Continental Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
30 September 2013
Expressed in U.S. Dollars
(Unaudited Prepared by Management)
 

 

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Continental Energy Corporation (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s registered address and records office is 900-885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3H1.

The Company is an emerging international energy investment company acquiring participating interests in oil, gas, and alternative energy projects, producers, and related services providers outside of North America.

These Interim Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The Company has incurred operating losses over the past several fiscal years and has no current source of operating cash flow. There are no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to further develop its projects. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the financing necessary to acquire new properties and develop them as well as fund ongoing administration expenses.

Management intends to obtain additional funding by issuing common stock in private placements. There can be no assurance that management’s future financing actions will be successful. Management is not able to assess the likelihood or timing of improvements in the equity markets for raising capital for future acquisitions or expenditures.

These uncertainties represent a liquidity risk and impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these Interim Statements, liquidation accounting would apply and adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets, liabilities, the reported income and expenses, and such adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Preparation

These Interim Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and based on the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The Interim Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The Company’s Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility and authority for approving quarterly financial statements and MD&A to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee approved these Interim Statements on 30 April 2014.



3. Critical Judgements and Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Interim Statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Company’s management make judgements and estimates and form assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and related notes to those financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgements, estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to judgements, estimates and assumptions are accounted for prospectively.

In preparing these Interim Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.



4. Investments

Visionaire Energy AS

On 4 June 2013, the Company acquired a 51% of the shares of Visionaire Energy AS (“Visionaire”), a privately held Norwegian holding company by issuing 20 million of its common shares with a fair value of $900,000. As the Company has a controlling interest, Visionaire’s accounts were consolidated and a non-controlling interest was recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. The principal assets of Visionaire are its shareholdings in two separate, privately owned, offshore oil and gas service providers, both based in Bergen, Norway. Visionaire owns a 49% equity interest in VTT Maritime AS and a 41% equity interest in RADA Engineering and Consulting AS. Visionaire maintains significant influence over both investments and both are accounted for using the equity method. The Company considers Visionaire, VTT, and RADA to be its "affiliates".

The allocation of the purchase price and the reconciliation of the balance as at 30 June 2013 is as follows:

  Balance, 30 September 2013 341,232  

On 21 September 2011, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for proceeds of $250,000. The promissory note originally accumulated interest at a rate of 10% per annum or at 15% per annum on default of payment, with maturity date of 22 September 2012. The promissory note principal was convertible, at the election of the holder, at any time during its term into 3,125,000 common shares of the Company. Any unpaid interest upon conversion is also convertible, at the option of the promissory note holder, at the same conversion rate as the promissory note. As additional consideration, the Company issued 1,562,500 warrants (“the additional consideration warrants”) to the note holder, exercisable at $0.12 per share up to 22 September 2013.Also in conjunction with the convertible promissory note, the Company issued 250,000 finders’ warrants to an arm’s-length third party, exercisable at a price of $0.12 per share up to 21 September 2013. The terms of these finders’ warrants were later modified to have an exercise price of $0.08 and an expiry date of 15 March 2015.

On 21 November 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder, increasing the interest rate retroactively to 18%, extending the maturity of the note and the conversion option to 21 March 2013 and reducing the conversion price from $0.08 to $0.05 per share. The conversion option amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $1,000.

On 21 May 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the note holder, extending the maturity date of the promissory note and conversion option to 21 September 2013, extending the term of the additional consideration warrants to 21 March 2015 and reducing the exercise price of the additional consideration warrants to $0.08.The conversion feature amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $1,000. The additional consideration warrant amendment resulted in an incremental fair value of $16,719.

Subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2013, the Company entered into agreements with the note holder for extending the maturity date of the promissory note and the terms of the conversion option (Note10).

  • Quarterly results will vary in accordance with the Company’s own business activities but also with the performance of the Company’s Norwegian "affiliates", Visionaire, VTT, and RADA. The Company's uses the equity method of accounting for these affiliates as further described in the notes to the accompanying Interim Statements.

  • The Company’s primary source of funding is through the issuance of share capital. When the capital markets are depressed, the Company’s activity level normally declines accordingly. As capital markets strengthen and the Company is able to secure equity financing with favourable terms, the size and scope of the
    Company’s activity will increase.

  • Another factor that affects the Company’s reported quarterly results are write-downs or write-offs of capitalized assets and its investments. The Company will write-down or write-off capitalized properties or assets when results indicate that no further work is warranted and also write-down or write-off its balances in investees if it determines that capitalized balances of these investments are impaired. The size and timing of these write-downs and write-offs cannot typically be predicted and affect the Company’s quarterly results.
    The Company regularly reviews its properties and investments for any indications of impairment.

  • Non-cash costs such as share based payments expense and financing fees also affect the size of the
    Company’s quarterly income (loss).





Comparative Results of Operations- Current Quarter to Same Quarter Last Year

The financial results of the Company's operations for the First Quarter and three month period ended 30 September 2013 (the “Current Quarter”) are compared to the same three month period last year ended on 30 September 2012 (the “Comparative Quarter”) in the following discussion:

  1)     

Overall, the Company incurred a loss from operations during the Current Quarter of $189,866 compared to a loss of $156,471 for the Comparative Quarter, an increase of $33,395.

     
  2)     

The Company incurred a loss per share of $0.00 both in the Current Quarter and the Comparative Quarter. The increase in loss is primarily due to the Company using equity accounting for the losses of its affiliates.

     
  3)     

Total equity loss during the Current Quarter was $43,194 compared to $nil for the Comparative Quarter. The Company made the investment in the affiliates on 4 June 2013 during the fourth quarter for fiscal 2013. All of the Company’s other costs decreased slightly compared to the costs incurred during the Comparative Quarter as a result of lower overall activity of the Company during the Current Quarter.

  5)

Liquidity at the End of the First Quarter

As at 30 September 2013, the Company’s Interim Statements reflect a working capital deficit of $865,189 compared to a working capital deficit of a $744,692 at the 30 June 2013 end of the previous quarter. The Company generated $20,239 from financing activities during the Current Quarter which included proceeds from private placements and loans from related parties. The Company made principal and interest payments to related parties during the Current Quarter, in the amount of $15,462.

Capital Resources

The Company has no significant operations that generate cash flow and its long term financial success is dependent on management’s ability to identify and conclude oil, gas, and alternative energy investments with a likelihood of success. These undertakings can take many years and are subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

In order to finance the Company’s growth and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity sales and from the exercise of convertible securities. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the energy and resource markets, the climate for investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and calibre of its management.

The Company may not have sufficient funds to meet its administrative and new business development activities over the next twelve months. The Company believes it will be able to raise the necessary capital it requires, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond its control. The Company is actively sourcing new capital.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has no history of profitable operations and is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages and limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations.

There is no certainty that the money the Company spends on new business development or that the investments it makes will result in significant revenue growth to the Company. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will in part be related to the success of its investments and the performance of current and future Affiliates, all of whom may be affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company.

The Company is very dependent upon the personal efforts and commitment of its existing management. To the extent that management's services would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations of the Company could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the Company.

Segment Information

The Company operates in the business sector of acquiring participating equity interests in oil, gas, and alternative energy projects, producers, and related services providers doing business outside of North America. The Company's assets are segmented on a geographical basis as follows:

Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect management's expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of reserves and resources, the realization of reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, success of oil and gas operations, environmental risks, permitting risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual results of exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of resources; possible variations in resource reserves; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the oil and gas and alternative energy industries; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; as well as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company's interim and annual financial statements which are filed and available for review on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
