Production:
Colombian oil contributed significantly to overall oil and gas production which grew by 28% to a record of 32,195 boepd in 1Q2018
from 25,180 boepd in 1Q2017. New production from successful appraisal and development drilling in both Tigana North, and the southern
part of Jacana, contributed most to the increase. On a consolidated basis, gas production increased by 3% compared to 1Q2017.
For further detail, please refer to 1Q2018
Operational Update published on April 11, 2018.
Reference
and Realized Oil Prices:
Brent crude oil price averaged $67.3 per bbl during 1Q2018, and the consolidated realized oil
sales price averaged $48.6 per bbl in 1Q2018, representing a 13% increase from $43.0 per bbl in 4Q2017 and a 41% increase from
$34.3 per bbl in 1Q2017. Differences between reference and realized prices are a result of commercial and transportation discounts
as well as the Vasconia price differential in Colombia, which averaged $4.1 per bbl in 1Q2018, $4.0 in 4Q2017 and $5.2 per bbl
in 1Q2017. Commercial and transportation discounts in Colombia averaged $15.0 per bbl in 1Q2018, $14.9 per bbl in 4Q2017 and $15.2
per bbl in 1Q2017.
The Company is continuously working to improve
realized oil prices, including the ongoing negotiation of existing conditions with off-takers. In Colombia, the construction of
a flowline and related facilities in the Llanos 34 block is already underway and is expected to continue improving current commercial
and transportation discounts.

