CGX Energy Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (US$’s)
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

General

CGX Energy Inc. (“CGX” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of Ontario. The Company’s head office is located at 333 Bay Street, Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2R2. Its principal business activity is petroleum and natural gas exploration offshore Guyana, South America.

1.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern Uncertainty

The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating petroleum and natural gas properties in the Guyana Suriname basin in South America. The business of petroleum and natural gas exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration programs will result in profitable operations. The amounts shown as exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs and are net of any impairment charges to date; these amounts are not necessarily representative of present or future cash flows. The recoverability of the Company’s exploration and evaluation expenditures is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable petroleum and natural gas reserves; securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties; the ability to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration, development and construction of processing facilities; obtaining certain government approvals and attaining profitable production or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interest on an advantageous basis; all of which are uncertain.

The Company has a history of operating losses and as at September 30, 2018 had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $54,984,407 (December 31, 2017 - $48,529,092) and an accumulated deficit of $300,207,636 (December 31, 2017 - $295,535,712). The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional required financing through issuing additional equity or debt instruments, the sale of Company assets, or obtaining payments associated with a joint venture farm-out. As a result and given the Company’s capital commitment requirements under the Company’s Petroleum Production Licences (“PPLs”) outlined in note 9, the Company does not have sufficient cash flow to meet its operating requirements for the 12 month period from the statement of financial position date. While the Company has been successful in raising financing in the past and believes in the viability of its strategy and that the actions presently being taken provide the best opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, there can be no assurances to that effect. As a result there exist material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the licences on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such licences, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Licence title may be subject to government licensing requirements or regulations, unregistered prior agreements, unregistered claims, aboriginal claims, and non-compliance with regulatory, environmental and social requirements.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to 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 be required to 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 unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. It is not possible to predict whether the Company will be able to raise adequate financing or to ultimately attain profitable levels of operations.

Basis of Preparation


2.1

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

2.2

Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 19, 2018.

The notes herein include only significant transactions and events occurring since the Company’s last fiscal year end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required to be disclosed in the annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2018 outlined in note 2.4.

2.3

Use of management estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgements and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of exploration and evaluation expenditures, and property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), warrant liability, deferred income tax amounts, determination of cash generating units and impairment testing, functional currency and the valulation of share based payments. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are outlined below:

Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures (Note 9) and PP&E (Note 8)

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgement to determine whether it is probable that future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. The determination of reserves and resources is itself an estimation process that requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on how the resources are classified. These estimates directly impact when the Company defers exploration and evaluation expenditures. The deferral policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances; in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available.

Basis of Preparation (continued)

   
2.3

Use of management estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty (continued)

Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditures (Note 9) and PP&E (Note 8) (continued)

If, after an expenditure is capitalised or for PP&E, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure or PP&E is unlikely or if an impairment of the expenditure or PP&E has incurred, the relevant capitalised amount is written off in profit or loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

Valuation of share based payments and warrant liability

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to determine the fair value for the share based payments and warrant liability and utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the option or warrant. Discrepancies in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

Cash generating units and impairment testing

Cash generating units (“CGU’s”) are identified to be the major producing fields, the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows of other groups of assets. The determination of CGUs requires judgment in defining a group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. CGUs are determined by similar geological structure, shared infrastructure, geographical proximity, commodity type, similar exposure to market risks and materiality.

The Company prepares and reviews separate detailed budgets and forecast calculations for each of the CGUs. Impairment assessment is generally carried out separately for each CGU based on cash flow forecasts calculated based on proven reserves for each CGU (value in use).

Functional currency

The determination of the Company's functional currency requires analyzing facts that are considered primary factors, and if the result is not conclusive, the secondary factors. The analysis requires the Company to apply significant judgment since primary and secondary factors may be mixed. In determining its functional currency the Company analyzed both the primary and secondary factors, including the currency of the Company's operating costs in Canada, United States and Guyana, and sources of financing.

