(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements:
FunctionalCurrency
The functional currency for the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of the functional currency involves certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
Determinationof Cash Generating Units (CGUs)
A CGU is the lowest grouping of integrated assets that generate identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. The allocation of assets into CGUs requires significant judgment and interpretations with respect to the integration between assets, the existence of active markets, similar exposure to market risks, shared infrastructure, and the way in which management monitors the operations.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements:
Oiland Gas Reserves
The company’s estimate of oil and gas reserves is considered in the measurement of depletion, depreciation, impairment, and decommissioning and restoration obligations. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process and involves the exercise of professional judgment. All reserves are evaluated annually, by independent qualified reserves evaluators. Oil and gas reserves estimates are based on a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including projected future rates of production, projected future commodity prices, engineering data, and the timing and amount of future expenditures, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Estimates reflect market and regulatory conditions existing at the evaluation date, which could differ significantly from other points in time throughout the period, or future periods. Changes in market and regulatory conditions and assumptions, as well as climate change, and the evolving worldwide demand for energy and global advancement of alternative sources of energy that are not sourced from fossil fuels can materially impact the estimation of net reserves.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|---|
Allowancefor doubtful accounts
Estimates are inherent in the on-going assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected credit losses. Uncertainty relates to the actual collectability of customer balances that can vary from the Company’s estimation.
AssetRetirement Obligation
The company recognizes obligation for the future decommissioning and restoration of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and oil and gas properties based on estimated future decommissioning and restoration costs. Management applies judgment in assessing the existence and extent as well as the expected method of reclamation of the company’s decommissioning and restoration obligations at the end of each reporting period. Management also uses judgment to determine whether the nature of the activities performed is related to decommissioning and restoration activities or normal operating activities.
Actual costs are uncertain and estimates may vary as a result of changes to relevant laws and regulations related to the use of certain technologies, the emergence of new technology, operating experience, prices and closure plans. The estimated timing of future decommissioning and restoration may change due to certain factors, including reserves life. Changes to estimates related to future expected costs, discount rates, inflation assumptions, and timing may have a material impact on the amounts presented.
Impairmentof Assets
Management applies judgment in assessing the existence of impairment indicators based on various internal and external factors. The recoverable amount of assets is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations. The key estimates the company applies in determining the recoverable amount normally include estimated future commodity prices, discount rates, expected production volumes, future operating and development costs, income taxes, and operating margins. In determining the recoverable amount, management may also be required to make judgments regarding the likelihood of occurrence of a future event. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the recoverable amounts of assets and may then require a material adjustment to their related carrying value.
Share-basedCompensation
The cost of share-based transactions with directors, officers and employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield of the stock option. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the operating result and may then require a material adjustment.

FairValue of Derivative Liability
The Company’s warrants and conversion features with exercise prices denominated in a currency other the Company’s functional currency are recognized as derivatives measured at fair value through the consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Estimating fair value for derivative liability requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the issuance. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield of the derivatives. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the operating result and may then require a material adjustment.
DeferredIncome Tax
Judgments are made by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the likelihood that deferred income tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the Company to make judgments related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognized in consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which the change occurs.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
(d) Revenue Recognition
Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligation(s) by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
PerformanceObligations and Significant Judgments
The Company sells oil and natural gas products in Turkey. The Company enters into contracts that generally include one type of distinct product in variable quantities and priced based on a specific index related to the type of product.
The oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to processors and other third parties for processing and sale to customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the oil is transferred. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the customer upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under the Company’s natural gas contracts with processors, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the processing entity’s system. For the Company’s other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery at the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. In the cases where the Company sells to a processor, the Company has determined that the Company is the principal in the arrangement and the processors are the Company’s customers. The Company recognizes the revenue in these contracts based on the net proceeds received from the processor.

|---|
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 Paragraph 121(a) which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. The Company has no unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period.
The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified. There is a low level of uncertainty due to the precision of measurement and use of index-based pricing with predictable differentials. Additionally, any variable consideration identified is not constrained.
(e) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of oil and gas receivables. The Company has classified these as short-term assets in the consolidated statement of financial position because the Company expects repayment or recovery within the next 12 months. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. The Company deems all accounts receivable to be collectable and has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts.
(f) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Pre-license exploration costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licenses to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets.
Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are charged to exploration expense.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.
When management determines with reasonable certainty that an exploration and evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to oil and gas properties.
(g) Oil and Gas Properties
Oil and gas properties (“O&G”) include exploration and evaluation expenditures, development and productions costs, less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. O&G are grouped into cash generating units for impairment testing. The Company has grouped its O&G into two CGUs: the Cendere Oil Field and SASB Gas Field.
When significant parts of an item of O&G have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).

