INTERIM STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2018

Spitfire Oil Limited ("Spitfire" or "the Company") is pleased to publish a copy of its condensed consolidated unaudited interim results for the six months ended the 31st December 2018.

Spitfire and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") recorded a loss before tax for the six months ended the 31st December 2018 of A$325,594 (2017: A$444,534). With cash balances of A$2.3m, the Group has benefited from interest receipts of A$11,715 (2017 A$15,267) in the period. With all directors fees suspended and other administration costs curtailed operating costs were reduced to A$86,680 (2017 A$228,510) and provision has been made for impairment of exploration and development costs incurred of A$250,629 (2017 A$231,291).

Chairman's Statement

Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented, "The superficial view of the Company's six month operating performance shows a company with no operations and overheads cut to the bare bone, including all directors fees suspended and administrative costs cut to the barest minimum. But it would be a mistake to assume the Company is dormant. Poor, uneconomic and unmineable assets are always available. But this is the road to nowhere and leads to a waste of shareholders fund and the eventual dilution of the Company's share capital. That is why the Company continues to search, investigate, evaluate and attempts to negotiate transactions which will add real value to the Company and its shareholders. It is not easy and it takes an incredibly long time to consummate such a transaction. When it eventually occurs, hopefully, the wait will have been worthwhile."

Notes to the CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED financial statements

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE SIX MONTH FINANCIAL REPORT

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the six month reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.

The summary accounts set out above do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 84 of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 or Section 435 of the UK Companies Act 2006. The condensed consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2018 and the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's 2018 statutory financial statements upon which the auditors' have opined that they were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning the carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation costs totalling $4.340 million in relation to the Salmon Gums Project for the year ended 30 June 2016 and qualified their audit opinion accordingly. As a result of this matter, the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning the opening balance for the current year as at 1 July 2016. Since opening capitalised exploration and evaluation costs balance affects the determination of the profit or loss for the year and cash flows, the auditors were unable to determine whether adjustments to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the net cash flow from operating activities reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows might be necessary for the year ended 30 June 2017, and the auditors qualified their opinion accordingly. The auditors opinion on the financial statements to 30th June 2018 is also modified because of the possible effect of this matter on the comparability of the figures for the year to 30th June 2018 and the corresponding figures.

This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Spitfire Oil Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements.

Copies of this interim report are available from the Company's London office, 8th Floor, 54 Jermyn Street, London, SW1Y 6LX.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the six months ended 31 December 2018, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018.

It has been determined by the Group that, there is no material impact of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to the Group's accounting policies.

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

No retrospective change in accounting policy or material reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.
