Oil Sands
Joslyn Mining Project
During the second quarter of 2014, the company recognized an impairment charge of $718 million (net of taxes of $248 million) related to the company's interest in the Joslyn mining project, charged against Property, Plant and Equipment ($318 million) and Exploration and Evaluation assets ($400 million). As a result of the company's assessment of expected future net cash flows and the uncertainty of the project, including the timing of the development plans, the company performed an impairment test at June 30, 2014 using a fair value less cost of disposal methodology, with a discounted cash flow approach.
The remaining carrying value of the company's share of the Joslyn mining project as at June 30, 2015 was $400 million.
Other
In the second quarter of 2014, the company recorded an impairment charge of $223 million (net of taxes of $77 million) in the Oil Sands segment following a review of certain assets that no longer fit with Suncor's previously revised growth strategies and which could not be repurposed or otherwise deployed. Such assets included a pipeline and related compressor, as well as steam generator components.
Exploration and Production
Libya
During the second quarter of 2014, the company recognized an after-tax impairment charge of $297 million related to its Libyan assets, charged against Property, Plant and Equipment ($129 million) and Exploration and Evaluation assets ($168 million). As a result of shut-in production due to the continued closure of certain Libyan export terminals and the company's production plans for the remaining term of the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements, the company performed an impairment test at June 30, 2014 using a fair value less cost of disposal methodology, with a discounted cash flow approach.
The remaining carrying value of the company's net assets in Libya as at June 30, 2015 was approximately $375 million.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Government of Alberta enacted an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 10% to 12% effective July 1, 2015. As a result, the company revalued its deferred income tax balances, resulting in a deferred income tax expense of $423 million.
In the first quarter of 2015, the United Kingdom (U.K.) government decreased the supplementary rate on oil and gas profits in the North Sea that reduced the statutory tax rate on Suncor's earnings in the U.K. from 62% to 50%. The company revalued its deferred income tax balances, resulting in a one-time decrease to deferred income taxes of $406 million.
Pursuant to the previously disclosed 2013 proposal letter from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the company received a Notice of Reassessment (NOR) from the CRA during the second quarter of 2014, regarding the income tax treatment of realized losses in 2007 on the settlement of certain derivative contracts. The total amount of the NOR, including tax, penalty and interest, was approximately $920 million. The company strongly disagrees with the CRA's position and continues to firmly believe it will be able to successfully defend its original filing position and will take the appropriate actions to resolve this matter. In addition to the above, the company has:
- •
- Received NORs related to the derivative contracts from the Provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Quebec for approximately $124 million, $100 million and $42 million, respectively;
- •
- Provided security to the CRA and the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario for approximately $635 million;
- •
- Filed Notices of Objection with the CRA and the Provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Quebec; and
- •
- Filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada in November 2014 and is now pursuing its Appeal to that Court.
If the company is unsuccessful in defending its tax filing position, it could be subject to an earnings and cash impact of up to $1.2 billion.

- Cash payment alternatives are accounted for as cash-settled plans. As these awards can be exchanged for common shares of the company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the company's diluted net earnings per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period. Accounting for these awards as equity-settled was determined to have a dilutive impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $12.2 billion (December 31, 2014 – $11.5 billion) and the fair value was $14.2 billion (December 31, 2014 – $13.5 billion). The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there was a net increase in provisions of $428 million, primarily due to a $375 million increase in the decommissioning and restoration provision as a result of a decrease in the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
On July 7, 2015, Suncor announced that it had reached an agreement with TransAlta Corporation to exchange Suncor's Kent Breeze and its share of the Wintering Hills wind power facilities for TransAlta's Poplar Creek cogeneration facilities.
