Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(tabular amounts in millions of US dollars, except as noted)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Talisman Energy Inc. ("Talisman" or "the Company") is a company incorporated pursuant to the laws of Canada and domiciled in Alberta, Canada. Talisman’s common shares are wholly owned by a subsidiary of Repsol S.A (“Repsol”). Talisman continues to be a reporting issuer in each of the jurisdictions of Canada. Its registered office is located at Suite 2000, 888 – 3rd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 5C5.
The Company is in the business of exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
The interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 were approved by the Audit Committee on July 27, 2015.
Repsol Acquisition of Talisman
On May 8, 2015, the acquisition of Talisman by Repsol, by the way of an arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act, was completed. Repsol acquired all of the Company’s outstanding common and preferred shares. Upon the completion of the arrangement, the common shares were delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, and the preferred shares were delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and converted into common shares on a 1:1 basis (note 16).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Certain information and disclosures required to be included in notes to annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as issued by the IASB, have been condensed or omitted.
The interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements of Talisman as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the notes thereto.
These interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through the condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Accounting Policies Used
The interim condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for adoption of the following new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2015:
Employee Benefits
| · | IAS 19 Employee Benefits - Amendments to IAS 19. The amended standard clarified the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, in that contributions can be, but are not required to be recognized as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. Application of the amended standard does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as it reflects current accounting policy of the Company. |
Operating Segments
| · | IFRS 8 Operating Segments - Amendments to IFRS 8. The amended standard requires (i) disclosure of judgments made by management in aggregating segments, and (ii) a reconciliation of segmented assets to the Company’s assets when segment assets are reported. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The amendment does not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or performance. |
Share-based Payments
| · | IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments - Amendments to IFRS 2. The standard amends the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and adds definitions for “performance condition” and “service condition”. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The amendment does not have an impact on the Company as it reflects current accounting policy of the Company. |
Fair Value Measurement
| · | IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - Amendments to IFRS 13. The amended standard clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts if the effect of discounting is immaterial. It also clarifies that the portfolio exception can be applied not only to financial assets and liabilities, but also to other contracts within scope of IAS 39 and IFRS 9. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The application does not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
Related Parties
| · | IAS 24 Related Parties - Amendments to IAS 24. The amended standard (i) revises the definition of related party to include an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or its parent, and (ii) clarifies related disclosure requirements. The amendment does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, as there is no entity performing key management services for the Company. |
b) Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company continues to assess the impact of adopting the pronouncements from the IASB as described below:
Financial Instruments
| · | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. IFRS 9 (July 2014) replaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 that had not yet been adopted by the Company and supersedes IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new models for classification and measurement of financial instruments, hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets and is mandatorily effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company continues to review the standard as it is updated and monitor its impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
| · | IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS 15 specifies that revenue should be recognized when an entity transfers control of goods or services at the amount the entity expects to be entitled to as well as requiring entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and a number of revenue-related interpretations. IFRS 15 will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. In an exposure draft in May 2015, the effective date of IFRS 15 was proposed to be deferred to January 1, 2018. Application of the standard is mandatory and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the standard on the Company’s financial statements. |

The summarized financial information presented is the amounts included in the financial statements of the joint venture entities adjusted for fair value adjustments made at the time of acquisition of the joint venture, as appropriate. The fair value adjustments related to the Company's jointly controlled equity interest in Equion principally relate to property, plant and equipment, provisions and the related indemnification asset and goodwill. In addition, the financial statements of TSEUK have been adjusted with respect to asset impairments, decommissioning liabilities and provisions.
TSEUK Joint Venture
As at June 30, 2015, the investment balance in the TSEUK joint venture was negative $145 million. The obligation to fund TSEUK, in proportion of its shareholding, arises from the Company’s past practice of funding TSEUK’s cash flow deficiencies, and the expectation that cash flow deficiencies will continue to be funded through 2015. In addition, the Company, in proportion of its shareholding, has provided certain guarantees to fund TSEUK’s decommissioning obligation if TSEUK is unable to (note 17), and the shareholders of TSEUK have provided equity funding facilities to TSEUK which include funding decommissioning liabilities. As such, the Company has recognized a negative investment value from the application of equity accounting. The Company’s obligation to fund TSEUK will increase to the extent future losses are generated within TSEUK. In addition, future contributions to the TSEUK joint venture could be impaired to the extent recoverability is not probable.
