Cash flow positive in 2021

2020 was a turbulent year due to the Covid-19 crisis. The oil and gas industry saw an unprecedented drop in demand early in 2020. Whilst Atlantic Petroleum was mainly unaffected, as the Company has a very low cost base and no operating expenses, the situation did impact Orlando production and therefore cash flow from Orlando to Atlantic Petroleum was delayed.

I am pleased to state that cash flow from Orlando commenced in January of this year and we expect to be cash flow positive in 2021.

The board will prioritise a solution on the company debt. We are in a dialogue with the main creditors London Oil and Gas in Administration and Betri Banki. The aim is to restructure the company debt in 2021. This will depend on the general market conditions, but the board is expecting progress in 2021.

Atlantic Petroleum has no Capex budgeted for 2021, and our overhead costs have been cut to a bare minimum to ensure that our cash flow remains positive.

The value of the main asset, Orlando, has been adjusted to reflect lower reserves, lower than expected daily production and lower than expected prices. The asset still represents a significant value to Atlantic Petroleum.

Once the debt is resolved or refinanced the plan is to use the positive cashflow expected to grow the company again by looking to acquire a small development or production asset.

Ben Arabo Chairman of the Board 31st March 2021

The year 2020 was another challenging year for the oil & gas business and also for Atlantic Petroleum. The sharp oil price drop early in the year followed by a shut-down on the Orlando field led to a further delay in cash flow from Orlando. Cash flow was previously expected to commence early in 2020 but with the development in 2020 it did not commence until 2021.

During 2020 the Company has continued to reduce overhead costs to create a very low-cost base. General and administration costs in 2020 were DKK 2.5MM which is less than half of the general and administration cost in 2019.

The main focus os to get a solution on the bank debt from Betri Banki and the convertible debt from London Oil and Gas in Administration.

The Group has prepared financial projections for 2021 to quantify available cash to meet the Group's general and administrative costs, interest costs and working capital commitments. The Group expects to be cash flow positive in 2021.

The Orlando field production commenced in March 2019. Initial production proved significantly lower than the expected 10,000 bopd and has been around 2,750 bopd. Therefore the expected cashflow in 2020 did not materialise. The Group is cash generating as of January 2021.

The deferred consideration receivable is now valued at DKK 30.7MM. Further details on the deferred consideration receivable from the sale of Orlando is included in note 19 to the consolidated accounts.

The Company has written down the economic interest in the Pegasus West field to nil. The Company has not finished the review of the financial and legal implications of HALO's exit from the asset.

There is uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on a debt solution on the bank debt and the convertible debt. Although the outcome on a potential debt solution is uncertain, the Board believes that a solution is possible. For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In the event that the Group is unable to continue to trade, significant downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group's economic interest in the Orlando asset to present the value of these assets on a break up basis.

Mark T. Højgaard CEO Tórshavn 31st March 2021

Production from the Orlando field and a strengthened oil price is expected to produce stable cash flow in 2021 to further efforts to refinance the Company. A solution on the bank debt and the convertible loan facility from London Oil and Gas in Administration is the main priority in 2021.

Production albeit lower than initially expected is now generating cash to Atlantic Petroleum. Orlando was expected to deliver around 10,000 bopd when developed, but actual production has been around 2,750 bopd. Therefore cashflow did not commence in 2020 as anticipated. Atlantic Petroleum has been cash generating, from January 2021.

Pending a debt solution, the Group will be actively pursuing growth through participation in production or near production assets in low political risk countries in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Atlantic Petroleum Group comprises the Faroes based parent company P/F Atlantic Petroleum and its tree 100% owned subsidiaries in UK and Ireland.

P/F Atlantic Petroleum is listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen under the ticker ATLA DKK and on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker ATLA NOK however the Board has initiated the delisting of the secondary Listing on Oslo Børs on the basis of continued cost saving.

SECURING REMAINING VALUE

The strategy for 2021 will be to pursue near production or production opportunities in low political risk countries in the Northern Hemisphere.

As of January 1st 2021 the status of Group assets is:

Country License Field/Discovery/Prospect Company Equity Comments
Ireland SEL 2/07 Hook AP I 18.33% Comerciality being
Head/Dunmore/Helvick reassessed

PRODUCING ASSETS

The Group does not hold producing assets. The Group received a revenue share of 2% from the UK Orlando field, increasing to 4.35% when gross field production reaches 5MM barrels.

