Plain-text annual report

ANNUAL REPORT December 31, 2020 2020 HIGHLIGHTS Petrus Resources Ltd. (“Petrus” or the “Company”) (TSX: PRQ) is pleased to report financial and operating results as at and for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and to provide 2020 year end reserves information as evaluated by Sproule Associates Limited ("Sproule"). The Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") and audited consolidated financial statements are available on SEDAR (the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval) at www.sedar.com. Given the significant turmoil in global energy markets in 2020, Petrus is pleased to report annual results that achieved the objectives management laid out for the year. This includes the generation of free cash flow in excess of capital expenditures used to repay debt and continue to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. Petrus generated $26.4 million of funds flow in 2020. This was used to fund a capital program of $14.3 million, the lowest in the Company's history, with the remainder used to reduce the balance drawn on the company’s Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”). In light of the volatile commodity prices during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company pursued a very disciplined capital program. To conserve cash, Petrus drilled 4 gross wells (3.2 net) during the year. The Company continues to focus the majority of capital spending in its Ferrier core area where ownership of key infrastructure generates low operating costs, high netbacks and quick capital payouts. • • • • • • Debt repayment - Reduction of debt was the top priority for the Company in 2020 and Petrus was successful in reducing net debt by $9.4 million during the year. Since December 31, 2015 Petrus has repaid $112.4 million (50%) of net debt. As part of the extension agreement reached in mid-2020 in respect of Petrus' second lien term loan ("Term Loan"), interest is now paid-in-kind and is added to the balance of the loan outstanding. Petrus focused on paying down the balance of the RCF, which was reduced by $14.8 million during the year, and is ahead of its required scheduled repayments. Stronger natural gas pricing – Natural gas prices showed marked improvement from the prior year and continue to strengthen. Petrus’ average realized price was $2.57/mcf in 2020, compared to $1.89/mcf in 2019, a 36% improvement. Company production was weighted 70% towards natural gas in 2020. Free funds flow – In 2020 Petrus generated funds flow of $26.4 million ($0.53/share), and invested $14.3 million in capital projects including the drilling of three 100% working interest wells. During the fourth quarter of 2020, Petrus generated funds flow of $6.4 million. Increased PDP reserves – In 2020, Petrus’ development program generated PDP reserve volume additions of 2.9 mmboe, or 1.2x production in the year. Despite decreased capital spending, the Company produced 2.4 mmboe during 2020 and ended the year with 12.2 mmboe of PDP reserves. Petrus realized Finding Development and Acquisition (“FD&A”) costs of $4.83/boe for PDP reserves, which are the best in the Company's history. Low operating costs – Total annual operating costs were $4.64/boe in 2020. The Company continues to focus on optimizing its cost structure, particularly in the Ferrier area, through facility ownership and control. Reduced general and administrative costs – Petrus reduced gross general and administrative expenses ("G&A") by $1.0 million in 2020, in comparison to 2019, to a total of $5.2 million. This marks the fourth consecutive year of G&A cost reductions and a 40% reduction since 2017. 2021 OUTLOOK Petrus’ Board of Directors has approved a first quarter 2021 capital budget of $9.0 million to drill 3 gross (2.1 net) Cardium wells in its Ferrier area. With current commodity prices and the low operating cost structure utilizing company owned infrastructure, new wells operated by Petrus in the Ferrier area are expected to reach payout in under one year. Petrus is committed to maintaining its financial flexibility and the Company will determine subsequent quarter capital spending as the year progresses. With stronger forward oil and gas prices than were experienced through most of 2020, Petrus management is forecasting stronger cash flow in 2021 than 2020 that will be used to fund a larger capital program and grow production from 2020 levels. Management anticipates that the 2020 capital plan will be funded by funds flow, with free funds flow used to continue significant debt reduction targets. With improved commodity pricing so far in 2021, Petrus has been active in adding price protection for the remainder of the year through additional forward sale contracts. The average volume of oil hedged for 2021 (825 bbl/d) represents 41% of fourth quarter 2020 average oil production. The 15,250 GJ/day average natural gas hedged for 2021 represents 61% of fourth quarter 2020 average natural gas production. Petrus' management continues to layer in additional hedged volumes into 2022. Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Management's Discussion & Analysis attached hereto.

Additional reserve information as required under NI 51-101 will be included in our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020, which will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval) at www.sedar.com. Petrus has a reserves committee, comprised of independent board members, that reviews the qualifications and appointment of the independent reserves evaluator. The committee also reviews the procedures for providing information to the evaluators. All booked reserves are based upon annual evaluations by the independent qualified reserve evaluator conducted in accordance with the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101. The evaluations are conducted using all available geological and engineering data. The reserves committee has reviewed the reserves information and approved the 2020 Sproule Report. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s before tax reserves as evaluated by Sproule: As at December 31, 2020 Total Company Interest (1)(3) Reserve Category Proved Producing Proved Non-Producing Proved Undeveloped Total Proved Proved + Probable Producing Total Probable Conventional Natural Gas (mmcf) Light and Medium Crude Oil (mbbl) 53,172 309 52,448 105,929 66,071 65,186 1,158 8 943 2,109 1,435 2,231 NGL (mbbl) Total (mboe) NPV 0%(2) ($000s) NPV 5%(2) ($000s) NPV 10%(2) ($000s) 2,150 14 3,492 5,657 2,650 2,894 12,170 74 13,177 25,421 15,097 15,989 120,922 130,024 119,122 726 113,185 234,833 167,144 224,418 639 68,344 199,007 154,424 142,949 571 39,745 159,438 133,562 97,553 Total Proved Plus Probable (1)Tables may not add due to rounding. (2)NPV 0%, NPV 5% and NPV 10% refer to the risked net present value of the future net revenue of the Company's reserves, discounted by 0%, 5% and 10%, respectively and is presented before tax and based on Sproule's pricing assumptions. (3)Total company interest reserve volumes presented above and in the remainder of this Annual Report are presented as the Company's total working interest before the deduction of royalties (but after including any royalty interests of Petrus). 171,115 459,251 341,956 256,991 41,410 8,551 4,340 In 2020, Petrus’ development program generated Proved Developed Producing ("PDP") reserve volume additions of 1.3 mmboe. The Company produced 2.4 mmboe during 2019 and ended the year with 12.2 mmboe of PDP reserve volume (34% oil and liquids). Petrus ended 2020 with $119.7 million, $159.4 million and $257.0 million of Proved Developed ("PD"), Total Proved ("TP"), and Proved plus Probable (“P+P”), respectively, reserve value before-tax, discounted at 10%, based on the 2020 Sproule Report. In 2020, the Company realized Finding and Development (“FD&A”)(1)(2) costs of $4.83/boe for PDP reserves. Based on the 2020 Sproule Report, the Company’s PDP reserve value before-tax, discounted at 10% is $2.41 per share. On the same basis, the P+P reserve value is $5.20 per share.

Page |7 OPERATIONS UPDATE Fourth quarter average production by area was as follows: For the three months ended December 31, 2020 Natural gas (mcf/d) Oil (bbl/d) NGLs (bbl/d) Total (boe/d) Ferrier 19,637 569 860 4,702 Foothills 1,425 113 7 357 Central Alberta 5,118 298 147 1,298 Total 26,180 980 1,014 6,357 Fourth quarter production averaged 6,357 boe/d in 2020 versus 6,463 boe/d in the third quarter. Production was lower due to natural declines as no new wells were brought on production during the quarter. One well completed during the fourth quarter is awaiting tie-in and is expected to be brought on production in the first quarter of 2021. Petrus’ Board of Directors has approved a first quarter 2021 capital budget of $9.0 million to drill 3 gross (2.1 net) Cardium wells in the Ferrier area. With current commodity prices and the low operating cost structure utilizing company owned infrastructure, new wells operated by Petrus in the Ferrier area are expected to reach payout in under one year. With stronger forward oil and natural gas prices than were experienced through most of 2020, Petrus management is forecasting stronger cash flow in 2021 than 2020 that will be used to fund a larger capital program and grow production from 2020 levels. Management anticipates that the 2020 capital plan will be funded by funds flow, with free funds flow used to continue significant debt reduction targets. With improved commodity pricing so far in 2021, Petrus has been active in adding price protection for the remainder of the year through additional forward sale contracts. The average volume of oil hedged for 2021 (825 bbl/d) represents 41% of fourth quarter 2020 average oil production. The 15,250 GJ/day average natural gas hedged for 2021 represents 61% of fourth quarter 2020 average natural gas production. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) totaled $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $4.4 million in 2019. The Company drilled one 1 gross (1.0 net) Cardium light oil well during the fourth quarter. Capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions and dispositions) totaled $14.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $18.1 million in 2019. The decrease from the prior year is attributed to the Company's strategy to prioritize debt repayment and moderate capital spending.