In June 2014, the shareholders of TSEUK provided an equity funding facility totaling $1.2 billion to TSEUK, of which Talisman was committed to $612 million, for the purpose of funding capital, decommissioning and operating expenditures of TSEUK. In March 2015, the maximum available amount was increased to $1.5 billion. This facility expired on June 30, 2015. During the period from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the shareholders of TSEUK agreed to subscribe for common shares of TSEUK in the amount of $625 million under this facility, of which Talisman’s share was $319 million.

This facility is effective from July 1, 2015 and expires on December 31, 2016.
The shareholders of TSEUK have provided an unsecured loan facility totaling $2.4 billion to TSEUK, of which Talisman is committed to $1.2 billion, for the purpose of funding capital expenditures of TSEUK. In January 2015, an agreement was reached by the shareholders of TSEUK, in which the quarterly principal and interest payments of the facility were deferred until July 31, 2015. As at June 30, 2015, $1.0 billion has been drawn under this facility, of which Talisman’s share is $514 million (December 31, 2014 - $514 million).
Loans under this facility bear interest at the UK interest rate swap rate plus 2.5%, and are repayable quarterly in equal installments based upon a five year repayment period calculated from the date each loan is advanced. All outstanding loans mature December 31, 2017, although the maturity date may be extended from time to time upon agreement between the shareholders and TSEUK. Prior to the maturity date, TSEUK may repay, in full or in part, the balance outstanding on any loan under this facility. Remaining borrowing capacity under this facility:

TSEUK is required to provide demand letters of credit as security in relation to certain decommissioning obligations in the UK pursuant to contractual arrangements under Decommissioning Security Agreements (DSAs). Refer to “Liquidity Risk” in note 17.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the UK government announced that effective January 1, 2015 the rate of supplementary charge on ring fence profits decreased from 32% to 20%. Consequently, there is now a combined UK corporation tax and supplementary charge rate of 50% (down from 62%) for oil and gas companies with fields not subject to Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT). The UK government also announced that the PRT rate will decrease from 50% to 35%, effective for years ending after December 31, 2015. As a result of this legislative change, TSEUK recorded a recovery of deferred PRT of $98 million ($50 million net to Talisman).
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, an impairment expense of $260 million, of which Talisman’s share was $133 million, was recorded in TSEUK as a result of Talisman’s adoption of Repsol’s credit-adjusted discount rate in measuring decommissioning obligations.
Equion Joint Venture
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Equion declared dividends payable to the shareholders in the amount of $570 million, of which Talisman’s share was $279 million. The Company has recorded a reduction in the equity investment in Equion. The dividends were settled through reduction of the loan due to Equion as described below.
The loan due to Equion of $74 million (December 31, 2014 - $15 million) is unsecured, due upon demand and bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.30%.
There have been no significant changes in expected future commitments of TSEUK and Equion, and the timing of those payments, since December 31, 2014.

9. YME REMOVAL OBLIGATION
In March 2013, Talisman, acting on behalf of its partners in the Yme field in Norway, entered into an agreement with the platform contractor. This agreement terminated all existing Yme contracts and outstanding disputes between the Yme partners and the platform contractor, set out the provisions regarding the removal of the existing above-surface Yme structure, the delivery of the existing above-surface Yme structure to the platform contractor (which Talisman, acting on behalf of the Yme partners, will complete as the “Talisman Works”) and provided for a payment of $470 million from the platform contractor to the Yme partners to fund the cost of the Talisman Works. The Yme partners agreed to deposit $409 million into an escrow account, which can only be withdrawn for purposes of settling costs and liabilities associated with the Talisman Works.
Balances of restricted cash and Yme removal obligation as at June 30, 2015 were reclassified to assets and liabilities held for sale as a result of Talisman’s expected sale of substantially all of its operating assets and liabilities of the Norwegian operations to Repsol. As at June 30, 2015, Talisman’s share of the liability associated with the Talisman Works in the amount of $128 million (December 31, 2014 - $186 million) has been recorded as the Yme removal obligation. Talisman’s share of the cash held in the escrow account in the amount of $91 million (December 31, 2014 - $149 million) has been recorded as restricted cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, $20 million and $58 million (2014 - $13 million and $29 million) respectively in eligible expenditures were incurred on the Talisman Works which reduced the Yme removal obligation and the restricted cash balance by an equal amount.

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company by Repsol, Repsol has completed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for purposes of its accounting subsequent to the acquisition date. As part of the purchase price allocation, Repsol estimated fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Based on this preliminary assessment, certain of the Company’s assets could be impaired or subject to impairment reversals in future periods. Management has not recorded these potential impairments or reversals in the June 30, 2015 financial statements as the estimates are considered preliminary and subject to further review. The magnitude of any impairments or reversals to be recorded in future periods will be determined as the purchase price allocation is finalized. This is expected to occur later in 2015.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment reversal of $32 million in North America, due to the estimated recoverable amount of assets held for sale exceeding their carrying amounts.

As a result of Repsol’s acquisition of Talisman in May 2015, Talisman has adopted Repsol’s credit-adjusted rate to discount its decommissioning liabilities as at June 30, 2015. The provision has been discounted using a weighted average credit-adjusted rate of 2.0% at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – 3.5%), which excludes the impact of inflation. As a result, Talisman’s decommissioning liabilities including discontinued operations increased by $314 million.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Talisman’s financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2015 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, available-for-sale investments, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans from joint ventures, loans from related parties, long-term debt (including the current portion) and risk management assets and liabilities arising from the use of derivative financial instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans from joint ventures approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of those instruments.
Borrowings under bank credit facilities are short-term in nature and are market rate-based, thus, carrying value approximates fair value. The fair value of public debentures and notes is based on market quotations, which reflect the discounted present value of the principal and interest payments using the effective yield for instruments having the same term and risk characteristics. The fair values of private notes are based on estimations provided by third parties. The fair value of Talisman’s floating rate debt is determined by discounting future estimated coupon payments at the current market interest rate. The fair value of Talisman’s long-term debt (including the current portion) at June 30, 2015 was $4.9 billion (December 31, 2014 - $5.3 billion), while the carrying value was $4.8 billion (December 31, 2014 - $5.1 billion). The Company uses Level 2 inputs as described below to estimate the fair value of the outstanding long-term debt as at June 30, 2015.
The fair values of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values.
Risk management assets and liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values. To estimate fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices when available, or models that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the Company incorporates transaction-specific details that market participants would utilize in a fair value measurement, including the impact of non-performance risk. The Company’s non-performance risk is determined based on third party quotes for the Company’s debt instruments with maturity dates that are similar, or in close approximation, to the maturity dates of the corresponding financial instrument. The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| · | Level 1 – inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (for example, exchange-traded commodity derivatives). Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis; |
| · | Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the marketplace. The Company obtains information from sources such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and independent price publications; and |
| · | Level 3 – inputs that are less observable, unavailable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instrument’s fair value, such as the Company’s internally developed assumptions about market participant assumptions used in pricing an asset or liability, for example, an estimate of future cash flows used in the Company’s internally developed present value of future cash flows model that underlies the fair value measurement. |
In forming estimates, the Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation of over-the-counter financial swaps and collars is based on similar transactions observable in active markets or industry standard models that rely primarily on market observable inputs. Substantially all of the assumptions for industry standard models are observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instrument. These are categorized as Level 2.
Fair values for derivative instruments are determined based on the estimated cash payment or receipt necessary to settle the contract. Fair values for commodity price derivatives are based on discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates and prices and option pricing models using forward pricing curves and implied volatility, as appropriate, which are compared to quotes received from financial institutions for reasonability. Fair values for interest rate instruments are based on discounted cash flow analysis using current market rates and prices.
Risk Management Assets, Liabilities, Gains and Losses
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $817 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, for settlement of its oil and gas derivative contracts, which included proceeds related to the liquidation of outstanding instruments. As at June 30, 2015, there was less than $1 million of risk management liability associated with the Company’s outstanding fixed price power swaps, which were measured using Level 2 inputs.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss on held-for-trading financial instruments of $131 million (2014 - $171 million loss) and a gain of $62 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (2014 - $231 million loss).
Currency Risk
Talisman operates internationally and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. Talisman’s primary exposure is from fluctuations in the US$ relative to the C$, UK£, and NOK.
Talisman manages its foreign exchange exposure in a number of ways. By denominating most of its borrowings in US$, the Company is able to reduce some of its economic exposure to currency fluctuations. Talisman also manages its translation exposure by generally matching internal borrowings with its subsidiaries’ functional currencies. The Company purchases foreign currencies, mostly at spot value, to meet its current foreign currency obligations as they come due.
In respect of financial instruments existing at June 30, 2015, a 1% strengthening of the US$ against the other currencies noted above, with all other variables assumed constant, would have resulted in a decrease of $3 million in net loss and a $3 million impact on comprehensive loss during the three month period ended June 30, 2015. A similar weakening of the US$ would have had the opposite impact.
Interest Rate Risk
Talisman is exposed to interest rate risk principally by virtue of its borrowings including loans from joint ventures. Borrowing at floating rates exposes Talisman to short-term movements in interest rates. Borrowing at fixed rates exposes Talisman to reset risk (i.e. at debt maturity). Risk management activities aim to manage the mix of fixed-to-floating debt to best manage the trade-off between longer term interest rate reset risk and shorter term volatility in interest rates.
In order to mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes, Talisman enters into interest rate swaps from time to time to manage the ratio of fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. The Company had fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts with a total notional amount of $300 million outstanding at the beginning of the three month period ended June 30, 2015. These contracts expired on May 15, 2015. The Company did not enter any new interest rate swap contracts during the rest of the quarter.
Credit Risk
A significant proportion of Talisman’s accounts receivable balance is with customers in the oil and gas industry and is subject to normal industry credit risks. At June 30, 2015, approximately 84% of the Company's trade accounts receivable was aged less than 90 days and the largest single counterparty exposure, accounting for 7% of the total, was with a highly rated counterparty. Concentration of counterparty credit risk is managed by having a broad domestic and international customer base primarily of highly rated counterparties.
Liquidity Risk
Talisman is exposed to liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Company may be unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash to meet its commitments as they come due. Talisman mitigates this risk through its management of cash, debt, committed credit capacity and its capital program.
Talisman manages its liquidity requirements by use of both short-term and long-term cash forecasts, and by maintaining appropriate undrawn capacity under committed bank and related party credit facilities. The Company has in place committed bank facilities totaling $3.2 billion, all of which are committed through 2019. At June 30, 2015, there were no drawings in the form of bankers’ acceptance or commercial paper, and there was $85 million in letters of credit support outstanding. Available borrowing capacity under committed bank facilities was $3.1 billion at June 30, 2015. In addition, the Company also has in place related party facilities from Repsol subsidiaries totaling $1.5 billion, $500 million of which is committed through 2016 with the remainder committed through 2018. At June 30, 2015, $831 million were drawn under these facilities.
In addition, the Company utilizes letters of credit pursuant to letter of credit facilities, most of which are uncommitted. At June 30, 2015, demand letters of credit guaranteed by the Company totaling $1.3 billion were issued, of which $1.2 billion were issued from uncommitted facilities. Of that total, $1.0 billion is provided as security for the costs of decommissioning obligations in the UK, as described below. The remaining outstanding letters of credit relate primarily to a retirement compensation arrangement, guarantees of minimum work commitments and decommissioning obligations in other areas.
TSEUK is required to provide letters of credit as security in relation to certain decommissioning obligations in the UK pursuant to contractual arrangements under Decommissioning Security Agreements (DSAs). At the commencement of the joint venture, Addax Petroleum UK Limited (Addax) assumed 49% of the decommissioning obligations of TSEUK. Addax’s parent company, China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), has provided an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee for this 49% of the UK decommissioning obligations.
The UK government passed legislation in 2013 which provides for a contractual instrument, known as a Decommissioning Relief Deed, for the government to guarantee tax relief on decommissioning costs at 50%, allowing security under DSAs to be posted on an after-tax basis and reducing the value of letters of credit required to be posted by 50%. TSEUK has entered into a Decommissioning Relief Deed with the UK Government and continues to negotiate with counterparties to amend all DSAs accordingly. Tax relief guaranteed by the UK government is limited to corporate tax paid since 2002. Under the limitation, TSEUK’s tax relief is capped at $2.2 billion, representing corporate income taxes paid and recoverable since 2002.
At June 30, 2015, TSEUK has $2.6 billion of demand shared facilities in place under which letters of credit of $1.9 billion have been issued. The Company guarantees 51% of all letters of credit issued under these shared facilities.
The Company has also granted guarantees to various beneficiaries in respect of decommissioning obligations of TSEUK.
At June 30, 2015, Talisman’s share of TSEUK’s total recorded decommissioning liabilities was $2.6 billion. Decommissioning estimates are subject to a significant amount of management judgment given the long dated nature of the assets and the timing of remediation upon cessation of production. The Company reviews its assessment of decommissioning liabilities annually, or where a triggering event causes a review, taking into account new information and industry experience.
Any changes to decommissioning estimates influence the value of letters of credit required to be provided pursuant to DSAs. In addition, the extent to which shared facility capacity is available, and the cost of that capacity, is influenced by the Company’s investment-grade credit rating.
