EVALUATION
OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



The
term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
This term refers to the controls and procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”)
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



2







Under
the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.



MANAGEMENT’S
ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING



Responsibility



The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.



Inherent
Limitations



Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of a change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



Assessment



Management,
with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, using the criteria set forth in the
framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission entitled Internal Controls —
Integrated Framework (1992). Based on this assessment, the Company’s management determined that the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.



Management's
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited
by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report included on
page 2of the consolidated financial statements in
this Annual Report on Form 40-F.



CHANGES
IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING



There
have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during fiscal year 2013 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

COMMITTEE



The Audit Committee
of the Company’s Board of Directors is comprised of Mr. Roger Lewis, Dr. Gaylen Byker and Mr. Samuel Delcamp. The Board
of Directors has affirmatively determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and is an independent
director for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange rules applicable to members of the audit committee. Additionally, the Board
of Directors has determined that Mr. Lewis has the accounting or financial management expertise to be considered a “financial
expert” as defined by the final rules approved by the Commission implementing the requirements set forth in Section 407
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.



The Commission has
indicated that the designation or identification of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" does not (i) mean
that such person is an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations
and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and the board of directors in the absence of such designation
or identification, or (iii) affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or the board
of directors.



CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS
CONDUCT



The Company’s
Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which applies to all directors, officers and employees of
the Company. The Board has not granted any waivers to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Code of Ethics and Business
Conduct is accessible on the Company’s website at http://www.interoil.com/governance.asp. Any amendment to or waiver of
the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
principal accounting officer or controller will also be posted on the Company’s website. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 2013, there were no waivers, including implicit waivers, granted from any provision of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
that applied to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller,
or persons performing similar functions.

disclosure
required by new york stock exchange



The Company is classified
as a “foreign private issuer” in connection with its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
As a result, many of the governance rules of the NYSE that apply to U.S. domestic companies do not apply to the Company. However,
as a Canadian public company, the Company has in place a system of corporate governance practices that meets Canadian requirements.



Additionally, the
NYSE listing standards require foreign private issuers to make certain corporate governance disclosures, including disclosure
of any significant differences between its governance practices and the NYSE governance rules. The following is the NYSE required
disclosure:



5







Presiding Director
at Meetings of Non-Management Directors.Section 303A.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires “non-management
directors” to schedule regular executive sessions without members of management present. “Non-management directors”
are defined in Section 303A.03 as all directors who are not executive officers. The Company schedules executive sessions on a
regular basis in which the Company's non-management directors meet without management participation. Dr. Gaylen Byker serves as
the presiding director (the “Presiding Director”) at such sessions. The Board of Directors is responsible
for determining whether or not each director is independent. The Board of Directors has adopted the director independence standards
contained in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual for the purposes of satisfying the NYSE’s applicable
governance requirements.



Communication with
Non-Management Directors. Shareholders may send communications to the Company's non-management directors by writing to the
Presiding Director, c/o Geoff Applegate, Corporate Secretary, InterOil Corporation, 111 Somerset Road, #06-05 Tripleone Somerset,
Singapore 238164, Telephone: +65 6507 0222. Communications will be referred to the Presiding Director for appropriate action.
The status of all outstanding concerns addressed to the Presiding Director will be reported to the Board of Directors as appropriate.



Audit Committee.
Section 303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires listed companies to have an audit committee composed entirely of independent
directors. The Company has established an Audit Committee composed entirely of directors who qualify as independent under the
requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and Section 303A.07 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The Company also complies
with Canadian Multilateral Instrument 52-110-Audit Committees, which sets out detailed requirements regarding the composition
of the Audit Committee and its responsibilities.



Corporate Governance
Guidelines. According to Section 303A.09 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, a listed company must adopt and disclose a set
of corporate governance guidelines with respect to specified topics. Such guidelines are required to be posted on the listed company’s
website. The Company operates under corporate governance principles that are consistent with the requirements of Section 303A.09
of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, many of which are described under the heading “Statement of Corporate Governance Practice”
in the Company’s Annual Information Circular. However, the Company has not codified its corporate governance principles
into formal guidelines.



Shareholder Meeting
Quorum Requirement. The NYSE governance rules do not contain a minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting, but gives
careful consideration to provisions in a listed company’s by-laws that fixes a quorum for a shareholders’ meeting
at less than a majority of the outstanding shares. The Company’s quorum requirement is set forth in its By-Laws. A quorum
for a meeting of shareholders is present, irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the meeting, if the holder
or holders of five percent (5%) of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or represented by proxy.



Proxy Delivery
Requirement. The NYSE requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings,
and requires that these proxies shall be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to the Commission’s proxy
rules. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and the equity securities
of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange
Act. The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

Board Committee
Mandates. The mandates of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Reserves Committee and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee are each available for viewing on the Company’s website at www.interoil.com/governance.asp,
