ARROW ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

CALGARY, August 29, 2022 - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL; TSXV: AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company") announces the filing of its unaudited interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). All dollar figures are in U.S. dollars, except as otherwise noted.

The first six months of 2022 saw the Company deploy the capital it raised at the time of its Admission to AIM on a successful two well drilling campaign at Rio Cravo on the Tapir Block. The better than forecasted results from this drilling campaign and the subsequent generation of positive cashflows in Q3 means Arrow is pleased to be committing to a further drilling program. Commencing in Q4 2022, the Company expects to drill up to three further wells at Rio Cravo and plans a two well program on the Carrizales Norte Structure on the Tapir Block. A letter of intent has been signed with a drilling contractor to execute the planned five well program on the Tapir Block. Along with workovers to other existing wells, the Company will seek to tie in the East Pepper well in Q4 2022, confirming Arrow remains on target to increase production to 3,000 boe/d within 18 months of AIM Admission. The Company anticipates being able to support the planned 2023 CAPEX program with current cash and cashflow from operations. Arrow continues to focus on growth and improving its balance sheet and free cash flow.

Discussion of Operating Results

The Company's second quarter 2022 average corporate production decreased by 29% to 899 boe/d, compared to the first quarter 2022 average production of 1,144 boe/d. This decrease was largely attributable to the West Pepper well in Alberta, Canada, which was brought on production in December 2021 and has been recently affected by a third party's temporary processing facility constraints. Arrow's production on a quarterly basis is summarized below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's average production mix consisted of crude oil and natural gas production in Colombia of 575 bbl/d (2021: 264 bbl/d) and 2,398 Mcf/d (2021: 373 Mcf/d) , along with minor amounts of natural gas liquids from Arrow's Canadian properties.

During the quarter, the Company successfully drilled the RCE-2 and RCS-1 wells, which were put into production and have contributed to the increase in Colombia's crude oil production.

Discussion of Financial Results

During Q2 2022 the Company continued to realize good oil and gas prices, as summarized below.

Arrow realized better operating netbacks quarter-over-quarter, increasing to $49.18/boe in the second quarter of 2022 from $20.16/boe in the first quarter of 2022. This increase is due to higher crude oil production and better netbacks from natural gas.

During Q2 2022, the Company incurred capital expenditures in connection with the drilling of the RCE-2 and RCS-1 wells. At the end of the quarter, Arrow had a positive working capital position of $5.6 million and a cash position of $7.4 million, which are expected to fund the Company's expenditure plan for the foreseeable future.

About Arrow Exploration Corp.

Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. Arrow's 50% interest in the Tapir Block is contingent on the assignment by Ecopetrol SA of such interest to Arrow. Arrow's seasoned team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".

Forward-looking Statements

This news release contains certain statements or disclosures relating to Arrow that are based on the expectations of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to Arrow which may constitute forward-looking statements or information ("forward-looking statements") under applicable securities laws. All such statements and disclosures, other than those of historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results or developments that Arrow anticipates or expects may, could or will occur in the future (in whole or in part) should be considered forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words "continue", "expect", "opportunity", "plan", "potential" and "will" and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Arrow, including without limitation, Arrow's evaluation of the impacts of COVID-19, the potential of Arrow's Colombian and/or Canadian assets (or any of them individually), the prices of oil and/or natural gas, and Arrow's business plan to expand oil and gas production and achieve attractive potential operating margins. Arrow believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations, and assumptions will prove to be correct.

The forward-looking statements included in this news release are not guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Non‐IFRS Measures

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

All such statements and disclosures, other than those of historical fact, which address activities, events, outcomes, results or developments that Arrow anticipates or expects may, could or will occur in the future (in whole or in part) should be considered forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words "believe", "continue", "could", "expect", "likely", "may", "outlook", "plan", "potential", "will", "would" and similar expressions. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this MD&A contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact; tax liability; capital management strategy; capital structure; credit facilities and other debt; performance by Canacol (as defined herein) and the Company in connection with the Note (as defined herein) and letters of credit; Arrow's costless collar structure; Arrow's interest in the OBC Pipeline (as defined herein) and the consequences thereof; cost reduction initiatives; potential drilling on the Tapir block; capital requirements; expenditures associated with asset retirement obligations; future drilling activity and the development of the Rio Cravo Este structure on the Tapir Block. Statements relating to "reserves" and "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future.

