(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

1 Nature of operations and going concern

Cub Energy Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the exploration, development and production of natural gas, power generation and gas trading in Ukraine. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and continued under the Canadian Business Corporations Act in February 2012. The address of the Company’s registered office is 4500 Bankers Hall East, 855 - 2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4K7, Canada and the records office is Suite 10010, 5120 Woodway Drive, Houston, Texas, 77056. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the trading symbol “KUB”.

The Company, through its subsidiary Gastek LLC (“Gastek”), owns a 35% equity interest in KUBGAS Holdings Limited (“KUB Holdings”) which in turn owns a 100% equity interest in KUB-Gas LLC (“KUBGas”). KUB Holdings is governed by a shareholders’ agreement amongst its two shareholders. KUB-Gas and its subsidiary, KUB-Gas Borova LLC, own and operate six licenced gas and gas condensate fields in the Dnieper-Donetsk Basin of eastern Ukraine (five operating under production licences and one under exploration licence). See Note 4. Gastek has the ability to earn an additional 5% of KUB Holdings (up to 40% in total, see Note 4).

The Company, through its subsidiary Tysagaz LLC, also owns a 100% working interest in two production licences in western Ukraine, Rusko-Komarivske (“RK”) and Stanivske. The RK field was in production until April 1, 2016 when it was suspended due to a termination of a gas blending contract that reduced the nitrogen content of the gas to meet local pipeline specifications. The RK field is currently producing at a reduced rate and the Company is planning to generate power utilizing the gas . See Note 24.

On July 8, 2016, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) and shareholders’ agreement with a third party, whereby the third party earned a 50% interest in the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, CNG Holdings Netherlands B.V. (“CNG Holdings”), which, in turn, owns CNG LLC (“CNG LLC”), the 100% owner of the Uzhgorod production licence in western Ukraine. The Company and the third party respectively own 50% of the common shares of CNG Holdings (Note 5). Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the third party is to:

  • (i) Pay the Company €1,500 ($1,649) upon transfer of the 50% shares (“Closing”) (Paid);

  • (ii) Fund a 100 square kilometre 3D seismic survey (Completed);

  • (iii) Fund the drilling of the first three wells within four years of Closing (First well drilled in 2019); and

  • (iv) Fund the tie-in costs of the first three wells up to a maximum €200 ($228) per well within four years of Closing.

Ukraine’s political and economic situation has been volatile since late November 2013 with no material impact on KUB-Gas operations.

On January 1, 2018, the natural gas royalty rate was reduced from 29% to 12% on new wells drilled after January 1, 2018 for a minimum of five years.

The political and economic uncertainty in Ukraine has contributed to volatility of the Ukrainian currency, Hryvnya (“UAH”), against major currencies. The UAH depreciated approximately 16% against the US dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Cub Energy Inc. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital deficit of $4,776 (December 31, 2019 – $2,055) and accumulated deficit of $26,689 (December 31, 2019 – $24,415) since its inception and may incur future losses in the development of its business. With the current cash resources, limited production from the RK Field, uncertainty surrounding the successful completion and installation of the power generation units, limited Ukraine dividend restrictions, currency fluctuations, reliance on a few customers and impact on carrying values, the Company may not have sufficient cash to continue operations. These matters raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they become due. Continuing operations are dependent on the ability to obtain adequate funding to finance existing operations, receiving funds from Ukraine (including dividends), stability in Ukraine and attaining future profitable operations in Ukraine. Additional financing is subject to the global financial markets and economic conditions, and volatility in the debt and equity markets. These factors have made, and will likely continue to make it challenging to obtain cost effective funding or any at all. There is no assurance this capital will be available and, if it is not, the Company may be forced to curtail or suspend all planned activity.

The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of amounts shown for its natural gas properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves and future profitable production, or upon the Company’s ability to recover its costs through a disposition of its properties or subsidiaries. The amount shown for natural gas properties does not necessarily represent present or future value of those properties. Changes in future conditions could result in a material change in the amount recorded for the natural gas properties.

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk with respect to natural gas prices and foreign exchange rate risk with respect to its foreign assets and liabilities. A significant decline in any one of these commodity prices or foreign exchange rates may affect the Company’s ability to obtain capital for the exploration and development of its natural gas properties. See further financial risk disclosures in Note 22.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds.

