of refined products by certain industry
participants which we believe is contrary to our agreement with the State (see “Material Contracts – Refinery Project
Agreement”, and see “Risk factors – Our downstream competitors have progressively increased
their direct importation of refined petroleum products rather than sourcing from the refinery”).



During 2012, we exported nine cargoes
of Naphtha averaging approximately 29,806 metric tons each for a total of approximately 268,000 tonnes or 2.4 million bbls. The
production of Naphtha at the refinery is variable and depends on the composition of the crude feedstock used, the relative economics
for gasoline and Naphtha, and our ability (hampered during 2011 and 2012 by our inability to operate the CRU for extended periods)
to utilise Naphtha in the production of gasoline. Also during 2012, we exported five cargoes of LSWR totaling approximately 810,142
bbls under a combination of both spot and term arrangements that will continue into 2013. We made three export sales of diesel
and gasoline to Nauru in 2010 and no export sales of diesel or gasoline in 2011 or 2012 except for small bunker sales.



During 2012, our total throughput per
day (excluding shut down days) was 24,483 bblspd versus 24,856 bblspd in 2011 and 24,682 bblspd in 2010. The total number of barrels
processed into product at our refinery for 2012 was 7.426 million compared with 6.73 million for 2011, and 6.71 million in 2010.
During 2012, our refinery was shut down for a total of 51 days, versus 82 days in 2011 and 81 days in 2010.



During 2011, management received results
of an independent assessment of the potential asset retirement obligations of the refinery at the time of decommissioning and
a provision for $4,100,735 was initially recognized for this. The provision as at December 31, 2012 was $4,978,334. This decommissioning
provision represents the net present value of the estimated costs of future dismantlement, site restoration and abandonment of
properties based upon current regulations and economic circumstances as at December 31, 2012.



Midstream – Liquefaction
segment



On September 28, 2010, we, together with
LNGL, signed a heads of agreement with EWC in relation to a proposal to construct a modular land-based LNG plant in the Gulf Province
of Papua New Guinea. On February 2, 2011, the parties signed certain initial and conditional agreements (a project funding and
construction agreement and a shareholders agreement) governing the parameters in respect of the aforementioned proposed development.
The agreements with EWC contemplate the negotiation of further definitive agreements and are conditional on, amongst other things,
reaching FID to proceed with the LNG Project by March 31, 2012, which date was subsequently revised to June 30, 2013. We can provide
no assurances that we will reach FID by this date or at all, that this date will not be further extended or that we will enter
into unconditional or other definitive agreements with EWC.



On April 11, 2011, we and Pac LNG entered
into certain conditional framework agreements with FLEX LNG and Samsung Heavy Industries for the proposed construction of a 1.8
mtpa or 2 mtpa fixed-floating liquefied natural gas vessel. Such a vessel was expected to integrate with and augment the land-based
modules to be developed with EWC. The framework agreements provided that the parties were to undertake project specific FEED work
and negotiate final binding agreements in time for a FID decision in mid-December 2011. Project specific FEED work was carried
out. However, as FID was not reached by mid-December 2011, these framework agreements with FLEX LNG and Samsung lapsed and were
not extended.



Additionally, under the framework agreement
we entered into with FLEX LNG, an equity purchase option was granted to us to acquire common shares in FLEX LNG at an average
strike price of 4.5909 Norwegian Kroner. On May 16, 2011, this option was exercised, and we acquired 8,938,913 common shares of
FLEX LNG at a cost of $7.5 million.

During 2011, site-specific engineering
for the proposed land based modular LNG plant and the fixed-floating LNG facility were undertaken along with other pre-investment
in the LNG Project with the goal of lowering bidder risks and securing our LNG Project timeline and costs.



In September 2011, we retained Morgan
Stanley & Co.LLC, Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. and UBS AG as joint financial advisors to assist us with soliciting and evaluating
proposals from potential strategic partners. Proposals are being solicited to obtain an internationally recognized LNG operating
and equity partner for development of the LNG Project’s gas liquefaction and associated facilities in the Gulf Province
of Papua New Guinea, which may include a sale of an interest in the Elk and Antelope fields, and in our other exploration tenements
in Papua New Guinea. We have made significant progress with pre-FEED
and FEED engineering studies, construction of roads and camps, social mapping and genealogical studies, which will assist in the
final partnering and project execution.



Subsequent
to year end, on January 24, 2013, we announced that we have advised bidders with whom we have been in discussions that the final
binding bid solicitation period for the partnering process currently being undertaken will close on February 28, 2013. Our Board
of Directors intends to meet our advisors during March 2013 for the purpose of evaluating bids received and selecting our partner(s)
for the development of the LNG Project utilizing gas from the Elk and Antelope fields. We can provide no assurance that we will
enter into an agreement with a strategic partner or the timing of any such agreement.



On August 3, 2011, we signed a HOA with
Noble Clean Fuels Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Noble Group Limited, for the supply of one mtpa of LNG per annum from
the LNG Project for a ten year period beginning in 2014. Definitive, binding agreements are currently being negotiated. We can
provide no assurances that we will finalize and enter into such agreements.



In addition, on November 25, 2011, a HOA
was signed with Gunvor Singapore Pte. Ltd for the sale of an additional one mtpa of LNG from the LNG Project. On December 2, 2011,
a further HOA was signed with ENN Energy Trading Company Ltd of China, for the sale of one to one and one half mtpa of LNG from
the LNG Project. The HOA, while not binding, provides exclusivity on the LNG volumes, during negotiation of the definitive agreement,
and sets out the basis upon which the parties intend to negotiate and document terms for the purchase and sale of LNG, for a period
of 15 years, commencing in 2015. We can provide no assurances that we will finalize and enter into such agreements.



During 2012, we continued to progress
the development of our LNG Project by completing FEED for our proposed field gathering system, CSP and pipeline to the LNG Project
site on the coast.



On November
16, 2012, we were notified by the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea Hon. Peter O’Neill that the NEC had conditionally approved
our LNG development project in the Gulf Province. This decision clears the way to proceed with our plans for the development of
an LNG plant in the Gulf Province with initial planned output of a minimum of 3.8 million tonnes per annum. The decision also
approves an option for the State to acquire an additional 27.5% interest in the Elk and Antelope gas fields, over and above the
22.5% interest to which it is entitled under the Oil & Gas Act, on terms to be negotiated with us. The NEC further approved
the establishment of a State negotiating team to discuss and agree to the necessary amendments to the 2009 LNG Project Agreement
between the State and Liquid Niugini Gas Limited, to give effect to the NEC decision, and to agree on the terms on which the State
could acquire the additional interest. The NEC decision confirms that the basis of the acquisition will be on commercial market
terms. The NEC decision also includes as a condition of its approval that the LNG plant operator must be an internationally recognized
operator of the planned LNG facilities.



Downstream – Wholesale
and Retail Distribution



As of December 31, 2012, we provided petroleum
products to 53 retail service stations with 43 operating under the InterOil brand name and the remaining 10 operating under their
own independent brand. Of the 53 service stations that we supply, 16 are either owned by or head leased to us, which we then sublease
to company-approved operators. The remaining 37 service stations are independently owned and operated. In the last quarter of
2012, we took over a company owned site and commenced operating this service station. Three new retail sites have been identified
and we expect to develop these sites during 2013 and 2014. We supply products to each of these service stations pursuant to distribution
supply agreements. We also provide fuel pumps and related infrastructure to the operators of the majority of these retail service
stations that are not owned or leased by us under cover of equipment loan agreement.

During 2010, a second vessel was directly
chartered and we now directly manage all our sea freight movements of fuel within Papua New Guinea. In 2011, shipping was centralized
under a corporate shipping entity and this is now managed separately from the Downstream operations. In 2012, corporate shipping
chartered a replacement larger vessel due to increased demand and we are again contemplating chartering a larger vessel in 2013.



In November 2010, the ICCC completed its
review of the pricing arrangements for petroleum products in PNG. The purpose of the review was to consider the extent to which
the existing regulation of price setting arrangements at both wholesale and retail levels should continue, or be revised for the
five year period ending at the end of 2014. The report recommended an increase in margins for wholesaling and certain other activities
while the retail margin is to remain the same as well as some increases in monitoring industry activity in PNG. All recommendations
were implemented in 2011.



During 2012 fiscal year, we renewed our
supply agreements with several key customers in the aviation industry for further three year periods.



Our retail business accounted for approximately
15% of our total downstream sales volumes in 2012, as compared to 13% over the same period in 2011. Investments were made in the
last three years in new electronic systems for both pumps and the forecourt control units to support the further development of
this business.



Financing



In 2010, we undertook the following financing
transactions:

UPSTREAM
- EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION



As at December 31, 2012, we had gross
interests in three PPLs and one PRL in Papua New Guinea covering 3,996,453 gross acres (3,030,720 net acres), all of which were
operated by us. PPLs 236, 237 and 238 and PRL 15 are located onshore in the Eastern Papuan Basin, northwest of Port Moresby.



On November 30, 2010, we were granted
PRL 15, covering a total of nine graticular blocks including and surrounding the Elk and Antelope fields and extracted from PPLs
237 and 238. This PRL unifies the Elk and Antelope fields into a single license and separates the fields from our exploration
acreage. The PRL has a separate minimum work program and expenditure commitment and is valid for five years to November 30, 2015.



In order
to develop and commercialize the Elk and Antelope fields in PRL 15, we are obligated to apply for and obtain a Petroleum Development
License covering the acreage surrounding the fields and on which to locate facilities and pipeline rights of way. PRL 15 allows
us to evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of condensate and/or gas production from the Elk and Antelope fields,
pending development and submission of an application for a Petroleum Development License in respect of those fields.

Resources



We currently have no production or reserves
as defined in NI 51-101 or under the definitions established by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.



The GLJ Report is an evaluation of the
resources of gas and condensate for the Elk and Antelope fields and the Triceratops field, all of which are located onshore in
Papua New Guinea. The GLJ Report was prepared by GLJ, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, effective as of December 31,
2012, and was prepared in accordance with the definitions and guidelines in the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101.



All resources estimated for the Elk and
Antelope fields are classified as contingent resources – economic status undetermined. At this early stage of appraisal,
the resources estimates for the Triceratops field are classified separately in the GLJ Report as either contingent resources –
economic status undetermined or prospective resources. Consistent with our treatment with Elk and Antelope fields, the Triceratops
prospective resources are not included.



Contingent resources are those quantities
of natural gas and condensate estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established
technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or
more contingencies. The economic status of the resources is undetermined and there is no certainty that it will be commercially
viable to produce any portion of the resources.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   19







Prospective Resources are those quantities
of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future
development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective
Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their
discovery and development and may be sub classified based on project maturity.  Prospective resources differ from contingent
resources in that they are estimated volumes associated with undiscovered accumulations. These represent quantities of petroleum
which are estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from oil and gas deposits identified on the basis of indirect
evidence but which have not yet been drilled. This class represents a higher risk than contingent resources since the risk of
discovery is also added.



