1. REPORTING ENTITY
Transeuro Energy Corp. (the "Company" or "Transeuro") is a publicly traded company and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and Oslo Axess under the symbol "TSU". The Company was incorporated in British Colombia and is extra provincially registered in Alberta. Transeuro's head office is located at Suite 2800 – 350 7th Ave SW, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2P 3N9. Transeuro is involved in the acquisition of petroleum and natural gas rights, the exploration for, and development and production of crude oil, condensate and natural gas.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include Transeuro Energy Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Grey Creek Petroleum Limited Inc., Indusmin Energy Corporation, Mattson Holdings Ltd., Transeuro Beaver River Inc. (formerly Questerre Beaver River), Team Energy LLC, Scythian Energy B.V., Samartian Energy B.V., South Crimea Energy B.V., West Crimea Energy B.V., Ammonite B.V., Indusmin LLC, and Ammonite LLC.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The accounting policies and fair value determination applied by the Company for these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those disclosed and applied by the Company as discussed in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
a. Basis of measurement
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment in associate and derivative instruments which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
b. Functional and presentation currency
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Canadian parent company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of foreign subsidiaries includes the Euro ("EUR"), Armenian Dram, U.S. dollar ("USD") and Ukraine Hryvna ("UAH"). Foreign currency gains and losses arise from the translation of intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than the presentation currency, transactions and period end balances in entities in a currency other than their functional currency and from recognition of exchange differences into net loss/income from foreign currency translation previously included in other comprehensive income.
c. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is included the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
d. Going concern
Management has made the necessary estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As at and for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. Transeuro is a development stage enterprise that participates in oil and gas projects located in emerging markets, including the Ukraine. To date, Transeuro has not found proven reserves internationally. Oil and gas exploration, development and production activities in emerging markets, are subject to significant uncertainties which may adversely affect the Company's operations. Uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk of war, terrorism, expropriation, nationalization, renegotiation or nullification of existing or future concessions and contracts, the imposition of international sanctions, a change in crude oil or natural gas pricing policies, a change in taxation policies, and the imposition of currency controls. These uncertainties, all of which are beyond the Company's control, could have a material adverse effect on Transeuro's business, prospects and results of operations. In addition, if legal disputes arise related to oil and gas concessions acquired by the Company, Transeuro could be subject to the jurisdiction of courts other than those of Canada. The Company's recourse may be limited in the event of a breach by a government or government authority of an agreement governing a concession in which Transeuro acquires an interest. The Company may require licenses or permits from various governmental authorities to carry out future exploration, development and production activities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits when required.
The Company has operating assets in Canada that in 2013 and 2012 generated negative operating cash flow. For the period ended December 31, 2013 the Company had net loss of \$7,807,852 and used cash of \$3,958,338 for operating activities. Consequently, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain additional financing if, as and when required, and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations.
Management's assessment of the Company, based on its current cash flow forecast and financial model, is that there is significant uncertainty as to whether it is a going concern because of the following factors:
- a) The Company gas production operations in Canada continue to operating at a loss due to reducing gas production from natural decline and low gas prices. The Company had continued production while attempting to attract a farm in partner, but has now shut in production due to mechanical and equipment issues (Note 5).
- b) The Company has two remaining loan repayments due in December 2013 and April 2014 related to outstanding loan agreement (see Note 7).
- c) The Company is currently in non-compliance with certain covenants under its convertible bond and has requested a waiver from the bond trustee to allow the Company time to fulfill the requirements, see below for management plans to remedy.
- d) As at December 31, 2013, the Company has cash of \$12,990 which will cover some short-term expenditures, but are unlikely to cover the cash flow needs of the following twelve months.
Management's plans for addressing the above factors are as follows:
- a) To farm out an interest in the Beaver River field in Canada to fund a work programme that will increase production and revenue to cover fixed costs and deliver operating profits. To farm out an interest in the new Jordan Enhancement Program Agreement to cover the financial commitments and some corporate G&A.
