Future Considerations<br />
- STRONG BALANCE SHEET: upon completion of the recently<br />
announced equity private placement, <strong>Kelt</strong> will have the financial<br />
flexibility to pursue new opportunities as they arise.<br />
- NATURAL GAS PRICE RECOVERY: with rigs drilling for natural<br />
gas in the United States at an eight year low, despite higher<br />
productive shale wells, we expect US supply will be negatively<br />
affected. In addition, the US natural gas storage surplus has<br />
narrowed significantly over the past year and US storage is<br />
currently below last year’s levels. This all bodes well for a<br />
natural gas price recovery of which <strong>Kelt</strong> would be a beneficiary.<br />

Oil and Gas Advisories<br />
Barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio has<br />
been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel. This conversion ratio of<br />
six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily<br />
applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.<br />
In addition, if applicable, sulphur volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at 0.6 long tons per barrel.<br />
References to oil in this presentation include crude oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). NGLs include condensate,<br />
pentane, propane, butane and ethane. References to gas in this discussion include natural gas and sulphur.<br />
In this presentation, reference may be made to OOIP or OGIP, meaning original oil in place and original gas in place,<br />
respectively, which are hereinafter collectively will be called “discovered petroleum initially-in-place”. Discovered<br />
petroleum initially-in-place is the quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known<br />
accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum-in-place includes production,<br />
reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.<br />
Estimates of the net present value of the future net revenue from <strong>Kelt</strong>’s reserves do not represent the fair market value of<br />
the Company’s reserves. The estimates of reserves and future net revenue from individual properties or wells may not<br />
reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties and wells, due to the<br />
effects of aggregation.<br />
Where discussed herein "NPV" represents the net present value of cash flow (after capital expenditures) discounted at<br />
the percentage indicated, with cash flow reflecting the indicated oil, liquids and natural gas prices, less internal estimates<br />
of operating costs and royalties.<br />
22
Financial Advisories<br />
All dollar amounts are referenced in Canadian dollars, except when noted otherwise. This presentation contains the<br />
terms “funds from operations”, “operating netback” and “production per share” which do not have a standardized<br />
meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other<br />
companies.<br />
Funds from operations and operating netbacks are used by <strong>Kelt</strong> as key measures of performance. Funds from operations<br />
and operating netbacks are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to<br />
cash provided by operating activities, profit or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with<br />
GAAP.<br />
Operating netbacks are determined by deducting royalties, production expenses and transportation expenses from oil<br />
and gas revenue.<br />
Funds from operations are determined by adding back change in non-cash operating working capital to cash provided by<br />
operating activities. The Company calculates funds from operations per share using the same method and shares<br />
outstanding which are used in the determination of profit per share.<br />
23
Purchasers Rights<br />
The following statutory rights of action for damages or rescission will only apply to a purchase of securities of <strong>Kelt</strong> in the<br />
event that the foregoing presentation is deemed to be an offering memorandum pursuant to applicable securities<br />
legislation in the Provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and/or Nova Scotia.<br />
These remedies, or notice with respect thereto, must be exercised, or delivered, as the case may be, by the purchaser<br />
within the time limits prescribed by the applicable provisions of such provincial securities legislation. Purchasers should<br />
refer to such applicable securities legislation for the complete text of these rights or consult with a legal adviser. Where<br />
used in this section, "Misrepresentation" means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material<br />
fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in<br />
which it was made.<br />
24
Purchasers Rights - Ontario<br />
Securities legislation in Ontario provides that if the offering memorandum, together with any amendment to such offering<br />
memorandum, contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser in the Province of Ontario will have, without regard to whether<br />
the misrepresentation was relied upon by the purchaser, a right of action against the issuer for damages or, at the<br />
election of the purchaser, against the issuer, for rescission (in which case the purchaser will cease to have a right of<br />
action for damages), provided that: (1) no action may be commenced to enforce a right of action: (a) for rescission more<br />
than 180 days after the date of the purchase; or (b) for damages more than the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser<br />
first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, and (ii) three years after the date of purchase; (2) the<br />
issuer will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation;<br />
(3) in an action for damages, the purchaser will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that it proves do not<br />
represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation; (4) in no case shall the amount<br />
recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were sold to the purchaser; and (5) the issuer will not be liable for a<br />
misrepresentation in forward-looking information if the issuer proves that: (a) the offering memorandum contains,<br />
proximate to the forward-looking information, reasonable cautionary language identifying the forward-looking<br />
information as such, and identifying material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from a conclusion,<br />
forecast or projection in the forward-looking information, and a statement of material factors or assumptions that were<br />
applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection set out in the forward-looking information; and (b) the<br />
issuer had a reasonable basis for drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts and projections set out in the forwardlooking<br />
information.<br />
The foregoing rights do not apply if the purchaser is: (a) a Canadian financial institution (as defined in National<br />
Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions) or a Schedule III bank; (b) the Business Development Bank<br />
of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or (c) a subsidiary of any person<br />
referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting<br />
securities required by law to be owned by directors of that subsidiary.<br />
25
Purchasers Rights - Saskatchewan<br />
Saskatchewan securities legislation provides that where an offering memorandum or amendment to the offering<br />
memorandum is sent or delivered to a purchaser that contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases a<br />
security covered by the offering memorandum is deemed to have relied upon that misrepresentation, if it was a<br />
misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and has a right of action for rescission against the issuer or a selling security<br />
holder on whose behalf the distribution is made or has a right of action for damages against: (a) the issuer or a selling<br />
security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made; (b) every promoter and director of the issuer or the selling<br />
security holder, as the case may be, at the time the offering memorandum or any amendment to it was sent or delivered;<br />
(c) every person or company whose consent has been filed respecting the offering, but only with respect to reports,<br />
opinions or statements that have been made by them; (d) every person who or company that, in addition to the persons<br />
or companies mentioned in (a) to (c) above, signed the offering memorandum or the amendment to the offering<br />
memorandum; and (e) every person who or company that sells securities on behalf of the issuer or selling security holder<br />
under the offering memorandum or amendment to the offering memorandum. Such rights of rescission and damages are<br />
subject to certain limitations including the following: (a) if the purchaser elects to exercise its right of rescission against<br />
the issuer or selling security holder, it shall have no right of action for damages against that party; (b) in an action for<br />
damages, a defendant will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that he, she or it proves do not represent the<br />
depreciation in value of the securities resulting from the misrepresentation relied on; (c) no person or company, other<br />
than the issuer or a selling security holder, will be liable for any part of the offering memorandum or any amendment to it<br />
not purporting to be made on the authority of an expert and not purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a report,<br />
opinion or statement of an expert, unless the person or company failed to conduct a reasonable investigation sufficient<br />
to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that there had been no misrepresentation or believed that there had been a<br />
misrepresentation; (d) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were offered; and<br />
(e) no person or company is liable in an action for rescission or damages if that person or company proves that the<br />
purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation.<br />
In addition, no person or company, other than the issuer or selling security holder, will be liable if the person or company<br />
proves, among other things, that: (a) the offering memorandum to it was sent or delivered without the person's or<br />
company's knowledge or consent and that, on becoming aware of it being sent or delivered, that person or company<br />
immediately gave reasonable general notice that it was so sent or delivered; or (b) with respect to any part of the offering<br />
26
Purchasers Rights - Saskatchewan<br />
memorandum purporting to be made on the authority of an expert, or purporting to be a copy of, or an extract from, a<br />
report, an opinion or a statement of an expert, that person or company had no reasonable grounds to believe and did not<br />
believe that there had been a misrepresentation, the part of the offering memorandum did not fairly represent the report,<br />
opinion or statement of the expert, or was not a fair copy of, or an extract from, the report, opinion or statement of the<br />
expert.<br />
Saskatchewan securities legislation also provides: (a) similar rights of action for damages and rescission in respect of a<br />
misrepresentation in advertising and sales literature disseminated in connection with an offering of securities; (b) that<br />
where an individual makes a verbal statement to a prospective purchaser that contains a misrepresentation relating to the<br />
security purchased and the verbal statement is made either before or contemporaneously with the purchase of the<br />
security, the purchaser is deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of<br />
purchase, and has a right of action for damages against the individual who made the verbal statement; (c) a purchaser<br />
with the right to void the purchase agreement and to recover all money and other consideration paid by the purchaser for<br />
the securities if the securities are purchased from a vendor who is trading in Saskatchewan in contravention of<br />
Saskatchewan securities legislation; and (d) a right of action for rescission or damages to a purchaser of securities to<br />
whom an offering memorandum was not sent or delivered prior to or at the same time as the purchaser enters into an<br />
agreement to purchase the securities, as required by the Saskatchewan securities legislation.<br />
Saskatchewan securities legislation provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce any of the foregoing rights<br />
more than: (a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause<br />
of action; or (b) in the case of an action for damages, the earlier of: (i) one year after the plaintiff first had knowledge of<br />
the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or (ii) six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of<br />
action.<br />
Saskatchewan securities legislation also provides a purchaser who has received an amended offering memorandum<br />
delivered in accordance with such legislation has a right to withdraw from the agreement to purchase the securities by<br />
delivering a notice to the person who or company that is selling the securities, indicating the purchaser's intention not to<br />
be bound by the purchase agreement, provided such notice is delivered by the purchaser within two business days of<br />
receiving the amended offering memorandum.<br />
27
Purchasers Rights - Manitoba<br />
In the event that an offering memorandum, together with any amendment thereto delivered to purchasers of securities<br />
resident in Manitoba, contains a misrepresentation and it is a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, the purchaser<br />
shall be deemed to have relied upon the misrepresentation and shall have, in addition to any other rights it may have at<br />
law, (a) a right of action for damages against (i) the issuer, (ii) every director of the issuer at the date of the offering<br />
memorandum (collectively, the "Directors") and (iii) every person or corporation who signed the offering memorandum<br />
(collectively, the "Signatories"), and (b) a right of rescission against the issuer.<br />

Purchasers Rights – Nova Scotia<br />
Nova Scotia securities legislation provides that if an offering memorandum or any advertising or sales literature (as<br />
defined in the Securities Act (Nova Scotia)) contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser of securities is deemed to have<br />
relied upon such misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has, subject to certain<br />
limitations and defences, a statutory right of action for damages against the seller of such securities, the directors of the<br />
seller and the persons who have signed the offering memorandum or, alternatively, while still the owner of the securities,<br />
may elect instead to exercise a statutory right of rescission against the seller, in which case the purchaser shall have no<br />
right of action for damages against the seller, the directors of the seller or the persons who have signed the offering<br />
memorandum. The rights described above are subject to certain limitations, including: (a) no action may be commenced<br />
to enforce the right of action for rescission or damages by a purchaser resident in Nova Scotia later than 120 days after<br />
the date payment was made for the securities (or after the date on which initial payment was made for the securities<br />
where payments subsequent to the initial payment are made pursuant to a contractual commitment assumed prior to, or<br />
concurrently with, the initial payment); (b) no person will be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities<br />
with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (c) in the case of an action for damages, no person will be liable for all or any<br />
portion of the damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities; and (d) in no case will<br />
the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which the securities were offered to the purchaser.<br />
The liability of all persons or companies referred to above is joint and several with respect to the same cause of action. A<br />
defendant who is found liable to pay a sum in damages may recover a contribution, in whole or in part, from a person or<br />
company who is jointly and severally liable to make the same payment in the same cause of action unless, in all the<br />
circumstances of the case, the court is satisfied that it would not be just and equitable.<br />

Purchasers Rights – New Brunswick<br />
New Brunswick securities legislation provides investors who purchase securities offered for sale in reliance on the<br />
Accredited Investor Exemption with a statutory right of action against the issuer and a selling security holder of<br />
securities for damages or against the seller of securities only, for rescission, in the event that any information relating to<br />
the offering provided to the purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Where an offering memorandum is delivered to a<br />
prospective purchaser of securities in connection with a trade made in reliance on the Accredited Investor Exemption,<br />
and the document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the securities is deemed to have relied on<br />
the misrepresentation and has, subject to certain limitations and defences, a statutory right of action against the issuer<br />
and a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution was made for damages or, while still the owner of<br />
securities, against the seller of securities for rescission. If the purchaser elects to exercise the right of rescission, the<br />
purchaser will have no right of action for damages. The right of action will be exercisable by the purchaser only if the<br />
purchaser , in the case of any action for rescission, commences an action for cancellation of the agreement not more<br />
than 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action, and, in the case of any action for<br />
damages, commences its action for damages before the earlier of: (i) one year after the plaintiff first had knowledge of the<br />
facts giving rise to the cause of action, or (ii) six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of<br />
action.<br />
A defendant is not liable for a misrepresentation if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge<br />
of the misrepresentation. In an action for damages, the defendant shall not be liable for all or any portion of the damages<br />
that the defendant proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation<br />
relied upon. In no case shall the amount recoverable for the misrepresentation exceed the price at which the securities<br />
were offered.<br />
