Petroteq
Energy Inc. (the “Company”) is an Ontario, Canada corporation which
conducts oil sands mining and oil extraction operations in the USA.
It operates through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary company,
Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC (“POSR”), which is engaged in
mining and oil extraction from tar sands.
The
Company’s registered office is located at Suite 6000, 1 First
Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E2,
Canada and its principal operating office is located at 15315 W.

POSR
is engaged in a tar sands mining and oil processing operation,
using a closed-loop solvent based extraction system that recovers
bitumen from surface mining, and has completed the construction of
an oil processing plant in the Asphalt Ridge area of
Utah.
In
November 2017, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary,

chain management platform for the oil and gas industry.
On
June 1, 2018, the Company finalized the acquisition of a 100%

On
January 18, 2019, the Company paid $10,800,000 for the acquisition
of 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas
leases, administered by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of
Land Management (“BLM”) covering approximately 5,960 gross acres
(2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah. The total consideration
of $10,800,000 was settled by the payment of $1,800,000 and by the
issuance of 15,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per
share.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include all of the information and
disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments),
which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of
those financial statements. The results of operations and cash
flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 may not necessarily be
indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding
quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements of Petroteq for the year
ended August 31, 2019, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
December 16, 2019.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial
assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value.
The Company's reporting currency and the functional currency of all
of its operations is the U.S. dollar, as it is the principal
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company
operates. Accordingly, all amounts referred to in the notes to the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in U.S.
dollars unless stated otherwise.
The
Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument
52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit
Standards” as adopted by the Canadian Securities
Administrators and is relying on the exemptions of Section 3.7 of
NI 52-107 and of Section 1.4(8) of the Companion Policy to National
Instrument 51-102 “Continuous Disclosure
Obligations” (“NI 51-102CP”) which permits the Company to
prepare its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for
Canadian securities law reporting purposes.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were
authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 20,
2020.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which
it has at least a majority voting interest. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The entities
included in these consolidated financial statements are as

An
associate is an entity over which the Company has significant
influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a
joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in
the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is
not control or joint control over those policies.
The
results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated
in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method, investment in associate is
carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost
as adjusted for changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of
the associate, less any impairment in the value of the investment.
Losses of an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in that
associate are not recognized. Additional losses are provided for,
and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company
has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payment on
behalf of the associate.
The
Company had accounted for its investment in Accord GR Energy, Inc.
(“Accord”) on the equity basis since March 1, 2017. The Company had
previously owned a controlling interest in Accord and the results
were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. However,
subsequent equity subscriptions into Accord reduced the Company’s
ownership to 44.7% as of March 1, 2017 and the results of Accord
were deconsolidated from that date. As of August 31, 2019, the
Company has impaired 100% of the remaining investment in Accord due
to inactivity and a lack of adequate investment in Accord to
progress to commercial production and viability.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates its
estimates, including those related to recovery of long-lived
assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience
and on other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to
these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to
the Company’s reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the
following critical accounting policies affect its more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. Significant estimates include the
following;
|
● |
the
useful lives and depreciation rates for intangible assets and
property, plant and equipment; |
|
● |
the
carrying and fair value of oil and gas properties and product and
equipment inventories; |
|
● |
the
fair value of reporting units and the related assessment of
goodwill for impairment, if applicable; |
|
● |
the
fair value of intangibles other than goodwill; |
|
● |
income
taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets |
|
● |
legal
and environmental risks and exposures; and |
|
● |
general
credit risks associated with receivables, if any. |
|
(d) |
Foreign
currency translation adjustments |
The
Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all its
operations is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the
Canadian parent company are translated to U.S. dollars using the
applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period.
Income, expenses and cash flows are translated using an average
exchange rate during the reporting period. Since the reporting
currency as well as the functional currency of all entities is the
U.S. Dollar there is no translation difference recorded.
The
Company recognizes revenue in terms of ASC 606 - Revenue from
Contracts with Customers and includes a five-step revenue
recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange
for those goods or services. The five steps are as
follows:
|
i. |
identify
the contract with a customer; |
|
ii. |
identify
the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
iii. |
determine
the transaction price; |
|
iv. |
allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract;
and |
|
v. |
recognize
revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
|
(e) |
Revenue
recognition (continued) |
Revenue from hydrocarbon sales
Revenue
from hydrocarbon sales include the sale of hydrocarbon products and
are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or
determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred
and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company’s
performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This
occurs when control is transferred to the purchaser upon delivery
of contract specified production volumes at a specified point. The
transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the
contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced, if required, upon
delivery based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment
typically received within 30 days after invoice date. Taxes
assessed by governmental authorities on hydrocarbon sales, if any,
are not included in such revenues, but are presented separately in
the consolidated comprehensive statements of loss and comprehensive
loss.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance
obligations
The
Company does not anticipate entering into long-term supply
contracts, rather it expects all contracts to be short-term in
nature with a contract term of one year or less. The Company
intends applying the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the
disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining
performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a
contract that has an original expected duration of one year or
less. For contracts with terms greater than one year, the Company
will apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the
disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining
performance obligations if there is any variable consideration to
be allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance
obligation. The Company anticipates that with respect to the
contracts it will enter into, each unit of product will typically
represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future
volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction
price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not
required.
Contract balances
The
Company does not anticipate that it will receive cash relating to
future performance obligations. However, if such cash is received,
the revenue will be deferred and recognized when all revenue
recognition criteria are met.
Disaggregation of revenue
The
Company has limited revenues to date. Disaggregation of revenue
disclosures can be found in Note 23.
Customers
The
Company anticipates that it will have a limited number of customers
which will make up the bulk of its revenues due to the nature of
the oil and gas industry.
|
(f) |
General
and administrative expenses |
General
and administrative expenses will be presented net of any working
interest owners, if any, of the oil and gas properties owned or
leased by the Company.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The
Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees
and others providing similar services. The fair value of these
stock options is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions
upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period
during which the options vest, with a corresponding increase in
equity.
The
Company may also grant equity instruments to consultants and other
parties in exchange for goods and services. Such instruments are
measured at the fair value of the goods and services received on
the date they are received and are recorded as share-based
compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity. If
the fair value of the goods and services received are not reliably
determinable, their fair value is measured by reference to the fair
value of the equity instruments granted.
The
Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at
each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to
be realized.
The
Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the
consolidated financial statements, under which a company may
recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it
is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position.
The
tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements
from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that
has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects
to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to
unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.
|
(i) |
Net
income (loss) per share |
Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.
Diluted
net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares and common share
equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an
anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are
excluded from the calculation.
Dilution
is computed by applying the treasury stock method for stock options
and share purchase warrants. Under this method, “in-the-money”
stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to be
exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of
issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase common shares at the average market price during the
period.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
|
(j) |
Cash
and cash equivalents |
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
contractual maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
The
Company had minimal sales during the period and accounts receivable
balances are minimal.
|
(l) |
Oil
and gas property and equipment |
The
Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its
oil and gas properties. Exploration costs, such as exploratory
geological and geophysical costs, and costs associated with delay
rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as
incurred. Costs of successful exploratory efforts along with
acquisition costs and the costs of development of surface mining
sites are capitalized.
Site
development costs are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending
the determination of proved reserves. If proved reserves are found,
site development costs remain capitalized as proved properties.
Costs of unsuccessful site developments are charged to exploration
expense. For site development costs that find reserves that cannot
be classified as proved when development is completed, costs
continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory site
development costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to
justify completion as a producing site and sufficient progress is
being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating
viability of the project. If management determines that future
appraisal development activities are unlikely to occur, associated
suspended exploratory development costs are expensed. In some
instances, this determination may take longer than one year. The
Company reviews the status of all suspended exploratory site
development costs quarterly.
Capitalized
costs of proved oil and gas properties are depleted by an
equivalent unit-of-production method. Proved leasehold acquisition
costs, less accumulated amortization, are depleted over total
proved reserves, which includes proved undeveloped reserves.
Capitalized costs of related equipment and facilities, including
estimated asset retirement costs, net of estimated salvage values
and less accumulated amortization are depreciated over proved
developed reserves associated with those capitalized costs.
Depletion is calculated by applying the DD&A rate (amortizable
base divided by beginning of period proved reserves) to current
period production.
Costs
associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion
calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves
can be assigned to such properties. The Company assesses its
unproved properties for impairment annually, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value
of those assets may not be recoverable.
Proved
properties will be assessed for impairment annually, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the
carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Individual
assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a common
operating location. If there is an indication the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recovered, the asset is assessed for
potential impairment by management through an established process.
If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is
less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value is
written down to estimated fair value. Because there is usually a
lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value
of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present
values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed
to be consistent with those used by principal market participants
or by comparable transactions. The expected future cash flows used
for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are
typically based on judgmental assessments of future production
volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment
plans, considering all available information at the date of
review.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
|
(l) |
Oil
and gas property and equipment (continued) |
Gains
or losses are recorded for sales or dispositions of oil and gas
properties which constitute an entire common operating field or
which result in a significant alteration of the common operating
field’s DD&A rate. These gains and losses are classified as
asset dispositions in the accompanying consolidated statements of
loss and comprehensive loss. Partial common operating field sales
or dispositions deemed not to significantly alter the DD&A
rates are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized
costs with no gain or loss recognized.
The
Company capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to
material unproved oil and gas properties and major development
projects of oil and gas properties.
|
(m) |
Other
property and equipment |
Depreciation
and amortization of other property and equipment, including
corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from
three to ten years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to
major corporate construction projects are also
capitalized.
|
(n) |
Asset
retirement obligations and environmental
liabilities |
The
Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing sites
when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of
such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial
measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a
liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement
cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and
equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions
used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a
revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and
the asset retirement cost. The Company’s asset retirement
obligations also include estimated environmental remediation costs
which arise from normal operations and are associated with the
retirement of such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is
depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that
used for the associated property and equipment.
|
(o) |
Commitments
and contingencies |
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation
or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims
resulting from allegations of improper operation of assets are
recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred
and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related
to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in
accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for property and
equipment.
|
(p) |
Fair
value measurements |
Certain
of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value
at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would
be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants. This price is
commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value measurements
are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
underlying the valuation techniques. This hierarchy consists of
three broad levels:
|
● |
Level
1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority.
When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1
inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of
fair value. |
|
● |
Level
2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable
for the asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in
markets not considered to be active. |
|
● |
Level
3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the
lowest priority. The most common Level 3 fair value measurement is
an internally developed cash flow model. |