|---|
Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of O&G are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.
Such capitalized items generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and/or probable reserves and bringing on or enhancing production from such reserves, and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The carrying amount of any replaced or sold component is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of oil ang gas properties are recognized in consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.
The net carrying value of oil and gas properties is depleted using the unit-of-production method by reference to the ratio of production in the year to the related proved reserves, taking into account estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. These estimates are reviewed by independent reservoir engineers at least annually.
(h) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives are: other assets are depreciated over 20 years; and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the lease.
| (i) | Impairment<br> of Non-financial Assets |
|---|
Exploration and evaluation assets, oil and gas properties, and property and equipment are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment immediately prior to being transferred to oil and gas properties. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. These calculations are based on available data, other observable inputs and projections of cash flows, all of which are subject to estimates and assumptions. Recoverable amounts are also sensitive to assumptions about the future usefulness of in-process development and the related marketing rights.
(j) Provisions
Provisions are recognized by the company when it has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are recognized for decommissioning and restoration obligations associated with the company’s exploration and evaluation assets and oil and gas properties. Provisions for decommissioning and restoration obligations are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the future cash flows required to settle the present obligation, using the risk-free interest rate. The value of the obligation is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and amortized over the useful life of the asset. The provision is accreted over time with actual expenditures charged against the accumulated obligation. Changes in the future cash flow estimates resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as a change in the decommissioning and restoration provision and related asset.

(k) Financial Instruments
| (i) | Classification |
|---|
The company classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or at amortized cost. This determination is made at initial recognition. All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the balance sheet, net of any transaction costs except for financial instruments classified as FVTPL, where transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequent measurement of financial instruments is based on their classification. The company classifies its derivative liability and cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL, accounts receivable and notes receivable as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable, loans payable, and convertible notes as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Embedded derivative in other financial instruments or other host contracts are recorded as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract.
| (ii) | Measurement |
|---|
Financialassets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.
Financialassets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Debtinvestments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equityinvestments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
| (iii) | Impairment<br> of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost |
|---|
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

| (iv) | Derecognition |
| --- | --- |
Financialassets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
Financialliabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
| (l) | Income<br> Taxes |
|---|
CurrentIncome Tax:
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
DeferredTax:
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the temporary differences to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted and are expected to apply by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(m) Foreign Currency Translation
Functional currencies of the Company’s individual entities are the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in net earnings. Non-monetary assets that are measured in a foreign currency at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
In preparing the Company’s Financial Statements, the financial statements of each entity are translated into US dollar (“USD”), the presentation currency of the Company. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into USD at exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into USD using foreign average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.
The functional currency of the Company’s Bulgarian operations is the Bulgarian Lev. The functional currency of the Company’s Turkish operations is the Turkish Lira.
Prior to January 1, 2022, the functional currency of Trillion Energy International Inc. was USD. The Company redomiciled from United States to Canada and became a Canadian Company in January 2022, resulting in the parent’s expenditures being denominated primarily in Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the Company being funded primarily from issuance of equity instruments which proceeds are in CAD. As a result, the Company determined that the functional currency of the parent was changed to CAD effective January 1, 2022.
The
Company has accounted for the change in functional currency prospectively with no impact of this change on prior period comparative information. The Company has made an accounting policy choice to reassess the classification of financial instruments as liabilities or equity or vice versa as applicable when the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries changes. The policy will be applied consistently in the future. As a result, certain of the Company’s CAD denominated warrants with a carrying value of $472,899, which previously were classified as a derivative liability as their exercise prices were denominated in a currency other the Company’s previous functional currency, were reclassified to equity effective January 1, 2022. Further, effective January 1, 2022, certain of the Company’s USD denominated warrants with a carrying value of $163,162, which previously were classified as equity instruments, were reclassified to derivative liability as their exercise prices are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s new functional currency.
(n) Stock-Based Compensation
Under the company’s share-based compensation plans, share-based awards may be granted to executives, employees and nonemployee directors.
Stock options that give the holder the right to purchase common shares are accounted for as equity-settled plans. The expense is based on the fair value of the options at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and is recognized over the vesting periods of the respective options. A corresponding increase is recorded to option reserve. Consideration paid to the company on exercise of options is credited to share capital and the associated amount in option reserve is reclassified to share capital.

