·Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s business and financing activities. The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favorable terms, the Company’s business activity levels increase.

·Non-cash costs such as those attributable to calculated valuations of share-based payments expenses also affect the size of the Company’s quarterly income (loss).

PART-7 : COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

same quarter and three (3) months period ended 30 September 2019 (the “Comparative Quarter”).

a)Overall, the Company incurred net loss from operations during the Current Quarter of $54,484 compared to a loss of $134,585 for the Comparative Quarter. The reduction from the Comparative Quarter is largely attributable to the Company's termination of outsourced accounting services.

f)Fees and costs of accounting, audit, legal, and similar professional services incurred by the Company during the Current Quarter amounted to $885 compared to $19,449 during the Comparative Quarter.

The fair value of these stock option grants was determined to be $52,495, which was charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss as share-based payments expense. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%, expected stock price volatility: 100%, risk-free interest rate: 1.84%, expected life of options: 1.75 years.

PART-8 : LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

As at the end of This Quarter, the Company’s Interim Financial Statements show a working capital deficiency of $756,144. At the end of the Company's most recently completed financial year ended 30 June 2020 the working capital deficiency was $549,182. At the end of This Quarter the Company's working capital deficiency increased by an amount of $206,962 from that at 30 June 2020 year end, largely attributable due to long term debt becoming current debt.

During This Quarter, the Company spent $36,553 on its operations and did not raise any new finance.

The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to develop new business opportunities which become profitable. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s growth and develop new business opportunities and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise such funds, including the health of the capital markets, the climate for investment in the sectors the Company is considering, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management.

The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative requirements and business development objectives over the next twelve months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including providing for new opportunities as they arise. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue new business development and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefits of its stakeholders. The Company's principal source of funds is from the issuance of common shares. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and receivables.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust the amount of cash and short-term investments. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in liquid short-term interest-bearing investments selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and there was no change in the Company’s capital management during This Quarter.

PART-9 : RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company has no history of profitable operations and is currently in the early stages of its development. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

The Company has no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that additional funding will be available to it to take advantage of further growth and development of new opportunities and projects when required. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities or joint ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further growth or new opportunity development.

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

PART-10 : RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Key management personnel of the Company include persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole, and includes both the duly appointed senior executive officers of the Company and those of the Company's wholly owned operating subsidiaries, (collectively the "Officers"). Each one of the Officers, together with each member of the Company's board of directors, is considered to be a "Related Party".

10.1Related Party Balances

At the completion of this First Quarter and first three (3) months of the Company's Fiscal 2021 year, the Year-To-Date ("YTD") balances due to Related Parties, compared to the balance due them at the end of the Company's most recently completed fiscal year ended 30 June 2020 ("FYE20"), are as follows:

a)an aggregate amount of YTD $266,979 (FYE20 - $271,683) was due and payable to the Company's Officers as accumulated but unpaid salary and fees. These amounts are included in accounts payable and are unsecured and non-interest bearing;

b)an aggregate amount of YTD $87,500 (FYE20 - $87,500) was due and payable to the Company's CEO as repayment of accumulated loans made in prior years by the CEO to the Company for assistance with working capital. This loan is interest free with no fixed repayment terms; and

c)an aggregate amount of YTD $20,000 (FYE20 - $20,000) was due and payable to two of the Company’s Directors ($10,000 each) for working capital loans made by them to the Company. These loans are unsecured, interest free and have no fixed repayment terms.

