NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020

Expressed in US dollars

 

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Petroteq Energy Inc. (the “Company” or “Petroteq”) is a holding company organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada, that is engaged in various aspects of the oil and gas industry. Our primary focus is on the development and implementation of our proprietary oil sands mining and processing technology to recover oil from surface mined bitumen deposits. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Petroteq Energy CA, Inc., a California corporation (“PCA”), conducts our oil sands extraction business through two wholly owned operating companies, Petroteq Oil Recovery, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“POR”), and TMC Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“TMC Capital”).

 

The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 6000, 1 First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1E2, Canada and its principal operating office is located at 15315 W. Magnolia Blvd, Suite 120, Sherman Oaks, California 91403, USA.

 

Through PCA, our wholly owned subsidiary, and PCA’s two subsidiaries POR and TMC Capital, the Company is in the business of exploring for, extracting and producing oil and hydrocarbon products from oil sands deposits and sediments located in the Asphalt Ridge Are of Uintah County, Utah, utilizing our proprietary extraction technology (the “Petroteq Clean Oil Recovery Technology” or “Extraction Technology”). Our primary oil sands extraction and processing operations are conducted at our Asphalt Ridge processing facility (herein the “Asphalt Ridge Plant” or “Plant”), which is owned by POR.

 

Petroteq owns the intellectual property rights to the Petroteq Clean Oil Recovery Technology which is used at our Asphalt Ridge Plant to extract and produce crude oil from oil sands utilizing a closed-loop solvent based extraction system.

 

Mineral Rights

 

Through its acquisition of TMC Capital in June 2015, Petroteq indirectly acquired certain mineral rights under the TMC Mineral Lease, which encompassed approximately 1,229.82 acres of land in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge in Uintah County, Utah. On or about August 10, 2020, the TMC Mineral Lease in its original form was terminated and a new Short-Term Mining Lease, dated the same date, was entered into between Asphalt Ridge, Inc., as lessor, and Valkor, LLC, (“Valkor”) as lessee. Valkor and TMC Capital thereafter entered into a Short-Term Mining and Mineral Sublease dated August 20, 2020, in which all of Valkor’s rights and interests under the Short-Term Mining Lease were subleased to TMC Capital.

 

In June 2018, Petroteq, acting through POR, acquired the record lease title and all of the operating rights to produce oil from oil sands resources under two mineral leases entitled “Utah State Mineral Lease for Bituminous-Asphaltic Sands”, each dated June 1, 2018, between the State of Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (“SITLA”), as lessor, and POR, as lessee, covering lands consisting of approximately 1,351.91 acres that largely adjoin the lands covered by the TMC Mineral Lease. In March 2019, a third SITLA Lease was acquired by Petroteq that added 39.97 acres to the mix in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge.

 

On January 18, 2019, the Company paid $10,800,000 for the acquisition of 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $10,800,000 was settled by the payment of $1,800,000 and by the issuance of 15,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per share.

 

On July 22, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the BLM, covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah for a total consideration of $13,000,000 settled by the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.40 per share, and cash of $1,000,000, of which $900,000 has been paid to date.

 

Between March 14, 2019 and November 30, 2021, the Company made cash deposits of $1,907,000 (acting through TMC Capital), included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets for the acquisition of 100% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases in Garfield and Wayne Counties, Utah, covering approximately 8,480 gross acres in P.R. Springs and the Tar Sands Triangle within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $3,000,000 has been partially settled by a cash payment of $1,907,000, with the balance of $1,093,000 still outstanding.

1.GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

 

Mineral Rights (continued)

 

In a letter agreement dated April 17, 2020 between the transferor of the oil and gas leases and TMC Capital, as transferee, the parties, due to uncertainty as to whether all of the 10 leases for which the Company had initially paid deposits would be considered active by BLM and included in new Combined Hydrocarbon Leases (CHLs) under the Combined Hydrocarbon Act of 1981 - agreed to adjust the purchase price as follows: (a) should all 10 of the leases be available and included in CHL’s, the Company will pay the additional $1,093,000 for the rights under the leases; (b) if only a portion of the leases ranging from 4 to 9 of the leases are available and included in CHL’s, the final purchase price of the leases will be between $1.5 million and $2.5 million; and (c) notwithstanding the above, if after a period of 7 years from April 17, 2020, at least six of the leases are not determined to be active and are not included in CHLs the Company shall be entitled to demand a refund of $1.2 million or instruct the Seller to acquire other leases in the same area for up to $1.2 million.

 

TMC Capital, POR and Valkor have entered into an Agreement Governing Reciprocal Assignment of mineral Leases dated October 15, 2021 (the “Exchange Agreement”), under which (a) TMC and POR agreed to assign to Valkor all of their respective rights and interests in the TMC Mineral Lease (and the Short-Term Mining Lease dated August 10, 2020 held by Valkor) and in the Temple Mountain SITLA Leases, and (b) Valkor agreed to assign to TMC Capital all of its rights and interests (including the record lease title and operating rights) in the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases consisting of three Utah state mineral leases located in the Asphalt Ridge Northwest area of Uintah County, Utah. Under this agreement, once the exchange of SITLA Leases is approved by SITLA, Petroteq (acting through TMC Capital) will hold three new SITLA Leases encompassing approximately 3,458.22 acres in an area called “Asphalt Ridge Northwest”.

 

In addition, under other agreements entered into between or among TMC Capital, POR and Valkor in October 2021, (a) Valkor granted to TMC Capital the right to participate, up to a 50% working interest, in all exploratory, mining and production operations conducted by Valkor under its Short-Term Mining Lease encompassing the acreage that is subject to the TMC Mineral Sublease, and (b) TMC Capital granted to Valkor the operating rights in at or below 500 feet below the surface under the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases, with TMC Capital reserving the right to participate, at up to a 50% working interest, in all exploratory and production operations conducted by Valkor in deeper (below 500 feet subsurface or more) oil sands deposits and reservoirs.

 

Following completion of the exchange of mineral leases contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, TMC Capital, POR and Valkor, Petroteq (through POR) will continue to own the Asphalt Ridge Plant in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge. It is anticipated that Petroteq (acting through TMC Capital) and Valkor will, during the ensuing year, determine whether a new 5,000 BPD oil sands processing plant utilizing Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology should be constructed and operated on lands covered by the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases.

Suspension of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

 

On August 6, 2021, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order (the “CTO”) against the Company, as a result of its failure to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q (and related certifications) for the period ended May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Q3 Filings”) on or before July 30, 2021, as required under Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

 

The Company filed the 2021 Q3 Filings on SEDAR and with the Canadian Securities Administration on SEDAR, and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on EDGAR on August 19, 2021. As a result, the Ontario securities Commission revoked the CTO effective August 24,2021. In addition, on August 19, 2021, the Company’s amended financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis ‎for the eight quarters from May 31, 2019 to February 28, 2021 were filed on SEDAR and with the SEC, as set forth in the Company’s amended annual reports on Form 10-K/A for the financial years ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2020, and in the Company’s amended quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A for the periods ended May 31, 2019, November 30, 2019, February 29, 2020, May 31, 2020, November 30, 2020 and February 28, 2021. The Company’s amended financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the period ended February 28, 2019 were filed on SEDAR on August 23, 2021, and with the SEC on August 25, 2021, as exhibits to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K.

 

As a result of the issuance of the CTO on August 6, 2021, the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) suspended trading of the Company’s Common Shares. As part of the TSXV’s review of the Company’s reinstatement application, the TSXV reviewed the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 and raised concerns that certain transactions may not have been submitted to the TSXV for approval, as required under the TSXV’s policies. As a result of an internal investigation the Company identified several transactions (the “Transactions”) which although disclosed in the Company’s public filings on SEDAR and EDGAR, had not been submitted for approval by the TSXV.

Unsolicited takeover bid by Viston United swiss AG

 

On October 27, 2021, 2869889 Ontario Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Viston United Swiss AG commenced a conditional, unsolicited takeover bid (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Viston filed a Tender Offer Statement with the SEC relating to the Offer on Schedule TO under section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on October 25, 2021, and an amendment to the Tender Offer Statement on October 27, 2021. As set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 under section 14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021, shareholders were advised that the Board of Directors was then not yet in a position to make a recommendation to shareholders to accept or reject the Offer, and that the Company had retained Haywood Securities Inc. as financial advisor to the Company and the Board of Directors.

 

As set forth in the amendment to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as filed with the SEC on January 4, 2022, on December 29, 2021, after thorough consideration of all aspects of the Viston Offer, the advice provided by Haywood and consulting with its other advisors, the Board unanimously determined to recommend that Shareholders accept the Viston Offer and tender their Common Shares, for reasons that include the following:

 

Results of Strategic Review

 

Based on the results of the strategic review presented by Haywood, the Board believes that the ‎immediate cash value offered to Shareholders under the Viston Offer is more favorable to Shareholders ‎than the potential value that might otherwise result from other alternatives reasonably available to ‎Petroteq, including remaining as a stand-alone entity and pursuing Petroteq’s existing strategy, in each case ‎taking into consideration the potential rewards, risks, timelines and uncertainties associated with those ‎other alternatives.

Unsolicited takeover bid by Viston United swiss AG (continued)

 

Premium Over Market Price

 

The consideration of ‎C$0.74 ‎in cash per Common Share (the “Cash Consideration”) under the Viston Offer represents a premium of ‎approximately 279% over the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on August 6, 2021, being the last trading day that the Common Shares were traded on the T‎SXV.

