Strategy
The
Company
continues
to
pursue
near-term
inorganic
international
gr
owth
opportunities and is s
eeking a suitable partner to farm
in to t
he Company’s 20
Tcfe
unrisked mean
prospective resource deep,
tight gas play in Turk
ey.
FINA
NCIAL POSITION AND ROYALT
Y
As
of
the
end
of
Q4
2021,
Valeura
had
cash
and
cash
equivalent
resources
totalling
US$40.8
million
and
no debt.
Associated
with
the
sale
of
its
conventional
gas
producing
busi
ness
in
Turkey
which
closed
in
Q2
2021,
Valeura
became
entitled
to
a
royalt
y
for
up
to
the
next
five
y
e
ars
of
a
total
amount
between
US$1.0
and
US$2.5
million,
tied
to
local
Turkish
gas
prices.
As
of Decembe
r
31,
2021,
the Company
had
invoiced total
royalty payments of US$0.8 million. Given the continued strong
gas prices in Europe and Turkey, Valeur
a
expects
to
receive
the
maximum
outstanding
royalties
for
the
pe
riod
of
US$1.7
million
in
Q1
2022
with
these royalties recorded in accounts receivable.
STRATEGY
Valeura’s
20
Tcfe
1
tight
gas
appraisal
play
in
Turkey
remains
a
core
part
of
the
Company’s
portfolio
and
represents
a
significant
source
of
potential
long-term
value.
Valeura
is
continuing
its
search
for
a
suitable
farm-in partner for the tight
g
as appraisal play and
is working
with a London-based
advisor to assist in the
search.
The
Company
believes
securing
a
partner
is
the
most
pru
dent
first
step
before
committing
significant
capital
to the
next
phase
of appraisal
drilling.
Valeura
is
poi
sed to
resume
deep
drilling
operations rapidly
upon securing a partner, with several locations already in the
advanced permitting stage.
Valeura’s exploration
licences remain
in good standing
and are
scheduled to expire
on June 27,
2023 (after
receiving
a
one-year
extension
from
their
original
expiration
d
ate
of
June
27,
2022
from
the
Turkish
Government as
a result of
COVID-19), after which
the Company ha
s
the option
to apply for
two additional
two-year exploration
periods, gi
ving
t
he
Company the
ability to
maintain
these licences
for up
to
approximately
five
more
years
thr
ough
work
programme
commitment
s.
During
the
current
extension
period, the
Company is required
to drill
one exploration well
o
n each of
the three
exploration licences. The
one-year
extension Valeura
received on
the exploration
licences
provides additional
flexibility
with
respect
to
Valeura’s
obligations
to
drill
two
Banarli
exploration
wells
and
one
West
Thrace
exploration
well
to
maintain
its
deep
gas
rights,
meaning
the
Company
will have
no
material
capital
commitments
relating
to
its Turkey assets until mid 2023.
In
the
nearer-term,
Valeura
int
ends
to
leverage
its
strong
fina
ncial
position
toward
growing
by
way
of
mergers
and
acquisitions
(“
M&A
”).
The
collective
international
experience
of
the
Company’s
ma
nagement
and
board
defines
a
broad
focus
area,
including
jurisdictions
w
ith
significant
deal
flow
and
expected
relatively
low
competition
for
assets.
Valeura
i
s
actively
pursuing
several
M
&A
opportunities,
targeting
near-term
production
and
cash
flow,
plus
follow-on
investment
opportunities
to
enable
mid-term
growth.
The company remains in discussion on several opportunities and
will disclose further details in due course
as appropriate.
The company
rema
ins
squarely focussed
on
only
executing
transactions that
will
generate
material value for shareholders.

