Jadestone Energy

Results for the Period Ending September 30, 2018

November 28, 2018-Singapore: Jadestone Energy Inc. (AIM:JSE, TSXV:JSE) ("Jadestone" or the "Company"), an independent oil and gas production company focused on the Asia Pacific region, reported today its condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Third quarter highlights

Operational

-- Completed a transformational inorganic acquisition delivering material cashflow, reserves and production. The Montara Assets acquisition was completed on September 28, 2018 from certain subsidiaries of PTT Exploration and Production pcl ("PTTEP") adding 28.2 mmbbls of 2P reserves, as of January 2018, for a net cash consideration of US$133.1mm, after receipt from PTTEP of US$75.5mm of cash at closing, and other customary working capital adjustments;

-- Successfully completed an over-subscribed placing and admitted for trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company issued 239.7mm new common shares on August 8, 2018, raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP83.9mm;

-- Secured access to senior debt financing at LIBOR + 3%. Jadestone entered into a reserve-based loan ("RBL") agreement on August 2, 2018 borrowing US$120.0mm and, at the same time, simplified its balance sheet by redeeming the 2016 convertible bond facility for US$17.4mm;

-- Hedged half of Montara's production for two years at an average price of $72/bbl. The Company entered into a capped swap covering the first 24 months of Montara's planned 2PD production, at swap prices significantly above current spot oil prices (US$78.26/bbl for Q4 2018, US$71.72/bbl for 2019, and US$68.45/bbl for the first three quarters of 2020). Additionally, approximately two thirds of the swapped barrels in 2019 and 2020 have upside price participation via purchased calls with strike prices set at US$80/bbl for 2019 and US$85/bbl for 2020;

-- Achieved 100% facility uptime at Stag. Production operations at Stag continued safely throughout the third quarter, reaching another milestone of 2,297 days without a lost time incident. Under Jadestone, the asset has consistently operated within the parameters of its safety case, as agreed with NOPSEMA the Australian offshore regulator, and with zero enforcement notices;

-- Increased Stag production by over 9%. Average production from Stag during Q3 was 3,080 bbls/d (Q2 2018: 2,814 bbls/d), mainly due to higher uptime;

Financial

-- Locked in sales at higher oil prices achieving a circa 80% jump in revenue. During the third quarter, there were two Stag liftings, totalling 422,267 bbls, generating sales revenue of US$32.7mm in the third quarter, compared to US$18.3mm in the June quarter from one lifting of 200,890 bbls;

-- Strong cash position of US$65.3mm inclusive of RBL debt service reserve, and with a maiden net profit before tax during the quarter of US$3.2mm. The previous quarter saw a net loss before tax of US$3.9mm and a net loss of US$3.6mm on Q3 2017;

-- Continued cost vigilance giving rise to further reductions in per unit operating costs. Per unit production costs at Stag fell a further 9% to US$30.13/bbl before workovers and repair costs;

-- Reported a record US$7mm of quarterly cash from operations. Jadestone reports record cash from operations arising from higher uptime, higher production, greater revenue, higher oil prices and lower costs.

Outlook

-- As of November 1, 2018, Montara production was halted by the operator to undertake an inspection and maintenance shutdown, with a focus on clearing a backlog of inspection tasks. Work is progressing smoothly, and the Company anticipates the operator will restart production operations in early December;

-- Infill drilling programme to commence in 2019. Based on the operators' latest rig availability schedule infill drilling at Stag will commence in Q1 2019, with infill drilling at Montara to begin following completion of regulatory approvals, which are anticipated in H1 2019;

-- Continue to progress the FEED, FDP technical studies, and negotiation of the pertinent commercial agreements associated with the Nam Du/U Minh gas developments in Vietnam, targeting FID in H2 2019.

Paul Blakeley, President and CEO, commented:

"This was a transformational quarter for Jadestone, and one that represents great progress in adding significant value for our shareholders through deployment of our stated strategy. Our progress in Q3 has delivered a resilient business, with an even stronger balance sheet, low debt, and a steady stream of cash generation, backed by an attractive level of locked-in hedges.

