Analysis of Changes in Proved Reserves
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's estimated proved oil and gas reserve quantities. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

(1) For fiscal year 2013, in the US, there was a $17.9 million 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 shut-off 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.
(2) For fiscal year 2014, in the US there was a $10.2 million downward revision in reserves value due to the net change in prices and production costs. This change was the result of increased production cost estimates that more than offset impact of the increase in the assumed price per barrel of oil between fiscal year 2013 and 2014. The Company revised its estimated future production costs upwards following a detailed bottom-up analysis of historical and projected production costs undertaken during fiscal year 2014.
(3) This revision is related to our PUDs and is discussed in greater detail above under the heading "Analysis of Changes in Proved Reserves."
