Cautionary Statements

This press release includes certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, “FLI”), including statements with respect to Mitra’s business, financial condition, projected cash flow and results of operations, including the proposed acquisitions set forth herein and in prior press releases. FLI, which contain the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “target”, “aim”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “can have”, “likely”, “should”, “would”, “could” and words of similar meaning, reflect the beliefs and expectations of the directors and officers of Mitra and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. No representation is made that any of these statements, projections or forecasts will come to pass or that any forecast or projected results will be achieved.

Readers should not place undue reliance on FLI which by its nature is based on current expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. FLI is not based on historical facts but rather on current expectations and assumptions regarding, among other things, the closing of the proposed acquisitions of the Stag oilfield assets and the 30% working interest in Block 05-01 offshore Vietnam, the completion of the subscription receipt financing and the availability of additional capital as may be required to develop Mitra’s assets (including the assets that are proposed to be acquired as described herein), the timing and scope of certain of Mitra’s operations, plans for and results of drilling activity and testing programs, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), continued political stability, and timely receipt of any necessary government or regulatory approvals. Although the expectations and assumptions reflected in such FLI are believed to be reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. FLI involves significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company including, but not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in exploration and production; inherent uncertainties in interpreting geological data; changes in plans with respect to exploration or capital expenditures; interruptions in operations together with any associated insurance proceedings; reductions in production capacity; the uncertainty of estimates and projections in relation to costs, expenses and health, safety and environmental risks); the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations; the uncertainty associated with negotiating with foreign governments; risk associated with international activity, including the risk of political instability; the risk of adverse economic market conditions; the actual results of marketing activities and the risk of regulatory changes. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

FLI cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance and the past performance of Mitra cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. FLI speaks only as at the date of this press release and Mitra expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release any update of, or revisions to, any FLI in this press release, other than as required by applicable securities laws. No statement in this press release is intended to be a profit forecast. In respect of the FLI concerning the anticipated benefits and the timing of the completion of the transactions contemplated herein, Mitra has provided such in reliance on certain assumptions that they believe are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the ability of the parties to receive, in a timely manner, the necessary regulatory, stock exchange and other third party approvals; the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the other conditions to the closing of the transactions contemplated herein; and expectations and assumptions concerning, among other things: commodity prices and interest and foreign exchange rates; applicable tax laws; sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities; and the availability and cost of labour and services. Any anticipated completion date may change for a number of reasons, including unforeseen delays in satisfying the other conditions to the completion of the transactions contemplated herein.