(o) Unit Offerings
Common shares are classified as equity. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method. The residual method first allocates fair value to the component with the best evidence of fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares, measured on date of issue, was determined to be the component with the best evidence of fair value. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Costs directly identifiable with share capital financings are charged against share capital.
If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a receivable as a contra account to shareholders’ equity.
(p) Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive common shares. The number of shares included is computed using the treasury stock method. As certain instrument can be exchanged for common shares of the Company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the company’s diluted net earnings per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period.
| (q) | Leases |
|---|
At inception of a contract, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset on the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term. Judgment is applied to determine the lease term where a renewal option exists. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. In addition, the right-of-use assets may be reduced by impairment losses or adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments are recognized as an expense when incurred over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, and variable payments that are based on an index or rate.

Cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are presented within the financing activities section and the interest portion of the lease liability is presented within the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Short-term lease payments and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are presented within the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows.
(r) First-time Adoption of IFRS
These Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, are the first the Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company previously prepared its financial statements, up to and including December 31, 2021, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).
Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements that comply with IFRS applicable as at September 30, 2022, together with the comparative period data for the year ended December 31, 2021. In preparing the financial statements, the Company’s opening statement of financial position was prepared as at January 1, 2021, the Company’s date of transition to IFRS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its US GAAP financial statements.
Exemptionsapplied
IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under IFRS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations has not been applied to either acquisitions of subsidiaries that are considered businesses under IFRS, or acquisitions of interests in associates and joint ventures that occurred before January 1, 2021. Use of this exemption means that the US GAAP carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, that are required to be recognized under IFRS, are their deemed cost at the date of the acquisition. After the date of the acquisition, measurement is in accordance with IFRS. Assets and liabilities that do not qualify for recognition under IFRS are excluded from the opening IFRS statement of financial position. The Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities that were not recognized under US GAAP or exclude any previously recognized amounts as a result of IFRS recognition requirements.
The Company has not restated contracts that were completed before January 1, 2021, under IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A completed contract is a contract for which the Company has transferred all of the goods and services identified in accordance with US GAAP.
The Company assessed all contracts existing at January 1, 2021 to determine whether a contract contains a lease based upon the conditions in place as at January 1, 2021 in accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2021. Right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before January 1, 2021. The lease payments associated with leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of transition to IFRS and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value have been recognized as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis. The transition to IFRS 16 did not result in any material impact on the Company’s financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, or operation results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and therefore, no adjustment has been proposed accordingly.

IFRS 1 allows an entity that used full cost accounting under its previous GAAP to elect, at the time of adoption to IFRS, to measure oil and gas assets in the development and production phases by allocating the amount determined under the entity’s previous GAAP for those assets to the underlying assets pro rata using a reasonable method as of that date. The costs of development and production assets have been separately recorded by the Company for each group of assets.
As the Company elected the oil and gas assets IFRS 1 exemption, the asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) exemption available to full cost entities was also elected. This exemption allows for the re-measurement of ARO on IFRS transition with the offset to accumulated deficit.
The Company has elected the IFRS 1 exemption that allows the Company an exemption from applying IFRS 2 “Share-Based Payments” to equity instruments which vested and settled before the Company’s transition date to IFRS.
The Company has elected the IFRS 1 exemption that allows the Company an exemption from applying IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” to financial instruments that were derecognized before the date of transition to IFRS on January 1, 2021.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
|---|---|
| (1) | Exploration<br> and evaluation assets (“E&E assets”) |
| --- | --- |
An adjustment has been made to reclassify the presentation of the Company’s Bulgarian property as exploration and evaluation assets as it is not a property under development or production, in accordance with IFRS.
| (2) | Asset<br> retirement obligation |
|---|
Under
US GAAP, the ARO was discounted at a rate of 10%, as prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under IFRS, the discount rate used is the risk-free rate in effect at the end of each reporting period for the risk-adjusted cash flows. The change in the decommissioning obligation each period as a result of changes in the discount rate will result in an offsetting charge to oil and gas properties. Upon the Company’s transition to IFRS, the impact of this change was a $5,344,798 increase in the ARO with a corresponding increase to the deficit on the consolidated statement of financial position, using an average risk-free rate of 0.93% as at January 1, 2021. As at December 31, 2021, the average risk-free rate was reassessed to be 1.49%.
As
a result of the change in discount rate, the ARO accretion expense decreased by $239,515 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to the lower discount rate.
| (3) | Option<br> reserve and share premium |
|---|
Under
US GAAP, share-based payments were presented as additional paid-in capital. Upon transition to IFRS, a reclassification adjustment has been made to separately present the amount related to share-based compensation of $1,177,099. The remaining additional paid-in capital has been reclassified to share premium.
| (4) | Loss<br> on convertible debt extinguishment |
|---|
Under
US GAAP, when conversion features have been bifurcated from the conversion debt host and accounted for as liabilities, no equity conversion feature remains in the debt instrument. The liabilities for the debt and the conversion feature are extinguished in exchange for common shares, the difference between the carrying value of the liabilities and the fair value of the common shares ae recorded as a gain or loss. IFRS requires the entity to derecognize the liability component and recognize it as equity on conversion of a convertible instrument and no gain or loss is recognized. As a result of the difference between the two accounting standards, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the loss on debt extinguishment decreased by $79,341, with an offsetting charge to equity.
| (5) | Depletion |
|---|
The Company is depleting its oil and gas properties over the proved reserves. IFRS requires an entity to include the estimated future costs to develop the reserves in the calculation of depletion. The calculation of depletion under US GAAP did not include the estimated future development costs as the Company applied Electronic Code of Federal Regulation Title 17 Section 210.4-1, Financial accounting and reporting for oil and gas producing activities pursuant to the Federal securities laws and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, to exclude the estimated future expenditures associated with a major development. As a result, oil and gas properties, net, increased by $181,888 as at December 31, 2021 (January 1, 2021 - $nil). For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the depletion charge included in the consolidated interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss, increased by $151,895.