Elk and Antelope Fields



The Elk and Antelope fields
located in Papua New Guinea and contained within PRL 15 are gas fields reservoired in a composite trap comprising structural
and stratigraphic elements consisting of a Late Oligocene to Late Miocene limestone and carbonate. The Elk field overlies the
northern end of the Antelope field and comprises a tectonic wedge, or over thrust, of highly fractured deep water limestone and
has been penetrated by the Elk-1 and Elk-2 wells. The Antelope field has been penetrated by the Elk-4, Antelope-1, Antelope-2
and Antelope-3 wells and the reservoir consists of a dominantly shallow water reef/platform complex with a dolomite cap with well-developed
secondary porosity and permeability.



The following tables set forth GLJ's estimates
of total contingent resources estimate for gas and condensate at the Elk and Antelope Fields and our the net contingent resources
estimate for gas and condensate at the Elk and Antelope Fields as set forth in the GLJ Report:

Although a final project has not yet been
sanctioned, pre-FEED studies are ongoing for the LNG Project and FEED studies conducted for the Condensate
Stripping Project as options for potential monetization of the gas and condensate.



Triceratops Field



The Triceratops gas and gas condensate
field (see “Description of Our Business”), located in Papua New Guinea and contained within PPL 237 is reservoired
in a composite trap comprising structural and stratigraphic elements consisting of a Late Oligocene to Late Miocene limestone
and carbonate. The Triceratops field has been renamed from the old Bwata gas field and has been penetrated by the Bwata-1 (1959),
Triceratops-1 (2005) and the Triceratops-2 wells 2012. The Triceratops-2 well was declared a discovery well by the DPE in June
of 2012. The Triceratops gas field has been delineated by 140 kilometers of 2-D seismic and currently the western closure of the
field remains outside the acquired seismic coverage.



The following tables present only the
portion of the reservoir classified as contingent resources in the GLT Report;

Accuracy of Resource Estimates



The accuracy of resource estimates is
in part a function of the quality and quantity of the available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.
Other factors in the classification as a resource include a requirement for more delineation wells, detailed design estimates
and near term development plans. The size of the resource estimate could be positively impacted, potentially in a material amount,
if additional delineation wells determined that the aerial extent, reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir is
larger than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation of the seismic and well data. The size of the resource estimate
could be negatively impacted, potentially in a material amount, if additional delineation wells determined that the aerial extent,
reservoir quality and/or the thickness of the reservoir are less than what is currently estimated based on the interpretation
of the seismic and well data.



Costs incurred in relation

Operated License Commitments,
Terms, Expiry and Re-Application



In March 2009, PPLs 236, 237 and 238 were
extended for 5 years, with an initial term of 2 years followed by an intermediate term of 2 years and a final term of 1 year.
The PPL license renewals require that we meet our work program and expenditure commitments for each term. The first 2 year term
of the license anniversaries occurred in March 2011. On May 17, 2011, the State approved our work program and expenditure proposals
for all three licenses.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   22







In January 2011, we applied for a variation
of license conditions on PPL 238 to defer the commitment to drill a well from first two year term to the second term which ends
in March 2013. The State approved this request on May 17, 2011.



We have met all other commitments under
our licenses as of December 31, 2012.



Following are our applicable expenditure
commitments for each PPL and PRL.

Notes:



(1)Commitment
total is for the first 5 years only

(2)The application for variation of PRL15 was granted on November 28, 2012. The variation allowed us to defer the drilling
of an obligation well into the second term of the license

(3)The application for variation of 236 and 238 were submitted on December 5, 2012. The applications are still pending approval.

of PPL 237 surrounding the Triceratops gas and condensate discovery totaling 9 graticular blocks.



As at February 272013, we have submitted a work program and expenditure proposal for year five of PPL237. We are still awaiting confirmation
of the approval of the variations from the DPE.



Petroleum Prospecting License

Petroleum Retention License 15



Petroleum retention licenses may be granted
to licensees of PPLs in which petroleum fields or parts of petroleum fields have been discovered to permit time for the licensee
to develop the means for commercialization of the gas discoveries. In August 2009, we applied for a PRL over the declared location
and on November 30, 2010, PRL 15 was granted by the State and was excised from of PPL 237 and PPL 238.



The initial period of a petroleum retention
license is for five years and further extensions of two 5-year terms may be granted at the discretion of the State.



The total financial commitment over the
first five year term of PRL 15 amounts to $73.0 million. Following are the work commitments for PRL15 for the first two years
of this term, ending in November 2012.

On June 27, 2012, we submitted an application
for a variation of the PRL15 License commitment to extend the well commitments into years three and four of the License. After
the successful mobilization and spudding of the Antelope-3 on September 8, 2012 we submitted a request to modify this variation
to the extension of 1 well obligation into Years 3 and 4. The variation was granted by the DPE on November 27, 2012.



Petroleum Development License
(“PDL”)



In order to progress the proposed development
and commercialization of the Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields, we will need to apply for and obtain a PDL from the State.
Assuming that a PDL is issued, it will replace PRL 15 and include the Elk and Antelope fields and additional acreage required
for in-field facilities and gathering systems. We will also need to apply for and be granted a Petroleum Processing Facilities
License (“PPFL”) for the LNG Project and Pipeline Licenses (“PLs”) for the dry gas and condensate pipelines.
We have commenced preparation of an application for a PDL.



The application for a PDL is made to the
DPE and must be accompanied by detailed proposals for the financing, construction, establishment and operation of all facilities
and services for and incidental to the recovery, processing, storage and transportation of gas from the PDL area. Collectively
these will constitute the Development Plan. In addition, certain agreements and approvals from the State will need to be in place
prior to the grant of the PDL including a gas agreement defining the fiscal regime applicable to the development and providing
for the State’s equity participation in the fields. Environmental approvals will be necessary and we will also be obliged
to submit comprehensive social mapping and landowner identifications studies of those customary landowners within the PDL area.
Ministerial recognition of landowner groups is customarily based on such reports.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   27







Upon application, the State will undertake
a comprehensive review of the Development Plan and any other incidental agreement or approval required before granting the PDL
application. Following its review, the State shall take steps to conduct a ‘forum’ as set out under the Oil &
Gas Act. The forum requires that the State co-ordinate a meeting for all affected stakeholders including the provincial, local
level governments and customary landowners with a view towards establishing a regime for the distribution of royalties and other
benefits that will arise from the commercialization of the fields.



Once all formalities are completed and
the State is satisfied, the State may grant the PDL, the PPFL and the PLs. Should the licenses be issued, the acreage would be
held subject to; (i) periodic review provided for in PNG’s Oil & Gas Act,and (ii) the license holders continuing
to meet commitments associated with the license grant.



Set
forth below is the current development status of each of our licenses:



|License |  | Current Development Status

    drilled. We had previously drilled the Elk-1, Elk-2 and Elk-4 wells on PRL 15. We are now planning the development of infrastructure
    for the Elk and Antelope fields, which is expected to include gas gathering pipelines, the Condensate Stripping Project and
    pipelines to deliver natural gas to the LNG Project and condensate to the Midstream Refining segment.



JVOA and Farm-In Agreement
with PRE



On April
18, 2012, we signed a binding HOA with PRE for PRE to be able to earn a 10.0% net (12.9% gross) participating interest in the
PPL 237, including the Triceratops structure located within that license. The transaction contemplates staged initial cash payments
totaling $116.0 million, an additional carry of 25% of the costs of an agreed exploration work program, and a final resource payment.
On July 27, 2012, we executed Farm-In Agreement with PRE relating to the Triceratops structure and the participating interest
in the PPL 237 license materially in line with the HOA signed on April 18, 2012. Completion of the farm-in transaction remains
subject to satisfaction of additional conditions within 18 months, including execution of a JVOA, and State approval. PRE’s
gross participating interest will be subject to the State’s back-in rights provided for in relevant legislation. Additionally,
PRE has the option to terminate the Farm-In Agreement at various stages of the work program and to be reimbursed up to $96.0 million
of the $116.0 million initial cash payment (which does not include carried costs) out of future upstream production proceeds.
As at December 31, 2012, PRE has paid $40million of the staged cash payments.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   28







Pac
LNG and its affiliates are participating on a 25% beneficial equity basis in the portion of the farm-in transaction relating to
the Triceratops structure (2.5% net and 3.2% gross participating interest), by reducing Pac LNG’s IPI interest in the Triceratops
structure. As a result, Pac LNG and its affiliates will receive credits (to be offset against cash call receivable from Pac LNG
and its affiliates for their IPI interest) for 25% of the payments PRE makes under the farm-in transaction relating to the Triceratops
structure. Pac LNG and its affiliates will also receive credits for a commission fee of 2.5% of cash payments made by PRI (other
than carried costs). Certain other indirect participating interest holders may also participate in the farm-in transaction.



Upstream – Condensate
Stripping Project



The
Condensate Stripping Project will be designed to work in tandem with the LNG Project and will be located on the Elk and Antelope
fields. A condensate-stripping plant is used to process well-stream production fluids (which generally include natural gas, gas
condensate and water) by separating the condensate and water from the gas so that each can be most efficiently utilized or disposed
of. During this process, the recovered water is re-injected into the field, the dry gas is treated and cooled, and the condensates
are stabilized and cooled, before both the gas and condensates are pumped to the LNG facility through separate pipelines. This
process is generally undertaken close to the fields producing the gas/condensate/water stream, because water left in solution
is corrosive to pipelines and leaving condensate in with gas impedes the flow of both.





On August
4, 2010, we entered into a joint venture agreement (the CSP JV) with Mitsui in connection with the Condensate Stripping Project
to develop a condensate stripping facility to extract condensate from the raw gas produced by the Elk and Antelope fields. Following
the completion of engineering design work, financing agreements and further regulatory approvals, Mitsui will make a final investment
decision (FID) and elect whether to continue with the development of the Condensate Stripping Project and take a 50% share in
the facility. In the event Mitsui elects to continue with the development of the facility, it will be responsible for funding
all of the capital cost to build the facility and will have the option to acquire up to a 5% interest in the Elk and Antelope
fields. If Mitsui elects not to continue with the development of the facility, we will be required to refund their capital expenditures.



The
capital cost for the Condensate Stripping Project was initially estimated at $550.0 million, with approximately $32.0 million
of this to be expended for FEED. During 2011, the FEED work was carried out. The FEED phase generated deliverables to technically
and commercially define the project and prepare it for execution (detailed engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication,
commissioning, and hand-over to operations), and proposals were solicited from potential EPC contractors. We are continuing the
planning and preparation efforts for the execution of the Condensate Stripping Project, which efforts include detailed project
execution planning, execution scheduling and risk assessment work.



