Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
| 1. | Organization |
Trillion Energy International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is a Canadian based oil and gas exploration and production company. Effective January 2022, the corporate headquarters moved to Suite 700, 838 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada from Turan Gunes Bulvari, Park Oran Ofis Plaza, 180-y, Daire:54, Kat:14, 06450, Oran, Cankaya, Anakara, Turkey. The Company also has a registered office in Canada. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia. The Company’s shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “TRLEF” and trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “TCF”.
On January 21, 2022, the Company redomiciled from Delaware to a British Columbia corporation by way of an amalgamation transaction with the Company’s British Columbian subsidiary, Trillion Energy Inc. (the “Repatriation Transaction”). Pursuant to the Repatriation Transaction, for every one common stock of Trillion Energy International Inc., the shareholders will receive one common stock of Trillion Energy Inc. The Company will continue to operate and report under the name of Trillion Energy International Inc.
As a result of the Repatriation Transaction, the Company meets the definition of a foreign private issuer, as defined under Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On September 18, 2023, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of five old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation (the “Share Consolidation”).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. As at March 31, 2025, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $28,903,516 (December 31, 2024 – $27,931,650) and its accumulated deficit amounts to $51,813,806 (December 31, 2024 – $54,009,488). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $462,943 (2024 – $12,597 net cash used in operating activities). The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to complete financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations, the successful results from its business activities, and its ability to operate profitably and generate funds. Although the Company raised capital in previous reporting periods, additional funding will be required to continue current operations and further advance its existing oil and gas assets in the upcoming 12 months. These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
| 2. | Material Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation |
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of condensed interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted and these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
The Company’s management makes judgments in its process of applying the Company’s accounting policies in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition, the preparation of the financial data requires that the Company’s management make assumptions and estimates of the effects of uncertain future events on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively. The critical judgments and estimates applied in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) on May 30, 2025.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), effective as at January 1, 2024. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Park Place Energy Corp. (“PPE Corp.”), Park Place Energy Bermuda (“PPE Bermuda”), BG Exploration EOOD (“BG Exploration”), and Park Place Energy Turkey (“PPE Turkey”). The Company’s oil and gas operations are conducted jointly with its joint venture partner (Note 6). The joint arrangement meets the definition of a joint operation under IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements” (“IFRS 11”); therefore, the Company’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The functional currency of BG Exploration is the Bulgarian Lev. The functional currency of the Company’s Turkish operations is the Turkish Lira (“₺”). The functional currency of the Company’s Bermuda subsidiary is the United States dollar (“USD”), and the function currency of PPE Corp is the USD. Prior to January 1, 2022, the functional currency of Trillion Energy International Inc. was USD. The Company redomiciled from United States to Canada and became a Canadian Company in January 2022, resulting in the parent’s expenditures being denominated primarily in Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the Company being funded primarily from issuance of equity instruments which proceeds are in CAD. As a result, the Company determined that the functional currency of the parent was changed to CAD effective January 1, 2022.
The Company has accounted for the change in functional currency prospectively with no impact of this change on prior period comparative information. The Company has made an accounting policy choice to reassess the classification of financial instruments as liabilities or equity or vice versa as applicable when the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries changes. The policy will be applied consistently in the future.
A portion of the Company’s exploration and development activities are conducted jointly with others. The joint interests are accounted for on a proportionate consolidation basis and as a result the financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows from these activities.

Basis of Measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain derivative liabilities, which are measured at fair value.
Hyperinflation
Due to various qualitative factors and developments with respect to the economic environment in Turkey, including but not limited to, the acceleration of multiple local inflation indices, the three-year cumulative inflation rate of the local Turkish wholesale price index exceeding 100% at the end of February 2022 and the significant devaluation of the Turkish Lira, Turkey has been designated a hyper-inflationary economy as of April 1, 2022 for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies was adopted by the Company in its consolidated financial statements and applied to these consolidated financial statements in relation to PPE Turkey. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on the historical cost approach in IAS 29.
The application of hyperinflation accounting requires restatement of PPE Turkey’s non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and comprehensive income (loss) items from the original transaction date when they were first recognized into the current purchasing power which reflects a general price index current at the end of the reporting period. To measure the impact of inflation on its financial statements and results, the Company has elected to use the consumer price index (“CPI”) as published by the Turkish Statistical Institute “TURKSTAT”.
