FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in U.S. federal and Canadian securities laws. Such statements are generally identifiable by the terminology used such as “may,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “budgets,” “targets” or other similar wording suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in or incorporated by reference in this MD&A are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our business strategies and plans; plans for and anticipated timing of our exploration and appraisal (including drilling plans) and other business activities and results therefrom; anticipated timing of certain well testing and resource certifications under the Total SSA (as defined herein); characteristics of our properties; construction and development of a proposed liquefaction plant and central processing facility in Papua New Guinea; the timing and cost of such construction and development; commercialization and monetization of any resources; whether sufficient resources will be established; the likelihood of successful exploration for gas and gas condensate or other hydrocarbons; cash flows from operations; sources of capital and its sufficiency; operating costs; contingent liabilities; environmental matters; and plans and objectives for future operations; and timing, maturity and amount of future capital and other expenditures and the ability to obtain requisite financing in the future.

Many risks and uncertainties may affect matters addressed in these forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

our financial condition may be adversely affected if there are long term declines in oil and natural gas prices;

Forward-looking statements and information are based on our current beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to us concerning anticipated financial conditions and performance, business prospects, strategies, regulatory developments, the ability to attract joint venture partners, future hydrocarbon commodity prices, the ability to secure adequate capital funding, the ability to obtain equipment and qualified personnel in a timely manner to develop resources, the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, and the ability to develop reserves and production through development and exploration activities.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 2

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements will eventuate.

In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in our forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Some of these assumptions and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2015 AIF.

Further, forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by applicable law, we will not update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

All calculations converting natural gas to crude oil equivalent have been made using a ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude equivalent. Boe’s may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil equivalent is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Summary of operational highlights

A summary of the key operational matters and events for the quarter is as follows:

Airborne Field Survey

In January 2015, CGG Aviation (Australia) Pty Ltd began the acquisition of high resolution airborne gravity gradiometry over all of our PPLs and PRLs. As at March 31, 2016, we had completed 88% of the planned survey.

PRL 39 – Triceratops-3

In fourth quarter of 2015, we received notification from PRE of their intention to withdraw from further participation in PRL 39. There has been no change to the position disclosed in the 2015 MD&A. As disclosed in the 2015 MD&A, the Farm-In Agreement provides that following an effective withdrawal by PRE, we are required to refund to PRE $93.0 million in monthly installments commencing in the month subsequent to our receipt of any net cash proceeds from commercial sale of product from PRL 15 and the $93.0 million must be repaid in full within six years of receiving the withdrawal notification, or if our interest in PRL 15 becomes less than 30%. Following withdrawal of PRE, we also have a receivable of $29.7 million, which is refundable from Pacific LNG Operations Ltd, and other indirect participating interest holders, under the same terms as the amount refundable to PRE.

Subject to PRE withdrawing, our interest in the Triceratops discovery will be 78.1114%, and our interest in PRL 39 (excluding the Triceratops discovery) our interest will be 100% (94.25% assuming PNGDV elects to exercise their option to participate at their 5.75% interest election).

PRL 15 – Appraisal Program

During April 2015, the PRL 15 Joint Venture approved the drilling of a third appraisal well Antelope-6 to define the eastern flank of the reservoir. The Antelope-6 appraisal well was spudded by the PRL 15 Joint Venture on December 24, 2015. The well is located about 2km east-south-east of Antelope-3. On January 29 2016, we announced that the Antelope-6 appraisal well encountered top reservoir within expectations at approximately 2,076 meters (6,811 feet) true vertical depth sub-sea.

During February 2016, 9-5/8” liner was run to the Antelope-6 top reservoir, four cores were cut from the upper section of the reservoir and intermediate logs were run. The four cores were cut over an interval of 2,080 to 2,142 meters true vertical depth sub-sea and the well reached a depth within the reservoir section of 2,142 meters true vertical depth sub-sea. Formation evaluation of log data showed that 12 meters of dolomite was present in the drilled section with the remainder of the section being limestone of good reservoir quality. An intermediate, multi-rate flow test was conducted over an interval from 2,072 to 2,142 meters true vertical depth sub-sea to assess the deliverability of the matrix in the absence of major fractures. The test over the upper Kapau Limestone, completed in early March 2016, obtained a final stabilized flow rate of approximately 13 mmcfd over a 24 hour period, measured through a 40/64” choke.

