NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
(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 effective as of March 31, 2016. 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, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 10, 2016.
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, 2015.
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. 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.
The carrying values and fair values of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

Assets and liabilities at March 31, 2016 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 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.


Q1-2016
 
5

 


Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if the counter-parties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily relates to accounts receivable, the majority of which are in respect of oil operations. The Company extends unsecured credit to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation ("EGPC") and therefore the collection of amounts from EGPC 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 EGPC. The political transition and resultant economic malaise in the country that began in 2011 resulted in irregular collection of accounts receivable from EGPC and generally a larger receivable balance, which increased TransGlobe's credit risk. Despite these factors, the Company expects to collect in full all receivables outstanding from EGPC.
In January 2015, TransGlobe began direct sales of Eastern Desert entitlement production to international buyers. The Company completed three separate direct crude shipments to third party buyers in 2015, and one shipment in the first quarter of 2016. Buyers are required to post irrevocable letters of credit to support the sales prior to the cargo liftings. TransGlobe's credit risk has been reduced substantially as a result of the direct sale of its crude oil to third parties.

11. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortized cost. As at March 31, 2016, the only significant interest-bearing loans and borrowings related to the Borrowing Base Facility, under which the Company has borrowing capacity of $37.2 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 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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$13.63 per common share. The debentures were not redeemable by the Company on or before March 31, 2015 other than in limited circumstances described below or 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


Q1-2016

to the date on which notice of redemption is provided is not less than 125 percent of the conversion price (or C$17.04 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. 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 March 31, 2016 the convertible debentures were trading at a price of C$88.25 for a
C$100.00 par value debenture. This represents a decrease of $2.15 since December 31, 2015 and as a result, the Company has recognized a net recovery of $1.6 million with respect to the fair value adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

In the normal course of its operations, the Company may be subject to litigations and claims. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.
The Company is not aware of any material provisions or other contingent liabilities as at March 31, 2016.

On March 25, 2015, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") accepted the Company's notice of intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") for its common shares. The NCIB, which commenced on March 31, 2015 and terminated on March 30, 2016, provided the Company the right to acquire up to 6,207,585 common shares, which was equal to 10% of the public float.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, TransGlobe did not repurchase any common shares. In 2015, the Company repurchased and cancelled 3,103,792 common shares. The cost of shares repurchased (including transaction costs) was applied directly against share capital in the periods in which the respective repurchase transactions were settled.

15. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Company operates a stock option plan (the “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 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.
The following table summarizes information about the stock options outstanding and exercisable at the dates indicated:

Share–based compensation
Compensation expense of $0.4 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Earnings (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Changes in Shareholders’ Equity during the period ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - $0.8 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 period ended March 31, 2016, no stock options were exercised (201570,000). The fair value related to stock options exercised in the first quarter of 2015 was $0.1 million at time of grant and was transferred from contributed surplus to share capital. As at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 are only 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.
The number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs outstanding as at March 31, 2016 are as follows:

An immaterial compensation expense recovery was recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Earnings (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Changes in Shareholders' Equity during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - expense of $0.2 million) 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.

Weighted-average number of shares outstanding

Weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding

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 period ended March 31, 2016, the Company excluded all 6,664,353 stock options (20155,426,300) as their exercise price was greater than the average common share market price in the period.
The convertible debentures are dilutive in any period in which earnings per share is reduced (or loss per share is increased) by the effect of adjusting net earnings or loss 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.
