Non-IFRS Measures

The non-IFRS measures referenced above do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Management uses this non-IFRS measure to provide its shareholders and investors with a measure of the Company’s financial performance and is not intended to represent operating profit or consider it as an alternative to cash flow generated by operating activities, net profit or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies where similar terminology is used. “Operating profit” is calculated by deducting operating expenses from total revenues. Total revenue includes oil and gas sales, net of royalties. The Company refers to operating profit expressed per unit of production as “net operating profit”. “Operating Profit Margin” is calculated by the Company as operating profit as a percentage of oil and natural gas sales.

Conversion Metrics

Production volumes and reserves are generally expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) basis, with natural gas volumes converted at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet (“Mcf”) to 1 barrel oil (“bbl”). Although the intention is to add the units of measure for petroleum and natural gas into a single basis for better analysis of results and comparisons with other industry players, boe can be misleading, especially s they are used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf to 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalence at the wellhead. In recent years, the value ratio based on the price of crude oil to natural gas has been significantly higher than the energy equivalence of 6:1 and the use of a conversion of natural gas volumes on a base of 6:1 can be misleading as an indication of value.