At the
end of 2012, agreement was reached with Mitsui to extend the dates in the CSP agreements to provide flexibility for FID. We can
provide no assurance we will reach FID by the target date or at all, that this date will be further extended or that we will enter
into unconditional or definitive agreements with Mitsui.



We have
selected the site for the condensate stripping plant, finalized plot dimensions and layout for the facility and conducted geotechnical
site selection investigations. We have also brought in a soils specialist to assist in optimizing the site location and prepared
a report recommending that condensate stripping plant be built on the site. We are currently developing site logistics plans.



Negotiations
for pipeline material procurement and pipeline installation contracts have been put on hold pending finalization of agreements
with the State. A geo-hazard seismological survey of the pipeline route has been completed. Pipeline route center line surveying
has been completed. Gas gathering system design has been initiated. All social and economic impact statements for the pipeline
license areas and social mapping and land investigation studies for the pipeline route are complete. Condensate Stripping Project
base, Herd Base, Hepea and the Bluff have been established as operational bases for pipeline contractor activities.

Completion
of the required LNG Project by us and our joint venture partners and related construction will take a number of years to complete.
No assurances can be given that we will be able to construct the proposed LNG facilities or as to the timing of such construction.



MIDSTREAM
- REFINING



In the
1990s we identified the fact that, since becoming a major oil producer in 1992, Papua New Guinea was one of the few oil producing
countries in the world with no domestic oil refinery. The potential to replace imports and avoid transportation costs provided
an opportunity for a “niche” refinery sized to supply Papua New Guinea and nearby markets. We believed that an installation
whose capacity matched that “niche” market would be economically attractive. We began implementing a business plan
to capture that opportunity by sourcing an existing refinery and by working with the State to further enhance the project economics.



On January
31, 2005, our refinery achieved practical completion. Practical completion means construction of the refinery has been completed
and that the refinery has satisfactorily completed the reliability and performance tests which were conducted as part of the acceptance
and handover process.



We
are currently the sole refiner of hydrocarbons in Papua New Guinea.Our
refinery is located across the harbor from Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea. We
import crude oil for processing at our refinery and resell the refined products primarily within Papua New Guinea at IPP, which
is basically the price that would be paid in Papua New Guinea for a refined product that had been imported. We also distribute
a large portion of the production from our refinery through our retail distribution network.







Jet fuel, diesel and gasoline are the
primary products that we produce for the domestic market. The refining process also results in the production of two Naphtha grades
and low sulfur waxy residue. To the extent that we do not convert the Naphtha to gasoline, we export it to the local and Asian
markets in two grades, light Naphtha and mixed Naphtha, which are predominately used as petrochemical feedstock. LSWR can be and
is being sold as fuel for power generation domestically, local bunker fuel sales with the majority exported for use in other complex
refineries as cracker feedstock or supply to other end users, including power generators.



Facilities and Major Subcontractors



Our refinery includes a jetty with two
berths for loading and discharging vessels and a road tanker loading system (gantry). Our larger berth has deep water access of
56 feet (17 meters) and has been designed to accommodate crude and product tankers with capacity up to 130,000 dwt. Our smaller
berth can accommodate ships with a capacity of up to 22,000 dwt. Our tank farm has the ability to store approximately 750,000
barrels of crude feedstock and approximately 1.1 million barrels of refined products. We have a reverse osmosis desalination unit
that produces all of the water used by our refinery, camp and office facilities, power generation facilities that meet all of
our electricity needs, and other site infrastructure and support facilities, including a laboratory, a waste water treatment plant,
staff accommodation and a fire station.



Our refinery’s on-site laboratory
is accredited by National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia. The lab is staffed and operated by an internationally
recognized independent inspection and testing company. All crude imports and finished products are tested and certified on-site
to contractual specifications, while independent certification of quantities loaded and discharged at the refinery are also provided
by the laboratory.



Crude Supply



In December 2001, we entered into an agreement
with BP Singapore for the supply of crude feedstock to our refinery. Supply under the agreement commenced when our refinery began
operations in June 2004 and continued for 5 years until June 2009. Since this time the agreement has been renewed annually. BP
Singapore is one of the largest marketers and shippers of crude oil in the Asia Pacific region. This contract provides us with
a reliable mechanism to access and ship the majority of the regional crudes suitable for our refinery. We will continue to review
this arrangement and other options for sources of feedstock supply for our refinery and have been successful in securing other
crude supply agreements for specific regional crudes.

Sales







Papua New
Guinea is our principal market for the products our refinery produces, other than Naphtha and LSWR. Under our 30 year agreement
with the State, the State has agreed to ensure that all domestic distributors purchase their refined petroleum product needs from
our refinery, (and from any other refinery which may be constructed in Papua New Guinea), at IPP. In general, the IPP is the price
that would be paid in Papua New Guinea for a refined product that is being imported. In late 2007, the IPP was modified, most
significantly by changing the Singapore benchmark price from the ”Singapore Posted Prices” which was no longer being
updated, to MOPS which is the current benchmark price for refined products in the region in which we operate. The Project Agreement
governing our relationship with the State is yet to be formally amended to reflect the revised formula which has been in use for
the last four years. (See “Material Contracts – Refinery Project Agreement”).Wealso
distribute a large portion of the production from our refinery through our retail distribution network.



The major
export product from our refinery is the two grades of Naphtha. On January 1, 2010 a 12 month term agreement with Dalian Fujia
Dahua Petrochemicals (“Dalian”), which operates a petrochemical plant in China, was entered into providing for export
sales of Naphtha. This contract ran for an 18 month period from January 1, 2011 until June 30, 2012. Following this, we entered
into a 12 month term contract with Glencore Singapore for the sale of export Naphtha which expires in June 2013.



Our refinery
is fully certified to manufacture and market Jet A-1 fuel to international specifications and markets this product to both domestic
Papua New Guinea and overseas airlines.



We were a
net consumer of LPG until the conversion of the main process furnaces and commissioning of the Hyundai generators which burn LSWR
in 2006. With the installation of the LSWR firing generators, heaters and boilers, plus improved facilities for recovering LPG
from the reformer off-gas and increased percentages of sweet crudes containing LPG, we are now a net producer of LPG.



Competition



Due to their
favorable properties, light sweet crudes from the Southeast Asian and Northwest Australian region are highly sought after by refiners
for use as feedstock. Therefore, there is significant competition to secure cargoes of these crude types. Due to the limited supply
of light sweet crudes and the strong competition, we are not always able to secure our first choice crudes for our refinery and
are required to obtain alternate crudes that are available.



We own the
only refinery in Papua New Guinea. While not restricted under any agreement we have with the State, we do not envision any new
entrants into the refining business within Papua New Guinea under the current market conditions. However, domestic distributors
have not sourced all of their requirements from the refinery since 2009. Excess diesel, gasoline, Naphtha and LSWR that are exported
are sold subject to prevailing commodity market conditions. Our geographical position and limited storage capacity inhibits our
ability to compete with the regional refining center in Singapore for sales of large cargo sizes. However, these same factors
may also provide competitive advantages if we expand our exports of refined products to the small and fragmented South Pacific
markets.



Customers



Domestically
in Papua New Guinea we sell Jet A-1 fuel, diesel, gasoline and small parcels of LSWR to domestic distributors. Our main domestic
customer is our downstream distribution business segment, however we also distribute fuel products to Niugini Oil Company, Islands
Petroleum and Exxon Mobil.



Trading
and Risk Management



Our revenues
are derived from the sale of refined petroleum products. Prices for refined products and crude feedstock are volatile and sometimes
experience large fluctuations over short periods of time as a result of relatively small changes in supplies, weather conditions,
economic conditions and government actions. Due to the nature of our business, there is always a time difference between the purchase
of a crude feedstock and its arrival at the refinery and the supply of finished products to customers.



Our refinery
faces mainly two types of market risks:



| | 1) | Flat
                                                                 price (or timing) risk, which results from the time lag between
                                                                 crude purchases and product sales. Generally, we are required
                                                                 to purchase crude feedstock approximately one to two months in
                                                                 advance of processing, whereas the domestic supply or export
                                                                 of finished products takes place after the crude feedstock is
                                                                 discharged and processed.  This timing difference can lead
                                                                 to differences between the cost of our crude feedstock and the
                                                                 revenue from the proceeds of the sale of products, due to the
                                                                 fluctuation in prices during the time period.

| | 2) | Crack
                                                                 spread (or margin) risk. Month to month changes of crack spreads,
                                                                 even when pricing of crude purchases and that of product sales
                                                                 fall into the same month, can affect the profitability of our
                                                                 refinery.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



However,
we can use various derivative instruments to assist us to reduce or hedge away the risks of changes in the relative prices of
our crude feedstock and refined products.  These derivatives, which can be used to manage our price risk, can effectively
enable us to manage the refinery margin.  At the same time, this means that if the difference between our sales price of
the refined products and our acquisition price of crude feedstock expands or increases, then the benefits are limited to the margin
range we have established.



The derivative
instruments which we generally use are over-the-counter swaps. Swap transactions are executed between the counterparties in the
derivatives swaps market. It is commonplace among major refiners and trading companies in Asia Pacific to use derivative swaps
as a tool to hedge their price exposures and margins. Due to the wide usage of such derivative tools in the Asia Pacific region,
the swaps market generally provides sufficient liquidity for our hedging and risk management activities. The derivative swap instrument
covers commodities or products such as jet, kerosene, diesel, Naphtha, and also crudes such as Dated Brent and Dubai. By using
these tools, we actively engage in hedging activities to manage margins.



During the
past 3 years, we participated in a number of hedges to reduce our risks. To manage the flat price risks, we transferred crude
purchases to the months of product sales by utilizing Dated Brent time spread; we also directly sold product swaps for the months
of product sales, such as selling MOPS naphtha swaps. To manage the crack spread risk, we sold crack spread swaps, such as MOPS
naphtha vs. Dated Brent swaps and MOPS Gasoil 0.5% vs. Dated Brent swaps.

A pipeline can be used to transport natural gas from where it has been extracted to another location where it is used. As there
is essentially no domestic market for gas in Papua New Guinea, the only practical solution for the monetization of our gas resource
is to transport it using specially configured ships after it has been processed into the form of LNG. LNG is a term that describes
the result of a process of cooling natural gas to a temperature of -162°C and compressing
it into a volume approximately 1/600th of its original volume.





Before
gas can be processed into LNG, it must be gathered from the source wells using a piping system, water and condensates must be
“stripped”, or separated, from the “dry” gas and it must be transported through a pipeline to a liquefaction
facility (which is usually located adjacent to a shipping terminal).