 

Unlikelihood of Superior Proposal

 

The Board, with ‎the assistance of Haywood, has taken active steps to assess and solicit strategic ‎alternatives and has attempted to secure a proposal that would be superior to the Viston Offer. However, no superior ‎alternative to the Viston Offer has emerged and Petroteq does not expect a superior alternative to emerge ‎in the near term.

 

Common Shares Remain Relatively Illiquid

 

Trading in the Common Shares on the TSXV remains suspended, and there is no certainty as to when ‎‎the TSXV will resume trading in the Common Shares.

 

Certainty of Outcome

 

The Viston Offer provides 100% cash consideration for the Common Shares and offers Shareholders certainty ‎‎of value and immediate liquidity‎.‎

 

Possible Decline in Market Price

 

If the Viston Offer is not successful and another alternative offer with superior financial terms does not emerge, the market price of the Common Shares in the public markets may decline significantly.

 

Reduces Inherent Business Risk

 

Based on the strategic review conducted with Haywood, the Viston Offer appears to provide Shareholders ‎with the value inherent in Petroteq’s portfolio of projects, assuming they are fully realized, without the ‎long-term risks associated with the development and execution of those projects. Given the relatively early ‎stage of Petroteq’s projects, it will be several years before the projects in Petroteq’s portfolio reach ‎commercial production, if at all‎.

 

Significant Growth Funding Required

 

Petroteq’s projects have significant funding requirements to prove and scale its technology. Petroteq currently has limited cash to fund its necessary capital projects and near-term debt maturities, which will be a further drain on cash. Equity financing sufficient to repay debt and fund the progress of Petroteq’s business plan, if available, may be significantly dilutive to Shareholders.

 

Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals

 

Petroteq has not entered into a support or similar agreement with Viston in respect to the Viston Offer. The Board has reserved the ability to seek out or respond to proposals that may deliver greater value to Shareholders than the Viston Offer. There is nothing to prevent a third party from proposing or making a superior proposal or preclude Petroteq from changing its recommendation.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

(a)Basis of preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2021 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value. The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all of its operations is the U.S. dollar, as it is the principal currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, all amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

 

The Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument 52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit Standards” as adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators and is relying on the exemptions of Section 3.7 of NI 52-107 and of Section 1.4(8) of the Companion Policy to National Instrument 51-102 “Continuous Disclosure Obligations” (“NI 51-102CP”) which permits the Company to prepare its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for Canadian securities law reporting purposes.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 19, 2022.

 

(b)Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has at least a majority voting interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  

(c)Estimates

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to recovery of long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to the Company’s reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the following;

 

the useful lives and depreciation rates for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment;

 

the carrying and fair value of oil and gas properties and product and equipment inventories;

 

all provisions;

 

the fair value of reporting units and the related assessment of goodwill for impairment, if applicable;

 

the fair value of intangibles other than goodwill;
  
income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets
  
legal and environmental risks and exposures; and
  
general credit risks associated with receivables, if any.

 

(d)Foreign currency translation adjustments

  

The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all its operations is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian parent company are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Income, expenses and cash flows are translated using an average exchange rate during the reporting period. Since the reporting currency as well as the functional currency of all entities is the U.S. Dollar there is no translation difference recorded.

   

(e)Revenue recognition

  

The Company recognizes revenue in terms of ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).

 

Revenue transactions are assessed using a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods or services. The five steps are as follows:

 

i.identify the contract with a customer;

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  

(e)Revenue recognition (continued)

  

Revenue from hydrocarbon sales

  

Revenue from hydrocarbon sales include the sale of hydrocarbon products and are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. This occurs when control is transferred to the purchaser upon delivery of contract specified production volumes at a specified point. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms. Revenue is invoiced, if required, upon delivery based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically received within 30 days after invoice date. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on hydrocarbon sales, if any, are not included in such revenues, but are presented separately in the consolidated comprehensive statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

 

The Company does not anticipate entering into long-term supply contracts, rather it expects all contracts to be short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. The Company intends applying the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. For contracts with terms greater than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient in ASC 606 exempting the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if there is any variable consideration to be allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. The Company anticipates that with respect to the contracts it will enter into, each unit of product will typically represent a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

  

Contract balances

  

The Company does not anticipate that it will receive cash relating to future performance obligations. However if such cash is received, the revenue will be deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met.

  

Disaggregation of revenue

 

The Company has limited revenues to date. Disaggregation of revenue disclosures can be found in Note 23. 

  

Customers

  

The Company anticipates that it will have a limited number of customers which will make up the bulk of its revenues due to the nature of the oil and gas industry.

 

(f)General and administrative expenses

  

General and administrative expenses will be presented net of any working interest owners, if any, of the oil and gas properties owned or leased by the Company.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  

(g)Share-based payments

 

The Company may grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and others providing similar services. The fair value of these stock options is measured at grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the options vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.

 

The Company may also grant equity instruments to consultants and other parties in exchange for goods and services. Such instruments are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received on the date they are received and are recorded as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity. If the fair value of the goods and services received are not reliably determinable, their fair value is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

  

  (h) Income taxes

  

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

  

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements, under which a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

  

The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company elects to recognize any interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

  

  (i) Net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

  

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for stock options and share purchase warrants. Under this method, “in-the-money” stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  

  (j) Cash and cash equivalents

  

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  

  (k) Accounts receivable

  

The Company had minimal sales during the period of which all proceeds were collected therefore there are no accounts receivable balances.

  

  (l) Oil and gas property and equipment

  

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, and costs associated with delay rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of successful exploratory efforts along with acquisition costs and the costs of development of surface mining sites are capitalized. 

 

Site development costs are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending the determination of proved reserves. If proved reserves are found, site development costs remain capitalized as proved properties. Costs of unsuccessful site developments are charged to exploration expense. For site development costs that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when development is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory site development costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing site and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If management determines that future appraisal development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory development costs are expensed. In some instances, this determination may take longer than one year. The Company reviews the status of all suspended exploratory site development costs quarterly.

  

Capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method. Proved leasehold acquisition costs, less accumulated amortization, are depleted over total proved reserves, which includes proved undeveloped reserves. Capitalized costs of related equipment and facilities, including estimated asset retirement costs, net of estimated salvage values and less accumulated amortization are depreciated over proved developed reserves associated with those capitalized costs. Depletion is calculated by applying the DD&A rate (amortizable base divided by beginning of period proved reserves) to current period production.

  

Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The Company assesses its unproved properties for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.

  

Proved properties will be assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a common operating location. If there is an indication the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered, the asset is assessed for potential impairment by management through an established process. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants or by comparable transactions. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

  (l) Oil and gas property and equipment (continued)

 

Gains or losses are recorded for sales or dispositions of oil and gas properties which constitute an entire common operating field or which result in a significant alteration of the common operating field’s DD&A rate. These gains and losses are classified as asset dispositions in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Partial common operating field sales or dispositions deemed not to significantly alter the DD&A rates are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized.

 

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to material unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties.

  

  (m) Other property and equipment

  

Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment, including corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to major corporate construction projects are also capitalized.

 

  (n) Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities

  

The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing sites when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The Company’s asset retirement obligations also include estimated environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that used for the associated property and equipment.

  

  (o) Commitments and contingencies

  

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from allegations of improper operation of assets are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for property and equipment.

  

  (p) Fair value measurements

  

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This price is commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

 

Level 1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

 

Level 2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable for the asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets not considered to be active.

 

Level 3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the lowest priority. The most common Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed cash flow model.

(q)Comparative amounts

  

The comparative amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the presentation used in the current year.

  

(r)Recent accounting standards

  

Issued accounting standards not yet adopted

 

The Company will evaluate the applicability of the following issued accounting standards and intends to adopt those which are applicable to its activities.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20): and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). Certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features are removed from the guidance and for equity instruments the contracts affected are free standing instruments and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives, the settlement assessment was simplified by removing certain settlement requirements.

 

This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.

 

The effects of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed and is expected to have an immaterial impact on the financial statements.

  

Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

  

3.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has incurred losses for several years and, at November 30, 2021, has an accumulated deficit of $102,683,840 (August 31, 2021 - $100,138,592) and working capital (deficiency) of $2,979,405 (August 31, 2021 - $6,264,427). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional financing, which it is currently in the process of obtaining. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue operations in the normal course of business.

6.MINERAL LEASES (continued)

 

(a)TMC Mineral Lease

 

Effective August 10, 2020, the TMC mineral lease was terminated and a new Short-Term Mining Lease agreement between Valkor and Asphalt Ridge, Inc was entered into with a back to back Short-Term Mining and Mineral sub-lease entered into between Valkor and TMC, whereby all of the rights and obligations of the lease were sub-let to TMC.

 

The salient terms of the lease were as follows:

 

1.The exclusive right and privilege during the term of this Sublease to explore for and mine by any methods now known or hereafter developed, extract and sell or otherwise dispose of, any and all asphalt, bitumen, maltha, tar sands, oil sands (“Tar Sands”) and any and all other minerals of whatever kind or nature which are associated with or contained in any Tar Sands deposit, whether hydrocarbon, metalliferous, non-metalliferous or otherwise, including, but not limited to, gold, silver, platinum, sand and clays on and in the Property, and whether heretofore known or hereafter discovered (collectively, “Minerals”), from the ground surface to a depth of 3,000 feet above Mean Sea level (MSL), together with the products and byproducts of the processing of the Minerals, and together with the right to use so much of the surface of the Property as may be necessary in the exercise of said rights and in furtherance of the purposes expressed herein, including ingress and egress, and together with the right to construct on the Property such improvements as may be reasonably necessary to the exploration for and the mining, extraction, removal, processing, beneficiating, sale or other disposition of the Minerals, but not including the construction of any new roads without the prior written consent of Sublessor; and

 

  2. The right to use any or all of the Water Rights at any time during the term of this Sublease in conducting its activities as provided for herein; provided that approval of change applications may need to be obtained in order to allow use of the Water Rights on the Property for mining purposes.

