Major Social Events


It is important for an organisation to provide employees with ample opportunities to build quality relationships with their
co-workers. Although, such opportunities can be provided on-the-job and in more formal ways, however, arrangement
of informal get-togethers away from work undoubtedly are the most effective ways of bringing employees from various
departments together to know one another in an informal environment, to interact and to have fun and entertainment.
Relationships built in informal settings such as dinners, Light and Sound show, Ramadan Get together, corporate retreats,
Eid Milan etc. have more personal touch, are deeper, longer lasting and easily carried into work life Living by the above
philosophy, the Company arranged following major events during the year.

Analysis:
Net sales increased on quarterly basis due to increase in applicable oil and gas prices in the second half of the year. Q2
profit was decreased mainly due to 3D seismic cost incurred by an associated company, which has been charged to profit
in line with Company's accounting policy. Q4 profit would have been higher if there was no imposition of the new fiscal
regime that was enacted towards the end of the year. Lower production in Q2 is due to lower off-takes by customers owing
to their less requirements.

Production Operations at Mari Field


Despite consistent low gas offtakes by power customers, and emergency
shutdowns/ unplanned turnaround of the fertilizer plants, the Company was
able to achieve production above the threshold of 577.5 MMSCFD of gas
for significant part of the year. This was achieved through better production
planning and proactive coordination with the customers and regulators for
diverting undrawn volumes to other customers depending on their individual
requirements.

During the year, the production commenced from Hilal and Iqbal discoveries
with supply of gas to Pak Arab Fertilizers Limited.

Agreement to Revised Agreement 2015 has been executed between the Government of Pakistan and the
Company on April 17, 2021, giving effect to the ECC decision.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Statement of compliance


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting standards
as applicable in Pakistan. The accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan comprise of
Annual Report 2022 195

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) as notified under the Companies Act, 2017 and provisions of and directives issued under the Companies
Act, 2017. Where the provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 differ from IFRS, the
provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Act, 2017 have been followed.

2.2 Basis of measurement


These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as otherwise
disclosed.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency


These financial statements are presented in Pakistan Rupees (Rupees), which is the functional currency of the
Company. All figures are rounded off to the nearest thousands of Rupees.

2.4 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions


The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the approved accounting and reporting
standards as applicable in Pakistan requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgment
about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period,
or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, the management has made the following
estimates, assumptions and judgements which are significant to these financial statements:

a) Estimation of oil and gas reserves - note 3.8 and note 12


Oil and gas commercial reserves i.e. proved and probable developed reserves, are an important element in
calculation of amortization charge and for impairment testing of development and production assets of the
Company. Reserve estimates involve some degree of uncertainty, require the application of judgement and
are subject to future revision. Reserves are estimated by reference to available reservoir and well information,
including production and pressure trends for producing reservoirs and, in some cases, subject to definitional
limits, to similar data from other producing reservoirs. All reserve estimates are subject to revision, either
upward or downward, based on new information, such as from development, drilling and production activities
or from changes in economic factors, including contract terms or development plans.

b) Exploration and evaluation expenditure - note 3.7 and note 13


The Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in certain items of
expenditure being capitalized for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future
exploration or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment
of the existence of commercial reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction
operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes
available. If, after having capitalized the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of
the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalized amount is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the
period when such judgement is made.
196 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

c) Development and production expenditure - note 3.8 and note 12


Development and production activities commence after project sanctioning by the appropriate approving
authority. Judgement is applied by the management in determining whether a project is economically viable
before obtaining project sanction approval. In exercising this judgement, management is required to make
certain estimates and assumptions similar to those described above for capitalized exploration and evaluation
expenditure. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If,
after having commenced development activity, a judgement is made that a development and production
asset is impaired, the appropriate amount is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period when
such judgement is made.

d) Provision for decommissioning cost - note 3.3 and note 7.1


Provision is recognized for the future decommissioning and restoration of oil and gas wells, production
facilities and pipelines at the end of their economic lives. The timing of recognition requires the application of
judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to changes. Estimates of the amounts
of provision are based on current legal and constructive requirements, technology and price levels. Provision
is based on best current estimates, however, because actual outflows may differ from estimates due to
changes in laws, regulations, public expectations, technology, prices and conditions, and can take place many
years in the future, the carrying amount of provision is reviewed periodically and adjusted to take account of
significant changes.

e) Property, plant and equipment - note 3.5 and note 11


The Company reviews the appropriateness of useful lives, method of depreciation and residual values of
property, plant and equipment at each reporting date. Any change in the estimates may affect the carrying
amounts of respective items of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding effect on the depreciation
charge and impairment, if any.

f) Employee benefits - note 3.4 and note 32


Certain actuarial assumptions have been adopted as disclosed in note 32 to the financial statements for
determination of present value of defined benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets.

g) Income taxes - note 3.1 and note 29


In making the estimates of income taxes currently payable by the Company, the management takes into
account the income tax law applicable to the Company and guidance based on the decisions of appellate
authorities in the past. This involves judgement on the future tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred
tax is recognized based on the expectation of the tax treatment of these transactions.

h) Measurement of the expected credit loss allowance - note 3.16 and note 33
The measurement of the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) allowance for financial assets measured at amortised
cost is an area that requires the use of complex models and significant assumptions about future economic
conditions and credit behavior (e.g. the likelihood of counter parties defaulting and the resulting losses).

Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgments and estimates include various formulas
and choice of inputs, macroeconomic scenarios and economic inputs alongwith their effect on Probability of
Default (PDs), Exposure At Default (EADs) and Loss Given Default (LGDs).

As referred in note 2.6 to these financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan
(SECP) has deferred applicability of ECL model in respect of financial assets due from the Government of
Pakistan (GoP) till June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company reviews the recoverability of its financial assets
Annual Report 2022 197

that are due directly / ultimately from GoP to assess whether there is any objective evidence of impairment
as per requirements of IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ at each reporting date.

i) Stores and spares - note 3.10 and note 18


The Company reviews the stores and spares for possible impairment on a periodic basis, which may affect the
carrying amounts of the respective items of stores and spares with a corresponding effect on the provision.

j) Contingencies - note 3.20 and note 10


The assessment of the contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment as the outcome
of the future events cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company, based on the availability of the latest
information, estimates the value of contingent assets and liabilities, which may differ on the occurrence /
non-occurrence of the uncertain future event(s).

k) Joint arrangements - note 3.15


The Company participates in several joint arrangements. Judgment is required in order to determine their
classification as a joint venture where the Company has rights to the net assets of the arrangement or a joint
operation where the Company has rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement.
In making this judgment, consideration is given to the legal form of the arrangement, the contractual terms
and conditions as well as other facts and circumstances.

2.5 Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and
have not been early adopted by the Company
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are only effective for accounting periods, beginning
on or after the date mentioned against each of them.

- Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies (effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023). The amendments aim to help entities
provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to
disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting
policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about
accounting policy disclosures.

- Amendment to IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements' - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-


current (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023). The amendments
provide more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual
arrangements in place at the reporting date.

- Amendments to IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’- Definition
of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023).
The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates clarifying that they are monetary
amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments
also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by specifying that a
company develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy. The
amendments will apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting
policies occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period in which the company
applies the amendments.

- Amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’- Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier
application permitted). The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption (IRE) so
198 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a
result, companies will need to recognise a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary
differences arising on initial recognition of a lease and a decommissioning provision. For leases and
decommissioning liabilities, the associated deferred tax asset and liabilities will need to be recognised
from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognised
as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date.

- Amendment to IAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’ (effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2022). The amendments clarify the prohibition on an entity from deducting from
the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while
bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the
cost of producing those items, in statement of profit or loss.

- Amendment to IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ - Onerous Contracts:
Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022).
The amendments specify the costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when
assessing whether a contract is onerous.

- On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued 'Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020' (Amendments to
IAS 41, IFRS 1, IFRS 9, and IFRS 16)'. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2022.

- Amendment to IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’ (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2022). The amendment updates a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements.

The above standards, amendments to approved accounting standards and interpretations are not likely
to have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Other than the aforesaid standards, interpretations and amendments, IASB has also issued the following
standards and interpretation, which have not been notified locally or deferred by the SECP as at June 30,
2022:

- IFRS 1 (First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards)


- IFRS 17 (Insurance Contracts)
- IFRIC 12 (Service concession arrangements)

2.6 Exemption from application of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments’


The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) through S.R.O. 1177 (I)/2021 dated September
13, 2021 has notified that in respect of companies holding financial assets due from the Government of
Pakistan (GoP), the requirements contained in IFRS 9 with respect to application of Expected Credit Loss
(ECL) model shall not be applicable till June 30, 2022, provided that such companies shall follow relevant
requirements of IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ in respect of above referred
financial assets during the exemption period.

