Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

1.Nature of Business and Going Concern

 

Eagleford Energy Corp. (“Eagleford” or the “Company”) was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009. The principal activities of the Company consist of exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas properties. In addition, the Company holds a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on 8 mining claim blocks located in Red Lake, Ontario which is carried on the consolidated statement of financial position at $Nil. The company's registered office is 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1. The Company’s common shares trade on the OTC Markets (OTCQB) under the symbol EGFDF.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, as they come due for the foreseeable future. The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its oil and gas properties and has not yet realized profitable operations. The Company requires additional financing for its working capital and for the costs of exploration and development of its oil and gas properties.

 

Due to continuing operating losses, the Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. The Company will continue to seek additional forms of debt or equity financing, or other means of funding its operations, however, there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company.

 

The Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years which raise doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumption. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $8,458,522 (August 31, 2014: $3,489,237) and an accumulated deficit of $21,615,329 (August 31, 2014: $15,328,146). These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts that may differ from those shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company entered into two separate Joint Development Agreements on the Matthews Lease and received cash of $340,811 and the payment of certain obligations under the Matthews Lease. During fiscal 2014, the Company extinguished debt of $1,408,737 through the issuance of share capital. During the nine month period ended May 31, 2015, the Company received $200,773 for the payment of certain obligations under the Matthews Lease.

 

2.Basis of Preparation

 

Statement of Compliance

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2015.

 

Basis of Preparation

The policies applied in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended August 31, 2014. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending August 31, 2015 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Matthews Lease, Zavala County, Texas

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Company, Dyami Energy and OGR Energy Corporation, the Lessees, were litigating a dispute with the Lessors of the Matthew’s property. During the last quarter of fiscal year August 2013, the Company and the Lessors agreed to resolve the litigation and continue with the development of the Matthew’s property. In order to comply with certain State legal requirements, it was deemed necessary by the Lessors counsel to continue with the development through a newly executed lease document and the Company formed, Zavala Inc. a new wholly owned subsidiary to execute the new lease. The new lease was signed effective September 1, 2013 and the first of two payments of US$150,000 were paid to the Lessors upon signing the new lease as required initial pre-payment of anticipated production royalties along with a continuing development obligation under the lease to complete the previously drilled Matthews #1H horizontal well or drill a new well on the Matthews property no later than March 30, 2014. On September 1, 2013, the Matthews lease was renewed by the Company through Zavala Inc. and based on the concept of faithful representation under IAS 8, the carrying value of the Matthew’s lease by Dyami Energy was considered to be the value for Zavala Inc. as this arrangement is simply a reorganization in substance.

On December 3, 2013, (amended January 21, 2014) the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Stratex Oil and Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Stratex”) (the “Stratex JDA”) to further develop the Matthews Lease. Under the terms of the Stratex JDA, Stratex acted as operator and upon Stratex delivering i) US$150,000 to the lessors of the Matthews Lease on behalf of Zavala Inc., ii) delivering US $150,000 to the Company; and iii) commencing a hydraulic fracture of the Matthews #1H not later than March 31, 2014, Stratex earned a 66.67% working interest before payout (50% working interest after payout) in the Matthews #1H well and a 50% working interest in the 2,629 acre Matthews Lease (see Note 17). 

 

On April 11, 2014, the Company entered into a further Joint Development Agreement (“JDA2”) with Stratex and Quadrant Resources LLC, (“Quadrant”) for the development of the San Miguel formation on the Matthews Lease.  Pursuant to the terms of the JDA2, upon satisfaction of certain conditions including the Phase 1 Work Program and the cash consideration described below, Quadrant could earn an undivided 66.67% before payout and a 50% working interest after payout to the base of the San Miguel formation of the Matthews Lease by i) drilling 3 new wells and reworking 5 wells at its sole cost and expense by June 30, 2015 (the “Phase I Work Program”); ii) deliver US$100,000 to the Company upon execution of the JDA2 (paid); and iii) deliver US$65,000 to the Company on each of July 8, 2014; October 6, 2014 , January 5, 2015 and April 6, 2015. The Company recorded the cash payments and the payment of certain obligations under the Matthews Lease by Quadrant totaling US$303,712 (CDN$378,577) at May 31, 2015, as a reduction in exploration and evaluation assets. Under the terms of the JDA2 Quadrant was required to complete the Phase I Work Program and pay the Company cash consideration totaling US$360,000 by June 30, 2015, which it did not and accordingly the JDA2 expired without Quadrant earning any interest in the development area.

