2019 Highlights:
-- In Trinidad, the focus continued on low cost production
activities, as well as completion of infrastructure modernisation,
FDP on the Beach Marcelle licence, and new exploration studies on
the St Mary's licence;
-- Net proved and probable reserves (2P) of 15.0 MMbbl and net
contingent resources 2C (P50) of 12.9 MMboe largely unchanged from
FY2018;
-- Subsequent to the year end, the Company signed an SPA with
LandOcean for the sale of Range Resources Trinidad Limited in
exchange for offsetting all outstanding debt and payables (US$91.5
million as at 30 June 2019) and a cash consideration of US$2.5
million, subject to shareholders' approvals and Trinidad government
approvals;
-- Revenues of US$12.4 million (FY2018: US$13.1 million) on
production of 538 bopd (FY 2018: 650 bopd) and realised oil price
of US$59.1 / barrel (FY 2018: US$54.4 / barrel);
-- Net impairment charge against Trinidad and Indonesia of
US$30.2 million (as reported at half-year for the period ended 31
December 2018), with no further impairment recorded on these assets
at year-end;
-- Net loss after tax of US$49.5 million mainly due to the
impairment (FY2018: loss of US$17.5 million); and
-- Cash balance of US$1.8 million (FY2018: US$3.9 million). To
improve the balance sheet and preserve the existing cash position,
a GBP1 million equity placement was completed, as well as an

note by way of issuance new ordinary shares. Subsequent to the year
end, a GBP0.75 million subscription was completed and a VAT refund
of US$1.03 million received.
Range's Chairman, Zhiwei Gu, commented:
"During the year, our main focus has been on securing debt
restructuring agreements that would allow us to restore the
Company's financial health, increase liquidity and improve
shareholder sentiment. I am delighted that (subsequent to the year
end) our efforts have been rewarded with the signing of a milestone
agreement with LandOcean, which will allow the Company to be
completely debt-free and have sufficient cash resources to progress
with new opportunities. Our aim for the remainder of 2019 (calendar
year) is to secure the necessary approvals to complete this
transformative transaction. As part of a wider strategy, we are
continuing to evaluate attractive acquisition targets and exploring
options in respect of the drilling business in Trinidad. Having
successfully delivered on our agenda with a positive outcome for
all stakeholders, the Company's future looks very exciting. I look
forward to reporting on our progress in the upcoming months."

Nature of operations and principal activities

Trinidad.
+ Operational Review
TRINIDAD
Production
The Group's oil and gas production for the financial year was
196,651 barrels (average of 538 bopd) net to Range, which is a 17%
decrease in production from the previous year (FY 2018: 650 bopd).
Production activities comprised low-cost workovers, reactivation
and swabbing activities on the existing wells.
The Company had been facing challenges in maintaining production
rates at consistent levels largely due to the limitations
associated with the infrastructure at the Beach Marcelle field. To
provide a greater resilience in the production infrastructure, the
Company completed infrastructure modernisation programme at the
field including installation of two new 500-barrel settling tanks
and a new 1000-barrel storage tank.
Beach Marcelle waterflood and field development plan
Over the last few years, Range had been conducting waterflood
operations over some parts of the Beach Marcelle field, with
average reported waterflood production from the field during the
year of 135 bopd.
Range in combination with independent consulting groups Rockflow
Resources Ltd and Petrofac Facilities Management Ltd., completed a
full Field Development Plan ("FDP") for the further development of
the Beach Marcelle licence. The main objective of the FDP was to
identify options for expanding waterflood operations over larger
areas of the field, and increasing future production rates and
reserves. The subsurface part of the study also identified areas
where there could be considerable volumes of oil that has not yet
been properly appraised or produced by primary depletion.
Geological tool studies
The Company acquired a new geological tool to undertake studies
on its fields that are expected to significantly enhance subsurface
understanding, and assist in identifying shallow reservoirs and
economic well locations. Preparations of subsurface geological data
surveys had been ongoing.
St Mary's exploration studies
Range in combination with LEAP Energy Partners Sdn. Bhd, an
independent subsurface consultancy, completed new exploration
studies on the licence. The objective of these studies was to
assess the work scope required to convert various leads into
drillable prospects and to establish a future work plan. The study
targeted seven main prospects, at differing reservoir horizons (all
producing at nearby fields), and with different potential volumes
and levels of risk. The study suggests the potential, for each
prospect, of reprocessing some of the seismic data, adding further
2D lines as necessary, and comparing the existing log data with the
analogue producing fields nearby.
Oilfield services
During the year, RRDSL was awarded a new contract with
Touchstone Exploration Trinidad Limited, a subsidiary of Touchstone
Exploration Inc ("Touchstone"). Under the work scope of the
contract, RRDSL provided turnkey services for drilling one well on
Touchstone's onshore WD8 block in Trinidad. The drilling operations
were safely completed. RRDSL also continued to provide swabbing
services on a regular basis to another onshore operator in
Trinidad.
Given challenges at winning new contracts, the Company
identified the need to reduce the costs of RRDSL's services and
improve its competitiveness. As a result, the Company initiated a
corporate restructuring of RRDSL, which resulted in decrease in
headcount by 23% during the year.
Indonesia
Despite continued efforts by the operator of the project to
establish production from the field during the year, no continuous,
sustained production had been achieved. The Company made a decision
to write off the value of its investment in Indonesia (as reported
in the half-yearly report for the period ended 31 December 2018).
The Company is not intending to invest any material further sums
into this project and is exploring opportunities to dispose of its
interest.
CORPORATE
Debt restructuring
On 18 March 2019, Range entered into debt restructuring
agreements with LandOcean Energy Services Co. Ltd ("LandOcean")
conditional on Range completing an acquisition of an interest in a
pre-school educational business operating in China. Subsequent to
the year end, Range announced that despite continued efforts the
Company was not able to agree binding acquisition terms that would
be in the best interest of the Company's shareholders, and the
Board made a decision to terminate the acquisition. As a result,
the debt restructuring agreements announced on 18 March 2019 were
also terminated.
On 3 September 2019, Range announced that it signed a binding
conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with LandOcean for the sale
of Range Resources Trinidad Limited ("RRTL") (the "SPA") in
exchange for (i) offsetting all outstanding debt and payables
(including the convertible note) due from Range and its
subsidiaries to LandOcean and its subsidiaries, and (ii) a cash
consideration of US$2.5 million (the "Transaction"). RRTL holds
interests in all of Range's oil and gas licences in Trinidad
(onshore), namely Morne Diablo, South Quarry, Beach Marcelle (where
RRTL holds a 100% interest), and St Mary's (where RRTL holds an 80%
interest).
On completion, all outstanding debt from Range and its
subsidiaries to LandOcean and its subsidiaries (including the US$20
million convertible note) will be fully repaid by offsetting
against the consideration and all underlying debt agreements will
be terminated. From the date of signing the SPA and up to the
completion date, all payables by Range to LandOcean under any
underlying debt agreements will be deferred. The maturity date of
the US$20 million convertible note will change to the earlier of
the date on which completion occurs under the SPA or the longstop
date (being 30 June 2020). As part of the agreements, LandOcean
undertakes not to issue a conversion notice.
Completion of the SPA is subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of
the following key conditions:
-- Approval by Range shareholders at General Meeting of the
Company, as the Transaction would be a material disposal falling
under AIM Rule 15 and the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act
2001 (Cth), expected to be held in November 2019;
-- Approval by LandOcean shareholders at General Meeting of
LandOcean, expected to be held at the end of October 2019; and
-- Approvals by the government of Trinidad and Tobago.
GBP1m subscription
During the year, the Company completed a subscription for new
ordinary shares to raise GBP1 million before expenses.
GBP0.75 million subscription
Subsequent to the year end, the Company completed a subscription
for new ordinary shares to raise GBP750,000.
As part of the subscription, the investor can nominate up to two
non-executive directors to the Board of the Company and shall
retain this ability for so long as it holds 10% or more of the
Company's shares in issue.
Convertible note interest payment
The Company completed an agreement with LandOcean to pay the
annual interest payment of US$1.6 million under the US$20 million
convertible note by way of issuance new ordinary shares in the
Company. Following approval at the General Meeting, the Company
issued 1,739,076,923 new ordinary shares to LandOcean.
Colombia legacy matter concluded
The court in Colombia approved the decision to settle all
outstanding historic claims and disputes between Agencia Nacional
de Hidrocarburos ("ANH") and the consortium of Optima Oil
Corporation and the Company (the "Consortium"). ANH confirmed that
Range (and the Consortium) has no liability for any payments or
debts and all proposed penalties had been lifted. The Consortium
agreed to waive all potential claims against ANH and to the
termination of the exploration licences.
Georgia
Range submitted a Notice of Arbitration against the State of
Georgia in respect of the wrongful termination of the production
sharing contract over Block VIA dated 29 March 2007 in Georgia.
Range also signed an agreement to acquire Georgian Oil Pty Ltd,
which is a 20% interest holder in Strait Oil and Gas ("SOG") for a
nominal upfront sum. Following completion which occurred in October
2018, Range holds a 65% interest in SOG.
Director and management changes
Dr Mu (Robin) Luo was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of
the Company.
Mr Yan Liu and Dr Yi Zeng tendered their resignations as Chief
Executive Officer & Executive Director and Non-Executive
Director, respectively. Subsequent to the year end, Ms Juan Wang
tendered her resignation as Non-Executive Director of the
Company.
Mr Nick Beattie tendered his resignation as Chief Financial
Officer ("CFO") and Joint Company Secretary. Mr Theo Eleftheriades,
the Group Financial Controller assumed the role of Acting CFO and

