1.General information

 

InterOil Corporation (the "Company" or "InterOil") is a publicly traded, independent oil and gas business with a sole focus on Papua New Guinea. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory) on August 24, 2007. The address of its registered office is Suite 300-204 Black Street, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

 

On July 21, 2016, the Company and Exxon Mobil Corporation (“Exxon”) announced that they had entered into an arrangement agreement under which Exxon agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Company pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon).

 

Under the terms of the transaction, holders of common shares of the Company would receive, in exchange for each common share (including each common share issued to holders of restricted share units pursuant to the transaction):

 

·US$45.00 of shares of Exxon, calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Exxon’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the second trading date immediately prior to closing of the transaction; and

 

·the right to receive a contingent resource payment equal to an additional cash payment of $7.07 per common share for each tcfe gross resources certification of the Elk-Antelope field above 6.2 tcfe, up to a maximum of 10 tcfe.

 

On September 21, 2016, the Company’s shareholders, stock option holders and restricted stock unit holders voted to approve the transaction. The transaction also required approval by the Supreme Court of Yukon and on October 7, 2016, the Supreme Court of Yukon approved the transaction with Exxon. Subsequent to such approval, a shareholder, Mr. Phil Mulacek, filed a notice of appeal. On November 4, 2016, the Court of Appeal of Yukon upheld the appeal and overturned the Supreme Court of Yukon’s approval of the transaction.

 

The Company is currently in discussions with Exxon with respect to extending the outside date of the proposed transaction, which is currently December 14, 2016. The Company is also considering options to file for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. If the transaction is not effected prior to the outside date, either party has the right to terminate the arrangement agreement. No assurances can be made that the Company and Exxon will agree on an extension of the outside date and/or that the Company will be able to effect the transaction with Exxon under the arrangement agreement. On completion of the transaction, financial advisor fees will become payable.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Directors for issue on November 13, 2016. The Board of Directors has the power to amend and reissue these financial statements.

 

2.Significant accounting policies

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including IAS 34 – ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

2.Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

 

(a)Statement on liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.

 

The net current assets of the Company as at September 30, 2016 amounted to $214.0 million compared to $473.2 million as at September 30, 2015. The Company has cash, cash equivalents and cash restricted of $19.3 million as at September 30, 2016 (September 2015 - $126.3 million), of which $10.3 million is restricted (September 30, 2015 - $8.2 million).

 

The Company’s primary use of capital resources has been for exploration and development activities. The Company has to execute exploration activities within a set timeframe to meet the minimum license commitments in relation to the Company’s Petroleum Prospecting Licenses (“PPLs”) and Petroleum Retention Licenses (“PRLs”). Refer to note 14 for further information on these commitments. Subject to meeting the license commitment requirements, the Company’s capital expenditures can be accelerated or decelerated at its discretion.

 

On April 21, 2016, the Company entered into a $400.0 million senior secured capital expenditure facility on a syndicated basis (“ANZ Facility”) arranged by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. The ANZ Facility expires on December 31, 2017 subject to certain interim milestones being achieved. Refer to note 8 for further information on the ANZ Facility.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the PRL 15 joint venture comprising of Total S.A. (“Total”), Oil Search Limited and InterOil (“the PRL 15 Joint Venture”) approved the drilling of a further appraisal well (the Antelope-7 well) within the Antelope field to appraise for additional volumes over the western flank of the field, as indicated by the Antelope-5 well results and seismic reprocessing. As a result, in June 2016 the Company estimated that the interim resource certification payment under the share sale agreement with Total (“Total SSA”) would be received by the end of the first quarter of 2017 as opposed to the end of September 2016. In September 2016 the Company further adjusted the expected timing of the payment from the end of the first quarter of 2017 to April 2017 to take into account the timing of the spudding of Antelope-7. Refer to note 4. The Company believes that the ANZ Facility will enable the Company to fund operations until the estimated interim certification payment is received. The Company can also raise additional funding through asset sales or additional equity to ensure sufficient cash is available to further its development plans.

 

In addition, in July 2015, the Company filed a short form base shelf prospectus with the Alberta Securities Commission and a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system. These filings will enable the Company to add financial flexibility, if needed, in the future and issue, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion of securities in one or more offerings for a period of 25 months from the effective date of the prospectus. These securities may be debt securities, common shares, preferred shares, warrants or a combination thereof. Management expects that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing through one, or a combination of, the aforementioned alternatives.

 

Oil and gas exploration, development and liquefaction are capital intensive. The Company’s PRL 15 Joint Venture share of the costs of construction of an LNG plant and other infrastructure associated with the proposed Elk-Antelope liquefied natural gas joint venture project operated by Total on behalf of the PRL 15 Joint Venture (the “Papua LNG Project”) may amount to billions of dollars and thus exceed the Company’s existing cash balances. The Company’s ability to raise capital depends, among other things, on market conditions. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining new capital or refinance current facilities on terms that are acceptable to the Company, particularly with market volatility.

 

Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in the belief that the Company will realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and for at least the amounts stated, for a period not less than one year from the date of this financial report.

 

(b)Accounting policies

 

The accounting policies followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

 

(c)New standards issued but not yet effective

 

The following new standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2016 and have not been early adopted:

2.Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

 

-IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective from January 1, 2018): This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2018 but is available for early adoption. The Company is yet to assess IFRS 9’s full impact, but does not expect any material changes due to this standard. The Company has not yet decided to early adopt IFRS 9.

 

-IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective from January 1, 2018): The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service transfers to a customer, so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard.

 

-IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective from January 1, 2019): The new standard now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. The standard has an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard also provides guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts). The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard.

 

3.Financial risk management

 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and geographic risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

 

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors of InterOil. The Finance Department identifies, evaluates and actively mitigates financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s operations. The board of directors of InterOil provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas. The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of these risks on the Company’s financial performance.

The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company approximates their carrying amounts.

 

The carrying values (less impairment provision if provided) of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of financial liabilities approximates their fair values which, for disclosure purposes, are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

 

All the financial assets and financial liabilities in the above table are measured at a fair value on a non-recurring basis and are maintained at historical amortized cost.

 

All secured loans are subject to floating interest rates and as such the carrying values of these loans are assumed to approximate their fair values.

Trade and other receivables mainly relates to cash calls receivable from joint venture partners.

 

Sale proceeds receivable from Total

Refer to note 5 for details of the Total SSA. The “Interim Resource Payment”, as defined under the Total SSA is due to the Company following the interim certification and has been calculated to be $593.9 million based on a certification provided by Gaffney Cline & Associates, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, which certified a best case scenario of 7.1 tcfe of natural gas and natural gas liquids in the Elk-Antelope field.

 

Under the assumption that receipt of Interim Resource Payment was to take place before the end of the first quarter of 2017, the expected discounted value of this cash flow as at September 30, 2016 was $557.5 million. However, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company adjusted the expected cash flow timing of the Interim Resource Payment from March 2017 to April 2017 to accommodate the timing of spudding of Antelope-7. The Company recalculated the carrying amount of the receivable by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows at the original effective interest rate and the adjustment has been recognized in profit or loss. The Company recalculated the carrying amount of the receivable as at September 30, 2016 to be $553.7 million, with the resulting adjustment of $3.8 million being recognized in the income statement during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, similar adjustments totaling $32.8 million were recognised for changes in the cash flow timing of the Interim Resource Payment from June 2016 to March 2017, resulting in a total adjustment of $36.6 million recognized in the income statement during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

The Company has recognized $33.3 million as a result of unwinding the discount on the receivable as interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, this receivable has been reduced by $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which represents the carry received from Total for development activities undertaken over PRL 15, which is to be offset against the Interim Resource Payment when due. The following table shows the movement in the receivable during the period.

Onerous contracts and restructuring provision

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company began a restructuring project as a result of the transition of operatorship of PRL 15 to Total and the reduction in activity in the Company’s other license areas. As at September 30, 2016, the Company has a provision of $5.6 million (December 2015 - $10.9 million, September 2015 – nil) in relation to retrenchment of employees and onerous telecommunications contracts. In addition to these costs, the Company has a provision at September 30, 2016 for onerous rig rental of $21.3 million (December 2015 - $48.5 million, September 2015 - nil). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the PRL 15 Joint Venture approved an additional appraisal well, Antelope-7, and the temporary assignment of a rig contracted to the Company to Total for the drilling of Antelope-7, resulting in a $9.1 million reduction to the previously provided for onerous rig contract and a reversal of the previously expensed exploration costs, which is included in the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

15.Subsequent events (cont’d)

 

On September 21, 2016, the Company’s shareholders, stock option holders and restricted stock unit holders voted to approve the transaction. The transaction also required approval by the Supreme Court of Yukon and on October 7, 2016, the Supreme Court of Yukon approved the transaction with Exxon. Subsequent to such approval, a shareholder, Mr. Phil Mulacek, filed a notice of appeal. On November 4, 2016, the Court of Appeal of Yukon upheld the appeal and overturned the Supreme Court of Yukon’s approval of the transaction.

 

The Company is currently in discussions with Exxon with respect to extending the outside date of the proposed transaction, which is currently December 14, 2016. The Company is also considering options to file for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. If the transaction is not effected prior to the outside date, either party has the right to terminate the arrangement agreement. No assurances can be made that the Company and Exxon will agree on an extension of the outside date and/or that the Company will be able to effect the transaction with Exxon under the arrangement agreement. On completion of the transaction, financial advisor fees will become payable.

 

In certain circumstances, the termination of the arrangement agreement entered into with Exxon may result in the Company being required to pay a termination fee of $67 million. The obligation to pay the termination fee will arise where the arrangement agreement is terminated inter alia:

 

(a)by Exxon, because of a change to the InterOil board’s recommendation of the arrangement, except where the change in recommendation resulted from the occurrence of an ExxonMobil Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the arrangement agreement);

 

(b)by the Company in order to enter into a Superior Proposal (as defined in the arrangement agreement); or

 

(c)by Exxon, as a result of a breach of InterOil’s non-solicitation covenants (as set out in the arrangement agreement).
