4 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BASIS OF PRESENTATION The reporting and the measurement currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. For the purpose of calculating unit costs, natural gas is converted to a barrel of oil equivalent ( boe ) using six thousand cubic feet of natural gas equal to one barrel of oil unless otherwise stated. The term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio for gas of 6 Mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Mosaic is a private oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration for and the development, production and acquisition of, petroleum and natural gas reserves in Western Canada. The Company is primarily focused on multi zone horizons in the deep basin of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. NON-IFRS MEASUREMENTS Within the MD&A references are made to terms commonly used in the oil and gas industry, including operating netback, net debt and working capital (deficiency) and funds from operations. These non-ifrs financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. However they are included in this report as they are key measurement tools used by management to analyze operating and financial performance. Funds from operations represent funds from operating activities before adjustments for decommissioning liability expenditures and net changes in non-cash working capital. The Company evaluates its performance based on earnings and funds from operations and considers funds from operations a key measure in demonstrating its ability to generate the funds necessary to fund future growth through capital investment and to repay debt. Funds from operations per share is calculated using the same weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of net income per share. The following table reconciles Mosaic s cash provided by operating activities to funds from operations: ($ thousands) % Change Cash provided by operating activities 14,633 19,965 (27) Add back: Change in non-cash working capital 3,245 (1,610) (302) Funds from operations 17,878 18,355 (3) Net debt and working capital deficiency is calculated as cash and net working capital including commodity contract assets and liabilities and demand credit facilities. Management uses net debt and working capital deficiency as a means of estimating Mosaic s assets and obligations expected to be settled in cash. The following table outlines Mosaic s calculation of net debt and working capital deficiency: ($ thousands) March 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 Demand credit facility (31,419) (16,458) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (31,008) (42,041) Accounts receivable 15,788 13,731 Commodity contracts (13,195) (7,762) Prepaid expenses and other 2,888 2,998 Net debt and working capital deficiency (56,946) (49,532) As at As at 2014 First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd.

5 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Operating Netback equals total revenue less royalties, operating costs and transportation costs which management utilizes to measure and analyze operating performance relative to commodity prices. This benchmark as presented does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculations of similar measures for other entities. The calculation of Mosaic s netbacks can be seen below in the Operating Netbacks section. PRODUCTION Product % Change Oil (bbl/d) 1,337 1,727 (23) Natural gas (mcf/d) 34,601 36,086 (4) Natural gas liquids (bbl/d) 1,794 1, Total Production (boe/d) 8,898 9,371 (5) Total cumulative production (boe) 800, ,418 (5) % Oil and liquids production 35% 36% (3) Overall corporate production for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased 5 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease is mainly a result of the disposition of the Company s Redwater property in December 2013 and natural decline on producing properties. Major area % Change Northern 2,404 2, West-Central 6,070 6,021 1 East-Central (90) Other (46) Total Production (boe/d) 8,898 9,371 (5) During the first quarter, production in the Company s Northern area increased 19 percent compared to first quarter 2013, mainly as a result of the Company s 2013 drilling program which primarily focused on the Northern area. Production volumes in the East-Central area decreased 90 percent as a result of the Redwater disposition in December of The Company s first quarter production increased 1 percent from 8,800 boe per day in the fourth quarter of Production in the Northern area increased 21 percent compared to fourth quarter 2013 production of 1,981 boe per day, as a result of two wells brought on at the end of December 2013 combined with the Company s ability to restart wells previously shut-in due to capacity constraints on third party infrastructure in the Jayar area. East-Central production decreased 87 percent when compared to the fourth quarter 2013 as a result of the Redwater area disposition in December First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 5

