Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

 

1.Nature of Business and Going Concern

 

Eagleford Energy Inc. (“Eagleford” or the “Company”) was amalgamated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on November 30, 2009. The principal activities of the Company consist of exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas properties. In addition, the Company holds a 0.3% net smelter return royalty on 8 mining claim blocks located in Red Lake, Ontario which is carried on the consolidated statement of financial position at nil.

 

The company's registered office is 1 King Street West, Suite 1505, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1.

 

The Company’s common shares trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol EFRDF.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company plans to obtain additional financing by way of debt or the issuance of common shares or some other means to service its current working capital requirements, any additional or unforeseen obligations or to implement any future opportunities. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for this uncertainty.

 

The Company has accumulated significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years which raise doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumption. At May 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,340,880 (August 31, 2012: $3,819,056) and an accumulated deficit of $5,654,639 (August 31, 2012 $4,946,515). The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities for the ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The Company's ability to continue operations and fund its liabilities is dependent on its ability to secure additional financing and cash flow. During the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the Company raised net proceeds of $405,650 through the issuance of share capital (year ended August 31, 2012: $2,086,718). Management is pursuing such additional sources of financing and cash flow to fund its operations and while it has been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

2.Basis of Preparation

 

Statement of Compliance

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors on July 16, 2013.

 

Basis of Preparation

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”).

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”).

 

The accounting policies applied in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS effective for the period ended May 31, 2013, as issued and outstanding as of the date the Board of Directors approved the statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagleford, the legal parent, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1354166 Alberta Ltd. an Alberta operating company (“1354166 Alberta”) and Dyami Energy LLC a Texas limited liability company (“Dyami Energy”). All Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

3.Significant Accounting Policies

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those described in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). Accordingly, certain information and disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards have been omitted or condensed. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2012.

 

4.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All accounting standards effective for periods on or after January 1, 2011 have been adopted as part of the transition to IFRS. The following are new IFRS pronouncements that have been issued, although not yet effective and have not been early adopted, and may have an impact on the Company in the future as discussed below.

 

IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments”: Disclosures”, which requires disclosure of both gross and net information about financial instruments eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and financial instruments subject to master netting agreements. Concurrent with the amendments to IFRS 7, the IASB also amended IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” to clarify the exiting requirements for offsetting financial instruments in the statement of financial position. The amendments to IAS 32 are effective as of January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements” replaces the consolidation requirements of SIC-12 Consolidation Special Purpose Entities and IAS 27 “Consolidated Separate Financial Statements”. It introduces a new principle-based definition of control, applicable to all investees to determine the scope of consolidation. The standard provides the framework for consolidated financial statements and their preparation based on the principle of control. This new standard is effective for the Company’s Interim and Consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” which replaces IAS 31, “Interests in Joint Ventures”. IFRS 11 divides joint arrangements into two types, each having its own accounting model. A “joint operation” continues to be accounted for using proportionate consolidation, whereas a “joint venture” must be accounted for using equity accounting. This differs from IAS 31, where there was the choice to use proportionate consolidation or equity accounting for joint ventures. A “joint operation” is defined as the joint operators having rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In a “joint venture”, the joint ventures partners have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, typically through their investment in a separate joint venture entity. This new standard is effective for the Company’s Interim and Consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” is a new standard, which combines all of the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, as well as unconsolidated structured entities. This new standard is effective for the Company’s Interim and Consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” replaces the fair value guidance contained in individual IFRS with a single source of fair value measurement guidance. The standard also requires disclosures which enable users to assess the methods and inputs used to develop fair value measurements. This new standard is effective for the Company’s Interim and Consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRIC 20 (an update provided by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”)) provides guidance on the accounting for the costs of stripping activity in the production phase of surface mining when two benefits accrue to the entity from the stripping activity: usable ore that can be used to produce inventory and improved access to further quantities of material that will be mined in future periods. IFRIC 20 is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and early application is permitted. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

 

