INFORMATIONCIRCULAR
(As of August 7, 2025, except as indicated)
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
This information circular (“Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of FEC Resources Inc. (the “Corporation”) for use at the Annual General Meeting of the Corporation to be held on Thursday, September 11, 2025, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”) at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting (“Notice”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Corporation include the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The solicitation will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by officers and employees of the Corporation. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.
Unless otherwise stated the information herein is given as of August 7, 2025.
There is enclosed herewith a form of proxy for use at the Meeting. Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is urged to vote by proxy on matters to be considered.
APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the registered Shareholder (“Registered Shareholder”) or his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a company, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.
Those Registered Shareholders desiring to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must deposit their forms of proxy with COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC. at its offices at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, prior to the use thereof at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. A proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing, or if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. A proxy is valid only at the meeting in respect of which it is given or any adjournment of that meeting.
The persons named in the instrument of proxy (“Instrument of Proxy”) accompanying this Information Circular are either officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation. A Registered Shareholder submitting an Instrument of Proxy shall have the right to appoint a person to represent the Registered Shareholder at the Meeting other than the person(s) designated in the Instrument of Proxy furnished by the Corporation. To exercise this right, the Shareholder must either insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the Instrument of Proxy and strike out the other names or submit another proper form of proxy. An Instrument of Proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, not less than forty- eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, prior to the use thereof at the meeting or adjourned meetings.
A person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, an Instrument of Proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and delivered to the registered office of the Corporation at Suite 2300, Bentall 5, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5 at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which such Instrument of Proxy is to be used, or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deliveries, the Instrument of Proxy shall be revoked. If a person who has given a proxy attends personally at the Meeting at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person.
| - 1 - |

NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the names of a brokerage firm, bank or other intermediary or in the name of a clearing agency. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to herein as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only Registered Shareholders may vote at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in such Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS Inc. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker’s client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the brokers’ clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.
Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Corporation to the Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.
This Information Circular and accompanying materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of Common Shares. If you are a non-registered owner of Common Shares and the Corporation or its transfer agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories – those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own (“OBOs”) and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own (“NOBOs”). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs. The Corporation is sending proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs under NI 54-101.
| - 2 - |
|---|
By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions (the “VIF”).
In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own. If a Beneficial Shareholder wishes to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his behalf, then the Beneficial Shareholder may write the applicable name in the space provided in the VIF, which will grant the Beneficial Shareholder or his nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.
IF YOU ARE A NON-REGISTERED OWNER AND WISH TO VOTE IN PERSON AT THE MEETING, PLEASE REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS SET OUT ON THE VIF THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR.
The Corporation has not adopted the notice and access procedure described in NI 54-101 and National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”) to distribute its proxy-related materials to the Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. In addition, the Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and that in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.
EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXY
The Common Shares represented by a properly executed proxy in favour of persons proposed by management of the Corporation as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy will:
| (a) | be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the person appointing the proxyholder on any ballot that may be taken; and |
|---|---|
| (b) | where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of proxy, be voted in accordance with the specification made in such proxy |
ON A POLL SUCH COMMON SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER FOR WHICH NO CHOICE HAS BEEN SPECIFIED BY THE SHAREHOLDER.
The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As at the date of this Information Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than those matters referred to in the Notice.
VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value (“Preferred Shares”). As at August 7, 2025 (the “Record Date”), the Corporation had 992,646,096 Common Shares issued and outstanding. There are no Preferred Shares issued and outstanding. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each Common Share held. Holders of Common Shares of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.
| - 3 - |
|---|
On a show of hands, every individual who is present and is entitled to vote as a Shareholder or as a representative of one or more corporate Shareholders, or who is holding a proxy on behalf of a Shareholder who is not present at the Meeting, will have one vote, and on a poll every Shareholder present in person or represented by a proxy and every person who is a representative of one or more corporate Shareholders, will have one vote for each Common Share. Shareholders represented by proxy holders are not entitled to vote on a show of hands.
To the best of the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Corporation except as noted below.
| Name | No. of Common Shares ^(1)^ | Percentage |

| (2) | On July 31, 2025 PXP Energy Corporation received 131,563,725 shares for $1,157,760.78 in debt and accrued interest. |
The By-laws of the Corporation provide that a quorum for any meeting of Shareholders shall be two (2) Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy or duly authorized representative not being less than two (2) in number.
STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Guiding Principles and Objectives
The compensation committee of the Corporation (the “Compensation Committee”) reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) concerning the terms of the compensation packages provided to the Corporation’s senior executive officers, including salary, bonus and awards under our stock option plan and any other compensation plans that the Corporation may adopt in the future. In 2024, the Compensation Committee was comprised of one member being Paul Wallace. Mr. Wallace is independent. Members of the Compensation Committee for 2025 are to be appointed following the Meeting.
The member of the Compensation Committee has direct experience which is relevant to his responsibilities in executive compensation as he has been previously, or is currently, involved with compensation matters at other companies, both public and private, which he is a director.
The Corporation's executive compensation program consists of an annual base salary or management fee, a longer term component consisting of stock options, and a living allowance, if considered appropriate by the Compensation Committee.
The Corporation’s executive compensation policy is designed to provide competitive compensation to enable the Corporation to attract and retain high-quality and high-performance executives who will significantly contribute to the Corporation’s ability to meet its strategic business objectives. The Corporation also believes in the importance of encouraging executives to own Common Shares in the Corporation to more fully align management with the interests of Shareholders and focus management’s activities on developing and implementing strategies that create and deliver value for Shareholders.
| - 4 - |
|---|
In determining executive compensation, the Committee considers the availability of cash compensation, options, stock appreciation rights, securities purchase programs, restricted shares, restricted share units and other incentive plans, and places relative emphasis on each depending on the present circumstances of the Corporation, the person being compensated, his or her experience and performance within the Corporation and the industry in which the Corporation operates and the position that person fills in the Corporation. The Compensation Committee, in the past, has tended to place emphasis on the granting of cash compensation and options. In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers the relative merits of both annual and long-term compensation, and considers that either or both annual or long-term compensation can be in the best interest of the Corporation depending on the present circumstances of the Corporation, the person being compensated, his or her experience and performance within the Corporation and the industry in which the Corporation operates and the position that person fills in the Corporation. In determining new option grants, the Compensation Committee may or may not take into account the amount and terms of outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and restricted share units, where applicable. The Compensation Committee’s decision in relation to new option grants will depend on the circumstances of the grant and the present circumstances of the Corporation, as well as the person being compensated, his or her experience and performance within the Corporation and the industry in which the Corporation operates and the position that person fills in the Corporation. The Compensation Committee considers that corporate performance is directly tied to executive compensation when the Corporation grants options as part of executive compensation.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee sets and approves the base salary to be paid to the Chairman of the Corporation (the “Chairman”), Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (“CEO”), and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation (the “CFO”) and to other senior executive officers of the Corporation.
All base salaries for other employees, if any, of the Corporation are determined by senior management.
Stock Options
The Corporation has a formalized stock option plan for the granting of incentive stock options to the officers, employees, consultants and directors of the Corporation. There are currently no stock options outstanding. Any grants would be made to officers, employees, consultants or directors on the basis of the number of stock options then held, position, overall individual performance, anticipated contribution to the Corporation's future success and the individual's ability to influence corporate and business performance.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The compensation of the CEO would ideally consist of an annual base salary determined in the manner described in the above discussion of compensation for all executive officers and positions the CEO within a range based on the CEO's experience and performance within the Corporation and the industry in which the Corporation operates. With respect to the Corporation’s most recent completed financial years, and in light of the Corporation’s financial condition, the CEO was compensated with a modest salary.
Other Matters
The Corporation has not placed a restriction on the purchase by its NEOs (as hereinafter defined) or directors of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly by the NEOs or directors. The NEOs have advised that they do not hold any Common Shares.
The Board and the Compensation Committee have not formally considered the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth all annual and long-term compensation for services in all capacities to the Corporation and its subsidiaries for the three (3) most recently completed financial years in respect of each of the individuals who were, as at December 31, 2024, the Chief Executive Officer and the other three most highly compensated executive officers of the Corporation (the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) including any individual who would have qualified as a NEO, but for the fact that the individual was not serving as such an officer at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
The only equity compensation plan which the Corporation has in place is its stock option plan (the “Plan”). The Plan has been established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Corporation. The Plan is administered by the directors of the Corporation. The Plan provides that stock options will be issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. The Plan provides that the number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan, together with all of the Corporation’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares. All stock options expire on a date not later than five years after the date of grant of such option. As at the date of this Information Circular, no stock options are outstanding under the Plan, and an additional 99,264,610, stock options may be granted (based on the current issued capital of 992,646,096 Common Shares).
The following table sets out equity compensation plan information as at the end of the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Under National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, companies are required to provide disclosure with respect to their audit committee including the text of the audit committee’s charter, composition of the audit committee and the fees paid to the external auditor.

