FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This MD&A contains “forward-looking
statements” as defined in U.S. federal and Canadian securities laws. Such statements are generally identifiable by the terminology
used such as “may,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “budgets,” “targets” or other
similar wording suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. We have based these forward-looking statements
on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included
in or incorporated by reference in this MD&A are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, statements regarding our business strategies and plans; plans for and anticipated timing of our exploration and appraisal
(including drilling plans) and other business activities and results therefrom; anticipated timing of certain well testing and
resource certifications under the Total SSA (as defined herein); characteristics of our properties; construction and development
of a proposed liquefaction plant in Papua New Guinea; the timing and cost of such construction and development; commercialization
and monetization of any resources; whether sufficient resources will be established; the likelihood of successful exploration
for gas and gas condensate or other hydrocarbons; cash flows from operations; sources of capital and its sufficiency; operating
costs; contingent liabilities; environmental matters; and plans and objectives for future operations; and timing, maturity and
amount of future capital and other expenditures.
Many risks and uncertainties may affect
matters addressed in these forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:
| · | the
uncertainty associated with the availability, terms and deployment of capital;
|
| · | our
ability to obtain and maintain necessary permits, concessions, licenses and approvals
from relevant State (as defined herein) authorities to develop our gas and condensate
resources within reasonable periods and on reasonable terms or at all; |
| · | inherent
uncertainty of oil and gas exploration; |
| · | we
will be transitioning the operatorship of PRL 15 (as defined here in) to Total (as defined
herein) in accordance with the provisions of the JVOA (as defined herein); |
| · | the
difficulties with recruitment and retention of qualified personnel; |
| · | the
political, legal and economic risks in Papua New Guinea; |
| · | landowner
claims and disruption; |
| · | compliance
with and changes in Papua New Guinean laws and regulations, including environmental laws; |
| · | the
exploration and production businesses are competitive; |
| · | the
inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to errors that may
occur and not be detected; |
| · | exposure
to certain uninsured risks stemming from our operations; |
| · | weather
conditions and unforeseen operating hazards; |
| · | compliance
with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively
impact our business; |

sovereign debt-credit crisis, downgrading of United States government debt and the decline
in commodity prices; |
| · | risk
of legal action against us; and |
| · | law
enforcement difficulties. |
Forward-looking statements and information
are based on our current beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to us concerning anticipated
financial conditions and performance, business prospects, strategies, regulatory developments, the ability to attract joint venture
partners, future hydrocarbon commodity prices, the ability to secure adequate capital funding, the ability to obtain equipment
and qualified personnel in a timely manner to develop resources, the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, and the
ability to develop reserves and production through development and exploration activities.
Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 2 |
Although we believe that the assumptions
underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot
assure you that the forward-looking statements will eventuate.
In light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in our forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us
or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Some of these assumptions and other risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described
under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2014 AIF.
Further, forward-looking statements contained
in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by applicable law, we will not update publicly or revise
any of these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by

one barrel of crude equivalent. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
A boe conversion ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil equivalent
is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner
tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. |
| (2) | Tcfes may be misleading, particularly
if used in isolation. A Tcfe conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic
feet of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable
at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. |

474 - Wahoo drilling program |
| - | Wahoo-1 exploration well is about
170 kilometers southeast of our Elk and Antelope gas fields. On July 14, 2014, we announced
that we had suspended drilling the Wahoo-1 well in PPL 474 after intersecting gas and
higher-than expected pressures. The DPE approved this suspension to enable us to re-evaluate
the drilling plan. |
| - | The mobilization of crew to site
is currently ongoing, and we intend to resume drilling in the second quarter of 2015. |
| · | PPL
475 – Raptor drilling program |

| - | On September 16, 2014, we spudded
the Antelope-4 appraisal well. The Antelope-4 appraisal well intersected the top reservoir
at 1,911 meters. During January 2015, a derrick structural member was noted as being
slightly bowed outside tolerance. The repairs were carried out and drilling recommenced.
The cores were cut in the upper part of the reservoir as planned, resulting in a recovery
of 33 meters of dolomite. On April 27, 2015, we announced the suspension of the Antelope-4
appraisal well drilling at 2,134 meters. The PRL 15 Joint Venture is currently evaluating
the information obtained from the well. |
| - | On December 23, 2014, we spudded

Analysis Comparing Financial Condition
as at March 31, 2015 and 2014
As at March 31, 2015, our debt-to-capital
ratio (being debt divided by [shareholders’ equity plus debt]) was 6%, compared to 22% as at March 31, 2014, well below
our targeted maximum gearing level of 50%. Gearing targets are based on several factors including operating cash flows, future
cash needs for development, capital market and economic conditions, and are assessed regularly. Our current ratio (being current
assets divided by current liabilities), which measures our ability to meet short-term obligations, was 4.2 times as at March 31,
2015, compared to 1.7 times as at March 31, 2014. The current ratio satisfied our internal target of above 1.5 times as at March
31, 2015.
Variance in Total Assets:
As at March 31, 2015, our total assets
amounted to $1,318.1 million, compared with $1,737.2 million as at March 31, 2014. The decrease of $419.1 million, or 24%, from
March 31, 2014 was primarily due to:
| - | $177.5 million decrease in cash
and cash equivalents and restricted cash, mainly attributable to the expenditure on exploration
and evaluation assets incurred during the period. |
| - | $33.4 million decrease in trade
and other receivables mainly due to the timing/receipt of joint venture partners’
cash calls during the period. |
| - | $17.5 million decrease in investments
accounted for using equity method, which is attributable to our share of losses incurred
by the PNG LNG joint venture resulting from the impairment of joint venture assets, as
we are now progressing the LNG Project development jointly with Total. |
| - | The Puma Transaction resulted in
the decrease in plant and equipment by $232.8 million, inventories by $190.0 million
and deferred tax assets by $48.6 million. |
These decreases have been partially
offset by:
| - | $284.7 million increase in exploration
and evaluation assets, primarily associated with the drilling costs incurred for Wahoo-1
well in PPL 474, Triceratops-3 appraisal well in PRL 39 and Raptor-1 well in PPL 475,
Bobcat-1 exploration well in PPL 476, Antelope-4 and Antelope-5 appraisal well in PRL
15. |
Variance in Total Liabilities:
As at March 31, 2015, our total liabilities
amounted to $307.7 million, compared with $641.6 million at March 31, 2014. The decrease of $333.9 million, or 52%, from March
31, 2014 was primarily due to:
| - | A decrease of $253.2 million in
secured and unsecured loans payable due to the full repayment in June 2014 of the BSP
and Westpac combined secured loan facility, the ANZ, BSP Paribas and BNP syndicated loan
facility and the full repayment in April 2014 of the Credit Suisse led syndicated secured
loan post receipt of the Total SSA completion payment. |
| - | $48.0 million decrease in trade
and other payables, mainly due to the sale of the refinery and distribution businesses;
however, this decrease has partly been offset by the $58.3 million increase in seismic
and drilling accruals as at March 31, 2015. |
| - | The Puma Transaction also resulted
in the decrease in working capital facilities by $12.7 million and income tax payable
by $17.8 million. |
Analysis of Consolidated Financial
Results Comparing Quarter Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Our net loss for the quarter ended March
31, 2015 was $21.9 million, compared with a net profit of $318.6 million for the same quarter in 2014, a decrease of profit by
$340.5 million, which primarily resulted from the recognition of the $340.5 million gain on conveyance of oil and gas properties
in relation to the completion of the Total SSA during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
The table below analyzes key movements,

