1. LEGAL STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Pakistan Petroleum Limited (the Company) was incorporated in Pakistan in 1950 with the main objectives of conducting exploration, prospecting, development and production of oil and natural gas resources. The Company is listed on all the three Stock Exchanges of Pakistan with effect from September 16, 2004. The registered office of the Company is located at PIDC House, Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road, Karachi.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance, 1984. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.
2.2. Accounting converter

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the measurement of 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' which are recorded at fair value in accordance with the requirements of IAS - 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement".
2.3. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

During the current year, the Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs as of July 01, 2009, which has resulted in extended disclosures as described below:

IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised)

IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amended)

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments
IAS 1 - "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The revised IAS 1 was issued in September 2007 and became effective for financial years beginning on or after January 01, 2009. The revised standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity includes only details of transactions with owners, with non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line. In addition, the standard has introduced a statement of comprehensive income, which presents all items of recognised income and expense, either as a single statement, or in two linked statements. The Company has opted to present two linked statements and accordingly has presented a separate statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements. Comparative figures have also been re-presented to bring in conformity with the revised standard.
IFRS 7 - "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" (Amendments)

The amended standard, which became effective for the financial years starting on or after January 01, 2009, requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. Fair value measurements related to items recorded at fair value are to be disclosed by source of inputs using a three level fair value hierarchy, by class, for all financial instruments recognised at fair value. The fair value measurement disclosures are presented in note 34 (a) to the financial statements. The liquidity risk disclosures are not significantly impacted by the amendments and are also presented in note 34 (d) to the financial statements.
IFRS 8 - "Operating Segments"

IFRS 8 replaced IAS 14 'Segment Reporting', effective for the financial years starting on or after January 01, 2009. This standard requires disclosure of information about the Company's operating segments and replaces the requirement to determine primary (business) and secondary (geographical) reporting segments of the Company. The Company concluded that the operating segments determined in accordance with the IFRS 8 are the same as the business segments previously identified under IAS 14.

The Company is also considering to approach the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in this respect. Details of the BESOS are given in note 18.1.
2.6. Property, plant and equipment

a) Owned assets

i. Property, plant and equipment, except freehold land and capital work-in-progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less impairment losses, if any.

Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalised and the assets so replaced, if any, are retired.

Gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment, if any, are included in profit and loss account.

Assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end.
ii. Capital spares held by the Company for replacement of major items of plant and machinery are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
iii. Prospecting and development expenditure is accounted for under the "successful efforts" method, whereby, costs to acquire producing reserves, successful exploratory wells and development wells, including unsuccessful development wells, are capitalised.

Unsuccessful exploratory wells are initially capitalised within the capital work-in-progress. However, they are transferred to profit and loss account when declared to be non-productive.

All exploration costs other than those related to exploratory drilling are charged to profit and loss account, as incurred.
b) Assets subject to finance leases

Assets held under finance leases are initially recorded at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments under the lease agreements and the fair value of the leased assets. The related obligations under the lease, net of financial charges allocated to future periods, are shown as a liability.

The financial charges are allocated to accounting periods in a manner so as to provide a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability.
2.7. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and that the cost of such assets can also be measured reliably.

Generally, costs associated with the development or maintenance of computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. However, costs that are directly associated with identifiable software and have probable economic benefits exceeding one year, are recognised as an intangible assets. Direct costs include the purchase cost of software and related overhead cost. Computer software costs that are directly associated with the computer and computer controlled machines which cannot operate without the related specific software, are included in the costs of the respective assets.

When the software is not an integral part of the related hardware, it is classified as an intangible asset. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Expenditures which enhance or extend the performance of computer software beyond their original specification and useful life is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software.
2.8. Depreciation and amortisation

a) Property, plant and equipment

i. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, except freehold land and capital work-in-progress, is charged on a straight line basis at the rates specified in note 4.1 and depreciation on capital spares is charged over the useful lives of the related items of plant and machinery to which these spares relate.

Depreciation on additions is charged from the month following the one in which the asset is available for use and on disposals upto the month the asset is in use.