DEVELOPMENT & NEAR DEVELOPMENT

The Group holds no Development or near Development assets.

Atlantic Petroleum has no exploration activity planned for 2021 and does not consider exploration a fiscally acceptable risk fo the Group in the near future.

Financial Review

Going Concern

It was advised on the 22nd of March 2019 that LOG has entered into administration (an insolvency term within the United Kingdom) and will not advance further funds under the facility agreement.

The terms of the LOG facility restrict the Company from seeking alternate funding means, however it can be reported that these restrictions were lifted by LOG's administrators. Atlantic Petroleum has subsequently secured a bridging loan of DKK 6MM which has not been fully drawn.

A full solution on the debt situation has not been achieved, but it is a main priority in 2021.

The Board is of the opinion that a resolution on debt is the first step to address the deficiency in shareholders' funds. The Board intends to assess the need for additional equity once the debt situation is clearer, or potentially do so in combination with a debt resolution.

Nevertheless, the Company, its Board and Management are confident that a solution with regards to the facility provided by LOG and a solution on the bank debt can be achieved. This, combined with the expectation of positive cash flow from Orlando in 2021, means that the Board is of the view that the Company can proceed as a going concern business with shareholder value preserved.

The Orlando field production commenced in March 2019. Initial production proved significantly lower that the expected 10,000 bopd and has been around 2,750 bopd. Therefore the expected cashflow in 2020 did not materialise. Atlantic Petroleum is now cash generating.

The financial projections for 2021 indicate that the Company does not require additional funding in 2021. However, a solution on the bank debt and the convertible debt is required.

The deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field is currently valued at DKK 30.7MM.

Reserves are based on the information in the operators' latest annual accounts.

Based on this the reserves are estimated to 6.4 MMBbl.

Further details on the deferred consideration receivable from the sale of Orlando is included in note 19 to the consolidated accounts.

The Company has written down the economic interest in the Pegasus West field. The Company has not finished the review of the financial and legal implications of HALO's exit from the asset.

Accordingly, there is material uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on getting a solution on the debt.

Dialogue with LOG and Betri Banki is ongoing and although the outcome is uncertain, the Directors believe that the matter can be resolved so that the Group will be able to meet its obligations. For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In the event that a debt solution is not forthcoming, and the Group is unable to continue to trade, significant downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group's economic interest in the Orlando asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.

Risk Management

Evident from the preceding pages of this year's report, the challenges seen since 2015 have resulted in a stronger basis from which the Group can operate. However, this is clouded by the status of London Oil and Gas and its ability to honour its funding commitments. The Board will pursue an alternative arrangement to fill the future funding requirements alongside projected revenues in order to protect shareholder value.

Atlantic Petroleum is typically exposed to a number of different market and operational risks arising from core business activities. The risks can be internal as well as external in nature.

Market risks also include changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The changes can affect the value of the assets, liabilities and future cash flows.

Foreign currency

The Group reports in DKK, which means exchange rate exposure related to USD, GBP, NOK and EUR. Operational currency risks relate to oil sales, gas sales and operating costs. On the investment side, the Group is also exposed to fluctuations in USD, GBP, NOK and EUR exchange rates as the Group's most material investments in oil and gas assets are made in these currencies.

Credit risk

Where Atlantic Petroleum has sums deposited in short-term bank accounts in USD, GBP, NOK and DKK there may be a currency and a credit risk attached to such cash balances (bank deposits).

Operational risk

Through its core business Atlantic Petroleum may become exposed to operational risk including the possibility that the Group may experience, among other things, a loss in oil and gas production or an offshore catastrophe. The Company works with and will monitor operators and partners to ensure that HSE and asset integrity are given the highest priority. The Group also has an insurance programme in place to cover the potential impact of any catastrophic events.

Atlantic Petroleum has traditionally operated in the, United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and Norway and the political climate in these countries is perceived as being stable.

Insurance

The Group had in place an insurance package covering equipment, subsurface facilities and operation and as and when required, the Group had insurance cover on offshore pollution and third party liability.

In view of the Company having relinquished its last operational license in the UK and as the licenses in Irish waters are not yet subject to appraisal or development the Company has, as a cost reducing level and based on advice, decided to suspend the above elements of its programme for 2020.

