SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES

Note 1

General information

GeoPark Limited (the Company) is a company incorporated under the law of Bermuda. The Registered Office address is Cumberland House, 9th Floor, 1 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda.

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) are exploration, development and production for oil and gas reserves in Chile, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. The Group has working interests and/or economic interests in 29 hydrocarbon blocks.

On 7 February 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective the Company’s registration statement upon which 13,999,700 shares were issued, including over-allotment option, at a price of US$ 7 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering totalled US$ 98 million.  As a result, the Company commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol GPRK. Also its shares are authorized for trading on the Santiago Off-Shore Stock Exchange.

Subsequently, the Company listing cancellation on the AIM London Stock Exchange became effective on 19 February 2014.

This consolidated interim financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on
18 November, 2014.


Basis of Preparation

The consolidated interim financial report of GeoPark Limited is presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. It does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual financial statements. For further information please refer to GeoPark Limited's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

The activities of the Company are not subject to significant seasonal changes.

Non-controlling interest refers to LG International (“LGI”) as partner of GeoPark in the Colombian and Chilean business, through interest in different subsidiaries (see below the Group’s chart of subsidiaries).

Note 1 (Continued)

Estimates

The preparation of interim financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
 
Financial risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: currency risk, price risk, credit risk- concentration, funding and liquidity risk, interest risk and capital risk. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2013.

There have been no changes in the risk management since year end or in any risk management policies.
 
Subsidiary undertakings

The following chart illustrates the Group structure as of 30 September 2014 (*):
 

(*) LGI is not a subsidiary, it is Non-controlling interest.
During 2013 and 2014, with the purpose of conducting its multilocation activities and for allowing future business structures, the Company has incorporated certain wholly owned subsidiaries, that are dormant companies at the date of the issuance of these interim financial statements. These subsidiaries include new Peruvian entities (see Note 16).

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 strategic steering committee. This committee is integrated by the CEO, COO, CFO and managers in charge of the Geoscience, Drilling, Operations and SPEED departments. This committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.

The committee considers the business from a geographic perspective.

The strategic steering committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period before net finance cost, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options and stock awards. Other information provided, except as noted below, to the strategic steering committee is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

Note 11 (Continued)

Borrowings (Continued)

(a) During February 2013, the Company successfully placed US$ 300 million notes which were offered under Rule 144A and Regulation S exemptions of the United States Securities laws.

The Notes, issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary GeoPark Latin America Limited Agencia en Chile ("the Issuer"), were priced at 99.332% and carry a coupon of 7.50% per annum (yield 7.625% per annum). Final maturity of the notes will be 11 February 2020. The Notes are guaranteed by GeoPark Limited and GeoPark Latin America Coöperatie U.A. and are secured with a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Issuer in GeoPark Chile S.A. and GeoPark Colombia Coöperatie U.A. and a pledge of certain intercompany loans.  Notes were rated single B by both Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. The debt issuance cost for this transaction amounted to US$ 7,637,000. The Notes include covenants restricting dividend payments and new indebtedness. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has complied with these covenants.

(b) Short term financing obtained in December 2013 and fully repaid in January 2014. The interest rate applicable to this loan was 0.71% per annum.

(c) Facility to establish the operational base in the Fell Block. This facility was acquired through a mortgage loan granted by the Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (BCI), a Chilean private bank. The loan was granted in Chilean pesos and is repayable over a period of 8 years. The interest rate applicable to this loan is 6.6%. The outstanding amount at 30 September 2014 is US$ 116,000 (US$ 212,000 in 2013).

In addition, during 2011, GeoPark TdF obtained financing from BCI to start the operations in the newly acquired blocks. The outstanding amount at 31 December 2013 was US$ 1,931,000. This financing was structured as letter of credit and was fully repaid in February 2014.

(d) During March 2014, GeoPark executed a loan agreement with Itaú BBA International for
US$ 70,450,000 to finance the acquisition of a 10% working interest in the Manatí field in Brazil (see Note 14). The interest rate applicable to this loan is LIBOR plus 3.9% per annum. The interest will be paid semi-annually; principal will be cancelled semi-annually with a year grace period. The debt issuance cost for this transaction amounted to US$ 3,295,000. This loan includes covenants restricting dividend payments and new indebtedness. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has complied with these covenants.

