Q1 - 2021

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. (all tabular amounts in Canadian dollars 000s, unless otherwise indicated)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Pine Cliff Energy Ltd. (“ Pine Cliff ” or the “ Company ”) is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“ TSX ”) and incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) . The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 850, 1015 - 4th Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2R 1J4. Common shares of the Company (“ Common Shares ”) are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“ TSX ”) under the symbol “ PNE ”.

Pine Cliff is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and conducts many of its activities jointly with others; these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “ Financial Statements ”) reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting using International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”).

The Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“ Annual Financial Statements ”).

The accounting policies, basis of measurement, critical accounting judgments and significant estimates to prepare the Annual Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements

The Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) on May 5, 2021.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments and fair value measurement

Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, due to related party, subordinated promissory notes and Term debt, as defined herein. The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate their respective fair values due to the short time before maturing. The carrying values of due to related party, subordinated promissory notes and Term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their interest rates reflecting current market conditions.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are classified into levels, reflecting the method used to make the measurements. Level 1 fair value measurements are based on quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Pine Cliff has no level 2 or level 3 financial instruments. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level.

The following table sets out the Company’s classification, carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Q1 - 2021

4. INVESTMENTS

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had an investment in a public company of $0.3 million, which was received as partial consideration of $0.4 million (see Note 6), and a decrease in fair value recorded to Other Comprehensive Loss.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to both financial and non-financial risks inherent in the oil and gas business. Financial risks include: commodity prices, interest rates, equity price, foreign exchange, credit availability and liquidity. Financial risks can be managed, at least to a degree, through the utilization of financial instruments. Certain non-financial risks can be mitigated through the use of insurance and/or other risk transfer mechanisms, good business practices and process controls, while others must simply be borne. All risks can have an impact upon the financial performance of the Company. The Company’s exposure to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk are consistent with those disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements, except as described in this note.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk since its revenues are dependent on the prices of crude oil, natural gas liquids (“ NGL ”), and natural gas. Commodity prices have fluctuated widely during recent years due to global and regional factors including, but not limited to, supply and demand, inventory levels, weather, economic changes and geopolitical factors and instability. Changes in oil, NGL’s and natural gas prices may have a significant effect, positively or negatively, on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations, capital spending targets and expected operational results. A material decline or extended period of low oil, NGL or natural gas prices could result in a reduction of net production revenue. The economics of producing from some wells may change because of lower prices, which could result in reduced production of oil, NGL’s or natural gas and a reduction in the volumes of Pine Cliff’s reserves. Management may also elect not to produce from certain wells at lower prices. The Company does not hedge its crude oil or NGL commodity price risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Pine Cliff’s average sales volumes were 90% natural gas.

Physical Sales Contracts

At March 31, 2021, the Company had the following physical natural gas sales contracts in place:
