NON-IFRS MEASURES

Sometimes the Company may use terms for measurement within the MD&A that do not have a standardized prescribed meaning under IFRS and these measurements may differ from other companies and accordingly may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. If such terms are used, in addition to profit and loss and cash flow from operating activities as defined by IFRS, they are used as additional tools for evaluating TAPC’s operating performance and will be defined where used.

BOE Conversion (51-101 Advisory)

In accordance with National Instrument 51-101, Standards for Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities (“ NI 51101 ”), petroleum and natural gas reserves and volumes are converted to an equivalent measurement basis referred to as a “barrel of oil equivalent” (“ boe ”) on the basis of 6 thousand cubic feet of natural gas equal to 1 barrel of oil. This conversion is based on an energy equivalency conversion method applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

1. Description of Business

TAPC is a Calgary-based junior oil and gas exploration company operating in Western Canada. Canadian oil operations are carried on in the name of TAPC. TAPC had two subsidiaries at year end. TAPC owned two wholly owned subsidiaries: (a) Jadela Oil (US) Operating LLC (“ Jadela US ”); and (b) Waskahigan Oil & Gas Corp (“WOGC”) (formerly Jadela Disposal Well Corp) (“ JDWC ”). WOGC has a 22% co-ownership interest in a disposal well in Ft. Nelson, British Columbia. On January 12, 2021, WOGC incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary called Odaat Oil Corp (“ Odaat ”). The focus for TAPC in 2021 will be to acquire producing oil and gas assets in the Canadian Western Sedimentary Basin.

Jadela US had acquired rights by way of mineral lease or options to acquire mineral leases to exploit oil and gas mineral rights in Maverick County, Texas. As of December 31, 2015, all of the oil and gas mineral lease rights had expired. Commencing on that date, as Jadela US no longer has oil and gas properties in Texas, the previous United States segment has been treated as discontinued operations and removed from current and comparative period results throughout this MD&A. All tables, except those expressly described as discontinued operations, contain information from TAPC’s continuing operations only.

On July 31, 2017, the Corporation completed the purchase of certain oil and gas producing assets (the " Waskahigan Acquisition ") in the Waskahigan area of Alberta (the " Waskahigan Assets ").

The Waskahigan Acquisition included 8 wells and associated production of approximately 1,800 mcf/d of dry sweet natural gas and 17 barrels of natural gas liquids per day. TAPC acquired mineral rights to 22 gross sections (15.19 net sections) (14,080 gross acres 9,726 net acres). The majority of the mineral rights are above Bullhead Bullhead Group formation (primarily Dunvegan, Notikewin and Gething formation) near Fox Creek, Alberta. TAPC has identified drilling locations on the lands acquired and has plans to increase production upon natural gas prices improving. The Company acquired oil and gas assets of $1,577,590 and asset retirement liabilities of $324,664 for a final adjusted purchase price for the Waskahigan Assets of $1,252,926 which includes customary purchase adjustments. The transactions costs incurred on the acquisition of $52,500 were expensed. This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which only includes operating results subsequent to the date of acquisition. The fair value of the P &NG purchases has been determined with reference to an independent reserve report and equates the purchase price above. The fair value of the ARO was initially estimated using a credit adjusted rate of 13 %.

The calculation of the final statement of adjustments is set out below:

$
Purchase Price:
P&NG Rights 1,120,000
Tangibles 279,990
Miscellaneous Interest 10
GST on Tangible 14,000
Total Purchase Price 1,414,000
Interest 9,528
Net Operating Income (257,412)
P&NG Rental Payments 6,230
Surface Rental Payments 6,898

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan and Participation Agreement with Smoky Oil & Gas Corp (“ Smoky ”) and 1454871 Alberta Ltd (“ 1454871 ”) (formerly Batoche Oil & Gas Exploration Ltd. which are related companies by way of common directors and officers. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Participation Agreement (“ LPA ”), Smoky lent the Company the sum of $1,326,593 to make the acquisition of the Waskahigan Assets. The interest rate on the loan principal is 6% per annum. All obligation owing are secured by a general security agreement charging all of the assets of the Company.