Revenue:
Consolidated revenues increased by 86% to $123.9 million in 1Q2018, compared to $66.7 million in 1Q2017. The increase
was mainly due to the combination of higher realized prices and higher deliveries.
Sale of crude oil
: Consolidated oil
revenues increased by 104% to $111.0 million in 1Q2018, driven mainly by a 41% increase in realized oil prices and a 43% in oil
deliveries (compared to 1Q2017). Oil revenues represented 90% of total revenues compared to 82% in 1Q2017.
|
·
|
Colombia: In 1Q2018, oil revenues increased
by 96% to $106.5 million mainly due to higher realized prices and increased deliveries. Realized oil prices increased by 41% to
$48.2 per bbl, in line with higher Brent prices and to a lesser extent, to a smaller discount for the Vasconia marker. Oil deliveries
increased by 39% to 25,523 bopd.
|
Colombian earn-out payments (deducted
from Colombian oil revenues) increased to $4.3 million in 1Q2018, compared to $2.4 million in 1Q2017, in line with higher oil revenues
and increased production.
|
·
|
Chile: In 1Q2018, oil revenues amounted
to $4.2 million, resulting from a $57.5 per bbl realized prices and oil deliveries of 820 bopd. In 1Q2017, no oil revenues were
recorded due to negotiations with ENAP. As a result, Chilean oil production was recorded as inventories at March 31, 2017, and
subsequently delivered to ENAP in May 2017.
|
Sale of gas
: Consolidated gas revenues
increased by 5% to $12.8 million in 1Q2018 compared to $12.2 million in 1Q2017, following a 3% increase in gas prices and a 2%
increase in gas deliveries.
|
·
|
Chile: In 1Q2018, gas revenues remained
flat at $4.8 million reflecting higher gas prices, offset by lower gas deliveries. Gas prices increased by 15% to $5.1 per mcf
($30.6 per boe) in 1Q2018, in line with increased methanol prices. Gas deliveries decreased by 14% to 10,437 mcfpd (1,740 boepd).
|
|
·
|
Brazil: In 1Q2018, gas revenues increased
by 7% to $7.7 million, mainly due to higher gas deliveries as gas prices were lower. Gas deliveries increased by 11% to 15,100
mcfpd (2,517 boepd), due to a recovery in industrial demand in the northeast of the country. Gas prices decreased by 4% to $5.7
per mcf ($33.9 per boe), in line with a 4% devaluation of the local currency.
|
Commodity
risk management contracts:
GeoPark uses hedge contracts to manage risks and reduce its exposure to oil price volatility
and protect the base case work program.
For the period ending March 31, 2018, GeoPark
realized $10.6 million in lower net revenues from certain hedge contracts in place that had a floor of $50-53/bbl and a ceiling
of $55-65/bbl Brent. In accordance with accounting rules, these reduced revenues are adjusted by the change in the value of future
contracts and recorded as a $3.9 million loss.
For details regarding current contracts in place, please refer
to Commodity Risk Management Contracts below, or see Note 4 of GeoPark’s consolidated financial statements for the period
ended March 31, 2018, available on the Company’s website.
Production and Operating Costs
1
:
Consolidated operating costs per barrel were $7.2 in 1Q2018, lower than the $7.3 per bbl in 4Q2017, but higher than
the $6.2 per bbl in 1Q2017. The operating costs in 1Q2017 were approximately $1 lower than normal because Chilean oil production
was recorded as inventory while negotiations with ENAP were completed.
Consolidated operating costs increased by
$7.2 million to $19.9 million in 1Q2018 compared to 1Q2017, reflecting higher Colombian sales volumes and the reopening of mature
oil fields with higher operating costs.
The following is a breakdown of operating
costs by country:
|
·
|
Colombia: Operating costs per boe increased
by 12% to $5.4 per boe in 1Q2018 compared to $4.8 per boe in 1Q2017. The increase was due to the marginal costs of reopening mature
oil fields which have higher operating costs per barrel compared to the rest of the Llanos 34 block (of approximately $4.1 per
boe). The latter, in conjunction with a 39% increase in volumes sold, raised overall operating costs by $4.5 million to $12.4 million
in 1Q2018 compared to $7.9 million in 1Q2017. However, relative to the 4Q2017, operating costs per boe decreased by 13%.
|
|
·
|
Chile: Operating costs increased by $2.7
million to $5.4 million in 1Q2018 from $2.6 million in 1Q2017. Increased operating costs in 1Q2018 resulted from increased sales
volumes and a higher share of oil in the sales mix. Compared to 4Q2017, operating costs increased by only 2% or $0.2 million from
$5.2 million in 4Q2017. Operating costs per boe were $23.3.
|
|
·
|
Brazil: Operating costs decreased by 26%
to $1.6 million in 1Q2018 from $2.2 million in 1Q2017, mainly due to one-time maintenance costs in Manati that negatively impacted
1Q2017 figures. Operating costs per boe decreased to $7.0 per boe from $10.5 in 1Q2017.
|
Consolidated royalties increased by $9.4
million to $14.1 million in 1Q2018, mainly due to a combination of increased volumes, realized prices and the “high price”
royalty in the Jacana oil field as production passed the 5 million-barrel mark in the second quarter of 2017.
Selling
Expenses:
Consolidated selling expenses decreased to $0.3 million in 1Q2018 compared to $0.4 million in 1Q2017.
Administrative,
Geological & Geophysical Expenses:
Consolidated G&A and G&G expenses increased to $14.8 million in 1Q2018,
compared to $9.7 million in 1Q2017, due to an increased scale of operations and the continuous investment in human capital. Consolidated
G&A and G&G costs per boe increased to $5.6 per boe in 1Q2018 (vs $5.0 per boe in 1Q2017). Additionally, G&A and G&G
costs per boe remained slightly flat compared to $5.5 per boe in 4Q2017.

surged by 63% to $63.3 million, or $22.9 per boe, in 1Q2018 compared
to $38.8 million, or $19.0 per boe, in 1Q2017, mainly driven by the combination of increased production levels and higher realized
oil prices.

Depreciation:
Consolidated depreciation charges increased by 25% to $19.7 million in 1Q2018, compared to $15.7 million in 1Q2017, due to higher
volumes sold. On a per barrel basis, however, depreciation costs decreased by 8% to $7.1 per boe due to drilling successes and
increased reserves.
Write-off
of unsuccessful exploration efforts:
Consolidated write-off of unsuccessful exploration efforts was $1.8 million in
1Q2018. Amounts recorded in 1Q2018 mainly correspond to unsuccessful exploration efforts in the Potiguar basin in Brazil.
Other Income
(Expenses):
Other operating charges amounted to an $0.8 million gain in 1Q2018, compared to $0.5 million loss in 1Q2017.