 

Effective March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Stratex and Quadrant pursuant Stratex assigned all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Matthews Lease and the JDA, to the Company and Quadrant. EEZ Operating is the operator of the Matthews Lease (see Note 17).

 

On July 2, 2015, the 2629 acre Matthews Lease was terminated according to its terms and the Company is currently assessing the number of acres to be held by production. The Company estimates that approximately 400 acres (representing approximately 15% of the total 2,629 lease acres) will be held by production (100% working interest and 75% revenue interest) and accordingly the Company has written down the lease to 15% of its carrying costs and recorded an impairment of exploration and evaluation assets of $4,720,194. The royalties payable under the Matthews Lease are 25%.

 

Murphy Lease, Zavala County, Texas

Subsequent to September 1, 2013 and the continuing development of the Matthews lease, Dyami Energy continued its development efforts with the Murphy lease. A tentative joint venture agreement with Stratex was reached but did not materialize and efforts to develop the Murphy lease were not successful. The Company had solicited lenders and investors in an attempt to obtain debt/equity financings as a means to improve Dyami Energy’s financial situation. Despite the Company’s attempts, these efforts were unsuccessful and management determined that it could no longer fund the Murphy operations, hence the lease was considered impaired and an impairment loss was recorded by Dyami Energy during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 (see Note 15).

 

On March 6, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Termination of a Domestic Entity with the Secretary of State, Texas for its wholly-owned subsidiary Dyami Energy and effective April 3, 2014, Dyami Energy was dissolved. All prior obligations with respect to the Matthew’s and Murphy’s lease on the books of Dyami Energy prior to its dissolution were recorded by the Company.

a)Decommissioning Obligations

The Company’s decommissioning obligations result from its ownership interests in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities. The total decommissioning obligation is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and facilities, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future years. The Company has estimated the net present value of decommissioning obligations to be $98,431 ($11,563 current and $86,868 long term) at May 31, 2015 (August 31, 2014: $11,768 current and $35,775 long term) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $112,656 (August 31, 2014: $60,629). These payments are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2031. The discount factor, being the risk free rate related to the liability is 2.25% (August 31, 2014: 2.57%).

 

b)Other Provisions

On January 28, 2014 a vendor of Dyami Energy received a summary judgment against Dyami Energy in the amount of $169,196 plus interest at a rate of 18% per annum from September 17, 2012 until paid and legal fees of $21,178 and interest at a rate of 5% per annum from the date of judgment until paid (District Court of Zavala County, Texas Case No. 13-02-12941-ZCV).

At August 31, 2014, the Company exchanged a secured note payable to Benchmark with a carrying value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) for a secured convertible note payable to Benchmark with a face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) (the “Note”). The Note has an interest rate of 10% and is due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default.

 

In the event that the Company closes any subsequent financing or series of financings that results in gross proceeds to the Company of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$2,000,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity of the Company, the Company shall allocate US$0.50 of every US$1.00 exceeding the US$2,000,000 raised from such financing to repay the Note. The Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and Zavala Inc. The Company may, in its sole discretion, prepay any portion of the principal amount upon seven days’ notice. Benchmark has the option at any time while the Note is outstanding to convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units. A conversion unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the conversion unit. The price of the conversion unit is the lessor of a price equal to the 30-day VWAP of the Company as of the date of conversion, less 20% (as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or similar events) or eight United States Cents (US$0.08) per share the (“Conversion Unit”).

 

Accounting Considerations 

The Company has accounted for this transaction as an exchange of debt instruments. Under IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms or substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability of part thereof is accounted for as an extinguishment. Since the new debt instrument has a conversion option, the terms are considered substantially different and therefore gives rise to extinguishment accounting. Further, the Company analyzed the conversion unit under IAS 39 and determined that it meets the definition of an embedded derivative. Since both components of the Conversion Unit (the common share component and warrant component) contain a variable exercise/conversion price, the Conversion Unit meets the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. As a result, the Conversion Unit is a derivative liability that requires fair value measurement each period.