6 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REVENUE ($ thousands except per unit amounts) % Change Sales revenue Oil 11,245 13,164 (15) Natural gas 18,594 11, Natural gas liquids 11,054 7, Total sales revenue 40,893 32, Realized gain (loss) on commodity contracts (5,670) 984 (676) Other income (19) Total revenue before royalties 36,007 34,152 5 Average prices Oil ($/bbl) Natural gas ($/mcf) Natural gas liquids ($/bbl) Average price Average price including commodity contracts Benchmark pricing (CDN$) WTI crude oil ($US/bbl) Edmonton MSW ($/bbl) NYMEX Henry Hub ($US/mmbtu) AECO 5A Daily Spot ($/mcf) Exchange rate (US$/CDN$) (9) The Company s production is predominately sold on the spot market and as a result, sales prices received fluctuate in tandem with prevailing market prices. Overall corporate revenue for the first quarter 2014 is up from the same period last year mainly due to increases in realized prices for all products and increased natural gas liquids production. First quarter 2014 oil price increased 10 percent from the first quarter 2013, while total oil revenue decreased 15 percent due to the decrease in oil production as a result of the Redwater disposition. The corporate gas price increased 72 percent compared to first quarter 2013 which resulted in a 65 percent increase in natural gas revenue when combined with the decrease in gas production. Mosaic s liquids price for the first quarter 2014 increased 29 percent from the same period last year, which combined with the increase in liquids production, resulted in the 42 percent increase in natural gas liquids revenue. Total sales revenue for the first quarter increased 27 percent from the same period last year, mainly as a result of the increased realized prices for all products and increase in liquids production which contributes to a higher average realized price. Total sales revenue for the first quarter 2014 increased 31 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 mainly as a result of the 32 percent increase in the average realized price. Oil revenue for the first quarter 2014 increased 18 percent mainly as a result of the 17 percent increase in average oil prices. A 54 percent increase in natural gas prices in the first quarter of 2014 resulted in a corresponding 53 percent increase in natural gas revenue over the previous quarter. Natural gas liquids revenue for the first quarter 2014 increased 15 percent compared to fourth quarter 2013 as a result of a 19 percent increase in natural gas liquids prices First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd.

7 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT Gain (loss) on commodity contracts ($ thousands) % Change Realized (5,670) 984 (676) Unrealized (5,433) (8,111) (33) Total (11,103) (7,127) 56 The Company has adopted a risk management program designed to reduce volatility in financial results and to ensure a certain level of cash flow to fund planned capital expenditure programs. The Company recognized a realized loss on commodity contracts of $5.7 million (2013 $1.0 million gain) for the three months ended March 31, The Company recognized an unrealized loss on commodity contracts of $5.4 million (2013 $8.1 million loss) for the three months ended March 31, The fair value, or mark-to-market value, of these contracts is based on the estimated amount that would have been received or paid to settle the contracts as at March 31, 2014 and may be different from what will eventually be realized. The unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is a result of higher forecasted future oil and gas prices at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 on the Company s commodity contracts that were outstanding at December 31, 2013 and March 31, The fair value of the commodity contracts outstanding at March 31, 2014 is reflected as a liability of $13.2 million (December 31, 2013 a net liability of $7.8 million). Mosaic has hedged approximately 55 percent of current production for As new production is brought on, management will continue to monitor the Company s level of hedged production as part of its risk management strategy. The following is a summary of commodity contracts outstanding at March 31, 2014: Crude oil Term Type Volume Price Basis January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 Swap 900 bbls/d $91.24 WTI converted to CDN$ January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 Call 250 bbls/d $90.00 WTI - US$ January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015 Swap 600 bbls/d $89.82 WTI converted to CDN$ July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Swap 600 bbls/d $89.35 WTI converted to CDN$ Natural gas Term Type Volume Price Basis January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 Swap 8,000 gj/d $3.23 AECO January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 Swap 8,000 gj/d $3.34 AECO January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Swap 5,000 gj/d $3.85 AECO January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015 Swap 5,000 gj/d $3.73 AECO January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015 Swap 5,000 gj/d $3.76 AECO 2014 First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd.