2 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These Condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and their interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financials for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(b) Basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries and functional and reporting currencies

The following table describes the Company’s subsidiaries and equity accounted investments, their jurisdiction of incorporation, functional currency, continuance or formation and the percentage of securities beneficially owned, controlled or directed by the Company as at September 30, 2020:

Cub Energy Inc. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

Jurisdiction of
Percentage of Incorporation,
Name of Subsidiary/ Equity Voting Securities Continuance or Functional
Accounted Investment Owned Formation Currency
Gastek LLC 100% California US
KUBGAS Holdings Limited 35% Cyprus US
KUB-Gas LLC 35% Ukraine Hryvnia
KUB-Gas Borova LLC 35% Ukraine Hryvnia

The Company accounts for its 35% indirect ownership in KUB Holdings and KUB-Gas as an investment in associate subject to significant influence under the equity method. The Company also accounts for its 50% direct ownership in CNG Holdings and CNG LLC under the equity method.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company dissolved Tysa Solar Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tysa Solar LLC. These entities held no assets and the dissolution had no impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.

The functional currency of the parent company is the Canadian dollar. The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. All financial information herein is presented in US dollars and is rounded to the nearest thousand except as noted. Financial information in Canadian dollars is noted as “CAD” and financial information in Euros is noted as “€”.

(c) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising on transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(d)

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments as fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. All dollar amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise specified.

(e)

Use of estimates and judgments

Management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include:

  • To value the equity investment in KUB Holdings, management obtains financial information from the majority owner. The recoverability of the Company’s equity investment in KUB Holdings is subject to all estimates included in the financial information from the majority owner, as well as estimates of the recoverable amount of the natural gas reserves held by its wholly-owned subsidiary KUB-Gas.

Cub Energy Inc. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

Additionally, the Company estimates the ability of KUB Holdings to generate future dividends and ability to repatriate funds from Ukraine due to limited dividend restrictions (Note 1).

  • The determination of cash-generating units (“CGU”) requires judgment in defining a group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. CGUs are determined by similar geological structure, shared infrastructure, geographical proximity, commodity type, similar exposure to market risks and materiality.

  • Amounts recognized for depletion and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the assessment of these assets for impairment which includes petroleum and natural gas interests are based on estimates of proved and probable reserves, natural gas prices, future costs, royalty payments and taxes, timing, and other relevant assumptions. By their nature, the estimates of reserves are subject to measurement uncertainty. Changes in these variables could significantly impact the reserves estimates which would affect estimates of recoverable amounts, and depletion and depreciation expense. The Company’s natural gas reserves are evaluated annually and reported to the Company by independent qualified reserves evaluators. The Company expects that its estimates of reserves will change to reflect updated information. Reserve estimates can be revised upward or downward based on the results of future drilling, testing, production levels, and changes in costs, and commodity prices.

  • Amounts recognized for decommissioning obligations and the related accretion expense requires the use of estimates with respect to the amount and timing of decommissioning expenditures. Other provisions are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future cash outflow.

  • Charges for share-based payments and the value of restricted stock units (RSU) are based on the fair value at the date of issuance. These instruments are subject to the estimation using pricing models such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based on assumptions such as volatility, dividend yield, risk free rate of return and expected term. A forfeiture rate is estimated on the grant date and is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest.

  • Tax interpretations, regulations and legislations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates are subject to change. As such, income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty. Deferred income tax assets are assessed by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that they will be realized from future taxable earnings.

  • Judgment is required to determine the functional currency of the parent and its subsidiaries. These judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, including analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

  • Judgement is required to determine the value of its petroleum and natural gas interests (RK field) due to its suspension/reduction in production since April 1, 2016 and recent commitment to purchase new equipment to utilize the field for power generation. However, until the new equipment is operational and the RK field is producing, there will be uncertainty regarding the value of the RK field.

  • The Company applies judgment in assessing its ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months. In making this assessment, the Company considers the facts and circumstances disclosed in Note 1. The Company concluded that there is a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern.

3 Significant accounting policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements.

Commencing August 2016, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Tysagaz, began taking possession of the Company’s 35% ownership of gas produced at KUB-Gas. Tysagaz purchased the gas from KUB-Gas at the same price that KUB-Gas sold its gas to an affiliate of the majority shareholder of KUB-Gas. The Company agreed to this arrangement so it could attempt to earn additional net income over the gas sales price sold to the majority shareholders’ affiliate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $4,382 (2019 - $9,968) in gas sales and $3,483 (2019 - $9,288) for the cost of the sales for a net

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

profit from gas trading of $899 (2019 - $680). For clarity, the $4,382 (2019 - $9,288) cost of sales is included in the KUB Holdings revenue in the tables above. As at September 30, 2020, $26 (December 31, 2019 - $190) of the Company’s trade and other receivables relates to these gas sales to third parties and included in current receivables (see Note 7). In addition, at September 30, 2020, $2,325 (December 31, 2019 - $2,850) of trade and other payables is owed to KUB-Gas. The Company received dividends of $Nil (2019 - $2,790) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, KUB Holdings’ 100% owned subsidiary, KUB-Gas, entered into unsecured, non-interest bearing loan agreements with related parties of the Company. See Note 11.