IAS 29 also requires the restatement of comparative periods for the effects of hyperinflation unless the comparatives were previously presented in a different presentation currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, a stable currency, and as a result the comparative amounts do not require restatement.
On April 1, 2022, the Company recognized an adjustment of $473,907 for the impact of hyperinflation within accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the non-monetary assets held by PPE Turkey, which have been restated from the historic date when they were first recognized to the beginning of the reporting period (the “Opening Hyperinflation Adjustment”). On initial adoption of IAS 29, there is an accounting policy choice to recognize the Opening Hyperinflation Adjustment directly to opening equity or to other comprehensive income and the Company has elected to recognize this amount directly to opening equity.
The value of the CPI at March 31, 2025, was 2,955 (December 31, 2024 - 2,685) and the movement in the CPI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 270 (2024 – 280), an increase of approximately 10% (2024 – 15%).

The South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB”)
The Company owns offshore production licenses called the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB”). The Company owns a 49% working interest in SASB in partnership with TPAO. SASB has four producing fields, each with a production platform plus subsea pipelines that connect the fields to an onshore gas plant. The four SASB fields are located off the north coast of Turkey towards the western end of the Black Sea.
Impairment
Management assesses each field for impairment indicators at each reporting date. Impairment indicators considered include the following:
| ● | Plans to discontinue or dispose of the asset before the previously expected date; | |
| ● | Significant reductions in estimates or reserves; | |
| ● | Significant cost overrun on a capital project; | |
| ● | Significant increases in the expected cost of dismantling assets and restoring the site; and | |
| ● | Production difficulties. |
As at March 31, 2025, the Company performed an assessment of potential impairment indicators and noted that the Company’s net asset value was greater than its market capitalization. As a result of the impairment indicator noted, the Company performed an impairment test in accordance with IFRS using fair value less cost to sell. For the purposes of testing impairment and determining value in use of the SASB property, the Company used a 15-year forecast of before-tax net cash flows on proved developed reserves (i.e. excluding proved undeveloped reserves) obtained from the annual reserve report discounted at 15% to estimate the value in use of the SASB property. The resulting recoverable amount exceeded the book values of the oil and gas properties and as such, no impairment charge was recognized as at March 31, 2025. As at March 31, 2025, the depletion calculation includes future development costs of $31,400,000 (December 31, 2024 – $31,400,000) based on the most recent reserve report.
As at December 31, 2024, the impairment test resulted in a $9,892,000 impairment of the Company’s SASB gas property and no impairment on the Cendere oil property. For the purposes of testing impairment and determining value in use of the SASB property, the Company used a 15-year forecast of before-tax net cash flows on proved developed reserves (i.e. excluding proved undeveloped reserves) obtained from the annual reserve report discounted at 15% to estimate the value in use of the SASB property. This resulted in a recoverable amount (value in use) of $50,124,000. The pre-impairment carrying value of the SASB cash generating unit includes the net book value of the SASB property of $60,016,000.
Sale of assets
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold tubing and casing with a cost of $1,087,146 for proceeds of $621,054, resulting in a loss of $466,092. There were no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

| 11. | Convertible debentures |
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to issue 15,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of CAD$1,000 per unit, for gross proceeds of CAD$15,000,000 (USD$11,135,145). Each Unit will consist of CAD$1,000 (approximately USD$742) principal amount secured convertible debenture (“Debenture”) and 333 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one common share of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$2.50 (approximately USD$1.86 at initial recognition) and shall have an expiry date of June 29, 2025.
The Debentures will mature on April 30, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) and will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Company has the ability to redeem the Debentures at any time between the dates of April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025 at a redemption price of 105% of the principal amount plus any accrued interest. At the holders’ option, the Debentures may be converted into common shares of the Company at any time, up to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the redemption of the Debentures, at a conversion price of CAD$3.00 (approximately USD$2.23 at initial recognition) per common share.
The convertible debentures were determined to be a financial instrument comprising a host debt component, a conversion feature classified as equity, and freestanding warrants classified as equity. The warrants and conversion features were determined to be equity components because the exercise prices are denominated in the functional currency of the Company. Thus, these components meet the criterion of an equity instrument.
The Company paid an underwriting fee of CAD$1,045,000 (USD$775,748) and issued 300,000 broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) in conjunction with the financing. The Broker Warrants are exercisable for one common share of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$2.50 and shall have an expiry date of April 20, 2025. The fair value of the Broker Warrants was estimated to be $216,777 and was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate: 3.77%, expected volatility: 100.96%, dividend yield: 0% and expected life: 2 years.
