Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Business and Basis of Preparation
General
Tamboran Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “Tamboran” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries,
the “Group”) is an early-stage growth-oriented natural gas company with a vision of supporting the netzero CO 2 energy
transition in Australia and Asia-Pacific through developing low CO 2 unconventional gas resources in the Northern
Territory(“NT”) of Australia. The Group is in the exploration and appraisal stage with a current focus on exploiting its
primary assets, which are rights to working interests (“Tenements”) in exploration acreage in the Beetaloo sub-basin
(“Beetaloo” or “Beetaloo Basin”), NT Australia. To date, the Group has not determined whether the Tenements contain any
natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Further, the Group had no revenues from its gas operations as of
March 31, 2025.
Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plan
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will
continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary
and usual course of business.
As of March 31, 2025, the Group had:
not generated revenues since inception, and is unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable
future;
a working capital surplus of$3,570,400, arising from proceeds of our United States Initial Public Offering
(“IPO”), the net rig 403 sale proceeds and the refund for 2023 Research and Development (“R&D”) tax
credit;
an accumulated deficit of$157,098,288 since inception; and
significant expenditures planned for the unproved properties in the next 12 months.
These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months
following the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available for issuance. The continuation of the
Group as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Group to obtain necessary additional capital to fund ongoing
exploration, appraisal and development projects and/or obtain gas producing properties to attain future profitable
operations. No assurance can be given that the Group will be successful in these efforts in the future.
Management has several plans in various stages of progress to source additional funding to provide operating capital
for the continued growth of the Group. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements donot include any
adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should
the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. Pursuant to such rules and
regulations, certain disclosures and information required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements
have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes therein should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our consolidated financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 2024 (“Group’s Annual Financial Statements”).
These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, which
include normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Group’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
any other future annual or interim period. The June 30, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the
audited Group’s Annual Financial Statements but doesnot include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual
financial statements.
Significant Judgments and Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and
expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements and the accompanying notes. There have beenno significant changes to the Group’s accounting estimates from
those disclosed in the Group’s Annual Financial Statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Group’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes included in the Group’s Annual Financial
Statements. There have beenno significant changes in accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
Foreign Currency Translation
These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars (“$” or “dollars”) and the functional
currency of the Group is the Australian Dollar (“A$”). Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency
financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as a part of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Loss”, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company’s functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Leases
As a Lessee
The Group accounts for leases under ASC 842, Leases(“ASC 842”). The Group determines if an arrangement is a
lease at inception of the arrangement and if such lease will be classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. The
Group’s leases represent its right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities
are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the
Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group used a proxy for its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate
incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar
economic environment.
The Group has elected to account for lease and non-lease components in its contracts as a single lease component for
all asset classes except for office premises.
Operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” within the Group’s condensed consolidated
balance sheet. The Group’s related obligation to make lease payments are included in “Current portion of operating lease
obligations” and “Operating lease obligations” within the Group’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease
expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Finance leases are included in “Finance lease right-of-use assets” within the Group’s condensed consolidated balance
sheet. The Group’s related obligation to make lease payments are included in “Current portion of finance lease obligations”
and “Finance lease obligations” within the Group’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease expense includes
amortization of the ROU assets and interest on lease liabilities. The Group capitalizes the finance lease expense as a part of
unproved properties when the leased asset is directly involved in the drilling of wells (i.e. the finance lease expense is a
direct cost of drilling wells).
Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are
recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When it is reasonably certain the Group will
exercise an option to extend the short-term lease beyond 12 months, the cost will be capitalized.
As a Lessor
Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease agreement and is recorded within
“Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Natural Gas Properties
The Group’s operations are in the exploration and appraisal stage and hasnot yet realized any revenues from
operations. The Group holds a number of exploration permits that are grouped into areas of interest according to
geographical and geological attributes. Expenditure incurred in each area of interest is accounted for using the successful
efforts method, as defined within ASC 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas.
