MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three months period ended March 31, 2017

SUNSHINE OILSANDS LTD.

==> picture [52 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Management's Discussion and Analysis

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of the financial condition and performance of Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. (" Sunshine " or the "Company") for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is dated May 11, 2017. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto for the three months period ended March 31, 2017 and with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. All amounts and tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars unless indicated otherwise.

Overview

Sunshine is a major holder and a developer of Athabasca region oil sands resources with approximately 1.35 billion barrels of risked best estimate contingent resources. The Company’s un-risked best estimate contingent resources at December 31, 2016 was approximately 2.21 billion barrels, a 0.31 billion barrels decrease from the December 31, 2015 resource evaluation. The Company also has 276 million barrels of proved plus probable (“2P”) reserves and 379 million barrels of proved plus probable plus possible (“3P”) in the Cretaceous Sandstone formations as evaluated at December 31, 2016. The Company did not conduct an evaluation of its Carbonate assets given the current commodity price and the introduction of risk factors to the contingent resources, which would deem the Carbonates to be uneconomic. With approximately 1 million acres of oil sands and P&NG leases, the Company has significant commercial development potential. Phase I (5,000 barrels) of the West Ells 10,000 barrels thermal commercial project is on production and is ramping up to meet the designed plant capacity. The Athabasca region is the most prolific oil sands region in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Canada’s oil sands represent the largest oil resource found in a stable political environment located in the western hemisphere and the third largest oil resource in the world, with an estimated 166 billion barrels of recoverable resource. Canadian oil sands represent the largest single source of supply of oil imported into the United States.

The Company’s focus is on evaluating and developing its oil sands assets with the completion and operation of the 5,000 bbls/day Phase I commercial West Ells (the “Project”). When financing is available, the Company is planning to add an additional 5,000 barrels per day Phase II to the Project. On March 1, 2017, the West Ells Phase I commenced commercial production.

As at March 31, 2017, the Company had invested approximately $1.26 billion in oil sands leases, drilling operations, project engineering, procurement and construction, operation start-up, regulatory application processing and other assets. As at March 31, 2017, the Company had $12.9 million in cash.

The Company relies on its ability to obtain various forms of financing and cash flow from operations to fund administration expenses and future exploration and development cost of its projects. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continuing operations and development in West Ells, marketing bitumen blends at favorable price, achieving profitable operations and the ability to refinance current debt and access immediate additional financing. There can be no assurance that steps management will take will be successful. As such there is significant doubt and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

On September 30, 2015, the Company completed a voluntary delisting from the TSX. The Company’s shares continue to be listed for trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“SEHK”).

Operational Update

West Ells

On March 1, 2017, the Company achieved a key milestone. The Project commenced commercial production. Hence, effective March 1, 2017, the Company started recording revenue, expenses and depletion of the West Ells Project. For one month ended March 31, 2017, the average bitumen production was 1,796 barrels per day (“bbls/day”), steam to oil ratio (“SOR”) was 4.8 at this early stage of steam-assisted gravity drainage (“SAGD”) production. Diluent is blended at a 21% volumetric rate with the bitumen as part of the production process to create the marketable “Dilbit” blend product, and the average dilbit sales volume for March was 2,272 bbls/day.

Thickwood and Legend

The Thickwood and Legend projects are each planned for initial phase one production of 10,000 bbls/day. Regulatory approval for Thickwood was received in the third quarter of 2013 while Legend approval is expected in 2017. Once the Thickwood and Legend Lake’s projects are sanctioned for development and construction, additional significant financing will need to be secured to proceed.

SUNSHINE OILSANDS LTD.

Muskwa and Godin Clastics Operations (Non-Operated 50% working interest)

A thermal single well pilot project application was submitted in July 2014, and approved on January 26, 2015. During the final quarter of 2014, Muskwa cold production wells were suspended by the joint venture partner due to low oil prices.

OUTLOOK

Due to the extensive damage associated with the disastrous wild fire in Fort McMurray in May 2016, start up at West Ells was interrupted and delayed. Significant progress has been achieved since then. On March 1, 2017, the West Ells Phase I project commenced commercial production. The West Ells Phase I project is expected to ramp up to its Phase I design capacity of 5,000 bbls/day. The Company continues to focus on carefully improving production performance and developing SAGD chambers, which will increase production at West Ells.