On initial recognition, the proceeds were first allocated to the fair value of the host debt component, calculated using a market interest rate of 16%, which is the market interest rate of a debt instrument with similar terms but without the equity conversion feature. The residual proceeds were then allocated to the conversion feature and warrant equity components using the relative fair value method.

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) result from its interest in oil and gas assets including well sites. The total ARO is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all sites, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and the estimated timing of the costs to be included in future years. The Company estimated the total undiscounted amount required to settle the ARO as at March 31, 2025 is $16.5 million (December 31, 2024 – $16.5 million). The ARO is calculated using an inflation rate of 2.5% (December 31, 2024 – 2.5%) and discounted using a risk-free rate of 4.45% (December 31, 2024 – 4.75%) between 10 and 20 years.
During 2023, the Company and TPAO agreed to establish a close out-fund (the “Close-Out Fund”) in a US dollar bank account. The amounts accumulated in the Close-Out Fund will not be used for any purpose other than to cover the cost of close-out of the SASB project. The US dollar bank account is held by TPAO. Starting with the July 2023 natural gas revenue, each party agreed to transfer 10% of its revenue into the Close-Out Fund on a monthly basis, until an amount agreed to by both parties is attained. The Company accounted for its share in the Close-Out Fund as a long-term deposit (Note 4). As at March 31, 2025, the Company share of the Close-Out Fund amounted to $756,634 (December 31, 2024 – $686,159).

| 21. | Capital Management |
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to support its business plan, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company considers its capital for this purpose to be its equity, $14,680,551 (December 31, 2024 – $14,149,208).
The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placement, incur debt or return capital to members.
The Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay administrative costs, the Company will utilize its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The overall objective of management is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
| a) | Market risk |
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and equity price risk.
Foreign currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk as it has transactions denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

(Unaudited)
| 22. | Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued) |
As at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, significant foreign exchange currency exposure on its financial instruments, expressed in USD was as follows:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| $ | $ | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 56,191 | 152,087 | ||||||
| Accounts receivable | – | 63,120 | ||||||
| Accounts payable | (12,226,889 | ) | (12,812,027 | ) | ||||
| Loans payable | (3,978,475 | ) | (4,176,234 | ) | ||||
| Lease liability | (43,104 | ) | (45,353 | ) | ||||
| Total | (16,192,277 | ) | (16,818,407 | ) | ||||
If the CAD strengthened or weakened against the USD by 10% the exchange rate fluctuation would impact net loss by $1,619,228 at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $1,681,841).
Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest earned on cash is insignificant and the Company does not rely on interest income to fund its operations. The Company does not have significant debt facilities with variable interest rates and is therefore not exposed to interest rate risk.
Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company does not hold equity investments in other entities and therefore is not exposed to a significant risk.
| b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable which consists primarily of trade receivables and notes and amounts receivable for equity issued. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution. Exposure to credit loss notes and amounts receivable for equity issued is limited by entering into these types of transactions with related parties and entities that are well known to the Company.
The Company only has two customers. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. One of the customers is the largest oil refinery in Turkey. The other customer provides letters of credit to be used by the Company in the event of default. As at March 31, 2025, all of the Company’s trade receivables are current (< 30 days outstanding).
The Company’s maximum credit exposure is $1,200,677 (December 31, 2024 – $2,051,297).

| 22. | Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued) |
| c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities, when feasible. The Company anticipates increases in revenue in future periods resulting from the completion of an additional well subsequent to the period end. Historically, the Company’s sources of funding has been through equity and debt financings. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant debt or equity funding.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s contractual cashflows.

| 24. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Close-out Fund
The Company has committed to contribute to the Close-Out Fund (Note 12) where it has deposited 10% of natural gas revenue from the SASB project into the Close-Out Fund until an amount agreed to by both parties is attained.
Arbitration
The Company through its’ subsidiary PPE Turkey has advanced arbitration against an offshore drilling rig contractor for $20.3 million for gross negligent and breach of contact involving health and safety issues during the prior year drilling program resulting in loss and damages to Company (the “Trillion Losses”). Liability is not admitted, the litigation is at the inception, and thus, legal counsel has advised that it is too soon to predict the outcome or the quantum of damages that will be assessed. The Company is confident that its case has merit. In accordance with guidance for contingent assets and liabilities, no provision for any potential recovery of the Trillion Losses will be made until recovery is virtually certain. If the Company’s claim is successful, the award will exceed the amount, if any, that is payable to the drilling contractor in its claim.