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” was amended by the IASB in September 2011 in order to align the presentation of items in comprehensive income with US GAAAP standards. Items in other comprehensive income will be required to be presented in two categories: items that will be reclassified into profit or loss and those that will not be reclassified. The flexibility to present a statement of comprehensive income remains unchanged. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. This new standard is effective for the Company’s Interim and Consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company does not expect to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements”. In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”). This amendment removes the requirements for consolidated statements from IAS 27, and moves it over to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. The amendment mandates that when a company prepares separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities are to be accounted for using either the cost method or in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. In addition, this amendment determines the treatment for recognizing dividends, the treatment of certain group reorganizations, and some disclosure requirements. This amendment is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”. In May 2011, the IASB amended IAS 28, investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”). This amendment requires any retained portion of an investment in an associate or joint venture that has not been classified as held for sale to be measured using the equity method until disposal. After disposal, if the retained interest continues to be an associate or joint venture, the amendment requires for it to be continued to be accounted for under the equity method. The amendment also disallows the re measurement of any retained interest in an investment upon the cessation of significant influence or joint control. This amended standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2013. The Company is assessing the impact of this amended standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. In October 2010, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”). IFRS 9, which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, establishes principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing September 1, 2015. The Company is assessing the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

5.Segmented Information

The Company’s exploration and evaluation assets are located in Texas, USA. As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 no impairment loss was recorded. For the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the Company capitalized interest of $184,109 to exploration and evaluation assets (Year ended August 31, 2012: $289,650).

 

Dyami Energy holds a 75% working interest before payout and a 61.50% working interest after payout of production revenue of $12.5 million and Eagleford holds a 10% working interest before payout and a 7.5% working interest after payout of production revenue of $15 million in a mineral lease comprising approximately 2,629 gross acres of land in Zavala County, Texas. The royalties payable under the Matthews lease are 25%.

 

The Matthews Oil and Gas Lease had a primary term of three years commencing April 1, 2008, unless commercial production is established from a well or lands pooled therewith or the lessee is then engaged in actual drilling or reworking on any well within 90 days thereafter. The lease shall remain in force so long as the drilling or reworking is processed without cessation of more than 90 days. Once production is established, the lease is held by production so long as a new well is commenced within 180 days of completion of the prior well, which is defined as 15 days following reaching total depth in a well or the total length of a horizontal well.

 

Matthews Lease Litigation

The lessor of the Matthews lease expressed their belief that the lease has terminated and filed a petition in the District Court, Zavala County, Texas, seeking a declaration that the lease has terminated. The Company disagrees and believes that it is in full compliance with the terms of the lease. The Company is defending the allegation and countersuing the lessor for repudiation of the lease and seeking damages.

 

The Company elected to conduct the continuous drilling program provision of the lease in order to extend the term of the lease beyond its primary term. The Company commenced actual drilling operations on a well, within the 180 day time period allowed and defined in the amended lease in every such period since the end of the primary term.

 

In March 2012, the Company notified the lessor of its intention to continue drilling the No. 2-H well initiated in October 2011 and suspended, and to drill a new well, the 4-H under the continuous-drilling program.

 

Upon receipt of this notice, and before the 180-day deadline to commence actual drilling operations expired, the lessor informed the Company that it was taking the position that the lease had terminated because the Company allegedly failed to drill the No. 2-H well in a good faith attempt to secure production, and thus failed to comply with the continuous drilling program. The lessor later added that the Company was 2 days late having a drill bit contact the surface of the earth and turn to the right. Based on the Company’s extensive logging, coring, and laboratory work and analysis, the Company was highly confident that these wells would produce in commercial quantities, which would have benefitted the lessor and the other royalty owner, and would have allowed the Company to begin to recoup its investment in the lease. Extended development drilling would have followed. Accordingly the Company is seeking specific performance or damages from the lessors.

As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, no amounts of contingent loss due to the impairment of the above mentioned lease have been recorded in these consolidated financial statements. According to the Company's legal counsel, there are no dispositive motions pending, a trial date has not been set and in their opinion it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss.

 

At May 31 2013 the Company carries its investment in the Matthews lease at approximately $4,885,262 (August 31, 2012: $4,645,534). If the final outcome of such claim differs adversely from that expected, it would result in an impairment loss equal to the carrying value of the Matthews lease, when determined.

