Description of the Business

Westbridge Energy Corporation (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and its principal business activity is the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. The Company was incorporated on February 9, 1956.

On April 9, 2019, the Company's common share listing was transferred to NEX, a separate board of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX.V"), for failing to meet all of the Tier 2 Maintenance Requirements ("TMR"). NEX is a separate board of the TSX.V for companies previously listed on the TSX.V or the Toronto Stock Exchange which have failed to maintain compliance with on-going financial listing standards of those markets. NEX has been designed to provide a forum for the trading of publicly listed companies without business revenues while they seek and undertake transactions in furtherance of a qualifying business acquisition and their reactivation on the TSX.V or the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The address of the Company's corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 615 - 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2V6. Westbridge Energy Corporation is a junior oil and natural gas exploration and production company. However, at this time, it has no active projects.

Financing Activity During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

In June 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") and issued 5,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $250,000. The shares issued in the Offering were subject a hold period that expired October 10, 2020. No finder's fees were paid in the Offering.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $19,590 (2019 - net loss of $15,246) comprised entirely of General and Administrative expenses ("G&A") in both periods. The increase was mainly due to higher professional fees due to legal fees incurred related to an effort to recover all or part of the US$200,000 performance bond related to one of the Namibian exploration licenses previously held by the Company.

Cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $184,654 (2019

  • $58.820). The increase was mainly due to a decrease of $132,654 (2019 - $1,702) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $248,100 which was the net proceeds of the private placement financing that was completed in June 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Judgements

The Company makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed interim financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

  1. Decommissioning Provisions

Asset retirement obligation provisions have been created based on the Company's internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management. Estimates are reviewed annually and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period. Actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend on future market prices for the rehabilitation costs which will reflect the market conditions at the time of the rehabilitation costs are actually incurred. The final cost of the currently recognized rehabilitation provisions may be higher or lower than currently estimated.

  1. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures

The application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is