Depreciation on leased assets is charged at the same rates as charged on the Company's own assets.
ii. Capitalised prospecting and development expenditure, including cost to acquire producing reserves, in respect of proven reserves and decommissioning assets, are amortised and charged to profit and loss account on unit of production basis.
b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised from the month when such assets are available for use on straight-line basis over their useful economic life at the rate stated in note 5.1.
2.9. Business combination

The Company uses purchase method of accounting for acquisition of assets or class of assets, whereby, the purchase consideration is allocated to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities based on the fair value at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is initially measured as of the acquisition date, being the excess of (a) the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquiree; and (b) the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

In case the fair value attributable to the Company's interest in the identifiable net assets exceeds the fair value of consideration, the Company recognises the resulting gain in the profit and loss account on the acquisition date.
2.10. Investments

a) Subsidiary

Investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment, if any.
b) Joint venture

Investment in Bolan Mining Enterprises (BME), a joint venture on a 50:50 basis with the Government of Balochistan, is accounted for using the equity method, whereby, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Company's share of the net assets of the joint venture. The profit and loss account reflects the Company's share of the results of the operations of the joint venture.
2.11. Stores and spares

Stores and spares are valued at lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value (NRV) except for stores in transit which are valued at costs incurred upto the balance sheet date. NRV is estimated based on management's experience and is also adjusted through systematic provision for obsolete and slow moving items.
2.12. Trade debts

Trade debts are carried at original invoice amounts less an estimate made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the balance sheet date. Bad debts are written off, when identified.
2.13. Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: held-to-maturity, at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates the designation at each balance sheet date.
a) Held-to-maturity

These are investments with fixed maturity that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held to maturity investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment, if any. These are classified as current and non-current assets in accordance with criteria set out by IFRSs.
b) At fair value through profit or loss

Investments which are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term or investments that are part of a portfolio of financial instruments exhibiting short-term profit taking are designated and classified as investments at fair value through profit or loss. These are stated at fair value with any resulting gains or losses recognised directly in the profit and loss account.
c) Available-for-sale

Available-for-sale financial assets include equity and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale are those, which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to liquidity needs or in response to changes in the market conditions.

At initial recognition, available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. For investments traded in active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market price and the investments for which a quoted market price is not available, or the fair value cannot be reasonably calculated, are measured at cost, subject to impairment review at each balance sheet date.

After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale reserve until (i) the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in the income statement, or (ii) determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss is recognised in the income statement and removed from the available-for-sale reserve.
d) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. After initial measurement loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment, if any. These are classified as current and non-current assets in accordance with criteria set out by IFRSs.
2.14. Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash and cheques in hand and at banks and include short-term highly liquid investments. The cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
2.15. Decommissioning obligation and its provision

Estimated cost to abandon and remove wells and production facilities is recognised as liability and a corresponding equivalent amount is capitalised under property, plant and equipment. The amount is based on present value of the estimated future expenditure.

Changes in the timing / cost of decommissioning estimates are dealt with prospectively, by recording adjustment to the provision and a corresponding adjustment to the property, plant and equipment.

The unwinding of discount is included in the finance costs.
2.16. Staff retirement benefits

a) Defined benefit plans

i. The Company operates approved funded pension and gratuity schemes, separately, for its executive and non-executive permanent staff. Provisions are made periodically, on the basis of actuarial valuations, for these pension and gratuity schemes. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous reporting period exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognised over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees.

The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits have already vested, following the introduction of or changes to a scheme, past service costs are recognised immediately.
ii. The Company provides post retirement medical benefits to its executive and non-executive permanent staff. The cost of these benefits is accrued over the expected remaining service lives of the employees based on actuarial valuations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses for the plan at the end of pervious reporting period exceed 10% of the higher of present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognised over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees.
iii. The Company accrues entitlement to leave preparatory to retirement of its executive staff on the basis of actuarial valuation. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately.
iv. Actuarial valuations are conducted annually and the last valuations were conducted as on June 30, 2010 based on the 'projected unit credit method'.
b) Defined contribution plan

The Company operates recognised provident fund schemes, separately, for its executive and non-executive permanent staff. Equal monthly contributions are made by the Company and the employees to the respective funds.
2.17. Compensated absences

The cost of compensated absences in respect of executive and non-executive staff is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuations. The latest valuations were conducted as on June 30, 2010.
2.18. Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.
2.19. Taxation

a) Current taxation

Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxation after taking into account tax credits and tax rebates available, if any.
b) Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
2.20. Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are carried at cost at the balance sheet date, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.
2.21. Revenue recognition

Sales are recorded on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of gas and other petroleum products, when the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably, which occurs on actual delivery of gas and other petroleum products.