 

  3. The term of the sub-lease is for the period ending June 30, 2021 unless the Short Term Mining Lease between Valkor and Asphalt Ridge is terminated earlier.

 

  4. During the Term and subject to the Lessor Reserved Rights, Sublessee shall have the right to explore, develop, mine, drill, pump, process, produce and market the Minerals in, on, or under the Property, including any existing stockpiles or dumps, whether by drilling, surface, strip, contour, quarry, bench, underground, solution, in situ or other mining methods, and in connection therewith, Sublessee shall have the right to conduct the following activities and operations (“Operations”) on the Property in accordance with the terms of this Sublease and applicable laws and regulations:

 

  a. To mine, process, mill, beneficiate, treat, concentrate, extract, refine, leach, convert, upgrade, prepare for market, any and all Minerals mined or otherwise extracted from the Property;

 

  b. To temporarily store or permanently dispose on the Property Minerals, water, waste or other materials resulting from Operations on the Property;

 

  c. to use and develop any and all ditches, flumes, water and Water Rights and appurtenant to the Property; and

 

  d. to use so much of the surface and surface resources of the Property as may be reasonably necessary in the exercise of said rights, or which Sublessee may deem desirable or convenient, including rights of ingress and egress in connection with its operations on the Property. During the term of the lease the sub-lessee has the right to use any or all of the Water Rights at any time during the term of this Sublease in conducting its activities as provided for herein; provided that approval of change applications may need to be obtained in order to allow use of the Water Rights on the Property for mining purposes.

(a)TMC Mineral Lease (continued)

 

5.TMC will pay Valkor the sum of $25,000 on lease commencement, and thereafter $15,000 per month until expiration of the lease

 

6.TMC will pay a production royalty as follows:

 

a.For “Bitumen Product” produced from Tar Sands mined or otherwise extracted from the Property shall be eight percent (8%) of the gross sales revenue received by Sublessee from the sale of such Bitumen Product at the Property. As used herein, the term “Bitumen Product” means naturally occurring oil in the Tar Sands that is sold in whatever form, including run-of-mine, screened, processed, or after the addition of any additives and/or upgrading of the Bitumen Product

 

  b. The Production Royalty on all other Minerals produced from Bitumen Product mined or otherwise extracted from the Property and sold shall be eight percent (8%) of the gross sales revenue received by Sublessee. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 1, wherein sales of products and byproducts are wholly accounted for, should sales occur to a third party purchaser that is engaged in marketing a variety of products or by-products made from such materials, payments to Sublessor may vary. If Sublessee’s receipts are measurably greater than comparable sales by others of similar products or byproducts which may be due to the nature of high end by-products such as frac sands produced and sold by the third party, the Production Royalty to Sublessor shall be the greater of a 5% royalty on the gross value of the product and by-products sold by the third party or 50% of the gross revenue received by Sublessee from the sale of such products or byproducts, as the case may be.

6.MINERAL LEASES (continued)

 

(b)SITLA Mineral Lease (Petroteq Oil Recovery, LLC mineral lease)

 

On June 1, 2018, the Company acquired mineral rights under two mineral leases entered into between SITLA, as lessor, and POR, as lessee, covering lands in Asphalt Ridge that largely adjoin the lands held under the TMC Mineral Lease (collectively, the “SITLA Mineral Leases”). The SITLA Mineral Leases are valid until May 30, 2028 and have rights for extensions based on reasonable production. The leases remain in effect beyond the original lease term so long as mining and sale of the tar sands are continued and sufficient to cover operating costs of the Company.

 

Advanced royalty of $10 per acre are due annually each year the lease remains in effect and can be applied against actual production royalties. The advanced royalty is subject to price adjustment by the lessor after the tenth year of the lease and then at the end of each period of five years thereafter.

 

Production royalties payable are 8% of the market price of marketable product or products produced from the tar sands and sold under arm’s length contract of sale. Production royalties have a minimum of $3 per barrel of produced substance and may be increased by the lessor after the first ten years of production at a maximum rate of 1% per year and up to 12.5%.

 

  (c) BLM Mineral Lease

 

On January 18, 2019, the Company paid $10,800,000 for the acquisition of 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $10,800,000 was settled by a cash payment of $1,800,000 and by the issuance of 15,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per share, amounting to $9,000,000.

 

On July 22, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the BLM covering approximately 5,960 gross acres (2,980 net acres) within the State of Utah, for a total consideration of $13,000,000 settled by the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.40 per share, amounting to $12,000,000 and cash of $1,000,000, of which $100,000 has not been paid to date.

7.PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

 

Oil Extraction Plant

 

In June 2011, the Company commenced the development of an oil extraction facility on its mineral lease in Maeser, Utah and entered into construction and equipment fabrication contracts for this purpose. On September 1, 2015, the first phase of the plant was completed and was ready for production of hydrocarbon products for resale to third parties. During the year ended August 31, 2017 the Company began the dismantling and relocating the oil extraction facility to its TMC Mineral Lease facility to improve production and logistical efficiencies while continuing its project to increase production capacity to a minimum capacity of 400-500 barrels per day. The plant has been substantially relocated to the TMC mining site and expansion of the plant to production of 400-500 barrels per day has been substantially completed.

  

Included in the cost of construction is capitalized borrowing costs as at November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021 of $4,421,055. No borrowing costs were capitalized for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and the year ended August 31, 2021.

 

As a result of the relocation of the plant and the planned expansion of the plant’s production capacity to 400-500 barrels per day, and subsequently to an additional 3,000 barrels per day, the Company re-evaluated the depreciation policy of the oil extraction plant and the oil extraction technologies (Note 9) and determined that depreciation should be recorded on the basis of the expected production of the completed plant at various capacities. No amortization has been recorded during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and for the year ended August 31, 2021 as there has only been test production during these years.

 

8.LEASES

 

The Company entered into a real property lease for office space located at 15315 Magnolia Blvd., Sherman Oaks, California. The lease commenced on September 1, 2019 and expires on August 31, 2024, monthly rental expense is $4,941 per month with annual 3% escalations during the term of the lease.

 

The initial value of the right-of-use asset was $245,482 and the operating lease liability was $245,482. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of our lease. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding right-of-use asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative right-of-use asset balance is recorded as a loss in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

During April 2015, the Company entered into two equipment loan agreements in the aggregate amount of $282,384, with financial institutions to acquire equipment for the oil extraction facility. The loans had a term of 60 months and bore interest at rates between 4.3% and 4.9% per annum. Principal and interest were paid in monthly installments. These loans were secured by the acquired assets.

 

On May 7, 2018, the Company entered into a negotiable promissory note and security agreement with Commercial Credit Group to acquire a crusher from Power Equipment Company for $660,959. An implied interest rate was calculated as 12.36% based on the timing of the initial repayment of $132,200 and subsequent 42 monthly instalments of $15,571. The terms of the note were renegotiated during June 2020, and the instalments were amended to $16,140 per month due to payments not being made during the pandemic. The promissory note is secured by the crusher.

 

Discount Rate

 

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at September 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).

 

The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the 5 year ARM (adjustable-rate mortgage) interest rate at the time of entering into the agreement and compared that rate to the Company’s weighted average cost of funding at the time of entering into the operating lease. The Company determined that 10.00% was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.

Oil Extraction Technologies

 

During the year ended August 31, 2012, the Company acquired a closed-loop solvent based oil extraction technology which facilitates the extraction of oil from a wide range of bituminous sands and other hydrocarbon sediments. The Company has filed patents for this technology in the USA and Canada and has employed it in its oil extraction plant. The Company commenced partial production from its oil extraction plant on September 1, 2015 and was amortizing the cost of the technology over fifteen years, the expected life of the oil extraction plant. Since the company has increased the capacity of the plant to 400 to 500 barrels daily during 2018, and expects to further expand the capacity to an additional 3,000 barrels daily, it determined that a more appropriate basis for the amortization of the technology is the units of production at the plant after commercial production begins again.

 

No amortization of the technology was recorded during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and the year ended august 31, 2021.

 

10.ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

  

Accounts payable as at November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021 consist primarily of amounts outstanding for construction and expansion of the oil extraction plant and other operating expenses that are due on demand.

  

Accrued expenses as at November 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021 consist primarily of other operating expenses and interest accruals on promissory notes (Note 11) and convertible debentures (Note 12).

14.DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

Convertible note issued to several lenders, disclosed in note 12(e), above had conversion rights that were linked to the Company’s stock price, at 75% of an average stock price over a period of 15 days prior to the date of conversion.  The number of shares issuable upon conversion of these convertible notes was therefore not determinable until conversion took place. The Company had determined that these conversion features met the requirements for classification as derivative liabilities and had measured their fair value using a Black Scholes valuation model which takes into account the following factors:

 

Historical share price volatility;

 

Maturity dates of the underlying securities being valued;

 

Risk free interest rates; and

 

Expected dividend policies of the Company.

