Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Nature of Operations
The
principal business of Discovery Energy Corp. (“Company”) is the exploration and development of the 584,651 gross acres
(914 sq. miles) in South Australia (“Prospect”) covered by Petroleum Exploration License PEL 512 (“License”).
In May 2012, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Discovery Energy SA Ltd., for the purpose of acquiring
a 100% working interest in the License. On May 25, 2016, its status changed from a public to a private legal entity and its name
changed to Discovery Energy SA Pty Ltd. (“Subsidiary”). To date, the Company has not determined whether or
not the Prospect, which overlies portions of the Cooper and Eromanga basins, contains any crude oil and/or natural gas reserves
that are economically recoverable. While the Company’s present focus is on the Prospect, it may consider pursuing other
attractive crude oil and/or natural gas exploration opportunities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”).
Principles
of Consolidation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Subsidiary. Inter-company transactions and balances
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of these financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash
equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As of May 31, 2020, approximately $5,300 of the Company’s cash balances were
uninsured, related to the Company’s Australian subsidiary. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Oil
and Gas Property and Exploration Costs
The
Company is in the exploration stage of evaluating the Prospect and has not yet realized any revenues from its operations. It applies
the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, exploration costs such
as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire
mineral interests in crude oil and/or natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves and
drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during
the holding period and transferred to proven crude oil and/or natural gas properties to the extent associated with successful
exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on the Company’s
current exploration plans, and a valuation allowance is provided if impairment is indicated. Capitalized costs from successful
exploration and development activities associated with producing crude oil and/or natural gas leases, along with capitalized costs
for support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense using the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and/or
natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by qualified petroleum engineers
Long-lived
Assets
The
carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest
impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated
fair value.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and shareholder loans approximate their fair values
due to the short maturity of these items. Certain fair value estimates may be subject to and involve uncertainties and matters
of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
these estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it utilize derivative
instruments in the management of its foreign exchange, commodity price, and/or interest rate market risks.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in these financial statements and
those reported for income tax purposes. The Company uses the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income
taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred taxes
for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is not more likely
than not.
The
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate
income tax system, including a federal corporate rate reduction from 34% to 21%. In accordance with ASC 740, the impact of a change
in the tax law is recorded in the period of enactment.
The
Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions by recognizing in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position,
if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on examination by taxation authorities, based on the technical merits
of the position.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets are translated
at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expense items at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Differences
resulting from translation are presented in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses arising
on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency
transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian and Australian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial
statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Fair
Value Considerations
Historically,
the Company followed Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
as amended by FASB Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157 and related guidance. These provisions relate to the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and the fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities.
ASC 820 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements, and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on
the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, assuming
the transaction occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.
There
are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements - Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in
active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical
or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of
unobservable inputs. The Company uses Level 1 inputs for its fair value measurements whenever there is an active market, with
actual quotes, market prices, and observable inputs on the measurement date. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for fair value measurements
whenever there are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market or quoted prices for identical securities in an inactive
market. The Company uses observable market data whenever available.
In
accordance with ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 815-10-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and ASC 480-10-25 “Liabilities-Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity”, the embedded derivative associated with the convertible note payable and warrant were accounted
for as liabilities during the term of the related note payable and warrant as of February 28, 2018.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Down Round Features. These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down
round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is
indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. The standard was adopted as of March
1, 2018.
Loss
Per Share
Basic
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator)
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the
if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares
assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares
if their effect is anti-dilutive.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the following share equivalents related to convertible debt and warrants to purchase
shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of such shares would
be anti-dilutive.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash
Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts
and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2017. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply,
in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company adopted
this standard on March 1, 2019, and determined that it had no receipts or payments meeting the criteria of the ASU. Therefore,
the adoption had no impact on the Company’s May 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The new lease guidance supersedes Topic
840. The core principle of the guidance is that entities should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Topic
840 does not apply to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar nonregenerative resources, including
the intangible right to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which provides
entities with an alternative modified transition method, for which, comparative periods, including the disclosures related to
those periods, are not restated.
On
March 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and elected practical expedients provided by the new standard whereby, the Company
has elected to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs and
to retain off-balance sheet treatment of short-term leases (i.e., 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option that
the Company is reasonably certain to exercise). As a result of the short-term expedient election, the Company has no leases that
require the recording of a net lease asset and lease liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or have a material
impact on consolidated earnings or cash flows as of March 1, 2019 or May 31, 2020. Moving forward, the Company will evaluate any
new lease commitments for application of Topic 842.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features.
These amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The amendments require companies
to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining
liability or equity classification. The Company adopted the standard as of March 1, 2018.
The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact
on its financial statements.
3.
Going Concern
These
financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated revenues since inception, and is
unlikely to generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent
upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity or debt financing to continue operations, successfully develop the
Prospect and/or obtain producing properties, with a goal of attaining profitable operations. The Company is currently attempting
to complete a significant financing, and in this connection might (a) place a significant amount of additional debentures similar
to those described below, (b) secure an alternative financing arrangement, possibly involving the Company’s equity securities,
or (c) some combination of (a) and (b). The Company has no assurance that it will be able to raise significant additional funds
to develop the Prospect or the additional funds needed for general corporate purposes.
