Significant value in tax losses
• Issuer has very significant UK tax losses:
− As of March 31, 2015: £441m ($667m) (RFCT) loss(1) and £402m ($595m)
(SCT) loss(1)
− Ring Fence Exploration Supplement increases tax loss base by 10% p.a.,
still available to claim for 2015.
− No UK tax expected to be paid until around 2025 based on RPS price
assumptions and management expenditure estimates(2)
− Net Present Value of full existing tax losses, including future RFES benefit,
estimated by Sterling as $172m(2)
− Net Present Value of tax losses not already included in RPS asset
valuations = $33m(3)
− Subject to anti-avoidance legislation, a purchaser of the UK company
could theoretically realise close to full nominal value for Sterling’s UK tax
loss and sooner than is currently the case
• UK 2015 Budget introduced further tax incentives:
− SCT rate reduced to 20% (from 32%) from January 1, 2015
− Extended RFES for losses incurred from December 5, 2013 for a further 4
years
− Investment Allowance of 62.5% uplift on eligible capital expenditures for
SCT purposes from January 1, 2015

Bond amendments – May 2015
• A second set of bond amendments was approved by bondholders on 8 May 2015
• Benefits to Sterling:
− A deferral of the amortization instalment (including amortization premium) due on April 30, 2015, until the earlier of (i) the closing date of the Romanian Sale
and (ii) October 30, 2015.
− A further suspension of transfers of funds into the DSRA from April 30, 2015 until, but excluding, October 30, 2015 (this represents a continuation of the
current suspension which has been in place since October 30, 2014).
− A reduction in the minimum UK liquidity requirement from $10 million to $5 million from April 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015.
− A permanent one month deferral in monthly transfers to DSRA, from when these would otherwise resume on October 30, 2015.
• Compensation to bondholders
− Organizational review has resulted in reduction of UK employee headcount by 25%
− A deferral of the amortization instalment (including amortization premium) due on April 30, 2015, until the earlier of (i) the closing date of the Romanian Sale
and (ii) October 30, 2015.
− A further suspension of transfers of funds into the DSRA from April 30, 2015 until, but excluding, October 30, 2015 (this represents a continuation of the
current suspension which has been in place since October 30, 2014).
− A reduction in the minimum UK liquidity requirement from $10 million to $5 million from April 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015.
− A permanent one month deferral in monthly transfers to DSRA, from when these would otherwise resume on October 30, 2015.
Together, the Bond Amendments are anticipated to provide necessary incremental liquidity
which the Company believes will be sufficient to ensure it is properly funded through to
late October 2015.
Page 22May 28, 2015 AGM
Financial situation and outlook
• Group cash balances end-April 2015: $10 million
• Free cash deficit at October 31, 2015 expected to be approx. $17m
− This is the deficit after a) completion of Romanian sale in early July, b) paying outstanding amortization instalment (with 7.5% premium) from April 30, 2015,
c) making an amortization instalment (with 7.5% premium) and interest payment of $33.3m on October 30, 2015, and d) providing for $10m of minimum UK
unrestricted cash from October 31, 2015
− Reflects latest forward curve gas prices
• Sterling’s principal financing problem is that the current bond will be amortizing steadily over the next two years when
material capital expenditures are being incurred on Breagh – the amortization profile does not match the field’s cash flow
profile
• Sterling is actively seeking to refinance the current bond during the next 5 months: the principal options include a reserves
based loan or a new bond issue
• Separately, Sterling has aggressively cut costs in 2015 to adapt to its financial situation and the lower commodity price
environment
− Organizational review has resulted in reduction of UK employee headcount by 25%
− No annual salary increases or cash bonuses for 2014 to be paid to staff in 2015
− UK offices in Aberdeen and London being relocated with aggregate saving of $0.5m pa
o Aberdeen – smaller office in Westhill, moved April 2015
o London – smaller office in Stockley Park (business park close to Heathrow), moved mid March 2015
− Expected $8.5m gross/$6.5m net annual G&A from 2016 (also reflects sale of Romania); down from $19m gross/$11m net in 2014 (lower recoveries and
allocations because of loss of operated assets in Romania and lower levels of licence activity)
Page 23May 28, 2015 AGM
• Current production rates disclosed herein may not be indicative of long term performance or ultimate recovery. Such rates are not determinative of the future production
rates of the relevant fields and do not reflect how the production from such fields will decline thereafter.
• Estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue have been made assuming the development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without
regard to the likely availability to the Company of funding required for that development.
• Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than Probable Reserves.
• Company Reserves totals are arithmetic aggregations of multiple estimates, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be
recovered.
• Readers should give particular attention to the estimates of individual classes of Reserves and appreciate the differing probabilities of recovery associated with each class
under a specific set of economic conditions:
- A 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated Proved Reserves (1P);
- A 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable Reserves (2P); and
- A 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable plus Possible Reserves (3P).
• The estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue for
all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.
• Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology
or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include
factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated
discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of
the resources.
• The P(50) or 2C Contingent Resources quantity is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used there
should be at least a 50 percent probability P(50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.
• Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of
future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the
resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
• In relation to the relative uncertainty of recoverability of resources, a Best Estimate resources quantity is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually
be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. There should be at least a 50 percent
probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.
• MMboe numbers may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the volume ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to
natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Page 21May 28, 2015 AGM Bond amendments – May 2015 • A second set of bond amendments was approved by bondholders on 8 May 2015 • Benefits to Sterling: − A deferral of the amortization instalment (including amortization premium) due on April 30, 2015, until the earlier of (i) the closing date of the Romanian Sale and (ii) October 30, 2015. − A further suspension of transfers of funds into the DSRA from April 30, 2015 until, but excluding, October 30, 2015 (this represents a continuation of the current suspension which has been in place since October 30, 2014). − A reduction in the minimum UK liquidity requirement from $10 million to $5 million from April 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015. − A permanent one month deferral in monthly transfers to DSRA, from when these would otherwise resume on October 30, 2015. • Compensation to bondholders − Organizational review has resulted in reduction of UK employee headcount by 25% − A deferral of the amortization instalment (including amortization premium) due on April 30, 2015, until the earlier of (i) the closing date of the Romanian Sale and (ii) October 30, 2015. − A further suspension of transfers of funds into the DSRA from April 30, 2015 until, but excluding, October 30, 2015 (this represents a continuation of the current suspension which has been in place since October 30, 2014). − A reduction in the minimum UK liquidity requirement from $10 million to $5 million from April 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015. − A permanent one month deferral in monthly transfers to DSRA, from when these would otherwise resume on October 30, 2015.

Such rates are not determinative of the future production rates of the relevant fields and do not reflect how the production from such fields will decline thereafter. • Estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue have been made assuming the development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without regard to the likely availability to the Company of funding required for that development. • Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than Probable Reserves. • Company Reserves totals are arithmetic aggregations of multiple estimates, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be recovered. • Readers should give particular attention to the estimates of individual classes of Reserves and appreciate the differing probabilities of recovery associated with each class under a specific set of economic conditions: - A 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated Proved Reserves (1P); - A 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable Reserves (2P); and - A 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable plus Possible Reserves (3P). • The estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of Reserves and Future Net Revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. • Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. • The P(50) or 2C Contingent Resources quantity is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used there should be at least a 50 percent probability P(50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. • Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. • In relation to the relative uncertainty of recoverability of resources, a Best Estimate resources quantity is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. There should be at least a 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate. • MMboe numbers may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the volume ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. The Company’s management believes the information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics and the reserves and production potential in which the Company holds an interest. Such information has not been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101. The Company is also unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Such information is not an estimate of the resources attributable to the acreage held or to be held by the Company and there is no certainty that the reservoir data, resource estimates, production and decline rates and economics information for the acreage held by the Company will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by the Company may be in error and/or may prove not be analogous to the acreage be held by the Company. Information Sources Information on reserves and resources in this presentation are drawn from (i) the Company’s most recent Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information on Form 51-101 F1 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“End-2014 NI 51-101 F1”), (ii) the Company’s AIF; (iii) the RPS Energy report “Executive Summary Reserves and Resources Evaluation for the Breagh Gas Field Quad 42 UK North Sea as at December 31, 2014”; and (iv) the RPS Energy report “Executive Summary Reserves and Resources Evaluation for the Cladhan Oil Field Quad 210 License Blocks UK North Sea as at December 31, 2014”; to be filed shortly on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