Under this method, all general exploration and evaluation costs such as geological and geophysical costs are
expensed as incurred. The direct costs of acquiring the rights to explore, drilling exploratory wells, and evaluating the
results of drilling are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets (as a part of unproved properties) pending the
determination of the results of the well. If a well does not result in hydrocarbons being present, the previously capitalized
costs are immediately expensed.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
The Group presents unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to the establishment of a Performance Bond
Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) as a component of “Prepaid expenses and other non-current assets” on its
consolidated balance sheets because the outstanding balance under this Facility Agreement may fluctuate as the Group
borrows and repays the relevant amounts. The Group amortizes the deferred debt issuance costs over the remaining term of
the Facility on a straight-line basis which is reported within “interest income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement -
Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the
FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to
provide detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories, including
employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as certain other disclosures to provide
enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03, as clarified
by ASU 2025-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and
the impact it may have on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 – Variable Interest Entities
TB1
Tamboran (B1) Pty Ltd (“TB1”) is a 50/50 joint venture between the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Tamboran (West) Pty Ltd (“TR West”), and Daly Waters Energy, LP (“DWE”) governed by the terms of an amended and
restated joint venture and shareholders agreement dated June 3, 2024 (the “TB1 Joint Venture Agreement”). In determining
the primary beneficiary of TB1, the Company considered those activities which most significantly impact the economic
performance of TB1, including, for example, which entity serves as the manager, determination of the strategy and
direction of TB1, and the power to create a budget.
The Group is the sole manager of TB1, responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of TB1. The Group, as
manager, also prepares the work plans and budget of TB1. As such the Group has the power to direct those activities which
most significantly impact TB1’s economic performance and therefore is the primary beneficiary of TB1. As a result, the
results of TB1 have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. TB1 hasno assets
that are collateral for or restricted solely to settle its obligations. The creditors of TB1 donot have recourse to the Group’s
general credit.
The Group also assessed which party to the TB1 Joint Venture Agreement has the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The future profits and losses of TB1
are shared by the Group and DWE in proportion to their respective equity interest in TB1, however, to date the Group has
contributed a greater proportion of the capital and has no ability to recoup any of the excess funding the Group has made to
TB1 from DWE and therefore has a greater exposure to absorb losses.
In 2022, Tamboran Resources Pty Ltd (formerly known as Tamboran Resources Limited) (“TR Ltd.”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, made a loan to TR West for purposes of funding TR West’s acquisition of its interest in
TB1. On November 9, 2022, TB1 completed the acquisition of a 77.5% share of Beetaloo Basin assets, EP 76, EP 98, and
EP 117. The Company and DWE each beneficially own a 38.75% interest in the permits for the total undivided interest of
77.5%. Falcon Oil and Gas Australia limited (“Falcon”) holds the remaining undivided interest of 22.5% in the assets
(collectively known as the “Beetaloo Joint Venture”).
On March 4, 2024, Falcon, the owner of the remaining 22.5% interest in the Beetaloo Joint Venture assets, capped its
participation to 5% in the Beetaloo Joint Venture’s second Shenandoah South well pad (“SS2”). On March 21, 2024,
Tamboran B2 Pty Ltd (“TB1 Operator”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of TB1 in which the Company has a 50% interest)
agreed to acquire Falcon’s interest, increasing TB1 Operator’s working interest to at least 95% in the wells drilled from the
SS2 well pad.
Pursuant to the TB1 Joint Venture Agreement, the parties are required to implement an approach to dividing the
permits whereby Tamboran and DWE pursue a division of TB1 Operator’sinterest in the permits such that the title and
ownership of the permits will be split evenly between Tamboran and DWE in the specific area in terms of equity interest
and number of operated blocks (“Checkerboard Strategy”). The TB1 Joint Venture Agreement provided that if the
Checkerboard Strategy is not implemented by December 31, 2024, due to either:
the failure to obtain the requisite ministerial approval to effectuate the Checkerboard Strategy; or
a New Area Joint Venture is not approved by the parties to the Joint Operating Agreement (“JOA”) with respect to
joint operations of the subject areas, then, by February 15, 2025,
then, the Company must either:
pay DWE a cash amount of$7,500,000; or
issue CHESS Depository Interests (“CDIs”) to DWE with a value of$15,000,000, based on the volume
weighted average price of CDIs traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) at the time during the
30 days on which sales in CDIs were recorded prior to December 31,2024.
At the time of the IPO, DWE agreed to waive the$7,500,000 payment obligation in respect of the Checkerboard
Strategy in exchange for Tamboran’s issue to DWE, or its nominee, of 312,500 shares of common stock (calculated based
on the obligation of$7,500,000 divided by the common stock price at the IPO of$24.00 per share), subject to shareholders'
approval (Refer Note 7), which was granted in November 2024. The obligation to implement the Checkerboard Strategy
does not cease with this issuance of shares.

Tamboran SPCF Pty Ltd
In October 2024, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Tamboran SPCF Pty Ltd (“TR SPCF”), entered
into a Unit Holders and Shareholders Deed with Daly Waters Infrastructure, LP (“DWI”) for the establishment of a trust
(“SPCF Sub Trust”) to be owned 50%/50% by the Group and DWI to own the Sturt Plateau Compression Facility
(“SPCF”). In determining the primary beneficiary of the SPCF Sub Trust, the Company considered those activities that
most significantly impact the economic performance of the SPCF, including, for example, which entity serves as the
manager, determination of the strategy and direction of the SPCF, and the power to create a budget.
The Group was appointed as manager of the SPCF Sub Trust responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of
the SPCF. The Group, as manager, also prepares the work plans and budget of the SPCF Sub Trust. As such, the Group has
the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact the SPCF’s economic performance and therefore is the
primary beneficiary of the SPCF Sub Trust. As a result, the results of SPCF Sub Trust have been included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. SPCF Sub Trust hasno assets that are collateral for or
restricted solely to settle its obligations. The creditors of SPCF Sub Trust donot have recourse to the Group’s general
credit.
The Group also assessed which party to the SPCF Sub Trust has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive
the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The future profits and losses of SPCF Sub Trust are
shared by the Group and DWI in proportion to their respective equity interest in SPCF Sub Trust, and both parties have no
ability to recoup any funding the Group has made to SPCF.
The units within the SPCF Sub Trust structure were issued in October 2024. The assets were transferred tothe SPCF
Sub Trust during thethree months ended March 31, 2025.

carrying out its onshore drilling operations in Australia. The drilling contract grants Tamboran the right to use the drilling
rig from H&P over the non-cancellable contract term of 25 months starting from July 1, 2023. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Group has the right to place the drilling rig on a temporary suspension rate between wells for a period up to
270 days (the “Gap Period”). For each day of the Gap Period consumed, additional days are added to the fixed minimum
term. As of March 31, 2025, the end date of the drilling contract for the current rig is mid-April 2027. The drilling contract
is recognized as a finance lease under ASC 842 (“H&P Rig Lease”).
The present value of the minimum future obligations was calculated based on an interest rate of 12.76% p.a., which
was recognized in finance lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 6 – Asset Retirement Obligations
The Group recognizes the liability for an asset retirement obligation at their estimated fair value in the period in
which the obligation originates. Fair value is estimated using the present value technique (level 2) based on a number of
observable inputs including estimates and assumptions such as future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the
Group’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
The Group capitalized the present value of the estimated asset retirement obligations as a part of the carrying amount
of the related natural gas properties. The liability has been accreted to its present value fornine months ended March 31,
The reconciliation of changes in asset retirement obligations for thenine months ended March 31, 2025, is as
| Nine months ended March 31, 2025 | |

July 2024 Greenshoe Option
Subsequent to the IPO in June 2024, the underwriters exercised the greenshoe option granted to them to purchase
additional shares of common stock of the Company. Under this option, underwriters purchased a total of 308,750 shares of
common stock of the Company on July 30, 2024. The net proceeds from the IPO and from the issuance under the
greenshoe option will be used for natural gas exploration and appraisal activities, progressing the Group’s three phases of
development and other general corporate purposes.
November 2024
At the time of the IPO, DWE agreed to waive the$7,500,000 payment obligation in respect of the Checkerboard
Strategy provided that Tamboran issue to DWE, or its nominee,312,500 shares of common stock. The number of shares to
be issued to satisfy the obligation was calculated as$7,500,000 divided by the IPO share price of$24.00. The issuance of
these shares in satisfaction of the obligation was subject to shareholder approval.
Shareholder approval took place at the Annual General Meeting on November 4, 2024, which was determined to be
the grant date for the purpose of valuing the common stock. From the time of the IPO in June 2024 to shareholder approval
in November 2024, the fair market value of the shares decreased from$24.00 to$19.04, while the number of shares to be
issued remained the same. The issuance of these shares completed the satisfaction of the above obligation in respect of the
Checkerboard Strategy (the “Checkerboard fee”) (Refer Note 2).
Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation
Milestone Options
During thenine months ended March 31, 2025, the Group didnot grant any new milestone options to its employees
andno milestone options were forfeited.
The Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining expense for milestone options during thenine months
ended March 31, 2025. The Group recognized$138,996 (inclusive of accelerated expense) and$429,661, as stock-based
compensation expense related to milestone options for thenine months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024,
respectively. No expense was recognized for thethree months ended March 31, 2025, while$162,056 was recognized for
thethree months ended March 31, 2024.
Restricted Stock Units
On August 6, 2024, the Group adopted the 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the“2024 Plan”). As of March 31, 2025, the
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2024 Plan was 1,600,000 shares.
The 2024 Plan, allows, among other things, for the grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). On August 6, 2024, the
Group issued RSUs to certain eligible service providers, employees and executive officers (the “participants”) to provide
them an opportunity to participate in the growth and profits of the Group and to attract, motivate, and retain their services
to promote the long-term success of the Group.
On August 6, 2024, the Company granted 47,400 Restricted Stock Units (“Retention Awards”) to its employees in
Australia and U.S. The Retention Awards granted to Australian employees entitle them to CDIs representing 39,250 shares
of common stock (each CDI represents 1/200 th of a share of common stock). Similarly, the Retention Awards granted to
U.S. employees entitle them to 8,150 shares of common stock. The vesting conditions state that all Retention Awards will
vest in full on December 31, 2025, provided the employee remain in service as of the vesting date. The fair value at grant
date of the Retention Awards was$21.73 per common stock and$0.109 per CDI.
On August 6, 2024, the Company also granted 795,000 Restricted Stock Units (“IPO Awards”) to its employees in
Australia and U.S. The IPO Awards granted to Australian employees entitle them to CDIs representing 620,000 shares of
common stock. Similarly, the IPO Awards granted to U.S. employees entitle them to 175,000 shares of common stock. The
IPO Awards will vest in following three tranches:
Tranche 1 –397,500 IPO Awards granted to Australian and U.S. employees will vest in full on July 3, 2027,
provided the employee remains in service as of the vesting date. The fair value at grant date of Tranche 1 was
$21.73 per common stock and$0.109 per CDI.
Tranche 2 –98,750 IPO Awards granted to Australian and U.S. employees will vest subject to the completion
of the Group’s Phase 1 Development Plan to establish first production of the Shenandoah South Pilot Project
and establish first production of 40 TJ/d measured by completion of the milestones (“Vesting Trigger
Conditions”). Full vesting of Tranche 2 may occur at any time between July 3, 2027, and July 3, 2029, should
the Vesting Trigger Conditions be satisfied, or unless otherwise determined by the Board of the Company. The
fair value at grant date of Tranche 2 was$21.73 per common stock and$0.109 per CDI.
Tranche 3 –298,750 IPO Awards granted to Australian and U.S. employees will vest subject to the Company’s
Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) reaching or exceeding the 75th percentile of the Benchmark Index TSR
between July 3, 2027, and July 3, 2029. TSR will be measured against the S&P SmallCap 600 Energy (or any
other market index determined by the Board in their sole discretion) (“Benchmark Index”) over the same
performance measurement period. The fair value at grant date of Tranche 3 was$19.64 per common stock and
$0.098 per CDI.
The grant date fair value of the Tranche 3 RSUs were determined through the use of the Monte Carlo simulation
method. This method requires the use of subjective assumptions such as the price and the expected volatility of the
Company’s common stock and its self-determined peer group companies’ stock, risk free rate of return, and cross-
correlations between the Company and its peer group companies. Expected volatilities for the Company and each peer
company utilized in the model are estimated using a historical period consistent with the awards’ remaining performance
period as of the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity for a term
consistent with the remaining performance period. The valuation model assumes dividends, if any, are immediately
reinvested.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the Tranche 3 RSUs
granted on August 6, 2024:
| Expected term for performance period (in years) | 4.9 |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 74.6% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.7% |
The Retention Awards and IPO Awards entitle the participants to receive the equivalent value (in cash or shares of
common stock/CDIs) of dividends paid on shares of common stock and CDIs, respectively.
The RSUs are not transferable. There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the RSUs and the
participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to stockholders or holders of CDIs.
