D.  Risk Factors





General Business Risks





We Have Had a History of Operating Losses Which May Affect Our Ability to Continue Operations.





We incurred a loss of $5,138,333 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and although we showed income of $435,290 for the year ended December 31, 2011, we have incurred operating losses in the previous fiscal years with our accumulated deficit totaling $18,963,479 as at December 31, 2012.   We also anticipate sustaining a loss from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  We have no sources of revenue and only show income as a result of accounting for our equity share of profits of our associates.   As a result, we may not be able to sustain operations in the future without additional debt or equity financing.





Unless We Are Able To Discover Economically  Recoverable Reserves in the Future, We May Not Be Able to Continue Operations as a Going Concern in the Long Term.




Our business success is dependent upon our ability to indirectly or directly discover economically recoverable reserves, and to bring such reserves into profitable production, and is subject to a number of risks, including environmental risks, contractual risks, legal and political risks, fluctuations in the price of oil and gas, and other factors beyond our control.




The consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by management on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”.  Management believes the “going concern” basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, is appropriate.  We have experienced significant operating losses and cash outflows from operations in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and have no producing properties.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, although we showed net income of $435,290, $885,912 of the income was from our share of profits and loss of associates recorded on the equity basis. Our ability to continue as a “going concern” in the long term is dependent on achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.


7


Although We Believe We Have Sufficient Working Capital as of April 26, 2013 to Support Our Business in 2013, We May Need Additional Funds in Order to Implement Our Intended Projects and There is No Assurance that Such Funds Will Be Available As, If, and When, Needed.





Funds used in operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $(422,144) and $(446,718), respectively. We have been dependent upon the proceeds of equity and debt financing in addition to the disposition of assets to fund operations. No assurances can be given that our actual cash requirements will not exceed our budget, that anticipated revenues will be realized, or that, when needed, lines of credit will be available if necessary or that additional capital will be available to us. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional funds on terms and conditions we may deem acceptable. Failure to obtain such additional funds may materially and adversely affect our ability to acquire interests directly or indirectly in producing oil and gas and mineral properties.





We Do Not Intend to Pay Dividends In the Foreseeable Future, and thus, You Should Not Expect to Receive Dividends.




We have paid no dividends on our common shares since inception, and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. See "Description of Common Shares."








The Market Price of Our Common Shares Has Been, and Will Likely Continue to Be, Volatile.





The market price of our common shares has fluctuated over a wide range, and it is likely that the price of our common shares will fluctuate in the future.  Further, announcements regarding acquisitions, the status of corporate collaborations, regulatory approvals or other developments by us or our competitors could have a significant impact on the market price of our common shares.





The Value and Transferability of Our Shares May Be Adversely Impacted By the Limited Trading Market For Our Shares and the Penny Stock Rules.





There is only a limited trading market for our shares on the Pink Sheets (“Pink Sheets”).  There can be no assurance that this market will be sustained, or that we will be able to satisfy any future trading criteria that may be imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).





In addition, holders of our common shares may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the “penny stock rules” which apply to  our common shares.  Under the penny stock rules, the Securities and Exchange Commission imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rules, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market.  It may also cause fewer broker-dealers to make a market in our common shares.


8


The Large Number of Shares Eligible For Future Sale By Existing Shareholders May Adversely Affect the Market Price For Our Common Shares.





Future sales of substantial amounts of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.  At April 26, 2013, we had 439,143,765 common shares outstanding.  We currently have 268,207,623 shares available to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. We intend to include these common shares in a future Registration Statement to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, registering the common shares for sale. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares of common shares or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices of our common shares prevailing from time to time.  The possibility that substantial amounts of our common shares may be sold under SEC Rule 144 into the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.  A total of 268,207,623 are currently able to be resold under Rule 144.





Your vote may not affect the outcome of any shareholder vote since our principal stockholder currently retains approximately 51% of our outstanding stock.





For instance, Philex Mining Corporation and its subsidiary Philex Petroleum Corporation may be able to control the outcome of all stockholder votes, including votes concerning director elections, charter and by-law amendments and possible mergers, corporate control contests and other significant corporate transactions which may not be in the interests of all shareholders.





Foreign Laws, Rules and Environmental Regulations to Which We Are Subject May Adversely Affect Our Business Operations As Well As the Market Price For Our Stock.





The production of oil and gas and the extraction of minerals by companies we invest in or by ourselves is generally subject to extensive laws, rules, orders and regulations governing a wide variety of matters, including the drilling and spacing of wells, allowable rates of production, prevention of waste and pollution and protection of the environment.  In addition to the direct costs borne in complying with such regulations, operations and revenues may be impacted to the extent that certain regulations limit oil and gas and mineral production to below economic levels.  Although the particular regulations applicable in each jurisdiction in which operations are conducted vary, such regulations are generally designed to ensure that oil and gas operations are carried out in a safe and efficient manner, and to ensure that similarly-situated operators are provided with reasonable opportunities to produce their respective fair share of available crude oil, natural gas, and mineral reserves.  However, since these regulations generally apply to all oil and gas producers, we believe that these regulations should not put us at a material disadvantage to other oil, gas and mineral producers.


9


Operating Risks - Oil and Gas Exploration Activities





We Do Not Currently Directly Own Properties With Oil or Gas or Mineral Reserves.  Our Failure to Find or Acquire Available Reserves May Adversely Impact Our Business Operations.




We do not own any properties or investments  with oil, natural gas or mineral reserves.  Our future oil, natural gas, or mineral reserves, production, and therefore, cash flow and income, as well as our success are highly dependent on success in finding or acquiring recoverable reserves by ourselves or through our investments and obtaining the financing necessary to acquire such reserves.  We cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to develop, exploit, find or acquire reserves to replace future production, if any.





Exploring For and Producing Oil and Natural Gas and Minerals Are High-Risk Activities With Many Uncertainties That Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition or Results of Operations.





Exploration and development of oil and gas and mineral resources involve a high degree of risk, and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties.  There is no assurance that our exploration and development activities or those of companies that we invest in will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of oil, gas or minerals.  The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs or those of companies we invest in which may be affected by a number of factors.  Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources, and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction.  Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit of oil, gas or minerals, no assurance can be given that natural resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.





If We Or Companies We Invest In Are Unable to Continue to Identify, Explore and Develop New Properties, Our Business Operations May Be Adversely Affected.





We expect that to be successful in our oil and gas and mineral exploration activities, we must continually acquire or explore for and develop new oil and gas reserves to replace those, if any, being depleted by production by ourselves or by companies we invest in.  Without successful drilling or acquisition ventures, our direct and indirect oil and gas assets, mineral assets and, properties and the revenues derived there from, if any, will decline over time.  To the extent we engage in drilling activities directly or indirectly, such activities carry the risk that no commercially viable oil or gas production or mineral extraction will be obtained.  The cost of drilling, completing and operating oil and gas wells is often uncertain.  Moreover, drilling for oil and gas and minerals may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of many factors, including shortage of available working capital, title problems, weather conditions, environmental concerns, government prohibitions, shortages of or delays in delivery of equipment, as well as the financial instability of well operators, major working interest owners, and drilling and well servicing companies.  The availability of a ready market for oil and gas and minerals will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and minerals, the proximity of natural gas reserves to pipelines, the capacity of such pipelines, the proximity of any smelting facilities in relation to any minerals found, fluctuations in seasonal demand, the effects of inclement weather, and government regulation.  New gas wells may be “shut-in” for lack of a market until a gas pipeline or gathering system with available capacity is extended into an area.


10


The Exploration and Development of Oil and Gas and Mineral Properties are Subject to Operating Hazards and Risks for Which We Will Be Uninsured.





Exploration for natural resources involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Operations in which we expect to acquire an interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage.  These include the possibility of fires, earthquake activity, coastal erosion, explosions, blowouts, oil spills or seepage, gas leaks, discharge of toxic gas, over-pressurized formations, unusual or unexpected geological conditions and the absence of economically viable reserves.  These hazards may result in cost overruns, substantial losses, and/or exposure to substantial environmental and other liabilities.





Fluctuating Resource Prices May Adversely Impact Our Operations and Activities.





The price of natural resources has traditionally been subject to wide fluctuations, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods.  The effect of these factors on the price of oil and gas and minerals, and therefore, the economic viability of any of our exploration projects or those of our investments, cannot accurately be predicted.





If We Fail to Fulfill Our Obligations Under Our Purchase Option and Joint Venture Agreements, Not Only Will Our Operations Be Adversely Affected, But We May Lose Our Interest In the Property in Question.




We may, in the future, be unable to meet our share of costs incurred under joint venture agreements or other option or joint venture agreements to which we are, or may become a party, and we may have our interest in properties, in which we may acquire interests subject to such agreements, reduced as a result. Furthermore, if other parties to such agreements do not meet their share of such costs, we may be unable to finance the cost required to complete recommended programs. In 2012, our equity interest in Lascogon Mining Corporation was diluted from 40% to 1.08% as we were unable to meet a capital call for a work program. We could be further diluted in the future should Lascogon issue more capital calls.








It Is Possible that Our Title for the Claims in Which We Have a Direct or Indirect Interest in Will Be Challenged By Third Parties.




Although we will attempt to ascertain the status of the title for any projects in which we have or will acquire a material direct or indirect interest, there is no guarantee that title to such concessions will not be challenged or impugned. In some countries, the system for recording title to the rights to explore, develop, and mine natural resources is such that a title opinion provides only minimal comfort that the holder has title. Also, in many countries, claims have been made and new claims are being made by aboriginal peoples, and other countries claming rights, that call into question the property rights granted by the governments of those countries.


11


Reserve Estimates for Resources That May Be Reported By Us Are Dependent On Many Assumptions that May Ultimately Turn Out to Be Inaccurate.












Any Resource Production That We May Undertake and Marketing or That of Companies That we Have Invested In May Be Adversely Affected By Factors Beyond Our Control.





The production and marketing of resources are affected by a number of competitive factors which are beyond our control and the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted.  These factors include crude oil and mineral imports, actions by foreign oil-producing nations and other mineral producers, the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation facilities, the availability of equipment and personnel, the marketing of competitive fuels and minerals, the effect of governmental regulations, and other matters affecting the availability of a ready market such as fluctuating supply and demand.





Our Operations Will Be Subject to Numerous Environmental Risks If We Are Successful In Obtaining Properties That Have Proven Resources Or If We Undertake Exploration Activities Ourselves.





Our resource operations and those of companies we invest in, if any will be subject to compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  We believe that there is a trend toward stricter standards of environmental regulation which will in all probability continue.  Compliance with such laws and standards may cause substantial delays and require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our earnings and competitive position in the future.