8 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OTHER INCOME ($ thousands) % Change Royalty income (38) Processing income (16) Total other income (19) Other income is primarily derived from third parties processing their natural gas through Company owned facilities. The largest contributor of gas gathering and processing revenue is generated from the Gilby gas plant. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, processing income decreased 16 percent compared to the same period in 2013 as a result of a decrease in third party volumes processed. Royalty income decreased 38 percent as a result of the Redwater disposition, in December Processing income for the first quarter 2014 remained consistent with fourth quarter 2013 processing income of $0.7 million, while royalty income decreased from the fourth quarter 2013 as a result of the Redwater disposition, in December ROYALTIES ($ thousands) % Change Royalties 6,083 4, Gas cost allowance (1,295) (1,173) 10 Net royalties 4,788 3, % of revenue 12% 10% 20 Royalty rates are dependent on a number of factors including product type, product prices, production rates, well types and depths and ownership of the reserves being produced. Generally, the greatest impact on the movement in Mosaic s royalty rates is related to pricing. In addition, there are specific new oil and gas wells drilled in Alberta that receive a royalty rate reduction ( royalty holiday ) on all volumes produced to a certain threshold. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net royalties increased 52 percent to $4.8 million from $3.2 million for the same period in The Company s average royalty rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 12 percent of revenue compared to 10 percent for the same period in Royalties increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 as a result of the increase in commodity prices combined with one of the Company s Northern wells coming off royalty holiday during the first quarter of Royalties increased 87 percent during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 at $2.6 million and 8 percent of total revenue for the three month periods for the same reasons as mentioned above First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd.

9 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OPERATING AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Operating costs 9,761 9,679 1 $ per boe Transportation costs $ per boe Total production expense 10,513 10,351 2 $ per boe Operating expenses totaled $9.8 million or $12.19 per boe for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $9.7 million or $11.48 per boe in the first quarter of Transportation expenses totaled $0.8 million or $0.94 per boe for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0.7 million or $0.80 per boe in the first quarter of Operating expenses increased on a total and per boe basis mainly due to the higher cost of trucking oil and natural gas liquids volumes. The Company also continues to bring on oil and liquids production which has higher associated operating and transportation costs per boe. Lower production during the quarter has also contributed to the increased per boe costs when compared to the prior period. Operating expenses for the first quarter 2014 were 6 percent lower than fourth quarter 2013 levels of $10.4 million or $12.87 per boe. The decrease is due to the increase in production and the Company s focus on reducing operating costs in its core areas and the sale of the Company s Redwater area which contributed to higher operating expenses. The Company expects to continue to invest in earlier stage opportunities in the near term which typically results in higher operating costs, which are expected to be offset by higher sales revenue. Management anticipates operating costs (including transportation) will likely remain at current levels on a per boe basis throughout OPERATING NETBACK ($ per boe) % Change Sales revenue¹ Other income (15) Royalties (5.98) (3.75) 59 Operating costs (12.19) (11.48) 6 Transportation (0.94) (0.80) 18 Operating netback Operating netback ex. realized commodity contracts ¹ Sales revenue includes realized gain (loss) on commodity contracts Operating income expressed on a unit of production basis was $25.85 for the first quarter 2014, which represents an increase of 6 percent from the same period last year. The higher average sales prices were offset by increased royalties, operating and transportation costs. For the first quarter 2014 the Company s risk management program reduced operating income by $7.08 per barrel of oil equivalent, largely due to the increasing commodity prices First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 9

10 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Company s operating netback for the first quarter of 2014 increased 13 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 operating netback of $22.94 per boe, largely due to the increase in commodity prices. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("G&A") ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Gross G&A expense 3,530 3, Overhead recoveries and capitalized G&A (1,011) (708) 43 Net G&A costs 2,519 2,375 6 $ per boe For the first quarter of 2014, G&A, net of capitalized and overhead recovery amounts, was $2.5 million or $3.15 per boe as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 where G&A expenses were $2.4 million or $2.82 per boe. G&A expenses increased as a result of higher staffing levels that were brought on throughout 2013 combined with one time payments made for the purpose of reducing staffing levels during the first quarter of First quarter 2014 overhead recoveries and capitalized G&A costs are 43 percent higher than the same period of 2013, mainly due to higher capitalization rates for directly attributable G&A. During the second half of 2013 the Company performed a review the items being capitalized and concluded an increased capitalization rate was appropriate given the increase in capital spending throughout 2013 and anticipated for Gross G&A expense for the first quarter 2014 decreased 13 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 as a result of fees associated with the year-end financial statement audit, independent reserve evaluation and transaction fees for the disposition of the Redwater properties that were incurred during the fourth quarter FINANCE COSTS ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Interest and bank charges Accretion expense Total finance costs Finance costs $ per boe Interest costs $ per boe Interest expense includes interest on outstanding debt, stand-by fees on unused credit lines and the cost of setting up the credit facility. Total interest charges for the first quarter have increased 100 percent from the first quarter 2013 as the Company had increased debt in connection with the 2013 and 2014 capital programs. For the first quarter 2013 the Company had no outstanding debt as a result of the $122.9 million financing completed in November of 2012, and therefore no interest expense was incurred. Total finance costs for the first quarter 2014 decreased 16 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013, due to lower debt levels as the Company incurred lower capital expenditures combined with the proceeds from the Redwater disposition in December First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 10