INDEBTEDNESS TO CORPORATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
At any time during the Corporation’s last completed financial year or as of August 7, 2025, no director, executive officer, employee, proposed management nominee for election as a director of the Corporation nor any associate of any such director, executive officer, or proposed management nominee of the Corporation or any former director, executive officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is or has been indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or is or has been indebted to another entity where such indebtedness is or has been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than routine indebtedness.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
The Corporation is not currently a party to any management contracts.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director or executive officer of the Corporation, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Corporation, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of the auditor and as may be set out herein.
INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS
To the knowledge of management of the Corporation, no informed person (a director, officer or holder of 10% or more of the Common Shares) or nominee for election as a director of the Corporation or any associate or affiliate of any informed person or proposed director had any interest in any transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries since January 1, 2024 (being the commencement of the Corporation’s last completed financial year), or has any interest in any material transaction in the current year except for PXP Energy Corporation (“PXP”).
On March 10, 2022, the Company announced that it agreed to fund an additional cash call for pre-drilling costs received from FEL. The advance to FEL was via non-interest bearing loans. In order to be able to fund the cash call, the Company accepted a loan from PXP for the same amount (“PXP Loan”). The PXP loan bears interest of Libor plus 3.5% and both interest and principal is repayable on the earlier of a) August 31, 2025 or b) any equity issuance by FEC, or c) any sale of FEL shares by FEC, or d) any third party borrowing by FEC. The Company also received an additional $155,286 for working capital from PXP during the year ended December 31, 2024 under the same terms and conditions as the PXP Loan. As at December 31, 2024, the outstanding PXP Loan balance was $895,637 which included accrued interest of $105,431. Total interest expense amounted to $62,196 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The PXP Loan balance was reduced by $200 as a result of the assumption by PXP of the balance of the advances made to FEL. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company received an additional $70,950 for working capital under the PXP Loan and accrued an additional $17,165 of interest to March 31, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company received an additional $150,000 for working capital under the PXP Loan.
On July 31, 2025 the PXP agreed to convert its outstanding loan of $1,011,155.88 plus accrued interest to July 31, 2025 of $146,604.90 into shares of FEC at $0.0088 per FEC share. 131,563,725 common shares of FEC were issued to settle a total of $1,157,760.78 in debt.

SCHEDULE “B”
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE
National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NP 58-201”) provides guidance on corporate governance practices. Set forth below is a description of the corporate governance practices of FEC Resources Inc. (the “Corporation”) currently and going forward.
Board of Directors – The board of the directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is currently composed of three (3) directors. The following directors of the Corporation are “independent” for the purposes of NI 58-101: Claro Ramirez and Paul Wallace. The following director is not “independent” for the purposes of NI 58-101: Mr. Daniel Carlos as he serves as an executive officer of the Corporation.
Mr. Daniel Carlos, a non-independent director, presently serves as the Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer and generally chairs the meetings of the Board and actively seeks out the views of all directors on all Board matters. The directors exercise their responsibilities for and are provided with leadership through their position on the Board and ability to meet independently of management whenever it is deemed necessary.
Directorships – The following directors of the Corporation as at August 7, 2025, are presently directors of other issuers that are reporting issuers (or the equivalent):
| Name of Director | Name of Reporting Issuers | Market Traded On |
|---|
| Daniel Carlos | PXP Energy Corporation | Philippine Stock Exchange |
Orientation and Continuing Education – The Corporation does not have a formal orientation for new members of the Board, and this is considered to be appropriate, given the Corporation’s size and current limited operations. However when new directors are appointed, they receive orientation on the Corporation's business, technology and industry, as well as on the responsibilities of directors generally. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Corporation's management employees to give the directors additional insight into the Corporation's business.
The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies in the natural resource sector. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management’s assistance. Board members have full access to the Corporation’s records.
Ethical Business Conduct – The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.
To date, the Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. However, the current limited size of the Corporation’s operations and the small number of officers and employees allow the independent members of the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis the activities of management and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. As the Corporation grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
| -B-1 - |
|---|
Nomination of Directors – The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole; however, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Corporation, this policy will be reviewed. The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the President and CEO. The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. The Board considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual meeting of Shareholders, taking into account the number of directors required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.
Compensation – Duration of time spent by a director or officer in managing or working with the Corporation determines compensation for the directors and the Chief Executive Officer. Decisions relating to compensation are made by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy and form of compensation and compares it to other companies of similar size and stage of development. Directors’ compensation is in the form of directors’ fees and stock options. The quantity and quality of the Board compensation is reviewed on an annual basis.
Other Board Committees – In addition to the Audit Committee, the Corporation has a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee consists of three (3) directors: Daniel Carlos, Paul Wallace, and Claro Ramirez. New members of the audit committee will be appointed following the Meeting.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Paul Wallace. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for determining the appropriate levels of compensation for management and for determining related compensatory matters such as the granting of incentive stock options. To determine an objective process for compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy, form of compensation and compares it to other companies of similar size and stage of development. The Compensation Committee meets at least annually. New members of the Compensation Committee will be appointed following the Meeting.
Corporate Governance Committee. The Corporate Governance Committee consists of Claro Ramirez and Paul Wallace. The Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibility is to:
| · | Review and recommend to the Board policies related to the Board; |
|---|
| · | Assess qualifications for and composition of the Board; |
| · | Develop and recommend to the Board corporate governance principles; |
| · | Oversee and evaluate corporate governance at the Corporation. |
In addition, the Corporate Governance Committee has responsibility for reviewing the governance policies and practices of the Corporation and their conformity to the Guidelines. This Committee also has been given responsibility for assessment of the performance of the Board and its members, nominees for elections as director, assessment of the orientation and education of new Board members, review of directors’ compensation and insurance, and review of the mandate of the Board, its committees and management. The Corporate Governance Committee also will determine if it is appropriate for individual directors to engage outside advisers in any situation. Through the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board will continue to assess its policies and practices and the effectiveness of the management and the Board members in carrying out their respective duties. New members of the Corporate Governance Committee will be appointed following the Meeting.
Assessments – The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communications between the Board and management, and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and the committees. Based on the Corporation’s size, its stage of development, and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis. The current size of the Board is such that the entire Board takes responsibility for selecting new directors and assessing current directors. Proposed directors’ credentials are reviewed in advance of a Board meeting with one or more members of the Board prior to the proposed director’s nomination.

Diversity Disclosure for Boards of Directors and Senior Management
Effective January 1, 2020, all “distributing corporations” (as this term is defined under the Canada Business Corporations Regulations) governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act are required to disclose information on the diversity of their board of directors and senior management to shareholders on the representation of, at minimum, the following four groups (“designated groups”): women, Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities. The following disclosure responds to these requirements.
| REQUIREMENT | DISCLOSURE |
|---|
| Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal | The Corporation has not adopted term limits for directors on the Board, nor has it formally adopted other mechanisms regarding Board renewal given the size of the Board and the stage of the Corporation’s development, but the Board assesses qualifications for and composition of the Board and conducts evaluations of Board performance through the Corporate Governance Committee. See “Other Board Committees - Corporate Governance Committee” above. |
| Policies Regarding Representation of Designated Groups on the Board | The Board has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of members of designated groups as directors given the size of the Board and the stage of the Corporation’s development. The Board believes that its existing identification and nomination processes are sufficiently broad, with no limitations on diversity. Two members (or 66.6%) of the Board are members of visible minorities. |
| Consideration of Representation of Designated Groups in the Director Identification and Selection Process and Senior Management Appointments | The Board is committed to diversity and a merit based system within a diverse and inclusive culture which solicits multiple perspectives and views and is free of conscious or unconscious bias and discrimination, but given the size of the Board and the stage of the Corporation’s development, the Board has not considered the level of representation of designated groups on the Board in identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board or as a determining criterion in the selection of senior management. Notwithstanding the foregoing, two members (or 66.6%) of the Board and both members of the senior management team (or 100%) are members of visible minorities. |
| Targets Regarding Representation of Designated Groups on the Board and in Senior Management Positions | The Corporation has not adopted a target for members of designated groups on the Board or to hold senior management positions as it believes that decisions should be merit-based and that diversity can be achieved without reference to a specific target. The Corporation has achieved 66.6% membership in visible minorities on the Board and 100% membership in visible minorities in senior management positions without a target. |

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2025
(Stated in United States Dollars)
Note 1 Corporate Information
FEC Resources Inc. (“FEC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada and is a holding Company with an interest in Forum Energy Limited (“FEL”). The Company is listed in the United States on the Pink Limited, having the symbol FECOF.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company has a 6.8% interest in FEL. (Note 8).
The principal address of the Company is Suite 2300, Bentall 5, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2B5. The Company’s ultimate parent company is PXP Energy Corporation (“PXP”) with a registered office at 2/F LaunchPad, Reliance corner Sheridan Streets, Mandaluyong City 1550, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Note 2 Basis of Preparation
a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as were used for the Company’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements dated December 31, 2024.
The condensed interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 22, 2025.
b) Basis of Measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value described in the applicable notes and are presented in United States dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

Note 2 Basis of Preparation (continued)
c) Nature of Operations and Going Concern
As a holding company with an interest in FEL, the Company’s business is indirectly subject to risks inherent in oil and gas exploration and development operations. In addition, there are risks associated with FEL’s stage of operations and the foreign jurisdiction in which it or FEL may operate or invest. The Company has identified certain risks pertinent to its investment including: exploration and reserve risks, uncertainty of reserve estimates, ability to exploit successful discoveries, drilling and operating risks, title to properties, costs and availability of materials and services, capital markets and the requirement for additional capital, market perception, loss of or changes to production sharing, joint venture or related agreements, economic, political and sovereign risks, possibility of less developed legal systems, corporate and regulatory formalities, environmental regulation, reliance on strategic relationships, market risk, competition, dependence on key personnel, volatility of future oil and gas prices and foreign currency risk. The Company has an accumulated deficit since inception of $19,315,979.
Management considers that the current economic environment is difficult and the outlook for holding companies investing in oil and gas exploration companies presents significant challenges in terms of raising funds through issuance of shares. To the extent necessary, the Company has relied on its ability to raise funds via dispositions of quantities of its shareholdings in FEL to PXP under terms that are consistent with the best interests of shareholders, in order to finance its operations. The Company has been successful in disposing quantities of its shareholdings in FEL in previous fiscal years. However, there can be no assurance the Company will continue to be able to dispose of quantities of its shares in FEL under suitable terms. Currently management has no plans to sell any additional FEL shares.
Since the delisting of FEL from the London Stock Exchange, there is no liquidity via a public market for the FEL shares. As the Company is wholly reliant on the information disclosed by PXP concerning the business of FEL, the Company may not be able to obtain information necessary to facilitate a wider sales process. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon its ability to raise funds via dispositions of quantities of its shareholdings in FEL to PXP under terms that are consistent with the best interests of shareholders, or obtain loans from PXP. Also, the Company may issue new shares to PXP and/or other third parties.
Management has concluded that the combination of these circumstances gives rise to a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; therefore, the Company may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Note 3 Summary of Material Accounting Policies and Critical Accounts Estimates and Judgments
These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, these interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using the same critical accounting estimates and judgments as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 except for the valuation of the Company’s interest in FEL. Accordingly, the interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The valuation of the Company’s interest in FEL is a critical accounting estimate and judgement (Note 9).
Note 4 Standards, Amendments and Interpretations
The Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and are comprised of IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and interpretations effective as of June 30, 2025.
New IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations or changes to existing standards with future effective dates are either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.
As at the date of authorization of these financial statements, the IASB had issued certain pronouncements that are mandatory for the Company’s accounting periods commencing on or after March 1, 2025. In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”) which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss, in particular additional defined subtotals, disclosures about management-defined performance measures and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before that date. The Company is currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on its financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company, have been excluded.

Note 9 Investment in FEL (continued)
FEL’s assets consist of interests in various petroleum service contracts (SC) in the Philippines, the most significant of which in terms of Prospective Resources is SC 72. On March 2, 2015, the Philippine Department of Energy (“DOE”) granted a force majeure on SC 72 because the contract area falls within the territorial disputed area of the West Philippine Sea. Under the terms of the force majeure, all exploration work at SC 72 was immediately suspended until the DOE notified PXP that it could re-commence exploration. On October 16, 2020, FEL received a letter from the DOE lifting the force majeure and directing FEL to resume exploration activities on SC 72. On April 11, 2022, force majeure was once again declared on SC 72 as a result of FEL not receiving clearance from Security, Justice and Peace Coordinating Cluster to proceed after preparations for drilling were underway.
Determination of fair value
The investment in FEL represents an investment in a private company for which there is no active market and for which there are no publicly available quoted market prices.
The Company has classified its investment in FEL as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
For purposes of determining fair value of the investment in FEL, the Company considered valuation techniques described in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement. In respect of the investment in FEL, management considered the fair value of $6,688,809 to be indicative of the fair value of the investment in FEL, as on May 17, 2024, PXP disclosed that the company was undertaking a share swap with Tidemark Holdings Limited (“Tidemark”), whereby PXP would exchange PXP shares for all FEL shares held by Tidemark at a value of $1.17 per share (430,243,903 PXP shares at PHP3.62). This imputed a value of $9,601,766 on the transaction date. The Company re-calculated the volume weighted average price of the PXP shares as at June 30, 2025, resulting in a 30.34% reduction in the fair value from the transaction date. The fair value of the investment is consistent with the re-calculated implied value based on the share swap between PXP and Tidemark, which is a Level 2 input. The share swap transaction closed on March 20, 2025.
Note 10 Segmental Reporting
The Company has one reportable operating segment which is primarily the business of exploration and development of oil and gas and other mineral related opportunities, through companies in which the Company invests.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
(all funds in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
THE FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (“MD&A”) IS PROVIDED AS OF AUGUST 22, 2025 AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2025, AND THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024. THOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRS”) AS ISSUED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (“IASB”).
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this MD&A, including statements regarding the Company’s current funds on hand being able to secure the Company for the foreseeable future, and the Company’s ability to raise new money by way of loans or the issuance of new shares to meet its working capital needs and future plans and objectives of the Company are forward-looking information that involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate; actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information include unforeseen expenses which the Company may incur and which expenses could cause current funds on hand to not be adequate to secure the Company for the foreseeable future, or arrange debt or equity financing if required to meet working capital needs and other risks and uncertainties as disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” herein. The Company has assumed that it will not be incurring significant expenses in the short term other than normal operating expenses which the Company’s parent, PXP Energy Corporation (“PXP”), has indicated that it will fund for the foreseeable future. The reader is also cautioned that should Forum Energy Limited (“FEL”) find it necessary to raise capital to fund its current and future business, the Company’s interest in FEL may be diluted because the Company may not have the resources to participate if provided the opportunity to do so. The reader is also cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, while considered reasonable by the Company at the time, may prove to be incorrect. The Company has no policy for updating forward-looking information beyond the procedures required under applicable securities laws.

SC 72 Recto Bank
FEL’s principal asset is a 70% participating interest in SC 72 (previously Geophysical Survey and Exploration Contract No. 101 (“GSEC 101”)), a petroleum license located in the Recto Bank, offshore west of Palawan Island, the Philippines. The remaining 30% of SC 72 is owned by Monte Oro Resources & Energy Inc., a company incorporated in the Philippines, which is involved in a joint venture with FEL with respect to SC 72.
On February 15, 2010, the GSEC 101 license was converted to SC 72, and FEL immediately conducted geological and geophysical works to further evaluate the block and fulfill its commitment to the government. SC 72 covers 8,800 square kilometers, which is 85% of the area covered by GSEC 101.
Exploration in the area began in 1970, and in 1976, gas was discovered in the Sampaguita structure following the drilling of a well. To date, a total of three wells have been drilled at the southwest end of the structure. Two of the wells tested gas at rates warranting further exploration.
In early 2011, FEL acquired 2,202 line-km of 2D seismic, gravity, and magnetic data over SC 72 to further define previously mapped leads. Also, 565 square kilometers of 3D seismic data were acquired over the Sampaguita Field (the “Sampaguita 3D”). These fulfilled the Consortium’s minimum work obligation under Sub-Phase (“SP”) 1.
Based on a technical evaluation conducted by Weatherford Petroleum Consultants in 2012, the Sampaguita Field is estimated to contain 2.6 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of in-place contingent gas resources and 5.4 TCF of prospective gas resources.
The 2D seismic data were reprocessed in 2013 and were subsequently interpreted, aided by gravity-magnetics data that were analyzed by Fugro and Cosine Ltd. (“Cosine”) in 2012 and 2015, respectively. In 2015, Arex Energy produced a report on the North Bank Prospect, located northwest of the Sampaguita Field, and estimated the prospective resources to be significant enough to continue with the exploration of the concession.
In October 2018, FEL started the Broadband Pre-Stack Depth Migration (“PSDM”) reprocessing of the Sampaguita 3D seismic data with DownUnder GeoSolutions (“DUG”), a company based in Perth, Australia, as contractor. The reprocessing work was completed in June 2019.
In November 2018, the governments of the Philippines and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation on Oil and Gas Development (“MOU”). In October 2019, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (“DFA”) announced that the Philippines and China had officially convened an Intergovernmental Steering Committee to supervise projects under the two countries’ joint oil and gas exploration in the West Philippine Sea. However, after a series of meetings, the two parties failed to reach an agreement, and in June 2022, the negotiations were officially ended.
On October 16, 2020, FEL received notice from the Philippine Department of Energy (“DOE”) that the Force Majeure (“FM”) imposed on SC 72 on December 15, 2014, was lifted with immediate effect and that FEL was to resume exploration activities on SC 72. FEL has 20 months from the date of lifting of the FM to drill two (2) commitment wells. The total cost of drilling these wells depends on a number of factors. The Company’s management estimates the total work to be between US$70 million and US$100 million. It is important to note that, to date, there has been no announcement of any agreement between FEL and CNOOC in relation to SC 72.