The Company’s subsidiary PPE Turkey is defending an action brought by the same drilling contractor in Europe to which it has advanced an arbitration claim, for drilling services seeking $3 million. This amount has fully been recorded in accounts payable in accordance with guidance as there is significant uncertainty as to the outcome of the arbitration.
Third party liability claim
The Company has included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities a potential liability for an invoice in the amount of $144,247, issued to a 3rd party with whom the Company previously had a farm-in arrangement. The vendor is claiming that the Company is liable given the previous relationship.
Dispute with former employees
The Company has filed claims against, and has received counter claims from, former employees. This dispute is ongoing, and the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
| 25. | Subsequent events |
Subsequent to year-end, the Company amended the terms of its convertible debentures as follows:
| ● | Maturity date extended from April 30, 2025 to July 31, 2025; | |
| ● | Semi-annual interest due on April 30, 2025 is now authorized to be paid in cash or common shares of the Company at a deemed price of CAD$0.03 per share; | |
| ● | As a result of the amendment to the maturity date, the debenture holders will receive an extension fee in the aggregate amount of CAD$85,000 payable in common shares of the Company at price of CAD$0.033 per share; | |
| ● | As a result of the amendment to the maturity date to July 31, 2025, the convertible debentures will continue to bear interest from May 1, 2025 to July 31, 2025 at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in cash. |
On April 30, 2025, the Company issued 30,622,615 common shares to repay accrued interest on the convertible debentures.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements
The information provided in this MD&A, including the audited consolidated financial statements, are the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of the future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Trillion Energy International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is a Canadian based oil and gas exploration and production company with operations primarily in Turkiye. The Company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “TCF” where it was added to the CSE 25 Index. The Company also trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “TRLEF” and the Frankfurt exchange under the symbol Z620. A class of the Company’s warrants trade on the CSE under the symbol TCF.WT.
The Company is focused on oil and gas exploration in Turkiye. The Company has drilled six successful development gas wells (two in 2022 and four in 2023) at its conventional natural gas project, the SASB gas field located in the Black Sea, Turkiye, where it has initiated a multi-well development program. Trillion has a 49% interest in the SASB gas field. In addition, the Company produces oil from the Cendere field in Turkiye, a long-term low decline oil field where it holds a 19.6% (except three wells with 9.8%) interest.
Strategic Focus
Trillion’s strategy is to increase production at the SASB natural gas field and build shareholder value through a multi-well drilling program. Additionally, the Company is looking at additional opportunities in the Oil and Gas industry both in Turkiye and internationally.
After drilling five successful long reach directional wells and one re-completion at SASB, Trillion conducted several new perforations of existing wells and has installed velocity string (“VS”) production tubing during 2024 to address water-loading issues. During 2025, the Company intends to install pumps and gas lift to optimize production and reduce well downtime. Trillion’s priority is undertaking work programs to increase production and reduce downtime on the SASB Field to ensure all 6 previously drilled and completed wells are able to produce concurrently.
Trillions short term focus is on restoring and increasing production on eight wells at the SASB gas field, which have incurred significant downtime due to water loading issues, despite having considerable reserves.
For the 2026 SASB drilling program, several sidetrack wells have been engineered and are drill ready. These wells are expected to be drilled first, after the Company has addressed water loading issues in its current wells.
Developments of the Business
Trillion Energy International Inc. is an oil and gas producer in Europe. The Company’s current focus is on increasing conventional natural gas production at its SASB field located in the Black Sea, Turkey where it has initiated a multi-well development drilling program “the SASB Development Program”. In addition, it produces oil from the Cendere field, a long-term low decline oil field.

The Company has also issued an aggregate of 3,516,493 shares in settlement of debt owed by the Company in the aggregate amount of $524,442 and 2,029,413 shares to Directors, Officers and employees in respect to fees due for services.
By December 2024 the Company announced it has successfully run 2 3/8 VS tubing in four existing wells, including three long reach wells on the Akcakoca Platform at the SASB Gas Field, Turkey.
In January, the Company ran VS on two tripod wells and stimulating all the wells to clean up the producing reservoirs, build pressure and increase production. Choke sizes are being adjusted to minimize water production and maximize gas production.
To improve VS performance results, the Company sought to put ESP pumps in certain wells, and has recently initiated gas lift on Akcakoca platform, to stimulate the VS into production.