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The

statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the

(r) |
Recent
accounting standards |
Issued accounting standards not yet adopted
The
Company will evaluate the applicability of the following issued
accounting standards and intends to adopt those which are
applicable to its activities.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic
842)
Effective
September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s standard, Leases (Topic 842), as amended. The
standard requires all leases to be recorded on the balance sheet as
a right of use asset and a lease liability. The Company intends to
use a transition method that applies the new lease standard at
September 1, 2019 and recognizes any cumulative effect adjustments
to the opening balance of fiscal year 2020 retained earnings. The
Company intends to apply a policy election to exclude short-term
leases from balance sheet recognition and also intends to elect
certain practical expedients at adoption. As permitted under these
expedients the Company will not reassess whether existing contracts
are or contain leases, the lease classification for any existing
leases, initial direct costs for any existing lease and whether
existing land easements and rights of way, that were not previously
accounted for as leases, are or contain a lease.
The
Company has certain capital leases that meet the requirements of
this ASU. These leases have historically been treated in line with
the requirements of ASU 2016-02, therefore no adjustment is
required.
The
Company will continue assessing the impact of the adoption of this
ASU on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic
740)
The
Amendments in this update reduce the complexity in accounting for
income taxes by removing certain exceptions to accounting for
income taxes and deferred taxes and simplifying the accounting
treatment of franchise taxes, a step up in the tax basis of
goodwill as part of business combinations, the allocation of
current and deferred tax to a legal entity not subject to tax in
its own financial statements, reflecting changes in tax laws or
rates in the annual effective rate in interim periods that include
the enactment date and minor codification improvements.
This
ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2020.
The
effects of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements is not
considered to be material.
The
FASB issued several updates during the period, none of these
standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption
at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on
the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

plus interest thereon of $34,950.
Beverly
Pacific Holdings
The company
advanced Beverly Pacific Holdings a net amount of $117,000 during
the year ended August 31, 2019, memorialized by a promissory note
that bears interest at 5% per annum and is repayable on August 8,
2021. During the current period, the Company advanced a further

$0.
The
mining and crushing of bituminous sands has been contracted to an
independent third party.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact this has had on the
country and the global economy, the Company has suspended
production of hydrocarbon products and does not anticipate resuming
production until oil prices return to sustainable profitable
levels.
During
the nine months ended May 31, 2020, the cost of mining, hauling and
crushing the ore, amounting to $0 (2018 - $0), was recorded as the
cost of the crushed ore inventory. The Company used approximately
5,000 yards of crushed ore during the nine months ended May 31,
2020.

ADVANCED
ROYALTY PAYMENTS |
Advance
royalty payments to Asphalt Ridge, Inc.
During
the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company acquired TMC Capital,
LLC, which has a mining and mineral lease with Asphalt Ridge, Inc.
(the “TMC Mineral Lease”) (Note 8(a)). The mining and mineral lease
with Asphalt Ridge, Inc. required the Company to make minimum
advance royalty payments which can be used to offset future
production royalties for a maximum of two years following the year
the advance royalty payment was made.
Effective
February 21, 2018, a third amendment was made to the TMC Mineral
Lease. The amended advanced royalty payments required are a minimum
of $100,000 per quarter from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020 and a
minimum of $150,000 per quarter thereafter. Royalties payable on
production range from 8% to 16% of adjusted revenues, dependent on
hydrocarbon prices.
As at
May 31, 2020, the Company has paid advance royalties of $2,370,336
(August 31, 2019 - $2,250,336) to the lease holder, of which a
total of $1,707,419 have been used to pay royalties as they have
come due under the terms of the TMC Mineral Lease. During the nine
months ended May 31, 2020, $120,000 in advance royalties were paid
and $325,112 have been used to pay royalties which have come due.
The royalties expensed have been recognized in cost of goods sold
on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and
comprehensive loss.
As at
May 31, the Company expects to record minimum royalties paid of
$424,583 from these advance royalties either against production
royalties or for the royalties due within a twelve month
period.

