This forward-looking information is provided to allow readers to better understand our business and prospects and may not be suitable for other purposes. By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, including the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, taxation, royalties, stock market volatility, our ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, counterparties to transactions to satisfy their contractual obligations, third parties' ability and willingness to continue development of lands in which Freehold has an interest as expected, and risks inherent in the oil and gas industry. In addition, the paying of dividends is subject to the discretion of the board of directors of Freehold and is subject to a number of factors. As such future dividends are unlikely to reflect the past dividends paid on the common shares. Risks are described in more detail in Freehold's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2018 which is available under Freehold's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. You are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, 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 information. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which such forward-looking statements are based will occur. In addition to other factors and assumptions that may be identified in this presentation, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the impact of increased competition, the general stability of the economic and political environment in which we have an interest in oil and natural gas properties, the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals, policies with respect to acquisitions and payments of dividends, the ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner, drilling results, the ability of the operator of the projects we have an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner, the continued development of the lands in which we have a royalty interest, that third parties such as royalty payors, operators of the lands in which we have a working interest and other contractual counterparties will satisfy their obligations as required, our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, field production rates and decline rates, the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development and exploration, the performance and characteristics of the oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest, the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of the operator of the properties in. You are further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates may change, having either a positive or negative effect on net income, as further information becomes available and as the economic environment changes. 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.

  33. Advisories cont. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, references are made to terms commonly used as key performance indicators in the oil and natural gas industry. We believe that operating income, operating margin, free cash flow, free cash flow yield, cash costs, cash netback and payout ratio are useful supplemental measures for management and investors to analyze operating performance, financial leverage, and liquidity, and we use these terms to facilitate the understanding and comparability of our results of operations and financial position. However, these terms do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore may not be comparable with the calculations of similar measures for other entities. Operating income, which is calculated as gross revenue less royalties and operating expenses, shows the profitability of our revenue streams as it provides the cash margin for product sold after directly related expenses. Operating margin represents operating income as a percentage of our gross revenue and once again shows the profitability of our revenue streams. Free cash flow is a measure used by dividend paying companies to provide an estimate of how much cash might be available for the payment of dividends. Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital spending from funds from operations. In periods where Freehold has no capital expenditures, free cash flow is interchangeable with funds from operations. Cash costs is a total of all recurring costs in the statement of income (loss) deducted in determining funds from operations. For Freehold cash costs are identified as royalty expense, operating expense, general and administrative expense, interest expense and share based compensation payments. Cash costs are key to funds from operations, representing the ability to sustain dividends and/or repay debt. Payout ratios are often used for dividend paying companies in the oil and gas industry to identify its dividend levels in relation to the funds it receives and uses in its capital and operational activities. Payout ratio is calculated as dividends declared as a percentage of funds from operations. In addition, this presentation refers to various per boe figures, such as revenues and costs, which provide meaningful information on Freehold's operational performance. Per boe figures are derived by dividing the relevant revenue or cost figure by the total volume of oil and natural gas production during the period, with natural gas converted to equivalent barrels of oil as described below. See Freehold's most recent management's discussion and analysis, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, for more details on Freehold's use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Barrels of Oil Equivalent (boe) ratio: 6 Mcf = 1 barrel. 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 and is not based on either energy content or current prices. While the boe ratio is useful for comparative measures, it does not accurately reflect individual product values and might be misleading, particularly if used insolation. As well, given 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. Terminology. Throughout this presentation various abbreviations are used to represent different periods of activity. Any references to “year-to-date” and “YTD” refer to the period from January 1 to June 30 of the stated year. “Q2” refers to the period from April 1 to June 30. “H1” refers to the period from January 1 to June 30. “H2” refers to the period from July 1 to December 31. “E” refers to an estimated or expected amount or value for the stated year or at the stated year’s end (see Forward-Looking Information). “A” refers to actual reported amounts or values for the stated period.