11 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ( E&E ) ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change E&E expense 1, $ per boe Under IFRS, the Company accumulates costs related to E&E assets pending determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the asset. E&E costs are primarily for seismic data and undeveloped land. Costs related to undeveloped land that is no longer intended for development, as well as costs of undeveloped land expiries are expensed as they occur. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded E&E expense of $1.2 million or $1.52 per boe, which related to lease expiries in several of the Company s areas, versus nil in the same period of E&E expenses for the first quarter 2014 increased 37 percent compared to fourth quarter 2013 as a result of a higher number of expiries in the first quarter STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Stock-based compensation 691 1,212 (43) $ per boe (40) Stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million was recognized for the first quarter of 2014 decreasing 43 percent from the $1.2 million in first quarter 2013 largely due to the 2.0 million stock options granted in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 0.5 million granted in the first three months of The graded vesting schedule for calculating stock-based compensation attributes a higher percentage of expense to the years immediately following the grant. Stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter 2014 decreased 42 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 expense of $1.2 million or $1.46 per boe, as a result of a larger portion of the stock-based compensation is being capitalized. DEPLETION AND DEPRECIATION ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Depletion of oil and gas assets 10,799 12,552 (14) Depreciation of fixed assets Total depletion and depreciation 10,843 12,567 (14) $ per boe (9) For the first quarter of 2014, depletion and depreciation expense was $10.9 million or $13.54 per boe as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in which the expense was $12.6 million or $14.90 per boe. The decrease in depletion and depreciation expense is largely due to a significant increase in reserves as at December 31, 2013 and a further increase as at March 31, 2014 related to the Company s Northern area. Depletion and depreciation expense for the first quarter 2014 decreased 9 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 expense of $11.8 million or $14.63 per boe, for the same reasons as mentioned above First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 11

12 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS TAXES ($ thousands, except per boe amounts) % Change Deferred income tax recovery (46) (611) (92) $ per boe (0.06) (0.72) (92) Deferred income tax recovery totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, The decrease for the three month period relates to higher pre-tax losses during the three months ended March 31, Deferred income tax recovery for the first quarter 2014 increased 226 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 expense of $1.8 million or $2.26 per boe. The increase was largely the result of an impairment reversal recognized during the fourth quarter of ESTIMATED TAX POOLS ($ thousands) March 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 CEE 1,460 1,407 CDE 147, ,841 COGPE 64,565 69,519 UCC 61,629 59,417 Loss carry forwards 35,266 34,691 Other 935 1,104 Total tax pools 311, ,979 CASH AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS & NET LOSS ($ thousands except per share amounts) % Change Cash provided by operating activities 14,633 19,965 (27) Funds from operations 17,878 18,355 (3) Per share basic (4) Per share diluted (4) Net loss (833) (3,045) (73) Per share basic (0.02) (0.08) (75) Per share diluted (0.02) (0.08) (75) Weighted average shares outstanding (000's) Basic 38,609 38,609 - Diluted 38,609 38,609 - For the three months ended March 31, 2014, funds flow from operations decreased by 3 percent to $17.9 million compared to $18.4 million during the same period of Basic and diluted funds flow from operations per share for the quarter was $0.46 per share compared to $0.48 per basic and diluted share during the same period of This decrease is mainly the result of the realized losses on derivative contracts during the first quarter of For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.8 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.08 per basic and diluted share in the same period of The Company s net loss for the quarter decreased primarily due to the increase in petroleum and natural gas revenues First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 12