If the Company makes a bonus issue of common stock, CDIs, or other securities to existing stockholders or holders
of CDIs (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the number of
shares of common stock or CDIs that must be issued on the exercise of a Retention Award or IPO Award, respectively, will
be increased by the number of shares of common stock or CDIs that the participant would have received if the participant
had exercised the RSUs before the record date for the bonus issue.
The following table presents the stock-based compensation costs recognized related to our RSUs for the three months
and nine months ended March 31, 2025:
| Stock-Based Compensation Cost Incurred | Remaining costs to recognize, if all vesting conditions are met | Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPO Awards (Tranche 1) | $732,006 | $6,680,850 | 2.25 |

2025 Director Restricted Stock Units
On January 1, 2025, the Company granted 27,281 Director RSUs for which each awarded RSU represented an
unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of the Company’s common stock. These awards have a cliff-vesting period of
one year. The fair value on grant date of the RSUs was$20.99 per unit. All Director RSUs remained outstanding as of
March 31, 2025. The Company recognized$144,175 in stock-based compensation expense related to these Director awards
for thethree months ended March 31, 2025.
Note 9 – Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 werenil. The Group’s
effective tax rate differed from the applicable statutory income tax rate due to operating losses incurred for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The Group has accumulated losses for tax purposes as of
March 31, 2025, in the amount of$322,399,763, which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the
future for an indefinite period, subject to meeting Australian tax rules around continuity of ownership or business
continuity test.
As of March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, the Group didnot have any uncertain tax positions.
Note 10 – Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share assumes the
conversion of any convertible securities using the treasury stock method.
The computations for basic and diluted loss per share are as follows:
| Three months ended March 31, | Nine months ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net loss after income tax attributable to Tamboran Resources Corporation stockholders | $(6,656,997) | $(3,282,555) | $(26,718,517) | $(12,498,584) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted average number of common stock outstanding, basic and diluted | 14,536,774 | 10,223,449 | 14,336,033 | 9,145,388 |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.458) | $(0.321) | $(1.864) | $(1.367) |
The Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding milestone options and RSUs, havenot been
included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2025, and
2024 as the result would be anti-dilutive.
Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Group may be subject to various claims, title matters and legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business, including environmental contamination claims, personal injury and property damage claims,
claims related to joint interest billings and other matters under natural gas operating agreements and other contractual
disputes. The Group maintains general liability and other insurance to cover some of these potential liabilities. All known
liabilities are fully accrued based on the Group’s best estimate of the potential settlement amount. While the outcome and
impact on the Group cannot be predicted with certainty, the Group believes that its ultimate liability with respect to any
such matters will not have a significant impact or material adverse effect on its financial positions, results of operations or
cash flows. Results of operations and cash flows, however, could be significantly impacted in the reporting periods in
which such matters are resolved.

Sweetpea
Sweetpea’s committed spend as of March 31, 2025, was$21,972,265, which was related totwo licenses, EP 136
with total commitments of$13,283,375 and EP 143 with total commitments of$8,688,890.
A renewal application for EP 136 was submitted to the Department of Mining and Energy (“DME”) (formerly the
Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade) in September 2023, and approved in July 2024, granting afive-year extension
for the period July 24, 2025 to July 23, 2030 with a minimum work program commitment of $13,283,375.
A variation application for EP 143 was submitted to DME in August 2024, and approved in October 2024. The total
minimum work program commitments remain the same at$8,688,890 with activity and associated spend being transferred
within the license term.
EP 161
For the EP 161 working interest, we are obligated to contribute our share of expenses to uphold our stake in this
permit, for which Santos Limited is the operator. Our commitment through March 2026 is expected to be$2,500,400 based
on the minimum work requirements. There areno minimum commitment requirements after March 2026.
Beetaloo Joint Venture
An application was submitted to DME in September 2024 to vary the year 2 and 3 work program, and was approved
in November 2024. The terms of the Beetaloo Joint Venture continue to necessitate specific minimum work obligations
through May 2028. These commitments include an expected spend of$70,761,319 related to drilling and multi-stage
hydraulic fracturing offour wells, 3D seismic survey, and subsurface studies, with expenditure across EP 76 of
$10,173,502, EP 98 of$49,566,523 and EP 117 of$11,021,294.