Since We May Acquire Holdings In Properties In Less Developed Countries and Have Indirectly Acquired Holdings in Properties In Less Developed Countries, Our Operations May Be Adversely Affected By Risks Associated With the Political, Economic and Social Climate of the Countries In Which We Will Operate or Have Indirect Holdings .





Since our direct and indirect exploration and development activities will occur primarily in countries other than Canada and the United States, we may be affected by possible political or economic instability in those countries.  The risks include, but are not limited to, terrorism, military repression, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and high rates of inflation.  Changes in resource development or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in these countries may adversely affect our business. Operations may be effected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.  Exploration and production activities in areas outside of the United States and Canada are also subject to the risks inherent in foreign operations, including loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of hazards such as expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection and other political risks.


12
 We Face Competition From Larger and Better Financed Companies Seeking to Acquire Properties In Our Sphere of Operation.





The resource industry is highly competitive, and our business could be harmed by competition from other companies.  Because resources are fungible commodities, the principal form of competition is price competition.  We will strive to maintain the lowest exploration and production costs possible to maximize profits and insure that any companies in which we invest do the same.  In addition, as an independent resource company, we frequently compete for reserve acquisitions, exploration leases, licenses, concessions and marketing agreements against companies with financial and other resources substantially larger than we possess.  Many of our competitors have established strategic long term positions and maintain strong governmental relationships in countries in which we  may seek entry.





We  Currently Do Not Maintain Insurance Against Potential Losses and Unexpected Liabilities.





As previously stated herein, exploration for and production of resources can be hazardous, involving natural disasters and other unforeseen occurrences such as “blowouts”, “cratering”, fires and loss of well control, which can damage or destroy wells or production facilities, injure or kill people, and damage property and the environment.  Although we intend to maintain insurance against many potential losses or liabilities arising from our operations in accordance with customary industry practices and in amounts that we believe to be prudent, we do not presently have such insurance coverage; and, even if we were to obtain such insurance coverage, there is no assurance that it will be adequate to protect against all operational risks, or subject to defenses or exclusions against insurance coverage.





We Are Dependent On Retaining Our Senior Management and Key Personnel.





To a large extent, we depend on the services of our senior management personnel.  These individuals have critical and unique knowledge of the areas of operations that facilitate the evaluation and acquisition of potential properties in our intended sphere of operations.  The loss of these experienced personnel, if that were to occur, could have a material adverse impact on our ability to compete in this region of the world.  We do not maintain any insurance against the loss of any management personnel.





Our Directors May Face Conflicts of Interest In Connection With Our Participation In Certain Ventures Because They Are Directors of Other Resource Companies.





Some of our directors participate in other resource companies and to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  It is possible that due to our directors’ conflicting interests, we may be precluded from participating in certain projects that we might otherwise have participated in or we may obtain less favorable terms on certain projects than we might have obtained if our directors were not also the directors of other participating mineral resource companies.  In their effort to balance their conflicting interests, our directors may approve terms that are equally favorable to all of their companies as opposed to negotiating terms that may be more favorable to us, but adverse to their other companies.  Additionally, it is possible that we may not be afforded certain opportunities to participate in particular projects because such projects are assigned to our directors’ other companies for which the directors may deem the projects to have a greater benefit.

Our security holders may not be able to enforce U.S. civil liabilities claims thereby limiting their ability to collect on claims against us.





We are incorporated in Canada and the majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States.  All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons.  In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in these countries against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.





ITEM4.  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY





A.  Our Corporate History and Development.




We were incorporated on February 8, 1982 in British Columbia, Canada under the name Tylox Corporation.  Our continuance under the Canada Business Corporation Act resulted in, among other things, our name change, first in December 1991, to Tracer Petroleum Corporation, followed in July 2003, to Forum Energy Corporation.  On May 18, 2005, we changed our name to FEC Resources, Inc.  We have no subsidiaries.  Prior to May 18, 2005, we owned 66 2/3% of Forum Exploration, Inc. (“FEI”) a Philippine-based oil and gas company with rights to develop certain concession areas as more fully described later in this document.  On May 18, 2005, we sold our interest in FEI to Forum Energy Plc (“FEP”) for shares of FEP and cash as more fully described later in this document.  We currently hold 24.05% of the issued and outstanding capital of FEP, and in addition we hold a 35% interest in Metalore Mining Corporation (“MMC”), a Philippine-based company that holds the rights to a 64 hectare license  which has been abandoned.  We also own a 1.08% interest in Mineral Production and Sharing Agreement 148 (“MPSA 148”), a gold exploration project, through Lascogon Mining Corporation in the Philippines.





We are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and, when warranted, development of natural resource and mineral properties.  Although we currently are not the operator with respect to interests we hold, we are actively seeking projects where our involvement would be more than management and advisory.  We were focused on the development of one mineral license in the Philippines until December 31, 2010, however the project was determined to be not feasible based on our findings and therefore was fully impaired.  The license is held by Lascogon Mining Corporation (“Lascogon Mining”) which was acquired from Philex Gold Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of Philex Mining Corporation, our then largest shareholder.  In 2012, we received a capital call for approximately $2,400,000 for future work programs and as a result of not participating, we were diluted from 40% interest in Lascogon Mining to 1.08% interest.




Our head office is located at 46 Royal Ridge Rise NW, Calgary, Alberta T3G 4V2.  Our phone number is (403) 290-1676.





B.  Business Overview





At this time, we do not have any significant revenue-generating assets, and as a result, rely upon equity and/or debt financing to fund ongoing operations.  We have experienced large operating losses and cash outflows and, as such, our ability to continue as a “going concern” is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and upon obtaining additional financing.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.  MMC had begun producing nominal quantities of iron ore which were expected to provide cash flow to us, but operations were shut down in 2006 for environmental reasons.  We have filed for a mineral production and sharing agreement covering the current and surrounding area which we believed would be granted and would have allowed production to resume.  To date the mineral production and sharing agreement has not been granted and the operations of MMC are still dormant and have been abandoned.

 Recent Developments





In April 2009, we signed a loan agreement with our ultimate parent company,  Philex Petroleum Corporation.  The US$273,000  loan bore interest at the Libor rate  plus three percent and was repayable by 31 December 2010, though extendable upon agreement.  Interest was payable every six months.





On December 21, 2012, $312,432 was repaid representing the total principal and accrued interest.





In May 2012, we received a capital call from Lascogon Mining in the amount of 100 million Philippine Pesos or approximately $2,400,000.  The capital call was made to address Lascogon Mining’s current deficit and to fund the upcoming work program and exploration budget.  We were given until December 21, 2012 to forward the requested funds or have our 40% interest diluted to 1.08%.  We did not forward funds and therefore our interest in Lascogon Mining was diluted to 1.08 percent.




The Philippines





We are currently pursuing exploration and development opportunities for oil, natural gas, gold, and copper in the Philippines through various companies in which we hold interests. FEP, in which we own a 24.05% equity interest, owns the oil and gas rights over a 8,800 square-kilometer block located in the West Philippine Sea. In addition FEP holds interests in various other concessions located in the Philippines.





We are involved in the exploration for gold and copper through our interest in Lascogon Mining Corporation.  The current mining exploration phase of the MPSA expires in January 2014 and it is uncertain whether a further 2 year extension will be granted.




Forum Energy Plc.





We currently own 24.05% of FEP. FEP was established through the consolidation in 2005 of the Philippine assets of FEC Resources, Inc. of Canada, and Sterling Energy Plc of the UK, into one corporate entity.

 SC 72 (Reed Bank) formerly GSEC101





The SC72 concession (Reed Bank), is located in the West Philippine Sea west of Palawan Island.


The license was awarded to Sterling Energy Plc in June 2002. Exploration in the area began in 1970 and in 1976 gas was discovered following the drilling of a well.  In total, four (4) wells have been drilled to date, all located at the south west end of the license.  Two (2) of the wells tested gas at rates of 3.6 mmcf/d and 3.2 mmcf/d.
  In 2003, Sterling reprocessed 250 km of 2D seismic and completed a feasibility study on a GTL  (gas-to-liquid) development scenario for the gas field.  The seismic work and the GTL study fulfilled the initial work commitments on the concession and Sterling was granted a twelve (12) month extension in June 2004.  In 2005, Forum acquired new 250 square kilometers of new 3D seismic data over the license area fulfilling its work commitments required under the twelve (12) month extension.
  In September 2006, results of the interpretation of the 3D seismic program at the Sampaguita gas discovery indicated a significant gas accumulation.


In 2008,  FEP finalized farm-out of a 30% interest in the license to a local partner Monte Oro Resources & Energy, Inc. (Monte Oro) in which FEP benefited from an immediate cash payment of $1.7million, securing Monte Oro’s involvement and thereby qualifying the Joint Venture for the Filipino Participation Incentive Allowance (FPIA) which entitles the Company to 7.5% of gross revenues, prior to sharing revenues with the government





On 15 February 2010, SC72 was awarded to Forum Energy in respect


In February 2010, the GSEC101 exploration license was converted into Service Contract 72. The area of the block was reduced from 10,360 Km2 to 8,800 Km2 as part of this conversion.





In the first quarter of 2011, Forum completed 565 Km2 of 3D seismic acquisition over the Sampaguita Gas Field and 2,202 Line-Km of 2D seismic data was also acquired over the block in order to further define additional leads.


The interpretation of the surveys was carried out by Weatherford Petroleum Consultants ("Weatherford"). Weatherford's report identified a number of drilling locations.

  Forum was planning the execution of the second sub-phase work program at SC72 which was expected to involve the drilling of up to two wells before August 14, 2013.  On January 17, 2013 Forum announced that it had applied for an extension to the second-sub phase of SC72 from the Philippine Department of Energy.  On January 25, 2013 Forum announced that it was granted an extension until August 14, 2015 to complete the second sub-phase of SC72.


SC 72 is located in a area which is subject to a territorial dispute between the Chinese and the Philippine governments. There are discussions being held to  try and finds a commercial solution but any such commercial solution would require the full support of the Philippine government.


Forum is also continuing to discuss potential partnerships with regards to SC72 to assist and augment in the successful acceleration of the development of the project.