(e) The Group has been granted with credit lines for over US$ 85,000,000.

Entry in Brazil

Acquisition in Brazil

GeoPark entered into Brazil with the acquisition of a 10% working interest in the offshore Manati gas field ("Manati Field"), the largest natural gas producing field in Brazil. On 14 May, 2013, GeoPark executed a stock purchase agreement ("SPA") with Panoro Energy do Brazil Ltda., the subsidiary of Panoro Energy ASA, ("Panoro"), a Norwegian listed company with assets in Brazil and Africa, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of its wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary, Rio das Contas Produtora de Petróleo Ltda ("Rio das Contas"), the direct owner of 10% of the BCAM-40 Block (the "Block"), which includes the shallow-depth offshore Manati Field in the Camamu-Almada basin.

GeoPark has paid a cash consideration of US$ 140 million at 31 March 2014 or the closing date, which was adjusted for working capital with an effective date of 30 April 2013. The agreement also provides for possible future contingent payments by GeoPark over the next five years, depending on the economic performance and cash generation of the Block (see Note 34 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2013).

The Manati Field is a strategically important, profitable upstream asset in Brazil and currently provides approximately 50% of the gas supplied to the northeastern region of Brazil and more than 75% of the gas supplied to Salvador, the largest city and capital of the northeastern state of Bahia. The field is largely developed with existing producing wells and an extensive pipeline, treatment and delivery infrastructure and is not expected to require significant future capital expenditures to meet current production estimates. Additional reserve development may be possible.

The Manati Field is operated by Petrobras (35% working interest), the Brazilian national company, largest oil and gas operator in Brazil and internationally-respected offshore operator. Other partners in the Block include Queiroz Galvao Exploração e Produção (45% working interest) and Brasoil Manati Exploração Petrolífera S.A. (10% working interest).

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the acquisition cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based primarily upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. An income approach (being the net present value of expected future cash flows) was adopted to determine the fair values of the mineral interest. Estimates of expected future cash flows reflect estimates of projected future revenues, production costs and capital expenditures based on our business model. The purchase price allocation performed is preliminary, since the valuation process is ongoing. This process will be completed during 2014.

Round 12 in Brazil

On 28 November 2013, the ANP awarded GeoPark with two new concessions in a new international bidding round, Round 12 (see Note 34 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2013).

In Brazil, GeoPark Brazil is currently a party to a legal proceeding related to the concession agreement of Block PN-T-597 that the ANP initially awarded to GeoPark Brazil in the 12th oil and gas bidding round. As a result of a class action filed by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, an injunction was issued by a Brazilian Federal Court against the ANP, the Federal Government and GeoPark Brazil on 13 December 2013. Due to the injunction GeoPark Brazil could not proceed to execute the concession agreement, and cannot do so until the injunction is lifted. According to the terms of the Court’s injunction, the ANP will first need to take certain actions, such as conducting studies that prove that drilling unconventional resources will not contaminate the dams and aquifers in the region. On 21 February 2014, GeoPark Brazil requested that the board of the ANP suspend the execution of the concession agreement (which entails delivery of the financial guarantee and performance guarantee and payment of the signing bonus) for six months with a possible extension of an additional six months, or until a firm court decision is reached that does not prevent GeoPark Brazil from entering into the concession agreement. On 16 April 2014, the ANP’s Board enacted a resolution stating that all proceedings related to the award of the concession of Block PN-T-597 to GeoPark Brazil were suspended.

Business agreements in Colombia

New exploratory license

GeoPark continued its expansion in Colombia through the award of a new exploratory license during the 2014 Colombia Bidding Round, carried out by the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (“ANH”) on 23 July 2014 in Cartagena, Colombia.

GeoPark was awarded the VIM-3 Block in the Lower Magdalena Basin, covering an area of approximately 225,000 acres. The block has an attractive oil and gas exploration potential in a large area within a proven hydrocarbon system, surrounded by existing oil and gas fields and with sparse exploration activity carried out to date.

