NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
(Unaudited - Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
TransGlobe Energy Corporation is a publicly listed company incorporated in Alberta, Canada and its shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and NASDAQ Exchange (“NASDAQ”). The address of its registered office is 2300, 250 – 5th Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 0R4. TransGlobe Energy Corporation together with its subsidiaries (“TransGlobe” or the “Company”) is engaged primarily in oil exploration, development and production and the acquisition of properties.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) effective as of September 30, 2014. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not contain all the disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2014.
Basis of measurement
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were the same as those used in the preparation of the most recent Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, except for the new accounting policies described in Note 3.
The Company prepared these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures that have been measured at fair value.
Functional and presentation currency
In these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are presented and expressed in United States (U.S.) dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All references to $ are to United States dollars and references to C$ are to Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 10 (revised) "Consolidated Financial Statements"
In October 2012, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 10 to define investment entities, provide an exception to the consolidation of investment entities by a parent company, and prescribe fair value measurement to measure such entities. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014; accordingly, the Company adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
IFRS 12 (revised) "Disclosure of interests in other entities"
In October 2012, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 12 to prescribe disclosures about significant judgments and assumptions used to determine whether an entity is an investment entity as well as other disclosures regarding the measurement of such entities. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014; accordingly, the Company adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
IAS 32 (revised) “Financial Instruments: Presentation”
In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32 to address inconsistencies when applying the offsetting criteria. These amendments clarify some of the criteria required to be met in order to permit the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014; accordingly, the Company has adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
IFRIC 21 (new) "Levies"
In May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21, "Levies", which was developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. The interpretation also clarifies that no liability should be recognized before the specified minimum threshold to trigger that levy is reached. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014; accordingly, the Company has adopted this standard for the year ending December 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as assets at fair value through profit or loss and its convertible debentures as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are both measured at fair value with changes being recognized through earnings. Accounts receivable and restricted cash are classified as loans and receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt are classified as other liabilities, all of which are measured initially at fair value, then at amortized cost after initial recognition.
Carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

Assets and liabilities at September 30, 2014 that are measured at fair value are classified into levels reflecting the method used to make the measurements. Fair values of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 2 include valuations using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures are assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above. TransGlobe’s cash and cash equivalents and convertible debentures are classified as Level 1. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy in the period.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if the counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily relates to cash equivalents and accounts receivable, the majority of which are in respect of oil operations. The Company generally extends unsecured credit to these parties and therefore the collection of these amounts may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company has not experienced any material credit losses in the collection of accounts receivable to date.
Trade and other receivables are analyzed in the table below. The majority of these receivables are due from the Egyptian Government. The political transition and resultant economic malaise in the country that began in 2011 combined with the Company's increased production during this period have resulted in irregular collection of accounts receivable from the Egyptian Government and generally a larger receivable balance, which has increased TransGlobe's credit risk. Despite these factors, the Company still expects to collect in full all outstanding receivables.

In Egypt, the Company sold all of its 2014 and 2013 production to one purchaser. In Yemen, the Company sold all of its 2014 Block 32 production to one purchaser, and all of its 2013 Block 32 production to another purchaser. Block S-1 production was sold to one purchaser in 2014 and 2013. Management considers such transactions normal for the Company and the international oil industry in which it operates.
The Company manages its credit risk on cash equivalents by investing only in term deposits with reputable Canadian and international banking institutions.

12. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortized cost. As at September 30, 2014, the only significant interest-bearing loans and borrowings related to the Borrowing Base Facility, under which the Company has borrowing capacity of $100.0 million. The Borrowing Base Facility has a term that extends to December 31, 2017, and is secured by a pledge over certain bank accounts, a pledge over the Company’s subsidiaries and a fixed and floating charge over certain assets. The credit facility bears interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 5.0% to 5.5% and is dependent on the amount drawn. The Company incurs standby interest charges on amounts available but not drawn under the Borrowing Base Facility, which significantly impacts the effective interest rate in periods when there are small or no borrowings under the facility. The unutilized portion of the facility bears interest at 50% of the applicable margin. The amount of the Borrowing Base may fluctuate over time and is determined principally by the net present value of the Company’s Proved and Probable reserves over the term of the Borrowing Base Facility, up to a pre-defined commitment amount which is subject to pre-determined semi-annual reductions in accordance with the terms of the Borrowing Base Facility. Accordingly, for each balance sheet date, the timing of repayment is estimated based on the most recent redetermination of the Borrowing Base and repayment schedules may change in future periods.
Deferred financing costs related to the Borrowing Base Facility have been presented as an asset on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets as at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 since there were no amounts drawn on the Borrowing Base Facility as at these dates. Deferred financing costs are amortized based on the borrowing capacity available in the Borrowing Base Facility.

