• Increased average production by 210 boe/d, 18 Bopd of oil and liquids and 192 boe/d of Natural Gas, for the quarter ended March 31^st, 2014, resulting in average production of 1250 boe/d for the period (not including the Donalda production, adding an additional 100 boe/d at the end of May).
• Continuing efforts at Donalda and Bashaw, Alberta, reducing costs by 20% to date, half way to the target of a 40% operating cost reduction as budgeted to be achieved by September 2014.
• 2P Reserves of 6.27 mmboe with a NPV10% value of $84.7 million, representing a 200% replacement of the trailing 12 months production and a 25% increase in reserves from the 5.03 mmboe reported in Quattro’s 51-101 compliant report for the year ending 2013, prepared by Deloitte Advisory Services (“Deloitte”).

The April 1^st update was internally prepared by Quattro, and is provided as guidance and a comparison to our Year End 2013 Engineering completed by Deloitte, prior to the acquisitions announced March 25^th, 2014.

Leonard Van Betuw, President and CEO commented, “As we announced in our March 25, 2014 news release, the acquisitions completed represent the measured execution of Quattro’s business plan, a combination of consolidations, remediation and development drilling, within our core area consisting of 190,000 acres.”

“The first quarter 2014 is the solidification of our foundation, 6.27 million boe of reserves with a book value of $42.5 million, $11.50/bbl for the Company’s oil and liquids and $ 0.54 per mcf for natural gas. Our low cost production continues to grow as anticipated, with a focus on achieving annualized cash-flow that positions us to grow organically to more than 6,000 boe/d in 2016, through further remediation and development drilling.”

“Quattro continues to be pleased with the results of our strategy, through the execution of a diversified, low-risk material growth plan in western Canada, we continue to focus on our commitment to increasing corporate value both in western Canada and Central America,” stated Mr. Van Betuw.

BOE presentation:

Barrel (“bbl”) of oil equivalent (“boe”) amounts may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. All boe conversions in this report are calculated using a conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one equivalent barrel of oil (6 mcf=1 bbl) and is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head.

Trading in the securities of Quattro Exploration & Production Ltd. should be considered highly speculative.
