Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. was originally incorporated on July 18, 1988 under the laws of the state of Nevada as Worldwide Stock Transfer, Inc. (Worldwide Stock Transfer, Inc. later changed its name to Allied Devices Corporation) and in connection with a plan of reorganization, effective on September 10, 2003, the company was reorganized and changed its name to Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Deep Well”).

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing the name “Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (and Subsidiaries)” (“the Company”) and the post-split common stock, with $0.001 par value.

Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital deficit, and continues to have an accumulated deficit, and has generated negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to develop a consistent source of dependent upon the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's operations. The management of the Company is developing a strategy, which it hopes will accomplish this objective through short-term related party loans and additional equity funding, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit and auditor review, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate so as to make the information presented not misleading.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2019.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise disclosed) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of two wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. (“Northern”) from the date of acquisition, being June 7, 2005, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada; and (2) Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), Canada on September 15, 2005. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Crude oil and natural gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil sands properties pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations requires that all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves be capitalized on a country by country basis. Such costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, production equipment and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.

Under the full cost method, oil and gas properties are subject to the ceiling test performed quarterly. A ceiling test write-down is recognized in net earnings if the carrying amount of a cost centre exceeds the “cost centre ceiling”. The carrying amount of the cost centre includes the capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes. The cost centre ceiling is the sum of (A) present value of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves using a 10 percent per year discount factor, (B) the costs of unproved properties not being amortized, and (C) the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) related income tax effects. As of June 30, 2020, no ceiling test write-downs were recorded for the Company’s oil and gas properties.

Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined that proved reserves are attributable or impairment has occurred. The Company's unproved properties are assessed annually for impairment. Costs that have been impaired are included in the costs subject to depletion within the full cost pool.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the estimated future cost of the Company’s plugging and abandonment obligations. The asset retirement obligation is recorded when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the fair value of the liability can reasonably be estimated. Upon initial recognition of an asset retirement obligation, the Company increases the carrying amount of the long-lived asset by the same amount as the liability. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value through charges to oil and gas production and well operations costs. The initial capitalized costs are depleted over the useful lives of the related assets through charges to depreciation, depletion, and amortization. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost.

Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, escalating retirement costs, and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As of June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, asset retirement obligations amount to $499,917 and $500,392, respectively. The Company has posted bonds, where required, with the Government of Alberta based on the amount the government estimates the cost of abandonment and reclamation to be.

Financial, Concentration and Credit Risk

The Company’s consideration or related financial credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents depends on if funds are fully insured by either The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”), or The Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation (“CUDGC”) deposit insurance limit. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has approximately $21,108 funds that are in excess of deposit insurance limits, which may have financial credit risk. For the Company funds that are maintained in a financial institution which has its deposits fully guaranteed by CUDGC, there is no financial credit risk.

The Company is not directly subject to credit risk resulting from the concentration of its crude oil sales. For the period ending June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 the Company recorded no oil sales.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net loss per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights, unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same. There were no potentially dilutive securities excluded from the the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be antidilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. This ASU does not apply to the Company’s oil sand leases. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company has no leases that the new accounting standard applies to.

COVID-19 Impact

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization assessed and characterized the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the impact from COVID-19. The Company continues to operate its business at this time and continues to monitor the COVID-19 developments but since the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length of the outbreak, or the severity of its impact will have on the Company. The ongoing spread of COVID-19 and mitigation measures to prevent its spread, along with a decline in oil prices, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and its future ability to raise funds. The Company, if eligible, has or will apply for any financial relief available to the Company.

