(4) 2009 represents acquisition of additional 15% interest in Long Lake from Opti Canada Inc. 1 FINANCIAL RESULTS Quarterly cash flow from operations was $443 million compared to $946 million last year. This reflects the impact of lower commodity prices as WTI averaged US$60/bbl for the quarter, compared to US$124/bbl a year ago. In the second quarter, cash flow from operations of $443 million (Q1 - $557 million) and net income of $20 million (Q1 - $135 million) were impacted by lower production, higher oil prices and the following items:
COMPARING Q2 VS Q1 2009 (Cdn$ millions) CASH FLOW REDUCTION NET INCOME REDUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lower quarterly marketing contribution (50) (29) Decrease in value of put options (48) (82) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Production was lower in the quarter due to a shutdown at Buzzard for a planned rig move and a coker turnaround at Syncrude. Presently, total company production volumes are approximately 260,000 boe/d with Buzzard and Syncrude back at full rates. For the quarter, our marketing business contributed $34 million to our cash flow, compared to $84 million in the previous quarter. Marketing's first quarter contribution was boosted by gains on the use of its storage positions to take advantage of contango in the crude oil markets. WTI averaged US$60/bbl in the second quarter, compared to US$43/bbl in the previous quarter. With oil prices increasing throughout the second quarter, the fair value of our put options has fallen considerably. The put options have an annual average Dated Brent strike price of US$60/bbl and would be in-the-money if prices average approximately US$70/bbl or lower for the rest of the year. Year to date, our capital investment has exceeded cash flow. Our 2009 capital program is somewhat front-end loaded as we complete our new developments at Ettrick and Longhorn, and the Long Lake debottleneck project. With expenditures on these investments behind us, capital on these projects next year will be minimal. When ramped up, the annual pre-tax cash flow contribution of Ettrick and Longhorn at current commodity prices is approximately $300 million. Gas prices will drive the pace of our future shale gas investment programs. "Our solid quarterly cash flow continues to be driven by our industry leading cash netbacks," stated Marvin Romanow, Nexen's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our financial position remains strong and we have substantial liquidity. When we combine this with our high netbacks, we are well positioned in the current environment." 2
QUARTERLY PRODUCTION--RIG MOVE AT BUZZARD; TURNAROUND AT SYNCRUDE PRODUCTION BEFORE ROYALTIES PRODUCTION AFTER ROYALTIES Crude Oil, NGLs and Natural Gas (mboe/d) Q2 2009 Q1 2009 Q2 2009 Q1 2009 ------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- North Sea 101 107 101 107 Yemen 51 54 29 36 Canada - Oil & Gas 38 38 33 32 Canada - Bitumen 9 8 9 8 United States 22 19 20 17 Other Countries 4 6 3 5 Syncrude 15 20 13 20 --------------------------- ---------------------------- TOTAL 240 252 208 225 --------------------------- ----------------------------
Second quarter production volumes averaged 240,000 boe/d (208,000 boe/d after royalties) with 85% of our production weighted to crude oil. Volumes were lower due to a planned rig move at Buzzard and a turnaround at Syncrude. At Buzzard, production was temporarily shut-in while a development drilling rig was moved back to the platform following the completion of rig modifications. Buzzard contributed 87,500 boe/d (202,500 boe/d gross) to our volumes, which was 5,200 boe/d less than the first quarter. Syncrude production was lower due to a planned turnaround of Coker 8-3, which took longer than anticipated. Presently, total company production volumes are approximately 260,000 boe/d with Buzzard and Syncrude back at full rates. In the third quarter, production is expected to be temporarily lower than second quarter volumes as a result of maintenance downtime at a number of fields. As previously announced, Buzzard will be shut down for four weeks for the tie-in and jacket installation of the fourth platform. This platform will allow us to handle higher levels of hydrogen sulphide and maintain peak production until at least 2014. The shutdown is scheduled to coincide with an expected six week slowdown of the Forties pipeline for routine maintenance. Elsewhere in the North Sea, Scott/Telford will be shut down for approximately five weeks for planned maintenance. In the Gulf of Mexico, production volumes from Wrigley will be limited for approximately three weeks to complete corrosion mitigation work. Finally, at Long Lake, bitumen volumes will be impacted by downtime related to the replacement of valves and maintenance in the water treatment plant. In the fourth quarter, volumes are expected to grow significantly from current levels with the continued ramp up of Long Lake, the start up of Ettrick and Longhorn and incremental shale gas production. "New volumes from the start-up of Ettrick and Longhorn will help to offset some of this downtime," said Romanow. "With the longer than expected turnaround at Syncrude and the ongoing ramp up of Long Lake, we now expect to be towards the low end of our annual guidance." GLOBAL EXPLORATION--DELIVERING EXCITING RESULTS UK NORTH SEA The Golden Eagle area is emerging as a potential significant development opportunity. Our current estimates of recoverable resource are at the high end of our pre-drill estimates. We expect development of the area will be economic at approximately US$40/bbl and should support standalone facilities with project sanction targeted for 2010. In 2007, we drilled the initial Golden Eagle discovery well in what is now the Golden Eagle area. This well, and a subsequent sidetrack to the north, indicated the presence of a high quality reservoir and testing of the initial discovery well demonstrated production rates of approximately 5,000 boe/d. Net pays of 150 feet and 60 feet were encountered in the discovery and sidetrack wells, respectively. 3 In 2008, we drilled our Pink discovery well further south, between the Golden Eagle discovery well and Buzzard. We encountered 57 feet of net pay in a high quality reservoir, which was primarily light oil from Upper Jurassic Burns sands. We successfully sidetracked the well to the west and encountered 134 feet of net oil pay. In addition, we have recently completed an appraisal well here and the results are being assessed. In January 2009, we drilled the Hobby discovery. The well encountered light sweet oil with an API of 37 degrees and was tested at a constrained rate of 5,550 bbls/d with a 56/64 inch choke. We have subsequently drilled three successful sidetracks from the discovery well and an appraisal well. In the second half of the year, we expect to continue the appraisal drilling program for the Hobby discovery. We have a 34% operated interest in both Hobby and Golden Eagle and a 46% operated working interest in Pink. "The success we are having in the Golden Eagle area is coming from hard to find, stratigraphic traps. These discoveries come from the same exploration team that found