Independent Auditor's ReportTo the Shareholders of Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
OpinionWe have audited the consolidated financial statements of Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for OpinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going ConcernWe draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Group requires additional funding in order to continue as a going concern. As stated in Note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit MattersKey audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report.
Hungary Decommissioning Provision
Description of the key audit matter
The Group has recognized a decommissioning provision related to the dismantling, decommissioning and site disturbance remediation activities of its assets in Hungary. This provision involves significant judgment and estimation by management, particularly in relation to the estimated
BDO Canada LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership, is a member of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the International BDO network of independent member firms.
costs. Given the judgment and estimation in the determination of the costs of the decommissioning provision, this was considered a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 2 and 3(i) to the consolidated financial statements for the decommissioning provision accounting policy and Note 23 for the critical judgments and estimations applied in the measurement of this decommissioning provision.
How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit
Our approach in addressing this matter included the following procedures, among others:
Obtaining and reviewing management's calculation of the Hungary decommissioning provision and assessment of costs in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets;Evaluating the independence, objectivity, and professional qualifications of the third-party management and auditor experts in determining the estimated costs used in the measurement of decommissioning provision;
Reviewing the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including those related to significant judgements and estimates.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion & Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is John Leavitt.

General Information
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Falcon") is an oil and gas company engaged in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas assets. Falcon's interests are located in Australia, Hungary and South Africa.
Falcon is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada with a registered office at 1200 Waterfront Centre, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver BC V7X 1T2, Canada and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Falcon's Common Shares are traded on Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") (symbol: FO.V) and AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange (symbol: FOG).
The information provided herein in respect of Falcon includes information in respect of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: TXM Oil and Gas Exploration Kft., a Hungarian limited liability company ("TXM"); Falcon Oil & Gas Ireland Ltd., an Irish limited liability company ("Falcon Ireland"); Falcon Oil & Gas Holdings Ireland Ltd., an Irish limited liability company ("Falcon Holdings Ireland"); Falcon Exploration and Production South Africa (Pty) Ltd., a South African limited liability company ("Falcon South Africa") and its 98.1% majority owned subsidiary, Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited, an Australian limited liability company ("Falcon Australia") (collectively, the "Company" or the "Group").
- Material accounting policies
The material accounting policies adopted by the Group are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation and going concernPrepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
On 30 September 2025 Falcon and Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN) ("Tamboran") entered into a transaction ("Transaction") whereby Tamboran will acquire all of Falcon's subsidiaries (as listed under "1. General Information") in exchange for 6,537,503 shares of Tamboran NYSE Common Stock (the "Share Consideration") and cash consideration of $23.7 million (the "Cash Consideration") for non-eligible shareholders, which was approved by the Company's shareholders on 11 March 2026. The Transaction will result in the transfer of substantially all of the Group's assets and liabilities, and it will have no active operations going forward. Pursuant to the Transaction, eligible Falcon shareholders will exchange their common shares for the Share Consideration on the basis of 0.00687 Tamboran common shares for each Falcon common share and the Cash Consideration will be paid by Tamboran into a blocked account in the name of a sanctioned shareholder. The Transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. Furthermore, as agreed as part of the Transaction, Tamboran has, subject to certain conditions, agreed to use commercially reasonable endeavours to pay any cash calls or credit support required to be paid by Falcon, in accordance with the terms of the Beetaloo Joint Operating Agreement and the APA Development Agreement as applicable from the 30 September 2025. The Arrangement Agreement further provides that, upon termination under certain circumstances, Falcon would be required to pay to Tamboran a termination fee of
$1.62 million or reimburse Tamboran for its documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the arrangement in connection with such termination and should Tamboran terminate they would be required to pay to Falcon a termination fee of $3.75 million in connection with such termination.
As of 31 December 2025, the Group had $1.3 million of cash and cash equivalents however that money has been expended at the date of the approval of these financial statements. Tamboran has provided funding in the intervening period to ensure Falcon continues to meet its obligations as they fall due in the period to completion of the Transaction. In addition to this, Falcon has submitted a Research and Development tax Incentive application for approximately $2 million with the refund expected subsequent to the issue of the financial statements and will provide additional cash resources for the Group towards its own operating costs.