Revenue from the sale is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of Government levies. Effect of adjustments, if any, arising from revision in sale prices is reflected as and when the prices are finalised with the customers and / or approved by the Government of Pakistan (GoP).

Revenue from the sale of gas and other petroleum products in which the Company has an interest with other joint venture partners is recognised based on the Company's working interest and the terms of the relevant contracts.

Income on held-to-maturity investments is recognised on time proportion basis taking into account the effective yield of such investments.

Income on term deposits and saving accounts with banks is proportionately accrued upto the balance sheet date.
2.22. Operating leases / Ijarah contracts

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2.23. Joint venture operations

The Company's share in transactions and balances related to joint venture operations in which the Company has a working interest are accounted for on the basis of the latest available cost statements. Estimates of expenditure are made for the intervening period upto the balance sheet date.
2.24. Foreign currency transactions and translation

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates approximating those prevailing on the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated in Pak rupees at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account.
2.25. Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised at the time when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial assets are de-recognised when the Company loses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets. Financial liabilities are de-recognised at the time when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
2.26. Off-setting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are set off and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the Company has a legal right to set off the transaction and also intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.27. Fair value.

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which has substantially similar characteristics; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
2.28. Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in Pak Rupee is rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.
2.29. Related party transactions

Related party transactions are carried out on commercial terms, as approved by the Board, substantiated in the manner given in note 39 to the financial statements.
2.30. Impairment

The carrying amount of the Company's assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In the absence of any information about the fair value, the recoverable amount is determined to be the value in use. Impairment losses are recognised as expense in the profit and loss account.
2.31. Dividends and appropriation to reserves

Dividends and appropriation to reserves are recognised in the financial statements in the period in which these are approved. However, if these are approved after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, then they are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
2.32. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates and judgments which are significant to the financial statements:
3.1. Estimation of proven oil and natural gas reserves

Oil and gas reserves are an important element in testing for impairment of prospecting and development assets of the Company. Changes in oil and gas reserves will also affect the rate of amortisation which is charged on unit of production method, which is a ratio of oil and gas production in a year to the estimated quantities of commercial reserves at the end of the year plus the production during the year. Estimates of oil and gas reserves require the application of judgment and are subject to future revision.

Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under the existing conditions. Proved reserves are estimates with reference to available reservoir and well information, including production and pressure trends for producing reservoirs.

All proved reserve estimates are subject to revision, either upward or downward, based on new information, such as from development drilling and production activities or from changes in economic factors. Although, the possibility exists for changes in reserves to have a critical effect on amortisation charge, however, it is expected that in the normal course of business the probability of occurrence of such an event is remote.
3.2. Provision and amortisation of decommissioning obligation

Provision is recognised for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas wells, production facilities and pipelines at the end of their economic lives. The estimated cost is charged to income over the life of the proved reserves on a unit of production basis.

The timing of recognition requires the application of judgment to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Estimates of the amount of provision recognised are based on current legal and constructive obligations, technology and price levels. Provision is based on the best estimates, however, the actual outflows may differ from estimated cash outflows due to changes in laws, regulations, technology, prices and conditions, and the fact that actual expenditure will take place many years in the future. The carrying amount of provision is regularly reviewed and adjusted to take account of such changes.

During the year, the Company revised its estimates of outflows or resources to settle decommissioning liability, based on future projected costs adjusted to present value. This has been treated as a change in accounting estimate, applied prospectively, in accordance with IFRIC Interpretation 1 - Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities. Had there been no change in the estimates, provision for decommissioning obligation and property, plant and equipment would have been lower by Rs 902 million.
3.3. Provision for defined benefit plans and compensated absences

Defined benefit plans and compensated absences are provided for permanent employees of the Company. The plans are structured as separate legal entities managed by trustees, however, for post retirement medical benefits and compensated absences liability is recognised in the Company's financial statements. These benefits are evaluated with reference to uncertain events and are based upon actuarial assumptions including inter alia, discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, expected rates of salary increases, medical cost rates and mortality rates.