Buzzard, one of the largest stratigraphic traps in the UK," commented Romanow. "Our geological model is working well in this mature basin and we intend to leverage this knowledge as we move forward with our exploration programs in the North Sea." OFFSHORE WEST AFRICA We recently completed drilling an exploration well in the southern portion of Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 223, offshore West Africa. The Owowo South B-1 well was drilled in a water depth of 670 metres and is located 20 kilometres northeast of the Usan field, currently under development. We expect to announce drilling results shortly. Under the production sharing contract governing OPL 223, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is concessionaire of the license, which is operated by Total Exploration & Production Nigeria Ltd. (18%) with its co-venturers: Nexen Petroleum Exploration & Production Nigeria Ltd. (18%), Chevron Nigeria Deepwater F Ltd. (27%), Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Upstream) Ltd. (27%) and Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) Ltd. (10%). DEEP-WATER GULF OF MEXICO In the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, we have previously made two discoveries at Vicksburg and Shiloh. We are currently reviewing tie-back options to existing platforms for the Vicksburg discovery and expect to drill an appraisal well here in 2010. In addition, we recently spud the Antietam prospect, which is located three miles west of our Shiloh discovery. Drilling results are expected in the third quarter. Later this year, we also expect to drill an exploration well at Appomattox, about six miles west of Vicksburg. We have a 25% interest in Vicksburg and a 20% interest in Antietam, Appomattox and Shiloh, with Shell operating all four. "By focusing where we have had success, our global exploration program is delivering excellent results," said Romanow, "We are leveraging talent and learnings across our select basins and the discoveries we are making are adding significant upside to our strong portfolio of identified growth projects." LONG LAKE--BITUMEN VOLUMES RESPONDING TO RECORD STEAM INJECTION RATES The ramp up of Long Lake is progressing and the reservoir continues to perform as expected given the amount of steam that has been injected. Steam volumes have been limited by our ability to treat water. In May, we successfully completed a project to add supplementary heat to the hot lime softeners ("HLS") in the water treatment plant. We also completed routine maintenance work to remove deposits which typically build up in water treatment plants. Steam production increased in June and we have achieved record injection 4 rates of approximately 95,000 bbls/d and gross bitumen production rates of approximately 18,000 bbls/d. There are currently 41 of 81 well pairs on production and we are producing at a steam to oil ratio ("SOR") which ranges between 4.0 and 5.0. We continue to expect a long term SOR of 3.0, over the life of the project. Bitumen production volumes for the second quarter set a new record and averaged approximately 14,300 bbls/d (gross), an increase of 7% over the first quarter. Production volumes have been impacted by downtime associated with improvements made to the HLS units. We plan to replace valves and conduct maintenance on our water treatment plant during the third quarter to further optimize our steam production. The cost of these activities will not be significant and will result in scheduled downtime in the third quarter, impacting bitumen and premium synthetic crude (PSCTM) production. As steam generation increases, all wells will be converted to production mode. With respect to the Upgrader, all major units are operational and Syngas is being used in SAGD operations. This allows us to decrease operating costs by reducing the requirement for purchased natural gas. The solvent de-asphalter and thermal cracker units are expected to start shortly and will allow us to transition from gasifying vacuum residue, which contains some lighter parts of the barrel, to gasifying asphaltenes, the heaviest part of the barrel. As a result, we expect our PSCTM yield to increase from approximately 60% to 80%. During the ramp up phase, we expect periods of downtime but anticipate that the stability of operations will continue to improve. We expect to reach full design rates of 72,000 bbls/d of gross bitumen production, upgraded to approximately 60,000 bbls/d (39,000 bbls/d, net to us) of PSCTM in 2010. We have a 65% interest in the Long Lake project and joint venture lands. We are the sole operator of the resource and upgrader. This allows us to maximize operational efficiencies and reduce the cost of managing the project. "The reservoir at Long Lake continues to meet expectations," commented Romanow. "Water treatment issues have limited production to date, but we have identified and continue to implement cost effective solutions. We are committed to a safe and reliable start-up. Long Lake will generate significant value with 40 years of production at a $10/bbl margin advantage." UK NORTH SEA--FIRST OIL AT ETTRICK SCHEDULED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS Our Ettrick development in the North Sea is expected to produce first oil in the next few weeks. The project is expected to add approximately 12,000 to 16,000 boe/d to our production volumes for the remainder of the year. Ettrick will produce to a leased floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) designed to handle 30,000 bbls/d of oil and 35 mmcf/d of gas. We have a discovery at Blackbird which could be a future tie-back to Ettrick. We operate both Ettrick and Blackbird, with an 79.73% working interest in each. GULF OF MEXICO--LONGHORN NEARING FIRST PRODUCTION Longhorn is expected to commence production shortly. We expect peak production of approximately 200 mmcf/d or 33,000 boe/d gross (50 mmcf/d or 8,000 boe/d, net to us). A fourth development well for the project, Leo, exceeded expectations and has extended our reserve base. We have a 25% non-operated working interest and ENI is the operator. At Knotty Head, we plan to start drilling an appraisal well in the fourth quarter of 2009 after the first of our two new deep-water drilling rigs arrives. The rig left the Singapore shipyard in mid-June and is expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico in August and begin deep-water sea trials. This new rig has been contracted at attractive day rates, which are significantly better than industry 5 average. We are currently negotiating the terms of an agreement to jointly develop Knotty Head and Pony. We have a 25% operated interest in Knotty Head. HORN RIVER SHALE GAS--WELL TESTS CONFIRM HIGH QUALITY RESOURCE During the quarter, we put two horizontal wells on production that were drilled last summer and completed in the first quarter. Initial production rates for the first month averaged 850 mcf/d per frac. These results are in line with previous tests and those of our competitors. We drilled three additional wells earlier this year and we recently began fracing these wells. We are starting to see efficiencies in our shale gas program as the time to complete the initial