13 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the three months ended March 31, 2014, funds flow from operations increased by 18 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 with funds flow of $15.2 million or $0.39 per basic and diluted share. This increase is mainly due to increased sales revenues as a result of increased commodity prices. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net loss increased 120 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2013 net income of $4.4 million or $0.11 per basic and diluted share. This increase is mainly the result of an impairment reversal that was recorded on assets in the Company s Northern area in the fourth quarter of CAPITAL EXPENDITURES ($ thousands) % Change Land - 3,008 (100) Geological and geophysical Drilling and completions 16,329 18,595 (12) Equipment and facilities 6,773 9,678 (30) Other Exploration and development 24,081 31,921 (25) Property acquisitions - 1,004 (100) Property dispositions¹ (4,222) Net capital expenditures 19,859 32,925 (40) ¹ Represents the cash proceeds from the sale of assets. Total exploration and development expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $24.1 million compared to $31.9 million for the same period in The decrease in capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is mainly due to lower land acquisition costs combined with slightly lower drilling activities during the quarter. Management expects capital spending to increase following the spring break-up period. Net capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $19.9 million compared to $32.9 million for the same period in The Company disposed of all its petroleum and natural gas properties and related facilities in the Hanna area of Alberta during the first quarter of 2014 for total consideration of $4.2 million. First quarter exploration and development expenditures were $17.3 million lower than fourth quarter 2013 mainly due to lower drilling and completion activities. Net capital expenditures were $19.9 million compared to net proceeds of $4.5 million, mainly as a result of the proceeds from the Redwater disposition in December The Company s net drilling, completion and equipping activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is summarized below:, 2014 Net wells by Area Spud RR Comp Equip Northern West-Central East-Central Other Totals During the first quarter of 2014, the Company drilled 1 gross (1 net) well in its Northern Area. The Company completed and brought on stream 2 gross (2 net) wells in the first quarter of 2014, both were drilled in the fourth quarter of First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 13

14 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital funding At March 31, 2014, Mosaic had available a $150 million syndicated revolving demand credit facility. The credit facility bears interest at prime plus a range of 0.75 percent to 2.50 percent depending on Mosaic s debt to cash flow ratio (as defined by the lender) and is secured by a $275 million fixed and floating charge debenture on the assets of the Company. Under the terms of the credit facility, Mosaic is required to meet certain financial and engineering reporting requirements and maintain an adjusted working capital ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 at all times.

15 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Capital structure The Company s policy is to maintain a strong capital structure for the objectives of maintaining financial flexibility, creditor and investor confidence, and to execute on strategies throughout the business cycle. The Company considers its capital structure to include equity, bank debt and working capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying petroleum and natural gas assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may from time to time issue new shares, adjust its capital spending, hedge future revenue, issue new debt or replace existing debt. The Company monitors net debt to annualized funds from operations as one measure of the Company's ability to manage its debt levels under current operating conditions. The ratio represents the time period it would require to pay off debt if no further capital expenditures were incurred and if funds from operations remained constant. The Company monitors this ratio and endeavours to keep long term levels below 2.0 to 1. The ratio may fluctuate as a result of acquisitions or low commodity prices. As shown below, as at March 31, 2014, the Company s ratio of net debt to annualized funds from operations was 0.80 to 1 (December 31, to 1). The Company plans to continue its strategy of divesting of noncore properties, will adjust its annual capital expenditure program if necessary or may consider other forms of financing in order to maintain its financial flexibility.

Supplemental cash flow information Changes in non-cash working capital is comprised of: For the three months ended March 31, Accounts receivable (2,057) 1,906 Prepaids and other Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (11,033) 4,462 Change in non-cash working capital (12,980) 6,439 Related to operating activities (3,245) 1,610 Related to investing activities (9,735) 4,829 Change in non-cash working capital (12,980) 6, Financial instruments and risk management The Company s financial instruments recognized on the statement of financial position consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank debt and commodity contracts. The Company classifies the fair value of derivative contracts according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument. Level 1 Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1. Prices are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward rates for interest rate, time value and volatility factors, each of which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Level 3 Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The Company s commodity contracts have been assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above. The commodity contracts are classified as Level 2. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level. The Company s activities expose it to credit, liquidity and market risks that arise as a result of its exploration, development, production, and financing activities. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company s business objectives and risk tolerance levels. Risk management is ultimately established by the board of directors and is implemented by management. The fair value of forward contracts and swaps is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted prices and published forward price curves at the period end date using remaining contracted oil and natural gas volumes. The fair value of options is based on option models that use published information with respect to volatility, prices, and interest rates First Quarter Report Mosaic Energy Ltd. Page 26
