Forward-looking information In the interest of providing you with information regarding Canadian Oil Sands Limited (the Corporation ), including management s assessment of the Corporation s future plans and operations, certain statements and graphs throughout this presentation contain forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as anticipate, expect, believe, plan, intend or similar words suggesting future outcomes. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements and graphs (collectively statements ) with respect to: future dividends and any increase or decrease from current payment amounts; the expected sales volume in 2014; the expected operating expenses in 2014; the expected cash flow from operations and cash flow from operations per share in 2014; the expected realized selling price for the Corporation s product in 2014; the estimated value and amount of reserves recoverable and the time frame to recover such reserves; the estimated resources; the expected impact on cash flow from operations and cash flow from operations per share from increasing/decreasing crude oil prices; the expected impact on cash flow from operations from increasing Syncrude production; the expected foreign exchange rate in 2014; the expected West Texas Intermediate ( WTI ) price in 2014; the expected average discount for synthetic crude oil ( SCO ) to WTI in 2014; the expected amount of total major project costs, anticipated target in-service dates and estimated completion percentages for the Mildred Lake mine train replacements and the centrifuge plant at the Mildred Lake mine; the expectation that the major project spending will taper off in 2015; the expected major project spending in 2014-2015; the estimate that regular maintenance capital costs for the next few years will be similar to 2014; the expectation that the Corporation will finance the major projects primarily with existing cash balances and cash flow from operations; the belief that the Corporation is positioned to fund its 2014 capital program and support its dividend while maintaining net debt within the targeted range; all expectations regarding net debt; the anticipated amount of current taxes in 2014; the expected increase in free cash flow in 2015 assuming continued strength in world crude oil prices; plans regarding crude oil hedges in the future; the expected benefits of the management services agreement; the anticipated benefits in extraction and upgrading resulting from Syncrude s reliability initiatives; the belief that the reliability initiatives in place at Syncrude will lead to higher production levels; expectations regarding the Corporation s cash levels; Crown royalties payable; the anticipated scope and economics of the Mildred Lake mine extension ( MLX ) project; the expectation that the MLX project should allow the Mildred Lake mine and the Aurora North mine to operate into the 2030s and 2040s, respectively; the expectation that Syncrude will submit a regulatory application for the MLX project in 2014; the timing of construction and spending for the MLX project; the expectation that the MLX project should be the most economic new mining production to come on stream in the next ten years because it benefits from existing infrastructure and expectations regarding the timing of planned/announced market access pipelines, and all expectations regarding the SCO-WTI-Brent differentials. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur. Although the Corporation believes that the assumptions and expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable and reflect the current views of the Corporation with respect to future events, there can be no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. The factors or assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based include, but are not limited to: the assumptions outlined in the Corporation s guidance document as posted on the Corporation s website at www.cdnoilsands.com as of the date hereof and as subsequently amended or replaced from time to time, including without limitation, the assumptions as to production, operating expenses and oil prices; the successful and timely implementation of capital projects; Syncrude s major project spending plans; the ability to obtain regulatory and joint venture owner approval; our ability to either generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our current and future obligations or obtain external sources of debt and equity capital; the continuation of assumed tax, royalty and regulatory regimes and the accuracy of the estimates of our reserves and resources volumes. Some of the risks and other factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this AIF include, but are not limited to: volatility of crude oil prices; volatility of the SCO to WTI differential; the impact that pipeline capacity and apportionment and refinery demand have on prices for SCO; the impacts of regulatory changes especially those which relate to royalties, taxation, tailings, water and the environment; the impact of new technologies on the cost of oil sands mining; the impacts of rising costs associated with tailings and water management; the inability of Syncrude to obtain required consents, permits or approvals, including without limitation, the inability of Syncrude to obtain approval to release water from its operations; the impact of Syncrude being unable to meet the conditions of its approval for its tailings management plan under Directive 074; various events which could disrupt operations including fires, equipment failures and severe weather; unsuccessful or untimely implementation of capital or maintenance projects; the impact of technology on operations and processes and how new complex technology may not perform as expected; the obtaining of required owner approvals from the Syncrude Participants for expansions, operational issues and contractual issues; labour turnover and shortages and the productivity achieved from labour in the Fort McMurray area; uncertainty of estimates with respect to reserves and resources; the supply and demand metrics for oil and natural gas; the variances of stock market activities generally; currency and interest rate fluctuations; volatility of natural gas prices; Canadian Oil Sands ability to either generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our current and future obligations or obtain external sources of debt and equity capital; the inability of the Corporation to continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSX; general economic, business and market conditions and such other risks and uncertainties described in the Corporation s Annual Information Form dated February 20, 2014 and in the reports and filings made with securities regulatory authorities from time to time by the Corporation which are available on the Corporation s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Corporation s website at www.cdnoilsands.com.
