• Forward Looking Statements
• This document contains statements that constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation as to NAL
Energy Corporation’s (“NAL’s”) internal projections, expectations and beliefs relating to future events or future performance. This forward-looking
information includes, among others, statements regarding: NAL’s strategic focus, business strategy and plans and budgets; business plans for drilling,
exploration and development, including drilling locations; estimates of production and operations performance; forecasted commodity price estimates
of future sales; estimated amounts, allocation and timing of capital expenditures; estimates of operating costs and unit operating costs; the estimated
timing and results of new development programs; estimates of anticipated funds from operations, cash flow, netbacks, dividends, working capital and
debt levels; estimated rates of return; the anticipated results of NAL’s divestiture program; various tax matters related to NAL; NAL’s hedging program;
NAL’s prospect inventory; and other expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, information and statements about possible future
events, conditions, results of operations or performance.
• Various assumptions were used in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts and projections contained in the forward-looking information
contained in this presentation including, without limitation, with respect to commodity prices, interest rates, exchange rates, royalty rates, general
and administrative expenses, the success of NAL's drilling programs and the production profile of NAL's oil and natural gas reserves. Forward-looking
information is based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks, which could cause actual results to vary and in
some instances to differ materially from those anticipated by NAL and described in the forward-looking information contained in this document. Undue
reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information. The material risk factors include, but are not limited to: the risks of the oil and gas
industry, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing oil and natural gas, market demand and unpredictable facilities outages;
risks and uncertainties involving the geology of oil and gas deposits; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and
expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; risk that adequate pipeline
capacity to transport oil and natural gas to market may not be available; fluctuations in oil and gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates; the outcome and effects of any future acquisitions and dispositions; safety and environmental risks; uncertainties as to the availability and cost
of financing and changes in capital markets; competitive actions of other industry participants; changes in general economic and business conditions;
the possibility that government policies or laws may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld; changes in tax laws; changes in
royalty rates; the results of NAL’s risk mitigation strategies, including insurance; and NAL’s ability to implement its business strategy. Readers are
cautioned that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect NAL’s operations
or financial results are included in NAL’s most recent Annual Information Form and Annual Financial Report. In addition, information is available in
NAL’s other filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
• Forward-looking information is based on the estimates and opinions of NAL’s management at the time the information is released.
• Boe Conversion
• Throughout this press release, the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is based on the widely recognized conversion rate of six thousand cubic
feet (mcf) of natural gas for one barrel (bbl) of oil. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf:1 bbl is
based on an energy equivalence conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalence at the wellhead.
• All dollar amounts in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

NAL Liquids Volumes
2012 Corporate Plan
8
1. Grow cash flow and liquids volumes
• Targeting cash flow increase of 3%
• Forecast oil volumes increasing 5%
• Liquids mix increasing from 47% to 50%
2. Capital focused on high ROR and recycle ratio projects
• Oil focused capital projects
• Higher liquids yields on selected gas projects
• Less focused on delivering gas volumes (6:1 Boe)
2012 Corporate Plan
9
3. Higher proportion of development capital
• Represents 95% of 2012 program – up 11%
• Lower risk improves volume certainty
4. Continued appraisal activity in new oil resource plays
5. Maintain financial flexibility
2012 Full Year Guidance