GeoPark’s winning bid consisted of committing to a minimum investment program of 200 sq km of 2D seismic and drilling one exploration well, with a total estimated investment of US$ 22.2 million during the initial three year exploratory period and a Royalty X Factor of 3%. GeoPark will operate and have a 100% working interest in the block. The winning bid was subject to final signature of the contracts with the ANH, which occurred during the third quarter of 2014.

Swap operation

On 29 July 2014, GeoPark’s Colombian subsidiary agreed to exchange its 10% non-operating economic interest in Arrendajo Block for additional interests held by the counterpart in the Yamú Block (GeoPark operated) that includes a 15% economic interest  in all of the Yamú fields except for the Carupana field, where the seller had a 25% economic interest. According to the terms of the exchange, GeoPark received US$ 3.2 million in cash from the exchange, adjusted by working capital. Following this transaction, GeoPark will continue to be the operator and have a 79.5% interest in the Carupana Field and 90% in Yamú and Potrillo Fields, all fields located in the Yamú Block. This transaction had no impact on the results of the Company.

Entry in Peru (Continued)

The Morona Block, also known as Lote 64, covers an area of 1.9 million acres on the western side of the Marañón Basin, one of the most prolific hydrocarbon basins in Peru.

The Morona Block contains the Situche Central oil field, which has been delineated by two wells (with short term tests of approximately 2,400 and 5,200 bopd of 35-36° API oil each) and by 3D seismic. The independent reservoir engineering firm, Ryder Scott, has certified proven and probable (2P) reserves of 55 million barrels of oil (mmbo) and 3P reserves of 85 mmbo for the Situche Central field for Petroperu. GeoPark used a 2P reserve estimate of 30-40 mmbo for its internal evaluation of this project. In addition to the Situche Central field, the Morona Block has a large exploration potential with several high impact prospects and plays – with exploration resources currently estimated to range from 200 to 600 mmbo.

The Morona Block includes geophysical surveys of 2,783 km (2D seismic) and 465 sq km (3D seismic), and an operating field camp and logistics infrastructure. The expected work program and development plan for the Situche Central oil field is to be completed in three stages.

The goal of the initial stage will be to put the field into production through a long term test to help determine the most effective overall development plan and to begin to generate cash flow. This initial stage requires an investment of approximately US$ 140 million to US$ 160 million and is expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months after closing. GeoPark has committed to carry Petroperu during this initial phase and has the funds and cash flow to support this program. The subsequent work program stages, which will be initiated once production has been established, are focused on carrying out the full development of the Situche Central field, including transportation infrastructure, and new exploration drilling of the block. Petroperu will also have the right to increase its WI in the block up to 50%, subject to GeoPark recovering its investments in the block by certain agreed factors.
The transaction is subject to customary conditions, which include the qualification of GeoPark as an operator by PeruPetro, the Peruvian petroleum licensing agency, certain license modifications and a presidential decree. The transaction is expected to close by the first quarter of 2015.

Expansion in Colombia

On 4 November, the Company expanded its operations in Colombia with the addition of the CPO-4 Block to its portfolio through a partnership agreement with SK Innovation (subsidiary of SK Group, the Korean integrated energy and petrochemical company).

Expansion in Colombia (Continued)

The CPO-4 Block is an attractive high potential block on trend with GeoPark’s successful Llanos 34 Block in the Llanos Basin (approximately 60 km away). The CPO-4 Block covers an area of approximately 345,600 acres (1,398 sq km) with 3D seismic coverage of approximately 880 sq km and sparse drilling activity (with only 4 wells drilled to date). SK and GeoPark have jointly identified new prospects in CPO-4 similar to prospects and leads in GeoPark’s Llanos 34 Block where GeoPark has successfully discovered oil.

In accordance with the farm-in agreement, and subject to the approval of Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (ANH) in Colombia, GeoPark will operate and receive a 50% working interest (WI) in the CPO-4 Block in exchange for its commitment to drill and fund its 50% WI (with no carry) of one exploration well. The well is targeted for 1H2015 and GeoPark’s total financial commitment is approximately $6.0 million. There is an option to move to an additional exploration phase following the drilling of a successful well.