EBITDA to Profit (Loss) Before Income Tax and Adjusted EBITDA per boe” included in this press release.
CONSOLIDATED NON-OPERATING
RESULTS AND PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD
Financial
Expenses:
Net financial costs decreased to $8.5 million in 1Q2018, compared to $9.2 million in 1Q2017, due to lower
bank charges and interest costs.
Foreign
Exchange:
Net foreign exchange charges amounted to a $1.7 million loss in 1Q2018 compared to a $2.9 million gain in
1Q2017, due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real and its impact on US dollar denominated net intercompany debt. In addition,
the Colombian peso appreciated by 5% impacting net local currency liabilities.
Income Tax:
Income tax expenses were $15.0 million in 1Q2018 as compared to a $16.0 million in 1Q2017.
Net Income:
Net income increased by 4.3x $24.9 million in 1Q2018 compared to $5.8 million in 1Q2017.
BALANCE SHEET
Cash and
Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $120.4 million as of March 31, 2018. Year-end 2017 cash and cash
equivalents were $134.8 million. The difference reflects cash used in investing activities of $57.8 million, cash used in financing
activities of $17.2 million, and cash generated from operating activities of $60.7 million.
Cash used in investing activities of $57.8
million includes capital expenditures related to development, appraisal and exploration activities of $21.4 million, allocated
predominantly to Colombia, and $36.4 million related to payment of outstanding amounts for the acquisition of Aguada Baguales,
El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks in the Neuquen basin in Argentina.
Cash used in financing activities of $17.2
million was composed of $13.8 million in interest payments and $3.4 million for the dividend distribution to the non-controlling
interest, LGI.
The agreement with LG International Corp
(LGI) in Colombia allows GeoPark to earn back up to 12% equity participation at the Colombian subsidiary level in accordance with
the performance of the project. GeoPark expects to pay an additional $4-5 million dividend to LGI, which would allow the Company
to earn back an initial 4%, after which the LGI non-controlling interest in Colombia would be reduced from the initial 20% to 16%.
Financial
Debt:
Total financial debt (net of issuance costs) was $419.5 million, including the $425 million 2024 notes (“2024
Notes”) issued in September 2017. Short-term debt was $0.8 million.

NOTICE
Additional information about GeoPark can
be found in the “Investor Support” section on the website at www.geo-park.com.
Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain
amounts and percentages included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included
in this press release have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts
prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing
the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this press
release may not sum due to rounding.
This press release contains certain oil
and gas metrics, including information per share, operating netback, reserve life index, and others, which do not have standardized
meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance;
however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare
to the performance in previous periods.
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release contains statements that
constitute forward-looking statements. Many of the forward looking statements contained in this press release can be identified
by the use of forward-looking words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’
‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘intend,’’
‘‘will,’’ ‘‘estimate’’ and ‘‘potential,’’ among others.
Forward-looking statements that appear in
a number of places in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations,
regarding various matters, including expected 2018 production growth and performance, operating netback per boe and capital expenditures
plan. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available
to the management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors.
Forward-looking statements speak only as
of the date they are made, and the company does not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future
developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances, or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of the risks facing the company which could affect whether these
forward-looking statements are realized, see filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Oil and gas production figures included
in this release are stated before the effect of royalties paid in kind, consumption and losses. Annual production per day is obtained
by dividing total production for 365 days.
Information about oil and gas reserves
:
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proven, probable and possible reserves
that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. GeoPark uses certain terms in this press release, such as "PRMS
Reserves" that the SEC's guidelines do not permit GeoPark from including in filings with the SEC. As a result, the
information in the company’s SEC filings with respect to reserves will differ significantly from the information in this
press release.
NPV10 for PRMS 1P, 2P and 3P reserves is
not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for SEC proved reserves.
The reserve estimates provided in this release
are estimates only, and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may eventually prove
to be greater than, or less than, the estimates provided herein. Statements relating to reserves are by their nature forward-looking
statements.
Adjusted EBITDA:
The company defines
Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the period before net finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash
items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful exploration and evaluation assets, accrual of stock options stock awards,
unrealized results on commodity risk management contracts and other non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of profit
or cash flows as determined by IFRS. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it
allows us to more effectively evaluate our
operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or
capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed above from profit for the period in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because
these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values
of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance
with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant
components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and
tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are
components of Adjusted EBITDA. The company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the IFRS financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding
period, see the accompanying financial tables.
Operating netback per boe should not be
considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, profit for the period or cash flows from operating activities as determined
in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Operating Netback
per boe are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s
cost of capital and tax structure and significant and/or recurring write-offs, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets,
none of which are components of Operating Netback per boe. The company’s computation of Operating Netback per boe may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of Operating Netback per boe to the IFRS
financial measure of profit for the year or corresponding period, see the accompanying financial tables.

