NOTICE TO READER

November 4, 2009

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of InterOil Corporation (the Company) have been prepared by and are the responsibility of management. The Company’s independent auditors have been engaged to perform a review of these financial statements but they were unable to complete their review procedures by the required filing date. The primary reason for this is that the independent auditors were unable to conclude on the accounting treatment for the exchange agreement completed by the Company with certain Indirect Participation Interest holders in September 2009. Refer to note 19 for details on the transaction. Due to the complex nature of the transaction, Management will confirm the accounting treatment with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1.
Nature of operations and organization

InterOil Corporation (the "Company" or "InterOil") is a publicly traded, integrated oil and gas company operating in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”).

Management has organized the Company’s operations into four major segments - Upstream, Midstream, Downstream and Corporate.

Upstream includes Exploration and Production operations for crude oil and natural gas in PNG. Midstream Refining includes refining of products for domestic market in Papua New Guinea and exports, and Midstream Liquefaction includes the work being undertaken to further the LNG project in PNG.  Downstream includes Wholesale and Retail Distribution of refined products in PNG. Corporate engages in business development and improvement, common services and management, financing and treasury, government and investor relations.  Common and integrated costs are recovered from business segments on an equitable driver basis.

2.
Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a)
Basis of preparation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are in accordance with Canadian GAAP which requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying Company’s accounting policies.  These estimates and judgments may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates. The effect of changes in estimates on future periods have not been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements as estimating it is impracticable.

Rate Regulation

InterOil is currently the sole refiner of hydrocarbons in Papua New Guinea under our 30 year agreement with the Papua New Guinea Government, which expires in 2035.  The government has undertaken to ensure that all domestic distributors purchase their refined petroleum products from our refinery, or any other refinery which is constructed in Papua New Guinea, at an Import Parity Price (‘IPP’).  The IPP is regulated by the Papua New Guinea Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (‘ICCC’).  In general, the IPP is the price that would be paid in Papua New Guinea for a refined product being imported.  For all price controlled products (diesel, unleaded petrol, kerosene and aviation fuel) produced and sold locally in Papua New Guinea, the IPP is calculated by adding the costs that would typically be incurred to import such product to the posted price for such product in Singapore.  In November 2007, the IPP was modified by interim agreement  by changing the Singapore benchmark price from the ‘Singapore Posted Prices’ which is no longer being updated, to ‘Mean of Platts Singapore’ (‘MOPS’) which is the interim benchmark price for refined products in the region in which we operate.  As revised, the IPP more closely mirrors changes in the prices of crude feedstocks than the previous formula.  In addition, minor adjustments to this interim IPP formula were made in June 2008 based on ongoing discussions with the government with a view to finalizing a permanent replacement to the IPP formula.

InterOil is also a significant participant in the retail and wholesale distribution business in Papua New Guinea.  The ICCC regulates the maximum prices that may be charged by the wholesale and retail hydrocarbon distribution industry in Papua New Guinea.  Our Downstream business may charge less than the maximum margin set by the ICCC in order to maintain its competitiveness with other participants in the market.

No rate regulated assets or liabilities have been recognized as any gains or losses made due to rate regulation are to the Company’s account, and are not repayable/recoverable in the future.

Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

(b)
Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported a profit of $20.0 million as compared to a profit of $22.4 million for the same period of 2008.  The total operating cash inflow was $51.2 million for the nine months compared to an outflow of $14.6 million in the same period of 2008.  The Company reported a net operating cash inflow, before working capital movements, of $51.4 million for the nine months compared to $24.2 million in the same period of 2008.  The net current assets balance as at September 30, 2009 was $104.2 million compared to $110.6 million as at September 30, 2008.