Turkey
The Company primarily operates in Turkey, where it owns two key production assets; an interest in the producing Cendere oil field (“Cendere”) and a natural gas field located in the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB” or the “SASB Gas Field”). Cendere is a mature long-term low decline oil field. The second asset is the SASB natural gas field, a producing shallow water development to which the Company is currently focused on increasing production by drilling new wells.
Cendere
The Company has a 19.6% interest in the Cendere oil field located in Southeast Turkey all except certain wells. At March 31, 2025, the gross oil production rate for the producing wells in Cendere was 582 bbls/day (barrels per day); the average daily 2025 gross production rate for the field was 600 bbls/day. At the end of March 2025, oil was sold at a price of approximately US$72.67 per barrel (“bbl”). Average oil price for 2025 was US$76.38 At March 31, 2025, the Cendere field was producing 88 barrels of oil per day net (after royalty) to the Company; and averaged 92 barrels per day during the three months ended March 31, 2025 net (after royalty) to the Company.
SASB
The Company’s interest in SASB is 49%. SASB has several natural gas fields, four production platforms plus 18 kilometers of subsea pipelines connecting the gas fields to an onshore gas processing facility. SASB is located off the North West coast of Turkey in the Black Sea. Total gross production to date from the four fields is over 43 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”).
The Company commenced the SASB Development Program during September 2022, at which time the Uranus Rig mobilized to the license block from Romania. The drilling rig was then positioned at the Akcakoca platform upon which it drilled South Akcakoca, re-completed Akcakoca-3, drilled Akcakoca West 1 and Guluc 2. In addition, Bayhanli 2 and Alapli 2 were drilled off different tripods. Those 5 new wells and one recompletion were put on production, thus generating revenue for the company. The wells experienced water loading due to the large production tubing size and currently all gas pay in the wells will be perforated and production tubing changed to a smaller diameter.
As at March 31, 2025 the gross gas production rate for SASB was 0.013 MMcfd, net to Company was 0.006 MMcf/d (after royalty) The current average daily 2025 gross production rate for the field was 0.061 MMcfd and net to Company was 0.031 MMcf/d (after royalty). Currently natural gas is currently being sold at about US$11.81/mcf domestically in Turkey. The average monthly natural gas sale price year to date for 2025 was approximately US$11.82/ mcf. Quarterly production rates were significantly lower due to waterloading issues impacting gas flow.

Oil Exploration Licences M46c,d and M47
The Company conducted 2-D seismic exploration further to a farm-in agreement with Derkim Poliüretan Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. to earn a 50% working interest in three oil exploration blocks (the “Farmin”) comprised of 151,484 hectares (374,325 acres), Southeastern Turkiye. The Company was unable to complete certain well drilling obligations on time and as a result was unable to fully meet its farm-in obligations. The Company has discontinued exploration activities on the block as a result and is seeking new farm-in agreement terms.
Bulgaria Coal bed methane license
In October of 2010, the Company was awarded an exploration permit for the “Vranino 1-11 Block”, a 98,205 acre oil and gas exploration land located in Dobrudja Basin, Bulgaria, by the Bulgarian Counsel of Ministers. On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Prospecting and Exploration in the Vranino 1-11 Block with the Ministry of Economy and Energy of Bulgaria (the “License Agreement”). The initial term of the License Agreement is five years. This five-year period will commence once the Bulgarian regulatory authorities approve of the Company’s work programs for the permit area and the Company completes an environmental impact assessment (“EIA”). The License Agreement (or applicable legislation) provides for possible extension periods for up to five additional years during the exploration phase, as well as the conversion of the License Agreement to an exploitation concession, which can last for up to 35 years. Under the License Agreement, the Company will submit a yearly work program that is subject to the approval of the Bulgarian regulatory authorities.
During the fall of 2022, the Company consulted with local counsel and an environmental consultant but was unable to determine whether it would be able to obtain the license. In October and November 2022, management made repeated efforts to obtain a visa to visit Bulgaria and seek clarification on the status of the license, however the visa applications were declined. The Company thus determined it would dispose of the Bulgaria property and that it would obtain the options to do so.

Revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to water flooding issues from new production wells.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized net income of $2,195,682 compared to a net income of $1,319,856 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change is primarily due to a lower deferred tax expense recognized during the current quarter, as well as a gain on debt settlement being recognized in the current quarter in comparison to a loss in the prior quarter.
The Company’s cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2025 yielded a net decrease of $306,536 primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues. The Company also did not complete any stock offerings during the current quarter.
