5. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Property, plant and equipment

The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognized in a business combination and related decommissioning obligation is based on market values. The market value of property, plant and equipment is the estimated amount for which property, plant and equipment could be exchanged on the acquisition date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of oil and gas properties (included in property, plant and equipment) and exploration and evaluation assets is estimated with reference to discounted proved and probable oil and gas reserves and the related cash flows based on independent third-party reserve evaluators reports. The risk-adjusted discount rate is specific to the asset with reference to general market conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and loans and borrowings

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and loans and borrowings is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The fair value of these balances approximate their carrying value due to their short term to maturity or in the case of loans and borrowings, the fair value approximates its carrying value as it bears interest at floating rates and the premium charged was indicative of the Company’s current credit premium.

Derivatives

The fair value of forward contracts is derived from quoted prices received from financial institutions and is based on published forward price curves as at the measurement date, using the remaining contracted oil and natural gas volumes.