The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A reflect several material factors and expectations and assumptions of Arrow including, without limitation: current and anticipated commodity prices and royalty regimes; the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; the financial impact of Arrow's costless collar structure; availability of skilled labour; timing and amount of capital expenditures; future exchange rates; commodity prices; the impact of increasing competition; general economic conditions; availability of drilling and related equipment; receipt of partner, regulatory and community approvals; royalty rates; future operating costs; effects of regulation by governmental agencies; uninterrupted access to areas of Arrow's operations and infrastructure; recoverability of reserves; future production rates; timing of drilling and completion of wells; pipeline capacity; that Arrow will have sufficient cash flow, debt or equity sources or other financial resources required to fund its capital and operating expenditures and requirements as needed; that Arrow's conduct and results of operations will be consistent with its expectations; that Arrow will have the ability to develop its oil and gas properties in the manner currently contemplated; current or, where applicable, proposed industry conditions, laws and regulations will continue in effect or as anticipated; that the estimates of Arrow's reserves and production volumes and the assumptions related thereto (including commodity prices and development costs) are accurate in all material respects; that Arrow will be able to obtain contract extensions or fulfil the contractual obligations required to retain its rights to explore, develop and exploit any of its undeveloped properties; and other matters.

Arrow believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time but no assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. 

Non‐IFRS Measures

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

Working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities; funds from operations is calculated as cash flows from (used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude settlement of decommissioning obligations and changes in non-cash working capital balances; realized price is calculated by dividing gross revenue by gross production, by product, in the applicable period; operating netback is calculated as total natural gas and crude revenues minus royalties, transportation costs and operating expenditures; adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other similar non-recurring or non-cash charges; and net debt is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items.  

The Company also presents funds from operations per share, whereby per share amounts are calculated using weighted- average shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of net loss and comprehensive loss per share.

A reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures is included as follows:

The term barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") is used in this MD&A.  Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.  A boe conversion ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas to one barrel of oil ("bbl") is used in the MD&A. This conversion ratio of 6:1 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

The Company's primary producing assets are located in Colombia in the Tapir, Oso Pardo and Ombu blocks, with natural gas production in Canada at Fir and Pepper, Alberta.

Llanos Basin

Within the Llanos Basin, the Company is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil within the Tapir block. In the Llanos Basin most oil accumulations are associated with three-way dip closure against NNE-SSW trending normal faults and can have pay within multiple reservoirs. The Tapir block contain large areas not yet covered by 3D seismic, and in Management's opinion offer substantial exploration upside. 

The Company's interest in the Tapir block is held through a private contract with Petrolco, who holds a 50% participating interest in, and is the named operator of, the Tapir contract with Ecopetrol. The formal assignment to the Company is subject to Ecopetrol's consent. The Company is the de facto operator pursuant to certain agreements with Petrolco (details of which are set out in Paragraph 16.13 of the Company's AIM Admission Document dated October 20, 2021).

Middle Magdalena Valley ("MMV") Basin

Oso Pardo Field

The Oso Pardo Field is located in the Santa Isabel Block in the MMV Basin.  It is a 100% owned property operated by the Company.  The Oso Pardo field is located within a Production Licence covering 672 acres. Three wells have been drilled to date within the License area.

Ombu E&P Contract - Capella Conventional Heavy Oil Discovery

The Caguan Basin covers an area of approximately 60,000 km2 and lies between the Putumayo and Llanos Basins. The primary reservoir target is the Upper Eocene aged Mirador formation. The Capella structure is a large, elongated northeast-southwest fault-related anticline, with approximately 17,500 acres in closure at the Mirador level. The field is located approximately 250 km away from the nearest offloading station at Neiva, where production from Capella is trucked.

