  • Operating costs increase of $174,051 to $315,210 (June 30, 2021 – $141,159) resulting from the recommissioning of the Farrell Creek gas plant and associated facilities required to produce the existing joint venture Montney wells;
  • Professional fees increase of $53,225 to $132,471 (2021 – $79,246) mostly due to higher audit costs;
  • Investor relations and filing fees, and Insurance costs increase of $18,108 to $64,727 (2021 - $46,619);
  • Share-based compensation of $71,029 (2021 – $41,029) increase of $30,000 due to the timing of vesting of the stock options.

Offsetting these cost increases was the Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment for the proceeds of $147,750 on the Farrell Creek Gething fully depreciated idle equipment.
