Petrolympic Ltd.
Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed In Canadian Dollars)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Petrolympic Ltd.
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Petrolympic Ltd. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern
We draw your attention to Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $498,445 during the year ended December 31, 2019. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the management’s discussion and analysis, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Pat Kenney.

Petrolympic Ltd.
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Petrolympic Ltd. (the "Company" or "Petrolympic") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Petrolympic is an exploration company, engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties. At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet discovered any significant deposits, nor has it generated any profit from its activities. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PCQ and on the OTCQX International under the symbol PCQRF. The primary office is located at The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1. The Company's year end is December 31st.
Petrolympic is at an early stage of exploration and, as is common with many exploration companies, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities in discrete tranches. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $687,827 at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - working capital deficiency of $290,402). As at December 31, 2019, the Company has a deficit of $10,951,982 (December 31, 2018 - $11,054,889). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a comprehensive loss of $498,445 (year ended December 31, 2018 - comprehensive loss of $978,096). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had total cash outflows of $78,186 (year ended December 31, 2018 - cash outflows of $112,529). These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its obtaining additional financing and eventually achieving profitable operations in the future. The Company is currently evaluating various options in order to address its financing needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing activities will continue to be successful or sufficient.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern and was required to realize its assets or discharge its obligations in anything other than the ordinary course of operations. These adjustments could be material.
2. Significant accounting policies
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective for the Company’s reporting for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are based on IFRSs issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019. These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2020.
(b) Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments carried at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Of particular significance are the estimates and assumptions used in the recognition and measurement of items included in note 2(s).

Petrolympic Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Petrolympia Inc., Petrolympic USA, Inc. and Oil-lympia Oil and Gas Inc.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed or has rights to variable returns from an investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the periods presented are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.
(d) Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary Petrolympia Inc. is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency of the subsidiaries Petrolympia USA, Inc. and Oil-lympia Oil and Gas Inc. is the US dollar. For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position are expressed in Canadian Dollars.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each financial reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot rate at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
The financial results and position of the US subsidiaries are translated as follows: (i) assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date; and (ii) income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising on translation of the US subsidiaries are recognized in other comprehensive loss. These differences are reclassified and recognized in loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed.
(e) Financial instruments
Recognition
The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, and are derecognized either when the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or when cash flows expire. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
A write-off of a financial asset (or a portion thereof) constitutes a derecognition event. Write-off occurs when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows on a financial asset.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Financial instruments (continued)
Classification and Measurement
The Company determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified according to the following measurement categories:
- i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”); and
ii) those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost.
The classification and measurement of financial assets after initial recognition at fair value depends on the business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, are generally measured at amortized cost at each subsequent reporting period. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at each subsequent reporting period, with any changes recorded through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (which designation is made as an irrevocable election at the time of recognition).
After initial recognition at fair value, financial liabilities are classified and measured at either:
i) amortized cost; ii) FVTPL, if the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of recognition, or when required (for items such as instruments held for trading or derivatives); or,
iii) FVTOCI, when the change in fair value is attributable to changes in the Company’s credit risk.
The Company reclassifies financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of a financial asset or financial liability classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost are included in the fair value of the instrument on initial recognition. Transaction costs for financial assets and financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of the following:
| Financial assets: | Classification: |
|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL |
| Reclamation Bond | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities: | Classification: |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Advances from relatedparty | Amortized cost |

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Financial instruments (continued)
Impairment
The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with any financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
-
Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 - valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, except for cash and cash equivalents, none of the Company’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1.
(f) Exploration and evaluation expenditures
The Company expenses exploration and evaluation expenditures as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs of petroleum and natural gas properties, property option payments and evaluation activity. Tax credits related to exploration and evaluation expenditures are netted against the related exploration and evaluation expenditures in the period in which they are recognized (see note 2(r)).
All consideration received or receivable for property sales are credited to operations.
Revenue from the sale of property is recognized once the sale is complete and all risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser.
Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, related development expenditures are capitalized. This includes costs incurred in preparing the site for extraction activities. Capitalization ceases when the properties are capable of commercial production, with the exception of development costs that give rise to a future benefit.

(g) Finance costs
Costs incurred on the issuance of the Company's equity instruments are charged directly to the respective equity account.
(h) Flow-through shares
The Company, from time to time, finances a portion of its planned exploration and development activities through the issue of flow-through shares. Under the terms of the flow-through agreements, the income tax deductions attributable to the capital expenditures are renounced to the subscribers. The difference between the subscription price of the flowthrough shares and the common share prices at the date of issuance is initially recognized as a liability on the consolidated statement of financial position. The liability is then transferred to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as other income when the Company has made the required expenditures and renounced to the tax authorities.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, and guaranteed investment certificates with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash.
(j) Joint Arrangements
The Company determines whether the joint arrangement entered into by the Company is a joint operation or a joint venture based upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Where the Company determines the joint arrangement represents a joint operation, the Company accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Where the Company determines the joint arrangement represents a joint venture, the Company recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for this investment using the equity method, whereby the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of the net assets of the joint venture. The Company’s share of the joint venture’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) is included in Company’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss), respectively.

(k) Equipment
Equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item of equipment consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Depreciation is recognized based on the cost of an item of equipment, less its estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life at the following rates:
| Detail | Percentage | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Oil and gas equipment | 30% | Declining balance |
| An asset's residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed on an annual basis and adjusted if | ||
| appropriate. |
At each financial position reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less disposal costs and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the pre-tax time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
(l) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
The Company had no material provisions at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
(m) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of share options granted to employees is recognized as an expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee, including directors of the Company. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognized over the period during which the options vest. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes optionpricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. At the end of each reporting period, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that are expected to vest.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
(m) Share-based payment transactions (continued)
The fair value of share-based payments to non-employees and other share-based payments are based on the fair value of the goods or services received. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the Company is required to measure their value, and the corresponding increase in contributed surplus, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the date the Company receives the goods or services.
The fair value of unexercised options is adjusted to deficit on expiry.
(n) Equity
In situations where the Company issues units, the value of warrants is bifurcated using the relative fair value method. Proceeds from issuances by the Company of units consisting of shares and warrants are allocated between share capital and reserve for warrants on a relative fair value bases by first determining the relative fair value of the warrants and shares. The relative fair value of the shares and warrants is estimated using the share price at the time of financing and the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of unexercised warrants is adjusted to deficit on expiry.
(o) Income taxes
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

(p) Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental obligations
A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration, development or ongoing production of an oil and gas property interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pretax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related asset, through amortization using either a unit-of-production or the straight-line method as appropriate under IFRS. The related liability is adjusted for each period for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.
The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs as the disturbance to date is minimal.
(q) Loss per share
The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all warrants and options outstanding that may add to the total number of common shares.
(r) Refundable tax credit for resources
The Company is eligible for a refundable tax credit for resources for petroleum and natural gas industry companies in relation to eligible expenses incurred in Quebec, Canada. The refundable tax credit for resources represents up to 35% (December 31, 2018 - 35%) of the amount of eligible expenditures incurred. This tax credit is recognized as a credit to eligible exploration and evaluation costs expensed during the year, on cash receipt.
(s) Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates
Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
-
the inputs used in accounting for share-based payment transactions in profit or loss; and
-
As more fully described in notes 12 and 13, calculation of the fair value of stock options and warrants issued requires the use of estimates of inputs in the applicable stock option valuation models.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (s) Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)
Critical accounting judgments
-
Management assumptions of no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental provision, based on the facts and circumstances that existed during the year.
-
The categorization of financial assets and liabilities and functional currency determination are accounting policies that require management to make judgments or assessments.
-
Management’s judgment is used in the method used to establish fair value of flow-through shares. Additionally, management’s judgment is applied in determining whether qualified expenditures have been incurred. Differences in judgment between management and regulatory authorities can materially increase the flowthrough premium liability and outstanding commitments.
-
Management's judgment is used in determining the eligible expenditures used in the recognition of tax credits receivable.
-
Management applied judgment in determining the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

(t) Adoption of New Accounting Standard
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 – Leases as well as some lease related interpretations. With certain exceptions for leases under twelve months in length or for assets of low value, IFRS 16 states that upon lease commencement a lessee recognises a rightofuse asset and a lease liability. The rightofuse asset is initially measured at the amount of the liability plus any initial direct costs. After lease commencement, the lessee shall measure the rightofuse asset at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. A lessee shall either apply IFRS 16 with full retrospective effect or alternatively not restate comparative information but recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. IFRS 16 requires that lessors classify each lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Otherwise it is an operating lease. The application of the new standard had no impact on the financial statements on or after January 1, 2019.
3. Capital risk management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that funds are available or are scheduled to be raised to provide adequate funds to carry out the Company’s defined exploration programs and to meet its ongoing administrative costs. The Company considers its capital to be equity, which comprises share capital, reserves and deficit, which at December 31, 2019, had a total deficiency of $670,860 (December 31, 2018 - $270,988).
This is achieved by the Board of Directors’ review and acceptance of exploration budgets that are achievable within existing resources and the timely matching and release of the next stage of expenditures with the resources made available from private placements or other fund raisings.

Petrolympic Ltd.
3. Capital risk management (continued)
The Company is not subject to any material externally imposed capital requirements or covenants other than the obligation to incur eligible expenditures with respect to the flow-through shares issued (refer to notes 14(a)) and Policy 2.5 of the TSXV Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) which requires adequate working capital or financial resources of the greater of (i) $50,000 and (ii) an amount required in order to maintain operations and cover general and administrative expenses for a period of 6 months. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is not compliant with Policy 2.5.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is appropriate.
There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.
4. Financial risk management
(i) Financial risk
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest rate, foreign currency and commodity and equity price risk). Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.
(ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held with select major Canadian chartered banks, from which management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities. As at December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24,405 (December 31, 2018 - $102,591) to settle current liabilities of $718,726 (December 31, 2018 - $469,836). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (see note 1). The Company's ability to continually meet its obligations and carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders and securing additional financing.
(iv) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates or interest-bearing accounts of major Canadian chartered banks. The Company regularly monitors compliance with its cash management policy.

(iv) Market risk (continued)
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk with respect to the expenditures incurred by its US subsidiaries.
(v) Sensitivity analysis
Based on management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, the Company believes the following movements are reasonably possible over a twelve-month period:
(a) The Company has no interest-bearing debt at December 31, 2019.
(b) The Company has subsidiaries with balances denominated in US dollars. Sensitivity to a plus or minus five percentage point change in exchange rates would lead to a $16,800 gain/loss in the reported net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

18. Commitments and contingencies
Québec, Canada
Effective January 1, 2017, in order to maintain its petroleum and natural gas permits in good standing, the Company must pay an annual fee of $10.30 per square km. The Quebec Government has decided to maintain the annual rent obligations until further notice while completing environmental studies and preparing new Quebec oil and gas laws and regulations. Until then, permits owners must only pay the annual rental and have no work obligations to keep their permits. Present exploration expenditures (without hydraulic fracturation) are allowed and will be cumulated and credited to future permits work obligations.
The Company's operations are subject to government environmental protection legislation. Environmental consequences are difficult to identify in terms of results, timetable and impact.
At this time, to management's best knowledge, the Company's operations are in compliance with current laws and regulations.

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.