 

Based on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the old note first to the derivative component at its fair value with the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as follows:

 

   Allocation 
Promissory note (old debt instrument)  $1,322,247 
Derivative liability (conversion unit)   (4,000,100)
Loss on exchange of debt instruments   2,677,753 
   $-

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

The Note will be accreted up to its face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) over the life of Note based on an effective interest rate. For the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded accretion on the note in the amount of $475,755. The carrying value of the note as at May 31, 2015 is $475,755. For the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest on the Note of $110,367 (see Note 11).

 

Shareholder Loans

Effective August 30, 2014, the Company converted shareholders’ loans and interest due in the aggregate amount of $1,180,570 through the issuance of a total of 14,757,102 units in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.08 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one half of one (1/2) common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) common share at an exercise price of CDN$0.10 until August 30, 2017. The fair value of the units ($2,516,505) was allocated to common shares $1,715,426 and warrants $801,079 based on their relative fair values and $1,335,935 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. The original terms of the debt did not include settlement by the issuance of equity instruments (see Note 9).

 

Accounting Considerations

The Company has accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment of debt instruments for equity instruments under the guidance of IFRIC Interpretation 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments”. IFRIC 19 addresses the accounting of when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. It states that if a debtor issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of a financial liability, those equity instruments are 'consideration paid' in accordance with IAS 39.41. Accordingly, the debtor should derecognise the financial liability fully or partly. IFRIC 19 further states that the debtor recognises in profit or loss the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part) extinguished and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. As result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment in the amount of $1,335,935 in profit and loss which is the difference of the fair value of the equity instruments ($2,516,505) and the carrying value of the debt instruments ($1,180,570).

 

The warrant component was valued using a Binomial Lattice model whereas the fair value of the common share component was based on the current market value of the company’s stock. The fair value of the conversion unit ($2,516,505) was allocated to the common stock component ($1,715,426) and warrant component ($801,079) based on their relative fair values. Significant assumptions utilized in the Binomial Lattice process are as follows for the warrant component of the conversion unit as of August 30, 2014:

   August 30, 2014 
Market value on valuation date  $0.16 
Contractual exercise rate  $0.092 
Term (years)   5.00 Years 
Expected market volatility   196.97%
Risk free rate using zero coupon US Treasury Security rate   0.94%

 

11.Derivative Financial Liabilities

 

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company has warrants issued with an exercise price in US dollars which are different from the functional currency of the Company (Canadian Dollars) and accordingly the warrants are treated as a financial liability and the fair value movement during the period is recognized in the profit or loss.

 

The following table set out the changes in derivative warrant liabilities during the respective periods:

At August 31, 2014 the Company issued a Secured Convertible Note with a face value $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) which gave rise to a derivative financial instrument. The Note embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. Additionally these features met the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. These terms and features consist of the Conversion Unit which is comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the Conversion Unit (see Note 10).

Current accounting principles that are provided in IAS 32 and IAS 39 require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in profit and loss. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the common share component of the conversion unit because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving common share components. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk free rates.

 

The Company has selected Binomial Lattice to fair value the warrant component of the conversion unit because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types market participants would likely consider in transactions involving warrants. Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as follows for the common share component contained in the conversion unit as at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014:

 

   May 31, 2015  August 31, 2014
Underlying price on valuation date*  $0.2217  $0.3090
Contractual conversion rate  $0.07  $0.08
Contractual term to maturity  0.25 Years  1.00 Years
Implied expected term to maturity  0.185 Years  0.613 Years
Market volatility:      
Range of volatilities  176.85% - 350.72%  78.41% - 269.09%
Equivalent volatility  263.79%  181.25%
Contractual interest rate  10.0%  10.0%
Equivalent market risk adjusted interest rate  10.00%  10.00%
Equivalent credit risk adjusted yield  3.62%  3.45%

 

*The underlying price of the common share component of the conversion unit is the sum of the market price on the valuation date and the fair value of the warrant component derived from the binomial lattice model.