fracs in our new program is substantially less than our previous experience. We plan to complete and tie-in these wells in the third quarter. By the end of the year, we expect to have six wells on production at a total exit rate ranging between 12 and 18 mmcf/d. Our drilling activity to date has allowed us to secure tenure on the majority of our Dilly Creek lands. Only two more wells are required to secure the remainder. Primary tenure in the Horn River basin is four years and drilling activity and extensions increases this up to 18 years. The Horn River basin has the potential to become the most significant shale gas play in North America as it has the highest resource density and excellent well productivity. We have approximately 88,000 acres in the Dilly Creek area and 38,000 acres in the Cordova area in northeast British Columbia with a 100% working interest in each. As previously announced on April 22, 2008, we estimate that our Dilly Creek lands contain between 3 and 6 trillion cubic feet (0.5 to 1.0 billion barrels of oil equivalent) of recoverable contingent resource which could double our total proved reserves. Further appraisal activity is required before these estimates can be finalized and commerciality established. "Our most recent well tests continue to confirm the resource quality of our Horn River shale gas play," said Romanow. "The long land tenure we have secured gives us significant optionality in pacing our development, allowing us to focus on creating value as gas prices warrant, rather than managing land expiries." OFFSHORE WEST AFRICA--USAN DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES Development of the Usan field on block OML 138, offshore Nigeria is fully underway. The field development plan includes a FPSO vessel with a storage capacity of two million barrels of oil. Development drilling has begun and throughout the course of the year the FPSO hull will be constructed. The Usan field is expected to come on stream in 2012 and will ramp up to a peak production rate of 180,000 bbls/d (36,000 bbls/d net to us). Nexen has a 20% interest in exploration and development along with Total E&P Nigeria Limited (20% and Operator), Chevron Petroleum Nigeria Limited (30%) and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Offshore East) Limited (30%).

(1) Defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and other. We evaluate our performance and that of our business segments based on earnings and cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP term that represents cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital and other and excludes items of a non-recurring nature. We consider it a key measure as it demonstrates our ability and the ability of our business segments to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment and repay debt. Cash flow from operations may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 17 NEXEN INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cdn$ millions, except as noted 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The impact of significant differences between Canadian and United States GAAP on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is disclosed in Note 20. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly Nexen Inc.'s (Nexen, we or our) financial position at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the results of our operations and our cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management reviews these estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to accruals, litigation, environmental and asset retirement obligations, recoverability of assets, income taxes, fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, capital adequacy and determination of proved reserves. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. As at July 15, 2009, there are no material subsequent events requiring additional disclosure in or amendment to these financial statements. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K. Except as described below, the accounting policies we follow are described in Note 1 of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS On January 1, 2009, we retrospectively adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Section 3064, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS issued by the AcSB. This section clarifies the criteria for the recognition of assets, intangible assets and internally developed intangible assets. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Business Combinations On January 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted CICA Section 1582, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS issued by the AcSB. This section establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS On January 1, 2009, we adopted CICA Sections 1601, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, and 1602, NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS issued by the AcSB. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 provides guidance on accounting for non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. Adoption of these statements did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. The retrospective presentation changes have been included in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as applicable. 18 2. RESTRICTED CASH At June 30, 2009, our restricted cash consists of margin deposits of $335 million (December 31, 2008 - $103 million) related to exchange-traded derivative financial contracts used by our energy marketing group to hedge physical commodities, and storage, transportation and customer sales contracts. We are required to maintain margin for net out-of-the-money derivative financial contracts. The increase in margin primarily relates to derivative financial contracts hedging our natural gas positions. Declining natural gas prices and widening time spreads increased the value of storage and fixed price customer sales contracts. Concurrently, the derivative financial contracts hedging these positions declined in value. Additional margin was required to cover the increase in the net out-of-the-money derivative financial contracts. 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

