Peyto Celebrates 15 Years and Record Production of 70,000 boe/d

13/11/2013 8:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. ("Peyto") (TSX:PEY) is pleased to present
its operating and financial results for the third quarter of the 2013 fiscal
year. This quarter culminates 15 successful years of delivering superior returns
to shareholders through the profitable development of long life, high value,
natural gas assets in one of the premium resource basins in North America. With
an industry leading cost structure, Peyto delivered third quarter operating
margins of 75%(1) and profit margins of 23%(2), while growing production per
share 18% year over year. Third quarter 2013 highlights included:




--  Production per share up 18%. Production increased 22% (18% per share)
    from 276 MMcfe/d (46,033 boe/d) in Q3 2012 to 338 MMcfe/d (56,343 boe/d)
    in Q3 2013. Year to date average production of 340 MMcfe/d (56,623
    boe/d) is 32% higher than 2012 production of 257 MMcfe/d (42,772 boe/d).
    Current production is approximately 420 MMcfe/d (70,000 boe/d),
    exceeding the previous year-end 2013 guidance. 
    
--  Funds from operations per share up 25%. Funds from Operations ("FFO")
    grew 30% (25% per share) from $77 million in Q3 2012 to $100 million in
    Q3 2013 due to increases in both production and natural gas price. 
    
--  Industry leading cash costs of $1.07/mcfe. Total cash costs including
    royalties, operating costs, transportation, G&A and interest were
    $1.07/mcfe ($6.42/boe), up slightly from $1.00/mcfe ($6.02/boe) in Q3
    2012 primarily due to higher royalties from higher natural gas prices,
    resulting in cash netbacks of $3.22/mcfe ($19.32/boe) or a 75% operating
    margin. 
    
--  Record organic capital investment of $181 million. A total of 34
    horizontal wells were drilled in Q3 2013, a new quarterly record for
    Peyto. 
    
--  Earnings of $0.21/share, dividends of $0.24/share. Earnings of $30
    million ($105 million year-to-date) were generated in the quarter, while
    dividends of $36 million ($95 million year-to-date) were paid to
    shareholders, representing a before tax payout ratio of 36% of FFO (30%
    year-to-date). The $0.08/share monthly dividend ($0.24/share for the
    quarter) was up 33% from Q3 2012.



Third Quarter 2013 in Review

The third quarter of 2013 was a challenging period for Peyto as wet ground
conditions at the start of the quarter and weak AECO natural gas prices at the
end of the quarter hindered Peyto from maximizing production and Funds from
Operations as otherwise planned. Despite those challenges, a 10 rig drilling
program was successfully executed throughout the quarter and a record 34
horizontal wells were drilled and brought on production. The new producing wells
helped increase production from a post breakup low of 53,500 boe/d to 60,000
boe/d, however, production above that level was purposefully restricted to
prevent exposing unhedged flush volumes to the temporary and artificially low
Alberta natural gas prices that were prevalent in August and September. The low
Alberta (AECO) natural gas prices were due to a short term increase in
interruptible tolls on the TransCanada Mainline and a temporary widening of the
NYMEX to AECO basis differential. Peyto elected to conduct facility and pipeline
maintenance during those low price periods in advance of the return to normal
prices in October. On average for the quarter, approximately 2,000 boe/d was
offline due to maintenance and restrictions. Subsequent to the quarter, improved
natural gas prices along with the completion of three new facility projects have
allowed for the activation of all behind pipe production, with current
production exceeding 70,000 boe/d. Notwithstanding the volatility in natural gas
prices in the quarter, strong financial and operating performance was delivered
resulting in an annualized 12% Return on Equity (ROE) and 10% Return on Capital
Employed (ROCE).




(1) Operating Margin is defined as funds from operations divided by revenue 
    before royalties but including realized hedging gains/losses.           
(2) Profit Margin is defined as net earnings for the quarter divided by     
    revenue before royalties but including realized hedging gains/losses.   
Natural gas volumes recorded in thousand cubic feet (mcf) are converted to  
barrels of oil equivalent (boe) using the ratio of six (6) thousand cubic   
feet to one (1) barrel of oil (bbl). Natural gas liquids and oil volumes in 
barrel of oil (bbl) are converted to thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe)  
using a ratio of one (1) barrel of oil to six (6) thousand cubic feet. This 
could be misleading, particularly if used in isolation as it is based on an 
energy equivalency conversion method primarily applied at the burner tip and
does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

(1) Funds from operations - Management uses funds from operations to analyze
    the operating performance of its energy assets. In order to facilitate  
    comparative analysis, funds from operations is defined throughout this  
    report as earnings before performance based compensation, non-cash and  
    non-recurring expenses. Management believes that funds from operations  
    is an important parameter to measure the value of an asset when combined
    with reserve life. Funds from operations is not a measure recognized by 
    International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and does not have a
    standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, funds from          
    operations, as defined by Peyto, may not be comparable to similar       
    measures presented by other issuers, and investors are cautioned that   
    funds from operations should not be construed as an alternative to net  
    earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of      
    financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Funds from    
    operations cannot be assured and future dividends may vary.             



Exploration & Development

Third quarter drilling activity focused on the Greater Sundance core area and
the many liquids rich, sweet gas resource plays currently under development. A
total of 34 wells were drilled across this land base, targeting the prospective
zones shown in the following table:

Over the last year, the Bluesky and Falher formations have contributed the
largest proportional increases in production with increases of 190% and 80%,
respectively. Currently, the Bluesky is contributing 4,800 boe/d while the
Falher is contributing 10,300 boe/d to Peyto's total production. Proven future
drilling inventory in these two formations continues to expand and Peyto
anticipates a larger percentage of future drilling activity will target these
formations.

Peyto invested $86 million to drill, and $54 million to complete, 34 gross (31.6
net) horizontal wells in the quarter. In addition, $14 million was invested to
install wellsite equipment and pipelines to bring 34 gross (32.6 net) wells on
production, while $24 million was invested in the ongoing fabrication and
preparation of three new facility projects at Oldman North, Swanson and Brazeau.
The balance of the capital investments, or $3 million, was invested in the
acquisition and evaluation of new undeveloped lands. In total, $181 million of
capital was invested, representing the largest quarterly capital program in
Peyto's history.


Financial Results

Alberta (AECO) daily natural gas prices averaged $2.31/GJ in Q3 2013, while AECO
monthly prices averaged $2.66/GJ. As Peyto commits most of its production to the
monthly price, Peyto realized a volume weighted average natural gas price of
$2.62/GJ in Q3 2013, or $2.99/mcf, prior to a hedging gain of $0.36/mcf. This
unhedged realized price was up 26% from Q3 2012 but down 22% from the previous
quarter. Peyto realized a blended oil and natural gas liquids price of
$71.79/bbl in Q3 2013, prior to a $0.88/bbl hedging loss, for its blend of
condensate, pentane, butane and propane, which represented 68% of the
$105.13/bbl average Edmonton light oil price. The current offset to light oil
price has increased due to a greater percentage of propane and butane in Peyto's
natural gas liquids blend resulting from the Oldman deep cut facilities.
Combined, Peyto's unhedged revenues totaled $3.99/mcfe ($4.29/mcfe including
hedging gains), or 152% of the dry gas price, illustrating the benefit of high
heat content, liquids rich natural gas production.


Royalties of $0.31/mcfe, operating costs of $0.37/mcfe, transportation costs of
$0.12/mcfe, G&A of $0.02/mcfe and interest costs of $0.25/mcfe, combined for
total cash costs of $1.07/mcfe ($6.42/boe). These industry leading total cash
costs resulted in a cash netback of $3.22/mcfe ($19.32/boe) or a 75% operating
margin.


Depletion, depreciation and amortization charges of $1.75/mcfe, along with a
provision for future tax and market based bonus payments reduced the cash
netback to earnings of $1.00/mcfe, or a 23% profit margin. 


Net debt at the end of Q3 2013 was $862 million or 2.2 times annualized FFO,
however, financial flexibility remained strong with over $280 million of
available borrowing capacity out of a total $1.15 billion. Subsequent to the
quarter, Peyto announced that it had priced an issuance of CND $120 million of
senior unsecured notes, to be issued by way of private placement pursuant to a
note purchase agreement. The notes have a coupon rate of 4.5% and mature in
December 2020. This issuance is expected to close in early December 2013 and
will increase Peyto's total borrowing capacity to $1.27 billion.


Marketing

Alberta (AECO) daily natural gas price dropped from a high of $3.81/GJ in the
second quarter 2013 to a low of $1.57/GJ in the third quarter 2013 as the basis
differential to NYMEX increased dramatically. This volatile differential was due
to an increase in short term interruptible tolls on the TransCanada mainline
system. By the end of the quarter, the basis had begun to return to normal
levels as longer term contracts were put in place allowing AECO prices to
stabilize at approximately the $3.00/GJ level. Currently, both the AECO and
NYMEX futures prices for natural gas are forecast to rise at very modest levels
as future supplies are expected to meet growing demands.  


Approximately 63% of Peyto's (after royalty) natural gas production had been
pre-sold for Q3 2013, at an average fixed price of $3.20/GJ. This was the result
of an active hedging program which layers in future sales in the form of fixed
price swaps in order to smooth out the volatility in natural gas price. 


Going forward, Peyto has committed to the future sale of 81,992,500 GJ of
natural gas at an average price of $3.37/GJ. As at November 13, 2013, the
remaining hedged volumes and prices for the upcoming years are summarized in the
following table.

Prices for propane contracts listed above are in USD at Conway. The price Peyto
realizes is less: i) a market-basis differential from Conway to Edmonton, ii)
currency exchange, and iii) a pipeline and fractionation fee to get to Peyto's
plant gate price. 


Activity Update

Peyto has been very busy of late with the recent commissioning of three new
facility projects and the activation of 25 new wells in the last eight weeks
which has contributed to the production growth from 60,000 boe/d to 70,000
boe/d. 


At Brazeau River, Peyto constructed and activated the first 10 mmcf/d of process
capacity to accommodate the initial three wells that were waiting to be brought
on production. The second 10 mmcf/d of capacity will be commissioned over the
next two weeks for an additional three wells that will be drilled in the fourth
quarter. Peyto anticipates this facility will be further expanded in 2014 to 40
mmcf/d. 


At Peyto's Swanson gas plant in the Ansell area, an additional 30 mmcf/d of
process capacity was added, bringing total capacity to 50 mmcf/d. This plant was
processing just under 5 mmcf/d a year ago and is now processing over 45 mmcf/d.
This new capacity is now able to process incremental volumes from the southern
end of Peyto's Ansell lands that were connected with a 50 km, 10" gathering line
earlier this year. Peyto plans to further expand the Swanson plant in mid-2014
with 15 mmcf/d of additional compression. 


Finally, on November 10th, Peyto commissioned a new gas plant at Oldman North
which has initial compression capacity of 30 mmcf/d but with process capacity of
50 mmcf/d. Peyto expects this initial capacity to be full by year end and
further compression can be added in 2014 to match total capacity. This plant
will play a vital role in Peyto's ongoing development of the Upper Falher and
Bluesky plays in Greater Sundance. 


Since the end of the quarter, Peyto has drilled 9 gross (8.3 net) wells and
brought on production 14 gross (12.6 net) wells. There are 12 additional wells
planned from now until the end of the year to round out this year's drilling
program at 99 gross (93.5 net) wells. Peyto anticipates that it will now exit
2013 with 71,000 boe/d of production on total capital expenditures of $565
million.


Drilling and completion activity during the past few months has provided
encouraging cost and well performance results. By combining even faster drilling
times, longer horizontal laterals, most recently as long as 2160m, as well as
higher frac density, Peyto has been able to achieve even better performance for
minimal additional cost. Production performance over the next several quarters
will help determine the success of these changes in achieving greater overall
returns.


2014 Budget 

The Board of Directors has approved a preliminary 2014 budget which includes a
capital program that is expected to range between $575 and $625 million. This
would be the largest capital program in the company's history and involves
drilling between 110 and 125 wells (100 to 115 net to Peyto's working interest).
It is anticipated that this record level of activity would utilize 9 to 10
drilling rigs to develop the many stacked formations in Peyto's Deep Basin core
areas. Peyto plans to have a higher level of rig activity in summer months than
in winter to reduce costs associated with heating and to take advantage of
reduced service rates in summer. As in past years, it is projected that over 80%
of the total capital investment would be directed to the well-related activity
of drilling, completions, wellsite equipment, and pipelines. 


The 110 to 125 wells will be selected from Peyto's inventory of over 1,300
locations, and are expected to add between 32,000 to 35,000 boe/d of new working
interest production, for a cost of less than $18,000/boe/d. This capital
efficiency is consistent with that achieved over the last four years and is not
dependent on improvements to historical efficiency that may come as a result of
additional innovation in drilling and completion technology. A portion of this
new production will offset an internally forecast 34% base decline, while a
portion will grow overall 2014 production to a forecast exit level between
78,500 and 81,500 boe/d. 


Facility expansions at the Oldman North, Swanson and Brazeau gas plants, in
order to accommodate the production growth, are expected to account for 10% of
the budget, while acquisition of new drilling opportunities will make up the
balance. Today, total company gas processing capacity is 510 mmcf/d of natural
gas and associated liquids. With the 2014 planned expansion projects, Peyto
expects to exit 2014 with close to 600 mmcf/d of owned and operated processing
capacity. Peyto does not anticipate installing any additional liquids extraction
facilities in 2014. Considering the limitations in NGL fractionation capacity
and under forecast propane and butane prices, higher returns are currently being
generated drilling new wells than through facility modification projects.


Natural gas prices in Alberta are currently forecast to average approximately
$3.30/GJ, which, adjusted for an historic NGL and heat content premium of 150%
and combined with Peyto's current hedge position and industry leading cash costs
of $1/Mcfe ($6/boe), would yield cash netbacks of $23-$24/boe and give Peyto the
ability to fund the dividend and majority of the 2014 capital program. The
balance of the capital program can be funded from available bank lines and
working capital, while still maintaining Peyto's balance sheet strength and a
conservative level of debt.


Outlook 

The demand for natural gas is expected to continue to increase in North America,
as both Canada and the US pursue increased coal to gas switching for power
generation, increased industrial consumption (including oil sands), eventual LNG
exports, and the adoption of natural gas as a transportation fuel. At the same
time, the industry is expected to meet this demand with growing supplies from
unconventional tight gas and shale gas sources. This is causing the current and
futures price for natural gas, both in Canada (AECO) and the US (NYMEX), to
trade at a constrained level, disconnected from the energy equivalence of crude
oil. 


In reality, there are only a select few operators in a few basins in North
America that have demonstrated true profitability at current market prices and
an ability to consistently increase supply. The Deep Basin in Alberta is one of
those few basins with Peyto being one of the most active and profitable
operators. Insulated by an industry leading, low cost advantage, and with an
abundant and growing inventory of profitable drilling ideas, Peyto remains well
positioned to continue generating superior returns for shareholders into 2014
and beyond.

Peyto Exploration & Development Corp.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

As at September 30, 2013 and 2012 

(Amount in $ thousands, except as otherwise noted)

1. Nature of operations 

Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. ("Peyto" or the "Company") is a Calgary
based oil and natural gas company. Peyto conducts exploration, development and
production activities in Canada. Peyto is incorporated and domiciled in the
Province of Alberta, Canada. The address of its registered office is 1500, 250 -
2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 0C1.


Effective December 31, 2012, Peyto completed an amalgamation with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Open Range Energy Corp. pursuant to section 184(1) of
the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). Following the amalgamation, Peyto does
not have any subsidiaries.


These financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the
Audit Committee of Peyto on November 12, 2013.


2. Basis of presentation 

The condensed financial statements have been prepared by management and reported
in Canadian dollars in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS")
34, "Interim Financial Reporting". These condensed financial statements do not
include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.


Significant Accounting Policies 

(a) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions 

The timely preparation of the condensed financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingencies, if any, as at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
period. By their nature, estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and
changes in such estimates in future years could require a material change in the
condensed financial statements.


Except as disclosed below, all accounting policies and methods of computation
followed in the preparation of these financial statements are the same as those
disclosed in Note 2 of Peyto's consolidated financial statements as at and for
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 


(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing
standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that are
mandatory for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2013 or later periods. The
affected standards are consistent with those disclosed in Peyto's consolidated
financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 


Peyto adopted the following standards on January 1, 2013:

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements; supercedes IAS 27 "Consolidation
and Separate Financial Statements" and SIC-12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose
Entities". This standard provides a single model to be applied in control
analysis for all investees including special purpose entities. This standard
became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.


IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements; requires a venturer to classify its interest in a
joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas joint operations
will require the venturer to recognize its share of the assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses. This standard became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto
adopted the standard on January 1, 2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial
position or results of operations.


IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; establishes disclosure
requirements for interests in other entities, such as joint arrangements,
associates, special purpose vehicles and off-balance-sheet vehicles. The
standard carries forward existing disclosure and also introduces significant
additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks
associated with, an entity's interests in other entities. This standard became
effective for Peyto on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.


IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement; defines fair value, sets out a single IFRS
framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosure about fair value
measurements. IFRS 13 applies to accounting standards that require or permit
fair value measurements or disclosure about fair value measurements (and
measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or
disclosure about those measurements), except in specified circumstances. IFRS 13
became applicable on January 1, 2013. Peyto adopted the standard on January 1,
2013, with no impact on Peyto's financial position or results of operations.

4. Long-term debt 



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bank credit facility                             630,000             430,000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



As at September 30, 2013, the Company had a syndicated unsecured $1.0 billion
extendible revolving credit facility with a stated term date of April 26, 2015.
The bank facility is made up of a $30 million working capital sub-tranche and a
$970 million production line. The facilities are available on a revolving basis
for a two year period. Outstanding amounts on this facility will bear interest
at rates ranging from prime plus 0.8% to prime plus 2.25% determined by the
Company's debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization (EBITDA) ratios ranging from less than 1:1 to greater than 2.5:1. 


On January 3, 2012, Peyto issued CDN $100 million of senior unsecured notes
pursuant to a note purchase and private shelf agreement. The notes were issued
by way of private placement and rank equally with Peyto's obligations under its
bank facility. The notes have a coupon rate of 4.39% and mature on January 3,
2019. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears. 


On September 6, 2012, Peyto issued CDN $50 million of senior unsecured notes
pursuant to a note purchase and private shelf agreement. The notes were issued
by way of private placement and rank equally with Peyto's obligations under its
bank facility. The notes have a coupon rate of 4.88% and mature on September 6,
2022. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears. 


Upon the issuance of the senior unsecured notes January 3, 2012, Peyto became
subject to the following financial covenants as defined in the credit facility
and note purchase and private shelf agreements:




--  Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio will not exceed 3.0 to 1.0  
--  Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio will not exceed 4.0 to 1.0  
--  Interest Coverage Ratio will not be less than 3.0 to 1.0 
--  Total Debt to Capitalization Ratio will not exceed 0.55:1.0 



Peyto is in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2013.

Total interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2013 was $7.9 million and $22.2 million (2012 - $6.4 million and $16.5 million)
and the average borrowing rate for the period was 4.1% and 4.2% (2012 - 4.6% and
4.4%). 


5. Decommissioning provision 

Peyto makes provision for the future cost of decommissioning wells, pipelines
and facilities on a discounted basis based on the commissioning of these assets.


The decommissioning provision represents the present value of the
decommissioning costs related to the above infrastructure, which are expected to
be incurred over the economic life of the assets. The provisions have been based
on Peyto's internal estimates of the cost of decommissioning, the discount rate,
the inflation rate and the economic life of the infrastructure. Assumptions,
based on the current economic environment, have been made which management
believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability.
These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes
to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend
upon the future market prices for the necessary decommissioning work required
which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the
timing of the decommissioning is likely to depend on when production activities
ceases to be economically viable. This in turn will depend and be directly
related to the current and future commodity prices, which are inherently
uncertain.


The following table reconciles the change in decommissioning provision:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Peyto has estimated the net present value of its total decommissioning provision
to be $52.4 million as at September 30, 2013 ($58.2 million at December 31,
2012) based on a total future undiscounted liability of $145.4 million ($127.9
million at December 31, 2012). At September 30, 2013 management estimates that
these payments are expected to be made over the next 50 years with the majority
of payments being made in years 2041 to 2062. The Bank of Canada's long term
bond rate of 3.07 per cent (2.36 per cent at December 31, 2012) and an inflation
rate of two per cent (two per cent at December 31, 2012) were used to calculate
the present value of the decommissioning provision.

Per share amounts

Earnings per share or unit have been calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2013 of 148,758,923 and 148,730,485 (2012 - 142,069,048 and
139,631,290). There are no dilutive instruments outstanding.


Dividends

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, Peyto declared
and paid dividends of $0.24 per common share and $0.64 per common share,
totaling $35.7 million and $95.2 million (2012 - $0.18 and $0.54, $25.6 million
and $75.4 million). 


Comprehensive income 

Comprehensive income consists of earnings and other comprehensive income
("OCI"). OCI comprises the change in the fair value of the effective portion of
the derivatives used as hedging items in a cash flow hedge. "Accumulated other
comprehensive income" is an equity category comprised of the cumulative amounts
of OCI.


Accumulated hedging gains 

Gains and losses from cash flow hedges are accumulated until settled. These
outstanding hedging contracts are recognized in earnings on settlement with
gains and losses being recognized as a component of net revenue. Further
information on these contracts is set out in Note 8. 


7. Future performance based compensation 

Peyto awards performance based compensation to employees annually. The
performance based compensation is comprised of reserve and market value based
components.


Reserve based component

The reserves value based component is 4% of the incremental increase in value,
if any, as adjusted to reflect changes in debt, equity, dividends, general and
administrative costs and interest, of proved producing reserves calculated using
a constant price at December 31 of the current year and a discount rate of 8%. 


Market based component 

Under the market based component, rights with a three year vesting period are
allocated to employees. The number of rights outstanding at any time is not to
exceed 6% of the total number of common shares outstanding. At December 31 of
each year, all vested rights are automatically cancelled and, if applicable,
paid out in cash. Compensation is calculated as the number of vested rights
multiplied by the total of the market appreciation (over the price at the date
of grant) and associated dividends of a common share for that period.


The fair values were calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The
principal inputs to the option valuation model were:

8. Financial instruments 

Financial instrument classification and measurement

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the condensed balance sheet are
carried at amortized cost with the exception of cash and financial derivative
instruments, specifically fixed price contracts, which are carried at fair
value. There are no significant differences between the carrying amount of
financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at September 30, 2013.


The Company's areas of financial risk management and risks related to financial
instruments remained unchanged from December 31, 2012.


The fair value of the Company's cash and financial derivative instruments are
quoted in active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these
transactions according to the following hierarchy.




--  Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial
    instruments. 
--  Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
    quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
    not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs
    and value drivers are observable in active markets. 
--  Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or
    more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. 



The Company's cash and financial derivative instruments have been assessed on
the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1.


Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, financial
derivative instruments, due from private placement, current liabilities,
provision for future performance based compensation and long term debt. At
September 30, 2013, cash and financial derivative instruments are carried at
fair value. Accounts receivable, due from private placement, current liabilities
and provision for future performance based compensation approximate their fair
value due to their short term nature. The carrying value of the long term debt
approximates its fair value due to the floating rate of interest charged under
the credit facility.


Commodity price risk management 

Peyto uses derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in
commodity prices. Peyto considers all of these transactions to be effective
economic hedges for accounting purposes. 


Following is a summary of all risk management contracts in place as at September
30, 2013:
