Production for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 averaged 656 boe per day, a 41% decrease from 1,116 boe per day for the same period in 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the lack of drilling activity during the first nine months of 2014. Production was also negatively affected by a metering error, which resulted in Exall only injecting approximately 16% of the required injection to maintain pressure and production in the north end of the Mitsue Waterflood. The metering error was fixed in June of 2014 and the Company is just starting to see pressure increases and recovering production numbers. The company reported daily production of crude oil of 587 bbl, natural gas liquids of 39 bbl and natural gas of 182 mmcf compared daily production of crude oil of 1,030 bbl, natural gas liquids of 17 bbl and natural gas of 417 mmcf reported a year ago.

Production for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 averaged 795 boe per day, a 33% decrease from 1,193 boe per day for the same period in 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of well cleanout operations performed during the first quarter of 2014, casing gas compressor issues resulting from the severe cold weather experienced during the first quarter of 2014 and the battery maintenance and well build up reporting requirements for the AER that were performed during the second quarter of 2014, which resulted in three weeks of lost production time. Additionally, production was negatively affected by the metering error. The company reported daily production of crude oil of 726 bbl, natural gas liquids of 27 bbl and natural gas of 251 mmcf compared daily production of crude oil of 1,110 bbl, natural gas liquids of 19 bbl and natural gas of 385 mmcf reported a year ago. Third quarter 2014 production was down 41% from the third quarter of 2013 period due primarily to the lack of drilling activity during the first nine months of the year.

Successful drilling on the Central Waterflood /North Waterflood channel extension through the last quarter of 2014 is expected to add 320 boepd net (based on an average working interest of 71.5%). Capital expenditures through the last quarter of 2014 will continue to focus on the "low-hanging fruit" opportunities. Short term focus of capital will be on well optimization and stimulation, waterflood implementation, and drilling of the lowest-risk, lowest-cost infill wells in the North Waterflood area.

The company plans to drill up to 3 gross development wells in the fourth quarter of 2014 with a further 5 gross development wells and 1 gross exploration well in 2015, subject to cash flow from operations. These wells are all high-impact, low risk locations identified through previous drilling and could have a significant impact on the company's production if successful. Continued drilling success on the North Waterflood channel extension will drive production growth on an annual basis through 2014 and 2015.
