Letter to Shareholders

Dear fellow Shareholders,

Following an outstanding year of performance in 2016, the first quarter of 2017 has continued this trend and delivered excellent results at or above expectations.

Increased production guidance for 2017

Lundin Petroleum's production for the first quarter was 82.6 Mboepd, which is at the upper end of our 2017 first quarter guidance with cash operating costs well below USD 5 per barrel, excluding the non-Norwegian producing assets that were spun-off to International Petroleum Corporation (IPC) in April. These results are mainly driven by the performance from our operated Edvard Grieg and our non-operated Alvheim fields. Edvard Grieg continues to outperform both at subsurface and facilities level. Also, during the first quarter of this year, an important milestone was achieved when the gross platform oil design capacity at the Edvard Grieg field was successfully raised from 126 to 145 Mbopd, a 15 percent increase. Facility uptime continues to exceed expectations while maintaining a very high safety performance. This outstanding performance has led us to revise Lundin Petroleum's full year production guidance to between 75 and 85 Mboepd and to reduce our cash operating cost guidance for the full year to USD 4.90 per barrel, excluding the IPC assets.

We also successfully completed the Edvard Grieg Southwest appraisal well during the first quarter. The well results were encouraging and will most likely lead to a further field reserves increase by year end.

Johan Sverdrup development on track

On the project development side, the world class Johan Sverdrup development continues to progress according to plan with the Phase 2 concept selection being agreed in the first quarter. We also continue to see significant cost reductions with the latest Phase 2 cost estimate down to between NOK 40 and 55 billion, approximately half of the estimate from when the plan of development was submitted.

Strategic exploration position in the southern Barents Sea

In parallel, our organic growth-led strategy is continuing to deliver with the recently announced Filicudi discovery located on the western flank of the Loppa High in the southern Barents Sea. The discovery has upgraded the overall prospectivity in the area and has established the Filicudi trend, where we will see further drilling activities in the near future. This in addition to the well-established Loppa High and the southeastern trends also located in the southern Barents Sea where the Børselv and the Korpfjell prospects will be drilled this year.

Focus on organic growth in Norway

Finally, the spin-off of the non-Norwegian assets into IPC was completed successfully in April. It now means that Lundin Petroleum will solely focus on its organic growth strategy in Norway while IPC will focus initially on its international assets with an acquisition driven strategy followed later on by both an acquisition and organic growth-led strategy. IPC is very well positioned to establish itself as a significant international exploration and production player and benefits from having a proven management team and Mike Nicholson as CEO. I wish IPC success for the coming years!

Back to Lundin Petroleum; we are firmly on track to meet our production growth targets while maintaining a strong focus on HSE excellence. Our organic growth story is as exciting as ever with significant future potential. This is particularly true for the southern Barents Sea area where we will see drilling activities continuing in the coming years.

Thanks to everyone in the Company who help us achieve these results, I am very proud to be part of this team!

A big thank you to the Board and the Lundin Family for your confidence and continued support and to you, fellow shareholders, I am grateful for your ongoing trust and support.

Yours Sincerely,

Alex Schneiter President and CEO

Stockholm, 3 May 2017

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Lundin Petroleum is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations focused on Norway. The spin-off of Lundin Petroleum's non-Norwegian producing assets into the newly formed company International Petroleum Corporation (IPC) was completed on 24 April 2017 and the results from the assets in Malaysia, France and the Netherlands are reported as discontinued operations.

Continuing Operations Norway

Reserves and Resources

Lundin Petroleum has 714.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) of proved plus probable net reserves as at 31 December 2016 as certified by an independent third party. Lundin Petroleum also has a number of discovered oil and gas resources which classify as contingent resources and are not yet classified as reserves. The best estimate contingent resources net to Lundin Petroleum amounted to 249 MMboe as at 31 December 2016.

