NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Yoho Resources Inc. ("Yoho" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:YO) has filed today on SEDAR the financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and the related managements' discussion and analysis. Copies of these documents may be found on www.sedar.com. Highlights -- Yoho's production during fiscal Q3 2012 averaged 2,442 boe per day (75% natural gas), a 10% increase from fiscal Q2 production. The Company has approximately 700 boe per day of behind pipe production that is scheduled to come on-stream over the next few months. -- Notwithstanding substantially decreased natural gas prices, Yoho generated funds from operations for fiscal Q3 2012 of $2.4 million ($0.05 per share basic and diluted). -- Net exploration and development expenditures for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $27.7 million with Yoho participating in drilling 5 (2.1 net) liquids-rich gas wells with an overall success rate of 100%. -- The Company maintained a flexible balance sheet with total net debt of $21.2 million at June 30, 2012 with a bank credit facility of $52 million. The credit facility was reconfirmed with the Company's lender in June 2012. At June 30, 2012, Yoho had spent approximately 85% of the estimated capital expenditures for the year and plans on spending an additional $6 to $8 million for the balance of fiscal 2012. Operations Update Kaybob, Alberta At Kaybob, Yoho participated in a horizontal Duvernay well at 5-11-60-20 W5 which was drilled in fiscal Q2 and completed in Q3 (Yoho 33.33% working interest). Due to drilling issues and impending spring breakup, the well lateral section was shortened to 889 metres. Completion operations commenced in June, 2012 and the operator experienced difficulty in successfully fracing all of the planned frac stages, with approximately 40% of the planned intervals experiencing a successful frac. The well did, however, test at rates of 2.7 mmcf per day and 130 barrels per day of condensate through production tubing at the end of a 48 hour in-line test. Total liquids recovery, including propane, butane and condensate, is expected to be approximately 80 to 100 barrels per mmcf. This well is tied into production facilities, but currently shut-in for a 30 day period to conduct a pressure build-up test. This is the fifth horizontal Duvernay well that Yoho has participated in the Kaybob area. All five of the horizontal wells, which were drilled strategically throughout Yoho's land base, have tested gas with very high associated liquids. The results of the wells drilled to date have delineated the extent of the hydrocarbon resource over Yoho's entire land base at Kaybob. The Company is currently participating in one additional delineation well located at 16-33-59-19 W5 (13.8% working interest) situated in the very south-east part of Yoho's land block. Yoho is currently planning its first company operated development pad consisting of two horizontal wells (50% working interest) on the Tony Creek land block (Township 62, Range 21 W5) for calendar Q4 2012. It is expected that the efficiencies achieved drilling multiple wells on a common pad will substantially reduce costs on a per well basis. Due to extremely wet conditions in the Kaybob area over the last several months, Yoho has suspended pipelining operations of the 11.6 kilometer Yoho operated pipeline (50% working interest) that will tie-in a liquids-rich gas well at the northern portion of the land base. The Company will monitor ground conditions and will recommence pipelining activity when field conditions are appropriate. If surface conditions persist for the balance of summer and fall, resumption of pipelining activity may take place after freeze-up. To date, approximately 25% of this project has been completed. Nig, British Columbia At Nig, British Columbia, Yoho is planning to drill a vertical Montney well in September 2012 on the south-east portion of its land block. Yoho is also proceeding with the construction a 7.2 kilometer operated sour gas pipeline at Nig (50% working interest) which will enable gas/liquids wells from the northern portion of the Company's land block, currently shut in, to be brought on-stream. Additional activity at Nig for fiscal 2013 will be reviewed in light of current commodity prices. Outlook For fiscal 2013, Yoho is currently planning a total capital program of between $35.0 and $38.0 million. The exploration program and related capital budget is weighted to drilling the two unconventional plays at Kaybob and Nig, with the majority of the capital allocated to the Duvernay at Kaybob. A total of seven horizontal Duvernay wells (3 net wells) at Kaybob are currently planned to be drilled for fiscal 2013. Yoho's fiscal 2013 budget assumes an oil price of $90.00 per barrel at Edmonton and posted gas price of $2.82 per GJ at AECO. It is estimated that overall production for fiscal 2013 will average approximately 3,100 to 3,200 boe per day with exit production estimated at 3,400 to 3,500 boe per day. Activity levels for both the remainder of fiscal 2012 and for fiscal 2013 will continue to be monitored to align capital expenditures with expected cash flow and available credit lines. Yoho Resources Inc. is a Calgary based junior oil and natural gas company with operations focusing in west central Alberta, northeast British Columbia and the Peace River Arch of Alberta. The common shares of Yoho are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "YO".

Non-IFRS Financial Measures The MD&A contains the term "funds from operations" and "funds from operations per share" which do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Management uses funds from operations and funds from operations per share to analyze operating performance and leverage and considers funds from operations to be a key measure as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate the cash necessary to fund future capital investments and to repay debt. Funds from operations should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than cash flow from operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. Therefore references to funds from operations or funds from operations per share (basic and diluted) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Yoho calculates funds from operations per share using the same method used in the determination of net income per share. Yoho also uses "operating netbacks" and per boe metrics as key performance indicators. These terms do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other companies. Management considers netbacks an important measure as it demonstrates its profitability relative to current commodity prices. The Company uses this measure to help evaluate its performance. BOE equivalent Barrel of oil equivalents or BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio 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. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 mcf: 1 bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl may be a misleading indication of value.