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities was initially recognized as a debt discount. In terms of amending agreements entered into with Morison Management, as disclosed on note 12(g) (iii) to (v), the terms of the notes were amended and the variable conversion price was amended to fixed conversion prices. The derivative liability was no longer applicable. The derivative liability was evaluated on November 17, 2021, the date of amendment, and the net value of the derivative liability at that date was included in the calculation of the loss on debt extinguishment, based on the beneficial conversion feature of the amended notes on November 17, 2021.

(a)Oil Extraction Plant

  

In accordance with the terms of the sub-lease agreement disclosed in note 6 above, the Company is required to dismantle its oil extraction plant at the end of the lease term. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company recorded a provision of $350,000 for dismantling the facility.

  

During the year ended August 31, 2019, in accordance with the requirements to provide a surety bond to the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining in terms of the amendment to the Notice of Intent to Commence Large Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per day, the Company estimated that the cost of dismantling the oil extraction plant and related equipment would increase to $498,484. The discount rate used in the calculation is estimated to be 2.32%.

 

Because of the long-term nature of the liability, the greatest uncertainties in estimating this provision are the costs that will be incurred and the timing of the dismantling of the oil extraction facility. In particular, the Company has assumed that the oil extraction facility will be dismantled using technology and equipment currently available and that the plant will continue to be economically viable until the end of the lease term.

(b)Site restoration

  

In accordance with environmental laws in the United States, the Company’s environmental permits and the lease agreements, the Company is required to restore contaminated and disturbed land to its original condition before the end of the lease term, which is expected to be in 25 years. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company provided $200,000 for this purpose.

  

The site restoration provision represents rehabilitation and restoration costs related to oil extraction sites. This provision has been created based on the Company’s internal estimates. Significant assumptions in estimating the provision include the technology and equipment currently available, future environmental laws and restoration requirements, and future market prices for the necessary restoration works required.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2019, in accordance with the requirements to provide a surety bond to the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining in terms of the amendment to the Notice of Intent to Commence Large Mining Operations at an estimated production of 4,000 barrels per day, the Company estimated that the cost of restoring the site would increase to $2,472,013.

Legal Matters

 

On December 27, 2018, the Company executed and delivered: (i) a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Redline Capital Management S.A. (“Redline”) and Momentum Asset Partners II, LLC; (ii) a secured promissory note payable to Redline in the principal amount of $6,000,000 (the “Note”) with a maturity date of 27 December 2020, bearing interest at 10% per annum; and (iii) a Security Agreement (together with the Settlement Agreement and the Note, the “Redline Agreements”) among the Company, Redline, and TMC Capital, LLC (“TMC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

After undertaking an in-depth analysis of the Redline Agreements in the context of the underlying transactions and events, special legal counsel to the Company has opined that the Redline Agreements are likely void and unenforceable.

 

The Company’s special legal counsel regards the possibility of Redline’s success in pursuing any claims against the Company or TMC under the Redline Agreements as less than reasonably possible and therefore no provision has been raised against these claims.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the options and remedies that are available to it to ensure that the Redline Agreements are declared as void or are rescinded and extinguished.

25.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Events after the reporting date not otherwise separately disclosed in these consolidated financial statements are:

 

Unsolicited takeover bid by Viston United swiss AG

 

On October 27, 2021, 2869889 Ontario Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Viston United Swiss AG commenced a conditional, unsolicited takeover bid (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Viston filed a Tender Offer Statement with the SEC relating to the Offer on Schedule TO under section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on October 25, 2021, and an amendment to the Tender Offer Statement on October 27, 2021. As set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 under section 14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021, shareholders were advised that the Board of Directors was not yet in a position to make a recommendation to shareholders to accept or reject the Offer, and that the Company has retained Haywood Securities Inc. as financial advisor to the Company and the Board of Directors.

 

As set forth in the amendment to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as filed with the SEC on January 4, 2022, on December 29, 2021 after thorough consideration of all aspects of the Viston Offer, the advice provided by Haywood and consulting with its other advisors, the Board unanimously determined to recommend that Shareholders accept the Viston Offer and tender their Common Shares, for reasons that include the following:

 

Results of Strategic Review

 

Based on the results of the strategic review presented by Haywood, the Board believes that the ‎immediate cash value offered to Shareholders under the Viston Offer is more favorable to Shareholders ‎than the potential value that might otherwise result from other alternatives reasonably available to ‎Petroteq, including remaining as a stand-alone entity and pursuing Petroteq’s existing strategy, in each case ‎taking into consideration the potential rewards, risks, timelines and uncertainties associated with those ‎other alternatives.

 

Premium Over Market Price

 

The consideration of ‎C$0.74 ‎in cash per Common Share (the “Cash Consideration”) under the Viston Offer represents a premium of ‎approximately 279% over the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on August 6, 2021, being the last trading day that the Common Shares were traded on the T‎SXV.

 

Unlikelihood of Superior Proposal

 

The Board, with ‎the assistance of Haywood, has taken active steps to assess and solicit strategic ‎alternatives and has attempted to secure a proposal that would be superior to the Viston Offer. However, no superior ‎alternative to the Viston Offer has emerged and Petroteq does not expect a superior alternative to emerge ‎in the near term.

 

Common Shares Remain Relatively Illiquid

 

Trading in the Common Shares on the TSXV remains suspended, and there is no certainty as to when ‎‎the TSXV will resume trading in the Common Shares.

 

Certainty of Outcome

 

The Viston Offer provides 100% cash consideration for the Common Shares and offers Shareholders certainty ‎‎of value and immediate liquidity‎.‎

 

Possible Decline in Market Price

 

If the Viston Offer is not successful and another alternative offer with superior financial terms does not emerge, the market price of the Common Shares in the public markets may decline significantly.

 

Reduces Inherent Business Risk

 

Based on the strategic review conducted with Haywood, the Viston Offer appears to provide Shareholders ‎with the value inherent in Petroteq’s portfolio of projects, assuming they are fully realized, without the ‎long-term risks associated with the development and execution of those projects. Given the relatively early ‎stage of Petroteq’s projects, it will be several years before the projects in Petroteq’s portfolio reach ‎commercial production, if at all‎.

 

Significant Growth Funding Required

 

Petroteq’s projects have significant funding requirements to prove and scale its technology. Petroteq currently has limited cash to fund its necessary capital projects and near-term debt maturities, which will be a further drain on cash. Equity financing sufficient to repay debt and fund the progress of Petroteq’s business plan, if available, may be significantly dilutive to Shareholders.

Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals

 

Petroteq has not entered into a support or similar agreement with Viston in respect to the Viston Offer. The Board has reserved the ability to seek out or respond to proposals that may deliver greater value to Shareholders than the Viston Offer. There is nothing to prevent a third party from proposing or making a superior proposal or preclude Petroteq from changing its recommendation.

 

Exercise of warrants

 

In terms of warrant exercise notices received from various investors, warrants exercisable for 39,254,502 common shares were exercised between January 6, 2022 and January 18, 2022, for gross proceeds of $3,929,012 at exercise prices ranging from $0.0562 to $0.12 per share. A portion of the proceeds on the warrants issued was used to repay principal on convertible debt due of $753,500 and $46,075 of interest thereon and a further $180,000 of consulting fees, for net proceeds of $2,949,437.

 

Other than disclosed above, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, other than disclosed above, the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. 

 

26.SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

 

Supplemental unaudited information regarding the Company’s oil and gas activities is presented in this note.

 

The Company has not commenced commercial operations, therefore the disclosure of the results of operations of hydrocarbon activities is limited. All expenditure incurred to date is capitalized as part of the development cost of the company’s oil extraction plant.

 

The Company does not have any historical data to forecast the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proven hydrocarbon reserve quantities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein and the consolidated financial statements and the other information set forth in our amended annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2021. In addition to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Overview and recent developments

 

Our Company is a holding Company organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada, that is engaged in various aspects of the oil and gas industry. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Petroteq Energy CA Inc., a California corporation (“PCA”) and PCA’s two subsidiaries Petroteq Oil Recovery, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“POR”) and TMC Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“TMC Capital”), we are in the business of exploring for, extracting and producing oil and hydrocarbon products from oil sands deposits and sediments located in the Asphalt Ridge area of Uintah County, Utah, utilizing our proprietary extraction technology (the “Petroteq Clean Oil Recovery Technology” or “Extraction Technology”). Our primary oil sands extraction and processing operations are conducted at our Asphalt Ridge processing facility (herein the “Asphalt Ridge Plant” or “Plant”), which is owned by POR.

 

Petroteq owns the intellectual property rights to the Petroteq Clean Oil Recovery Technology which is used at our Asphalt Ridge Plant to extract and produce crude oil from oil sands utilizing a closed-loop solvent based extraction system.

 

The Asphalt Ridge Plant initially commenced operations as a pilot plant in 2015 at a site near Maeser, Utah, but was relocated in 2017 to a site near our Asphalt Ridge Mine #1 located on lands a Mining and Mineral Lease Agreement dated as of July 1, 2013, between Asphalt Ridge, Inc., as lessor, and TMC, as lessee, (the “TMC Mineral Lease”). The relocation of the Plant near our existing mine site was designed to improve logistical and processing efficiencies in the oil sands recovery process. The relocation of the Plant occurred during a temporary suspension of our mining and processing operations in 2016 that resulted from a sharp decline in world oil prices. We restarted operations at the end of May 2018 and completed expansion work on the Plant to increase production capacity to 400-500 barrels of oil per day during the last quarter of fiscal 2019 (the quarter ended August 31, 2019). During our testing of the Plant and its increased production capacity during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (the quarter ending November 30, 2019), we determined that a number of equipment upgrades were required to support continuous operation of the Plant. As discussed below, these upgrades were completed in December 2020.