Production

Production for the three month period ending 31 March 2017 (reporting period) amounted to 82.6 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboepd) (compared to 47.9 Mboepd for the same period in 2016) which was 6 percent above the mid-point production guidance for the reporting period and at the top of the production guidance range. This performance is due to strong facilities and reservoir performance at both the Edvard Grieg field and the Alvheim area during the reporting period and based on this strong performance Lundin Petroleum is increasing its full year 2017 production guidance to between 75 to 85 Mboepd from between 70 to 80 Mboepd. Total cash operating cost, including netting off tariff income, was USD 4.04 per barrel during the reporting period and is forecast to be USD 4.90 per barrel for the year. The production during the reporting period was comprised as follows:

1 Lundin Petroleum's working interest (WI)

WI 50% up to 30 June 2016

Net production from the Edvard Grieg field during the reporting period was higher than forecast at 63.5 Mboepd due to increased facilities capacity, continued high production efficiency and good reservoir performance. During the first quarter of 2017 a fifth production well was successfully drilled and came onstream at planned production rates. The production capacity from the first five production wells exceeds expectations and the reservoir depletion rate continues to be more favourable than anticipated.

The total operating cost for the Edvard Grieg field was USD 4.67 per barrel during the reporting period and is forecast to be USD 5.00 per barrel for the year.

The sixth Edvard Grieg production well is currently drilling with a further three development wells planned during 2017. To date, seven out of a total of 14 development wells have been completed with drilling operations expected to continue into 2018.

In April 2017 Lundin Petroleum announced the completion of the Edvard Grieg Southwest appraisal well 16/1-27 which encountered a 15 metre gross oil column in high quality reservoirs that were better than prognosis. While the top reservoir was encountered deeper than prognosed, the oil water contact was also encountered 9 metres deeper than the established contact for the Edvard Grieg field and pressure data confirms communication with the Edvard Grieg field. The well results confirm a preliminary gross resource upside for this part of the Edvard Grieg field in the range of 10 to 30 MMboe. The final implication for the total reserves for the Edvard Grieg field will be quantified in the 2017 year end reserves update. The impact on the development drilling programme due to this additional resource upside in the field is currently being assessed.

The Ivar Aasen field which produces through the Edvard Grieg facilities commenced production in December 2016 and after a short period of commissioning instability the combined fields have been producing with a high level of reliability. The Edvard Grieg production efficiency during the reporting period was 95 percent which is ahead of expectations.

During the reporting period capacity testing of the Edvard Grieg facilities confirmed that the facilities are able to produce at rates 15 percent above design levels of 100 Mboepd. The current production fully utilizes this higher facilities capacity whilst also honouring the contractual allocation of facilities capacity between the Edvard Grieg and Ivar Aasen fields and is before any impact of facilities downtime. The contractual allocation of facilities capacity between the Edvard Grieg and Ivar Aasen fields changes through time, the details of which are reflected in Lundin Petroleum's quarterly production guidance for 2017.

Net production from the Ivar Aasen field during the reporting period was in line with forecast at 0.6 Mboepd. Production continues to ramp-up with five production wells on line and the water injection system is expected to start-up during the second quarter of 2017.

Production from the Alvheim area during the reporting period was ahead of forecast due to better than expected reservoir performance as well as higher than expected Alvheim FPSO production efficiency of 97 percent. Additionally, production has been optimised between the fields within the Alvheim area to maximise production through the Alvheim FPSO. The total operating cost for the Alvheim area was USD 3.24 per barrel during the reporting period and is forecast to be USD 4.20 per barrel for the year.

Net production from the Alvheim field during the reporting period was significantly better than forecast at 14.6 Mboepd. The reservoir performance continues to be excellent with the most recent infill well A5 as well as the Viper and Kobra wells, which came onstream in November 2016, all producing significantly ahead of expectation. Additionally, Alvheim field production has been prioritised over Volund production to maximise facilities throughput. Two infill wells are planned to be drilled at Alvheim during 2017 with production startup of these wells expected in 2018.

Net production from the Volund field during the reporting period was below forecast at 0.3 Mboepd. Cutback of Volund production is required during the first half of 2017 while two infill wells are being drilled on the field and additionally an arrangement has been agreed to maximise total production through the Alvheim FPSO by further cutting back Volund field production and prioritising Alvheim field production until the new Volund infill wells start-up. The Volund West infill well was completed during the reporting period with results in line with expectations. The three-branch Volund South infill well is ongoing, with a third branch having been added due to good results from two pilot holes drilled as part of the drilling programme. Both wells are expected to come onstream in the third quarter of 2017.

