Arrow Exploration Corp. Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements In United States Dollars (Unaudited)
September 30, 2021
1. Corporate Information
Arrow Exploration Corp. (“Arrow” or “the Company”) is a public junior oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in Colombia and in Western Canada. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol AXL. During October 2021, the Company’s common shares started to trade in the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc under the same AXL symbol (see Note 17). The head office of Arrow is located at 1430, 333 – 11th Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2R 1L9 and the registered office is located at Suite 1600, 421 – 7th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 4K9.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $32,233,092 for the year 2020, an interim net loss of $1,266,503 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and had a working capital of $783,707 as at September 30, 2021. During 2020, oil and gas prices have been significantly depressed and the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has fostered a great deal of uncertainty for the future operations of the Company. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to identify additional sources of capital and to raise sufficient resources to fund ongoing operating expenses and commitments. There is no assurance these initiatives will be successful in the future. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt regarding the applicability of the going concern assumption. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
2. Basis of Presentation
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the board of directors of the Company on November 23, 2021. They do not contain all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020.
These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities recorded in accordance with IFRS 9. The Financial Statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As at March 31, 2020, the Company reviewed its cash-generating unit’s (“CGU”) property and equipment and determined that there were indicators of impairment present related to the decrease in reserves. The company prepared estimates of both the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal of its CGUs and it was determined that carrying value of each CGU exceeded its recoverable amount and, therefore, an impairment provisions of $27,263,110 was required. The following table outlines forecast benchmark prices and exchange rates used in the Company’s impairment test as at September 30, 2020:
| Exchange | AECO Spot | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| rate | Gas | Brent | |
| Year | $US / $Cdn | CDN$/MCF | $US/Bbl |
| 2020 | 0.71 | 1.90 | 32.00 |
| 2021 | 0.72 | 2.30 | 42.00 |
| 2022 | 0.73 | 2.40 | 51.00 |
| 2023 | 0.75 | 2.49 | 58.00 |
| 2024 | 0.75 | 2.54 | 62.00 |
| 2025 | 0.75 | 2.60 | 63.24 |
| Thereafter (inflation %) | 0.80 | 2.0%/yr | 2.0%/yr |
These benchmark prices reflect the price forecasts, effective March 31, 2020 from Boury Global Energy Consultants.
The Company used a 15% discount rate in Canada, and 17.5% in Colombia for the June 30, 2020 impairment test, which took into account risks specific to each CGU and inherent in the oil and gas business. As at June 30, 2020, a 0.5% decrease in the discount rate applied or 2% change in the forecast benchmark prices would not have resulted in additional impairment.

During 2020, the Company owes $31,396 (CAD$40,000) from the Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) program implemented by the government of Canada to provide support to small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan does not bear any interest until December 2022 and is subject to a 25% forgiveness if the full balance is repaid before that date.
11. Other Liabilities
The other liabilities of the Company relate to an environmental fee in Colombia that is levied on capital projects. The fee is calculated as 1% of the project cost. The program is administered by the Colombian National Authority of Environmental Licences (“ANLA”) and is levied on projects that utilize surface water or deep water wells that may have an impact on the environment. The funds are generally used in the affected communities for purposes of land purchases, biomechanical works (e.g. containment walls in rivers), reforestation, research projects and others. At September 30, 2021 the Company had provided for $177,500 (December 31, 2020 - $177,500) for the environmental fee.
12. Decommissioning Liability
The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the obligation associated with the decommissioning of oil and gas properties.
| Obligation, beginning of the year Change in estimated cash flows Liabilities disposed Accretion expenses Effects of movements in foreign exchange rates Obligation, end of the year |
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 |
|---|---|
| $ 2,584,907 $ 8,173,222 - (109,864) - (6,016,514) 98,647 524,477 (406) 13,586 |
|
| $ 2,683,148 $ 2,584,907 |
The obligation was calculated using a risk-free discount rate range of 1.0% to 2.0% in Canada (2020: 1.50% to 2.75%) and 5.90% in Colombia (2020: 5.90%) with an inflation rate of 2.0% and 2.5%, respectively (2020: 2.0% and 2.5%). It is expected that the majority of costs are expected to occur between 2022 and 2033. The undiscounted amount of cash flows, required over the estimated reserve life of the underlying assets, to settle the obligation, adjusted for inflation, is estimated at $3,779,120 (2020: $4,072,683).