 

We had expected to generate revenue from the sale of hydrocarbon products from the Asphalt Ridge Plant commencing in the third quarter ending May 31, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility in oil prices, we reduced operations to a single shift per day during the quarter ending February 29, 2020 and ultimately suspended operations at the Plant during the quarter ending May 31, 2020.

 

In July 2020, Greenfield Energy LLC (“Greenfield”), a joint venture company formed by TomCo Energy PLC, a UK energy company, and Valkor LLC (“Valkor”), a Texas limited liability company, assumed the management and operation of the Asphalt Ridge Plant. Under a Technology License Agreement dated July 2, 2019, Petroteq granted to Valkor a non-exclusive license and right to use Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology in operations conducted at the Plant. Since July 2020, Greenfield has implemented various upgrades to the Plant to improve operating capacity and reliability and began testing to assess the commerciality of the Plant and Petroteq’s proprietary technology. To improve operational capability during winter months, Greenfield also arranged for buildings to be erected over the nitrogen system and the vapor recovery system and for wind-walls were erected at the mixing tank area and decanter deck at the Plant.

Following the startup of the Plant in January 2021, we determined that certain additional equipment would be required to improve the process of extracting bitumen from oil sands ore and the removal of clay fines from produced oil. The additional equipment was required to transition the plant to commercialization and to demonstrate the commerciality of both the Plant and Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology. The required equipment was installed and commissioned and the Plant was restarted in April 2021. 

 

The first full load of oil produced by the Plant was sold in June 2021 by Valkor. The production and sale of the first load of oil from the Plant following a series of upgrades was an important milestone as it demonstrated that heavy oil from Utah oil sands can be produced economically using Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology without the use of water and without any requirement for a tailings pond. The buyer paid West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”) benchmark pricing of $70.91 per barrel for the 10.2° API heavy sweet crude oil produced by the Plant. The fact that we received WTI pricing for the oil produced by the Plant demonstrates that the heavy sweet (low sulfur) oil produced from Utah’s oil sands in the Asphalt Ridge area will likely command a premium price relative to other heavy oils.

 

In July 2021, Crosstrails Engineering LLC completed a Front End Engineering Design (the “2021 FEED”) for a 5,000 barrel per day (“BPD”) production train that could be constructed either at the site of the Asphalt Ridge Plant or as a separate oil sands processing facility at an undeveloped site. The 2021 FEED describes the design data, design requirements, detailed major equipment requirement, and general operating philosophies for the development of a 5,000 BPD production train, including a Class 3 (± 25%) cost estimate of approximately $110 million for construction of a new commercial plant as a separate facility. The cost estimates in the 2021 FEED suggest a capital cost of $22,000 per daily barrel of production. A new oil sands processing facility based on the 2021 FEED will consist of an initial 5,000 BPD production train but provides for a possible future expansion to 10,000 BPD through the addition of a second parallel 5,000 BPD train. The capital cost of $22,000 per daily barrel for an initial 5,000 BPD production train installed either as an adjunct to the existing Asphalt Ridge Plant or as a separate processing facility on an undeveloped site compares very favorably with the construction costs of plants and facilities that deploy more traditional methods of extracting bitumen and heavy oil from oil sands.

 

Preliminary estimates for the longest lead time for procuring equipment for a new 5,000 BPD production train under the 2021 FEED are approximately 48-54 weeks. The overall engineering, procurement and construction of a 5,000 BPD plant are estimated to require 54-62 weeks, barring any significant supply chain upsets or adverse weather conditions during construction and commissioning of the plant. Once constructed and operating, it is estimated that each production train will employ 40-50 persons between mining and plant operations.

 

Petroteq anticipates that the 2021 FEED may provide the basis for a standard design package for 5,000 BPD production trains constructed by Petroteq or by its technology licensees in Utah and in other parts of the United States and other countries having oil sands and other structures holding substantial bitumen and heavy oil resources. Any standard design package developed from the 2021 Feed may require a certain amount of customization for local site conditions and ore characteristics, but the differences are not expected to be significant.

 

After the April 2021 restart, the Asphalt Ridge Plant was operated intermittently until August 2021, when operations were suspended to allow the Company and its engineering firms to conduct a detailed inspection of the Plant for the purpose of determining whether the Plant’s equipment, and the configuration of its units, would permit the integration or auxiliary construction of a new 5,000 BPD production training based on the 2021 FEED. During this period, exploratory core sampling and testing was conducted of the oil sands resources at Asphalt Mine #1.

 

Based on the inspections of the Plant’s units and equipment and evaluations of core data taken from areas at and around Asphalt Ridge Mine #1, the Company preliminarily decided, subject to further study and evaluation, to (a) construct a separate 5,000 BPD oil sands processing plant, with the option of adding a second 5,000 BPD production train, on an undeveloped site in the Asphalt Ridge area (and not as an expansion to the existing Plant), (b) continue to operate the Asphalt Ridge Plant where economic conditions support commercial operations, and (c) to augment the supply of oil sands ore from Asphalt Mine #1 as feedstock for the Plant to higher quality oil sands ores and sediments mined or produced from other leases and properties in the Asphalt Ridge area.

 

2

 

 

In September 2021, we initiated discussions with Valkor for the purpose of developing a long term oil sands ore supply contract with Greenfield for the purchase of oil sands ores produced from mineral leases held or managed by Greenfield in the Asphalt Ridge Northwest area.

 

The Plant is currently in a winterized shut-down, although it may be restarted and operated upon short notice for demonstration purposes, and for the purpose of testing and evaluating different oil sands ores and materials sources from different leases and properties in the Asphalt Ridge area. We currently anticipate that the Plant will resume processing and production operations in February-March 2022. Upon resuming operations, the Plant will be operated primarily for the purpose of processing oil sands ores and bituminous sands sourced from both Asphalt Mine #1 and from Asphalt Ridge leases held or managed by Greenfield or Valkor, and potentially from other sources in the Asphalt Ridge area. The Plant will also be used for demonstration purposes for potential investors and prospective technology licensees and for the purpose of testing and evaluating oil sands and heavy oil source material produced from areas within the Uintah Basin in Utah and in other regions of the United States and other countries as such materials are made available to us.

 

Research and Development

 

The Asphalt Ridge Plant has proved that Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology, including our redesigned extraction and production process, is capable of producing oil in marketable quantities and that a substantial portion of the “post processed” sand generated by our extraction and production operations may be sold for various uses. Petroteq continued to test ore from various oil sands deposits and resources in the Asphalt Ridge area of Utah, with varying degrees of oil quality and with oil saturations in the range of 5 to 10 percent by weight. Petroteq’s proprietary technology and extraction process has been successful in extracting oil from the different oil sands ores that we have tested, confirming that our oil extraction technology can accommodate a wide range of ore specifications.

 

During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2021, we engaged Kahuna Ventures LLC, an energy-focused project execution firm, to review the POSP operating data, process simulation data, and our 5,000 BPD FEED study. The technical evaluation conducted by Kahuna Ventures indicated extraction costs of approximately $13.50 per barrel of oil produced. With mining and ore transport costs adding another $8.50 per barrel, this suggests an estimated operating cost of approximately $22 per barrel of oil produced (prior to adjustment for corporate overhead, production related taxes and royalties). The estimated operating cost of $22 per produced barrel of oil does not take into account the reduction in net operating costs that may result from the sale of commercial marketable sand generated during our extraction and production operations, which we estimate could reduce our net operating costs, measured on a per barrel of oil produced basis, by as much as $10-15 per barrel.

 

Several barrels of produced oil from the Asphalt Ridge Plant have now been tested by Quadrise Fuels International plc in the United Kingdom for the purpose of assessing the suitability of the heavy sweet oil produced by the POSP for their MSAR® technology. MSAR® is a low viscosity oil-in-water emulsified synthetic heavy fuel oil (“HFO”). It is manufactured using Quadrise’s proprietary technology to mix heavy oils with small amounts of specialist chemicals and water to a bespoke formulation. According to Quadrise, the resulting emulsion contains approximately 30% water and less than 1% chemicals. The emulsion is a low viscosity liquid at room temperature, which makes it easier to handle and reduces the heating costs for storing, transportation and use in comparison to HFOs.

 

In September 2021, Quadrise reported that the testing program, which was completed at the Quadrise Research Facility (“QRF”) in Essex, in the United Kingdom, confirmed the ability to produce commercial MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuels from the sample of heavy sweet oil provided by Greenfield from the POSP and that a report of the testing results has been issued to the client.  Simulations of storage and handling of both MSAR® and bioMSAR™ produced were also completed during the program, which indicated that commercial production of MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuels would be possible in Utah for potential power and marine end-user applications domestically and internationally. Quadrise further noted that this testing concluded the proof-of-concept work that was scheduled in Phase 1 of the Commercial Trial Agreement between Greenfield and Quadrise announced on August 18, 2020. Quadrise recently reported that Greenfield and Quadrise have entered into discussions regarding potential future trials and deployment of the technology to produce MSAR® and/or bioMSAR™ fuel at a commercial scale.

Petroteq continues to work with a local drilling fluids company to identify customers for the commercially marketable sand generated from the Asphalt Ridge Plant for use in oil and gas hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” operations. The fluids company has to date taken 340 tons of sand and it is expected that it will take the additional processed sand currently available, together with additional quantities of sand as and when they are produced at the Plant. The proceeds from the sale of sand are expected to be approximately $15-20 per ton ($10-15 per barrel).