 

Murphy Lease, Zavala County, Texas, USA

Dyami Energy holds a 100% working interest in a mineral lease comprising approximately 2,637 acres of land in Zavala County, Texas (the “Murphy Lease”) subject to a 10% carried interest on the drilling costs from surface to base of the Austin Chalk formation, and a 3% carried interest on the drilling costs from the top of the Eagle Ford shale formation to basement on the first well drilled into a serpentine plug and for the first well drilled into a second serpentine plug, if discovered. Thereafter Dyami Energy’s working interests range from 90% to 97%. The royalties payable under the Murphy Lease are 25%.

 

Dyami Energy is required to drill a well every six months in order to maintain the Murphy Lease. In the event that after the Primary Term as extended by operations no production is obtained or the value of the royalty received by the Lessor does not equal as much as the product of the total number of net mineral acres times $25.0 per net acre Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the difference between such product and the value of the royalty received and $25.0 per net mineral acre at the end of such lease year (“Minimum Royalties”).  Payment of Minimum Royalties shall not extend the Lease for more than 2 years in the aggregate. Three years after the cessation of continuous drilling, all rights below the deepest producing horizon in each unit then being held by production, shall be released and re-assigned to the Lessor, unless the drilling of another well has been proposed on said unit, approved in writing by Lessor, and timely commenced.

a)Decommissioning Obligations

The Company’s decommissioning obligations result from its ownership interests in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities. The total decommissioning obligation is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and facilities, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future years. The Company has estimated the net present value of decommissioning obligations to be $116,360 at May 31, 2013 (August 31, 2012: $114,755) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $163,635 (August 31, 2012: $158,974). These payments are expected to be incurred between fiscal 2022 and 2031. The discount factor, being the risk free rate related to the liability is 2.65% (August 31, 2012: 2.37%).

 

b)Other Provisions

In February 2013, a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas (Case No. 13-02-12941-ZCV) seeking payment of US$169,196 for services. Dyami Energy is disputing the amount on the basis of negligence by the vendor. The Company intends on filing a counter claim. The full amount of the provision has been recorded and any legal costs will be expensed as incurred. The outcome of this claim is uncertain at this time.

 

The above amounts have been classified as long term, however not discounted as the impact to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

 

In May 2012 a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Harris County, Texas seeking payment of US$64,866. Dyami Energy is disputing the amount charged due to faulty equipment. The full amount of the provision which was accrued in the prior period has been reversed in the current period as the vendor is no longer in good standing as a Texas corporation and the vendor’s attorney filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas a motion to withdraw as counsel.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2011-74035/Court: 113) seeking payment of US$62,800. Dyami Energy was disputing the claim on the basis of excessive charges. In May 2013 the claim was settled and the Company agreed to pay US$45,500. The agreed settlement amount was transferred to trade and other payables and the balance of US$17,300 recorded as a recovery of professional fees on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Expected volatility   192%-199% 
Expected life (years)   3 
Dividend yield   - 

 

14.         Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

Credit Risk

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

 

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

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2013 and 2012

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

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

 

   May 31, 2013   August 31, 2012 
Cash and cash equivalents  $388,661   $330,003 
Trade and other receivables   45,307    17,525 
Balance  $433,968   $347,528 

 

Liquidity Risk

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

Market Risk

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company mitigates these risks by (i) utilizing competent, professional consultants as support to company staff; (ii) performing geophysical, geological or engineering analyses of prospects; and (iii) focusing on a limited number of core properties.

(Expressed In Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

(i)          Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.

 

The Company believes that movement in commodity prices that are reasonably possible over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

 

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company’s risk management position for the period ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 to fluctuations in natural gas prices, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential impact of these price changes, the Company believes that 10 percent volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in natural gas prices potentially could have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting net income as follows:

 

   May 31, 2013   May 31, 2012 
   Increase 10%   Decrease 10%   Increase 10%   Decrease 10% 
Net revenue  $33,642   $26,140   $36,801   $30,109 
Net loss  $704,373   $711,875   $2,451,036   $2,457,728 

 

(ii)         Currency Risk

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

 

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

 

The following assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars at May 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

Financial Instruments  May 31, 2013   May 31, 2012 
Cash and cash equivalents  $331,343   $136,986

(iii)        Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The majority of the Company’s debt is short-term in nature with fixed rates.

 

Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes that the movements in interest rates that are reasonably possible over the next twelve month period will not have a significant impact on the Company.

 

(iv) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments included on the consolidated statement of financial position as at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative warrant liabilities, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, secured note payable, shareholders’ loans, and provisions .

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

   May 31, 2013   August 31, 2012 
Financial Instrument Classification  Carrying Value $   Fair Value $   Carrying Value $   Fair Value $ 
Fair value through profit or loss:                    
Cash and cash equivalents   388,661    388,661    330,003    330,003 
Marketable securities   1    1    1    1 
Derivative warrant liabilities   1,969,714    1,969,714    1,640,406    1,640,406 
Loans and receivables:                    
Trade and other receivables   45,307    45,307    17,525    17,525 
Other financial liabilities:                    
Trade and other  payables   1,512,861    1,512,861    1,039,959    1,039,959 
Secured notes payable   992,544    992,544    946,848    946,848 
Shareholders’ loans   2,269,444    2,269,444    2,179,778    2,179,778 
Provisions   291,292    291,292    240,672    240,672 

 

Cash and cash equivalents, derivative warrant liabilities and marketable securities are stated at fair value (Level 1 measurement). The carrying value of trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, secured notes payable and shareholders’ loans approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments (Level 3 measurement).

 

Capital Management

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

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations. Current plans for the development commitments of the Company’s Texas leases include debt or equity financing or seeking and obtaining a joint venture partner.

The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management and favourable market conditions to sustain future development of the business.

 

As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 the Company considered its capital structure to comprise of shareholders equity and long-term debt.

There were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended May 31, 2013.

 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed restrictions on its capital requirements.

16.         Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has drilling commitments on its Leases located in Zavala County, Texas, USA (see Note 7).

 

Matthews Lease Litigation

The lessors of the Matthews lease expressed their belief that the Lease has terminated and filed a petition in the District Court, Zavala County, Texas, seeking a declaration that the lease has terminated. The Company disagrees and believes that it is in full compliance with the terms of the lease. The Company is defending the allegation and countersuing the lessor for repudiation of the lease and seeking damages (see Note 7).

 

As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, no amounts of contingent loss due to the impairment of the above mentioned lease have been recorded in these consolidated financial statements. According to the Company's legal counsel, there are no dispositive motions pending, a trial date has not been set and in their opinion it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss.

 

At May 31, 2013 the Company carries its investment in the Matthews lease at approximately $4,885,462 (August 31, 2012: $4,645,534). If the final outcome of such claim differs adversely from that expected, it would result in an impairment loss equal to the carrying value of the Matthews lease, when determined.

 

Other Provisions

The Company has provided for contingencies that are currently in dispute (see Note 9).

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

 

Revenue, net of royalties for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 was down $3,564 to $29,891 compared to $33,455 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease in net revenue during 2013 is primarily attributed to declines in production volume from the Company’s Botha, Alberta property. Net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 was $708,124 compared to a net loss of $2,454,382 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease in net loss during 2013 was primarily related to a decrease of $1,465,465 to Nil in loss on settlement of debt compared to $1,465,465 in 2012, a decrease in foreign exchange loss of $58,091 to $134,378 compared to $192,469 in 2012 and a decrease in operating costs of $51,987 to $7,761 compared to $59,748 in the prior period in 2012. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $30,075 in general and administrative costs to $419,868 compared to $389,793 in the prior period in 2012.

 

During the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the Company completed financings through the issuance of 2,249,790 units in the capital of the Company for net proceeds of $405,650.

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

Capital Management

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

 

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of any underlying assets in order to meet current and upcoming obligations. Current plans for the development commitments of the Company’s Texas leases include debt or equity financing or seeking and obtaining a joint venture partner.

 

The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management and favourable market conditions to sustain future development of the business.

 

As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 the Company considered its capital structure to comprise of shareholders equity and long-term debt.

 

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s capital management during the period ended May 31, 2013.

 

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed restrictions on its capital requirements.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2013, the Company recorded additions to exploration and evaluation assets of $350,039 (May 31, 2012: $491,088).