The Company’s total assets increased primarily as a result of an increase in the Company’s oil and gas assets due to continued work performed and the impact of hyperinflation.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are expressed in United States dollars.
Three months and ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024
The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $875,826 to $2,195,682 compared to the net income of $1,319,856 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Factors contributing to the net income for the three-month periods included the following:
Revenue
Revenues decreased by $383,009 from $1,321,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $938,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease observed was due to water loading of wells.
Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred production expenses related to its Turkey operations of $591,568 (2024 - $1,320,648), depletion charges for $99,497 (2024 - $177,477), depreciation expense of $15,736 (2024 - $23,244) and asset retirement obligation accretion expense of $64,806 (2024 - $60,051). Production expenses decreased by $729,080 as a result of a decrease in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Depletion decreased by $77,980 as a result of a change in estimate of the depletion base based on the most recent reserve report. The change in accretion of asset retirement costs of $4,755 was recognized primarily due to a change in estimate in 2025 relating to the discount rates used in the calculation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had general and administrative expenses of $765,133, compared to $1,576,814 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in salaries and compensation from lower management and consulting fees.
Geological and geophysical expenses decreased to $27,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $705,184 during the same period in 2024. This was a result of decreased activity due to water loading of wells.
| 7 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $Nil compared to $329,574 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation is recognized due to the grant of RSUs and options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company pursuant to employment contracts and agreements between the parties. There were no options or RSUs granted during the current period.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had other income of $2,958,635 compared to other income of $5,045,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consists mainly of a foreign exchange loss of $1,000,947 (2024 - $565,913) coupled with finance costs of $615,137 (2024 - $641,343) primarily as a result of interest and accretion recognized on loans payable and convertible debentures issued in 2023. This was offset by a gain on net monetary position of $4,637,618 (2024 - $6,349,365). The net monetary gain is a result of Turkey being designated a hyper-inflationary economy as of April 1, 2022 for accounting purposes.
Total Assets
As at March 31, 2025, total assets increased by $638,614 from $54,864,568 as at December 31, 2024 to $55,503,182 as at March 31, 2025. The increase in total assets was primarily a result of an increase in oil and gas properties of $1,612,300 offset by a reduction in cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and amounts receivable. The increase in oil and gas reflect continued work performed in the Company’s SASB fields in Turkey and the effect of hyperinflation.
Total Non-current Liabilities
Total non-current liabilities as at March 31, 2025 increased by $182,269 from $10,170,168 as at December 31, 2024 to $10,352,437 as at March 31, 2025. The increase in total non-current financial liabilities was primarily due to an increase in asset retirement obligations, offset by a decrease in deferred tax liability and long-term portion of the lease liability.

The $971,866 increase in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash of $306,536, increase in accrued interest payable on convertible debt of $539,742 and a reduction in accounts receivable by $547,363. This was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable of $139,637 and $476,022, respectively.
The Company will continue to develop the SASB wells to enhance production through artificial lift and look for new oil and gas opportunities to develop more revenue producing assets.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $494,121, compared to $27,117 for the three months ended March 31, 2024
Future Operating Requirements
Our current plan of operation is to increase production from the SASB field through artificial lift and smaller production tubing to ramp up cashflow to use cashflow to improve working capital. The funding for this plan and to pay down accounts payable will come from existing revenues streams, proceeds from sale of excess inventory from the previous drilling program and renegotiate maturing convertible debt and finding additional opportunities in the Oil and Gas industry. Through these developments, the Company believes this will be sufficient to improve working capital to a management level. Renegotiation of maturing convertible debt was finalized on April 17, 2025, and includes the extension of the maturity date by three months as well as interest payments to be made through share issuances.
Once we have brought production levels up to the anticipated levels we shall plan the continuation of drilling production wells extensions at SASB to increase gas production, if and when cash is available. Each sidetrack well is expected to cost US $2.5 -$4 million net to Trillion. Up to 10 sidetracks will be drilled, if and when cash is available from operations. As each of the wells is expected to generate cashflow as they are brought online and as cash receipts from production are obtained on a monthly basis, our cash position will be enhanced and capital outlays will be covered, such that increasing sales revenue will contribute positively to the Company’s working capital and future anticipated capital expenditures.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had unrestricted cash of $292,672 and current liabilities of $30,470,194, which is not sufficient to cover its plan of operations over the next 12 months and accordingly, the Company anticipates selling inventory, and plans to raise further funds in the short term. The Company is looking for additional opportunities both in Turkey and internationally to develop the Company’s asset base.

