INNKALLING TIL EKSTRAORDINÆR GENERAL-FORSAMLING I PETRONOR E&P ASA

Styret ("Styret") innkaller med dette til ekstraordinær generalforsamling i PetroNor E&P ASA, org.nr. 927 866 951 ("Selskapet"), klokken 18:00 den 23. februar 2022. Møtet avholdes elektronisk gjennom Teams.

Selskapets eneaksjonær, PetroNor E&P Ltd., har samtykket til fravikelse av reglene om innkalling i henhold til allmennaksjeloven.

Styrets leder eller en person utpekt av ham vil åpne generalforsamlingen og foreta registrering av fremmøtte aksjonærer og fullmakter.

Følgende saker foreligger på agendaen: The following items are on the agenda:

  • 2. REGISTRERING AV FREMMØTTE AKSJONÆRER OG FULLMAKTER
  • 3. GODKJENNING AV INNKALLING OG AGENDA FOR MØTET
  • 4. VALG AV MØTELEDER OG MINST ÉN PERSON TIL Å UNDERTEGNE PROTOKOLLEN SAMMEN MED MØTELEDER

Styret ønsker å utstede nye aksjer i Selskapet til eksisterende aksjonærer i PetroNor E&P Ltd. i forholdet 1 til 1. Forslaget går ut på at aksjekapitalen i Selskapet reduseres til NOK 0 før samtlige aksjonærer i PetroNor E&P Ltd. skyter inn deres aksjer i PetroNor E&P Ltd. som tingsinnskudd. Som vederlag vil aksjonærene i PetroNor E&P Ltd. motta aksjer i Selskapet i forholdet 1 til 1. Forslaget om kapitalnedsettelse i punkt 5 forutsetter således at det samtidig vedtas kapitalforhøyelse i punkt 6.

UNOFFICIAL OFFICE TRANSLATION – IN CASE OF DISCREPANCY THE NORWEGIAN VERSION SHALL PREVAIL:

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING IN PETRONOR E&P ASA

The Board of Directors (the "Board") hereby calls for an extraordinary general meeting of PetroNor E&P ASA, reg.no. 927 866 951 (the "Company"), which will be held 18:00 CET on 23 February 2022. The meeting will be held electronically through Teams.

The Company's sole shareholder, PetroNor E&P Ltd., has agreed to deviate from the rules on notice in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act.

The chair of the Board or a person appointed by him will open the general meeting and perform registration of shareholders in attendance and by proxy.

  • 1. ÅPNING AV GENERALFORSAMLINGEN 1. OPENING OF THE GENERAL MEETING
    • 2. REGISTRATION OF ATTENDING SHAREHOLDERS AND PROXIES
    • 3. APPROVAL OF THE NOTICE AND THE AGENDA OF THE MEETING
    • 4. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING AND AT LEAST ONE PERSON TO CO-SIGN THE MINUTES TOGETHER WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

5. KAPITALNEDSETTELSE 5. REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The board wishes to issue new shares in the Company to existing shareholders in PetroNor E&P Ltd. in the ratio of 1 to 1. The proposal is that the share capital in the Company is reduced to NOK 0 before all shareholders in PetroNor E&P Ltd. contribute their shares in PetroNor E&P Ltd. as a contribution in-kind. In return, the shareholders of PetroNor E&P Ltd. receive shares in the Company in a ratio of 1 to 1. The proposal for a capital reduction in section 5 thus presupposes that a capital increase is also adopted in section 6.

Virkningen av at det gjennomføres kapitalnedsettelse og umiddelbart etterpå gjennomføres kapitalforhøyelse ved tingsinnskudd er at Selskapets bundne egenkapital blir minst like høy som før kapitalnedsettelsen. Kapitalendringene kan derfor gjennomføres uten kreditorvarsel, jf. asal. § 12-5 (2).

På denne bakgrunn foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

  • (i) Aksjekapitalen settes ned fra NOK 1 000 000 med NOK 1 000 000 til NOK 0 ved innløsning av 100 000 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 10 per aksje.
  • (ii) Nedsettingsbeløpet er i sin helhet skattemessig innbetalt kapital og NOK 944 771,50 skal utbetales til Selskapets eneaksjonær.