its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “GeoPark”) is the exploration, development and production for oil and
gas reserves in Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Peru.
This condensed consolidated interim financial
report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 7 May 2018.
Basis of Preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial
report of GeoPark Limited is presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. It does not include
all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial
statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The condensed consolidated interim financial
report has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in the most recent annual financial statements, except

for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Whenever necessary, certain comparative
amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current period.
Taxes on income in the interim periods are
accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

In preparing these condensed consolidated
interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and
the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the

Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who
is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive
Committee. This committee is integrated by the CEO, COO, CFO and managers in charge of the Geoscience, Operations, Corporate Governance,
Finance and People departments. This committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and
allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The committee considers the business
from a geographic perspective.
The Executive Committee assesses the performance
of the operating segments based on a measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period before net
finance cost, income tax, depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash items such as impairments and write-offs of unsuccessful
exploration efforts, accrual of share-based payment, unrealized result on commodity risk management contracts and other non recurring
events. Operating Netback is equivalent to Adjusted EBITDA before cash expenses included in Administrative, Geological and Geophysical
and Other operating expenses. Other information provided to the Executive Committee is measured in a manner consistent with that
in the financial statements.

Note 4
Commodity risk management contracts
The Group entered into derivative financial
instruments to manage its exposure to oil price risk. These derivatives are zero-premium collars or zero-premium 3 ways (put spread
plus call), and were placed with major financial institutions and commodity traders. The Group entered into the derivatives under
ISDA Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes, which provide credit lines for collateral posting thus alleviating possible
liquidity needs under the instruments and protect the Group from potential non-performance risk by its counterparties. The Group’s
derivatives are accounted for as non-hedge derivatives as of 31 March 2018 and therefore all changes in the fair values of its
derivative contracts are recognized as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur.
The following table presents the Group’s
derivative contracts in force as of 31 March 2018:

Note 12 (Continued)
Borrowings (Continued)
(a) During September 2017, the Company successfully
placed US$ 425,000,000 notes which were offered to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the United
States Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the United States
Securities Act.
The Notes carry a coupon of 6.50% per annum.
Final maturity of the notes will be 21 September 2024. The Notes are secured with a pledge of all of the equity interests of the
Company, directly or indirectly, in GeoPark Colombia Coöperatie U.A. and GeoPark Chile S.A.. The debt issuance cost for this
transaction amounted to US$ 6,683,000 (debt issuance effective rate: 6.90%). The indenture governing the Notes due 2024 includes
incurrence test covenants that provides among other things, that, during the first two years from the issuance date, the Net Debt
to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not exceed 3.5 times and the Adjusted EBITDA to Interest ratio should exceed 2 times. Failure to
comply with the incurrence test covenants does not trigger an event of default. However, this situation may limit the Company’s
capacity to incur additional indebtedness, as specified in the indenture governing the Notes. Incurrence covenants as opposed to
maintenance covenants must be tested by the Company before incurring additional debt or performing certain corporate actions including
but not limited to dividend payments, restricted payments and others. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements, the Company is in compliance of all the indenture’s provisions and covenants.
(b) During February 2016, GeoPark executed
a loan agreement with Banco de Crédito e Inversiones for US$ 186,000 to finance the acquisition of vehicles for the
Chilean operation. The interest rate applicable to this loan is 4.14% per annum. The interest and the principal are paid on a monthly
basis, with final maturity on February 2019.
As of the date of these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Group has available credit lines for over US$ 58,800,000.