Since then, the 2021 and 2022 WP&B for SC 72 was approved by the DOE. Preparations for drilling activities, including the purchase of long lead items (“LLIs”), the requisition for other materials, and the signing up of technical services, were undertaken for the conduct of geophysical and geotechnical surveys and the drilling of wells Sampaguita 4 and Sampaguita 5 starting the second quarter of 2022.
On April 6, 2022, FGL as operator under SC 72, received a directive from the DOE to put on hold all exploration activities for SC 72 until such time that the Security, Justice, and Peace Coordinating Cluster (“SJPCC”) has issued the necessary clearance to proceed. On April 11, 2022, as a result of not receiving the necessary clearance, Force Majeure was once again declared on SC 72.
On May 27, 2022, FGL, on behalf of the SC 72 Joint Venture, and Nido Petroleum Philippines Pty Ltd (“Nido”), Operator of SC 54 and SC 6B, signed a Term Sheet in which Nido agreed to purchase most of the SC 72 LLIs, such as wellheads, casings and accessories, conductor, drill bits, etc., for $ 2.9 million, to be paid in installments within a twelve (12)-month period. A Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Nido was executed on June 10, 2022 to formalize the transaction.
In June 2022, media outlets reported that the MOU between China and the Philippines had been terminated although media outlets also reported that discussions would continue on joint exploration of SC 72.
On October 11, 2022, the DOE granted FGL the following: (i) the Declaration of Force Majeure for SC 72 from April 6, 2022, until such time as the same is lifted by the DOE, (ii) the inclusion of total expenses incurred as a result of the DOE directive to suspend activities as part of the approved recoverable costs, subject to DOE audit, and (iii) in addition to the period in item (i) above, FGL will be entitled to an extension of the exploration period under SC 72 corresponding to the number of days that the contractors actually spent in preparation for the activities that were suspended by the DOE’s suspension order on April 6, 2022.
On March 20, 2023, the DOE further affirmed that the entire period from when the Force Majeure was lifted to when it was re-imposed (October 14, 2020 to April 6, 2022) will be credited back to SC 72. Consequently, once the Force Majeure is lifted, FGL will have 20 months to drill the two commitment wells, equivalent to the remaining term of SP 2 of SC 72 before October 14, 2020.
In May 2023, an amendment to the SPA between FGL and Nido was signed, granting Nido an extension to settle the remaining balance of the SC 72 LLIs’ purchase price. Following Nido’s full payment of the balance in early October 2023, FGL and Nido executed a Deed of Absolute Sale, finalizing the transfer of ownership of the LLIs to Nido.
On January 8, 2025, FEL submitted a proposed WP&B for 2025 to the DOE, with only License Administration costs and SC payments classified as firm budgets. The implementation of the Sub-Phase 2 work commitment comprising the drilling of two wells, will be contingent upon the lifting of the force majeure imposed by the DOE in April 2022.

SC 40 North Cebu
A 100% operating interest in SC 40 is held by FEPC’s 66.67% owned subsidiary FEI.
SC 40 is located in the Visayan Basin in the central part of the Philippine Archipelago and covers an area of 340,000 hectares in the northern part of Cebu Island and adjacent offshore areas. It contains the Libertad Gas Field and several prospects and leads.
In June 2022, FEI contracted a drilling consultant to prepare drilling programs and budgets for two wells, one of which will be located in the Dalingding Prospect, a reef structure defined by seismic with the Late Miocene to Pliocene-age Barili Limestone as the primary target. A well, Dalingding-1, was drilled on this structure in 1996 and was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole with minor gas shows after reaching a total depth of 1,508 ft. FEI’s re-evaluation of the prospect concluded that the Dalingding-1 well did not reach the Barili target, which is currently estimated at 480 ft below the well’s final depth. FEI proposes drilling a new well to a depth of 4,000 ft to reach the Barili Limestone and secondary targets underneath.
In August 2022, FEI contracted a third party to dispose the Hycalog Rig and ancillary equipment stored in Brgy. Maya, Daanbantayan, Cebu Province. The sale process started on September 13, 2022, of which a Luzon-based company offered the highest bid. The pullout of the items began in December 2022, and was completed in June 2023.
An independent technical evaluation involving a review of available data, project risk assessment, and project economics of the Maya and Dalingding Prospects started in the first quarter of 2023. The results indicate that deterministic and probabilistic volumetric estimates for the Dalingding Prospect show mean resources of 10 billion cubic feet (“BCF”) for a Gas Case and 3.5 million barrels (”MMBO”) for an Oil Case. The study was completed in March 2024.
As part of the Social Development Program commitment of SC 40 with the DOE, FEI conducted a school donation drive on September 1, 2023, at the Maya National High School in Daanbantayan, Cebu. A total of 1,050 school kits, consisting of basic study materials such as notebooks, pad papers, pens, pencils, water bottles, etc., were assembled for the students of the school. Some teaching materials were also given to the faculty.
On January 3, 2024, the DOE approved the work program and budget for 2024 that includes the conduct of a magnetotelluric (“MT”) survey over the Dalingding Prospect. The survey aims to define the top of the carbonate target and help determine its depth from surface. The results will be used to further refine the Dalingding-2 drilling program.
MT equipment testing and data acquisition in Daanbantayan, Cebu commenced on June 14, 2024, and was completed on September 2, 2024. A total of 30 stations were acquired on two parallel lines oriented in a NW-SE direction, and 20 stations on one perpendicular line oriented in a NE-SW direction.

|---|
The MT survey set-up consisted of four electric field probes buried in north, east, west, and south directions, connected to a car battery-powered ADU-07e (recording unit) via a 20-50m cable. Daily data acquisition ran at one station per day for an average of 6 hours and 46 minutes. A quick quality control check was conducted at the end of the day to identify any potential issues or errors in the acquired data and to pinpoint stations that require resurveying.
On December 23, 2024, the proposed WP&B for 2025 was submitted to the DOE. It has a firm program that includes the continuation and finalization of the MT survey data processing and interpretation, and the technical re-evaluation of the Dalingding prospect, wherein the MT data will be integrated to existing geologic, geophysical, and well data. The DOE approved the 2025 WP&B on January 7, 2025.
The processing and interpretation of MT data was completed in April 2025. The results successfully mapped the presence of a reef boundary, presumably the Barili Limestone, identified through sharp resistivity contrasts with surrounding formations. However, the interpreted reef depth and thickness of the overlying seal vary, possibly due to data interpolation effects, as a significant amount of cultural noise had to be removed during the interpretation process.
A data integration study was carried out by FEI following receipt of the MT report, which was completed in June 2025. The subsurface resistivity data derived from the MT method show that resistivity can vary laterally within a formation, reflecting the differences in its physical properties. When combined with other geophysical methods, MT data can provide a more comprehensive understanding of subsurface geology. The study also concludes that, while seismic remains the primary tool for defining prospect structures, MT-derived resistivity can aid in predicting porosity and fluid type within seismically delineated geologic bodies. By integrating data from multiple geophysical tools and sources, the porosity distribution on the Barili Limestone surface was successfully estimated and mapped.
SC 14 C-1 Galoc
Block C-1 Galoc has an area of 164 square kilometers and contains the Galoc Oil Field, which has already produced about 24.8 MMBO since it was put on stream in October 2008.
Gross production for 2024 averaged 1,224 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) from 1,377 BOPD in 2023. For 2024, there have been three liftings completed. The first lifting was completed on February 1, 2024, with a cargo size of 196,826 barrels, the second on April 29 with cargo size of 112,372 barrels, and the third commenced on September 30 and was completed on October 1, 2024, with a cargo size of 188,970 barrels.
For the first half of 2025, Galoc produced 204,503 barrels of oil, or an average of 1,130 BOPD, compared to 1,255 BOPD in the first half of 2024 . This represents a 10.5% decline year-on-year. Two (2) liftings, totaling 280,742 barrels, were carried out in 1H 2025. The first lifting was completed on February 28, 2025, with a cargo size of 157,381 barrels; the second on June 1, 2025, with a cargo size of 123,361 barrels. A third and final lifting is being planned by the end of November with a cargo size of 196,000 barrels +/- 10%.

