Quarterly Report Q1 2015
Badger Explorer ASA (BXPL) completed the Demonstrator Program in February 2015.
Since then, the main focus at BXPL during Q1 2015 has been to prepare for the next phase, The Badger Development Program (BDP).
The recent fall in the oil price has led to comprehensive restructuring and cost cutting within the oil industry. As a result, BXPL experience a reduced ability from Oil Companies to support technology development ventures like the Badger Project.
During Q1 2015, BXPL implemented a large cost saving program to adjust to the new business climate.
By the end of the Q1 2015, 38 % of staff were made redundant, salaries for senior management were reduced and further cost cuts were implemented. 2015 turns out to be a challenging year and BXPL has revised its 2015 plan so that the company will survive on limited cash.
Together with the oil companies the Development Program has been rescheduled to fit the present financial climate. This means BXPL is planning for less spending during 2015, and a ramp up later during the Development program.
BXPL is currently negotiating such a rescheduled program plan with the sponsoring oil companies.
It is BXPL's ambition to enter a partner agreement with one oil company by the end of H1 2015, to sign an agreement with a second partner by the end of Q3 2015 and a third partner within H1 2016. With three partners on-board the Badger Board of Directors are of the opinion that the funding for the next phase is secured.
The next step, with three partners on-board and technical progress according to plan, will be to initiate a strategic relationship with an oil service company to speed up product development and prepare for market introduction.
The Demonstrator Program was approved by the partners in a steering committee meeting in February 2015. The results from Milestones 5 and 6 have given Badger Explorer new and valuable information about the tool performance. Laboratory analysis of the permeability in the compacted plug exceeded the expectations and was substantially better than the test requirement. In combination with the results from the previous milestones this provides a solid foundation for the next phase, the Development Program.
BXPL has previously finalized the Badger Explorer Development Program Scope of Work and identified the main milestones in the Program. The formal agreement and the Scope of Work have been put together in close cooperation with our partners.
In Q1 2015, Badger Explorer and the partners have further worked on the Scope of Work and adjusted the order in which tasks will be executed. These adjustments will not change the overall objective of the program and qualification of technologies for a commercial Badger tool.
The main tasks for the first phase of the program are Cuttings Transport Systems and Compaction Systems. The Cuttings Transport System will be based on previous work completed together with Honeybee Robotics and experiences gathered during the Demonstrator Program tests. The main work related to the Compaction system will be executed as part of the Petromaks2 project which started in 2014. The Project will develop HPHT ultrasonic transducers which will be used to further characterize compaction efficiency in realistic conditions.

On the 5th May 2015, BXPL held the AGM for 2014.
In H1 2015, there is uncertainty as to whether BXPL has sufficient funding to operate through 2015. Hence, the audit report given for 2014 is un-qualified. However, the Board has the confidence that funding will be secured for 2015 and therefore the 2014 accounts were approved on a going concern basis.
At the AGM Ms Tone Kvaale resigned as Board member after 8 years of service. An Extraordinary General Meeting will be held before end of June 2015 to elect a new female board member.
The oil business is currently undergoing comprehensive changes and cost cuttings. In such a climate BXPL is confident to achieve the necessary support for the Badger Development Program. BXPL is also confident the agreed technical deliveries for 2015 are achievable.
During 2016 we expect to see an improving business climate that will enable BXPL to ramp up the ongoing development activities.
Stavanger, 20th May 2015 The Board of Directors Badger Explorer ASA
Badger Explorer ASA (BXPL) is a public limited company registered in Norway and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Axess list). The Company's head office is located at Forusskogen 1, 4033 Stavanger, Norway.
The financial statements of BXPL have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for investment in Severn Subsea Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Calidus Engineering Ltd.), which is initially recognised at fair value at the effective date of the disposal of the shares.
From 28 June 2013, 30% of the shares in SST were owned by BXPL. The investment in SST was initially recognised at fair value at the effective date of the sale from 100% to 30% of the shares. Subsequent measurement of the remaining 30% of the shares was recognised according to equity method. On 15 December 2014, Severn Glocon acquired another 15% of the shares in SST. BXPL holds 15% of shares in SST as of 31 March 2015.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If BXPL losses control over a subsidiary, it:
Non-controlling interest represent the portions of profit and loss and net assets not held by BXPL are presented separately in the income statement and within equity in the statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholder's equity.
The interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of 31 December 2014.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the financial statements as of 31 December 2014.
BXPL's financial statements are presented in NOK. The income statement in foreign subsidiary is translated into NOK using the average exchange rate for the period (month). Assets and liabilities in foreign subsidiary, including goodwill and adjustments of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities arising on the sale of shares in SST, are translated into NOK using exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the translation are recognised directly as other comprehensive income in equity.
Financial assets within the scope IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial liabilities within the scope IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, as appropriate.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs are added.
Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cash includes cash in hand and at bank.
Accounts receivable are recognised in the statement of financial position at nominal value less provisions for doubtful debts.
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciations and impairment losses.
The gross carrying amount of fixed assets is the purchase price, including duties/taxes and direct acquisition costs relating to making the asset ready for use.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method.
Intangible assets are capitalised if it is probable that the expected future financial benefits referred to the asset will accrue to the Company, and that the cost can be calculated in a reliable matter.
Development expenditures related to the Badger Explorer development project are recognised as an intangible asset when BXPL can demonstrate:
When all the above criteria are met, the cost related to the development starts to be recognised in the statement of financial position.
Costs that have been charged as expenses in previous accounting periods are not recognised in the statement of financial position.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Revenue is recognised to the extent when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to BXPL and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Interest income is recognised in the income statement based on the effective interest method as they are earned.
Public grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grants relate to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the cost it intends to compensate. Where the costs are related to a development project and capitalised, the belonging grants are capitalised together with the cost.
Contributions from partners are recognised in the statement of financial position under long term liabilities as the contributions are subject to repayment ref note 14 in BXPL annual accounts.
On 17 February 2014, the Board of Directors of BXPL implemented a new share option program for BXPL employees offering a total of 213,000 share options at a strike price of NOK 7.51, corresponding to 1.2% of all outstanding BXPL shares. The options granted will be vested in tranches and can be exercised at the earliest 12 months subsequent to the date of grant and thereafter up to 2 occasions during each calendar year, between three and ten days after publications of the Company's Q1 and Q3 quarterly results in 2016 and 2017. A total number of 51,000 share options vested on 31 March 2015. The remaining 523,000 share options were "out of the money" as of 31 March 2015.
The statement of cash flow is prepared in accordance with the indirect method and based upon IAS 7.

The share options agreements are equity-based incentive compensation. The employee share options are recognised as an expense in the income statement under "Payroll and related costs" and in the statement of financial position under "Other paid in capital". The options (incl. Employers' national insurance contributions) are recognised over the vesting period starting from September 2009. The share option value is based on a third party evaluation of the options at the grant date where the Black-Scholes model is used for calculation. The replacement of options is treated as a cancellation and re-pricing under IFRS 2.
