Unrealized market value adjustments represent the net income impact of measuring certain financial and derivative instruments at fair value subsequent to initial recognition (Note 8) and measuring natural gas in storage at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value (Note 6). These adjustments represent the change in the carrying amount of the related item during the period and are dependent on the market prices and expected delivery dates at the end of the reporting period.