LOAN PAYABLE

On April 20, 2020, one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries received a loan from that subsidiary’s Canadian chartered bank in the amount of $29,352 ($40,000 Cdn) as part of the Canadian government’s COVID-19 relief program. Under this loan program, eligible businesses receive a $40,000 Cdn interest-free loan until December 31, 2022. If $30,000 Cdn is repaid on or before December 31, 2022, the remaining amount of the loan is eligible for complete forgiveness. If the loan is not repaid by December 31, 2022, it will be extended for an additional 3-year term bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum. It is the Company’s intention to repay $30,000 Cdn of the loan on or before December 31, 2022. As such, the forgivable portion of the loan $7,413 ($10,000 Cdn) has been recorded as income, and $22,014 ($30,000 Cdn) has been recorded as loan payable.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

The Company’s oil sands properties under lease as of June 30, 2020, cover 19,610 gross acres (13,632 net acres) of land under seven oil sands leases. The lease expiration dates of the Company’s oil sands leases are as follows:

Out of 20,242 gross acres (13,284 net acres) under five oil sands leases that were set to expiry on July 10, 2018, 14,549 gross acres (8,571 net acres) were granted continuation under the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure regulations and have no set expiry date. In November of 2017, the Company’s joint venture partner and operator of two of the five oil sands leases, submitted two continuation applications to the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division to apply to continue 7,591 gross acres (1,898 net acres) and in January 2018, approval was received from Alberta Energy to continue 6,958 gross acres (1,740 net acres). In June 2018, the Company as operator of three of these five oil sands leases, submitted three continuation applications to the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division to apply to continue another 7,591 gross acres (6,832 net acres) where resources were identified and in July 2018 and April 2019, approval was received from Alberta Energy to continue 7,591 gross acres (6,832 net acres). Of these five oil sands leases that were set to expiry on July 10, 2018, a total of 5,693 gross acres (4,713 net acres) expired without being continued. These expired lands were primarily areas where the Company determined that there was no or limited exploitable resources. These continued leases are now held by the Company for perpetuity, subject to yearly escalating rental payments until they are deemed to be producing leases;

Out of 19,610 gross acres (17,649 net acres) under the three most northern oil sands leases that were set to expire on August 19, 2019, 1,898 gross acres (1,708 net acres) were granted continuation under the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure regulations and have no set expiry date. In August 2019, the Company as operator of these three most northern leases submitted one continuation application to the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division to apply to continue 1,898 gross acres (1,708 net acres) and in October 2019, approval was received from Alberta Energy to continue 1,898 gross acres (1,708 net acres). Of these three most northern oil sands leases that were set to expiry on August 19, 2019, a total of 17,712 gross acres (15,941 net acres) expired without being continued. These expired lands were primarily areas where the Company determined that there was no or limited exploitable resources. This one partially continued lease is now held by the Company for perpetuity, subject to yearly escalating rental payments until the lease is deemed to be a producing lease. See “Subsequent Events” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending June 30, 2020 as disclosed herein; and

3,163 gross acres (3,163 net acres) under one oil sands lease are set to expire on April 9, 2024. The Company will be applying to continue this lease into perpetuity.

Lease Rental Commitments

The Company has acquired interests in certain oil sands properties located in North Central Alberta, Canada. The lease terms include certain commitments related to oil sands properties that require the payments of yearly rents. As required by the amended Oil Sands Tenure Regulation of the Mines and Minerals Act of Alberta continued oil sands leases past their expiry dates are subject to escalating rental payments in respect of each term year of a continued lease that is designated as non-producing. Annual and escalating rent of continued leases are due at the beginning of each term year. As of June 30, 2020, the following table sets out the estimated net payments due under lease rental commitments for non-producing continued leases, which could be as high as, until the leases are classified as producing continued leases:

	(USD $)		(Cdn $)
2020	$	12,648	$	17,236
2021	$	19,828	$	27,022
2022	$	27,463	$	37,426
2023	$	27,463	$	37,426
2024	$	30,281	$	41,266
Subsequent	$	218,372	$	297,592

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for costs of oil properties. Under this method, oil and gas properties, for which no proved reserves have been assigned, must be assessed at least annually to ascertain whether or not a write down should occur. Unproven properties are assessed annually for potential write down.

Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. No write downs were recognized for the period ended June 30, 2020.

Capitalized costs of proven oil properties will be depleted using the unit-of-production method when the property is placed in production.