The field's profitability is expected to continue over the next 2-3 years, subject to effective cost management, operational efficiency, high oil prices, and sustained performance of the remaining production wells, Galoc-5 and Galoc-6. FEPC has a 3.2103% participating interest in the block.
On May 7, 2020, GPC informed the DOE of the cessation of operations for Galoc Field, starting September 24, 2020. This followed GPC’s receipt of a Notice of Termination from Rubicon Offshore International (“ROI”), the owner of the floating production storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessel, Rubicon Intrepid. GPC also requested approval of the initial drawdown from the fund set-up under the DOE-approved Galoc Decommissioning Plan (“DP”) for implementing the field suspension plan. However, in September 2020, the Galoc Joint Venture (“JV”) negotiated with ROI to sell the Rubicon Intrepid, allowing the Galoc Field to continue production beyond the original cessation schedule of September 24, 2020. Tamarind Resources, the owner of GPC, established a subsidiary, Philippines Upstream Infrastructure (“PUI”), to acquire the FPSO from ROI. GPC and ROI then signed a Transition Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) contract enabling ROI’s crew to manage FPSO operations during a six-month transition period. Following this, GPC entered into a 24-month O&M contract with Three60 Energy, an energy services provider, to take over FPSO operations after the transition period.
On September 14, 2020, Galoc Production Company 2 (“GPC2”) withdrew from SC 14C-1 and the Joint Operating Agreement, with the withdrawal becoming effective on December 16, 2020. The majority of the remaining members absorbed GPC2’s interest, including FEPC, which increased its participation from 2.27575% to 3.2103%.
On December 23, 2020, GPC resigned as the SC 14C-1 operator, and the JV elected GPC’s affiliate, NPG Pty Limited (“NPG”), as its replacement.
On February 1, 2021, Three60 Energy formally assumed operational control of the FPSO, now called Intrepid Balanghai, following the transition period with ROI from September 2020 to January 2021.
In June 2021, the DOE requested that NPG prepare a new decommissioning plan (“DP”) for Galoc Field’s eventual closure. This DP updated the 2016 Abandonment Plan and the 2020 Suspension & Abandonment Plan, both of which had received DOE approval. Submitted on July 30, 2021, the DP outlines the scope and estimated costs of final field decommissioning, including the FPSO, subsea equipment, and production wells. The total decommissioning cost is projected at $24 million, with $9.5 million allocated for FPSO disconnection and subsea equipment abandonment and $14.5 million for permanent plugging and abandonment (“P&A”) of the production wells.
In January 2023, Matahio Energy completed the acquisition of NPG, which operates the Galoc Field, and PUI, which owns the FPSO Intrepid Balanghai. In March 2023, ownership of the FPSO was transferred directly from PUI to NPG. Following this transfer, NPG (acting as a corporate entity and not in its capacity as SC 14C-1 Joint Venture Participant) entered into a new bareboat charter with the other JV Partners, including FEPC, for the purpose of continuing production operations at the Galoc Field.

In December 2023, the DOE released Department Circular (“DC”) no. 2023-12-0033 on the awarding of Development and Production Petroleum Service Contracts (“DP PSC”) through direct negotiations. It took effect on January 3, 2024. The DP PSC covers expiring service contracts but with ongoing production or producible petroleum reserves as validated by the DOE. It will have an initial term aligned with the period necessary to produce the recoverable oil or gas reserves declared in the DOE-approved Plan of Development (“POD”). The contract may also be subject to renewal for an additional period based on mutually agreed terms and conditions.
SC 14C-1 qualifies for the issuance of a new DP PSC to continue production beyond December 2025, which is the end of the SC’s term. The documents for the DP PSC application were submitted to the Office of the President of the Philippines in Malacañang in July 2025 and are currently under final review pending approval and signing.
The new DP PSC for Galoc will allow the Consortium to continue operations, with the field expected to remain profitable over the next two (2) to three (3) years. This outlook is contingent on effective cost management, operational efficiency, sustained well performance, and favorable oil prices. The current SC 14C-1 is set to expire on December 17, 2025.
SC 14C-2 West Linapacan
Block C-2 has an area of 176.5 square kilometers and contains the West Linapacan A and B structures. The Consortium headed by The Philodrill Corporation (“Philodrill”) continues with its evaluation of the viability of redeveloping the West Linapacan A Field, which was discovered in 1990 and produced around 8.5 MMBO from 1992 before being shut-in in 1996.
In 2018, Philodrill completed the mapping and interpretation of reprocessed 3D seismic data, focusing on the West Linapacan B structure, which was drilled in 1991. The SC 14C-2 and SC 74 Consortia conducted joint Rock Physics and QI studies in 2019 using existing 3D seismic and well data, with Ikon Science completing the initial phase in October 2019. However, only the SC 74 JV proceeded with the second phase of the QI Study.
In September 2021, the Consortium began a technical study on the West Linapacan B Field, including geologic data review, well log digitization, reservoir modeling, and resource estimation. Phase 1, completed in November 2021, indicated that a stand-alone development for West Linapacan B was not economically viable. Phase 2 explored a joint development of the West Linapacan A and B Fields, concluding that feasibility depended on recoverable reserves, development costs, production rates, and oil prices.