The Company does however continue to hold coverage that includes business interruption coverage, covering a proportion of the cash flow arising from revenue producing fields. Atlantic Petroleum has in addition an insurance covering office and staff.

The Group is confident that its insurance policies cover the overall insurance requirement of the current business and provides insurance cover for the Group's general and standard risk exposure in relation to property damage, personal injury and liability.

REMUNERATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND THE EXECUTIVE BOARD:

Whilst the undernoted Group remuneration policies remain, they were in effect suspended throughout 2020 given the market conditions, the challenges facing the Group and the downsizing activities undertaken. The key actions on remuneration in 2020 were, where-ever possible, to freeze management and staff salaries and board fees, make no bonus award nor make any LTIP awards for 2020.

Remuneration Policy

Remuneration to the members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board is on the same level as comparable companies in order to attract, retain and motivate the members of the Supervisory Board.

Remuneration Policy for Senior Executives of Atlantic Petroleum

Overall Aim

The aim of Atlantic Petroleum's (the "Company") Remuneration Policy for senior executives is to provide a reward framework which ensures that key executives are appropriately attracted, retained and motivated and which is fit for purpose in the markets in which the Company operates and where it and its peer groups are listed.

Remuneration Strategy

The Company's remuneration strategy is to provide a competitive remuneration package which rewards Directors and employees fairly and responsibly for their contributions and aims to deliver superior remuneration for superior performance.

The total reward package will consist of elements such as Salary, Annual Performance Bonuses, Long Term Incentives and Pension Contributions and Other Benefits.

The guiding principles behind the setting and implementation of this policy are that:

Balanced

There should be an appropriate balance between fixed and performance-related elements and the provision of equity over the longer-term and which focuses executives on delivering the business strategy;

Competitive

Remuneration packages should be sufficiently competitive taking into account the level of remuneration paid in respect of comparable positions in similar companies within the industry;

Equitable

There should be an appropriate level of gearing in the package to ensure that executives receive an appropriate proportion of the value created for shareholders while taking into account pay and conditions throughout the remainder of the Group and where the Company operates and is listed;

Risk-weighted

Remuneration should not raise environmental, social or governance risks by inadvertently motivating irresponsible behaviour. More generally, the overall remuneration policy should not encourage inappropriate operational risk; and

Aligned

Executives will be encouraged to build a meaningful holding in the Company to further align their interests with those of shareholders.

The Remuneration Committee will review on an annual basis whether its remuneration policy remains appropriate for the relevant financial year. Factors taken into account by the Remuneration Committee will include:

  • overall corporate performance;
  • market conditions affecting the Company;

Non-Executive Directors Fees

The Non-Executive Director ("NED") fees will be structured as follows:

  • A base fee will be paid for carrying out day to day duties as an NED; and
  • Additional fees will be provided for extra responsibilities, for example chairing the Audit, Nominations or Remuneration committees.

Our qualified opinion

In our opinion, the Annual and Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the paragraph "Basis for qualified opinion" give a true and fair view of the Parent Company's and the Group's financial position at 31 December 2020 and of the results of the Parent Company's and the Group's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Business Act.

What we have audited

The Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements of Atlantic Petroleum P/F for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 which comprise the income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including summary of significant accounting policies for the Group as well as for the Parent Company and cash flow statement for the Group. Collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements".

Basis for qualified opinion

We have been unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the estimates made by management regarding the deferred consideration receivable held at 31 December 2020, which is included in the balance sheet, in the line item Other Receivables at 30,7 mDKK and relates to the production of the Orlando field. These estimates have been disclosed in note 19 and are based on information received from the annual report of Decipher Energy dated 20 November 2020, in which it is advised, that the production profile of the Orlando well is depending on a workover, to which funding has been obtained form the parent company subject to investor approval. Failure to secure funding may seriously impede the operator's ability to remain a Going Concern, and the production from the Orlando Field may be significantly delayed.

Atlantic Petroleum is no longer a joint venture partner of the Orlando field and, therefore, management are no longer party to the Operator's recent reports and production models relating to the 2P recoverable reserves and the future production profile.