Net production from the Bøyla field during the reporting period was marginally below forecast at 1.2 Mboepd.

Net production from the Brynhild field during the reporting period was higher than forecast at 2.2 Mboepd. The water injection system was re-instated in February 2017 but continuing operational issues are impacting stable injection rates. The Brynhild field achieved an uptime of 55 percent for the reporting period.

Despite no remaining reserves being attributed to the Gaupe field, the field is producing intermittently subject to favourable economic conditions and net production during the reporting period was in line with forecast at 0.2 Mboepd.

Johan Sverdrup

Phase 1 of the Johan Sverdrup project is approximately 40 percent completed and is on schedule. With all the major project contracts awarded and the good progress on the project, Phase 1 costs continue to be reduced. Due to improved reservoir understanding the resource range for the field has again been increased. Additionally, concept selection (DG2) for Phase 2 of the project was concluded during the reporting period.

Construction on all elements of Phase 1 of the project have commenced with work ongoing at 22 construction sites around the world and with the project having increased manning to peak levels of approximately 3 million man-hours per month. Construction of three steel jackets is underway at the Kværner yard on the west coast of Norway and one jacket at the Dragados yard in Spain. Construction of the drilling platform and living quarters, through EPC contracts, is underway in Norway by Aibel and Kværner/KBR respectively and construction of the riser platform and processing platform is ongoing at Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea with Aker Solutions being contracted for the procurement and engineering of the riser platform and processing platform. In addition civil engineering works are underway on the onshore power system at Haugsneset in Norway.

The first jacket to be installed offshore is for the riser platform and the installation is on schedule for August 2017. The remainder of the offshore facilities are scheduled for installation in 2018 and 2019.

The pre-drilling of development wells commenced in March 2016 with eight production wells and two water injection wells having been completed to date ahead of schedule and with well results in line with expectations. In addition, three pilot wells have been drilled during the reporting period to assist with the placement of the development wells with results in line or better than prognosis.

At the time of submitting the Phase 1 Plan of Development and Operation (PDO) in February 2015, the capital expenditure for Phase 1 was estimated at gross NOK 123 billion (nominal). The latest cost estimate, as released by Statoil in early 2017, has been reduced to NOK 97 billion (nominal), a reduction of approximately 21 percent. This is based on a fixed project exchange rate of NOK 6 per USD and excludes additional foreign exchange rate savings in US dollar terms. The gross production capacity for Phase 1 of the project is estimated at 440 Mbopd and is scheduled to start production in late 2019.

During the reporting period, the Johan Sverdrup partnership decided to proceed with concept selection (DG2) for Phase 2 of the project. This will involve the installation of an additional processing platform bridge linked to the Phase 1 field centre and additional facilities to allow the tie-in of 28 additional wells to access the Avaldsnes, Kvitsøy and Geitungen satellite areas of the field. These additional facilities will take the full field gross plateau level to 660 Mbopd. Phase 2 costs are estimated at NOK 40 to 55 billion (nominal) and represent approximately 50 percent reduction compared to the estimate in the original PDO for Phase 1, which is due to a combination of the market conditions and optimisation of the Phase 2 facilities concept. Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contracts in connection with Phase 2 of the project have been awarded to Aker Solutions for the processing platform, Kværner for the jacket and Siemens for the expansion of the power from shore facilities. The PDO for Phase 2 is scheduled in the second half of 2018 and Phase 2 is scheduled to come onstream in 2022.

During the reporting period, Statoil provided an update on resources for the Johan Sverdrup field with gross resources increasing to between 2.0 and 3.0 billion boe with 95 percent of the resources being oil.

The full field development costs (Phase 1 and Phase 2) are revised down from the original PDO total of NOK 207 billion to between NOK 137 and 152 billion (real 2016). Full field breakeven oil price is now estimated at below 25 USD per barrel.

In February 2017, the 16/2-22S Tonjer well testing a possible northern extension of the Johan Sverdrup field was announced to have encountered an oil column of 16 metres in moderate to poor quality Draupne reservoirs of lower quality compared to the main Johan Sverdrup reservoir. This result has no impact on the Johan Sverdrup development or the resources and the partnership will assess the results of the well as regards to possible future development.