In February 2012, the Company sold, on a bought-deal basis, C$97.8 million ($97.9 million) aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a maturity date of March 31, 2017. The debentures are convertible at any time and from time to time into common shares of the Company at a price of C$14.67 per common share. The debentures are not redeemable by the Company on or before March 31, 2015 other than in limited circumstances in connection with a change of control of TransGlobe. After March 31, 2015 and prior to March 31, 2017, the debentures may be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the weighted-average trading price of the common shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is provided is not less than 125 percent of the conversion price (or C$18.34 per common share). The conversion price of the convertible debentures will adjust for any amounts paid out as dividends on the common shares of the Company, provided that the dividend payment causes the conversion price to change by 1% or more. Interest of 6% is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30. At maturity or redemption, the Company has the option to settle all or any portion of principal obligations by delivering to the debenture holders sufficient common shares to satisfy these obligations.
The convertible debentures are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, and as such are measured at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Fair value is determined based on market price quotes from the exchange on which the convertible debentures are traded as at the period end date. As at September 30, 2014 the convertible debentures were trading at a price of C$95.43 for a C$100.00 par value debenture. As a result, the Company has recognized a net expense of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

16. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Stock option plan
The Company operates a stock option plan to provide equity-settled share-based remuneration to directors, officers and employees. The number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options awarded under the stock option plan and all other Security Based Compensation Arrangements of the Company is 10% of the common shares outstanding from time to time. All incentive stock options granted under the Plan have a per-share exercise price equal to the weighted average trading price of the common shares for the five trading days prior to the date of grant. Each tranche of an award with different vesting dates is considered a separate grant for the calculation of fair value and the resulting fair value is amortized over the vesting period of the respective tranches.

Compensation expense of $2.9 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 (2013 - $4.2 million) in respect of equity-settled share-based payment transactions. The fair value of all common stock options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the lattice-based trinomial option pricing model.
All options granted vest annually over a three-year period and expire five years after the grant date. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, employees exercised 619,000 (2013 – 178,000) stock options. The fair value related to these options was $0.8 million, (2013 - $0.3 million) at time of grant and has been transferred from contributed surplus to share capital. As at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the entire balance in contributed surplus was related to previously recognized share-based compensation expense on equity-settled stock options.
Restricted share unit, performance share unit and deferred share unit plans
In May 2014, the Company implemented a restricted share unit ("RSU") plan, a performance share unit ("PSU") plan and a deferred share unit ("DSU") plan. RSUs may be issued to directors, officers and employees of the Company, and each RSU entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a TransGlobe common share on the vesting date of the RSU. All RSUs granted vest annually over a three-year period, and all must be settled within 30 days of their respective vesting dates.
PSUs are similar to RSUs, except that the number of PSUs that ultimately vest is dependent on achieving certain performance targets and objectives as set by the board of directors. Depending on performance, vested PSUs can range between 50% and 150% of the original PSU grant. All PSUs granted vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, and all must be settled within 60 days of their vesting dates.
DSUs are similar to RSUs, except that they become fully vested on the date of grant and may only be issued to directors of the Company. Distributions under the DSU plan do not occur until the retirement of the DSU holder from the Company's board of directors.

Compensation expense of $1.4 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Changes in Shareholders' Equity during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 in respect of share units granted under the three plans described above. The expense related to the share units granted under these plans is measured at fair value using the lattice-based trinomial pricing model and is recognized over the vesting period, with a corresponding liability recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet. Until the liability is ultimately settled, it is re-measured at each reporting date with changes to fair value recognized in earnings.
Share appreciation rights plan
In addition to the Company’s stock option plan, the Company had issued share appreciation rights (“units”) under a share appreciation rights plan, which was cancelled effective January 30, 2014. Share appreciation rights are similar to stock options except that the holder does not have the right to purchase the underlying share of the Company and instead receives cash. Units granted under the share appreciation rights plan vested one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Share appreciation rights granted had an expiry five years after the grant date. The following table summarizes information about the share appreciation rights outstanding and exercisable at the dates indicated:

In determining diluted earnings per share, the Company assumes that the proceeds received from the exercise of “in-the-money” stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price. In calculating the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Company excluded 6,023,500 and 4,433,100 stock options (20135,232,300 and 4,619,800, respectively) as their exercise price was greater than the average common share market price in the respective periods.
The convertible debentures are dilutive in any period in which earnings per share is reduced by the effect of adjusting net earnings for the impact of the convertible debentures, and adjusting the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the potential shares issuable on conversion of the convertible debentures.
18. DIVIDENDS
The Company paid total dividends of $0.20 per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share that was paid in cash on September 30, 2014. On November 10, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share, which is payable in cash on December 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on December 15, 2014.