- b) The Company is reviewing new production and exploration assets including through acquisitions and mergers that can provide immediate or short term revenue as well as good investment opportunities to increase production through development and exploration activities. Securing these additional assets will allow the Company to pursue additional financing at attractive prices.
- c) Make further use of the two financing facilities with Yorkville Advisors LLP ("Yorkville") subject to TSX regulations and the terms and conditions of the agreements (Note 10).
- d) Under the terms of the sale agreement of Povorotnoye, future staged payments for spudding of the first well (USD\$500,000) and on successful testing (USD\$500,000) will be received by Transeuro (Note 4). Drilling is anticipated in 2014.
- e) As a development stage exploration company, Transeuro will continue its efforts to seek appropriate financing initiatives to meet its obligations that benefit the Company and its shareholders. Among the alternatives, the Company will assess the relative cost/benefit of additional issuance of shares from treasury, financing alternatives or farm-out opportunities.
There can be no assurance that the above plan will be completed as described and these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary and could be material to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
As at and for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
During the second quarter, the Company signed an offer to purchase for the rig and has completed the sale of the related equipment. During 2013, \$675,000 was received as proceeds and \$9,389 was recorded as impairment to reflect the loss on sale. Any additional costs to be incurred in connection with the sale will be charged through profit and loss as incurred.
4. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed a transaction to sell 85% of its interest in East Crimea BV. East Crimea BV is the holding company that holds title to the Joint Activity Agreement to develop the Povorotnoye gas field in East Crimea.
Under the terms of the sale, the purchaser will drill well one to a depth of approximately 4,000 meters, and if a commercial discovery is declared, to put the well into production. The purchaser will then drill a second development well, commencing before May 15th 2016. The purchaser is solely responsible for the costs associated with the drilling of the two wells noted and the acquisition seismic on the licenses, subsequent to which the costs will revert to the ownership interest.
The Company received USD \$350,000 from the purchaser in 2011, representing the initial payment under the sale. The loss recorded by the Company of \$477,312 is based on proceeds received, the de-recognition of 85% of the net assets prior to sale, and the recognition of \$1,128,529 as the fair value of the investment.
The Company evaluated the fair value of this investment as at December 31, 2013 and determined that there was no adjustment in fair value. Any change in the value the investment is carried at is due to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates.
During 2012 the purchaser made the first staged payment of USD \$500,000 on completion of the transaction. A second payment of USD \$500,000 is due on spudding of well one and a final payment of USD \$500,000 on the commencement of testing operations on well one.
5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
In October, 2013 the Company announced the shut in of the natural gas field at Beaver River, due to equipment failure. The equipment required to bring production back on stream was not in the field and could not be mobilized due to weather conditions (ice roads and bridge repairs commissioned). As the Company was unable to establish production before year-end (and through February, 2014) no year-end independent reserve report was completed. Due to the future uncertainty of the Beaver River production and related economic reserves, the Company has recorded an impairment of \$2,839,406. Subsequent changes to the operations, reserves and production in the field will allow the Company to reverse all or a portion of the impairment recorded. The Company continues to carry the value of the Beaver River exploration and evaluation assets, as the carry value is supported by activity in the area, deal/transaction metrics in the region (land values) and other factors.

For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company assessed the fair value of its assets and determined that due to the uncertainty of regaining valid Joint Activity Agreements in Ukraine, that an impairment of the remaining carry value be recorded (related to the net carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and asset retirement obligations). For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of \$563,038 and a related reclassification related to previously recorded foreign exchange gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to the statement of profit and loss. For the year ended December 31, 2012, as a result of the operational updates on Karl-101 released in November, 2012, the uncertainty of future operations and the ongoing negotiations for the various licenses and Joint Activity Agreements in Ukraine, the Company has recorded an impairment charge of \$29,168,044 through profit and loss.
As of January 1, 2013 all cost associated with Ukraine operations (general and administrative and office) are no longer capitalized with exploration and evaluation assets but are expensed as a part of general and administrative expenses (Note 13).