 

As announced by Petroteq on November 17, 2020, Greenfield has executed a non-exclusive, multi-site license with Petroteq (the “Greenfield License”). The Greenfield License has been granted in consideration for $2,000,000 in funding that Greenfield has provided to date for upgrades to the Asphalt Ridge Plant. The Greenfield License will allow Greenfield to use Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology in any future oil sands processing plants built by Greenfield in the United States. The Greenfield License provides that the ownership of any intellectual property developed as a result of upgrades to or operations conducted at the POSP, including associated trials and testing, will be owned by Petroteq. At the same time, any such intellectual property, including any oil sands technologies developed by Petroteq, will be included within the scope of the Greenfield License and may be used by Greenfield under the terms of the license.

 

For any future oil sands plants built by Greenfield utilizing the Greenfield License, Greenfield will pay Petroteq a 5% royalty of net revenues received from crude oil and other hydrocarbon products produced from oil sand resources.

 

In October 2021, Petroteq and Big Sky Resources LLC (“Big Sky”), a company based in Rye, New York, entered into a technology license agreement under which Petroteq granted to Big Sky a non-exclusive, non-transferable license and right to use Petroteq’s proprietary ‎technology to design, construct, operate and finance oil sands extraction plants ‎at up to two locations in the continental United States. Under the agreement, ‎Big Sky has agreed to pay Petroteq a one-time, non-refundable license fee of ‎$2 million, which will become payable upon commencing construction of its first ‎plant. The agreement further provides that Big Sky will pay Petroteq a 5% royalty on the net revenue received by Big Sky from the ‎production, sale or other disposition of licensed product from the plants for as long as Petroteq continues to hold enforceable and protected intellectual ‎property rights in the licensed technology in the United States.‎

 

Pursuant to the licensing agreement, Big Sky is obligated to engage Valkor (or an affiliate named by Valkor) as ‎the sole and exclusive provider of engineering, planning, and construction ‎services for all oil sands plants built by Big Sky or under its direction. Big Sky has indicated it will work closely with Valkor to identify ‎plant locations in the State of Utah.

 

ASPHALT RIDGE PROCESSING PLANT 

 

In June 2011, Petroteq commenced the development of the Asphalt Ridge Plant at a site near Maeser, Utah and entered into construction and equipment fabrication contracts for the purpose of evaluating Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology in extracting, processing and producing crude oil from oil sands mined from the TMC Mineral Lease and from other deposits located in the Asphalt Ridge area of Utah. By January 2014, our initial processing facility, designed as a pilot plant having processing capacity of 250 barrels per day, was fully permitted and construction was completed by October 1, 2014. Operations conducted at the pilot plant during 2015 allowed us to test and evaluate our proprietary technology at or near the Plant’s capacity. During 2015, the Plant produced approximately 10,000 (gross) barrels of oil from the local oil sands ores, including oil sands deposits located within our TMC Mineral Lease. From this production, 7,777.33 barrels of finished crude oil were sold to an oil and gas distributor for resale to its refinery customers, with the balance of the produced oil used internally to power generators for the Plant. The initial processing plant was flexible in that it had the ability to produce both high quality heavy crude oil as well as lighter oil if needed.

 

In 2015, with the sharp decline in world oil prices, we determined that the transportation costs incurred in hauling mined ore from our mine site to pilot processing facility, a distance of approximately 17 miles, were adversely affecting the economics of our processing operations. For that reason, we temporarily suspended operations in 2016, and, in 2017, the Plant was disassembled and moved from its original location to the site of our Temple Mountain mining site (referred to as Asphalt Ridge Mine #1) located within the TMC Mineral Lease. During the reassembly of the Plant, additional equipment was installed to increase the Plant’s capacity from 250 barrels per day to 400-500 barrels per day. In May 2018, mining operations at Asphalt Ridge Mine #1 recommenced, and the new upgraded Asphalt Ridge Plant commenced a test production phase of heavy crude oil from oil sands deposits at this site. Work to increase the Plant’s capacity to 400-500 barrels per day was completed during the last quarter of fiscal 2019 (the quarter ended August 31, 2019). Testing, which continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (the quarter ended November 30, 2019), determined that a number of equipment upgrades were required to support continuous operation of the Plant.

Greenfield, a joint venture company established by TomCo and Valkor, assumed responsibility for the management and operations of our Asphalt Ridge Plant in July 2020. Greenfield has made certain upgrades to the Plant to improve its capacity and reliability. During the ensuing year, we anticipate that the Plant will be operated for the purpose of (a) extracting, processing and producing crude oil and other hydrocarbon products from oil sands ores supplied by our Asphalt Mine #1, from Greenfield and potentially from other sources and properties located in the Asphalt Ridge area, (b) evaluating and testing oil sands from varying sources that are impregnated with oils having different qualities and characteristics, and (c) demonstrating the capabilities of Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology to potential investors and prospective licensees. Recent budgets for the Plant prepared by Valkor estimate that, during the ensuing year, the Plant will require approximately $3.8 million in capital expenditures and operating expenses, and should be able to generate revenue in the range of $4 million.

 

RESOURCES AND MINING OPERATIONS

 

Through its acquisition of TMC Capital in June 2015, Petroteq indirectly acquired certain mineral rights under the TMC Mineral Lease, which encompassed approximately 1,229.82 acres of land in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge in Uintah County, Utah. In June 2018, Petroteq, acting through POR, acquired the record lease title and all of the operating rights to produce oil from oil sands resources under two mineral leases entitled “Utah State Mineral Lease for Bituminous-Asphaltic Sands”, each dated June 1, 2018, between the State of Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (“SITLA”), as lessor, and POR, as lessee, covering lands consisting of approximately 1,351.91 acres that largely adjoin the lands covered by the TMC Mineral Lease (“the Temple Mountain SITLA Leases”). In March 2019, a third SITLA Lease was acquired by Petroteq that added 39.97 acres to the mix in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge.

 

In April 2019 and in July 2019, in two separate transactions, TMC Capital acquired an initial 50% and then the remaining 50% of the oil sands operating rights under five (5) federal (U.S.) oil and gas leases administered by the (U.S.) Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), covering lands located in eastern and south-eastern Utah (“BLM Leases”). The BLM Leases have been included in applications, filed decades ago with the BLM under the (U.S.) Combined Hydrocarbon Lease Act of 1981, for conversion to new “Combined Hydrocarbon Leases” that will eventually allow the development of oil sands resources in the federal lands included within the BLM Leases and in surrounding areas,

 

As described in more detail below, the TMC Mineral Lease in its original form was terminated effective August 10, 2020, and a new Short-Term Mining Lease, dated the same date, was entered into between Asphalt Ridge, Inc., as lessor, and Valkor, as lessee. Valkor and TMC Capital thereafter entered into a Short-Term Mining and Mineral Sublease dated August 20, 2020 (the “TMC Mineral Sublease”) in which all of Valkor’s rights and interests under the Short-Term Mining Lease were subleased to TMC Capital. As of November 30, 2021, Petroteq (through its subsidiaries) held mineral leases (or the operating rights under leases) covering approximately 7,631.91 net acres within the State of Utah, consisting of approximately 320 acres held under the TMC Mineral Sublease, 1,351.91 acres held under the Temple Mountain SITLA Leases, and 5,960 acres under the BLM Leases.

 

Between March 14, 2019 and May 31, 2020, we made cash deposits of $1,907,000, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets for the acquisition of 100% of the operating rights under U.S. federal oil and gas leases, administered by the BLM in Garfield and Wayne Counties, covering approximately 8,480 gross acres in P.R. Springs and the Tar Sands Triangle within the State of Utah. The total consideration of $3,000,000 has been partially settled by the $1,907,000 cash deposit, with the balance of $1,093,000 still outstanding. 

 

In a letter agreement dated April 17, 2020 between the transferor of the oil and gas leases and TMC Capital, as transferee, the parties, due to uncertainty as to whether all of the 10 leases for which the Company had initially paid deposits would be considered active by BLM and included in new Combined Hydrocarbon Leases (CHLs) under the Combined Hydrocarbon Act of 1981 - agreed to adjust the purchase price as follows: (a) should all 10 of the leases be available and included in CHL’s, the Company will pay the additional $1,093,000 for the rights under the leases; (b) if only a portion of the leases ranging from 4 to 9 of the leases are available and included in CHL’s, the final purchase price of the leases will be between $1.5 million and $2.5 million; and (c) notwithstanding the above, if after a period of 7 years from April 17, 2020, at least six of the leases are not determined to be active and are not included in CHLs the Company shall be entitled to demand a refund of $1.2 million or instruct the Seller to acquire other leases in the same area for up to $1.2 million.

Suspension of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”)

 

On August 6, 2021, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order (the “CTO”) against the Company, as a result of its failure to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q (and related certifications) for the period ended May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Q3 Filings”) on or before July 30, 2021, as required under Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

 

The Company filed the 2021 Q3 Filings with the Canadian Securities Commission on SEDAR, and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on EDGAR, on August 19, 2021. As a result, the Ontario Securities Commission revoked the CTO effective August 24, 2021. In addition, on August 19, 2021, the Company’s amended financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis ‎for the eight quarters from May 31, 2019 to February 28, 2021 were filed on SEDAR and with the SEC, as contained in the Company’s amended annual reports on Form 10-K/A for the financial years ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2020, and in the Company’s amended quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A for the periods ended May 31, 2019, November 30, 2019, February 29, 2020, May 31, 2020, November 30, 2020 and February 28, 2021. The Company’s amended financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the period ended February 28, 2019 were filed on SEDAR on August 23, 2021, and with the SEC on August 25, 2021, as exhibits to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K.