| 12 |
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument and other risks:
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk as it has transactions denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
As at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, significant foreign exchange currency exposure on its financial instruments, expressed in USD was as follows:
If the CAD strengthened or weakened against the USD by 10% the exchange rate fluctuation would impact net loss by $1,619,228 at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $1,681,841).
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable which consists primarily of trade receivables and notes and amounts receivable for equity issued. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution. Exposure to credit loss notes and amounts receivable for equity issued is limited by entering into these types of transactions with related parties and entities that are well known to the Company.
The Company only has two customers. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. One of the customers is the largest oil refinery in Turkey. The other customer provides letters of credit to be used by the Company in the event of default. As at March 31, 2025, all of the Company’s trade receivables are current (< 30 days outstanding).
The Company’s maximum credit exposure is $1,200,677 (December 31, 2024 – $2,051,297).
Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest earned on cash is insignificant and the Company does not rely on interest income to fund its operations. The Company does not have significant debt facilities with variable interest rates and is therefore not exposed to interest rate risk.
Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company does not hold equity investments in other entities and therefore is not exposed to a significant risk.
| 13 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities, when feasible. The Company anticipates increases in revenue in future periods resulting from the completion of an additional well subsequent to the period end. Historically, the Company’s sources of funding has been through equity and debt financings. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant debt or equity funding.
General risks
Petroleum and natural gas exploration and production can involve environmental risks such as litigation, physical and regulatory risks. Physical risks include the pollution of the environment, climate change and destruction of natural habitat, as well as safety risks such as personal injury. The Company works hard to identify the potential environmental impacts of its new projects in the planning stage and during operations. The Company conducts its operations with high standards in order to protect the environment, its employees and consultants, and the general public. We maintain current insurance coverage for comprehensive and general liability as well as limited pollution liability. The amount and terms of this insurance are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted as necessary to reflect current corporate requirements, as well as industry standards and government regulations. Without such insurance, and if the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities could reduce or eliminate its available funds or could exceed the funds the Company has available and result in financial distress.
Climate change risks
Our exploration and production infrastructure and other operations and activities emit greenhouse gasses (“GHG”) which may require us to comply with federal and/or provincial GHG emissions legislation. Climate change policy is evolving at regional, national and international levels, and political and economic events may significantly affect the scope and timing of climate change measures that are ultimately put in place to prevent climate change or mitigate our effects. The direct or indirect costs of compliance with GHG-related regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Some of our significant facilities may ultimately be subject to future regional, provincial and/or federal climate change regulations to manage GHG emissions. In addition, climate change has been linked to long-term shifts in climate patterns and extreme weather conditions both of which pose the risk of causing operational difficulties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2018 the Company entered into an agreement to grant to a consultant of the Company a 2% (two percent) gross overriding royalty on petroleum substances produced from certain of its currently undeveloped exploration properties, namely: Block 1-11 Vranino situated in Dobrich District, Bulgaria. The Grant of the royalty agreement was for services involving technical and corporate advisory services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
| 15 |
We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligation(s) by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments
The Company sells oil and natural gas products in Turkey. The Company enters into contracts that generally include one type of distinct product in variable quantities and priced based on a specific index related to the type of product.
The oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to processors and other third parties for processing and sale to customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the oil is transferred. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the customer upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under the Company’s natural gas contracts with processors, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the processing entity’s system. For the Company’s other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery to the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. In the cases where the Company sells to a processor, the Company has determined that the Company is the principal in the arrangement and the processors are the Company’s customers. The Company recognizes the revenue in these contracts based on the net proceeds received from the processor.
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 Paragraph 121(a) which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. The Company has no unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period.
The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified. There is a low level of uncertainty due to the precision of measurement and use of index-based pricing with predictable differentials. Additionally, any variable consideration identified is not constrained.
Amounts Receivable
Amounts receivable consist of oil and gas receivables. The Company has classified these as short-term assets in the balance sheet because the Company expects repayment or recovery within the next 12 months. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. The Company deems all accounts receivable to be collectable and has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Pre-license exploration costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licenses to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets.
| 16 |
Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are charged to exploration expense.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.
When management determines with reasonable certainty that an exploration and evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to oil and gas properties.
Oil and gas properties
Oil and gas properties (“O&G”) include development and productions costs, less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. O&G are grouped into cash generating units for impairment testing. The Company has grouped its O&G into two CGUs: the Cendere Oil Field and SASB Gas Field.