The Company has cash, cash equivalents and cash restricted of $88.6 million as at September 30, 2009 (September 2008 - $78.7 million), of which $27.9 million is restricted (September 2008 - $31.8 million).  The Company has a short term working capital facility of $190.0 million for its Midstream – Refining operation that is renewable annually with BNP Paribas.  This facility is secured by the assets it is drawn down against.  As at September 30, 2009 only $105.5 million of this facility has been utilized, and the remaining facility remains available for use.  This facility is currently going through the renewal process and as at September 30, 2009, the facility had been temporarily extended to November 30, 2009.  During 2008 the Company also secured a $54.6 million (Papua New Guinea Kina 150.0 million) revolving working capital facility for its Downstream operations in Papua New Guinea from Bank of South Pacific Limited and Westpac Bank PNG Limited. Westpac facility limit is Papua New Guinea Kina 80.0 million (approximately $29.12 million) and BSP facility limit is Papua New Guinea Kina 70.0 million (approximately $25.48 million).  The Westpac facility is for an initial term of three years and is due for renewal in October 2011. The BSP facility is renewable annually and was renewed in October 2009 at a lower limit of Papua New Guinea Kina 50.0 million (approximately $18.2 million).  As at September 30, 2009 only $1.1 million of this combined facility has been utilized, and the remaining facility remains available for use.  Management expects these facilities to be renewed in due course as these working capital facilities are fully secured against trade debtors, inventory and cash deposits.

With respect to its Upstream operations, the Company has no obligation to execute exploration activities within a set timeframe and therefore has the ability to select the timing of these activities as long as the minimum license commitments in relation to our Petroleum Prospecting Licenses (‘PPL’) are met.

The Company believes that it has sufficient funds for the Midstream Refinery and Downstream operations; however, existing cash balances and ongoing cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to facilitate further development of the Elk/Antelope well prospect and the Midstream Liquefaction LNG plant development.  Therefore the Company must extend or secure sufficient funding through renewed borrowings, equity raising and or asset sales to enable sufficient cash to be available to further its development plans.  Management expects that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing through one of, or a combination or the aforementioned alternatives.  Accordingly, these 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.

(c)
Principles of consolidation

The accounting principles applied to the consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those described in note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Certain information and disclosures normally required in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted, and therefore, these interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

(d)
Changes in accounting policies

Based on the detailed review conducted by the Company of the new CICA sections, or revisions to current sections, that are effective January 1, 2009, no items have been identified as having any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(e)
Reclassification

Certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

3.
Financial Risk Management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate 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.  The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain price risk exposures.  Risk Management is carried out by the Finance Department, and monitored by the Risk Management Committee and the Audit Committee, under policies approved by the Board of Directors.  The Finance Department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s operating units.  The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as use of derivative financial instruments.

(a)
Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency.  The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the United States Dollar.

Most of the Company’s transactions are undertaken in United States Dollars (USD) and Papua New Guinea Kina (PGK).  Currently there are no foreign exchange hedge programmes in place.  The Papua New Guinea Kina exposures are minimal at the transactional level as the Downstream sales in local currency are used to adequately cover the operating expenses of the Midstream refinery and Downstream operations.  However, the translation of USD intercompany balances in PGK operating entities at period ends can result in material impact on the foreign exchange gains/losses on consolidation.

Changes in the PGK to USD exchange rate can affect our Midstream refinery results as there is a timing difference between the foreign exchange rates utilized when setting the monthly PGK IPP price and the foreign exchange rate used to convert the subsequent receipt of PGK proceeds to USD to repay our crude cargo borrowings.  The foreign exchange movement also impacts equity as translation gains/losses of our Downstream operations from PGK to USD is included in other comprehensive income as these are self-sustaining operations.  The PGK weakened against the USD during the three months ended March 31, 2009 (from 0.3735 to 0.3400).  However, it then strengthened against the USD during the six months ended September 30, 2009 (from 0.3400 to 0.364).

The financial instruments denominated in Papua New Guinea Kina are as follows:

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of financial instruments held at balance sheet date to movement in the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Papua New Guinea Kina, with all other variables held constant.  Certain USD debt and other financial assets and liabilities, including intra-group balances, are not held in the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary.  This results in an accounting exposure to exchange gains and losses as the financial assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency of the subsidiary that accounts for those assets and liabilities.  These exchange gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated income statement except to the extent that they can be taken to equity under the Company’s accounting policy.  If PGK strengthens against the USD, it will result in a gain, and vice versa.

(ii) Price risk
The Midstream refining operations of the Company are largely exposed to price fluctuations during the period between the crude purchases and the refined products leaving the refinery on sales to Downstream operations and other distributors.  The Company actively tries to manage the price risk by entering into derivative contracts to buy and sell crude and finished products.

The derivative contracts are entered into by Management based on documented risk management strategies which have been approved by the Risk Management Committee.  All derivative contracts entered into are reviewed by the Risk Management Committee as part of the meetings of the Committee.

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the crude and finished product inventory held at balance date to $10.0 movement in benchmark pricing, with all other variables held constant.