 

As a result of the issuance of the CTO on August 6, 2021, the TSXV suspended trading of the Company’s Common Shares. As part of the TSXV’s review of the Company’s reinstatement application, the TSXV reviewed the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2021 and raised concerns that certain transactions may not have been submitted to the TSXV for approval, as required under the TSXV’s policies. As a result of an internal investigation the Company identified several transactions (the “Transactions”) which, although disclosed in the Company’s public filings on SEDAR and EDGAR had not been submitted for approval by the TSXV.

 

Based on the Company’s initial review of the Transactions, it is estimated that a total of 54,370,814 Common Shares were issued as a result of the Transactions.‎ While some of the issued Common Shares, namely, 4,336,972, are estimated to have been issued at prices above what the TSXV ‎would have otherwise approved, 50,033,842 are estimated to have been issued at share prices below what the TSXV ‎generally approves for convertible securities.‎ While the Company is now making the necessary submissions to the TSXV for the Transactions, they may not all be accepted for approval by the TSXV and as a condition to reinstatement of trading on the TSXV the Company may need to take remedial action to ensure that Transactions are in compliance with the TSXV.

 

The net proceeds of the Transactions that resulted in new funds to the Company were used for expansion of the Company’s oil sands processing plant in Utah and for working capital.‎

 

The Company continues to work with the TSXV on a reinstatement of trading and will update the market as developments warrant. However, the TSXV has indicated that these matters and their review of the Transactions may take some time to resolve and that a reinstatement to trading is not expected in the near term.

  

Unsolicited takeover bid by Viston United Swiss AG

 

On October 27, 2021, 2869889 Ontario Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Viston United Swiss AG commenced a conditional, unsolicited takeover bid (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Viston filed a Tender Offer Statement with the SEC relating to the Offer on Schedule TO under section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on October 25, 2021, and an amendment to the Tender Offer Statement on October 27, 2021. As set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 under section 14(d)(4) of the Exchange Act filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021, shareholders were advised that the Board of Directors was not yet in a position to make a recommendation to shareholders to accept or reject the Offer, and that the Company has retained Haywood Securities Inc. as financial advisor to the Company and the Board of Directors.

 

As set forth in the amendment to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as filed with the SEC on January 4, 2022, on December 29, 2021, after thorough consideration of all aspects of the Viston Offer, the advice provided by Haywood and consulting with its other advisors, the Board has unanimously determined to recommend that Shareholders accept the Viston Offer and tender their Common Shares, for reasons that include the following:

 

Results of Strategic Review

 

Based on the results of the strategic review presented by Haywood, the Board believes that the ‎immediate cash value offered to Shareholders under the Viston Offer is more favorable to Shareholders ‎than the potential value that might otherwise result from other alternatives reasonably available to ‎Petroteq, including remaining as a stand-alone entity and pursuing Petroteq’s existing strategy, in each case ‎taking into consideration the potential rewards, risks, timelines and uncertainties associated with those ‎other alternatives.

 

6

 

 

Premium Over Market Price

 

The consideration of ‎C$0.74 ‎in cash per Common Share (the “Cash Consideration”) under the Viston Offer represents a premium of ‎approximately 279% over the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on August 6, 2021, being the last trading day that the Common Shares were traded on the T‎SXV.

 

Unlikelihood of Superior Proposal

 

The Board, with ‎the assistance of Haywood, has taken active steps to assess and solicit strategic ‎alternatives and has attempted to secure a proposal that would be superior to the Viston Offer. However, no superior ‎alternative to the Viston Offer has emerged and Petroteq does not expect a superior alternative to emerge ‎in the near term.

 

Common Shares Remain Relatively Illiquid

 

Trading in the Common Shares on the TSXV remains suspended, and there is no certainty as to when ‎‎the TSXV will resume trading in the Common Shares.

 

Certainty of Outcome

 

The Viston Offer provides 100% cash consideration for the Common Shares and offers Shareholders certainty ‎‎of value and immediate liquidity‎.‎

 

Possible Decline in Market Price

 

If the Viston Offer is not successful and another alternative offer with superior financial terms does not emerge, the market price of the Common Shares in the public markets may decline significantly.

 

Reduces Inherent Business Risk

 

Based on the strategic review conducted with Haywood, the Viston Offer appears to provide Shareholders ‎with the value inherent in Petroteq’s portfolio of projects, assuming they are fully realized, without the ‎long-term risks associated with the development and execution of those projects. Given the relatively early ‎stage of Petroteq’s projects, it will be several years before the projects in Petroteq’s portfolio reach ‎commercial production, if at all‎.

 

Significant Growth Funding Required

 

Petroteq’s projects have significant funding requirements to prove and scale its technology. Petroteq currently has limited cash to fund its necessary capital projects and near-term debt maturities, which will be a further drain on cash. Equity financing sufficient to repay debt and fund the progress of Petroteq’s business plan, if available, may be significantly dilutive to Shareholders.

 

Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals

 

Petroteq has not entered into a support or similar agreement with Viston in respect to the Viston Offer. The Board has reserved the ability to seek out or respond to proposals that may deliver greater value to Shareholders than the Viston Offer. There is nothing to prevent a third party from proposing or making a superior proposal or preclude Petroteq from changing its recommendation.

 

Other than disclosed above, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, other than disclosed above, we did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. 

  

Exchange of mineral leases

 

Under the terms of an agreement dated October 15, 2021 among POR and TMC Capital and Valkor (the “Exchange Agreement”), POR and TMC Capital agreed to assign to Valkor all of their respective rights and interests in the TMC Mineral Lease located near Temple Mountain in the Asphalt Ridge area of Uintah County, Utah, including interests under a sublease to a Short-Term Mining Lease obtained by Valkor in August 2020, and in three Utah state oil sands leases that are contiguous to or in close proximity to the lands encompassed by the TMC Mineral Lease.

 

In a separate agreement, Valkor granted to provide TMC Capital the right to participate, at up to a 50% working interest, in any future operations conducted by Valkor under the TMC Mineral Lease or the Short-Term Mining Lease held by Valkor covering acreage formerly included in the TMC Mineral Lease, or on any of the lands covered by either of the leases.

To complete the exchange under the Exchange Agreement, Valkor agreed to assign to TMC Capital all of its rights and interests in three Utah state oil sands leases located in Uintah County, Utah, in an area referred to as Asphalt Ridge Northwest (the “Asphalt Ridge NW Leases”), including the “record lease title” and all of the operating rights (i.e. working interests) under the leases.

 

In a separate agreement, TMC Capital agreed to assign to Valkor the operating rights under the three Asphalt Ridge NW Leases at subsurface depths below 500 feet, with TMC Capital retaining a right to participate, at up to a 50% working interest, in any operation conducted by Valkor at the deeper intervals.  Under this agreement, each party will have the right to participate, at up to a 50% joint ownership basis, in any new oil sands processing plant constructed on lands covered by the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases.

 

As of October 28, 2021, each of the agreements and assignments required to consummate the reciprocal assignment of leases between the Company’s subsidiaries and Valkor has been executed and all of the transactions have been tentatively completed, subject to the approvals that must be obtained from the State of Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (“SITLA”). 

  

The exchange of mineral properties between the Company’s subsidiaries and Valkor – which, upon completion will result in the Company’s acquisition of record title and all interests under the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases – is anticipated to create substantial benefits and opportunities for the Company, including:

 

  (a) The Asphalt Ridge NW leases contain an oil sands deposit that is contiguous within a single contained area. This will allow for greater efficiencies in mining and in ore transport operations. By contrast, the original TMC Mineral Lease in the Temple Mountain area of Asphalt Ridge encompasses three separate deposits running along a trend over about 8 miles, a structural outlay requiring substantial development and transport costs.
     
  (b) Based on historical well data from deposits adjacent to and surrounding the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases, the oil content or saturation in the deposit of oil sands within the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases is expected to average in the range of 12% by weight. In contrast, the oil sands ores mined or produced from lands within the TMC Mineral Lease in the Temple Mountain area have an average oil content or saturation in the range of 6% by weight. The higher oil content in the oil sands deposit located within the Asphalt NW Leases should provide for better yields per ton of bulk oil sand processed and improved project economics for a 5,000 barrel per day commercial plant that is being considered by the Company in this area.
     
  (c) Because a substantial part of the oil sands deposit within the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases is close to the surface and extends into various outcroppings, extraction and production may be conducted by surface mining where  less overburden will need to be removed before initiating mining operations.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and the three months ended November 30, 2020

 

Net Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Loss

 

There has been no sale of hydrocarbon products during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

During the prior period, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Valkor whereby Valkor paid $2,000,000 for a non-exclusive license to the Oil Sands Recovery Technology, the Company has no obligation to delivery any technology or know-how on an ongoing basis to Valkor, therefore the revenue is recognizable immediately.

 

The cost of sales during the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020 are minimal. The cost of sales consists of certain production related expenses consisting of labor and maintenance expenditure.

Expenses

 

Expenses were $2,260,295 and $2,065,228 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $195,067 or 9.4%. The increase in expenses is primarily due to:

 

Depletion, depreciation and amortization

 

Depletion, depreciation and amortization was $11,382 and $11,523 for the three months ended November30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $138 or 1.2%. This amount is immaterial.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses was $1,393,754 and $1,044,857 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $348,897 or 33.4%. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are the following major expenses:

 

a.Professional fees was $646,276 and $399,129 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $247,147. The increase includes a once off fee of $120,000 to relocate some equipment and an increase in audit related fees of $123,652 related to the timing of invoices received for previous audits completed.