Note 15
Changes in accounting policies
This note explains the impact of the adoption
of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue form Contracts with Customers on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements
and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied
in prior periods.
|
(a)
|
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
|
IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39
related to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial
instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
The adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018
resulted in changes in accounting policies but no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
GEOPARK LIMITED
31 MARCH 2018
Note 15 (Continued)
Changes in accounting policies (Continued)
From 1 January 2018, the Group applies the
following accounting policy in relation to its financial assets.
Financial assets are divided into the following
categories: amortised cost; financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income.
The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the
cash flows. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
All financial assets not at fair value through
profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at
fair value through profit or loss, if any, are expensed to profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets occurs
when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards
of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken at each balance sheet date.
Interest and other cash flows resulting
from holding financial assets are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income when receivable, regardless of how the related
carrying amount of financial assets is measured.
Amortised cost are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except
for maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. These financial
assets comprise trade receivables, prepayments and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Position. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading
the receivables. These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision
for impairment, if applicable. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Income. All of the Group’s financial assets are classified as amortised cost.
The Group assesses on a forward looking
basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there
has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS
9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
|
(b)
|
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
|
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 from 1 January
2018, which resulted in no changes in accounting policies or adjustments to the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial
statements.
GEOPARK LIMITED
31 MARCH 2018
Note 16
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Accounting policies for financial instruments
have been applied to classify as either: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, or fair value through profit
and loss. For financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value, IFRS 13 requires a
disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other
than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices)
or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for
the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
This note provides an update on the judgements
and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.
(a) Fair value hierarchy
The following table presents the Group’s
financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 31 March 2018 and 31 December 2017 on a recurring

Note 16 (Continued)
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
(Continued)
(b) Valuation techniques used to determine
fair values
Specific valuation techniques used to value
financial instruments include:
|
·
|
The use of quoted market prices or dealer
quotes for similar instruments.
|
|
·
|
The market-to-market fair value of the
Group's outstanding derivative instruments is based on independently provided market rates and determined using standard valuation
techniques, including the impact of counterparty credit risk and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
|
|
·
|
The fair value of the remaining financial
instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level
2.
|
(c) Fair values of other financial instruments
(unrecognised)
The Group also has a number of financial
instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are
not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates
or the instruments are short-term in nature.
Borrowings are comprised primarily of fixed
rate debt and variable rate debt with a short term portion where interest has already been fixed. They are classified under other
financial liabilities and measured at their amortized cost. The Group estimates that the fair value of its main financial liabilities
is approximately 99.9 % of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of 31 March 2018. Fair values were calculated using
discounted cash flow analysis.
Note 17
Capital commitments
Capital commitments are detailed in Note
32 (b) to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2017. The following updates have taken place during the
three-month period ended 31 March 2018:
Brazil
The Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum,
Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”) extended the first exploratory period to fulfill our commitments in the SEAL-T-268
y REC-T-94 Blocks until 7 February 2020. The remaining commitments in the blocks amounts to US$ 160,000 and US$ 970,000, respectively.
GeoPark was awarded one exploratory block,
POT-T-785, in the Potiguar Basin. The assumed commitment is equivalent to acquiring 3D Seismic and performing geochemical analysis
for a total amount of approximately US$ 400,000, during the first exploratory period ending 29 January 2023.
As of the date of these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Group has already fulfilled its commitments in the POT-T-619 Block.
GEOPARK LIMITED

Note 18
Business transactions
On 27 March 2018, GeoPark acquired a 100%
working interest and operatorship of the Aguada Baguales, El Porvenir and Puesto Touquet blocks, which are located in the Neuquen
Basin, for a total consideration of US$ 52,000,000, to be adjusted for working capital.
In accordance with the acquisition method
of accounting, the acquisition cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based primarily upon
their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. An income approach (being the net present value of expected future cash
flows) was adopted to determine the fair values of the mineral interest. Estimates of expected future cash flows reflect estimates
of projected future revenues, production costs and capital expenditures based on our business model. The excess of acquisition
cost, if any, over the net identifiable assets acquired represents goodwill.
The purchase price allocation performed
is preliminary, since the valuation process is ongoing. This process will be completed during 2018.
The following table summarises the combined
consideration paid for the acquired blocks, the preliminary allocation of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
for these transactions:

On
December 2017, GeoPark granted a security deposit of US$ 15,600,000. On March 2018, the
Group completed the total consideration with an additional payment of US$ 36,400,000.
As of the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements,
the determination of the adjustment for working capital is in process. The preliminary
calculation of this adjustment is around US$ 3,000,000 to be collected by GeoPark.
|
As a consequence of this transaction, the
Group considers that there is sufficient evidence of future taxable profits to offset tax losses and recognise a deferred tax asset
for US$ 1,346,000 in respect of tax losses from previous years which can be utilised against future taxable profit.