Variance
($ millions) |
|
|
|
($340.5) |
|
Net (loss)/profit variance for the comparative periods primarily due to: |
Ø |
($340.5) |
|
Gain on conveyance of exploration and evaluation assets in relation to the completion of the
Total SSA recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 under which Total acquired, through the purchase of all shares
of a wholly owned subsidiary, a gross participating interest of 40.1275% (net 31.0988%, after the State back-in right of 22.5%)
in PRL 15, which contains the Elk and Antelope gas fields. |
Ø |
($7.8) |
|
Decrease in profit from discontinued operations during first quarter of 2014. |
Ø |
$3.6 |
|
Decrease in administrative and
general expenses was mainly due to the new cost methodology employed since the fourth quarter of 2014, whereby operational
costs were allocated to exploration and evaluation assets, rather than a standard cost recharge process used prior to
the change, which previously resulted in expensing of under recovered costs incurred for joint venture projects.
A total of $1.8 million from the
administrative and general expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was charged to Puma as other revenue for certain
transition services provided post divestment. These transitional services mainly related to the computing and communications
services and occupancy expenses in PNG. |
Ø |
$11.4 |
|
Increase in interest income was attributable to the interest accretion income on the receivables
recognized in relation to interim resource payments expected under the Total SSA for the Elk and Antelope fields in accordance
with the resource certification mechanics found in the Total SSA and the range of resources contemplated therein. |
Ø |
($10.6) |
|
Increase in exploration costs primarily attributable to the expensing of seismic activities
over the Murua lead in PPL 474 and exploration seismic over PPL 475, and airborne gravity survey costs incurred for PPL 476,
PPL 477 and PRL 15. |
Ø |
$2.7 |
|
Decrease in interest expense was largely due to the non-utilization of the Credit Suisse led
syndicated facility during the quarter as compared to $150.0 million drawn under the facility in the prior year quarter. |
Ø |
$1.4 |
|
Decrease in depreciation expense due to capitalization of the depreciation relating to supporting
assets to the respective projects undertaken during the quarter. Depreciation in relation to assets supporting
the exploration costs expensed has been included in the exploration costs line above. |
Analysis of Consolidated Cash
Flows Comparing Quarters Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
As at March 31, 2015, we had cash, cash
equivalents, and restricted cash of $304.7 million (March 31, 2014 - $482.2 million), of which $8.3 million (March 31, 2014 -
$61.5 million) was restricted. Of the total restricted cash at March 31, 2015, $8.0 million was restricted as a debt reserve under
the Credit Suisse led syndicated secured loan and the balance was made up of a cash deposit on office premises and term deposits
on our PPLs.

Variance for the comparative periods primarily
due to: |
Ø |
($19.8)
|
Increase in cash used in operations, prior to changes
in operating working capital for the quarter, was mainly due to the increase in net loss from operations adjusted for the
increased accretion income on receivable, gain on conveyance of PRL 15 pursuant to the Total SSA and a decrease in depreciation
expense incurred during the current quarter ended March 31, 2015. |
Ø |
$1.6 |
Decrease in cash used in the operations relating
to changes in operating working capital for the quarter was due to a $23.2 million increase in trade and other receivables,
a $32.7 million decrease in inventories, a $7.6 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and a $0.3 million
increase in other current assets and prepaid expenses. |

DISCOUNTINUED
OPERATIONS
We had previously organized our operations
into four major segments - Upstream, Midstream, Downstream and Corporate. On June 30, 2014, we disposed of our Midstream Refining
and Downstream businesses in connection with the Puma Transaction and as a result, these businesses have been classified as discontinued
operations for reporting purpose. In addition, the shipping business which was previously included within the Corporate segment
has also been classified as a discontinued operation as the activities previously carried out by that business have been transferred
with the sale of the refining and distribution businesses. At March 31, 2015, no additional discontinued operations have been
recognized.
Further
details in relation to discontinued operations can be found under the heading “Discontinued Operations” in our 2014

Credit Suisse led Syndicated
Secured Loan
On June 17, 2014, we replaced our $250.0
million syndicated loan led by Credit Suisse with a $300.0 million syndicated, senior secured capital expenditure facility through
a consortium of banks led by Credit Suisse. CBA, ANZ, UBS, Macquarie, BSP, BNP Paribas and Westpac, each of which was a participating
lender under the original facility, in addition to new banks, MUFG and SocGen, support the facility. The facility had an annual
interest rate of LIBOR plus 5% and was to mature at the end of 2015.
On March 17, 2015, we signed an amendment
to further extend the maturity date on this facility to the end of 2016 with Credit Suisse, CBA, ANZ, UBS, Macquarie, BSP, Westpac,
MUFG and SocGen participating in the extension. No drawdowns have been made under this facility as at March 31, 2015. As at March
31, 2015, we are in compliance with the applicable debt covenants, which included a defined calculation for gearing not to exceed
60% at any time, and the equity does not fall below $500 million at any time.
Unsecured 2.75% Convertible
Notes
On November 10, 2010, we completed the
issuance of $70.0 million of Convertible Notes with a maturity of five years (November 10, 2015). The Convertible Notes rank junior
to any secured indebtedness and to all existing and future liabilities of us and our subsidiaries, including the Credit Suisse
led syndicated secured loan facility, trade payables and lease obligations.
We pay interest on the Convertible Notes
semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash or our common shares, based on an initial
conversion rate of 10.4575 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately
$95.625 per common share. The initial conversion price is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions designed to maintain the
value of the conversion option in the event we take certain actions with respect to our common shares, such as stock splits, reverse
stock splits, stock dividends and cash dividends, that affect all of the holders of our common shares equally and that could have
a dilutive effect on the value of the conversion rights of the holders of the Convertible Notes or that confer a benefit on our
current shareholders not otherwise available to the Convertible Notes. On conversion, holders will receive cash, common shares
or a combination thereof, at our option. The Convertible Notes are redeemable at our option if our share price has been at least
125% ($119.53 per share) of the conversion price for at least 15 trading days during any 20 consecutive trading day period. On
a fundamental change, which would include a change of control, holders may require us to repurchase their Convertible Notes for
cash at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 14 |
Only $2,000 of the Convertible Notes have
been converted into cash since issuance.
Other Sources of Capital
Our share of expenditures on exploration
wells, appraisal wells and extended well programs is funded by capital raising activities, debt, cash calls from joint venture
partners and asset sales.
Cash calls are made on Total, Oil Search
and PNGDV for their share and carry (where applicable) of expenditure on appraisal wells and extended well programs under agreements
we have with them. Cash calls will also be made on PRE for exploration activities in PPL 475 and appraisal activities in the Triceratops
field.

Capital Requirements
Existing cash balances will be sufficient
to settle debt obligations and facilitate further development of the Elk and Antelope fields, appraisal of Triceratops field and
exploration activities planned to meet our license commitment requirements. However, oil and gas exploration and development and
liquefaction are capital intensive and our business plans involve raising capital, which depends on market conditions when we
raise such capital. Additionally, our joint venture share of the costs of construction of an liquefaction plant and other infrastructure
associated with the proposed liquefaction plant may amount to hundreds of millions of dollars and thus exceed our existing cash
balances. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining new capital on terms that are acceptable to us, particularly
with market volatility.

RISK
FACTORS
Our business operations and financial
position are subject to risks. A summary of the key risks that may affect matters addressed in this document have been included
under “Forward Looking Statements” above. Detailed risk factors can be found under “Risk Factors”
in our 2014 AIF available at www.sedar.com.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements
in accordance with IFRS requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effect
of changes in estimates on future periods have not been disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as
estimating it is impracticable. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes in the critical accounting estimates
disclosed in our 2014 MD&A.
For a discussion of those accounting policies,
please refer to Note 2 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, available at
www.sedar.com, which summarizes our significant accounting policies.
NEW
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New accounting standards not yet
applicable as at March 31, 2015
These
new standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2015 and have not been early
adopted:
| – | IFRS
9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from January 1, 2018):
This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard
is not applicable until January 1, 2018 but is available for early adoption. We have
yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact, but we do not expect any material changes due
to this standard. We have not yet decided whether to early adopt IFRS 9. |
| – | IFRS
14 ‘Regulatory deferral accounts’ (effective from January 1, 2016):
This standard permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts related to
rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt IFRS.
However, the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from other items.
This standard will have no impact on InterOil. |
| – | IFRS
15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from January
1, 2017): The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized
when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, so the notion of control replaces
the existing notion of risks and rewards. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
this standard. |
NON-GAAP
MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION
Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, included
in this MD&A are not defined nor have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or our previous GAAP. Accordingly, they may
not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers.
EBITDA represents our net income/(loss)
plus total interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization
expense. EBITDA is used by us to analyze operating performance. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP
(i.e. IFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. The items excluded
from EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results. Therefore, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as
an alternative to net earnings, operating profit, net cash provided from operating activities and other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further, EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow under IFRS and should not be considered
as such.
This table reconciles net (loss)/profit
from continuing operations, a GAAP measure, to EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure for each of the last eight
quarters.

DISCLOSURE
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures to provide
reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to us is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer by others, particularly during the period in which the annual and interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) information
required to be disclosed by us in our annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by us under securities
legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time specified in securities legislation. Such officers
have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
at our financial year-end and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at December 31, 2014 for
the foregoing purposes.
While our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that they are effective,
they do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures will necessarily prevent all errors and fraud. A control system,
no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met.
Internal Controls over Financial
Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, internal controls over financial reporting
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Such officers have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision,
the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting at our financial year-end and concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting is effective, at December 31, 2014, for the foregoing purpose.
Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 19 |
Material Changes in Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
No material change in our internal controls
over financial reporting were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
A control system, including our disclosure
and internal controls and procedures, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system will be met, no matter how well it is conceived, and it should not be expected that the disclosure and internal controls
and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited, Expressed in United States dollars) |
|
InterOil Corporation (the "Company"
or "InterOil") is a publicly traded, upstream oil and gas exploration and production company operating in Papua New Guinea
(“PNG”). The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and was continued under the Business Corporations Act
(Yukon Territory) on August 24, 2007. The address of its registered office is 300-204 Black Street, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements were approved by the Directors for issue on May 7, 2015. The board of directors have the power to amend and reissue
the financial report.
| 2. | Significant accounting policies |
These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable
to the preparation of interim financial statements including IAS 34 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and should
be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 which have been prepared in accordance
with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
The condensed consolidated interim financial
statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative
financial instruments, which are measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements requires
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying
the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company
makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the
related actual results.
| (a) | Statement on liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements |
These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities
in the normal course of business as they become due.
The net current assets as at March 31, 2015
amounted to $682.2 million compared to $295.2 million as at March 31, 2014. The Company has cash, cash equivalents and cash restricted
of $304.7 million as at March 31, 2015 (March 2014 - $482.2 million), of which $8.3 million is restricted (March 2014 - $61.5 million).
The Company’s primary use of capital
resources has been the exploration and development activities. The Company has to execute exploration activities within a set timeframe
to meet the minimum license commitments in relation to the Company’s Petroleum Prospecting Licenses (“PPLs”)
and Petroleum Retention Licenses (“PRLs”). Refer to note 12 for further information on these commitments. Subject to
meeting the license commitment requirements, the Company’s capital expenditure can be accelerated or decelerated at its discretion.
Existing cash balances will be sufficient to
settle debt obligations and to facilitate further necessary development of the Elk and Antelope fields, appraisal of Triceratops
field and exploration activities planned to meet our license commitment requirements. However, oil and gas exploration and development
and liquefaction are capital intensive and our business plans involve raising capital, which depends on market conditions when
we raise such capital. Additionally, our joint venture share of the costs of construction of an LNG plant and other infrastructure
associated with a proposed LNG plant may amount to hundreds of millions of dollars and thus exceed our existing cash balances.
No assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining new capital on terms that are acceptable to us, particularly
with market volatility. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in the
belief that the Company will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and
for at least the amounts stated, for a period not less than one year from the date of this financial report.
The accounting policies followed in these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

| 2. | Significant accounting policies (cont’d) |
| (c) | New standards issued but not yet effective |
The following new standards have been issued
but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2015 and have not been early adopted:
| - | IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from January 1, 2018):
This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1,
2018 but is available for early adoption. The Company is yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact, but does not expect any material
changes due to this standard. The Company has not yet decided to early adopt IFRS 9. |
| - | IFRS 14 ‘Regulatory deferral accounts’ (effective from January 1, 2016):
This standard permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with
their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt IFRS. However, the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from
other items. This standard will have no impact on the Company. |
| - | IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from January
1, 2017): The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service
transfers to a customer, so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this standard. |
| 3. | Financial risk management |
The Company’s activities expose it to
a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and geographic risk. The Company’s overall risk management
program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance
of the Company.
Risk Management is carried out under policies
approved by the board of directors of InterOil. The Finance Department identifies, evaluates and actively mitigates financial risks
in close cooperation with the Company’s operations. The board of directors of InterOil provides written principles for overall
risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks
to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

|
| 3. | Financial risk management (cont’d) |
The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents
and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company approximates their carrying amounts.
The carrying values (less impairment provision
if provided) of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The
carrying value of financial liabilities approximates their fair values which, for disclosure purposes, are estimated by discounting
the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financial instruments.
Commodity derivative contracts’ is the
only item from the above table that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. All the remaining financial assets and financial
liabilities are measured at a fair value on a non-recurring basis and are maintained at historical amortized cost.
The fair value of financial assets and financial
liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Company has classified the fair value
measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair
value hierarchy shall have the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - inputs other than
quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly
(i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset
or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(i) Derivative contracts classified as being
at fair value through profit and loss are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the current market rate for a contract
with the same remaining period to maturity. The fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts were based on price indications
provided to us by an external brokerage who entered into derivative transactions with counter parties on the Company’s behalf.
The contracts related to the hedging of certain product price risk exposures were transferred to Puma Energy Pacific Holdings Pte
Ltd (“Puma”) on completion of the sale of the Midstream Refining operation on June 30, 2014.
(ii) All secured loans are subject to floating
interest rates and as such the carrying values of these loans are assumed to approximate their fair values. These secured loans
were repaid during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
| 4. | Discontinued operations |
On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into
share sale and purchase agreements with Puma for the sale of InterOil subsidiaries that hold the oil refinery and petroleum products
distribution businesses, which were previously included within the Midstream Refining and Downstream segments respectively. The
results of operations for these sold businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement
for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the shipping business which was previously included within the Corporate segment
has also been classified as a discontinued operation in the consolidated income statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2014,
as the activities previously being carried out by the business have been transferred to Puma with the sale of the refining and
distribution businesses.
Cash flows from these discontinued operations
have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarter
ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Cash flows generated from/(used in) the discontinued operations are presented in the following table.

The reduction in trade and other receivables
as at March 31, 2015 compared to the balance as at March 31, 2014 is due to the divestment of the operating businesses on June
30, 2014. Other receivables mainly relates to cash calls receivable from joint venture partners.
Refer to note 6 for details of the Total transaction.
The Interim Resource Payment, as defined under the share sale agreement (“Total SSA”) with Total S.A. (“Total”),
which is due to the Company, following the interim certification has been calculated to be $593,887,429 based on a resource estimate
of 7.10 Tcfe in accordance with the resource certification mechanics found in the Total SSA and the range of resources contemplated
therein. The Company has recognized $10,851,196 as a result of unwinding the discount on the receivable as interest income during
the quarter ended March 31, 2015. In addition, this receivable has been reduced by $2,369,188 during the quarter ended March 31,
2015, which represents a portion of the carry received from Total for development activities undertaken over PRL 15, which is to
be offset against the Interim Resource Payment when due. The following table shows the movement in the receivable during the period.