In April 2017, Lundin Petroleum announced the completion of the Edvard Grieg Southwest appraisal well 16/1-27 and the results have been reported in the Production section above.

Lundin Petroleum will drill a further two appraisal wells offshore Norway during 2017 with a well on the Gohta discovery in PL492 (WI 40%) and a well on the Alta discovery in PL609 (WI 40%) both located on the Loppa High in the southern Barents Sea. The Gohta-3 appraisal well is currently ongoing.

Lundin Petroleum has a rig contract with Ocean Rig for the charter of the Leiv Eiriksson semi-submersible rig for a flexible term with multiple well option slots that can be called at Lundin Petroleum's election. This rig is currently planned to carry out all of Lundin Petroleum's operated wells in the southern Barents Sea for the 2017 drilling campaign.

In February 2017, Lundin Petroleum announced a discovery on the Filicudi prospect in PL533 in the southern Barents Sea. The well, which was drilled approximately 40 km southwest of the Johan Castberg discovery, encountered a 129 metre hydrocarbon column, with 63 metres of oil and 66 metres of gas, in high quality Jurassic and Triassic sandstone reservoirs. A sidetrack well was drilled that also confirmed the reservoir and hydrocarbon column. The discovery is estimated to contain between 35 and 100 MMboe of gross resources. Significant additional prospectivity is mapped along trend with the Filicudi discovery in PL533 and plans are being progressed for follow-up drilling in 2017.

Lundin Petroleum will drill a further four exploration wells offshore Norway during 2017 targeting net unrisked prospective resources of over 500 MMboe. The remaining 2017 exploration programme consists of three wells in the southern Barents Sea with one well targeting the Børselv prospect in PL609 (WI 40%) located on-trend north of the Alta and Neiden discoveries. The second well will be targeting one segment of the shallower horizons within the multi-billion barrel gross prospective resource Korpfjell prospect in PL859 (WI 15%) in the southeastern Barents Sea. The third well will be targeting the Hufsa prospect in PL533 along trend with the Filicudi discovery, which is subject to partner approval. Additionally, one well will be drilled west of the Volund field in PL150 (WI 35%). In addition, a large high-specification 3D seismic survey will be acquired over the Alta, Gohta and Filicudi discoveries and associated prospectivity.

Financial Report for the Three Months Ended 31 March 2017

Licence awards, transactions and relinquishments

In January 2017, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced the licence awards in the 2016 APA licensing round in Norway. Lundin Petroleum was awarded four licences, of which two as operator in PL902 (WI 50%) and PL886 (WI 40%) and two non-operated in PL896 and PL869 (both with WI 20%).

During the reporting period, a licence exchange was completed with Engie to swap 10 percent of Lundin Petroleum's working interest in PL778 for Engie's 20 percent working interest in both PL715 and PL722. In addition, acquisition of Shell's 20 percent working interest in PL715 was agreed during the reporting period which is subject to government approval. Also, Lundin Petroleum farmed out its 20 percent licence interest in PL685 to Wellesley Petroleum.

During the reporting period, Lundin Petroleum relinquished PL410, PL625, PL653, PL678, PL694, PL734, PL736S, PL765 and PL766.

Russia

At year end 2016, Lundin Petroleum removed the contingent resources from its books associated with the Morskaya oil discovery and wrote down the entire book value of the asset. Management is reviewing options for the Morskaya asset. The terms of the Morskaya production licence require agreement on an appraisal plan with the Russian licensing authority, Rosnedra, which is being progressed in order to maintain the licence in good standing while options for the asset are being reviewed.

Financial Report for the Three Months Ended 31 March 2017

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Result

The operating profit from continuing operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 219.8 (MUSD -33.9). The operating profit for the reporting period was driven by the increased production in Norway and the higher oil prices compared to last year.

The net result from continuing operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 59.2 (MUSD 165.7). The net result from continuing operations in the reporting period was lower compared to the first quarter of 2016 due to the largely non-cash foreign exchange gain reported in the first quarter of 2016.

