OTHER ADVISORIES

We have adopted the industry-standard conversion ratio of six Mcf to one bbl when converting natural gas quantities to "barrels of oil equivalent" (BOEs).  BOEs may be misleading, though, 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.  Although the six-to-one conversion factor is an industry accepted norm, it is not reflective of price or market value differentials between product types.  Based on current commodity prices, the value ratio between natural gas and oil is significantly different than the 6:1 ratio based on energy equivalency.  Accordingly, a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company uses certain terms in this news release that do not have a standardized or prescribed meaning or methods of calculation under IFRS, Prairie Provident's measurement of these terms may not be comparable with the calculation of similar terms used by other companies and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons.

“Operating netback” – This is a non-IFRS measure commonly used in the oil and gas industry. Operating netback assists management and investors to evaluate the specific operating performance at the oil and gas lease level. Operating netbacks included in this news release were determined by taking (oil and gas revenues less royalties less operating costs) divided by gross working interest production. Operating netback, including realized commodity (loss) and gain, adjusts the operating netback for only realized gains and losses on derivative instruments.