| (5) | On March 4, 2021,<br>the Company received $500,000 from a third party (the “Lender”) repayable in one year from the date of disbursement. The<br>amount is subject to an interest at a rate of 15% per annum. The Company granted 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants to the lender<br>in conjunction with the loan. The warrants expire in two years and have an exercise price of $0.16 per warrant.

| Balance<br> at the end of period | $ | 8,123,837 | $ | 8,993,108 |
The
Company’s asset retirement obligations (ARO)result from its interest in oil and gas assets including well sites. The total ARO is estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all sites, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon these wells and the estimated timing of the costs to be included in future years. The Company estimated the total undiscounted amount required to settle the ARO as at September 30, 2022 is $8.2 million (December 31, 2021 - $8.2 million). The ARO is calculated using an inflation rate of 2.5% (December 31, 2021 – 2.5%) and discounted using an interest free rate of 3.91% (December 31, 2021 – 1.49%).
12. Convertible Debentures
On
September 30, 2019, the Company closed an unbrokered private placement of convertible debt, issuing $123,095 ($163,000 CAD) in debentures to two investors. The convertible debentures bear interest at 10% per annum, payable annually in advance. They are convertible any time during the term of the debenture into units (each unit consists of one share and one warrant; each warrant can acquire one share at an exercise price of $0.20 USD or $0.25 CAD per share, based on the currency initially subscribed) at a conversion price of $0.12 USD or $0.15 CAD per unit, based on the currency initially subscribed. The convertible debt was set to mature on September 30, 2021 and was secured by a general security agreement over the assets of the Company. The note was converted during the year ended December 31, 2021.
As the September 30, 2019 convertible debt included an embedded conversion feature denominated in Canadian dollars other than the functional currency which was USD at the issuance of the convertible debt, the debt was determined to be a financial instrument comprising an embedded derivative representing the conversion feature with a residual host debt component. On initial recognition, the Company used the residual value method to allocate the principal amount of the debentures between the embedded derivative conversion feature and host debt components. The conversion feature was valued first with the residual allocated to the host debt component.
On
initial recognition the Company recognized a derivative liability of $81,956 and an offsetting convertible debt discount of $81,956.
The fair value of the conversion features was determined based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following weighted average assumptions:
Schedule of Fair Value Assumptions of Conversion Features
| 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk-free<br> interest rate | 0.13 | % | |
| Expected<br> life (years) | 1.01 | ||
| Expected<br> volatility | 228 | % | |