The net result from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 60.5 (MUSD 166.8) or MUSD 64.5 (MUSD 115.4) including discontinued operations representing earnings per share from continuing operations of USD 0.18 (USD 0.54) or USD 0.19 (USD 0.37) including discontinued operations.

The results of the IPC business are included in the Lundin Petroleum financial statements for the reporting period and are shown as discontinued operations. The spin-off of IPC occurred on 24 April 2017. For more detail refer to Note 14.

Revenue

Revenue for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 421.5 (MUSD 145.1) and was comprised of net sales of oil and gas, change in under/over lift position and other revenue as detailed in Note 1.

Net sales of oil and gas for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 381.2 (MUSD 149.3). The average price achieved by Lundin Petroleum for a barrel of oil equivalent from own production amounted to USD 51.14 (USD 32.33) and is detailed in the following table. The average Dated Brent price for the reporting period amounted to USD 53.69 (USD 33.94) per barrel.

Net sales of oil and gas for the reporting period are detailed in Note 3 and were comprised as follows:

The table above excludes 369,743 barrels of crude oil purchased from outside the Group by Lundin Petroleum Marketing SA and sold to the market.

Sales of oil and gas are recognised when the risk of ownership is transferred to the purchaser. Sales quantities in a period can differ from production quantities as a result of permanent and timing differences. Timing differences can arise due to under/ over lift of entitlement, inventory, storage and pipeline balances effects.

The change in under/over lift position amounted to an income of MUSD 35.6 (cost of MUSD 5.1) in the reporting period due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production.

Other revenue amounted to MUSD 4.7 (MUSD 0.9) for the reporting period and included a quality differential compensation on Alvheim blended crude and tariff income of MUSD 4.2 (MUSD -) which is due to net income from Ivar Aasen tariffs paid to Edvard Grieg.

Production costs

Production costs including inventory movements for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 36.1 (MUSD 41.6) and are detailed in Note 2. The total production cost per barrel of oil equivalent produced is detailed in the table below.

Note: USD per boe is calculated by dividing the cost by total production volume for the period.

1 The numbers in this table are excluding tariff income netting. Lundin Petroleum's cash operating costs for the reporting period of USD 4.59 per barrel is reduced to USD 4.04 per barrel when tariff income is netted off.

The total cost of operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 26.4 (MUSD 27.1). The decrease compared to the same period last year is mainly due to lower operational project cost for the Brynhild field. The total cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 24.9 (MUSD 25.0).

The cost of operations per barrel amounted to USD 3.56 (USD 6.21) including operational projects and USD 3.36 (USD 5.73) excluding operational projects. The cost of operations per barrel amounts are lower than the guidance provided in February 2017.

Tariff and transportation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 7.7 (MUSD 8.6). The main reason for the reduction per barrel is due to the increased volumes in the Oseberg transportation system that the Edvard Grieg pipeline is part of.

Other costs amounted to MUSD 2.6 (MUSD 6.2) and mainly related to the operating cost share arrangement on the Brynhild field whereby the amount of operating cost varies with the oil price until mid-2017. This arrangement is being marked-tomarket against the oil price curve.

Depletion and decommissioning costs

Depletion and decommissioning costs amounted to MUSD 131.1 (MUSD 75.9) at an average rate of USD 17.64 (USD 17.42) per barrel and are detailed in Note 3. The higher depletion costs for the reporting period compared to the same period last year is due to the depletion charge associated with the Edvard Grieg field as a result of the higher production levels achieved.

Lundin Petroleum has hedged certain foreign currency operational expenditure amounts against the US Dollar and for the period, the net realised exchange loss on settled foreign exchange hedges amounted to MUSD 2.5 (MUSD 17.9).

The US Dollar weakened against the Euro during the reporting period resulting in a net foreign currency exchange gain on the US Dollar denominated external loan which is borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency. In addition, the Norwegian Krone weakened against the Euro in the reporting period, generating a net foreign currency exchange loss on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone.

Finance costs

Finance costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 45.3 (MUSD 47.7) and are detailed in Note 5.

Interest expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 28.6 (MUSD 34.2) and represented the portion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 12.2 (MUSD 3.1) associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised in the reporting period. The total interest expense has increased compared to the same period last year due to the higher borrowings. The result on interest rate hedge settlements amounted to a loss of MUSD 6.0 (MUSD 4.3) and increased compared to the comparative period due to the higher fixed interest rate that was hedged in 2017.