assumed the role of Joint Company Secretary, both with effect from
1 April 2019.
Significant changes in the state of affairs

this report.
Significant events after the reporting date
Debt restructuring
Subsequent to the year end, Range announced that it was unable
to reach terms for the binding agreement to acquire an interest in
a pre-school educational business operating in China. Since debt
restructuring agreements announced on 18 March 2019 were
conditional on Range completing this acquisition, those were also
terminated.
On 3 September 2019, Range announced that it signed a binding
conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with LandOcean for the sale
of Range Resources Trinidad Limited ("RRTL") (the "SPA") in
exchange for (i) offsetting all outstanding debt and payables
(including the convertible note) due from Range and its
subsidiaries to LandOcean and its subsidiaries, and (ii) a cash
consideration of US$2.5 million (the "Transaction"). RRTL holds
interests in all of Range's oil and gas licences in Trinidad
(onshore), namely Morne Diablo, South Quarry, Beach Marcelle (where
RRTL holds a 100% interest), and St Mary's (where RRTL holds an 80%
interest).
On completion, all outstanding debt from Range and its
subsidiaries to LandOcean and its subsidiaries (including the US$20
million convertible note) will be fully repaid by offsetting
against the consideration and all underlying debt agreements will
be terminated. From the date of signing the SPA and up to the
completion date, all payables by Range to LandOcean under any
underlying debt agreements will be deferred. The maturity date of
the US$20 million convertible note will change to the earlier of
the date on which completion occurs under the SPA or the longstop
date (being 30 June 2020). As part of the agreements, LandOcean
undertakes not to issue a conversion notice.
Completion of the SPA is subject to satisfaction (or waiver) of
the following key conditions:
-- Approval by Range shareholders at General Meeting of the
Company, as the Transaction would be a material disposal falling
under AIM Rule 15 and the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act
2001 (Cth), expected to be held in November 2019;
-- Approval by LandOcean shareholders at General Meeting of
LandOcean, expected to be held at the end of October 2019; and
-- Approvals by the government of Trinidad and Tobago.
GBP0.75 million subscription
Subsequent to the year end, the Company completed a subscription
for new ordinary shares to raise GBP0.75 million. As part of the
subscription, the investor can nominate up to two non-executive

for so long as it holds 10% or more of the Company's shares in
issue.
Director resignation

of the Company, effective 22 July 2019.
Likely developments and expected results of operations

Corporate governance
In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate
behaviour and accountability, the Directors of Range Resources
Limited support and have adhered to the principles of sound
corporate governance. The Board recognises the recommendations of
the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council,
and considers that the Company complies to the extent possible with

The total value of non-audit services provided by a related
practice of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd in respect to the Company's tax
compliance is US$15,500 (2018: US$17,010).
The board of directors has considered the position and is
satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied
that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor did not
compromise the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
1. all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board to
ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the
auditor; and
2. none of the services undermine the general principles
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants.

Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of Range has been designed to align
director and executive objectives with shareholder and business
objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering
specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas
affecting the Group's financial results. The Board of Range
Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the
best executives and directors to run and manage the Group, as well
as create alignment of goals between directors, executives and
shareholders.
The Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of
remuneration for Board members and senior executives of the Company
is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for
the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed
and approved by the Board.
Non-executive directors, executive directors and senior
executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as
length of service and experience), which is calculated on a total
cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee
benefits including motor vehicles, as well as employer
contributions to superannuation funds where applicable.
Executive and non-executive directors can be employed by the
Company on a consultancy basis on Board approval, with remuneration
and terms stipulated in individual consultancy agreements.
The Board exercises its discretion in determining remuneration
performance of executives. Given the size and nature of the entity,
the Board does not deem it to be realistic to measure performance
against defined criteria. As such remuneration and performance have
historically not been linked.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at
the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to directors and
executives are valued as the difference between the market price of
those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive.
Unlisted options are valued using the Black-Scholes
methodology.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at
market rates for comparable companies taking into consideration
time, commitment and level of responsibility. As approved by
shareholders on 30 November 2011, the aggregate non-executive
remuneration per annum is currently A$350,000 (US$260,555). Fees
for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of
the Group. The directors are not required to hold any shares in the
Company under the Constitution of the Company; however, to align
directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are
encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Options may be issued to directors and executives as part of
remuneration. Options issued to directors historically were not
based on performance criteria. However, the options issued to the
current directors on 27 March 2015 and the Key Management Personnel
on 1 September 2015 and November 2016, principally vest upon
satisfaction of set company performance criteria detailed in Note
29.
Under the Company's share trading policy, all employees and
directors of the Company and its related companies are prohibited
from trading in the Company's shares or other securities if they
are in possession of inside information.
The Board believes that it has implemented suitable practices
and procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of this
size and maturity.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors and
executive's remuneration
No relationship exists between shareholder wealth, director and
executive remuneration and Company performance.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2018 Annual General
Meeting
Range Resources Limited received 98% of "yes" votes on its
remuneration report for the 2018 financial year. The Board believes
that this reflects the conservative remuneration practices of the
company.

+ Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Significant accounting policies
These financial statements are general purpose financial
statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards
Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Range Resources Limited is a
for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial
statements.
The financial statements cover the Group consisting of Range
Resources Limited and its controlled entities. Financial
information for Range Resources Limited as an individual entity is
disclosed in Note 31. Range Resources Limited is a listed public
company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies
adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial
statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied,
unless otherwise stated. The financial report was authorised for
issue by the Directors on 27 September 2019.
Basis of preparation
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of
financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant
and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Compliance with IFRS
The financial statements of Range Resources Limited also comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The
financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27
September 2019.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (the "Functional
Currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in
United States Dollars (USD), which is Range Resources Limited's
functional and presentation currency.
Going concern
This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which
contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group recorded a loss of
US$46,283,298 (2018: US$17,530,237) and had net cash outflows of
US$2,051,658 (2018: cash outflows of US$13,356,201).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is
dependent on securing additional funding through the issue of
shares and/or debt to fund its activities and the conclusion of the
sale of Range Resources Trinidad Limited to LandOcean as described
in Note 7 which will subsequently result to its debt
restructuring.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a
significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
On 19 September 2019 the Group completed a subscription
agreement to raise GBP750,000 which will provide the flexibility
for additional working capital. At the reporting date, Range had
US$880,861 of unrestricted cash at bank.
Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the
Group's working capital requirements as at the date of this
report.
The Company is currently seeking other opportunities to further
expand its operations in other geographic locations.
Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern,
it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its
liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at
amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue
as a going concern.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has applied the following standards for the first time
for their reporting period commencing 1 July 2018:
-- AASB 9 Financial Instruments ("AASB 9"); and
-- AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("AASB 15").
AASB 9 financial instruments
-- AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces the provisions of AASB
139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement that relate
to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial
assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial
instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting;
and
-- The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018
resulted in changes in accounting policies but did not give rise to
any material transitional adjustments. The new accounting policies
(applicable from 1 July 2018) are set out below.
Classification and measurement
Except for certain trade receivables the Group initially
measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss,
transaction costs.
Under AASB 9 financial assets are subsequently measured at fair
value through profit or loss (FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value
through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is
based on two criteria: the Group's business model for managing the
assets; and whether the instruments' contractual cash flows
represent 'solely payments of principal and interest' on the
principal amount outstanding (the 'SPPI criterion').
The new classification and measurement of the Group's financial
assets are, as follows:
-- Debt instruments at amortised cost, for financial assets that
are held within a business model with the objective to hold the
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that
meet the 'SPPI criterion'. This category includes the Group's trade
and other receivables and long term other receivables; and
-- Financial assets at FVPL comprise debt instruments whose cash
flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within
a business model whose objective is either to collect contractual
cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell.
On transition to AASB 9 the assessment of the Group's business
models was made as of the date of initial application, 1 July 2018.
The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt
instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made
based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition
of the assets.
Impairment
From 1 July 2018 the group assesses on a forward looking basis
the expected credit losses (ECLs) associated with its debt
instruments carried at amortised cost. ECLs are based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance
with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to
receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to
the asset's original effective interest rate.
For trade receivables the group has applied the standard's
simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime
expected credit losses. The Group has established a provision
matrix that is based on the Group's historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the
debtors and the economic environment.
For long term receivables, the ECL is based on either the
12-month or lifetime ECL. The 12-month ECL is the portion of
lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial
instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting
date. When there has been a significant increase in credit risk
since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL.
In all cases, the Group considers that there has been a significant
increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 90
days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when
contractual payment are 180 days past due. However, in certain
cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in
default when internal or external information indicates that the
Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in
full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the
Group.
On the above basis, the results of applying the ECL was not
material and no loss allowance was recognised.
AASB 15 revenue from contracts with customers
The Group has adopted AASB 15 with a date of initial application
of 1 July 2018. As a result of adoption of AASB 15, the Group has
changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed
below:
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a
contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf
of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers
control over a product or service to a customer.
Impact of adoption of AASB 15
The Group has determined that the application of AASB 15's
requirements at transition 1 July 2018 did not result in any
adjustment.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and
liabilities of all subsidiaries of Range Resources Limited ("Parent
Entity" or "Company") as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all
subsidiaries for the year then ended. Range Resources Limited and
its subsidiaries together are referred to as the "Group".
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose
entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of
the entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during
the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from
the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. A
list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the
financial statements. All controlled entities have a 30 June
financial year-end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in
the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses have been
eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with
those policies applied by the Group.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant
influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying
a shareholding of between 20-50% of the voting rights. Investments
in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial
statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially
being recognised at cost.
(b) Income tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit
for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items.
It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are
substantively enacted by the reporting date within each
jurisdiction.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial
statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled. Deferred tax is credited in profit or loss except where it
relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which
case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it
is probable that future tax profits will be available against which
deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for
temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of
investments in foreign operations where the company is able to
control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and
it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same
taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset
where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be
realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse
change will occur in income taxation legislation and the
anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply
with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Owned assets
Plant and equipment are measured on the historical cost basis
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Group includes
the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit
or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Oil and gas assets
These properties represent the accumulation of all exploration,
evaluation and development expenditure, pre-production development
costs and ongoing costs of continuing the develop reserves for
production incurred by or on behalf of the entity in relation to
areas of interests.
Where further development expenditure is incurred in respect of
a property after the commencement of production, such expenditure
is carried forward as part of the cost of that property only when
expected future economic benefits are to be received, otherwise
such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of
production.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised
lease assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their
useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is
held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset
are:
Class of fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant & equipment 11.25% - 33%
==================
Production equipment 10 - 20%
==================
Motor vehicles, furniture &
fixtures 25 - 33%
==================
Leasehold improvements 10 - 12.50%
==================
The residual values of the assets and their useful lives are
reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each reporting date.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually
by the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the
basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from
the employment of the assets and subsequent disposal. The expected
net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in
determining recoverable amounts.
The carrying amount of the asset is written down to its
recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing
proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are
included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts
included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are
transferred to accumulated losses.
(d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure and the recognition
of assets
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation projects are
accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These
costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected
to be recouped through the successful development of the area or
where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written
off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to
abandon the area is made.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to
determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs
in relation to that area of interest.
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and
evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and
commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective
areas of interest.
The carrying values of expenditures carried forward are reviewed
for impairment at each reporting date when the facts, events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be
impaired.
Accumulated expenditures are written off to profit or loss to
the extent to which they are considered to be impaired.
The group applies AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources which is equivalent to IFRS 6. The carrying value of
exploration and evaluation expenditure is historical cost less
impairment.
Ongoing exploration costs incurred in respect of the Group's
Trinidadian and Indonesian interests are expensed as incurred.
Initial acquisition costs to obtain the right to explore are
capitalised.
(e) Producing assets
Upon the commencement of commercial production from each
identifiable area of interest, the exploration and evaluation
expenditure incurred up to that point is impairment tested and then
reclassified to producing assets.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the
relevant area of interest are amortised on a "units of production"
method which is based on the ratio of actual production to
remaining proved and probable reserves (1P) as estimated by
independent petroleum engineers over the life of the area according
to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable
reserves.
Subsequent costs such as workovers, are included in the carrying
amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the
cost of the item can be reliably measured. All other costs are
charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they
are incurred.
The carrying amount of producing assets is reviewed annually by
the directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount of an asset is the
greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows of an
asset are discounted to their present value using a post-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where an asset
does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from
other assets or groups of assets, the recoverable amount is
determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
For producing assets, the estimated future cash flows for the
value-in-use calculation are based on estimates, the most
significant of which are 2P hydrocarbon reserves, future production
profiles, commodity prices, operating costs and any future
development costs necessary to produce the reserves which the group
is committed. Under a fair value less costs to sell calculation,
future cash flows are based on estimates of 2P hydrocarbon
reserves.
Estimates of future commodity prices are based on the Group's
best estimate of future market prices with reference to external
market analysts' forecasts, current spot prices and forward curves.
Future commodity prices are reviewed at least annually.
The carrying amount of an asset is written down to its
recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing
proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are
included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts
included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are
transferred to accumulated losses.
The Group records the present value of the estimated cost of
legal and constructive obligations to restore operating locations
in the period in which the obligation arises. The nature of
restoration activities includes the removal of facilities,
abandonment of wells and restoration of affected areas. A
restoration provision is recognised and updated at different stages
of the development and construction of a facility and then reviewed
on an annual basis. When the liability is initially recorded, the
estimated cost is capitalised by increasing the carrying amount of
the related exploration and evaluation/development assets.
Over time, the liability is increased for the change in the
present value based on a post-tax discount rate appropriate to the
risk inherent in the liability. The unwinding of the discount is
recorded as an accretion charge within finance costs. The carrying
amount capitalised in oil and gas properties is depreciated over
the useful life of the related asset.
Costs incurred that relate to an existing condition caused by
past operation and do not have a future economic benefit are
expensed.
(f) Financial instruments
The Group's financial instruments include cash and cash
equivalents, trade and other receivables and available-for-sale
financial assets.
The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard
introduced new classification and measurement models for financial
assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it
is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets
in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified
dates and that are solely principal and interest.
A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal
and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair
value.
All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair
value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable
election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on
equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent
consideration recognised in a business combination) in other
comprehensive income ('OCI').
Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably
designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to
reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For
financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or
loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value
that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI
(unless it would create an accounting mismatch).
New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more
closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management
activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an
'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance.
Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the
credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly
since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is
adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring
expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is
available.
(g) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is
determined using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which that entity operates.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the
year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical
cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the
exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary
items are recognised in profit or loss
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary
items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain
or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange
difference is recognised in profit or loss.
(h) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good
obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions
are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood
that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any
one item included in the same class of obligations may be
small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to
determine the present value reflects the current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as interest expense.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at
call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank
overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current
liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(j) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30
days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to
measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected
loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade
receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any
allowance for expected credit losses.
(k) Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018.
The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity
shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based
revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based
on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described
further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented
separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue.
Contracts with customers are presented in an entity's statement of
financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a
receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's
performance and the customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs
and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be
capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a
customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group identifies
the contract with a customer; identifies the performance
obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time
value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate
performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone
selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and
recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is
satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of
the goods or services promised.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over
time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or
an hourly rate.
Revenue from the sale of oil and gas and related products is
recognised when the Group
has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards
of ownership and the
amounts can be measured reliably. In the case of oil, this
usually occurs at the time of lifting. Other revenue is recognised
when it is received or when the right to receive payment is
established.
(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount
of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable
from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the
statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash
flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash
flows.
(m) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have
been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
(n) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
must be estimated for recognition and measurement for disclosure
purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets
(such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and
available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at
the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial
assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in
an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is
determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of
methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions
existing at each reporting date.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade
receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair
values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial
liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the
future contractual cash follows at the current market interest rate
that is available to the Group for similar financial
instruments.
(o) Investments in associates
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is
carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost
plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of net assets of
the associate.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines
whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss
with respect to the Group's net investment in the associate.
The Group's share of the associate post-acquisition profits or
losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are
adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the
Group's share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its
interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term
receivables and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of
the associate.
The reporting dates of the associate and the Group are identical
and the associate's accounting policies conform to those used by
the Group for like transactions and events in similar
circumstances.
(p) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30
days of recognition unless alternative terms are agreed. The
Group's most material balance is with LandOcean which has specific
payment terms of 3 years.
(q) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being
appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the
entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not
distributed at reporting date.
(r) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or
loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares
issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(t) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The chief
operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has
been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
(u) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful
life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets
are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which they
are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of
assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than
goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(v) Intangible assets (goodwill)
Goodwill is measured at cost less any impairment write-downs.
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible
assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less
accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of
an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the
entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose
of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are
expected to benefit from the business combination in which the
goodwill arose, identified according to operating segments (note
27).
(w) Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense
with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be
expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the
options granted, which includes any market performance conditions
and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the
impact of any service and non-market performance vesting
conditions.
(x) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary
benefits are recognised in current liabilities in respect of
employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are
settled.
Long service benefit
The liability for long service benefit is recognised in current
and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date. The liability is measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services
provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service.
(y) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a
lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an
assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is
dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the
arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively
transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks
and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and
operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains
substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are
established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower,
the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are
allocated between the principal component of the lease liability
and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated
over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty
that the company will obtain ownership at the end of the lease
term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from
the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
(z) Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value
of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the
loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
(aa) Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise
convertible notes that can be converted to ordinary shares at the
option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is
fixed.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is
recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that
does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is
recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of
the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of
the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction
costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in
proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a
compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound
financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial
recognition.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognised in
profit or loss. On conversion the financial liability is
reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised.
Convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at the
option of the holder and where the number of shares is variable,
contains an embedded derivative liability. The embedded derivative
liability is calculated (at fair value) first and the residual
value is assigned to the debt host contract. The embedded
derivative is subsequently measured at fair value and movements are
reflected in profit or loss.
Certain convertible notes issued by the Group which include
embedded derivatives (option to convert to variable number of
shares in the Group) are recognised as financial liabilities at
fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the fair
value of the convertible note will equate to the proceeds received
and subsequently the liability is measured at fair value at each
reporting period until settlement. The fair value movements are
recognised in profit or loss as finance costs.
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised
as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the
period in which they are incurred.
(bb) Inventories
Inventories include consumable supplies and maintenance spares
and are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
is determined on a weighted average basis and includes direct costs
and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production
overheads where applicable. Inventories determined to be obsolete
or damaged are written down to net realisable value, being the
estimated selling price less selling costs.
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated
into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where estimations and assumptions are significant to the financial
statements are disclosed here.
(cc) Non-current assets classified as held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use. They are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to
sell. For non-current assets to be classified as held for sale,
they must be available for immediate sale in their present
condition and their sale must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent
write down of the non-current assets to fair value less costs to
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair
value less costs to sell of a non-current asset, but not in excess
of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they
are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to
be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented
separately on the face of the consolidated statement of financial
position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups
classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of
the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business,
the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished
from the rest of the Group and which:
-- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
-- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a
separate major line of business or geographical are of operations;
and
-- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier
of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be
classified as held-for-sale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the
comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been
discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
Note 2: Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and discontinued
operations
Towards the end of the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the
Group undertook a review of the oil and gas business culminating in
the decision to sell Range Resources Trinidad Limited to LandOcean.
The Board of Directors have judged that as a result of this review,
the assets and associated liabilities of Range Resources Trinidad
Limited should be classified as held for sale as at 30 June 2019
and all operations of Range Resources Trinidad to be classified as
discontinued. In reaching this judgement, the Board of Directors
have considered that the requirements of AASB 5: Non-current assets
held for sale and discontinued operations have been met.
Producing asset expenditure
The classification of exploration and evaluation expenditure to
producing assets is based on the time of first commercial
production. Producing asset expenditure for each area of interest
is carried forward as an asset provided certain conditions listed
in Note 1(e) are met and depreciated on a unit of production basis
on P1 reserves. P1 reserves have been determined by an independent
expert.
Producing assets are assessed for impairment when facts and
circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of a production
asset may exceed its recoverable amount. These timings,
calculations and reviews require the use of assumptions and
judgement. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in Note
18.
Reserves and resources
Estimates of reserves requires judgement to assess the size and
quality of reservoirs and their anticipated recoveries. Estimates
of reserves are used to calculate depreciation, depletion and
amortisation charges.
Impairment of goodwill and producing assets
The Group tests whether goodwill or the producing assets has
suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies
stated in notes 1(e) and 1(u). The recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the assets belong is estimated based
on the present value of future cash flows.
The expected future cash flow estimation is always based on a
number of factors, variables and assumptions, the most important of
which are estimates of reserves, future production profiles,
commodity prices and costs. In most cases, the present value of
future cash flows is most sensitive to estimates of future oil
price and discount rates. A change in the modelled assumptions in
isolation could materially change the recoverable amount. Refer to
note 14 for details of these key assumptions.
Deferred tax liability
Upon acquisition of SOCA Petroleum Ltd in June 2011, in
accordance with the requirement of AASB 112 Income Taxes, a
deferred tax liability of US$46,979,878 was recognised in relation
to the difference between the carrying amount for accounting
purposes of deferred development assets and their actual cost base
for tax purposes.
The carrying value of this deferred tax liability is
US$3,177,457 at 30 June 2019. In the event that the manner by which
the carrying value of these assets is recovered differs from that
which is assumed for the purpose of this estimation, the associated
tax charges may be significantly less than this amount.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary
differences and losses. Management considers that it is probable
that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those
temporary differences. Judgement is required to determine the
amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon
the likely timing and the level of future profits.
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
business combination
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business
combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition
date.
Share based payments transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based
payment transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is
determined using a Black-Scholes model. The accounting estimates
and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments
would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact
expenses and derivative liability.
Contingent liabilities
The Directors are of the opinion that no provision is required
to be raised in respect to any of the matters disclosed in Note 26
as the likely outcome of any outflow is considered to be
remote.
Recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors,
including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease
itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related
exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could
impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and
resources, future technological changes, which could impact the
cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to
environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity
prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation
expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future,
profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this
determination is made.
Accounting for Strait Oil & Gas Limited
Range owns 65% of the issued share capital of Strait Oil &
Gas Limited ("SOG"). This is achieved by interest through a 45%
shareholding held by Range itself plus a 20% shareholding through
its full ownership of Georgian Oil Pty Ltd. Despite owning a
majority of the issued share capital, management do not view this
as control and the principal rationale for that view is as
follows:
1. Range has no appointed directors of SOG so exercises no
effective control over the company. The sole director of SOG is a
different corporate entity;
2. All shareholders must agree to any termination of the
management agreement which governs the role of the appointed
director;
3. The Articles of Association of SOG are silent on the ability
of shareholders to appoint directors. To appoint a director,
management believe that the articles would need to be amended. To
amend the articles requires a special resolution which needs 75%
votes (Range only controls 65%) and management do not believe they
would get support from the other shareholders to do this;
In practice all decision making and corporate activities require
consent of all the shareholders resulting in Range have no
demonstrable control over SOG.
The Group therefore intends to continue to account for this as
an "Other Asset" with a carrying value equal to the US$20,000 which
was the cost of acquiring Georgian Oil Pty Ltd. All previous costs
incurred by Range in relation to SOG have been impaired and the
Company will continue to expense any ongoing expenses which are
incurred.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a
degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime
expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes
assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for
each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and
historical collection rates.
Rehabilitation provision
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated
costs for future rehabilitation of land explored. The Group's
exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations
governing the protection of the environment. The Group recognises
management's best estimate for assets retirement obligations and
site rehabilitations in the period in which they are incurred.
Actual costs incurred in the future periods could differ materially
from the estimates. Additionally, future changes to environmental
laws and regulations and discount rates could affect the carrying
amount of this provision.