We, together
with our partners, are planning the development of an LNG Project involving the construction of liquefaction facilities to be
built on the coast in the Gulf Province of PNG. As presently planned the LNG Project is a staged project currently planned to
be built in three stages (subject to PNG approvals) namely:



Stage 1 -
Start up production: an initial capacity of 3.8mtpa of LNG with a condensate stripping unit with a capacity of 600 to 900 mmcf/d.



Stage 2 –Build
Additional Production Capacity: target ramp-up of capacity up to 8 mtpa LNG production, with a condensate stripping facility capacity
of 1,350 mmcf/d capacity; and



Stage 3 –
Potential Expansion of Production: The potential final ramp up will be to 11 mtpa with condensate stripping facilities reaching
1,800 mmcf/d capacity.



We can provide
no assurances that we will obtain the financing and approvals necessary to proceed with the LNG Project in this manner, or that
we will have sufficient gas resources to support the potential expansion stage.



Initial engineering
design was undertaken in relation to the LNG Project. The regulatory and taxation regime with the State was established with the
execution on December 23, 2009 of the LNG Project Agreement. This agreement also provides for the participation by the State in
the LNG Project, allowing it to take up to a 20.5% ownership stake. Affected landowners are able to take an additional 2% stake
bringing the total to 22.5%.

On
November 16, 2012, we were notified by the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea Hon. Peter O’Neill that the NEC had conditionally
approved our LNG development project in the Gulf Province. This decision clears the way to proceed with our plans for the development
of an LNG plant in the Gulf Province with initial planned output of a minimum of 3.8 million tonnes per annum. The decision also
approves an option for the State to acquire an additional 27.5% interest in the Elk and Antelope gas fields, over and above the
22.5% interest to which it is entitled under the Oil & Gas Act, on terms to be negotiated with us. The NEC further approved
the establishment of a State negotiating team to discuss and agree to the necessary amendments to the 2009 LNG Project Agreement
between the State and Liquid Niugini Gas Limited, to give effect to the NEC decision, and to agree on the terms on which the State
could acquire the additional interest. The NEC decision confirms that the basis of the acquisition will be on commercial market
terms. The NEC decision also includes as a condition of its approval that the LNG plant operator must be an internationally recognized
operator of the planned LNG facilities.



During 2010,
we and Pac LNG pursuing the development of the LNG Project by exploring the use of a modular plant able to be expanded incrementally
from an initial position of 2 mtpa, and to explore locating this plant in the Gulf Province rather than near our existing refinery
outside of Port Moresby. Advantages perceived with this approach included the potential acceleration of first production and reduced
operational risks. In line with this revised approach, certain initial conditional agreements were entered into with EWC for development
of the LNG Project. The agreements remain conditional and the parties may elect not to proceed with the LNG Project on the terms
specified in those agreements or at all.



The
infrastructure required for the LNG Project as currently envisagedincludes
a jetty and breakwater for an onshore LNG loading facility with expansion potential and
approximately 70 miles (115 kilometers) of pipeline from the Elk and Antelope fields to the coast. The wells and the processed
gas pipeline running from the Condensate Stripping Project to the coast in the Gulf Province will be the responsibility of the
owners of the Elk and Antelope fields, including us and our upstream partners.



Construction
of the proposed LNG Project and related infrastructure by us and our joint venture partners would take a number of years to complete.
No assurances can be given that we will be able to construct the proposed LNG facilities or as to the timing of such construction.



At present,
the LNG Project is being pursued by us in joint venture with Pac LNG. Our interests in the project are held through an incorporated
joint venture entity, PNG LNG which in turn wholly owns those entities formed in Papua New Guinea to pursue the LNG Project (see
“Material Contracts – LNG Project Shareholders Agreement dated July 30, 2007”).



We are currently
seeking an internationally recognized LNG operating and equity partner for the co-development of the LNG Project, which may include
the acquisition of an interest in the Elk and Antelope fields. In the event that this search is successful it is likely that our
interests in the LNG Project, and those of our partners, will be reduced.



|DOWNSTREAM -
    WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DISTRIBUTION
|--------------------------------------------------



We have the
largest wholesale and retail petroleum product distribution base in Papua New Guinea, after acquiring the fuel distribution assets
of BP and Shell several years ago. This business includes bulk storage, transportation distribution and aviation, wholesale and
retail facilities for refined petroleum products. Our downstream business supplies petroleum products nationally in Papua New
Guinea through a portfolio of retail service stations and commercial customers.



Sales



The ICCC
regulates the maximum prices and margins that may be charged by the wholesale and retail hydrocarbon distribution industry in
Papua New Guinea. Margins were last reviewed by the ICCC in 2010 and will be further reviewed in 2014. We and our competitors
may charge less than the maximum margin set by the ICCC in order to maintain competitiveness.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   33







Supply
of Products



Our retail
and wholesale distribution business distributes diesel, jet fuel, avgas, gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil as well as branded commercial
and industrial lubricants, such as engine and hydraulic oils. In general, all of the refined products sold pursuant to our wholesale
and retail distribution business are purchased from our refinery. We import the commercial and industrial lubricants, avgas and
fuel oil, which constitute a small percentage of our volumes.



We deliver
refined products from our refinery to two tanker vessels we charter, which are operated by a separate corporate division. We do
not own these vessels but rather lease them on a full time charter basis. We schedule all of our own movements and deliveries
on our chartered vessels. Our inland depots are supplied by road tankers which are owned and operated by third party independent
transport contractors.



Our terminal
and depot network distributes refined petroleum products to retail service stations, aviation facilities and commercial customers.
We supply retail service stations and commercial customers with petroleum products using trucks or, in the case of some commercial
customers, coastal ships. We do not own any of these shipping or trucking distribution assets. We pass transportation costs through
to our customers.



Retail
Distribution



As of December
31, 2012, weprovided petroleum products to 53retail service stations with 43operating under the InterOil brand name and the
remaining ten operating under their own independentbrands. Of the53service stationsthat we supply, 16 are either owned by orhead-leased to us with a sublease to company-approved operators.We currently
operate one InterOil branded service station in PortMoresby directly, with a
view to capturing the additional margin available on the retail sale of petroleum products. If this venture proves successful,
we may consider operating more of our own retail service stations in the future. The remaining 37 service stations we supply areindependently owned and operated. We supply products to each of these service stations pursuant to distribution supply
agreements. We also provide fuel pumps and related infrastructure to the operators of
themajority of these retail service stations that are not owned or leased by us.



One
of our major strengths is our spread of storage and distribution facilities throughout Papua New Guinea. We have terminal facilities
in POM (2), Alotau, Lae (2), Madang, Wewak, Goroka, Mt Hagen (2), Rabaul, Kimbe (2) and Kavieng. The only area we are not represented
in is Oro Province (Popondetta). This enables us to offer national deals to customers spread over various geographical locations.
We also service eleven airfields throughout the country although we are not represented at the main international airfield at
Jacksons. While we supply the only provider at this airfield with Jet A1, we have to date not been represented on the field.



Wholesale
Distribution



We supply
petroleum products as a wholesaler to commercial clients and operate aviation refueling facilities throughout Papua New Guinea.
We own and operate six large terminals and five smaller terminals and two inland bulk fuel depots that we use to supply product
throughout Papua New Guinea. We enter into commercial supply agreements with mining, agricultural, fishing, logging and similar
commercial clients to supply their petroleum product needs. Pursuant to many of these agreements, we supply and maintain company-owned
above-ground storage tanks and pumps that are used by these customers. More than two-thirds of the volume of petroleum products
that we sold during 2011 was supplied to commercial customers. Although the volume of sales to commercial customers is far larger
than through our retail distribution network, these product sales are at a lower margin due to the volume rebates offered to our
larger customers as a direct result of competition in this sector. Aviation customers represented a significant proportion of
our total business by volume.



Competition



Our main
competitor in the wholesale and retail distribution business in Papua New Guinea is ExxonMobil. We also compete with smaller local
distributors of petroleum products. With the decision of our competitors early in 2010 to partly import directly from overseas
refineries and the consequent cessation of the joint industry shipping arrangements, it is difficult to accurately gauge our market
share. Our competitors source small quantities from our refinery from both the refinery gantry for the Port Moresby market and
by tanker vessel for the markets outside Port Moresby. Our major competitive advantage is the large widespread distribution network
we maintain with largely adequate storage capacity that services most areas of PNG. We also believe that our commitment to the
distribution business in Papua New Guinea at a time when major-integrated oil and gas companies exited the Papua New Guinea fuel
distribution market provides us with a competitive advantage. However, major-integrated oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil
have greater resources than we do and could if they decided to do so, expand much more rapidly in this market than we can.

Major
Customers



In 2012,
we sold approximately 13% of our refined petroleum products to a major mining project in Papua New Guinea pursuant to a wholesale
distribution contract. These volumes were contracted with narrow margins in order to provide volumes for the Midstream Refinery
operations and as such, the loss of this customer, at least in the short term, would not adversely affect the profitability of
our retail and wholesale distribution business. We entered into an additional supply agreement with a major mine in January 2010
for a two plus two year period.



During 2012,
we sold approximately 10% of our refined petroleum products to Pacific Energy Aviation (PNG) Ltd for aviation refueling at Papua
New Guinea’s international airport in Port Moresby.



|THE ENVIRONMENT
    AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
|-------------------------------------------



Environmental
Protection



Our operations
in Papua New Guinea are subject to an environmental law regime which includes laws concerning emissions of substances into, and
pollution and contamination of, the atmosphere, waters and land, production, use, handling, storage, transportation and disposal
of waste, hazardous substances and dangerous goods, conservation of natural resources, the protection of threatened and endangered
flora and fauna and the health and safety of people.



These environmental
laws require that our sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to standards set out in the relevant legislation.
The significant Papua New Guinea laws applicable to our operations include the Environment Act 2000; the Oil & Gas Act 1998;
the Dumping of Wastes at Sea Act (Ch. 369); the Conservation Areas Act (Ch.362); and the International Trade (Flora and Fauna)
Act (Ch.391).



The Environment
Act 2000 is the single most significant legislation affecting our operations. This regulates the environmental impact of development
activities in order to promote sustainable development of the environment and the economic, social and physical well-being of
people and imposes a duty to take all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimize environmental harm. A breach
of this Act can result in significant fines or penalties. Under the Compensation (Prohibition of Foreign Legal Proceedings) Act
1995, no legal proceedings for compensation claims arising from petroleum projects in Papua New Guinea may be taken up or pursued
in any foreign courtunless proceedings were first brought
in a Papua New Guinea court for or in pursuance of the same or substantially the same compensation claim and;



(a)          having
been served, the defendant to such proceedings has not, within the time permitted, submitted to the jurisdiction of the Papua
New Guinea court; or

(b)          a
final judgement has been given or a final determination has been made in relation to those proceedings in a Papua New Guinea court
or a Papua New Guinea tribunal and the judgement or determination remains unsettled.



Compliance
with Papua New Guinea’s environmental legislation can require significant expenditures. The environmental legislation regime
is complex and subject to different interpretations. Although no assurances can be made, we believe that, absent the occurrence
of an extraordinary event, continued compliance with existing Papua New Guinea laws regulating the release of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect upon our capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position with respect to our existing assets and operations, as has been the case during 2012. Future
legislative action and regulatory initiatives could result in changes to operating permits, additional remedial actions or increased
capital expenditures and operating costs that cannot be assessed with certainty at this time.



Up until
November 2012 we had outstanding loans with OPIC, an agency of the United States Government supporting the development of our
refinery. OPIC is required by statute to conduct an environmental assessment of every project proposed for financing and to decline
support for projects that, in OPIC’s judgment, would have an unreasonable or major adverse impact on the environment, or
on the health or safety of workers in the host country. For most industrial sectors, OPIC expects projects to meet the more stringent
of the World Bank or host-country environmental, health and safety standards. OPIC systematically monitors compliance with environmental
representations and non-compliance may constitute a default under loan agreements.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   35







More stringent
laws and regulations relating to climate change and greenhouse gases may be adopted in the future and could cause us to incur
material expenses in complying with them. Regulatory initiatives could adversely affect the marketability of the refined products
we produce and any oil and natural gas we may produce in the future. The impact of such future programs cannot be predicted.



Environmental
and Social Policies



We have implemented
an environmental policy which acknowledges that the principles of sustainable development are integral to responsible resource
management. Under the policy, we will strive to minimize impacts on the physical environment, minimize negative social impacts
and we accept the community desire to protect the natural environment from the material adverse effects of resource development.
We routinely conduct “Environmental Risk Analysis” for major projects in which hazards to the environment are identified,
with mitigating controls implemented and a “Hazard Register” developed to monitor any residual risks. We also develop
project specific “Environmental Management, Monitoring & Reporting Plans”, in compliance with the PNG environmental
protection legislation in order to monitor our ongoing compliance and performance. We have established corporate level controls
in which all “near miss and real incidents” are reported, and investigated.



We have not
adopted any specific social policies that are fundamental to our operations. However, we are committed to working closely with
the communities we operate in and to complying with all laws and governmental regulations applicable to our activities, including
maintaining a safe and healthy work environment and conducting our activities in full compliance with all applicable environmental
laws.



Our Community
Relations department oversees the management of community assistance programs and manages land acquisition related compensation
claims and payments. Our development philosophy is based on “bottom-up planning” thus ensuring that all planning and
development takes the local community into account. In relation to our midstream refining business, the department has developed
a long-term community development assistance program that benefits the villages in the vicinity of the refinery. In addition,
we have a team of officers associated with our upstream business who operate in the field and perform a wide variety of tasks.
These include land owner identification studies, social mapping management, local recruitment, liaising with landowners, recording
compensation payments to land owners and assisting in the provision of health and medical services in the areas in which our exploration
activities are conducted. Generally, the department works closely with government, landowners and the community in order to ensure
that all our activities have a minimum environmental impact and to at least maintain, and generally improve, the quality of life
of the people inhabiting the areas in which we work.



We are currently
undertaking the work required under PNG’s Oil & Gas Act and Environment Act to support an application
for a PDL for the Elk and Antelope fields and other related licenses which will be required for pipelines and processing facilities
associated with our LNG Project. These studies cover social mapping and landowner identification studies, socio economic impact
statements, land investigations, benefit sharing models and other related base line studies. We have engaged expert consultants
to assist us with the preparation of a detailed environmental impact statement and other baseline environmental and health studies.
These studies are a pre-requisite to the grant of a PDL and will allow us to advance the necessary planning to formulate our proposals
as to the nature and distribution of project benefits, and will assist the State in convening a forum of all interested stakeholders
at landowner, local and provincial government level for the purpose of procuring a development agreement on benefit sharing.



|RISK FACTORS
|------------



Our business
is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. The risks and uncertainties described below
are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we consider immaterial based on information
currently available to us may also materially adversely affect us. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   36







Our
ability to develop our resources, including developing the Condensate Stripping Project and the LNG Project, together with associated
pipelines and common facilities, is contingent on our ability to obtain significant funding.



We
make, and will continue to make, substantial capital expenditures for exploration, development, acquisition and production of
oil and gas reserves, the LNG Project and other infrastructure associated with that proposed LNG Project, the Condensate Stripping
Project, refinery expansions and improvements, acquisitions of distribution assets, and for further capital acquisitions and expenses.Our share of the cost for the construction of these projects will be significant,
both to maintain our existing ownership andto meet the requirements of any reduced interest
in the event we sell a portion of it, and may amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Our existing cost estimates, which in
some cases are in early stages of development, are subject to change,due to such items as scope changes, revisions resulting
from more detailed estimation work, cost overruns, change orders, delays in construction, increased material costs, escalation
of labor costs, and increased spending to maintain the construction schedule.



To fund these
development projects, we will need to pursue a variety of sources of funding besides those that we currently have planned. Our
ability to obtain such significant funding will depend, in part, on factors beyond our control, such as the status of capital
and industry markets at the time financing is sought and such markets’ view of our industry and of the prospects of us and
our partners at the relevant time. We may not be able to reduce our funding obligations by selling a portion of our interest in
the project on terms acceptable to us. We may not be able to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all, even
if our development project is otherwise proceeding on schedule. In addition, our ability to obtain some types of financing may
be dependent upon our ability to obtain other types of financing. For example, project-level debt financing is typically contingent
upon a significant equity capital contribution from the project sponsor. As a result, even if we are able to identify potential
project-level lenders, we may have to obtain another form of external financing for us to fund an equity capital contribution
to the project subsidiary. A failure to obtain financing at any point in the development process could cause us to delay or fail
to complete our business plan for the Condensate Stripping Project or the LNG Project.



Our
business relies in part on our ability to negotiate definitive agreements following conditional framework agreements and heads
of agreement relating to the development of the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project, or to otherwise negotiate and
secure arrangements with other entities for such development and the associated financing thereof.



In order
to operate our business, we will need to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with our joint venture partners under
existing and future conditional framework agreements and heads of agreement relating to the development of the LNG Project and
the Condensate Stripping Project. We have limited experience negotiating these types of agreements. Each of these agreements is
important to our business, and we cannot be certain of entering into definitive agreements with any of these parties. If we lose
our business relationships with any of our potential collaborators for any reason, and are unable to otherwise negotiate and secure
similar arrangements with other potential collaborators, our business and prospects could be adversely affected.



We
depend upon access to the capital markets to fund our growth strategy.



As a result
of the weakened global economic situation, including the European sovereign debt crisis, the downgrading of United States government
debt and United States fiscal policy issues, we, along with all other energy companies, may have restricted access to capital,
bank debt and equity, and may also face increased borrowing costs. Although our business and asset base have not declined, the
lending capacity of many financial institutions has diminished and risk premiums have increased. As future capital expenditures
will be financed out of funds generated from operations, funds raised in the equity and debt markets, borrowings and possible
future asset sales, our ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of the capital markets and investor
appetite for investments in the energy industry and our assets and securities in particular.



To the extent
that external sources of capital are limited or unavailable or available only on onerous terms, our ability to make capital investments
and maintain existing assets may be restricted, and our assets, liabilities, business, financial condition and results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected as a result.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   37







Based on
current funds available and expected funds generated from operations, we believe we have sufficient funds available to fund our
refining and distribution business operations in the normal course, but not the full development of our exploration assets, the
LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project, each of which would require significant capital. Significant capital will also
be required in order to fund additional exploration and development of the Elk, Antelope and Triceratops fields and meet our exploration
license commitments. Failure to obtain any financing necessary for our capital expenditure plans, including through transactions
with joint venture parties or otherwise, will likely result in delays in these activities.



Even
with the agreements we have signed to date for development of the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project, we may not
be able to timely construct and commission them.



We may not
complete construction of the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project in a timely manner within budget, or at all, due
to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors that could adversely affect our planned construction include,
but are not limited to, the following:

Our inability
to timely complete (or complete at all) the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project may prevent us in part or in whole
from commencing operations with respect to those projects. Thus, as a result, we may not receive any cash revenues from these
facilities on time or at all.



We
must obtain and maintain necessary permits, licenses and approvals from relevant Papua New Guinea government authorities to develop
our gas and condensate resources and to develop the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project within reasonable time periods
and upon reasonable terms, which can be a costly and time consuming process.



We
do not hold title to our properties in Papua New Guinea, but hold licenses granted by the Papua New Guinea government. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to renew any of our licenses when they expire, or obtain additional licenses necessary to
develop our properties in the future. If we do not satisfy the Papua New Guinea government that we have the financial and technical
capacities necessary to operate under such licenses, or to develop and operate the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project
such licenses may be withdrawn, or not obtained or renewed. Additionally, our ability to renew our licenses, develop our resources
and develop the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project may be dependent on our ability to secure a strategic partner
acceptable to the State for the development of our resources and/or our proposed LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain such a strategic partner on terms acceptable to us, or that the Papua New
Guinea government will grant us the necessary permits and approvals to develop our gas and condensate resources or to develop
the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project even if such a partner is obtained. Any such negative developments with respect
to our permits, licenses or other approvals from the Papua New Guinea government would have a material adverse effect on our ability
to conduct our business.

We
may not be successful in our exploration for oil and gas.



As of December
31, 2012, we had drilled a total of eight exploration wells and a number of appraisal wells in our license areas since the inception
of our exploration program. Of the exploration wells, we consider two to have been successful. We are drilling and plan to drill
additional wells in Papua New Guinea during the coming years in line with our commitments under our PPLs and PRLs. We cannot be
certain that the wells we drill will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of the costs to drill these wells.
Because of the high cost, topography and subsurface characteristics of the areas we are exploring, we have limited seismic or
other geosciences data to assist us in identifying drilling objectives. The lack of this data makes our exploration activities
more risky than would be the case if such information were readily available.



Our exploration
and development plans may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a lack of adequate capital funding and other factors,
such as weather, compliance with governmental regulations, price controls, landowner interference, mechanical difficulties, shortages
of materials, delays in the delivery of equipment, success or failure of activities in similar areas, current and forecasted prices
for oil and natural gas and changes in the estimates of costs to complete the plans. We will continue to gather information about
our exploration acreage and discoveries, and it is possible that additional information may cause us to alter our schedule or
determine that an exploration program or development project should not be pursued at all. You should understand that our plans
regarding our exploration programs are subject to change. We cannot assure you that our exploration activities have or will result
in the discovery of any additional resources. In addition, the costs of exploration and development may materially exceed our
initial estimates.