Due
to the change in functional currency of the Company, 4,068,080 warrants with a carrying value of $163,162 were reassessed to be derivative liabilities as the exercise prices are denominated in USD other than the new functional currency. Immediately before the reclassification, the fair value of the warrants were remeasured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions (weighted average): expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 159%, risk-free interest rate – 0.89% and an expected remaining life – 1.56 years. The Company recognized a loss in fair value change on the derivative liabilities of $288,618 on January 1, 2022. As at September 30, 2022, the fair value of the warrants were remeasured at $425,611 using Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions (weighted average): expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 135%, risk-free interest rate – 3.05% and an expected remaining life ranging from 0.68 – 1.25 years. The Company recognized a loss on fair value change of $294,373 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

| --- | --- |
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to support its business plan, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placement, incur debt or return capital to members.
The Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay administrative costs, the Company will utilize its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
| 21. | Financial Instruments and Risk Management |
|---|
The Company is exposed, through its operations, to the following financial risks:
| a) | Market<br> risk |
|---|---|
| b) | Credit<br> risk |
| c) | Liquidity<br> risk |
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 these Statements.
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 reported periods unless otherwise stated in the note. The overall objective of management is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
| a) | Market<br> risk |
|---|
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and equity price risk.
| 44 |
| --- | |
|---|---|
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Foreign<br> currency risk: |
| --- | --- |
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk as it has transactions denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
As at September 30, 2022, the Company’s significant foreign exchange currency exposure on its financial instruments, expressed in USD was as follows:
If
the CAD strengthened or weakened against the USD by 10% the exchange rate fluctuation would impact net loss by $543,401 at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $201,206).
| (ii) | Interest<br> rate risk: |
|---|
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest earned on cash is insignificant and the Company does not rely on interest income to fund its operations. The Company has significant debt facilities, including convertible debt and promissory notes and loans payable. As the debt facilities are incurring a fixed rate of interest, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
| (iii) | Other<br> price risk: |
|---|
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company does not hold equity investments in other entities and therefore is not exposed to a significant risk.
| b) | Credit<br> risk |
|---|
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash by placing its cash with a high-quality financial institution.
| c) | Liquidity<br> risk |

Overview
Trillion Energy International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is a Canadian based oil and gas exploration and production company with operations primarily in Turkey. Effective January 2022, the corporate headquarters moved to Suite 700, 838 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., coinciding with the redomicile of the Company from Delaware to British Columbia, a move which was approved by shareholders in November 2021. The Company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “TCF” where it was recently added the CSE 25 Index. The Company also trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “TRLEF” and the Frankfurt exchange under the symbol Z62.
On or about January 21, 2022, the Company redomiciled from Delaware, United States to British Columbia, Canada by way of an amalgamation transaction with the Company’s British Columbian subsidiary (the “Repatriation Transaction”). Pursuant to the Repatriation Transaction, for every one common stock of Trillion Energy International Inc., the shareholders have received one common share of Trillion Energy Inc. The Company continued to operate under the name of Trillion Energy International Inc. after the Repatriation Transaction.
As a result of the Repatriation Transaction, the Company met the definition of a foreign private issuer, as defined under Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Developmentsof the Business
Trillion Energy International Inc. an oil and gas producer in Europe. The Company’s current focus is on increasing conventional natural gas production at its SASB field located in the Black Sea, Turkey where it has initiated a 17 well development drilling program “the SASB Development Program”. In addition, it produces oil from the Cendere field, a long-term low decline oil field. It also has an exploration license in Bulgaria which is currently inactive, but to which it intends to explore for coal bed methane generated natural gas in the future.
During 2022, the Company raised gross proceeds of $41 million from two brokered financings, which the Company believes will allow it to become self sustaining such that the cashflow generated from investing earmarked for the SASB Development Program, same will allow it to continue and complete the SASB Development Program, without any further significant equity dilution.
During September 2022, the Company commenced the SASB Development Program drilling its first well, Akcakoca South, with was completed and tested during October 2022 and which flow tested at 7-8 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d)(gross 100% interest) and which was then put on production. During November 2022 the Company recompleted the Akcakoca-3 Well which was then tested at 7 mmcf/d (gross 100% interest). The Company is currently drilling the Guluc and West Akcakcoa wells, the first of which will be completed in January 2023. Each of the new wells are expected to take an average of 45 days to drill and for reentries, an average of 15 days per well. The wells are being drilled or recompleted using the Uranus jack up drilling rig under contract from a rig provider located in Romania.