Note 5: Impairment of non-current assets
Impairment testing was performed during the current half-year as
impairment indicators were identified and an impairment was
recorded. The impairment was due to a combination of lower assumed
long-term oil prices together with a deferred work programme. In
line with the announced work plans for 2019, Range was not
anticipating any material production growth during 2019 and when
updating the models for the revised production profiles it resulted
in a lower NPV. This was exacerbated by lower oil prices assumption
when compared to the impairment review in September 2018.
The long term WTI forward price has settled into a band of
between US$53 - US$55/bbl which is just above the level at which
Supplemental Petroleum Tax takes effect. This had a materially
negative impact on the NPV calculation and Range believes this
highlights the regressive nature of this particular tax. As a
result, a goodwill impairment of US$3,241,472 and Trinidad asset
impairment of US$48,079,057 were recorded. Impairment testing was
not performed at year-end, although impairment indicators were
identified, due to the fact that the book value of the producing
assets was supported by the consideration of the SPA signed between
the Group and LandOcean. Please refer to note 7 for further
information on the agreement.
Non-current receivables of US$2,284,398 were fully impaired as
they are not deemed recoverable. These relate to Sincep and
LandOcean Energy, refer to Note 11.
In Indonesia, despite continued efforts by the operator of the
project to establish stable and continuous production from the
field, no material production had been achieved from the work
programme to date. As a result, a decision was made to fully impair
the asset related to Indonesia exploration, which resulted to an
impairment of US$6,077,873.

