Forward Looking Statements

In the interest of providing potential investors with information regarding Shona Energy Company, Inc. (“Shona"), including management's assessment of the future plans and operations of Shona, certainstatements contained in this corporate presentation constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "may", "will", "project", "could", "plan", "intend", "should", "believe", "outlook","potential" "target" and similar words suggesting future events or future performance In addition statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward looking statements as they involve the impliedpotential , target and similar words suggesting future events or future performance. In addition, statements relating to reserves are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the impliedassessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in the future. Forward looking statementsor information in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements or information with respect to: the expected closing date and use of proceeds from the financing; potential reserves and futureproduction with respect to current assets business strategy and objectives; development plans; exploration and drilling plans; reserve quantities and the discounted present value of future net cash flows fromsuch reserves; future production levels; wells drilled (gross and net); capital expenditures; cash flow; debt levels; operating and other costs; royalty rates and taxes.

With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, Shona has made assumptions regarding, among other things: future capital expenditure levels; future oil and natural gasprices; future oil and natural gas production levels; future exchange rates and interest rates; ability to obtain equipment in a timely manner to carry out development activities; ability to market oil and naturalgas successfully to current and new customers; the impact of increasing competition; the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; and ability to add production and reserves through development and

Although Shona believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements contained in this corporate presentation, and the assumptions on which such forward-lookingstatements are made, are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements included inthis corporate presentation, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. By their nature, forward-lookingstatements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements willnot occur, which may cause Shona's actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied bysuch forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the ability of management to execute its business plan; general economic and business conditions; the risk ofinstability affecting the jurisdictions in which Shona operates; the risks of the oil and natural gas industry, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas andmarket demand; the possibility that government policies or laws may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld; risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and natural gas deposits;the uncertainty of reserves estimates and reserves life; the ability of Shona to add production and reserves through acquisition, development and exploration activities; Shona's ability to enter into or renewleases; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production (including declineleases; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production (including declinerates), costs and expenses; fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; risks inherent in Shona's marketing operations, including credit risk; uncertainty inamounts and timing of royalty payments; health, safety and environmental risks; risks associated with existing and potential future law suits and regulatory actions against Shona; uncertainties as to theavailability and cost of financing; and financial risks affecting the value of Shona’s investments. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible risks and uncertainties.

Forward Looking Statements

For the purposes of the following, “Misrepresentation” means an untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated, or that is necessary to make astatement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. If this presentation contains a Misrepresentation, a purchaser in Ontario who purchases securities of Shona has, without regardto whether the purchaser relied on the Misrepresentation, a statutory right of action for rescission or, alternatively, for damages against Shona, provided that no action shall be commenced to enforce a rightof action more than (a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action forrescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause ofactionaction.

Shona will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the Misrepresentation. In an action for damages, Shona will not be liable for all or any portion of thosedamages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the Misrepresentation. In no case will the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities weresold to the purchaser. Investors should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective provinces or territories for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.Forecast capital expenditures are based on Shona’s current budgets and development plans which are subject to change based on commodity prices, market conditions, drilling success, potential timingdelays and access to cash, cash flow, available credit and third party participation. Shona’s capital budget has been prepared based upon anticipated costs for equipment and services which are subject tofluctuation based upon market conditions, availability and potential changes or delays in capital expenditures.

Additionally, forecast capital expenditures do not include capital required to pursue future acquisitions. Anticipated production growth has been estimated based on (i) the proposed drilling program with asuccess rate based upon historical drilling success and an evaluation of the particular wells to be drilled and has been risked, and (ii) current production and anticipated decline rates. Although the forward-looking information contained herein is based upon assumptions which Management believes to be reasonable, Shona cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with this forward-lookinginformation.

“Best Estimate” is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the bestestimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 Percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.“High Estimate” is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. Ifprobabilistic methods are used there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimateprobabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.“Low Estimate” is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilisticmethods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.“Mean Estimate” is the statistical mean resource value for each exploration prospect. The statistical mean is dependent on the estimated probabilistic distribution of recoverable resources and is not thesame as the “best estimate” or P50 resource volume. These values can be arithmetically summed to obtain a total mean estimate for a group of prospects.“Management Estimates” means the evaluation conducted by qualified reserves evaluators of the Shona technical team, effective 01 January 2012.“Prospective Resources” are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects.Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated withrecoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development and may be subclassified based on project maturity. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the Prospective Resources set out in thispresentation are unrisked, meaning that they are not risked for chance of development or chance of discovery.Estimates of unrisked Prospective Resources are pursuant to Management Estimates. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it willbe commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. If a discovery is made, there is no certainty that it will be developed or, if it is developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of suchdevelopment.

Barrels of Oil EquivalentBarrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 6 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used inisolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl (barrel) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at thewellheadwellhead.Analogous InformationCertain noted drilling and completion data provided in this document may constitute "analogous information", such as mapping information obtained in geographical proximity to prospective exploratory landsto be held by Shona. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Management of Shona believes the information is relevant as it helpsto define the reservoir characteristics in which Shona may hold an interest. Shona is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor or inaccordance with the COGE Handbook and therefore, the reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by Shona may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands to be held by Shona.