 (iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s financial position will be adversely affected by movements in interest rates that will increase the cost of floating rate debt or opportunity losses that may arise on fixed rate borrowings in a falling interest rate environment.

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets other than cash and cash equivalents, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from borrowings and working capital financing facilities. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest-rate risk.  Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest-rate risk.  The Company is actively seeking to manage its cash flow interest-rate risks.

The financial instruments exposed to cash flow and fair value interest rate risk are as follows:

(iv) Product risk
The composition of the crude feedstock will vary the refinery output of products.  The 2009 year to date output achieved includes gasoline and distillates fuels (which includes diesel and jet fuels) (60%) (Sep 2008 - 57%), and naphtha and low sulphur waxy residue (34%) (Sep 2008 – 40%).  The product yields obtained will vary going forward as the refinery operations are optimized and will vary based on the type of crude feedstock used.

Management endeavors to manage the product risk by actively reviewing the market for demand and supply, trying to maximize the production of the higher margin products and also renegotiating the selling prices for the lower margin products.

(b)       Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.  Due to the nature of the Upstream segment of the Company, funding is secured by means of indirect participation interests, capital raisings and other financing sources as required.  The Company endeavors to manage the liquidity risk by continually reviewing the liquidity position including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast cash requirements and maintain appropriate liquidity levels.  All accounts payable and accrued liabilities are payable within one year. Changes in crude price environment will have impact on our liquidity position due to our working capital requirements.  For further details on our working capital facilities, refer to (e) below.

The ageing of accounts payables and accrued liabilities are as follows:

    160,934,762       144,231,300       6,475,196       10,228,266  

(c)       Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligation under a financial instrument that will result in a financial loss to the Company.  The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company’s credit risk is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets.  A significant amount of the Company’s export sales are made to two customers in Singapore which represented $72,639,054 (Sep 2008 - $147,866,713) or 15% (Sep 2008 – 21%) of total sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company’s domestic sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were not dependent on a single customer or geographic region of Papua New Guinea.  The export sales to two customers are not considered a key risk as there is a ready market for InterOil export products and the prices are quoted on active markets.  The Company actively manages credit risk by routinely monitoring the credit ratings of Company’s customers and ageing of trade receivables.  The credit terms provided to customers are revised if any changes are noted to customer ratings or payment cycles.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents held directly by the Company are minimized as all cash amounts and certificates of deposit are held with large banks which have acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognized rating agency.

(h)         Capital management

The Finance department of the Company is responsible for capital management.  This involves the use of corporate forecasting models which facilitates analysis of the Company’s financial position including cash flow forecasts to determine the future capital management requirements.  Capital management is undertaken to ensure a secure, cost-effective and flexible supply of funds is available to meet the Company’s operating and capital expenditure requirements.

The Company is actively managing the gearing levels and raising capital/debt as required for optimizing shareholder returns.  The Company is actively trying to manage its gearing levels by maintaining the Debt-To-Capital Ratio (Long term Debt/(Shareholders’ equity + Long term Debt)) at 50% or less, and has made considerable progress in achieving this as at September 30, 2009.  The gearing levels were reduced to 12% in September 2009 from 35% in September 2008.

The optimum gearing levels for the Company are set by Management based on the stage of development of the Company, future needs for development and capital market conditions, and will be reassessed as situations change.

Financial Risk Management (cont’d)

This reduction in gearing levels as at September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008 was mainly due to the conversion of $95,000,000 8% convertible subordinated debentures issued in May 2008 and the completion of the $70,443,249 registered direct stock offering completed in June 2009.

On May 13, 2008, the Company completed the issue of $95,000,000 unsecured 8% subordinated convertible debentures with a maturity of five years.  The conversion price applicable to these debentures was $25.00 per share, with mandatory conversion if the daily Volume Weighted Average Price (‘VWAP’) of the common shares is at or above $32.50 for at least 15 consecutive trading days.  During the period from July 2008 to June 2009 a number of investors voluntarily converted their interest into common shares of the Company.  In June 2009, a mandatory conversion was triggered as the VWAP stayed above $32.50 for 15 consecutive trading days, and the remaining debentures were converted into common shares.

On June 8, 2009 the Company completed a registered direct stock offering of 2,013,815 shares of its common stock to a number of institutional investors at a purchase price of U.S.$34.98 per share amounting to $70,443,249.

We will evaluate further opportunities of raising capital in the future for our capital expenditure requirements.  In order to achieve this objective, the Company has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the Ontario Securities Commission and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system.  These filings will enable the Company to add financial flexibility in the future and issue, from time to time, up to $200.0 million of its debt securities (a further $129.6 million after the $70.4 million offering completed in June 2009), common shares, preferred shares and/or warrants ("Securities") in one or more offerings.  This preliminary short form base shelf prospectus has since been replaced with an omnibus shelf prospectus filed and accepted by the Ontario Securities Commission on August 7, 2008.  The corresponding registration statement on Form-10/A has also been filed with the SEC.

Segmented financial information

As stated in note 1, management has identified four major business segments - upstream, midstream, downstream and corporate.  The corporate segment includes assets and liabilities that do not specifically relate to the other business segments.  Results in this segment primarily include financing costs and interest income.

Consolidation adjustments relating to total assets relates to the elimination of intercompany loans and investments in subsidiaries.

Notes to and forming part of the segment information

Segment information is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies of the entity as disclosed in note 2 in the annual financial statements.

Segment revenues, expenses and total assets are those that are directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis.  Upstream, midstream and downstream include costs allocated from the corporate activities based on a fee for services provided.  The eliminations relate to sales and operating revenues between segments recorded at transfer prices based on current market prices and to unrealized intersegment profits in inventories.

During the prior year nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company divested fully its interests in Petroleum Retention Licenses 4 and 5 in Papua New Guinea.  As these properties did not have any cost base associated with them carried forward in the balance sheet, the entire sale proceeds was treated as a gain on sale of these properties.
 
Since the date of the IPI Agreement in February 2005 up to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, certain IPI investors’ with a combined 6.425% interest in the eight well drilling program have waived their right to convert their IPI percentage into 856,667 common shares.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company also bought back a combined 4.3364% interest in the IPI Agreement from two investors.  As part of this buyback transaction, the investor’s option to convert to InterOil common shares lapsed, triggering conveyance under the IPI Agreement.  Refer to Note 19 below for further details of this transaction.
 
These waivers or forfeitures of the conversion option have triggered conveyance under the IPI Agreement for their respective share of interest.  An amount of $5,722,792 (Sep 2008 - $4,735,084) for the nine month period was recognized as a gain on conveyance following the guidance in paragraphs 47(h) and 47(j) of SFAS 19.

Petromin participation in Elk/Antelope field
On October 30, 2008, Petromin PNG Holdings Limited (‘Petromin’), a government entity mandated to invest in resource projects on behalf of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea (“the State”), agreed to take a 20.5% direct interest in the Elk/Antelope field.  Petromin will contribute an initial deposit and will conditionally fund 20.5% of the costs of developing the Elk/Antelope field.  The relevant legislation on the State’s right to invest arises upon issuance of the Prospecting Development Licence (‘PDL’), which has not yet occurred.  The agreement contains certain provisions applicable in the event that the PDL is not issued within a certain timeframe.  In the event the PDL is not granted for the Elk/Antelope field, Petromin will be issued InterOil common shares based on a five day Volume Weighted Average Price (‘VWAP’) immediately prior to the date of issue.  As at September 30, 2009, $9,435,000 advance payment received from Petromin has been held under ‘Petromin cash calls received’ above.  Once the PDL is formed, conveyance accounting following the guidance in paragraphs 47(h) and 47(j) of SFAS 19 will be triggered.

Deferred gain on contributions to LNG Project

On July 30, 2007, a Shareholders’ Agreement was signed between InterOil LNG Holdings Inc., Pacific LNG Operations Ltd., Merrill Lynch Commodities (Europe) Limited and PNG LNG Inc..  As part of the Shareholders’ Agreement, five ‘A’ Class shares were issued by PNG LNG Inc. with full voting rights with each share controlling one board position.  Two ‘A’ Class shares were owned by InterOil, two by Merrill Lynch Commodities (Europe) Limited, and one by Pacific LNG Operations Ltd.  All key operational matters require ‘Unanimous’ or ‘Super-majority’ Board resolution which confirms that none of the joint ventures is in a position to exercise unilateral control over the joint venture.

InterOil was also provided with ‘B’ Class shares in the Joint Venture Company with a fair value of $100,000,000 in recognition of its contribution to the LNG Project at the time of signing the Shareholders’ Agreement.  The main items contributed by InterOil into the Joint venture Company were infrastructure developed by InterOil near the proposed LNG site at Napa Napa, stakeholder relations within Papua New Guinea, General Supply Agreements secured with other landowners for supply of gas, advanced stage of project development, etc.  Fair value was determined based on the agreement between the independent joint venture partners.

The other Joint Venture partners are being issued ‘B’ Class shares as they contribute cash into the Joint Venture Company by way of cash calls.

Deferred gain on contributions to LNG Project (cont’d)

To date InterOil has a recognized deferred gain on its contributions to the Joint Venture based on the share of other joint venture partners in the project.  As InterOil’s shareholding within the Joint Venture Company as at September 30, 2009 is 86.66%, the gain on contribution of non cash assets to the project by InterOil relating to other joint venture partners’ shareholding (13.34% - amounting to $13,076,272) has been recognized by InterOil in its balance sheet as a deferred gain. This deferred gain will increase as the other Joint Venture partners increase their shareholding in the project.  The gain has been deferred in accordance with the principles of proportionate consolidation as per CICA 3055 – ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’ and will be taken to income based on the value to be obtained from their use by the Joint Venture Company in the future.  The intangible assets of the Joint Venture Company, contributed by InterOil, have been eliminated on proportionate consolidation of the joint venture balances.

On February 27, 2009, InterOil LNG Holdings Inc. and Pacific LNG Operations Ltd, acquired Merrill Lynch’s interest in the Joint Venture Company. InterOil issued 499,834 common shares totaling $11,250,000 for its share of the settlement. After the completion of this transaction, Merrill Lynch does not retain any ownership in the PNG LNG project.

The two ‘A’ Class shares held by Merrill Lynch have been transferred equally to InterOil LNG Holdings Inc. and Pacific LNG Operations Ltd.  A further 172 ‘A’ Class shares have been issued to InterOil LNG Holdings Inc. and 173 ‘A’ Class shares have been issued to Pacific LNG Operations Ltd bringing the ‘A’ Class shareholding of both remaining joint venture partners to 175 ‘A’ Class shares each, giving equal voting rights and board positions in the joint venture.

During September 2009, as part of acquisition by Pacific LNG of a 2.5% direct working interest in the Elk/Antelope field, Pacific LNG transferred to InterOil 2.5% of Pacific LNG’s unexercised economic interest in the joint venture LNG Project. Based on this transaction, as at September 30, 2009, InterOil and Pacific LNG holds 52.5% and 47.5% economic interest respectively in the LNG project, subject to the exercise of all their rights to the ‘B’ Class shares on payment of cash calls.

Goodwill

Acquisition of interest from Merrill Lynch
As noted above in note 13, On February 27, 2009, InterOil LNG Holdings Inc. acquired half of Merrill Lynch’s interest in the Joint Venture Company for $11,250,000.  As part of the acquisition, InterOil LNG Holdings Inc. was transferred 548,806 ‘B’ Class shares held by Merrill Lynch.  The amount recognized as goodwill of $5,761,940 represents the amount of purchase consideration paid to Merrill Lynch over and above the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.

Acquisition of interest from Pacific LNG
During September 2009, InterOil also acquired a further 2.5% of Pacific LNG’s economic interest in the joint venture LNG Project from Pacific LNG as part of the Elk/Antelope interest acquisition.  The fair value of 2.5% of Pacific LNG’s economic interest in the joint venture LNG Project was valued at $864,377 based on the previous transaction with Merrill Lynch that was completed in February 2009, being the most appropriate guide to the fair value of the interest acquired.  This fair value has been recognized as goodwill on acquisition of the LNG interest in the Balance Sheet.

Indirect participation interest ("IPI")
    53,223,694       72,476,668       72,812,827  

The IPI balance relates to $125,000,000 received by InterOil subject to the terms of the agreement dated February 25, 2005 between the Company and a number of investors.  In exchange InterOil has provided the investors with a 25% interest in an eight well drilling program to be conducted in InterOil’s petroleum prospecting licenses 236, 237 and 238.

Under the IPI agreement, InterOil is responsible for drilling eight exploration wells, four of which will be in PPL 238, one in PPL 236, and one in PPL 237.  The investors will be able to approve the location of the final two wells to be drilled.  In the instance that InterOil proposes appraisal or completion of an exploration or development well, the investors will be asked to contribute to the completion work in proportion to their IPI percentage and InterOil will bear the remaining cost.  Should an investor choose not to participate in the completion works of an exploration well, the investor will forfeit their right to the well in question as well as their right to convert into common shares.  InterOil has drilled four exploration wells under the IPI agreement as at September 30, 2009.