As we are unable to substantiate the basic assumption on which the valuation is based, we are unable to provide an opinion on the deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field, included in the line item Other Receivables, and the possible effects hereof.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA's) and the additional requirements applicable in the Faroe Islands. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

Apart from the for possible effects of the matter described above in our "Basis for qualified opinion", we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material uncertainty regarding Going Concern

As the board and management have stated in note 1.1 to the annual accounts, the group's primary source of funding, London Oil and Gas, is in administration, and the company is temporarily funded by short term bridge funding.

As described in note 1.1, the group's going concern status is depending on the groups ability to obtain positive cash flow in the near future, of which the contingent receivables from Orlando field are a main factor. We have not been able to obtain substantiate the valuation or timing of the future royalty payments and there remains a significant uncertainty in this regard.

Further the Group's Going Concern status is depending on whether the company can successfully renegotiate the company's debts, including a moratorium either alone or in combination with debt relief. The debt negotiations are not concluded, and there is a material uncertainty relation to these negotiations.

Without qualifying our opinion, we emphasise, that these issues give reason for material uncertainty relating to the group's status as a going concern, and should they turn out unsuccessful, the Group may have to halt operations, and further impairments on the company's assets must be expected.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements in Denmark and the Faroe Islands. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2020. During our audit we identified Going Concern and Sale of Development Facilities as Key Audit Matters.

Our audit of Sale of Development Facilities, entered to the line item "Other Receivables", led us to qualify our opinion regarding value measurement of the deferred consideration receivable. Further we found it appropriate to provide information regarding material uncertainty relation to the parent company's and the Groups ability to continue as Going Concern.

Hence do not provide information regarding Key Audit Matters and refer to the paragraphs "Basis for qualified opinion" and "Material uncertainty regarding Going Concern" above.

Statement on Management's Review

Management is responsible for Management's Review.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any kind of assurance opinion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Further it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the international Financial Reporting standards as adopted by the EU.

Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, except for the possible effects of our qualification in the paragraph "Basis for qualified opinion" above, and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Management's responsibilities for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Business Act and for the preparation of Parent Company and Group Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Parent Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in the Faroe Islands will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in the Faroes Islands, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Note 1.1 Going Concern

It was advised on the 22nd of March 2019 that LOG has entered into administration (an insolvency term within the United Kingdom) and will not advance further funds under the facility agreement.

The terms of the LOG facility restrict the Company from seeking alternate funding means, however it can be reported that these restrictions were lifted by LOG's administrators. Atlantic Petroleum has subsequently secured a bridging loan of DKK 6MM which has not been fully drawn.

A full solution on the debt situation has not been achieved, but it is a main priority in 2021.

The Board is of the opinion that a resolution on debt is the first step to address the deficiency in shareholders' funds. The Board intends to assess the need for additional equity once the debt situation is clearer, or potentially do so in combination with a debt resolution.

Nevertheless, the Company, its Board and Management are confident that a solution with regards to the facility provided by LOG and a solution on the bank debt can be achieved. This, combined with the expectation of positive cash flow from Orlando in 2021, means that the Board is of the view that the Company can proceed as a going concern business with shareholder value preserved.

The Orlando field production commenced in March 2019. Initial production proved significantly lower that the expected 10,000 bopd and has been around 2,750 bopd. Therefore the expected cashflow in 2020 did not materialise. Atlantic Petroleum is now cash generating.

The financial projections for 2021 indicate that the Company does not require additional funding in 2021. However, a solution on the bank debt and the convertible debt is required.

The deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field is currently valued at DKK 30.7MM.

Reserves are based on the information in the operators' latest annual accounts.

Baesed on this the reserves are estimated to 6.4 MMBbl.

Further details on the deferred consideration receivable from the sale of Orlando is included in note 19 to the consolidated accounts.

The Company has written down the economic interest in the Pegasus West field. The Company has not finished the review of the financial and legal implications of HALO's exit from the asset.

Accordingly, there is material uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on getting a solution on the debt.

Dialogue with LOG and Betri Banki is ongoing and although the outcome is uncertain, the Directors believe that the matter can be resolved so that the Group will be able to meet its obligations. For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In the event that a debt solution is not forthcoming, and the Group is unable to continue to trade, significant downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group's economic interest in the Orlando asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.

Note 1.2 Corporate information

The consolidated financial statements of the Group, which comprise P/F Atlantic Petroleum, as the parent, and all its subsidiaries, for the year ended 31st December 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 31st March 2021.