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Exploration and Production Contracts
The Company has entered into a number of exploration contracts in Colombia which require the Company to fulfill work program commitments and issue financial guarantees related thereto. In aggregate, the Company has outstanding exploration commitments at September 30, 2021 of $17.8 million. The Company, in conjunction with its partners, have made applications to cancel a further $15.5 million ($5.8 million Arrow’s share) in commitments on the Macaya and Los Picachos blocks. The remaining commitments are expected to be satisfied by means of seismic work, exploration drilling and farm-outs. Presented below are the Company’s exploration and production contractual commitments at September 30, 2021:
| Block | Less than 1 year 1-3 years Thereafter Total |
|---|---|
| COR-39 Los Picachos Macaya Total |
- 12,000,000 - 12,000,000 - 1,970,000 - 1,970,000 - 3,830,000 - 3,830,000 |
| - 17,800,000 - 17,800,000 |
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation or has claims sought against it in the normal course of business operations. Management of the Company is not currently aware of any claims or actions that would materially affect the Company’s reported financial position or results from operations. Under the terms of certain agreements and the Company's by-laws the Company indemnifies individuals who have acted at the Company's request to be a director and/or officer of the Company, to the extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, liabilities, costs, charges or expenses suffered by or incurred by the individuals as a result of their service.
Oleoducto Bicentenario de Colombia (“OBC”) Pipeline
The Company is party to an agreement with Canacol that entitles it to a 0.5% interest in OBC, which owns a pipeline system intended to link Llanos basin oil production to the Caño Limon oil pipeline system in Colombia. Likewise, Canacol is currently in litigation with OBC in relation to ship or pay obligations that were terminated by Canacol in July 2018 under force majeure. On March 27, 2019, the court in charge of the case ruled in favor of the OBC and opined that the obligations under the ship or pay contract remains in force. Subsequently, on May 13, 2019, Canacol filed an appeal at the State Council, a higher-level court in the Colombian judiciary system, requesting annulment of this ruling. Likewise, in July 2019, OBC has also started litigation against Canacol for not honouring its ship or pay obligations under the contract.
During 2020 and 2021, there has been negotiations between the parties involved in order to settle this case and settlement agreements have been approved by courts. As a result, Arrow does not have any current or future requirement to satisfy past and future ship or pay obligations and has reversed its $658,654 accrual accordingly.

Letters of Credit
At September 30, 2021, the Company had obligations under Letters of Credit (“LC’s”) outstanding totaling $5.2 million to guarantee work commitments on exploration blocks and other contractual commitments. Of the total, approximately $4.1 million has been guaranteed by Canacol. Under an agreement, Canacol will continue to provide security for Arrow’s Letters of Credit providing that Arrow uses all reasonable efforts to replace the LC’s. In the event the Company fails to secure the renewal of the letters of credit underlying the ANH guarantees, or any of them, the ANH could decide to cancel the underlying exploration and production contract for a particular block, as applicable. In this instance, the Company could risk losing its entire interest in the applicable block, including all capital expended to date and could possibly also incur additional abandonment and reclamation costs if applied by the ANH.