On
November 21, 2018, a fourth amendment was made to the mining and
mineral lease agreement whereby certain properties previously
excluded from the third amendment were included in the lease
agreement.
The
termination clause was amended to provide for:
|
(i) |
Automatic
termination if there is a lack of a written financial commitment to
fund the proposed 1,000 barrel per day production facility prior to
July 1, 2019, and another 1,000 barrel per day production facility
prior to July 1, 2020; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Termination
following cessation of operations or inadequate production due to
increased operating costs or decreased marketability if production
is not restored to 80% of capacity within six months of such
cessation; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
Termination
if the proposed 3,000 barrel per day plant fails to produce a
minimum of 80% of its rated capacity for at least 180 calendar days
during the lease year commencing July 1, 2021 plus any extension
periods; |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
The
ability of the lessee to surrender the lease with 30 days written
notice; and |
|
|
|
|
(v) |
A
remedial provision whereby upon notice by the lessor to the lessee
of a breach of any material term of the lease, the lessor will
inform the lessee in writing and the lessee will have 30 days to
cure financial breaches and 150 days to cure any other non-monetary
breaches. |
The
term of the lease was extended by the amendment, provided that a
written commitment is obtained to fund the 3,000 barrel per day
proposed plant. The Company is required to produce a minimum
average daily quantity of bitumen, crude oil and/or bitumen
products, for a minimum of 180 days during each lease year and 600
days in three consecutive lease years, of:
|
(i) |
By
July 1, 2019 plus any extension periods, 80% of 1,000 barrels per
day; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
By
July 1, 2020 plus any extension periods, 80% of 2,000 barrels per
day; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
By
July 1, 2021, plus any extension periods, 80% of 3,000 barrels per
day. |
Minimum
expenditures to be incurred on the properties are $2,000,000
beginning July 1, 2021 if a minimum daily production of 3,000
barrels per day during a 180 day period is not achieved.

MINERAL
LEASES (continued) |
|
(b) |
SITLA
Mineral Lease (Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC mineral
lease) |
On
June 1, 2018, the Company acquired mineral rights under two mineral
leases entered into between the State of Utah’s School and
Institutional Trust Land Administration (“SITLA”), as lessor, and
POSR, as lessee, covering lands in Asphalt Ridge that largely
adjoin the lands held under the TMC Mineral Lease (collectively,
the “SITLA Mineral Leases”). The SITLA Mineral Leases are valid
until May 30, 2028 and have rights for extensions based on
reasonable production. The leases remain in effect beyond the
original lease term so long as mining and sale of the tar sands are
continued and sufficient to cover operating costs of the
Company.
Advanced
royalty of $10 per acre are due annually each year the lease
remains in effect and can be applied against actual production
royalties. The advanced royalty is subject to price adjustment by
the lessor after the tenth year of the lease and then at the end of
each period of five years thereafter.
Production
royalties payable are 8% of the market price of marketable product
or products produced from the tar sands and sold under arm’s length
contract of sale. Production royalties have a minimum of $3 per
barrel of produced substance and may be increased by the lessor
after the first ten years of production at a maximum rate of 1% per
year and up to 12.5%.
On
January 18, 2019, the Company paid $10,800,000 for the acquisition
of 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas
leases, administered by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of
Land Management (“BLM”) covering approximately 5,960 gross acres
(2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah. The total consideration
of $10,800,000 was settled by a cash payment of $1,800,000 and by
the issuance of 15,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per
share, amounting to $9,000,000.
On
July 22, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the
operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases,
administered by the BLM covering approximately 5,960 gross acres
(2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah, for a total
consideration of $13,000,000 settled by the issuance of 30,000,000
shares at an issue price of $0.40 per share, amounting to
$12,000,000 and cash of $1,000,000, which has not been paid to
date.

In
June 2011, the Company commenced the development of an oil
extraction facility on its mineral lease in Maeser, Utah and
entered into construction and equipment fabrication contracts for
this purpose. On September 1, 2015, the first phase of the plant
was completed and was ready for production of hydrocarbon products
for resale to third parties. During the year ended August 31, 2017
the Company began the dismantling and relocating the oil extraction
facility to its TMC Mineral Lease facility to improve production
and logistical efficiencies while continuing its project to
increase production capacity to a minimum capacity of 1,000 barrels
per day. The plant has been relocated to the TMC mining site and
expansion of the plant to production of 1,000 barrels per day has
been substantially completed.
The
cost of construction includes capitalized borrowing costs for the
nine months ended May 31, 2020 of $0 (August 31, 2019 - $2,190,309)
and total capitalized borrowing costs as at May 31, 2020 of
$4,421,055 (August 31, 2019 - $4,421,055).
As a
result of the relocation of the plant and the planned expansion of
the plant’s production capacity to 1,000 barrels per day, and
subsequently to an additional 3,000 barrels per day, the Company
re-evaluated the depreciation policy of the oil extraction plant
and the oil extraction technologies (Note 10) and determined that
depreciation should be recorded on the basis of the expected
production of the completed plant at various capacities. No
amortization has been recorded during the nine months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019 as there has only been immaterial production
during these periods.

Oil
Extraction Technologies
During
the year ended August 31, 2012, the Company acquired a closed-loop
solvent-based oil extraction technology which facilitates the
extraction of oil from a wide range of bituminous sands and other
hydrocarbon sediments. The Company has filed patents for this
technology in the USA and Canada and has employed it in its oil
extraction plant. The Company commenced partial production from its
oil extraction plant on September 1, 2015 and was amortizing the
cost of the technology over fifteen years, the expected life of the
oil extraction plant. Since the Company has increased the capacity
of the plant to 1,000 barrels daily during 2018, and expects to
further expand the capacity to an additional 3,000 barrels daily,
it determined that a more appropriate basis for the amortization of
the technology is the units of production at the plant after
commercial production begins again. No amortization of the
technology was recorded during the nine months ended May 31, 2020
and 2019.

On
July 3, 2018, the Company received a $200,000 advance from a
private lender bearing interest at 10% per annum and repayable on
January 15, 2020. The loan is guaranteed by the Chairman of the
Board. The loan terms are currently being renegotiated. |

|
|
|
(ii) |
On
October 10, 2014, the Company issued two secured debentures for an
aggregate principal amount of CAD $1,100,000 to two private
lenders. The debentures initially bore interest at a rate of 12%
per annum, were originally scheduled to mature on October 15, 2017
and are secured by all of the assets of the Company. In addition,
the Company issued common share purchase warrants to acquire an
aggregate of 16,667 common shares of the Company. On September 22,
2016, the two secured debentures were amended to extend the
maturity date to January 31, 2017. The terms of these debentures
were renegotiated with the debenture holders to allow for the
conversion of the secured debentures into common shares of the
Company at a rate of CAD $4.50 per common share and to increase the
interest rate, starting June 1, 2016, to 15% per annum. On January
31, 2017, the two secured debentures were amended to extend the
maturity date to July 31, 2017. Additional transaction costs and
penalties incurred for the loan modifications amounted to $223,510.
On February 9, 2018, the two secured debentures were renegotiated
with the debenture holders to extend the loan to May 1, 2019. A
portion of the debenture amounting to CAD $628,585 was amended to
be convertible into common shares of the Company, of which, CAD
$365,000 were converted on May 1, 2018. The remaining convertible
portion is interest free and was to be converted from August 1,
2018 to January 1, 2019. The remaining non-convertible portion of
the debenture was to be paid off in 12 equal monthly instalments
beginning May 1, 2018, bearing interest at 5% per annum. On
September 11, 2018, the remaining convertible portion of the
debenture was converted into common shares of the Company and a
portion of the non-convertible portion of the debenture was settled
through the issue of 316,223 common shares of the Company. On
December 13, 2019, the maturity date of the non-convertible portion
of the debenture was extended to January 31, 2020 and the interest
rate was increased to 10% per annum. The terms of this loan are
currently being renegotiated. |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
On
October 4, 2018, the Company entered into a debenture line of
credit of $9,500,000 from Bay Private Equity and received an
advance of $100,000. The debenture matured on September 17, 2019
and bears interest at 10% per annum. As compensation for the
debenture line of credit the Company issued 950,000 commitment
shares to Bay Private Equity and a further 300,000 shares as a
finder’s fee to a third party. |
|
(b) |
Beverly
Pacific Holdings advanced the Company $259,910 during the period
January 8, 2020 to March 13, 2020. The note bears interest at a

