Outlook:
PetroNova is continuing with its scheduled exploration plans and commitments and anticipates the following activities to occur during the remainder of 2014:
In Colombia, extractive industries are experiencing delays in the process of acquiring drilling permits. While the Company has a good number of permits and continues to progress its exploration drilling program, part of this progress is dependent upon receipt of future government approvals or permits.

* Disclosure of Reserves Data:
The 2013 reserves data contained herein is based upon an independent evaluation by Petrotech Engineering Ltd. ("Petrotech") with an effective date of December 31, 2013 (the "2013 Petrotech Report") and the 2012 reserves data contained herein is based upon an independent evaluation by Petrotech with an effective date of December 31, 2012 (the "2012 Petrotech Report"). The 2013 Petrotech Report and 2012 Petrotech Reserves Report were prepared in accordance with the standards contained in the COGE Handbook and the reserves definitions contained in NI 51-101 and CSA Notice 51-324. All of the Company's reserves are located onshore in Colombia and are attributable to the Llanos Blocks, of which the Company has a 20% interest. As at December 31, 2013, no reserves were attributable to the PUT-2 Block or the Tinigua Block.
The forecast pricing assumptions employed by Petrotech in estimating the Company's 2013 and 2012 reserves data are contained in the AIF and the annual information form of the Corporation dated April 18, 2013 for the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.
It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented represent the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's crude oil reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. In addition, the estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. Readers should review the definitions and more detailed information contained in the AIF.
