Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes
The information for the three and six month periods ended December 31,
1994 and December 31, 1993 is unaudited but includes all adjustments which the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
for those periods. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
consolidated financial statements include the Company's 50.7% owned subsidiary,
Magellan Petroleum Australia Limited ("MPAL").
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated
At December 31, 1994, the Company on a consolidated basis had
approximately $9,682,000 of cash and cash equivalents. A summary of the major
changes in cash items during the period is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period $ 8,351,000
Cash provided by operations ..................... 5,366,000
Net additions to property and equipment ......... (2,735,000)

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period ...... $ 9,681,000
==========
As to the Company (unconsolidated)
At December 31, 1994, Magellan Petroleum Corporation ("MPC"), on an
unconsolidated basis, had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,003,000.
MPC's normal annual operating budget is approximately $800,000 and its current
cash position and its future dividends from MPAL should be adequate to meet its
current cash requirements. MPC also has available a $1.5 million bank line of
credit. MPC has in the past invested and may in the future invest substantial
portions of its available funds to maintain its majority interest in MPAL.

MAGELLAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION
December 31, 1994
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont'd)
During December 1994, MPC received a dividend of $1,718,000 from MPAL
less $258,000 of Australian withholding taxes. The net proceeds of $1,460,000
were added to MPC's working capital.
As to MPAL
At December 31, 1994, MPAL had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$7,679,000. MPAL has budgeted approximately $1.0 million for exploration in
fiscal 1995 in comparison to the $1.6 million incurred during fiscal 1994. The
current composition of MPAL's oil and gas reserves are such that MPAL's future
revenues in the long term are expected to be derived from the sale of gas in
Australia.
MPAL expects to fund its exploration and development costs through its
cash flow from Australian operations, and if necessary, any additional
requirements from its A.$10 million bank line of credit.
Results of Operations
Three month period ended December 31, 1994 vs. December 31, 1993.
The Company had a consolidated net loss of $122,659 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1994 compared to net loss of $183,134 for the
comparable 1993 period. The components of consolidated net loss for the

Oil Sales
Oil sales decreased by 6% in fiscal 1994. Oil sales in Australia
decreased because of a 10% decrease in oil prices and a 12% decrease in the
number of units sold. This increase was offset by a 13% increase in the value of
the Australian dollar. MPAL's share of oil sales in the United States decreased
as the number of units sold decreased 28% but oil prices increased 12%. Oil unit

Salaries and employee benefits increased 20% primarily because of
increased costs in Australia and a 13% increase in the value of the Australian
dollar.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased 4% in 1994. The
costs in Australia increased because of the increase in the value of the
Australian dollar and an increase in capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties. The U.S. amounts have decreased because of an increase in the
remaining oil and gas reserves. The following table is a summary of the
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (in thousands) by geographic

1994. The average exchange rate used to translate MPAL's operations in Australia
was $.7557 for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, which is a 13% increase

Salaries and employee benefits increased 4% primarily because of the
increase in the value of the Australian dollar.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 4% in 1994. The
costs in Australia increased because of the increase in the value of the
Australian dollar and an increase in capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties. The U.S. amounts have decreased because of an increase in the
remaining oil and gas reserves. The following table is a summary of the
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense (in thousands) by geographic
area:

Exchange Effect
The value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar
increased to $.7756 at December 31, 1994 compared to the value of $.6667 at June
30, 1994. This resulted in a $1,066,000 credit to the accumulated translation
adjustments account for the six month period ended December 31, 1994. The 16%
increase in the value of the Australian dollar increased the reported asset and
liability amounts in the balance sheet at December 31, 1994 from the June 30,
1994 amounts. The average exchange rate used to translate MPAL's operations in
Australia was $.7474 for the six months ended December 31, 1994, which is a 12%
increase compared to the $.6681 rate for the December 31, 1993 period.