LONG-TERM
DEBT (continued) |
During
April 2015, the Company entered into two equipment loan agreements
in the aggregate amount of $282,384, with financial institutions to
acquire equipment for the oil extraction facility. The loans had a
term of 60 months and bore interest at rates between 4.3% and 4.9%
per annum. Principal and interest were paid in monthly instalments.
These loans were secured by the acquired assets.
On
May 7, 2018, the Company entered into a negotiable promissory note
and security agreement with Commercial Credit Group to acquire a
crusher from Power Equipment Company for $660,959. An implied
interest rate was calculated as 12.36% based on the timing of the
initial repayment of $132,200 and subsequent 42 monthly instalments
of $15,571. The terms of the note were renegotiated during June
2020, and the instalments were amended to $16,140 per month due to
payments not being made during the pandemic. The promissory note is
secured by the crusher.

The
short-term convertible note issued to several lenders, disclosed in
note 13(m)(n)(p)(q) and (t), above have conversion rights that are
linked to the Company’s stock price, typically at a factor ranging
from 70% to 75% of an average stock price over a period ranging
from 15 to 30 days. The number of shares issuable upon conversion
of these convertible notes is therefore not determinable until
conversion takes place. In order to estimate the potential impact
of the conversion of these convertible notes, we calculate what the
expected gain or loss would amount to, based on a Black Scholes
valuation model which takes into account the following
factors:
|
● |
Historical
share price volatility; |
|
● |
Maturity
dates of the underlying securities being valued; |
|
● |
Risk
free interest rates; and |
|
● |
Expected
dividend policies of the Company. |
This
expected gain or loss gives rise to a derivative liability which is
recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of loss and
comprehensive loss with a corresponding liability recorded on the
balance sheet.
The
value of the derivative financial liabilities above was re-assessed
at May 31, 2020 and a total of $628,353 was credited to the
unaudited condensed consolidated statement of loss and
comprehensive loss. The value of the derivative liability will be
re-assessed at each financial reporting period, with any movement
thereon recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in
the period in which it is incurred.

model:

Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per
day, the Company estimated that the cost of dismantling the oil
extraction plant and related equipment would increase to $498,484.
The discount rate used in the calculation is estimated to be 2.32%
on operations that are expected to commence in September
2021.
Because
of the long-term nature of the liability, the greatest
uncertainties in estimating this provision are the costs that will
be incurred and the timing of the dismantling of the oil extraction
facility. In particular, the Company has assumed that the oil
extraction facility will be dismantled using technology and
equipment currently available and that the plant will continue to
be economically viable until the end of the lease term.
The
discount rate used in the calculation of the provision as at August
31, 2019 and 2018 is 2.0%.
In
accordance with environmental laws in the United States, the
Company’s environmental permits and the lease agreements, the
Company is required to restore contaminated and disturbed land to
its original condition before the end of the lease term, which is
expected to be in 25 years. During the year ended August 31, 2015,
the Company provided $200,000 for this purpose.
The
site restoration provision represents rehabilitation and
restoration costs related to oil extraction sites. This provision
has been created based on the Company’s internal estimates.
Significant assumptions in estimating the provision include the
technology and equipment currently available, future environmental
laws and restoration requirements, and future market prices for the
necessary restoration works required.
During
the year ended August 31, 2019, in accordance with the requirements
to provide a surety bond to the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining
in terms of the amendment to the Notice of Intent to Commence Large
Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per
day, the Company estimated that the cost of restoring the site
would increase to $2,472,013. The discount rate used in the
calculation is estimated to be 2.32% on operations that are
expected to commence in September 2021.
The
discount rate used in the calculation of the provision as at August
31, 2019 and 2018 is 2.0%.

DILUTED
LOSS PER SHARE |
The
Company’s potentially dilutive instruments are convertible
debentures and stock options and share purchase warrants.
Conversion of these instruments would have been anti-dilutive for
the periods presented and consequently, no adjustment was made to
basic loss per share to determine diluted loss per share. These
instruments could potentially dilute earnings per share in future
periods.
For

For

On
November 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with First
Bitcoin Capital Corp. (“FBCC”), a global developer of
blockchain-based applications, to design and develop a
blockchain-powered supply chain management platform for the oil and
gas industry to be marketed to oil and gas producers and operators.
On January 8, 2018, the Company paid the first instalment of
$100,000 which had been applied to operating costs incurred by
Petrobloq, LLC related to an office lease beginning March 1, 2018
and research costs related to payments to the development team
consisting of four employees. During the year ended August 31,
2019, the Company incurred a further $152,500 in costs related to
the agreement and on September 6, 2019, the Company issued 250,000
common shares, valued at $75,000 to FBCC as a final settlement of
the agreement.
Due
to the cash constraints facing First Bitcoin Capital and
management’s assessment of its future viability, the full value of
the investment was impaired at May 31, 2020.

MANAGEMENT
OF CAPITAL |
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain a
flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital.
The Company considers its capital for this purpose to be its
shareholders’ equity and long-term debt and convertible
debentures.
The
Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it
in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Company may seek additional financing or
dispose of assets.
In
order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the
Company monitors its cash flows and credit policies and prepares
expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on
various factors, including successful capital deployment and
general industry conditions. The budgets are approved by the Board
of Directors. There are no external restrictions on the Company’s
capital.
|
26. |
MANAGEMENT
OF FINANCIAL RISKS |
The
risks to which the Company’s financial instruments are exposed to
are:
Credit
risk is the risk of unexpected loss if a customer or third party to
a financial instrument fails to meet contractual obligations. The
Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash held at
financial institutions, trade receivables from customers and notes
receivable.
The
Company has cash balances at various financial institutions. The
Company has not experienced any loss on these accounts, although
balances in the accounts may exceed the insurable limits. The
Company considers credit risk from cash to be minimal.
Credit
extension, monitoring and collection are performed for each of the
Company’s business segments. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon
payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as
determined by a review of the customer’s credit
information.
Accounts
receivable, collections and payments from customers are monitored
based upon historical experience with customers, current market and
industry conditions and specific customer collection
issues.
At
May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company had $12,000 and $0 in
trade receivables, respectively and $719,733 and $845,743 in notes
receivable, respectively. The Company considers its maximum
exposure to credit risk to be its trade and other receivables and
notes receivable. The Company expects to collect these amounts in
full and has not provided an expected credit loss allowance against
these amounts.

MANAGEMENT
OF FINANCIAL RISKS (continued) |
Interest
rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will affect
the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial
instruments. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a
result of holding fixed rate investments of varying maturities as
well as through certain floating rate instruments. The Company
considers its exposure to interest rate risk to be
minimal.
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in
meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities
as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and
stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses.
The
following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial
liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and
undiscounted and include estimated interest payments. The Company
has included both the interest and principal cash flows in the
analysis as it believes this best represents the Company’s
liquidity risk.