(1) The crude oil put options were reclassified to other current assets in the first quarter as they settle within 12 months. 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments carried at fair value on our balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivatives used for trading and non-trading purposes. Our other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest payable, dividends payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, are carried at cost or amortized cost. The carrying values of our short-term receivables and payables approximate their fair value as the instruments are near maturity. In our energy marketing group, we enter into contracts to purchase and sell crude oil, natural gas and other energy commodities, and use derivative contracts, including futures, forwards, swaps and options, for hedging and trading purposes (collectively derivatives). We also use derivatives to manage commodity price risk and foreign currency risk for non-trading purposes. We categorize our derivative instruments as trading or non-trading activities and carry the instruments at fair value on our balance sheet. The derivatives section below details our derivatives and fair values as at June 30, 2009. The fair values are included with accounts receivable or payable and are classified as long-term or short-term based on anticipated settlement date. Any change in fair value is included in marketing and other income. We carry our long-term debt at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. At June 30, 2009, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt was $7,571 million (December 31, 2008 - $5,686 million) as compared to the carrying value of $7,863 million (December 31, 2008 - $6,578 million). The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on prices provided by quoted markets and third-party brokers. 20 DERIVATIVES (a) DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS RELATED TO TRADING ACTIVITIES Our energy marketing group engages in various activities including the purchase and sale of physical commodities and the use of financial instruments such as commodity and foreign exchange futures, forwards and swaps to economically hedge exposures and generate revenue. These contracts are accounted for as derivatives and, where applicable, are presented net on the balance sheet in accordance with netting arrangements. The fair value and carrying amounts related to derivative instruments held by our energy marketing operations are as follows:
June 30 December 31 2009 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commodity Contracts 609 742 Foreign Exchange Contracts 5 13 ---------------------------------------- Accounts Receivable (Note 3) 614 755 ---------------------------------------- Commodity Contracts 229 213 Foreign Exchange Contracts 1 4 ---------------------------------------- Deferred Charges and Other Assets (Note 6) (1) 230 217 ---------------------------------------- Total Trading Derivative Assets 844 972 ======================================== Commodity Contracts 616 585 Foreign Exchange Contracts 37 30 ---------------------------------------- Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities (Note 9) 653 615 ---------------------------------------- Commodity Contracts 216 248 Foreign Exchange Contracts 10 46 ---------------------------------------- Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities (Note 13) (1) 226 294 ---------------------------------------- Total Trading Derivative Liabilities 879 909 ======================================== Total Net Trading Derivative Contracts (35) 63 ========================================
(1) These derivative contracts settle beyond 12 months and are considered non-current; once within 12 months, they are included in accounts receivable or accounts payable. Excluding the impact of netting arrangements, the gross fair value of derivative instruments is as follows:
June 30 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current Trading Assets 4,320 Non-Current Trading Assets 1,208 ------------------ Total Trading Derivative Assets 5,528 ================== Current Trading Liabilities 4,359 Non-Current Trading Liabilities 1,204 ------------------ Total Trading Derivative Liabilities 5,563 ================== ------------------ Total Net Trading Derivative Contracts (35) ==================
Trading revenues generated by our energy marketing group include gains and losses on derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments such as physical inventory. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the following trading revenues were recognized in marketing and other income:
Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 2009 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Commodity 223 571 Foreign Exchange (2) (83) --------------------- -------------------- Marketing Revenue 221 488 ===================== ====================
21 As an energy marketer, we may undertake several transactions during a period to execute a single sale of physical product. Each transaction may be represented by one or more derivative instruments including a physical buy, physical sell, and in many cases, numerous financial instruments for economically hedging and trading purposes. The absolute notional volumes associated with our derivative instrument transactions are as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months June 30 Ended June 30 2009 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural Gas bcf/d 18.8 23.7 Crude Oil mmbbls/d 3.9 3.8 Power GWh/d 244.4 228.4 Foreign Exchange USD millions 852 1,230 Foreign Exchange Euro millions 107 260 -----------------------------------------
(b) DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS RELATED TO NON-TRADING ACTIVITIES The fair value and carrying amounts of derivative instruments related to non-trading activities are as follows:
June 30 December 31 2009 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounts Receivable 36 6 Deferred Charges and Other Assets (Note 6) (1) - 234 ----------------------------------------- Total Non-Trading Derivative Assets 36 240 ========================================= Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities 28 21 Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities (Note 13) (1) 13 26 ----------------------------------------- Total Non-Trading Derivative Liabilities 41 47 ========================================= Total Net Non-Trading Derivative Assets (2) (5) 193 =========================================
(1) These derivative contracts settle beyond 12 months and are considered non-current. (2) The net fair value of these derivatives is equal to the gross fair value before consideration of netting arrangements and collateral posted or received with counterparties. CRUDE OIL PUT OPTIONS In 2008, we purchased put options on approximately 70,000 bbls/d of our 2009 crude oil production for $14 million. These options establish an annual average Dated Brent floor price of US$60/bbl on these volumes. In September 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection. This impacts approximately 25,000 bbls/d of our 2009 put options and the carrying value of these put options has been reduced to nil. The crude oil put options are carried at fair value and are classified as long-term or short-term based on their anticipated settlement date. Fair value of the put options is supported by multiple quotes obtained from third party brokers, which were validated with observable market data to the extent possible. With the rise in Dated Brent oil price, the fair value of the crude oil put options decreased, which is included in marketing and other income.

22 FIXED-PRICE NATURAL GAS CONTRACTS AND NATURAL GAS SWAPS We have fixed-price natural gas sales contracts and offsetting natural gas swaps that are not part of our trading activities. These sales contracts and swaps are carried at fair value and are classified as long-term or short-term based on their anticipated settlement date. The change in fair value of the fixed price natural gas contracts and natural gas swaps is included in marketing and other income.

