Advisory Regarding Forward‐Looking Statements

This MD&A contains certain statements or disclosures relating to Arrow that are based on the expectations of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Arrow which may constitute forwardlooking statements or information (“forward-looking statements”) under applicable securities laws. All such statements and disclosures, other than those of historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results or developments that Arrow anticipates or expects may, could or will occur in the future (in whole or in part) should be considered forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “expect", ”likely”, “may”, “outlook”, “plan”, “potential”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this MD&A contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact; tax liability; capital management strategy; capital structure; credit facilities and other debt; performance by Canacol (as defined herein) and the Company in connection with the Note (as defined herein) and letters of credit; Arrow’s costless collar structure; Arrow’s interest in the OBC Pipeline (as defined herein) and the consequences thereof; cost reduction initiatives; potential drilling on the Tapir block; capital requirements; expenditures associated with asset retirement obligations; future drilling activity and the development of the Rio Cravo Este structure on the Tapir Block. Statements relating to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future.

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Arrow including, without limitation: current and anticipated commodity prices and royalty regimes; the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; the financial impact of Arrow’s costless collar structure; availability of skilled labour; timing and amount of capital expenditures; future exchange rates; commodity prices; the impact of increasing competition; general economic conditions; availability of drilling and related equipment; receipt of partner, regulatory and community approvals; royalty rates; future operating costs; effects of regulation by governmental agencies; uninterrupted access to areas of Arrow’s operations and infrastructure; recoverability of reserves; future production rates; timing of drilling and completion of wells; pipeline capacity; that Arrow will have sufficient cash flow, debt or equity sources or other financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed; that Arrow’s conduct and results of operations will be consistent with its expectations; that Arrow will have the ability to develop its oil and gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; current or, where applicable, proposed industry conditions, laws and regulations will continue in effect or as anticipated; that the estimates of Arrow’s reserves and production volumes and the

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements including, without limitation: the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of general economic conditions; volatility in commodity prices; industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations including adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; competition; lack of availability of qualified personnel; the results of exploration and development drilling and related activities; obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities; counterparty risk; risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities; commodity price volatility; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; environmental risks; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive programs; changes to pipeline capacity; ability to secure a credit facility; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; risk that Arrow’s evaluation of its existing portfolio of development and exploration opportunities is not consistent with future results; that production may not necessarily be indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in Arrow’s public disclosure documents including, without limitation, those risks identified in Arrow’s 2018 AIF, a copy of which is available on Arrow’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Non‐IFRS Measures

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance. The Company’s determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

Working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities; funds from operations is calculated as cash flows from (used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude settlement of decommissioning obligations and changes in non-cash working capital balances; realized price is calculated by dividing gross revenue by gross production, by product, in the applicable period; operating netback is calculated as total natural gas and crude revenues minus royalties, transportation costs and operating expenditures; adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other similar non-recurring or non-cash charges; and net debt is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items.

The Company also presents funds from operations per share, whereby per share amounts are calculated using weightedaverage shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of net loss and comprehensive loss per share.

A reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures is included as follows:

The term barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) is used in this MD&A. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas to one barrel of oil (“bbl”) is used in the MD&A. This conversion ratio of 6:1 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

The Company

Arrow is a junior oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in Colombia and Western Canada. The Company’s shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol AXL.

The Company and Arrow Exploration Ltd. entered into an arrangement agreement dated September 1, 2018, as amended, whereby the parties completed a business combination pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act ( Alberta ) (“ABCA”) on September 28, 2018. Arrow Exploration Ltd. and Front Range’s then wholly-owned subsidiary, 2118295 Alberta Ltd., were amalgamated to form Arrow Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Arrangement”). On May 31, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. entered in a share purchase agreement, as amended, with Canacol Energy Ltd. (“Canacol”), to acquire Canacol’s Colombian oil properties held by its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A. (“Carrao”). On September 27, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. closed the agreement with Canacol.

On May 31, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd., entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a 50% beneficial interest in a contract entered into with Ecopetrol S.A. pertaining to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the Tapir block from Samaria Exploration & Production S.A. (“Samaria”). On September 27, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. closed the agreement with Samaria. As at September 20, 2021 the Company held an interest in Nine oil blocks in Colombia and oil and natural gas leases in seven areas in Canada as follows:

		Gross Acres	Working Interest	Net Acres

The Company’s primary producing assets are located in Colombia in the Tapir, Oso Pardo and Ombu blocks, and in Canada at Fir, Alberta.