15. Financial Instruments
The Company holds various forms of financial instruments. The nature of these instruments and the Company’s operations expose the Company to commodity price, credit and foreign exchange risks. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to the extent practical.
- (a) Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Lower commodity prices can also impact the Company’s ability to raise capital. Commodity prices for crude oil are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. From time to time the Company may attempt to mitigate commodity price risk through the use of financial derivatives.
- i) Financial Derivative Contracts
During 2020, the Company had one financial derivative contract in order to manage commodity price risk. This instrument was not used for trading or speculative purposes. Arrow had not designated its financial derivative contract as effective accounting hedge, even though the Company considered the commodity contract to be an effective economic hedge. As a result, the financial derivative contract was recorded on the statements of financial position at fair value, with the changes in fair value being recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. This contract was terminated during 2020.
The estimated fair value of the derivative financial instrument in Level 2 at each measurement date have been determined based on appropriate internal valuation methodologies and/or third party indications. Level 2 fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of future cash flows and discount rates. In determining these assumptions, the Company primarily relied on external, readily-observable quoted market inputs as
14
Arrow Exploration Corp. Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements In United States Dollars (Unaudited)
September 30, 2021
applicable, including crude oil forward benchmark commodity prices and volatility, and discounted to present value as appropriate. The resulting fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction and these differences may be material. The realized gain on risk management activities is included as part of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The gains on risk management activities for the period are comprised as follows:
| For the three months ended September 30 |
|
|---|---|
| 2021 2020 |
|
| Realized risk management gain on commodity contract settled Unrealized gain on commodity contract outstanding |
$ - $ 1,288,523 - - |
| $- $ 1,288,523 |
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk reflects the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. The majority of the Company’s account receivable balances relate to petroleum and natural gas sales and balances receivables with partners in areas operated by the Company. The Company’s policy is to enter into agreements with customers that are well established and well financed entities in the oil and gas industry such that the level of risk is mitigated. In Colombia, a significant portion of the trade accounts receivable balance is with producing company, which accounts for more than 85% of such balance, under an existing sale/offtake agreement with prepayment provisions and priced using the Brent benchmark. Other accounts receivable include a significant balance with a partner with an existing agreement to use 50% of its production entitlement to repay this balance.
The Company’s trade account receivables primarily relate to sales of crude oil and natural gas, which are normally collected within 25 days (in Canada) and 15 days in advance (in Colombia) of the month of production. Other accounts receivable mainly relate to balances owed by the Company’s partner in one of its blocks, and are mainly recoverable through production. The Company has historically not experienced any collection issues with its customers and partners.
(c) Market Risk
Market risk is comprised of two components: foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.
- i) Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company operates on an international basis and therefore foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as it holds cash and incurs expenditures in exploration and evaluation and administrative costs in foreign currencies. The Company incurs expenditures in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and the Colombian peso and is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates in these currencies. There are no exchange rate contracts in place.
- ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not currently exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at a fixed coupon rate of 15% on the promissory notes.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of the Company’s operational liquidity requirements:
-
The Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date;
-
The Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or
15
Arrow Exploration Corp. Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements In United States Dollars (Unaudited)
September 30, 2021
- The Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.
The Company’s approach to managing its liquidity risk is to ensure, within reasonable means, sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and unusual conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or jeopardizing the Company’s business objectives.
The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets which are monitored regularly and updated as considered necessary. Petroleum and natural gas production is monitored daily to provide current cash flow estimates and the Company utilizes authorizations for expenditures on projects to manage capital expenditures. Any funding shortfall may be met in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or equity instruments, further expenditure reductions and/or the introduction of joint venture partners.
(e) Capital Management
The Company’s objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to provide flexibility in the future development of the business and maintain investor, creditor and market confidence. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company considers its capital structure to include share capital, bank debt (when available), promissory notes and working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, from time to time the Company may issue common shares or other securities, sell assets or adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. The Company monitors leverage and adjusts its capital structure based on its net debt level. Net debt is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items. In order to facilitate the management of its net debt, the Company prepares annual budgets, which are updated as necessary depending on varying factors including current and forecast crude oil prices, changes in capital structure, execution of the Company’s business plan and general industry conditions. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors and updates are prepared and reviewed as required.
The Company’s capital includes the following:
| Working capital, before promissory note Promissory note |
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 |
|---|---|
| 783,707 3,839,384 (3,301,860) (5,772,324) |
|
| $(2,518,153) $ (1,932,940) |
The current challenging economic climate may lead to further adverse changes in cash flows, working capital levels and debt balances, which may also have a direct impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position. These and other factors may adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate income and cash flows in the future. At September 30, 2021, the Company remains in compliance with all terms of its debt and, based on current available information, management expects to comply with all terms during the subsequent 12 months period. However, in light of the current volatility in commodity prices and uncertainty regarding the timing for recovery in such prices and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the preparation of financial forecast is challenging.
16. Segmented Information
The Company has two reportable operating segments: Colombia and Canada. The Company, through its operating segments, is engaged primarily in oil exploration, development and production, and the acquisition of oil and gas properties. The Canadian segment is also considered the corporate segment and covers the corporate overhead expenses. The following tables show information regarding the Company’s segments for the three and nine months ended and as at September 30:

17. Subsequent events
On October 18, 2021, a seventh amended and restated promissory note was agreed with Canacol which includes that the new principal amount of the promissory note is $6,026,166, which bares interest at an annual rate of 15%, and will be paid as follows:
-
The amount of C$3,900,000 plus all Canacol’s expenses in connection with this amendment and related matters, shall be paid not later than October 31, 2021;
-
The 50% of the remaining principal and interest shall be paid no later than December 31, 2022; and
-
The remaining principal and interest shall be paid not later than June 30,2023
Also, provided the Company makes the payment due on October 31, 2021, Canacol agrees to forgive $800,000 assumed by Canacol for excess pipeline shipping costs as a result of the settlement of the OBC pipeline dispute. On October 27, 2021, the Company paid C$3,900,000 to Canacol as stipulated in this seventh amendment.
On October 20, 2021, the Company announced that it has conditionally raised approximately £8.8 million (C$15.0 million), through a placing and subscription for new common shares with new investors, Canacol Energy Ltd., and executive management (together, the "Fundraising") and has published an AIM Admission Document in connection with the admission of the enlarged share capital of the Company to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. The Fundraising consisted on placement and subscription of 140,949,545 new common shares at an issue price of £0.0625 (C$0.106125) per new common share. The Company’s executive management invested approximately C$ 1.41 million and Canacol participated in the subscription to hold 19.9% of the enlarged share capital. Investors received one warrant for every two new common shares, exercisable at C$0.15282 per new common share for 24 months from the AIM admission date (October 25, 2021).
The net proceeds of the Fundraising, together with the Company's existing funds, are expected to be used to drill two wells at Rio Cravo Este, commencing by the end of 2021, and will also be deployed in drilling the Carrizales Norte-1 exploration well.
On November 24, 2021, the Company announced that it has closed a private placement of C$395,375 for issuance of 3,882,676 new common shares.