The actuarial valuations are conducted by independent actuaries on annual basis. Pension and gratuity costs primarily represent the increase in actuarial present value of the obligation for benefits earned on employee service during the year and the interest on the obligation in respect of employee service in previous years, net of the expected return on plan assets. Calculations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions.
3.4. Provision for taxation

The provision for taxation is accounted for by the Company after taking into account the current income tax law and decisions taken by appellate authorities. Instances, where the Company's view differs from the view taken by the income tax department at the assessment stage and where the Company considers that its view on items of material nature is in accordance with law, the amounts are shown as contingent liabilities / assets.
3.5. Contingencies

The assessment of the contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment as the outcome of the future events cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company, based on the availability of the latest information, estimates the value of contingent assets and liabilities which may differ on the occurrence / non-occurrence of the uncertain future event(s).

18.1. Issued, subscribed and paid-up capital

During June 2002, a rights issue of 653,170,040 ordinary shares of Rs 10 each was made to the existing shareholders, irrespective of the class. Out of the above, 189,547 (2009: 189,547) shares remained unsubscribed.

In July 2004, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) disinvested its shareholding, equivalent to 15% of the paid-up share capital (i.e. 102,875,500 ordinary shares) of the Company through an Initial Public Offering.

The Government of Pakistan introduced BESOS on August 14, 2009. Under the arrangement, 12% shares (78,070,120 shares) from Government's holding were transferred to PPL Employees Empowerment Trust established on September 14, 2009 under a Trust Deed. Under the scheme, shares were given to the permanent employees on PPL's payroll as on August 14, 2009, through unit certificates. The employees are entitled to 50% dividends and the remaining 50% dividends are transferred to the Central Revolving Fund of the Privatisation Commission (PC).

However, on fulfillment of vesting conditions, the employees will be entitled to payments from the Fund, equal to average quoted value of shares of immediately preceding month at Karachi Stock Exchange and the shares will be transferred back to the President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan upon receipt of the return value from the PC. In this connection reference should also be made to note 2.5 to the financial statement.

Currently, the GoP holds 69.77% (2009: 78.40%) of the paid-up ordinary share capital.
18.2. Convertible preference shares

In accordance with article 3(iv) of the Company's Articles of Association, shareholders holding convertible preference shares have the right to convert all or any of their convertible preference shares into ordinary shares on the basis of one ordinary share for each convertible preference share converted, such conversion to take place upon the expiry of six months following service of written notice upon the Company Secretary by the holders of such convertible preference shares to that effect. During the year one (2009: seven) shareholder(s) holding 250 (2009: 340) convertible preference shares exercised their option to convert those shares into ordinary shares.

The convertible preference shares have right to a dividend ranking pari passu with the level of dividend payable to the holders of ordinary shares subject, however, to a maximum rate of thirty percent per annum of the value of the total number of such convertible preference shares held. The convertible preference shares issued by the Company do not carry any fixed return and are convertible into ordinary shares. The Company is of the view that their characteristics are that of an equity instrument rather than a liability instrument and accordingly, these are treated to be as such.
18.3. During the year the Company issued 20% bonus shares (165,969,285 shares) to the ordinary share holders (i.e. two ordinary shares for every ten ordinary shares held).

19.1. Capital reserve

The amount of Rs 1.428 million represents consideration for the surrender of the right of the Mari North Mining Lease. In accordance with the transfer agreement with the GoP, the foregoing consideration has to be carried forward as capital reserve and cannot be distributed.
19.2. General and contingency reserve

The balance in general and contingency reserve account is constant since December 31, 1981.

The reserve was built through appropriation from the available profit after taxation on a yearly basis to cater for unforeseen requirements. As at December 31, 1981, the balance available in the profit and loss account after appropriation of dividend for the year was transferred to the general and contingency reserve upon the coming into effect of the Sui Gas Well-head Price Agreement, 1982 (1982 GPA) which required inclusion of this reserve as a part of the shareholders' funds for qualifying for return under the 1982 GPA (now dismantled). Since then, this balance has remained constant.
19.3. Insurance reserve

Due to difficulty in obtaining insurance policy for terrorism, sabotage and civil commotion at reasonable premiums and deductibles, the Company has built-up an insurance reserve for self insurance cover against these risks and plans to build up this reserve in future years.

However, during the year the Company has arranged terrorism cover from the international market upto the limit of liability of US$ 100 million (Rs 8,540 million) for single occurrence as well as annual aggregate. Due to the limited cover available, the Company will continue to build-up this reserve.

During the current year, the Company has transferred cost relating to fire incident at well-38 of Sui Gas Field amounting to Rs 1,478.106 million from the insurance reserve to unappropriated profit.