Following the test, the well was drilled through the gas-water-contact to a total depth of 2,650 meters MDRT and a full suite of wireline logs run.

On January 21, 2016, the planned extended well test commenced at Antelope-5. The test was completed and the well flowed for a total of 343 hours producing a total volume of approximately 760 mmcf with a condensate gas ratio of 12.5 to 13.0 bbls/mmcf. Water rates were too low to be measured. The well was then shut-in for 16.75 days to record the subsequent pressure build-up. The majority of the stabilized flow occurred on a 48/64” choke at a rate of approximately 57 mmcfd. Downhole pressure gauges were successfully retrieved from both Antelope-5 and Antelope-1 (observation well) and extracted for analysis. Preliminary analysis confirmed the excellent reservoir quality and connectivity seen in the initial Antelope-5 production test conducted in mid-2015. The test has also provided further support to the volumetric estimates derived from the initial Antelope-5 production test. Further analysis to quantify nearby reservoir properties and volumetric estimates is ongoing.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 7

The PRL15 Joint Venture is currently considering whether to drill the Antelope-7 appraisal well and a decision is expected to be made before the end of the second quarter of 2016. If the PRL 15 Joint Venture decides not to drill Antelope-7, the certification process would then be implemented with Antelope-6 being the last well in the appraisal program and we would expect the process to be completed by the end of September 2016. In the event the PRL15 Joint Venture decide to drill Antelope-7 the expected timing of the interim resource certification payment will change.

PRL15 License Extension Application

On May 27, 2015, the operator of the PRL15 Joint Venture, lodged an extension application with Department of Petroleum and Energy, in respect of PRL 15 which was due to expire on 29 November 2015 (the “Extension Application”). As part of the Extension Application, the PRL 15 Joint Venture proposed new work programs and commitments for the extension term.

The Extension Application is still being considered. Pursuant to section 45(10) of the PNG Oil and Gas Act 1998, PRL 15 is deemed to continue in full force and effect until the Extension Application is determined.

Papua LNG Project

During the first quarter of 2016, the PRL 15 Joint Venture continued work on the compilation of the basis of design, supported by the results of numerous site surveys which have been completed to date. These surveys include metocean, geophysical, geotechnical, topographical and environmental surveys. The PRL 15 Joint Venture also continued discussions on LNG marketing and project financing for development of the Papua LNG Project.

$400 million ANZ led senior secured capital expenditure facility

Subsequent to quarter end, on April 21, 2016, we entered into a $400 million senior secured capital expenditure facility on a syndicated basis arranged by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”) as sole mandated lead arranger and book runner. The conditions precedent were satisfied on May 6, 2016 with the drawings from the facility being used to, among other things, refinance the $300 million Credit Suisse led syndicated secured loan facility. The ANZ led senior secured capital expenditure facility has an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 6% and terminates on December 31, 2017, subject to certain interim milestones being achieved. Other lenders in the syndicate include Westpac PNG Limited, Bank of South Pacific Limited, Intesa Sanpaolo SPA, Credit Suisse, SocGen, Morgan Stanley and UBS. Security for the ANZ led senior secured capital expenditure facility includes certain of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets.

Other matters

During April 2016, we received notice from Puma Energy Pacific Holdings Pte Ltd (Puma) of a claim in relation to sludge which Puma assert was found in the tanks of the refinery at the time the refinery was sold to Puma in June 2014. We have not determined the validity of the claim and accordingly no provision has been made in accounts in relation to the possible outcome of the claim. Should a valid claim be found to exist, our current assessment is that the amount payable will not be material.

