SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4

SONORO ENERGY LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021

1. Nature of Business and Going Concern

a) Nature of business

Sonoro Energy Ltd. (“Sonoro” or “the Company”) was incorporated February 4, 2000 in British Columbia, Canada and commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“the TSX-V”) on November 29, 2000. Effective August 7, 2013, the Company was continued from British Columbia to Alberta with the registered office at 4300, 888 3[rd] Street S.W. Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 5C5. The Company’s corporate office is located at Suite 600, 520 – 5th Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SNV.

The business of the Company, either directly or through its wholly owned subsidiaries, consists of the exploration for, appraisal of and development and production of oil and gas resources, focused in South East Asia. The Company operates in jurisdictions that may be subject to changes in government practices and policies.

b) Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards 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.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining additional sources of capital to explore, appraise and develop its oil and gas resource assets, continuing to receive support and cooperation from its creditors, achieving profitable operations in Indonesia through the discovery of oil and gas resources, maintaining production sharing contracts in good standing and no significant adverse legal, political and security developments in Indonesia. Management of the Company continues to evaluate possible industry partnerships, equity and debt financing and regulatory approvals, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful. The impact of COVID-19 (note 2(f)) creates additional uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, the volatility of and access to capital markets combined with fluctuating global demand and commodity pricing for energy products that may impact the Company’s ability to execute on its business plans.

Details of deficit and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of the Company are as follows: Details of deficit and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of the Company are as follows: Details of deficit and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of the Company are as follows:
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Deficit (91,770,483) (89,270,987)
WorkingCapital (4,009,361) (3,965,758)

While these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, the above material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on this assumption and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Additionally, in order to meet its future commitments regarding the Company’s exploration and appraisal programs, the Company will need to raise additional funds and will depend on the continued support of various creditors and lenders. The Company will continue to evaluate various strategic alternatives, including but not limited to, farm-out, additional equity financing, mergers, acquisitions, alternative financings, and/or liquidation of its assets and reduction of costs to enable the Company to meet its short-term obligations and to provide resources for sustainable future growth and development.

These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments, of which some could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption determined to be inappropriate.

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5

2. Basis of Preparation

a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.

The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Sonoro as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the notes thereto (the “Annual Financial Statements”). The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting, estimation and valuation policies described in the Annual Financial Statements.

The Interim Financial Statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Sonoro on November 19, 2021.

b) Subsidiaries

The following sets out the subsidiaries of the Company and the Company’s ownership interest in those subsidiaries:

Functional
Subsidiary Name Jurisdiction Ownership Currency
Sonoro Energy International Holdings
B.V. (“SEIHBV”) The Netherlands 100.0% USD
Stockbridge Oil and Gas Ltd B.V.I. British Virgin Islands 100.0% USD
Zamatra Bakau Straits Ltd. B.V.I. British Virgin Islands 100.0% USD
Stockbridge Budong Budong B.V. The Netherlands 100.0% IDR
Sonic Environmental Solutions Corp.
(“Sonic Corp.”) California, USA 100.0% USD

c) Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Sonoro Group of Companies”). Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of its subsidiaries after the elimination of inter-company transactions.

d) Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and a historical cost convention except for share–based payment transactions which are measured at fair value.

e) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements of each entity in the Sonoro Group of Companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Sonoro Energy Ltd.’s functional currency.

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6

The financial statements of entities that have a different functional currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position, and income and expenses translated at the average rate of the period (which is considered a reasonable approximation to actual rates). All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of equity referred to as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

When a foreign operation is disposed of, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation accumulated in a separate component of equity is reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the statement of operations.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in the statement of operations.

f) Critical accounting estimates, judgements, and assumptions

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and, on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. These measures have caused and will continue to cause significant disruption to business operations and a significant increase in economic uncertainty, with reduced demand for commodities leading to volatile prices and currency exchange rates, and a decline in long-term interest rates. The Company's operations are particularly sensitive to a reduction in the demand for, and prices of, crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which are closely linked to the Company’s financial performance. In addition to the impact on commodity prices and commodity sales from production amounts, COVID-19 has created many uncertainties in the crude oil and natural gas industry with respect to increased counterparty credit risk and valuation of long-lived petroleum and natural gas assets. The potential direct and indirect impacts of the economic downturn have been considered in management’s estimates, and assumptions at period end have been reflected in our results.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation that will continue to have widespread implications for our business environment, operations and financial condition. Management cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact our financial results in 2021.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on management ‘s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

i. Impairment of non-financial assets

Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) assets are assessed for impairment when they are reclassified to property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), and also if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”). The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7

assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Value in use is generally computed by reference to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from production of proven and probable reserves.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses for assets with a finite useful life, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

ii. Taxation

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to taxation under the applicable tax laws in force in various jurisdictions. Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable earnings will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant estimates are required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable earnings together with future tax planning strategies.

iii. Share-based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for share-based compensation transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, forfeiture rate, volatility and dividend yield of the share option. The Company measures the cost of share-based compensation transactions with consultants by reference to the fair value of the services to be performed.

g) Reclassification

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There has been no impact on the results of operations.

h) Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies

i. Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgement. The board of directors monitors future cash requirements to assess the Company’s ability to meet these future funding requirements. Further information regarding going concern is outlined in Note 1.

ii. Joint arrangements

The classification of joint arrangements structured through separate vehicles as either joint ventures or joint operations requires significant judgment and depends on the legal form and contractual terms of the arrangement as well as other facts and circumstances. These include whether there is exclusive dependence on the parties to the joint arrangement for cash flows through the sale of product and funding of operations, and to assess the rights of the economic benefits of the assets and obligation for funding the liabilities of the arrangements.

A joint arrangement whereby the parties take their share of substantially all of the output of the joint arrangement would be an indicator for classification as a joint operation, regardless of structure of the

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 8

arrangement, and accounted for by recognizing the Company’s share of assets and liabilities jointly owned and incurred, and the recognition of its share of revenue and expenses of the joint operation.

iii. CGU determination

The recoverability of development and production asset carrying values are assessed at the CGU level. Determination of what constitutes a CGU is subject to management judgment of the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other groups of assets or properties. The factors used by the Company to determine CGUs may vary by country due to unique operating and geographic circumstances in each country. However, in general, the Company assesses each production sharing contract as a CGU.

iv. Asset retirement obligations

The provision for site restoration and abandonment is based on current legal and constructive requirements, technology, price levels and expected plans for remediation. Actual costs and cash outflows can differ from estimates because of changes in laws and regulations, public expectations, market conditions, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in technology.

v. Functional currency

The Company conducts a portion of its operations through foreign subsidiaries, which record transactions in their respective functional currency. The determination of the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries is based on management’s judgement which is centered on determining the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, sets out a number of factors that are used in the determination of functional currencies. Where the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, management used judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions of its operating entities.

vi. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is determined wherever possible based on observable market data. If not available, the Company uses third-party models, independent price publications, market exchanges, investment dealer quotes and valuation methodologies that utilize observable data. Actual values may significantly differ from these estimates.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies under IFRS are presented in Note 3 to the Annual Financial Statements. Certain information and disclosures normally required to be included in the notes to the Annual Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted in the Interim Financial Statement.

4. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Set out below is a comparison, by category, of the carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Company financial instruments that are carried in the consolidated financial statements and how the fair value of financial instruments is measured.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. Liabilities in this category include accounts payables, accrued liabilities and long-term debt.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 9

Fair values

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.

Fair value represents the price at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in an orderly market, in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The Company classifies the fair value of the financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument.

Level 1 – Quoted prices 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.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1. Prices in level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. The Company doesn’t have financial instruments included categorized as Level 2.

Level 3 – Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market date. The Company doesn’t have financial instruments included categorized as Level 3.

There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 inputs during the reporting period.

The valuation methods used to determine the fair value of each financial instrument and its associated level in the fair value hierarchy is described below:

fair value hierarchy is described below:

b) Risk Management

The Company manages its exposure to financial risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to the extent practical. The main financial risks affecting the Company are discussed below:

SONORO ENERGY LTD. Q3 2021 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 10

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to either being short-term in nature or not bearing any interest, or the interest rate is fixed.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to fulfill an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts receivable and records an expected credit loss which reduces receivables to the amount management reasonably believes will be collected.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable in the statement of financial position. Cash balances are maintained with reputable banking institutions. All receivables are current as at September 30, 2020.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Such movements could materially impact the reported results of the Company. Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities of the Company or its foreign operations are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Company. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro, Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and United States Dollar (USD). The Company does not use currency derivative instruments to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

As at September 30, the following balances are denominated in foreign currencies:

September 30, 2021 December31,2020
Cash and cash equivalents IDR 1,449 3,556
Cash and cash equivalents USD 70,526 54,165
Trade and other payables IDR 1,717,646 1,822,358

Long-term debt IDR 28,459 24,121
Long-term debt USD 298,022 270,512

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company ensures that it has sufficient capital to meet short-term financial obligations when they become due. The Company prepares cash flow forecasts to ensure it has sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations. At September 30, 2021, there existed negative working capital of $4,009,361 (2020 – $3,965,758). The Company is looking to finance future exploration and remedy the negative working capital through equity raises. There is no assurance that this will be completed. Additional information regarding liquidity risk is disclosed in Note 1 – Nature of Business and Going Concern.

Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the exploration for, appraisal of, and development and production of oil and gas resources in Indonesia and to maintain flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity as well as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and current liabilities.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash. Management reviews the capital structure on a regular basis to ensure that the above-noted

objectives are met. The Company has no external covenants. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2021. The Company is not subject to any external capital requirements.

15. Subsequent Event

Subsequent to quarter end, PT Sumatra Global Energi (“SGE”), Sonoro’s joint venture partner of the Selat Panjang Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) has advised Sonoro, via Asiavest Trust, Sonoro’s Trustee representative company in Singapore, that Sonoro is in default of the Convertible Debenture and Loan for approximately $1.6 million and $300,000 respectively and that SGE requests release of Sonoro’s 25% interest in the PSC to SGE.

SGE has provided no advance notice, as required under the Loan Agreement nor communication on its intention for the Convertible Debenture and Loan. SGE’s notice to Asiavest Trust regarding the notice is the first time SGE has initiated contact (indirect) with Sonoro since mid-2020. Sonoro will object to this action by SGE as SGE has not fulfilled its requirements under the Loan Agreement to enter into a mutually agreed Joint Operating Agreement (“JOA”), it has obstructed all efforts to complete the JOA and SGE has not responded to the Company’s repeated requests to come to a mutually acceptable resolution of the issues preventing the ventures’ ability to move forward with its operations under the PSC.

SKKMIGAS, the Indonesian oil and gas regulator, is aware of the situation with SGE and has formally advised SGE of their obligations to fulfill the PSC terms and to provide quarterly reports of their activities on the project. SKKMIGAS is aware of Sonoro’s frustration with the lack of engagement from SGE and Sonoro’s commitment to fulfilling the terms of the PSC.

The project partners are currently in discussions to attempt to resolve this issue.
