CALGARY,
AB, Aug. 10, 2022 /CNW/ - Pan Orient Energy
Corp. ("Pan Orient" or the "Company") (TSXV: POE) reports 2022
second quarter consolidated financial and operating results.
Please note that all amounts are in Canadian dollars unless
otherwise stated and BOPD refers to barrels of oil per
day.
The Company is today filing its unaudited consolidated financial
statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and related management's discussion
and analysis with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
Copies of these documents may be obtained online at www.sedar.com
or the Company's website, www.panorient.ca.
Commenting today on Pan Orient's 2022 second quarter results,
President and CEO Jeff Chisholm
stated: "The Pan Orient sale transaction is progressing smoothly
into the August 23, 2022 shareholder
vote. Pan Orient management and directors recommend that
shareholders support this transaction given the late stage
development of the Thailand L53
asset."
HIGHLIGHTS
Thailand (net to Pan Orient's
50.01% equity interest in the Thailand Joint Venture)
- Net to Pan Orient's 50.01% equity interest in the Thailand
Joint Venture, oil sales from Concession L53 in the second quarter
of 2022 were 1,124 BOPD compared with 1,105 BOPD in the first
quarter of 2022.
- Thailand adjusted funds flow
from operations of $7.6 million
($73.93 per barrel) in the second
quarter of 2022 compared with $5.7
million ($57.19 per barrel) in
the first quarter of 2022. The average realized oil price per
barrel increased 27% in the second quarter of 2022 to $156.27 per barrel compared with $122.67 in the first quarter of 2022.
- In the first half of 2022, Thailand adjusted funds flow from operations
of $13.2 million funded $2.5 million of Thailand exploration and development
activities. Working capital and long-term deposits, net to Pan
Orient's 50.01% equity interest in the Thailand Joint Venture, at
June 30, 2022 was $12.7 million.
Sawn Lake (Operated by Andora Energy Corporation, in which Pan
Orient has a 71.8% ownership)
- In March 2022, Andora entered
into an agreement with a joint venture partner at Sawn Lake whereby
Andora acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities at
Sawn Lake. Through the transaction, Andora increased its working
interest in the Sawn Lake joint venture to 75%.
- The March 31, 2022 Contingent
Bitumen Resources Report ("Resources Report"), a National
Instrument 51-101 compliant resources evaluation for Andora's oil
sands interests at Sawn Lake Alberta based on exploitation using
Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage ("SAGD") as evaluated by Sproule
Associates Limited, assigned unrisked "Best Estimate" contingent
resources for Andora of 292.0 million barrels of bitumen
recoverable (209.6 million barrels net to Pan Orient's 71.8%
interest in Andora) and unrisked "Best Estimate" net present value,
discounted at 15%, for Andora's interests of $192 million on an after-tax basis ($138 million net to Pan Orient's 71.8% interest
in Andora). The Sawn Lake operations are currently suspended and
awaiting restart and commercial expansion. Contingent resources are
those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be
potentially recoverable from known accumulations by the application
of development projects, but which are not currently considered to
be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. The
contingent resources volumes estimated in the Resources Report are
considered contingent until such time as there are additional
delineation wells confirming reservoir quality and continuity,
refinement of the commercial development plan, regulatory approval
for full field development, corporate commitment to move forward
and financing for commercial development. There is uncertainty that
it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the
reported contingent resources volumes. Please refer to Pan Orient's
press release of June 13, 2022 for
additional information.
- Western Canada Select reference prices for heavy oil remained
strong in the second quarter of 2022. At August 8, 2022, the price for Western Canada
Select was Cdn$91.34 per barrel and
the forward market for Western Canada Select in 2024 was
Cdn$79.13 per barrel. Andora is
considering alternatives to restart the existing steam SAGD
facility and wellpair at Sawn Lake and move the Sawn Lake project
forward with minimum development costs to Andora, including
partnership, farmout, sourcing additional funds, partial sale or
outright sale, and achieve value for shareholders.
- For the first half of 2022, Pan Orient reports total operating
expenses of $171 thousand associated
with the Sawn Lake suspended SAGD facility and wellpair.
Corporate
- On June 6, 2022 Pan Orient
announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by a
subsidiary of Dialog Group Berhad ("Dialog") and for Pan Orient's
non-Thailand business to be
transferred to CanAsia Energy Corp. ("CanAsia"), a new company to
be owned by Pan Orient shareholders (the "Arrangement"). Upon
completion of the transaction, a holder of a common share of Pan
Orient will receive, for each such common share, cash consideration
of USD $0.788 and one common share of
CanAsia. The cash consideration is approximately CAD $1.01 at the current exchange rate.
As a result of the Arrangement: (a) Dialog, through a subsidiary,
will hold all of the issued and outstanding Pan Orient shares, and
Pan Orient will continue to own Pan Orient's Thailand business; (b) Pan Orient shareholders
(other than dissenting shareholders) will receive, through a series
of steps, for each Pan Orient share held, a cash payment of USD
$0.788 and one CanAsia share; and (c)
CanAsia will be a new public company with its shares expected to be
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") (subject to
satisfaction of the conditions of the TSXV), that will own Pan
Orient's non-Thailand business, which includes: Pan Orient's 71.8%
interest in Andora Energy Corporation, which has interests in oil
sands properties in Sawn Lake, Alberta; convertible loans
receivable from Andora; Pan Orient's interests in Indonesia, which
operations are, effective January 1, 2020, considered discontinued
operations for accounting purposes; and working capital and long
term deposits, estimated to be approximately $6.7 million. The
estimate of working capital and long-term deposits has been reduced
to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates and higher transaction
expenses, mainly legal fees.
Completion of the Arrangement is subject to certain conditions,
including approval of the Pan Orient shareholders, final approval
of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and conditional approval
of the delisting of the Pan Orient shares and listing of the
CanAsia shares by the TSXV. If all conditions to the completion of
the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, Pan Orient anticipates
that the Arrangement will become effective on or about August 25,
2022.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second
quarter of 2022 was $4.8 million ($0.10 per share) compared with
net income attributable to common shareholders for the first
quarter of 2022 of $3.5 million ($0.07 per share). Corporate
adjusted funds flow from operations (including Pan Orient's 50.01%
equity interest in the Thailand Joint Venture) in the second
quarter of 2022 were $6.1 million ($0.12 per share) compared with
$4.5 million ($0.09 per share) in the first quarter of 2022.
- Common shares outstanding were 49.8 million at June 30,
2022.
- Pan Orient paid a $0.40 per common share return of capital
distribution to shareholders on February 10, 2022 following
shareholder approval on January 18, 2022. The total amount of the
distribution was $19.9 million.
- Pan Orient maintains a strong financial position with working
capital and non-current deposits of $12.8 million and no long-term
debt at June 30, 2022. In addition, the Thailand Joint Venture has
$12.7 million in working capital and long-term deposits, net to Pan
Orient's 50.01% equity interest.
OUTLOOK
A special meeting of Pan Orient shareholders to vote on the
Arrangement and other matters will be held on Tuesday, August 23,
2022. If all conditions to the completion of the Arrangement
are satisfied or waived, Pan Orient anticipates that the
Arrangement will become effective on or about August 25, 2022.
The Arrangement is an opportunity for Pan Orient shareholders to
realize value for their investment in Pan Orient while continuing
to participate, through CanAsia, in the Sawn Lake heavy oil project
and potential exploration and development activities in
Thailand through an anticipated
future bid round for new oil concessions
Pan Orient is a Calgary,
Alberta based oil and gas exploration and production company
with operations currently located onshore Thailand and Western
Canada.