(c) FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES Our processes for estimating and classifying the fair value of our derivative contracts are consistent with those in place at December 31, 2008. The following table includes our derivatives carried at fair value for our trading and non-trading activities as at June 30, 2009. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Net Derivatives Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trading Derivatives (201) 162 4 (35) Non-Trading Derivatives - (5) - (5) ---------------------------------------------------- Total (201) 157 4 (40) ==================================================== A reconciliation of changes in the fair value of our derivatives classified as Level 3 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is provided below: Level 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning of Period (82) Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) 49 Purchases, Issuances and Settlements 46 Transfers In and/or Out of Level 3 (9) ------------- End of Period 4 ============= Unsettled Gains (Losses) Relating to Instruments Still Held as of June 30, 2009 41 =============
Trading derivatives classified in Level 3 are generally economically hedged such that gains or losses on positions classified in Level 3 are often offset by gains or losses on positions classified in Level 1 or 2. Transfers into or out of Level 3 represent existing assets and liabilities that were either previously categorized as a higher level for which the inputs became unobservable or assets and liabilities that were previously classified as Level 3 for which the lowest significant input became observable during the period. 8. RISK MANAGEMENT (a) MARKET RISK We invest in significant capital projects, purchase and sell commodities, issue short-term borrowings and long-term debt, and invest in foreign operations. These activities expose us to market risks from changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which affect our earnings and the value of the financial instruments we hold. We use derivatives for trading and non-trading purposes as part of our overall risk management policy to manage these market exposures. The following market risk discussion focuses on the commodity price risk and foreign currency risk related to our financial instruments as our exposure to interest rate risk is immaterial. 23 COMMODITY PRICE RISK We are exposed to commodity price movements as part of our normal oil and gas operations, particularly in relation to the prices received for our crude oil and natural gas. Commodity price risk related to conventional and synthetic crude oil prices is our most significant market risk exposure. Crude oil and natural gas are sensitive to numerous worldwide factors, many of which are beyond our control, and are generally sold at contract or posted prices. Changes in the global supply and demand fundamentals in the crude oil market and geopolitical events can significantly affect crude oil prices. Changes in crude oil and natural gas prices may significantly affect our results of operations and cash generated from operating activities. Consequently, these changes may also affect the value of our oil and gas properties, our level of spending for exploration and development, and our ability to meet our obligations as they come due. The majority of our oil and gas production is sold under short-term contracts, exposing us to the risk of price movements. Other energy contracts we enter into also expose us to commodity price risk between the time we purchase and sell contracted volumes. We periodically manage these risks by using derivative contracts such as commodity put options. Our energy marketing business is focused on providing services for our customers and suppliers to meet their energy commodity needs. We market and trade physical energy commodities including crude oil, natural gas, electricity and other commodities in selected regions of the world. We accomplish this by buying and selling physical commodities, by acquiring and holding rights to physical transportation and storage assets for these commodities, and by building strong relationships with our customers and suppliers. In order to manage the commodity and foreign exchange price risks that are generated by this physical business, we use financial derivative contracts including energy-related futures, forwards, swaps and options, as well as foreign currency swaps or forwards. We also seek to profit from our views on the future movement of energy commodity pricing relationships, primarily between different locations, time periods or product qualities. We do this by holding open positions, where the terms of physical or financial contracts are not completely matched to offsetting positions. We may also carry exposures to the absolute change in commodity prices based on our market views or as a consequence of managing our physical and financial positions on a daily basis. Our risk management activities make use of tools such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and stress testing consistent with the methodology used at December 31, 2008. Our period end, high, low and average VaR amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are as follows: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Value-at-Risk 2009 2008 2009 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Period End 15 31 15 31 High 19 40 24 40 Low 13 29 13 21 Average 15 34 17 32 ---------------------------------------- If market shocks occur in 2009 as they did in 2008, the key assumptions underlying our VaR estimate could be exceeded and the potential loss could be greater than our estimate. We perform stress tests on a regular basis to complement VaR and assess the impact of non-normal changes in prices on our positions. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK Foreign currency risk is created by fluctuations in the fair values or cash flows of financial instruments due to changes in foreign exchange rates. A substantial portion of our activities are transacted in or referenced to US dollars including: o sales of crude oil, natural gas and certain chemicals products; o capital spending and expenses for our oil and gas, Syncrude and chemicals operations; o commodity derivative contracts used primarily by our energy marketing group; and o short-term borrowings and long-term debt. In our oil and gas operations, we manage our exposure to fluctuations between the US and Canadian dollar by matching our expected net cash flows and borrowings in the same currency. Net revenue from our foreign operations and our US-dollar borrowings are generally used to fund US-dollar capital expenditures and debt repayments. We maintain revolving Canadian and US-dollar borrowing facilities that can be used or repaid depending on expected cash flows. We designate a portion of our US-dollar borrowings as a hedge against our US-dollar net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations. 24 The effective portion of the foreign exchange gains or losses related to our designated US-dollar debt are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. Our net investment in self-sustaining foreign operations and our designated US-dollar debt at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:
June 30 December 31 (US$ millions) 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Investment in Self-Sustaining Foreign Operations 4,350 4,662 Designated US-Dollar Debt 4,350 4,545 ------------------------------
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the ineffective portion of the net foreign exchange gain was $41 million and $57 million, respectively ($36 million and $50 million, respectively, net of income tax expense) and is included in marketing and other income. A one cent change in the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would increase or decrease our accumulated other comprehensive income by approximately $44 million, net of income tax and would increase or decrease our net income by approximately $8 million, net of income tax. We also have exposures to currencies other than the US dollar including a portion of our UK operating expenses, capital spending and future asset retirement obligations which are denominated in British Pounds and Euros. We do not have any material exposure to highly inflationary foreign currencies. In our energy marketing group, we enter into transactions in various currencies including Canadian and US dollars, British Pounds and Euros. We may actively manage significant currency exposures using forward contracts and swaps. (b) CREDIT RISK Credit risk affects both our trading and non-trading activities and is the risk of loss if counterparties do not fulfill their contractual obligations. Most of our credit exposure is with counterparties in the energy industry, including integrated oil companies, crude oil refiners and utilities, and are subject to normal industry credit risk. Approximately 94% of our exposure is with these large energy companies. This concentration of risk within the energy industry is reduced because of our broad base of domestic and international counterparties. Our processes to manage this risk are consistent with those in place at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, only one counterparty individually made up more than 10% of our credit exposure. This counterparty is a major integrated oil company with a strong investment grade credit rating. No other counterparties made up more than 5% of our credit exposure. The following table illustrates the composition of credit exposure by credit rating.
June 30 December 31 CREDIT RATING 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A or higher 68% 65% BBB 26% 29% Non-Investment Grade 6% 6% ------------------------------ TOTAL 100% 100% ==============================
Our maximum counterparty credit exposure at the balance sheet date consists primarily of the carrying amounts on non-derivative financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, as well as the fair value of derivative financial assets. We provided an allowance of $64 million for credit risk with our counterparties. In addition, we incorporate the credit risk associated with counterparty default, as well as Nexen's own credit risk, into our estimates of fair value. Collateral received from customers at June 30, 2009 includes $102 million of cash and $553 million of letters of credit. The cash received reflects customer deposits that are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. (c) LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they become due. We require liquidity specifically to fund capital requirements, satisfy financial obligations as they become due, and to operate our energy marketing business. We generally rely on operating cash flows to provide liquidity and we also maintain significant undrawn committed credit facilities. At June 30, 2009, we had approximately $2.5 billion of cash and available committed lines of credit. This includes $2.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand. In addition, we have undrawn term credit facilities of $0.9 billion, of which $0.4 billion was supporting letters of credit at June 30, 2009. These facilities are available until 2012. We also have about $0.5 billion of undrawn, uncommitted credit facilities at June 30, 2009. 25 The following table details the contractual maturities for our non-derivative financial liabilities, including both the principal and interest cash flows at June 30, 2009:
Less than More Than Total 1 Year 1-3 Years 4-5 Years 5 Years -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-Term Debt (1) 7,935 - 251 3,384 4,300 Interest on Long-Term Debt (2) 7,067 314 628 607 5,518 ------------------------------------------------------- Total 15,002 314 879 3,991 9,818 =======================================================
(1) Excludes cash and cash equivalents currently available. (2) Excludes interest on term credit facilities of $3.6 billion and Canexus term credit facilities of $455 million as the amounts drawn on the facilities fluctuate. Based on amounts drawn at June 30, 2009 and current interest rates, we would be required to pay $33 million per year until the outstanding amounts on the term credit facilities are repaid. The following table details contractual maturities for our derivative financial liabilities. The balance sheet amounts for derivative financial liabilities included below are not materially different from the contractual amounts due on maturity.

The commercial agreements our energy marketing group enter into often include financial assurance provisions that allow us and our counterparties to effectively manage credit risk. The agreements normally require collateral to be posted if an adverse credit-related event occurs, such as a drop in credit rating. Based on contracts in place and commodity prices at June 30, 2009, we could be required to post collateral of up to $1.1 billion if we were downgraded to non-investment grade. This represents the maximum amount of collateral that we would be required to post assuming a severe event that causes all rating agencies to simultaneously downgrade us. This amount includes trade payables of $795 million and derivative contracts with a fair value of $313 million. All of these obligations are included on our June 30, 2009 balance sheet. In the event of a ratings downgrade, we could monetize our trading inventories and receivables and draw on our existing credit facilities to meet our collateral obligations. Various actions can be taken, in anticipation of a downgrade that would reduce the maximum amount of collateral we would need to provide. At June 30, 2009, collateral posted with counterparties includes $15 million of cash and $209 million of letters of credit related to our trading activities. Cash posted is included with our accounts receivable. Cash collateral is not normally applied to contract settlement. Once a contract has been settled, the collateral amounts are refunded. If there is a default, the cash is retained. Our exchange-traded derivative contracts are also subject to margin requirements. We have margin deposits of $335 million (December 31, 2008 - $103 million), which have been included in restricted cash. 9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

(a) CANEXUS TERM CREDIT FACILITIES Canexus has $455 million (US$391 million) of committed, secured term credit facilities, $432 million (US$371 million) of which is available until 2011, with the balance due 2013. At June 30, 2009, $263 million (US$227 million) was drawn on these facilities (December 31, 2008 - $223 million (US$182 million)). Borrowings are available as Canadian bankers' acceptances, LIBOR-based loans, Canadian prime rate loans or US-dollar base rate loans. Interest is payable monthly at floating rates. The term credit facilities are secured by a floating charge debenture over all of Canexus' assets. The credit facility also contains covenants with respect to certain financial ratios of Canexus. The weighted-average interest rate on the Canexus term credit facilities was 2.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (three months ended June 30, 2008 - 4.6%) and 2.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (six months ended June 30, 2008 - 4.5%). (b) TERM CREDIT FACILITIES We have unsecured term credit facilities of $3.6 billion (US$3.1 billion) available until 2012. At June 30, 2009, $2.7 billion (US$2.3 billion) was drawn on these facilities (December 31, 2008 - $1.2 billion (US$1 billion)). Borrowings are available as Canadian bankers' acceptances, LIBOR-based loans, Canadian prime rate loans, US-dollar base rate loans or British pound call-rate loans. Interest is payable at floating rates. The weighted-average interest rate on our term credit facilities was 1.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (three months ended June 30, 2008 - 3.3%) and 1.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (six months ended June 30, 2008 - 3.7%). At June 30, 2009, $392 million (US$337 million) of these facilities were utilized to support outstanding letters of credit (December 31, 2008 - $381 million (US$311 million)). (c) INTEREST EXPENSE