The oil and gas industry in North America continues to operate in a challenging commodity price environment. Due to market, instability and volatile commodity prices that have trended lower over past months. Sunshine continues to remain optimistic about long –term outlook for oil and gas commodity prices.

  1. Senior secured notes are considered current as at March 31, 2017 and have been included in the working capital deficit as the maturity date is August 1, 2017.

On August 8, 2014, the Company completed an offering of USD $200 million senior secured notes (the “Notes”) at an offering price of USD $938.01 per USD $1,000 principal amount. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and had a potential maturity date of August 1, 2017, if certain conditions were met as explained below. Interest payments are payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

The conditions were if by February 1, 2016, the Company had not: (1) received at least USD $50 million of net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings; and (2) deposited, or caused to be deposited, cash in an amount sufficient to pay: (a) one year of interest payments on the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on February 1, 2016; and (b) the yield premium, then the final maturity date of the Notes would have been August 1, 2016. The Company did not meet these conditions by February 1, 2016, and as a result the final maturity date of the Notes was August 1, 2016 at which time the Company was negotiating with the noteholders.

On September 9, 2016, the Company and noteholders representing 96% of the outstanding Notes (the “Forbearing Holders”) entered into a long-term forbearance agreement in respect of the Notes (the “Agreement”). The principal terms of the Agreement include: (a) payment on October 17, 2016 of the yield maintenance premium payment of $19.1 million (Note 20) due on August 1, 2016; (b) payment of the coupon interest accruing on the Notes and repurchase of USD $22.5 million in principal amount of the Notes on February 1, 2017; (c) payment of the principal of the Notes and the coupon interest on the Notes on August 1, 2017; (d) payment of forbearance fees accruing at 2.50% on the principal amount of the Notes held by the Forbearing Holders; (e) payment of a fee equal to 7.298% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by the Forbearing Holders on August 1, 2017 and proportionately smaller fees if the Notes are repurchased or redeemed prior to that date; (f) covenants relating to minimum liquidity to be maintained by the Corporation for specified periods; (g) board of director observation rights for certain significant noteholders; (h) use of proceeds restrictions for the proceeds of any asset sales completed by the Company; (i) budget approval rights; and (j) requirements that the Company raise additional capital and provide additional security for the Notes.

On February 1, 2017, the payment of accrued interest and repurchase of USD $22.5 million were not met.

On March 21, 2017, the Company and the Forbearing Holders confirmed the signing of the Forbearance Reinstatement Agreement (the "FRA"). The principal payment terms of the FRA include: (i) Payment of 20% of the Yield Maintenance Premium (the "YMP") originally due on August 1, 2016 by cash; (ii) 80% of the YMP will be repaid on August 1, 2017 as the bond matures; (iii) Payment of 20% accrued interest and forbearance fees due on February 1, 2017 by cash and the remaining amount to be repaid on August 1, 2017 as the bond matures; and (iv) Regarding the USD $22.5 million of principal repayment which fell due on February 1, 2017, both parties agreed to defer the repayment as follows: USD $5.0 million and USD $10.0 million are to be repaid by the end of April 2017 and June 2017 respectively. The remaining amount shall be repaid on or before the maturity date of the bond, i.e. August 1, 2017. In addition, the Company and certain noteholders entered into a Note Exchange Agreement (the "NEA") whereby the Company agreed to repay bond principal of up to USD $8.9 million by issuance of shares.

The Notes contain various non-financial covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company with respect to certain capital expenditures and payments, making investments and loans, incurrence of additional debt and issuance of certain preferred stock, paying dividends, altering the nature of the business and undertaking certain corporate transactions. A reporting covenant also exists which requires reporting in line with a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Legislation and includes timely reporting of material changes.

From time to time, the Company receives liens or claims on accounts payable balances, and the Company continues to work toward resolution of any liens or claims. At March 31, 2017, the Company had incurred $10.7million (USD $8.1 million equivalent using the period end exchange rate) in liens during the ordinary course of business.