Our
refinery’s financial condition may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to obtain crude feedstocks at economic
rates, or if we are unable to secure sufficient working capital.



While we
have a number of possible sources we employ for crude supply, and our agreement with BP currently provides for the delivery of
sufficient crude feedstock, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to source adequate feedstock for our refinery.



Some types
of crude oil that are suitable for use as refinery feedstock are available in the nearby region. However, the majority of our
feedstock comes from sources outside of Papua New Guinea and our access to these crudes and to oil sourced from farther outside
Papua New Guinea may be more limited as there are a limited number of crude oil sources currently available that are compatible
with our refinery and economic for us to refine. The number of these alternative sources is also declining. In addition, the increased
cost of oil from outside Papua New Guinea may reduce our gross profit margins and negate the operational benefits of using such
oil. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain all of the oil needed to operate our refinery or that we will
be able to obtain the crude feedstocks that allow us to operate our refinery at profitable levels.



In addition,
these same factors, as well as other factors outside our control, may affect our ability to maintain our working capital or to
continue to secure adequate working capital to fund our refinery’s operations.



There
is uncertainty associated with the regulated prices at which our products are sold by our refinery.



Under our
Refinery Project Agreement with the State (See “Material Contracts – Refinery Project Agreement”), refined
products produced by our refinery are required to be sold at a defined import parity price in order for domestic distributors
in Papua New Guinea to be required to source their fuel needs from our refinery. In general, the IPP is the price that would be
paid in Papua New Guinea for a refined product that is being imported, which price is set monthly. A revised formula was established
with the State during 2008 and has been in operation since such time. Our agreement with the State has not been amended formally
to capture that revised formula and the formula we have been operating under may be subject to attempted change. It is possible
that the State will refuse to maintain the project formula and that it may seek to reduce our refining margins.

We purchase
our crude at a fluctuating spot market price. A primary reason for our renegotiation of the IPP pricing formula with the State
was to establish a new pricing mechanism that would correlate more closely with the movements in the price of refined products
and therefore the price of crude. In the event that such pricing mechanism is not maintained there is a possibility that such
misalignment between the IPP for our products and the fluctuating market price of our supply may reduce our profit or cause us
to cease operating the refinery.



Our
ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and stock price.



Our success
depends in large part on the continued services of our directors, executive officers, senior managers and other key personnel.
The loss of these people, especially without sufficient advance notice, could have a material adverse impact on our business.
It is also very important that we attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including technical personnel, to manage the LNG
Project and associated development plans, to operate our refinery, execute our exploration plans and replace personnel who leave.
Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and there are a limited number of people with the requisite knowledge and
experience, particularly in Papua New Guinea where a substantial number of our skilled personnel are required to work. Under these
conditions, we could be unable to recruit, train, and retain employees. If we cannot attract and retain qualified personnel, it
could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price.



Our
hedging activities may result in losses.



To reduce
the risks of changes in the relative prices of our crude feedstocks and refined products, we may enter into hedging arrangements.
Hedging arrangements would expose us to risk of financial loss in some circumstances, including the following:

In addition,
these hedging arrangements may limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the price of our refined products relative
to the prices for our crude feedstocks.



While we
believe our hedge counterparties to be strong and creditworthy, disruptions occurring in the financial markets, the European sovereign
debt crisis and the downgrading of United States government debt could lead to sudden changes in a counterparty’s liquidity,
which could restrict their ability to perform under the terms of the hedging contract. We are unable to predict sudden changes
in a counterparty’s creditworthiness or ability to perform. Even if we do accurately predict sudden changes, our ability
to negate the risk may be limited depending upon market conditions.



Our
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates.



Our results
of operations and financial condition may be affected by currency exchange rates. Exchange rates may fluctuate widely in response
to international political conditions, general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control. While our domestic product
sales are denominated in the Papua New Guinean currency, Kina, portions of our operating costs, with respect to the purchase of
crude and other imported products, and our indebtedness are denominated in US dollars. A strengthening of the US dollar versus
the PGK may have the effect of increasing operating costs while a weakening of the US dollar versus the PGK may reduce operating
costs. Additionally, a significant portion of our operating costs are denominated in Australian currency. Strengthening of this
currency against the US dollar has the effect of increasing our operating costs. In addition, since our indebtedness needs to
be paid in US dollars, a strengthening of the US dollar versus the PGK may negatively impact our ability to service our US-dollar
denominated debt. Moreover, we may have additional exposure to currency exchange risk since we may not be able to convert our
PGK-based revenue cash flow in a timely manner in order to meet our US-dollar denominated debt obligations.

Our
investments in Papua New Guinea are subject to political, legal and economic risks that could materially adversely affect their
value.



Our investments
in Papua New Guinea involve risks typically associated with investments in developing countries, such as uncertain political,
economic, legal and tax environments; corruption; expropriation and nationalization of assets; war; renegotiation or nullification
of existing contracts; taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; international monetary fluctuations; currency controls;
and foreign governmental regulations that favor or require the awarding of service contracts to local contractors or require foreign
contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.



Political
conditions have at times been unstable in Papua New Guinea. We attempt to conduct our business pursuant to various agreements
with the State, and pursuant to its laws, in such a manner that political and economic events of this nature will have minimal
effects on our operations. We believe that hydrocarbon exploration and development, development of LNG Project and the Condensate
Stripping Project and our refinery operations are in the long term best interests of Papua New Guinea. Notwithstanding current
conditions, our ability to conduct operations or exploration and development activities is subject to changes in government regulations
or shifts in political attitudes over which we have no control. We cannot assure you that we have adequate protection against
any or all of the risks described above or that present or future administrations or government regulations in Papua New Guinea
will not materially adversely affect our operations.



In addition,
if a dispute arises with respect to our Papua New Guinea operations or proposed development projects, we may be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons, especially foreign oil ministries
and national oil companies, to the jurisdiction of Canada or the United States.



Title
to certain of our properties, or to properties we require for the development of the LNG Project, pipelines, common facilities
and the Condensate Stripping Project, may be defective or challenged by third party landowner claims, and landowner action may
impede access to or activity on those properties.



Some risk
exists that title to certain of our properties may be defective or subject to challenge. In particular, our properties or properties
we require in Papua New Guinea could be subject to native title or traditional landowner claims, which may deprive us of some
of our property rights that consequently may have a material adverse effect on our exploration and drilling operations and our
development projects. In particular, certain Special Purpose Leases have been granted in Papua New Guinea in past years which
have created uncertainty for landowners and other leaseholders such as us. A Commission of Inquiry has been conducted into the
grants of these Special Purpose Leases. There is no guarantee that the inquiry will be finalized by this time, that its findings
will be implemented, or that it will provide certainty to us in respect of our leased and licensed rights over certain lands upon
which we operate.



In addition,
landowner disturbances may occur on our properties which disrupt our business in Papua New Guinea.



The
implementation of new Papua New Guinean laws or the failure for permits and approvals under existing Papua New Guinean laws to
be granted in a timely fashion, may have a material adverse effect on our operations, developments, and financial condition.



Our operations
require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to drill wells, develop the LNG Project, pipelines and Condensate
Stripping Project, operate the refinery and market our refined products. We believe that we hold all necessary licenses and permits
required under applicable laws and regulations for our existing operations in Papua New Guinea and believe we will be able to
comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits based upon our current plans. However, such licenses
and permits are subject to change and there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary licenses
and permits that may be required to maintain our continued operations. Moreover, it is possible that new laws may be enacted in
Papua New Guinea (such as a limitation on foreign ownership of local assets) that may have a material adverse effect on our operations
and financial condition.

Additional
licenses and permits will be required to allow us to develop our Elk, Antelope and Triceratops discoveries, the LNG Project, pipelines
and the Condensate Stripping Project. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such licenses and permits in a
timely fashion or at all.



We are subject
to extensive laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management,
pollution prevention measures and the characteristics and composition of gasoline and diesel fuels. If we violate or fail to comply
with these laws and regulations, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned. Because environmental laws or regulations are increasingly
becoming more stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future
expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, environmental [emissions] laws and
permits may be an obstacle to the development of the LNG Project and the Condensate Stripping Project, while any major upgrades
to our refinery could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.



Our
refinery has not operated at full capacity since commencing operations and our profitability may be materially negatively affected
if it continues not to do so.



Our refinery
has never operated at full capacity for a full fiscal year, as our supplying all of Papua New Guinea’s domestic needs does
not require us to operate at such capacity. In addition, our ability to operate our refinery at its rated capacity must be considered
in light of the risks inherent in the operation of, and the difficulties, costs, complications and delays we face as the operator
of, a relatively small refinery. These risks include, without limitation, shortages and delays in the delivery of crude feedstocks
or equipment; contractual disagreements; labor shortages or disruptions; difficulties marketing our refined products; parallel
importation of refined products, political events; accidents; and unforeseen engineering, design or environmental problems. We
have been periodically unable to operate the catalytic reformer unit contained in our refinery which is necessary for us to produce
gasoline. If we cannot produce gasoline we must import it for our downstream operations. If these risks prevent us from operating
at full capacity in the future, our profitability may be negatively affected.



The Refinery
Project Agreement gives us certain rights to supply refined products to the domestic market in Papua New Guinea. Although
we operate the only domestic petroleum refinery in Papua New Guinea, not all domestic demand was sourced from our refinery
during 2012, and we believe some competing product has been imported and sold in Papua New Guinea, which we believe, is in contravention
of our rights.



Our refinery
is rated to process up to 36,500 barrels of oil per day. We are able to fulfill the domestic market in Papua New Guinea’s
demand for our products by refining approximately 24,000 barrels of crude oil per day. We are currently operating the refinery
at less than full capacity due to an inability to profitably export our refined products and as a result of competing imports
of finished products. Therefore, in order to process these additional barrels of crude feedstock, we must identify markets into
which we can sell our products profitably. The operating margins currently needed for our refinery to sell refined products profitably
and the cost and availability of obtaining tankers to export our refined products limit our ability to export our refined products
from Papua New Guinea. In addition, under our current refinery configuration we are unable to export diesel and gasoline to Australia
due to Australian regulations regarding permitted sulfur and benzene content that our refined products currently do not meet.



In addition,
the Refinery Project Agreement does not provide us with an exclusive right to supply the domestic market in Papua New Guinea.
Therefore, if one or more additional refineries are built in Papua New Guinea, our share of the domestic market will be diminished.



The
exploration and production, refining and distribution businesses are competitive.



We operate
in the highly competitive areas of hydrocarbon exploration and production, refining and distribution of refined products. A number
of our competitors have materially greater financial and other resources than we possess. Such competitors have a greater ability
to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of the industry.