 

The Company expects that its capital expenditures will increase in future reporting periods as the Company incurs costs to explore and develop its oil and gas properties.

 

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

During the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the Company completed financings through the issuance of 2,249,790 units in the capital of the Company for net proceeds of $405,650.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash as of May 31, 2013 was $388,661 compared to cash of $330,003 at August 31, 2012. During the nine months ended February 28, 2013 the Company raised net proceeds of $405,650 through the issuance of share capital.

 

For the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the primary use of funds was related to additions to exploration and evaluation assets and administrative expenses. The Company’s working capital deficiency at May 31, 2013 was $4,340,880 compared to a working capital deficiency of $3,819,056 at August 31, 2012.

 

Our current assets of $433,969 as at May 31, 2013 ($347,529 as of August 31, 2012) include the following items: cash $388,661 ($330,003 as of August 31, 2012); marketable securities $1 ($1 as of August 31, 2012); and trade and other receivables $45,307 ($17,525 as of August 31, 20012).

 

Our current liabilities of $4,774,849 as of May 31, 2013 ($4,166,585 as of August 31, 2012) include the following items: trade and other payables $1,512,861 ($1,039,959 as of August 31, 2012); shareholders’ loans $2,269,444 ($2,179,778 as of August 31, 2012); and secured note payable $992,544 ($946,848 as of August 31, 2012).

 

At May 31, 2013 the Company had outstanding the following common share purchase warrants: 21,050,948 warrants exercisable at $0.04 per share; 19,150,000 warrants exercisable at $0.05 per share; 8,121,627 warrants exercisable at US$0.50 per share; and 1,025,983 warrants exercisable at US$0.25. If any of these common share purchase warrants are exercised it would generate additional capital for us.

 

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

 

The Company’s past primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been proceeds from the issuance of share capital, shareholders’ loans and cash flow from oil and gas operations.

 

If the Company issued additional common shares from treasury it would cause the current shareholders of the Company dilution.

 

Outlook and Capital Requirements 

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

a)Decommissioning Obligations

The Company’s decommissioning obligations result from its ownership interests in petroleum and natural gas assets including well sites, gathering systems and processing facilities. The total decommissioning obligation is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and facilities, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future years. The Company has estimated the net present value of decommissioning obligations to be $116,360 at May 31, 2013 (August 31, 2012: $114,755) based on an undiscounted total future liability of $163,635 (August 31, 2012: $158,974). These payments are expected to be incurred between fiscal 2022 and 2031. The discount factor, being the risk free rate related to the liability is 2.65% (August 31, 2012: 2.37%).

 

b)Other Provisions

In February 2013, a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas (Case No. 13-02-12941-ZCV) seeking payment of US$169,196 for services. Dyami Energy is disputing the amount on the basis of negligence by the vendor. The Company intends on filing a counter claim. The full amount of the provision has been recorded and any legal costs will be expensed as incurred. The outcome of this claim is uncertain at this time.

 

The above amounts have been classified as long term, however not discounted as the impact to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

 

In May 2012 a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Harris County, Texas seeking payment of US$64,866. Dyami Energy is disputing the amount charged due to faulty equipment. The full amount of the provision which was accrued in the prior period has been reversed in the current period as the vendor is no longer in good standing as a Texas corporation and the vendor’s attorney filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas a motion to withdraw as counsel.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2011-74035/Court: 113) seeking payment of US$62,800. Dyami Energy was disputing the claim on the basis of excessive charges. In May 2013 the claim was settled and the Company agreed to pay US$45,500. The agreed settlement amount was transferred to trade and other payables and the balance of US$17,300 recorded as a recovery of professional fees on the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

LITIGATION

 

Matthews Lease Litigation

The lessor of the Matthews lease expressed their belief that the lease has terminated and on April 30, 2012 filed a petition in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas, seeking a declaration that the Lease has terminated (Case No. 12-04-12751-ZCV). The Company disagrees and believes that it is in full compliance with the terms of the lease. The Company is defending the allegation and countersuing the lessor for repudiation of the lease and seeking damages.

