In calculating finding and development costs, NI 51-    101 requires that the exploration and development costs incurred in the    year and the change in estimated future development costs be aggregated    and then divided by the applicable reserve additions. The calculation    specifically excludes the effects of acquisitions on both reserves and    costs. We believe that by excluding the effects of acquisitions, the    provisions of NI 51-101 do not fully reflect Freehold's ongoing reserve    replacement costs. Because acquisitions can have a significant impact on    annual reserve replacement costs, excluding these amounts could result    in an inaccurate portrayal of Freehold's cost structure. Accordingly, we    also provide costs that incorporate all acquisitions during the year.    The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the    most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated    future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and    development costs related to reserves additions for that year.Recycle Statistics, Net Proved Plus Probable Reserves                                                                  Three-Year($ per boe, except as noted)        2012        2011        2010     Results----------------------------------------------------------------------------Operating netback (1) (4)          45.09       51.65       44.08       46.81Finding, development and acquisition costs (2) (4)         18.80       29.47       24.63       21.86Recycle ratio (times) (3)            2.4         1.8         1.8         2.1--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1) Total revenue, less operating costs and royalty expenses.(2) Development expenditures, plus change in future capital, plus    acquisition costs; divided by net reserves added through development and    acquisition activities.(3) Operating netback divided by the average cost of acquiring and    developing new reserves.(4) Operating netback is based on gross production, while development and    acquisition costs are based on net reserves.Land HoldingsAs of December 31, 2012(gross acres) (1)                    Developed    Undeveloped          Total----------------------------------------------------------------------------Mineral title lands (2)                367,071        168,364        535,435Royalty assumption lands (3)            73,940         20,882         94,822----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total title lands (4)                  441,011        189,246        630,257Gross overriding royalty (GORR) lands (5)                           1,571,533        603,548      2,175,081----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total royalty lands                  2,012,544        792,794      2,805,338Working interest properties            147,781         40,253        188,034----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total land holdings                  2,160,325        833,047      2,993,372--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Land Holdings by Province
