Statement of financial accounting standards no. 144 (“FAS 144”)—accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets FAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets supersedes both FAS No. 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No.30. FAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of FAS 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on longlived assets. FAS 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 on how to present discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity rather than a segment of a business. FAS 144 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Adoption of FAS 144 on January 2002 will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or net income.

The Corporation has been engaged in two court cases in Kazakhstan pertaining to the disputed assessments. The first involved ShNOS and was approximately $8.8 million. ShNOS has successfully argued its case at the first level of the court system in Kazakhstan and at the Supreme Court level. There is a possibility that the Ministry of State Revenue may appeal to the ultimate appellate level, the Supervisory Commission of the Supreme Court. No provision has been made in the financial statements for this assessment. The second case involved HKM and was for a total of approximately $8 million excluding any potential fines or penalties, which may be approximately $2 million. HKM was successful at the first level of the court system and was unsuccessful on the majority of the issues at the Supreme Court level. HKM will appeal to the ultimate appellate level, the Supervisory Commission of the Supreme Court. The Corporation has provided for $4.2 million of the $8 million in the March 31, 2002 financial statements. The Corporation continues to dispute this assessment, as it believes that tax stability provisions of its Hydrocarbons Contracts establish that HKM is not subject to the assessed taxes. F-45