The non-financial liability has been valued at $105,000,000, being the estimated expenditures to complete the eight well drilling program, and the residual value of $20,000,000 has been allocated to the conversion option presented under Shareholder’s equity.  InterOil paid financing fees and transaction costs of $8,138,741 related to the indirect participation interest on behalf of the indirect participation interest investors in 2005.  These fees have been allocated against the non-financial liability, reducing the liability to $96,861,259.  InterOil will maintain the liability at its initial value until conveyance is triggered on the lapse of the conversion option available to the investors, or they elect to participate in the Petroleum Development License (‘PDL’) for a successful well.  InterOil will account for the exploration costs relating to the eight well program under the successful efforts accounting policy adopted by the Company.  All Geological & Geophysical (‘G&G’) costs relating to the exploration program will be expensed as incurred and all drilling costs will be capitalized and assessed for recovery at each period.  When conveyance is triggered on election by the investors to participate in a PDL or when the investor forfeits the conversion option, conveyance accounting will be applied.  This would entail determination of proceeds for the interests conveyed and the cost of that interest as represented in the ‘Oil and gas properties’ in the balance sheet.  The difference between proceeds on conveyance and capitalized costs to the interests conveyed will be recognized as gain or loss in the Statement of operations following the guidance in paragraphs 47(h) and 47(j) of SFAS 19.

Under the agreement, all or part of this indirect participation interest may be converted to a maximum of 3,333,334 common shares in the company between June 15, 2006 and the later of December 15, 2006, or until 90 days after the completion of the eighth well at a price of $37.50 per share.  Should the option to convert to shares not be exercised, the indirect participation interest in the eight well drilling program will be maintained and distributions from success in these wells will be paid in accordance with the agreements.  Any partial conversion of an indirect participation interest into common shares will result in a corresponding decrease in the investors’ interest in the eight well drilling program.  The balance of the indirect participation interest that may be converted into shares is a maximum of 1,421,814 common shares (Dec 2008 – 2,160,000, Sep 2008 – 2,160,000) as explained below.

Indirect participation interests (cont’d)

Since the date of the agreement up to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, certain IPI investors have exercised their right to convert their interest into common shares for a total 3.5750% interest, resulting in issuance of 476,667 InterOil common shares.  These conversions reduced the initial IPI liability balance of $96,861,259 by $13,851,160 and the initial conversion option balance of $20,000,000 by $2,860,000.

Since the date of the agreement up to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, certain IPI investors with a combined 6.425% interest in the eight well drilling program have waived their right to convert their IPI percentage into 856,667 common shares.  These waivers have resulted in conveyance being triggered on this portion of the IPI agreement.  The conveyance accounting for this waived interest on the completed portion of the exploration program has reduced the IPI liability balance by $12,985,239.  A further IPI liability of $11,908,105 is maintained in our balance sheet in relation to this conveyed IPI interest and will be offset against amounts that will be spent on completing the eight well exploration program as agreed under the IPI Agreement.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company also bought back a combined 4.3364% interest in the IPI Agreement from two investors for $56,479,615 to be settled in two tranches of InterOil common shares.  The first tranche of common shares was for 35% of the total consideration and was issued on September 15, 2009.  The second tranche of shares for the remaining 65% of the total consideration will be issued on December 15, 2009 based on a ten day VWAP immediately prior to the date of issue.  This liability of $36,711,450 has been accrued and has been included in ‘Other accounts payable and accrued liabilities’ at September 30, 2009.  As part of this buyback transaction, the investor’s option to convert to InterOil common shares lapsed, triggering conveyance under the IPI Agreement.  The conveyance accounting for this purchased interest has reduced the IPI liability balance by $16,801,166.  No further liability needs to be maintained on the balance sheet for this acquired interest as InterOil has no further obligation to the IPI investors in relation to this acquired interest.