Consequently, the Company has not recorded impact of application of ECL model on the financial assets due
directly/ultimately from the GoP in these financial statements.

2.7 Exemption from application of IFRS 2 'Share Based Payment'


On August 14, 2009, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) launched Benazir Employees’ Stock Option Scheme (the
Scheme) for eligible employees of certain State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and non-State Owned Enterprises
Annual Report 2022 199

(non-SOEs) where GoP holds significant investments. To administer the Scheme, the GoP transferred 12% of
its investment to BESOS Trust Fund (the Trust) created for the purpose by each of such entities.

Keeping in view the difficulties that may be faced by the entities covered under the Scheme, SECP on receiving
representation from some of the entities covered under the scheme and after having consulted the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan vide their letter number CAIDTS/PS& TAC/2011-2036 dated February 2,
2011 granted exemption to such entities from the application of IFRS 2 (Share based payment) to the Scheme
vide SRO 587 (I)/2011 dated June 7, 2011.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP), vide its detailed judgment dated December 22, 2021, has declared the
BESOS Scheme ultra vires. Accordingly, the appropriate measures in collaboration with relevant stakeholders
are being taken by the Company to implement the decision of the SCP.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented in these financial statements except
for reporting of the Company's operations as one reportable segment. Further, the Company has adopted the
accounting policy for government grant as disclosed in note 3.22 to these financial statements.

3.1 Income tax


Income tax comprises current and deferred tax and it is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that
it relates to items recognized outside of profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity), if any, in which case the tax amounts are recognized outside of profit or loss.

Current
Provision for current income tax is based on taxable income at the applicable tax rates after taking into
account tax credits and tax rebates, if any.

Deferred
The Company accounts for deferred tax using the 'liability method' in respect of all temporary differences
between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
bases. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets
are recognized to the extent, it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible
temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax has been calculated at the estimated
effective tax rate of 36% after taking into account the availability of depletion allowance and royalty. The tax
rate is reviewed periodically and significant adjustments are incorporated, where required.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.

3.2 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past
events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each
reporting date and significant adjustments are made to reflect the current best estimate.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

3.3 Decommissioning cost


The activities of the Company normally give rise to obligations for site restoration, which may include
abandonment and removal of wells, facility decommissioning and dismantling, removal or treatment of waste
materials, land rehabilitation and site restoration.

Liabilities for decommissioning cost are recognized when the Company has an obligation for site restoration
and a reliable estimate of that liability can be made. The amount recognized is the estimated cost of
decommissioning based on current requirements, technology and price levels and is discounted to its present
value over the useful economic life of the reserves. The associated decommissioning cost asset is capitalized
to the cost of property, plant and equipment, development and production assets and exploration and
evaluation assets, as the case may be. The recognized amount of decommissioning cost asset is subsequently
amortized/depreciated as part of the capital cost of the development and production assets and property,
plant and equipment.

While the provision is based on the best estimates, there is uncertainty regarding both the amount and
timing of incurring these costs. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is dealt with
prospectively and reflected as an adjustment to the provision and a corresponding adjustment to property,
plant and equipment, development and production assets and exploration and evaluation assets, as the
case may be. The unwinding of discount on decommissioning provision is recognized as finance cost in the
statement of profit or loss.

The decommissioning cost has been discounted at a real discount rate of 1.30% (2021: 1.30%) per annum.

3.4 Employee benefits


The Company operates following plans for its eligible employees:

i) Defined benefit funded and unfunded plans:

a) The Company makes contributions to funded plans and records liability for funded and unfunded
plans on the basis of actuarial valuations, carried out annually by independent actuaries using the
"Projected Unit Credit Method" and the latest valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2022. The
results of the valuation are summarized in note 32 to these financial statements.

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each
plan by estimating the present value of the future benefit that employees have earned in return for
their service in the current and prior periods. Past service cost and curtailments are recognized in
statement of profit or loss, in the period in which change takes place.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

b) The Company has the policy to provide for compensated absences of its employees in accordance
with respective entitlement on cessation of service; related expected cost thereof has been
recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

ii) Defined contribution provident fund, for which Rs 196,106 thousand (2021: Rs 101,521 thousand) are
charged to statement of profit or loss for the year. The contributions to the fund are made by the Company
at the rate of 10% of the basic salary.