The Notes are translated into Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD.

SUNSHINE OILSANDS LTD.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The Company’s strategy is to access sufficient capital, through equity issuances, monetization, joint ventures and the utilization of debt, in order to maintain a capital base that properly supports the objectives of maintaining financial flexibility and of sustaining future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure in order to continue as a going concern and makes adjustments relative to changes in economic conditions and the Company’s risk profile. In order to manage risk, the Company may from time to time issue shares and adjust its capital spending to manage current working capital deficiency levels. The Company’s liquidity may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital markets is hindered because of financial market conditions generally, or as a result of conditions specific to the Company.

There is a material risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financing obligations including payments of outstanding interest and principal balances on its Senior Notes. Management continually monitors the Company’s financing requirements and is pursuing negotiations to refinance current debt and access immediate additional financing to fund its ongoing operations. Management is engaged in discussions with existing shareholders,creditors, and prospective investors on proposed transactions and agreements which would reduce anticipated cash outflows and provide the additional financing required to fund capital and operating expenditures, and to meet obligations as they fall due in the 12 months following March 31, 2017.

Management has applied significant judgment in preparing forecasts supporting the going concern assumption. Specifically, management has made assumptions regarding projected oil sales volumes and pricing, scheduling of payments arising from various obligations as at March 31, 2017, the availability of additional financing, and the timing and extent of capital and operating expenditures.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis which asserts that the Company will continue to have the ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in a planned manner with consideration to expected possible outcomes. Conversely, if the assumption made by management is not appropriate and the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due the preparation of these Financial Statements on a going concern basis may not be appropriate and adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and balance sheet classifications may be necessary and such adjustments could be material. Specifically, in the absence of additional financing and the restructuring of current debt (Note 10) the Company would be unlikely to be able to continue the development of the West Ells project and the Company would be required to consider divestiture of the West Ells project and other exploration assets. Such curtailment of activity would likely materially and negatively impact the Company’s assessment of the carrying values of assets and liabilities associated with the West Ells project.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, restructure projected cash outflows arising from existing arrangements, control the timing and extent of projected expenditures, and refinance current debt, access immediate additional financing and maintain compliance with all terms in debt and forbearance agreements. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $21.6 million. At March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $326.2 million including senior notes of $266.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $728.7 million.

The Company’s debt-to-asset ratio, measured on the basis of total liabilities divided by total assets was 40% as at March 31, 2017, compared to 39% as at December 31, 2016.

The Company is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the fair value of future cash flows. This exposure primarily relates to certain expenditure commitments, deposits, accounts payable and long-term debt, which is denominated in US dollars.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had a foreign exchange gain of $1.9 million compared to a $16.1 million gain in the same period in 2016. The change in foreign exchange for the three months period ended March 31, 2017, was due to a $1.9 million unrealized gain associated primarily with the translation of the US denominated Notes.

The Company manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring foreign exchange rates and evaluating their effects on using Canadian or U.S. vendors as well as timing of transactions. The Company had no forward exchange rate contracts in place as at or during the three months ended March 31, 2017. If exchange rates to convert from US dollars to Canadian dollars had been one percent higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash and

restricted cash held at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by $0.1 million and the carrying value of the senior notes at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by $2.7 million. At March 31, 2017 the Company held approximately USD $1.6 million or $2.2 million of cash, using the March 31, 2017 exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD, as cash, cash equivalents in the Company’s US bank account.

For Hong Kong dollar amounts, exchange rates to convert from HK dollars to Canadian dollars had been one percent higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash and restricted cash held at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by approximately $0.1 million. At March 31, 2017, the Company held, after recent equity closings, approximately HKD $39.1 million or $6.7 million using the March 31, 2017 exchange rate of $1CAD = $5.8337HKD, as cash in the Company’s HKD bank account.

  1. Principal amount of Notes based on the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD and a maturity date of August 1, 2017.

  2. Based on 10% on principal amount and 2.5% on the principal amount of the notes held by the Forbearing Holders per annum and a maturity date of August 1, 2017, at the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD.