7. LOAN PAYABLE
During the second quarter of 2012 the Company finalized a financing facility with Yorkville (a third party) including a Loan Agreement for up to CAD \$5.0 million. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, Transeuro can receive up to CAD \$5.0 million over a period of 24 months, which shall be advanced in tranches of CAD \$1.0 million with repayment over 12 months. The loan will be unsecured and pay annual interest at 12%. On May 16, 2012 The Company had drawn the first instalment of the Loan Agreement in the amount of CAD \$1.0 million and has issued 1 million, one year share purchase warrants (Note 9) with the exercise price of CAD \$0.168 to Yorkville. Monthly repayments of the first draw down installment commenced in August 2012 and were subsequently placed on hold under mutual agreement of the Company and Yorkville in November 2012 as a result of the ongoing regulatory and exchange discussions (refer to Note 10 for additional information on the Yorkville facility).
The Company and Yorkville have amended the Loan Agreement entered into in May 2013. Under the revised terms the Loan Agreement, the remaining principal and interest will be repaid in three installments in August 2013, December 2013 and April 2014.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company announced that further to its press release dated March 26, 2013, the Company has executed the first drawdown of the SPA with Yorkville. The Company issued 6,192,460 shares to Yorkville at a deemed price of CAD 0.05, valued at CAD 309,623.
The proceeds received from Yorkville were used for the first agreed loan repayment under the revised Loan Agreement with Yorkville dated May 2013.

8. CONVERTIBLE BOND
On May 22, 2012 the Company closed a NOK 60 million (approximately CAD \$10.4 million) secured convertible bond. The final terms of the secured convertible bond are annual interest at 12% and a conversion price at NOK 0.85 (approximately CAD \$0.148). The bond is secured against the shares of Transeuro Beaver River Inc., the Company subsidiary holding title to 50% of the Beaver River field in British Columbia, Canada.
Long-term derivative instrument
As a result of the conversion option the debt is bifurcated into debt and the convertible option. The NOK denominated convertible bond is considered to contain an embedded derivative since the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. The fair value of the convertible component as at May 22, 2012 was \$2,563,975 determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method using a risk free rate interest rate of 1.02%, a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted average volatility factor 60%, market price per common share of NOK 0.65 and an expected life of 3 years. Transaction costs relating to the derivative portion of the instrument totalled \$167,794 and were charged to finance costs through profit and loss.
The fair value of the convertible component was revalued as at December 31, 2013 using the Black-Scholes valuation method using a risk free rate interest rate of 1.20%, a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted average volatility factor 60%, market price per common share of NOK 0.20 and an expected life of 1.39 years. As at December 31, 2013 fair value was determined to be \$21,082 resulting in a change of \$2,542,893 since inception, relating to the change in value due to the Black-Scholes inputs and relating to foreign exchange, both of these amounts are recorded through profit and loss.
As at and for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)
If the volatility used to fair value the convertible component decreased by 10% the fair value would decrease by \$15,567. If the volatility increased by 10%, the fair value of the convertible option would increase by \$12,680.
If the share price used to fair value the convertible component decreased by NOK 0.10 the fair value would decrease by \$20,389. If the share price increased by NOK 0.10 the fair value of the convertible option would increase by \$84,312.
During the third quarter of 2013, NOK 13,000,000 (approximately \$2,164,826) were converted under the bond holders conversion rights. In conjunction with the conversions 15,294,116 of free trading shares were issued. As a result of the conversions, the Company recorded a gain to profit and loss for the period equal to \$1,646,476 related to the difference in the in stated conversion rate of NOK 0.85/share and the average market price of \$0.038/share (NOK 0.20/share).