Income taxes

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Future accounting policies and standards adopted

Future accounting policies

At the date of authorization of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the IASB and IFRIC has issued the following new and revised Standards and Interpretations which are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and which the Company has not early adopted. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 provides revised guidance on identifying a lease and for separating lease and non- lease components of a contract. IFRS 16 introduces a single accounting model for all lessees and requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Under IFRS 16, lessor accounting for operating and finance leases will remain substantially unchanged. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

 

 

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments (“IFRIC 23”) was issued in June 2017 and clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation committee concluded that an entity shall consider whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If an entity concludes it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, then the entity shall determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses and credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If an entity concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses and credits or tax rates. IFRIC 23 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

New standards and interpretations adopted

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company applied, for the first time, certain standards and amendments that require additional disclosures in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The application of the following standards/amendments had no impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements:

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which provides guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment of financial assets, and general hedge accounting. The classification and measurement portion of the standard determines how financial assets and financial liabilities are accounted for in financial statements and, in particular, how they are measured on an ongoing basis. The amended IFRS 9 introduced a new, expected-loss impairment model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. In addition, the amended IFRS 9 includes a substantially-reformed model for hedge accounting, with enhanced disclosures about risk management activity.

Future accounting policies and standards adopted (continued)

New standards and interpretations adopted

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”), was issued in May 2014 and replaces IAS 11, “Construction Contracts,” IAS 18, “Revenue Recognition,” IFRIC 13, “Customer Loyalty Programmes,” IFRIC 15, “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate,” IFRIC 18, “Transfers of Assets from Customers,” and SIC-31, “Revenue Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.” IFRS 15 provides a single, principle- based five-step model that will apply to all contracts with customers with limited exceptions, including, but not limited to, leases within the scope of IAS 17 and financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments,” IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements.” In addition to the five-step model, the standard specifies how to account for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The standard’s requirements also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the entity’s ordinary activities.

 

 

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration (“IFRIC 22”) was issued on December 8, 2016. IFRIC 22 clarifies which date should be used for translation when a foreign currency transaction involves an advance payment or receipt.


3.

Capital management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of management to sustain future development of the business. The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and will be required to raise additional funding. 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 approach to capital management during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body, other than of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required in order to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of 6 months. As of September 30, 2018 and the date of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company may not be compliant with the policies of the TSXV. The impact of this violation is not known and is ultimately dependent on the discretion of the TSXV.

The Company considers its capital to be equity, which is comprised of share capital, reserve accounts, deficit, debentures from related party and loans from related party, which as at September 30, 2018 totaled $1,263,106 (December 31, 2017 $739,832).

Capital management (continued)

The Company invests all capital that is surplus to its immediate operational needs in short-term, liquid and highly rated financial instruments, such as cash, short-term guarantee deposits, all held with major Canadian financial institutions and Canadian or United States government treasury bills.

Management plans to secure any necessary future financing through a combination of the issuance of new equity, debt instruments or the sale of Company assets. There is no assurance, however, that these initiatives will be successful.

4.

Financial instruments

Fair value

The Company has designated its cash equivalents and marketable securities as fair value through profit and loss which are measured at fair value. Fair value of cash equivalents and marketable securities is determined based on transaction value and is categorized as a level one measurement. Trade receivables and other assets are classified for accounting purposes as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Trade and other payables and loans and debentures from related party are classified for accounting purposes as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost which also approximates fair value. Warrant liability is classified for accounting purposes as fair value through profit and loss which is measured at fair value and is categorized as a level two measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level one includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in level one.
Level three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data.

As at September 30, 2018, the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's trade receivables and other assets, trade and other payables, loans payable from related party and debentures payable from related party are approximately equivalent due to the relatively short periods to maturity and the nature of these accounts. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments.

These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

A summary of the Company's risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below:

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The credit risk is attributable to various financial instruments, as noted below. The credit risk is limited to the carrying value amount carried on the statement of financial position:

Financial instruments (continued)


i)

Credit risk (continued)


  a)

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are held mainly with major Canadian and American financial institutions in Canada and the United States and therefore the risk of loss is minimal. The Company keeps only a minimal amount of cash and cash equivalents in major Guyanese banks to pay only its current month activities.

   

 

  b)

Trade receivables and other assets The Company is exposed to credit risk attributable to customers or credits from vendors. The Company does not believe that this risk is significant. (See Note 7)

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2018 is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables and other assets.

ii)

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they become due. As at September 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $54,984,407 (December 31, 2017 - $48,529,092). In order to meet its working capital and property exploration expenditures, the Company must secure further financing to ensure that those obligations are properly discharged (See Note 1). There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from the treasury of the Company, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate financing is not available, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more exploration activities or relinquish rights to certain of its interests.

iii)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or stock market movements (price risk).

  a)

Interest rate risk

   

 

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate price risk due to the short-term nature of its monetary assets and liabilities. Cash not required in the short term is invested in short-term guaranteed investment certificates, as appropriate.