Analysis Comparing Financial Condition as at March 31, 2016 and 2015

As at March 31, 2016, our debt-to-capital ratio (being debt divided by [shareholders’ equity plus debt]) was 19%, compared to 14% as at December 31, 2015, well below our targeted maximum gearing level of 50%. Gearing targets are based on factors that include operating cash flows, cash needs for development, capital market and economic conditions, and are assessed regularly. Our current ratio (being current assets divided by current liabilities), which measures our ability to meet short-term obligations, was 2.0 times as at March 31, 2016, compared to 2.2 times as at December 31, 2015. The current ratio satisfied our internal target of above 1.5 times as at March 31, 2016.

Variance in Total Assets:

As at March 31, 2016, our total assets amounted to $1,174.8 million, compared with $1,191.4 million as at December 31, 2015. The decrease of $16.6 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2015, was primarily due to:

$44.3 million decrease in trade and other receivables, mainly due to receipt of funds from Total in relation to a transition services agreement and an adjustment to the discounted value of sale proceeds receivable from Total as a result of the change to the expected cash flow timing of the interim resource payment under the Total SSA from June 2016 to September 2016.

These decreases have been partially offset by:

$25.9 million increase in exploration and evaluation assets costs capitalized during the period, primarily associated with drilling and testing costs for Antelope-6 in PRL 15.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 9

Variance in Total Liabilities:

As at March 31, 2016, our total liabilities amounted to $389.5 million, compared with $391.7 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease of $2.2 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2015, was primarily due to:

$63.4 million decrease in trade and other payables resulting mainly due to the restructure of our activities as a result of the transition of operatorship of PRL 15 to Total and also our plan to defer exploration and appraisal work outside of PRL 15 until the Elk Antelope appraisal program is completed.

This decrease has been partially offset by:

$60.0 million increase in secured loans as a result of drawdowns on the Credit Suisse syndicated secured loan.

Analysis of Consolidated Financial Results Comparing Quarters Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

Our net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $17.0 million, compared with a net loss of $21.9 million for the same quarter in 2015, a decrease of $4.9 million. This was primarily due to the $16.0 million decrease in exploration costs as a result of lower exploration seismic activities in the first quarter of 2016, and also a $5.1 million decrease in finance costs mainly resulting from financing fees incurred on the Credit Suisse led syndicated secured loan facility during the prior year quarter associated with the maturity date extension. These decreases have been partly reduced by the $10.8 million decrease in interest revenue due to the adjustment to the discounted value of sale proceeds receivable from Total as a result of the change to the expected cash flow timing of the interim resource payment under the Total SSA from June 2016 to September 2016. In addition, there was an increase in administrative and general expenses of $3.9 million, mainly due to the restructuring of our operations and corporate functions and also our plan to defer further exploration and appraisal work outside of PRL 15 until the Elk Antelope appraisal program is completed, resulting in costs being expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized.

The table below analyzes key movements, the net of which primarily explains the variance in results between the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

		Quarterly Variance ($ millions)
		$	4.9		Net loss variance for the comparative periods primarily due to:
Ø	Interest revenue	$	(10.8	)	Decrease in interest income for the current quarter was mainly due to an adjustment to the amount receivable under the Total SSA as a result of a change in the timing of interim certification payments to September 2016.
Ø	Other revenue	$	(1.5	)	Other revenues for the quarter were comprised of support services (post divestment) recharged to Puma. The volume of support services provided has decreased since the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Ø	Administrative and general expenses	$	(3.9	)	The increase in administrative and general expenses was mainly due to the restructure of our operations and corporate functions and also our plan to defer further exploration and appraisal work outside of PRL 15 until the Elk Antelope appraisal program is completed, resulting in costs being expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized.
Ø	Legal and professional fees	$	0.8		The decrease in legal and professional fees was mainly due to lower consultant fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, due to completion of the office transition from Cairns, Australia, and the arbitration on PRL 15 during the prior year.
Ø	Exploration costs	$	16.0		The decrease in exploration costs was primarily as a result of lower exploration seismic activities in the current year quarter. During the prior year quarter, we expensed seismic activities over the Murua lead in PPL 474, exploration seismic over PPL 475, and airborne gravity survey costs incurred for PPL 476, PPL 477 and PRL15.
Ø	Finance costs	$	5.7		The decrease in finance costs was primarily due to lower facility fees for the Credit Suisse led syndicated secured loan facility. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, finance costs mainly comprised of facility fees for the maturity date extension of the Credit Suisse facility.
Ø	Foreign exchange (losses)/ gains	$	(0.6	)	The decrease in foreign exchange gains was primarily due to lower depreciation of the PGK against USD as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Ø	Depreciation and amortization	$	(0.2	)	The increase in depreciation expense was due to a decrease in the depreciation that could be capitalized to projects as a result of the reduction to our activities.
Ø	Interest expense	$	(0.7	)	The increase in interest expense was largely due to use of the Credit Suisse led syndicated facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Analysis of Consolidated Cash Flows Comparing Quarters Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

As at March 31, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $43.6 million (March 31, 2015 - $304.7 million), of which $8.2 million (March 31, 2015 - $8.3 million) was restricted. Of the total restricted cash at March 31, 2016, $8.0 million was restricted as a debt reserve under the Credit Suisse led syndicated secured loan facility and the balance was made up of a cash deposit for lease of office premises and term deposits on our PPLs.

		$	19.0	Variance for the comparative periods primarily due to:
Ø	Cash used in operations, before changes in operating working capital	$	13.2	The decrease in cash used in operations, before changes in operating working capital for the quarter, was mainly due to the decrease in exploration activities expensed as incurred and financing costs, offset by the increase in administrative expenses.
Ø	Cash generated from operations relating to changes in operating working capital	$	5.8	The decrease in cash used in operations relating to changes in operating working capital was due to decreased trade and other payables due to reduced activities and our plan to defer exploration and appraisal work outside of PRL 15 until the Elk Antelope appraisal program is completed.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Cash outflows from investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $43.3 million compared with an outflow of $63.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a net decrease in cash outflows of $20.4 million.

This table outlines key variances in cash (outflows)/inflows from investing activities between the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

		Quarterly variance ($ millions)
		$	20.4		Variance for the comparative periods primarily due to:
Ø	Expenditure on exploration and evaluation assets net of JV contributions	$	39.1		The decrease in expenditure on exploration and evaluation assets is due to a reduction in all drilling activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Ø	Proceeds from sale of drilling consumables, spares and plant and equipment	$	4.3		The increase in the proceeds from sale of drilling consumables, spares and plant and equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 is due to the restructure of our activities and also our plan to defer further exploration and appraisal work outside of PRL 15 until the Elk Antelope appraisal program is completed. As a result, we have disposed of surplus drilling consumables, spares and plant and equipment.
Ø	Cash (used in)/ generated from investing activities relating to change in non-operating working capital	($	23.1	)	The movement in non-operating working capital was primarily related to a reduction in trade payables and accruals in our exploration and development operations, in addition to a decrease in receivables due to receipt of funds from Total related to services provided under the transitional services arrangements for transfer of operatorship to Total.

Cash flows generated from financing activities

Cash inflows from financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $60.0 million compared with nil for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a net increase in cash inflows of $60.0 million.

Credit Suisse led Syndicated Secured Loan

On June 17, 2014, we entered into a $300.0 million syndicated, senior secured capital expenditure facility through a consortium of banks led by Credit Suisse. The facility was supported by the participating lenders CBA, ANZ, UBS, Macquarie, BSP, Westpac, MUFG and SocGen. The facility has an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 5% and matures at the end of 2016.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we drew down $60.0 million under this facility. As at March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the debt covenants.

Other Sources of Capital

Our share of expenditure on exploration wells, appraisal wells and extended well test programs is funded by capital raising activities, debt, cash calls from joint venture partners and asset sales.

Capital Expenditure

Net capital expenditure on exploration and evaluation assets

Net capital expenditures on our exploration and evaluation assets in PNG for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $25.9 million, compared with $57.8 million during the same period of 2015.

This analysis outlines key net capital expenditure in the quarter ended March 31, 2016:

	Quarterly movement ($ millions)

	$	501.7		Opening balance of exploration and evaluation assets

	$	25.9		Net capital expenditure consisting of following:

Ø	$	22.6		Costs for drilling and testing of Antelope-6.

Ø	$	4.8		Costs for development survey, environmental and societal studies, preparation works, project finance and operator transition for Papua LNG Project.

Ø	$	(1.5	)	Other expenditures, including indirect project support costs and field care and maintenance for PRL 15, and site preparation costs of the Antelope-7 well, offset by a reduction to inventory due to sales during the quarter.

	$	527.6		Closing balance of exploration and evaluation assets

Gross capital expenditure on exploration and evaluation assets

Gross capital expenditure on our exploration and evaluation assets in PNG for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $31.5 million.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 14

This analysis outlines key gross capital expenditures in the quarter ended March 31, 2016:

	*Quarterly* *movement* *($ millions)*

	$	31.5	Gross capital expenditure consisting of following:

Ø	$	22.9	Costs for drilling and testing of Antelope-6.

Ø	$	4.9	Costs for development survey, environmental and societal studies, preparation works, project finance and operator transition for Papua LNG Project.

Ø	$	3.7	Other expenditures, including indirect project support costs and field care and maintenance for PRL 15, and site preparation costs of the Antelope-7 well, offset by a reduction to inventory due to sales during the quarter.

Capital Requirements

Our primary use of capital resources has been for exploration and development activities. We have to execute exploration activities within a set timeframe to meet the minimum license commitments in relation to our PPLs and PRLs. Noted below are our contractual obligations and commitments over the next five years which are required at a minimum to maintain our licenses in good standing. Subject to meeting the license commitment requirements, our capital expenditures can be accelerated or decelerated at our discretion.

The PRL 15 Joint Venture is currently considering whether to drill the Antelope-7 appraisal well and a decision is expected to be made before the end of the second quarter of 2016. If the PRL 15 Joint Venture decides not to drill Antelope-7, the certification process would then be implemented with Antelope-6 being the last well in the appraisal program and we would expect the process to be completed by the end of September 2016, at which time we will receive the interim resource certification payment under the Total SSA. In the event the PRL15 Joint Venture decide to drill Antelope-7 the expected timing of the interim resource certification payment will change.

We believe that the revised secured financing facility of $400.0 million led by ANZ will enable us to fund operations until the estimated interim certification payment is received. We can also raise additional funding through asset sales to ensure sufficient cash to be available to further our development plans.

In July 2015, we filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the Alberta Securities Commission and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system. These filings will enable us to add financial flexibility in the future and issue, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion of securities in one or more offerings for a period of 25 months from the effective date of the prospectus. These securities may be debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, warrants or a combination thereof. We expect that we will be able to secure the necessary financing through one, or a combination of, the aforementioned alternatives.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 15

Oil and gas exploration and development and liquefaction are capital intensive and our business plans involve raising capital, which depends on market conditions when we raise such capital. Additionally, our PRL 15 Joint Venture share of costs of construction of a liquefaction plant, central processing facility and other infrastructure associated with the proposed Papua LNG Project may amount to billions of dollars and thus exceed our existing cash balances. No assurance can be given that we will obtain new capital or refinance current facilities on terms that are acceptable to us, particularly with market volatility.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

This table contains information on payments to meet our contracted exploration and debt obligations for each of the next five years and beyond. It should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Consolidated Financial Statements and respective notes thereto.

	Payments Due by Period

The PPL and PRL amounts represent our commitments for these licenses as at March 31, 2016. The terms of grant of our PPLs includes commitments for us to spend $351.6 million over the remainder of the six-year terms. The terms of grant of PRL 39 require us to spend $27.8 million on the license area by the end of 2018.

RISK FACTORS

Our business operations and financial position are subject to risks. A summary of the key risks that may affect matters addressed in this document have been included under “Forward Looking Statements” above. Detailed risk factors can be found under “Risk Factors” in our 2015 AIF available at www.sedar.com.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The effect of changes in estimates on future periods have not been disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as estimating it is impracticable. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, there were no changes in the methodology used to make critical accounting estimates to those disclosed in our 2015 MD&A.

For a discussion of those accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 of the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, available at www.sedar.com, which summarizes our significant accounting policies.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

New accounting standards not yet applicable as at March 31, 2016

These new standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2016 and have not been early adopted:

IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from January 1, 2018): This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2018 but is available for early adoption. We have yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact, but we do not expect any material changes due to this standard. We have not yet decided whether to early adopt IFRS 9.

IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from January 1, 2018): The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective from January 1, 2019): The new standard now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. The standard has an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard also provides guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts). We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION

Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, included in this MD&A are not defined nor have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 17

EBITDA represents our net income/(loss) plus total interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is used by us to analyze operating performance. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP (i.e. IFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results. Therefore, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, operating profit, net cash provided from operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further, EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow under IFRS and should not be considered as such.

This table reconciles net (loss)/profit from continuing operations, a GAAP measure, to EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure for each of the last eight quarters.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to us is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others, particularly during the period in which the annual and interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in our annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by us under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time specified in securities legislation. Such officers have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at our financial year-end and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at December 31, 2015 for the foregoing purposes.

While our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures will necessarily prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Management Discussion and Analysis INTEROIL CORPORATION 18

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Such officers have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting at our financial year-end and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, at December 31, 2015, for the foregoing purpose.

Material Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No material change in our internal controls over financial reporting were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

A control system, including our disclosure and internal controls and procedures, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met, no matter how well it is conceived, and it should not be expected that the disclosure and internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud.

General information

InterOil Corporation (the "Company" or "InterOil") is a publicly traded, independent oil and gas business with a sole focus on Papua New Guinea. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory) on August 24, 2007. The address of its registered office is Suite 300-204 Black Street, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Directors for issue on May 10, 2016. The Board of Directors has the power to amend and reissue these financial statements

Significant accounting policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including IAS 34 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

(a)

Statement on liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.

The net current assets of the Company as at March 31, 2016 amounted to $317.0 million compared to $356.3 million as at December 31, 2015. The Company has cash, cash equivalents and cash restricted of $43.6 million as at March 31, 2016 (December 2015 - $41.3 million), of which $8.2 million is restricted (December 2015 - $8.2 million).

The Company’s primary use of capital resources has been for exploration and development activities. The Company has to execute exploration activities within a set timeframe to meet the minimum license commitments in relation to the Company’s Petroleum Prospecting Licenses (“PPLs”) and Petroleum Retention Licenses (“PRLs”). Refer to note 12 for further information on these commitments. Subject to meeting the license commitment requirements, the Company’s capital expenditures can be accelerated or decelerated at its discretion.

The PRL 15 Joint Venture, comprising of Total S.A. ("Total"), Oil Search Limited and InterOil ("the PRL 15 Joint Venture"), is currently considering whether to drill the Antelope-7 appraisal well and a decision is expected to be made before the end of the second quarter of 2016. If the PRL 15 Joint Venture decides not to drill Antelope-7, the certification process would then be implemented with Antelope-6 being the last well in the appraisal program and the Company would expect the process to be completed by the end of September 2016, at which time the Company will receive the interim resource certification payment under the share sale agreement with Total ("Total SSA"). Refer to Note 4. In the event the PRL15 Joint Venture decide to drill Antelope-7 the expected timing of the interim resource certification payment will change.

Subsequent to quarter end, on April 21, 2016, the Company entered into a $400 million senior secured capital expenditure facility on a syndicated basis arranged by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited as sole mandated lead arranger and book runner (“ANZ Facility”). The conditions precedent were satisfied on May 6, 2016 with the drawings from the facility being used to, among other things, refinance the $300 million Credit Suisse led facility. The term of the facility has also been extended from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017 subject to certain interim milestones being achieved. The facility is secured by the Company’s subsidiaries and has an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 6%. The covenants include a defined calculation for gearing not to exceed 60% at any time, a requirement that the equity does not fall below $500.0 million at any time, agreed expenditure limits tested for the six months period ending June 30 and December 31 each year and a requirement to obtain consent to redraw the facility after receipt of the interim certification payment under the Total SSA.