The loan is a related party loan. For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2017 (as restated) and 2018 the interest rate charged on the loan was deemed to be below the interest market rate which was estimated to be 15%. The expected future cash flows from the loan were discounted by 15% and the resulting difference of $491,920 between the fair value of the loan and the face value was charged to contributed surplus when the loan was initially recognized. On May 6, 2019 the LPA was amended and the loan was converted to a demand loan. When the loan was modified to a demand loan, for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2019 the entire value became a current liability and was required to be shown at face value which resulted in a $399,408 loss on the modification of the debt which was included in profit and loss. Subsequent to the modification of the loan, the interest on the loan will be recorded at the 6% stated rate from the loan agreement rather than the 15% market rate. On September 18, 2020, the LPA was amended again to reinstate terms from the original contract that were previously modified. They changes reinstated the restriction to charging a maximum of $75,000 per year for general and administration costs for the administration of the Waskahigan Assets and $75,000 per year for the administration of the Waskahigan Participation Assets. As the Company has had general and administrative charges in excess of this maximum, the Company is currently not in compliance with the terms of the loan.

2. Consolidated Financial Results for the Twelve Month Period Ended December 31, 2020

The Company incurred a net loss for the twelve months ended December, 2020 of $143,191 (2019 – $524,157). Depletion and depreciation was $101,980 (2019 - $150,703) and accretion was $51,296 (2019 - $50,128). The sum of $399,408 of the $524,157 loss in 2019 was a result of an accounting journal entry correcting an accounting adjustment made in fiscal period ended December 31, 2018. The operating profit (excluding deletion and depreciation, accretion and the 2019 accounting entry) was $10,085 (2019 - $76,082).

Current liabilities exceeded current assts by $1,511,473 ($1,722,749-$211,276)(2019 - $1,319,323). Included in current liabilities for 2020 is the debt due to Smoky (a non arms length party) of $1,152,000. The loan was advanced in July 31, 2017. The loan has not been called. The loan is in the current liability section because it is a demand loan. Included in current liabilities is ARO of $288,902 (2019-65,501). The current portion of the ARO increased because of an accounting policy change to the amortization rate from 6% risk adjusted to 0.25% risk free rate which resulted in an increase of the current liabilities of $223,401. Current liabilities excludes $210,883 in deposits with oil and gas regulatory authorities to satisfy ARO obligations. If you exclude the Smoky loan, deferred revenue and the ARO from current liabilities, then the accounts payable exceed the current assets by $59,970 in 2020 and the current assets exceeded the accounts payable by $57,644 in 2019.

The Company made all of its interest payments in 2020 and reduced the debt by $153,624 in 2020.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

Activities in 2020

(a) Waskahigan Assets

TAPC bought the Waskahigan Assets on July 31, 2017. There were no purchases in 2020.

(b) Land – Maverick County – Texas 660 Acres Earned on Drilling El Indio #1H

Jadela US acquired its rights through a series of agreements with El Indio Investment Corp (“ EIIC ”), a company owned by an officer and director of the Company, which in turn entered into a series of agreements with respect to the mineral rights under a 5,576 acre tract in Maverick County, Texas. EIIC entered into a farmout agreement (“ EIIC/RA Farmout Agreement ”) with two private companies (“ RA/CMR ”) to farmin to 5,576 gross acres (net 4,915 acres) which had been leased by RA/CMR from: (a) Cinco 1994 Family Limited Partnership Ltd. (“Cinco”); (b) a lessor which owned approximately 673 net acres within the 5,576 acre tract; and (c) 8 other mineral lessors which owned approximately 160 net acres within the 5,576 acre tract. Pursuant to the EIIC/RA Farmout Agreement, EIIC has earned a 87.5% working interest in 660 acres (“ 660 Acre Lands ”) as a result of drilling a 2,400 foot horizontal well called El Indio #1H. Jadela US entered into a sub-farmout agreement with EIIC (“ Sub-Farmout Agreement”) to earn a 65% interest . The 660 Acre Lands lease has been terminated by the Lessor because the company has not produced the minimum required production. The Company plans to abandon the well in the fourth quarter of 2021.