   

 

  b)

Currency risk

   

 

 

The Company's exploration and evaluation activities are substantially denominated in US dollars. The Company's funds are predominantly kept in Canadian and US dollars, with major Canadian and US financial Institutions. As at September 30, 2018, the Company had approximately C$1,000 (December 31, 2017 - C$200,000) in Canadian dollar denominated cash deposits. The Company has one significant C$ Bridge Loan from related party payable, which as at September 30, 2018 had a principal balance of C$8,682,000 (December 31, 2017 - C$8,682,000)

Sensitivity analysis

The Company's funds are mainly kept in Canadian and US dollars with major Canadian and US financial institutions. As at September 30, 2018, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency balances approximate as follows:

Account   Foreign Currency          

Exposure

 
September 30,         2018     2017  
Current assets   C $   $  100,000   $  200,000  
Trade and other payables   C $     (1,000,000 )   (200,000 )
Loans from related party   C $     (9,100,000 )   (8,600,000 )
      $  (10,000,000 ) $  (8,600,000 )

Based on management’s knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes it is reasonably possible over a one year period that a change of 10% in foreign exchange rates would increase/decrease net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 by $1,000,000 (2017 - $860,000).

6.

Cash and cash equivalents

The balance of cash and cash equivalents September 30, 2018, consisted of $1,190,511 (December 31, 2017 - $391,676) on deposit with major financial institutions and $25,000 (December 31, 2017 - $25,000) in short-term guaranteed investment certificates and fixed instruments with remaining maturities on the date of purchase of less than 90 days.

7.

Trade receivables and other assets

The Company’s trade receivables and other assets arise from harmonized sales tax (“HST”) receivable, trade receivables and prepaid expenses. These are broken down as follows:

As at,   September 30, 2018     December 31, 2017  
     Trade receivables $  -   $  3,955  
     HST   20,688     18,573  
     Prepaid expenses   102,221     24,787  
     Total trade receivables and other assets $  122,909   $  47,315  

Below is an aged analysis of the Company’s trade receivables:

As at,   September 30, 2018     December 31, 2017  
     Over 90 days $  -   $  3,955  
     Total trade receivables $  -   $  3,955  

At September 30, 2018, the Company anticipates full recovery of these amounts receivable and therefore no additional allowance has been recorded against these receivables. The credit risk on the receivables has been further discussed in Note 4(i). The Company holds no collateral for any receivable amounts outstanding as at September 30, 2018.

Notes: (1) No amortization has been recorded on these assets as they are still under construction.
  (2) Amortization has been recorded within general and administrative expense in the statement of comprehensive loss.

The lands upon which the staging facility and the logistics yard are located are subject to an industrial lease of State land with the Commissioner of Lands and Surveys in Guyana. The term of the lease is for a period of 50 years commencing in 2010 with an option to renew for an additional 50 years. This land is subject to annual rental commitments relating to this lease.

Corentyne PA, Guyana

The Company’s 100% owned subsidiary, CGX Resources Inc. (“CGX Resources”), was granted the Corentyne Petroleum Agreement ("PA") on June 24, 1998. On November 27, 2012, the Company was issued a new PA and Petroleum Prospecting Licence ("PPL") offshore Guyana. On December 15, 2017, the Company was issued an addendum to the November 27, 2012 PA ("Addendum I"). Under the terms of the Addendum I, the Company’s work commitments were modified and the Company relinquished 25% of the original contract area block.

- At the end of the second renewal period of three (3) years, the Company shall relinquish the entire Contract Area except for any Discovery Area, the area contained in any Petroleum Production Licence and any other portion of the Contract Area on which the Minister Responsible for Petroleum agrees to permit the Company to conduct further exploration activities.

If a discovery is made, CGX has the right to apply to the Minister for a Petroleum Production Licence with respect to that portion of the contract area having a significant discovery.

After commercial production begins, the Company is allowed to recover contract costs as defined in the PA from “cost oil” produced and sold from the contract area and limited in any month to an amount which equals seventy-five percent (75%) of the total production from the contract area for such month excluding any crude oil and/or natural gas used in petroleum operations or which is lost. The Company’s share of the remaining production or “profit oil” is 47%.