Many of the Company’s oil activities are conducted jointly with others. The accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

CAPITALIZATION OF COSTS INCURRED IN OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES

The following table illustrates capitalized costs relating to oil producing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019:

	June 30, 2020			September 30, 2019

LEGAL ACTIONS

Provident Premier Master Fund Ltd. vs Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., Andora Energy Corporation and MP Energy West Canada Corp.

On October 28, 2019, Provident Premier Master Fund Ltd. (the “Plaintiff”), filed and served an Amended Statement of Claim against Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., Andora Energy Corporation and MP Energy West Canada Corp. (the “Defendants”) in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. The Original Statement of Claim had been filed on November 1, 2018 but the Company states that it was never served, so the Company was not aware of the claim until served with the Amended Statement of Claim. The Plaintiff claims that on December 12, 2003, Nearshore Petroleum Corporation (“Nearshore”) entered into a royalty agreement with Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. (“Northern”) in which Northern supposedly granted a 6.5% gross overriding royalty (the “Purported GORR”) in all petroleum substances produced, saved and marketed from certain oil sands leases located within the Company's Sawn Lake properties. The Plaintiff further claims that on September 22, 2006, Nearshore and Gemini Strategies LLC (“Gemini”) entered into a royalty conveyance agreement whereby Nearshore sold 1% of the Purported GORR to Gemini. The Plaintiff further states that Gemini acquired the 1% of the Purported GORR as agent for Provident, Grey K Fund LP (“Grey K”) and Grey K Offshore Fund Ltd. (“Grey K Offshore”). The Plaintiff further claims that on September 22, 2006, Gemini delivered a notice of assignment, in accordance with the 1993 Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen Assignment Procedure (the “1993 CAPL”), to the grantors of the 1% of the Purported GORR, novating Provident (66.67%, net 0.6667%), Grey K (19.33%, net 0.1933%) and Grey K Offshore (14%, net 0.14%) into the Purported GORR agreement. The Plaintiff further claims that on September 2, 2009, any legal title in the Purported GORR beneficially owned by Grey K and Grey K Offshore vested in the Crown in right of Alberta pursuant to Section 229(1) of the Business Corporations Act and pursuant to section 15 of the Unclaimed Personal Property and Vested Property Act. The Plaintiff further claims that the Purported GORR was payable by one or more of the Defendants to Provident and that the Defendants are in breach of the Purported GORR agreement by failing to pay the Purported GORR. Despite the allegation within the claim that the Purported GORR was payable to each of Provident, Grey K and Grey K Offshore, the only Plaintiff named in the Amended Statement of Claim is Provident and relief is only being sought by Provident in relation to its purported 0.67% interest.

The Plaintiff seeks: 1) A declaration that the Plaintiff is the legal owner of 0.67% of the Purported GORR payable on all oil sands produced from the lands which is payable by one or more of the Defendants; 2) An accounting to determine the amount of the outstanding royalty of which judgment is estimated by the Plaintiff to be in the amount of $73,380 ($100,000 Cdn); and 3) Interest and costs.

The Company continues to deny the validity of the Purported GORR in the first instance. As well, if the Purported GORR was valid, which is denied, it was not a gross overriding interest, but rather an overriding interest, which allowed for the deduction of operating and marketing costs. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against the Plaintiff’s claims. As at June 30, 2020, no contingent liability has been recorded, as a successful outcome for the Plaintiff is not probable.

See “Subsequent Events” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending June 30, 2020, as disclosed herein.

General Overview

Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc., through its subsidiaries conducts business, as an independent junior oil sands exploration and development company. Its subsidiaries are headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Our immediate corporate focus is to develop the existing oil sands land base where our subsidiaries have working interests ranging from 25% to 100% in the Peace River oil sands area of Alberta, Canada. Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. is a Nevada corporation and trades on the OTC Marketplace under the symbol DWOG. We maintain a website at www.deepwelloil.com. Our financial statements are available for download on our website or you may download our financial statements from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The contents of our website are not part of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Operations

Since the inception of our current business plan, our operations have consisted of various exploration and start-up activities relating to our properties, including the acquisition of lease holdings, raising capital, locating joint venture partners, acquiring and analyzing seismic data, complying with environmental regulations, drilling, testing and analyzing of wells to define our oil sands reservoir, and development planning of our Alberta Energy Regulatory (“AER”) approved thermal recovery projects, which includes our joint Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Demonstration Project (the “SAGD Project”) where we have a 25% working interest.