3.5 Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment except freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost. Cost in relation to property, plant
Annual Report 2022 201

and equipment comprises acquisition and other directly attributable costs to bring the asset to the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management and
decommissioning cost as referred in note 3.3 to these financial statements. The cost of self constructed
assets also includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing
the assets to working condition for their intended use.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is charged to statement of profit or loss using the straight line
method at rates specified in note 11 to these financial statements except for decommissioning cost which
is charged on unit of production basis, so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their
estimated useful lives.

Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the month in which an asset is
available for use while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the asset is derecognized.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets' carrying amounts when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Carrying amount of parts so replaced, if any, is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
to statement of profit or loss as and when incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are credited or charged to
statement of profit or loss in the year of disposal.

Capital work in progress is stated at cost less impairment loss, if any, and transferred to respective item of
property, plant and equipment when available for intended use.

The carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of such assets
is estimated and impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Where an impairment
loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised recoverable amount
but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation)
had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of the impairment loss is
recognized as income in the statement of profit or loss.

3.6 Intangible assets


An intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the
asset will flow to the Company and that the cost of such asset can also be measured reliably. Intangible
assets having definite useful life are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets which
have indefinite useful life are not amortized and tested for impairment annually, if any.

3.7 Exploration and evaluation assets


The Company applies the “successful efforts” method of accounting for Exploration and Evaluation (E&E)
expenditures. Under this method of accounting, all property acquisitions and exploratory/evaluation drilling
expenditures are initially capitalized as E&E assets in cost centers by well, field or exploration area, as
appropriate, till such time that technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting gas and oil are
demonstrated.

Major costs capitalized include material, chemical, fuel, well services, rig costs, cost of recognizing provisions
for future site restoration and decommissioning and any other cost directly attributable to a particular well.
All other exploration costs including cost of technical studies, seismic acquisition and processing, geological
and geophysical activities are charged against income as exploration and prospecting expenditure. Costs
202 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area are charged directly to the statement of
profit or loss as and when incurred.

Tangible assets used in E&E activities including the Company’s vehicles, drilling rigs and other property, plant
and equipment used by the Company’s exploration function are classified as property, plant and equipment.
However, to the extent that such a tangible asset is consumed in developing an E&E asset, the amount
reflecting that consumption is recorded as part of the cost of the E&E asset. Such costs include directly
attributable overheads, together with the cost of other materials consumed during the exploration and
evaluation phases.

E&E assets relating to each exploration license/field are carried forward, until the existence or otherwise of
commercial reserves have been determined subject to certain limitations including review for indications of
impairment. If commercial reserves have been discovered, the carrying value after any impairment loss of
the relevant E&E assets is then reclassified as development and production assets. Otherwise, the capitalized
costs are written off as dry hole costs. E&E assets are not amortized.

E&E assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may
exceed the recoverable amounts of these assets. Such indicators include, the point at which a determination
is made as to whether or not commercial reserves exist, the period for which the Company has right to
explore has either expired or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed, substantive
expenditure on further exploration and evaluation activities is not planned or budgeted and any other event,
that may give rise to indication that such assets are impaired.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the E&E assets is increased due
to the revised recoverable amount but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss being recognized for the E&E assets in prior years. A reversal of the
impairment loss is recognized as income in the statement of profit or loss.

3.8 Development and production assets


Development and production assets represent the cost of developing the discovered commercial reserves,
together with the capitalized E&E expenditures transferred from E&E assets as outlined in note 3.7 above.
The cost of development and production assets also includes the cost of acquisitions of such assets, directly
attributable overheads, production bonus and the cost of recognizing provisions for future site restoration and
decommissioning. Development and production assets are amortized on a unit of production basis, which is
the ratio of oil and gas production in the year to the estimated quantities of commercial reserves at the end
of the year plus the production during the year.

Changes in the estimates of commercial reserves are dealt with prospectively. Acquisition cost of leases,
where commercial reserves have been discovered, are capitalized and amortized on unit of production basis.

