NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As at June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

1. NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION

Petrus Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or "Petrus") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 25, 2015. The principal undertaking of Petrus is the investment in energy business-related assets. The operations of the Company consist of the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of these assets. These consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities and are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries, Petrus Resources Corp. and Petrus Resources Inc.

The Company’s head office is located at 2400, 240 - 4th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

These interim consolidated financial statements, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and prior year comparative period, were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors on August 10, 2021.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company's revolving credit facility ("RCF") and Term Loan are due on July 14, 2021 and September 14, 2021, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the lenders have extended the maturity date of the RCF from July 14 to August 13, 2021. In addition, the Company extended the maturity of the Term Loan from September 14 to October 14, 2021. The borrowings under the RCF and the Term Loan are classified as current liabilities in the June 30, 2021 interim consolidated financial statements. The Company remains in compliance with each financial covenant. However, the classification of the debt instruments resulted in a working capital deficiency (excluding non-cash risk management assets and liabilities, and lease obligations) of $110.3 million as at June 30, 2021.

The Company is actively engaging with the RCF syndicate of lenders and the Term Loan lender to extend the RCF and Term Loan. However, there can be no certainty as to the ability of the Company to successfully extend its RCF and Term Loan. There is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a historical basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency, except where otherwise noted.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates can be read in note 3 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reviewed with the financial statement effect being recognized in the reporting period that the changes to estimates are made.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. The rapid outbreak and subsequent measures intended to limit the spread of COVID-19 have contributed to a significant increase in economic uncertainty, with more volatile commodity prices, currency exchange rates and interest rates. The duration and severity of the business disruptions and reduction in consumer activity internationally and

==> picture [176 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

the resulting financial effect is difficult to reliably estimate. The results of the potential economic downturn and any potential resulting direct or indirect effect on the Company has been considered in management’s estimates at period end; however, there could be a further prospective material effect in future periods.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenses of $0.1 million which relates to expired and nearly expired undeveloped, non-core land (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – nil).

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $0.05 million and $0.10 million, respectively, of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $0.05 million and $0.13 million) and $0.004 million and $0.008 million of non-cash share-based compensation directly attributable to exploration activities (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $0.01 million and $0.02 million).

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had transferred $4.8 million from E&E assets to PP&E assets, related to the Kakwa CGU that was brought on production during the quarter. Upon transfer of the E&E assets to PP&E, an impairment test was performed on the assets transferred. No impairment was identified upon transfer of the assets from E&E to PP&E.

The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment or impairment reversal for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the significant decrease in forward benchmark commodity prices in the first quarter, the Company identified indicators of impairment and conducted an impairment test on all of the Company's Cash Generating Units ("CGUs"). No impairment was recorded for the Foothills, Central Alberta and Kakwa CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the Ferrier CGU, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $23.0 million on its E&E assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company had also tested the Ferrier CGU for impairment on December 31, 2020 and did not record any further impairment.

(1)Right of use asset pertains to corporate office lease.

At June 30, 2021, estimated future development costs of $252.3 million (December 31, 2020 – $252.3 million) associated with the development of the Company’s proved plus probable undeveloped reserves were included with the costs subject to depletion. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $0.04 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $0.1 million and $0.4 million) and non-cash share-based compensation of $0.01 million and $0.02 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – $0.02 million and $0.05 million), directly attributable to development activities.

During the three months June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million on the disposition of certain E&E and PP&E assets in the Foothills CGU for cash consideration of $0.1 million and the assumption of $2.4 million of decommissioning liabilities.

During the three months June 30, 2021, the Company had transferred $4.8 million from E&E assets to PP&E assets, related to the Kakwa CGU that was brought on production during the quarter. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment in any of the Company's CGUs as at June 30, 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the significant decrease in forward benchmark commodity prices in the first quarter, the Company identified indicators of impairment and conducted an impairment test on all of the Company's CGUs. No impairment was recorded for the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the Ferrier CGU, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $75 million on its PP&E asset on March 31, 2020, as the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount. The Company had also tested the Ferrier CGU for impairment on December 31, 2020 and did not record any further impairment.

No impairment was recorded for the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, the carrying balance of the right of use asset was $0.9 million.

5. DEBT

Petrus has two debt instruments outstanding. The first is a reserve-based, senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, which is comprised of an operating facility and a syndicated term-out facility (together, the “Revolving Credit Facility” or “RCF”). The second is a subordinated secured term loan (the “Term Loan”).

(a) Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2021 the RCF was comprised of a $20.0 million operating facility and a $57.5 million syndicated term-out facility with a maturity date of July 14, 2021. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had a $0.6 million letter of credit outstanding against the RCF (December 31, 2020 – $0.6 million) and had drawn $74.4 million against the RCF (December 31, 2020 – $77.5 million).

==> picture [20 x 28] intentionally omitted <==

Page |7

==> picture [176 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

The amount of the RCF is subject to a borrowing base review performed on a semi-annual basis by the lenders, based primarily on reserves and commodity prices estimated by the lenders as well as other factors. In addition, asset dispositions require unanimous lender consent. A decrease in the borrowing base could result in a reduction to the available credit under the RCF. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date for the RCF is on or before November 30, 2021. In the event that the lenders reduce the borrowing base below the amount drawn at the time of redetermination, the Company has 60 days to eliminate any shortfall by repaying amounts in excess of the new re-determined borrowing base.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the lenders have extended the maturity date of the RCF from July 14 to August 13, 2021. The Company is actively engaged with the RCF lenders to further extend the maturity date of RCF.

(b) Term Loan

At June 30, 2021 the Company had a $38.7 million Term Loan outstanding (December 31, 2020 – $36.5 million), which is due September 14, 2021. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. The Term Loan bears interest that accrues at a per annum rate of the (three-month) Canadian Dealer Offered Rate plus 975 basis points. All of the interest will be made by way of payment-in-kind ("PIK") and added to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan in lieu of monthly payment of cash interest.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company extended the maturity of the Term Loan to October 14, 2021. The Company is actively engaged with the Term Loan lenders to further extend the maturity date of Term Loan.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency (excluding non-cash risk management assets and liabilities) of $110.3 million due to the classification of the Company's borrowings under its RCF and Term Loan as current liabilities. See note 2. However, the Company remains in compliance with all financial covenants pertaining to its debt, and based on current available information relating to future production volumes, forward commodity pricing, future costs including capital, operating and general and administrative, forward exchange rates, interest rates and taxes, all of which are subject to measurement uncertainty, management expects to comply with all financial covenants during the subsequent 12 month period.

Financial Covenants

The Company's RCF and Term Loan are subject to certain financial covenants. For the financial covenants' definitions and calculation methodology refer to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The key financial covenants as at June 30, 2021 are summarized in the following table. At June 30, 2021 the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

7. DECOMMISSIONING OBLIGATION

The decommissioning liability was estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, the estimated costs to abandon and reclaim the wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. The estimated future cash flows have been discounted using an average risk free rate of 1.77 percent and an inflation rate of 1.90 percent (1.1 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively at December 31, 2020). Changes in estimates in 2020 and 2021 are due to the changes in the risk free rate and changes in the estimated future cash flow to reclaim the wells and facilities. The Company has estimated the net present value of the decommissioning obligations to be $40.1 million as at June 30, 2021 ($44.5 million at December 31, 2020). The undiscounted, uninflated total future liability at June 30, 2021 is $38.9 million ($41.4 million at December 31, 2020). The payments are expected to be incurred over the operating lives of the assets.

The following table reconciles the decommissioning liability:

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

The Company has a stock option plan in place whereby it may issue stock options to employees, consultants and directors of the Company. The aggregate number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise of all options granted pursuant to the plans shall, at any date or time of determination, be equal to ten percent (10%) of the number that is equal to (i) the number of the Company’s basic common shares then issued and outstanding; minus (ii) a number equal to five (5) times the number of common shares that are issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Performance Warrants, if any, minus (iii) a number equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of common shares that have previously been issued upon the exercise of Performance Warrants, if any.

At June 30, 2021, 2,098,325 (December 31, 2020 – 2,276,923) stock options were outstanding. The summary of stock option activity is presented below:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted options which vest equally over three years, and upon vesting, expire 30 business days thereafter. The weighted average fair value of each option granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $0.11 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

2021 2020
Risk free interest rate 0.15% - 0.49% 0.20% - 0.29%
Expected life (years) 1.08 - 3.08 1.08 - 3.08
Estimated volatility of underlying common shares (%) 100 % 80% to 100%
Estimated forfeiture rate 30 % 20 %
Expected dividendyield (%) — % — %

Petrus estimated the volatility of the underlying common shares by analyzing the Company's volatility as well as the volatility of peer group public companies with similar corporate structure, oil and gas assets and size.

Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan

The Company has a deferred share unit plan in place whereby it may issue deferred share units to directors of the Company. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued from treasury of Petrus pursuant to the plan shall not exceed: (i) five percent (5%) of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) at the date of issue; and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) at the date of issue, less the aggregate number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance under any other share compensation plan.

Each DSU entitles the participants to receive, at the Company's discretion, either shares of the Company or cash equal to the trading price of the equivalent number of shares of the Company. All DSUs granted vest and become payable upon retirement of the director.

The compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method based on the trading price of the Company's shares on the grant date. At June 30, 2021, 1,618,702 DSUs were issued and outstanding (December 2020 – 2,158,270). During the first quarter of 2021, the Company settled 539,568 DSUs for $0.2 million in cash.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risks associated with financial instruments

Credit risk

The Company’s accounts receivable are with customers and joint venture partners in the petroleum and natural gas business and are subject to normal credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is mitigated by marketing the majority of the Company’s production to reputable and financially sound purchasers under normal industry sale and payment terms. As is common in the petroleum and natural gas industry in western Canada, Petrus’ receivables relating to the sale of petroleum and natural gas are received on or about the 25th day of the following month. Of the $12.3 million of accounts receivable outstanding at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 – $6.3 million), $8.8 million is owed from 4 parties (December 31, 2020 – $4.7 million from 3 parties), and the balances were received subsequent to June 30, 2021. The Company considers accounts receivable outstanding past 120 days to be 'past due'. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million (December 31, 2020 – $0.5 million). At June 30, 2021, 96% of Petrus’ accounts receivable were aged less than 120 days and 4% of Petrus' accounts receivable were aged greater than 120 days. The Company does not anticipate any material collection issues.

The Company’s risk management assets and cash are with chartered Canadian banks and the Company does not consider these assets to carry material credit risk.

==> picture [176 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Liquidity risk

At June 30, 2021, the Company had a $77.5 million RCF, on which $74.4 million was drawn (December 31, 2020 – $77.5 million). While the Company is exposed to the risk of reductions to the borrowing base of the RCF, the Company anticipates it will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through funds flow and available credit capacity from its RCF. See additional discussion in note 5.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2021:

$000s Total < 1 year 1-5 years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 11,370 11,370
Risk management liability 8,936 8,936
Bank indebtedness and current portion of long term debt(1) 113,114 113,114
Lease obligations 918 202 716
Total 134,338 133,622 716

(1)Excludes deferred finance fees.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash, bank indebtedness and accounts receivable are not exposed to significant interest rate risk. The RCF and Term Loan are exposed to interest rate cash flow risk as the instruments are priced on a floating interest rate subject to fluctuations in market interest rates. The remainder of Petrus’ financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk. To manage exposure to interest rate volatility, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts (note 8). A 1% increase in the Canadian prime interest rate during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 would have increased net loss by approximately $0.9 million per year, which relates to interest expense on the average outstanding RCF and Term Loan, net of any interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on loans, during the period assuming that all other variables remain constant (June 30, 2020 – $1.0 million). A 1% decrease in the Canadian prime interest rate during the year would result in an opposite impact on net loss.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. A significant change in commodity prices can materially impact the Company’s borrowing base limit under its Revolving Credit Facility and may reduce the Company’s ability to raise capital. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are not only influenced by Canadian and United States demand, but also by world events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.

The Company manages the risks associated with changes in commodity prices by entering into a variety of financial derivative contracts (see note 8). The Company assesses the effects of movement in commodity prices on net loss. When assessing the potential impact of these commodity price changes, the Company believes a $5/CDN WTI/bbl change in the price of oil and a $0.25/GJ change in the price of natural gas are reasonable measures.

As at June 30, 2021, it was estimated that a $0.25/GJ decrease in the price of natural gas would have decreased net loss by $1.3 million (June 30, 2020 – $1.6 million). An opposite change in commodity prices would result in an opposite impact on net loss. As at June 30, 2021, it was estimated that a $5.00/ CDN WTI/bbl decrease in the price of oil would have decreased net loss by $1.5 million (June 30, 2020 – $1.1 million). An opposite change in commodity prices would result in an opposite impact on net loss.

14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s general capital management policy is to maintain a sufficient capital base in order to manage its business to enable the Company to increase the value of its assets and therefore its underlying share value. In the management of capital, the Company includes share capital and total net debt, which is made up of debt and working capital (current assets less current liabilities). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Petrus may issue new equity, increase or decrease debt, adjust capital expenditures and acquire or dispose of assets.