SC 40 (Cebu)


The SC 40 (Cebu) contract area is located in the Visayan Basin in the central part of the Philippines archipelago.  The license area covers the northern area of Cebu Island and the adjacent offshore areas in the Central Tañon Strait and Visayan Sea.  Since 1994, a total of fifteen (15) wells have been drilled offshore in the Visayan Basin, thirteen (13) of these on the acreage covered by SC 40 (Cebu).  Forum Pacific International (“FPI”) acquired an interest in GSEC 69, covering the acreage, in 1994.  The concession was subsequently converted to a service contract, SC 40 (Cebu) in 1995.
 17
 In September 1997, FPI transferred its interest in SC 40 (Cebu) to Forum Energy International (“FEI”), at that time a wholly owned subsidiary of FPI.  SC 40 (Cebu) is now held 100% by FEI.  The original term of the service contract was for seven (7) years from 1995.  In September 2003, FEI extended the contract for an additional three (3) years, with the following work program commitments:


·
Drill one (1) well and acquire a minimum of 250 kilometers of seismic in year 8;
  ·
Drill two (2) wells in year 9; and
  ·
Drill two (2) wells in year 10.


The requirement to acquire the seismic data was deferred by one (1) year by the Philippines Department of Energy (“DOE”) to not later than the end of September 2005, the end of year 9.  FEI has the option to declare a field within the contract area commercial, and thus, relinquish 87.5% of the license area and convert the license into a development contract for a minimum twenty-five (25) year period.  There are also two (2) production bonuses to pay to the DOE as follows:


·
$1,000,000 upon production reaching 25,000 bopd;
  ·
$2,000,000 upon production reaching 50,000 bopd; and
  ·
$3,000,000 upon production reaching 75,000 bopd.


In any year, FEI can recover all recoverable costs from the gross income received under SC 40 (Cebu), provided that the amount does not exceed 70% of total gross income in any year.  Operating expenses exceeding 70% of gross income, including years with no income, can be recovered in subsequent years.
  In years where operating expenses are below 70%, it is possible to allocate the difference between the actual operating expenses and 70% against the recoverable costs.  FEI is required to remit to the DOE an amount equal to 60% of the remaining gross income less FPIA of 7.5%.  The remaining net income is subject to Philippine income tax, which is to be paid by the DOE out of its receipt of funds as detailed above.


SC 40 contains a number of prospects and leads including Libertad and Maya.  Other prospects and leads within the SC 40 (Cebu) acreage include West Malapascua, South Guintacan, West Toledo, Agojo and North Bantayan.
  In 2012, FEP wrote down $25,400,000 of its investment in Service Contract 40 as a result of receiving a resource assessment from an independent competent person
  2D Seismic Survey





FEP completed an offshore 2D seismic acquisition program in the Tañon Straits, west of Cebu Island, Philippines in June 2005.  The survey acquired 310 kilometers of new 2D data in license Service Contract 40 (“SC40”), where FEP holds a 66.7% interest.





The survey was conducted to improve the mapping of the central Tañon and Jibitnil Island prospects.  The new lines acquired between Jibitnil and Cebu Islands will help define more precisely the Jibitnil Island structure, which is cut by several faults.  In addition to seismic data, the survey included the acquisition of marine gravity and magnetic data.

Libertad Gas-To-Electricity (“GTE”) Project





The Libertad Gas Field is situated in northern Cebu, north of Cebu City.  The field was discovered in the late 1950's, but was not developed.  In 1993, a testing program was carried out on two (2) wells and during 1994 and 1995, five (5) additional wells were drilled on Libertad.  One of these wells tested gas and subsequently was completed as a gas producer.
  In 2004, FEP carried out a feasibility study to determine the most commercially viable option for the development of the Libertad Gas Field.  The results of this work recommended a development plan using three (3) GTE generators, with a maximum of 3.0 MW.


During December 2005, the DOE formally granted a Declaration of Commerciality for the development of the onshore Libertad Gas Field within SC40.  This represents the first Declaration of Commerciality within the Philippines since Shell’s Malampaya offshore gas field development, which came onstream in 2001.  The Declaration of Commerciality also allowed the retention of the portion of SC40 which contains all the currently identified prospects and discoveries.





The Libertad Gas Field will be developed as a GTE project and is expected to generate 1.7 mW of power. The field is progressing towards development, with commercial negotiation of the electricity contract underway.  Once completed and equipment requirements are known, full scale development will commence.




During 2009 the Department of Energy approved the Gas Sale & Purchase Agreement in respect of the development of the Libertad Gas Field, thus enabling DESCO to proceed with plans for power generation.  Although not material to Forum’s revenues, first production commenced in February 2012. Revenues for 2012 were approximatedly $87,758. Further ventures to produce across this significant acreage are underway and Forum is planning to drill onshore wells in 2013.





Maya





The Maya area is located on the north eastern tip of Cebu Island.  In October 2000, exploration well MST 11A was drilled.
  Although the well encountered oil shows, it was terminated due to mechanical problems.  A further three (3) wells were drilled in 2003, one of which, Forum 2-X (“F2X”), encountered multiple oil and gas bearing zones, but due to mechanical problems was suspended without proper testing.


FEP is considering further options in respect to Maya.


19


Basic Petroleum & Minerals Inc. (“BPMI”)





In May 2005, FEP entered into an agreement with Philippines-based Basic Consolidated Inc. (“BCI”), whereby the parties agreed to work under an exclusivity period towards finalizing the purchase by FEP of BCI’s petroleum interests in the Philippines, held through a wholly-owned subsidiary, BPMI. This culminated in February 2006 with the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement whereby FEP agreed to acquire 100% of BPMI in exchange for 933,759 shares of FEP and deferred consideration.





The acquisition was approved by BCI shareholders at the company’s Annual General Meeting on March 29, 2006.





BPMI assets included interests in nine (9) Philippine offshore fields, specifically the Galoc Field (2.27% participating interest) which commenced production in the fourth quarter 2008 and is currently in full production with 2.5 million barrels gross produced in 2009, and 2.69 million barrels gross in 2010. FEP received net revenues of $0.8 million in 2010 and 2009.





FEP also had nominal production from the SC6/14 Nido/Matinloc fields, which are contained within this block.





Previously, FEP also reported that its interest in the West Linepacan oil discovery was farmed-out for a 2.275% interest carried through development.





On May 10 2011, FEP announced that it had come to a settlement with Basic Energy Corporation ("BEC") in relation to certain of its service contracts in the NW Palawan area, offshore Philippines.





In the course of an arbitration process, on 10 May 2011, BEC and Forum signed a settlement agreement (the "Agreement") in relation to disputes relating to BEC's share in the historical cost recoveries arising from Service Contract 14 A and B (Nido-Matinloc Blocks), Service Contract 14-C (Galoc Block), and other blocks of Service Contract 14 and Service Contract 6, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement executed by BEC and FEP on 3 April 2006 (the "SPA").





In February 2012, FEP announced that the settlement agreement was not completed because not all required third party consents were obtained within the agreed timeframe resulting in the process going into arbitration.





On June 21, 2012 FEP has disclosed that FEP and BEC have agreed to a settlement under which FEP shall pay BEC the amount of $2,400,000, which is the remaining balance of a $10,000,000 payment stipulated in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, plus an additional $2,000,000 with $1,000,000 of the $2,000,000 due within six months and the balance of the $2,000,000 due within eighteen months.





Metalore Mining Corp.





MMC commenced preliminary mining operations at the beginning of October 2005, with iron ore extraction mainly being recovered as strewn boulders and debris recovered from routing of the mine access roads leading to the main iron ore body.  As of March, 2006, Metalore had successfully completed and shipped its first iron ore contract.  Difficulties were encountered prior to this with overburdens of pyrites, where iron ore had been anticipated, and with environmental compliance.




Mining operations were suspended in September 2006 because of problems caused by six (6) typhoons which hit the area in a three (3) month period and due to intervention by the local government of the Province of Bulacan who are in dispute with the central government (DENR) about who has jurisdiction over the mining operations.


20
 Metalore also decided to suspend mining operations under the Small Scale Mining Permits because of the limitations on equipment, namely the maximum of two (2) heavy excavators/bulldozers per 20 hectares.


Metalore has filed an application for an Exploration Permit over a total of 841 hectares which includes the small scale mining areas in which we were previously operating.  Metalore management  believed this would be approved after the May 2007 political elections and an MPSA would be granted, which is the relevant permit for large scale mining.  To date there has been no further developments and Metalore operations continue to be abandoned.





MPSA148(Philex Gold Joint Venture)





The surface investigation and limited diamond drilling that started in mid-2005 have identified gold-bearing jasperoid horizons in two (2) prospects, Lascogon and Danao, Philippines.





Starting in July 2006, some 3,000 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling over a 30 hectare (approx. 75 acres) area was done covering four (4) prospects.  To date, we have spent in excess of $1,000,000 evaluating the property.  Most of the effort has focused on the southern portion of the holding and has encountered numerous positive shows of gold and copper, but not in sufficient quantities to warrant entering commercial production.





In 2007, further trenching, drilling, sampling and assays were conducted  on MPSA 148. These were done initially on the Lascogon and Danua areas, then later, surveying, drilling and sampling on the Nabago prospective area.





Exploration during fiscal 2009 on the Lascogon Project was limited to trenching activities as recommended by project consultant IRES to provide additional basis for resource estimation. Limited work was completed on the property during fiscal 2010.





We received a technical report in respect of the Lascogon Project in 2010 prepared by Mr. Dexter S. Ferriera (a senior geostatistician and mining engineer at Independent Resource Estimation or IRES) in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. We evaluated the technical report and determined that the work completed on the Lascogon Project to date did not determine an economically viable gold reserve. Accordingly, we have fully written down our investment in Lascogon.





In May 2012, we received a capital call from Lascogon Mining in the amount of 100 million Philippine Pesos or approximately $2,400,000.  The capital call was made to address Lascogon Mining’s current deficit and to fund the upcoming work program and exploration budget.  We were given until December 21, 2012 to forward the requested funds or have its 40% interest diluted to 1.08%.  We did not forward funds and therefore our interest in Lascogon Mining was diluted to 1.08 percent.









C.  Organizational Structure





We are part of a group of companies with our parent company being Philex Petroleum Corporation and the ultimate parent company of our group of companies is Philex Mining Corporation. We have no subsidiaries.

 ITEM5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS.





We have experienced significant operating losses over the last few years, and as a result, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on achieving profitable operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing.





Our audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, which are  different from US GAAP (refer to the Auditors’ Report dated April 26, 2013).





The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations for general and administrative transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars. The majority of the Company’s cash is kept in U.S. dollars.  As at December 31, 2012, the Company held  $878,033 (2011 - $1,612,609) of cash denominated in U.S. dollars subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the Canadian dollars and the U.S. dollars.





The following discussion and analysis of financial results should be read in conjunction with our Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, together with the notes related thereto.  The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Such information, although considered reasonable by our management at the time of preparation, may prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the statements made.





Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012 versus Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011 (IFRS 000’s)





We hold 8,550,200 shares (24.05%) of the capital of FEP, an AIM listed company which has a participating interest in 11 service contracts in the Philippines, three of which are in  production, one of which is in the development stage and seven of which are in the exploration and appraisal stage. FEP and ourselves are both subsidiaries of Philex Petroleum Corporation and are therefore affiliates of each other. We advise that: (i) the sole nature of our oil and gas activities is as a holder of 24.05% of the shares of FEP; and (ii) outside of information publicly made available by FEP, we are not privy to information of the status of FEP’s oil and gas activities on any of its projects.





FEP’s principal asset is the recently converted Service Contract 72 (“SC72”) (previously referred to as GSEC101), a petroleum license located offshore West of Palawan Island, Philippines. FEP  has completed a work program for the first sub-phase of SC72. The work program was designed to provide a more comprehensive valuation of the contract area and identify potential sites for appraisal wells.  The work program included 3D seismic work over an area of up to 550 km2 over and around the Sampaguita gas discovery, and 2,200 km of high resolution 2D over existing leads within the 8,800 km2 contract area. The seismic data is now under technical analysis. FEP’s share of the first sub-phase work program is estimated to cost up to approximately $7.4 million, and was funded through a $10 million facility agreement with Philex Mining Corporation (“Philex Mining”).





Forum was planning the execution of the second sub-phase work program at SC72 which was expected to involve the drilling of up to two wells before August 14, 2013.  On January 17, 2013 Forum announced that it had applied for an extension to the second-sub phase of SC72 from the Philippine Department of Energy.  On January 25, 2013 Forum announced that it was granted an extension until August 14, 2015 to complete the second sub-phase of SC72.

 Lascogon Mining Corporation (“Lascogon”)





We  held a 40% interest in Lascogon, which is a party to Mineral Production Sharing Agreement No. 148 with the Government of the Philippines (“MPSA 148”) which covers an area of 2,306 hectares (the “Lascogon Project”).  The Lascogon Project has not been a core project of either us or our joint venture partner and the operator of the Lascogon Project, Philex Gold Philippines Inc. (“PGPI”), an affiliate of ours, and therefore very little activity was undertaken on the project from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2011.





Exploration during fiscal 2009 on the Lascogon Project was limited to trenching activities as recommended by project consultant IRES to provide additional basis for resource estimation. Limited work was completed on the property during fiscal 2010. We received a technical report in respect of the Lascogon Project in 2011 prepared by Mr. Dexter S. Ferriera (a senior geostatistician and mining engineer at Independent Resource Estimation or IRES) in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Our board of directors  evaluated the technical report and determined that the work completed on the Lascogon Project to date did not determine an economically viable gold reserve. Accordingly, we have fully written down our investment in Lascogon.





In May 2012, we received a capital call from Lascogon Mining in the amount of 100 million Philippine Pesos or approximately $2,400,000.  The capital call was made to address Lascogon Mining’s current deficit and to fund the upcoming work program and exploration budget.  We were given until December 21, 2012 to forward the requested funds or have its 40% interest diluted to 1.08%.  We did not forward funds and therefore our interest in Lascogon Mining was diluted to 1.08 percent.




Metalore Mining Corporation (“Metalore”)





We continue to hold shares of the project joint venture company, Metalore but we have effectively abandoned the property that was previously held by the joint venture company.




Fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 versus December 31, 2011





Our consolidated accounts show loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $5,138,333 or $(0.01) per share, versus a income of $435,290 or $0.00 per share for the year ended December 31, 2011. General and Administration expense were $408,401 for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $441,146 for the same period in 2011. We recorded amortization of $1,065 for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $1,617 for the same period in 2011. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $10,642 versus $10,467 for the same period in the previous year. The difference was because of the interest on the outstanding advance from Philex Mining. Overall expenses were similar to those experienced in the previous year. For the year ended December 31, 2012 foreign exchange loss was $2,798 versus a loss of $1,983 for the year ended December 31, 2011.


23
 Share of profits/(loss) in associates  in Lascogon, MMC and FEP was $(4,688,441) for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $885,912 for the previous year as under the equity method of accounting the Corporation is required to report its share of net income or net loss in its statement of operations and reduce or increase its investment by the same amount. Our share of FEP’s loss was a large part of the share of profits/(loss) of associates.  In 2012, FEP wrote down $25,400,000 of its investment in SC40 as a result of receiving a resource assessment from an independent competent person.  Our equity share of loss related to the write down was $6,360,160, of which we recorded $4,688,441 in order to reduce the carrying value of our investment to $Nil with the remainder of this loss being unrecognized. The large difference in net income between 2012 and 2011 was attributable to recording our equity share of the loss of FEP .





Interest income was $877 for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $991 for the previous year. The difference was a result of the interest earned on the higher cash balance in 2011.





Fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 versus December 31, 2010





Our consolidated accounts show income for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $435,290 or $0.00 per share, versus a loss of $2,925,257 or $(0.01) per share for the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2010, as a result of determining that the Lascogon Project did not contain an economic reserve, we recorded an impairment of the capitalized project costs in the amount of $2,301,820. Thus, this impairment charge was the primary reason for the significant difference between the net income in 2011 and the net loss in 2010.





General and Administration expense were $441,146 for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus $516,563 for the same period in 2010. We recorded amortization of $1,617 for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus $1,489 for the same period in 2010. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $10,467 versus $10,975 for the same period in the previous year. The difference was because of the interest on the outstanding advance from Philex Mining. Overall expenses were similar to those experienced in the previous year. For the year ended December 31, 2011 foreign exchange loss was $1,983 versus a loss of $3,323 for the year ended December 31, 2010.





Share of profits/(loss) in associates  in Lascogon, Metalore and Forum Energy was $885,912 for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus $(100,843) for the previous year as under the equity method of accounting the Corporation is required to report its share of net income or net loss in its statement of operations and reduce or increase its investment by the same amount. Our share of Forum Energy’s income was a large part of the share of profits/(loss) of associates.





No shares of Forum Energy were sold to fund operations during 2011.





Interest income was $991 for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus $2,115 for the previous year. The difference was a result of the interest earned on the higher cash balance in 2010.





Balance Sheet





Our current assets were $899,135 at December 31, 2012 versus $1,632,629 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The difference is mainly a result of the higher cash balance on December 31, 2011. Our assets reflect the value of FEP and Lascogon on an equity basis. These investments are both reflected at a carrying value of $Nil in the financial statements as at December 31, 2012.


24


Liquidity and Capital Resources (IFRS)





Our working capital position at December 31, 2012 was $824,497 versus working capital of $1,241,598 at December 31, 2011 and shareholders’ equity was $826,981 at December 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011 $5,965,314).





On April 27, 2009 we reached an agreement with Philex Mining whereby our anticipated 2009 operating budget would be covered by way of a loan in the amount of $273,000 from Philex Mining. Interest on the loan is at Libor plus 3%. The loan and accrued interest totaling $312,432 was repaid on December 21, 2012.





If necessary, we are able to sell our FEP shares on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market to meet our working capital needs. No shares of FEP were sold to fund operations during the year.





Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $(406,459) versus $(438,538) for the same period in 2011 mainly as a result of the differences described in the results of operations above.





Cash used in investing activities was $Nil for the year ended December 31, 2012 versus $(1,792) for the previous year. The difference was not material.





Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $(312,432) versus $Nil for the previous year.  On December 21, 2012, we repaid and outstanding loan and accrued interest to Philex Mining.





Capital Resources





In order to fully earn a 40% interest in the joint venture with Philex Gold Philippines Inc. (“PGPI”) on the Lascogon Project, we were required to fund a total of $1 million of the work program by October, 2006 which was completed. To maintain our 40% interest, we were required to pay for 40% of the ongoing work program or our position would be diluted.  In May 2012, we received a capital call from Lascogon Mining in the amount of 100 million Philippine Pesos or approximately $2,400,000.  The capital call was made to address Lascogon Mining’s current deficit and to fund the upcoming work program and exploration budget.  We were given until December 21, 2012 to forward the requested funds or have our 40% interest diluted to 1.08%.  We did not forward funds and therefore our interest in Lascogon Mining was diluted to 1.08 percent.





We currently own 35% of Metalore, 1.08% of Lascogon and 24.05% of FEP. All but FEP require us to fund our share of any work programs in order to maintain our current equity holdings in each company. If FEP is required to raise additional funds through equity issuances then we would have to purchase our proportionate share of these equity issuances to maintain our current equity position.





Should we be unable to meet our share of the work programs then our holdings would be diluted down accordingly.  In 2007, we wrote off our investment in Metalore and in 2010, we wrote off our investment in Lascogon.





We will need to continue to raise funds through either debt, equity or the sale of assets until such time as we can find economically producible reserves. We don’t anticipate that we will require any additional funds for working capital for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share in January 2010 which is sufficient to cover operating costs for the foreseeable future.


25
 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.





Contractual Obligations





We have no employment contracts with any officers, directors, or consultants.





We may still need to raise additional funds if the results of our exploration programs demonstrate that either further exploration or development of the properties we invest in is warranted.  No assurance can be given that such financing will be available to us when required, or on commercially viable terms.  Currently, in order to raise capital, we have undertaken private placements and loans however we may also be forced to sell our shares of FEP.  See “RISK FACTORS.”





The following table provides information, as of the latest fiscal year, with respect to our known contractual obligations, including amounts, aggregated by contractual obligation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates




Basis of preparation and accounting policies




The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and are comprised of IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). The Company adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”) with a transition date of January 1, 2010. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and interpretations effective as of December 31, 2012.




There were no changes to the accounting policies applied by the Company to each of the 2012 quarterly unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, to those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.


26
 Critical Accounting Estimates





The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain judgments and estimates.  Changes in these judgments and estimates could have a material impact on our reported financial result and financial condition.





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.





Determination of natural resource reserves and natural resources estimates





The required process of estimating reserves of natural resources is critical to several accounting estimates that appear in our financial disclosures.  It requires significant judgments based on available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data.  These estimates may change substantially as data from ongoing development and production activities becomes available, and as economic conditions impacting oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, and royalty burdens change.  Reserve estimates impact net income through depletion and the application of an impairment test.  Revisions or changes in the reserve estimates can have either a positive or negative impact on net income.





Deferred tax assets and liabilities





Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on our current understanding of the tax law. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, we record our best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. We believe we have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.





Determination of the fair value of share-based compensation





We measure the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.





Lascogon Contingent Consideration





There were 30,000,000 common shares of ours issued into escrow which are to be awarded to the vendor of the investment in Lascogon upon the declaration of commerciality as full and final consideration for the investment; these shares are considered contingent consideration. These shares are to be released from escrow if the project is declared commercial and were deemed to have zero value when they were issued. Accordingly no liability has been recognized.


27
 Functional Currency





We evaluated our functional currency and determined that the United States Dollar was our functional currency.  All accounts and transactions were converted into US dollars from the transition date to IFRS.  We  determined that the effective date of the change in functional currency under IFRS was March 11, 2003.




Share capital and investments were converted from January 1, 2003 as a result of the conversion to IFRS.





Recent  Accounting Related Pronouncements





The following new standards, amendments and interpretations, which have not been early adopted in these financial statements, will or may have an effect on our future results and financial position:




Future Accounting Changes




IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”)





IAS 27 replaced the existing IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. IAS 27 contains accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. IAS 27 requires an entity preparing separate financial statements to account for those investments at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IAS 27 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.





IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”)





IAS 28 was amended in 2011 and now includes the required accounting for joint ventures as well as the definition and required accounting for investments in associates. The standard sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. Proportional consolidation is no longer an option for joint ventures. IAS 28 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment to IAS 28 on our financial statements.





IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)





IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and is the first step to replace current IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 9 on our financial statements.


28
 IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”)





IFRS 10 establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”)12 “Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities” and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.





IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”)





IFRS 11 establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. IFRS 11 supersedes current IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities-Non‐Monetary Contributions by Venturers” and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.





IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”)





IFRS 12 applies to entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated structured entity. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.





IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”)





IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies to IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except in specified circumstances. IFRS 13 is to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.





There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on us.

Not applicable





B.  Memorandum and Articles of Association





Reference is hereby made to our Certificate of Continuance, and to our Bylaws, each of which is incorporated herein by reference to, respectively, Exhibit 3.1 and 3.2 to our Registration Statement on Form F-1, file number 33-81290.





C.  Material Contracts.





See "Item 4. Information About the Company."





D.  Exchange Controls





Investment Canada Act




The Investment Canada Act (the “ICA”) prohibits the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise in Canada by non-Canadians without the prior consent of Investment Canada, the agency that administers the ICA, unless such acquisition is exempt under the provisions of the ICA.  Investment Canada must be notified of such exempt acquisitions.  The ICA covers acquisitions of control of corporate enterprises, whether by purchase of assets, shares or “voting interests” of an entity that controls, directly or indirectly, another entity carrying on a Canadian business.





Apart from the ICA, there are no other limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote securities imposed by Canadian law or our Certificate of Continuance.  There are no other decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities except as discussed in “Taxation”, below.





E.  Taxation





The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable in respect of our common stock.  The tax consequences to any particular holder of common stock will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation or member of a partnership, the jurisdiction in which that holder is subject to taxation, the place where that holder is resident and, generally, according to that holder's particular circumstances.  This summary is applicable only to holders who are resident in the United States; have never been resident in Canada; deal at arm's length with us; hold their common stock as capital property; and who will not use or hold the common stock in carrying on a business in Canada.


39


This summary does not take into account provincial income tax consequences.  This summary assumes that the publicly announced proposals will be enacted as proposed with the effective dates set out therein; otherwise, this summary assumes that there will be no other changes in law whether by judicial or legislative action.





If a non-resident were to dispose of common stock to another Canadian corporation which deals (or is deemed to deal) on a non-arm's length basis with the non-resident, and which, immediately after the disposition, is connected with us (i.e. which holds shares representing more than 10% of the voting power and more than 10% of the market value of all of our issued and outstanding shares), the excess of the proceeds over the paid-up capital of the common stock sold will be deemed to be taxable as a dividend either immediately, or eventually, by means of a deduction in computing the paid-up capital of the purchasing corporation.





Under the Canadian Tax Act, a gain from the sale of common stock by a non-resident will not be subject to Canadian tax, provided the stockholder (and/or persons who do not deal at arm's length with the stockholder) has not held a “substantial interest” in our shares (25% or more of the shares of any class of our equity securities) at any time in the five (5) years preceding the disposition.  Generally, the Canadian-United States Tax Convention (the “Tax Convention”) will exempt from Canadian taxation any capital gain realized by a resident of the United States, provided that the value of the common stock is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada.





In the case of any dividends paid to non-residents of Canada, the Canadian tax is withheld by us, which remits only the net amount to the stockholder. By virtue of Article X of the Tax Convention, the rate of tax on dividends paid to residents of the United States is generally limited to 15% of the gross dividend (or 10% in the case of certain corporate stockholders owning at least 10% of our voting shares).  In the absence of the treaty provisions, the rate of Canadian withholding tax imposed on non-residents is 25% of the gross dividend.  Stock dividends received by non-residents of Canada from us are taxable by Canada as ordinary dividends.





This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible income tax consequences.  It is not intended as legal or tax advice to any particular holder of common stock, and should not be so construed.  Each holder should consult his/her own tax advisor with respect to the income tax consequences applicable to him/her in his/her own particular circumstances.

 ITEM11.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.





Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity





The results of our operations are subject to currency translational risk, and currency transactional risk. Regarding currency translational risk, the operating results and financial position of our subsidiaries are reported in local currencies and then translated into Canadian dollars at the applicable exchange rate for preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  The fluctuation of the U.S. dollar and Philippine Peso in relation to Canadian dollar will therefore have an impact upon profitability of our operations and may also affect the value of our assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity.





In regards to transactional risk, our functional currency is the United States dollar and our activities are predominantly executed using both the U.S. and Canadian dollars.  We have done a limited number of financings, and we are not subject to significant operational exposures due to fluctuations in these currencies.  Our common shares are listed on the OTC.BB and are bought and sold in US dollars.  We have not entered into any agreements, or purchased any instruments, to hedge any possible currency risks at this time.





Interest Rate Sensitivity





We currently have no significant short-term or long-term debt requiring interest payments.  This does not require us to consider entering into any agreements or purchasing any instruments to hedge against possible interest rate risks at this time.  Our interest-earning investments are short-term.  Thus, any reductions in future income or carrying values due to future interest rate declines are believed to be immaterial.





Commodity Price Sensitivity





Our future revenue and profitability will be dependant, to a significant extent, upon prevailing spot market prices for gold, oil and gas.  In the past, gold, oil and gas prices have been volatile.  Prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in supply of, and demand for, gold, oil and gas, market uncertainty, and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  We currently have no significant operating revenue.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.




Disclosure Controls and Procedures




The Board has overall responsibility for reviewing our disclosure to ensure we provide full and plain disclosure to shareholders and other stakeholders.  The Board discharges its responsibilities through its committees, specifically with respect to financial disclosure.  The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing our financial reporting procedures and internal controls to ensure full and accurate disclosure of our financial position.




Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting or causing them to be designed under their supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (the "Evaluation Date") and concluded they are not  effective as discussed below.




Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting




The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.




As of December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that there were material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. The material weaknesses were an inability to detect the inappropriate application of IFRS guidance, as more fully described below, as the result of deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting.


42
 The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules were: (1) lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) limited number of staff, not allowing for complete segregation of incompatible duties.; and (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of IFRS and SEC disclosure requirements. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.




Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, will remedy the lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of IFRS and SEC disclosure requirements. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties.




Any effort to increase the size of the Board of Directors, appoint independent directors or personnel is conditional upon the Company raising additional capital.




We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.




This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.




Changes in Internal Control over financial reporting




During the year ended December 31, 2012, and subsequently there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or that would require corrective action.

ITEM16 .  (RESERVED)





ITEM 16A.AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT





The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing our financial reporting procedures, internal controls, the performance of our auditors, and the reserve evaluations prepared by our independent reserves evaluation engineering consultants.  The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing all disclosure with respect to financial matters prior to filing or release and quarterly and annual Financial Statements prior to their approval by the full Board.  Members of the Audit Committee during 2012 were Andrew Mullins, Carlo Pablo and Renato Migrino.  New Audit Committee members will be appointed following our meeting of shareholders in 2013.





Our Board has determined that it has at least one (1) financial expert serving on its Audit Committee.  This individual is Renato Migrino.  Mr. Migrino is the Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President Finance, and Compliance Officer for Philex Mining Corporation.  Mr. Migrino has significant experience in the review of financial statements and related information.





Mr. Migrino is our Treasurer and therefore would not be regarded as independent.





ITEM 16 B:CODE OF ETHICS.





We have adopted a formal “Code of Ethics” applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.  We believe that the Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:





1.
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


2.
Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, regulatory agencies and in other public communications made by the registrant;


3.
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;


4.
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the standards to an appropriate person or persons identified in the standards; and


5.
Accountability for adherence to the standards of the Code of Ethics.








The Code of Ethics (in hard copy) is available for inspection in our headquarters during regular business hours and a copy can also be provided at no charge on request.


In addition, we practice corporate governance in accordance with rules and regulations in Canada.





Corporate Governance relates to the activities of the Board who are elected by and accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with our on-going management.  Our Board encourages sound corporate governance practices designed to promote our well being and on-going development, having always as its ultimate objective our best long-term interests and the enhancement of value for all shareholders.  The Board also believes that sound corporate governance benefits our employees and the communities in which we operate.  The Board believes that our corporate governance policies and practices, outlined below, are appropriate and substantially consistent with the guidelines for improved corporate governance in Canada as adopted by the Toronto Stock Exchange.


44


To better fulfill and implement the Board’s corporate governance policies, we have established a Corporate Governance Committee.  The Corporate Governance Committee meets with and discusses current disclosure issuances with our management personnel, directors, and with both our Canadian and United States counsel, in order to not only report to the Board any matters which should be the subject of either public disclosure or remedial action, but also to assist the Board in establishing reporting and disclosure procedures to ensure that we are in compliance with our disclosure and compliance obligations under applicable laws, rules and obligations.  The members of the Corporate Governance Committee are Jose Villaluna, Carlo Pablo and Riaz Sumar.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.





Auditor's Responsibility


Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.





An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements.





We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.





Opinion


In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FEC Resources Inc. as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2012


(Stated in United States Dollars)








Note 1                      Corporate Information





FEC Resources Inc. (“FEC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada and is engaged primarily in the business of exploration and development of oil and gas and other mineral related opportunities, either directly or indirectly through companies in which the Company invests.  The Company is not currently directly involved in any oil and gas or mineral related exploration activities.  The Company is listed in the United States on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), having the symbol FECOF.





The principal address of the Company is 203, 200 Barclay Parade S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 4R5.  The Company’s parent company is Philex Mining Corporation.








Note 2                      Basis of Preparation





a)Statement of Compliance





These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).





The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2013.





b)Basis of Measurement





The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and are presented in United States dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency.





The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies.  The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

 December 31, 2012
 (Stated in United States Dollars)


Note 2                      Basis of Preparation (continued)





c)Nature of Operations





The exploration and development of oil and gas reserves and the pursuit of other energy and mineral reserves involves significant financial risks. The success of the Company is dependent upon the success of its investments and their ability to discover economically recoverable reserves and to bring such reserves into profitable production, and is subject to a number of risks, including environmental risks, contractual risks, legal risks and political risks, fluctuations in the price of oil and gas and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company has not generated revenue from operations. The Company experienced a net loss of $5,138,333 during the twelve months-ended December 31, 2012 including its equity share of loss in Forum Energy Plc of $4,688,441, a non-cash expense. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has cash resources of $878,033 which is considered sufficient to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period.








Note 3                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years presented in these financial statements.





a)      Investment in associates





Investments in companies over which the Company has the power to exercise significant influence (but not control) are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is a basis of accounting whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying value is adjusted thereafter to include the Company’s pro-rata share of post-acquisition income or loss.  The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income (loss) by the Company and the investment account of the Company is also increased or decreased to reflect the Company’s share of capital transactions and changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors.  Profit distributions received or receivable from the investments will reduce the carrying value of the investment.  Any premium paid for an associate above the fair value of the Company's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalised and included in the carrying amount of the associate.

 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 December 31, 2012
 (Stated in United States Dollars)


Note 3                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





a)      Investment in associates(continued)





Impairment





Investments accounted for on the equity basis are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset, with the result that they have a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline.





An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the investment. All impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. In the event the recoverable amount subsequently increases to a value greater than the carrying amount, an impairment gain is recognized up to the original pre-impaired value.





During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company did not recognize any write-down or impairment reversal of its investments.





b)      Property, plant and equipment





Recognition and Measurement





On initial recognition, property, plant, and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable cost of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company. This includes the appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items.  The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.





Property plant and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation less any impairment losses.





When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.





Gains and Losses





Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount, and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss.

 (Stated in United States Dollars)


Note 3                    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





b)      Property, plant and equipment (continued)





Depreciation





Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company depreciates its computer equipment at the rate of 30% per annum utilizing the declining balance method.





Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.





Impairment





The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.





c)Foreign Currency Translation





The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Company and its investments accounted for by the equity method operate in Canada, the United Kingdom and the Philippines.





For the Company and any of its investee companies with a United States dollar functional currency, at the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense denominated in a foreign currency is translated into United States dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year-end date, unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at the year-end date and the related translation differences are recognized in net income.





Exchange gains and losses arising on the retranslation of monetary available-for-sale financial assets are treated as a separate component of the change in fair value and recognized in net income/loss. Exchange gains and losses on non-monetary available-for-sale financial assets form part of the overall gain or loss recognized in respect of that financial instrument.





Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated into United States dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the initial transaction and are not subsequently restated. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or a revalued amount are translated into United States dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at the date the value is determined and the related translation differences are recognized in net income/loss or other comprehensive loss consistent with where the gain or loss on the underlying non-monetary asset or liability has been recognized.

 (Stated in United States Dollars)


Note 3                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





c)Foreign Currency Translation (continued)





For the Company’s investee companies with a functional currency other than Unites States Dollars, any cumulative translation adjustments would be included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (‘‘AOCI’’) if material and would represent unrealized translation gains and losses on the Company’s net investment in equity-accounted investees that are translated using the current rate method. The exchange gains and losses would become realized in earnings upon the disposition, liquidation or dilution of the investment that gave rise to such amounts.





d)Share-based Payments





Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of comprehensive loss/income over the vesting period.  Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting is based on the number of options that eventually vest.  Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted.  As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied.  The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.





Where terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification is also charged to the statement of comprehensive loss/income over the remaining vesting period.





Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of comprehensive loss/income, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of share capital.





When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.





All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

 (Stated in United States Dollars)


Note 3                    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





d)      Share-based Payments (continued)





Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.





e)Income Taxes





Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in net income except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income.





Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect of previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year-end date.





Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax basis, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.





Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting year the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.





f)Earnings / Loss Per Share





Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant year.





Diluted earnings/loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted.





There were no dilutive instruments (consisting of shares issuable on the exercise of options and warrants) outstanding on December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.

Note 3                    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





g)Financial Instruments





Financial Assets





Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.





Non-derivative financial assets that do not meet the definition of loans and receivables are classified as available-for-sale and comprise principally the Company’s investments in entities not qualifying as subsidiaries or associates. Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income/loss. If there is no quoted market price in an active market and fair value cannot be readily determined, then available-for sale investments are carried at cost.





Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.





The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, other receivables, trade and accrued payables and due to parent company.





The Company has designated cash and other receivables as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Trade and accrued payables and due to parent company are designated as other liabilities which are measured at amortized cost. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid.





Impairment on Financial Assets





At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired, if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets.





With the exception of equity instruments classified as available for sale, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease relates to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized; the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. On the date of impairment reversal, the carrying amount of the financial asset cannot exceed its amortized cost had impairment not been recognized.

h)Cash and Cash Equivalents





Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.





i)Share capital





Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.





Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.





j)Finance income and expenses:





Finance expense comprises interest expense on borrowings, accretion of the discount on provisions and impairment losses recognized on financial assets.





Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.





Foreign currency gains and losses, reported under finance income and expenses, are reported on a net basis.





Note 4                     Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective





The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). IFRS represents standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and are comprised of IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS’s”), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC’s”) and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC’s”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and interpretations effective as of December 31, 2012.








The following new standards, amendments and interpretations, which have not been early adopted in these financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Company’s future results and financial position:

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (“IAS 27”)





IAS 27 replaced the existing IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. IAS 27 contains accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. IAS 27 requires an entity preparing separate financial statements to account for those investments at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IAS 27 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.





IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”)





IAS 28 was amended in 2011 and now includes the required accounting for joint ventures as well as the definition and required accounting for investments in associates. The standard sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. Proportional consolidation is no longer an option for joint ventures. IAS 28 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment to IAS 28 on its financial statements.

IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and is the first step to replace current IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The company is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements.





IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”)





IFRS 10 establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12 “Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities” and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (“IFRS 11”)





IFRS 11 establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. IFRS 11 supersedes current IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” and SIC 13 “Jointly Controlled Entities-Non‐Monetary Contributions by Venturers” and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.





IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (“IFRS 12”)





IFRS 12 applies to entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated structured entity. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.





IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements (“IFRS 13”)





IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies to IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value


measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except in specified circumstances. IFRS 13 is to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.





There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.





Note 5                     Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments





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/loss 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 financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

i)
Lascogon Contingent Consideration – Note 8 (ii)





There were 30,000,000 common shares of the Company issued into escrow which are to be awarded to Indexa Corp., the vendor of the investment in Lascogon, upon the declaration of commerciality as full and final consideration for the investment; these shares are considered contingent consideration. These shares are to be released from escrow if the project is declared commercial and were deemed to have zero value when they were issued. Accordingly no liability has been recognized as the likelihood of the Lascogon being in a position to declare commerciality is remote.





ii)
Functional Currency





The Company evaluated its functional currency and determined that the United States Dollar was the functional currency of the Company.  All accounts and transactions were converted into US dollars from the transition date.  The Company determined that the effective date of the change in functional currency under IFRS was March 11, 2003.





Share capital and investments were converted from January 1, 2003.





iii)
Investments in Associates


The Company periodically or when circumstances change, reviews its investments in its associates to ascertain whether it has maintained significant influence over these investments and also, reviews whether there exists any evidence that the investments in associates are required to be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in Lascogon was diluted such that it was reclassified to Available-for sale investments as the Company determined that it no longer exerted significant influence over this investment.

i)
Investment in FEP (continued)





During the year ended December 31, 2012, FEP wrote down $25,400,000 of its investment in Service Contract 40 “SC40” as a result of receiving a resource estimate from an independent consultant.  The Company’s equity share of the losses incurred by FEP was in excess of the carrying value of the investment prior to recording the loss. However, in accordance with the guidance of IFRS, the Company has discontinued recording losses once the carrying value of the equity investment was reduced to zero.If FEP subsequently reports profits, the Company will resume recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.


As at December 31, 2012 the Company’s interest in FEP was 24.05% and on December 31, 2011 it was 25.63%.





At December 31, 2012, the Company held 8,550,200 shares of FEP with a fair value of $11,750,369 (December 31, 2011: $7,002,736). The common shares of FEP are traded on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”).





FEP is related to the Company by virtue of three common directors and a common parent.
 
 At December 31, 2011 FEP disclosed a contingent liability as the company was in an arbitration process with Basic Energy Corporation ("BEC") in relation to certain assets acquired from BEC. On June 21, 2012 FEP disclosed that FEP and BEC have agreed a settlement under which FEP shall pay BEC the amount of $2,400,000, which is the remaining balance of a $10,000,000 payment stipulated in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, plus an additional $2,000,000 with $1,000,000 of the $2,000,000 due within six months and the balance of the $2,000,000 due within eighteen months. The Company has not incurred any obligation to fund any of the settlement FEP reached with BEC.

30,000,000 common shares of the Company that were issued into escrow, to be awarded to the vendor of the investment in Lascogon upon the declaration of commerciality as full and final consideration for the assignment of its rights to the Company, are considered contingent consideration and will be recorded as an additional cost of the investment, at fair value, should Lascogon reach commerciality, which, as at December 31, 2012 is not considered likely.

ii)
Investment in Lascogon Mining Corporation (“Lascogon”) (continued)





In May 2012, the Company received a capital call from Lascogon in the amount of 100 million Philippine Pesos or approximately $2,400,000. The capital call was made to address Lascogon’s current deficit and to fund the upcoming work program and exploration budget. The Company was given until December 21, 2012 to forward the requested funds or have its 40% interest diluted to 1.08%. The Company did not forward funds and therefore its interest in Lascogon has been diluted to 1.08 percent with the result being that Lascogon is no longer considered an associate of the Company as the Company no longer exerts significant influence. Upon the dilution of its interest in Lascogon, the investment has been reclassified to an available for sale investment having a fair value of $Nil as at December 31, 2012.





In accordance with the original Heads of Agreement, the Company retained the right to buy back into Lascogon and re-establish its 40 percent interest but is required to pay a 400% penalty on funds it would have to advance.





As at December 31, 2012 Lascogon had approximately $3,668,000 of total assets comprised mostly of cash in the amount of $3,654,000. Lascogon had an immaterial loss for the year and advances due to related parties of approximately $4,087,000.





The Company is related to Lascogon by virtue of a common ultimate parent and three common directors.

Note 14                 Financial Instruments and Risk Management





The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:





-
Market Risk


-
Credit Risk


-
Liquidity Risk





In common with all other businesses, the company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.





There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous years unless otherwise stated in the note.





General Objectives, Policies and Procedures





The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the determination of the Company’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Company’s finance function. The Board of Directors receive quarterly reports from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.





The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.





a)Market Risk





Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.





Foreign currency exchange risk





The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations for general and administrative transactions denominated in Canadian Dollars. The majority of the Company’s cash is kept in U.S. dollars. As at December 31, 2012, the Company held an insignificant amount of cash denominated in Canadian dollars subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As at December 31, 2012, the Company held an insignificant amount of financial liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars that would be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between Canadian dollars and U.S. dollars.

Note 14                 Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)





Interest Rate Risk





Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any borrowings outstanding as at December 31, 2012.





Commodity Price Risk





Equity risk is the uncertainty associated with the valuation of assets arising from changes in equity markets.  The Company is exposed to this risk through its equity holdings. The investment in FEP is monitored by Management with decisions on sale taken at Board level.  The Company is exposed to Commodity Price Risk as FEP is actively involved in exploration for oil and gas.  A significant increase or decrease in commodity prices will likely have a resultant effect on the Company’s share price.





b)Credit risk





The Company maintains cash deposits in one chartered Canadian bank which, from time to time, exceed the amount of depositors insurance available in each respective account.  Management assesses the financial condition of this bank and believes that the possibility of any credit loss is minimal.





c)Liquidity risk





Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.  The Company does not generate cash from operations but rather, the Company will, from time to time, issue shares via equity placements, borrow funds from an affiliated company or undertake to sell a portion of its investment in the shares of FEP should it be necessary to raise funds. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining cash balances available to meet its anticipated operational needs. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flow to ensure that there is adequate capital to meet short-term and long-term obligations. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its growth plans. At December 31, 2012 the Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $74,638, all of which fall due for payment within twelve months of the balance sheet date.  The Company has minimal long-term commitments.





The carrying values of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments.

Note 15                 Capital Management








The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to provide an adequate return to shareholders, to meet external capital requirements on credit facilities and to support any growth plans.





The capital of the Company consists of the items included in shareholders’ equity and cash net of debt obligations. The Company monitors capital based on the debt to debt-plus-equity ratio. Debt is total debt shown on the balance sheet, less cash. Debt-plus-equity is calculated as debt shown on the balance sheet, plus total shareholders’ equity which includes share capital, warrants, contributed surplus and deficit. Currently the Company has no debt. The Company’s Board of Directors approves management’s annual capital expenditures plans and reviews and approves any material debt borrowing plans proposed by the Company’s management.





As at December 31, 2012, the company had no externally imposed capital requirements nor were there any changes in the company’s approach to capital management during the year.

 Forum Energy plc
 Chertsey, United Kingdom
 
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Forum Energy plc as of 31 December 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended 31 December 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Forum Energy plc at 31 December 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended 31 December 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a loan of US$15 million falling due for repayment in November 2013 to a related party which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Share capital represents the nominal value of shares issued. The share premium account holds the balance of consideration received in excess of the par value of the shares.
 
 The share option reserve relates to the cumulative fair value of options charged to the statement of comprehensive income adjusted for transfer on exercise, cancellation or expiry. The transfer of $438,000 between share option reserve and retained deficit during 2012 is due to the exercise of all options during 2012.
 
 The retained deficit is the cumulative net gains and losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income adjusted for transfer on exercise, cancellation or expiry of options from the share option reserve.

 NOTESTO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE YEARS ENDED 31DECEMBER 2012 AND 2011
 
 1  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of preparation
 The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements of Forum Energy plc and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) that are applicable to companies that prepare their financial statements under IFRS.
 
 i) Going concern
 
 The US$15 million three-year loan facility agreement (the "Philex Loan Facility") entered into between the Group and Philex Mining Corporation, the ultimate controlling party of the Company, is due for repayment on 24 November 2013.
 
 In addition:
 
 Ø
On 15 February 2010, the Company was awarded the Service Contract over the SC72 licence area. The first sub-phase Work Programme was completed in March 2011. The second sub-phase Work Programme originally required a minimum spend commitment of US$6 million by 15 August 2013. On 9 January 2013, a two year extension was approved by the Philippines Department of Energy. All of this minimum spend commitment has yet to be spent as at 31 December 2012; and,
 
 Ø
Pursuant to a Compromise Agreement reached between the Company and Basic Energy Corporation ("Basic Energy") on 21 June 2012, the Company is required to make a final payment of US$1 million to Basic Energy during 2013.
 
 Existing cash resources and revenue generated from the Galoc oil field are expected to be sufficient to allow the Group to meet the requirements of these commitments and overheads until repayment of the Philex Loan Facility falls due on 24 November 2013. At this point, further funds will be required to cover minimum spend requirements and overheads for the remainder of the 12-month going concern period.
 
 Based on preliminary discussions with Philex Mining Corporation, and in view of the two-year extension granted for the second sub-phase by the Philippine Department of Energy, the board anticipates that the terms of the Philex Loan Facility will be renegotiated, which will provide sufficient funds for a period of at least 12 months. If renegotiation is unsuccessful, Management would consider other options including delaying existing contractual commitments, disposing of certain development properties, the farm-out of certain development properties or securitization of income streams to raise the necessary funds.
 
 There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in renegotiating the existing Philex Loan Facility with its ultimate controlling party and, as a result, whether such financing would be available when needed, or on favorable terms and conditions. If the Company cannot renegotiate its Philex Loan Facility, then the Company will need to raise additional funding to continue as a going concern and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.
  ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations effective in 2012:
 
 The Group has adopted the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations which are effective for the first time this year. The adoption of these standards and amendments has had no material effect on the Group's accounting policies:
 
 Effective period commencing on or afterIFRS 7
Amendment – Transfer of Financial Asset
1 July 2011IFRS 1
Amendment – Severe hyperinflation and removal of fixed dates
1 July 2011IAS 12
Amendment – Recovery of Underlying Assets
1 January 2012
 
 F-34
 Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning after 1 July 2012 or later periods to which the Group has decided not to adopt early when early adoption is available. These are:
 
 Effective period commencing on or afterIAS 1 Amendment – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
1 July 2012IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements
1 January 2013IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements
1 January 2013IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
1 January 2013IFRS 13- Fair Value Measurement
1 January 2013IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements
1 January 2013IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
1 January 2013IAS 19 – Employee Benefits
1 January 2013IFRS 7 Amendment – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
1 January 2013IFRS 1 Amendment – Government Loans
1 January 2013Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011 Cycle)
1 January 2013IFRS 10, 11 and 12 Amendments – Transition Guidance
1 January 2013IFRIC 20 - Interpretation – Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
1 January 2013IAS 32 Amendment – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
1 January 2014IFRS 10,12 and IAS 27 Amendments – Investment Entities
1 January 2014IFRS 9- Financial Instruments
1 January 2015
 The Group is evaluating the impact of the above pronouncements but they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s earningsor shareholders’ funds.
 
 Basis of consolidation
 The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Group"). Inter-company transactions and balances between Group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
 
 Business combinations
 The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. In the consolidated statement of financial position, the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained.
 
 F-35
 
 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
 
 Joint ventures and other interests
 The Group enters into arrangements with third parties for the joint exploration and development activities under contractual arrangement. It classifies these arrangements as jointly controlled operations for the purposes of IAS 31. The Group also enters into arrangements with third parties for development and production activities under contractual agreement where the Group has an interest in the assets. Accordingly, the Group only accounts for its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, classified in the appropriate Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income headings.
 
 The Group’s interest in the Galoc, Nido and Matinloc fields are accounted for by the Group using proportionate consolidation which brings into account the Group’s share of assets, liabilities, revenue and operating costs related to their fields.
 
 Foreign currency
 The functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the US Dollar. Transactions entered into by each entitys in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the ‘functional currency’) are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the statement of financial position date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are similarly recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
 
 Financial instruments
 Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised when the contractual right to the cash flow expires or when substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are transferred. Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligations specified in the contract are either discharged or cancelled.
 
 Revenue
 Revenue is derived from sales of oil to third party customers. Sales of oil are recognised at the time of delivery of the product to the purchaser. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales tax or duty.
 
 Financial assets
 The Group classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired. The Group’s accounting policy for each category is as follows:
 
 Trade and other receivables and other financial assets – These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers, but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset such as advances made to affiliated entities. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. If the need for impairment of a receivable arises, the value of the provision, representing the expected loss from not being able to recover such receivables, is recognised as a cost of sale.
 
 Cash and cash equivalents – Cash comprises bank and cash deposits at variable interest rates. Any interest earned is accrued monthly and classified as interest income. Cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of IAS 39 these amounts are classified as loans and receivables where appropriate.
 
 Financial liabilities
 Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities – These are initially measured at fair value and subsequently recognised at amortised cost using effective interest rate method.
 
 Long-term loans with related parties are recognised initially at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost.
 
 F-36
 Share-based payments
 Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the vesting period.
 
 Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
 
 Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period.
 
 Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the statement of comprehensive income is charged with the fair value of goods and services received.
 
 Tax
 Tax on the profit or loss from ordinary activities includes current and deferred tax.
 
 Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Income tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when the tax relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the tax is also dealt with in equity.
 
 Deferred taxation
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill for which amortisation is not tax deductible, the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit and on investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
 
 Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised. The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered). Deferred tax balances are not discounted.
 
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the same taxable Group Company or different Group entities, which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.
 
 Unevaluated oil and gas properties
 The Group applies the full cost method of accounting, having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6 ‘Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources’. Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with exploration for and evaluation of mining and oil and gas properties are capitalised in geographical pools pending determination of the feasibility of each project. Such cost pools are based on geographic areas and are not larger than a segment. The Group currently has one pool, the Philippines.
 
 Costs which are capitalised include costs of licence acquisition, technical services and studies, exploration drilling and testing and appropriate technical and administrative expenses but do not include general overheads or costs incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area, which are expensed directly to the statement of comprehensive income as they occur.
 