The amortisation of the deferred financing fees amounted to MUSD 4.3 (MUSD 5.4) for the reporting period and related to the expensing of the fees incurred in establishing the financing facilities, including the Norwegian exploration refund facility, over the period of usage of the facilities.

Loan facility commitment fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 2.8 (MUSD 1.2) with the increase compared to the same period last year being due to the increased available borrowing amounts under the Group's reserve-based lending facility.

The current tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 0.3 (credit MUSD 30.0) which included a tax credit of MUSD - (MUSD 30.1) relating to the Norway exploration tax refund.

The deferred tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 135.6 (credit of MUSD 28.6) which predominantly related to Norway. The deferred tax amount arises primarily where there is a difference in depletion for tax and accounting purposes.

The Group operates in various countries and fiscal regimes where corporate income tax rates are different from the regulations in Sweden. Corporate income tax rates for the Group vary between 20 and 78 percent. The effective tax rate for the reporting period is affected by items which do not receive a full tax credit such as the reported net foreign currency exchange gain, Norwegian financial items and by the uplift allowance applicable in Norway for development expenditures against the offshore tax regime.

Non-controlling interest

The net result attributable to non-controlling interest for the reporting period amounted to MUSD -1.3 (MUSD -1.1) and related mainly to the non-controlling interest's share in a Russian subsidiary which is fully consolidated.

Financial Report for the Three Months Ended 31 March 2017

Accounting Policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).

The accounting policies adopted are in all other aspects consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

The financial reporting of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).

Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than Swedish Krona or Euro and consequently the Parent Company's financial information is reported in Swedish Krona and not the Group's reporting currency of US Dollar.

Risks and Risk Management

The objective of Business Risk Management is to identify, understand and manage threats and opportunities within the business on a continual basis. This objective is achieved by creating a mandate and commitment to risk management at all levels of the business. This approach actively addresses risk as an integral and continual part of decision making within the Group and is designed to ensure that all risks are identified, fully acknowledged, understood and communicated well in advance. The ability to manage and or mitigate these risks represents a key component in ensuring that the business aim of the Company is achieved. Nevertheless, oil and gas exploration, development and production involve high operational and financial risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to fully eliminate or which are beyond the Company's control.

A detailed analysis of Lundin Petroleum's strategic, operational, financial and external risks and mitigation of those risks through risk management is described in Lundin Petroleum's 2016 Annual Report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 13 – Financial instruments

For financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the following fair value measurement hierarchy is used:

– Level 1: based on quoted prices in active markets;

– Level 2: based on inputs other than quoted prices as within level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable;

– Level 3: based on inputs which are not based on observable market data.

Based on this hierarchy, financial instruments measured at fair value can be detailed as follows:

31 March 2017
MUSD
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets
Other shares and participations 9.6
Derivative instruments – non-current 16.6
Derivative instruments – current 3.4

Derivative instruments – current 0.8
8.9 17.8
Liabilities
Derivative instruments – non-current 29.8
Derivative instruments – current 37.6
67.4

There were no transfers between the levels during the reporting period.

The fair value of the financial assets is estimated to equal the carrying value. The fair value, of the Derivative instruments, is calculated using the forward interest rate curve and the forward exchange rate curve respectively for the interest rate swap and the currency hedging contracts. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement.

Note 14 – Discontinued operations - IPC

The results of the IPC business are included in the Lundin Petroleum financial statements in the reporting period and are shown as discontinued operations. The spin-off occurred on 24 April 2017.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimates of reserves and/or resources, future production levels, future capital expenditures and their allocation to exploration and development activities, future drilling and other exploration and development activities. Ultimate recovery of reserves or resources are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon. These statements speak only as on the date of the information and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, operational risks (including exploration and development risks), productions costs, availability of drilling equipment, reliance on key personnel, reserve estimates, health, safety and environmental issues, legal risks and regulatory changes, competition, geopolitical risk, and financial risks. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail under the heading "Risks and Risk Management" and elsewhere in the Company's annual report.