10.2Balance Due Former Related Parties

a)Former CFO - A former CFO of the Company resigned effective 31 December 2017, and accordingly, the Company terminated accrual of salary upon his resignation date and agreed to issue 4,000,000 common shares to settle $200,000 in accumulated unpaid salary and pay a total amount of $125,000 by end November 2018 to settle all outstanding compensation and amounts due. The settlement shares were issued on 2 January 2018 at a fair value of $0.016 per share and total value of $64,000 and the Company realized a gain on settlement of $136,000. Commencing from 1 January 2018, the CFO agreed to continue as "Acting CFO" without additional compensation and did so until his replacement as Acting CFO on 7 November 2018. Accordingly, during the two fiscal years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020, the Company did not pay or accrue salary for the former CFO. On 7 December 2018 the former CFO ceased to be a director and also thereupon ceased to be a Related Party of the Company. The Company paid a total of $75,000 of the amount due the former CFO before 30 November 2018. At the 30 September 2020 end of this First Quarter of Fiscal 2021, a total remaining balance due the former CFO in the amount of $50,000 (FYE20 - $50,000) is past due and unpaid and included in accounts payable.

b)Former Vice President - The Company's former Vice President of Business Development resigned to pursue other personal opportunities effective on 7 December 2019. At the 30 September 2020 end of this First Quarter of Fiscal 2021, a total remaining balance due the former Vice President in the amount of $38,776 (FYE20 - 38,776) is due and unpaid and included in accounts payable.

10.3Transactions With Related Parties

During this First Quarter the Company did not engage in any Related Party transactions other than ordinary course of business compensation of key management personnel as described in the following paragraph.

10.4Compensation Of Key Management Personnel

During the three (3) months period ended 30 September 2020, aggregate YTD compensation was paid or accrued to key management personnel and Related Parties as follows, together with a comparison to the amount paid or accrued to them for the same period ended 30 September 2020:

a)The Company, or its wholly owned subsidiaries, paid or accrued salary, fees, or other compensation to the CEO, CEO of its subsidiary, and Acting CFO in the YTD amounts of $10,199 $10,199 and $10,500, respectively.

b)The CEO of the Company voluntarily suspended and terminated payment and accrual of his salary as CEO of the Company effective on 1 July 2017 and continuing until such time as the Company's financial condition permits a resumption and such resumption is approved by the Board of Directors. Consequently, the Company did not directly accrue any salary, YTD, for the CEO.

c)The Company's PT Kilang Kaltim Continental ("KKC") subsidiary directly paid or accrued salary compensation for work performed under employment contract in the Jakarta office by two Jakarta resident Related Parties, the Company's CEO who serves as KKC's commissioner, and an executive director of the Company who separately serves as the CEO of KKC. The amounts so paid or accrued are included in the disclosure in paragraph 10.4a) above.

PART-11 : MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND EVENTS

11.1Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At the end of This Quarter, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements not already disclosed elsewhere in this MD&A or in the Interim Financial Statements.

11.2Material Contracts & Commitments

During This Quarter, no new material contracts or commitments were undertaken, not elsewhere disclosed in this MD&A or in the Interim Financial Statements.

11.3Investor Relations, Publicity and Promotion

During This Quarter, no material new arrangements, or modifications to existing agreements, were made by the Company for investor relations services, publicity, promotion or advertising agreements which are not otherwise already disclosed in this MD&A or the Interim Financial Statements.

11.4Financial Advice, New Business Consulting, Finder's Agreements, & Fund Raising

11.5Claims, Contingencies & Litigation

Except for any contingencies elsewhere disclosed herein, or in the Interim Financial Statements for This Quarter published herewith, the Company knows of no material, active or pending claims or legal proceedings against them; nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation that might materially adversely affect the Company or a property interest of the Company.

PART-12 : CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Company’s management make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and the related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews its judgments, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates applied in the preparation of its Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied to the audited financial statements for the last fiscal year ended 30 June 2020.

PART-13 : FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments as at the end of This Quarter, consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the loan payable to its CEO, and the promissory notes. The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying value due to their relative short-term maturity. There were no off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Cash, other than minor amounts of Indonesian Rupiahs, consist solely of cash deposits with major Canadian and Indonesian banks. The Company therefore considers its credit risk to be low. The Company does not use derivative or hedging instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates involving Canadian dollar and Indonesian Rupiah. However, as the Company holds its funds primarily in US dollars, the risk of foreign exchange loss is considered low by the Company’s management.