 

Significant assumptions utilized in the Binomial Lattice process are as follows for the warrant component of the conversion unit as at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014:

 

   May 31, 2015  August 31, 2014
Market value on valuation date  $0.11  $0.16
Contractual exercise rate  $0.092  $0.092
Term (years)  4.25 Years  5.00 Years
Expected market volatility  176.48%  179.21%
Risk free rate using zero coupon US Treasury Security rate  1.49%  1.63%

 

12. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

 

Financial Instrument   Category   Measurement method
Cash  Fair value through profit or loss  Fair value
Marketable securities  Fair value through profit or loss  Fair value
Derivative liabilities  Fair value through profit or loss  Fair value
Trade and other receivables  Loans and receivables  Amortized cost
Trade and other payables  Other financial liabilities  Amortized cost
Provisions  Other financial liabilities  Amortized cost
Secured note payable and shareholders’ loans  Other financial liabilities  Amortized cost

 

The types of risk exposure and the ways in which such exposures are managed are as follows:

Credit Risk

Credit risk is primarily related to the Company’s receivables from joint venture partners and the risk of financial loss if a partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Receivables from joint venture partners are normally collected within one to three months of the joint venture bill being issued to the partner. The Company historically has not experienced any collection issues with its joint venture partners to date. The Company attempts to mitigate the risk from joint venture receivables by obtaining partner approval of significant capital expenditures prior to expenditure. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as determined by management based on their assessed collectability; therefore, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables generally represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company believes that its counterparties currently have the financial capacity to settle outstanding obligations in the normal course of business.

 

Concentration risks exist in cash because significant balances are maintained with one financial institution. The risk is mitigated because the financial institution is an international bank.

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows:

 

   May 31, 2015   August 31, 2014 
Cash  $12,239   $103,215 
Trade and other receivables   29,426    157,121 
Balance  $41,665   $260,336 

 

Liquidity Risk

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to fulfill planned exploration commitments on its oil and gas properties or that viable options are available to fund such commitments from new equity issuances or alternative sources such as farm-out agreements. However, as an exploration company at an early stage of development and without significant internally generated cash flow, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that actual exploration expenditures may exceed those planned. The current uncertainty in global markets could have an impact on the Company’s future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company has so far been able to raise the required financing to meet its obligations however, there can be no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future.

Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market or price risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments to mitigate this risk.

 

The oil and gas industry is exposed to a variety of risks including the uncertainty of finding and recovering economic reserves, the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs, securing markets for production, commodity prices, interest rate fluctuations, potential damage to or malfunction of equipment and changes to income tax, royalty, environmental or other such factors.

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

Market events and conditions in recent years including oil and gas supply and demand, disruptions in the international credit markets and other financial systems and the deterioration of global economic conditions have caused significant volatility to commodity prices. These conditions contributed to a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets. Notwithstanding various actions by governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions contributed to the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline. These factors have negatively impacted company valuations and may impact the performance of the global economy going forward. Although economic conditions improved, the recovery has been slow in various sectors including in Europe and the United States and has been impacted by various ongoing factors including sovereign debt levels and high levels of unemployment which continue to impact commodity prices and to result in volatility in the stock market.

 

The Company mitigates these risks by:

 

utilizing competent, professional consultants as support to management,
reviewing available petrophyisical analysis of prospects,
focusing on a limited number of core properties.

 

(i)Commodity Price Risk

 

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are impacted by world economic events that affect the levels of supply and demand. The Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible over the next twelve month period may have a significant impact on the Company as all its oil properties are still in a development stage.

 

Commodity Price Sensitivity

 

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk management position for the periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 to fluctuations in natural gas prices, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential impact of these price changes, the Company believes that 10% volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas prices potentially could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting net income as follows:

   2015   2014 
   Increase 10%   Decrease 10%   Increase 10%   Decrease 10% 
Net revenue  $42,140   $32,388   $51,403   $39,543 
Net loss  $(6,282,307)  $(6,292,059)  $(1,777,563)  $(1,789,423)

 

(ii)Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The prices received by the Company for the production of natural gas and natural gas liquids are primarily determined in reference to United States dollars but are settled with the Company in Canadian dollars. The Company’s cash flow for commodity sales will therefore be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company operates in Canada and a portion of its expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s financial instruments. The Company does not hedge its foreign currency exposure. The following assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars at May 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

   May 31, 2015    May 31, 2014 
Cash  $-   $133,094

 20%   (1,932,327)   1,932,327    (489,929)   489,929 

 

(iii)Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is short-term in nature with fixed rates. Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

 

(iv)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments included on the consolidated statement of financial position as at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, are comprised of cash, marketable securities, derivative liabilities, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, loans payable, shareholders’ loans and provisions.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace.