Impairment test of development and production assets is also performed whenever events and circumstances
arising during the development and production phase indicate that carrying amounts of the development and
production assets may exceed their recoverable amount. Such circumstances depend on the interaction
of a number of variables, such as the recoverable quantities of hydrocarbons, the production profile of the
hydrocarbons, the cost of the development of the infrastructure necessary to recover the hydrocarbons,
the production costs, the contractual duration of the production concession and the net selling price of the
hydrocarbons produced.
Annual Report 2022 203

The carrying amounts are compared against expected recoverable amounts of the oil and gas assets,
generally by reference to the present value of the future net cash flows expected to be derived from such
assets. The cash generating unit applied for impairment test purpose is generally field by field basis, except
that a number of fields may be grouped as a single cash generating unit where the cash flows of each field
are inter-dependent.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount is increased due to the revised
recoverable amount but limited to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss being recognized in prior years. A reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as income
in the statement of profit or loss.

3.9 Investment in associates


An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor
an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating
policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results, assets
and liabilities of the associate are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of
accounting.

Under this method, investment in associates is carried in the statement of financial position at cost as
adjusted for post acquisition changes (net of tax) in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate, less
any impairment in the value of investment. Dividend distribution by the associate is adjusted against the
carrying amount of investment. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associate
are eliminated to the extent of Company's interest in the associate. Losses of an associate in excess of the
Company’s interest in that associate (which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of
the Company’s net investment in the associate) are recognized only to the extent that the Company has
incurred legal or constructive obligation or made payment on behalf of the associate. The Company’s share
of post-acquisition profit or loss is included in statement of profit or loss, its share of post-acquisition other
comprehensive income or loss is included in statement of comprehensive income and its share of post-
acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves.

3.10 Stores and spares


These are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value less allowance for obsolete and slow moving
items. Material in transit is valued at cost. Cost is determined on the moving average basis and comprises
cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the items to their present location and condition. Net
realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs necessarily
to be incurred in order to make the sale.

When stores and spares meet the definition of property, plant and equipment, they are classified as stores
and spares held for capital expenditure under property, plant and equipment.

3.11 Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions and translations


Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the
transaction. All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Rupees at the rate
of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date. All exchange differences are taken to the
statement of profit or loss.
204 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

Foreign operation
The transactions of foreign operation are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of
transaction. All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities of foreign operation are translated into
Rupees at exchange rate prevailing at the date of statement of financial position and the resulting currency
translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate
reserve in equity until the disposal of the foreign operation, upon which these are reclassified from equity to
statement of profit or loss when gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

3.12 Revenue recognition


Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as the Company satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring of promised good or service to a customer. In case of goods, the Company
principally satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time. The transfer of control of hydrocarbons
usually coincides with the delivery of the same to customers.

When, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Effect of adjustment, if any, arising from revision
in sale price is reflected as and when the prices are finalized with the customers and/or approved by the
Government.

Amounts billed or received prior to being earned, are deferred and recognized as deferred income. The
Company recognizes revenue on take or pay arrangements with the customers only to the extent that it is
highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount recognized will not occur when the uncertainty, if any,
associated with the revenue is subsequently resolved. The Company considers such uncertainty as resolved
when such revenue is received by the Company and customer cannot adjust the unused paid volumes in the
future.

3.13 Finance income and finance cost


Interest income on financial assets at amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest method
and is recognized in statement of profit or loss as part of finance income. Interest income is calculated by
applying the effective interest rate to gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets
that subsequently become credit impaired. For credit impaired financial assets, the effective interest rate is
applied to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. Dividend income is recognized when the right to
receive is established. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. The Company recognizes
interest on delayed payments from counter parties on probability of receipt basis.

Mark up, interest and other charges on borrowings are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they
are incurred. Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. The Company suspends capitalization of
borrowing costs during extended period when active development of a qualifying asset is suspended.

3.14 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable by the Company are classified as liabilities. The profit
on these preference shares is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as finance cost.
Annual Report 2022 205

3.15 Joint operations


Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on
contractual rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement. The Company has assessed the nature
of its arrangements and determined them to be joint operations.

The Company has recognized its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses jointly held or incurred
under the joint operations on the basis of latest available audited financial statements of the joint operations
and where applicable, the cost statements received from the operator of the joint venture, for the intervening
period up to the statement of financial position date. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company
and its joint operations are eliminated to the extent of Company's interest in the joint operations.

3.16 Financial instruments


A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.

a) Financial assets
Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, normally being the transaction price. In the case of
financial assets not classified at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs are
also included. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as set out
below. The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire.