On October 20, 2022, Nido Petroleum, a current member of the SC 14C-2 Consortium, submitted a proposal to drill a well and to conduct an EWT on West Linapacan A in exchange for acquiring an additional 62.721% of the Filipino partners’ current participating interest. Under the proposal, Nido will have a post-farm-in interest of 85% while the Filipino partners will retain 15%. On October 28, 2022, the Filipino partners submitted a counter-proposal for sharing the proceeds during production. A draft Farm-in Agreement/Heads of Agreement has been prepared and, as of September 30, 2024, remains under Nido’s consideration.
On December 20, 2024, Philodrill submitted the WP&B for 2025 to the DOE. The firm program includes the preparation of a plan and design study for a new well, West Linapacan A-7, as well as a POD for the West Linapacan A Field. On July 4, 2025, the Consortium commissioned Three60 Energy, the current Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) contractor for the Galoc Field, to prepare the POD, which is expected to be completed by early October 2025.
The current term of SC 14C-2 is set to expire on December 17, 2025. Prior to that date, the Consortium plans to surrender the license and apply for a DP PSC, as the block qualifies due to the declared reserves in the West Linapacan A Field.
Octon Block (former SC 6A)
In 2018, Philodrill completed the seismic interpretation/mapping work on the northern sector of the block using the PSDM 3D volume. The evaluation focused on the Malajon, Salvacion, and Saddle Rock prospects. The Malajon and Saddle Rock closures were previously tested by wells that encountered good oil shows in the Galoc Clastic Unit (“GCU”) interval. However, no drill stem tests were conducted in this interval due to operational constraints. A seismic attribute analysis of the prospects was completed the following year, aimed at characterizing the target reservoirs and determining their distribution in terms of porosity, thickness, and lithology.
In June 2020, LMKR, a private petroleum technology company based in Dubai, completed a pilot study on the Malajon area using 3D seismic and well data. The study shows the Malajon structure has good hydrocarbon potential and thus requires further detailed analysis. LMKR also identified four (4) sand packages within the GCU after generating several elastic properties (P-impedance, Vp/Vs, etc.).
A more detailed Quantitative Interpretation (“QI”) study was approved by the JV aimed at generating pay probability maps and identifying prospective zones that could be targeted for any future wells. It also included detailed attribute analysis as several channelized sands within the GCU have been identified during the pilot study. An amended WP&B for 2020 to cover this additional study was approved by the DOE in July 2020. The LMKR report was submitted to the DOE in July 2021.
SC 6A had an original term set to expire on February 28, 2024, leaving the Consortium with limited time to drill an exploratory well and to develop a field in case of a discovery. In view of this, the Consortium decided to surrender the contract effective March 31, 2021, and subsequently re-apply for a new contract under the Philippine Conventional Energy Contracting Program (“PCECP”) on area nomination.
The surrender of the SC was approved by the DOE on September 5, 2022. Subsequently on March 17, 2023, Philodrill submitted to the DOE the application documents for a new SC, which the DOE has since designated as Nominated Area No. 10. FEPC will have a participating interest of 6.8439% in the new SC.
| 9 |
|---|
On May 15, 2023, during a preliminary review, the DOE confirmed the completeness of the technical, legal, and financial documents submitted by the JV in support of the SC application.
On June 26, 2023, the DOE sent a Notice of Qualification of the Consortium to Enter a Petroleum Service Contract for Nominated Area No. 10 to Philodrill. The JV has since signed the SC and is awaiting the signatures of the Secretary of the DOE and the Philippine President for the awarding of the SC. It will have an area of 1,320 sq. km, which includes the former SC 6A and additional areas relinquished from the adjacent SC 74 in 2022.
Upon award of this new SC, the first sub-phase will focus on further subsurface works in addition to the G&G studies conducted by the former SC 6A JV. These activities aim to establish a final well location and design for the Malajon Prospect and to appraise the Octon Discovery.
Cadlao Block (former SC 6B Bonita)
SC 6B had an area of 567 sq. km and contains the Cadlao Oil Field. The field was discovered in 1977 and produced about 11 MMBO from two subsea production wells from 1981-1991. The remaining recoverable reserves are estimated at 3.7 MMBO for proven reserves (1P) and 5.7 MMBO for proven plus probable reserves (2P) based on a 2012 study by Gaffney, Cline & Associates, Inc. Additionally, near Cadlao lies the East Cadlao Prospect, with estimated recoverable resources of 1.48 MMBO at the P10 level, and 1.17 MMBO at the P50 level.
In December 2021, Nido submitted a farm-in proposal to the JV to increase its participating interest in SC 6B from 9.09% to 72.727% and take over the operatorship of the Service Contract. A farm-in agreement (“FIA”) was later executed on February 11, 2022, with FEPC’s interest being reduced to 2.4546% from 8.182% in exchange for the said carry in Cadlao’s development costs. Under the FIA, Nido will fund 100% of the drilling of a well, Cadlao-4, the conduct of an extended well test (“EWT”), and the subsequent development of the Cadlao Field.
Nido proposes a two-phase redevelopment consisting of
| · | Phase 1: A 3 to 9-month EWT using a new single deviated well (Cadlao-4), a mobile offshore production unit (“MOPU”), and either a floating storage and offloading (“FSO”) vessel or a shuttle tanker; and |
|---|---|
| · | Phase 2: Further development of the EWT well and additional wells potentially substituting the MOPU for a small wellhead platform (“WHP”) and storage barge. |
In April 2022, RISC completed an independent assessment of the Cadlao Field. Overall, RISC supports the redevelopment as an economic opportunity although costs will have to be carefully controlled.
The Deed of Assignment (“DOA”) of Participating Interest to Nido and the revised 2022 WP&B were submitted to the DOE on April 11, 2022. The WP&B includes the drilling of Cadlao-4 and the conduct of an EWT. However, the spud date of the well will depend on rig and FSO unit availability. The DOA was approved on December 19, 2022.
| 10 |
|---|
From November 28 to December 1, 2022, Nido conducted a geophysical site survey at Cadlao using the vessel Cassandra VI. The purpose of the survey was to identify the possible constraints and hazards on the seafloor where the Cadlao-4 well will be located.
On November 15, 2023, Nido and PNOC Exploration Corporation (“PNOC EC”) signed a FIA that provides for PNOC EC’s acquisition of a 20% participating interest in the block, including sharing the cost of drilling and EWT for the Cadlao-4 well. While PNOC EC’s participation was approved by the Consortium, the formal transfer and assignment of the 20% interest from Nido to PNOC EC shall be subject to the approval of DOE.
Nido had initially identified a drillship to drill the Cadlao-4 well, although it still requires equipment modifications. However, due to safety concerns about using a drillship at a water depth of 93.7 m, a jack-up rig is now being considered for both drilling and the EWT. Nido is currently reviewing the contract for the jack-up rig.
On January 5, 2024, the Consortium sent to DOE its letter of intent to apply for a DP PSC before the end of SC 6B’s production term. On January 26, 2024, Nido submitted the application documents for a DP PSC over the former SC 6B block and additional open areas. These documents include a copy of the POD for the Cadlao Field. The new SC will replace SC 6B, which expired on February 28, 2024. The Consortium is now awaiting final approval of the application from the Office of the President.
SC 14A (Nido), SC 14B (Matinloc) & SC 14B-1 (N. Matinloc)
Production in the Nido and Matinloc Fields was terminated permanently on March 13, 2019, after producing 22,173 barrels of oil from January to March 2019. The Nido Field accounted for 93.06% of the total while Matinloc Field contributed 6.94%. Shell Philippines was the sole buyer of the crude during the period.
Nido started oil production in 1979 while Matinloc was put in place in 1982. The final inception-to-date production figures for the two fields are 18,917,434 barrels for Nido and 12,582,585 barrels for Matinloc. The North Matinloc Field, which was in production from 1988 to 2017, produced a total of 649,765 barrels of oil. The total production for the three (3) fields is 32,149,784 barrels.
Seven (7) production wells in Nido (3 out of 5), Matinloc (3), and North Matinloc (1) were successfully P&A from April to May 2019. The P&A of the remaining Nido wells, A1 and A2, were only partially abandoned due to difficulties encountered during operations.
Following the suspension of field operations and the P&A of most of the wells in March 2019, Philodrill conducted the stripping and disposal of equipment and materials aboard the production platforms from June to October 2019. In December 2019, all production platforms were turned over to the DOE. On June 26, 2020, the DOE signed a Deed of Donation and Acceptance with the Department of National Defense to formalize the transfer of ownership of the Nido and Matinloc platforms to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, which will now use the platforms for defense purposes.

The P&A of the remaining Nido production wells, A-1 and A-2 wells was completed on October 5, 2020. This was initially scheduled in April 2020 but had to be deferred due to COVID-19 related health and travel restrictions.
With the completion of P&A of all production wells, a Notice to Surrender the SC 14A, 14B, 14B-1, Tara, and SC 14D blocks was sent to the DOE on February 16, 2021. This was approved by the DOE on May 18, 2022.
Forum Energy Objectives and Strategy
The core objective of FEL is to maximize the potential of its investments and its current licences to generate income, whilst at the same time continuing to reduce administrative expenses.
FEL plans to achieve this by:
| · | Development of SC 72 |
|---|
| · | Continued review of exploration blocks to identify potential drilling targets |
| · | Continued review of administrative expenses |
For further details regarding FEL, see its 2023 financial statement package at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/05411224/filing-history ****
Please note that FEL is not required to file its financial statement package with Companies House in the UK until September 30 following the end of its fiscal year which is December 31. Accordingly, the FEL financial statement package for 2024 is not expected to be available until Q3 of 2025.
Risk factors specific to FEL
The Company is exposed to certain risk factors which are specific to its investment in FEL. These include the following:
On October 16, 2020, FEL received notice from the DOE that the FM imposed on SC 72 on December 15, 2014 was lifted with immediate effect and that FEL was to resume exploration activities on SC 72. Under the current work program commitments, FEL was given 20 months from the date of lifting of the FM to drill two commitment wells. The total cost of drilling these wells depends on a number of factors. The Company’s management estimates the total work to be between $70 million and $100 million. It is important to note that, to date, there has been no announcement of any agreement between FEL and CNOOC in relation to the implementation of the MOU involving SC 72. The risk therefore exists that should FEL not be able to meet its commitments to the DOE, it may have to surrender its rights to SC 72 and pay a penalty equivalent to the minimum financial commitment of the current sub-phase.
| 12 |
|---|
On April 6, 2022, FEL as operator under SC 72, received a directive from the DOE to put on hold all exploration activities for SC 72 until such time that the Security, Justice, and Peace Coordinating Cluster (“SJPCC”) has issued the necessary clearance to proceed. On April 11, 2022, as a result of not receiving the necessary clearance, Force Majeure was once again declared on SC 72.
In June 2022, media outlets reported that the MOU between China and the Philippines had been terminated although media outlets also reported that discussions would continue on joint exploration of SC 72.
On October 11, 2022, the DOE granted FGL the following: (i) the Declaration of Force Majeure for SC 72 from April 6, 2022, until such time as the same is lifted by the DOE, (ii) the inclusion of total expenses incurred as a result of the DOE directive to suspend activities as part of the approved recoverable costs, subject to DOE audit, and (iii) in addition to the period in item (i) above, FGL will be entitled to an extension of the exploration period under SC 72 corresponding to the number of days that the contractors actually spent in preparation for the activities that were suspended by the DOE’s suspension order on April 6, 2022.
On March 20, 2023, the DOE further affirmed that the entire period from when the Force Majeure was lifted to its re-imposition (October 14, 2020 to April 6, 2022) would be credited back to SC 72. Once the Force Majeure is lifted, FGL will have 20 months to drill the two commitment wells, equivalent to the remaining term of Sub-Phase 2 of SC 72 before October 14, 2020.
| · | FEL’s cash inflows is heavily dependent on the Galoc Field production, which continued to operate beyond the original cessation date of September 24, 2020, following an agreement the previous operator GPC signed with ROI, the owner of the FPSO Rubicon Intrepid. The viability of continued production depends on the consistent output of the producing wells as well as the price of oil. |
|---|---|
| · | FEL’s operations do not generate sufficient cash to fund new exploration work in Galoc and its other blocks; therefore, in the event FEL issued new capital to fund these costs, the Company’s interest in FEL may be diluted. |
| · | FEL is a closely held private company and there is a limited population of potential buyers for FEC’s relatively small interest in FEL. |
| · | FEL’s interest in its main asset SC 72 could be diluted depending on the agreement reached, if any, with potential farm-in partners in the future. |
| · | Further exploration work has to be completed on SC 72 and SC 40 to confirm the value of the resources within these properties. |
On March 10, 2022, the Company announced that it agreed to fund an additional cash call for pre-drilling costs received from FEL in the amount of $198,620. The advance to FEL was via non-interest bearing loans. To fund the $198,620, the Company accepted a loan from PXP for the same amount (“PXP Loan”). The PXP loan bears interest of LIBOR plus 3.5% and both interest and principal are repayable on the earlier of a) August 31, 2025, or b) any equity issuance by FEC, or c) any sale of FEL shares by FEC, or d) any third party borrowing by FEC.
| 13 |
|---|
In October 2023, FEL advised the Company of its intent to complete a $3,000,000 fund raising to repay its loan from PXP and for general working capital purposes. FEC agreed to participate in its pro-rata 6.8% share amounting to $204,000 through additional loans from PXP on the same terms and conditions as previous advances.
On December 21, 2023, $626,820 of advances made to FEL by the Company were converted to shares in FEL at a price of $0.30 per share. The $626,820 conversion into FEL shares represented 6.8% of $9,217,939 of debt settled by FEL.