The completion is subject to shareholder and government

On 30th November 2017, Range acqured RRDSL from LandOcean
Petroleum Corp. Ltd. for a consideration of US$5,500,000 which was
due to be is payable on 30 November 2020. But as disclosed in Note

Acquisition related costs of US$736,881 were included in general
and administration expenses in profit or loss and in operating cash
flows in the statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June
2018.
(d) Accounting policy
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all
business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or
other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the
acquisition of subsidiary comprises the:
(i) fair values of the assets transferred
(ii) liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
(iii) equity interests issued by the group
(iv) fair value of any asset or liability resulting from
contingent consideration arrangement, and
(v) fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in business combination are, with limited
exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the
(i) consideration transferred,
(ii) amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
(iii) acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity
interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net
identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those
amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets
of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly
in profit or loss as bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred,
the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present
value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the
entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier
under comparable terms and conditions.

(i) Asset acquisition
On 30th October 2017, Range Resources Limited acquired through
Range Resources HK Limited, 60% of the shares of PT Hengtai Weiye
Oil and Gas ("Hengtai"), resulting in a 23% indirect equity
interest in the Perlak field, Indonesia. Control has been obtained
through the shareholder agreements in place at each entity
level.
Details of the fair value of the assets acquired are as
follows:
Purchase consideration comprises: US$
----------------------------------- ----------
Cash 2,560,000
------------------------------------ ----------
Total cash paid 2,560,000
------------------------------------ ----------
Total consideration 2,560,000

------------------------------------ ------------
Less: non-controlling interests (3,517,873)
------------------------------------ ------------
Total 2,560,000
------------------------------------ ------------
Put option agreement
The vendor has agreed to provide Range with a put option,
whereby Range has the option to enforce a buyback of its full 60%
interest in Hengtai should agreed milestones not be achieved,
therefore providing protection to Range's investment. These
milestones, amongst others, include achieving minimum production of
800 bopd from Perlak field over a continuous 90-day period, as well
as proving up independently audited 1P reserves of at least 10
mmbbl within a three-year period. On acquisition, a cash
consideration of US$2,560,000 was paid.
Asset acquisition accounting policy
The transaction is not deemed a business combination as the
assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business. When an
asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the
assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on
their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no
deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and
assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for
deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill arose on the
acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be
included in the capitalised cost of the asset. The non-controlling
interest is recognised at fair value. All the other expenses in
relation to Indonesia are expensed in exploration costs in the
Income Statement.
(ii) Impairment
Range has been actively working with its partners on the Perlak
oil project for approximately 18 months. The initial results from
the wells re-entered have been below expectations and given the
ongoing difficulties being experienced the Company has decided to
fully expense all costs incurred to date and will continue to do so
going forward. Given these disappointing results, the Company has
made a decision to write off the value of its investment in
Indonesia, resulting to an impairment of US$6,077,873.