  3. The redemption premium is based on the maximum premium paid if the Notes mature on August 1, 2017. This premium (Yield Maintenance Premium) percentage is 7.298% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on August 1, 2017. Using the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD this premium amounts to $19,445. At March 31, 2017, the Company had the option to redeem the Notes at 4.084% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding which amounts to $6,265 using the period end exchange rate. The Company can redeem the Notes at any time up to the August 1, 2017 maturity date, following the optional redemption schedule set out in the Notes indenture.

  4. The Company has an annual obligation for oil sands mineral lease rentals and surface lease rentals.

The Company has been named as a Defendant in Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary, commenced by a shareholder of the Company (the “Claimant”) by Statement of Claim (the “Action”) filed January 2, 2014. The Claimant alleges that, pursuant to a share subscription agreement entered into in January 2011, it is entitled to require Sunshine to repurchase 4,132,232 shares (prior to the 20:1 share split that occurred prior to the Company’s IPO) of the Company that the Claimant acquired pursuant to the share subscription agreement. This constitutes a claim for $40 million plus interest at 15% per annum since the date of the share subscription agreement. The Company’s Statement of Defence was filed on April 2, 2014. The Claimant’s application for summary judgment was heard on February 2 and 3, 2016. The summary judgment application was dismissed on February 3, 2016. No amounts have been accrued in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months period ended March 31, 2017 as the ultimate resolution is undeterminable at this time. The Company will record a provision if it believes that the outcome of the contingency becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. In the normal conduct of operations, there are other pending claims by and against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance.

Transactions with Related Parties

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, a consulting company, to which a director of Sunshine is related, charged the Company $0.1 million (the three months ended March 31, 2016 - Nil) for management and advisory services.

In 2016, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Kwok Ping Sun, has purchased securities of the Company and he has also loaned the Company funds on an unsecured basis.

On January 19, 2016 the Company signed an unsecured loan agreement (the “Loan”) with Tai Feng Investments Limited (“Tai Feng”). Tai Feng is 100% owned by Mr. Kwok Ping Sun, the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Loan was considered Permitted Debt under the Company’s Notes as long as it did not exceed USD $5.0 million. The Loan had an interest rate of 6.0% per annum, can be drawn up to HKD $38.0 million and required repayment in full within nine months from the date of the receipt of the Loan.

A second loan agreement (“Second Loan”) was signed effective April 14, 2016 with Tai Feng. This Second Loan had the same interest rate and repayment terms as the Loan, except it required repayment in full within three months from the date of the receipt of the Loan.

On July 31, 2016, the Loan and Second loan, (principle and interest) were converted into the equity through private placements (Note 13). As at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, both the Loan and Second loan balances were Nil.

Risk Factors

The business of resource exploration, development and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Material risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, their potential impact and the Company’s principal risk management strategies are substantially unchanged from those disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is available at www.sedar.com. The 2016 annual report of the Company is available at the Company’s website at www.sunshineoilsands.com, and the website of the SEHK, www.hkexnews.hk. The Company’s 2016 Annual Information Form is available at www.sedar.com.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Hong Luo, Executive Director of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Gloria Ho, Chief Financial Officer, have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company's CEO and CFO by others, particularly during the period in which the annual and quarterly filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in securities legislation.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Hong Luo, Executive Director of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Gloria Ho, Chief Financial Officer, have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, the Company used the criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework).

No material changes in the Company's ICFR were identified during the three months period ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's ICFR. It should be noted that a control system, including the Company's disclosure and internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met and it should not be expected that the disclosure and internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost/benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

ADVISORY SECTION

Forward‐Looking Information

Certain statements in this MD&A are forward-looking statements that are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties and the Company hereby cautions investors about important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “going forward”, “ought to”, “may”, “seek”, “should”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “could”, “vision”, “goals”, “objective”, “target”, “schedules” and “outlook”) are not historical facts, are forward-looking and may involve estimates and assumptions and are subject to risks (including the risk factors detailed in this MD&A), uncertainties and other factors some of which are beyond the Company’s control and which are difficult to predict. Accordingly, these factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Since actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, the Company strongly cautions investors against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on estimates and assumptions that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

All forward-looking statements in this MD&A are expressly qualified by reference to this cautionary statement.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This MD&A includes references to financial measures commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as operating netback, cash flow used in operations, operating loss and operating cash flow are non-GAAP measures. The MD&A also includes disclosure required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, such as debt to asset ratio. These financial measures are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and, therefore, are referred to as non-IFRS measures. The non-IFRS measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-IFRS measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than net income or net cash used in operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS.

