53 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group's financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates
that underlie the preparation of the financial statements. The Group bases the assumptions and estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable and which form the basis for making
judgements about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its
estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates as facts, circumstances and conditions change.
The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgements and other uncertainties affecting application of those
policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when
reviewing the financial statements. The significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 3. The Group believes the
following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the
financial statements.
53 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)
(a) Oil and gas properties and reserves
The accounting for the exploration and production segment's oil and gas activities is subject to accounting rules that are
unique to the oil and gas industry. The Group has used the successful efforts method to account for oil and gas business
activities. The successful efforts method reflects the volatility that is inherent in exploring for mineral resources in
that costs of unsuccessful exploratory efforts are charged to expense. These costs primarily include dry hole costs,
seismic costs and other exploratory costs.
Engineering estimates of the Group's oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts
because of the subjective judgements involved in developing such information. There are authoritative guidelines regarding
the engineering criteria that have to be met before estimated oil and gas reserves can be designated as "proved". Proved
and proved developed reserves estimates are updated at least annually and take into account recent production and technical
information about each field. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved and
proved developed reserves also changes. This change is considered a change in estimate for accounting purposes and is
reflected on a prospective basis in related depreciation rates. Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on the assessment
of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil and gas properties reported in the financial statements. If proved
reserves estimates are revised downwards, earnings could be affected by changes in depreciation expense or an immediate
write-down of the property's carrying amount.
Future dismantlement costs for oil and gas properties are estimated with reference to engineering estimates after taking
into consideration the anticipated method of dismantlement required in accordance with industry practices in the similar
geographic area, including estimation of economic life of oil and gas properties, technology and price level. The present
values of these estimated future dismantlement costs are capitalised as oil and gas properties with equivalent amounts
recognised as provisions for dismantlement costs.
Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, these estimates are used in determining depreciation
expense, impairment expense and future dismantlement costs. Capitalised costs of proved oil and gas properties are
amortised on a unit-of-production method based on volumes produced and reserves.
(b) Impairment for assets
If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered
"impaired", and an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with "ASBE 8 - Impairment of Assets". The carrying
amounts of long-lived assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined
below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is
reduced to recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. The recoverable amount is the
greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of expected future cash flows. It is difficult to
precisely estimate the fair value because quoted market prices for the Group's assets or cash-generating units are not
readily available. In determining the value of expected future cash flows, expected cash flows generated by the asset or
the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgement relating to sales
volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Group uses all readily available information in determining an
amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable
assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs.
(c) Depreciation
Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into
account the estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets at least annually in
order to determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives are
based on the Group's historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes.
The depreciation expense for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
(d) Allowances for doubtful accounts
Management estimates impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts resulting from the inability of the Group's customers to
make the required payments. Management bases the estimates on the ageing of the accounts receivable balance, customer
credit-worthiness, and historical write-off experience. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate,
actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
(e) Allowance for diminution in value of inventories
If the costs of inventories become higher than their net realisable values, an allowance for diminution in value of
inventories is recognised. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Management bases the estimates
on all available information, including the current market prices of the finished goods and raw materials, and historical
operating costs. If the actual selling prices were to be lower or the costs of completion were to be higher than estimated,
the actual allowance for diminution in value of inventories would be higher than estimated.
