Review of operations
Operational Highlights
➢ The combined production from Stonehorse’s Canadian working interests in oil and gas wells was 100,441 BOE during the year,
for a daily average of 283 BOE over that period. This does not reflect two (2) of the Drumheller wells drilled in fiscal 2025/26 that
were brought on production in August 2026 for an additional combined average daily production of approximately 225 BOED.
o In the last six months of fiscal 2025/26 compared to the last six months of fiscal 2024/25
▪ Revenue was up 156%
▪ Liquids ratio increased from 53% to 72%
▪ Realized price per BOE increased from $25.67 to $63.96
➢ US operations are consistent with a mature portfolio of producing assets. The US oil and gas well portfolio produced
approximately 53,872 BOE during the year for what is now seasoned production.
➢ Negotiations progressing on potential participation in multi well opportunities with a target investment decision in 2Q FY27 with
details to follow.
Operations review
Stonehorse is committed to its corporate strategy of building a portfolio of high-quality oil and gas production assets with working
interest percentages reflecting risk appetite and capital availability.
Canadian Assets
Stonehorse Canada (SCC) continues to execute on its strategic plan with participation in the oil weighted Drumheller development.
The company is also reviewing other oil weighted opportunities in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
During fiscal year, Stonehorse Canada Corporation (SCC) participated in six (6) successful wells, all in the Drumheller area of Alberta.
Four (4) of these wells were brought onstream prior to year end and two (2) wells were brought on production in August, 2026. With
the existing robust price environment, SCC continued this pace into FY27, participating in two (2) additional wells in the Drumheller
area during fiscal Q1 FY27. The Company plans to participate in additional wells throughout FY27.
Stonehorse is pleased to announce the disposition of its gas-weighted Caroline assets, effective May 1, 2026 for gross proceeds of

Company Specific Risks
Oil and Gas exploration and development risks
The business of oiland gas exploration, project development and production, by its nature, is highly speculative and contains elements
of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such
as:
- the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;
- access to adequate capital for project development;
- design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
- securing and maintaining title to interests;
- obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of oil and gas exploration, development and production; and
- access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of
appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful
exploration and establishment of production facilities. Factors including costs, actual hydrocarbons and formations, flow consistency
and reliability and commodity prices affect successful project development and operations.
Oil and gas exploration may involve drilling operations and exploration activities which do not generate a positive return on
investment. This may arise from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient revenues to return a
profit after accounting for drilling, operating and other associated costs. The production from successful wells may also be impacted
by various operating conditions, including insufficient storage or transportation capacity, or other geological and mechanical
conditions. In addition, managing drilling hazards or environmental damage and pollution caused by exploration and development
operations could greatly increase the associated cost and profitability of individual wells.
There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic deposit of oil or
gas. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.
Stonehorse Energy Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2026

Operational Risks
Oil and gas exploration and development activities involve numerous operational risks, including encountering unusual or unexpected
geological formations, mechanical breakdowns or failures, human errors and other unexpected events which occur in the process of
drilling and operating oil and gas wells.
The occurrence of any of these risks could result in substantial financial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage to
or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, environmental damage or pollution, clean-up responsibilities and
regulatory investigation, amongst other factors. Damages occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims
against the Company which may not be covered fully by insurance or at all.
Sovereign risks
The Company’s key project interests are situated in North America. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the risks associated in
operating in foreign countries. These risks include economic, social or political instabilities or change, hyperinflation, currency non-
convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions,
rates of exchange, exchange control, exploration licensing, export duties, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental
protection, labour relations as well as government control over natural resources or government relations that require the
employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents.
Contractual and Joint Venture Risk
The Directors are not able to presently assess the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the
Company is, or may become, a party or the insolvency or other failure by any of the contractors engaged by the Company for any
exploration or other activity. Any such failure or default could adversely affect the operations and performance of the Company and
the value of the Shares.
Industry risk
Oil and Gas Reserves and Production Estimates
Oil and Gas Reserves and production estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice.
Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.
In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extenton interpretations which may prove to
be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis the estimates are likely to change.
This may result in alterations to development plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s operations and the value of
the Shares.
Commercial Risk
The oil and gas exploration industry is competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of those resources is
discovered by the Company on its current projects or future projects it may acquire an interest in, a profitable market will exist for
sales of such resources. There can be no assurance that the quality of any such resources will be such that they can be extracted
economically.
Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks
If the Company achieves success leading to oil and gas production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of resources it may
discover exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and
are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for oil and gas,
technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors such as inflation expectations, interest rates
and general global economic conditions.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars whereas the income and
expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency. This exposes the Company to the fluctuations
and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international
markets. If the price of commodities declines this could have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and
possible production activities, and its ability to fund these activities, which may no longer be profitable.

