(2) For the period from May 4, 2006 (date of incorporation) to December 31, 2006. (3) Capital expenditures for the F&D calculation for the year ended December 31, 2008 were adjusted lower by $4.2 million as this relates to land purchases and their immediate disposition to a land fund; management believes including such amounts in F&D capital expenditures does not provide an accurate indication of actual F&D costs for 2008. Reversing this adjustment would have resulted in F&D costs of $24.18 (including FDC)/boe (Proved), $24.70 (excluding FDC)/boe (Proved), $16.77 (including FDC)/boe (Proved plus Probable), and $15.22 (excluding FDC)/boe (Proved plus Probable). FD&A costs are unaffected by such adjustment. (4) For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had net dispositions of reserves for purposes of the FD&A calculation. RESERVES COMMITTEE OF REDCLIFFE Redcliffe has a Reserves Committee, comprised of independent board members, that reviews the qualifications and appointment of the independent reserve evaluators. The Reserves Committee also reviews the process for providing information to the evaluators and meets with the independent evaluators to discuss the procedures used in their independent report, to review major property assessments, and to discuss any areas of risk. The evaluation in the McDaniel Report of the 2008 year-end reserves of Redcliffe was reviewed by the Reserves Committee on March 3, 2009, and approved by the Company's Board of Directors on March 11, 2009. Redcliffe is a Calgary, Alberta based company engaged in the exploration for, and development and production of conventional crude oil and natural gas reserves in western Canada. Redcliffe's strategy is to build shareholder value through internally generated exploration and development drilling, and through selective acquisitions. Redcliffe's areas of operational focus include the Peace River Arch and Pembina areas of Alberta. The Company's current production is approximately 1,350 - 1,400 boe/d (approximately 70% natural gas). Forward-Looking Statements: This news release contains certain forward-looking statements, including management's assessment of future plans and operations, and capital expenditures and the timing thereof, that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, the impact of general economic conditions in Canada, the United States and overseas, industry conditions, changes in laws and regulations (including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations) and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced, increased competition, the lack of availability of qualified personnel or management, fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates, stock market volatility and market valuations of companies with respect to announced transactions and the final valuations thereof, and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits, including the amount of proceeds, that the Company will derive there from. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could effect the Company's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com). All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as at the date of this news release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion 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.