Long-term liability
The liability component is determined by taking the face value of the bond less the fair value of the equity and finance costs. The debt will be accreted until bond maturity back to face value.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Convertible debenture | \$ 8,215,600 |
| Unamortized allocation to derivative instrument | (1,168,728) |
| Unamortized transaction costs | (233,621) |
| Unrealized foreign exchange | 100,432 |
| Balance December 31, 2013 | \$ 6,913,683 |
The remaining unamortized component consists of \$1,168,728 of unamortized value relating to the derivative instrument, \$233,621 in transactions costs and \$100,443 of unrealized foreign exchange. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 transaction costs of \$37,015 and \$152,298, respectively (2012 – (\$58,761) and \$272,375), were recognized and charged to earning through finance costs. The Company recorded accretion on the long term derivative instrument for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 of \$188,332 and \$893,550, respectively (2012 - \$237,251 and \$549,660), were recognized and charged to earning through finance costs.

10. SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
In May 2012 the Company signed final agreements with YA Global Master SPV Ltd ("YA Global"), which is advised by Yorkville, including a Loan Agreement for up to CAD \$5.0 million (Note 7), and a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") for up to NOK 100 million (approximately CAD \$17.2 million).
Pursuant to the proposed terms of the SPA, the Company has the discretion to withdraw funds in tranches up to a total of NOK 100 million over a period of 36 months. At the request of the Company YA Global will, subject to a number of conditions as set out in the SPA, be obligated to purchase ordinary shares at a discount of 5% to the average of the lowest volume weighted average share price of the Company during four consecutive 10 day forward pricing period. Alternatively the Company may elect a backward pricing period whereby YA Global will purchase shares at a 10% discount to the lowest volume weighted average share price of the Company during a 5 day backward pricing period. The Company had prepared and filed a Shelf Prospectus in Canada to facilitate the issuance of new shares under the SPA.
In October 2012 the Company revised the proposed SPA with YA Global that was previously announced in May 2012 to reflect changes requested by the Alberta Securities Commission ("ASC") following discussions of their review of the terms of the SPA and the preliminary Shelf Prospectus.
Pursuant to the terms of the revised SPA, the Company still has the discretion to withdraw funds in tranches up to a total of NOK 100 million over a period of 36 months. At the request of the Company YA Global will still, subject to a number of conditions as set out in the SPA, be obligated to purchase ordinary shares at a discount of 5% to the average of the lowest volume weighted average share price of the Company. However the revised agreement specifies a forward pricing period of 5 days compared to the previous period of 40 days. The facility for a backward pricing period has been removed.
In November 2012, the Company announced that it would no longer proceed with its shelf prospectus and exemptive relief application in connection with the SPA. The Company has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to the SPA, but may require further amendments to the SPA before finalizing with Yorkville. As a result of not having a receipted prospectus, any shares issued pursuant to the SPA will be issued pursuant to prospectus exemptions and will be subject to a four month hold period. In March, 2013, the Company has issued 7,040,023 shares (the "Initial Implementation Shares") to Yorkville at a deemed price of CAD 0.05, valued at NOK 2,000,000 (with a four month hold). The Initial Implementation Fee Shares are calculated as 2% of the maximum aggregate funding from the SPA of NOK 100,000,000 that is available to the Company from the SPA over the 3 year term. Under the terms of the SPA, a further 1% (NOK 1,000,000) in shares will be issued as the balance of the implementation fee to Yorkville coincident with subsequent drawdowns from the SPA.
In connection with the execution of the SPA, the Company and Yorkville have amended the Loan Agreement entered into in May 2012. Under the revised terms the Loan Agreement, the remaining principal and interest will be repaid in three installments in August 2013, December 2013 and April 2014 (Note 6).
On August 22, 2013, the Company executed the first drawdown of the SPA with Yorkville. The Company issued 6,192,460 shares to Yorkville at a deemed price of \$0.05/share, valued at \$309,623. The shares were be issued to Yorkville pursuant to Canadian prospectus exemptions and are subject to a four month hold period, which expires December 22, 2013, before the shares can be sold into the market. The market value of the shares on the date of issue was \$185,773 (\$0.03/share) resulting in a gain on the settlement of \$123,849.
The proceeds received from Yorkville were used for the first agreed loan repayment under the revised Loan Agreement with Yorkville. The Company has obligations to repay principal and interest in December 2013 and April 2014 and is in discussions to execute the SPA to issue additional shares to repay its obligations.