 

Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will have sufficient financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to funds its operations, growth and ongoing exploration and development commitments on its oil and gas interests. The Company is dependent on funding these activities through debt and equity financings and joint venture arrangements. Due to long lead cycles of the Company’s exploration and development activities, the Company’s capital requirements currently exceed its operational cash flow generated. As such the Company is dependent upon future financings in order to maintain its flexibility and liquidity and may from time to time be required to issue equity, issue debt, adjust capital spending or obtain additional farm-in arrangements.

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, availability of capital and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations. Current plans for the development commitments of the Company’s Texas lease include seeking debt or equity financing or seeking additional farm-in arrangements.

 

The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management and favorable market conditions to sustain future development of the business. As at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 and the Company considered its capital structure to comprise of shareholders equity and long-term debt.

 

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s capital management plan during the period ended May 31, 2015. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed restrictions on its capital requirements.

15. Dissolution of Dyami Energy LLC

 

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the Company, Dyami Energy and OGR Energy Corporation, the Lessees, were litigating a dispute with the Lessors of the Matthew’s property. During the last quarter of fiscal year August 2013, the Company and the Lessors agreed to resolve the litigation and continue with the development of the Matthew’s property. In order to comply with certain State legal requirements, it was deemed necessary by the Lessors counsel to continue with the development through a newly executed lease document and the Company formed, Zavala Inc. a new wholly owned subsidiary to execute the new lease. The new lease was signed effective September 1, 2013 and the first of two payments of US$150,000 were paid to the Lessors upon signing the new lease as required initial pre-payment of anticipated production royalties along with a continuing development obligation under the lease to complete the previously drilled Matthews #1H horizontal well or drill a new well on the Matthews property no later than March 30, 2014. On September 1, 2013, the Matthews lease was renewed by the Company through Zavala Inc. and based on the concept of faithful representation under IAS 8, the carrying value of the Matthew’s lease by Dyami Energy was considered to be the value for Zavala Inc. as this arrangement is simply a reorganization in substance.

 

Subsequent to September 1, 2013 and the continuing development of the Matthews lease, Dyami Energy continued its development efforts with the Murphy lease. A tentative joint venture agreement with Stratex was reached but did not materialize and efforts to develop the Murphy lease were not successful. The Company had solicited lenders and investors in an attempt to obtain debt/equity financings as a means to improve Dyami Energy’s financial situation. Despite the Company’s attempts, these efforts were unsuccessful and management determined that it could no longer fund the Murphy operations, hence the lease was considered impaired and an impairment loss was recorded by Dyami Energy during the third quarter. On March 6, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Termination of a Domestic Entity with the Secretary of State, Texas for its wholly-owned subsidiary Dyami Energy and effective April 3, 2014, Dyami Energy was dissolved. All prior obligations with respect to the Matthew’s and Murphy’s lease on the books of Dyami Energy prior to its dissolution were recorded by the Company.

 

The Company’s investment in Dyami Energy has been deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at the effective date, and presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the consolidated statements of cash flows as an impairment of the net assets and liabilities on dissolution of subsidiary.

 

The following table presents the effect of the dissolution of Dyami Energy on the consolidated financial statements of the Company at April 3, 2014:

   April 3, 2014 
Exploration and evaluation assets – Murphy lease  $(1,675,749)
Provisions   58,589 
Foreign currency translation reserve   301,884

17.Litigation

 

On or about September 30, 2014, Stratex filed a petition against Zavala Inc. in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas seeking breach of contract and actual damages of US$152,293 for Zavala Inc.’s alleged non-payment of its proportionate share of minimum royalties due under the Matthews Lease. Zavala Inc., disputed the claim citing US$300,000 paid by the Company was to be credited against the minimum royalties which Stratex had failed to do. Zavala Inc. paid the US$152,293 under protest and filed a Response and Cross Notice of Default against Stratex (Cause No.: 14-09-13290-ZCV). Effective March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Stratex and Quadrant pursuant to which the Company is entitled to receive US$25,000 in cash and 1,333,333 common shares of Stratex and Stratex shall assign all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Matthews Lease and JDA, to the Company and Quadrant. To date, the Company has received 1,333,000 common shares of Stratex and the assignment of the Matthews lease (see Note 19).