Beregningen av dekning for aksjekapital og øvrig bundet egenkapital er foretatt på grunnlag av mellombalanse som ble fastsatt av generalforsamlingen den 16 november 2021. Beregningen tar hensyn til at det foretas kapitalforhøyelse umiddelbart etter kapitalnedsettelsen. Mellombalansen er vedlagt som vedlegg 3.

Selskapet har gjennomført prosessen med "scheme of arrangement" i Australia med det formål å flytte PetroNor E&P Ltd. til Norge. Ut over dette, foreligger det ikke hendelser etter siste balansedag som er av vesentlig betydning for Selskapet og vedtaket om kapitalendring

Styrets forslag om kapitalnedsettelse er betinget av at generalforsamlingen vedtar en kapitalforhøyelse som gir Selskapet minst like høy bundet egenkapital som før kapitalnedsettelsen, jf. styrets forslag nedenfor. Det fremmes derfor ikke eget forslag om endring av vedtektene i anledning kapitalnedsettelsen.

Styret ønsker å utstede nye aksjer i Selskapet til eksisterende aksjonærer i PetroNor E&P Ltd. i forholdet 1 til 1. Forslaget går ut på at aksjekapitalen i Selskapet reduseres til NOK 0 før samtlige aksjonærer i PetroNor E&P Ltd. skyter The effect of a capital reduction being carried out and an immediate capital increase being carried out by contribution in-kind is that the Company's restricted equity is at least as high as before the capital reduction. The capital changes can therefore be implemented without creditor notice, cf. the Public Companies Act section 12-5 (2).

On this basis, the board proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The share capital is reduced from NOK 1,000,000 by NOK 1,000,000 to NOK 0 upon redemption of 100,000 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 10 per share.
  • (ii) The reduction amount is paid-in capital in its entirety and NOK 944,771.50 shall be paid to the Company's sole shareholder.

The calculation of coverage for share capital and other restricted equity is made on the basis of an interim balance sheet that was approved by the general meeting on 16 November 2021. The calculation takes into account that a capital increase is made immediately after the capital reduction. The interim balance sheet is appended as appendix 3.

The Company has carried out the process of "scheme of arrangement" in Australia with the aim of moving PetroNor E&P Ltd. to Norway. Beyond this, there are no events after the last balance sheet date that are of material importance to the Company and the decision to change capital.

The board's proposal for a capital reduction is conditional on the general meeting approving a capital increase that gives the Company at least as high restricted equity as before the capital reduction, cf. the board's proposal below. Therefore, no separate proposal is submitted to amend the Articles of Association in connection with the capital reduction.

6. KAPITALFORHØYELSE VED TINGSINNSKUDD 6. SHARE CAPITAL INCREASE BY CONTRIBUTION IN-KIND

The board wishes to issue new shares in the Company to existing shareholders in PetroNor E&P Ltd. in the ratio of 1 to 1. The proposal is that the share capital in the Company is reduced to NOK 0 before all shareholders in PetroNor E&P

På denne bakgrunn foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

  • (i) Aksjekapitalen forhøyes med NOK 1 326 991,006 fra NOK 0 til NOK 1 326 991,006 ved utstedelse av totalt 1 326 991 006 nye aksjer pålydende NOK 0,001. Vedtektene skal endres tilsvarende slik at de lyder som i vedlegg 1.
  • (ii) Tegningskursen for de nye aksjene skal være NOK 0,947058 per aksje, slik at samlet tegningsbeløp blir NOK 1 256 737 709,130520, hvor NOK 1 255 410 718,124520 utgjør overkurs.
  • (iii) George Jens Soby Pace skal tegne seg for totalt 1 326 991 006 aksjer i henhold til den Australske "scheme of arrangement" som følger:

Eierne av depository receipts ("Kvalifiserte Innehaverne") vil motta én aksje i Selskapet for hver depository receipt en eier på Registreringsdatoen. De Kvalifiserte Innehaverne vil bli tildelt det aktuelle antallet aksjer i Selskapet på deres respektive VPS-kontoer etter kapitalforhøyelsen er registrert i Foretaksregisteret; og

Based on the above, the board proposes that the general meeting resolves to increase the Company's share capital as follows:

  • (i) The Company's share capital is increased by NOK 1,326,991.006 from NOK 0 to NOK 1,326,991.006 by issuing 1,326,991,006 new common shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.001 per share. The articles of association shall be amended accordingly to read as attached in appendix 1.

Such holders of depository receipts (being the "Eligible Holders") will receive one share in the Company for each depository receipt held as of the Record Date. The Eligible Shareholders will be delivered the relevant number of shares in the Company on their respective VPS accounts after the share capital increase has been registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises; and

Redegjørelse ved kapitalforhøyelse ved tingsinnskudd i PetroNor E&P ASA

INNLEDNING

På oppdrag fra styret i PetroNor E&P ASA, org.nr. 927 866 951 («PetroNor»), avgir KWC Revisjon AS som uavhengig sakkyndig denne redegjørelsen i samsvar med allmennaksjeloven § 10-2, jf. § 2-6. Denne redegjørelsen gjelder styrets forslag til rettet emisjon ved aksjeinnskudd med aksjer i PetroNor E&P Limited ("PetroNor Australia") som tingsinnskudd. PetroNor Australia er et uavhengig olje- og gasselskap hjemmehørende i Australia, som primært driver virksomhet i Afrika sør for Sahara. PetroNor Australia er notert på Oslo Euronext Expand, ved at såkalte depository receipts for selskapets aksjer omsettes på Oslo Euronext Expand.

Den rettede emisjonen tenkes gjennomført i forbindelse med en planlagt redomisil av PetroNor Australia og selskapets datterselskaper, fra Australia til Norge (dvs. overføring av selskapets virksomhet til et norskregistrert selskap). Redomisilen vil bli gjennomført i form av et såkalt «Scheme of arrangement» («Scheme»), hvoretter PetroNor vil overta samtlige aksjer i PetroNor Australia. Scheme er en australsk lovregulert prosess, som blant annet innebærer inngåelse av en avtale mellom PetroNor Australia og selskapets aksjonærer, om å rekonstruere selskapets aksjekapital, eiendeler eller forpliktelser. Så snart denne avtalen er vedtatt av aksjonærene i generalforsamling og godkjent av australsk domstol, er et slikt scheme of arrangement bindende for samtlige av selskapets aksjonærer.

Kapitalinnskuddet i PetroNor vil bestå av samtlige 1 326 991 006 fullt innbetalte ordinære aksjer i PetroNor Australia. Aksjonærene i PetroNor Australia vil motta én aksje i PetroNor for hver aksje i Petronor Australia. Umiddelbart i forkant av kapitalforhøyelsen vil aksjekapitalen bli satt ned til NOK 0 ved innløsning av 100 000 aksjer, hver pålydende NOK 10 per aksje.

Avtalen om å gjennomføre Scheme ble inngått mellom PetroNor Australia, PetroNor og PetroNor Australia sine aksjonærer den 7. oktober 2021. Gjennomføringen av denne avtalen er betinget av at PetroNor godkjennes for notering ved Oslo Euronext Expand eller Oslo Børs (hovedlisten).

STYRETS ANSVAR FOR REDEGJØRELSEN

Styret er ansvarlig for informasjonen redegjørelsen bygger på og de verdsettelser som er gjort.

UAVHENGIG SAKKYNDIGES OPPGAVER OG PLIKTER

Vår oppgave er å utarbeide en redegjørelse om aksjeinnskuddet i form av aksjene i PetroNor Australia, og å avgi en uttalelse om at de aksjene som skytes inn ved kapitalforhøyelsen, har en verdi som minst svarer til vederlaget.

Den videre redegjørelsen består av to deler. Den første delen («Opplysninger om innskuddet») er en presentasjon av opplysninger i overensstemmelse med de krav som stilles i allmennaksjeloven § 10-2, jf. § 2- 6 første ledd nr. 1 til 4. Den andre delen («Den uavhengig sakkyndiges uttalelse») er vår uttalelse om at de aksjene PetroNor skal overta, har en verdi som minst svarer til vederlaget.

DEL 1: OPPLYSNINGER OM INNSKUDDET

PetroNor har foreslått en samlet kapitalforhøyelse på NOK 1 326 991,006. Ved mottak av kapitalinnskuddet vil PetroNor bli eier av 1 326 991 006 aksjer i PetroNor Australia, med oppgjør i aksjer i PetroNor som utstedes til fordel for aksjonærene i PetroNor Australia.