When significant parts of an item of O&G have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of O&G are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Such capitalized items generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and/or probable reserves and bringing on or enhancing production from such reserves and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The carrying amount of any replaced or sold component is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of oil ang gas properties are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The net carrying value of oil and gas properties is depleted using the unit-of-production method by reference to the ratio of production in the year to the related proved reserves, taking into account estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. These estimates are reviewed by independent reservoir engineers at least annually.
Stock-based compensation
Under the company’s share-based compensation plans, share-based awards may be granted to executives, employees and non-employee directors. The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services like those performed by an employee.
The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted, using the Black Scholes valuation model. The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). For cash settled share-based compensation, the expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability at the end of the reporting period until the award is settled.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the share-based payment.
The cumulative expense is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period, and the corresponding amount is represented in contributed surplus. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of the revisions in the consolidated statements of loss.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense or its reduction is recognized for any modification which increases or decreases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the Company or the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately or reversed through profit or loss, depending on the type of cancellation. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional dilution in the computation of earnings per share whereas anti-dilutive options are ignored.
Consideration paid to the Company on exercise of hare-based awards is credited to share capital and the associated amount in option reserve is reclassified to share capital.
Unit Offerings
Common shares are classified as equity. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method. The residual method first allocates fair value to the component with the best evidence of fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares, measured on date of issue, was determined to be the component with the best evidence of fair value. The balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants. Costs directly identifiable with share capital financing are charged against share capital. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a receivable as a contra account to shareholders’ equity.
Hyperinflation in a subsidiary’s functional currency
IAS 29 provides guidance on when a hyperinflation economic environment exists. When hyperinflation is deemed to exist, the subsidiary’s financial statements are first restated before being translated into the consolidated financial statements. Comparative amounts are excluded from the restatement requirement when the presentation currency of the ultimate financial statements into which they will be included (USD) is non-hyperinflationary.
Monetary items are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the end of the reporting period. Certain non-monetary items are carried at amounts current at the end of the reporting period, such as net realizable value and fair value, so they also are not restated. All other non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated in their functional currency so that all the items presented are equivalent to their current purchasing power at the end of the current reporting period. A non-monetary item once restated, in accordance with the appropriate IFRS’s, cannot exceed its recoverable amount.
Assets
Held For Sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is met when the sale is highly probable, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets held for sale are presented separately in current assets within the consolidated statements of financial position. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell, and are not depreciated, depleted or amortized. An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the assets held for sale to fair value less costs to dispose. The comparative period consolidated statement of financial position is not restated.

Close-out Fund:
During 2023, the Company and TPAO agreed to establish a close out-fund (the “Close-Out Fund”) in a US dollar bank account. The company has committed to contribute to the Close-Out Fund and is required to deposit 10% of natural gas revenue from the SASB project into the Close-Out Fund until an amount agreed to by both parties is attained. The amount accumulated in the Close-Out Fund will not be used for any purpose other than to cover the cost of close-out of the SASB project. As at March 31, 2025, the Company share of the Close-Out Fund amounted to $756,634 (December 31, 2024 - $686,159).
Arbitration
The Company through its’ subsidiary PPE Turkey has advanced arbitration against an offshore drilling rig contractor for $20.3 million for gross negligent and breach of contract involving health and safety issues during the prior year drilling program resulting in loss and damages to Company (the “Trillion Losses”). Liability is not admitted, the litigation is at the inception, and thus, legal counsel has advised that it is too soon to predict the outcome or the quantum of damages that will be assessed. The Company is confident that its case has merit. In accordance with guidance for contingent assets and liabilities, no provision for any potential recovery of the Trillion Losses will be made until recovery is virtually certain. If the Company’s claim is successful, the award will exceed the amount, if any, that is payable to the drilling contractor in its claim.
The Company’s subsidiary PPE Turkey is defending an action brought by the same drilling contractor in Europe to which it has advanced an arbitration claim, for drilling services seeking $3 million. This amount has fully been recorded in accounts payable in accordance with guidance as there is significant uncertainty as to the outcome of the arbitration.
Third party liability claim
The Company has included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities a potential liability for an invoice in the amount of $144,247, issued to a 3rd party with whom the Company previously had a farm-in arrangement. The vendor is claiming that the Company is liable given the previous relationship.
Dispute with former employees
The Company has filed claims against, and has received counter claims from, former employees. This dispute is ongoing, and the outcome cannot be predicted at this time.