 

On or about October 27, 2014, the Company filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Alan Gaines, a former director of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty to the Company relating to Gaines role in the Company contracting with Stratex (Court File No.: 65-14-514935). Effective March 25, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Gaines under which Gaines transferred to the Company 1,200,000 common shares and 1,200,000 common share purchase warrants of Stratex exercisable at US$0.15 per until December 31, 2018 (see Note 19).

 

18.Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to the period ended May 31, 2015, the President through Core Energy Enterprises Inc. advanced the Company CDN$21,000 and US$117,536 on terms yet to be determined.

 

19.Marketable Securities

 

At each financial reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of investments which are held-for-trading, based on quoted closing bid prices at the consolidated statements of financial position date or the closing bid price on the last day the security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated statements of financial position date and such valuations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The resulting values for unlisted securities whether of public or private issuers, may not be reflective of the proceeds that could be realized by the Company upon their disposition. The fair value of the securities at May 31, 2015 was $252,624. For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $53,518 (2014 $Nil).

Capital Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Company will have sufficient financial capacity, liquidity and flexibility to funds its operations, growth and ongoing exploration and development commitments on its oil and gas interests. The Company is dependent on funding these activities through debt and equity financings and joint venture arrangements. Due to long lead cycles of the Company’s exploration and development activities, the Company’s capital requirements currently exceed its operational cash flow generated. As such the Company is dependent upon future financings in order to maintain its flexibility and liquidity and may from time to time be required to issue equity, issue debt, adjust capital spending or obtain additional farm-in arrangements.

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions, availability of capital and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations. Current plans for the development commitments of the Company’s Texas lease include seeking debt or equity financing or seeking additional farm-in arrangements.

 

The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management and favorable market conditions to sustain future development of the business. As at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 and the Company considered its capital structure to comprise of shareholders equity and long-term debt.

 

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s capital management plan during the period ended May 31, 2015. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed restrictions on its capital requirements.

The Company entered into Joint Development Agreements on the Matthews Lease and for the nine months ended May 31, 2015 had received payments of certain obligations under the Matthews Lease of $200,773 (August 31, 2014: $340,811 cash and payments of certain obligations).

 

For the year nine months ended May 31, 2015, the primary use of funds was related to exploration and evaluation asset expenditures incurred on the Company’s Matthews lease located in Zavala County, Texas and administrative expenses. The Company’s working capital deficiency at May 31, 2015 was $8,458,522 (August 31, 2014: $3,489,237).

 

Our current assets of $294,289 as at May 31, 2015, ($260,336 as of August 31, 2014) include the following items: cash $12,239 ($103,215 as of August 31, 2014); trade and other receivables $29,426 ($157,121 as of August 31, 2014) and marketable securities $252,624 (August 31, 2014 $Nil).

 

Our current liabilities of $8,752,811 as of May 31, 2015 ($3,749,573 as of August 31, 2014) include the following items: trade and other payables $1,864,427 ($1,483,775 as of August 31, 2014); shareholders’ loans $1,172,673 ($981,834 as of August 31, 2014); loans payable of $187,827 ($Nil as of August 31, 2014); secured convertible note $475,755 ($Nil as of August 31, 2014); derivative liabilities $5,040,566 ($1,094,392 as of August 31, 2014); deferred revenue $Nil ($177,804 as of August 31, 2014); and provisions $11,563 ($11,768 as of August 31, 2014).

If any of these common share purchase warrants were exercised it would generate additional capital for us.

 

Management of the Company recognizes that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to develop its oil and gas operations or meet its working capital requirements. The Company has liquidity risk which necessitates the Company to obtain debt financing, enter into joint venture arrangements, or raise equity. There is no assurance the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financing in a timely manner.

 

The Company’s past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been proceeds from the issuance of share capital, shareholders’ loans and cash flow from oil and gas operations. If the Company issued additional common shares from treasury it would cause the current shareholders of the Company dilution.

 

Outlook and Capital Requirements

As part of our oil and gas development program, we anticipate further expenditures to expand our existing portfolio of proved reserves. Amounts expended on future exploration and development is dependent on the nature of future opportunities evaluated by us. Any expenditure which exceeds available cash will be required to be funded by additional share capital or debt issued by us, or by other means. Our long-term profitability will depend upon our ability to successfully implement our business plan.

a)Decommissioning Obligations

The Company’s decommissioning obligations result from its ownership interests in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities. The total decommissioning obligation is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and facilities, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future years. The Company has estimated the net present value of decommissioning obligations to be $98,431 ($11,563 current and $86,868 long term) at May 31, 2015 (August 31, 2014: $11,768 current and $35,775 long term) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $112,656 (August 31, 2014: $60,629). These payments are expected to be incurred between 2015 and 2031. The discount factor, being the risk free rate related to the liability is 2.25% (August 31, 2014: 2.57%).

 

b)Other Provisions

On January 28, 2014 a vendor of Dyami Energy received a summary judgment against Dyami Energy in the amount of $169,196 plus interest at a rate of 18% per annum from September 17, 2012 until paid and legal fees of $21,178 and interest at a rate of 5% per annum from the date of judgment until paid (District Court of Zavala County, Texas Case No. 13-02-12941-ZCV). During 2013 the full amount of the provision was recorded together with legal fees and interest and transferred to trade and other payables.

 

SECURED NOTE PAYABLE AND SHAREHOLDER LOANS

 

Secured Note Payable

At August 31, 2014, the Company exchanged a secured note payable to Benchmark with a carrying value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) for a secured convertible note payable to Benchmark with a face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) (the “Note”). The Note has an interest rate of 10% and is due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default.

 

In the event that the Company closes any subsequent financing or series of financings that results in gross proceeds to the Company of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$2,000,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity of the Company, the Company shall allocate US$0.50 of every US$1.00 exceeding the US$2,000,000 raised from such financing to repay the Note. The Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and Zavala Inc. The Company may, in its sole discretion, prepay any portion of the principal amount upon seven days’ notice. Benchmark has the option at any time while the Note is outstanding to convert any unpaid principal and accrued interest into conversion units. A conversion unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the conversion unit. The price of the conversion unit is the lessor of a price equal to the 30-day VWAP of the Company as of the date of conversion, less 20% (as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or similar events) or eight United States Cents (US$0.08) per share the (“Conversion Unit”).

Accounting Considerations 

The Company has accounted for this transaction as an exchange of debt instruments. Under IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms or substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability of part thereof is accounted for as an extinguishment. Since the new debt instrument has a conversion option, the terms are considered substantially different and therefore gives rise to extinguishment accounting. Further, the Company analyzed the conversion unit under IAS 39 and determined that it meets the definition of an embedded derivative. Since both components of the Conversion Unit (the common share component and warrant component) contain a variable exercise/conversion price, the Conversion Unit meets the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. As a result, the Conversion Unit is a derivative liability that requires fair value measurement each period.

 

Based on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the old note first to the derivative component at its fair value with the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as follows:

 

   Allocation 
Promissory note (old debt instrument)  $1,322,247 
Derivative liability (conversion unit)   (4,000,100)
Loss on exchange of debt instruments   2,677,753 
   $- 

 

The Note will be accreted up to its face value of $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) over the life of Note based on an effective interest rate. For the three and nine months nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded accretion on the note in the amount of $327,793 and $475,755, respectively. The carrying value of the note as at May 31, 2015 is $475,755. For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded interest on the Note of $38,211 and $110,367.

 

Shareholder Loans

Effective August 30, 2014, the Company converted shareholders’ loans and interest due in the aggregate amount of $1,180,570 through the issuance of a total of 14,757,102 units in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.08 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one half of one (1/2) common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) common share at an exercise price of CDN$0.10 until August 30, 2017. The fair value of the units ($2,516,505) was allocated to common shares $1,715,426 and warrants $801,079 based on their relative fair values and $1,335,935 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. The original terms of the debt did not include settlement by the issuance of equity instruments (see Related Party Transactions).

 

Accounting Considerations

The Company has accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment of debt instruments for equity instruments under the guidance of IFRIC Interpretation 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments”. IFRIC 19 addresses the accounting of when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. It states that if a debtor issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of a financial liability, those equity instruments are 'consideration paid' in accordance with IAS 39.41. Accordingly, the debtor should derecognise the financial liability fully or partly. IFRIC 19 further states that the debtor recognises in profit or loss the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part) extinguished and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. As result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment in the amount of $1,335,935 in profit and loss which is the difference of the fair value of the equity instruments ($2,516,505) and the carrying value of the debt instruments ($1,180,570).