Our main objective is to develop our oil sands lease holdings located in the Peace River oil sands area of North Central Alberta, Canada (also known as our Sawn Lake oil sands properties) using thermal recovery technologies. We have received approval from the AER for two thermal recovery projects located on our Sawn Lake properties.

A SAGD Project on our Sawn Lake properties commenced in 2013 where we have a 25% working interest. The SAGD Project consists of one SAGD well pair drilled to a depth of 650 meters and a horizontal length of 780 meters and the SAGD facility for steam generation, water handling, and bitumen treating. Steam injection commenced in May 2014 and production started in September of 2014. The SAGD Project reached a steady state production level in February of 2016 of 620 bopd, on a 100% basis (155 bopd net to us) from one SAGD well pair and achieved an instantaneous Steam oil Ratio (“ISOR”) efficiency of 2.1, demonstrating the productive capability of our Sawn Lake reservoir. The lower the ISOR the lower the production costs and emissions per barrel of oil produced. A majority of our Company’s Joint Venture partners voted to temporarily suspend operations for the SAGD Project at the end of February 2016. As 2021 and 2022 proceed, the operator of the SAGD Project should be consulting with its joint venture partners regarding development potential and alternatives for the SAGD Project.

The SAGD Project has:

	●	confirmed that the SAGD process works in the Bluesky formation at Sawn Lake;

	●	established characteristics of ramp up through stabilization of SAGD performance;

	●	indicated the productive capability and ISOR of the reservoir; and

●

provided critical information required for well and facility design associated with future commercial development.

The production results of the SAGD Project successfully confirmed the capability of the Bluesky reservoir to produce using thermal recovery technology. The following graph sets out the production levels that the SAGD Project achieved. These production numbers compare favorably to analogous reservoirs in thermal recovery projects that we are monitoring and using as a basis of comparison.

An amended application was submitted to the AER for a commercial expansion of the existing SAGD Project facility site and received regulatory approval in December 2017. This expansion application sought approval to expand the current SAGD Project facility site to produce up to 3,200 bopd (100% basis). It is anticipated that only five SAGD well pairs will need to be operating to achieve this production level. The SAGD Project development plan will be done in stages to reduce initial financial costs. The first stage anticipates the reactivation of the existing SAGD facility and existing SAGD well pair, along with the drilling of one additional SAGD well pair, initially producing from two SAGD well pairs. The second stage anticipates drilling an additional three SAGD well pairs to produce up to 3,200 bopd and the expansion of the existing SAGD facility to generate the additional steam required. The lead time to acquiring the necessary equipment and commencing operations is estimated to be about 18 months and another 6 months is required for the start of bitumen production (after development of the steam chamber). We anticipate our near- and or long-term funding of our operations to be financed through the existing Farmout Agreement, future earn-in agreements, and cash flow from the reactivation of the existing SAGD Project. We also intend to negotiate in the future with the Petroleum and Natural Gas holders in the area of our leases, to enter into further downhole contribution agreements to acquire additional logs and cores of the Bluesky formation, in order to expand the boundaries of the oil sands reservoir we have already defined and save on drilling costs and reduce our environmental footprint. A Sawn Lake full field development plan using SAGD batteries has been defined for the SAGD Project.

Under Full Cost accounting we assess our unproved properties for impairment annually. Management takes a longer-term approach to the commodity price because of the long life of the Company’s oil sands assets, that being 30, 40, or even over, 50 years. The significant decline in oil prices may have an impact on the Company's annual impairment assessment of its unproven Sawn Lake properties, whereby we may have to impair some or all of our unproven properties on our balance sheet when we preform our yearly assessment of our unproved properties for impairment. However, management feels that any impairment decision must take in to account the relatively long-term life of the Company’s assets.

