Summary of Net Present Value of Future Net Revenue

Notes:

1. The tables summarize the data contained in the Trimble Report and as a result may contain slightly different numbers due to rounding.
2. Gross reserves means the Company’s working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deductions of royalties payable to others and without including any royalty interests owned by StonePoint. Net reserves means the Company’s working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus the Company’s royalty interests in reserves.
3. Based on Trimble’s January 1, 2015 escalated price forecast. See “Summary of Pricing and Inflation Rate Assumptions”.
4. The net present value of future net revenue attributable to the Company’s reserves is stated without provision for interest costs and general and administrative costs, but after providing for estimated royalties, production costs, development costs, other income, future capital expenditures, and well abandonment costs for only those wells assigned reserves by Trimble. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue attributable to the Company’s reserves estimated by Trimble represent the fair market value of those reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company’s oil, NGL and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered.

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning the reserves attributable to the Company’s assets and the estimate of the net present value of the future net revenues attributable thereto and availability of further reserve information in the Statement of Reserves Data. Although StonePoint believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because StonePoint cannot give assurances that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Risks include risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets and other economic and industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling services, incorrect assessment of value of acquisitions and failure to realize the benefits therefrom, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, stock market volatility and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources and economic or industry condition changes. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that StonePoint will derive therefrom. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect StonePoint are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com). The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and StonePoint undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

Barrels of Oil Equivalent: Disclosure provided herein in respect of barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) 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 value 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.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Service Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
