material production additions.

Post Period End Highlights:

·    The Carrizales Norte-1 (CN-1) well has been drilled and reached its
target depth, and is currently under production testing.

 

Outlook

·    Arrow anticipates two additional wells to be drilled at Carrizales
Norte by year-end.

·    Arrow anticipates two additional wells at RCE by year-end to target
the Gacheta formation which was successfully tested at commercial rates in
RCE-2.

·    Arrow plans to drill two development wells at the Oso Pardo Block in
the Middle Magdalena Basin.

 

Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:

 

"Arrow has had a strong start to 2023, including the drilling of three RCE
wells and the CN-1 well, which is expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's production and reserves, as well as establishing a new core area.
The 3D seismic West Tapir project has completed shooting, is currently being
processed and is expected to further evaluate the 2D recognized fault
prospects. The Arrow Team continues to strive towards excellence and
increasing shareholder value."

Discussion of Operating Results

The Company maintained its overall production and continued improving its
operations. This has allowed the Company to continue to improve its balance
sheet and its business profile.  In early 2023, the Company increased
production on its Tapir block through drilling the RCE-3, RCE-4 and RCE-5
wells, offset by the current production shut in at its Ombu block. There has
also been a decrease in the Company's natural gas production in Canada due to
natural declines.

 TOTAL (Boe/d)             1,635    1,736    1,503    980      1,144

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company's average production
was 1,635 boe/d, which consisted of crude oil production in Colombia of 1,222
bbl/d, natural gas production of 2,459 Mcf/d and minor amounts of natural gas
liquids from the Company's Canadian properties. The Company's Q1 2023 total
production was 43% higher than its total production for the same period in
2022.

 

Discussion of Financial Results

During Q1 2023 the Company continued to realize strong oil prices, offset by
decreased gas prices, as summarized below:

 Corporate operating netback((1))        $42.21      $20.16

( (1))Non-IFRS measure

The operating netbacks of the Company continued improving in 2023 due to
increasing production from its Colombian assets, and consistent crude oil
prices, which were offset by decreases in natural gas prices and increases in
royalties and operating expenses for natural gas.

During Q1 2023, the Company incurred in $4.3 million of capital expenditures,
primarily in connection with the drilling of the three RCE wells, civil works
completed in Rio Cravo and shooting 100 km(2) of 3D seismic in the Tapir block
to highlight existing leads and prospects for drilling. This acceleration in
operational tempo is expected throughout 2023, funded by cash on hand and
cashflow.

By way of a private commercial contract with the recognized interest holder
before Ecopetrol S.A., Arrow is entitled to receive 50% of the production from

About Arrow Exploration Corp.

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

Non‐IFRS Measures

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

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Financial
Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements
were authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company on May 29,
2023. They do not contain all disclosures required by International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements and, accordingly,
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements as at December 31, 2022.

 

These Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis,
except for financial assets and liabilities recorded in accordance with IFRS
9. The Financial Statements have been prepared using the same accounting
policies and methods as the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new accounting standards
effective January 1, 2023. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the
group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were
the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted amendments published by IASB to IAS 8 Changes in Estimates
vs Changes in Accounting Policies and to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements. These
amendments were adopted by the Company from January 1, 2023 but they did not
have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

10.    Decommissioning Liability

 

 

The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending
aggregate carrying amount of the obligation associated with the
decommissioning of oil and gas properties.

 

                                                 March 31,                 December 31, 2022

 Effects of movements in foreign exchange rates  593                       (46,869)

 Obligation, end of the period                   $      3,610,359          $      3,303,301

 

The obligation was calculated using a risk-free discount rate range of 2.50%
to 3.75% in Canada (2022: 2.50% to 3.75%) and between 3.55% and 4.13% in
Colombia (2022: 3.55% and 4.13%) with an inflation rate of 3.0% and 3.5%,
respectively (2022: 3.0% and 3.5%). The majority of costs are expected to
occur between 2023 and 2033. The undiscounted amount of cash flows, required
over the estimated reserve life of the underlying assets, to settle the
obligation, adjusted for inflation, is estimated at $5,006,281 (2022:
$4,480,074).

13.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

Exploration and Production Contracts

The Company has entered into a number of exploration contracts in Colombia
which require the Company to fulfill work program commitments and issue
financial guarantees related thereto. In aggregate, the Company has

Contingencies

 

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

Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2023, the Company had obligations under Letters of Credit
("LC's") outstanding totaling $2.8 million to guarantee work commitments on
exploration blocks and other contractual commitments. In the event the Company
fails to secure the renewal of the letters of credit underlying the ANH
guarantees, or any of them, the ANH could decide to cancel the underlying
exploration and production contract for a particular block, as applicable.

14.    Risk Management

 

 

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

 

(a)    Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity
prices.  Lower commodity prices can also impact the Company's ability to
raise capital.  Commodity prices for crude oil are impacted by world economic
events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.  From time to time the
Company may attempt to mitigate commodity price risk through the use of
financial derivatives. There were no derivative contracts during 2023 and
2022.

 

 

 

(b)    Credit Risk

Credit risk reflects the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their
contractual obligations. The majority of the Company's account receivable
balances relate to petroleum and natural gas sales and balances receivables
with partners in areas operated by the Company.  The Company's policy is to
enter into agreements with customers that are well established and well
financed entities in the oil and gas industry such that the level of risk is
mitigated.