 

  b. Travel and promotional fees was $83,331 and $83,464 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $133, the decrease is immaterial.
     
  c. Salaries and wages was $156,026 and $87,936 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $68,090. The increase is primarily due to salaries paid to administrative functions.
     
  d. Research and development expense was $175,025 and $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company invested $175,025 in a research project to determine the feasibility of applying its technology to recoverin g oil from roofing shingles.
     
  d. General and administrative expenses was $286,948 ad $234,696 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $52,252. The increase is made up of several individually immaterial expenses.

 

Financing costs

 

Financing costs was $626,018 and $621,387 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $4,631. Financing costs includes; (i) interest expense of $250,964 and $287,639 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $36,675 is attributable to the decrease in debt and convertible debt outstanding over the prior fiscal period; (ii) amortization of debt discount of $375,054 and $333,748 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $41,306, primarily due to the amortization of debt discount on longer term Petroleum Capital Funding convertible notes, including a $3,000,000 note entered into in July 2021.

 

Other expense (income), net

 

Other expense was $281,561 and $544,459 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $262,898. We realized (i) a loss on debt extinguishment of $444,398 and $330,256, in the current period we renegotiated the conversion terms of several convertible notes to comply with exchange requirements and in the prior period we renegotiated the maturity date and conversion prices of several convertible notes; (ii) a federal relief loan of $133,890 was forgiven during the current period, resulting in a gain to the company; (iii) in the prior period we realized a loss on the settlement of liabilities and conversion of convertible debt of $134,490 and $80,661, respectively.

 

Mark to market of derivative liability

 

The mark to market of the derivative liability was $(52,420) and $(156,998) for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The derivative liability arose due to the issuance of convertible securities with variable conversion prices and no floor conversion price. The charge during the current period represents the mark-to-market of the derivative liability prior to the change of the terms on the convertible debt, thereby extinguishing the need for a derivative liability.

 

9

 

 

Net loss before income taxes and Net loss and Comprehensive loss

 

Net loss before income taxes was $2,545,248 and $410,514 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $2,134,734 or 520.0%. The increase is primarily due to the $2,000,000 technology license fee and an overall increase in operating expenses, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at November 30, 2021, we had cash of approximately $68,662. We also had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,979,405, due primarily to accounts payable, short term debt, convertible debentures and accrued interest thereon which remain outstanding as of November 30, 2021. During the three months ended November 30, 2021, we raised $499,970 from restitution payments . These funds were primarily used on to fund the working capital requirements of the business.

 

We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, a substantial amount of funds in connection with implementing our business strategy and do not have sufficient cash on hand to implement our business strategy. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we are a going concern. To date, we have generated minimal revenue from operations and have financed our operations primarily through sales of our securities, and we expect to continue to seek to obtain our required capital in a similar manner. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating costs and general and administrative expense or continue to raise funds through the sale of debt. If we raise funds by securities convertible into common shares, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We anticipate that if the unsolicited offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Petroteq is not successful that we will need to raise approximately $110 million to fund a commercially viable extraction plant. Alternatively we will license our technology and generate royalty revenues.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

In addition to commitments otherwise reported in this MD&A, the Company’s contractual obligations as at November 30, 2021, include:

Legal Matters

 

On December 27, 2018, the Company executed and delivered: (i) a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Redline Capital Management S.A. (“Redline”) and Momentum Asset Partners II, LLC; (ii) a secured promissory note payable to Redline in the principal amount of $6,000,000 (the “Note”) with a maturity date of 27 December 2020, bearing interest at 10% per annum; and (iii) a Security Agreement (together with the Settlement Agreement and the Note, the “Redline Agreements”) among the Company, Redline, and TMC Capital, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

After undertaking an in-depth analysis of the Redline Agreements in the context of the underlying transactions and events, special legal counsel to the Company has opined that the Redline Agreements are likely void and unenforceable.

 

The Company’s special legal counsel regards the possibility of Redline’s success in pursuing any claims against the Company or TMC Capital under the Redline Agreements as less than reasonably possible and therefore no provision has been raised against these claims.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the options and remedies that are available to it to ensure that the Redline Agreements are declared as void or are rescinded and extinguished.

 

The Company has various commitments including those disclosed under Commitments in note 24 to the financial statements, in addition the Company has commitments to repay convertible notes and promissory notes as fully disclosed in notes 11 and 12 to the financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Subject to receipt of additional financing or revenue generated from operations, the Company intends to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2021. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on December 15, 2021.

 

We have suffered operating losses since inception and we may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

At November 30, 2021, August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $(102,683,840), $(100,138,592) and $(97,047,409), respectively and we expect to continue to incur increasing expenses in the foreseeable future as we develop our oil extraction business. We incurred a net loss of $(2,545,248) for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and $(9,474,243) and $(12,379,067) as of the years ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively.  As a result, we are sustaining substantial operating and net losses, and it is possible that we will never be able to sustain or develop the revenue levels necessary to attain profitability.

 

Our ability to be profitable will depend in part upon our ability to manage our operating costs and to generate revenue from our extraction operations. Operating costs could be impacted by inflationary pressures on labor, volatile pricing for natural gas used as an energy source in transportation of fuel and in oil sands processes, and planned and unplanned maintenance.

 

We had concluded that certain of our previously issued financial statements should not be relied upon and have restated certain of our previously issued financial statements which was time-consuming and expensive and could expose us to additional risks that could have a negative effect on our Company.

 

We have concluded that certain of our previously issued financial statements should not be relied upon. We have restated our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures for the periods ended May 31, 2019 to February 28, 2021 and our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2020. We do not intend to restate our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018 which were included in our initial registration statement on Form 10 originally filed with the SEC on May 22, 2019, and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on June 24, 2019 and by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on July 5, 2019, and such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures should not be relied on. The restatement process was time consuming and expensive and, along with the failure to file our quarterly report on this Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2021 with the SEC in a timely manner, could expose us to additional risks that could have a negative effect on our Company. In particular, we incurred substantial unanticipated expenses and costs, including audit, legal and other professional fees, in connection with the restatement of our previously issued financial statements. Our management’s attention was also diverted from some aspects of the operation of our business in connection with the restatement.

The restatement of our financial statements may in the future lead to, among other things, future stockholder litigation, loss of investor confidence, negative impacts on our stock price and certain other risks.

 

There can be no assurance that litigation against the Company and/or its management or Board of Directors might not be threatened or brought in connection with matters related to our restatements. As a result of the circumstances giving rise to the restatements, we have become subject to certain additional risks and uncertainties, including unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatements, potential stockholder litigation, government investigations, and potential claims by Redline Capital Management S.A. as described under Part II, Item 1. – Legal Proceedings and elsewhere in this Amendment. Any such proceeding could result in substantial defense costs regardless of the outcome of the litigation or investigation. If we do not prevail in any such litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs. In addition, the restatements and related matters could impair our reputation and could cause our counterparties to lose confidence in us. Each of these occurrences could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

 

The failure to comply with the terms of our secured notes could result in a default under the terms of the note and, if uncured, it could potentially result in action against the pledged assets.

 

As of November 30, 2021, we had issued and outstanding promissory notes in the principal amount of $23,298 and convertible notes in the principal amount of $5,826,246 to certain private investors which have already matured or mature between December 2021 and July 2025, and are secured by a pledge of all of our assets.  If we fail to comply with the terms of the notes, the note holder could declare a default under the notes and if the default were to remain uncured, as secured creditors they would have the right to proceed against the collateral secured by the loans. Any action by secured creditors to proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our operations.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At November 30, 2021, we had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of ($102,683,840) since our inception and a working capital deficit of ($2,979,405), and expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred net losses for the past four years. The opinion of our independent registered accounting firm on our audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 draws attention to our notes to the financial statements, which describes certain material uncertainties regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management’s plan to address our ability to continue as a going concern includes (1) obtaining debt or equity funding from private placement or institutional sources, (2) obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible, or (3) participating in joint venture transactions with third parties. Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow us to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Issuances of common shares upon exercise or conversion of convertible securities, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans and outstanding share purchase warrants and convertible notes could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our share price to fall.

 

We currently have share purchase warrants to purchase 70,371,047 common shares outstanding at exercise prices ranging from US$0.05517 to US$0.35 and options to purchase 7,250,000 common shares with a weighted average exercise price of CDN $0.79 and notes convertible into an estimated 44,116,827 common shares based on conversion prices ranging from $0.055 to $0.18 per share and contractual obligations to issue a further 25,785,869 common shares. The issuance of the common shares underlying the share purchase warrants, options, convertible notes and contractual obligations will have a dilutive effect on the percentage ownership held by holders of our common shares.

Our ability to use our net operating losses and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

 

As of November 30, 2021, we had accumulated net operating losses (NOLs), of approximately CDN $91 million. Varying jurisdictional tax codes have restrictions on the use of NOLs, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs, R&D credits and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. An ownership change is generally defined as a greater than 50% change in equity ownership. Based upon an analysis of our equity ownership, we do not believe that we have experienced such ownership changes and therefore our annual utilization of our NOLs is not limited. However, should we experience additional ownership changes, our NOL carry forwards may be limited.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

There have been no unregistered sales of equity securities of our Company during the quarter ended November 30, 2021 that have not been previously disclosed.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.