The Company believes that the ANZ Facility will enable the Company to fund operations until the estimated interim certification payment is received. The Company can also raise additional funding through asset sales to ensure sufficient cash to be available to further its development plans.

Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

In addition, in July 2015, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the Alberta 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 an aggregate of $1.0 billion of securities in one or more offerings for a period of 25 months from the effective date of the prospectus. These securities may be debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, warrants or a combination thereof. Management expects that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing through one, or a combination of, the aforementioned alternatives.

However, oil and gas exploration, development and liquefaction are capital intensive and the Company’s business plans involve raising capital, which depends on market conditions when raising such capital. Additionally, the Company’s joint venture share of the costs of construction of an LNG plant and other infrastructure associated with the proposed Papua LNG project may amount to billions of dollars and thus exceed the Company’ existing cash balances. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining new capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company, particularly with market volatility.

Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in the belief that the Company will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and for at least the amounts stated, for a period not less than one year from the date of this financial report.

(b)

Accounting policies

The accounting policies followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

(c)

New standards issued but not yet effective

The following new standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2016 and have not been early adopted:

IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from January 1, 2018): This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2018 but is available for early adoption. The Company is yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact, but does not expect any material changes due to this standard. The Company has not yet decided to early adopt IFRS 9.

IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from January 1, 2018): The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard.

IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective from January 1, 2019): The new standard now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. The standard has an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard also provides guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts). The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard.

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and geographic risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

Risk Management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors of InterOil. The Finance Department identifies, evaluates and actively mitigates financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s operations. The board of directors of InterOil provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of these risks on the Company’s financial performance.

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company approximates their carrying amounts.

The carrying values (less impairment provision if provided) of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of financial liabilities approximates their fair values which, for disclosure purposes, are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

All the financial assets and financial liabilities in the above table are measured at a fair value on a non-recurring basis and are maintained at historical amortized cost.

(i) All secured loans are subject to floating interest rates and as such the carrying values of these loans are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Sale proceeds receivable from Total

Refer to note 5 for details of the Total SSA. The “Interim Resource Payment”, as defined under the Total SSA is due to the Company following the interim certification and has been calculated to be $593.9 million based on a certification provided by GCA, which certified a best case scenario of 7.1 tcfe of natural gas and natural gas liquids in the Elk and Antelope fields. The expected discounted value of this cash flow as at March 31, 2016 was $567.9 million. However, during March 2016, the Company adjusted the expected cash flow timing of the Interim Resource Payment from June 2016 to the end of September 2016. The PRL15 Joint Venture is currently considering whether to drill the Antelope-7 appraisal well and a decision is expected to be made before the end of the second quarter of 2016. In the event the PRL15 Joint Venture decide to drill Antelope-7 the expected timing of the interim resource certification payment will change.

Trade and other receivables (cont’d)

The Company recalculated the carrying amount of the receivable by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate and the adjustment has been recognized in profit or loss. The Company recalculated the carrying amount of the receivable as at March 31, 2016 to be $557.1 million, with the resulting adjustment of $10.8 million being recognized in the income statement during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The Company has recognized $11.4 million as a result of unwinding the discount on the receivable as interest income during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. In addition, this receivable has been reduced by $2.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which represents the carry received from Total for development activities undertaken over PRL 15, which is to be offset against the Interim Resource Payment when due. The following table shows the movement in the receivable during the period.

(b) Contingencies:

From time to time the Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising in the course of its 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 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.

Potential claim from Puma

During April 2016, the Company has received notice from Puma Energy Pacific Holdings Pte Ltd (Puma) of a claim in relation to sludge which Puma assert was found in the tanks of the refinery at the time the refinery was sold to Puma in June 2014. The Company has not determined the validity of the claim and accordingly no provision has been made in accounts in relation to the possible outcome of the claim. Should a valid claim be found to exist, the Company’s current assessment is that the amount payable will not be material.