Styret i PetroNor har fastsatt en samlet egenkapitalverdi for PetroNor Australia på NOK 1 256 737 709,130520, svarende til en pris pr. PetroNor Australia-aksje på NOK 0,947058. Egenkapitalverdien er fastsatt basert på volumvektet gjennomsnittlig aksjekurs over de 10 siste dagene aksjene (egentlig depository receipts) i PetroNor Australia ble omsatt ved Oslo Euronext Expand. I tillegg til at egenkapitalverdien er avledet fra observert børsverdi, er den også understøttet av styrets egne vurderinger, samt av eksterne finansanalytikere som dekker PetroNor. I tillegg har rådgiverselskapet Stantons Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ("Stantons") vært engasjert av styret i PetroNor Australia for å avgi en uavhengig vurdering av hvorvidt redomisilet er i aksjonærenes interesse. Stantons konklusjon er at redomisilet er i aksjonærenes interesse.

Styret i PetroNor foreslår at det utstedes 1 326 991 006 nye aksjer i PetroNor basert på innskudd av aksjene i PetroNor Australia, hver pålydende NOK 0,001. Tegningsbeløpet for aksjene som skal utstedes vil være NOK 1 256 737 709,130520. Av tegningskursen vil NOK 1 326 991,006 være aksjekapital og NOK 1 255 410 718,124520 vil være overkurs. Ved mottak av aksjene i PetroNor Australia blir PetroNor eier av en aksjebeholdning som pr. 23.02.2022 hadde en verdi som minst tilsvarer verdien av vederlaget bestående av 1 326 991 006 aksjer i PetroNor.

DEL 2: DEN UAVHENGIG SAKKYNDIGES UTTALELSE

Vi har utført vår kontroll og avgir vår uttalelse i samsvar med standard for attestasjonsoppdrag SA 3802-1 "Revisors uttalelser og redegjørelser etter aksjelovgivningen". Standarden krever at vi planlegger og utfører kontroller for å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at de eiendeler selskapet skal overta, har en verdi som minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget. Arbeidet omfatter kontroll av verdsettelsen av innskuddet herunder vurderingsprinsippene. Videre har vi vurdert de verdsettelsesmetoder som er benyttet, og de forutsetninger som ligger til grunn for verdsettelsen.

Etter vår oppfatning er innhentet bevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

KONKLUSJON

Etter vår mening er aksjene som PetroNor skal overta ved kapitalforhøyelsen verdsatt i overensstemmelse med de beskrevne prinsipper og har en verdi pr. 23.02.2022 som minst tilsvarer det avtalte vederlaget som utstedes i forbindelse med kapitalforhøyelsen, herunder en samlet aksjekapital på NOK 1 326 991,006 med tillegg av overkurs NOK 1 255 410 718,124520.

To the Shareholders' Meeting of PetroNor E&P ASA

Report on share capital increase by contribution in kind in PetroNor E&P ASA

INTRODUCTION

As independent expert and on instructions from the Board of Directors in PetroNor E&P ASA, reg.no. 927 866 951 ("PetroNor"), KWC Revisjon AS report in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2, cf. section 2-6. This report concerns the board's proposal for a private placement by way of contribution in kind of shares in PetroNor E&P Limited ("PetroNor Australia"). PetroNor Australia is an Australia incorporated, independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Sub-Saharan Africa. PetroNor Australia is listed on the Oslo Euronext Expand, by way of depository receipts, a regulated financial market controlled by the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The private placement is carried out in connection with a planned redomicile of PetroNor Australia and its subsidiaries from Australia to Norway. The redomicile will be carried out by way of a so-called scheme of arrangement ("Scheme") is intended to effect the acquisition by PetroNor, of all of the PetroNor Australia Shares held by the shareholders. The Scheme is an Australian statutory contract between the target company and its members to reconstruct the company's share capital, assets or liabilities. Once approved by members in general meeting and approved by the Court, a scheme is binding on all shareholders of the company.

The contribution in kind will thus comprise 1,326,991,006 fully paid ordinary shares in Petronor Australia, the consideration for which will be one PetroNor share for each PetroNor Australia share. Prior to the contribution in kind, the share capital will be reduced to NOK 0 upon redemption of 100,000 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 10 per share.

