These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the company's functional currency.

4. ACQUISITION OF CANADIAN OIL SANDS LIMITED (COS)

On February 5, 2016, Suncor obtained control of Canadian Oil Sands Limited (COS) by acquiring 73% of COS' outstanding common shares in exchange for 0.28 of a Suncor share per COS share tendered. The acquisition resulted in the issuance of 98.9 million Suncor common shares, which had a fair value of $31.88 per share based on the closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) on the acquisition date.

COS owned a 36.74% interest in the Syncrude joint arrangement. Suncor acquired COS to benefit from operating synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the two companies' ownership interests in Syncrude.

On February 22, 2016, and March 21, 2016, Suncor acquired the remaining outstanding 131.3 million COS shares on the same terms as the initial acquisition, resulting in the issuance of an additional 36.7 million Suncor common shares which resulted in a total acquisition price of $4.452 billion. The estimated fair values of the net assets acquired were not adjusted to reflect the changes in Suncor's share price on the subsequent transaction dates.

Purchase price allocation

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value, except for the employee future benefit liability which is measured as the present value of the net obligation. The purchase price allocation is based on management's best estimates of fair values of COS' assets and liabilities as at February 5, 2016 and no changes are required.

and long-term debt were determined using quoted prices and rates from available pricing sources. The fair value of materials and supplies inventory approximates book value due to short-term turnover rates. The fair values of property, plant and equipment, and the decommissioning provision were determined using an expected future cash flow approach. Key assumptions used in the calculations were discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, timing of development activities, projections of oil reserves, and cost estimates to abandon and reclaim the mine and facilities.

The following table summarizes the fair value of COS debt acquired by Suncor.

During the second quarter of 2016, the company purchased US$688 million of subsidiary debt acquired through the acquisition of COS. The company also repaid approximately $600 million of the credit facility acquired in the COS transaction.

The non-controlling interest (NCI) was initially measured at the NCI's proportionate share of the net identifiable assets acquired. The subsequent transactions on February 22, 2016, and March 21, 2016, were accounted for as equity transactions with shareholders and eliminated the NCI balance. Suncor recognized the difference between the fair value of the common shares issued and the NCI recorded at February 5, 2016 directly in equity. During the period from February 5, 2016 to March 21, 2016, when Suncor did not own 100% of the equity, net earnings of $11 million were earned that were attributable to the NCI owners.

As part of the acquisition, the company also assumed various pipeline and storage commitments of $3.0 billion undiscounted. The contract terms of these commitments range between one and 24 years, with payments that commenced in the first quarter of 2016.

Acquisition costs of $29 million have been charged to Operating, Selling and General expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

The acquisition of COS contributed $489 million to gross revenues and $226 million to consolidated net loss from the acquisition date to June 30, 2016.

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016, COS would have contributed $671 million to gross revenues and $263 million to consolidated net loss, which would have resulted in gross revenues of $12.3 billion and consolidated net loss of $741 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

5. ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN SYNCRUDE

On June 23, 2016, Suncor completed the purchase of an additional 5% working interest in the Syncrude project from Murphy Oil Corporation's Canadian subsidiary for $946 million after purchase price adjustments. The purchase increased Suncor's share in the Syncrude project to 53.74%.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The purchase price allocation is based on management's best estimates of fair values of Syncrude's assets and liabilities as at June 23, 2016.

The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of crude inventory was determined using quoted prices and rates from available pricing sources. The fair value of materials and supplies inventory approximates book value due to short-term turnover rates. The fair values of property, plant and equipment, and the decommissioning provision were determined using an expected future cash flow approach. Key assumptions used in the calculations were discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, timing of development activities, projections of oil reserves, and cost estimates to abandon and reclaim the mine and facilities. All of the key assumptions were applied on a consistent basis as the COS acquisition (note 4).

The additional interest in Syncrude contributed $3 million to gross revenues and nil to consolidated net loss from the acquisition date to June 30, 2016.

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016, the additional interest would have contributed $88 million to gross revenues and $38 million to consolidated net loss, which would have resulted in gross revenues of $11.7 billion and consolidated net loss of $516 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

On April 26, 2017, the company announced its intention to commence a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (the 2017 NCIB) to repurchase shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange and/or alternative trading platforms. Pursuant to the 2017 NCIB, the company may purchase for cancellation up to approximately $2.0 billion worth of its common shares between May 2, 2017 and May 1, 2018. During the second quarter of 2017, the company repurchased 7.2 million common shares under the 2017 NCIB at an average price of $40.93 per share, for a total repurchase cost of $296 million.

During the second quarter of 2017, the company completed an early retirement of its US$1.250 billion (book value of $1.700 billion) long-term notes originally scheduled to mature on June 1, 2018 for US$1.344 billion ($1.830 billion), including US$31 million ($42 million) of accrued interest. In conjunction with the early retirement of the notes, the company also realized gains of $62 million on foreign currency hedges resulting in an overall debt extinguishment loss of $25 million ($10 million after-tax).

During the second quarter of 2016, the company purchased US$688 million ($891 million) principal value (book value of $864 million) of subsidiary debt acquired through the acquisition of COS (note 4) for US$751 million ($973 million) including US$8 million ($10 million) of accrued interest, resulting in a debt extinguishment loss of $99 million ($73 million after-tax). The company also repaid approximately $600 million of the credit facility acquired in the COS transaction.

10. INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K.) government enacted a decrease in the supplementary charge rate on oil and gas profits in the North Sea that reduced the statutory tax rate on Suncor's earnings in the U.K. from 50% to 40%. The company revalued its deferred income tax balances, resulting in a deferred income tax recovery of $180 million.

Cash payment alternatives are accounted for as cash-settled plans. As these awards can be exchanged for common shares of the company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the company's diluted net earnings (loss) per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period. Accounting for these awards as equity-settled was determined to have a dilutive impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

The company uses forward starting interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to the effect of future interest rate movements on future debt issuances. As at June 30, 2017, the company had $949 million in outstanding forward swaps. A decrease in interest rates of 0.06% during the quarter resulted in a decrease in value of $17 million associated with the remaining swaps. A decrease in interest rates of 0.03% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted in a decrease in value of $10 million associated with the remaining swaps.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2017, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $13.0 billion (December 31, 2016 – $15.1 billion) and the fair value was $15.3 billion (December 31, 2016 – $17.5 billion). The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data.

14. PROVISIONS

A decrease in the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to 3.70% (December 31, 2016 – 3.90%) and recognition of additional disturbances resulted in an increase in the decommissioning and restoration provision of $385 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

15. SALE OF LUBRICANTS BUSINESS

On February 1, 2017, the company completed the previously announced sale of its lubricants business for proceeds of $1.1 billion before closing adjustments and other closing costs. The sale of this business resulted in an after-tax gain of $354 million, including a current tax expense of $101 million and a deferred tax recovery of $11 million, in the Refining and Marketing segment.

16. SALE OF CEDAR POINT

The company sold its interest in the Cedar Point wind facility in southwestern Ontario for proceeds of $291 million before closing adjustments and other closing costs, with an effective date of January 1, 2017. The disposition resulted in an after-tax gain of $83 million, including a current tax expense of $29 million and a deferred tax recovery of $15 million, in the Corporate, Energy Trading and Eliminations segment.
