September 30, 2020
(expressed in Canadian dollars) (unaudited)
1. Nature of operations United Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. (the “Company”) is a public company engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 22, 2008 and was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on January 23, 2020. The Company’s registered office is located at 400 - 725 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1G5.
Letter of intent for a proposed transaction
On August 7, 2020, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Bocana Resources Ltd. ("Bocana"), which sets forth the general terms and conditions of a proposed reverse takeover transaction (the "Proposed Transaction").
Bocana is a private corporation incorporated under the CBCA and carrying on business as a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Bolivia. Bocana, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Huiracocha International Service SRL, holds a 100% working interest in the mineral properties known as the Escala Area Concessions located at the Department of Potosi, Sud Lipez Province, Bolivia and has pending additional applications with the Corporación Minera de Bolivia to acquire the mining rights to two additional concession areas, also in the Sud Lipez Province of Bolivia. The Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company owns approximately 15.57% of the outstanding common shares of Bocana.
Under the terms of the LOI, it is anticipated that the Company and Bocana will enter into the Definitive Agreement pursuant to which the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement, amalgamation, or alternate structure to be determined, a business combination by way of a share exchange, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, or other similar form of transaction, whereby the outstanding common shares, stock options and warrants of the Company and Bocana will be exchanged on a 1:1 basis for an equivalent security of the resulting issuer.
Upon execution of the LOI, the Company advanced an unsecured loan $20,000 to Bocana (“Bocana Debt”).
The board of directors of the Company has approved extending the completion of the Proposed Transaction from November 30, 2020 to April 30, 2021. The Proposed Transaction is subject to the following conditions:
-
a) satisfactory completion of due diligence;
-
b) execution of the Definitive Agreement;
-
c) Bocana completing a private placement of up to 5,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per common share for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (“Bocana Offering”);
-
d) Upon completion of the Bocana Offering, the Company or Bocana completing a private placement of common shares at a price of at least $0.10 per common share on terms satisfactory to the Company and Bocana;
-
e) forgiveness of the debts of Bocana that were outstanding on the date of the LOI;
-
f) approval by the directors of the Company and Bocana;
-
g) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange;
-
h) shareholder approval.
The Company continues to work with Bocana towards a binding Definitive Agreement and meeting all of the above conditions to the LOI.
2. Going-concern
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
5
The Company is in the exploration stage and has no revenue. During the 9 months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $201,368 (2019 - $174,311) and as at that date, the Company had accumulated deficit of $13,038,560 (December 31, 2019 - $12,837,193), working capital deficit of $172,288 (December 31, 2019 - $325,723) and cash flow deficit from operations of $162,871 (2019 - $101,466). The losses, accumulated deficit and cash flow deficit from operations limit the Company’s ability to meet its existing obligations and fund its working capital requirements and the costs to complete and finance the Proposed Transaction, or alternatively, the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization assessed the coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. In Canada, the Government of Ontario declared an emergency under s7.0.1(1) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act on March 17, 2020 with respect to COVID-19. As of the date of these financial statements, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and dependent upon new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and actions taken to contain this or its impact, among others.
The continued operation of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to secure equity financing to meet its existing obligations and finance the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The Company is actively seeking to raise the necessary equity financing, however, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results cannot be predicted with certainty. The economic instability and reduction in oil prices as a result of COVID-19 means there can be no assurance that additional equity financing will be available. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

7. Determination of fair values
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable
The fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable approximates their carrying value due to their short term to maturity.
Classification of fair value of financial instruments
The Company classified the fair value of its financial instruments measured at fair value according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
-
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
-
Level 2 - inputs, other than the quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
-
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
The Company does not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.
8. Financial risk management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks that arise as a result of its exploration, development, production and financing activities, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
The Board of Directors oversees management's establishment and execution of the Company's risk management framework. Management has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Company's activities.
7
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from the Company’s cash. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of cash. The Company’s limits its exposure to credit risk on its cash by holding its cash in deposits with high credit quality Canadian chartered banks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial liabilities that are settled in cash or other financial assets. The Company intends to meet its current obligations in the following year with funds to be raised through private placements, shares for debt settlements and related party loans. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they come due. The amounts for accounts payable and accrued liabilities are subject to normal trade terms. As the Company is in the exploration stage and does not generate revenue, the Company’s operation is dependent upon the Company’s ability to secure equity financing to meet its existing obligation and finance the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its financial instruments.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company due to a change in foreign exchange rates. The majority of the Company’s cash is held in Canadian dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises as the Company makes expenditures denominated in US dollars and at September 30, 2020, the Company had accounts payable of US$175,000 (December 31, 2019 - US$115,155). If the foreign exchange rate related to the Company’s US dollar balances increased or decreased by 10%, with all other variables held constant, accounts payable would have increased or decreased by $23,343 (December 31, 2019 - $11,516).
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. However, management of the Company believes there is no significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations due to the limited number of transactions conducted in US dollars.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company due to a change in interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited due to the short-term nature of its financial instruments. In addition, loans payable bore interest at fixed rates of interest.
Capital management
Capital of the Company consists of share capital, contributed surplus and deficit. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can acquire, explore and develop mineral resource properties for the benefit of its shareholders. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on the funds available to the Company in light of changes in economic conditions. The Board of Directors has not established quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain the future development of the Company. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that consider various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
The Company’s principal source of capital is from the issue of common shares and loans payable. In order to achieve its objectives, the Company intends to raise additional funds as required.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