"I am delighted to have completed our acquisition of the Montara Assets just before quarter end, which has resulted in a three-fold increase in the size of our business. Our ability to layer in high quality inorganic opportunities is a key strand in the Jadestone strategy, and Montara is testament to the deep opportunity set we see in the Asia Pacific region.

"The financing arrangements we completed during the quarter, including an oversubscribed equity placement, AIM admission, and senior secured debt facility, reflect market recognition of the high quality portfolio we are building. In just over two years, we have transformed the Company into a high value, cash generative business, with strong support from the capital markets, including both debt and equity investors.

"Production at Stag continued safely throughout the quarter and, with 100% uptime, is becoming a very steady and reliable cash generating asset. Stag's performance underscores our ability to efficiently operate second-phase offshore production assets, while containing costs and steadfastly working within the parameters of the safety case, as agreed with the Australian regulator NOPSEMA.

"We are now starting to exert similar early influence on the Montara Assets during the transitional phase while the seller PTTEP remains operator. Having seconded a number of key operational leaders from Jadestone into the current operation, we are now clearing a maintenance and inspection backlog at Montara which will mean that when we assume operatorship next year, we will inherit a high reliability facility that we can operate with confidence, with improved uptime performance and without a planned major maintenance shutdown until at least the second half of 2020."

Operations update

Stag Oilfield (shallow water, offshore Australia)

The Company had two crude oil liftings during the third quarter, for a total sales production of 422,267 bbls, which is more than double the sales volume from a single lifting in the June 2018 quarter. This has resulted in substantially higher revenue during the quarter, and although it has also resulted in an increase in production costs, on a per unit basis, Stag opex has fallen to US$30.13/bbl from US$33.09 in the June quarter.

Stag reported 100% uptime during the quarter, for the first time since Jadestone acquired the asset in Q4 2016. The Company is continuing to pursue opportunities to enhance value at Stag, including drilling its first infill well. The well location and drilling slot have been selected, and well design is in advanced planning stages. Based on the latest rig schedule information, the well is now expected to be drilled in the first half of 2019.

Montara (shallow water, offshore Australia)

As of the end of the quarter, Jadestone had owned the Montara asset for just three days. Production during that period was 7,585 bbls/d.

Prior to completing the Montara Assets acquisition on September 28, 2018, Jadestone had begun influencing the outcome of key issues, including reinstatement of the asset's FPSO class.

PTTEP continues to operate the field under an operator and transitional services agreement, until regulatory approvals and transfers are finalised. The Company expects this process to be complete in the first half of 2019, at which time Jadestone will become the operator. However, with senior secondees now in place, the transition to a Jadestone operating business is expected to be as seamless as possible.

As of November 1, 2018, Montara production was halted to undertake an inspection and maintenance shutdown, with a focus on clearing a backlog of inspection tasks. Work is progressing smoothly, and the Company anticipates the operator will restart production operations in early December. The decision to advance a 2019 shutdown to now, was made as a result of understanding the maintenance management backlog and a need to get Montara in a state of reliable and consistent operational delivery. The long-term value of the Montara Assets will likely be improved by the current maintenance and inspection work.

Nam Du/U Minh (shallow water, offshore Vietnam)

The Company has expanded the Nam Du/U Minh project management team and is progressing the FEED, FDP technical studies, and negotiation of the pertinent commercial agreements, including the life-of-field gas sales and purchase agreement. Jadestone anticipates that this work will culminate in a final investment decision in H2 2019.

Financial overview

Jadestone generated adjusted EBITDAX of US$11.9mm for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to an adjusted EBITDAX of US$0.3mm in the second quarter, and a negative EBITDAX of US$2.9 mm in the same period a year earlier.

On an unadjusted basis, the Company reported its maiden net profit before tax of US$3.2mm, compared to a net loss before tax of US$3.9mm in the prior quarter, and a net loss of US$3.6mm in the third quarter of last year.

Both unadjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDAX were increased due to higher average realised prices, higher lifted volumes during the quarter, and lower per unit production costs.

Investing activities for the quarter amounted to a cash outflow of US$134.5mm, which is primarily due to the Montara Asset acquisition. This was more than offset by the US$185.8mm of net cash from financing activities arising from the US$110mm new equity issued in conjunction with the AIM admission, and the new US$120.0mm reserve based loan.

At the end of the quarter, the Company had US$45.7mm cash, plus a further US$28.6mm of debt service reserve cash and other restricted cash.

Cautionary statements

A barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") is determined by converting a volume of natural gas to barrels using the ratios of six thousand cubic feet ("mcf") to one barrel. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilising a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements and information (collectively "forward-looking statements"), within the meaning of the applicable Canadian securities legislation, as well as other applicable international securities laws. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are forward-looking and not historical facts.

Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of phrases such as "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "is targeting", "estimated", "intend", "plan", "guidance", "objective", "projection", "aim", "goals", "target", "schedules", and "outlook").

In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to statements regarding the restart of Montara production, transfer of Montara operatorship, timing of the Stag infill well, and final investment decision for Nam Du/U Minh.

Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to Jadestone. The forward-looking information contained in this news release speaks only as of the date hereof. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update the information, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Jadestone Energy Inc. (the "Company" or "Jadestone") is an oil and gas company incorporated in Canada.

The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Ventures Exchange ("TSX-V") and on August 8, 2018 the company listed on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM"), a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange. Pursuant to the listing on AIM, the Company issued 239,711,474 new ordinary common shares raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP83.9 million at a price of 35 pence per share. The Company trades on both markets under the symbol "JSE".

The financial statements are expressed in United States Dollars ("US$").

The Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are engaged in production, development, and exploration and appraisal activities in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The Company's current producing assets are in the Carnarvon and Vulcan basins, offshore Western Australia.

The Company's head office is located at 3 Anson Road, #13-01 Springleaf Tower, Singapore 079909. The registered office of the Company is 10th Floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2T5, Canada.

On September 28, 2018, the Company acquired the Montara Assets, located in shallow water offshore Australia, from PTTEP Australasia. Following completion, the Company obtained control and 100% beneficial ownership. PTTEP Australia was contracted to continue to operate the field under an operator and transitional service agreement until regulatory approvals are finalised. The Company acquired the Montara Assets for a consideration of US$149.1 million consisting of cash payments on September 28, 2018 of US$133.1 million and a further US$16.0 million for future estimated contingent payments.

On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into a reserve based lending agreement to borrow US$120.0 million, repayable quarterly over the period to and including March 31, 2021. The first repayment is due on December 31, 2018. The Company drew down the facility on September 27, 2018, as part of the funding for the Montara Assets.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. They do not contain all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards for annual financial statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with Jadestone's audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017.

These Financial Statements were approved for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on November 28, 2018 on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.

Basis of measurement

These Financial Statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value, which are stated at their fair values. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

New Financial Reporting Standards adopted

Information on the implementation of new accounting standards is included in the Company's audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Basis of Preparation), and also as outlined below:

The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time with effect from January 1, 2018.

- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 provides a classification and measurement approach for financial assets and liabilities based on the business model on which they are managed and the cash flows associated with each financial asset or liability. Under the standard, financial assets are classified as measured at amortised cost, fair value through the profit and loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income. For financial liabilities, the classifications of IAS 39 were largely unchanged. While the Group's financial assets have been reclassified into the categories defined by IFRS 9, the Group has not identified any impacts on the measurement of its financial assets and liabilities as a result of the new classification and measurement requirements.

The impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost are recognised on an expected loss basis based on future credit risk information and assumptions. Movements in the expected loss reserve are recognised in the income statement. Due to the short term nature and quality of the financial assets, the company has not recognised any impacts since the adoption of IFRS 9.

For hedge accounting, the Company has adopted and applied the policy described below. There were no hedge contracts in place prior to January 1, 2018, and no prior period adjustments are required since adopting IFRS 9.

Hedge accounting

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either:

- Fair value hedges where they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or

- Cash flow hedges where they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecasted transaction.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting, along with the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. To achieve hedge accounting, the relationships must be expected to be highly effective and are assessed on an ongoing basis, to determine that they continue to meet the risk management objective.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires, is sold, terminates, is exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) remains in hedge reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss for the year.

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments that are classified as cash flow hedges, is recognised in OCI, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. The ineffective portion relating to commodity contracts is recognised in other operating income or expenses.

Jadestone Energy Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

Amounts recognised as OCI are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

The group has adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers from January 1, 2018. Revenue is recognised from customer contracts when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of goods or services. The good or service is deemed to have been performed when the customer takes control of that good or service.

The transfer of control of oil and gas commodities sold by the group occurs when title passes with the customer taking physical possession at which time the contractual obligations are fulfilled. The accounting for revenue under IFRS 15 does not, therefore represent a change from the Group's previous practice of recognising revenue from sales contracts with customers.

11. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Montara Assets

On September 28, 2018, Jadestone Energy (Eagle) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, closed the acquisition of 100% of the Montara Assets.

The US$149.1 million consideration comprised US$133.1 million in cash and US$16.0 million in future contingent payments. The contingent payments are based on the average annual Brent crude price exceeding US$80.0/bbl in one or both of 2019 and 2020, and are accounted for at fair value. The earliest potential payment is January 2020.

The fair value assessment of the Montara identifiable assets and liabilities, acquired as at the date of acquisition, have been reviewed in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Details of the Group's accounting policies in relation to Business Combinations are contained in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Basis of Preparations, in the audited financials statements for the period ended December 31, 2017.

The fair value of the assets acquired have been calculated using valuation techniques based on discounted cashflows, using forward curve commodity prices, a discount rate based on market observable data, and cost and production profiles.

The amounts are estimates made by management at the time of preparation of these financial statements. Amendments may be made to these amounts as values subject to estimate are finalised.

From the date of acquisition, September 28, 2018, Montara recorded a net loss after tax of US$1.5 million including one-off project fees associated with the acquisition of US$1.7 million, and operating expenses of US$0.3 million, offset by tax credits of US$0.5 million. No revenues were recognised in the period as the first lifting occurred in October 2018.

The corporate cost associated with the acquisition amounted to US$7.8 million, and has been expensed to other expenses in the consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income.

The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Montara field as at the acquisition date were:

19. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS AND WARRANTS

The total expense arising from share-based payment recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was US$0.4 million (nine months ended September 30, 2017: US$0.4 million).

On August 19, 2015, the Company adopted, as approved by shareholders, a stock incentive plan (the "Plan") which establishes a rolling number of shares issuable under the plan in the amount of 10% of the Company's issued shares at the date of grant. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of each option granted cannot be less than the market price at the date of grant, or such other price as may be required by TSX-V. Options under the plan can have a term of up to 10 years, with vesting provisions determined by the directors in accordance with TSX-V policies for Tier 2 Issuers.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions, was used to estimate the fair value of the following options granted during the nine months to September 30, 2018:

The Group's asset restoration obligations ("ARO") result from the future costs of decommissioning the Stag oilfield facilities and Montara assets which are expected to be incurred up to 2034 and 2031. The balance of the provision is the discounted present value of the estimated future cost.

The present value of the ARO has been calculated based on the blended estimated Australian and United States risk free rate of

2.86% (Australian risk free rate of 2.67% and United States risk free rate of 3.05%) and after allowing for an inflation rate of

2.25% as at September 30, 2018.

Included in other payables is US$15.8 million related to the potential contingent payments that could crystallise at Montara. The Company has reviewed and assessed all of the contingent payments and determined that the following two payments could crystallise:

a) Annual average Brent crude price exceeding US$80/bbl in 2019: US$20.0 million

b) Annual average Brent crude price exceeding US$80/bbl in 2020: US$10.0 million

The fair value has been reviewed and assessed using a monti carlo simulation model, determining a fair value of US$15.8 million for the two payments 2019: US$10.8 million and 2020: US$5.0 million.

27. BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Jadestone, like all companies in the oil and gas industry, operates in an environment subject to inherent risks. Many of those risks are beyond the ability of a company's control, including those associated with exploring for, developing and producing economic quantities of hydrocarbons, volatile commodity prices, governmental regulations and environmental matters.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between US$ and foreign currencies will affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial assets or liabilities.

Cash and bank balances are generally held in the currency of likely future expenditures to minimise the impact of currency fluctuations. It is the Company's normal practice to hold the majority of funds in US$ in order to match the Group's revenue and expenditures. The Company reserve based lending facility is US$ denominated.

In addition to US$, the Company transacts in various currencies, including Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars, Indonesian Rupiah, Vietnamese Dong, and Malaysian Ringgit. No sensitivity analysis has been prepared for carrying amounts of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in these foreign currencies as the Company does not expect any material effect arising from reasonably possible changes to the exchange rate for these foreign currencies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily due to the Company's long term debt obligations with rates that are fixed to LIBOR.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the Company's exposure to an interest rate movement assuming the net debt at the period end has been outstanding for the full year.

Jadestone Energy Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

For gross debt outstanding of US$120.0 million at September 30, 2018, if interest rates had increased or decreased by 1% and all other variables remained constant, the Company's quarterly net income/(loss) would have increased or decreased by US$0.2 million (2017: nil).

Commodity price risk

The Group's earnings are affected by changes in oil and gas prices. The Group manages this risk by monitoring oil and gas prices and entering into commodity hedges against fluctuations in oil prices if considered appropriate. As at September 30, 2018, the Group had entered into a commodity hedge to hedge 350,000 bbls of crude oil production, over the period January 2, 2018 to June 30, 2018 at Brent ICE crude fixed at US$64.60/bbl and another 350,000 bbls oil hedge, over the period July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, at Brent ICE crude fixed at US$65.00/bbl.

As part of the Montara acquisition, the Company has hedged 50% of 2PD planned production volumes for the 24 months to September 2020. The hedge is a capped swap, providing downside price protection while allowing for participation in higher commodity prices via purchased call options. The call strike is set at US$80/bbl in 2019 and US$85/bbl for the first three quarters of 2020. The swap price is set at US$78.26/bbl for Q4 2018, US$71.72/bbl for 2019 and US$68.45/bbl for the nine months to September 2020. Approximately two thirds of the swapped barrels in 2019 and 2020 have upside price participation via purchased calls. The effective date of the hedge contracts is October 1, 2018, and hence there are no financial impacts reflected in the Q3 2018 financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the loss on cash flow hedges recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income amounted to net of tax of US$2.0 million and the loss on cash flow hedges recognised in the income statement amounted to net of tax of US$4.6 million. As at September 30, 2018 the financial liability of the cash flow hedge amounted to US$4.9 million.

Commodity Price Sensitivity

The results of operations and cash flows of oil and gas production can vary significantly with fluctuations in the market prices of oil and/or natural gas. These are affected by factors outside the Group's control, including the market forces of supply and demand, regulatory and political actions of governments, and attempts of international cartels to control or influence prices, among a range of other factors.

The table below summarises the impact on profit/(loss) before tax, and on equity, from changes in commodity prices on the fair value of derivative financial instruments. The analysis is based on the assumption that the crude oil price moves 10%, with all other variables held constant. Reasonably possible movements in commodity prices were determined based on a review of recent historical prices and current economic forecasters' estimates.

Liquidity risk

The company has reduced the loss after tax for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 by US$10.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net cash from/(used in) operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 is US$14.7 million compared to US$14.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The company's net current assets as at September 30, 2018 are US$42.5.5 million (December, 2017: US$13.1 million). The increase is predominately due to the acquisition of Montara.

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings at the reporting date, based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due are equal to their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting is not significant.