Per Note 1, the Company has the ability to further increase its ownership interest in KUB Holdings from 35% to 40% on meeting certain benchmarks and optional payments. The Company can earn an additional 2.5% ownership interest when the majority owner of KUB Holdings has received a cumulative $25,000 in dividends from KUB Holdings of which they have received $16,873 as at September 30, 2020. The Company also has an option to purchase, within one year of the above-mentioned 2.5% transfer from the majority owner, a further 2.5% ownership interest in KUB Holdings at a price equal to 2.5% of the net present value of 2P reserves of KUB-Gas at a 10% discount at the time of exercise.

5 Equity investment in CNG Holdings

The Company’s share of the consolidated net loss from its 50% ownership interest in CNG Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,130 (2019 – net income of $32). However, per IAS 28, the Company is only to report its share of cumulative losses up to the Company’s total interest in the equity investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s Ukraine subsidiaries, Tysagaz and 3P Consulting, entered into unsecured, non-interest bearing loan agreements with KUB-Gas, whereby KUB-Gas agreed to lend approximately 172,500 UAH for general working capital. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company repaid 30,000 UAH. The schedule of the loans is as follows:

The KUB-Gas loan agreements are denominated in UAH and subject to currency fluctuations. The KUB-Gas loans are interest free and below market rates. At the outset of the loans in 2016, the Company recognized a loan discount amount of $2,509. The loan discount recognizes the interest rate benefit assuming an effective interest rate in Ukraine of approximately 21% based on market rates for comparable transactions. The discount amount is to be amortized over the life of the loans. The accretion of the interest rate benefit is recorded to profit or loss within finance loss. In addition, KUB-Gas recognized the fair value of these transactions in its financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2016 and treated the fair value of the benefit as a non-cash distribution to shareholders in its shareholders’ equity. The Company’s share of the amount recognized in 2016 was $2,187 which includes the recognition of the fair value of the interest rate benefit for financial aid provided by KUB-Gas to parties controlled by the majority shareholder of KUB-Gas and the Company. This was treated as a reduction of its investment of KUB Holdings. See Note 4.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the maturity of the loans from Kub-Gas were all extended to December 31, 2020 and the Company recorded a further loan discount of $1,278 which was recorded to reserves in shareholders’ equity as per IFRS accounting treatment of a related party loan and is to be amortized over the remaining term of the loan.

The Kub-Gas loans were amended in 2019 to include a callable feature whereby Kub-Gas can call the loans at any time prior to the December 31, 2020 maturity date. The callable feature reclassifies the loans from a long-term liability to a current liability and the balance of the loan discount, being $1,594, was derecognized and recorded to other reserves and the loans are now carried at face value.

12 Bank Guarantee

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Tysagaz, entered into a bank guarantee for 25,000 UAH ($890) with a state-owned Ukrainian bank to guarantee its working capital requirement for the gas trading business. The term of the bank guarantee is a 3% annual fee to keep the guarantee in place. The Company is also a party to the guarantee. In February 2019, the bank guarantee was reduced to 10,000 UAH ($356). In December 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, Tysagaz, entered into a new bank guarantee for 8,000 UAH ($285) as a result of a change in structure of the pipeline operator and the 10,000 UAH bank guarantee was terminated in January 2020.

During 2019, the Company pledged 4,500 UAH ($160) of its cash in the Ukraine bank for the bank guarantee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the pledged amount was decreased to 2,000 UAH ($71).

The Company has two principal reportable segments being the revenue from the sale of gas from the Company’s RK field and revenue from gas trading. These reportable segments were determined based on the source of the gas obtained by the Company for sale. Reportable segments are defined as components of an

Cub Energy Inc. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Amounts relating to the gas trading segment include revenue from gas trading and cost of sales for gas trading. There are no other revenue, expenses, or non-current assets that relate to this segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were two (2019 - three) customers which each accounted for greater than 10% of total gas trading revenue, and the revenue amounted to $935 and $574 (2019 - $1,668, $1,598 and $1,450). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was just one customer for the Company’s gas sales (2019 – one). All the Company’s revenues were earned from sales to customers in the Ukraine.

18 Commitments and contingencies

Ukraine

The Company has an obligation to incur certain capital expenditures to comply with the Ukrainian licence requirements. Under these licence maintenance commitments, the Company is required to explore its licenced fields. Although these commitments are not binding and may be modified based on results of work, the Company’s potential capital expenditures relating to qualifying activities on gas and gas condensate fields will be material during the period from 2021 to 2022 as part of the planned exploration and development programs. Justified deviation from the capital expenditures is permitted and should be agreed with the licensor, while failure to commit exploration works and substantiate the different capital expenditure schedule may result in termination of the exploration licence.