Basis for Opinio
n
We
conducted
our
aud
it
in
accorda
nce
with
Cana
dian
gen
erally
ac
cepte
d
auditing
standards.
Our
responsibilities
under
thos
e
standards
are
f
urther
described
in
the
Auditors’
Responsibilities
for
the Audit of the Financial St
atements
” section of our auditors’ report.
We are
independent
of the
Entity
in
accordance with
the ethi
cal
requ
irements that
are relevant
to
our
audit
of
the
financial
statemen
ts
in
Canada
and
we
have
f
ulfill
ed
our
other
ethical
responsibilities
i
n
accordance with these requirements.
We
believe
th
at
the
audit
evi
dence
we
have
obtained
is
s
ufficie
nt
and
appropriate
to
provide
a
basis
for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key
audit
matters
are
those
matters
that,
in
our
professional
j
udgment,
were
of
most
significance
in
our
audit
of
the
financial
statem
ents
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021.
These
matters
were
addressed in
the context
of our
audit of
the financial
statemen
ts as
a whole,
and in
formin
g
our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opini
on on these matt
ers.
3
We have
determined the
matt
er
described below
t
o
be the key
aud
it matter
to be
communicate
d
in our
auditors’ report.
Evaluation of
indicators of i
mpairment for ex
ploration and eval
u
ation assets
Description of the
matter
We
draw
attention
to
n
ote
2(d),
note
3(d)
and
note
7
to
th
e
fin
ancial
stat
ements.
At
December
31,
2021, the
Entity had explorati
on
and eval
uation (“E&E”) assets
of $1.172 milli
on, which
are assessed
for
impairment
if
facts
and
circ
um
stances
indicate
that
the
car
rying
amount
may
exce
ed
its
recoverable
amount.
Judgement
is
require
d
to
assess
whether
internal
or
ext
ernal
indicators
of
impair
ment
exist.
Indicators of impairment inclu
de, but are not limited to:
The right to explore in the spec
ific area has e
xpired dur
ing t
he peri
od or will expire i
n the
near future, a
nd is not expected to be renewed
Substantive expenditure
on fu
rther exploration for and evaluat
ion of mineral resource
s in
the specific ar
ea is nei
ther planne
d or budgeted
At December
31, 2021,
the Entity
determined
that no
indicators
of impairment
existed with
respect to
the Entity’s E&E assets.
Why the matter is a key aud
it matter
We identified the evaluation of indicators of impairment for ex
ploration and eval
uation assets as a
key audit matter. This matter r
epresented an area of significan
t auditor judgement required in
evaluating the internal and ext
erna
l factors included in the Entity’s indicators of impairme
nt analysis.
How the matter was addre
ssed in the audit
The following are the primary
procedures we performed to addres
s this key audit matter:
Assessed the status of the Entity
’s rights to explore by discu
ssing wit
h management if any
rights were not expected to be
rene
wed and inspecting exp
loratory licenses and ren
ewals
Assessed if substantive expenditures on furt
her exploration fo
r and evaluation of oil a
nd
natura
l gas resources in each ar
ea of inter
est are planned or
d
iscontinued by inspecti
ng
intern
al communications and
external correspondence.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the
other information. Other info
rmation comprises:
the
information
included
in
the
Management
’s
Discussion
and
Ana
lysis
filed
with
the
relevant
Canadian Securities Commis
sions.
Our
opinion
on
the
financial
st
at
ements
does
not
cover
the
othe
r
information
and
we
do
not
and
wil
l
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection
with our audit
of
the financial
st
atements, our
r
esponsibility is to
read the other
information
identified
abov
e
and,
in
doing
so,
consi
der
whether
the
other
information
is
materially
inconsistent wit
h the
financial
statements or
our knowle
dge obt
ai
ned in
the audit
and
remain a
lert for
indications that the other informa
tion a
ppears to be materially
misstated.
We obtained
the information, i
ncluded
in Management’s Discussio
n
and Analysis filed
with the
relevant Canadian Securities
C
ommissions as at the date
of this
auditors’ report.
4
If,
based
on
t
he
work
we
have perfo
rmed
on
this o
ther
informati
on,
we
conclude
that
there
is
a
material
misstatement of this other informa
tion, we are required to repo
rt that fact in the auditors’ report.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Ma
nagement and Those Charged wi
th Governance for the Financial
Statements
Management
is
respons
ible
for
the
preparation
and
fair
presenta
ti
on
of
the
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
I
nternational
Financial
R
eporting
Standards
(IF
RS)
as
issued
by
the
International
Accounting