For the purpose of

Total corporate
adjusted funds flow from operations (non-GAAP Financial
Measure) is cash flow from operating activities prior
to changes in non-cash working capital, unrealized foreign exchange
gain or loss plus the corresponding amount from Pan
Orient's 50.01% interest in the Thailand Joint Venture which is
recorded in Joint Venture for financial statement
purposes.
This measure is used by management to analyze operating performance
and leverage. Adjusted funds flow as presented
does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and
therefore it may not be comparable with the calculation of
similar measures of other entities. Adjusted funds flow is
not intended to represent operating cash flow or operating profits
for
the period nor should it be viewed as an alternative to cash flow
from operating activities, net earnings or other measures of
financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis for the Six
Months
Ended June 30, 2022 for definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Financial
Measures.

In December 2020, the
Company entered into an Automatic Share Purchase Plan ("ASPP"),
which permits an independent
broker to repurchase shares during certain blackout periods under
the Company's normal course issuer bid, subject to agreed
trading parameters and other instructions for such purchases.
At March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a provision of
$1.5 million (December 31, 2020 - $0.9 mill) in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities as an estimate for the number of
shares that may be repurchased during potential blackout periods at
the maximum share price under the ASPP. The
Company was not in a blackout period at June 30, 2021 and not was
required to provide a provision for ASPP. As such, the
provisions provided for at December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021
were reversed.