The Board of Directors at their meeting held on August 06, 2010 has approved to transfer Rs 5,500 million (2009: Rs 5,500 million) from unappropriated profit to the insurance reserve.
19.4. Assets acquisition reserve

In view of the declining hydrocarbon reserves profile of the Company, it is intended to acquire sizeable producing reserves for which a separate assets acquisition reserve has been established and the Company plans to build up this reserve in future years.

The Board of Directors at their meeting held on August 06, 2010 has approved to transfer Rs 5,000 million (2009: Rs 5,000 million) from unappropriated profit to the assets acquisition reserve.

25.1.2. Pursuant to the directives of the Price Determining Authority, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources, the Company is not taking credit for interest income receivable from WAPDA and no provision is being made for the interest payable to GoP on late payment of gas development surcharge.
25.1.3.The Company had filed appeal before the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) against the order of the Large Taxpayers Unit (LTU), which required the Company to pay sales tax on LPG sales made from Adhi during the period from August, 1999 to April, 2004. However, in order to avail benefits under the amnesty scheme notified through S.R.O. 247(I)/2004 dated May 5, 2004, the Company paid and charged to profit and loss account for the year ended June 30, 2004 sales tax and additional tax amounting to Rs 77.548 million and Rs 12.426 million, respectively, on sales of LPG made during the period from August, 1999 to April, 2004.

The ATIR subsequently decided the appeal in favour of the Company and directed the LTU to refund the aforesaid amount subject to verification that the customers of LPG had fully paid the amount of sales tax. Accordingly, the LTU has partially verified the payment of sales tax and has refunded an amount of Rs 8.499 million (2009: Rs 23.858 million) during the current year, which has been included in other operating income. The Company had also filed an appeal in the Sindh High Court (SHC). Pursuant to an amendment in the law, the case was transferred to the ATIR on the advice of SHC, which in its order dated February 23, 2010 declared the original show cause notice as "illegal and ab-initio void and not sustainable in the eyes of law". Accordingly, the Company is pursuing for refund of balance amount of Rs 57.617 million.
25.1.4. The Workers' Welfare Fund Ordinance (WWFO), 1971 is applicable on all the industrial establishments except for those establishments which are owned by the Government of Pakistan (GoP). The management, based on advice of its lawyer, is confident that since majority of the shareholding of the Company is held by the GoP, therefore, WWFO does not apply to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has not made the payments to Workers' Welfare Fund (WWF), effective from July 01, 2002.

The Company had filed rectification application for refund of WWF paid for the years ended June 30, 1998 to June 30, 2002 on the above grounds, which were rejected by the income tax department. On the appeals filed by the Company against the tax department, the ATIR decided the issue against the Company. In view of the Order of the ATIR, the Company filed reference applications before the SHC. The SHC, vide its order dated December 19, 2008 had decided the reference applications in favour of the Company. To give effect to the SHC decision, ATIR vide order dated October 10, 2009 has directed the tax department to give effect to SHC order for the years 1998 to 2002. The taxation authorities have filed appeals before the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) against the orders of the SHC.

The Taxation Officer had issued amended assessment orders for tax years 2003 to 2007. The Company had filed appeals before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) {CIR(A)} against the orders of Taxation Officer and obtained stay against the demand of WWF from the SHC. The CIR(A) vide Order dated July 17, 2008 had decided the appeals for the tax years 2003 to 2006 in favour of the Company on technical grounds. However, on the merits of the case, CIR(A) had decided the appeals against the Company. Accordingly, the Company and the tax authorities had filed appeals before the ATIR against the order of the CIR(A). ATIR has decided the case in favour of the Company vide its order dated October 28, 2009, against which the Tax Department has filed an appeal before SHC.

In respect of tax year 2007, CIR(A) had upheld the decision of the Taxation Officer. The Company had filed appeal before the ATIR against the order of the CIR(A), which was decided against the Company. Accordingly, the Company had filed reference application before the SHC. The SHC vide its order dated February 03, 2009 had decided the appeal in favour of the Company. The Tax authorities have filed appeal before the SCP against the order of the SHC.

During the current year, the tax department has amended the assessment orders for the tax years 2008 and 2009, and has raised the WWF demands for Rs 1,293 million. The Company has filed appeals before the CIR(A) against the amended assessment orders, which are pending for hearing. The Company had also filed appeals for the stay of demand with the SHC, which has been granted upto SHC level.