Midstream
Committed spend for the SPCF project as of March 31, 2025, was$4,955,806 which was related tothe engineering,
procurement, and construction management for the detailed design, engineering, planning, construction, testing, inspection
and commissioning of the facility and major equipment procurement.
Environmental
The Group’s operations are subject to risks normally associated with drilling, completion and production of oil and
gas, including blowouts, fires, and environmental risks such as oil spills or gas leaks that could expose the Group to
liabilities associated with these risks.
In the Group’s acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the Group may not be aware of prior
environmental safeguards, if any, that were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were
operated. The Group maintains comprehensive insurance coverage that it believes is adequate to mitigate the risk of any
adverse financial effects associated with these risks.
However, should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental cleanup or restoration, the
liability to cure such a violation could still fall upon the Group. No claim has been made, nor is the Group aware of any
liability which the Group may have, as it relates to any environmental cleanup, restoration, or the violation of any rules or
regulations relating thereto except for the matter discussed above.
Legal Proceedings
The Group is a party to legal proceedings encountered in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate
outcome and impact to the Group cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, it is remote that these
legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the Group’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Group is required to provide bank letters of credit and bank
guarantees for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, construction costs and other general
corporate purposes.
On December 19, 2024, TR Ltd., as guarantor, entered into the Facility Agreement with TR West, as borrower, each
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as obligors, and Macquarie Bank Limited (“Macquarie”), as lender. The
Facility Agreement provides TR West with A$25,000,000 in availability (“Facility A”) for letters of credit and bank
guarantees (“performance bonds”), and includestwo potential additional performance bond facilities, each in the amount of
A$5,000,000 (“Facility B” and “Facility C,” respectively, and collectively, the “Facilities”). Availability under the Facility
B and Facility C is subject, among other conditions, to the Company raising additional capital in the amounts of at least
A$62,500,000 and A$75,000,000, respectively. All Facilities terminate on December 19, 2027. The obligations under the
Facility Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by TR Ltd.
The Facilities are subject to customary representations, warranties and ongoing affirmative and negative covenants
and agreements. The Group is required to maintain Minimum Liquidity of A$20,000,000 and have a current ratio of at least
1:1. The Facility Agreement provides for events of default that include, among others, nonpayment of any amount due
under the Facility Agreement, breach of covenants and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an event of default
occurs, Macquarie will be able to, among other things, terminate the commitments immediately, declare any amounts
outstanding to be due and payable in whole or in part, and exercise other rights and remedies. The Group was in
compliance with all terms of the Facility Agreement as of March 31, 2025.
In relation to Facility A, the Group incurred an establishment fee of A$500,000. The outstanding letters of credit and
bank guarantees under the Facilities are subject to a drawdown fee of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The
Group is also required to pay a commitment fee of 4% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, on the average monthly
unused amount of the Facilities. If the borrower fails to pay any amount payable under the Facility Agreement by the due
date, interest accrues on the overdue amount at a rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.
As of March 31, 2025, there was A$7,684,129 of letters of credits issued under the Facility Agreement. As of
March 31, 2025 there was A$17,315,872 of unused credit under Facility A and A$10,000,000 of unused credit under
Facility B and Facility C.
Costs incurred in connection with securing the Facility Agreement, including fees paid to legal advisors and third
parties, are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Facility Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, total
unamortized debt issuance costs were A$770,142. During the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2025, the
Group recorded A$72,201 and A$96,268, respectively, as amortization of deferred debt issuance costs as a part of interest
expense.
In December 2024, Tamboran B1 Operator signed a Development Agreement (“DA”) with APA Group (“APA”) that
defines the conditions under which APA will design and construct the SPP. Under the DA, Tamboran B1 Operator is
required to put in place bank guarantees that cover approximately two-thirds of APA’s projected construction cost.
Tamboran’s share of the bank guarantees over the next three months is estimated to be A$10.7 million. Pursuant to the Gas
Transportation Agreement (“GTA”) signed with APA, the bank guarantees will be released by APA once certain
performance conditions are met and first gas has been delivered to the NT Government under the Gas Sales Agreement
(“GSA”). APA may call on the bank guarantees if certain defaults under the DA or GTA remain unremedied, which in turn
triggers a requirement by Tamboran B1 Operator to deposit cash amounts sufficient to cover the bank guarantees under the
Facility Agreement with Macquarie.