(c) Cinco Lands

As of December 31, 2014, Jadela US had acquired rights to explore for oil and gas under oil and gas mineral leases in approximately 6,468 gross acres (355 net acres)(“ Cinco Lands ”) These leases expired on November 30, 2015. Strata-X Energy Ltd. drilled a vertical wells on the Cinco Option Lands in the fourth quarter of 2013 (Saus Creek #1) preserving 40 acres of the leases. The well is on jointly held property. Jadela has a 3.125% working interest. Jadela was served with an AFE for approximately $2,500,000 to earn its proportional share of the 40 acres. The Company elected not to participate in the well. The well has not been completed. It is expected that Strata-X Energy Ltd. will abandon the well and surrender the 40 acres in 2020.

As at December 31, 2014 the carrying value on the 660 Acre Lands, Cinco Lands and the related downhole and surface well equipment was approximately $60,000 which is included in Exploration and Evaluation Assets. The assets were written off in 2015. The Company has a deposit with the Texas Railroad Commission of $25,000. The Company has unpaid receivables to a non-operator joint venturer in excess of $20,000 US which are not reflected in the balance sheet as assets. It is estimated that the cost to abandon the well and remediate the well site will be approximately $52,000US. The Company is responsible for 65% of the cost. It is likely the Company will have to sue one of its non-operator joint venturer to pay for unpaid receivables and their proportionate share of the abandonment and remediation.

3. Oil & Gas Production

(a) Processing Plant Closure - Low AECO Natural Gas Price in shutting in Production

TAPC has 5 wells which flow into the processing plant in Deep Valley owned by Paramount Resources Ltd. (“ Paramount ”) The plant was closed May 31, 2020 to make repairs. Two other producers produce into the plant. Murphy Oil Company (“ Murphy ”) and Cequence Energy Ltd (“ Cequence ”) shut their production in in April 2020. Cequence filed for creditor protection on May 29, 2020. Murphy announced they are closing their Calgary office. Because Paramount is looking to TAPC, Cequence and Murphy to pay for repair costs it is uncertain how long the plant will remain closed.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

There are many factors influencing the drop in sales prices for AECO natural gas prices and price differential, including: (a) pipeline construction by Trans Canada Pipelines Ltd. (“TCPL”); (b) excess supply of Canadian gas; (c) lack of take-away capacity in Canada; (d) increased production in the US due to pipeline access availability; (e) no LNG exports from Canada; and (f) panic selling as a result of inordinate differential spreads between North American prices and AECO pricing. Pipeline takeaway capacity may improve until TCPL and Alliance Pipeline complete construction of expansion in 2021. Oversupply of natural gas in the US may depress prices until such time as US LNG exports deplete North American inventories. The structural elements may take 1.5 years to balance themselves.

(b) Waskahigan

Production from one well which is normally processed through the I3 Energy Energy Ltd.’s (“ I3 Energy ”) Tony Creek gas plant (Wooster meter station) (approx. 800 -1,000 mcf/day). Production which was being processed through the Paramount Deep Valley gas plant (Maddenville meter station)(approx. 600 mcf/d) was shut in because producers are unwilling to pay the repair cost of the plant.

Production which was being processed through Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.’s (“ CNRL ”) Waskahigan plant (on Waskahigan meter station) was shut in on September 1, 2017 (approx. 200/mcf/d). Production will not recommence into Waskahigan processing plant until commodity prices recover and TAPC has made certain credit provisions in favour of CNRL. CNRL has not advised TAPC what they will require in order to permit recommencement of production.

(c) Crossfield, Alberta, Area

Gas production from 10-29-030-03-W5 well has been shut in for 2019 because of mechanical issues

The Company has a 35% working interest in the well, subject to a 12.5% lessor’s royalty. The Company is the operator but subcontracts the operations to another oil company.

A Viking formation oil well under Section 10-29-030-03W5th was drilled in February and completed in April 2012. The Company has a 7% working interest in the well and the well is producing.