The Capella No. 1 discovery well was drilled in July 2008 and was followed by a series of development wells. The Company earned a 10% working interest in the Ombu E&P Contract by paying 100% of all activities associated with the drilling, completion, and testing of the Capella No. 1 well.

Fir, Alberta

The Company has an average non-operated 32% WI in 12 gross (3.84 net) sections of oil and natural gas rights and 17 gross (4.5 net) producing natural gas wells at Fir. The wells produce raw natural gas into the Cecilia natural gas plant where it is processed.

Pepper, Alberta

The Company holds a 100% operated WI in 37 sections of Motney P&NG rights at Pepper. The 06-26 well (West Pepper) is a horizontal Upper Motney exploration well that produces natural gas into the Galloway gas plant where it is processed.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 Financial and Operational Highlights

· Arrow recorded $5,024,604 in revenues (net of royalties) on crude oil sales of 42,763 bbls, 458 bbls of natural gas liquids ("NGL's") and 222,642 Mcf of natural gas sales;

· Generated funds flow from operations of $2,613,843 ;

· Adjusted EBITDA was $2,809,713;

· The Company recorded a net income of $768,318;

· Drilled and completed the Rio Cravo Este -2 (RCE-2) and Rio Cravo Sur-1 (RCS-1) wells in the Tapir block, increasing oil production in Colombia

Results of Operations

The Company has significantly recovered its production and improved its operations despite the challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with improved pricing of energy commodities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased production at its Tapir block from the drilling of the RCE-2 and RCS-1 wells, offset by a decrease in production at the Ombu blocks, and consistent production in the Oso Pardo field. Also, the West Pepper Well decrease its production during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to third party's temporary processing facility constraints.

The finance expense paid or payable represents interest on the promissory note due to Canacol, as partial payment for the acquisition of Carrao which bears interest at 15% per annum. The decrease on this financing expense is due to a reduced outstanding balance outstanding in Canacol's promissory note. In addition, financing expense includes fees and interest associated with financing standby letters of credit on certain of the Company's Colombian blocks. The non-cash finance cost represents an increase in the present value of the decommissioning obligation for the current periods.

The 2021 amount was generated from the Company's ongoing negotiations of accounts payable and debts with vendors, both in Colombia and Canada, which have resulted in reductions of amounts actually paid in cash to settle its liabilities.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Management

The Company's objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to provide flexibility in the future development of the business and maintain investor, creditor and market confidence.  The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company considers its capital structure to include share capital, debt and working capital, excluding non-cash items.  In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, from time to time the Company may issue common shares or other securities, sell assets or adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels.

 

On October 2021, the Company raised approximately $12 million (C$15.0 million), through a placing and subscription for new common shares with new investors and executive management as part of the Company's shares admission to trade on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. This fundraising consisted on placement and subscription of 140,949,565 new common shares, at an issue price of £0.0625 (C$0.106125) per new common share, and  one warrant for every two new common shares, exercisable at £0.09 per new common share for 24 months from the AIM admission date (October 25, 2021). On November 24, 2021, the Company closed a private placement of C$395,375 for issuance of 3,765,476 new common shares and 1,999,938 warrants.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company's working capital is $5,594,028. During 2021 and 2022, the Company has been favorably impacted by the overall improvement in energy commodity prices, which has also impacted the Company's capacity to generate sufficient financial resources to sustain its operations. This has contributed to the Company's ability to complete financing transactions in 2021, in the form of fundraisings, from its existing and new investors and management is confident that additional resources would be available to the Company to close similar transactions. As at June 30, 2022 the Company's net debt was calculated as follows:

Debt Capital

The Company currently has $3.5 million in outstanding debt in the form of a promissory note payable to Canacol and a long-term debt of $31,040. On October 18, 2021, Arrow and Canacol entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Promissory Note. The principal amendments are the following:

-  The new principal amount of the promissory note is $6,026,166

-  On or before October 31, 2021, the Company shall make a payment of C$ 3,900,000 plus all Canacol's expenses incurred in connection with this amendment and related matters, which has already occurred;

-  On or before December 31, 2022, the Company shall make a payment equal to 50% of the total amount outstanding of interest and principal; and

-  The remaining balance of principal and interest shall be paid no later than June 30, 2023

 

The total balance of this promissory note and its interest of $3,557,792 is presented as a current liability in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2022. This amendment also provided that, in the event that the Company made the payment due on October 31, 2021, Canacol agreed to forgive $658,654 for excess pipeline shipping costs, as a result of the settlement of the OBC pipeline dispute.


