NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts) (unaudited)
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Bengal Energy Ltd. (the “Company” or “Bengal”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and is involved in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves in Australia. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are comprised of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Bengal Energy Australia (Pty) Ltd. (“Bengal Pty”) and Bengal Energy International Inc., which are incorporated in Australia and Canada respectively. The Company conducts many of its activities jointly with others; these financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.
The Company has its registered office at 2400, 525 – 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 1G1 and its head and principal office at 1110, 715 – 5th Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 2X6.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.
These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on August 10, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policies disclosed in the company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars. The functional currency of the Canadian parent entity is Canadian dollars; the functional currency of the Australian subsidiary is Australian dollars.
Evolving Demand for Energy - Changing Regulation
Emission, carbon, and other regulations impacting climate and climate-related matters are dynamic and constantly evolving. With respect to environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) and climate reporting, the International Sustainability Standards Board has issued an IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standard with the aim to develop sustainability disclosure standards that are globally consistent, comparable, and reliable. In addition, the Canadian Securities Administrators have issued a proposed National Instrument 51-107 Disclosure of Climate-related Matters. The cost and financial reporting impact of compliance with these standards, and others that may be developed or evolve over time, has not yet been quantified by the Company.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used to prepare these financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.
4. MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The timely preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
6
recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below.
The economic climate may have significant adverse impacts on the Company, including material declines in revenue and cash flows, and related impacts to working capital levels and/or debt balances, which may also have a direct impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position. These and other factors may adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and the Company’s ability to generate income and cash flows to meet the Company’s current and future obligations. A full list of the critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty can be found in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a share option plan for directors, officers and employees of the Company whereby share options representing up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares can be granted by the Board of Directors. Share options are granted for a term of up to five years and vest one-third after the first year and one-third on each of the next two anniversary dates. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant.
Stock options granted under the plan can be exercised on a cashless basis, whereby the recipient receives a lesser amount of shares in lieu of paying the exercise price based on the deemed market price of the shares on the exercise date, and withholding taxes if the employee so elects.

10. REVENUE
Revenue from the sales of crude oil is based on the consideration specified in the Liquids Aggregation Agreement with the joint venture operator. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the product to the joint venture operator, which is generally at the time the joint venture operator obtains legal title of the crude oil and when it is physically delivered to the pipeline at an estimated transaction price based on average US Brent price and is adjusted for quality and other factors specified in the Liquids Aggregation Agreement once the product is shipped to the end customer and lifted.
The transaction price as prescribed in the Liquids Aggregation Agreement is a variable price based on the benchmark US Brent commodity price index, and may be adjusted for quality, location, delivery method or other factors depending on the agreed upon terms of the contract. The amount of revenue recorded can vary depending on the grade, quality and quantity of crude oil transferred to the joint venture operator. Revenues are typically collected 60 days following delivery to Port Bonython. Effective July 1, 2022, the Cuisinier Joint Venture negotiated a revised Liquids Aggregation Agreement with corresponding transportation agreements through to December 31, 2023.
11. PER SHARE AMOUNTS
Income (loss) per share is calculated based on net income (loss) and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has exposure to credit, liquidity and market risk from its use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to these risks, the Company’s objectives and policies and processes for measuring and managing risk.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for identifying the principal risks of the Company and ensuring the policies and procedures are in place to appropriately manage these risks. Bengal’s management identifies, analyzes and monitors risks and considers the implication of the market condition in relation to the Company’s activities.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from Bengal’s cash calls paid to joint venture partners and receivables from petroleum and natural gas marketers. As at June 30, 2023, Bengal’s receivables consisted of $1.3 million (March 31, 2023 - $1.1 million) from joint venture partners (all of which has been collected subsequent to period end).
- 10 -
Bengal has a Liquids Aggregation Agreement with a purchaser and has not experienced any collection problems to date.
Cash calls paid to Bengal’s Australian joint venture partners are held in trust accounts by the partner until spent. Bengal attempts to mitigate the risk from joint venture receivables by approving significant spending by partners prior to expenditure and only paying the cash call shortly before the funds are to be spent.
The Company had no accounts considered past due at June 30, 2023 (March 31, 2023 - $nil). Past due is considered greater than 90 days outstanding.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents represents the maximum credit exposure. Bengal establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as determined by management based on their assessment of collection. Bengal does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts as at June 30, 2023 (March 31, 2023 – $nil) and did not provide for any doubtful accounts, nor was it required to write-off any receivables during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents, when held, consist of cash bank balances and guaranteed investment certificates redeemable at any time. Bengal manages the credit exposure related to guaranteed investments by selecting counterparties based on credit ratings and monitors all investments to ensure a stable return, avoiding complex investment vehicles with higher risk such as asset-backed commercial paper.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations, including work commitments, as they are due. Bengal prepares an annual budget and updates forecasts for operating, financing and investing activities on an ongoing basis to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
Bengal’s financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables and lease liability and amounted to $3.5 million at June 30, 2023 (March 31, 2023 - $3.1 million).
At June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital deficit, which the Company defines as total current assets less total current liabilities, excluding other obligations and current portion of decommissioning obligations, of $0.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million, compared to a working capital deficit of $0.3 million at March 31, 2023. The Company expects that its cashflows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its ongoing operating and general expenses, however additional capital will be required to meet future capital commitments and to fund future planned capital projects.
The majority of the Company’s oil sales are benchmarked on US Brent prices. The Company incurs most of its expenditures in Australian dollars whereas the Company generates most of its revenues in US dollars. The Company is acting with its joint venture partners to reduce discretionary operational spending and limiting its capital expenditures capital towards lower risk projects that meet its internal economic hurdles and are expected to offer near-term cash flow upside.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Company is exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates in the normal course of operations. A variety of derivative instruments may be used to reduce exposure to these risks.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. Bengal receives US dollars for Australian oil sales and incurs expenditures in Australian and Canadian currencies. The Company may enter into derivative foreign currency contracts in order to manage foreign currency risk but has not done so to date.
The table below shows the Company’s exposure in Canadian dollar equivalent to foreign currencies for its financial instruments at June 30, 2023:
- 11 -
| ($000s) | CAD$ | AUS$ | US$ | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ 181 | $ 35 |

| Number of CAD$ for 1 AUS$ | 0.88 | 0.89 | ||
| Number of CAD$for 1 US$ | 1.32 | 1.29 |
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of a change in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are impacted by not only the relationship between the Canadian and United States dollar, as outlined above, but also world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. Australian oil prices are based on the US Brent reference price, which currently trades at a premium to WTI. The Company had no commodity price derivatives at June 30, 2023 and 2022.
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 exposure to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 is restricted to investments with a maturity of three months or less. The Company had no interest rate derivatives at June 30, 2023 and 2022.
14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company’s policy is to maintain a sufficient capital base for the objectives of maintaining financial flexibility which will allow it to operate effectively and provide creditor and market confidence allowing for financing opportunities in support of future accretive capital projects.
The Company manages its capital structure and make adjustments by continually monitoring its business conditions, including changes in economic conditions, the risk profile of its project inventory, the efficiencies of past investments, the efficiencies of forecasted investments and the timing of such investments, the forecasted cash balances, the forecasted commodity prices and resulting cash flow.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may from time to time issue shares (if available on reasonable terms), issue debt instruments, sell assets, farm out properties and adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected cash levels. There can be no assurance that equity financing will be available or sufficient to meet capital commitments, or for other corporate purposes, or if equity financing is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
