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.

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.

The assignment of the Temple Mountain SITLA leases by Petroteq’s subsidiaries to Valkor and Valkor’s assignment of the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases to TMC Capital are subject to approval by SITLA before the transactions are considered final.

Management and Operations

Under the terms of a Management and Operations Services Agreement (“Management Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Valkor dated November 22, 2020, effective May 1, 2020, Valkor will provide overall management and operations services at the oil sands recovery plant based in Utah. The agreement is for a period of one year and is renewable automatically for an additional four years unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the original or renewal term. The company will reimburse Valkor for all costs and expenses incurred, as defined in the agreement, plus a Personnel Management Fee of 12% of the personnel costs and expenses and an operations Management Fee of 5% of the operations costs and expenses.

Management and Operations (continued)

Valkor will provide the Company with quarterly production reports, including the following; (i) the quantity of oil bearing ore and sediments mined, extracted and produced from each of the leases and delivered to the plant; (ii) the quantity of oil products produced, saved and sold at the plant; (iii) the quantity of consumables purchased and used or consumed in operations and (iv) the gross proceeds derived from the sale of the oil products including applicable taxes and transportation costs incurred by Valkor.

Valkor will also provide quarterly operating reports detailing; (i) revenue received by Valkor from oil products sold; (ii) a detailed accounting of all costs and expenses; (iii) the operations Management fee and the Personnel Management fee earned during the quarter.

Valkor will also prepare quarterly Royalty Reports to be delivered to a third party to calculate royalties payable to the holders of royalty interests under various mineral rights leases.

On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Greenfield Energy, LLC (“Greenfield”), whereby the Company grants to Greenfield a non-exclusive, non-transferable license under the patent rights and know-how for use in the design, construction and operation of any and all future oil sands plants in the US. Greenfield agrees to pay a license fee of $2,000,000 for oil sands plants designed, developed and constructed by Greenfield. The parties recognize that $1,500,000 has been invested in the Petroteq Oil Sands plant based in Utah and another $500,000 in further plant development and improvements. Greenfield will pay to the Company a 5% royalty based on net revenue received from production and disposition of licensed products unless the licensed product is not covered by a valid claim (in which case the royalty is reduced to 3%).

The Company has agreed to utilize Valkor as the exclusive provider of engineering, planning and construction for all oil sands plants built by Petroteq or Greenfield under this agreement, provided the fees charged by Valkor are reasonable and competitive.

The agreement between the Company and Valkor will remain in effect from November 14, 2020 until the expiration of the last valid patent claim, unless terminated by default or bankruptcy.

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.

Suspension of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (continued)

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 with the TSXV for the Transactions, they may not all be accepted for approval by the TSXV and as a condition of reinstatement to trading on the TSXV the Company may need to take remedial action to bring the Transactions into compliance.

The Transactions, described below, were all disclosed in the Company’s financial statements (all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. currency unless otherwise indicated):

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.

Expressed in US dollars

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.

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:

For the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020

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 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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).