Letters of Credit

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had obligations under Letters of Credit ("LC's") outstanding totaling $5.3 million to guarantee work commitments on exploration blocks and other contractual commitments. Of the total, approximately $4 million has been guaranteed by Canacol. Under an agreement with Canacol, Canacol will continue to provide security for the LC's providing that Arrow uses all reasonable efforts to replace the LC's. In the event the Company fails to secure the renewal of the LC's underlying the Company's Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos ("ANH") guarantees, or any of them, the ANH could decide to cancel the underlying E&P contract for a particular block, as applicable. In this instance, the Company could risk losing its entire interest in the applicable block, including all capital expended to date, and could possibly also incur additional abandonment and reclamation costs if applied by the ANH.

Over the past quarters, the Company's oil and natural gas sales have fluctuated due to changes in production, movements in the Brent benchmark oil price and fluctuations in realized oil price differentials. The Company's production levels in Colombia have been variable, with increases driven by additional crude oil from the Tapir wells, partially offset by the sale of the Company's interest in the LLA-23 blocks and natural declines on mature blocks. Trends in the Company's net income (loss) are also impacted most significantly by commodity prices, increase in production, financing costs, income taxes, depletion, depreciation and impairment of oil and gas properties, gains and losses from risk management activities.

OUTLOOK

The first six months of 2022 saw the Company deploy the capital it raised at the time of its Admission to AIM on a successful two well drilling campaign at Rio Cravo on the Tapir Block. The better than forecasted results from this drilling campaign and the subsequent generation of positive cashflows in Q3 means Arrow is pleased to be committing to a further drilling programme.  In Q4 2022, the Company expects to drill up to three further wells at Rio Cravo and plans a two well program on the Carrizales Norte Structure on the Tapir Block.  A letter of intent has been signed with a drilling contractor to execute the planned five well program on the Colombian Tapir Block. Along with workovers to other existing wells, the Company will seek to tie in the East Pepper well in Q4 2022, confirming Arrow remains on target to increase production to 3,000 boe/d within 18 months of AIM Admission. The Company is able to support the planned 2023 CAPEX program with current cash and cashflow from operations.  Arrow continues to focus on growth and improving its balance sheet and free cash flow.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and, on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic.  Actions taken around the world to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, combined with OPEC's initial plan to increase global supply resulted in significant weakness and volatility in commodity prices in early 2020.  Commodity prices began to recover in late 2020 and continued that recovery in 2021 and 2022.  Although it is impossible to reliably estimate the continuous impact of COVID-19, and OPEC's policies and the volatile commodities market, both are anticipated to have material effects on the Company's 2022 financial results relative to 2021.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company reviewed its cash-generating units ("CGU") for property and equipment and determined that there were no indicators of impairment present. As at December 31, 2021, the Company reviewed its cash-generating units ("CGU") for property and equipment and determined that there were indicators of impairment reversal previously recognized in its Tapir block in Colombia and its Canadian assets mostly driven by the recovery in energy commodity prices. The company prepared estimates of both the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal of its CGUs of its CGUs and determined that recoverable amounts exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, an impairment loss reversal of $5,617,776 is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following table outlines forecast benchmark prices and exchange rates used in the Company's impairment test as at December 31, 2021:

The recoverable amounts were estimated at their fair value less costs of disposal, based on the net present value of the future cash flows from oil and gas reserves as estimated by the Company's independent reserve evaluator at December 31, 2021. The fair value less costs of disposal used to determine the recoverable amounts are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements as certain key assumptions are not based on observable market data but rather, the Company's best estimate. The Company used a 17.5% discount rate, which took into account risks specific to the Colombian CGUs and inherent in the oil and gas business, and 15% discount rate for its Canadian CGU, and provided the following recoverable values:

8.  Promissory Note

 

 

The promissory note was issued to Canacol Energy Ltd. ("Canacol") as partial consideration in the acquisition of Carrao Energy S.A. from Canacol. The promissory note bears interest at 15% per annum, was initially due on January 28, 2019 and has been subsequently amended and extended. On October 18, 2021, Arrow and Canacol entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Promissory Note agreement. The principal amendments are the following:

The new principal amount of the promissory note is $6,026,166

On or before October 31, 2021, the Company shall make a payment of C$ 3,900,000 plus all Canacol's expenses incurred in connection with this amendment and related matters, which has already occurred;

On or before December 31, 2022, the Company shall make a payment equal to 50% of the total amount outstanding of interest and principal; and

The remaining balance of principal and interest shall be paid no later than June 30, 2023

The total balance of this promissory note and its interest of $3,557,792 is presented as a current liability in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2022. The Company has granted a general security interest to Canacol for the obligations under the Promissory Note.

10.  Other Liabilities

 

 

The other liabilities of the Company relate to an environmental fee in Colombia that is levied on capital projects. The fee is calculated as 1% of the project cost. The program is administered by the Colombian National Authority of Environmental Licences ("ANLA") and is levied on projects that utilize surface water or deep water wells that may have an impact on the environment. The funds are generally used in the affected communities for purposes of land purchases, biomechanical works (e.g. containment walls in rivers), reforestation, research projects and others. At December 31, 2021 the Company had provided for $177,500 (December 31, 2020 - $177,500) for the environmental fee.

T he obligation was calculated using a risk-free discount rate range of 1.00% to 2.00% in Canada (2021: 1.00% to 2.00%) and 8.46% in Colombia (2021: 8.46%) with an inflation rate of 2.0% and 4.5%, respectively (2021: 2.0% and 4.5%). It is expected that the majority of costs are expected to occur between 2022 and 2033. The undiscounted amount of cash flows, required over the estimated reserve life of the underlying assets, to settle the obligation, adjusted for inflation, is estimated at $4,754,579 (2021: $4,222,717) .

(i)  On October 2021, the Company raised approximately $12 million (C$15.0 million), through a placing and subscription for new common shares with new investors, Canacol Energy Ltd. (Canacol), and executive management (the Fundraising) as part of the Company's shares admission to trade on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc. The Fundraising consisted on placement and subscription of 140,949,565 new common shares at an issue price of £0.0625 (C$0.106125) per new common share. The Company's executive management invested approximately C$ 1.41 million and Canacol participated in the subscription to hold 19.9% of the enlarged share capital. Investors received one warrant for every two new common shares, exercisable at £0.09 per new common share for 24 months from the AIM admission date (October 25, 2021).

 

(ii)  On November 24, 2021, the Company announced that it has closed a private placement of C$395,375 for issuance of 3,765,476 new common shares and 1,999,938 warrants (see Note 12).

(iii)  During 2021, the Company recognized share issue costs for $1,162,451 and listing costs of $583,972 associated with the financings completed in 2021 as per above.

(b)  Stock options:

The Company has a stock option plan that provides for the issuance to its directors, officers, employees and consultants options to purchase a number of non-transferable common shares not exceeding 10% of the common shares that are outstanding. The exercise price is based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the day prior to the day of the grant.

14.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

Exploration and Production Contracts

The Company has entered into a number of exploration contracts in Colombia which require the Company to fulfill work program commitments and issue financial guarantees related thereto. In aggregate, the Company has outstanding exploration commitments at June 30, 2022 of $17.8 million. T he Company, in conjunction with its partners, have made applications to cancel $15.5 million ($5.8 million Arrow's share as per table below) in commitments on the Macaya and Los Picachos blocks. The remaining commitments are expected to be satisfied by means of seismic work, exploration drilling and farm-outs. Presented below are the Company's exploration and production contractual commitments at June 30, 2022:

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation or has claims sought against it in the normal course of business operations.  Management of the Company is not currently aware of any claims or actions that would materially affect the Company's reported financial position or results from operations. Under the terms of certain agreements and the Company's by-laws the Company indemnifies individuals who have acted at the Company's request to be a director and/or officer of the Company, to the extent permitted by law, against any and all damages, liabilities, costs, charges or expenses suffered by or incurred by the individuals as a result of their service.