Management and those charged with governance are confident that the Transaction will be completed since shareholder approval was obtained on 11 March 2026 and the Supreme Court of British Columbia approved the final order regarding the Transaction, subject to certain amendments on 26 March 2026, however if the Transaction does not complete further funding would be required and there can be no certainty that sufficient funds can be raised as required. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern. Having given due consideration to the Transaction as noted above and the
-
Material accounting policies (continued)
cash requirements of the Group, management and those charged with governance has a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period up to the finalization of the Transaction or if for whatever reason the Transaction does not proceed for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. For this reason, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these consolidated financial statements which assumes the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards
The following were adopted on 1 January 2025 but have no material impact on the financial statements:
New standards, interpretations and amendments effective for periods beginning 1 January 2025
Effective date
Lack of exchangeability (amendments to IAS 21)
1 January 2025
Several new standards and amendments to existing standards and interpretations, which have been issued by the IASB, and which are expected to apply to the Group are not yet effective and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Group does not expect the adoption of these new standards and interpretations, to have a material impact on the financial statements as they are neither relevant, nor significant nor require accounting which is inconsistent with the Group's current accounting policies apart from IFRS 18, which the Group is currently evaluating.
Historical cost conventionNew standards, interpretations and amendments applicable to future periods
Effective date
Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments-amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of share options which are measured at fair value.
Foreign currency translationFunctional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("$"). All amounts, except as otherwise indicated, are presented in thousands of dollars. The functional currency for group subsidiaries is United States dollars.
"CDN$" where referenced in the financial statements represents Canadian dollars, "£" represent British pounds sterling, "HUF" represents Hungarian forints and "A$" represents Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars, at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars at the period end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Basis of consolidationThese consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Falcon and its subsidiaries. Where the Company has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The Company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
-
Material accounting policies (continued)
Non-controlling interests ("NCI") in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from Falcon's equity. Non-controlling interests consists of the non-controlling interest at the date of the change in ownership plus the non-controlling interest's share of changes in equity since that date.
All of Falcon's subsidiaries are wholly owned except for Falcon Australia of which 98.1% of the outstanding ordinary shares are owned by Falcon. The consolidated financial statements include non-controlling interests representing the 1.9% portion of Falcon Australia's assets and liabilities not controlled by Falcon. The reporting dates of the Company and its subsidiaries have the same reporting dates.
Intercompany balances, transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Joint operationsThe Group accounts for its interests in joint operations by recognising its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with its contractually conferred rights and obligations, for details on the work commitments please refer to Note 26.
Trade payablesTrade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Overriding Royalty InterestA financial liability will arise in relation to the Overriding Royalty Interests ("ORRI") on the Group's exploration licence when an obligation will exist, which would occur when production commences. For further details on ORRIs please refer to Note 20.
Share capitalCommon shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Accumulated deficitAccumulated deficit is all other net losses and transactions not recognised anywhere else.
Equity interests of the parentEquity interests of the parent equates to the total for share capital, contributed surplus and accumulated deficit, but does not include a NCI.
Total equityTotal equity equates to the total for share capital, contributed surplus and accumulated deficit and NCI.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible exploration assetsRecognition and measurement
Exploration and evaluation ("E&E") expenditures
Pre-license costs are recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as part of exploration and evaluation expenses as incurred.
E&E costs, including the costs of acquiring licenses and directly attributable general and administrative costs, initially are capitalised under full cost accounting, as either tangible or intangible exploration and evaluation assets according
2. Material accounting policies (continued)to the nature of the assets acquired. The costs are accumulated pending determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability.
E&E assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, or (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For purposes of impairment testing, E&E assets are allocated to cash-generating units ("CGUs"), which consist of the Group's Australian exploration project which is pending the determination of proven or probable reserves, for details see Note 11.
The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a resource is considered to be determinable when proven reserves are determined to exist. A review of each exploration license or field is carried out, at least annually, to ascertain whether proven reserves have been discovered. Upon determination of proven reserves, intangible exploration and evaluation assets attributable to those reserves are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from E&E assets to a separate category within tangible assets referred to as oil and natural gas interests.
