Finding, development and acquisition ("FD&A") costs on a total company basis were indeterminate in 2012, as the Company's proceeds from selling assets exceeded its field capital program expenditures. The Company believes that finding and development costs should include acquisition and disposition costs as these functions are not segregated operationally in the Company, and it is a useful and commonly used reference for shareholders and analysts. In the Cardium play, full-cycle, three year average FD&A costs including future development capital were $36.77 per BOE on a TP basis and $25.81 per BOE on a P&P basis. This compares to 2012 one year FD&A costs of $1.15 per BOE on a TP basis and $3.12 per BOE on a P&P basis and 2011 one year FD&A costs of $39.16 per BOE on a TP basis and $26.68 per BOE on a P&P basis. Using three-year production weighted average Cardium operating netbacks, this yields a recycle ratio of 2.03 before hedging gains, on a P&P basis. The aggregate of the exploration, development and acquisition costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during the year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total FD&A costs related to reserve additions for that year.

The Company's reserve life indices are 7.0 years TP and 12.0 years P&P based on an annualized mid-point estimate of the first quarter production for 2013.

Anderson's P&P pre-tax NPV 10 at December 31, 2012 was $224.8 million, 37% lower than at December 31, 2011 as a result of the property sales in the year and lower price forecasts used by GLJ. At December 31, 2012, GLJ's natural gas price and Edmonton crude oil price forecasts for the years 2013 to 2021 were an average of $0.91 per MMBtu and $7.63 per bbl lower respectively than they were last year.

In 2012, the Company experienced negative technical revisions of 0.5 MMBOE TP and 1.0 MMBOE P&P as well as negative economic factor revisions of 1.8 MMBOE TP and 4.1 MMBOE P&P. These negative economic factors were related to the reduction of undeveloped natural gas reserves in the Edmonton Sands formation.