To the extent that in any month recoverable contract costs exceed the value of cost oil and/or cost gas, the unrecoverable amount shall be carried forward and shall be recoverable in the immediately succeeding month, and to the extent not then recovered, in the subsequent month or months.

The Company has $155,000,000 of recoverable contract costs brought forward from the original Corentyne licence. This cost can be recovered against any future commercial production.

Annual rental fees of $100,000 and training fees of $100,000 are required to be paid under the PPL.

The Company had entered into a definitive rig agreement with Japan Drilling Co., Ltd. (“JDC”) (“Drilling Agreement”), and a rig sharing agreement (the “Rig Sharing Agreement”) with JDC and Teikoku Oil (Suriname) Co., Ltd. (“INPEX”) for the shared use of JDC’s HAKURYU-12 drilling rig (the “Rig”) in 2015. This Rig was intended to be used for the first commitment well that is required under the Corentyne PPL.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company terminated these agreements.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures (continued)

Corentyne PA, Guyana (continued)

Upon termination of the Drilling Agreement, the total amount payable to JDC is approximately $20.35 million (the “JDC Payable”). Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement entered into with JDC with an effective date of November 30, 2015, the JDC Payable was to be paid as follows: (i) $5.5 million payable in common shares; (ii) $500,000 on or before December 1, 2015; (iii) approximately $7.18 million on or before March 25, 2016; and (iv) approximately $7.18 million on or before June 15, 2016. The amounts payable are included in trade and other payables as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2016, JDC was issued 16,522,500 common shares at a price of C$0.44 per share as per the terms of the definitive agreement resulting in JDC owning approximately 15% of the Company on a non-diluted basis. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company made a payment of $100,000 as part of the $500,000 payment due on December 1, 2015 with both parties agreeing to defer the remaining payment of $400,000 to March 25, 2016. Per the definitive agreement, the payments not paid in full, totaling $14.76 million, incur interest at a rate of 8% per annum.

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with JDC to settle all liabilities claimed by JDC under the JDC Payable, by proposing to pay JDC 45% of the principal amount of the funds claimed and recorded (or $6,637,537), together with interest accrued on such reduced amount in the sum of $1,266,500 (or $7,904,037 in the aggregate), in order to fully satisfy all liabilities. The completion of this transaction is conditional on the Company successfully completing a financing, which condition may be waived by the Company. The agreement between JDC and the Company will terminate if the closing of the transaction is not completed on or before March 31, 2019. The failure to complete this transaction will result in any liabilities owed to JDC remaining outstanding, and the liabilities would continue to incur interest.

Under the Rig Sharing Agreement, the Company owes approximately $2.9 million to INPEX for shared costs incurred in the utilization of the Rig. INPEX agreed to allow the Company to defer payment until December 1, 2015. This amount is included in trade and other payables as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Per the Rig Sharing Agreement, since the amount was not paid in full by December 1, 2015, amounts outstanding shall accrue interest at a rate of Libor plus 7% per annum. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, Frontera Energy Corporation (formerly Pacific Exploration and Production Corp.) (“Frontera”) in a transaction separate from the Company purchased the rights to the amounts owing to INPEX by the Company directly from INPEX.

Berbice PA, Guyana

The Company, through its 62% owned subsidiary ON Energy Inc., acquired the Berbice PA in October 2003. The Berbice PA was renewable for up to two three-year periods. Negotiations were underway for the Second Renewal period ending October 2013 to conduct an airborne geotechnical survey at a cost of less than $1,000,000.

On February 12, 2013, ON Energy Inc. entered into a new Berbice PA and PPL, which applies to the former Berbice licence and the former onshore portion of the Company’s original Corentyne Petroleum Agreement. On December 15, 2017, the Company was issued an addendum to the February 12, 2013 PA ("Addendum II"). Under the terms of the Addendum II, the Company’s work commitments were modified.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures (continued)

Demerara PA, Guyana (continued)