Proceeds from disposal or farm-in transactions of intangible exploration assets are used to reduce the carrying amount of the assets. When proceeds exceed the carrying amount, the difference is recognised as a gain. When the Group disposes of its full interests, gains or losses are recognised in accordance with the policy for recognising gains or losses on the sale of plant, property and equipment.
Costs incurred for assets impaired and deemed to have no future commercial viability are expensed through the statement of operations and comprehensive income/loss.
Development and production costs
Items of property, plant and equipment, which include oil and gas development and production assets, are measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Development and production assets are grouped into CGUs for impairment testing. When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment, including oil and natural gas interests, have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, including oil and natural gas interests, are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within "other income" or "other expenses" in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Other fixed assets
Costs incurred on office fixtures and fittings are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment.
Subsequent costs
Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of property, plant and equipment are recognised as oil and natural gas interests only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. Such capitalised oil and natural gas interests generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and / or probable reserves and bringing in or enhancing production from such reserves and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The carrying amount of any
replaced or sold component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
Share based compensationShare based compensation is measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The amount recognised as expense is adjusted for an estimated forfeiture rate for options that will not vest, which is adjusted as actual forfeitures occur, until the shares are fully vested. Consideration paid upon the exercise of stock options, together with corresponding amounts previously recognised in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.
-
Material accounting policies (continued) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Decommissioning provisions
The Company's activities give rise to dismantling, decommissioning and site disturbance remediation activities. Provision is made for the estimated cost of site restoration and capitalised in the relevant asset category.
Decommissioning provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date. Subsequent to initial measurement, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. For the Hungarian provision an increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost and increases / decreases due to changes in the estimated future cash flows are recorded through the statement of operations and comprehensive income/loss given the asset is impaired. For the Australian provision any increases to the provision are recognised as an adjustment to the exploration and evaluation assets. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the decommissioning provisions are charged against the provision to the extent the provision was established.
Contributed surplusContributed surplus represents the corresponding entry to the expense recognised in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for share-based compensation.
Segment reportingThe operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM"), details of which are discussed in Note 5. The CODM is considered to be the Board of Directors.
Finance income and expensesFinance income includes interest income which is recognised as it accrues in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, using the effective interest method. Finance income may also include foreign currency gains related to financing facilities.
Finance expense comprises accretion of the discount on provisions and may also include foreign currency losses, reported related to financing facilities.
Government grantsGovernment grants (applicable to Australian R&D Tax Incentives) related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are presented in the statement of financial position by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
-
Material accounting policies (continued) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Loss / earnings per shareBasic (loss) / earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) / earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive instruments such as options granted to employees.
Financial InstrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards have been transferred. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or when it expires. Financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments constituted solely of payments of principal and interest that are held within a "held to collect" business model. Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at the amount expected to be received, less, when material, a discount to reduce the financial assets to fair value. Subsequently, financial assets at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest method less a provision for expected losses.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost and are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability, other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, are deducted from the financial liability's fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
- Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Preparation of financial statements pursuant to IFRS requires a significant number of judgemental assumptions and estimates to be made. This impacts the income and expenses recognised in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss together with the valuation of the assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. Such estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continual re-evaluation. It should be

Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
noted that the impact of valuation in some assumptions and estimates can have a material impact on the reported results.
The following are key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies:
Critical judgements
Exploration and evaluation assets
The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $56.8 million at 31 December 2025 (2024: $50 million). The Group has determined that there are no indicators of impairment present in accordance with IFRS 6 "Exploration for and evaluation of mineral interests" regarding its Australian exploration and evaluation assets.
Renewal applications for the EPs were approved by the Northern Territory Government in May 2023 for a period of 5 years, up to 31 May 2028.
Management's conclusion on the facts and circumstances regarding its Australian exploration and evaluation assets required judgement based on experience and the expected progress of current exploration and evaluation activities.
Closing of Transaction
As of the date of the approval of these financial statements, the Transaction between Falcon and Tamboran, was approved by the Company's shareholders on 11 March 2026. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are set forth in the arrangement agreement dated 30 September 2025 (the "Arrangement Agreement") and a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement"). The Company exercised judgement in determining that the sale was not highly probable at December 31, 2025 as it was subject to shareholder approval by both the Company and Tamboran and the results of the subsequent approvals were not certain Falcon appeared before the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") on 26 March 2026 seeking the Court's final order to approve the Transaction (the "Final Order"). Lamesa Holding S.A., a beneficial shareholder of the Company, opposed the granting of the Final Order and appeared at the hearing. The Court approved the Final Order, subject to certain amendments to the Plan of Arrangement relating to the treatment of Falcon shareholders that are subject to sanctions. Pursuant to the Transaction, eligible Falcon shareholders will exchange their common shares for the Share Consideration on the basis of 0.00687 Tamboran common shares for each Falcon common share and the Cash Consideration will be paid by Tamboran into a blocked account in the name of a sanctioned shareholder. The Transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions.
Going Concern
As at the date of the approval of these financial statements, further funding would be required as noted on page 11, however no further funding has been raised given the Transaction between Falcon and Tamboran and the terms of the Arrangement Agreement. Management and those charged with governance are confident that the Transaction will be completed since shareholder approval was obtained on 11 March 2026 and the Supreme Court of British Columbia approved the final order regarding the Transaction, subject to certain amendments on 26 March 2026, however if the Transaction does not close for whatever reason further funding would be required and there can be no certainty that sufficient funds can be raised as required. This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern. Having given due consideration to the Transaction as noted above and the cash requirements of the Group, management and those charged with governance has a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period up to the finalization of the Transaction.
Critical estimates
Decommissioning Provision
The decommissioning provision represents the Group's best estimate of the costs involved in the various exploration and production licence areas to return them to their original condition in accordance with the licence terms. Management uses judgement in determining the estimates to be used for the measurement of the decommissioning provision. These estimates include certain management assumptions with regard to future costs, inflation rates, timing of cash flows and discount rates. The provision is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the expected future cashflows. For further details please refer to Note 23.
-
Management of capital
The Group's objectives when managing capital (i.e. share capital, contributed surplus and accumulated deficit) are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to explore and develop its petroleum and natural gas properties. The Group manages the components of shareholders' equity and makes adjustments to these components in response to the Group's business objectives and the economic climate. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may issue new common shares or debt instruments or borrow money or acquire or convey interests in other assets. The Group does not anticipate the payment of dividends for twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The total equity at 31 December 2025 is $42 million (2024: $44.7 million).
The Group's investment policy is to hold excess cash in highly-liquid, short-term instruments, such as rolling deposits with major European, Australian, Canadian or United States financial institutions, with initial maturity terms of zero to twelve months from the original date of acquisition, selected with regard to the Group's anticipated liquidity requirements.
-
Segment information
Based on internal reporting information, it was determined that there are three reportable segments. The Group's operations are in the petroleum and natural gas industry with its principal business activity being in the exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties. The Group has no producing petroleum and natural gas properties, the Group has unproven petroleum and natural gas interests in Australia, South Africa and Hungary.
The key performance measures reviewed for the segment which management believes are the most relevant information when evaluating the results of the Group are:
the progress and extent to which farm-in agreements have been executed over the Group's acreage; and
cash flow, capital expenditure and operating expenses.An analysis of the geographic areas is as follows:

(ii) Tax losses expire after 20 years in Canada.
The other deductible temporary differences do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the tax losses, exploration and evaluation assets and other as it is not probable that future tax profit will be available against which the Group can utilise these benefits in the foreseeable future.

The Group, in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V, may grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants, to acquire up to 10% of the Group's issued and outstanding common stock. The exercise price of each option is based on the market price of the Group's stock at the date of grant, which may be discounted in accordance with TSX-V policies. Volatility is calculated based on the standard deviation of the share price movement over the expected life of the options granted. The exercise price of all options granted to date has been based on the market price of the Group's stock at the date of grant, and no options have been granted at a discount to the market price. The options can be granted for a maximum term of five years. The Group records compensation expense over the vesting

- Decommissioning Provision
A reconciliation of the decommissioning provision for the years ended 31 December 2025 and 2024 is provided below:
2025 $'000 | 2024 $'000 | |
Balance as at beginning of year | 16,587 | 16,204 |

Revision to previous Beetaloo decommissioning provision | (125) | 37 |
Foreign exchange revaluation | 198 | (236) |
Accretion | 565 | 477 |
Balance as at end of year - non-current | 17,261 | 16,587 |
The Group's decommissioning provision results from its ownership interest in oil and natural gas assets. The total decommissioning provision is estimated based on the Group's net ownership interest in the wells, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future years.
The Group has estimated the net present value of the decommissioning provision for its Hungarian well interests to be
$14.4 million as at 31 December 2025 (2024: $14 million) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $16.7 million (2024: $16.4 million). These payments are expected to be made in approximately 4 years. The discount factor, being the risk-free rate related to the liability, was 3.64% as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 3.23%). The inflation factor related to the liability, was 2.32% as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 2.45%). A 1% increase / (decrease) in the discount rate will (decrease) / increase the provision by ($544,000) / $571,000.

Decommissioning Provision (continued)
The estimated net present value of the decommissioning provision for its Australian Beetaloo well interests is $2.78 million as at 31 December 2025 (2024: $2.5 million) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $6.5 million (2024:
$5.8 million). These payments are expected to be made between 2-29 years. The discount factors, being the risk-free rate related to the liability, were 4.056% and 5.213% respectively as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 3.82% and 4.83% respectively). The inflation factor related to the liability, was 2.5% as at 31 December 2025 (2024: 2.5%). A 1% increase

- Commitments and contingencies
Work program commitments
Australia - Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia
The Group planned a drilling programme which commenced in 2015 with its farm-in partners. Work recommenced in 2019 following the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, details of current operations are included in the Management's Discussion & Analysis document for the three and twelve months ended 31 December 2025.
Since April 2020 Falcon Australia holds a 22.5% PI in the EPs and there was also an overall cost cap of A$263.8 million resulting from farm out transactions agreed to up to that date. In October 2022, Falcon Australia was granted an additional carry on costs up to A$30 million (gross) and there was the introduction of DSUs on sole risk operations providing optionality to Falcon Australia on future wells drilled. The size of a DSU varies depending on (a) the type and length of the well to be drilled and (b) whether or not the well is a "commitment well" under the terms of the EPs, a non-commitment well creates a DSU to a maximum of 6,400 acres, while a government commitment well creates a DSU to a maximum of 25,600 acres. The optionality created by the DSUs allows Falcon to participate at its PI of 22.5% or reduce its interest as low as 0% in a particular DSU without impairing the percentage it participates in a future DSU across the acreage. The cost cap and the additional carry have now been consumed and Falcon Australia is contributing to the costs in proportion to its 22.5% PI or reduced interest as elected. A Pilot Project at the Shenandoah South location commenced in 2024 with Falcon Australia electing to reduce its PI in the first two wells of the Pilot Project to 5% and further reducing its PI in the remaining wells drilled in the Pilot Project in 2025 to 0%.
The terms of the Beetaloo Joint Venture continue to necessitate specific minimum work obligations through May 2028. Future commitments for the next two years to May 2028 include an expected gross spend of A$106,750,000 across the three exploration permits, related to drilling and multi-stage stimulations, 3D seismic survey, and sub-surface studies, with gross expenditure across EP76 of A$20,750,000, EP 98 of A$63,650,000 and EP 117 of A$22,500,000.
-
Commitments and contingencies (continued)
Falcon Australia's level of future spend will be dependent on the participating interest it opts into each of the joint operations at.
South Africa - Karoo Basin, South Africa
On granting of an approved exploration right in South Africa, the Group will be required to make a payment to the South African government of approximately $0.7 million. Management does not foresee this payment falling due within the next 12 months based on the expected timeframe of being granted an approved exploration right.
Hungary - Makó Trough, Hungary
The Group is not committed to any independent technical operations in Hungary.

Subsequent Events
For the year end 31 December 2025, the Company has not recognised a research and development ("R&D") tax incentive receivable related to expenditure incurred in 2024, a submission to the Australian Tax Office was made in April 2026 to obtain the applicable refund which is estimated to be approximately $2 million.
Subsequent to year end, Falcon obtained shareholder approval for the Transaction. While the Transaction had been agreed and announced on 30 September 2025; completion of the Transaction was subject to shareholder and court approval, which had not been obtained as at 31 December 2025.