Results of Operations
The accounts show a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $176,223, or $0.00 per share, versus a loss of $101,659 for the same period in 2024.
The higher net loss was mainly due to an increase in interest expense on the loan from PXP which was $34,705 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $28,911 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and also due to higher professional fees (legal and auditing) incurred during the quarter offset by lower listing fees since the AGM was rescheduled on a later date.
| 14 |
|---|
General and administration expense were $141,518 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 versus $72,748 for the same period in 2024. Overall expenses were higher than those experienced in the previous year. Higher professional fees and higher interest expense on the PXP Loan mainly accounted for the difference. Legal and audit related fees were $83,330 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 versus $11,207 for the same period in the previous year as we engaged professional advice for an in depth review of our strategic options going forward in 2025. Office and miscellaneous costs were $9,101 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 versus $9,353 for the same period in the previous year. The difference was not material. Consulting fees for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $43,206 versus $43,201 for the previous year. The difference was not material. Listing and filing fees were $3,227 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 versus $8,063 for the same period in the previous year. The difference was due to the delay in the holding of the Company’s annual general meeting for 2025 which has caused costs to be incurred in the third quarter rather than the second quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, foreign exchange loss was $2,161 versus a loss of $540 for the same period in the previous year. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $34,705 versus $28,911 for the same period in the previous year. The difference was due to the increased interest on the loans from PXP in 2025 as a result of an increase in the overall loan amount. Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2,055,508 versus an income of $7,038,176 for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. The difference was a result of the change in fair value of our investment in FEL.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s current assets were $13,111 at June 30, 2025 versus $14,245 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The difference is mainly a result of the higher cash balance offset by a lower prepaid balance on June 30, 2025. The Company’s assets reflect the investment in FEL on a fair value basis. The fair value of the investment in FEL is stated at $6,688,809 or $0.815 per share.
The investment in FEL represents an investment in a private company for which there is no active market and for which there are no publicly available quoted market prices. The Company has classified its investment in FEL as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
For purposes of determining fair value of the investment in FEL, the Company considered valuation techniques described in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement. In respect of the investment in FEL, management considered the fair value of $6,688,809 to be indicative of the fair value of the investment in FEL, as on May 13, 2024, PXP disclosed that it was undertaking a share swap with Tidemark Holdings Limited (“Tidemark”), whereby PXP would exchange PXP shares for all FEL shares held by Tidemark at a value of US$1.17 per share (430,243,903 PXP shares at PHP3.62). This imputed a value of $9,601,766 on the transaction date. The Company re-calculated the volume weighted average price of the PXP shares as at June 30, 2025, resulting in a 30.34% reduction in the fair value from the transaction date. The fair value of the investment is consistent with the re-calculated implied value based on the May 10, 2024 share swap between PXP and Tidemark, which is a Level 2 input
There were no transfers between Level 2 and the other levels in the hierarchy during 2025 or 2024.

Liquidity
The Company’s working capital deficit at June 30, 2025, was $1,099,222 versus a working capital deficit of $922,999 at December 31, 2024, and shareholders’ equity was $5,589,587 at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $7,645,095). The change was mainly due to the decrease in the valuation of FEL which is an investment in shares of a private company that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. As these shares are not traded in an active market, the valuation of this investment is based on management’s consideration of other observable inputs that are available. For purposes of determining fair value of the investment in FEL, the Company considered valuation techniques described in IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.
Management considers that the current economic environment is difficult and the outlook for oil and gas exploration companies presents significant challenges in terms of raising funds through issuance of shares. Previously, to the extent necessary, the Company disposed of quantities of its shareholdings in FEL to PXP under terms that are consistent with the best interests of all shareholders, in order to finance its operations. In the past, the Company issued new shares under a rights offering scheme to raise new capital to fund its operations but more recently has relied on loans from PXP.
Management currently believes that it is in the best interest of all shareholders that management explores the issuance of new shares or debt to fund its future operations.
The continuation of the Company is dependent upon its ability to raise funds via dispositions of quantities of its shareholdings in FEL to PXP under terms that are consistent with the best interests of shareholders, or obtain loans from PXP. Also, the Company may issue new shares to PXP and/or other third parties.
The Company is not required to directly contribute capital to any of the projects in which it has an indirect or direct interest.
Cash used in operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2025, was $64,604 versus $31,869 for the same period in 2024 mainly as a result of the differences described above.
Cash provided by financing activity was $70,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus $43,286 for the same period in the previous year. The amount was from loans from PXP.

On March 10, 2022, the Company announced that it agreed to fund an additional cash call for pre-drilling costs received from FEL in the amount of $198,620. The advance to FEL was via non-interest bearing loans. In order to be able to fund the $198,620, the Company received a loan from PXP for the same amount (“PXP Loan”). The PXP Loan bears interest of LIBOR plus 3.5% and both interest and principal are repayable on the earlier of a) August 31, 2025, or b) any equity issuance by FEC, or c) any sale of FEL shares by FEC, or d) any third party borrowing by FEC. PXP advanced an additional $80,000, $356,500, and $155,286 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 to the Company for working capital under the same terms and conditions as the PXP Loan. As at June 30, 2025, the outstanding PXP Loan balance was $1,001,292 (December 31, 2024 - $895,637), which included accrued interest of $140,136 (Decembre 31, 2024 - $105,431). Total interest expense amounted to $34,705 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 (2024 – $28,911).
Subsequent to quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company received an additional loan from PXP amounting to $150,000 for working capital under the PXP Loan.
On July 31, 2025, PXP agreed to convert the PXP Loan amounting to $1,011,155.58 plus accrued interest to July 31, 2025 of $146,604.90 into shares of the Company at $0.0088 per Company share. 131,563,725 common shares of the Company were issued to settle a total of $1,157,760.78 in debt.
Second Quarter
During the second quarter there were no significant events. Other than additional legal and audit related costs for the in depth review of the Company’s strategic options, the Company incurred only basic operating costs. The Company does not experience seasonal fluctuations in its business and there were no dispositions of any business segments.
Capital Resources
Since the Company has no revenue, it will need to continue to raise funds through either debt, equity, or the sale of assets in order to continue its operations or participate in other projects. The Company currently has no plans to sell any more of its FEL shares and will be reliant on debt or equity issuances for future funding requirements.
Since the delisting of FEL from the London Stock Exchange, there is no liquidity via a public market for the FEL shares. As the Company is wholly reliant on the information disclosed by PXP concerning the business of FEL, the Company may not be able to obtain information necessary to facilitate a wider sales process and may be reliant on significant shareholders of PXP for the disposition of any of its FEL shares. Management has looked at all options including raising funds to operate and participate in future FEL financings by way of debt or equity financings. Given the current share price of the Company, and given that any external financings may have been extremely dilutive, the Company has been accepting loans from PXP in order to sustain operations and to maintain its 6.8% interest in FEL.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, short term loans increased by $105,655 as a result of additional working capital advances and accrued interest under the PXP loan. The short term loans were settled through the issuance of common shares on July 31, 2025.