The 30% decrease is due to lower production and total realized price in the fourth quarter of 2020; Petrus' total realized price was $24.05/boe compared to $27.39/boe in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Petrus generated funds flow of $26.4 million compared to $33.6 million in the prior year. The 22% decrease is due to lower production and lower oil prices during the year. Petrus reported a net loss of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year is primarily due to the accounting for unrealized hedging on financial derivatives; during the fourth quarter of 2020 a $0.5 million unrealized gain was recorded, whereas during the the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $3.7 million, which had a material impact on net loss in the fourth quarter of 2019. The differences are due to changes in commodity prices at December 31 of the respective years. On a twelve month basis, the Company generated a net loss of $97.6 million in 2020 compared to a net loss of $42.2 million in 2019. The increase is primarily due to the $98.0 million impairment expense recorded during the first quarter of 2020 on the Company's Ferrier CGU assets.

Fourth quarter oil and natural gas revenue in 2020 was $14.1 million compared to $21.0 million in 2019. The 33% decrease is due to to 23% lower production and lower oil prices. Annual average production in 2020 was 6,608 boe/d (15% light oil), 20% lower than 2019 (8,306 boe/d; 19% light oil). Total oil and natural gas revenue decreased from $71.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $50.4 million in 2020 due to 20% lower production.

The increase is due to higher natural gas prices. Fourth quarter 2020 average realized natural gas price was $3.07/mcf, compared to $2.65/mcf in 2019 (16% increase). Fourth quarter 2020 natural gas revenue was $7.4 million which accounted for 53% of oil and natural gas revenue, compared to revenue of $8.0 million accounting for 38% in 2019. Fourth quarter natural gas revenue increased from 2019 due to 6% higher natural gas pricing. Crude oil and condensate Oil and condensate revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $4.5 million accounted for approximately 32% of oil and natural gas revenue, compared to revenue of $11.0 million, accounting for 53% in 2019. The average realized price of Petrus’ light oil and condensate was $49.64/bbl for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $65.16/bbl for the prior year. The decrease of 24% is attributable to the 26% lower oil pricing. Oil and condensate revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $16.5 million, which accounted for 33% of oil and natural gas revenue, compared to revenue of $37.8 million, which accounted for 53% in 2019. The average realized price of Petrus’ light oil and condensate was $44.14/bbl for 2020 compared to $64.11/bbl for the prior year. The decrease of 31% is attributable to lower oil pricing. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) The Company’s NGL production mix consists of ethane, propane, butane and pentane. The pricing received for NGL production is based on annual contracts effective the first of April each year. The contract prices are based on the product mix, the fractionation process required and the demand for fractionation facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company's realized NGL price averaged $23.52/bbl, compared to $20.62/bbl in the prior year. The 14% decrease is attributed to higher contract prices for the NGL byproducts. Fourth quarter Page |11 market pricing for propane at Conway increased 29% from the prior year. Petrus' butane production is priced as a function of WTI (oil) which also decreased in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year. In 2020, the Company's realized NGL price averaged $20.84/bbl compared to $22.13/bbl in 2019. The 6% decrease in realized pricing is attributed to lower market pricing for propane at Conway. Petrus' ownership and control of critical processing facilities enables the Company to respond and continually optimize its production revenue streams. To improve operating netback, during the third quarter of 2019, Petrus ceased sending certain natural gas for additional third party deepcut processing to extract additional NGLs. This resulted in lower NGL production volume, however, the heating value of natural gas sales increased and processing fees decreased. Petrus continues to monitor NGL market pricing and is able to modify its operations accordingly. Fourth quarter 2020 NGL revenue was $2.2 million and accounted for 16% of oil and natural gas revenue, compared to revenue of $1.9 million accounting for 9% in 2019. NGL revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $7.5 million and accounted for 15% of oil and natural gas revenue, compared to revenue of $10.9 million accounting for 15% in 2019. ROYALTY EXPENSE Royalties are paid to the Government of Alberta and to gross overriding royalty owners. The following table shows the Company’s royalty expense (net of royalty allowances and incentives) for the periods shown: Royalty Expense ($000s) Crown Percent of production revenue Gross overriding Total Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 443 3 % 738 1,181 1,232 6 % 986 2,218 1,785 4 % 3,409 5,194 3,298 5 % 3,816 7,114 Fourth quarter royalty expense decreased from $2.2 million in 2019 to $1.2 million in 2020. For the year, total royalty expense decreased from $7.1 million in 2019 to $5.2 million in 2020. The decreases are due to lower production and oil prices and more favorable royalty rates. Fourth quarter gross overriding royalties decreased from $1.0 million in 2019 to $0.7 million in 2020, due to lower oil prices. Gross overriding royalties for the year decreased from $3.8 million in 2019 to $3.4 million in 2020, due to the decrease in production and lower oil and NGL prices. RISK MANAGEMENT The Company utilizes financial derivative contracts to mitigate commodity price risk and provide stability and sustainability to the Company's economic returns, funds flow and capital development plan. Petrus’ risk management program is governed by guidelines approved by its Board of Directors. The impact of the contracts that were outstanding during the reporting periods are actual cash settlements and are recorded as realized hedging gains (losses). The unrealized gain (loss) is recorded to demonstrate the change in fair value of the outstanding contracts during the financial reporting period for financial statement purposes. Petrus does not follow hedge accounting for any of its risk management contracts in place. Petrus considers all of its risk management contracts to be effective economic hedges of its underlying business transactions. The table below shows the realized and unrealized gain or loss on risk management contracts for the periods shown: Net Gain (Loss) on Financial Derivatives ($000s) Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Realized hedging gain (loss) Unrealized hedging gain (loss) Net gain (loss) on derivatives 381 491 872 (1,417) (3,668) (5,085) 6,518 1,661 8,179 (1,344) (11,273) (12,617) In the fourth quarter, the Company recognized a realized hedging gain of $0.4 million in 2020, compared to a $1.4 million loss in 2019. The realized gain in the fourth quarter is due to lower oil commodity prices (relative to the respective contracts outstanding). The realized gain in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased the Company’s total realized price by $0.65/boe, compared to a decrease of $1.86/boe in 2019. Page |12 For the year, the Company recognized a realized hedging gain of $6.5 million in 2020, compared to the $1.3 million loss realized in 2019. Similar to the fourth quarter, the realized gain for the year is due to lower oil commodity prices (relative to the respective contracts outstanding). The realized gain increased Petrus' total realized price by $2.70/boe in 2020, compared to a decrease of $0.44/boe in 2019. The fourth quarter unrealized hedging gain of $0.5 million in 2020 ($3.7 million unrealized loss in 2019) represents the change in the unrealized net risk management position during the quarter. The unrealized hedging gain of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 ($11.3 million unrealized loss in 2019) represents the change in the unrealized risk management net asset position during 2020. These changes are a result of both the realization of hedging gains and losses during the year, changes related to contracts entered into during the year and changes to commodity prices. The Company’s risk management contracts provide protection from significant changes in crude oil and natural gas commodity prices for 2020, 2021 and 2022. The Company aims to hedge approximately half of its forecast production for the following year, and approximately 30% of its forecast production for the subsequent year. The Company's hedging strategy is intended to provide stability and sustainability to the Company's economic returns, funds flow and capital development plan. A summary of Petrus’ risk management contracts is included in note 10 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The table below summarizes Petrus’ average crude oil and natural gas hedged volumes. The average volume of oil hedged for 2021 (825 bbl/d) represents 41% of fourth quarter 2020 average oil production. The 15,250 GJ/day average natural gas hedged for 2021 represents 61% of fourth quarter 2020 average natural gas production. The following table summarizes the average fixed prices for the 2021 to 2022 oil and natural gas contracts outstanding as at the date of this report: Q1 Q2 2021 Q3 Q4 Avg.(1) Q1 Q2 Oil hedged (bbl/d) Avg.