The agreement to implement the Scheme was entered into between PetroNor Australia, PetroNor and the shareholders of PetroNor Australia on 7 October 2021. The authorization for listing of PetroNor to the Oslo Børs or Euronet Expand (as applicable) is a condition precedent to the Scheme.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY

The Board is responsible for the information on which this report is based, and for the valuations which are the basis for determining the share consideration.

THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to prepare a report regarding the share contribution by way of the Shares, and to express an opinion on whether the contribution in kind has a value least corresponding to the consideration.

The remaining report is divided into two parts. The first part is a description of the contribution, in accordance with the requirements set out in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2, cf. section 2-6, numbers 1 through 4. The second part is our opinion on whether the Shares at least equals the consideration.

PART 1: INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTION

The board of directors of PetroNor has proposed a share capital increase of NOK 1,326,991.006. As of receipt of the capital contribution, PetroNor becomes the owner of 1,326,991,006 shares in PetroNor Australia, against a consideration in the form of shares in PetroNor, issued to the shareholders of PetroNor Australia.

The board of directors of PetroNor has set out an equity value of PetroNor Australia of NOK 1,256,737,709.130520 corresponding to a price per PetroNor Australia share of NOK 0.947058. The agreed equity value is based on 10 days VWAP from the 10 last days of trading prior to the Scheme. In addition to being supported by recently observed share price of PetroNor, the equity value is also supported by both the board of directors' internal assessments, as well as by external financial analysts covering PetroNor. Further, Stantons Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ("Stantons") has been engaged by PetroNor Australia to prepare an independent expert's report to assess whether the proposed redomicile transaction is in the interests of the shareholders. Stantons has concluded that the Scheme is in the best interest of the shareholders.

The board of directors of PetroNor has proposed to issue 1,326,991,006 new shares in PetroNor against the PetroNor Australia shares contributed, each with a nominal amount of NOK 0.001. The subscription amount for the PetroNor shares to be issued will be NOK 1,256,737,709.130520. Of the subscription price, NOK 1,326,991.006 will constitute the nominal amount and NOK 1,255,410,718.124520 will constitute share premium. Upon receipt of the PetroNor Australia shares, PetroNor becomes the owner of shares which as of 23 February 2022 had a value at least corresponding to the value of the consideration consisting of 1,326,991,006 new shares in PetroNor.

PART 2: THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S REPORT

We have conducted our review and issue our statement in accordance with the Norwegian standard SA 3802-1 "The auditor's statements and reports pursuant to Norwegian company legislation". The standard requires that we plan and perform our review to obtain reasonable assurance for the fact that the value of the assets to be taken over by PetroNor at least equals the agreed consideration. The work includes a review of the valuation of the contribution including the assessment principles. We have also assessed the valuation methods applied and the assumptions on which the valuation is based.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to constitute a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSION

In our opinion, the PetroNor Australia shares which will be contributed in kind to PetroNor have an aggregate value per 23 February 2022 at least equaling the agreed consideration of shares in PetroNor which is issued in connection with the share capital increase, including the aggregate nominal amount of NOK 1,326,991.006 and aggregate share premium of NOK 1,255,410,718.124520.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Corporate information

Petronor E&P ASA is a public limited company, incorporated in Norway.

Registered Office

Frøyas gate 13 0243 Oslo Norway ' +47 22 55 46 07

Directors

The names of Directors in office during the financial period and until the date of approval of these financial statements are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Role Appointed
Current members:
E Alhomouz Non-Exec Chairman 1 October 2021
J Pace Non-Exec Director 1 October 2021
I Tybring-Gjedde Non-Exec Director 1 October 2021
G Kielland Non-Exec Director 1 October 2021
J Iskander Non-Exec Director 8 October 2021

The Company was established on 1 October 2021, and these are the first financial statements prepared for Petronor E&P ASA and cover the month period ended 31 October 2021. The financial statements were approved by written resolution of the board on 11 November 2021.

These financial statements have been prepared to support the listing application by the Company to the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Company has been incorporated with the intention to replace the Australian registered parent company, PetroNor E&P Ltd (PetroNor Australia), at the top of the group.