Off balance sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements in existence as of this date.
Transactions with Related Parties
The Company considers its officers (CEO and CFO) and directors to be key management. Key management are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling activities, directly or indirectly, of the Company.
| (i) | During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses included directors’ compensation totaling $24,000 (2024: $24,000). |
|---|---|
| (ii) | As at June 30, 2025, the outstanding PXP Loan balance was $1,001,292 (December 31, 2024 - $895,637), which included accrued interest of $140,136 (December 31, 2024 - $105,431). Total interest expense for the quarter was $34,705. |
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income/loss in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
The determination of the fair value of the Company’s investment in FEL is a significant accounting estimate.
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective
The Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. IFRS Accounting Standards represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations effective as of June 30, 2025.
New IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations or changes to existing standards with future effective dates are either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
| - | Market Risk |
|---|
| - | Credit Risk |
| - | Liquidity Risk |
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout this management discussion and analysis.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in the note below.
General Objectives, Policies and Procedures
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Board of Directors receive quarterly reports from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board 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 that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity and commodity price risk. | | b) | Foreign currency exchange risk |
| | The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations for general and administrative transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars. The majority of the Company’s cash is kept in U.S. dollars. As at June 30, 2025, the Company had an insignificant amount of cash denominated in Canadian dollars that was subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As at June 30, 2025, the Company held financial liabilities of $59,292 that are denominated in Canadian dollars that would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars. |
| 19 |
|---|
| c) | Credit risk |
|---|
| | The Company maintains cash deposits in one chartered Canadian bank which, from time to time, exceed the amount of depositors insurance available in each respective account. Management assesses the financial condition of this bank and believes that the possibility of any credit loss is minimal. The maximum exposure of credit risk is the Company’s cash deposit of $12,102 (December 31, 2024: $5,756). | | d) | Liquidity risk |
| | Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company does not generate cash from operations but rather, the Company will, from time to time, issue shares via equity placements, borrow funds from an affiliated company or undertake to sell a portion of its investment in the shares of FEL should it be necessary to raise funds. | | | At this time, the Company has no new business plans and if it continues to act as a holding company of FEL shares, there is a risk it will receive no return from that investment unless alternate sources of funding are found. | | | The Company manages liquidity by maintaining cash balances available to meet its anticipated operational needs. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flow to ensure that there is adequate capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its growth plans. As at March 31, 2025, the Company’s trade and accrued payables were $60,317, all of which fall due for payment within twelve months of the date of the statement of financial position. | | | The carrying values of trade and accrued payables and short-term loans approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments. | | | Liquidity risk is assessed as high | | e) | Dilution risk |
| | As discussed elsewhere in this MD&A, there is a risk of continued dilution of the Company’s interest in FEL should it either need to sell shares of FEL to raise operating funds, or not participate in any future share issuance financings undertaken by FEL. Currently there are no plans to sell any of the Company’s FEL shares to fund operations. There is a risk that shareholders may be diluted should the Company need to raise additional operating funds through debt or equity financings. |
| 20 |
|---|
Other Risk Factors
As a holding company with an interest in FEL, the Company’s business is indirectly subject to risks inherent in oil and gas exploration and development operations. In addition, there are risks associated with FEL’s stage of operations and the foreign jurisdiction in which it or FEL may operate or invest. The Company has identified certain risks pertinent to its investment including: exploration and reserve risks, uncertainty of reserve estimates, ability to exploit successful discoveries, drilling and operating risks, title to properties, costs and availability of materials and services, capital markets and the requirement for additional capital, market perception, loss of or changes to production sharing, joint venture or related agreements, economic and sovereign risks, possibility of less developed legal systems, corporate and regulatory formalities, environmental regulation, reliance on strategic relationships, market risk, competition, dependence on key personnel, volatility of future oil and gas prices and foreign currency risk.
Since the delisting of FEL from the London Stock Exchange, there is no liquidity via a public market for the FEL shares. As the Company is wholly reliant on the information disclosed by PXP concerning the business of FEL, the Company may not be able to obtain information necessary to facilitate a wider sales process and may be reliant on significant shareholders of PXP for the disposition of any of its FEL shares. Management has looked at all options including raising funds to operate and participate in future FEL financings by way of debt or equity financings. Given the current share price of the Company, and given that any external financings may been extremely dilutive, the Company continues to receive loans from PXP in order to continue operations and to maintain its 6.8% interest in FEL. There is no guarantee these loans will continue and the Company does not currently have any way to pay these loans back.
On April 6, 2022, FEL as operator under SC 72, received a directive from the DOE to put on hold all exploration activities for SC 72 until such time that the Security, Justice and Peace Coordinating Cluster (“SJPCC”) has issued the necessary clearance to proceed. On April 11, 2022, as a result of not receiving the necessary clearance, Force Majeure was once again declared on SC 72 casting substantial doubt on the future of SC 72 and the Company’s 6.8 percent interest in FEL.
In June 2022, media outlets reported that the MOU between China and the Philippines on joint exploration of the West Philippine Sea had been terminated although also reporting that both sides were going to continue with discussions on joint exploration.
On October 11, 2022, the DOE granted FGL the following: (i) the Declaration of Force Majeure for SC 72 from April 6, 2022, until such time as the same is lifted by the DOE, (ii) the inclusion of total expenses incurred as a result of the DOE directive to suspend activities as part of the approved recoverable costs, subject to DOE audit, and (iii) in addition to the period in item (i) above, FGL will be entitled to an extension of the exploration period under SC 72 corresponding to the number of days that the contractors actually spent in preparation for the activities that were suspended by the DOE’s suspension order on April 6, 2022.
On March 20, 2023, the DOE further affirmed that the entire period from when the Force Majeure was lifted to when it was re-imposed (from October 14, 2020 to April 6, 2022) will be credited back to SC 72. Thus, once the Force Majeure is lifted, FGL will have 20 months to drill the two commitment wells, equivalent to the remaining term of Sub-Phase 2 of SC 72 before October 14, 2020.
| 21 |
|---|
On January 8, 2025, FEL submitted a Work Program and Budget (“WP&B”) for 2025 to the DOE, with only License Administration costs and SC payments classified as firm budgets. The implementation of the Sub-Phase 2 work commitment comprising the drilling of two wells, will be contingent upon the lifting of the force majeure imposed by the DOE in April 2022.

Outlook
On April 6, 2022, FEL as operator under SC 72, received a directive from the DOE to put on hold all exploration activities for SC 72 until such time that the Security, Justice and Peace Coordinating Cluster (“SJPCC”) has issued the necessary clearance to proceed. On April 11, 2022, as a result of not receiving the necessary clearance, Force Majeure was once again declared on SC 72.
In June 2022, media outlets reported that the MOU between China and the Philippines on joint exploration of the West Philippine Sea had been terminated although also reporting that both sides were going to continue with discussions on joint exploration.
On October 11, 2022, the DOE granted FGL the following: (i) the Declaration of Force Majeure for SC 72 from April 6, 2022, until such time as the same is lifted by the DOE, (ii) the inclusion of total expenses incurred as a result of the DOE directive to suspend activities as part of the approved recoverable costs, subject to DOE audit, and (iii) in addition to the period in item (i) above, FGL will be entitled to an extension of the exploration period under SC 72 corresponding to the number of days that the contractors actually spent in preparation for the activities that were suspended by the DOE’s suspension order on April 6, 2022.
| 23 |
|---|
On March 20, 2023, the DOE further affirmed that the entire period from when the Force Majeure was lifted to when it was re-imposed (from October 14, 2020 to April 6, 2022) will be credited back to SC 72. Thus, once the Force Majeure is lifted, FGL will have 20 months to drill the two commitment wells, equivalent to the remaining term of Sub-Phase 2 of SC 72 before October 14, 2020.
On January 8, 2025, FEL submitted a Work Program and Budget (“WP&B”) for 2025 to the DOE, with only License Administration costs and SC payments classified as firm budgets. The implementation of the Sub-Phase 2 work commitment comprising the drilling of two wells, will be contingent upon the lifting of the force majeure imposed by the DOE in April 2022.
For SC 40 North Cebu, FEL will continue evaluating the petroleum potential of the Dalingding Prospect. A possible exploration well is under consideration, either by FEI independently or in partnership with another company.
On FEL’s non-operated blocks, new service contracts are expected to be awarded within 2025 over the former SC 6A (Octon) and SC 6B (Cadlao) blocks. The new service contract on Octon will allow the Consortium to continue subsurface studies on the Malajon Prospect and the Octon Discovery. Meanwhile, the DP PSC for Cadlao will support the planned redevelopment of the Cadlao oil field, beginning with the drilling of the Cadlao-4 well and, if successful, the implementation of an extended well test.
FEL anticipates lower revenues from the Galoc Field due to the normal decline in production of the Galoc-5 and Galoc-6 wells, as the field nears the end of its productive life. However, the new DP PSC for Galoc will allow the Consortium to continue operations, with the field expected to remain profitable over the next two (2) to three (3) years. This outlook is contingent on effective cost management, operational efficiency, sustained well performance, and favorable oil prices. The current SC 14C-1 is set to expire on December 17, 2025.
In the West Linapacan Block, a new DP PSC is being planned to replace SC 14C-2, which will expire on the same date. Subject to the results of the ongoing POD study, the new contract will focus on the planned redevelopment of the West Linapacan A Field, beginning with the drilling of one (1) or two (2) production wells.
The Company has limited cash resources and required additional capital to allow it to continue to trade, maintain its 6.8% interest in FEL, or invest in any new projects.
Looking Forward
This discussion contains "forward looking statements" as per Section 21E of the US Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Management is currently reviewing many options and there is no assurance that they will not make decisions other than those now contemplated. The Company is subject to political risks and operational risks identified in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including changing oil prices, unsuccessful drilling results, change of government and political unrest in its main area of operations.
