In accordance with a resolution of the Board, the directors present their report on the consolidated entity ("Galilee" or "Company") consisting of Galilee Energy Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of or during the year ended 30 June 2021. The financial statements have been reviewed and approved by the directors based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.

2. Principal activities

Galilee Energy Limited (Galilee) is a Brisbane based energy company with a portfolio of assets primarily focussed onshore Australia.

The principal activity of the consolidated entity is oil and gas exploration and production. The foundation asset of the Company is the Glenaras Gas Project located in the Galilee Basin near Longreach in Queensland and further details are contained within the Managing Director's Report provided earlier in this report and in the Review of Operations below.

3. Strategy

The Company's strategy is to build a balanced portfolio of high quality, conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets. The primary focus is on commercialising the Glenaras Gas Project with an emphasis on the structurally short supplied eastern Australia gas market. Outlook for new gas supply into the east coast market is bleak, with gas supply shortfalls forecast from 2023 by ACCC and AEMO, this timing accords well with the Company's significant uncontracted resource base and the cost competitiveness of our assets in comparison with alternative gas supply sources.

4. Results from operations

The net loss for the year from continuing operations was $18.5 million (2020: $17 million).

The loss for the year primarily reflects expenditure on drilling and pump enhancements at the Glenaras multi well pilot (Pilot), Glenaras Pilot operating costs and water management projects totalling $18 million (2020: $14 million).

5. Dividends

No dividends have been declared, provided for, or paid in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: Nil).

6. Review of operations

Galilee has a high quality portfolio of acreage across three different basins

in Queensland with one of the largest contingent gas resource bases on the

east coast. In addition, all acreage is held at 100% working interest and

these assets offer both conventional and unconventional targets with a clear

pathway to market.

The Company's flagship Glenaras Gas Project lies within the highly

prospective ATP 2019 permit in Queensland's Galilee Basin. The permit

covers an area of approximately 3,200 km2 and is 100% owned and

operated by Galilee Energy (Figure 1). The project contains a significant

coal seam gas Contingent Resource position in the Betts Creek and Aramac

coals with a 1C of 308 PJ, a 2C of 2,508 PJ and a 3C of 5,314 PJ, as a

result of the extensive historical exploration activity within the permit.

Significant activity was undertaken on the ATP 2019 permit during the year.

Following on from the results of the Glenaras 17A observation well and the

Schlumberger reservoir simulation study, an additional five vertical wells were

drilled safely, on time and within budget. The objective of these additional wells was to accelerate the dewatering and consequent reservoir pressure drawdown, with the objective of bringing forward the onset of commercial gas production.

During the latter part of the reporting period we reached a significant milestone with direct measurements confirming the central area of the pilot is below critical desorption pressure, and producing increasing gas, along with progressive pressure depletion in the outer vertical wells.

The pressure depletion in the outer wells, including a well 8 kms from the central pilot area, evidences excellent lateral connectivity in the coal seams across a large area of the permit. This augurs well for full field project economics as well as providing context for the additional amount of time taken thus far to reduce the pressure in the pilot area.

The accelerated dewatering required a consequential increase in water handling capacity, and to this end the Company now has three irrigation systems fully operational, with the fourth cut of sorghum under irrigation at the first pivot area.

Galilee has further secured the entirety of the company's extensive Contingent Resource in ATP 2019 with the concurrent award of two new Potential Commercial Areas (PCAs). PCAs 314 and 315 have been awarded for 15 years and 10 years respectively. The award of these two PCAs is a key step towards commercialisation of the Glenaras Gas Project as it is a

clear acknowledgement by the Queensland Government of the highly material certified Contingent Resource, providing Galilee with the required time to mature these resources to Reserves and produce gas to market.

In other areas in the Company's portfolio, evaluation of several conventional gas leads in ATP 2050 is ongoing. Any new discovery would be strategically located for access to gas markets and existing associated gathering and processing infrastructure. Exploration work is also progressing across the ATP 2043 Kumbarilla project, and has identified several prospective, conventional oil and gas leads, along with increased definition of the Walloon Subgroup coal seam gas play. These opportunities will continue to be matured towards potential exploration drilling.

Late in the reporting period, long serving Managing Director Peter Lansom retired as Managing Director and a Director of the Company, although the company retains access to his extensive subsurface engineering experience and expertise. The role of Managing Director has been filled on an interim basis by current non-executive Director and former Chairman Dr David King.

In addition, Mr David Woodley and Mr Jason Whitcombe were appointed to the permanent senior staff positions of Chief Operating Officer and Operations Manager respectively. Both David and Jason have been embedded in key roles within the Company since the first quarter of 2021, and have extensive experience working on large scale commercial coal seam gas developments with other major Queensland CSG operators, which contributed greatly to the recent successful implementation of the pump enhancement programme.

The changes implemented are the culmination of a strategic review undertaken by a designated Board committee and bolster the existing experienced leadership and highly qualified technical and commercial management. These changes cover all aspects of project development and Reserves growth and position the Company well as it transitions to commercialisation of its natural gas assets. In anticipation of this transition, and as part of this review process, the Company is well advanced on developing its comprehensive, fit-for-purpose ESG statement.

Despite the considerable disruption on global markets due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Galilee Board and management teams have successfully worked through the volatility and uncertainty and positioned Galilee to deliver on its growth plans and have maintained a strong financial position. The Company proactively adapted its operating procedures both in head office and field operations in accordance with the government requirements associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The safety of our staff and all contractors is paramount and with the revised operating procedures there has been no disruption thus far to the drilling programmes or field operations.

Galilee's diversified gas acreage in Queensland has the potential to meet the forecast supply-demand gap that exists on the east coast of Australia from around 2022.. The infrastructure partnership Galilee has with Jemena underpins our Glenaras Gas Project development plans, which has been bolstered following the signing of Heads of Agreements for the sale of gas to both Alinta Energy and Sunshot Energy in the past 12 months.

Galilee has a deep commitment to working with community stakeholders in the areas within which we operate. Galilee operates on the basis of mutual respect and co-existence with all of its stakeholders as the key pillar of its community relations with government, landowners and the broader community.

The Company manages both operational and corporate risk in accordance with its risk management policy to ensure that the risks associated with oil and gas exploration activities are identified, measured and mitigated to the lowest practicable level. Risk assessments across the Companies' business are conducted on a regular basis by the management team and are reported through to the Risk Committee.

Policies and procedures are continually developed, reviewed and enhanced as appropriate to manage the current and changing operational and corporate risks of the business.