The Company classifies its financial assets as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the business model
for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The
Company determines the classification of financial asset at initial recognition.

(i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost


Financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost when they are held in a business model the
objective of which is to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest
method if the time value of money is significant. Gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit or
loss when the assets are derecognized or impaired and when interest is recognized using the effective
interest method.

(ii) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when they
are held in a business model the objective of which is both to collect contractual cash flows and sell the
financial assets, and the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Such
assets are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with gains or losses recognized in
the other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss


Financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss when the asset does not
meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
Such assets are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with gains or losses recognized
in the statement of profit or loss.
206 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

b) Financial liabilities
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as follows:

(i) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss


Financial liabilities that meet the definition of held for trading are classified as measured at fair value
through profit or loss. Such liabilities are carried on the statement of financial position at fair value with
gains or losses recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost


All other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction
costs.

After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.

c) Fair value measurement


Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants. The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair
value into one of three levels depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurement.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs
that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within level 1 for the asset
or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting significant modifications
to observable related market data or Company’s assumptions about pricing by market participants.

d) Off-setting of financial assets and liabilities


A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial
position if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and intends either
to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

e) Impairment of financial assets


The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with financial assets
classified as measured at amortized cost at each statement of financial position date. Expected credit losses
are measured based on the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
Since this is typically less than 12 months there is no significant difference between the measurement of
12-month and lifetime expected credit losses for the Company's in-scope financial assets. The measurement
of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default.
The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of the future cash flows the Company expects to receive discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is adjusted, with the amount of the impairment gain
or loss recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

A financial asset or group of financial assets classified as measured at amortized cost is considered to
be credit-impaired if there is reasonable and supportable evidence that one or more events that have a
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset (or group of financial assets) have
occurred. Financial assets are written off where the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering
amounts due.
Annual Report 2022 207

3.17 Cash and cash equivalents


For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank
instruments and balances with banks and include short term highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to the known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

3.18 Dividend distribution


Dividend is recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which it is declared.

3.19 Leases

Right of use asset


The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. If a contract
contains a lease and meets requirements of IFRS 16, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a
lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before
the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and
remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease
incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The
estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant
and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

Where the Company determines that the lease term of identified lease contracts are short term in nature i.e.
with a lease term of twelve months or less at the commencement date, right of use assets is not recognized
and payments made in respect of these leases are expensed in the statement of profit or loss.

Lease liability
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental
borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

a. fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

b. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as
at the commencement date;

c. amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

d. the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease
payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension
option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to
terminate early.
208 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when
there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in
the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the
Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset
has been reduced to zero.

3.20 Contingent liabilities and assets


A contingent liability is disclosed when the Company has a possible obligation as a result of past events, whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence, of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Company; or the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
that arises from past events, but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability.

A contingent asset is disclosed, which is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the entity.

3.21 Non-current assets classified as held for sale


Non current assets are classified as assets held for sale and carried at the lower of carrying amount and fair
value less cost to sell if their carrying amount is recoverable principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continuing use. These assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for
sale. Any impairment loss on initial classification and subsequent measurement is recognised as an expense.
Any subsequent increase in fair value less cost to sell (not exceeding the accumulated impairment loss that
has been previously recognised) is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

3.22 Government grant


Government grant is recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
attached conditions will be complied with. The benefit provided by the government under a loan arrangement
at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The loan obtained at below-market rate
of interest is recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS 9 ""Financial Instruments"" and the benefit
of the below-market rate of interest is government grant, which is measured as the difference between the
initial carrying value of the loan determined in accordance with IFRS 9 and the proceeds received. Government
grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position as a reduction to the carrying
amount of the relevant assets and are recognised as a reduction to depreciation expense in the statement of
profit or loss over the same period and in the same proportions as the relevant assets.

3.23 Operating segments


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 Board of Directors that makes
strategic decisions. The management has determined that the Company has a single reportable segment as
the Board of Directors views the Company’s operations as one reportable segment.

33.3 Financial risk management

33.3.1 Financial risk factors


The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk
(including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk). The Company’s overall risk management policy
focuses on identification and analysis of risks faced by the Company, setting appropriate risk limits and
controls and monitoring thereof. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly in the light of
changes in Company's activities and business environment.

a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company on a financial asset if counterparty fails to meet its
contractual obligations and principally arises from trade debts, investments and bank balances. To manage
credit risk, the Company maintains procedures covering the function for credit approvals, granting and
renewal of counterparty limits and monitoring of exposures against these limits. As part of these processes,
the financial viability of all counterparties is regularly monitored and assessed.