As at September 30, 2009, the balance of the PNG Drilling Ventures Limited ("PNGDV") indirect participation interest in the Company’s phase one exploration program within the area governed by petroleum prospecting licenses 236, 237 and 238 is $1,384,492 (Dec 2008 - $1,384,492, Sep 2008 - $1,384,492).  In 2006 an amendment was made to the original agreement whereby PNG Drilling Ventures Limited converted their remaining balance of $9,685,830 into 575,575 InterOil common shares and also retained a 6.75% interest in the next four exploration wells (the first of the four wells is Elk-1, with an additional two exploration wells to be drilled after Elk-4/A).  PNGDV also has the right to participate in the 16 wells that follow the first four mentioned above up to an interest of 5.75% at a cost of $112,500 per 1% per well (with higher amounts to be paid if the depth exceed 3,500 meters and the cost exceeds $8,500,000).

The accounting for the amendment to the agreement resulted in the fair value of the shares issue of $7,948,691 being recognized as share capital.  The Company has also recognized an initial liability relating to its obligation to drill the above four wells on behalf of the investors of $3,588,560.  The difference between the opening balance and the amount allocated to share capital and the revised amount allocated to the liability of $1,851,421 has been expensed as a cost of amending the original transaction.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $nil (Sep 2008 – $540,002) of geological and geophysical costs and drilling costs in relation to the Elk-4A exploratory well have been allocated against the liability bringing the remaining balance to $1,384,492.  PNGDV liability has been accounted using conveyance accounting as there are no conversion options attached to the liability, unlike the IPI non-financial liability noted above.

Other

In addition to the above, PNG Energy Investors (“PNGEI”), an indirect participation interest investor who converted all of its interest to common shares in fiscal year 2004, has the right to participate up to a 4.25% interest in 16 wells commencing from exploration wells numbered 9 to 24.  As at the end of September 30, 2009 we have drilled 6 exploration wells since inception of our exploration program within PPL 236, 237 and 238 in Papua New Guinea.  In order to participate, PNGEI would be required to contribute a proportionate amount of drilling costs related to these wells.

Preference Shares

In November 2007, the Company authorized the issue of 1,035,554 convertible preference shares at an issue price of $28.97 to investors amounting to a total of $30,000,000.  517,777 of the authorized preference shares were issued to an investor in November 2007 for $15,000,000.  The preferred stock carried a fixed divided of 5% per annum payable quarterly in arrears in cash or stock at the issuers’ option.  The preference dividend payment of 5% per annum was treated as an interest expense in the Statement of Operations.  The preference dividend paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $nil (Sep 2008 - $418,526).  During the quarter ended September 30, 2008 all preference shares issued (517,777 shares) were converted into common shares.

8% subordinated debentures (cont’d)

Based on guidance under CICA 3863, the debentures were assessed based on the substance of the contractual arrangement in determining whether it exhibits the fundamental characteristic of a financial liability or equity.  Management had assessed that the debenture instrument mainly exhibited characteristics that are liability in nature; however, the embedded conversion feature was equity in nature and needed to be bifurcated and disclosed separately within equity.  Management applied residual basis and had valued the liability component first and assigned the residual value to the equity component.

Management had fair valued the liability component by discounting the expected interest payments using a nominal rate of 13.5% being Management’s estimate of the expected interest payments for a similar instrument without the conversion feature.  The liability component was valued at $81,933,311 and the remaining balance of $13,066,689 was allocated to the equity component before offsetting transaction costs.

The placement fee of $5,700,000 paid to the investors in common shares of the Company was treated to be in the nature of a debt discount and was offset against the liability component.  The transaction costs relating to the issue amounting to $219,966 has been split based on the percentages allocated to the liability and equity components; the costs relating to the liability component of $189,711 has been offset against the liability component, and costs relating to the equity component of $30,255 have been allocated against the equity component recognized.

The liability component on initial recognition after adjusting for the placement fee and transaction costs amounted to $76,043,600 and the equity component amounted to $13,036,434.  The liability component will be accreted over the five year maturity period to bring the liability back to the carrying value.  The accretion expense relating to the debenture liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,212,262 (Sep 2008 - $1,193,669).  In addition to the accretion, interest at 8% per annum has been expensed for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounting to $2,712,936 (Sep 2008 - $2,755,159). The interest payable up to May 9, 2009 was paid in a combination of cash and shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, certain debenture holders exercised their conversion rights for $16,025,000 resulting in issue of 641,000 common shares of the Company.  During May 2009, a further 755,000 debentures amounting to $18,875,000 were converted into common shares of the Company.  On June 8, 2009, all remaining debentures outstanding were converted into common shares due to a mandatory conversion resulting from the daily VWAP of the common shares being above $32.50 for at least 15 consecutive trading days.  The remaining book value of the liability and equity portion on the date of mandatory conversion was transferred to share capital to record this conversion.  As at September 30, 2009, of the 3,800,000 convertible debentures issued, nil (Sep 2008 – 3,200,000), were outstanding.

Aggregate intrinsic value of the 1,786,000 options issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2009 is $22,427,873. Aggregate intrinsic value of 884,750 options exercisable as at September 30, 2009 is $13,066,383.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14.50 (Sep 2008 - $15.75).  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,826,366 (Sep 2008 - $456,867).  Cash received from option exercise under all share-based payment arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $3,978,610 (Sep 2008 - $956,720).

The fair value of the 250,500 (Sep 2008 – 407,500) options granted subsequent to January 1, 2009 has been estimated at the date of grant in the amount of $3,632,140 (Sep 2008 - $7,861,820) using a Black-Scholes pricing model.  An amount of $5,633,690 (Sep 2008 - $3,825,644) has been recognized as compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The current year compensation expense of $5,633,690 (Sep 2008 - $3,825,644) was adjusted against contributed surplus under equity, out of which $1,826,366 (Sep 2008 - $456,867) was transferred to share capital on exercise of options, leaving a net impact of $3,807,324 (Sep 2008 - $3,368,777) on contributed surplus.

Warrants

In 2004, InterOil issued five-year warrants to purchase 359,415 common shares at an exercise price equal to $21.91.  A total of nil (Dec 2008 – 337,252, Sep 2008 – 337,252) were outstanding at September 30, 2009.  The warrants were exercisable between August 27, 2004 and August 27, 2009.  The warrants were recorded at the fair value calculated at inception as a separate component of equity.  The fair value was calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.5%, dividend yield of nil, volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 45% and a weighted average expected life of the warrants of five years.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 302,305 of the warrants were exercised and converted into common shares.

All unexercised warrants lapsed on August 27, 2009.

(a)
The amount pertaining to the petroleum prospecting and retention licenses represents the amount InterOil has committed as a condition on renewal of these licenses.  Of this commitment, as at September 30, 2009, management estimates that $46,335,037 would satisfy the commitments in relation to the IPI investors.

Contingencies:

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Phil Mulacek, and his controlled entities Petroleum Independent & Exploration Corporation and P.I.E. Group, LLC, together with the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, are defendants in Todd Peters, et. al. v. Phil Mulacek et. al.; Cause No. 05-040-03592-CV; pending in the 284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas.  The plaintiffs are members of a partnership that bought a modular oil refinery that was subsequently, through a series of transactions, sold to a subsidiary of the Company.  Plaintiffs contend that Mr. Mulacek and his controlled entities breached fiduciary duties owed to the plaintiffs and also assert claims for common law fraud, fraudulent inducement, statutory fraud, securities fraud, breach of contract, investor oppression, conversion, theft, money had and received, and tortious interference with a contract.  Plaintiffs seek to impose liability on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries for those alleged acts through claims of ratification, conspiracy, aiding and abetting, joint enterprise, and knowing participation in the breach of another's fiduciary duty.  Plaintiffs further seek to impose liability on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries directly through the claims of conversion, theft, and tortious interference with a contract.   In late July 2009, plaintiffs amended their petition adding sixteen new plaintiffs.  Plaintiffs seek actual damages in excess of $125,000,000 and unspecified punitive damages, attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs.  In late July 2009, the trial setting was continued with a new trial date to be set in the spring of 2010.  The Company and other defendants are vigorously contesting the matter.  If however, plaintiffs succeed in obtaining a judgment in the amount they seek, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its subsidiaries.

In addition to the above, from time to time the Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business.  While the outcome of these matters is uncertain and there can be no assurance that such matters will be resolved in the Company’s favor, the Company does not currently believe that the outcome of adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceedings related to these and other matters or any amount which it may be required to pay by reason thereof would have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Import Parity Price (‘IPP’) formula
 
A revised Import Parity Price (‘IPP’) formula, which governs refined product sales in Papua New Guinea, has been in place with the PNG Government on an interim basis since June 2008.  The revised formula is yet to be formally entrenched by means of necessary amendment to the Project Agreement governing the Company’s relationship with the Independent State of Papua New Guinea.