Lawsuits

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s 50% indirect investment in Ukraine associate, CNG LLC, learned of two non-governmental organization (“NGO”) lawsuits filed against the State Service of Geology and Mineral Resources of Ukraine (“SGS”), the government body who issues licences in Ukraine, concerning recent licence grants including the Company’s recently issued Uzhgorod licence. From public available information, it appears that the NGO filed at least five more lawsuits challenging the SGS for issuance of several licenses issued to various third party subsoil users. The Company believes the claims to be frivolous and without merit and there is no reason to postpone investment activities within the Uzhgorod license. To be clear, CNG LLC, which holds the Uzhgorod license is not a defendant under the claims but could be materially affected by a negative outcome. Therefore, CNG LLC has participated in the litigation as a third party on the defendant’s side. During the year ended December 31, 2017, one of the two NGO lawsuits against SGS was dismissed by the Ukraine courts. The other lawsuit is still pending, but remains dormant.

Capital Commitment

In April, 2020, the Company signed a contract for the purchase of capital equipment to utilize the natural gas from the RK field for power generation. The contract commitment totals approximately $1,400 and together with cost of commissioning and connecting to the local grid, the total commitment is $1,900. The Company has expended $645 of this commitment to September 30, 2020 and expended a further $1,200 subsequent to September 30, 2020. See Notes 8(iii) and 24.

US Paycheck Protection Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company applied for and obtained $94 as part of the US Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act. The Company expects the full amount to be forgiven under the program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded the $94 as a reduction of salaries in general and administrative expenses. See Note 16.

Cub Energy Inc. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

19 Leases

The Company has a lease agreement for office space in Houston, Texas which expires in May 2020. The commitment is approximately $166 per year for the term of the lease. In March of 2019, the Company subleased a material amount of the Houston office space for the remainder of the lease as a cost savings measure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company signed a new lease agreement for office space in Houston, Texas which expires in May 2025 with a yearly commitment of $31.

The Company also leases two offices in Ukraine with one expiring in February 2021 with a commitment of $56 per year and a second expiring in November 2020 with a commitment of $15 per year. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company terminated the Ukraine office lease expiring in February 2021 and signed a new office lease expiring in June 2021 with a commitment of $16 per year.

20 Related party transactions

Transactions with related parties are incurred in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no related party transactions other than the shareholder loans (Note 10), the transactions and balances with KUB Holdings and KUB-Gas, and the loan to CNG Holdings (Note 8 (i)) (Notes 4, 5, 10 and 11).

21 Key management compensation

22 Financial risk management

(a) Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

  • credit risk

  • liquidity risk

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

  • foreign exchange risk

  • interest risk

  • commodity price risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing and measuring risk, and the management of capital.

Management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.

The 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 limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation, and arises principally from cash, trade and other receivables (excluding sales tax), and non-current receivables.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk. The Company manages its credit risk by holding its cash with high credit quality Canadian, US and Ukrainian financial institutions.

The following table identifies the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk:

Non-current receivables 1,240 436
$ 6,418 $ 6,909
----- End of picture text -----

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows and anticipated investing and financing activities. Officers of the Company are actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.

The Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters and the ability of the Company to get funds from Ukraine due to uncertainties in Ukraine related to dividend restriction policies.

The Company has $1,800 in shareholder loans (See Note 10) and $5,036 in loans payable to Kub-Gas (See Note 11). As at September 30, 2020, the Company had current assets of $5,272 and had the following financial liabilities:

(e) Interest Rate

The Company has a $1,800 shareholder loan (see Note 10) which is due to be repaid by January 31, 2021 with an annual interest rate of 10.8%. The Company’s interest rate risk is limited as it does not have any variable interest bearing financial instruments.

(f) Commodity price

The Company is exposed to risks due to fluctuations in the price of natural gas in the Ukraine. The Company has no commodity hedge program in place which could potentially mitigate the price risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold gas to its customers at an average price of $3.59 (2019 - $5.85) per thousand cubic feet. A 10% fluctuation in the average price of gas assuming the same quantity sold, would have impacted the Company’s revenue from gas trading by approximately $60 (2019 - $95) per month.

(g) Capital management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of US dollars)

The Company includes shareholders’ equity, comprised of issued share capital, contributed surplus, warrants, accumulated other comprehensive loss and deficit in the definition of capital. As at September 30, 2020, the Company has total shareholders’ deficit of $1,391 (December 31, 2019 – shareholders’ equity of $413). The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to fund its exploration and development work programs. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt or by securing strategic partners.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the year ended September 30, 2020.

23 Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other receivables (excluding sales tax), noncurrent receivables, shareholder loans, loan from KUB-Gas and trade and other payables. The fair values of financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying values. Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to the short term nature of the accounts. The shareholder loans approximate fair value due to the use of market rates of interest. The loan from KUBGas and the loan to CNG LLC also approximate fair value as they have been discounted with an interest rate comparable to current market rates.

The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three levels fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments:
