(1) Operating netbacks (calculated on a per-unit basis as oil, gas and natural gas liquids revenues, less
royalties, transportation and operating costs) is not a recognized measure under international financial
reporting standards.
(2) Funds generated by operations is not a prescribed IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles
measure and is calculated as oil, gas and natural gas liquids revenues, less royalties, operating costs,
general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and current income taxes on a per-unit basis
multiplied by the total number of barrels produced in the period. This is not a recognized measure under
IFRS.
(3) Net earnings (loss) per share is calculated using weighted-average shares outstanding.
(4) In accordance with IFRS, the corporation revised the amount of weighted-average shares outstanding
during the two and eight months ended Dec. 31, 2011. As there was a one-to-10-share consolidation
in the current period, the comparative periods have been adjusted accordingly.
Operations update
3MV participated in the drilling of three wells during fourth quarter 2012. 3MV
experienced similar performance on the first well comparable with the
company's type curve. The second well drilled has operational issues, which the company is working to solve. The company began drilling the
third well before year-end, and, based on preliminary testing, the well
has good geological shows and is awaiting financing for completion.
Outlook
3MV Energy intends to focus its drilling and production efforts on its
highly productive Fiske light oil discovery for 2013. In early 2013,
the company acquired 53 sections of land in the area, which has
solidified its asset base and creates potential for further growth and
expansion through the drill bit. The company will continue to explore
financing opportunities, debt arrangements and joint ventures in 2013
to build on shareholder value. The company will also continue its focus
on cost reductions to optimize operational margins and cash flow.
We seek Safe Harbor.