Directors' report

Insurance Risks
Exploration for and development of oil and gas involves hazards and risks that could result in the Company incurring losses or liabilities
that could arise from its operations. If the Company incurs losses or liabilities which are not covered by its insurance policies, the
funds available for exploration and development will be reduced and the value and/or title to the Company’s assets may be at risk.
The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances the Company’s insurance
may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered
by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. Insurance against
all risks associated with oil andgas exploration and production is not always available and, where available, the costs canbe prohibitive
or not adequate to cover all claims.
Commercialisation
The Company’s potential future earnings, profitability, and growth are likely to be dependent upon the Company being able to
successfully implement some or all of its commercialisation plans. The Company’s ability to doso is further dependent upon a number
of factors, including matters which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company may not be successful in securing
identified customers or market opportunities.
The Company’s ability to sell and market its production will be negatively impacted in the event it is unable to secure adequate
transportation and processing. Access will depend on the proximity and capacity of pipelines and processing facilities. Furthermore,
the Company maybe required to develop its own pipeline infrastructure or secure access to third party pipeline infrastructure in order
to deliver oil and gas to key markets or customers, or to directly deliver gas to key markets or customers. The development of its own
pipeline infrastructure will be subject to the Company obtaining relevant approvals including pipeline licences.
General investment risks
General Economic Conditions
General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, the general level of activity within the resources industry,
movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration,
development and possible production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Volatility in Global Credit and Investment Markets
Global credit, commodity and investment markets may experience uncertainty and volatility. The factors which may lead to this
situation are outside the control of the Company and may impact the price at which the Shares trade regardless of operating
performance and affect the Company’s ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.
Government and Legal Risk
The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments (including introduction of tax reform),
developments in existing common law or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which
govern the Company’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and ultimately the
financial performance of the Company, or the Shares. The same adverse impact is possible by the introduction of new government
policy or amendments to existing government policy, including such matters as access to lands and infrastructure, compliance with
environmental regulations, taxation and royalties.
Financial position
As at 30 June 2026, the Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,438,155 from $5,277,388 at 30 June 2025 to $3,839,233
and had working capital of $6,764,317 (June 2025: $7,006,266).
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Other than referred to in the section of Review of Operations, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group
during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
On 2 September 2026, the Company announced that it had sold its US oil and gas interests to Brookside Energy Limited ("Brookside")
for approximately US$1.114 million, including cash and the transfer of 7.5 million shares in the Company held by Brookside.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2026 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's
operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Company is actively pursuing business development in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, focusing on non-operated
drilling, work-over wellbore investments, and potential corporate M&A opportunities. The team is working on several opportunities
simultaneously. Despite a challenging price environment, the Company views this as a favourable time to invest and expand its
Canadian operations. However, there is no guarantee that these opportunities will result in completed transactions or deliver the
anticipated outcomes.
Environmental regulation
The Group’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in relation to its exploration activities. The Directors are not aware
of any outstanding breaches.
The Directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduced a
single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions,
greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the Directors have
determined that the NGER Act has no effect on the Group for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The Directors will reassess
this position as and when the need arises.

● Equity participation is a cost effective and efficient incentive given the Group's pre-production status.
The Board of Stonehorse Energy Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and
retainthe bestexecutives and Directors to run andmanagetheGroup, as wellas creategoalcongruencebetween directors, executives
and shareholders.
Shares and options may only be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.
The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes.
The remuneration structure for KMP is based ona number of factors, including length ofservice, particular experience of the individual
concerned, and overall performance of the Group. The contracts for service between the Group and KMP are on a continuing basis,
the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.
The Board determines the proportion of fixed and variable compensation for each KMP.
Director's fees are reviewed annually by the Board. No termination payments are payable to Non-Executive Directors.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration
is separate.