Standards
Board
(IASB)
,
and
for
such
internal
contro
l
as
management
determines
is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In
preparing
the
financial
stat
ements,
management
is
responsible
for
assessing
the
Entity’s
ability to
continue as a
g
oing concern, disclosing as
a
pplicable, matters
related to going
co
ncern and using
th
e
going
concern
basis
of
accoun
ting
u
nless
m
anagement
either
intends
to
liquid
ate
the
Entity
or
to
cease
operations, or has no realisti
c
alternative but to do so.
Those charg
ed with
governance are
responsible
for overseeing
th
e Entity’s
financial reporti
ng
process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the A
udit of the Financial
Statements
Our objectives are
to obtain reasonable assurance about
wh
ether the financial
statements
as
a whole
are
free
from
material
missta
tement,
whether
due
to
fraud
or
er
ror,
and
to
issue
an
auditors’
report
that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assuranc
e is a high le
vel of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted
in
accordance with Canadian generally accep
ted auditing standards
will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements
can
arise
from
fr
aud
or
error
and
are
considered
m
aterial
if,
individually
or
in
the
aggregate, they could r
eas
onably be expected
to influence the e
conomic decisions
of users taken on
the basis of the financ
ial statements.
As part
of
an
audit
in accor
dance wit
h Ca
nadian
generally
accep
ted
auditing
standards,
we
exercise
professional judgment and m
aintai
n professional skepticis
m thro
ughout the audit.
We also:
Identify and
as
sess the
risks of material misstatement
of the
f
inancial statements,
wheth
er due
to
fraud
or
error,
design
and
per
fo
rm
audit
procedures
respo
nsive
to
those
risks,
and
obtai
n
audit
evid
ence that is sufficient and
appropriat
e to provide a basis
for our opinio
n.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for o
ne
resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omi
s
sions,
misrepres
entations, or the ove
rride
of internal contro
l.
Obtain an
understanding
of internal
control
relevant to
the aud
it
in order
to
design audit
procedures
that
are
ap
propriate
in
the
circum
stances,
but
not
f
or
the
pur
pose
of
expressing
an
opinion on the effectiveness o
f t
he Entity's interna
l control.
Evaluate the appropriateness
of accounting polic
ies used and th
e reas
onableness of acc
ounting
estimates and related disclosures made by mana
gemen
t.
5
Conclude on the
ap
propriateness of
management's use of
the goin
g concern basis of
accounting
and,
based
on
the
a
udit
evidence
obtain
ed,
whether
a
mater
ial
u
ncertainty
exists
relate
d
to
events
or conditions
that may cast
significant doubt
on the
Entity's a
bility
to continue
as a
going concern.
If
we
conclude that
a material
unc
ertainty
exists, w
e are
requi
red to
draw attention
in our
auditors’
report
to
the related
disclosure
s
in
the
financial statements
o
r, if
such disclosures
are
inadequate,
to
modify
our
opinion.
Our
conclusions
are
b
ased
on
the
audit
e
vidence
obt
ained
up
to
the
date
of
our
auditors
report.
Howev
er,
future
even
ts
or
conditions
m
ay
cause
the
Entity
to
cease
to
contin
ue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentat
ion, structure and content of the
financ
ial statements, including the
disclosures,
and
wheth
er
the
f
inancial
statements
represent
the
under
lying
transactions
and
events in a manner that achieves fair present
ation.
Communicate with those char
ged with gover
nance regarding, among
other matters, the p
l
anned
scope
and
timing of
the
audit
and
significant
audit
findings,
i
ncluding
any si
gnificant
deficiencies
in internal control that we id
entify during our audit.
Provide
those
charged
with
governance
with
a
statement
that
we
have
c
omplied
with
r
elevant
ethical
requirements
regard
ing
independenc

wi

t
hem
all

and
other
matters
that m
ay
reasonabl
y
be
thought
to
bear
on
our
ind
ependence,
and
where
applicable, related safeguards
.

of

are
responsible
for
the

and

of

We

solely r

Determine,
from
the
matters
communicated

those
matters
that
were
of

ost
significance
in
the
audit
of

financial

of

current
period
and
are
therefore the key
audit matters. W
e describe these
matters
in
our auditors’ report
unless law
or
regulation
precludes
pub
lic
disclosure
about
the
matter
or
w
hen,
in
extremely
rare
circumstances,
we
determi
ne
that
a
matter
should
n
ot
be
communi
c
ated
in
our
auditors’
repor
t
because
the
adverse
consequenc
es
of
doing
s
o
would
reas
onably
b
e
ex
pected
to
outweigh
the
public interest ben
efits of such communication.