The Company, as a matter of prudence, has been providing for WWF in the books of accounts. Accordingly, an amount of Rs 704.657 million (2009: Rs 856.106 million) has been provided. In case the matter is decided in favour of the Company, an amount of Rs 3,401.385 million will be credited in profit and loss account for that year.
25.1.5. The Company had revised the tax rates of certain producing fields in line with the provisions of PCAs and prevailing industry practices and filed its tax returns for the tax years 2006 to 2009 on the same basis. The Company had also revised its tax returns for the tax years 2003 to 2005 resulting in tax refundable amounting to Rs 383.146 million.

The tax authorities have issued Assessment Orders for tax years 2003 to 2009, thereby, disputing the calculation of depletion allowance, allowability of provision for decommissioning cost and calculation of tax liability at lower tax rates of 50% for certain fields. The Company has filed appeals before the CIR(A) against the aforesaid orders which are pending for adjudication. The Company has obtained stay of demand from the SHC on lump sum payment of Rs 1,118 million.

On the basis of the appeals filed with CIR(A) the Company has been claiming decommissioning cost against the taxable income, upto tax year 2009. However, the Finance Act 2010 has introduced an amendment in the Fifth Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, whereby, the decommissioning cost is an allowable expense from tax year 2010, over a period of 10 years or the remaining life of the field, whichever is less, starting from the year of commencement of commercial production. Accordingly, the Company has provided for the tax expense, relating to the decommissioning cost issue for the tax years 2003 to 2009, amounting to Rs 426 million during the current year.

The Company, based on the advice of its legal counsel, is confident that it has good grounds to defend the appeals on the issues of depletion allowance and tax rates. The Company, as a matter of prudence, continues to provide tax liability at the higher tax rates in the books of accounts, however, no provision has been created in respect of tax liability for depletion allowance aggregating to Rs 1,512 million. In case the appeals are decided in favour of the Company, an amount of Rs 1,527 million will be credited in the profit and loss account for that year. However, if the appeals are decided against the Company, an amount of Rs 1,512 million will be charged in the profit and loss account for that year.

34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effect of market risks relating to interest rates, foreign currency and commodity price, credit risk and liquidity risk associated with various financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities approximate to their fair values except for held-to-maturity investments which are stated at amortised cost.
a) Market risks

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rate, foreign currency, commodity price and equity price that will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
Interest rate risk management

The Company's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no significant long term interest bearing financial assets and liabilities whose fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments carried at fair value are categorised as follows:

Level 1: quoted market prices

Level 2: Valuation techniques (market observable)

Level 3: Valuation techniques (non-market observable)
The Company held the following financial instruments measured at fair value:

Foreign currency risk management

Financial assets include Rs 4,000.384 million (2009: Rs 3,487.276 million) and financial liabilities include Rs 1,439.426 million (2009: Rs 2,245.238 million) which were subject to foreign currency risk. The US dollar deposits also serve as a synthetic hedge against the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk resulting from outstanding payments for imports.

A one rupee change in the exchange rate of foreign currencies would have the following effect:

===========================================================================================
Commodity price risk management

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on sale of petroleum products, as the selling prices are determined in relation to the international prices of petroleum products which can adversely affect the profitability of the Company. However, the Company has limited exposure to the price risk, as the prices of the Company's major product i.e. natural gas are determined under various Gas Price Agreements signed with the GoP, wherein, the Company is only allowed notional increment in gas price if the international crude oil price is above US$ 36 per barrel. The Company is of the view that the price risk is within acceptable limits, therefore, the Company has not entered in any commodity derivative transactions.
b) Credit risk management

(i) Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter parties failed completely to perform as contracted. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debts, investments in TFCs and mutual funds and balances at banks. The credit risk on investments and liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are financial institutions with reasonably high credit ratings. However, the Company monitors its investments in TFCs and mutual funds and placements with banks in order to control credit risk. The Company has maintained lines and limits with banks for effective monitoring of credit risk.

The Company's major portion of sales is to WAPDA, SNGPL and SSGCL. However, it does not consider itself to be exposed to any substantial credit risk as these companies are state controlled entities.
(ii) Credit quality of financial assets

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

c) Capital risk management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to remain as a going concern and continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.
d) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk reflects an enterprise's inability in raising funds to meet commitments. The Company follows effective cash management and planning policy to ensure availability of funds and to take appropriate measures for new requirements.