 When the technical and commercial feasibility of a mining or oil or gas project has been determined, the related expenditures will be transferred to property, plant and equipment as proved properties. Where a licence is relinquished, or a project is abandoned, or is considered to be of no further commercial value to the Group, the related costs will be written-off to the statement of comprehensive income.
 F-37
 Unevaluated oil, gas and mining costs are assessed at each period end and where there are indications of impairment. Any amount by which carrying costs exceed recoverable amounts will be written-off. The recoverability of unevaluated oil, gas and mining costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of recoverable reserves.
 
 At the completion of the exploration phase, if technical feasibility is demonstrated and commercial reserves are discovered, then, following the decision to continue into the development phase, the carrying value of the relevant asset will be reclassified as an oil and gas asset within property, plant and equipment, but only after the carrying value of the asset has been assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of property, plant and equipment assets policy. Unevaluated oil and gas properties are not amortised prior to reclassification to the property, plant and equipment phase.
 
 Property, plant and equipment
 Depletion and amortisation of proved oil and gas mining properties is provided over the estimated commercial life of each property and computed using the units of production method based on proved reserves as determined by experts appointed by the operator of the service contract. Depletion is included within cost of sales within the statement of comprehensive income. Depreciation is included within administrative expenses within the statement of comprehensive income.
 
 Items of property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost. As well as the purchase price, cost includes directly attributable costs and the estimated present value of any future costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognised within provisions.
 
 Depreciation is provided on all items of property and equipment to write-off the carrying value of items over their expected useful economic lives. It is applied at the following rates:
 
 Transport and motor equipment

– 20% per annum straight lineFurniture, fixtures and fittings

– 20% per annum straight lineTools and other equipment

– 33% per annum straight line
 F-38
 
 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
 
 Impairment of property, plant and equipment
 Property, plant and equipment are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the asset’s cash-generating unit (i.e. the lowest group of assets in which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows).
 
 Any impairment charge is included in the administrative expenses line item in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognised in the statement of recognised income and expense.
 
 Inventories
 Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs
 of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
 
 Weighted average cost is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.
 
 Provision for abandonment costs
 Provision for abandonment costs is recognised at the commencement of production. The amount recognised is the present value of the estimated future expenditure determined in accordance with local conditions and requirements. A corresponding tangible fixed asset of an amount equivalent to the provision is also created. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital costs of production. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the fixed assets.
 
 Leased assets
 Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that do not give rights approximating ownership, these are treated as operating leases. The annual rentals are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
 
 Listed investments
 Listed investments are held at current market value.
 
 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
 In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, Management has made the following judgements which may be key sources of estimation uncertainty and have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
 
 Recoverability of exploration and evaluation costs – Under the full cost accounting method of accounting for exploration costs, such costs are capitalised as intangible assets and assessed for impairment on a cost pool basis when circumstances suggest that the carrying amount off the costs pool may exceed its recoverable value and, therefore, there is a potential risk of an impairment adjustment. This assessment involves judgement as to; the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined: future revenue and costs pertaining to any concession based on proved plus probable, prospective and contingent resources and the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and cost for the purpose of deriving a recoverable value.
 
 Management have reviewed the recoverability of the assets and have impaired them accordingly.
 
 Further information is included in Notes 4 & 12.
 F-39
 Depreciation – Percentages are applied by the Management to the Group’s net book value of depletable assets based on future levels of production
 for producing assets.
 
 Fair value of exploration and appraisal assets – The fair value of exploration and appraisal assets is based on internal and third-party reports, further discounted to reflect future risks such as higher interest rates, smaller than expected reserves and variation to other critical assumptions.
 
 Impairment review – While conducting an impairment review of its assets, the Group makes certain judgements in making assumptions about the likelihood of licence conversion, the future prices, reserve levels and future development and production costs. Changes in the estimates used can result in significant charges to the statement of comprehensive income. This is performed solely for the purposes of considering the carrying value of the Group’s assets.
 
 Legal proceedings and commercial disputes – In accordance with IFRS, the Group only recognises a provision where there is a present obligation from a past event, a transfer of economic benefit is probable and the amount of cost of the transfer can be estimated reliably. In instances where the criteria are not met, contingencies may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Realisation of any contingencies not currently recognised or disclosed in the financial statements could have a material effect on the Group’s financial position. Application of this accounting principle requires the Management to make determinations about various factual and legal matters beyond their control. Among the factors considered in making decisions on provisions are the nature of the disputes and litigations, the progress of the cases, the opinions of legal advisers, experience of similar cases and any decision of the Group’s Management as to how it will respond to any such claim or litigation.
 
 2 SEGMENT ANALYSIS
 
 The Group has three reportable segments:
 
 –
Producing assets
 –
Exploration assets
 –
Head office costs
 
 The operating results of each of these segments are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors in order to make decisions about the allocation of resources and assess their performance:

 Factors that may affect future tax charges
 At 31 December 2012, the Group had UK tax losses of approximately US$8,085,000 (2011: US$ 5,948,000) carried forward. These losses are subject to agreement by UK HMRC. At 31 December 2012 the Group had Philippines tax losses US$6,824,595 (2011: US$7,189,000) which can be carried forward and applied against future profits when they are realised. Philippines’ basic corporation tax rate is 30%.
 
 Philippine tax losses can only be carried forward for a maximum of three years. Tax losses currently carried forward are as follows:
 
 2010 – US$3,540,000
 2011 – US$1,895,000
 2012 – US$1,409,205
 
 A deferred tax asset of US$2,047,378 (2011: US$2,214,000) in respect of the Philippines tax losses carried forward and US$997,325 (2011: US$1,487,000) in respect of the UK tax losses has not been recognised due to the uncertainty that these tax losses will be utilisable against future taxable income.
 
 9 (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE
 
 (Loss)/earnings per Ordinary Share has been calculated using the weighted average number of shares in issue during the relevant financial periods.
 
 The weighted average number of equity shares in issue for the period is 35,549,533 (2011: 33,364,533).
 
 Loss for the Group attributable to the equity holders of the Group for the year US$26,256,000 (2011: Profit US$3,457,000).
 
 The effect of the share options in issue under the Share Option Plan is anti-dilutive. See Note 17 for further details of share options in issue.
 
 10 ADJUSTED (LOSS) / PROFIT
 
 In order to show results from operating activities on a consistent basis, an adjusted earnings is presented which excludes certain items as set out below. It is emphasised that the adjusted earnings is a non GAAP measure. The Board of Forum consider the adjusted earnings to better reflect the underlying performance of the Group

 Significant accounting policies
 Details of the significant accounting policies in respect of financial instruments are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.
 
 Financial risk management
 The Board seeks to minimise its exposure to financial risk by reviewing and agreeing policies for managing each financial risk and monitoring them on a regular basis. No formal policies have been put in place in order to hedge the Group activities to the exposure to currency risk or interest risk, however as the Group enters commercial production this may be considered. No derivatives or hedges were entered into during the year.
 
 The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:
 
 ·
cash flow interest rate risk
 ·
foreign currency risk
 ·
liquidity risk
 ·
credit risk
 ·
price risk
 
 The policy for each of the above risks is described in more detail below.
 
 The principal instruments used by the Group from which financial instruments risk arises are as follow:
 
 ·
trade and other receivables
 ·
cash and cash equivalents
 ·
trade and other payables
 ·
long-term borrowings
 
 The fair value of all the Groups financial assets and liabilities is approximate to their carrying values.
 
 F-54
 Cash flow interest rate risk
 The Group manages the interest rate risk associated with the Group’s cash assets by ensuring that interest rates are as favourable as possible, through the use of bank treasury deposits, whilst managing the access the Group requires to the funds for working capital purposes.
 
 At the year end the Group had a cash balance of US$5,760,000 (2011: US$2,761,000) which was made up as follows:

 Liquidity risk
 
 Liquidity risk arises from the Group’s management of working capital.
 
 The Group’s policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due, to achieve this the Group
 has arranged a US$15 million facility to continue to achieve this policy.
 
 It seeks to maintain readily available cash balances to meet expected requirements, all bank balances are currently held on an instant access basis.
 
 The liquidity risk of each Group entity is managed centrally by the Group treasury function. The investment budgets and work plans are set locally and agreed by the Board annually in advance, enabling the Group’s cash requirements to be anticipated.
 
 The contractual undiscounted amounts of financial liabilities are repayable as follows:

 Credit risk
 
 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or a counter-party of a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
 The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from credit sales.
 
 The Group currently has only two customers which are both Philippine-based oil companies. Costs of production are deducted prior to payment of the Groups share; therefore any losses would be limited to the net share of revenues. The two customers, which account for 100% of the Group’s revenues, are Galoc Production Company and The Philodrill Corporation.
 
 Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The majority of the Group’s deposits are held with two different International banks in the UK and in the Philippines. The Group’s deposits are held with an international bank, in which the UK government holds a majority shareholding, which the Board considers gives a high level of security.

 Price risk
 The Group’s oil and gas sale revenue is subject to energy market price risk. The Group does not intend to hedge the oil price risk in the short term.
 
 Capital
 
 The overall objective of the Directors is to maximise shareholder returns and minimise risks by keeping a reasonable balance between debt and equity.
 
 On a regular basis, the Board of Directors receive financial and operational performance reports that enable continuous management of assets, liabilities and liquidity.
 
 Up to 2010 the Group had minimised risk by being purely equity financed, or by agreeing partnerships for the development of its portfolio of hydrocarbon assets. In 2010 the Group agreed a loan facility (Note 22) to redress the reasonable balance between debt and equity.
 
 
 22 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 During the year the following related party transactions occurred within the Group:
 
 Philex Mining Corporation is the majority shareholder through direct and indirect shareholdings in the Company and the ultimate controlling party of the Group.
 
 In 2010 Forum Philippines Holdings Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, entered into a US$10 million Facility Agreement (‘the Facility’) with Philex Mining Corporation on 24 November 2010. The facility was increased to US$15 million during 2012.
 
 The Facility will be available for a three year period from the 24 November 2010 and funds can be borrowed at an interest rate of US LIBOR + 4.5%. During 2012 an additional US$9 million was drawn down (2011 - US$6 million drawn down) to enable the Group to fund its 70% share of the work programme over Service Contract 72 (‘SC72’). Obligations arising from funds drawn under this Facility are not convertible into the Group’s or Forum Philippines’ Ordinary Shares.
 
 Amounts due to Philex Mining Corporation in respect of this facility agreement as at 31 December 2012 amounted to US$15,000,000 (2011: US$6,000,000). Interest charged for use of the facility during the year was US$569,347 (2011: US$261,952).