 

The Company elected to conduct the continuous drilling program provision of the lease in order to extend the term of the lease beyond its primary term. The Company commenced actual drilling operations on a well, within the 180 day time period allowed and defined in the amended lease every such period since the end of the primary term.

 

In March 2012, the Company notified the lessor of its intention to continue drilling the No. 2-H well initiated in October 2011 and suspended, and to drill a new well, the 4-H under the continuous-drilling program.

 

10
 

 

Upon receipt of this notice, and before the 180-day deadline to commence actual drilling operations expired, the lessor informed the Company that it was taking the position that the lease had terminated because the Company allegedly failed to drill the No. 2-H well in a good faith attempt to secure production, and thus failed to comply with the continuous drilling program. The lessor later added that the Company was 2 days late having a drill bit contact the surface of the earth and turn to the right. Based on the Company’s extensive logging, coring, and laboratory work and analysis, the Company was highly confident that these wells would produce in commercial quantities, which would have benefitted the lessor and the other royalty owner, and would have allowed the Company to begin to recoup its investment in the lease. Extended development drilling would have followed. Accordingly the Company is seeking specific performance or damages from the lessors.

 

As at May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, no amounts of contingent loss due to the impairment of the above mentioned lease have been recorded in these consolidated financial statements. According to the Company's legal counsel, there are no dispositive motions pending, a trial date has not been set and in their opinion it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss.

 

At May 31, 2013 the Company carries its investment in the Matthews lease at approximately $4,885,262 (August 31, 2012: $4,645,534). If the final outcome of such claim differs adversely from that expected, it would result in an impairment loss equal to the carrying value of the Matthews lease, when determined.

 

The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the carrying value of the Company’s Matthews lease as at and for the period ended May 31, 2013. When assessing the potential impact of a negative result, the Company believes that the carrying value is a reasonable measure. A negative result could impact the Company’s net loss, as follows:

 

Sensitivity Analysis of the Carrying value of the Matthews Lease  Effect on Net Loss 
Net loss at May 31, 2013  $708,124 
Impairment loss on Matthews lease  $4,885,262 
Net loss after impairment  $5,593,386 

 

Other Provisions

In February 2013, a vendor of Dyami Energy filed a claim in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas (Case No. 13-02-12941-ZCV) seeking payment of US$169,196 for services. Dyami Energy is disputing the amount on the basis of negligence by the vendor. The Company intends on filing a counter claim. The full amount of the provision has been recorded and any legal costs will be expensed as incurred. The outcome of this claim is uncertain at this time.

 

SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

 

At May 31, 2013, the Company had a US$960,000, 10% per annum secured promissory note payable to Benchmark Enterprises LLC (August 31, 2012: US$960,000). The note and all unpaid and accrued interest is due on or before August 31, 2013, or within 15 days of written demand to the Company, or upon the Company closing a cash financing or series of cash financings in excess of US$2,500,000 in which case fifty cents of every one dollar exceeding US$2,500,000 will be allocated to the secured note until paid in full. For the nine months ended May 31, 2013 the Company recorded interest of $72,623 (May 31, 2012: $60,081). At May 31, 2013 included in trade and other payables is interest of $140,588 (August 31, 2012: $63,296). The note is secured by Dyami Energy’s interest in the Matthews and Murphy Leases, Zavala County, Texas. The Company may, in its sole discretion, prepay any portion of the principal amount.

 

DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES

 

The Company has warrants issued with an exercise price in US dollars which are different from the functional currency of the Company (Canadian Dollars) and accordingly the warrants are treated as a financial liability and the fair value movement during the period is recognized in profit or loss. The Company recorded loss on derivative warrant liabilities of $89,666 during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 (May 31, 2012: $93,259). For the three months ended May 31, 2013 the Company recorded a loss of $10,288 (May 31, 2012: $21,311).

 

On September 25, 2012 the Company issued 1,124,895 common share purchase warrants exercisable at US$0.50 and 179,983 common share purchase broker warrants exercisable at US$0.25 expiring September 25, 2015. The fair value measured using the Black Scholes valuation model was $182,830 and $56,812, respectively.

SEASONALITY AND TREND INFORMATION

 

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

 

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

 

12
 

 

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

 

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