In September 2014, the Company entered into a contract with Prospector PTE. Ltd. (“Prospector”) to conduct a 3D seismic survey on the Company’s 100% owned Demerara Block as part of its commitments under the Demerara PA. The aggregate cost of this seismic survey was approximately $19 million with $7 million paid to Prospector by way of issuance of 15,534,310 common shares, $2.5 million paid in cash in 2014 and the remainder of approximately $9.5 million payable in cash twelve months after the conclusion of the seismic survey (December 2015), which is included in trade and other payables as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Per the contract with Prospector, the amounts outstanding twelve months after the conclusion of the seismic survey shall accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum. On October 3, 2016, the Company renegotiated the interest rate down from 12% per annum to 6% per annum and agreed to have Prospector complete the seismic processing of the seismic survey. In exchange, CGX has agreed to be responsible under certain circumstances to Prospector for up to a maximum of $500,000. The processing began in late 2016 and was substantially completed in 2017 and as a result, the Company has recorded a provision of $500,000 recorded in trade and others payables as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Company's exploration activities are subject to government laws and regulations, including tax laws and laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company believes that its operations comply in all material respects with all applicable past and present laws and regulations. The Company records provisions for any identified obligations, based on management's estimate at the time. Such estimates are, however, subject to changes in laws and regulations.

Compensation of key management personnel and related party transactions

Under IFRS, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to “control” (financially or by share capital) the other party or have significant influence (management) on the other party in making financial, commercial and operational decisions.

In October 2014, the Company entered into a secured bridge loan agreement (the “C$ Bridge Loan”) with Frontera in the aggregate principal amount of C$7,500,000 ($6,700,000). The C$ Bridge Loan was a non-revolving term facility. As at September 30, 2018, the Company has drawn upon all of the facility. The C$ Bridge Loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 5% per annum and was repayable in full, including all accrued interest, in October 2015. The Company and Frontera have agreed to extend the maturity until October 31, 2018.

The balances outstanding on the C$ Bridge Loan from related party as at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

As at,   September 30, 2018     December 31, 2017  
Loan from related party $  6,706,990   $  6,920,571  
Accrued interest on loan from related party   315,137     66,362

The following sets out the details of the Company’s related party transactions:

The Company has a cost sharing agreement among Frontera and Gran Colombia Gold Corp. effective May 1, 2013 (the “Cost Sharing Agreement”). The Cost Sharing Agreement sets out the terms and allocation of certain shared general and administrative costs, such as rent, utilities and other office administrative expenses.

In addition, the Company has significant liabilities owing to Frontera (See Notes 9 and 10).

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Frontera, whereby the Company will negotiate in good faith exclusively with Frontera in respect of completing either a restructuring transaction and/or financing transaction until December 31, 2018 (“Exclusivity Period”). If during the Exclusivity Period or during the six months following the end of the Exclusivity Period the Company enters into an alternative transaction, Frontera will be given 5 days to match any alternative transaction. In the event that Frontera does not match the alternative transaction, the Company will pay to Frontera a $5,000,000 work fee, in consideration for the substantial time, effort and expenses that Frontera has undertaken and will undertake in connection with the pursuit of a proposed transaction. As no transaction has occurred as at September 30, 2018, no amount has been recorded in these financial statements related to this contingent payment.

Segmented information

Operating Segments

At September 30, 2018, the Company’s operations comprised a single reporting operating segment engaged in petroleum and natural gas exploration in Guyana. The Company’s corporate division only earns revenues that are considered incidental to the activities of the Company and therefore does not meet the definition of an operating segment as defined in IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”.

As the operations comprise a single reporting segment, amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements also represent operating segment amounts.

Geographic Segments

The Company currently has one reportable segment as at September 30, 2018, being the exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas in Guyana.

The following is a detailed breakdown of the Company’s assets by geographical location:

As at,   September 30, 2018     December 31, 2017  
Identifiable assets            
     Canada $  1,058,615   $  486,524  
     Guyana   34,629,398     32,543,669  
  $  35,688,013   $  33,030,193  

16.

Commitments and contingencies

As at September 30, 2018, the Company is party to two (December 31, 2017 three) separate written management agreements with certain senior officers of the Company. The two contracts currently require a total payment of up to $1,170,000 (December 31, 2017 three for $1,888,000) be made upon the occurrence of certain events such as termination and change in control. As the likelihood of these events taking place was not determinable as at September 30, 2018, the contingent payments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

In January 2018, the Company agreed to make a payment under one of these three contracts. The Company agreed to the termination payment of $700,000 and settled this amount by paying $525,000 and recording a liability of $175,000 to be settled in common shares of the Company in the same manner and on the same basis as other debt is ultimately settled for equity under any restructuring.
