Corporate Highlights

Highlights during the quarter included:
• Exiting the quarter with approximately $23 million in working capital which included
$23.1 million in cash.
• Increased average production 132% over last quarter from 54 to 95 BOPD, and production during the last week prior to spring break-up averaged 134 BOPD. The production increase was due to our recently drilled wells at Hardy and Coteau Lake in southeast Saskatchewan.
• Reducing operating costs per barrel by 46% over the same period last year.
• Continued to prove all of our Hardy lands are prospective for the Bakken, based on the successful results from all of our wells including the recently drilled 5A 4-16 well. Our future development plans are contingent on an improved commodity price environment.
• Reduced our September 30, 2015 year-end Capital Plan by $6.0 million to $10.0 million, which has mostly been expended to date. This reduction in capital expenditures includes the deferring of drilling operations and future capital plans will be limited to work-over operations.
