FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: In the interest of providing Bellatrix’s shareholders and potential investors with information regarding Bellatrix, including management’s
assessment of Bellatrix’s future plans and operations, certain statements made by the presenter and contained in these presentation materials (collectively, this “presentation”)
are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and “forward-looking statements”. The forward-looking
statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation and are expresslyqualified bythis cautionary statement.
Certain information contained herein may contain forward looking statements including management's assessment of future plans and operations, drilling plans and the timing
thereof, commodity price risk management strategies, expected 2014 average production and exit rate, estimates of commodity prices and exchange rates, estimated recovery
from wells to be drilled in 2014 capital expenditures and nature of expenditures and method of financing thereof and drilling inventory and costs and time to develop, estimated
2014 Revenues, expected 2014 operating costs and estimated 2014 cash from operations, cash per share and estimated 2014 debt levels, may constitute forward-looking
statements under applicable securities laws and necessarily involve risks including, 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, actual results from wells to be
drilled may not be similar to the results from previous wells drilled, environmental risks, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services,
incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals
and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. The recovery and estimates of Bellatrix's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no
guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of the risk factors
set out and other known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Bellatrix. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is
not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which have been used. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements. Additional information on these and other factors that could effect Bellatrix's operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities
regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or at
Bellatrix's website (www.bellatrixexploration.com). Estimated 2014 cash from operations, cash per share and 2014 year end debt levels may constitute financial outlooks under
applicable securities laws and were approved by management on March 12, 2014. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as at the date hereof and Bellatrix
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.
NON-GAAP MEASURES: This presentation contains the term "cash from operations" which should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than "cash flow from
operating activities" as determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP as an indicator of the Company's performance. Therefore reference to cash from operations or cash from
operations per share may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Management uses cash from operations to analyze operating performance
and leverage and considers cash 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. The reconciliation between cash flow from operating activities and funds flow from operations (the Company calculates funds flow from operations in the same
manner as cash from operations) can be found in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis. Cash from operations per share is calculated using the weighted
average number of shares for the period.

ADVISORY
FD&A COSTS: This presentation includes calculations of finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs for the year ended December 31, 2013. National Instrument 51-101
Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") requires that written disclosure of finding and development costs to be calculated in accordance with Section 5.15 of
NI 51-101 which does not include the reserves additions associated with acquisitions or the costs of acquisitions in the calculation. The calculations of FD&A in this presentation
include the reserves additions associated with acquisitions and the costs of acquisitions as the Company believes that including the effect of acquisitions provides useful information
to investors. FD&A costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are $9.67/boe and $6.95/ proved plus probable boe respectively and the average FD&A for the last three
completed years is $9.01/ proved plus probable boe. The finding and developments costs calculated in accordance with Section 5.15 of NI 51-101 for the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2012 are $10.67/proved boe ($9.65/proved plus probable boe) and $11.73/proved boe ($7.31/proved plus probable boe) and the average finding and development costs
for the last three completed years is $11.47/proved boe ($8.86/proved plus probable boe). The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent
financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that
year.
BOE PRESENTATION The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to
one barrel of oil equivalent (6 mcf/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 that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a
conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. All boe conversions in this presentation are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic
feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
INITIAL PRODUCTION RATES: Initial Production rates discloses herein may not be indicative of long-term performance or ultimate recovery.
ESTIMATED ULTIMATE RECOVERY (EUR): In this presentation, estimated ultimate recovery for Cardium oil wells is a representative value within the range of estimates of proved
plus probable reserves per well as evaluated by Sproule Associates Limited effective December 31, 2013 based on forecast prices and costs. Estimated ultimate recovery for
Notikewin wells is a representative value within the range of estimates of proved plus probable reserves per well as evaluated by Sproule Associates Limited effective December 31,
2013 based on forecast prices and costs. Estimated ultimate recovery for Duvernay wells does not represent an estimate of resources but has been provided to show management's
assumptions used for its internal projections and plans. There is no certainty that any resources will be discovered for such Duvernay wells. If discovered, there is no certainty that it
will be commerciallyviable to produce any portion of the resources.
CURRENCY: All dollar amounts in this presentation are Canadian dollars unless otherwise identified.