On a per boe basis, operating expense was 24% higher at $5.53/boe in 2020 compared to $4.47/boe in 2019. The increases are attributable to well workover projects completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net operating expense totaled $11.2 million, an 13% decrease from the $12.9 million in 2019. The decrease is attributable to 23% lower production partially offset by an increase in well workover projects. On a per boe basis operating expense was $4.64/boe for the year ended December 31, 2020, 9% higher than the $4.25/boe in 2019. The increase is related to lower production. Page |13 TRANSPORTATION EXPENSE The following table shows transportation expense paid in the reporting periods: Transportation Expense ($000s) Transportation expense Transportation expense ($/boe) Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 983 1.68 991 1.30 3,452 1.43 3,814 1.26 Petrus pays commodity and demand charges for transporting its gas on pipeline systems. The Company also incurs trucking costs on the portion of its oil and natural gas liquids production that is not pipeline connected. Fourth quarter 2020 transportation expense was $1.0 million or $1.68/boe compared to $1.0 million or $1.30/boe in 2019. The increase in transportation expense per boe is attributed to 23% lower production. For the year ended December 31, 2020, transportation expense totaled $3.5 million, or $1.43/boe, compared to $3.8 million or $1.26/boe in 2019. The total decrease is attributed to decreased trucking costs and the increase on a per boe basis is due to decreased production. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE The following table illustrates the Company’s general and administrative ("G&A") expense which is shown net of capitalized costs directly related to exploration and development activities: General and Administrative Expense ($000s) Personnel, consultants and directors Administrative expenses Regulatory and professional expenses Gross general and administrative expense Capitalized general and administrative expense Overhead recoveries General and administrative expense General and administrative expense ($/boe) Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 1,039 300 326 1,665 (378) (228) 1,059 1.81 1,139 613 218 1,970 (439) (72) 1,459 1.91 3,028 1,102 1,118 5,248 (1,117) (722) 3,409 1.41 3,875 1,657 685 6,217 (1,506) (1,067) 3,644 1.20 Fourth quarter gross G&A expense was 35% lower than the prior year ($1.7 million in 2020 compared to $2.0 million in 2019) which is attributed to lower office expenses and staffing costs due to fewer personnel. Fourth quarter 2020 G&A expense (net) was $1.1 million or $1.81/boe, compared to $1.5 million or $1.91/boe in 2019. The decreases in 2020 on a net basis are attributed to increased cost efficiencies and higher overhead recoveries due to higher capital activity. For the year ended December 31, 2020, gross G&A expense was $5.2 million compared to $6.2 million in 2019, which represents a 21% decrease. Annual G&A expense (net) in 2020 was $3.4 million or $1.41/boe compared to $3.6 million or $1.20/boe in 2019 due to lower production. The decreases are attributed to lower office rent (IFRS 16), and fewer personnel resulting in lower office and personnel expenses. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE The following table illustrates the Company’s share-based compensation expense which is shown net of capitalized costs directly related to exploration and development activities: Share-Based Compensation Expense ($000s) Gross share-based compensation expense Capitalized share-based compensation expense Share-based compensation expense Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 163 (20) 143 125 34 159 483 (102) 381 529 (128) 401 Fourth quarter net share-based compensation expense was $0.1 million in 2020, which is 10% lower than the $0.2 million in 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net share-based compensation expense was $0.4 million, which is consistent with the $0.4 million in 2019. Page |14 FINANCE EXPENSE The following table illustrates the Company’s finance expense which includes cash and non-cash expenses: Finance Expense ($000s) Interest expense Deferred financing costs Non-cash term loan interest payment-in-kind Accretion on decommissioning obligations Total finance expense Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 1,456 145 936 107 2,644 1,939 121 — 176 2,236 6,661 625 1,813 494 9,593 8,241 495 — 777 9,513 Fourth quarter total finance expense was $2.6 million in 2020, comprised of $0.9 million of non-cash accretion of its decommissioning obligations, $1.5 million of cash interest expense, $0.1 million of deferred financing fee amortization, both of which are related to the RCF and Term Loan (as defined below), and $0.9 million of non-cash term loan interest payment-in-kind. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company incurred total finance expense of $2.2 million, comprised of $0.2 million in non-cash accretion of its decommissioning obligation, $1.9 million cash interest expense and $0.1 million of deferred financing fee amortization. The Company incurred total finance expense of $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is higher than the $9.5 million for 2019. The decrease is due to the lower RCF balance outstanding. The increase in total finance expense from the prior year is due to the financing costs related to the RCF and Term Loan extensions as well as higher interest rates. DEPLETION AND DEPRECIATION The following table compares depletion and depreciation expense recorded in the reporting periods shown: Depletion and Depreciation Expense ($000s) Depletion and depreciation expense Depletion and depreciation expense ($/boe) Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 6,121 10.47 8,735 11.45 25,231 10.43 36,564 12.06 Depletion and depreciation expense is calculated on a unit-of-production (boe) basis. This fluctuates period to period primarily as a result of changes in the underlying proved plus probable reserve base and in the amount of costs subject to depletion and depreciation, including future development cost. Such costs are segregated and depleted on an area by area basis relative to the respective underlying proved plus probable reserve base. Fourth quarter depletion and depreciation expense in 2020 was $6.1 million or $10.47/boe, compared to $8.7 million or $11.45/boe in 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $25.2 million or $10.43/boe, compared to $36.6 million or $12.06/ boe in 2019. The decreases in depletion and depreciation expense per boe are attributed to the impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2020. IMPAIRMENT The following table illustrates impairment losses recorded in the reporting periods: Impairment ($000s) Impairment Total Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 — — — — 98,000 98,000 24,655 24,655 During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the significant decrease in forward benchmark commodity prices in the first quarter, the Company identified indicators of impairment and conducted an impairment test on all of the Company's Cash Generating Units ("CGUs"). No impairment was recorded for the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the Ferrier CGU, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $98.0 million. For more information, refer to notes 5 and 6 of the December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements. Petrus has certain CGUs that are not core to the Company. As such, a sales process was put in place to potentially divest of the Company's Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during 2019. Based on interest expressed in the Foothills and Central Alberta assets, and information obtained through the divestiture process, Petrus recognized an impairment loss of $24.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company has not issued any preferred Shares. The following table details the number of issued and outstanding securities for the periods shown: Share Capital (000s) Weighted average Common Shares outstanding Basic Fully diluted Common shares outstanding Basic Fully diluted Stock options outstanding Three months ended Three months ended Twelve months ended Twelve months ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 49,469 49,469 49,469 49,469 2,277 49,469 49,469 49,469 49,469 2,362 49,469 49,469 49,469 49,469 2,277 49,472 49,472 49,469 49,469 2,362 At December 31, 2020, the Company had 49,469,358 common shares and 2,276,923 stock options outstanding. The Company issued 1,122,276 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2020: (a) 748,179 stock options were issued on August 18, 2020 at an exercise price of $0.23. (b) 374,097 stock options were issued on November 30, 2020 at an exercise price of $0.24. The Company has a deferred share unit plan in place whereby it may issue deferred share units ("DSUs") to directors of the Company. At December 31, 2020, 2,158,270 (December 31, 2019 – 1,177,510) DSUs were issued and outstanding. Each DSU entitles the participants to receive, at the Company's discretion, either Common Shares or cash equivalent to the number of DSUs multiplied by the current trading price of the equivalent number of common shares. All DSUs vest and become payable upon retirement of the director. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Petrus has two debt instruments outstanding. The first is a reserve-based, senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, which is comprised of an operating facility and a syndicated term-out facility (together, the “Revolving Credit Facility” or “RCF”). The second is a subordinated secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). (a) Revolving Credit Facility At December 31, 2020, the RCF was comprised of a $20 million operating facility and a $63 million syndicated term-out facility. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. The RCF's maturity date is May 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a $0.6 million letter of credit outstanding against the RCF (December 31, 2019 – $0.7 million) and had drawn $77.5 million against the RCF (December 31, 2019 – $92.3 million) excluding non-cash deferred financing fees of $0.3 million. In July 2020, the Company completed its annual RCF review. The borrowing base of the RCF was updated to $88.5 million, with a maturity date of May 31, 2021. The borrowing base of the RCF is required to reduce by $2.75 million at the end of each fiscal quarter. The RCF extension includes the removal of the Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as well as the Proved and PDP Asset Coverage Ratios from the financial covenants, and the Working Capital ratio covenant has been updated to a minimum test of 0.6:1.0 (or such lower amount as agreed to by the majority of the lenders under the RCF which shall not be less than 0.5:1.0). As part of the RCF extension the Bankers Acceptance Stamping fees will range between 350 bps and 600 bps which will result in an increase in the RCF interest rate of between 150 bps and 250 bps. The amount of the RCF is subject to a borrowing base review performed on a semi-annual basis by the lenders, based primarily on reserves and commodity prices estimated by the lenders as well as other factors. In addition, asset dispositions require unanimous lender consent. A decrease in the borrowing base could result in a reduction to the available credit under the RCF. In the event that the lenders reduce the borrowing base below the amount drawn at the time of redetermination, the Company has 30 days to eliminate any shortfall by repaying amounts in excess of the new re-determined borrowing base. Page |16 (b) Term Loan At December 31, 2020 the Company had a $37 million (December 31, 2019 – $35 million) Term Loan outstanding, which is due July 31, 2021. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. In July 2020, the Company extended the maturity of the Term Loan to July 31, 2021. The Term Loan bears interest that accrues at a per annum rate of the (three-month) Canadian Dealer Offered Rate plus 975 basis points. All of the interest will be made by way of payment-in-kind and added to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan in lieu of monthly payment of cash interest. The Term Loan extension also includes the removal of the Total Debt to EBITDA ratio as well as the Proved and PDP Asset Coverage Ratios from the financial covenants. The Working Capital ratio covenant has been updated to a minimum test of 0.6:1.0 (or such lower amount as agreed to by the lenders under the Term Loan which shall not be less than 0.5:1.0). Liquidity At December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency (excluding non-cash risk management assets and liabilities) of $114.5 million due to the classification of the Company's borrowings under its RCF and Term Loan. However, the Company remains in compliance with all financial covenants pertaining to its debt, and based on current available information relating to future production volumes, forward commodity pricing, future costs including capital, operating and general and administrative, forward exchange rates, interest rates and taxes, all of which are subject to measurement uncertainty, management expects to comply with all financial covenants during the subsequent 12 month period. Financial Covenants The RCF and the Term Loan carry financial covenants that are described in note 7 of the Company's December 31, 2020 audited annual consolidated financial statements. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2020. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at December 31, 2020: $000s Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Risk management liability Bank indebtedness and long term debt(1) Lease obligations Total (1)Excludes deferred finance fees.