Letters of Credit

At June 30, 2022, the Company had obligations under Letters of Credit ("LC's") outstanding totaling $5.3 million to guarantee work commitments on exploration blocks and other contractual commitments. Of the total, approximately $4.1 million has been guaranteed by Canacol. Under an agreement, Canacol will continue to provide security for Arrow's Letters of Credit providing that Arrow uses all reasonable efforts to replace the LC's. In the event the Company fails to secure the renewal of the letters of credit underlying the ANH guarantees, or any of them, the ANH could decide to cancel the underlying exploration and production contract for a particular block, as applicable. In this instance, the Company could risk losing its entire interest in the applicable block, including all capital expended to date and could possibly also incur additional abandonment and reclamation costs if applied by the ANH.

15.  Financial Instruments

 

 

The Company holds various forms of financial instruments. The nature of these instruments and the Company's operations expose the Company to commodity price, credit and foreign exchange risks. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to the extent practical.

 

(a)  Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices.  Lower commodity prices can also impact the Company's ability to raise capital.  Commodity prices for crude oil are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.  From time to time the Company may attempt to mitigate commodity price risk through the use of financial derivatives.  Currently, the Company does not have any commodity price contract in place.

 

(b)  Credit Risk

Credit risk reflects the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. The majority of the Company's account receivable balances relate to petroleum and natural gas sales and balances receivables with partners in areas operated by the Company.  The Company's policy is to enter into agreements with customers that are well established and well financed entities in the oil and gas industry such that the level of risk is mitigated. In Colombia, a significant portion of the sales is with a producing company under an existing sale/offtake agreement with prepayment provisions and priced using the Brent benchmark. The Company's trade account receivables primarily relate to sales of crude oil and natural gas, which are normally collected within 25 days (in Canada) and up to 15 days in advance (in Colombia) of the month of production.  Other accounts receivable mainly relate to balances owed by the Company's partner in one of its blocks, and are mainly recoverable through production. The Company has historically not experienced any collection issues with its customers and partners.

 

(c)  Market Risk

Market risk is comprised of two components: foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.

 

i)  Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company operates on an international basis and therefore foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as it holds cash and incurs expenditures in exploration and evaluation and administrative costs in foreign currencies. The Company incurs expenditures in Canadian dollars, United States dollars and the Colombian peso and is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates in these currencies. There are no exchange rate contracts in place.

 

ii)  Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.  The Company is not currently exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at a fixed coupon rate of 15% on the promissory notes.

 

(d)  Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of the Company's operational liquidity requirements:

· The Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date;

· The Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or

· The Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.

 

The Company's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to ensure, within reasonable means, sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and unusual conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or jeopardizing the Company's business objectives.

 

The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets which are monitored regularly and updated as considered necessary.  Petroleum and natural gas production is monitored daily to provide current cash flow estimates and the Company utilizes authorizations for expenditures on projects to manage capital expenditures. Any funding shortfall may be met in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or equity instruments, further expenditure reductions and/or the introduction of joint venture partners.

 

(e)  Capital Management

The Company's objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to provide flexibility in the future development of the business and maintain investor, creditor and market confidence.  The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company considers its capital structure to include share capital, bank debt (when available), promissory notes and working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities.  In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, from time to time the Company may issue common shares or other securities, sell assets or adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. The Company monitors leverage and adjusts its capital structure based on its net debt level.  Net debt is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items.  In order to facilitate the management of its net debt, the Company prepares annual budgets, which are updated as necessary depending on varying factors including current and forecast crude oil prices, changes in capital structure, execution of the Company's business plan and general industry conditions.  The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors and updates are prepared and reviewed as required.
