[1] For fiscal year 2012, the Company assumed no accretion in value of proved oil reserves in the US and Australia. Accretion, with respect to measuring the changes in the standardized measure of reserves values, represents the value benefit of being closer in time, relative to the prior fiscal year's standardized measure, to future cash flows in the reserve projections. During fiscal year 2012, in the US, the Company did not develop its US proved oil reserves in accordance with the reserve plans in place at the beginning of the year, but instead postponed such plans by one year. Therefore, the benefit of accretion of the prior fiscal year's reserves should not have factored into the value of the standardized measure for fiscal year 2012. During fiscal year 2012, in Australia, the reserves at the beginning of the year had been sold entirely during the fiscal year as the long term gas sales contract in place at Palm Valley expired by its term in January 2012. As such, accretion of prior year reserves was not relevant in this case.(2) For fiscal year 2013, in the US, there was a $17,888 downward revision in reserves value due to changes in timing and other. This revision primarily relates to the change, relative to the prior year reserves projections, in the expected timing of drilling and completing PUD wells and the attendant cash flow expected from these wells. During fiscal year 2013, the Company focused its activities at Poplar on executing water shutoff treatments due to their potential attractive economics. As a result, PUDs previously estimated to be drilled during fiscal year 2013 were postponed, resulting in a change in the annual quantity and timing of PUD wells to be drilled in the current reserves projections.