P/F Atlantic Petroleum is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the Faroe Islands and listed on the exchanges on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen and Oslo Stock Exchange. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are Oil & Gas exploration, appraisal, development and production in the Faroe Islands, United Kingdom, Norway, and Ireland. Financial statements for the Group's ultimate parent are presented on the Group's website: www.petroleum.fo.

2.1 Basis of preparation

Accounting Convention

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the Council of the European Union (EU) and the additional Danish disclosure requirements according to the Faroese Company Accounts Act, the financial reporting requirements of NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen and Oslo Stock Exchange for listed companies.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis and fair value conventions on the basis of the accounting policies set out below. The consolidated financial statements are presented in DKK and all values rounded to the nearest thousand, except where othewise indicated.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of P/F Atlantic Petroleum and entities controlled by P/F Atlantic Petroleum (its subsidiaries) made up at the end of each accounting period.

Control is achieved where P/F Atlantic Petroleum has the power to control the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The interests in the subsidiaries are eliminated with the Parent Company's proportionate ratio of the fair value of the subsidiaries assets, liabilities and provisions measured at the date of acquisition or establishment of the subsidiary.

2.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Estimation uncertainty

Determining the carrying amount of some assets and liabilities requires estimation of the effects of future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

In the opinion of Atlantic Petroleum's management, the following estimates and associated judgements are material for the financial reporting:

• determination of underground oil and gas reserves. The assessment of reserves is a complex process involving various parameters such as analysis of geological data, commercial aspects, etc., each of which is subject to uncertainty. The assessment is material to the determination of the recoverable amount and depreciation profile for oil and gas assets,

• determination of the recoverable amount and depreciation profile for production assets. Determination of the recoverable amount is based on assumptions concerning future earnings, oil prices, interest rate levels, etc., each of which is subject to uncertainty. The depreciation profile has been determined on the basis of the expected use of the production assets, and is consequently subject to the same risks relating to reserves, future earnings, etc., as apply to the determination of the value of the production assets,

• determination of the deferred consideration receivable. The assesment is based on a production profile based on 2P Reserves (mid-point on Operators 2018 revenue estimate and 2014 Competent Persons Report); and Discount factor of 10% based on current cost of capital to the Atlantic Petroleum Group.

• determination of abandonment obligations. Provisions for abandonment obligations are subject to particular uncertainty as far as concerns the determination of the costs associated with removal of the production assets, and the timing of the removal,

• and assessment of contingent liabilities and assets.

The estimates applied are based on assumptions which are sound, in management's opinion, but which, by their nature, are uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and unforeseen events or circumstances may occur. Moreover, the Atlantic Petroleum Group is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from these estimates. Special risks for the Atlantic Petroleum Group are described in the section Director's Report under Risk Management.

Assumptions for forward-looking statements and other estimation uncertainties at the balance sheet date that involve a considerable risk of changes that may lead to a material adjustment in the carrying amount of assets or liabilities within the coming financial year are disclosed in the notes.

The Group's intangible exploration and evaluation assets, amounts to DKK 0MM (2019: DKK 0MM) and the Group's development and production assets amounts to DKK 0MM at 31st December 2020 (2019: DKK 0MM). The Group's abandonment obligations as of 31st December 2020 amounts to DKK 11.7MM (2019: DKK 11.8MM).

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies

Interest in Joint Ventures

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control.

Acquisitions of oil and gas properties are accounted for under the purchase method where the transaction meets the definition of a business combination. Transactions involving the purchases of an individual field interest, or a group of field interests, that do not qualify as a business combination are treated as asset purchases, irrespective of whether the specific transactions involved the transfer of the field interests directly or the transfer of an incorporated entity. Accordingly no goodwill and no deferred tax gross up arises, and the consideration is allocated to the assets and liabilities purchased on an appropriate basis.

Proceeds on disposal are applied to the carrying amount of the specific exploration and evaluation asset or development and production asset disposed of and any surplus is recorded as a gain on disposal in the income statement.

Investments in joint ventures are recognised by proportionate consolidation at the share of the jointly controlled assets and liabilities, classified by nature, and the share of revenue from the sale of the joint product, along with the share of the expenses incurred by the jointly controlled operation. Liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of the jointly controlled operation are also recognised.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

For each individual entity, which is recognised in the consolidated accounts, a functional currency is determined in which the entity measures its results and financial position. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in other currencies than the functional currency are transactions in a foreign currency.