As
of May 31, 2020, the Company had not generated any revenues and had an accumulated loss of $26,575,836 since inception.
The cash balance of the Company was $75,134 as of May 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
current COVID-19 pandemic could continue to, and future similar epidemics or pandemics could also, materially and adversely impact
our ability to finance and conduct our business once it becomes operational, and could materially and adversely impact our operations,
financial condition and results. The COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on the Company’s current
business activities which are primarily focused on compliance and fund raising tasks. The Company has had and continues
to have the same staff, same service providers and same processes as was the case prior to the pandemic.
4.
Oil and Gas Properties
The
License covers 584,651 gross acres (914 sq. miles) in the State of South Australia. The License grants a 100% working interest
in the preceding acreage, which overlies portions of the Cooper and Eromanga basins.
On
October 26, 2012, a 100% interest in the License was officially issued to the Subsidiary.
On
May 19, 2014, the Company received notice from the Government of South Australia that it had issued certain modifications to the
License and had suspended the License for a period of six months. Such a suspension functions like an extension. Under the amended
License, the Company is required to drill 7 exploratory wells rather than 12, as originally required. The 7 required wells must
be drilled in years 3, 4, and 5 (2, 2, and 3 wells, respectively). The amount of required 2D seismic was also reduced to 62 miles
(100 km.) in year 3 from 155 miles (250 km.) in year 2 but the total 3D seismic work guarantee increased to 193 sq. miles (500
sq. km.) from 154 sq. miles (400 sq. km.). However, the 3D seismic survey requirement is spread over three years with 39 sq. miles
(100 sq. km.) in year 2, 77 sq. miles (200 sq. km.) in year 3 and 77 sq. miles (200 sq. km.) in year 4. Subsequent to this modification
and suspension, the Company received two additional six-month suspensions, one in February 2015 and one in July 2015 (this additional
suspension commenced upon the conclusion of the suspension received in February 2015). In February 2016, the Company received
a third additional suspension, which was for one year and which commenced upon the conclusion of the suspension received in July
2015. Combined, these three additional suspensions amount to an accumulated total suspension of two years.
On
June 22, 2016, the Company terminated the February 2016 License suspension in preparation for a 3D seismic survey (the “Nike
Survey”) that was comprised of approximately 69 sq. miles (179 sq. km.) on the southwest portion of the Prospect. After
archaeological and environmental reviews of the survey area, fieldwork by the seismic contractor began on July 26, 2016. The Nike
Survey and field work were completed on October 30, 2016 and the License was suspended again on November 1, 2016.
In
July 2017, the License suspension was lifted in order to conduct a Work Area Clearance Survey (“WAC”) of several
potential drill sites located in the southern portion of the License. After completing the Nike Survey, the Company requested
and received five additional six-month suspensions, one in each of July 2017, June 2018, February 2019, July 2019, and January
2020 resulting in a new expiration date of October 29, 2022.
As
a result of the activities, modifications and suspensions described above, the remaining work commitments are now as follows:
|
*
|
Year
3 ending October 28, 2020 - Shoot 2D seismic data totaling at least approximately 62 miles (100 km.) and shoot 3D seismic
data totaling at a minimum approximately 77 sq. miles (200 sq. km.) and drill two wells.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
Year
4 ending October 29, 2021 - Shoot 3D seismic data totaling at a minimum approximately 77 sq. miles (200 sq. km.) and drill
two wells.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
Year
5 ending October 29, 2022 - Drill three wells.
|
In
four transactions, the Company acquired portions of the royalty interest associated with the PEL 512 License so that the Company
now owns an aggregate 5.0% royalty interest, while the previous holders of the original 7.0% royalty interest continue to hold
a 2.0% royalty interest. The Company does not believe that it will be able to complete its Year 3 Commitment obligations by October
28, 2020 due date. Accordingly, the Company expects to seek an extension of such obligations prior to the due date. While the
Company has to date been successful in obtaining such extensions, it has no assurance that any further extensions will be obtained.
5.
Related Party Transactions
As
of May 31, 2020, and February 29, 2020, the Company owed $1,037,588 and $814,399, respectively, to certain Company directors for
accrued compensation and reimbursement of expenses paid on behalf of the Company.
6.
Notes Payable
In
connection with the Paycheck Protection Program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, on April
27, 2020 the Company borrowed approximately $118,750 at a 1% interest rate per annum. The loan matures on April 27, 2022. In
due course, the Company intends to apply for the forgiveness of this indebtedness to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law. For the three months ended May 31, 2020, the Company accrued $114 in interest at a rate of 1% per annum.
7.
Convertible Debentures Payable
From
May 27, 2016 through May 16, 2018, the Company issued eleven rounds (I thru XI) of senior secured convertible debentures,
the proceeds of which have funded the initial Nike Survey with respect to the Prospect, the interpretation of seismic data acquired,
expenses associated with the Nike Survey, costs associated with the debenture issuances, and general and administrative expenses.
The debentures are secured by virtually all of the Company’s assets owned, directly or indirectly, but for the License.
As discussed elsewhere, the Company may in the future sell additional senior secured convertible debentures having the same terms
as those currently outstanding. The table below provides a summary of the senior secured convertible debentures issued through
May 31, 2020 and related debt discount and amortization details.
