2. Cautionary Notes
Forward-looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (collectively “forward-looking statements”). The use
of any of the words “being”, “will”, “until”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “will be”, “is considering”, “will proceed”, “plans”, “reactivate”, “recommence”, “would be”, “could be”, “will bring”, “could bring”,
“expected”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual
results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. The Company believes the
expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. This document contains forward-looking
statements and assumptions pertaining to the following: business strategy, strength and focus; the granting of regulatory approvals; the timing for receipt of regulatory approvals; geological and
engineering estimates relating to the resource potential of the Properties; the estimated quantity and quality of the Company’s oil and natural gas resources; supply and demand for oil and natural gas
and the Company’s ability to market crude oil, natural gas and; expectations regarding the ability to raise capital and to continually add to reserves and resources through acquisitions and development;
the Company’s ability to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost-efficient manner; the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to obtain mining permits and access rights in respect of land
and resource and environmental consents; the recoverability of the Company’s crude oil, natural gas reserves and resources; and future capital expenditures to be made by the Company. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in the document, such as the speculative nature of
exploration, appraisal and development of oil and natural gas properties; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas resources; changes in the cost of operations, including costs of
extracting and delivering oil and natural gas to market, that affect potential profitability of oil and natural gas exploration; operating hazards and risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations; volatility
in market prices for oil and natural gas; market conditions that prevent the Company from raising the funds necessary for exploration and development on acceptable terms or at all; global financial
market events that cause significant volatility in commodity prices; unexpected costs or liabilities for environmental matters; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of resources,
skilled personnel, and access to equipment and services required for exploration, development and production; changes in exchange rates, laws of New Zealand or laws of Canada affecting foreign
trade, taxation and investment; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; and other factors. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Statements relating
to “reserves and resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described can be
profitably produced in the future. The forward-looking statements contained in the document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. These statements speak only as of the date of this
document and the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained in this document, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. More information
is available in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on June 17, 2013 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Reserve & Resource Estimates
The oil and gas reserve and resource calculations and net present value projections were estimated in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) and National
Instrument 51-101 (“NI 51-101”). The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six Mcf: one bbl was used by NZEC. This
conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Reserves are estimated
remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on: the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical,
and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of
certainty associated with the estimates. Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Revenue projections presented are based in part on forecasts of market prices,
current exchange rates, inflation, market demand and government policy which are subject to uncertainties and may in future differ materially from the forecasts above. Present values of future net
revenues do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the reserves evaluated. Information concerning reserves may also be deemed to be forward looking as estimates imply that the reserves
described can be profitably produced in the future. These statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results to differ
from those anticipated. Contingent resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on 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. Prospective resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered
accumulations. Undiscovered resources means those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The resources reported are estimates
only and there is no certainty that any portion of the reported resources will be discovered and that, if discovered, it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce. More information is
available in the Company’s Form F1-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information dated April 2, 2014, which is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