Turkey
The Company primarily operates in Turkey, where it owns two key assets; an interest in the producing Cendere oil field (“Cendere”) and a natural gas field located in the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB” or the “SASB Gas Field”). Cendere is a mature long-term low decline oil field. The second asset is the SASB natural gas field, a producing shallow water development to which the Company is currently focused on increasing production by drilling new wells.
Cendere
The Company has a 19.6% interest in the Cendere oil field located in Southeast Turkey all except certain wells. At September 30, 2022, the gross oil production rate for the producing wells in Cendere was 707 bbls/day (barrels per day); the average daily 2022 Q3 gross production rate for the field was 681 bbls/day. At the end of September 2022, oil was sold at a price of approximately US$94 per barrel (“bbl”). At September 30, 2022, the Cendere field was producing 108 barrels of oil per day net to the us; and averaged 101 barrels per day during 2022 Q3 net to the Company. On October 13, 2022, the joint production lease the Company holds in the region was extended to July 6, 2031.
SASB
The Company’s interest in SASB is 49%. SASB has several natural gas fields, four production platforms plus 18 kilometers of subsea pipelines connecting the gas fields to an onshore gas processing facility. SASB is located off the North West coast of Turkey in the Black Sea. Total gross production to date from the four fields is approximately 42.5 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”).
The Company commenced the SASB Development Program during September 2022, at which time the Uranus Rig arrived from Romania by ship onto the licence block. The drilling rig was then situated at the Akcakoca platform upon which it drilled South Akcakoca, Akcakoca-3 and is now drilling Akcakoca West and Guluc wells. The initial program involves seven wells (two workovers and five new directional wells) all which will be put on production during the program upon successful completion, thus generating revenue for us. The second part of the SASB Development Program involves up to an additional 10 wells (including recompletions, sidetracks and new wells), which in part will be identified based on the results of the first wells and further G&G work that is presently ongoing. The SASB Development Program will substantially boost production for the near future. Wells are expected to produce additional gas for between three and ten years each based on the SASB Development Program.
As at November 20, 2022 the gross gas production rate for SASB was 39 MMcfd, representing production from the Akcakoca South and Akcakoca-3 wells. The average daily 2022 gross production rate for the field was 2.4 MMcfd. Gas production rates have increased significantly between September and November due to the first two operations of the SASB Development Program being completed.
Earlier this year to secure the drilling rig the Company entered into a drilling contract (the “Contract”) with GSP Offshore SRL (“GSP”) to secure the Uranus jack-up drilling rig for the SASB Development Program. The Contract anticipates drilling a minimum of five new wells and two recompletions (the “Initial Program”) and contains provides for an extension based on the Company’s plans to drill additional wells. The rig rate is USD $95,000/day. The duration of the Initial Program is expected to be 9 months with one new well being put into production every 15-45 days and the subsequent up to 10 wells adding an additional year of drilling time continuing into 2024.
It is the Company’s plan to drill the wells more or less continuously to reduce mobilization costs and take advantage of high gas prices, by bringing one new well into production every 45 days starting September 2022 and then throughout the duration of 2023 into 2024, thereby significantly ramping up the Company’s production during that time frame.
Currently natural gas is being sold at about $30/MMCF domestically in Turkey. The average monthly natural gas sale price year to date for 2022 was approximately US$18 per Mcf. The gas price has been approximately US$31 per Mcf for the months September, October and November, 2022.

| --- |
The Company also plans to explore potential opportunities around the SASB development license area, which is currently 12,385 hectares, by applying for a Technical Investigation Survey Permit for 200,000 hectares of surrounding area (“the Permit”). The Company is currently evaluating data to determine a proposed new exploration work program for such new Permits which will continue. Upon receiving the Permit, the Company planned to reprocess existing 3D and 2D seismic with new technology and gather additional data. Such new technology is expected to improve the resolution of the data and define new exploration targets around the SASB.
Bulgarialicense
In October of 2010, the Company was awarded an exploration permit for the “Vranino 1-11 Block”, a 98,205 acre oil and gas exploration land located in Dobrudja Basin, Bulgaria, by the Bulgarian Counsel of Ministers. On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Prospecting and Exploration in the Vranino 1-11 Block with the Ministry of Economy and Energy of Bulgaria (the “License Agreement”). The initial term of the License Agreement is five years. This five-year period will commence once the Bulgarian regulatory authorities approve of the Company’s work programs for the permit area. The License Agreement (or applicable legislation) provides for possible extension periods for up to five additional years during the exploration phase, as well as the conversion of the License Agreement to an exploitation concession, which can last for up to 35 years. Under the License Agreement, the Company will submit a yearly work program that is subject to the approval of the Bulgarian regulatory authorities. The running time for the work program has not yet commenced for the work program, due certain environmental reports being required to be completed first. The project has been placed on hold by the Company given its focus on other near-term production opportunities.
StrategicFocus
Our focus currently is increasing oil and gas production during times of high oil and gas prices and in particular, our natural gas reserves at the SASB gas field in Turkey, which we expect will generate significant cash-flow and profits for the Company. Further development beyond the first seven wells is contingent upon reinvesting cashflow from earlier wells into new wells, and our plan is to further develop the fields as approvals and funds are on hand and as the rig schedule may allow.
Overall Performance
The Company focused its efforts for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on raising funds through the completion of various private placements and the closing of a prospectus, raising gross proceeds of approximately $41.5M CAD (US$31M) and begin exploration in the SASB fields.
Revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the price of oil and gas in the nine month period ending September 30, 2022 compared to the nine month period ending September 30, 2021. This is partially offset by a decrease in sales volume for the nine month period ending September 30, 2022 compared to the nine month period ending September 30, 2021. Revenues from the SASB Development Program will commence November 2022.
Net loss increased over the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities recognized in the two periods.
The Company’s cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 yielded a net increase of $10,607,050 primarily due to the cash raised from the closing of private placements and a prospectus during the period, but which was partially used to pay for upfront costs to the drilling program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company yielded a net increase of cash for $1,262,856, primarily from proceeds received on the exercise of warrants, options, and loan proceeds received.
The Company’s total assets increased primarily as a result increases in cash from the closing of the various financings completed in the period, coupled with advance payments made for drilling work expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2022.

FutureOperating Requirements
Based on our current plan of operations, which includes seven additional production wells, we estimate that we will have sufficient funds to cover our plan of operations over the next 12 months and that our cash on hand of $11,634,040 along with our revenue generated from initial wells in the SASB Development Program will be sufficient to fund our planned operations over the next 12 months.
Our current plan of operations is the continuation of drilling production wells at SASB to increase gas production. We expect to incur further capital expenditures in excess of $20 million within the next 12 months. As each of the wells is expected to generate cashflow as they are brought online and as cash receipts from production are obtained on a monthly basis, our cash position will be enhanced and capital outlays will be covered, such that increasing sales revenue will contribute positively to the Company’s working capital and future anticipated capital expenditures.
Subsequent to the completion of the Initial Work Program, the Company plans to drill up to 10 additional wells over the next eight to 30 months using cashflow from operations generated by the first seven wells. Based on our 49% interest, we project that we will incur between $50 to $74 million in additional capital expenditures, which include a mixture of production and exploration wells. Based on our current cost, production estimates and forecasted commodity prices, we expect that cashflow generated from the Initial Work Program will be sufficient to cover all of the capital cost of the second phase of drilling as described within this paragraph.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash of US$11,634,040 and current liabilities of US $1,958,853 which it anticipates is sufficient to cover its plan of operations over the next 12 months

Risk Management
The Company is exposed to varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument and other risks:
Foreignexchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange risks are closely monitored, and attempts are made to match foreign cash inflows and outflows. As at September 30, 2022, the Company is primarily exposed to foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents denominated in Canadian dollars and Turkish Lira. The Company mitigates foreign exchange risk by monitoring foreign exchange rate trends and evaluating reinvestment opportunities when possible. The Company does not currently hedge its foreign exchange risk. Based on current exposures as at September 30, 2022 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar or Turkish Lira against the United States dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $536,221 in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, respectively
Creditrisk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company’s cash and trade and other receivables are exposed to credit risk. The Company reduces its credit risk on cash by placing these instruments with institutions of high credit worthiness. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. The Company has determined that no allowance is required as all amounts outstanding are considered collectible. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $nil in bad debt expense (2021 - $nil).
Interestrate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s outstanding debt bears interest at fixed rates. As a result, at September 30, 2022, the Company is not exposed significant interest rate risk.
Liquidityrisk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances to enable settlement of transactions on the due date. The Company addresses its liquidity by raising capital through the issuance of debt and equity. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.
Generalrisks
Petroleum and natural gas exploration and production can involve environmental risks such as litigation, physical and regulatory risks. Physical risks include the pollution of the environment, climate change and destruction of natural habitat, as well as safety risks such as personal injury. The Company works hard to identify the potential environmental impacts of its new projects in the planning stage and during operations. The Company conducts its operations with high standards in order to protect the environment, its employees and consultants, and the general public. We maintain current insurance coverage for comprehensive and general liability as well as limited pollution liability. The amount and terms of this insurance are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted as necessary to reflect current corporate requirements, as well as industry standards and government regulations. Without such insurance, and if the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities could reduce or eliminate its available funds or could exceed the funds the Company has available and result in financial distress.

Climatechange risks
Our exploration and production infrastructure and other operations and activities emit greenhouse gasses (“GHG”) which may require us to comply with federal and/or provincial GHG emissions legislation. Climate change policy is evolving at regional, national and international levels, and political and economic events may significantly affect the scope and timing of climate change measures that are ultimately put in place to prevent climate change or mitigate our effects. The direct or indirect costs of compliance with GHG-related regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Some of our significant facilities may ultimately be subject to future regional, provincial and/or federal climate change regulations to manage GHG emissions. In addition, climate change has been linked to long-term shifts in climate patterns and extreme weather conditions both of which pose the risk of causing operational difficulties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2018 the Company entered into an agreement to grant to a consultant of the Company a 2% (two percent) gross overriding royalty on petroleum substances produced from certain of its currently undeveloped exploration properties, namely: Block 1-11 Vranino situated in Dobrich District, Bulgaria. The Grant of the royalty agreement was for services involving technical and corporate advisory services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are the first that has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

| --- |
We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:
RevenueRecognition
Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligation(s) by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
PerformanceObligations and Significant Judgments
The Company sells oil and natural gas products in Turkey. The Company enters into contracts that generally include one type of distinct product in variable quantities and priced based on a specific index related to the type of product.
The oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to processors and other third parties for processing and sale to customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the oil is transferred. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the customer upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under the Company’s natural gas contracts with processors, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the processing entity’s system. For the Company’s other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery to the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. In the cases where the Company sells to a processor, the Company has determined that the Company is the principal in the arrangement and the processors are the Company’s customers. The Company recognizes the revenue in these contracts based on the net proceeds received from the processor.
Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation and gathering costs within the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Transportation and gathering costs incurred prior to transfer of control are recorded within the general and administrative expense line item on the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, while transportation and gathering costs incurred subsequent to control transfer are recorded as a reduction to the related revenue.
A portion of the Company’s product sales are short-term in nature. For those contracts, the Company uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”) Paragraph 121 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 Paragraph 121(a) which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. The Company has no unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period.
The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified. There is a low level of uncertainty due to the precision of measurement and use of index-based pricing with predictable differentials. Additionally, any variable consideration identified is not constrained.
AccountsReceivable
Accounts receivable consist of oil and gas receivables. The Company has classified these as short-term assets in the balance sheet because the Company expects repayment or recovery within the next 12 months. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. The Company deems all accounts receivable to be collectable and has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts.

Explorationand Evaluation Assets
Pre-license exploration costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licenses to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets.
Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are charged to exploration expense.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.
When management determines with reasonable certainty that an exploration and evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to oil and gas properties.
Oiland gas properties
Oil and gas properties (“O&G”) include exploration and evaluation expenditures, development and productions costs, less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. O&G are grouped into cash generating units for impairment testing. The Company has grouped its O&G into two CGUs: the Cendere Oil Field and SASB Gas Field.
When significant parts of an item of O&G have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of O&G are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Such capitalized items generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and/or probable reserves and bringing on or enhancing production from such reserves and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The carrying amount of any replaced or sold component is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of oil ang gas properties are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The net carrying value of oil and gas properties is depleted using the unit-of-production method by reference to the ratio of production in the year to the related proved reserves, taking into account estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. These estimates are reviewed by independent reservoir engineers at least annually.
Stock-basedcompensation
Under the company’s share-based compensation plans, share-based awards may be granted to executives, employees and nonemployee directors.
Stock options that give the holder the right to purchase common shares are accounted for as equity-settled plans. The expense is based on the fair value of the options at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and is recognized over the vesting periods of the respective options. A corresponding increase is recorded to option reserve. Consideration paid to the company on exercise of options is credited to share capital and the associated amount in contributed surplus is reclassified to share capital.

| --- |
UnitOfferings
Common shares are classified as equity. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method. The residual method first allocates fair value to the component with the best evidence of fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares, measured on date of issue, was determined to be the component with the best evidence of fair value. The balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants. Costs directly identifiable with share capital financing are charged against share capital.