In our exploration
and production business, we compete for the purchase of licenses from the State and the purchase of leases from other oil and
gas companies. Factors that affect our ability to compete in the marketplace include:

We also compete
with other oil and gas companies in Papua New Guinea for the labor and equipment needed to carry out our exploration operations
and assist us with development projects. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than
we have. In addition, larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in federal, state and local laws and
regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. These competitors may be able to pay
more for exploratory prospects and productive oil and gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase
a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Our ability to explore for oil and gas prospects and to acquire additional
properties in the future will depend on our ability to conduct operations, to evaluate and select suitable properties, and to
consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment. In addition, most of our competitors have been operating in the
oil and gas business for a much longer time than us and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.



In our refining
business, we compete with several companies for available supplies of crude oil and other feedstocks and for outlets for our refined
products. Many of our competitors obtain a significant portion of their feedstocks from company-owned production, which may enable
them to obtain feedstocks at a lower cost. In periods of constrained supply, we will have to
compete on the open market for supply which may not be readily available. The high cost of transporting goods to and from
Papua New Guinea reduces the availability of alternate fuel sources and retail outlets for our refined products. Competitors that
have their own production or extensive distribution networks are at times able to offset losses from refining operations with
profits from producing or retailing operations, and may be better positioned to withstand periods of depressed refining margins
or feedstock shortages. In addition, new technology is making refining more efficient, which could lead to lower prices and reduced
margins. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement new technologies in a timely basis or at a cost that is acceptable
to us.



The LNG Project
faces competition, including competing liquefaction facilities and related infrastructure, from competitors with far greater resources,
including major international energy companies. Many competing companies have secured access to, or are pursuing development or
acquisition of, liquefaction facilities to serve the same markets we intend to target. In addition, competitors have developed
or reopened additional liquefaction facilities in other international markets, which may also compete with the LNG Project. Almost
all of these competitors have longer operating histories, more development experience, greater name recognition, larger staffs
and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources and access to natural gas and LNG supplies than we do.
The superior resources that these competitors have available for deployment could allow them to compete successfully against our
LNG businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity
and prospects.



Our
downstream competitors have progressively increased their direct importation of refined petroleum products rather than sourcing
such products from our refinery.



During
2012, our competitors have imported refined petroleum products directly rather than sourcing such products from our refinery.
We believe that at least some of this competing product has been imported and distributed in Papua New Guinea in contravention
of our legal rights. Our competitors’ importation has had a negative effect on our business, if it continues or increases,
could materially affect our results from operations.



If
our refining margins do not meet our expectations, we may be required to write down the value of our refinery.



The determination
of our refinery’s fair market value is highly dependent upon the difference between the sale price we receive for refined
products that we produce and the cost of the crude feedstocks used to produce those refined products. This difference is commonly
referred to as refining margin. Volatile market conditions beyond our control could cause our refining margins and resulting cash
flows to fall below expectations for extended periods. Should this occur, the refinery will become impaired and we will be required
to write down the carrying value of our refinery on our balance sheet. Any significant write down of the value of our refinery
could result in our failure to meet the financial covenants under our outstanding loan agreements.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   43







The prices
we receive for the refined products we produce and sell are likely to continue to be subject to large fluctuations in response
to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These
factors include, but are not limited to, the condition of the worldwide economy, including the European sovereign debt crisis
and the downgrading of United States government debt, and the demand for and supply of oil, the actions of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulations, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, and the availability
of alternate fuel sources. Oil and gas markets are both seasonal and cyclical. The prices for oil will affect:

There
are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error that could seriously harm our business may occur
and not be detected.



A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
required regulations and guidelines, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.



A
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met.



Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Changes to our
internal controls, such as our implementation of a new enterprise resource and planning system in 2010 and 2011, may enhance the
likelihood of the occurrence of these events. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.



Our
operations expose us to risks, not all of which are insured.



Our operations
are subject to various hazards common to the industry, including explosions, fires, toxic emissions, maritime hazards and uncontrollable
flows of hydrocarbons and refined products. In addition, these operations are subject to hazards of loss from earthquakes, tsunamis
and severe weather conditions. As protection against operating hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all
of such potential losses. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates.
In addition, losses may exceed coverage limits. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain types of
insurance policies for refiners have increased substantially and could escalate further. In some instances, certain insurance
could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. For example, insurance carriers now require broad
exclusions for losses due to risk of war and terrorist acts. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not
fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   44







Third
parties may default on their contractual obligations.



In the normal
course of our business, we have entered into contractual arrangements with third parties which subject us to the risk that such
parties may default on their obligations. We may be exposed to third party credit risk through our contractual arrangements with
our current or future joint venture partners, lenders, customers and other parties. In the event such entities fail to meet their
contractual obligations to us, such failures could have a material adverse effect on us and our cash flow from operations.



Variable
rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase.



Certain of
our borrowings are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk and we may in the future borrow additional
money at variable rates. This exposes us to interest rate risk if interest rates increase, as our debt service obligations on
the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed would remain the same, and our net income would
decrease. A 1% change in interest rates in 2013 would have resulted in a $821,268 reduction in profit.



Weather
and unforeseen operating hazards may adversely impact our operating activities.



Our operations
are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil,
gas or well fluids, fires, equipment failures including damages to our wharf facilities, pollution, and other environmental risks.
These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and
equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. Our Papua New Guinea operations are subject
to a variety of additional operating risks such as earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, cyclones and other effects associated with
active volcanoes, extensive rainfall or other adverse weather conditions. Our operations could result in liability for personal
injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental
damages. For some risks, we may not obtain insurance if we believe the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the
risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. As a result, substantial liabilities
to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.



Significant
physical effects of climate change have the potential to damage our facilities, disrupt our production activities and cause us
to incur significant costs in preparing for or responding to those effects.



Climate change
could have an effect on the severity of weather (including hurricanes and floods), sea levels, the arability of farmland, and
water availability and quality. If such effects were to occur, our operations have the potential to be adversely affected. Potential
adverse effects could include (i) damages to our facilities from powerful winds or rising waters in low-lying areas, (ii) disruption
of our production activities either because of climate-related damage to our facilities [or because of increases in in our costs
of operation potentially arising from such climatic effects due to less efficient or non-routine operating practices necessitated
by climate effects or (iii) increased costs for insurance coverage in the aftermath of such effects. Significant physical effects
of climate change could also have an indirect effect on our financing and operations by disrupting the transportation or process-related
services provided by midstream companies, service companies or suppliers with whom we have a business relationship. We may not
be able to recover through insurance some or any of the damages, losses or costs that may result from potential physical effects
of climate change.



Compliance
with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact our business.



The laws
and regulations of Papua New Guinea regulate our current business.  Our operations could result in liability for personal
injuries, property damage, natural resource damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs
and other environmental damages.  Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative,
civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties and the issuance of orders enjoining operations. 
In addition, we could be liable for environmental damage caused by, among others things, previous property owners or operators. 
We could also be affected by more stringent laws and regulations adopted in the future, including those related to climate change
and greenhouse gases, resulting in increased operating costs.  As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third
parties or governmental entities, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations and liquidity. Additionally, more stringent greenhouse gas regulation could diminish demand for oil and gas.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   45













These laws and governmental regulations,
which cover matters including drilling, refining, liquefaction and gas stripping operations, and environmental protection,
may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions and could have a significant negative effect on
our operating costs.  While we believe that we are currently in compliance with environmental laws and regulations applicable
to our operations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with such environmental laws and regulations
without incurring substantial costs.



Our debt levels and debt covenants
and other factors may limit our future flexibility in obtaining additional financing.



As at December 31, 2012, we had a total
of $112.857 million in long-term debt with $100 million from the Syndicated Term Loan Facility which matures in 2017 and $12.857
million from Westpac Bank PNG which matures in 2015, together with principal repayments due during 2013 totaling $20.286 million.
We also operate significant working capital facilities with BNP Paribas, Bank of South Pacific Limited and Westpac Banking PNG
Limited, in the amounts of $240.0 million, $23.0 million and $42.0 million, respectively, for our midstream and downstream refining
businesses, and have $70.0 million principal amount of 2.75% senior convertible notes due 2015 on issue. The level of our indebtedness
will have important effects on our future operations, including:



| | · | A portion of our cash flow will be used to pay interest and principal on our debt and will not
be available for other purposes;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Our loan agreements and facilities contain financial tests which we must satisfy in order to avoid
a default under such credit facilities; and
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Our ability to obtain additional financing for capital expenditures and other purposes may be limited.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Substantial capital, which may not
be available to us in the future, is required for us to complete our business plans.



We make, and will continue to make, substantial
capital expenditures for exploration, development, acquisition and production of oil and gas reserves, our proposed liquefaction
facilities and other infrastructure associated with that proposed LNG Project, our Condensate Stripping Project, refinery expansions
and improvements, acquisitions of distribution assets, and for further capital acquisitions and expenses. We will need additional
financing to complete our business plans. If we are unable to obtain debt or equity financing because of lower operating returns,
lower oil or gas prices, delays, operating difficulties, construction costs, lack of drilling success, the status of global financial
and credit markets, or other reasons, we may not have the ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete future
drilling programs, fund development activities and to make other needed capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that additional
debt or equity financing or cash generated by operations will be available to meet these requirements.



We may be party to lawsuits
and other proceedings which may adversely affect our financial position or ability to pursue our business.



We
may be party to lawsuits and other proceedings that arise in the future. There is a risk that we will not be successful with respect
to the legal actions to which we are a party, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows, or in our ability to pursue our business strategy.



You may be unable to enforce
your legal rights against us.



We are a Yukon Territory, Canada Corporation.
Substantially all of our assets are located outside of Canada and the United States. It may be difficult for investors to enforce,
outside of Canada and the United States, judgments against us that are obtained in Canada or the United States in any such actions,
including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of Canada and the United States. In addition,
many of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of countries outside of Canada and the United States, and all, or
a substantial portion of, the assets of such persons are located outside of Canada and the United States. As a result, it may be
difficult for investors to affect service of process within Canada or the United States upon such persons or to enforce judgments
against them obtained in Canadian or United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of
the securities laws of Canada or the United States.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   46







Future sales of our common
shares may adversely affect the price of our Shares.



We believe
that substantially all of our common shares currently outstanding, and common shares issued in the future upon the exercise of
outstanding options, vesting of restricted stock units and upon conversion of the IPI percentage interest, will be freely tradable
under the US federal securities laws, subject to certain limitations. These limitations include vesting provisions in option and
restricted stock unit agreements and volume and manner-of-sale restrictions under Rule 144 of the US Securities Act. Any sale of
a substantial number of our common shares into the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely
affect the prevailing market price of our common shares.



We have never declared or paid
dividends on our common shares and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.