Operating Netback

Operating “Netback” is defined as petroleum sales, net of royalties less diluent costs, less operating costs and less transportations costs. The following is reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measurement:

Code of Corporate Governance Practice (the “Code”)

The Company is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Company recognizes that corporate governance practices are fundamental to the effective and transparent operation of a company and its ability to protect the rights of its shareholders and enhance shareholder value.

The Company confirms that the Code, as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the SEHK (the “Hong Kong Listing Rules”), has been complied with following its public listing, save that the Company has not entered into formal letters of appointment with its directors and therefore will deviate from Code Provision D.1.4 of the Code. The Company will deviate from Code Provision D.1.4 of the Code since each of the Directors will be appointed on an annual basis by the shareholders of the Company at each annual general meeting, which is consistent with the market practice in Canada.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)

1. Company information

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on February 22, 2007. The address of its principal place of business is 1020, 903 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 0P7. The Company’s shares were listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“SEHK”) on March 1, 2012 pursuant to an initial public offering (“IPO”) and trades under the stock code symbol of “2012”. On November 16, 2012, the Company completed a listing of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and traded under the symbol of “SUO”. On September 30, 2015, the Company completed a voluntary delisting from the TSX. The Company continues to be a reporting issuer in Canada.

On May 4, 2012, Sunshine Oilsands (Hong Kong) Limited (“Sunshine Hong Kong”) was incorporated in Hong Kong and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The address of the principal place of business for Sunshine Hong Kong is Unit 8504A, 85/F, International Commerce Centre 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon.

On July 14, 2015, Boxian Investments Limited (“Boxian”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company. The address of the principal place of business for Boxian is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporation Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. As of March 31, 2017, no activity has occurred in Boxian. The purpose of Boxian is to pursue new investment opportunities.

On March 24, 2017, Sang Xiang Petroleum & Chemical (Shanghai) Limited (“Sunshine Shanghai”) was incorporated in China and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The address of the principal place of business for Sunshine Shanghai is Building 1, Level 6, Room 41, 39 Jia Tai Road, the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

The Company is engaged in the evaluation and the development of oil properties for the future production of bitumen in the Athabasca oilsands region in Alberta, Canada. The continued existence of the Company is dependent on its ability to maintain capital funding for further development and to meet obligations. In the event that such capital is not available to the Company, it will be necessary to prioritize activities, which may result in delaying and potentially losing business opportunities and cause potential impairment to recorded assets.

2. Basis of preparation

Going Concern

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has historically met its day to day working capital requirements and funded its capital and operating expenditures through funding received from the proceeds of share issuances.

There is a material risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financing obligations including payments of outstanding interest and principal balances on its Senior Notes (Note 10). Management continually monitors the Company’s financing requirements and is pursuing negotiations to refinance current debt and access immediate additional financing to fund its ongoing operations. Management is engaged in discussions with existing shareholders and creditors on proposed transactions and agreements which would reduce anticipated cash outflows and provide the additional financing required to fund capital and operating expenditures, and to meet obligations as they fall due in the 12 months following March 31, 2017.

The timing and extent of forecast capital and operating expenditures is based on the Company’s 2017 budget and on management’s estimate of expenditures expected to be incurred beyond 2017. The Company has a significant degree of control and flexibility over both the extent and timing of expenditures under its future capital investment program.

Management has applied significant judgment in preparing forecasts supporting the going concern assumption. Specifically, management has made assumptions regarding projected oil sales volumes and pricing, scheduling of payments arising from various obligations as at March 31, 2017, the availability of additional financing, and the timing and extent of capital and operating expenditures.