Although impairment indicators existed at 30 June 2019, the
Group did not undertake an impairment assessment as the value of
producing assets was derived from the Sale and Purchase Agreement
with LandOcean as fair value of the consideration exceeds the

Note 26: Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Geeta Maharaj
Range received an invoice from Geeta Maharaj, a Trinidad based
attorney seeking payment for legal services in the amount of
approximately US$1.9 million. The invoice purports to relate to
legal work undertaken during mid-2014 including the preparation of
inter-company loan agreements. Range strongly refutes the amount of
this purported invoice and considers it to be vastly excessive and
therefore not payable. A claim has been filed by Ms Maharaj seeking
the sum of TT$12,019,573 (approximately US$1.9 million) plus
interest and costs. Range filed a notice of application to strike
out this claim on 14 July 2017. An initial hearing on this
application was held on 29 September 2017 at which the parties were
ordered to file and exchange written submissions by 20 October 2017
with replies, if any, to be filed by 30 October 2017. Both parties
filed and exchanged written submissions and responses by the
requested dates and a further hearing was scheduled for 1 December
2017. This hearing was rescheduled by the court and the Company is
awaiting notification of a rescheduled date.
Separately, Range has received further correspondence from Ms
Maharaj on a related matter claiming damages of TT$6,000,000
(approximately US$890,000) on the basis of a conspiracy designed to
damage Ms Maharaj's reputation. Again, Range firmly refutes the
allegation and in conjunction with its legal counsel in Trinidad
has responded to this demand. A claim has been filed by Ms Maharaj
seeking damages of TT$6,000,000 (approximately US$890,000) plus
interest and costs. The Company, in conjunction with its legal
counsel, has filed a defence in respect of this claim and a
preliminary hearing was scheduled for 1 December 2017. This hearing
was rescheduled by the court and the Company is awaiting
notification of a rescheduled date.
While the Company, having taken legal advice, considers the
probability of Ms Maharaj succeeding in either of her claims to be
remote, there can be no guarantee that there will be a favourable
outcome for the Company. There have been no other updates with
regards to this case since 30 June 2018.
The Directors are not aware of any further contingent
liabilities or contingent assets as at 30 June 2019.

Accounting policies
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis
of internal reports about components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order
to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer
and through this role the Board of Directors.
Information regarding these segments is presented above. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as
those of the Group. Segment information is prepared in conformity
with the accounting policies of the entity as disclosed in Note
1.
Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to
the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a
reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all
assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash,
receivables, plant and equipment, exploration expenditure
capitalised and development assets net of accumulated depreciation
and amortisation. While most such assets can be directly attributed
to individual segments, the carrying amount of certain assets
usedvjointly by two or more segments is allocated to the segments
on a reasonable basis. Segment disclosures do not include deferred
income taxes.
Revenue from Trinidad - Oil & Gas Production segment of
US$11,597,161 (2018: US$12,629,996) is derived from the
subsidiary's sole customer, which is Heritage Petroleum
Limited.
Intersegment transfers
Segment revenues, expenses and results do not include any
transfers between segments.

Note 32: Financial risk management
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of
financial instruments:
-- Credit risk
-- Liquidity risk
-- Market risk
This note presents information about the Group's exposure to
each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes
for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these
financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall
responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk
management framework.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse
the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk
management policies and systems are reviewed to reflect changes in
market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through
training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all
consultants and agents understand their roles and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's
receivables and cash held at financial institutions.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Individual risk limits
are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with
limits set by the board. Although there is only one customer and
hence significant concentration to one customer, the credit risk is
considered low.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due
or impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings
(if available) or to historical information about counterparty
default rates.

(i) Counterparties without an external credit rating.
Loans and receivables
The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the
individual characteristics of each debtor. No collateral was held
in relation to these receivables.
Impairment losses
No impairment loss was recognised in relation to other
receivables respectively in the prior year.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to
meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible,
that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the
Group's reputation.
The Group uses activity-based costing to cost its activities,
which assists in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising
its cash return on investments. Typically, the Group ensures that
it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational
expenses for a period of 12 months; this excludes the potential
impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be
predicted, such as natural disasters.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as
interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or
the value of its holdings of available for sale assets. The
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return.
Oil price
Future value, growth and financial conditions are dependent upon
the prevailing prices for oil. Prices for oil are subject to
fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors beyond the
control of the Company. Sustained periods of low oil price may
impact the viability of growth projects. The Company monitors and
analyses the current and forecast oil prices on a regular basis.
Range does not currently hedge its oil price exposure. Price
hedging arrangements would be implemented if deemed appropriate for
financial planning and to mitigate commodity price risks.
Equity price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This
arises from investments held by the Group and classified on the
statement of financial position as available for sale as well as
from the option liability held as a current liability. A 10%
increase or decrease in Range's share price would not have an
effect to the option liability.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign
exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily
with respect to the US dollar, AU dollar, TT Dollar and British
pound. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a
currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The Group's treasury risk management policy is to closely
monitor exchange rate fluctuations. To date, the Group has not
sought to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates,
however this policy will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting
date was as follows:
Consolidated
2019 AUD 2018 AUD 2019 GBP 2018 GBP
Cash 249,624 206,996 38,965 60,911
Amount payable to
other entities (66,216) (73,269) (48,631) (50,550)
Total 183,408 133,727 (9,666) 10,361
Sensitivity
Based upon the amounts above, had the Australian dollar
strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables
held constant, the Group post-tax loss for the year on current
amounts receivable/payable would have been US$10,824 higher (2018:
US$18,064 higher), mainly as a result of foreign exchange
gains/losses on translation of AUD and GBP
denominated payables as detailed in the table above. A 10%
weakening of the Australian dollar against the above currencies at
30 June would have had the equal but opposite effect, on the basis
that all other variables remain constant.
The Trinidad entities are minimally exposed to foreign exchange
risk arising from various currencies, primarily with respect to the
United States Dollar.
Interest rate risk
The group's main interest rate risk arises from non-current
receivables. Non-current receivables issued at fixed rates expose
the group to fair value interest rate if the loans are carried at
fair value. During 2019 and 2018, the group loan receivables were
denominated in Australian Dollars, British Pounds and US
Dollars.

Sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain
constant.

The basis for determining fair value is disclosed in Note
1(n).
Other price risks
The Group is not exposed to any other price risks.
Capital management
The entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard
its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue
to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The entity's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2018.
The capital structure of the group consists of cash and cash
equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the
Company, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses
as disclosed in Notes 24 and 25 respectively. None of the entities
within the group are subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
Gearing ratio
The Board reviews the capital structure on an annual basis. As a
part of this review the Board considers the cost of capital and the
risks associated with each class of capital.

(a) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level
of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (level 1),
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly (level 2), and
(c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs (level 3).
The following table presents the Group's financial assets and
financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30
June 2018 and 30 June 2017 on a recurring basis.