In Colombia, a significant portion of the sales is with a producing company
under an existing sale/offtake agreement with prepayment provisions and priced
using the Brent benchmark. The Company's trade account receivables primarily
relate to sales of crude oil and natural gas, which are normally collected
within 25 days (in Canada) and up to 15 days in advance (in Colombia) of the
month of production.  Other accounts receivable mainly relate to balances
owed by the Company's partner in one of its blocks, and are mainly recoverable
through join billings. The Company has historically not experienced any
collection issues with its customers and partners.

 

(c)    Market Risk

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

 

i)      Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

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

 

ii)       Interest Rate Risk

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

 

(d)    Liquidity Risk

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

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

·      The Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value
less than market value; or

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e)     Capital Management

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

 

                       March 31, 2023               December 31, 2022
 Working capital       $ 2,619,715                  $        (1,316,665)

MANAGEMENT's DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") as provided by the
management of Arrow Exploration Corp. ("Arrow" or the "Company"), is dated as
of May 29, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with Arrow's interim
condensed (unaudited) consolidated financial statements and related notes as
at and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Additional
information relating to Arrow, including its annual consolidated financial
statements and related notes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
(the "Annual Financial Statements"), is available under Arrow's profile on
www.sedar.com (http://www.sedar.com) .

Advisories

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and all
amounts herein are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted,
and all tabular amounts are expressed in United States dollars, unless
otherwise noted.  Additional information for the Company may be found on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Advisory Regarding Forward‐Looking Statements

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

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

Arrow believes the material factors, expectations and assumptions reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time but no assurance
can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will prove to be
correct. The forward-looking statements included in this MD&A are not
guarantees of future performance and should not be unduly relied upon.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially
from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements including, without
limitation: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of general
economic conditions; volatility in commodity prices; industry conditions
including changes in laws and regulations including adoption of new
environmental laws and regulations, and changes in how they are interpreted
and enforced; competition; lack of availability of qualified personnel; the
results of exploration and development drilling and related activities;
obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities; counterparty risk;
risks associated with negotiating with foreign governments as well as country
risk associated with conducting international activities; commodity price
volatility; fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates; environmental
risks; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive
programs; changes to pipeline capacity; ability to secure a credit facility;
ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; risk
that Arrow's evaluation of its existing portfolio of development and
exploration opportunities is not consistent with future results; that
production may not necessarily be indicative of long term performance or of
ultimate recovery; and certain other risks detailed from time to time in
Arrow's public disclosure documents including, without limitation, those risks
identified in Arrow's 2018 AIF, a copy of which is available on Arrow's SEDAR
profile at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of
factors is not exhaustive and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements.

Non‐IFRS Measures

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

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

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

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

( (1))Non-IFRS measures

 

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

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

Llanos Basin

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

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

Middle Magdalena Valley ("MMV") Basin

Oso Pardo Field

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

Ombu E&P Contract - Capella Conventional Heavy Oil Discovery

The Caguan Basin covers an area of approximately 60,000 km(2) and lies between
the Putumayo and Llanos Basins. The primary reservoir target is the Upper
Eocene aged Mirador formation. The Capella structure is a large, elongated
northeast-southwest fault-related anticline, with approximately 17,500 acres
in closure at the Mirador level. The field is located approximately 250 km
away from the nearest offloading station at Neiva, where production from
Capella is trucked.

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

Fir, Alberta

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

Pepper, Alberta

The Company holds a 100% operated WI in 37 sections of Montney P&NG rights
on its Pepper asset in West Central Alberta. The 6-26-53-23W5M Montney gas
well (West Pepper) is tied into the Galloway gas plant for processing. The
3-21-52-22W5M Montney gas well (East Pepper) is currently tied into the
Sundance gas plant for processing. The majority of lands have tenure extending
into 2025.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 Financial and Operational Highlights

·      Arrow recorded $6,992,960 in revenues, net of royalties, on crude
oil sales of 101,951bbls, 350 bbls of natural gas liquids ("NGL's") and
221,296 Mcf of natural gas sales;

·      Funds flow from operations of $4,240,603;

·      Net income of $2,989,735 and adjusted EBITDA was $4,357,790;

Results of Operations

The Company maintained its overall production and continued improving its
operations overall. These have allowed the Company to continue improving its
balance sheet and its business profile.  In early 2023, the Company increased
its production in its Tapir block from drilling of the RCE-3 and RCE-4 wells,
offset by the current production shut in at its Ombu block. Also, there has
been a decrease in the Company's natural gas production in Canada.

OUTLOOK

During 2022, the Company deployed a portion of the capital raised at the time
of the Admission to AIM on a successful two well drilling campaign at Rio
Cravo on the Tapir Block. These results, and the subsequent generation of
positive cashflows in Q3 and Q4 2022, provide Arrow with the funds required
for its $32 million capital program for 2023, including drilling of 10 wells,
seismic acquisition and the development of production facilities.

 

To date, the Company has already drilled the first four wells of the 2023
budget, three at Rio Cravo and its first Carrizales Norte well, which have
added production to the Tapir Block, confirming Arrow's commitment to increase
production and shareholder value. The Company is able to support the remaining
planned 2023 CAPEX program with current cash on hand and cashflow from
operations.

 

Arrow continues to focus on growth and improving its balance sheet and free
cash flow.