Llanos Basin

Within the Llanos Basin, the Company is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil within the Tapir block. On September 10, 2019, the Company announced a discovery at its Rio Cravo Este-1 (“RCE-1”) exploration well on the Tapir block.

In the Llanos Basin most oil accumulations are associated with three-way dip closure against NNE-SSW trending normal faults and can have pay within multiple reservoirs. Effective exploration for this play requires good quality 3D seismic data. The Tapir block contain large areas not yet covered by 3D seismic, and in Management’s opinion offer substantial exploration upside.

Middle Magdalena Valley (“MMV”) Basin

Arrow’s Oso Pardo field is located in the MMV Basin. In general, fields within the basin are more structurally complex than in the Llanos basin but have the potential for thicker oil columns and significant oil in place.

Oso Pardo Field

The Oso Pardo Field is located in the Santa Isabel Block in the MMV Basin. It is a 100% owned property operated by the Company. The Oso Pardo field is located within a Production Licence covering 672 acres. Three wells have been drilled to date within the License area.

Ombu E&P Contract – Capella Conventional Heavy Oil Discovery

The Caguan Basin covers an area of approximately 60,000 km[2] and lies between the Putumayo and Llanos Basins. The primary reservoir target is the Upper Eocene aged Mirador formation. The Capella structure is a large, elongated northeastsouthwest fault-related anticline, with approximately 17,500 acres in closure at the Mirador level. The field is located approximately 250 km away from the nearest offloading station at Neiva, where production from Capella is trucked.

The Capella No. 1 discovery well was drilled in July 2008 and was followed by a series of development wells. The Company earned a 10% working interest in the Ombu E&P Contract by paying 100% of all activities associated with the drilling, completion, and testing of the Capella No. 1 well.

Fir, Alberta

The Company has an average non-operated 32% WI in 12 gross (3.84 net) sections of oil and natural gas rights and 17 gross (4.5 net) producing natural gas wells at Fir. The wells produce raw natural gas into the Cecilia natural gas plant where it is processed.

Three months ended September 30, 2021 Financial and Operational Highlights

• For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Arrow recorded $1,684,609 in revenues (net of royalties) on crude oil sales of 26,280 bbls, 446 bbls of natural gas liquids (“NGL’s”) and 46,057 Mcf of natural gas sales

• Funds from operations of $815,621

• Adjusted EBITDA was $966,234

• The Company recorded a net loss of $21,781

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company has progressively increased its production due to resuming production in areas previously affected by failures in production equipment, social instability, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company’s main streams of revenues are its RCE-1 well in the Tapir block and its Oso Pardo wells.

The Company reported other income of $767,215 and $1,262,139 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The 2021 amount has been generated from the Company’s ongoing negotiations of accounts payable and debts with vendors, both in Colombia and Canada, which have resulted in reductions of amounts actually paid in cash to settle its liabilities.

Total income tax expense	(27,197)	$247,000	(27,197)	(7,311,786)

Due to the Company’s tax losses available in Canada and Colombia, it is expected that the Company will not generate current income tax from its operations for the year 2021, other than a minimum tax payable. During 2020, there were changes the Company’s deferred income tax liability mainly caused by the impairment provision recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the reversal of all existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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, debt and working capital, excluding non-cash items. 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 had a net loss of $32,233,092 for the year 2020 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.

The Company’s working capital has been significantly improving in 2021 due to sales of assets, improvement in commodity prices and effective cash management. Additionally, the Company has been admitted to trade its common shares in the London AIM market and completed an initial fundraising of C$15 million (see subsequent events). The net proceeds of this fundraising, together with the Company's existing funds, are expected to be used to drill two wells at Rio Cravo Este, and will also be deployed in drilling the Carrizales Norte-1 exploration well.

On October 20, 2021, the Company announced that it has conditionally raised approximately £8.8 million (C$15 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, 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.

Debt Capital

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a $6.3 million in outstanding debt in the form of a promissory note payable to Canacol. The promissory note was issued to Canacol Energy Ltd. (“Canacol”) as partial consideration in the acquisition of Carrao Energy S.A. from Canacol. The promissory note bears interest at 15% per annum, was initially due on January 28, 2019 and subsequently extended to April 30, 2019, October 1, 2020 and April 1, 2021. Arrow and Canacol entered into a third, fourth and fifth Amended and Restated Promissory Notes in December 2019, March and August 2020, respectively.