Financial assets are considered to be credit-impaired when there is reasonable and supportable evidence that
one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset
have occurred. This includes observable data concerning significant financial difficulty of the counterparty;
a breach of contract; it becoming probable that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or other financial re-
organization because of financial difficulties. Where the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering
a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof for example where all legal avenues for collection of
amounts due have been exhausted, the financial asset (or relevant portion) is impaired.

The Company has not recorded impact of application of ECL model on the financial assets due directly/
ultimately from the GoP in these financial statements. For other financial assets, the management believes
that the impact of ECL is not material as outstanding balances are receivable from counter parties who have
high credit ratings with no history of default.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company conducts
transactions with the following major types of counterparties:

Customers
Trade debts are essentially due from fertilizer companies, power generation companies, gas distribution
companies and refineries and the Company does not expect these companies to fail to meet their obligations.
Payment terms are agreed with customers which vary from 7 to 45 days.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date in accordance with impairment requirements of
IFRS 9 read with S.R.O. 1177 (I)/2021 dated September 13, 2021 issued by SECP, which has exempted financial
assets due from the GoP from application of IFRS 9 till June 30, 2022. While evaluating the concentration of
risk with respect to trade debts, the Company takes into account that the oil and gas industry in Pakistan is
highly regulated, supported by the GOP and there is no history of default by any of the customers in the past.
The Company considers current and forward looking information on macro economic factors affecting the
ability of the customers to settle the receivables and applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach, read with S.R.O.
1177 (I)/2021 dated September 13, 2021 issued by SECP, to measure the expected credit losses which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance for trade debts.

Banks, mutual funds and long term investments


The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing funds only with approved counterparties that have
a high credit rating. Investments of surplus funds are made in a safe and secure manner while ensuring
optimum return and liquidity. Given these high credit ratings, strict regulations by the State Bank of Pakistan
and no history of default, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations and
accordingly, credit risk is considered very low.
232 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

Others
The relationship with the joint operating partners is governed under Petroleum Concession Agreements
(PCAs) signed by the Government of Pakistan, the Company and its respective joint operating partners with
the prior approval of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, the Government of Pakistan. Various
avenues are available for the recovery of dues from joint operating partners including engaging the regulator,
right to forfeit working interest, assignment of invoices etc. Based on above and considering there is no
history of default by any counter party, management considers the risk of default as very low. In respect of
deposits, the management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations and accordingly,
credit risk is considered very low.

b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liability when due under both normal and stress conditions, without incurring unacceptable
losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. The Company maintains sufficient cash and cash
equivalents and the Company's financial assets are in excess of financial liabilities by Rs 62,638,574 thousand
(2021: Rs 68,906,107 thousand).

c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s profit or the value of its
holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on financial instruments.

i) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will affect the Company’s profit or the value
of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of currency risk management is to manage and control
currency risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on financial instruments.

Exposure to foreign currency risk

The Company’s exposure to currency risk is as follows:

ii) Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

2022 2021
(Rupees in thousand)

Long term financing 724,126 -
Current maturity of long term financing 27,981 -

The effective interest rates for the financial assets are mentioned in respective notes to the financial
statements.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis


At June 30, 2022 if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/ lower and all other variables were held
constant, the Company’s profit after tax for the year ended June 30, 2022 would increase/ decrease by
Rs 1,029,030 thousand (2021: increase/ decrease by Rs 1,263,078 thousand).
234 Mari Petroleum Company Limited

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements


For the year ended June 30, 2022

iii) Price risk


Price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether
those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors
affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Company does not have any material financial assets and liabilities whose fair value or future cash flows
will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency
risk).

33.3.2 Capital risk management


The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to remain a going
concern and continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Company may issue new shares through right issue or raise
financing from financial institutions.

33.4 Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values except for financial assets
due directly/ultimately from GoP for which ECL model has not been applied due to exemption provided by
SECP upto June 30, 2022. Had the exemption not been granted, carrying value of said financial assets would
approximate their fair value.

Fair value 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 (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has the following financial assets at fair value:
