(i)Management uses funds flow from operations (before changes in non-cash   
 working capital and decommissioning expenditures) to analyze operating     
 performance. Funds flow from operations does not have any standardized     
 meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the    
 calculation of similar measures for other entities.                        



Operations review

Traverse plans an active 2011. Activities include 7-10 wells and 3D seismic
shooting within an initial budget of $8-9 million. In May 2011, the Company
completed a private placement of both common and flow-through common shares. A
total of 6,531,128 common shares were issued for gross proceeds of $5,574,593.
The Company will largely focus on its' existing light oil properties in central
and southern Alberta.


During the first quarter the 100% owned oil well at Carbon was flow tested. Due
to the associated natural gas, the well needs to be pipeline connected to nearby
infrastructure for further production testing. The tie-in was scheduled
immediately after spring break-up. Prolonged wet weather conditions have
prevented installation to date. No new wells were drilled during the quarter.
Other activities included land acquisition in the Long Coulee and Turin areas,
third party seismic purchases, pre-drilling preparations in other areas and
equipment expenditures.


Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Traverse completed the drilling of 2
gross (1.93 net) wells. In the Turin area, 1 net well has been cased as a
potential Mannville oil well. Completion and tie-in activities to the Company`s
infrastructure and battery site are planned once the current wet weather
conditions improve. In the Alliance area, Traverse drilled a 0.93 net well which
included a 1075 meter horizontal leg in the Viking zone. Completion operations
at the well are suspended due to wet weather and will resume once field
conditions improve.


Traverse plans further drilling at Turin, Long Coulee, Carbon, and in several
other areas during 2011.