As at June 30, 2015, the investment balance in the TSEUK joint venture was negative $145 million. The obligation to fund TSEUK, in proportion of its shareholding, arises from the Company’s past practice of funding TSEUK’s cash flow deficiencies, and the expectation that cash flow deficiencies will continue to be funded through 2015. In addition, the Company, in proportion of its shareholding, has provided certain guarantees to fund TSEUK’s decommissioning obligation if TSEUK is unable to, and the shareholders of TSEUK have provided equity funding facilities to TSEUK which include funding decommissioning liabilities. As such, the Company has recognized a negative investment value from the application of equity accounting. The Company’s obligation to fund TSEUK will increase to the extent future losses are generated within TSEUK. In addition, future contributions to the TSEUK joint venture could be impaired to the extent recoverability is not probable.
Except for commodity price derivative contracts that mature as noted below, long-term debt that matures as outlined in note 14 and other long-term obligations detailed in note 15, all of the Company’s financial liabilities are due within one year.
Commodity Price Risk
Talisman is exposed to commodity price risk since its revenues are dependent on the price of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. Talisman may enter into derivative instruments from time to time to mitigate commodity price risk volatility under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Company may hedge a portion of its future production to protect cash flows to allow it to meet its strategic objectives.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company liquidated all its contracts related to commodity price risk management. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company has not entered into any new commodity price risk management derivative contracts.
At June 30, 2015, the Company had power commodity price derivative contracts outstanding with fair value of less than $1 million.
18. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Provisions and Contingencies
From time to time, Talisman is the subject of litigation arising out of the Company’s operations. Damages claimed under such litigation may be material or may be indeterminate and the outcome of such litigation may materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. While Talisman assesses the merits of each lawsuit and defends itself accordingly, the Company may be required to incur significant expenses or devote significant resources to defend itself against such litigation. These claims are not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. A summary of specific legal proceedings and contingencies is as follows:
Galley Pipeline
In August 2012, a portion of the Galley pipeline, in which TSEUK has a 67.41% interest, suffered an upheaval buckle.
In September 2012, TSEUK, in which Talisman holds a 51% interest, claimed for the suffered losses as a consequence of the incidence to Oleum Insurance Company (''Oleum''), a wholly-owned Talisman subsidiary. TSEUK delivered a proof of loss seeking recovery under the insuring agreement of $315 million.
In November 2014, TSEUK delivered extensive documentation purporting to substantiate its claim. The information delivered to date does not support a determination of coverage and Oleum is seeking additional information from TSEUK to facilitate final coverage determination.
Addax Arbitration
On July 13, 2015, Addax Petroleum UK Limited and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation, filed a Notice of Arbitration against Talisman Energy Inc. and Talisman Colombia Holdco Limited in connection with the purchase of 49% shares of Talisman Energy (UK) Limited (now known as TSEUK). In the Company’s opinion, the claims included in the Notice of Arbitration are without merit.
Government and Legal Proceedings with Tax Implications
Specific tax claims which Talisman and its subsidiaries are parties to at June 30, 2015 are as follows:
Canada
The Canadian tax authorities, Canada Revenue Agency, ("CRA") regularly inspect the tax matters of the Talisman Group companies based in Canada. In 2015, verification and investigation activities related to the years 2006-2010 have been made.
As part of these proceedings, the CRA has questioned certain restructuring transactions, although this line of questioning has not resulted in court proceedings to date.
Indonesia
Indonesian Corporate Tax Authorities have been questioning various aspects of the taxation of permanent establishments that Talisman Group has in the country. These proceedings are pending a court hearing.
Malaysia
Talisman Malaysia Ltd. and Talisman Malaysia (PM3) Ltd., the Talisman Group's operating subsidiaries in Malaysia, have received notifications from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) in respect of the years 2007, 2008 and 2011 questioning, primarily, the deductibility of certain costs. These proceedings are pending a court hearing.
Norway
As part of the process of verifying the tax affairs of Talisman Energy Norge AS, the Talisman Group's subsidiary in Norway, the Norwegian tax authorities have questioned the deductibility of certain items. These proceedings are pending a court hearing.
Timor-Leste
The authorities of Timor-Leste, questioned the deduction by TLM Resources (JPDA 06-105) Pty Limited, the Talisman Group's subsidiary in East Timor, of certain expenses for income tax purposes. This line of questioning is at a very preliminary stage of debate with the authorities.
Commitments
There have been no additional significant changes in the Company’s expected future commitments, and the timing of those payments, since December 31, 2014.
