The materials set forth on the Company’s website and presentations were prepared by the Company and the analyses contained therein are based, in part, on certain assumptions made by and information obtained from the Company and/or from other sources. The information may not be comprehensive and has not been subject to any independent audit or review. The Company’s internal estimates have not been verified by an external expert, and we cannot guarantee that a third party using different methods would obtain or generate the same results. The Company does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, in relation to the fairness, reasonableness, adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the information, statements or opinions, whichever their source, contained in such materials or any oral information provided in connection with its presentations or discussions with investors, or any data it generates, and accepts no responsibility, obligation or liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) in relation to any of such information. The information and opinions contained in the materials are provided as of the date specified therein, are subject to change without notice and do not purport to contain all information that may be required to evaluate the Company. The Company and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents expressly disclaim any and all liability which may be based on the materials and any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, officers, employees or agents makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, that any transaction has been or may be affected on the terms or in the manner stated in the materials, or as to the achievement or reasonableness of estimates, prospects or returns, if any. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Numerical figures in the materials have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in various tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures that precede them.

The materials include forward looking statements that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, the Company’s growth, operations, and financial performance. Forward looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements relate to matters such as the Company’s industry, business strategy, goals, and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity, and capital resources and other financial and operating information. These forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by forward looking terminology such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “could,” “target,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “should,” “will,” “approximately,” “predict,” “potential,” “may,” and “assume,” as well as variations of such words and similar expressions referring to the future. Oral information provided in connection with the Company’s presentations or discussions with investors may similarly include forward looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in the materials, including but not limited to any outlook, targets, or projections, are based on management’s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. For example, projections included in the materials assume the Company has continued access to adequate sources of capital to fund operations. The Company’s expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith, and the Company’s management believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, and projections will result or be achieved.

Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Management believes that these factors include but are not limited to the risk factors the Company has identified in its offering documents under “Risk Factors.” Risk Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in such forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.

The SEC generally permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. The Company discloses estimated proved reserves and estimated probable reserves in its filings with the SEC. The Company’s estimated reserves are prepared by the Company’s internal reservoir engineer and comply with definitions promulgated by the SEC. These estimated reserves are not audited by an independent petroleum engineering firm. Additional information on the Company’s estimated reserves is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC. In these materials, the Company may use the terms “resources,” “resource potential” or “potential resources,” which SEC guidelines prohibit issuers from including in filings with the SEC. “Resources,” “resource potential” or “potential resources” refer to the Company’s internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques. Such terms do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers or SEC rules and do not include any proved reserves. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered will differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of drilling programs, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Estimates may change significantly as development of properties provides additional data. In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production, decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. Estimated proved reserves and estimated probable reserves do not represent or measure the fair value of the respective properties or the fair market value at which a property or properties could be sold. In the event of any such sale, proceeds to the Company may be significantly less than the value of the estimated reserves.

Certain materials contain “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, the Company presents “EBITDA” as a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company believes this measure can assist investors in comparing the Company’s operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in highlighting trends in the Company’s operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, capital investments, etc. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies and to make budgeting decisions. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide. However, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
