2. Forward Looking Statements
In the interest of providing potential investors with information regarding Shona Energy Company, Inc. (“Shona"), including management's assessment of the future plans and operations of Shona,
certain statements contained in this corporate presentation constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities
legislation. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "may", "will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should",
"believe", "outlook", "potential", "target" and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition, statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements
as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the
y p , p , q p p yp
future. Forward looking statements or information in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements or information with respect to: the expected closing date and use of proceeds from the
financing; potential reserves and future production with respect to current assets business strategy and objectives; development plans; exploration and drilling plans; reserve quantities and the
discounted present value of future net cash flows from such reserves; future production levels; wells drilled (gross and net); capital expenditures; cash flow; debt levels; operating and other costs;
royalty rates and taxes.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, Shona has made assumptions regarding, among other things: future capital expenditure levels; future oil and
natural gas prices; future oil and natural gas production levels; future exchange rates and interest rates; ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities; ability to
market oil and natural gas successfully to current and new customers; the impact of increasing competition; the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; and ability to add production and
reserves through development and exploitation activities. Although Shona believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, and the
assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place
p g , , p p p
undue reliance on forward-looking statements included in this corporate presentation, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking
statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the
predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause Shona's actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any
estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the ability of
management to execute its business plan; general economic and business conditions; the risk of instability affecting the jurisdictions in which Shona operates; the risks of the oil and natural gas
industry, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas and market demand; the possibility that government policies or laws may change or
governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld; risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and natural gas deposits; the uncertainty of reserves estimates and reserves life; the ability of
Shona to add production and reserves through acquisition, development and exploration activities; Shona's ability to enter into or renew leases; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to
exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production (including decline rates), costs and expenses; fluctuations in oil and
natural gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; risks inherent in Shona's marketing operations, including credit risk; uncertainty in amounts and timing of royalty payments;
health, safety and environmental risks; risks associated with existing and potential future law suits and regulatory actions against Shona; uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing; and
financial risks affecting the value of Shona’s investments. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible risks and uncertainties.
Any financial outlook or future oriented financial information in this corporate presentation, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of Shona. Such financial
outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned
that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
The forward-looking statements contained in this corporate presentation speak only as of the date of this corporate presentation. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, Shona
does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements
contained in this corporate presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
p p p yq y y
The information contained in this corporate presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all information that a prospective investor may require. Prospective investors are encouraged
to conduct their own analysis and reviews of Shona, and of the information contained in this corporate presentation. Without limitation, prospective investors should consider the advice of their
financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors and such other factors they consider appropriate in investigating and analyzing Shona.
Barrels of Oil Equivalent
•Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl (barrel) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
Analogous Information
•Certain noted drilling and completion data provided in this document may constitute "analogous information", such as mapping information obtained in geographical proximity to prospective
exploratory lands to be held by Shona. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Management of Shona believes the
information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics in which Shona may hold an interest. Shona is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified
reserves evaluator or auditor or in accordance with the COGE Handbook and therefore, the reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by Shona may be in error and/or may not be analogous to
such lands to be held by Shona.