SUNSHINE OILSANDS LTD.

==> picture [52 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

2. Basis of preparation (Continued)

On March 1, 2017, the West Ells Phase I project, located in the Athabasca region of Alberta, commenced commercial production. This marked a key milestone for the Corporation, following which the Project is treated as a fully operational and commercialized project.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis which asserts that the Company will continue to have the ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in a planned manner with consideration to expected possible outcomes. Conversely, if the assumption made by management is not appropriate and the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due the preparation of these Financial Statements on a going concern basis may not be appropriate and adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and balance sheet classifications may be necessary and such adjustments could be material. Specifically, in the absence of additional financing and the restructuring of current debt (Note 10) the Company would be unlikely to be able to continue the development of the West Ells project and the Company would be required to consider divestiture of the West Ells project and other exploration assets. Such curtailment of activity would likely materially and negatively impact the Company’s assessment of the carrying values of assets and liabilities associated with the West Ells project.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, restructure projected cash outflows arising from existing arrangements, control the timing and extent of projected expenditures, and refinance current debt, access immediate additional financing and maintain compliance with all terms in debt and forbearance agreements. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On September 9, 2016, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and certain bondholders (collectively “the Bondholders”) in respect of USD $200 million of notes made under a note agreement dated August 8, 2014. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders agreed to, among other things, forbear from exercising the rights and remedies arising from the Company’s failure to pay cash interest and principal payments due on August 1, 2016.

On March 21 2017, the Company entered into the Forbearance Reinstatement Agreement ("FRA") with the Bondholders. The Bondholders agreed to waive the liability of the Company in relation to previous violations listed above and fully reinstate the Forbearance Agreement, provided that Sunshine make the following payments on or before March 27, 2017:

  • Payment of USD $2.8 million representing 20% of the the Yield Maintenance Premium (the "YMP")originally due on August 1, 2016;

  • Payment of USD $2.4 million representing 20% accrued interest and forbearance fee originally due on February 1, 2017;

  • As of March 27, 2017, all the above USD $5.2 million have been paid.

Other payments contemplated in the FRA include:

  • Payment of all legal professional fees by March 21, 2017, which has been paid on March 21, 2017;

  • 80% of the YMP will be repaid on August 1, 2017 in cash;

  • 80% of the accrued interest and forbearance fee of USD $9.6 million will be repaid on August 1, 2017 in cash;

  • The Company agreed to repay bond principal of an amount equal up to 80% of the YMP by issuance of shares,

  • Make principal repayments to the Bondholders of USD $5.0 million on April 30, 2017, USD $10.0 million on June 30, 2017 and the remaining amount on or before the maturity date of the bond on August 1, 2017. As of May 5, 2017, USD $1.5 million has been paid.

On March 21, 2017, Sunshine agreed to repurchase and the Bondholders have agreed to sell up to USD $8.9 million of Senior Notes in exchange for Common Shares of Sunshine.

2.1 Statement of compliance

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value (Note 19). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian Dollars (“$”), which is the functional currency of the Company.

On August 8, 2014, the Company completed an offering of USD $200 million senior secured notes (the “Notes”) at an offering price of USD $938.01 per USD $1,000 principal amount. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and had a potential maturity date of August 1, 2017, if certain conditions were met as explained below. Interest payments are payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

==> picture [52 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

SUNSHINE OILSANDS LTD.

10. Senior Notes (continued)

The conditions were if by February 1, 2016, the Company had not: (1) received at least USD $50 million of net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings; and (2) deposited, or caused to be deposited, cash in an amount sufficient to pay: (a) one year of interest payments on the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on February 1, 2016; and (b) the yield premium, then the final maturity date of the Notes would have been August 1, 2016. The Company did not meet these conditions by February 1, 2016, and as a result the final maturity date of the Notes was August 1, 2016 at which time the Company was negotiating with the noteholders.