Total liabilities - 417,352 - 417,352
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers
out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the end of the
reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the
fair value hierarchy during the year ended 30 June 2019.
(b) Fair values of other financial instruments
The Group has financial instruments which are measured at
amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the
current receivables, current payables, current borrowings, and
current other financial liabilities is assumed to approximate their
fair value.
(c) Fair values of non-current receivables, payables and
borrowings
For non-current receivables, payables and borrowings, the fair
values are not materially different to their carrying amounts since
the interest on these balances is close to current market
rates.
Note 34: Events after the reporting date
Conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with LandOcean Energy
Services
On 2 September 2019, the parties have successfully signed a
binding conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement for the sale of
Range Resources Trinidad Limited to LandOcean in exchange for
offsetting all outstanding debt and payables (including the
convertible note) due from Range and its subsidiaries to LandOcean
and its subsidiaries, and a cash consideration of US$2,500,000
million. This is conditional upon Range shareholders' approval,
LandOcean shareholders' approval and Trinidad and Tobago government
approval. There is no guarantee the transaction will complete.
Director resignation
Ms Juan Wang has tendered her resignation as Non-Executive
Director of the Company on 23 July 2019. Ms Wang was appointed to
the Board of the Company in 2014 as a nominee of Abraham Ltd,
pursuant to Abraham's contractual right to appoint up to two
Non-Executive Directors to the Board as part of its investment in
Range in 2014, as long as it holds 8% or more of the Company's
shares on issue (as announced on 15 May 2014). As Abraham's
shareholding in the Company is currently below 8%, it no longer has
the right to have any nominee Directors on the Board of the
Company.
Placement GBP750k
The Group has completed a subscription agreement to raise
GBP750,000 with a new investor, Sramek BioDynamics Holdings
Limited. Pursuant to the Subscription, the Group issued
1,536,599,792 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.049 pence per new
ordinary share. The subscription shares represent 15% of the issued
ordinary share capital of the Group prior to the subscription which
was undertaken under the Company's available 15% placement capacity
under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The shares were admitted on AIM on 20
September 2019.
VAT refund - Trinidad
In September, the Group received a VAT refund from the Board of
Inland Revenue in Trinidad and Tobago of US$1.03 million.
Other than the above, no events occurred after the reporting
date.
Note 35: New accounting Standards and interpretations
Australian accounting Standards/amendments released but not yet
effective: 30 June 2019 year end
Certain new accounting Standards and Interpretations have been
published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2019 reporting periods
and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group's
assessment of the impact of these new Standards and Interpretations
is set out below. In all cases the Group intends to apply these
standards from the application date as indicated in the tables
below.
Reference: AASB 16 Title: Leases
Standard application 1 January 2019
date:
Group application date: 1 July 2019
Key Requirements
The key features of AASB 16 are as follows:
Lessee accounting
* Lessees are required to recognise assets and
liabilities for all leases with a term of more than
12 months, unless the underlying asset is of a low
value.
* A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to
other non-financial assets and lease liabilities
similarly to other financial liabilities.
* Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are
initially measured on a present value basis. The
measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments,
and also includes payments to be made in optional
periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to
exercise an option to terminate the lease.
* AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for leases.
Lessor accounting
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting
requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a lessor continues
to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases,
and to account for those two types of leases differently.
AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided
by lessors that will improve information disclosed about
a lessor's risk exposure, particularly to residual value
risk.
Impact
Management have assessed AASB 16 and do not expect any significant
impact on the Group.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that
would be expected to have a material impact on Range in the current
or future period and on foreseeable future transactions.

+ Reserves and Resources Statement
Reserves
As at 30 June 2019, Range's net proved and probable reserves
(2P) are assessed to be 15.0 million barrels of oil (MMbbl). The
only factor attributing to the revision in reserves is:
-- Production during the period commencing 1 July 2018 up to 30 June 2019
Reserves as at 30 June 2019 (MMbbl):
Category Proved (1P) Proved & probable Proved, probable
(2P) & possible (3P)
Developed 2.9 4.7 6.2
Undeveloped 6.2 10.3 15.5
Total 9.1 15.0 21.7
1. The reserve figures (1P, 2P and 3P) include reserves
associated with the Company's Morne Diablo, South Quarry and Beach
Marcelle licences in Trinidad. Range's net interest in all three
fields is 100%.
2. Competent Persons Report ("CPR") prepared by Rockflow
Resources Ltd, effective 30 June 2017 was used as a basis for
estimation of the reserve figures.
3. Range's Morne Diablo and South Quarry fields are operated
under farm-out agreements, with rights to production net of
Trinidad government royalties, overriding royalties, and production
taxes.
4. Range's Beach Marcelle field is operated under the terms of
an Incremental Production Service Contract, entitling Range to a
defined portion of the future revenue stream. No oil and gas
reserves are owned by Range.

Contingent resources
As at 30 June 2019, Range's net contingent resources 2C (P50)
are assessed to be 12.9 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe).
The contingent resources remain unchanged due to no material
activities on commercialization of identified contingent resources
in both Trinidad and Indonesia during the past financial year
period commencing 1 July 2018 up to 30 June 2019.

Notes on calculation of reserves and resources
-- The reserves and resources stated in this report are prepared
in accordance with the definitions and guidelines in the Society of
Petroleum Engineers (SPE) 2007 Petroleum Resources Management
System (PRMS).
-- Range reviews and updates its oil and gas reserves and
resources position on an annual basis and reports the updated
estimates as of 30 June each year. Separately, Range reviews and
updates its oil and gas reserves and resources position as
frequently as required by the magnitude of the petroleum reserves
and resources and changes indicated by new data.
-- The reserve and resource figures are reported according to
Range's net economic interest, net of royalties and net of lease
fuel up to the reference point.
-- The reference point defined as the point of sale to third parties.
-- Petroleum reserves and resources are prepared using
deterministic and probabilistic methods.
-- Project and field totals are aggregated by arithmetic summation by category.
-- Totals may not exactly reflect arithmetic addition due to rounding.
-- Oil and gas reserves estimates are expressions of judgment
based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates
that were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly
when new information or techniques become available. Additionally,
by their very nature, reserve and resource estimates are imprecise
and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be
inaccurate. As further information becomes available through
additional drilling and analysis, the estimates are likely to
change. This may result in alterations to development and
production plans which may, in turn, adversely impact the Company's
operations. Reserves estimates and estimates of future net revenues
are, by nature, forward looking statements and subject to the same
risks as other forward-looking statements.