(d) Northeast British Columbia Water Disposal Well

The Company owns a 22% working interest in the Ft. Nelson British Columbia salt water disposal well (Kotcho c-B67-K 94-I-14). Cancen Oil Processors BC Ltd. owns 78% working interest and is the operator. The well has been shut in since 2016 and the operator has not provided any accounting information for the fiscal period. Operating results include the Company’s share of revenues for the year ending December 31, 2016 of $Nil (2015 - Nil) and operating expenses of $Nil (2015 Nil). The operations have been restricted since 2016 due to low commodity prices and reduced activity in the Horn River, British Columbia area. The Company and Cancen Oil Processors BC Ltd. have $566,500 on deposit, of which 22% is TAPC’s portion, with the British Columbia Oil & Gas Commission under the Liability Management Rating program under the Oil & Gas Activities Act of British Columbia.

(e) Texas

The El Indio #1 well was shut in since 2016. As a result of the failure to meet minimum oil production the lease rights were terminated. The Company will be disassembling the well in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

6. Liquidity

The December 31, 2020 financial statements do not reflect the adjustments and classifications of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

TAPC is subject to certain fluctuations and trends, such as market conditions, interest rate levels, commodity prices, and industry conditions which could affect its ability to raise the necessary capital to remain as a going concern. In addition, TAPC remains focused on exploration of oil and gas prospects and the results of drilling these prospects could materially affect TAPC's ability to raise additional capital. TAPC plans to meet its exploration and development expenditures and overhead costs through the raising of additional debt or equity financing and/or the completion of joint venture partnerships with third parties.

As at December 31, 2020 TAPC had working capital deficit of $1,511,473. The working capital calculation excludes $210,883 in restricted cash on deposit with regulatory authorities to which may offset the current assets retirement obligation. The Company has downhole equipment and wellsite equipment to offset the abandonment and remediation liability. Because the value of the oil and equipment is contingent this receivable and the other US assets have undetermined value these assets are not included in the financial statement disclosure.

Pursuant to the terms of the LPA, Smoky lent TAPC the sum of $1,326,593 to make the acquisition. The loan is payable on demand. The interest rate on the loan principal is 6% per annum. All obligation owing are secured by a general security agreement charging all of the assets of TAPC. The loan is a demand loan.

TAPC has commitments to abandon and remediate the El Indio #1 well in Texas. TAPC expects to do this by the end of the fourth quarter in 2021. The cost will be US $26,000 to US $52,000 which will have to be funded from cash flow. Upon completion and appropriate certificates being obtained the Texas Railroad Commission should release the $25,000 US deposit. TAPC has a commitment to remediate an unused well site in Crossfield, Alberta. TAPC will require approximately $25,000 to $30,000 to remediate the well in 2021 and the remediation will occur in 2021 provided cash flow from operations is available.

7. Credit Risks relating to Financial Instruments

TAPC generates accounts receivable upon sale of its natural gas, oil and condensate. Overall, the parties to which TAPC relies on to pay for the sale of petroleum products do not constitute any significant credit risk.

TAPC has an oil and liquids marketing agreement for Waskahigan Assets with Tidal Energy Marketers Inc. (“ Tidal ”).

Effective December 1, 2017, TAPC entered into a gas marketing agreement with BP Canada Energy Group ULC (“ BP ”) for any natural gas taken in kind in Waskahigan for 1 year period. This was extended to November 30, 2021.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

Effective January 1, 2018, TAPC entered into a gas handling agreement with Paramount for gas processed by the Deep Valley plant (TCPL Maddenville meter station) which provided TAPC could not take in kind until it had provided Paramount with financial assurances that they would be paid for processing and compression costs. TAPC provided a $20,000 deposit at end of June 2018 which permits TAPC to take in kind. TAPC has a compression and processing agreement with I3 Energy for natural gas processed through the Tony Creek plant (TCPL Wooster meter station). Occasionally, TAPC will rely on the firm service of i3 Energy to market its gas and in such case i3 Energy will bill on a JIB basis and pay the net proceeds from the sale of such gas to TAPC.

Until August 31, 2017, TAPC had processed gas through CNRL’s Waskahigan plant (TCPL Waskahigan meter station). TAPC does not have TCPL firm service through the Waskahigan meter station and CNRL will not permit TAPC to process gas through their plant and take in kind until such time as appropriate credit arrangements have been made. CNRL has not specified what their requirements are for permission to process gas through their facility. It is assumed that CNRL requirements will be for TAPC to post letters of credit sufficient to cover 3 months processing, compression and well service charges ($10,000) and a further $202,970 based on TAPC’s share of deemed abandonment and remediation liability on shared wells. According to the AER January 2017 LLR calculation this amount would be as set out in the following table:

$(202,970)

With respect to accounts payables, TAPC has and will likely provide security to creditors for services: TAPC has provided a $14,000 letter of credit to TCPL to guarantee payment of transportation fees. It is expected that TAPC will provide letter of credit to Paramount ($21,000), I3 Energy ($10,000) and CNRL ($10,000) in order to permit TAPC to take in kind natural gas processed through their respective facilities which would allow TAPC to market the gas through BP and hedge the production to avoid the vicissitudes of AECO pricing. Monies to fund letters of credit will have to come from cash flow when available.

TAPC has provided security for its abandonment and remediation obligations and will likely do so in the future: TAPC has on deposit $54,424 in trust for the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, $124,629 in trust for the British Columbia Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and USD $25,000 held by the Texas Railway Commission. It is likely CNRL will require TAPC deposit funds to secure its abandonment and remediation obligations in wells which TAPC and CNRL have working interests. The requirement, the nature of the security and the quantum of this security, if any, has not been provided by CNRL. See table above for management estimate.

The Company’s financial liabilities and contractual obligations as at December 31, 2020 are due as follows:

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 271,246
Due within 90 days
Loan payable $ 1,152,174
Due on demand
Longterm loanpayable $ 30,900
Due in 2years

There are no drilling commitments. There are no ARO commitments other than the US and Crossfield properties. There are no lease commitments.

Tenth Avenue Petroleum Corp. Management Discussion and Analysis for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2020

Liquidity risk - TAPC’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations when due, under normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the TAPC’s reputation. TAPC has to date required funds from private placements to finance capital expenditures and operations.

Commodity price risk - TAPC is exposed to oil and gas commodity price risk and has not entered any financial derivatives to manage this risk.

Interest rate risk – TAPC’s exposure to interest rate risk is low.

8. Capital Resources

TAPC plans to continue financing the acquisition of assets in the Canadian Western Sedimentary Basin via issuance of shares through private placements.

9. Related Party Transactions

During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2020 TAPC was charged $104,635 (2019 - $114,640) by a company controlled by Gregory J. Leia, an officer and director for consulting fees. TAPC was also charged 29,327 (2019 - $Nil) in consulting fees by another director of the Company during the same period. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

TAPC entered into a LPA with Smoky and 1454871 on July 31, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the LPA, Smoky lent TAPC the sum of $1,326,593 to make the Waskahigan Asset acquisition. All obligations owing are secured by a general security agreement charging all of the assets of the Company. The interest rate on the loan principal is 6% per annum. During the twelve month period ending December 31, 2020 TAPC incurred $72,070 (2019 – $97,176) of interest on the loan. Gregory J. Leia is President and a director of TAPC. Gregory J. Leia is an officer and director of Smoky. Gregory J. Leia owns approx. 65% of the common shares and preferred shares of Smoky. TAPC had agreed to farmout to 1454871 the Waskahigan Participation Assets on the terms and conditions set out in the 1454871 Farmout Agreement.

10. Commitments

TAPC has a commitment to remediate a well site pad in Crossfield. TAPC will require approximately $25,000 to $30,000 to remediate the well in 2021 and the remediation will occur in 2021 provided cash flow from operations is available.

TAPC will also be plugging and abandoning the El Indio #1 well located in Texas by the second quarter of 2021. The estimated cost to be incurred in the next year is between US $26,000 and US $52,000. TAPC has approximately US $6,800 in used oilfield equipment. It is expected that the downhole equipment and wellsite equipment will in part offset the abandonment and remediation liability. Upon abandonment and remediation, TAPC will be entitled to the return of the US $25,000 on deposit with the Texas Railroad Commission. Any costs will have to be funded from cash flow if available.

11. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not party to any off balance sheet arrangements or transactions.
