Cautionary Statement and Advisory Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and
Information
Certain information with respect to the Company contained herein, including
expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, information and
statements about future events, conditions, results of operations, performance,
Kelt's planned capital expenditure program, or management's assessment of future
potential, contain forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking
statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to: the
expected closing of the equity financings, the expected closing of the Pouce
Coupe/Spirit River acquisition, the resultant combined operations, the impact on
production and the impact on financial results. These forward-looking statements
are based on assumptions and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties,
certain of which are beyond the Company's control, including the impact of
general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity
prices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates,
environmental risks, competition from other explorers, stock market volatility,
and ability to access sufficient capital. We caution that the foregoing list of
risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive.
Kelt's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from
those expressed 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. As a result, undue reliance should not be
placed on forward-looking statements.
In addition, the reader is cautioned that historical results are not necessarily
indicative of future performance. The forward-looking statements contained
herein are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not intend, and does
not assume any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise unless
expressly required by applicable securities laws.
Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures, as described below,
which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP. As these measures
are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, the Company believes that their
inclusion is useful to readers. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may
not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar
terminology is used. "Funds from operations" is calculated by adding back
settlement of decommissioning obligations and change in non-cash operating
working capital to cash provided by operating activities. Funds from operations
per common share is calculated on a consistent basis with profit (loss) per
common share, using basic and diluted weighted average common shares as
determined in accordance with GAAP. Funds from operations is used by Kelt as key
measures of performance and are not intended to represent operating profits nor
should it be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities,
profit or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with
GAAP.
Measurements and Abbreviations
All dollar amounts are referenced in thousands of Canadian dollars, except when
noted otherwise. Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent
("BOE") basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six
thousand cubic feet per barrel and sulphur volumes have been converted to oil
equivalence at 0.6 long tons per barrel. The term BOE may be misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic
feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead. References to oil in this press release include crude oil and field
condensate. References to natural gas liquids ("NGLs") include pentane, butane,
propane, and ethane. References to gas in this press release include natural gas
and sulphur.