The Company is exposed to a number of risks, both financial and operational, through the pursuit of its strategic objectives. Actively managing these risks improves the ability to effectively execute Petrus' business strategy. Financial risks associated with the oil and natural gas industry include fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and the cost of goods and services. Financial risks also include third party credit risk and liquidity risk. Operational risks include reservoir performance uncertainties, competition, regulatory, environment and safety concerns. For a more in-depth discussion of risk management, see notes 10 and 15 of the Company’s December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements.

Petrus' financial position, results of operations and corporate netback are affected by commodity prices, exchange rates, Canadian price differentials and production levels. Petrus’ average quarterly production decreased from 8,505 boe/d in the first quarter of 2019 to 6,357 boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2020. The 25% production decrease is attributable to Petrus' shift in focus to liquids production growth in order to maximize value in light of the current natural gas commodity price environment as well as certain development activity postponed to prioritize debt repayment. In addition the decrease is due to certain production volume in the Foothills area being shut-in due to uneconomic natural gas pricing. Commodity price improvements enable higher reinvestment in exploration, development and acquisition activities as they increase the cash flows from operating activities. Commodity price reductions reduce revenues received and can challenge the economics of the Company's development program as the quantity of reserves may not be economically recoverable. Petrus' investment in its assets, and its ability to replace and grow reserve volumes, will be dependent on its ability to obtain debt and equity financing as well as the funds it receives from operations.

Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of the financial statements are outlined below. The Company’s critical accounting estimates can be read in note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION Significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies can be read in note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020. New standards and interpretations The Company's discussion on new standards and interpretations can be read in note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended December 31, 2020. Disclosure Controls and Procedures Petrus’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed, or caused to be designed under their supervision, disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P"), as defined by National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material information relating to the Company is made known to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others, particularly during the period in which the annual filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in securities legislation. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Petrus have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the effectiveness of the Company's DC&P as at December 31, 2020 and have concluded that the Company's DC&P are effective at December 31, 2020 for the foregoing purposes. Page |19 Internal Control over Financial Reporting Internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109, includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of Petrus; (ii) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of Petrus are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of Petrus; and (iii) are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining ICFR for Petrus. For the year ended December 31, 2020, they have designed ICFR, or caused it to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The control framework used to design the Company’s ICFR is the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, Petrus conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as at December 31, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as at December 31, 2020, Petrus maintained effective ICFR. It should be noted that while the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Company’s controls provide a reasonable level of assurance with regard to their effectiveness, a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met and it should not be expected that the control system will prevent all errors or fraud. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This MD&A makes reference to the terms "operating netback", "corporate netback" and "net debt". These indicators are not recognized measures under GAAP (IFRS) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP (IFRS). Accordingly, the Company's use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly defined measures presented by other companies. Management uses these terms for the reasons set forth below. Operating Netback Operating netback is a common non-GAAP financial measure used in the oil and natural gas industry which is a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the specific operating performance by product at the oil and natural gas lease level. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to operating netback is funds flow. Operating netback is calculated as oil and natural gas revenue less royalties, operating and transportation expenses. It is presented on an absolute value and per unit basis. Funds Flow and Corporate Netback Corporate netback is a common non-GAAP financial measure used in the oil and natural gas industry which evaluates the Company’s profitability at the corporate level. Corporate netback is equal to funds flow which is a directly comparable GAAP measure. Petrus analyzes these measures on an absolute value and per unit basis. Management believes that funds flow and corporate netback provide information to assist a reader in understanding the Company's profitability relative to current commodity prices. It is calculated, in the following table, as the operating netback less general and administrative expense, finance expense, decommissioning expenditures, plus other income and the net realized gain (loss) on financial derivatives.

Petrus uses net debt as a key indicator of its leverage and strength of its balance sheet. There is no GAAP measure that is reasonably comparable to net debt.

OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES Our oil and gas reserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes disclosure of our oil and natural gas reserves and other oil and natural gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, is contained in the AIF. The recovery and reserve estimates contained herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. F&D and FD&A Costs FD&A cost is defined as capital costs for the time period including change in FDC divided by change in reserves including revisions and production for that same time period. F&D cost is defined as capital costs for the time period including change in FDC divided by change in reserves including revisions and production for that same time period, excluding acquisitions and dispositions. Both F&D and FD&A costs take into account reserves revisions during the year on a per boe basis. The methodology used to calculate F&D costs includes disclosure required to bring the proved undeveloped and probable reserves to production. Annually, changes in forecast FDC occur as a result of Petrus' development, acquisition and disposition activities, undeveloped reserve revision and capital cost estimates. These values reflect the independent evaluator's best estimate of the cost to bring the proved and probable undeveloped reserves to production. In 2019, the P+P FD&A and F&D costs including changes in FDC can generate non meaningful information because acquisitions and dispositions can have a significant impact on our ongoing reserves replacement costs. Reserve Life Index Reserve life index is defined as total reserves by category divided by the annualized fourth quarter production. Reserve Replacement Ratio The reserve replacement ratio is calculated by dividing the yearly change in reserves net of production by the actual annual production for the year. Page |21 Management uses oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare Petrus' operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this MD&A, should not be relied upon for investment or other purposes. FD&A Recycle Ratio The FD&A recycle ratio is calculated by dividing field netback by FD&A. Management uses oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures to compare Petrus' operations overtime. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this MD&A, should not be relied upon for investment. ADVISORIES Basis of Presentation Financial data presented above has largely been derived from the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP which require publicly accountable enterprises to prepare their financial statements using IFRS. Accounting policies adopted by the Company are set out in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The reporting and the measurement currency is the Canadian dollar. All financial information is expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Petrus' actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these FOFI, or if any of them do so, what benefits Petrus will derive therefrom. Petrus has included the FOFI in order to provide readers with a more complete perspective on Petrus' future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. These forward-looking statements and FOFI are made as of the date of this MD&A and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements and FOFI, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities laws. BOE Presentation The oil and natural gas industry commonly expresses production volumes and reserves on a barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to sum oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved measurement of results and comparisons with other industry participants. Petrus uses the 6:1 boe measure which is the approximate energy equivalence of the two commodities at the burner tip. Boe’s do not represent an economic value equivalence at the wellhead and therefore may be a misleading measure if used in isolation.

Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Petrus Resources Ltd. (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note 2(a) in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company’s continued successful operations are dependent on its ability to restructure its debt or obtain additional financing. As stated in Note 2(a) these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”) and Exploration and Evaluation (“E&E”) Assets As at December 31, 2020, the carrying value of PP&E and E&E was $152 million and $18 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, an impairment charge of $75 million and $23 million was recorded with respect to PP&E and E&E, respectively. PP&E and E&E are tested for impairment only when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a cash generating unit (‘CGU’) may exceed the recoverable amount. Impairment is determined by estimating a CGU’s respective recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the Ferrier CGU was determined by using the value-in-use method, whereby the net cash flows are estimated using current business models and budgets approved by management for the CGU. The Company discloses significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in respect of impairment in Note 3 to the financial statements, and the results of their analysis in Note 5 and 6. Auditing the estimated recoverable amount of the Company’s Ferrier CGU was complex due to the subjective nature of the various management inputs and assumptions and commodity price volatility. The primary inputs noted in the value-in-use model were production, pricing, royalties, operating costs, capital costs, general and administrative (G&A) expenses and discount rate. To test the Company's estimated recoverable amount for the Ferrier CGU, we performed the following procedures, among others: – – – – – – Involved our valuation specialists to assess the methodology applied, and the various inputs utilized in determining the discount rate by referencing current industry, economic, and comparable company information, company and cash-flow specific risk premiums. Compared forecasted production against historically realized production. Compared forecasted prices used in the impairment test to third-party reserve engineer data. Assessed forecasted royalties, operating costs, G&A and capital cost data by comparing it to historical performance. Assessed the competence and objectivity of the Company’s external reserve engineer. Tested the completeness and accuracy of the reserve engineer report by agreeing all current year production, revenue, royalty, operating cost, and capital cost data to management’s accounting records. – Evaluated the adequacy of the impairment note disclosure included in Notes 5 and 6 of the accompanying financial statements in relation to this matter. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: a. Management’s Discussion and Analysis b. Annual Report Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion & Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. We obtained the Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. b. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the c. d. e. circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Ryan MacDonald.

NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION Petrus Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or "Petrus") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 25, 2015. The principal undertaking of Petrus is the investment in energy business-related assets. The operations of the Company consist of the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of these assets. These consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities and are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries, Petrus Resources Corp. and Petrus Resources Inc. The Company’s head office is located at 2400, 240 - 4th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. These consolidated financial statements, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors on February 24, 2021. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (a) Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2020, the Company's revolving credit facility ("RCF") and Term Loan was due on May 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021, respectively. The borrowings under the RCF and the Term Loan are classified as current liabilities in the December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements. The Company remains in compliance with each financial covenant. However, the classification of the debt instruments resulted in a working capital deficiency (excluding non-cash risk management assets and liabilities) of $114.5 million as at December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company generated funds flow of $26.4 million and reduced the amounts owing on its RCF by $14.8 million. The RCF syndicate of lenders had completed the semi-annual borrowing base review and reconfirmed the Company's borrowing base at $85.8 million. The Company is actively engaging with the RCF syndicate of lenders and the Term Loan lender to extend the RCF and Term Loan. However, there can be no certainty as to the ability of the Company to successfully extend its RCF and Term Loan. There is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. (b) Statement of Compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). (c) Measurement Basis These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical cost except for financial derivatives which are measured at fair value. This method is consistent with the method used in prior years. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars. (d) Consolidation These audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Petrus and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Petrus Resources Corp. and Petrus Resources Inc. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is obtained until the date control ends. Control exists where the Company has power over the investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from the investee and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect returns. All intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. (e) Critical Accounting Estimates The timely preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of the financial statements are outlined below. Depletion and reserve estimates Petroleum and natural gas assets are depleted on a unit of production basis at a rate calculated by reference to proved and probable reserves determined in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). The calculation incorporates the estimated future cost of developing and extracting those reserves. Proved and probable reserves are estimated using independent reservoir engineering reports and represent the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from known Page |32 reservoirs and which are considered commercially producible. Reserves estimates, although not reported as part of the Company’s financial statements, can have a significant effect on net income (loss), assets and liabilities as a result of their impact on depletion and depreciation, decommissioning liabilities, deferred taxes, asset impairments and business combinations. Independent reservoir engineers perform evaluations of the Company’s petroleum and natural gas reserves on an annual basis. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process requiring significant judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable petroleum and natural gas reserves are based upon a number of variables and assumptions such as geoscientific interpretation, production forecasts, commodity prices, costs and related future cash flows, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. These estimates are expected to be revised upward or downward over time, as additional information such as reservoir performance becomes available or as economic conditions change. Impairment indicators and cash-generating units For purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets and petroleum and natural gas assets are aggregated into cash- generating units (“CGUs”), based on separately identifiable and largely independent cash inflows. The determination of the Company’s CGUs is subject to judgment. The recoverable amounts of CGU’s and individual assets have been determined based on the higher of the value-in-use calculations and fair value less costs of disposal. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate, future petroleum and natural gas prices, expected production volumes and anticipated recoverable quantities of proved and probable reserves. These assumptions are subject to change as new information becomes available and changes in economic conditions take place. Changes may impact the estimated life of the field and economical reserves recoverable and may require a material adjustment to the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets and petroleum and natural gas assets. The Company monitors internal and external indicators of impairment relating to its tangible assets. Technical feasibility and commercial viability of exploration and evaluation assets The determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability, based on the presence of proved and probable reserves, results in the transfer of assets from exploration and evaluation assets to property, plant and equipment. As discussed above, the estimate of proved and probable reserves is inherently complex and requires significant judgment. Thus any material change to reserve estimates could affect the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the underlying assets. Financial instruments Financial instruments are subject to valuations at the end of each reporting period. Generally the valuation is based on active and efficient markets. However, certain financial instruments may not be traded on an efficient market or the market may disappear or be subject to conditions that impede the efficiency of the market. Decommissioning obligation At the end of the operating life of the Company’s facilities and properties and upon retirement of its petroleum and natural gas assets, decommissioning costs will be incurred by the Company. This requires judgment regarding abandonment date, future environmental and regulatory legislation, the extent of reclamation activities, the engineering methodology for estimating cost, future removal technologies in determining the removal cost and discount rates to determine the present value of these cash flows. Income taxes Tax provisions are based on enacted or substantively enacted laws. Changes in those laws could affect amounts recognized in income or loss both in the period of change, which would include any impact on cumulative provisions, and in future periods. Changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could limit the ability of the Company to obtain tax deductions in future periods. Income taxes are subject to measurement uncertainty. Significant judgment can be involved in the recognition of deferred tax assets. Measurement of share-based compensation Share-based compensation recorded pursuant to share-based compensation plans are subject to estimated fair values, forfeiture rates and the future attainment of performance criteria. Contingencies By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Revenue recognition Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as Petrus satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The transfer of control of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids usually occurs at a point in time and coincides with title passing to the customer and the customer taking physical possession. The transaction price for variable price contracts is based on the commodity price, adjusted for quality, location and other factors. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the agreed transaction price with any variability in transaction price recognized in the same period. Page |33 (b) Exploration & evaluation assets Capitalization All costs incurred after the rights to explore an area have been obtained, such as geological and geophysical costs, other direct costs of exploration (drilling, testing and evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extraction) and appraisal and including any directly attributable general and administration costs and share-based payments, are accumulated and capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets. Certain costs incurred prior to acquiring the legal rights to explore are charged directly to net income (loss). Depletion & depreciation Exploration and evaluation costs are not amortized prior to the conclusion of appraisal activities. At the completion of appraisal activities, if technical feasibility is demonstrated and commercial reserves are discovered, then the carrying value of the relevant exploration and evaluation asset will be reclassified as a property, plant and equipment asset into the CGU to which it relates, but only after the carrying value of the relevant exploration and evaluation asset has been assessed for impairment and, where appropriate, its carrying value adjusted. Technical feasibility and commercial viability are considered to be demonstrable when proved or probable reserves are determined to exist. If it is determined that technical feasibility and commercial viability have not been achieved in relation to the exploration and evaluation assets appraised, all other associated costs are written down to the recoverable amount in net income (loss). Expired land leases included as undeveloped land in exploration and evaluation assets are recognized in exploration and evaluation cost in net income (loss) upon expiry and are considered prior to expiry. Management considers upcoming land lease expiries and may recognize the costs in advance of expiry. Impairment Indicators of impairment of exploration and evaluation assets are assessed at each reporting date which can include upcoming land lease expiries, third party land valuations and other information . When there are such indications, an impairment test is carried out and any resulting impairment loss is written off to net income (loss). The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value, less costs of disposal, or value-in-use. (c) Property, plant and equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment is comprised of petroleum and natural gas assets and corporate assets. Capitalization Petroleum and natural gas assets are measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Petroleum and natural gas assets consists of the purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. Petroleum and natural gas assets include developing and producing interests such as land acquisitions, geological and geophysical costs, facility and production equipment, including any directly attributable general and administration costs and share-based payments and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing an asset and restoring the site on which it was located. Subsequent costs Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability are recognized as developing and producing petroleum and natural gas interests when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. Such capitalized petroleum and natural gas interests generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and/or probable reserves, and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The cost of day-to-day servicing of an item of petroleum and natural gas assets is expensed in income or loss as incurred. Petroleum and natural gas assets are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in net income or loss. Depletion and depreciation The costs for petroleum and natural gas properties, including related pipelines and facilities, are depleted using a unit-of-production method based on the commercial proved and probable reserves. Petroleum and natural gas assets are not depleted until production commences. This depletion calculation includes actual production in the period and total estimated proved and probable reserves attributable to the assets being depleted, taking into account total capitalized costs plus estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. Relative volumes of reserves and production (before royalties) are converted at the energy equivalent conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Proved and probable reserves are estimated using independent reservoir engineering reports and represent the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs and which are considered commercially producible. Corporate assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a declining balance method so as to write off the cost of these assets, less estimated residual values, over their estimated useful lives consistent with the treatment used for tax purposes. Page |34 Impairment The assessment for impairment entails comparing the carrying value of the CGU with its recoverable amount: that is, the higher of fair value, less costs of disposal, and value in use. Petrus’ property, plant and equipment are grouped into CGUs based on separately identifiable and largely independent cash inflows considering geological characteristics, shared infrastructure and exposure to market risks. Estimates of future cash flows used in the calculation of the recoverable amount are based on reserve evaluation reports prepared by independent reservoir engineers. The CGU’s are reviewed quarterly for indicators of impairment. Indicators are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the CGU is estimated. If the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds the recoverable amount, the CGU is written down with an impairment recognized in net income (loss). The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, less costs of disposal, and the value-in-use. Fair value, less costs of disposal, is derived by estimating the discounted after-tax future net cash flows. Discounted future net cash flows are based on forecast commodity prices and costs over the expected economic life of the reserves and discounted using market-based rates to reflect a market participant’s view of the risks associated with the assets. Value-in-use is assessed using the expected future cash flows discounted at a pre-tax rate. Impairments of property, plant and equipment are reversed when there is significant evidence that the impairment has been reversed, but only to the extent of what the carrying amount would have been had no impairment been recognized. (d) Decommissioning obligations The Company’s activities give rise to dismantling, decommissioning and reclamation requirements. Costs related to these abandonment activities are estimated by management in consultation with the Company’s engineers based on risk-adjusted current costs which take into consideration current technology in accordance with existing legislation and industry practices. Decommissioning obligations are measured at the present value of the best estimate of expenditures required to settle the obligations at the reporting date. When the fair value of the liability is initially measured, the estimated cost, discounted using a risk-free rate, is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related petroleum and natural gas assets. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time, or accretion, is recognized as a finance expense. Increases and decreases due to revisions in the estimated future cash flows are recorded as adjustments to the carrying amount of the related petroleum and natural gas assets. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the liability are charged against the obligation to the extent that the obligation was previously established. The carrying amount capitalized in petroleum and natural gas assets is depleted in accordance with the Company’s depletion policy. The Company reviews the obligation at each reporting date and revisions to the estimated timing of cash flows, discount rates and estimated costs will result in an increase or decrease to the obligations. Any difference between the actual costs incurred upon settlement of the obligation and recorded liability is recognized as an increase or reduction in income. (e) Finance expenses Finance expense may be comprised of interest expense on borrowings, acquisition related (transaction) costs, foreign exchange expenses and accretion of the discount on decommissioning obligations. (f) Financial instruments Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial instruments are measured based on their classification as described below: • • Fair value through profit or loss: Financial instruments under this classification include risk management assets and liabilities. Amortized cost: Financial instruments under this classification include cash, accounts receivable, deposits, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and long term debt. (g) Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction in share capital, net of any tax effects. (h) Flow-through shares The resources expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploratory activities funded by flow-through shares are renounced to investors in accordance with tax legislation. Upon issuance of a flow-through share, a liability is recognized representing the premium paid on flow- through common shares over regular common shares. This liability is reduced as the expenditures are incurred and tax attributes are renounced. (i) Income taxes The Company’s income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized through income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related income taxes are also recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Page |35 Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in the jurisdictions of Alberta and Canada. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. (j) Joint arrangements A portion of the Company’s exploration, development and production activities are conducted jointly with others through unincorporated joint operations. These financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest of these joint operations and the proportionate share of the relevant revenue and related costs. (k) Share-based compensation Share-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of shares on the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated at the grant date and are subsequently adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures. The expense is recognized over the service period, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The Company capitalizes the qualifying portion of share-based compensation expense directly attributable to the exploration and development activities of exploration and evaluation assets and petroleum and natural gas assets, with a corresponding decrease to share-based compensation expense. At the time the stock options or performance warrants are exercised, the issuance of common shares is recorded as an increase to shareholders’ capital and a corresponding decrease to contributed surplus. For deferred share units (“DSUs”) that can be settled in cash or equity at the option of the Company, the fair value of the DSUs is recognized as stock- based compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. (l) Earnings per share Earnings per share are presented for basic and diluted earnings. Basic per share information is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period attributable to equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share information is calculated using the treasury stock method whereby it is assumed that proceeds obtained upon exercise of performance warrants and stock options would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The treasury stock method also assumes that the deemed proceeds related to unrecognized share-based payments expense are used to repurchase shares at the average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, stock options and share warrants have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants (they are "in- the-money"). Exercise of in-the-money stock options and share warrants is assumed at the beginning of the year or date of issuance, if later. Should the Company have a loss for the period, stock options and share warrants would be anti-dilutive and therefore will have no effect on the determination of loss per share. (m) Leases At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: • • • the contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the suppler has a substantive substitution right, the the asset is not identified; the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: ◦ ◦ the Company has the right to operate the asset; or the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019. i) As a lessee The Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Page |36 The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the intrest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. (n) Government grants Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant will be received. Grants related to income are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (loss) and are deducted in reporting the related expense. Grants related to assets are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet by deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as other income. (o) New standards and interpretations There are no new standards or interpretations to report. 4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. Petroleum and natural gas properties and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets The fair value of petroleum and natural gas properties and equipment recognized in a business combination and for impairment testing, is based on market values. The market value of petroleum and natural gas properties and equipment is the estimated amount for which property, plant and equipment could be exchanged on the acquisition date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of oil and natural gas interests (included in petroleum and natural gas properties and equipment) and intangible exploration and evaluation assets is estimated with reference to the discounted cash flow expected to be derived from oil and natural gas production based on externally prepared reserve reports. The risk-adjusted discount rate is specific to the asset with reference to general market conditions. The value-in-use and the fair value less costs of disposal value, or value, used to determine the recoverable amount of the impaired petroleum and natural gas properties are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements. Refer to “Financial Instruments” section below for fair value hierarchy classifications. Derivatives The fair value of commodity price risk management contracts is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted prices and published forward price curves as at the balance sheet date, using the remaining contracted oil and natural gas volumes and a risk-free interest rate (based on published government rates). The fair value of options is based on option models that use published information with respect to volatility, prices, interest rates and counter-party credit risks. Share-based payments The fair value of employee share-based payments is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility in share price (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behavior), expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds) and estimated forfeiture rate at each reporting date. Financial instruments The Company’s fair value measurements require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy: • • • Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Level 3 - Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level. The Company’s risk management contracts are considered Level 2. Page |37 5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS The components of the Company’s exploration and evaluation ("E&E") assets are as follows: $000s Balance, December 31, 2018 Additions Disposition Exploration and evaluation expense Capitalized G&A Capitalized share-based compensation Transfers to property, plant and equipment (note 6) Impairment Balance, December 31, 2019 Additions Disposition Exploration and evaluation expense Capitalized G&A Capitalized share-based compensation (note 11) Transfers to property, plant and equipment (note 6) Impairment Balance, December 31, 2020 42,410 18 (1,177) (2,004) 376 32 (453) (3,086) 36,116 4,590 (58) (18) 279 26 (367) (23,000) 17,568 During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $0.3 million of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) (2019 – $0.4 million) and $0.03 million of non-cash share-based compensation directly attributable to exploration activities (2019 – $0.03 million). During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the significant decrease in forward benchmark commodity prices in the first quarter, the Company identified indicators of impairment and conducted an impairment test on all of the Company's Cash Generating Units ("CGUs"). No impairment was recorded for the Foothills, Central Alberta and Kakwa CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the Ferrier CGU, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $23.0 million on its E&E assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company had also tested the Ferrier CGU for impairment on December 31, 2020 and did not record any further impairment. As at December 31, 2019, the book value of the Company's net assets was greater than its market capitalization. The Company considered this to be an indicator of impairment and performed an impairment test on all CGUs. The Company determined the fair value less costs of disposal for its two non-core CGUs based on interest expressed during the sales process for its Foothills and Central Alberta assets. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.1 million on its E&E assets in the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2019. For the Ferrier CGU, no impairment charge was required was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019. Page |38 6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The components of the Company’s property, plant and equipment assets are as follows: $000s Balance, December 31, 2018 Additions Transition adjustment of right of use asset(1) Addition of right of use asset(1) Capitalized G&A Capitalized share-based compensation (note 11) Transfers from exploration and evaluation assets (note 5) Depletion & depreciation Increase in decommissioning provision (note 9) Impairment Balance, December 31, 2019 Additions Capitalized G&A Capitalized share-based compensation (note 11) Transfers from exploration and evaluation assets (note 5) Depletion & depreciation Increase in decommissioning provision (note 9) Impairment Balance, December 31, 2020 (1)Right of use asset pertains to corporate office lease.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $0.8 million of general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) (2019 – $1.1 million) and non-cash share-based compensation of $0.1 million (2019 – $0.1 million), directly attributable to development activities. During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the significant decrease in forward benchmark commodity prices in the first quarter, the Company identified indicators of impairment and conducted an impairment test on all of the Company's CGUs. No impairment was recorded for the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the Ferrier CGU, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $75 million on its PP&E asset on March 31, 2020, as the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount. The Company had also tested the Ferrier CGU for impairment on December 31, 2020 and did not record any further impairment. The recoverable amount, a level 3 input on the fair value hierarchy, was estimated at its value-in-use, using a pre-tax discount rate of 11.0% to 12.5%. A 1% increase in the discount rate would have increase impairment by approximately $7 million. A 1% decrease in the discount rate would decrease impairment by approximately $6 million. The Company uses the following forward commodity price estimates: Year 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 Canadian Light Sweet 40 API $/Bbl AECO $/MMbtu 54.55 57.14 63.64 64.91 66.21 67.53 68.88 70.26 71.66 73.10 74.56 2.86 2.78 2.69 2.75 2.80 2.86 2.91 2.97 3.03 3.09 3.15 Escalation rate of 2.0% thereafter. As at December 31, 2019, the book value of the Company's net assets was greater than its market capitalization. The Company considered this to be an indicator of impairment and performed an impairment test of each of its CGUs. The Company determined the fair value less costs of disposal for its two Page |39 non-core CGUs based on interest expressed during the sales process for its Foothills and Central Alberta assets. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $21.6 million on its PP&E assets in the Foothills and Central Alberta CGUs during the year ended December 31, 2019. For the Ferrier CGU the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value therefore no impairment was recorded. The recoverable amount, a level 3 input on the fair value hierarchy (see note 4), was estimated at fair value less costs of disposal based on proved plus probable reserves and applying an after-tax discount rate ranging from 9% to 10% on the estimated future cash flow. At December 31, 2020, the carrying balance of the right of use asset was $1.0 million (December 31, 2019 - $1.2 million). 7. DEBT Petrus has two debt instruments outstanding. The first is a reserve-based, senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, which is comprised of an operating facility and a syndicated term-out facility (together, the “Revolving Credit Facility” or “RCF”). The second is a subordinated secured term loan (the “Term Loan”). (a) Revolving Credit Facility At December 31, 2020, the RCF was comprised of a $20 million operating facility and a $63 million syndicated term-out facility. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. The RCF's maturity date is May 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a $0.6 million letter of credit outstanding against the RCF (December 31, 2019 – $0.7 million) and had drawn $77.5 million against the RCF (December 31, 2019 – $92.3 million) excluding non-cash deferred financing fees of $0.3 million. In July 2020, the Company completed its annual RCF review. The borrowing base of the RCF was updated to $88.5 million, with a maturity date of May 31, 2021. The borrowing base of the RCF is required to reduce by $2.75 million at the end of each fiscal quarter. The RCF extension includes the removal of the Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as well as the Proved and PDP Asset Coverage Ratios from the financial covenants, and the Working Capital ratio covenant has been updated to a minimum test of 0.6:1.0 (or such lower amount as agreed to by the majority of the lenders under the RCF which shall not be less than 0.5:1.0). As part of the RCF extension the Bankers Acceptance Stamping fees will range between 350 bps and 600 bps which will result in an increase in the RCF interest rate of between 150 bps and 250 bps. The amount of the RCF is subject to a borrowing base review performed on a semi-annual basis by the lenders, based primarily on reserves and commodity prices estimated by the lenders as well as other factors. In addition, asset dispositions require unanimous lender consent. A decrease in the borrowing base could result in a reduction to the available credit under the RCF. In the event that the lenders reduce the borrowing base below the amount drawn at the time of redetermination, the Company has 30 days to eliminate any shortfall by repaying amounts in excess of the new re- determined borrowing base. (b) Term Loan At December 31, 2020 the Company had a $37 million (December 31, 2019 – $35 million) Term Loan outstanding, which is due July 31, 2021. The Company has provided collateral by way of a debenture over all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. In July 2020, the Company extended the maturity of the Term Loan to July 31, 2021. The Term Loan bears interest that accrues at a per annum rate of the (three-month) Canadian Dealer Offered Rate plus 975 basis points. All of the interest will be made by way of payment-in-kind ("PIK") and added to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan in lieu of monthly payment of cash interest. The Term Loan extension also includes the removal of the Total Debt to EBITDA ratio as well as the Proved and PDP Asset Coverage Ratios from the financial covenants. The Working Capital ratio covenant has been updated to a minimum test of 0.6:1.0 (or such lower amount as agreed to by the lenders under the Term Loan which shall not be less than 0.5:1.0). Liquidity At December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency (excluding non-cash risk management assets and liabilities) of $114.5 million which has increased due to the reclassification of the Company's borrowings under its RCF and Term Loan. See note 2(a). However, the Company remains in compliance with all financial covenants pertaining to its debt, and based on current available information relating to future production volumes, forward commodity pricing, future costs including capital, operating and general and administrative, forward exchange rates, interest rates and taxes, all of which are subject to measurement uncertainty, management expects to comply with all financial covenants during the subsequent 12 month period. Financial Covenants The Company's RCF and Term Loan are subject to certain financial covenants. The following definitions are used in the covenant calculations for both debt instruments: Working Capital Working Capital means Current Assets to Current Liabilities whereby Current Assets means on any date of determination, the current assets of Petrus that would, in accordance with IFRS, be classified as of that date as current assets plus any undrawn availability under the RCF, less any non-cash amount required to be included in current assets as the result of the application of IFRS including non-cash commodity and interest rate Page |40 hedges assets and liabilities and whereby Current Liabilities means, on any date of determination, the liabilities of Petrus that would, in accordance with IFRS, be classified as of that date as current liabilities, excluding (a) non-cash obligations under IFRS including non-cash commodity and interest rate hedges assets and liabilities, and (b) the current portion of long-term debt. Working Capital Ratio means the ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities as defined above. The RCF carries the following covenants: i. ii. The Company is unable to borrow amounts greater than the RCF limit; and the Working Capital ratio shall not be less than 0.6:1.0. The key financial covenant as at December 31, 2020 is summarized in the following table. At December 31, 2020 the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants. Financial Covenant Description Working Capital Ratio 8. LEASES The Company's lease obligations are as follows: $000s Balance, January 1, 2020 Finance expense Lease payments Balance, December 31, 2020 The Company's future commitments associated with its lease obligations are as follows: $000s Less than 1 year 1 to 3 years 4 to 5 years After 5 years Total lease payments Amounts representing finance expense Present value of lease obligation Current portion of lease obligation Non-current portion of lease obligation 9. DECOMMISSIONING OBLIGATION Required Ratio Over 0.6 As at December 31, 2020 1.67 1,149 82 (219) 1,012 As at December 31, 2020 262 825 92 — 1,179 (167) 1,012 188 824 The decommissioning liability was estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all wells and facilities, the estimated costs to abandon and reclaim the wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. The estimated future cash flows have been discounted using an average risk free rate of 1.10 percent and an inflation rate of 1.40 percent (2019 – 1.76 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively). Changes in estimates in 2019 and 2020 are due to the changes in the risk free rate and changes in the estimated future cash flow to reclaim the wells and facilities. The Company has estimated the net present value of the decommissioning obligations to be $44.5 million as at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $41.3 million). The undiscounted, uninflated total future liability at December 31, 2020 is $41.4 million (December 31, 2019 – $41.4 million). The payments are expected to be incurred over the operating lives of the assets.

Number of Shares 49,491,840 (22,482) 49,469,358 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Stock Options The Company has a stock option plan in place whereby it may issue stock options to employees, consultants and directors of the Company. The aggregate number of shares that may be acquired upon exercise of all options granted pursuant to the plans shall, at any date or time of determination, be equal to ten percent (10%) of the number that is equal to (i) the number of the Company’s basic common shares then issued and outstanding; minus (ii) a number equal to five (5) times the number of common shares that are issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Performance Warrants, if any, minus (iii) a number equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of common shares that have previously been issued upon the exercise of Performance Warrants, if any. At December 31, 2020, 2,276,923 (December 31, 2019 – 2,361,958) stock options were outstanding. The summary of stock option activity is presented below: Balance, December 31, 2018 Granted Cancelled/forfeited Expired Balance, December 31, 2019 Granted Cancelled/forfeited Expired Balance, December 31, 2020 Exercisable, December 31, 2020 Number of stock options 3,082,880 1,386,357 (707,069) (1,400,210) 2,361,958 1,122,276 (353,320) (853,991) 2,276,923 288,599 Weighted average exercise price $2.87 $0.33 $1.74 $4.20 $2.87 $0.23 $1.06 $2.16 $0.40 $0.75 Page |43 The following table summarizes information about the stock options granted since inception: Range of Exercise Price Stock Options Outstanding Stock Options Exercisable $0.26 - $0.86 $1.49 - $2.33 Number granted 2,131,923 145,000 2,276,923 Weighted average exercise price $0.30 $1.84 $1.75 Weighted average remaining life (years) 2.33 0.31 1.69 Number exercisable 227,599 61,000 288,599 Weighted average exercise price $0.25 $0.49 $0.75 Weighted average remaining life (years) 0.1 0.01 0.1 During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted options which vest equally over three years, and upon vesting, expire 30 business days thereafter. The weighted average fair value of each option granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $0.11 (2019 – $0.11) was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Risk free interest rate Expected life (years) Estimated volatility of underlying common shares (%) Estimated forfeiture rate Expected dividend yield (%) 2020 0.20% - 0.29% 1.08 - 3.08 80% to 100% 20 % — % 2019 1.57% - 1.83% 1.08 - 3.08 73% - 81% 20 % — % Petrus estimated the volatility of the underlying common shares by analyzing the Company's volatility as well as the volatility of peer group public companies with similar corporate structure, oil and gas assets and size. Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan The Company has a deferred share unit plan in place whereby it may issue deferred share units to directors of the Company. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued from treasury of Petrus pursuant to the plan shall not exceed: (i) five percent (5%) of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) at the date of issue; and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) at the date of issue, less the aggregate number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance under any other share compensation plan. Each DSU entitles the participants to receive, at the Company's discretion, either shares of the Company or cash equal to the trading price of the equivalent number of shares of the Company. All DSUs granted vest and become payable upon retirement of the director. The compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method based on the weighted average trading price of the Company's shares for the five trading days ending on the reporting period date. At December 31, 2020, 2,158,270 DSUs were issued and outstanding (2019 –1,177,510).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 2020 9,673 2,463 12,136 (913) 11,223 2020 5,248 (1,117) (722) 3,409 2019 10,668 3,167 13,835 (962) 12,873 2019 6,217 (1,506) (1,067) 3,644 Credit risk The Company’s accounts receivable are with customers and joint venture partners in the petroleum and natural gas business and are subject to normal credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is mitigated by marketing the majority of the Company’s production to reputable and financially sound purchasers under normal industry sale and payment terms. As is common in the petroleum and natural gas industry in western Canada, Petrus’ receivables relating to the sale of petroleum and natural gas are received on or about the 25th day of the following month. Of the $6.3 million of accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – $13.0 million), $4.7 million is owed from 3 parties (December 31, 2019 – $5.7 million from 3 parties), and the balances were received subsequent to year end. The Company considers accounts receivable outstanding past 120 days to be 'past due'. At December 31, 2020, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million (December 31, 2019 – $0.4 million). At December 31, 2020, 91% of Petrus’ accounts receivable were aged less than 120 days and 9% of Petrus' accounts receivable were aged greater than 120 days. The Company does not anticipate any material collection issues. The Company’s risk management assets and cash are with chartered Canadian banks and the Company does not consider these assets to carry material credit risk. Liquidity risk At December 31, 2020, the Company had an $83.0 million RCF, on which $77.5 million was drawn (December 31, 2019 – $92.3 million). While the Company is exposed to the risk of reductions to the borrowing base of the RCF, the Company anticipates it will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through funds flow and available credit capacity from its RCF. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date for the RCF is on or before May 31, 2021. See additional discussion in note 7. Page |45 The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at December 31, 2020: $000s Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Risk management liability Bank indebtedness and long term debt(1) Lease obligations Total (1)Excludes deferred finance fees. Total 7,708 1,027 114,081 1,012 123,828 < 1 year 7,708 986 114,081 188 122,963 1-5 years — 41 — 824 865 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’s cash, bank indebtedness and accounts receivable are not exposed to significant interest rate risk. The RCF and Term Loan are exposed to interest rate cash flow risk as the instruments are priced on a floating interest rate subject to fluctuations in market interest rates. The remainder of Petrus’ financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk. To manage exposure to interest rate volatility, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts (note 10). A 1% increase in the Canadian prime interest rate during the year ended December 31, 2020 would have increased net loss by approximately $1.0 million, respectively, which relates to interest expense on the average outstanding RCF and Term Loan, net of any interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on loans, during the year assuming that all other variables remain constant (December 31, 2019 – increase net loss by $1.1 million). A 1% decrease in the Canadian prime interest rate during the year would result in an opposite impact on net loss. Commodity Price Risk Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. A significant change in commodity prices can materially impact the Company’s borrowing base limit under its Revolving Credit Facility and may reduce the Company’s ability to raise capital. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are not only influenced by Canadian and United States demand, but also by world events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. The Company manages the risks associated with changes in commodity prices by entering into a variety of financial derivative contracts (see note 10). The Company assesses the effects of movement in commodity prices on net loss. When assessing the potential impact of these commodity price changes, the Company believes a $5/CDN WTI/bbl change in the price of oil and a $0.25/GJ change in the price of natural gas are reasonable measures. As at December 31, 2020, it was estimated that a $0.25/GJ decrease in the price of natural gas would have decreased net loss by $1.3 million (December 31, 2019 – $1.5 million). An opposite change in commodity prices would result in an opposite impact on net loss. As at December 31, 2020, it was estimated that a $5.00/CDN WTI/bbl decrease in the price of oil would have decreased net loss by $1.1 million (December 31, 2019 – $0.2 million). An opposite change in commodity prices would result in an opposite impact on net loss. 16. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company’s general capital management policy is to maintain a sufficient capital base in order to manage its business to enable the Company to increase the value of its assets and therefore its underlying share value. In the management of capital, the Company includes share capital and total net debt, which is made up of debt and working capital (current assets less current liabilities). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Petrus may issue new equity, increase or decrease debt, adjust capital expenditures and acquire or dispose of assets. 17.