 

The warrant component was valued using a Binomial Lattice model whereas the fair value of the common share component was based on the current market value of the company’s stock. The fair value of the conversion unit ($2,516,505) was allocated to the common stock component ($1,715,426) and warrant component ($801,079) based on their relative fair values. Significant assumptions utilized in the Binomial Lattice process are as follows for the warrant component of the conversion unit as of August 30, 2014:

 

   August 30, 2014 
Market value on valuation date  $0.16 
Contractual exercise rate  $0.092 
Term (years)   5.00 Years 
Expected market volatility   196.97%
Risk free rate using zero coupon US Treasury Security rate   0.94%

 

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded a loss on derivative liabilities of $738,652 and $250,701, respectively compared to a (gain) loss on derivative liabilities of $(38,964) and $58,821 for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2014, respectively.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company has warrants issued with an exercise price in US dollars which are different from the functional currency of the Company (Canadian Dollars) and accordingly the warrants are treated as a financial liability and the fair value movement during the period is recognized in profit or loss. The Company recorded a gain on derivative warrant liabilities of $3,407 for the three months ended May 31, 2015 (May 31, 2014 gain: $38,964). For the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company recorded a loss on derivative warrant liabilities of $197,900 (May 31, 2014: $58,821).

At August 31, 2014 the Company issued a Secured Convertible Note with a face value $1,322,347 (US$1,216,175) which gave rise to a derivative financial instrument. The Note embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. Additionally these features met the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”. These terms and features consist of the Conversion Unit which is comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price equal to a 15% premium to the price of the common share acquired under the Conversion Unit (see Note 10 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Current accounting principles that are provided in IAS 32 and IAS 39 require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in profit and loss. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the common share component of the conversion unit because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving common share components. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk free rates.

 

The Company has selected Binomial Lattice to fair value the warrant component of the conversion unit because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types market participants would likely consider in transactions involving warrants. Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as follows for the common share component contained in the conversion unit as at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014:

 

   May 31, 2015   August 31, 2014 
Underlying price on valuation date*  $0.2217   $0.3090 
Contractual conversion rate  $0.07   $0.08

Equivalent market risk adjusted interest rate   10.00%   10.00%
Equivalent credit risk adjusted yield   3.62%   3.45%

 

*The underlying price of the common share component of the conversion unit is the sum of the market price on the valuation date and the fair value of the warrant component derived from the binomial lattice model.

 

Significant assumptions utilized in the Binomial Lattice process are as follows for the warrant component of the conversion unit as at May 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014:

 

   May 31, 2015   August 31,

SEASONALITY AND TREND INFORMATION

 

The Company’s oil and gas operations is not a seasonal business, but increased consumer demand or changes in supply in certain months of the year can influence the price of produced hydrocarbons, depending on the circumstances. Production from the Company’s oil and gas properties is the primary determinant for the volume of sales during the year.

 

The level of activity in the oil and gas industry is influenced by seasonal weather patterns. Wet weather and spring thaw may make the ground unstable. Consequently, municipalities and provincial transportation departments enforce road bans that restrict the movement of rigs and other heavy equipment, thereby reducing activity levels. Also, certain oil and gas properties are located in areas that are inaccessible except during the winter months because of swampy terrain and other areas are inaccessible during certain months of year due to deer hunting season. Seasonal factors and unexpected weather patterns may lead to declines in exploration and production activity and corresponding declines in the demand for the goods and services of the Company.

 

The impact on the oil and gas industry from commodity price volatility is significant. During low commodity price periods, acquisition costs drop, as do internally generated funds to spend on exploration and development activities. With decreased demand, the prices charged by the various service suppliers also decline. During periods of high prices, producers conduct active exploration programs. Increased commodity prices frequently translate into very busy periods for service suppliers triggering premium costs for their services. Purchasing land and properties similarly increase in price during these periods.

 

World oil and gas prices are quoted in United States dollars and the price received by Canadian producers is therefore effected by the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate, which will fluctuate over time. Material increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar may impact production revenues from Canadian producers. Such increases or decreases may also impact the future value of such entities' reserves as determined by independent evaluators.