We have
never paid cash dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares in the
foreseeable future. We currently plan to invest all available funds and future earnings into the operation and growth of our business.
Our ability to make dividend payments in the future will depend on our future performance and liquidity.



DIVIDENDS



To date we have not paid dividends on our
common shares and currently reinvest all cash flows from operations for the future operation and development of our business. No
change to this policy or approach is intended or under consideration at the present date. There are no restrictions which prevent
us from paying dividends on our common shares. Any decision to pay dividends on our common shares in the future depend upon our
earnings and financial position (including the effect on financial ratios and covenants with our lenders) and such other factors
as the Board may consider appropriate in the circumstances.



DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE



InterOil is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, of which 1,035,554 series A preferred
shares are authorized. As at December 31, 2012, 48,607,398 common shares were issued and outstanding. All of the series A preferred
shares that had been issued were converted into common shares during 2008 and none remain outstanding as at December 31, 2012.
We also have outstanding $70.0 million principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2015.



Common Shares



Holders of common shares
are entitled to one vote per share held at any meeting of our shareholders, to receive, out of all profits or surplus available
for dividends, any dividends declared by us on the common shares, and to receive our remaining property in the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.



Preferred Shares



Preferred shares may
at any time and from time to time be issued in one or more series, each series to consist of such number of shares as may, before
the issue thereof, be determined by unanimous resolution of our directors. Subject to the provisions of the YBCA, the Board may
by unanimous resolution fix from time to time, before the issue thereof, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and
conditions attaching to each series of the preferred shares.



2.75% Convertible Senior Notes



We currently have outstanding $70.0 million
principal amount of 2.75% convertible senior notes due November 2015. The convertible notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
of InterOil Corporation. The convertible notes rank junior to any secured indebtedness and to all existing and future liabilities
of our subsidiaries, including the BNP Paribas working capital facility, the Syndicated Term Loan facility, the Mitsui preliminary
financing agreement, trade payables and lease obligations.



Annual Information Form   INTEROIL CORPORATION   47







We pay interest semi-annually on May 15
and November 15. The notes are convertible into cash or common shares, based on an initial conversion rate of 10.4575 common shares
per $1,000 principal amount, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $95.625 per common share. The initial
conversion price is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions designed to maintain the value of the conversion option in the
event we take certain actions with respect to our common shares, such as stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and
cash dividends, that affect all of the holders of our common shares equally and that could have a dilutive effect on the value
of the conversion rights of the holders of the notes or that confer a benefit upon our current shareholders not otherwise available
to the convertible notes. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash, common shares or a combination thereof, at our option. The
convertible notes are redeemable at our option if our share price has been at least 125% ($119.53 per share) of the conversion
price for at least 15 trading days during any 20 consecutive trading day period. Upon a fundamental change, which would include
a change of control, holders may require us to repurchase their convertible notes for cash at a purchase price equal to the principal
amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.



Shareholder Rights Plan



On May 27, 2007, we adopted a rights plan
which was approved by our shareholders at the June 25, 2007 annual and special meeting of shareholders. The rights plan was re-confirmed
with certain minor amendments by our shareholders at the June 22, 2010 annual and special meeting of shareholders. The rights plan
was adopted to ensure, to the extent possible, that all shareholders of the Company are treated fairly in connection with any take-over
bid for us. As long as a bid meets certain requirements intended to protect the interests of all shareholders, the provisions of
the rights plan will not be invoked. Under the provisions of the rights plan, one right has been issued for each common share of
InterOil outstanding. The rights will trade together with the common shares and will not be separable from the common shares or
exercisable unless a take-over bid is made which is not a permitted bid. The rights entitle shareholders, other than shareholders
making the take-over bid, to purchase additional common shares at a substantial discount to the market price at the time. Phil
Mulacek, our Chief Executive Officer, holds a large proportion of our common shares of InterOil and, subject to certain grandfather
provisions in the rights plan, his shareholdings will not trigger its operation.



The rights plan is similar to those adopted
by other Canadian listed companies. A copy of the rights plan is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.



Options



Our 2009 Stock Incentive
Plan, authorised by our shareholders at the annual and special meeting held on June 19, 2009, that allows employees to acquire
our common shares. Option exercise prices are governed by the plan rules and equal the market price for the common shares on the
date the options were granted. Options granted under the plan are generally fully exercisable after one year or more and expire
five years after the grant date, although some have shorter vesting periods. Default provisions in the plan rules provide for immediate
vesting of granted options and expiry ten years after the grant date. Some options granted under a predecessor plan approved in
2006 also remain in effect. No further grants may now be made under this superseded 2006 plan.



As of December 31, 2012,
there were options outstanding to purchase 1,066,067 common shares pursuant to our stock incentive plans.



Restricted Stock Units



In addition to the options
noted above, our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan also allows employees to acquire our common shares pursuant to restricted stock unit
grants. As of December 31, 2012, restricted stock units entitling employees rights to 153,484 common shares were outstanding pursuant
to our stock incentive plans. The restricted stock units provided those employees with the right to receive common shares on a
one-for-one basis on certain vesting dates. Vesting dates generally occur one, two and/or more years after grant.

dated July 30, 2007



The shareholders’ agreement dated
July 30, 2007 by and between InterOil LNG Holdings Inc., Merrill Lynch PNG LNG Corporation (“Merrill Lynch”) and Pac
LNG (the “Shareholders”) provided for the establishment and governance of PNG LNG with respect to the LNG Project described
in more detail under the heading “Description of the Business– Midstream - Liquefaction”. The
agreement sets out the rights and obligations of the Shareholders and the terms governing their relationship and provides that
the authorized share capital structure of PNG LNG is to be made up of Class A Shares and Class B Shares. No other classes of shares
may be issued. Only holders of Class A Shares have voting rights and the right to appoint directors to the board of PNG LNG. Class
B shares recognize the holders’ economic interests in the PNG LNG and in the LNG Project. This agreement allows for the admission
of one or more strategic investors as Class A and/or B shareholders subject to the prior approval of each existing Shareholder.
The agreement also allows for the State to elect to purchase up to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares in Liquid Niugini Gas
Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of PNG LNG).



Pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale and
Settlement Agreement among the shareholders dated February 27, 2009 under which we and Pac LNG acquired all of Merrill’s
interest in the PNG LNG, Merrill retains no ongoing economic interest, legal rights or involvement in the LNG Project. A revised
version of this shareholders agreement is still to be agreed to, to respond to that significant change, and to reflect other changes
to the relationship between Pac LNG and we and to the proposed structure of the LNG Project.



Refinery Project Agreement



On May 29, 1997, we entered into a project
agreement with the State under which we agreed to construct and operate a refinery in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The project
agreement expires on January 31, 2035. In the project agreement, the State has agreed to use its best efforts to enable us to purchase
sufficient crude oil produced in Papua New Guinea for the refinery to run at full capacity. If necessary, these efforts would include
proposing legislation and issuing executive orders or policy directives. In addition, the government of Papua New Guinea has agreed
that future agreements between Papua New Guinea and producers of oil in Papua New Guinea will contain provisions requiring such
producers to sell oil produced in Papua New Guinea to local refineries to meet Papua New Guinea’s requirements for refined
petroleum products. The purchase price for this oil will be the prevailing fair market price of such oil at the time of purchase.
The Refinery Project Agreement also provides that the State will take all actions necessary to ensure that local distributors of
petroleum products in Papua New Guinea purchase such product first and foremost from the local refinery at the IPP.  In general,
the IPP represents the equivalent price that would be paid in Papua New Guinea for a refined product if it were imported. 
For each refined product produced and sold locally in Papua New Guinea, the IPP was originally calculated by adding the costs that
would typically be incurred to import such product to the average Posted Price for such product in Singapore as reported by Platts. 
The costs that are added to the reported Platts’ price include freight costs, insurance costs, landing charges, losses incurred
in the transportation of refined products, demurrage and taxes.  This pricing model has since been jointly reviewed by the
State and us due to the cessation of Singapore Posted Prices.  The basis of calculating IPP price was revised in November
2007 to an interim agreement and then amended in June 2008 to a modified IPP formula by changing the benchmark price for each refined
product from ‘Singapore Posted Prices’, which is no longer being updated, to MOPS, which is the interim benchmark price
for refined products in the Asia Pacific region, plus an agreed premium.  The project agreement provides that, until December
31, 2010, income from the refinery will not be taxed.

BNP-lead Syndicated Term Loan
Facility Agreement



A Syndicated Term Loan Facility Agreement
was entered into on 16 October 2012 pursuant to which an $100 million loan from a syndicated group of three banks, namely BNP
Paribas, BSP and Australian New Zealand Banking Group PNG Limited, was lent to EP InterOil Limited and InterOil Limited, subsidiaries
of ours. There was a one-time disbursement of the loan on November 9, 2012 after fulfillment of all conditions precedent in accordance
with the facility agreement. The funds were used to refinance the OPIC Loan and intercompany balances and for other general corporate
purposes. The loan is secured by all of our refinery’s capital assets and an InterOil parent guarantee, which will continue
for the life of the loan. The loan matures on October 15, 2017 and requires semi-annual principal payments of 8% to 12% of the
loan principal amount and interest which can be selectively quarterly or semi-annually payments.



Farm-In Agreement by PRE



On July 27, 2012, we entered into a farm-in
agreement (and certain related agreements) with PRE under which we agreed to farm out to an affiliate of PRE a net ten percent
(10%) revenue interest in PPL 237, in exchange for certain cash payments and work carry obligations. The license interest
assigned to PRE was grossed up to a 12.903226% working interest to account for the potential exercise by the State of its statutory
right to back-in to a 22.5% net revenue interest in any petroleum project based on a PDL granted over the area comprised in the
license under certain conditions. Cash amounts are divided among an initial cash payment of US$116 million and a resource payment
payable out of net sales proceeds of production, in each case subject to satisfaction of standard terms and conditions. As of December
31, 2012, US$20 million in cash had been paid on a nonrefundable basis and an additional US$20 million in cash had been advanced
by PRE against the US$96 million balance due in cash at completion. A second advance of US$20 million was requested in December
2012 payable in January 2013. PRE has also agreed to an additional carry for a work program involving up to seven (7) appraisal
wells in the Triceratops field located within PPL 237 and at least four (4) exploration wells in other structures in PPL 237.
PRE has the right to withdraw from its interest in PPL 237 and related work carry obligations under certain conditions. In
that event, up to US$96 million of the initial cash payment would be refunded to PRE from net sales proceeds of production from
our interest in PRL 15. If for any reason such sales proceeds were insufficient to repay the full amount after six years,
we would be required to repay the balance from corporate funds.



All other contracts entered or still in
effect during 2012 were done so in the ordinary course of our business or were not material to us.



Each of the above material agreements have
been filed on SEDAR and are available through the SEDAR website at, www.sedar.com.
