Foreign currency translation losses treated as deductible when arising from cash call contributions under production-sharing contracts.
Where co-venturer contributions under a production-sharing contract are treated as Cash Call investments rather than loans, foreign currency translation differences arising from translating monetary balances at balance-sheet exchange rates are recognised in profit and loss; clause 3.2 of Appendix C disallowing exchange losses on loans does not apply to cash call contributions, so such translation losses are deductible and translation gains are treated as receipts.