In May 2021, a sixth and amended and restated promissory note was agreed with Canacol which includes that the new principal amount of the promissory note is $6,026,166 (including interest and fees), which bears interest at an annual rate of 15%, and includes the following repayment provisions:

• In the event that the Company does not complete a successful equity financing of $12,000,000 or more by September 30, 2021, the payment of the principal plus interest shall be made as follows:

• Two payments of $1,600,000 in cash due on July 30 and December 30, 2022; and

Q3 2021 MD&A

13

==> picture [143 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

• Issuance of common shares of the Company on July 30, 2022 for the remaining balance for an amount of shares resulting from Canacol having less than 19.9%, with any remainder payable in cash

• In the event that the Company completes a successful equity financing of $12,000,000 or more by September 30, 2021, the payment of the principal plus interest shall be made as follows:

• One payment of $3,200,000 in cash due 15 days from the financing closing date; and

• At the discretion of the Company, the balance shall be paid either in cash or by issuance of common shares of the Company for an amount of shares resulting from Canacol having less than 19.9%, and any remainder balance payable in cash.

The Company also commits to replace the letters of credit currently guaranteed by Canacol and, Canacol commits to absorb the Company’s commitments and balances related to the OBC pipeline dispute. The Company has granted a general security interest to Canacol for the obligations under the Promissory Note which will be subordinated to second position in the event the Company secures additional financing.

On October 18, 2021, a seventh amended and restated promissory note was entered into 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.

Letters of Credit

As 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 million has been guaranteed by Canacol. Under an agreement with Canacol, Canacol will continue to provide security for the LC’s providing that Arrow uses all reasonable efforts to replace the LC’s. In the event the Company fails to secure the renewal of the LC’s underlying the Company’s Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (“ANH”) guarantees, or any of them, the ANH could decide to cancel the underlying E&P 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.

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. During 2019, the Company, in conjunction with its partners, made application to cancel a further $15.5 million in commitments on the Macaya and Los Picachos blocks. This request was subsequently denied by the ANH. The remaining commitments are expected to be satisfied by means of seismic work, exploration drilling and farm-outs.

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. This agreement was part of Arrow’s acquisition of Carrao from Canacol. The Company in conjunction with Canacol, notified OBC to transfer title of the shares currently in the name of Canacol to Arrow. The transfer requires approval by OBC which at the date of this MD&A had not been received.

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. Under terms of the agreement, if the pipeline has not been operational for a period greater than Nine months then the ship or pay obligation may be cancelled.

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. Depending on the final outcome of this dispute, Arrow may be required to satisfy past and future ship or pay obligations.

Upon official transfer of ownership to Arrow and under the terms of the OBC agreement, Arrow may be required to provide financial support or guarantees for its proportionate equity interest in any future debt financings or cash calls undertaken by OBC. At the same time, Arrow would be entitled to dividends declared and paid by OBC based on its 0.5% ownership interest.

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.

Over the past quarters, the Company’s oil and natural gas sales have fluctuated due to changes in production, movements in the Brent benchmark oil price and fluctuations in realized oil price differentials. The Company's production levels in Colombia have been variable, with increases driven by additional crude oil from the RCE-1 well, partially offset by the sale of the Company’s interest in the VMM-2 and LLA-23 blocks, and natural declines on mature blocks. Trends in the Company’s net income (loss) are also impacted most significantly by financing costs, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and impairment of oil and gas properties, gains and losses from risk management activities.

OUTLOOK

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and, on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, combined with OPEC’s initial plan to increase global supply resulted in significant weakness and volatility in commodity prices in early 2020. The simultaneous demand and supply shocks have resulted in significant declines in product demand and pricing in the latter part of the first quarter and throughout the second and third quarter of 2020. Commodity prices began to recover in late 2020 and continued that recovery in early 2021. Although it is impossible to reliably estimate the impact of COVID-19, the pandemic is anticipated to have material effects on the Company’s 2021 financial results relative to 2020 and 2019.

In 2021 the Company is continuing to focus on improving its free cash flow by optimizing its sources of funds and reducing operating and administrative costs. During 2020, salaries, personnel benefits and office costs continued to be reduced, and the Company has made a significant improvement in operating costs and administrative expenses since then.

Following the closing of a financing, as announced by the Company on October 25, 2021, the Company is establishing plans for drilling at least two follow-up wells at Rio Cravo Este in 2022, subject to numerous factors such as rig availability , obtaining partner approval, among others. The Company is also establishing plans for drilling the Carrizales Norte-1 well on the Tapir Block.
