The use of any of the words "expect", "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "objective", "ongoing", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe", "plans", "intends", "strategy" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information or statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include our expectations with respect to PrairieSky's business and growth strategy and the payment of future dividends.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this press release, we have made several assumptions including those described in detail in our MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2014. See "Availability on SEDAR" above. Readers and investors are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such forward looking information and statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance, or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. We can give no assurance that any of the events anticipated will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits we will derive from them.

In addition, PrairieSky is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties in relation to Encana, which owns a majority of PrairieSky's common shares. These risks and uncertainties include risks relating to Encana's shareholdings, the provision of certain transitional services by Encana, the potential for conflicts of interest and disputes to arise with Encana, limited ability to recover indemnification from Encana under the PSA and certain other agreements, and future changes in the relationship with Encana. The foregoing and other risks are described in more detail in PrairieSky's final prospectus dated May 22, 2014 under "Risk Factors" and in its MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2014 under the heading "Risk Management", each of which is available at www.sedar.com.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for PrairieSky to predict all of these factors or to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on PrairieSky's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statements.
The forward-looking information contained in this document is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
Conversions of Natural Gas to BOE
To provide a single unit of production for analytical purposes, natural gas production and reserves volumes are converted mathematically to equivalent barrels of oil (BOE). We use the industry-accepted standard conversion of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil (6 Mcf = 1 bbl). The 6:1 BOE ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip. It does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the BOE ratio is useful for comparative measures and observing trends, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. As well, given that the value ratio, based on the current price of crude oil to natural gas, is significantly different from the 6:1 energy equivalency ratio, using a 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication of value.
