Q1 Cash Flow Beats On Royalties; Shut-ins & Nisku Declines Challenge Production Daylight reported Q1 results yesterday that were in line on a production basis, but a beat on cash flow. Q1 production of 39,250 Boe/d was in line with our forecasts, while cash flow came in at $0.46/share, 18% above our forecast and 21% above consensus. Variance to cash flow forecasts was primarily due to other income in the form of drilling incentive recoveries related to third parties. Without other income from drilling incentive recoveries, cash flow would have been essentially in line with consensus at $0.37/share. Adjusting for the impact of extended downtime at Daylight's K3 gas plant and declining production at its Nisku oil play, we have trimmed our 2011 and 2012 production forecasts to 39,100 Boe/d and 43,500 Boe/d, respectively (from 39,375 Boe/d and 44,500 Boe/d previously). We are maintaining our Sector Outperformer rating on Daylight, but trimming our target to $14.00 (from $14.25, previously) incorporating a gassier production mix (partially offset by emerging Rock Creek value). We continue to believe Daylight shares represent excellent value today.

We believe shares of Daylight represent excellent value at current levels. We would also highlight Daylight as excellent way to play natural gas defensively, as we believe that investors are currently paying for little or none of Daylight's significant natural gas resource potential. Potential Catalysts: In the near-term, possible catalysts include additional well results from the company's Pembina Cardium oil and its extensive natural gas resource play drilling activities. We would also highlight the possibility of Daylight striking a joint venture at Elmworth (AB) to develop its natural gas resource potential as a near term catalyst. Key Assets: Key assets include Daylight's Cardium tight oil at Pembina (AB), and its natural gas resource plays at Elmworth (AB) which is prospective for the Nikanassin, Cadomin, Montney, and Bluesky formations. Other notable assets include its and Belly River light oil play at Pembina (AB). Relative Valuation: Daylight is currently trading at a Price to Risked NAV ratio of 78% and a 2011E EV/DACF multiple of 7.8x (versus the group averages of 91% and 9.1x, respectively) while providing a current yield of 5.9% (versus the group average of 5.1%). Our 12-18 month price target of $14.00/share is based on a 1.1x target multiple to our Risked NAV of $13.03/share (less forecast dividends of $0.60/share) versus the group average of 1.1x.

Q1 Cash Flow Beats On Royalties; Shut-ins And Nisku Declines Challenge Production Daylight ( SO) reported first-quarter results yesterday that were in line on a production basis, but a significant beat on cash flow. Actual quarterly production of 39,250 Boe/d was previously announced and in line with our forecasts. Reported Q1 cash flow came in at $0.46/share, 18% above our forecast of $0.39/share and 21% above consensus of expectations of $0.38/share. Variance to cash flow forecasts was primarily due to other income in the form of drilling incentive recoveries related to third parties. Without other income from drilling incentive recoveries, cash flow would have been $0.37/share. Since the drilling credit incentive program ceased as of March 31, 2011, we are modeling some retroactive revenue in Q2, but none thereafter. Adjusting for the impact of extended downtime at its K3 gas plant and 1,400 Boe/d of disposed production, Daylight now expects Q2 volumes to average ~36,500 Boe/d, Q3 to average 39,000 Boe/d, Q4 to average 42,000 Boe/d, and 2011 exit volumes to be 43,000 Boe/d. Key to note, average 2011 production is now expected to be 60% weighted to natural gas (versus 56%, previously). Q1 results are summarized at right in Exhibit 2. Daylight had capital spending of $115.3MM in Q1 and drilled 24 gross (17.3 net) wells with a 96% success rate. Of note during the quarter, on March 14 Daylight announced a mechanical failure at its non-operated K3 gas plant, which led to shut-in production of ~8,500 Boe/d of natural gas. Subsequent to quarter-end, the K3 gas plant was brought back on line, but was shut down again in early May. Daylight expects that ~7,000 Boe/d will be shut in for four to eight weeks; however, cash flow will be protected by interruption insurance after 30 days. Also of note in Q2, several of Daylight s Nisku wells started producing with higher water cuts and, as a result, oil production from the Nisku decreased ~1,500 Bbls/d during the quarter. Daylight expects to add submersible pumps to slow declining Nisku production. Finally, also subsequent to quarter-end, Daylight disposed of 1,600 Boe/d of non-core production for proceeds of $44MM.

Of note operationally, in the Pembina area Daylight placed 3 (2.3 net) vertical Rock Creek wells on stream in Q2 with 30-day IPs of 2.2 MMcf/d, 4.3 MMcf/d, and 8.2 MMcf/d with over 50 Bbls/MMcf of liquids. We believe these are very promising rates for vertical wells with drilling costs close to $2.5MM/well. Daylight plans to experiment with horizontal wells in the Rock Creek, and believes upcoming results have the potential to open up significant new potential in the Pembina area. The company has over 70 net sections of land in the Rock Creek fairway at Pembina, which it believes can be drilled to a density of two to three wells per section. 3

Increased spending is slated for an additional six Cardium oil wells and six additional Rock Creek wells in 2011. Adjusting for the impact of extended downtime at its K3 gas plant and declining production at its Nisku oil play, we have trimmed our 2011 and 2012 production forecasts to 39,100 Boe/d and 43,500 Boe/d, respectively (from 39,375 Boe/d and 44,500 Boe/d previously). Key to note, average 2011E production is now expected to be 60% weighted to natural gas (versus 56% previously). Adjusting our model for lower production and a gassier production mix, our cash flow forecast has decreased by 3% in 2011 and decreased 10% in 2012 to $1.61/share and $1.97/share, respectively (versus $1.67/share and $2.17/share, previously). Daylight has an estimated 2011 total debt to cash flow ratio of 2.3x (versus the group average of 1.7x), with 44% of its $625MM credit lines currently drawn (versus the group average of 38%). We note that we estimate a total payout ratio for Daylight of 140% in 2011 versus the group average total payout ratio of 124%. Maintain Sector Outperformer Rating; Emerging Rock Creek Value Partially Offsets Gassier Production Mix We are maintaining our Sector Outperformer rating on Daylight, and trimming our price target slightly to $14.00/share (from $14.25 per share previously). Our target price is based on a 1.1x target multiple to a decreased Risked NAV estimate of $13.03 per share (in line with the group average target multiple of 1.1x). We note that the decrease in our Risked NAV was due to lower production and a higher gas weighting, partially offset by the incorporation of new unbooked potential in the Rock Creek. We continue to believe that shares of Daylight represent excellent value at current levels. The company trades at a 2011E EV/DACF multiple of 7.8x and a P/Risked NAV of 78% (versus the group averages of 9.1x and 91%, respectively), while providing investors with a current cash yield of 5.9% (versus the group average of 5.1%).

Price Target Calculation We calculate our 12- to 18-month price target of $14.00 for Daylight based on a 1.1x target multiple to our Risked NAV estimate (less forecast dividends of $0.60/share) versus the group average at 1.1x. Key Risks To Price Target The primary risks to Daylight achieving our price target include a decline in commodity prices, higher-than-expected production decline rates, and rising industry costs. 6