On September 9, 2016, the Company and noteholders representing 96% of the outstanding Notes (the “Forbearing Holders”) entered into a long-term forbearance agreement in respect of the Notes (the “Agreement”). The principal terms of the Agreement include: (a) payment on October 17, 2016 of the yield maintenance premium payment of $19.1 million (Note 20) due on August 1, 2016; (b) payment of the coupon interest accruing on the Notes and repurchase of USD $22.5 million in principal amount of the Notes on February 1, 2017; (c) payment of the principal of the Notes and the coupon interest on the Notes on August 1, 2017; (d) payment of forbearance fees accruing at 2.50% on the principal amount of the Notes held by the Forbearing Holders; (e) payment of a fee equal to 7.298% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by the Forbearing Holders on August 1, 2017 and proportionately smaller fees if the Notes are repurchased or redeemed prior to that date; (f) covenants relating to minimum liquidity to be maintained by the Corporation for specified periods; (g) board of director observation rights for certain significant noteholders; (h) use of proceeds restrictions for the proceeds of any asset sales completed by the Company; (i) budget approval rights; and (j) requirements that the Company raise additional capital and provide additional security for the Notes.

On February 1, 2017, the payment of accrued interest and repurchase of USD $22.5 million were not met.

On March 21, 2017, the Company and the Forbearing Holders confirmed the signing of the Forbearance Reinstatement Agreement (the "FRA"). The principal payment terms of the FRA include: (i) Payment of 20% of the YMP originally due on August 1, 2016 by cash; (ii) 80% of the YMP will be repaid on August 1, 2017 as the bond matures; (iii) Payment of 20% accrued interest and forbearance fees due on February 1, 2017 by cash and the remaining amount to be repaid on August 1, 2017 as the bond matures; and (iv) Regarding the USD $22.5 million of principal repayment which fell due on February 1, 2017, both parties agreed to defer the repayment as follows: USD $5.0 million and USD $10.0 million are to be repaid by the end of April 2017 and June 2017 respectively. The remaining amount shall be repaid on or before the maturity date of the bond, i.e. August 1, 2017. In addition, the Company and certain noteholders entered into a Note Exchange Agreement (the "NEA") whereby the Company agreed to repay bond principal of up to USD $8.9 million by issuance of shares.

The Notes contain various non-financial covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company with respect to certain capital expenditures and payments, making investments and loans, incurrence of additional debt and issuance of certain preferred stock, paying dividends, altering the nature of the business and undertaking certain corporate transactions. A reporting covenant also exists which requires reporting in line with a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Legislation and includes timely reporting of material changes.

From time to time, the Company receives liens or claims on accounts payable balances, and the Company continues to work toward resolution of any liens or claims. At March 31, 2017, the Company had incurred $10.7 million (USD $8.1 million equivalent using the period end exchange rate) in liens during the ordinary course of business.

The Notes are translated into Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD.

19. Financial instruments

19.1 Capital risk management

The Company can be exposed to financial risks on its financial instruments and in the way that it finances its capital requirements. The Company manages these financial and capital structure risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to volatility.

The Company’s strategy is to access sufficient capital, through equity issuances, joint ventures and the utilization of debt, in order to maintain a capital base for the objectives of maintaining financial flexibility and to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure in order to continue as a going concern and makes adjustments relative to changes in economic conditions and the Company’s risk profile. In order to manage risk, the Company may from time to time issue shares and adjust its capital spending to manage current working capital levels. The Company expects its current capital resources will not be sufficient to complete its development plans through the next twelve months and will be required to raise additional funds through future equity or debt financings, a joint venture or a sale of assets. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on completion of the West Ells development, achieving profitable operations and the ability to refinance current debt and access additional financing.

The Company’s capital structure currently includes shareholders’ equity and working capital deficiency as follows:

March 31, 2017
December 31, 2016
Working capital deficiency
Shareholders’ equity
$ 325,736
$ 319,304
603,580
607,455
$ 929,316
$ 926,759

The Company’s working capital deficiency of $325.7 million at March 31, 2017, includes the $266.4 million current portion of the Notes. There is no change in the Company’s objectives and strategies of capital management for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

19.3 Currency risk

The Company is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the fair value of future cash flows. This exposure primarily relates to certain expenditure commitments, deposits, accounts payable and long term debt which are denominated in US dollars and/or HK dollars. The Company manages this risk by monitoring foreign exchange rates and evaluating their effects on using Canadian or U.S. vendors as well as timing of transactions. The Company had no forward exchange rate contracts in place as at or during the period ended March 31, 2017.

If exchange rates to convert from US dollars to Canadian dollars had been one percent higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash and restricted cash held at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by $0.1 million and the carrying value of the senior notes at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by $2.7 million. At March 31, 2017 the Company held approximately USD $1.6 million or $2.2 million of cash, using the March 31, 2017 exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD, as cash, cash equivalents in the Company’s US bank account.

For Hong Kong dollar amounts, exchange rates to convert from HK dollars to Canadian dollars had been one percent higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash held at March 31, 2017 would have been impacted by approximately $0.1 million. At March 31, 2017, the Company held, after recent equity closings, approximately HKD $39.1 million or $6.7 million using the March 31, 2017 exchange rate of $1CAD = $5.8337HKD, as cash in the Company’s HKD bank account.

19.4 Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to plan that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, using either equity or debt proceeds. At March 31, 2017, the Company had negative working capital of $325.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $728.7 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on completion of the West Ells development, achieving profitable operations and the ability to refinance current debt and access additional financing.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, a consulting company, to which a director of Sunshine is related, charged the Company $0.1 million (the three months ended March 31, 2016 - Nil) for management and advisory services.

In 2016, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Kwok Ping Sun, has purchased securities of the Company and he has also loaned the Company funds on an unsecured basis.

On January 19, 2016 the Company signed an unsecured loan agreement (the “Loan”) with Tai Feng Investments Limited (“Tai Feng”). Tai Feng is 100% owned by Mr. Kwok Ping Sun, the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Loan was considered Permitted Debt under the Company’s Notes as long as it did not exceed USD $5.0 million. The Loan had an interest rate of 6.0% per annum, can be drawn up to HKD $38.0 million and required repayment in full within nine months from the date of the receipt of the Loan.

A second loan agreement (“Second Loan”) was signed effective April 14, 2016 with Tai Feng. This Second Loan had the same interest rate and repayment terms as the Loan, except it required repayment in full within three months from the date of the receipt of the Loan.

On July 31, 2016, the Loan and Second loan, (principle and interest) were converted into the equity through private placements. As at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, both the Loan and Second loan balances were Nil.

  1. Principal amount of Notes based on the period end exchange rate of $1USD=1.3322CAD and a maturity date of August 1, 2017.

  2. Based on 10% on principal amount and 2.5% on the principal amount of the notes held by the Forbearing Holders per annum and a maturity date of August 1, 2017, at the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD.

  3. The redemption premium is based on the maximum premium paid if the Notes mature on August 1, 2017. This premium (Yield Maintenance Premium) percentage is 7.298% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on August 1, 2017. Using the period end exchange rate of $1USD = $1.3322CAD this premium amounts to $19,445. At March 31, 2017, the Company had the option to redeem the Notes at 4.084% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding which amounts to $6,265 using the period end exchange rate. The Company can redeem the Notes at any time up to the August 1, 2017 maturity date, following the optional redemption schedule set out in the Notes indenture.

  4. The Company has an annual obligation for oil sands mineral lease rentals and surface lease rentals.

The Company has been named as a Defendant in Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary, commenced by a shareholder of the Company (the “Claimant”) by Statement of Claim (the “Action”) filed January 2, 2014. The Claimant alleges that, pursuant to a share subscription agreement entered into in January 2011, it is entitled to require the Company to repurchase 4,132,232 shares (prior to the 20:1 share split that occurred prior to the Company’s IPO) of the Company that the Claimant acquired pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement. This constitutes a claim for $40 million plus interest at 15% per annum since the date of the share subscription agreement. The Company’s Statement of Defence was filed on April 2, 2014. The Claimant’s application for summary judgment was heard on February 2 and 3, 2016. The summary judgment application was dismissed on February 3, 2016. No amounts have been accrued in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2017 as the ultimate resolution is undeterminable at this time. The Company will record a provision if it believes that the outcome of the contingency becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

In the normal conduct of operations, there are other pending claims by and against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance.