Capitalized interest relates to and is included as part of the cost of our oil and gas and Syncrude properties. The capitalization rates are based on our weighted-average cost of borrowings. (d) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Nexen has uncommitted, unsecured credit facilities of approximately $496 million (US$427 million), none of which were drawn at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - nil). We utilized $33 million (US$28 million) of these facilities to support outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $29 million (US$24 million)). Interest is payable at floating rates. The weighted-average 27 interest rate on our short-term borrowings was 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (three months ended June 30, 2008 - 3.7%) and 2.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (six months ended June 30, 2008 - 3.8%). 11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Our objectives and processes for managing our capital structure are consistent with those in place at December 31, 2008. Our capital consists of shareholders' equity, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and cash and cash equivalents as follows:
June 30 December 31 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET DEBT (1) Long-Term Debt 7,863 6,578 Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents (1,974) (2,003) ------------------------------- Total 5,889 4,575 =============================== SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY 7,303 7,191 ===============================
(1) Includes all of our borrowings and is calculated as long-term debt and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. We monitor the leverage in our capital structure by reviewing the ratio of net debt to cash flow from operating activities and interest coverage ratios at various commodity prices. We use the ratio of net debt to cash flow from operating activities as a key indicator of our leverage and to monitor the strength of our balance sheet. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure that does not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by others. We calculate net debt using the GAAP measures of long-term debt and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash). For the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, our net debt to cash flow from operating activities ratio was 2.1 times compared to 1.1 times at December 31, 2008. While we typically expect the target ratio to fluctuate between 1.0 and 2.0 times under normalized commodity prices, this can be higher when we identify strategic opportunities requiring additional investment. Whenever we exceed our target ratio, we assess whether we need to develop a strategy to reduce our leverage and lower this ratio back to target levels over time. Our interest coverage ratio monitors our ability to fund the interest requirements associated with our debt. Our interest coverage was 10.4 times at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - 15.6 times). Interest coverage is calculated by dividing our twelve-month trailing adjusted EBITDA by interest expense before capitalized interest. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is set out in the following table and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by others.
Twelve Months Year Ended Ended June 30 December 31 2009 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income 860 1,715 Add: Interest Expense 193 94 Provision for Income Taxes 684 1,457 Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment 2,138 2,014 Exploration Expense 399 402 Recovery of Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation (430) (272) Change in Fair Value of Crude Oil Put Options (18) (203) Other Non-Cash Expenses (34) (1) --------------------------------------- Adjusted EBITDA 3,792 5,206 =======================================
28 12. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS Changes in carrying amounts of the asset retirement obligations associated with our Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E) are as follows:
Six Months Year Ended Ended June 30 December 31 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at Beginning of Period 1,059 832 Obligations Incurred with Development Activities 22 32 Obligations Settled (16) (45) Accretion Expense 34 58 Revisions to Estimates (25) 159 Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rate 5 23 ------------------------------------- Balance at End of Period (1), (2) 1,079 1,059 =====================================
(1) Obligations due within 12 months of $35 million (December 31, 2008 - $35 million) have been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. (2) Obligations relating to our oil and gas activities amount to $1,028 million (December 31, 2008 - $1,009 million) and obligations relating to our chemicals business amount to $51 million (December 31, 2008 - $50 million). Our total estimated undiscounted inflated asset retirement obligations amount to $2,470 million (December 31, 2008 - $2,393 million). We have discounted the total estimated asset retirement obligations using a weighted-average, credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of 5.9%. Approximately $396 million included in our asset retirement obligations is expected to be settled over the next five years. The remaining obligations settle beyond five years and are expected to be funded by future cash flows from our operations.
13. DEFERRED CREDITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES June 30 December 31 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred Tax Credit 616 709 Long-Term Energy Marketing Derivative Contracts (Note 7) 226 294 Deferred Transportation Revenue 61 69 Fixed-Price Natural Gas Contracts and Swaps (Note 7) 13 26 Defined Benefit Pension Obligations 70 67 Capital Lease Obligations 62 53 Other 119 106 ------------------------------------- Total 1,167 1,324 =====================================
14. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY DIVIDENDS Dividends per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $0.10 per common share (2008 - $0.075). Dividends paid to holders of common shares have been designated as "eligible dividends" for Canadian tax purposes.
15. MARKETING AND OTHER INCOME Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 2009 2008 2009 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marketing Revenue, Net (Note 7) 221 21 488 232 Change in Fair Value of Crude Oil Put Options (Note 7) (179) (10) (195) (10) Interest 1 3 3 13 Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses) - (6) 19 (1) Other 39 26 24 22 ----------------------------------------- Total 82 34 339 256 =========================================
29 16. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE We calculate basic earnings per common share using net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per common share in the same manner as basic, except we use the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding in the denominator.
Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 (millions of shares) 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 521.2 530.0 520.7 529.5 Shares issuable pursuant to tandem options 11.1 24.9 11.2 25.7 Shares notionally purchased from proceeds of tandem options (6.8) (14.4) (7.9) (16.4) --------------------------------------------------- Weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding 525.5 540.5 524.0 538.8 ===================================================
In calculating the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we excluded 13,100,342 and 13,158,635 tandem options, respectively, because their exercise price was greater than the average common share market price in the period. In calculating the weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we excluded 1,667 and 25,833 tandem options, respectively, because their exercise price was greater than the average common share market price in the period. During the periods presented, outstanding tandem options were the only potential dilutive instruments. 17. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES As described in Note 16 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K, there are a number of lawsuits and claims pending, the ultimate results of which cannot be ascertained at this time. We record costs as they are incurred or become determinable. We continue to believe the resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position or results of operations. There have been no significant developments since year-end. 18. CASH FLOWS (a) CHARGES AND CREDITS TO INCOME NOT INVOLVING CASH

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED US GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: i. Under Canadian GAAP, we defer certain development costs to PP&E. Under US principles, these costs have been included in operating expenses. As a result PP&E is lower under US GAAP by $30 million (December 31, 2008 - $30 million). ii. US GAAP requires the recognition of the over-funded and under-funded status of a defined benefit plan on the balance sheet as an asset or liability. At June 30, 2009, the unfunded amount of our defined benefit pension plans that was not included in the Pension Liability under Canadian GAAP was $104 million. This amount has been included in deferred credits and other liabilities and $75 million, net of income taxes, has been included in AOCI. iii. On January 1, 2003, we adopted FASB Statement 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS (FAS 143) for US GAAP reporting purposes. We adopted the equivalent Canadian standard for asset retirement obligations on January 1, 2004. These standards are consistent except for the adoption date which results in our PP&E under US GAAP being lower by $19 million. iv. Under Canadian principles, we record obligations for liability-based stock compensation plans using the intrinsic-value method of accounting. Under US principles, obligations for liability-based stock compensation plans are recorded using the fair-value method of accounting. In addition, under Canadian principles, we retroactively adopted EIC-162 which requires the accelerated recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to our retired and retirement-eligible employees. However, US GAAP requires the accelerated recognition of stock-based compensation expense for such employees for awards granted on or after January 1, 2006. As a result: o general and administrative (G&A) expense is higher by $30 million and $38 million ($22 million and $28 million, net of income taxes) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively (2008 - lower by $28 million and $21 million, respectively ($20 million and $15 million, net of income taxes)); and o accounts payable and accrued liabilities are higher by $96 million as at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $58 million). v. Under US GAAP, asset disposition gains and losses are included with transportation and other expense. Gains of $1 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, were reclassified from marketing and other income to transportation and other expense (gains of $4 million were reclassified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008). vi. Under Canadian GAAP, we carry our commodity inventory held for trading purposes at fair value, less any costs to sell. Under US GAAP, we are required to carry this inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As a result: 37 o marketing and other income is lower by $15 million and higher by $27 million ($10 million and $17 million, net of income taxes) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively (2008 - lower by $132 million and $148 million ($83 million and $90 million, net of income taxes)); and o inventories are lower by $31 million as at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - lower by $58 million). vii. On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES (FIN 48) regarding accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions. On the adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $28 million. This amount increased our deferred income tax liabilities, and decreased our retained earnings as at January 1, 2007 in our US GAAP - Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As at June 30, 2009, the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefit was approximately $269 million, all of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. To the extent interest and penalties may be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and are classified as a component of income taxes in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income. As at June 30, 2009, the total amount of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions recognized in deferred income tax liabilities in the US GAAP - Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet was approximately $8 million. We had no interest or penalties included in the US GAAP - Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Our income tax filings are subject to audit by taxation authorities and as at June 30, 2009 the following tax years remained subject to examination, (i) Canada - 1985 to date (ii) United Kingdom - 2007 to date and (iii) United States - 2005 to date. We do not anticipate any material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits previously disclosed within the next 12 months. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES - US GAAP Business Combinations On January 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted FASB Statement 141 (R), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. Statement 141 establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. The adoption of this statement did not impact our results of operations or financial position. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS On January 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted FASB Statement 160, NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. This statement clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. The presentation changes have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, as applicable. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURES On January 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted FASB Statement 161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The statement requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of gains and losses on derivative contracts and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged position. The statement also requires the disclosure of the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the financial statements. The disclosures required by this standard are provided in Notes 7 and 8. On April 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted three FASB staff positions to improve guidance and disclosures on fair value measurement and impairments. The positions clarify fair value accounting specifically regarding: inactive markets and distressed transactions; other-than-temporary impairments; and expanded fair value disclosures for financial instruments in interim periods. The adoption of these positions did not have a material impact on our results of operation or financial position. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 1, 2009, we prospectively adopted Statement 165, SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. The new standard reflects the existing principles of current subsequent events accounting guidance and retains the notion and definition of "available to be issued" financial statements. The new standard requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and clarifies that original issuance of financial statements means both "issued" or "available to be issued". The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our results of operation or financial position. 38 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - US GAAP In December 2008, FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R) -1, EMPLOYERS DISCLOSURES ABOUT POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN ASSETS. This position provides guidance on disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to materially impact our results of operations or financial position. In June 2009, FASB issued Statement 167, AMENDMENTS TO FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 46 (R). It retains the scope of Interpretation 46(R) with the addition of entities previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities and eliminates the previous quantitative approach for a qualitative analysis in determining whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The Statement further amends Interpretation 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The Statement is effective at the beginning of the first annual reporting period after November 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. 39