We previously received approval from the AER for a horizontal cyclic steam stimulation project (“HCSS Project”) application. It is anticipated that we will develop a thermal demonstration project on our properties followed by a commercial expansion project on one half section of land located on section 10-92-13W5 of our Sawn Lake oil sands properties where we currently have at least a 90% working interest. The final performance results and revised reservoir modeling studies from our SAGD Project will be used to fine-tune our HCSS Project facility design before we initiate start-up operations on the half of a section of land where we plan to drill two horizontal wells to test the use of HCSS technology. We previously performed an environmental field study and surveyed the proposed location of our planned HCSS Project site and received AER approval for the surface wellsite and access road for this HCSS Project.

Our Company to date has, but not limited to, drilled or participated in 13 wells over our Sawn Lake leases to expand the boundaries of the Bluesky oil sands reservoir; commissioned various independent reservoir simulation studies of our properties; successfully produced bitumen from the SAGD Project, which outperformed independent reservoir production type curves; acquired AER approval for two thermal recovery projects, which includes our joint SAGD Project facility expansion to produce up to 3,200 bopd; successfully entered into Farmout Agreements; and we have successfully applied and received approval from the AER to continue the best sections of our oil sands properties past their initial lease expiry dates, where resources were identified. Currently, our Company’s Sawn Lake oil sands properties under lease covers 17,712 gross acres (11,734 net acres) of land under six oil sands leases. The lease expiration dates of our Company’s oil sands leases are as follows:

Five oil sands leases covering 14,549 gross acres (8,571 net acres) were continued under the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division and are now held by our Company into perpetuity and are subject to yearly escalating rental payments until they are deemed to be producing leases.

One oil sands lease covering 3,163 gross acres (3,163 net acres) are set to expire on April 9, 2024. It is our Company’s opinion that we have already met the governmental requirements for this lease, and we will be applying to continue this lease into perpetuity.

The development progress of our Sawn Lake oil sands properties is governed by several factors such as federal and provincial governmental regulations. Long lead times in getting regulatory approval for thermal recovery projects are commonplace in our industry. Road bans, winter access only roads and environmental regulations can, and often, do delay development of similar projects and our projects. Because of these and other factors, our oil sands projects can take significantly longer to complete than regular conventional drilling programs for lighter oil.

There was no production volumes or revenues for the years ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, due to a majority of our Company’s Joint Venture partners voting to temporarily suspend operations of the SAGD Project at the end of February 2016. In accordance with the Farmout Agreement we entered into on July 31, 2013, the Farmee has agreed to provide up to $40,000,000 in funding for our portion of the costs for the SAGD Project in return for a net 25% working interest in two oil sands leases where we had a working interest of 50% before the execution of the Farmout Agreement. Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement the Farmee is required to provide funding to cover the monthly administrative expenses of our Company provided that such funding shall not exceed $30,000 per month. Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, the Farmee is to continue to cover our Company’s administrative costs up to $30,000 per month until completion in all substantial respects of the SAGD Project agreement entered into between the Company and the operator of the SAGD Project. Since March of 2020, the Farmee has been delinquent in making its monthly payments in full to us. Currently the Farmee has only been paying about half of the $30,000 per month payments to us. To date the Farmee owes us approximately $345,000 in administrative costs as required by the Farmout Agreement. Our net operating margin after operating expenses is zero, under the Farmout Agreement, any negative operating cash flows are reimbursed to us to fund our share of the SAGD Project. Therefore, the total share of the capital costs and operating expenses of our Company’s joint SAGD Project has been funded in accordance with the Farmout Agreement, at a net cost to our Company of $Nil. As required by the Farmout Agreement, as of June 30, 2020, the Farmee has reimbursed our Company and/or paid the operator up to a total of approximately Cdn$27.5 million, which depending upon the exchange rates used over time could presently be approximately $20.2 million USD, for the Farmee’s share and our share of the capital costs and operating expenses of the SAGD Project. These costs included the drilling and completion of one SAGD well pair; the purchase and transportation of equipment of which included the once through steam generator, production tanks, water treatment plant, and power generators; installation and construction of the steam plant facility; testing and commissioning; the purchase of the water source and disposal wells; construction of pipelines and expenditures to connect and tie-in the source and disposal water wells to the steam plant facility along with a fuel source tie-in pipeline; equipment for processing and treating the bitumen production at the SAGD facility site; replacement of the electrical submersible pump; front end costs for the expansion; the operating expenses associated with the steaming and production of the one SAGD well pair when the facility was producing; and the expenses associated the monthly shut-in operations of the SAGD Project facility.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $18,368 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. We also accrued $90,000 during this quarter from the Farmee in accordance with a Farmout Agreement to offset our monthly expenses. After adjusting out the non-cash item foreign exchange and the funds we received from the Farmee, our general and administrative expenses were $102,207 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $124,258 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $41,144 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily due to decreases in office rent and other general and administrative expenses. We also accrued $270,000 during the last nine months from the Farmee in accordance with the Farmout Agreement, to offset our monthly expenses. After adjusting out the non-cash items for foreign exchange and the funds we received from the Farmee, our general and administrative expenses were $354,408 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $395,741 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our depreciation, depletion, and accretion expense decreased by $762 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily due to the depreciating value of our assets. Depreciation expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. In compliance with our accounting policy, only half of the depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition. No significant depreciable asset purchases were made in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, our depreciation, depletion, and accretion expense decreased by $2,012 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily due to the depreciating value of our assets. Depreciation expense is computed using the declining balance method over the estimated useful life of the asset. In compliance with our accounting policy, only half of the depreciation is taken in the year of acquisition. No significant depreciable asset purchases were made in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, rental and other income increased by $32,136 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily due to the income we received from COVID-19 supports granted from the Canadian federal government. Since April 2020, the Canadian federal government announced various COVID-19 relief programs which included, but are not limited to, loans, commercial rent and wage subsidies, to qualifying companies.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, rental and other income increased by $28,061 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily due to the income we received from COVID-19 supports granted from the Canadian federal government, as disclosed in the above paragraph.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, interest income decreased by $1,256 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, due to a decline in interest rates.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, interest income decreased by $1,035 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019, due to a decline in interest rates.

As a result of the above transactions, our net loss and loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $50,010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $18,368 in general and administrative expenses and an increase of $33,318 in COVID-19 support income. We recorded a net gain of $5,948 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to three months ended June 30, 2019. This net gain was primarily due to the COVID-19 supports income we received.

As a result of the above transactions, our net loss and loss from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $70,182 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $41,144 in general and administrative expenses and an increase of $33,318 in COVID-19 support income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2020, our total assets were $22,686,794 compared to $22,677,977 as of September 30, 2019. There was an increase of $8,817 in our total assets from the September 30, 2019 year end, which was primarily due to an increase of $55,919 in accounts receivable and a decrease of $26,430 in cash.

As of June 30, 2020, our total liabilities were $664,556 compared to $571,384 as of September 30, 2019. There was an increase of $93,172 in our total liabilities, which was primarily due to an increase of $71,633 in accounts payable and an increase of $22,014 from a loan we received.

Our working capital (current liabilities subtracted from current assets) is as follows:

	Nine months Ended		Year Ended
	June 30, 2020		September 30, 2019
Current Assets	$	180,100		167,379
Current Liabilities		142,625		70,992
Working Capital	$	37,475		96,387

As of June 30, 2020, we had working capital of $37,475 compared to a working capital of $96,387 as of September 30, 2019. This decrease of $58,912 in working capital is primarily due to cash used for general and administrative expenses and an increase of $71,633 in current liabilities.

As reported on our condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Operating Activities”, for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, our net cash used in operating activities was $19,648 compared to $203,228 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease of $183,580 in our operating activities was due to a decrease of $41,144 for general and administrative expenses and a decrease of $115,410 from changes in non-cash working capital.

As reported on our condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Investing Activities”, we had a decrease of $47,485 on investment in our oil and gas properties for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

As reported on our condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Financing Activities”, for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we had an increase of $7,014 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to the loan received by one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries Canadian chartered bank in the amount of $22,014 ($30,000 Cdn) as part of the Canadian government’s COVID-19 relief program on April 20, 2020. See Note 3 “Loan Payable” herein included in the consolidated Financial Statements.

Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 was $23,285 compared to $34,364 as of June 30, 2019. This decrease of $11,079 in cash was primarily due to cash used in general and administrative expenses.

Our current SAGD Project capital and operating costs are covered under the terms of the Farmout Agreement. In addition, as described above the Farmee shall continue to cover our administrative costs up to $30,000 per month, under the Farmout Agreement, until completion in all substantial respects of the SAGD Demonstration Project agreement entered into between us and the operator of the SAGD Project. For our long-term operations, we anticipate that, among other alternatives, we may raise funds during the next twenty-four months through sales of our equity securities, debt, or entering into another form of joint venture. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, our shareholders will experience dilution in the percentage of their ownership of common stock. We may not be able to raise sufficient funding from stock sales for long-term operations and if so, we may be forced to delay our business plans until adequate funding is obtained.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between our Company or any of our subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or affiliated entity that is not reflected on our Company’s Financial Statements that is required to be disclosed by our Company in our SEC filings and is not already disclosed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and therefore we are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation and specifically due to the fact that our Company was late in filing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that quarter, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while our principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Provident Premier Master Fund Ltd. vs Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., Andora Energy Corporation and MP Energy West Canada Corp.

On October 28, 2019, Provident Premier Master Fund Ltd. (the “Plaintiff”), filed and served an Amended Statement of Claim against Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., Andora Energy Corporation and MP Energy West Canada Corp. (the “Defendants”) in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. The Original Statement of Claim had been filed on November 1, 2018 but the Company states that it was never served, so the Company was not aware of the claim until served with the Amended Statement of Claim. The Plaintiff claims that on December 12, 2003, Nearshore Petroleum Corporation (“Nearshore”) entered into a royalty agreement with Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. (“Northern”) in which Northern supposedly granted a 6.5% gross overriding royalty (the “Purported GORR”) in all petroleum substances produced, saved and marketed from certain oil sands leases located within the Company’s Sawn Lake properties. The Plaintiff further claims that on September 22, 2006, Nearshore and Gemini Strategies LLC (“Gemini”) entered into a royalty conveyance agreement whereby Nearshore sold 1% of the Purported GORR to Gemini. The Plaintiff further states that Gemini acquired the 1% of the Purported GORR as agent for Provident, Grey K Fund LP (“Grey K”) and Grey K Offshore Fund Ltd. (“Grey K Offshore”). The Plaintiff further claims that on September 22, 2006, Gemini delivered a notice of assignment, in accordance with the 1993 Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen Assignment Procedure (the “1993 CAPL”), to the grantors of the 1% of the Purported GORR, novating Provident (66.67%, net 0.6667%), Grey K (19.33%, net 0.1933%) and Grey K Offshore (14%, net 0.14%) into the Purported GORR agreement. The Plaintiff further claims that on September 2, 2009, any legal title in the Purported GORR beneficially owned by Grey K and Grey K Offshore vested in the Crown in right of Alberta pursuant to Section 229(1) of the Business Corporations Act and pursuant to section 15 of the Unclaimed Personal Property and Vested Property Act. The Plaintiff further claims that the Purported GORR was payable by one or more of the Defendants to Provident and that the Defendants are in breach of the Purported GORR agreement by failing to pay the Purported GORR. Despite the allegation within the claim that the Purported GORR was payable to each of Provident, Grey K and Grey K Offshore, the only Plaintiff named in the Amended Statement of Claim is Provident and relief is only being sought by Provident in relation to its purported 0.67% interest.

On October 22, 2020, Provident Premier Master Fund Ltd. (the “Plaintiff”), filed and served a Second Amended Statement of Claim against Northern Alberta Oil Ltd., Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd., Andora Energy Corporation and MP Energy West Canada Corp. (the “Defendants”) in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. The Original Statement of Claim had been filed on November 1, 2018, but the Company states that it was never served so the Company was not aware of the claim until served with the first Amended Statement of Claim filed with the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary on October 24, 2019. The Plaintiff claims that on December 12, 2003, Nearshore Petroleum Corporation (“Nearshore”) entered into a royalty agreement with Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. (“Northern”) in which Northern supposedly granted a 6.5% gross overriding royalty the (“Purported GORR”) in all petroleum substances produced, saved and marketed from certain oil sands leases held by the Company located within the Company’s Sawn Lake properties. The Plaintiff seeks: 1) A declaration that the Plaintiff is the legal owner of 0.67% of the Purported GORR payable on all oil sands produced from the lands which is payable by one or more of the Defendants; 2) as stated in Clause 18(b) of the Second Amended Statement of Claim, an accounting to determine the amount of the outstanding royalty; 3.) Judgment or restitution in the amount determined pursuant to section 18(b) in the approximate amount of $73,380 ($100,000 Cdn) plus such further amounts as come due following the filing of the action; and 4) Interest and costs.

Andora Energy Corporation vs Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta), Ltd.

On February 17, 2021, the Defendants filed a Statement of Defence against the Plaintiff in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. The Defendants claim that the Plaintiff owes monies to the Defendants for, but are not limited to, leases operated by the Defendants, and that the Defendants have a right to off-set costs against any monies that may be owed to the Plaintiff’s.

On June 21, 2021, the Defendants filed an Affidavit against the Plaintiff’s application for an order for summary judgment against the Defendants in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Judicial District of Calgary. The Defendants claim that the Plaintiff owes $125,870 ($171,531 Cdn) to the Defendants for, but are not limited to, leases operated by the Defendants, and that the Defendants have a right to off-set costs against any monies that may be owed to the Plaintiff’s.

On June 22, 2021, upon an application by the Plaintiff for an order for summary judgment against the Defendants and upon the Court reviewing the Affidavits filed by the Plaintiff and Defendants and upon hearing counsel for the Plaintiff and counsel for the Defendants, the Justice in Chambers denied the Plaintiff’s order for a summary judgment against the Defendants.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Although we are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and are therefore not required to provide the information required under this item. The Corporation is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019 and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, with the following risk factor:

The outbreak of health epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Health epidemics and pandemics could, and in fact, have spread across the globe and could and have impacted worldwide economic activity, including the global demand for oil, natural gas and the price for heavy oil. Health epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 and its variants, can cause certain risks in which we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and joint venture partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, due to restrictions that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities, which include quarantines that restrict or prohibit employees from going to work. The ongoing spread of COVID-19 and its variants and mitigation measures to prevent its spread, along with a decline in oil prices, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to raise funds.

For a full description of risks and uncertainties, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Environmental Laws and Regulations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 filed with the SEC and the ASC on SEDAR on January 13, 2020. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made and, except as required by law, the Corporation disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and any other SEC filing or amendments thereto should be consulted.

The SEC recently adopted amendments to Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, could adversely affect our common stock. Rule 15c2-11 (the “Rule”) becomes effective on September 28, 2021 and will have an impact on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market regulatory structure. The amended Rule is ostensibly to enhance disclosure and investor protection in the OTC market by ensuring that broker-dealers in the OTC market do not publish quotations for an issuer’s security when current issuer information is not publicly available. Therefore, under the new Amendments to Rule 15c2-11, now, all OTC quoted companies must file at least current annual financial statements or companies will not be publicly quoted on the OTC Markets and risk being downgraded to the Grey Market. Our Company is currently listed on the OTC markets “Pink – No Information” Tier. Currently, we have not filed all of our annual and quarterly reports which are required to be filed by us with the SEC. We are striving to achieve this goal. Even so, it is possible that our common stock may be downgraded to the Grey Market, if it determined that we failed to file our appropriate annual and quarterly reports in a timely manner as required by the SEC. Our Company must file its September 30, 2020 annual financial statements with the SEC in order for our Company to remain publicly quoted on the OTC Markets “Pink - Limited Information” Tier. If it is determined that we did not comply with these new requirements, it is highly likely that it may make it more difficult for investors in our stock to resell their shares to third parties or to alternatively dispose of them in the open market or otherwise