RECONCILIATION
OF IFRS DISCLOSURE TO US GAAP DISCLOSURE
(continued) |
Share-based
compensation
The
Company granted certain directors, officers and consultants of the
Company share purchase options with vesting terms attached thereto,
25% vested immediately and a further 25%, per annum will vest on
the grant date of the share purchase options. These share purchase
options were valued using a Black Scholes valuation model utilizing
the assumptions as disclosed in note 16 above.
Under
IFRS share-based compensation paid to certain directors,
consultants and employees were amortized over the vesting period of
the option grant using a weighted average expense over the vesting
period, including the immediately vesting share purchase
options.
Under
US GAAP, the share purchase options issued to consultants were
expensed immediately and the share purchase options issued to
directors and officers were amortized as follows; (i) the value of
the twenty five percent of the options that vested immediately were
expensed immediately; (ii) the remaining value of the seventy five
percent of the options which vest equally on an annual basis are
being expensed over the vesting period on a straight line
basis.
The
difference in treatment between IFRS and US GAAP gave rise to a
reversal of expense of $248,912 and $746,736 for the three months
and nine months ended May 31, 2019, respectively. There was no
impact on the prior periods as all options issued during that
period vested immediately and were accordingly expensed
immediately.
Debt
issue costs
The
Company settled certain commitment fees and finder’s fees related
to the issue of convertible notes by the issue of common shares
valued at $1,276,980. Under IFRS, these debt issue costs were
originally expensed in the three month period ended November 30,
2018 and subsequently recorded as a prepaid commitment fee in the
nine month period ended May 31, 2019. Under IFRS this commitment
fee is not directly linked to the convertible debt and is amortized
on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.
In
terms of US GAAP, the commitment fee and finder’s fee is regarded
as directly related to the debt and is recorded as a debt discount
which is amortized over the life of the debt, including any
accelerated amortization due to repayment or early settlement of
the debt.
The
difference in treatment between IFRS and US GAAP gave rise to a
reversal of the prepaid commitment fee of $1,276,980 and the
subsequent amortization thereof of $894,587 and the raising of
additional debt discount of $1,276,980 and the amortization thereof
of $946,481. The difference between the amortization of the prepaid
commitment fee and the debt discount amortization to the statement
of loss and comprehensive loss was a credit of $43,799 and a charge
of $51,894 for the three months and nine months ended May 31, 2019,
respectively.

Events
after the reporting date not otherwise separately disclosed in
these consolidated financial statements are:
Between
June 4, and June 24, 2020, a convertible debt holder converted
$126,540 of principal into 7,471,090 shares at an average
conversion price of $0.016 per share.
Between
June 8, 2020 and June 30, 2020, a convertible debt holder converted
$43,021 of principal into 3,800,000 shares at an average conversion

On
June 19, 2020, the Company issued a convertible promissory note of
$82,500, including an original issue discount of $7,500, for net
proceeds of $72,000 after certain legal expenses. The note bears
interest at 12% per annum and matures on June 19, 2021. The note
may be prepaid subject to certain prepayment penalties ranging from
110% to 130% based on the period of prepayment. The outstanding
principal amount of the note is convertible at any time and from
time to time at the election of the holder into shares of the
Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 75% of the
average of the lowest t3,800,000 shares at an average conversion
price of $0.011 per share.
Pursuant
to an agreement entered into with a convertible debt holder, the
Company intends to amend the conversion price applicable to the
purchase price of the aggregate principal amount of convertible
debentures totalling US$780,000 from US$0.17, US$0.19 and US$0.21
to US$0.037 per share.
In
addition, the Company intends to amend the exercise price of three
warrants issued to the convertible debt holder exercisable for up
to 3,444,639 common shares of the Company from US$0.20, US$0.24 and
US$0.26 to US$0.03 per share.
The
Company has entered into executed share for debt agreements whereby
it will issue 7,782,502 shares of common stock to settle debt of
$304,309, including accrued interest thereon.

SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS |
Supplemental
unaudited information regarding the Company’s oil and gas
activities is presented in this note.
The
Company has not commenced commercial operations, therefore the
disclosure of the results of operations of hydrocarbon activities
is limited to advance royalties paid. All expenditure incurred to
date is capitalized as part of the development cost of the
company’s oil extraction plant.
The
Company does not have any proven hydrocarbon reserves or historical
data to forecast the standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows related to proven hydrocarbon reserve quantities. Upon
the commencement of production, the Company will be able to
forecast future revenues and expenses of its hydrocarbon
activities.

Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of
significant factors affecting our financial condition and results
of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be
read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and
the notes presented herein and the consolidated financial
statements and the other information set forth in our Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16,
2019. In addition to historical information, the following
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any
other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Overview and financial condition
Overview
Since
our corporate reorganization and agreement to dispose of our
interest in MCW Fuels, Inc., which was effective May 13, 2015 and
for which regulatory approval was received on June 19, 2015, we
have had one wholly-owned subsidiary, Petroteq Energy CA, LLC.
(“PCA”), which has three wholly-owned active subsidiary companies,
Petroteq Oil Sands Recovery, LLC. (“POSR”), TMC Capital LLC (“TMC”)
and Petrobloq LLC (“Petrobloq”). We are now primarily focused on
developing our oil sands extraction and processing business and
related mining interests.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary PCA, and its two subsidiaries
POSR and TMC, we are in the business of oil sands mining operations
on the TMC Mineral Lease, where we process mined oil sands ores and
sediments using our proprietary extraction technology (“the
Extraction Technology”) to produce finished crude oil and
hydrocarbon products. Our primary extraction and processing
operations are conducted at our Asphalt Ridge processing facility
located on the TMC Mineral Lease in Uintah County, Utah, which is
owned/operated by POSR. Our Asphalt Ridge processing facility uses
the Extraction Technology in the extraction, production and upgrade
of oil extracted from oil sands and was recently relocated to the
TMC Mineral Lease (near our Asphalt Ridge Mine) to improve
logistical and processing efficiencies in the oil sands recovery
process. After relocating our processing facility from the site of
its initial operation in 2015 as a pilot plant, we restarted our
oil sands mining and processing operations at the end of May 2018
and completed our expansion project to increase production to at
least 1,000 barrels of oil per day during the last quarter of
fiscal 2019. We tested the plant in the first quarter of fiscal
2020 (the quarter ended November 30, 2019) and we expected to
generate revenue from the sale of hydrocarbon products from the
third quarter ended May 31, 2020. However due to the current
COVID-19 pandemic and the impact this has had on the country and
the global economy, we have suspended production of hydrocarbon
products, and do not plan to resume production until oil prices
return to sustainable profitable levels. Even once we resume
production, we anticipate that our revenue will be limited until we
are at full production. We expect that we will require additional
capital to continue our operations and planned growth. There can be
no assurance that funding will be available if needed or that the
terms will be acceptable.
PQE owns the intellectual property rights to the Extraction
Technology, which is used at our Asphalt Ridge processing facility
to extract, upgrade and produce crude oil and hydrocarbon products
from oil sands utilizing a closed-loop solvent based extraction
system.
On July 2, 2020, subsequent to the period covered by this report,
TomCo Energy PLC (“TomCo”) announced that, following the
establishment by TomCo of a joint venture company, Greenfield
Energy LLC (“Greenfield”) with Valkor LLC (“Valkor”) on June 17,
2020, Greenfield will take over the management and operations of
our oil sands plant at Asphalt Ridge, Utah. According to TomCo’s
announcement, Greenfield is planning to make certain upgrades to
the plant and undertake tests to assess its potential
commerciality. Valkor remains party to a non-exclusive technology
licensing agreement with PQE dated July 2, 2019, as amended, in
respect of the plant.
Our
primary mineral lease, the TMC Mineral Lease, is held by TMC and
covers approximately 1,229.82 acres of land in the Asphalt Ridge
area of eastern Utah. In June 2018, we finalized the acquisition at
auction of a 100% interest in the SITLA Leases, consisting of two
oil sands mineral leases issued to POSR by the State of Utah’s
School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (SITLA),
encompassing a total of 1,311.94 acres of land that largely adjoin
our TMC Mineral Lease in the Asphalt Ridge area. In April 2019 TMC
acquired a 50% interest in the operating rights under five federal
U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”)
onshore mineral leases encompassing a total of 5,960 acres (2,980
net acres) located in eastern and south-eastern Utah.
On
July 22, 2019, we acquired the remaining 50% of the operating
rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the
BLM covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres)
within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $13,000,000
was settled by the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at an issue price
of $0.40 per share, and a cash consideration of $1,000,000, which
has not been paid to date.
Between
March 14, 2019 and May 31, 2020, we made cash deposits of
$1,907,000, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets
on the consolidated balance sheets for the acquisition of 100% of
the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases,
administered by the BLM in Garfield and Wayne Counties covering
approximately 8,480 gross acres in P.R. Springs and the Tar Sands
Triangle within the State of Utah. The total consideration of
$3,000,000 has been partially settled by the $1,907,000 cash
deposit, with the balance of $1,093,000 still
outstanding.
Results
of Operations for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and May 31,
2019
Net
Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Loss
The Company is fine tuning its processes to ensure continuous
production on its 1,000 barrel per day plant and continuing with
its expansion project to increase production capacity by an
additional 3,000 barrels per day. Revenue generation during the
quarter ended May 31, 2020 of $125,768 represents the sale of
asphalt to the State of Utah. Prior to August 31, 2019, we had only
sold test production to determine the quality of our processed
product. We commenced commercial production during the first
quarter of fiscal 2020 (the quarter ending November 30, 2019). Due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent volatility in oil prices,
the Company initially reduced operations to a single shift per day
to maintain production with the intention of storing product until
hydrocarbon prices stabilize. Recently, the Company suspended
production of hydrocarbon products completely, and does not plan to
resume production until oil prices return to sustainable profitable
levels.
The
cost of sales during the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019
consists of; i) advance royalty payments which expire at the end of
the calendar year two years after the payment has been made; and
ii) certain production related expenses consisting of labor and
maintenance expenditure. During the current period, production
related costs have been expensed as the plant expansion has been
completed and we expect to generate commercial production when the
oil markets stabilize.
Expenses
Expenses
were $848,513 and $3,687,221 for the three months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $2,838,708 or 77.0%. The
decrease in expenses is primarily due to:
Depletion, depreciation and amortization
Depletion,
depreciation and amortization was $11,522 and $21,799 for the three
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$10,277 or 47.1%. The decrease is primarily due to certain assets
becoming fully depreciated during the current period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses was $894,715 and $2,771,785 for
the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a
decrease of $1,877,070 or 67.7%. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses are the following major
expenses:
|
a. |
Professional
fees was $245,635 and $1,505,147 for the three months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $1,259,512 or 83.7%. The
decrease is primarily related to a reduction in consulting fees as
the plant and operations were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
with production temporarily halted due to the current turmoil in
oil prices. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Travel
and promotional fees was $19,142 and $256,770 for the three months
ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$236,728 or 92.5%, the decrease is due to a reduction in investor
relations and public relations expenses due to a concerted effort
to conserve cash and the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had
on the operations. |
|
|
|
|
c. |
Salaries
and wages was $215,604 and $513,529 for the three months ended May
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $297,925 or 58.0%.
The decrease is primarily due to the cessation of production at our
Utah facility which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the
resultant impact on global energy prices. |
|
|
|
|
d. |
Stock
based compensation was $229,059 and $305,413 for the three months
ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $76,354 or
25.0%, primarily due to the vesting of certain options issued in
the prior period. |
|
|
|
|
e. |
General
and administrative expenses was $68,650 and $235,926 for the three
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$167,276 or 70.9%. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses is directly related to the impact that the COVID-19
pandemic has had on the business and the ability to fund
operations, operating costs were reduced to essential expenses
only. |
Financing costs
Financing
costs was $570,628 and $893,637 for the three months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $323,009 or 36.1%.
Financing costs includes; (i) interest expense of $200,028 and
$84,490 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, an increase of $115,538, is attributable to the
increase in debt and convertible debt outstanding over the prior
fiscal period; (ii) amortization of debt discount of $368,417 and
$773,956 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, a decrease of $405,539, primarily due to the
significant debt discount incurred in the prior fiscal period on
the Bay Private Equity debt placements and the subsequent
amortization thereof; and (iii) other finance related expense of
$2,183 and $35,191 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively.
Mark to market of derivative liability
The
mark to market of the derivative liability was $(628,353) and $0
for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible
securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion
price. The charge during the current period represents the
mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of May
31, 2020, which depends on our current share price, risk free
interest rates and the volatility of our common share
price.
Net
loss from operations
Net
loss from operations was $996,158 and $4,405,815 for the three
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$3,409,657 or 77.4%. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction
in expenses, as discussed above.
Loss on settlement of liabilities
Loss
on settlement of liabilities was $0 and $80,337 for the three
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. Several trade liabilities were
settled during the prior period at a premium to current market
prices.
Loss on settlement of convertible debt
Loss
on settlement of convertible debt of $53,130 and $0 for the three
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of
$53,130. The loss is a result of convertible debt with conversion
prices at below market value being converted into equity during the
current period.
Impairment of investment
Impairment
of investment of $75,000 and $0 for the three months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $75,000. The investment
in First Bitcoin Capital was impaired during the current period as
management performed an assessment on the future viability of this
business and determined that there was insufficient resources to
support the business model.
Interest income
Interest
income was $10,311 and $35,973 for the three months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest income is currently earned on
advances made to third parties. The overall balance due to the
Company from third parties has declined over the prior period
resulting in lower interest income.
Net
loss before income tax and equity loss
Net
loss before income tax and equity loss was $1,113,977 and
$4,450,179 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, a decrease of $3,336,202 or 75.0%. The decrease is
primarily due to the reduction in expenses, as discussed
above.
Equity
loss from investment in Accord GR Energy, net of tax
Equity
loss from investment in Accord GR Energy, net of tax was $0 and
$50,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. We provided a 100% of the carrying amount of our
investment on August 31, 2019 due to the lack of activity and
adequate investment in this venture. The prior year charge
represented an estimate of our share of the ongoing operating
losses for the three months ended May 31, 2019.
Net
loss and comprehensive loss
Net
loss and comprehensive loss was $1,113,977 and $4,500,179 for the
three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease
of $3,386,202 or 75.2% as discussed above.
Results
of Operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and May 31,
2019
Net
Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Loss
The Company is fine tuning its processes to ensure continuous
production on its 1,000 barrel per day plant and continuing with
its expansion project to increase production capacity by an
additional 3,000 barrels per day. Revenue generation during the
nine months ended May 31, 2020 of $294,809 represents the sale of
hydrocarbon products to refineries of $73,541 and sales of asphalt
to the State of Utah amounting to $221,268. Prior to August 31,
2019, we had only sold test production to determine the quality of
our processed product. We commenced commercial production during
the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (the quarter ending November 30,
2019). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent volatility in
oil prices, the Company initially reduced operations to a single
shift per day to maintain production with the intention of storing
product until hydrocarbon prices stabilize. Recently, the Company
suspended production of hydrocarbon products completely, and does
not plan to resume production until oil prices return to
sustainable profitable levels.
The
cost of sales during the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019
consists of; i) advance royalty payments which expire at the end of
the calendar year two years after the payment has been made; and
ii) certain production related expenses consisting of labor and
maintenance expenditure. During the current period, production
related costs have been expensed as the plant expansion has been
completed and we expect to generate commercial production when the
oil markets stabilize.
Expenses
Expenses
were $6,510,187 and $11,930,937 for the nine months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $5,420,750 or 44.4%. The
decrease in expenses is primarily due to:
Depletion, depreciation and amortization
Depletion,
depreciation and amortization was $97,365 and $54,316 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of
$43,049 or 79.2%. The increase is primarily due to the accelerated
amortization of leasehold improvements which were incurred at
premises previously occupied by the Company, prior to relocating to
the current corporate office in Sherman Oaks,
California.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses was $4,821,820 and $9,342,642
for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a
decrease of $4,520,822 or 48.4%. Included in selling, general and
administrative expenses are the following major
expenses:
|
a. |
Professional
fees was $1,818,800 and $4,705,572 for the nine months ended May
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $2,886,772 or 61.3%.
The decrease is primarily related to legal fees incurred in the
prior fiscal period of $1,342,572 compared to $350,873 in the
current fiscal period, a decrease of $991,699 related to the
various fund raising initiatives undertaken by the Company in the
prior fiscal period. Other professional fees was $1,467,927 in the
current fiscal period and $3,363,000 in the prior fiscal period, a
decrease of $1,895,073, the decrease is due to lower consulting
expenses incurred on strategy and marketing efforts as we focused
all of our attention on increasing our production capacity and
readying the plant for commercial production. |
|
|
|
|
b. |
Travel
and promotional fees was $651,515 and $1,959,186 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a
decrease of $1,307,671, the decrease is due to a concerted effort
to conserve cash. Due to the cessation of production at the plant,
which decision was made based on the Covie-19 pandemic and the
global turmoil in energy markets as a result of the pandemic,
marketing and promotional activity was effectively curtailed to
minimum effort and travel was significantly reduced primarily due
to the pandemic. |
|
|
|
|
c. |
Salaries
and wages was $710,275 and $1,042,232 for the nine months ended May
31, 2020 and 2019, a decrease of $331,957 or 31.9%. The decrease is
due to the impact of the pandemic on the operations and the
reduction of all but essential production staff at the Utah
facility. |
|
|
|
|
d. |
Stock
based compensation was $636,275 and $916,239 for the nine months
ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, a decrease of $279,964, primarily due
to the vesting of certain options issued in the prior
period. |
|
|
|
|
e. |
General
and administrative expenses were $981,812 and $605,608 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of
$376,204 or 62.1%. The overall increase was due to an increase in
activity in the first quarter of the current fiscal year while the
plant was preparing for commercial production. This has since
reduced significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the efforts made in keeping costs under control to conserve
cash. |
Financing costs
Financing
costs was $1,559,470 and $2,533,979 for the nine months ended May
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $934,509 or 36.9%.
Financing costs includes; (i) interest expense of $491,968 and
$241,501 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, an increase of $250,467, attributable to the increase
in debt and convertible debt outstanding over the prior fiscal
period; (ii) amortization of debt discount of $1,040,789 and
$2,244,362 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, a decrease of $1,203,573, primarily due to the
significant debt discount incurred in the prior fiscal period on
the Bay Private Equity debt placements and the subsequent
amortization thereof; and (iii) other finance related expense of
$26,713 and $48,116 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively.
Mark to market of derivative liability
The
mark to market of the derivative liability was $31,532 and $0 for
the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible
securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion
price. The charge during the current period represents the
mark-to-market of the derivative liability outstanding as of May
31, 2020, which depends on our current share price, risk free
interest rates and the volatility of our common share
price.
Net
loss from operations
Net
loss from operations was $8,098,426 and $12,800,029 for the nine
months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$4,701,603 or 36.7%. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction
in selling, general and administrative expenses and the reduction
in financing costs, offset by an increase in production and
maintenance costs.
Gain (loss) on settlement of liabilities
Gain
on settlement of liabilities was $427,907 and loss on settlement of
liabilities was $(98,475) for the nine months ended May 31, 2020

liabilities were settled during the current period at a premium to
current market prices.
Gain (Loss) on settlement of convertible debt
Gain
on settlement of convertible debt of $176,732 and loss on
settlement of convertible debt of $(99,547) for the nine months
ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $276,279.
Convertible debt was settled at a premium to current market prices
during the current period.
Interest income
Interest
income was $57,900 and $94,896 for the nine months ended May 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest income is currently earned on
advances made to third parties. The overall balance due to the
Company from third parties has declined over the prior period
resulting in lower interest income.
Net
loss before income tax and equity loss
Net
loss before income tax and equity loss was $7,508,886 and
$12,903,155 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, a decrease of $5,394,269 or 41.8%. The decrease is
primarily due to the reduction in expenses, offset by the increase
in production and maintenance costs, as discussed above.
Equity
loss from investment in Accord GR Energy, net of tax
Equity
loss from investment in Accord GR Energy, net of tax was $0 and
$150,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. We provided a 100% of the carrying amount of our
investment on August 31, 2019 due to the lack of activity and
adequate investment in this venture. The prior year charge
represented an estimate of our share of the ongoing operating
losses for the nine months ended May 31, 2019.
Net
loss and comprehensive loss
Net
loss and comprehensive loss was $7,508,886 and $13,053,155 for the
nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease
of $5,544,269 or 42.5% as discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As at May 31
2020, we had cash of approximately $39,096. We also had a working
capital deficiency of approximately $12,666,896, due primarily to
accounts payable, short term debt, convertible debentures and
accrued interest thereon which remain outstanding as of May 31,
2020. During the nine months ended May 31, 2020, we raised
$2,208,374 in private placements, and a further $1,949,938 in
convertible debt, which was offset by the repayment of convertible
debt in the aggregate amount of $105,000. These funds were
primarily used on to fund the expansion of the plant, the
acquisition of mineral rights, the investment in notes receivable
and for working capital purposes.
We have
spent, and expect to continue to spend, a substantial amount of
funds in connection with implementing our business strategy and do
not have sufficient cash on hand to implement our business
strategy. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we
are a going concern. To date, we have generated minimal revenue
from operations and have financed our operations primarily through
sales of our securities, and we expect to continue to seek to
obtain our required capital in a similar manner. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to
cover our operating costs and general and administrative expense or
continue to raise funds through the sale of debt. If we raise funds
by securities convertible into common shares, the ownership
interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted.
Capital
Expenditures
We
continue to incur capital expenditure on the oil extraction plant
as we refine our processes and improve on our efficiencies. These
expenses are at times unpredictable but we do not anticipate
spending more than $2,000,000 on the existing plant.
We
also intend to construct two new oil extraction facilities and
expand the existing facility. Each facility is estimated to cost
$10,000,000 each.

