With respect to forward-looking information contained in this presentation, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas and bitumen blend; geological and engineering estimates in
respect of the Companys reserves and resources; the geography of the areas in which the Company is conducting exploration and development activities; the applicability of technologies for the recovery and production of the Companys
reserves and resources; the quality of the quality of the Companys Thermal Oil and Light Oil assets; the Companys ability to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost efficient manner; the regulatory framework governing
royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company conducts and will conduct its business; the value of the Companys tax pools; the Companys Light Oil well type curves; the impact that the timing of the
Companys receipt of payments made by Phoenix under the Promissory Notes will have on the Company, including the Companys financial condition, capital programs and results of operations; future capital expenditures to be made by the
Company; the future sources of funding for the Companys substantial capital programs; the Companys future debt levels; and the Companys ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of the risk factors set forth in the Companys most recent annual information form dated March 18, 2014 (AIF), which is available on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com, including, but not limited to: the substantial capital requirements of Athabascas projects and the ability to obtain financing for Athabascas capital requirements; failure by counterparties to make payments or
perform their obligations to Athabasca in compliance with the terms of contractual arrangements (including under the Promissory Notes) between Athabasca and such counterparties, including in compliance with the time schedules set out
in such contractual arrangements, and the possible consequences thereof; risks affecting the ability of HSBC Canada to honour obligations under the irrevocable letters of credit issued to secure the Promissory Notes; aboriginal claims;
fluctuations in market prices for crude oil, natural gas and bitumen blend; general economic, market and business conditions in Canada, the United States and globally; failure to obtain regulatory approvals or maintain compliance with
regulatory requirements; failure to meet development schedules and potential cost overruns; variations in foreign exchange and interest rates; factors affecting potential profitability; risks related to future acquisition and joint venture
activities; reliance on, competition for, loss of, and failure to attract key personnel; global financial uncertainty; uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and resources; changes to Athabascas status given the current stage
of development; uncertainties inherent in SAGD and other bitumen recovery processes; expiration of leases and permits; risks inherent in Athabascas operations, including those related to exploration, development and production of
petroleum, natural gas and oil sands reserves and resources; risks related to gathering and processing facilities and pipeline systems; availability of drilling and related equipment and limitations on access to Athabascas assets; increases
in operating costs could make Athabascas projects uneconomic; the effect of diluent and natural gas supply constraints and increases in the costs thereof; gas over bitumen issues affecting operational results; environmental risks and
hazards and the cost of compliance with environmental regulations, including GHG regulations and potential Canadian and U.S. climate change legislation; extent of, and cost of compliance with, government laws and regulations and the
effect of changes in such laws and regulations from time to time; risks related to Athabascas filings with taxation authorities, including the risk of tax related reviews and reassessments; changes to royalty regimes; political risks; failure to
accurately estimate abandonment and reclamation costs; exploration, development and production risks inherent in crude oil and natural gas operations, including the production of crude oil and natural gas using multi-stage fracture and
other stimulation technologies; the potential for management estimates and assumptions to be inaccurate; long term reliance on third parties; reliance on third party infrastructure; seasonality; hedging risks; risks associated with establishing
and maintaining systems of internal controls; insurance risks; claims made in respect of Athabascas operations, properties or assets; competition for, among other things, capital, the acquisition of reserves and resources, export pipeline
capacity and skilled personnel; the failure of Athabasca or the holder of certain licenses, leases or permits to meet specific requirements of such licenses, leases or permits; risks related Athabascas credit facilities; alternatives to and
changing demand for petroleum; risks related to Athabascas common shares; and risks pertaining to Athabascas senior secured notes and term loans.
In addition, information and statements in this presentation relating to reserves, resources, hydrocarbons in-place and bitumen in place are deemed to be forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on
certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated, and that the reserves and resources described can be profitably produced in the future. The assumptions relating
to the Companys reserves and resources are contained in the reports of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. (GLJ) and DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited (D&M), each dated effective December 31, 2013. There is no certainty
that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. With respect to the estimates of undiscovered bitumen-in-place, there is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. The estimates of reserves
and future net revenue for individual properties in this Presentation may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. For important additional
information about the Companys reserves and resources, please refer to the AIF. For additional information regarding the specific contingencies which prevent the classification of the Companys Contingent Resources as reserves, please
see Independent Reserve and Resource Evaluations Contingent Resources Estimates in the AIF. Contingent Resources, Best Estimate, Proved Reserves and Probable Reserves have the meanings given to those terms in the
AIF.
The forward-looking statements included in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Athabasca does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required
by applicable securities laws.
