Basis of Preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial report of GeoPark Limited is presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. It does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual financial statements. For further information please refer to GeoPark Limited's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Committee. This committee is integrated by the CEO, COO, CFO and managers in charge of the Geoscience, Operations, Corporate Governance, Finance and People departments. This committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The committee considers the business from a geographic perspective.
The Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period before net finance cost, income tax, depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration efforts, accrual of share-based payment, unrealized result on commodity risk management contracts and other non recurring events. Operating Netback is equivalent to Adjusted EBITDA before cash expenses included in Administrative, Geological and Geophysical and other operating expenses. Other information provided to the Executive Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

Commodity risk management contracts
During 2016 and 2017, the Group entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price risk. These derivatives were zero-premium collars or zero-premium 3 ways (put spread plus call), and were placed with major financial institutions and commodity traders. The Group entered into the derivatives under ISDA Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes, which provide credit lines for collateral posting thus alleviating possible liquidity needs under the instruments and protect the Group from potential non-performance risk by its counterparties. The Group’s derivatives are accounted for as non-hedge derivatives as of 30 September 2017 and therefore all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts are recognized as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur.
The following table presents the Group’s derivative contracts in force as of 30 September 2017:

Borrowings (Continued)
(a) During September 2017, the Company successfully placed US$ 425 million notes which were offered to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the United States Securities Act.
The Notes carry a coupon of 6.50% per annum. Final maturity of the notes will be 21 September 2024. The Notes are secured with a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company, directly or indirectly, in GeoPark Colombia Coöperatie U.A. and GeoPark Chile S.A.. The indenture governing our Notes due 2024 includes incurrence test covenants that provides among other things, that, during the first two years from the issuance date, the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not exceed 3.5 times and the Adjusted EBITDA to Interest ratio should exceed 2 times. Failure to comply with the incurrence test covenants does not trigger an event of default. However, this situation may limit the Company’s capacity to incur additional indebtedness, as specified in the indenture governing the Notes. Incurrence covenants as opposed to maintenance covenants must be tested by the Company before incurring additional debt or performing certain corporate actions including but not limited to dividend payments, restricted payments and others, (other than in each case, certain specific exceptions). As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is in compliance of all the indenture’s provisions and covenants.
The net proceeds from the Notes were used by the Company (i) to make a capital contribution to its wholly-owned subsidiary, GeoPark Latin America Limited Agencia en Chile (“GeoPark LA Agencia”), providing it with sufficient funds to fully repay the 7.50% senior secured notes due 2020 and to pay any related fees and expenses, including call premium, and (ii) for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and to repay existing indebtedness.
(b) During February 2013, the Company successfully placed US$ 300 million notes which were offered under Rule 144A and Regulation S exemptions of the United States Securities laws. The Notes carried a coupon of 7.50% per annum and mature on 11 February 2020. These Notes were fully repaid in September 2017.
(c) During March 2014, GeoPark executed a loan agreement with Itaú BBA International for US$ 70,450,000 to finance the acquisition of a 10% working interest in the Manatí field in Brazil. In March 2016 and 2017 and September 2016 and 2017, the Company paid US$ 10,000,000 corresponding to principal payments under the principal amortization schedule. The loan was fully repaid in September 2017.
(d)During December 2015, GeoPark executed a loan agreement with Banco de Chile for US$ 7,028,000 to finance the start-up of new Ache gas field in GeoPark-operated Fell Block. The interest rate applicable to this loan is LIBOR plus 2.35% per annum. The interest and the principal will be paid on monthly basis; with a six months grace period, with final maturity on December 2017.

Note 16
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Accounting policies for financial instruments have been applied to classify as either: loans and receivables, held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or fair value through profit and loss. For financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value, IFRS 13 requires a disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

Fair value measurement of financial instruments (Continued)
This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.
(a) Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016 on a recurring basis:
Amounts in US$ '000 | Level 2 | At 30 September 2017 |
Assets | ||
Derivative financial instrument assets | ||
Commodity risk management contracts | 9 | 9 |
Total Assets | 9 | 9 |
Liabilities | ||
Derivative financial instrument liabilities | ||
Commodity risk management contracts | 3,764 | 3,764 |
Total Liabilities | 3,764 | 3,764 |
Amounts in US$ '000 | Level 2 | Year ended 31 December 2016 |
Liabilities | ||
Derivative financial instrument liabilities | ||
Commodity risk management contracts | 3,067 | 3,067 |
Total Liabilities | 3,067 | 3,067 |
There were no transfers between Level 2 and 3 during the period.
The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at 30 September 2017.
(b) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
· | The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. |
· | The market-to-market fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments is based on independently provided market rates and determined using standard valuation techniques, including the impact of counterparty credit risk and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
· | The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2. |

Fair value measurement of financial instruments (Continued)
(c) Fair values of other financial instruments (unrecognised)
The Group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature.
Borrowings are comprised primarily of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt with a short term portion where interest has already been fixed. They are classified under other financial liabilities and measured at their amortized cost. The Group estimates that the fair value of its main financial liabilities is approximately 99.7% of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of 30 September 2017. Fair values were calculated using discounted cash flow analysis.