We do
not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements, nor do we participate
in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting
treatment.
Inflation
The effect
of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not
significant.
Climate
Change
We believe
that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related
to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material

Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not
applicable.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the
Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is
collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are
also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15,
the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer
and the Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of
the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that due to a lack
of segregation of duties the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files
or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s
CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Subject to receipt of additional financing or
revenue generated from operations, the Company intends to retain
additional individuals to remedy the ineffective
controls.
Changes
in Internal Control
There
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act)
that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2020 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors.
The
following information updates, and should be read in conjunction
with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,”
contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16,
2019. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material
changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report Form
10-K as filed with the SEC on December 16, 2019.
We face business disruption and related risks resulting from the
recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”), which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many
countries, including the United States and Canada, have imposed
unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business
closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in
countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. The
pandemic has had a material adverse effect on our operations. We
have scaled back to a skeleton crew and we have suspended
production of hydrocarbon products, because of the effects of the
recent decline in oil pricing, we are no longer operating (in terms
of the cost to produce and sell oil, excluding G&A) on a
breakeven basis. We do not plan to resume production until oil
prices return to sustainable profitable levels.
Significant
uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole.
Government-imposed restrictions on travel and other
“social-distancing” measures such restrictions on assembly of
groups of persons, have the potential to disrupt supply chains for
parts and sales channels for our products, and may result in labor
shortages.
It is
currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last
or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to
prior levels. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation
closely, and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they
evolve.
We
expect the ultimate significance of the impact of these
disruptions, including the extent of their adverse impact on our
financial and operational results, will be dictated by the length
of time that such disruptions continue, which will, in turn, depend
on the currently unknowable duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and
the impact of governmental regulations that might be imposed in
response. Our business could also be impacted should the
disruptions from COVID-19 lead to changes in commercial behavior.
The COVID-19 impact on the capital markets could impact our cost of
borrowing. There are certain limitations on our ability to mitigate
the adverse financial impact of these items, including the fixed
costs of our operations. COVID-19 also makes it more challenging
for management to estimate future performance of our businesses,
particularly over the near to medium term.
We have suffered operating losses since inception and we may not be
able to achieve profitability.
At
May 31, 2020, August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, we had an
accumulated deficit of ($85,794,169), ($78,285,282), and
($62,497,396), respectively and we expect to continue to incur
increasing expenses in the foreseeable future as we develop our oil
extraction business. We incurred a net loss of ($7,508,886) for the
nine months ended May 31, 2020 and ($15,787,886) and ($15,641,029),
as of the years ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018,
respectively. As a result, we are sustaining substantial
operating and net losses, and it is possible that we will never be
able to sustain or develop the revenue levels necessary to attain
profitability.
Our ability
to be profitable will depend in part upon our ability to manage our
operating costs and to generate revenue from our extraction
operations. Operating costs could be impacted by inflationary
pressures on labor, volatile pricing for natural gas used as an
energy source in transportation of fuel and in oil sands processes,
and planned and unplanned maintenance.
The failure to comply with the terms of our secured notes could
result in a default under the terms of the note and, if uncured, it
could potentially result in action against the pledged
assets.
As of
May 31, 2020, we had issued and outstanding notes in the principal
amount of $1,215,257, promissory notes in the principal amount of
$353,114 and convertible notes in the principal amount of
$7,912,091 to certain private investors which have already matured
and mature up until March 30, 2024, and some are secured by a
pledge of all of our assets. If we fail to comply with the
terms of the notes, the note holder could declare a default under
the notes and if the default were to remain uncured, as secured
creditors they would have the right to proceed against the
collateral secured by the loans. Any action by secured creditors to
proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive
effect on our operations.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
At
May 31, 2020, we had not yet achieved profitable operations, had
accumulated losses of ($85,794,169) since our inception and a
working capital deficit of ($12,666,896), and expect to incur
further losses in the development of our business, all of which
casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. We have incurred net losses for the past four years. The
opinion of our independent registered accounting firm on our
audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2019
and 2018 draws attention to our notes to the financial statements,
which describes certain material uncertainties regarding our
ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future
profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to
meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. Management’s plan to
address our ability to continue as a going concern includes (1)
obtaining debt or equity funding from private placement or
institutional sources, (2) obtaining loans from financial
institutions, where possible, or (3) participating in joint venture
transactions with third parties. Although management believes that
it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow us to
remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there
can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Issuances of common shares upon exercise or conversion of
convertible securities, including pursuant to our equity incentive
plans and outstanding share purchase warrants and convertible notes
could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of
our shareholders and could cause our share price to
fall.
We
currently have share purchase warrants to purchase 50,660,474
common shares outstanding at exercise prices ranging from US$0.08
to US$1.50 and options to purchase 9,808,333 common shares with a
weighted average exercise price of CDN $1.20 and notes convertible
into 39,593,517 common shares based on conversion prices ranging
from $0.03 to $1.00 per share. The issuance of the common shares
underlying the share purchase warrants, options and convertible
notes will have a dilutive effect on the percentage ownership held
by holders of our common shares.
Our
ability to use our net operating losses and certain other tax
attributes may be limited.
As of
August 31, 2019, we had accumulated net operating losses (NOLs), of
approximately CDN $79.0 million. Varying jurisdictional tax codes
have restrictions on the use of NOLs, if a corporation undergoes an
“ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change
NOLs, R&D credits and other pre-change tax attributes to offset
its post-change income may be limited. An ownership change is
generally defined as a greater than 50% change in equity ownership.
Based upon an analysis of our equity ownership, we do not believe
that we have experienced such ownership changes and therefore our
annual utilization of our NOLs is not limited. However, should we
experience additional ownership changes, our NOL carry forwards may
be limited.
Our
dependence on debt financing – the availability of which cannot be
assured - may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting
to, changes in our business and our industry.
The
incurrence of additional indebtedness could require acceptance of
covenants that, if violated, could further restrict our operations
or lead to acceleration of the indebtedness that would necessitate
winding up or liquidation of our company. In addition to the
foregoing, our ability to obtain additional debt financing may be
limited and there can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable, or at
all.
We may
incur substantial costs in pursuing future financing, which may
adversely impact our financial condition
We may incur
substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including
investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities
law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other
costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses
in connection with certain securities we may issue, which may
adversely impact our financial condition.
We may be subject to liability for failure to comply with the
requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Through inadvertence, we did not comply with the requirements of
Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in connection with the annual
and special meeting of our shareholders held on December 13, 2019
(the Meeting”). In particular: (a) the proxy statement prepared by
our management complied with applicable Canadian proxy rules but
failed to meet the form and disclosure requirements for proxy
statements prescribed by Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act; (b)
since item 4 of the agenda for the Meeting (approval of our
Company’s advance notice by-law) and agenda item 5 (approval of a
proposed consolidation (reverse split) of our outstanding common
shares) are not among the routine matters excepted from Exchange
Act Rule 14a-6, we were required but failed to file a preliminary
copy of the proxy statement with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission at least 10 calendar days prior to the date on
which the definitive proxy statement was sent to our Company’s
shareholders, and thereby failed to give Staff at the SEC an
opportunity to review and comment on the proxy statement; and (c)
we proceeded under the Canadian “notice-and-access” rules for
electronic posting of proxy materials rather than in compliance
with Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act. In addition, we failed to
timely comply with its obligation to file a current report on Form
8-K reporting on the results of the Meeting no later than December
19, 2019 (being the fourth business day following the date of the
Meeting).
As a result of our failure to comply with Regulation 14A, the SEC
may bring an enforcement action or commence litigation against us.
If any claims or actions were to be brought against us relating to
our lack of compliance with Regulation 14A, we could be subject to
penalties, required to pay fines, make damages payments or
settlement payments. In addition, any claims or actions could force
us to expend significant financial resources to defend ourselves,
could divert the attention of our management from our core business
and could harm our reputation. However, we believe that the
potential for any claims or actions is not probable.
