Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of Sundance. Capital costs used in this report were provided by Sundance and are based on authorizations for expenditure and actual costs from recent activity. Future net revenue is after deductions for Sundance's share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes. “PV10” is defined as the discounted Net Revenues of the Company’s reserves using a 10% discount factor. Reserves are estimated in US dollars. US dollars are converted at 1.2258 USD/AUD. “1P Reserves” or “Proved Reserves” are defined as Reserves which have a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. “Probable Reserves” are defined as Reserves that should have at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. “2P Reserves” are defined as Proved Reserves plus Probable Reserves. “Possible Reserves” are defined as Reserves that should have at least a 10% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. “3P Reserves” are defined as Proved Reserves plus Probable Reserves plus Possible Reserves. “boe” is defined as barrel of oil equivalent, using the ratio of 6 mcf of Natural Gas to 1 bbl of Crude Oil. This is based on energy conversion and does not reflect the current economic difference between the value of 1 MCF of Natural Gas and 1 bbl of Crude Oil. “m” is defined as a thousand. “mmboe” is defined as a million barrels of oil equivalent.