A foreign currency transaction is, on initial recognition, recorded in the functional currency, at the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency on the date of the transaction.

At each balance sheet date receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency using the closing rate.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items, at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements, shall be recognised in the income statement under financial revenues and expenses.

On consolidation the results and financial position of the Group's individual entities with different functional currencies than the Group's presentation currency (DKK) are translated into the Group's presentation currency using the following procedure:

  • Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet.
  • Income and expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

All resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in equity as a separate component of equity.

For practical reasons an average rate for the period that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions is used.

Income Statement

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, sales taxes, excise duties and similar levies. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.

Sale of hydrocarbons is recognised when transfer of risk to the buyer has taken place. Sale of hydrocarbons is measured at fair value and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales comprises cost directly related to the operation of oilfields, cost of goods sold, depreciations, lease payments and other costs related to the operation of producing oil fields. Rentals payable for assets under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impairment of development and production assets is also recognised here.

Pre-licence Exploration Cost

Pre-licence exploration expenses comprise cost incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area and other general exploration costs which are not specifically directed to a licence and economic use is of less than a year.

Exploration Expenses

Exploration expenses comprise the cost of the impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and relinquishment cost.

General and Administration Cost

Administrative expenses comprise employment costs to the management and administration, staff, depreciations and other costs related to the general administration of the Group.

Financial Income and Expenses

Financial income and expenses comprise interests, currency differences, dividend income from investments and amortisation of financial assets and liabilities.

Taxation

Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off corporation tax assets against corporation tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Statement of Financial Position

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Items of intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to the income statement under General and Administration costs item on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Office equipment 3 – 10 years

Scrap value 0%

The residual value is reassessed annually.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The Group applies the successful efforts method of accounting for Exploration and Evaluation (E&E) costs, having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.

Under the successful efforts method of accounting all licence acquisition, exploration and appraisal costs are initially capitalised at cost in well, field or specific exploration cost centres as appropriate, pending determination. Expenditure, incurred during the various exploration and appraisal phases, is then written off unless commercial reserves have been established or the determination process has not been completed.

The amounts capitalised include payments to acquire the legal right to explore, licence fees, cost of technical services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploratory drilling and testing and other directly attributable cost.

Finance costs that are directly attributable to E&E assets are capitalised in accordance with IAS 23. In the Parent Company these costs are expensed to the Income Statement.

Cost incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area (pre-licence cost) are expensed directly to the income statement under Pre-licence exploration cost as they have incurred.

E&E assets are not amortised prior to the conclusion of appraisal activities.

Intangible E&E assets related to each exploration licence/prospect are carried forward, until the existence (or otherwise) of commercial reserves has been determined subject to certain limitations including review for indications of impairment. Every year or if there otherwise are indications of impairment the assets will be tested for impairment. Where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment, E&E assets are written down accordingly, through the Income Statement under Exploration Expenses.

If commercial reserves have been discovered and a field development plan has been approved by the authorities, the carrying value of the relevant E&E asset is reclassified as a tangible asset, development and production asset. Before the reclassification the asset will be tested for indications of impairment. If however, commercial reserves have not been found, the capitalised cost are charged to the profit and loss account under Exploration Expenses after conclusion of appraisal activities.

Tangible Assets

Development and Production Assets

Development and production assets are accumulated generally on a field by field basis and represent the cost of developing the commercial reserves discovered and bringing them into production, together with the E&E expenditures incurred in finding commercial reserves transferred from intangible E&E assets as outlined in the accounting policy for E&E assets above.

The cost of development and production assets also includes the cost of acquisitions and purchases of such assets, directly attributable overheads, finance costs capitalised, and the cost of recognising provisions for future restoration and decommissioning. In the Parent Company finance costs are expensed to the profit and loss account.

The net book values of producing assets are depreciated generally on a field-by-field basis using the unit-ofproduction (UOP) method by reference to the ratio of production in the period and the related commercial reserves of the field.

An impairment test is performed once a year or whenever events and circumstances arising during the development or production phase indicate that the carrying value of a development or production asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

The carrying value is compared against the expected recoverable amount of the asset, generally by reference to the present value of the future net cash flows, derived from expected production of commercial reserves.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement under the relevant item. The cash-generating unit applied for impairment test purposes is generally the field, except that a number of field interests may be grouped as a single cash-generating unit where the cash flows of each field are interdependent. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

The depreciation and impairment are charged to the Income Statement under Cost of sales.

Decommissioning

Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full when the liability occurs. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure. A corresponding tangible fixed asset is also created at an amount equal to the provision. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital costs of the production facilities. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the fixed asset.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged to the income statement under General and Administration costs item on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Operating assets and office equipment 3 – 10 years.

Scrap value 0%

The residual value is reassessed annually.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised costs and are reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

Bank Deposits (Cash and Cash-Equivalents)

Cash and cash equivalent includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with maturity dates of less than three months.

Equity, Translation Reserve

The translation reserve comprises foreign exchange rate adjustments arising on translation of the financial statements of foreign entities with a functional currency that is different from the presentation currency (DKK) of Atlantic Petroleum Group.

Bank Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Other Payables

Other payables are stated at their nominal value.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. Included in the item Provisions is provision for decommissioning costs.

Segment Reporting

In the opinion of the directors the operations of the Group comprise one class of business, the production and sale of hydrocarbons. Its primary segment reporting will be by geographical region.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method and presents cash flow from operations, investments and financing activities.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are presented using the indirect method, whereby the net profit or loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, accruals, tax-payments and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.

Cash Flow from Investment Activities

Cash flows from investment activities comprises cash flows in conjunction with buying and selling entities and activities, buying and selling intangible, tangible and other non-current assets and buying and selling securities which are not recognised as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities comprise the raising of new share capital and loans, amortisation on loans and payment of dividends.

16 Oil and gas – Tangible development and production assets

Depreciation and amortisation for oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit-of-production basis, using the ratio of oil and gas production in the period to the estimated quantities of proved and probable reserves at the end of the period plus production in the period, on a field-by-field basis. Proved and probable reserve estimates are based on a number of techniques to generate its estimates and regularly references its estimates against those of joint venture partners or external consultants. However, the amount of reserves that will ultimately be recovered from any field cannot be known with certainty until the end of the field's life.

The carrying values of the trade and other receivables are equal to their fair value as at the balance sheet date.

Orlando deferred consideration

By order of the Danish Supervisory Body (Erhvervsstyrelsen), the financial statements for 2017 were amended, to recognize the deferred consideration receivable from the sale of Orlando. Which at the time was evaluated at 144.0 MM DKK.

Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement regarding Orlando, APNS is due to receive deferred considerations equalling 2% of the sale proceeds from the first 5,000,000 barrels of Orlando petroleum and an amount equalling 4.35% of the Orlando petroleum in excess of the first 5,000,000 barrels.

The deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field is currently valued at DKK 30.7MM.

Reserves are based on the information in the operators' latest annual accounts.

Based on this the reserves are estimated to 6.4 MMBbl.

Production rates are based on a 21% decline profile with initial production at 10,000 bopd, however as a result of issues with the upper completion, peak rates have been restricted to around 5,000 bopd. The actual production has been around 2,750 bopd.

The valuation is therefore based on a production of 2,750 bopd until the total production equals the total production by the original profile when declined to 2,750 bopd.

Oil price is based on Brent crude futures at 31st December 2020.

Exchange rates are based on exchange rates at 31st December 2020

Pegasus deferred consideration

Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement regarding Pegasus, APUK is due to receive differed milestone payments:

  • £2.5MM to be paid on Pegasus West FDP approval;
  • £2.5MM to be paid on Pegasus West first gas; and
  • £4.0MM to be paid on any subsequent FDP approval on the 3 licenses sold.

As of 25th November 2018, FDP has been submitted by the Licence Partners. Following HALO's exit from the asset, The Company has written down the economic interest in the Pegasus West field to nil. The Company has not finished the review of the financial and legal implications of HALO's exit from the asset.

The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to the oil and gas interests, which are expected to be incurred between 2021 and 2031. These provisions have been created based on operators' estimates. Based on the current economic environment, assumptions have been made which the management believe are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required, which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.

Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at economically viable rates. This in turn will depend upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.
