In this latter case, a table indicating the chapters where the requirements contained in this annex are incorporated must be included.

In the preparation of the annual report, clear and easy-to-understand language must always be used, avoiding technical terms or complicated legal formalisms that cannot be easily understood by a person who does not have specialized knowledge in the subject matter.

DISCLOSURE OF ECONOMIC INTERESTS DERIVED FROM PARTICIPATION IN

EXPLORATION AND EXTRACTION ACTIVITIES OF HYDROCARBONS

A. Standardized valuation of future cash flows representing the economic interest of the issuer

The issuer must accompany its annual report, in an aggregated manner, the standardized valuation of future cash flows representing the economic interest to which it is entitled for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons it carries out under the contracts for exploration and extraction or assignments in which it participates. To this effect, the following must be revealed:

Future cash inflows. These are the revenues the Issuer will receive for carrying out the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons under a contract for exploration and extraction or an assignment. Future cash inflows must be calculated from the consideration or revenues to which the issuer is entitled under the contract for exploration and extraction or the assignment, as applicable, according to the conditions applicable in each case, considering for purposes of said calculation the current price and the volume of proved hydrocarbon reserves. Future changes in prices should only be considered to the extent they are provided for in contractual agreements for the marketing of hydrocarbons existing at the end of the year.

Future development and production costs. They must be calculated in accordance with what is established in the guidelines through the estimation of expenses to be incurred during the development and extraction of proved hydrocarbon reserves, based on costs at the end of the year and assuming continuity in existing economic conditions. If estimated development costs are significant in accordance with what is established in the guidelines, they must be presented separately from estimated production costs. In this item, royalties and contractual fees for the exploratory phase, as well as rights applicable to assignments whose definition base is different from profit, which the issuer must pay to the State in cash, must be included.

Future income tax payments. They must be calculated by applying the corresponding rate to future cash inflows minus future development and production costs. Future income tax payments could originate tax credits and provisions related to the reported economic interest. In this item, any right or consideration paid in cash to the State, whose definition base is profit, must be included.

Future payments of tax for the exploration and extraction activity of hydrocarbons. They must be calculated in the terms established in Title Four of the Hydrocarbon Revenue Law.

Net future cash flows representing the economic interest. They result from deducting from future cash inflows, future development and production costs, future income tax payments and future payments of tax for the exploration and extraction activity of hydrocarbons.

Discount. This amount will result from the application of a discount rate of 10 percent annually to reflect the present value of future cash flows representing the economic interest.

Standardized valuation of discounted future cash flows representing the economic interest. This amount represents the future cash flows representing the economic interest reduced by the calculated discount.

The calculation of the cash flows reported in accordance with this section must be carried out based on the values estimated by the reserve operator certified by the independent expert.

In the case of calculations corresponding to the second and third year of the certification cycle referred to in the guidelines, when preparing the information required in this section, issuers must consider the volume certified in accordance with the guidelines, deducted by the volume effectively extracted to the date of the report, that is, the remaining reserves on that date. In the case of those issuers that in addition to the certifications required in the guidelines, have annual certifications granted in accordance with what is provided in the guidelines, they may use such certifications in the determination of their economic interest.

The amounts that must be revealed in accordance with what is established in this section will result from the sum of the estimated future cash flows for each contract for exploration and extraction and each assignment in which the Issuer participates. The standardized valuation of future cash flows must represent the economic interest to which the issuer is entitled as consideration, in the case of contracts for exploration and extraction, or as income it expects to obtain, in the case of assignments.

Additionally, if a significant portion of the future cash flows representing the discounted economic interest reported is attributable, directly or indirectly, to a non-controlling interest, this fact must be revealed, as well as the approximate portion corresponding to said non-controlling interest.

Likewise, if the financial statements include investments recognized through the equity method, the valuation of the future cash flows representing the economic interest of the investee resulting from the consideration or revenues derived from the extraction, as applicable, of a contract for exploration and extraction or an assignment, of proved hydrocarbon reserves, must not be included in the disclosure of the valuation of future cash flows representing the economic interest of the issuer.

Any change in the aggregate of the future cash flows representing the economic interest of the issuer must be revealed for the reporting year. The following sources of change must be presented separately if individually significant:

Net change in sales and transfer prices, as well as in production costs related to future extraction.

Changes in estimated future development costs.

Sales and transfers of oil and gas produced during the period.

Net change derived from extensions, discoveries and improvements in recovery.

Net change derived from purchases and sales of hydrocarbons.

Net change derived from revisions in estimated quantities.

Previously estimated development costs and incurred during the period.

Addition of the initial discount, which is the increase in the value of cash flows derived from the passage of time.

Other unspecified changes.

Net changes in income taxes.

When estimating the amounts for each of the above categories, the effects of changes in prices and costs must be calculated before estimating the effects of changes in the volume of proven reserves used for the calculation of the economic interest, in accordance with the guidelines established. As a result, changes in said volume must be determined at the costs and prices of the end of the year. The change in income taxes must reflect the effect of income taxes incurred during the period as well as the change in future expenses for income taxes. All changes, except for income taxes, must be reported before taxes.

Finally, such additional information necessary to prevent the disclosure of the standardized valuation of future cash flows representing the economic interest of the issuer, and its changes, from being misleading must be revealed.

If the issuer opts to disclose its economic interest derived from activities to develop and extract the volume of probable or possible reserves, it must determine the standardized valuation of the future cash flows representing its economic interest resulting from the consideration or income derived from extraction, depending on whether it is an exploration and extraction contract or an assignment, with respect to such categories of reserves.

The terms of consolidation, participation method, non-controlling interest, investee, subsidiary, as well as the term income taxes referred to in this section, shall be understood in the context of what is established in the International Financial Reporting Standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, mandatory application in accordance with these provisions.

Disclosure of economic interests that the issuer will have derived from the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons under exploration and extraction contracts and assignments

The issuer must disclose in aggregate, the discounted economic interest, determined in accordance with Section A of this Annex, associated with future extraction to be carried out for each category of reserves corresponding to the exploration and extraction contracts or assignments in which it participates. Such disclosure must include both monetary and volume terms, according to the following table.

For the purposes of the above, it must be calculated by dividing the discounted economic interest corresponding to each category of reserves by the current price, considering the proportion of each type of hydrocarbon in accordance with the following formula:

Additionally, in the event that the issuer opts to disclose its economic interest derived from activities to develop and extract the volume of probable and possible reserves, it must expose the uncertainty relative to such estimated reserves, as well as include it as a risk factor in the corresponding section of the annual report.

The issuer, when disclosing the economic interest to which it is entitled by the extraction of undeveloped proven reserves, in accordance with the above tables, must include the following disclosures:

The economic interest of the issuer, as well as the respective equivalent volume, resulting from the consideration, in the case of an exploration and extraction contract, or from the income, in the case of an assignment, to which it is entitled derived from the extraction of estimated undeveloped proven reserves at the end of the year. The economic interest for the extraction of undeveloped proven reserves must be estimated as the additional value to that to which the issuer is entitled for the extraction of developed proven reserves, such that the arithmetic sum of the economic interest derived from developed and undeveloped proven reserves coincides with the economic interest associated with the extraction of total proven reserves.
The significant changes in the economic interest, and in the respective equivalent volume, associated with the extraction of undeveloped proven reserves that have occurred during the year, including changes caused by the reclassification of undeveloped proven reserves to developed proven reserves.
The investments and progress made under the respective exploration and extraction contract or assignment during the year in order to reclassify undeveloped proven reserves into developed proven reserves.
The reasons why significant volumes of the undeveloped proven reserves category have remained undeveloped for 5 years or more, after having been disclosed as such.

On the other hand, the issuer must list all exploration and extraction contracts or assignments from which the reported economic interest is derived. Likewise, the issuer must include, both in monetary terms and in the volume of natural gas, oil, and condensates, the discounted economic interest for each category of reserves determined in accordance with Section A of this Annex, corresponding to the listed contracts and assignments. In the case of contracts, the issuer must disclose the economic interest for each contract, while in the case of assignments, the issuer must report the aggregated economic interest by type of region referred to in the Hydrocarbons Revenue Law.

Likewise, as a complement to the calculation of its economic interest, it may disclose the total reserve estimates associated with the exploration and extraction contracts and assignments, certified in accordance with the provisions of the guidelines.

In any disclosure disseminated by the issuer, it must be stated that the reserves in the subsurface are property of the Nation.

The first time the issuer discloses the economic interests derived from the exploration and extraction contract it has signed, or from the assignment granted to it, as well as when it discloses significant increases in its estimates, it must include a general explanation of the technologies used to establish an appropriate level of certainty to estimate its economic interest. It will not be necessary for the issuer to identify the fields in particular.

Likewise, it must disclose and describe the internal controls that the issuer applies when estimating its economic interests, as well as disclose the accreditations of the technical personnel primarily responsible for supervising that the preparation of reserve estimates is carried out in accordance with the guidelines.

With respect to the independent expert who prepares or conducts the certification of reserves in accordance with the guidelines, or any review process, the issuer must inform that the technical personnel responsible for such certification is registered in the CNH's register of independent third parties, and include a report from the independent expert containing those of the following disclosures that are applicable to the type of document:

The purpose of the report and who prepares it;
The effective date of the report and the date on which it was concluded;
The assumptions, data, methods, and procedures used, as well as a statement that all of these are appropriate for the purposes of the report;
The explanation of the main economic assumptions used in the quantification of reserves;
The explanation of the possible effects of regulation on the issuer's ability to recover the estimated reserves;
The explanation of the uncertainties inherent in the estimated reserves;
The statement that the independent expert certifying has used all methods and procedures considered necessary under the circumstances to prepare the report and consistent with the guidelines;
A brief summary of the independent expert's conclusions regarding the estimated reserves, and
The signature of the independent expert certifying.

Likewise, the changes that occurred during the year in the net equivalent volumes to the issuer's economic interest from activities carried out under an exploration and extraction contract or an assignment must be disclosed, which is determined, in each case, based on the proven hydrocarbon reserves associated with said exploration and extraction contracts or assignments.

The volumes disclosed must not include the issuer's participation as an independent buyer, intermediary, importer, or any other distinct from the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons.

When reporting the volumes and the changes in them, oil, condensates, and natural gas liquids must be stated in barrels, and natural gas must be presented in cubic feet.

If significant economic events or significant uncertainties occur that affect particular components of the issuer's economic interests, an explanation thereof must be included.

The figures disclosed in accordance with this Annex must be consistent with the guidelines and comply with the conditions of the corresponding exploration and extraction contracts or assignments.

Must coincide with the sum of the economic interest derived from developed and undeveloped proven reserves. For this purpose, the economic interest for the extraction of undeveloped proven reserves disclosed must correspond to the additional economic interest to that to which one is entitled for the extraction of developed proven reserves.