PetroNor Australia is currently listed on Oslo Euronext Expand, but has proposed to its shareholders to redomicile to Norway via a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). The Company and PetroNor Australia entered into the Scheme Implementation Agreement on 7 October 2021. Under the Scheme, all of PetroNor Australia shares held by PetroNor Australia shareholders will be transferred to the Company. In exchange PetroNor Australia shareholders will receive one new Company share for every one PetroNor Australia share held as at the Scheme record date. Completion of the Scheme is conditional on various shareholder and court approvals in addition to the Company's ability to list its shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange. If the Scheme is implemented, the Company will become the top company in the consolidated group and will inherit the existing commitments and contingencies of the consolidated group from current parent company PetroNor E&P Ltd.

The re-domiciliation is not expected to result in any material changes to the PetroNor Australia Group's assets, management, operations or strategy and is expected to be structured in a tax-neutral basis to the Company and its shareholders.

The Company has yet to start trading, but once it has replaced its parent Company as the top company in the Group via the proposed Scheme, it will takeover the Group's principal activities of exploration and production of oil and gas.

The financial statements of PetroNor E&P Ltd are publicly available on its website www.petronorep.com and also available on the historic press releases to the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker PNOR.

2. Basis of preparation

PetroNor E&P ASA's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and are mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.

There are no areas involving a high degree of judgment or complexity.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and events under otherwise similar circumstances.

The financial report is presented in Norwegian Kroner.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

7. Risk Management

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at 31 October 2021, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements, which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties and financial guarantees provided by the Company arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.

To minimise credit risk, the Company has tasked its management to develop and maintain the Group's credit risk gradings to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the management uses other publicly available financial information and the Company's own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Company's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

The Company's current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Category Description Basis for
recognising
expected
credit losses
Performing The counterparty has a low risk
of default and does not have any
past-due amounts
12-month ECL
Doubtful Amount is >30 days past due or
there has been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial
recognition
Lifetime ECL –
not credit
impaired
In default Amount is >90 days past due or
there is evidence indicating the
asset is credit-impaired
Lifetime ECL –
credit-impaired
Write-off There is evidence indicating that
the debtor is in severe financial
difficulty and the Company has
no realistic prospect of recovery
Amount is
written off

The table below details the credit quality of the Company's financial assets as well as the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk by credit risk rating grades.

Other receivables As at 31 October 2021
n/a External credit rating
- Internal credit rating
Lifetime ECL 12 month or lifetime ECL
1,000,000 Gross carrying amount NOK
- Loss allowance NOK
1,000,000 Net carrying amount

For other receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The expected credit losses are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.

Liquidity risk

The Company seeks to limit its liquidity risk by ensuring financial support is available from the shareholders. Trade payables are normally settled within 90 to 120 days of the date of receipt of invoice.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities at 31 October 2021 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

8. Financial instruments – Fair values

Financial instruments comprise financial assets and financial liabilities.

Financial assets consist of bank balances and cash. Financial liabilities consist of other liabilities.

The fair values of the Group's financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying amounts at the reporting date largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

9. Commitments and contingencies

As of the perioed ended 31 October 2021 the Company had no commitments or contingencies.

10. Events subsequent to reporting date

The Company has not identified any events with significant accounting impacts that have occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date of this report.

11. Summary of significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and due to their short-term nature, they are not discounted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Share capital

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of any one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

(i) Financial assets

The Company´s financial assets are other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company's business model for managing them. The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value.

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and,

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and generally have a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value. Loans, borrowings and payables are recognised at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Derivatives are financial liabilities when the fair value is negative, accounted for similarly as derivatives as assets.

Loans, borrowings and payables

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Payables are measured at their nominal amount when the effect of discounting is not material.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Events after the reporting period

New information on the company's financial position on the end of the reporting period which becomes known after the reporting period is recorded in the annual accounts. Events after the reporting period that do not affect the company's financial position on the end of the reporting period but which will affect the company's financial position in the future are disclosed if significant.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of PetroNor E&P ASA.

The financial statements comprise:

  • The balance sheet as at 31 October 2021
  • The income statement, statement of comprehensive income for the month period ended 31 October 2021
  • Statement of changes in equity
  • Statement of cash flows for the month period ended 31 October 2021
  • Notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies

In our opinion:

The accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company for the month period ended 31 October 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the month period ended 31 October 2021, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company as required by laws and regulations, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related 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.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 ISAs 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 financial statements.
