Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three months and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“the MD&A”) is dated March 3, 2016 and should be read in conjunction with TORC Oil & Gas Ltd.’s (“TORC” or the “Company”) audited financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The reader should be aware that historical results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. The financial data presented below has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), unless otherwise indicated. Barrel of Oil Equivalent Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe using a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. This conversion ratio is based upon an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. Boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. Non-IFRS Measurements The MD&A contains the terms “funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs” , “funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs” , "net debt" and “operating netback” which are not defined by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to performance measures presented by others. Funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs represents cash flow from operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital and settlement of decommissioning obligations. Funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs represents cash flow from operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital, settlement of decommissioning obligations and transaction related costs. Working capital (net debt) is calculated as current assets (excluding financial derivative assets) less: i) current liabilities (excluding financial derivative liabilities), ii) bank debt, and iii) non- current deferred lease incentives. Operating netback represents revenue and realized gain or loss on financial derivatives, less royalties, operating expenses and transportation expenses and has been presented on a per Boe basis. Management believes that in addition to net income, the aforementioned non-IFRS measurements are useful supplemental measures as they assist in the determination of the Company’s operating performance, leverage and liquidity. Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to both net income and net cash from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of the Company’s performance. The reconciliation between funds flow from operations, as defined above, and net cash from operating activities, as defined by IFRS, is as follows: ($ thousands) Net cash from operating activities (defined by IFRS) Settlement of decommissioning obligations Changes in non-cash working capital Funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $37,224 132 (3,395) $33,961 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $72,191 225 (30,706) $41,710 Transaction related costs Funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs - $33,961 38 $41,748 The reconciliation of net debt, as defined above, is as follows: Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $137,562 205 (9,639) $128,128 4,855 $132,983 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $198,982 347 (10,752) $188,577 142 $188,719 Current assets (excluding financial derivative assets) Less: current liabilities (excluding financial derivative liabilities) Less: bank debt Less: non-current deferred lease incentives Net debt The reconciliation for operating netback is found within this MD&A.

Q4 2015 Page 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Forward-Looking Statements This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. More specifically, it contains forward-looking statements respecting: (i) expectations that operating and transportation expenses per Boe will continue to improve, (ii) the anticipated sources of funding for the Company's capital program, (iii) the sufficiency of liquidity and capital resources to fund the Company's capital program, ongoing operations, and execution of its business plan, and (iv) the Company's risk management activities and the benefits to be obtained therefrom. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by TORC, including expectations and assumptions concerning the impact of increasing competition, the general stability of the economic and political environment in which TORC operates, the ability of the Company to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner, drilling results, the ability of the operator of the projects which the Company has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner, TORC’s ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, changes in the Company’s banking facility, field production rates and decline rates, the ability to reduce operating and transportation costs, the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development or exploration, the timing and costs of pipeline, storage and facility construction and expansion, the ability of the Company to secure adequate product transportation, future petroleum and natural gas prices, currency, exchange and interest rates, the regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and TORC’s ability to successfully market its petroleum and natural gas products. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Although TORC believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because TORC can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks, including, without limitation, factors and risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development, exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets, volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, changes in royalty rates and other governmental regulations, competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other services, incorrect assessment of the value of acquisitions, the inability to fully realize the benefits of acquisitions, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources. Additional information on these and other factors and risks that could affect the Company’s operations and financial results are included in reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) or at the Company’s website (www.torcoil.com). Furthermore, the forward looking statements contained in this document are made as at the date of this document and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. Asset Transactions Southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba asset acquisitions On June 15, 2015, the Company closed an acquisition of various properties and working interests in and around its core southeast Saskatchewan area. The strategic acquisition included 4,750 boe/d (approximately 98% light oil and liquids) of low decline, high netback, light oil producing assets in southeast Saskatchewan and Manitoba (the "June Acquisition"). In addition, the June Acquisition included ownership of freehold mineral title on more than 80 net sections of land in southeast Saskatchewan. Net consideration paid was $428.5 million. On February 25, 2015, the Company closed an acquisition of various properties and working interests in its core southeast Saskatchewan area (the "February Acquisition"). Consideration paid was $146.7 million which included the issuance of 16,000,000 common shares valued at $9.17 per share based on TORC's trading price on February 25, 2015 (the closing date of the February Acquisition). During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid an additional cash consideration of $7.2 million to acquire various top-up working interests complementary to the February Acquisition properties. The acquisition of these assets increased and consolidated the Company’s exposure to light oil in southeast Saskatchewan where the Company continues to achieve drilling and operational success. Asset swap On March 31, 2015, the Company closed a swap of certain petroleum and natural gas properties in southeast Saskatchewan (the “Asset Swap”). In the Asset Swap, the Company swapped properties with a carrying value of $50.2 million and received properties with an equivalent fair value. TORC Oil & Gas Ltd.

In addition to the Company's ongoing drilling activities, the increase includes production from the June Acquisition (adding approximately 4,750 boe/d effective June 15, 2015), as well as the February Acquisition (adding approximately 1,550 boe/d effective February 25, 2015). Pricing Average realized prices: Crude oil ($ per Bbl) NGL ($ per Bbl) Crude oil and NGL ($ per Bbl) Natural gas ($ per Mcf) Boe ($ per Boe) Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $47.84 15.36 $46.94 2.21 $43.18 $73.31 40.99 $71.94 3.83 $64.41 $51.67 17.21 $50.48 2.52 $46.15 $89.25 53.06 $87.56 4.62 $78.16 During the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, TORC realized oil prices of $47.84 per Bbl and $51.67 per Bbl, respectively (Corresponding periods: $73.31 per Bbl and $89.25 per Bbl, respectively). During the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, TORC's crude oil discount to WTI converted to Canadian dollars approximated $8.47 per Bbl and $10.70 per Bbl, respectively (Corresponding Periods: $9.74 per Bbl and $13.41 per Bbl, respectively). In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, TORC's crude oil discount to Edmonton Par averaged approximately $5.02 per Bbl and $5.44 per Bbl, respectively (Corresponding Periods: $2.21 per Bbl and $5.19 per Bbl, respectively). The crude oil pricing differentials are a function of North American refinery supply/demand fundamentals as well as crude quality. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company realized gas prices of $2.21 per Mcf and $2.52 per Mcf, respectively (Corresponding Periods: $3.83 per Mcf and $4.62 per Mcf, respectively). In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's realized gas prices were 10% and 6% below AECO benchmarks, respectively (Corresponding Periods: 18% and 14% above AECO benchmarks, respectively). Similar to crude oil price differentials, gas price differentials are a function of North American supply/demand fundamentals, heat content of gas as well as pipeline capacity. In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the average realized price across all products was $43.18 per Boe and $46.15 per Boe, respectively. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the average realized price was lower by $21.23 per Boe and $32.01 per Boe, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods.

The increase in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are due to increased volumes, offset largely due to significant decreases in crude oil prices, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the previous year, is due to significant decreases in crude oil prices somewhat offset by increased volumes from drilling activity and asset acquisitions. Revenues from the sale of crude oil and NGL continue to be greater than 90% of all revenues. Royalties ($ thousands, unless otherwise noted) Royalties $ per Boe Percentage of revenue Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $13,242 $7.95 18% Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $12,338 $11.22 17% Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $47,818 $8.40 18% Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $53,539 $13.02 17% Compared to the Corresponding Periods, the Company's corporate royalty rate (as a percentage of revenue) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, increased approximately 1%, due to the integration of the Saskatchewan properties associated with the June Acquisition and the February Acquisition (described above). Royalty rates associated with properties in Saskatchewan includes the Saskatchewan Resource Tax. The increase in royalties is also due to Alberta Crown royalty incentives that have expired for certain wells. TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Operating and Transportation Expenses ($ thousands, unless otherwise noted) Operating expenses $ per Boe Transportation expenses $ per Boe Operating and transportation expenses $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $22,279 $13.37 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $14,408 $13.10 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $77,011 $13.54 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $52,953 $12.88 $3,111 $1.87 $25,390 $15.24 $2,222 $2.02 $16,630 $15.12 $11,118 $1.95 $88,129 $15.49 $10,009 $2.43 $62,962 $15.31 For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's operating expenses on a per Boe basis increased 2% and 5%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. This increase primarily reflects the relatively higher operating costs associated with certain properties acquired in Saskatchewan. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's transportation expenses on a per Boe basis decreased 7% and 20%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. This largely reflects the benefits associated with continued development of infrastructure, economies of scale associated with greater volumes, and lower transportation costs associated with certain Saskatchewan properties. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's combined operating and transportation expenses on a per Boe It is expected that in a lower commodity basis remained relatively the same, increasing 1%, compared to the Corresponding Periods. price environment, operating and transportation expenses per Boe will continue to improve as industry cost savings and the benefits of efficiency initiatives are realized.

Q4 2015 Page 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS General and Administrative Expenses During the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred the following general and administrative expenses ("G&A"): ($ thousands) Gross general and administrative expenses Recoveries (1) Capitalized general and administrative expenses (2) Total general and administrative $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $5,189 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $5,377 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $21,355 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $18,379 (1,334) (1,163) $2,692 $1.61 (748) (1,817) $2,812 $2.56 (3,893) (6,244) $11,218 $1.97 (2,218) (6,422) $9,739 $2.37 (1) (2) Recoveries refers to those G&A expenditures which under industry practice are reclassified to operating expenses, exploration and evaluation assets, or property, plant and equipment, dependent on their nature. Capitalized general and administrative expenses are those G&A expenditures which are directly attributable to the acquisition or exploration activities of the Company, and are therefore reclassified to exploration and evaluation assets, or property, plant and equipment, dependent on their nature. In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, total general and administrative expenses decreased 4% and increased 15%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. The increase in the year ended December 31, 2015 was due to additional employees (resulting in additional employee compensation costs) and other administrative costs largely associated with the Company's growing operations. On a per Boe basis, G&A decreased 37% and 17%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. This cost reduction reflects administrative efficiencies as production volumes associated with organic drilling activity and asset acquisitions are fully reflected. Transaction Related Costs ($ thousands, unless otherwise noted) Transaction related costs $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 - - Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $38 $0.03 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $4,855 $0.85 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $142 $0.03 Transaction related expenses are those costs related to acquisitions that cannot be capitalized as part of the cost of such transactions under IFRS. These costs generally include, but are not limited to, legal fees, advisory fees, regulatory and administrative integration expenses. The transaction related costs in the year ended December 31, 2015 are associated with the June Acquisition and February Acquisition (described above) and reflect less than 1% of the total acquisition costs of these acquisitions.

Q4 2015 Page 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Finance Costs ($ thousands) Interest expense and financing charges $ per Boe Accretion on decommissioning obligations $ per Boe Total $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $2,093 $1.26 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $1,660 $1.51 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $8,403 $1.48 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $6,211 $1.51 $1,115 $0.67 $3,208 $1.93 $751 $0.68 $2,411 $2.19 $3,829 $0.67 $12,232 $2.15 $2,819 $0.69 $9,030 $2.20 For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, interest expense and financing charges increased 26% and 35%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods, due to higher outstanding bank debt levels associated with asset acquisitions which closed in the fourth quarter of 2014, as well as ongoing business operations. On a per Boe basis, interest expense and financing charges for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, decreased 17% and 2%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the dollar values of accretion on decommissioning obligations increased 48% and 36%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods, largely due to the addition of properties acquired in Saskatchewan. On a per Boe basis, accretion on decommissioning obligations remained relatively the same. Under IFRS, non-cash accretion expenses related to decommissioning obligations are presented as part of finance costs. Average bank debt was as follows: ($ thousands) Bank debt Stock-Based Compensation Expenses Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $231,890 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $168,477 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $228,193 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $133,304 Stock-based compensation expenses reflect the value ascribed to the non-cash compensation provided by the Company, and are calculated utilizing a fair value assessment methodology. These amounts are net of stock-based compensation costs capitalized to exploration and evaluation assets, and property, plant and equipment when they are related to exploration or acquisition activities (in the same manner that G&A expenses are capitalized). ($ thousands) Stock-based compensation expenses Capitalized stock-based compensation expenses Total $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $3,175 (1,492) $1,683 $1.01 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $3,425 (1,777) $1,648 $1.50 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $16,758 (7,876) $8,882 $1.56 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $20,893 (10,446) $10,447 $2.54 On a dollar basis, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, stock-based compensation expenses decreased 7% and 20%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. While the decrease for the three months is not significant, the decrease for the year is largely due to lower stock-based compensation expenses associated with incentive shares and stock options, as these instruments vested with no subsequent reissuances as these instruments are no longer issued as part of the Company's ongoing compensation plans. On a per Boe basis, similar to the efficiencies realized in G&A expenses, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, stock- based compensation expenses decreased 33% and 39%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Depletion and Depreciation Expenses ($ thousands) Depletion and depreciation expenses $ per Boe Three months ended Dec 31, 2015 $42,117 $25.28 Three months ended Dec 31, 2014 $29,217 $26.56 Year ended Dec 31, 2015 $150,314 $26.42 Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $114,360 $27.82 For the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the depletion and depreciation expenses on a total dollar basis increased 44% and 31%, respectively, compared to the Corresponding Periods. This increase is largely due to depletable base additions, primarily from acquisitions (including the June Acquisition and February Acquisition), as well as ongoing drilling operations. On a per Boe basis, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, the depletion and depreciation expenses decreased 5% compared to the Corresponding Periods. Impairment Exploration and Evaluation Assets For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized impairment of $54.2 million on E&E assets related to certain southern Alberta projects with carrying values estimated to exceed the recoverable amounts. The Company determined there to be indicators of impairment regarding these E&E assets, based on the prolonged decline of crude oil prices, upcoming land expiries and near term reallocations of future capital spending. As a result, the Company impaired these E&E assets principally comprised of historic land acquisition costs. Property, Plant and Equipment For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized impairment of $114.0 million on PP&E assets (the “Impaired PP&E Assets”) with carrying values exceeding the recoverable amounts principally due to the decline in crude oil prices. The Company determined there to be indicators of impairment regarding these PP&E assets, based on the prolonged decline of crude oil prices, upcoming land expiries and near term reallocations of future capital spending. The impairment consisted of $62.0 million related to assets in the Cardium CGU, $45.0 million to assets in the Southern Alberta CGU and $7.0 million to the Southeast Saskatchewan CGU. The recoverable amount, determined using value in use, of a CGU is the greater of (i) its value in use, and (ii) its fair value less selling costs. The recoverable amounts for the Impaired PP&E Assets were $426.0 million in the Cardium CGU, $41.0 million in the Southern Alberta CGU and $1.1 billion in the Southeast Saskatchewan CGU, reflecting the 10-12% pre-tax present value of future cash flows from proved and probable reserves and values for undeveloped land. In determining the future cash flows, the Company utilized the following benchmark pricing forecasts from its independent reserves evaluator: Canadian Light Sweet Crude ($/Bbl) 55.20 69.00 78.43 89.41 91.71 93.08 94.48 95.90 97.34 98.80 100.28 Western Canada Select ($/Bbl) 45.26 57.96 65.88 75.11 77.03 78.19 79.36 80.55 81.76 82.99 84.23 Alberta AECO - C Spot ($/MMBtu) 2.25 2.95 3.42 3.91 4.20 4.28 4.35 4.43 4.51 4.59 4.67 Edmonton Pentanes Plus ($/Bbl) 59.10 73.88 83.98 95.73 98.19 99.66 101.16 102.68 104.22 105.78 107.37 Year 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Edmonton Butane ($/Bbl) 39.09 51.43 58.46 66.64 68.35 69.38 70.42 71.48 72.55 73.64 74.74 Edmonton Propane ($/Bbl) 9.09 13.64 25.84 35.35 42.30 42.94 43.58 44.24 44.90 45.57 46.26 Exchange Rate ($US/$CAD) 0.75 0.80 0.83 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 TORC Oil & Gas Ltd.

In the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 the deferred income tax recoveries were consistent with the Company's pre-tax losses. Net Loss Net loss for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 were $89.6 million and $172.7 million, respectively (Corresponding Periods: net loss of $30.4 million and net income of $6.3 million, respectively), largely due to the impairments of property, plant and equipment of $114.0 million and exploration and evaluation assets of $54.2 million, combined with significantly reduced crude oil prices. Basic net loss per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 were $0.56 and $1.27, respectively (Corresponding Periods: net loss per share of $0.32 and net income per share of $0.07, respectively). Diluted net loss per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 were $0.56 and $1.27, respectively (Corresponding Periods: net loss per share of $0.32 and net income per share of $0.07, respectively).

Comparatively, in the Corresponding Periods, the Company drilled 14 (8.5 net) wells and 47 (30.7 net) wells, respectively. Year over year, the Company drilled a similar number of net wells with 27% less exploration and development expenditures. Operational efficiency improvements and cost reductions were realized during the year resulting in significant capital expenditure savings. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company closed the June Acquisition and February Acquisition. The Company does not set a budget for acquisitions. When making acquisitions, the Company considers opportunities that align with strategic parameters and evaluates and finances each prospect on a case-by-case basis. TORC Oil & Gas Ltd.

In addition, TORC also closed a bought deal prospectus offering of 28.52 million common shares for gross proceeds of $288.0 million. The combined gross proceeds were $438.0 million. In the year ended December 31, 2015, 4,640 Warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $0.03 million. All remaining Warrants outstanding or exercisable expired on December 16, 2015. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. As at March 3, 2016, the Company had 162,461,553 common shares issued and outstanding, 1,531,555 stock options outstanding, 2,249 incentive shares outstanding, 2,189,130 performance awards outstanding and 1,280,901 restricted awards outstanding. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's net debt, as defined above in Non-IFRS Measurements , is as follows: Current assets (excluding financial derivative assets) Less: current liabilities (excluding financial derivative liabilities) Less: bank debt Less: non-current deferred lease incentives Net debt As at Dec 31, 2015 $32,552 (99,545) (230,087) - ($297,080) As at Dec 31, 2014 $24,754 (89,459) (179,849) (104) ($244,658) Despite the Company's net debt position, it believes that cash flow from operations, combined with undrawn credit facility and its ability to access additional funding from capital markets, will provide sufficient resources for it to execute its business plans for the foreseeable future. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Company may access the following capital resources: Credit facility At December 31, 2015, the Company had a reserves-based revolving credit facility of $450 million with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Facility"), comprised of a $55 million operating facility from the operating lender (the "Operating Facility") and a $395 million syndicated facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Syndicated Facility"). As at December 31, 2015 the amount drawn from the Credit Facility was $230.1 million. Advances under the Credit Facility are available by way of direct advances, bankers' acceptances and standby letters of credit/guarantees. Direct advances bear interest at the prime rate, U.S. base rate or Libor rate, as applicable, plus a margin which is dependent on the Company's debt to trailing funds flow ratio. The bankers' acceptances bear interest at the applicable bankers' acceptance rate plus a stamping fee, based on the Company's debt to trailing funds flow ratio. Both the Syndicated Facility and the Operating Facility are available on a revolving basis until April 28, 2016. On or before April 28, 2016, at TORC's request and subject to the approval of the lending syndicate, the Credit Facility may be extended for an additional 364 day period. In the event of non-extension, the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility will be cancelled and the amount outstanding will convert to a 364 day non-revolving term facility with repayment of the Credit Facility due on April 28, 2017. The Credit Facility is secured by a fixed and floating charge debenture on all of the Company's assets. The borrowing base is primarily based on reserves and commodity prices estimated by the lenders. The borrowing base of the Company's Credit Facility is subject to review and redetermination by the lenders on a semi-annual basis and in the event of a change in the Company's borrowing base properties (including due to a disposition of assets beyond certain defined limits or a change which results in a material adverse effect, as determined by the lenders). In the normal course, the Company's next credit facility evaluation is due to be completed by April 28, 2016. Significant investor The Company has a significant investor, CPPIB. For so long as CPPIB owns greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, it has the right to participate in future offerings of securities by the Company, whether by way of public offering or private placement. This includes any offering of common shares and securities convertible or exchangeable into common shares, up to its pro rata ownership interest immediately prior to such offering in the case of a public offering or a private placement to five or more investors, in order to maintain its pro rata percentage ownership interest in the Company, and up to all of the offering in the case of a private placement to less than five investors. Risk Management - Financial Derivatives From time to time, the Company may enter into commodity price, interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivative contracts (also known as hedges) in order to protect acquisition economics and provide some stability of cash flows for capital spending planning purposes. Commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates fluctuate due to economic and political events. As well, commodity prices may fluctuate due to weather conditions and changes in supply and demand. The Company’s risk management activities are conducted pursuant to the Company’s risk management policies approved by the Board of Directors. As at December 31, 2015, there were no commodity contracts outstanding. TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Contractual Obligations The following table lists the Company's contractual obligations as at December 31, 2015 and the expected timing of these obligations: ($ thousands) Trade and other payables Dividends payable Operating leases (office rent) Bank debt Total Operating commitments Total $92,186 7,256 8,260 230,087 $337,789 Less than 1 year $92,186 7,256 1,316 - $100,758 1-2 years - - 1,878 230,087 $231,965 3-5 years - - 5,066 - $5,066 Thereafter - - - - - The Company is, or will be, obligated to pay various costs associated with operations incurred in the normal course of business. These costs include royalties paid to provincial governments, surface and mineral lease rentals and royalties on mineral rights to various landowners, abandonment and reclamation costs, farm-in commitments and office leases. These costs are highly dependent on the future operating environment and are subject to changes in commodity prices, ownership, production volumes and government policies. Working capital The Company manages the pace of its capital spending related to drilling operations by continuously monitoring production, commodity prices and resulting cash flows. When circumstances affect cash flow in a detrimental way, the Company is capable of reducing its capital spending levels. The industry has a pre-arranged monthly clearing day for payment of revenues from all buyers of crude oil, NGL and natural gas. This occurs on the 25th day following the month of sale. As a result, the Company’s production revenues are collected in an orderly fashion. To the extent that the Company has joint venture partners in its activities it collects the partners’ share of capital and operating expenses on a monthly basis. These are subject to normal collection risk. Accounts payable consist of amounts payable to suppliers relating to capital spending, field operating activities and office expenses. These invoices are processed within the Company’s normal payment cycle. Dividend Subsequent to December 31, 2015, as a result of continued volatility and uncertainty in commodity prices, the Company reduced its monthly dividend from $0.045 per common share to $0.02 per common share, commencing with the dividend to be paid on March 15, 2016 to common shareholders. Business Conditions and Risks The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas assets. TORC’s business is inherently risky and there is no assurance that hydrocarbon reserves will be discovered and economically produced. Financial risks associated with the petroleum industry include fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and the ability to access debt and equity financing at reasonable cost. Operational risks include competition, environmental factors, reservoir performance uncertainties, a complex regulatory environment and safety concerns. TORC uses its technical, technological and industry knowledge to evaluate potential hydrocarbon plays in order to pay what it believes are economically sound prices that benefit shareholders. The Company's focus is on areas in which the prospects are understood by management. The Company minimizes its business risks by operating a large number of its properties. This enables TORC to control the timing, direction and costs related to exploration and development opportunities. TORC’s geological focus is on areas in which the prospects are understood by management. Technological tools are regularly used to reduce risk and increase the probability of success. The Company complies with all government regulations and has an up-to-date emergency response plan that has been communicated to field operations by management. The Company also carries insurance coverage to protect itself against potential losses. Maintaining a highly motivated and talented staff of petroleum and natural gas professionals further minimizes the business risk. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS TORC relies on appropriate sources of funding to support the various stages of its business strategy: ● ● ● Internally-generated cash flow from production is used to fund business activities; New equity, if available on favourable terms, may be utilized to fund acquisitions and to expand capital programs, when appropriate; and Debt may be utilized to fund acquisitions and to expand capital programs. The Company is exposed to commodity price and market risk for its principal products of crude oil and natural gas. Commodity prices are influenced by a wide variety of factors, most of which are beyond TORC’s control. To manage this risk, from time to time, the Company may enter into a number of financial derivative contracts for hedging purposes. These derivative contracts may include contracts related to crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as foreign exchange and interest rates. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into fixed physical contracts. The Company monitors the cost and associated benefit of these instruments and contracts as well as any debt levels and utilization rates on bank lines, and utilizes these derivatives and contracts when warranted. Inflation risks subject the Company to potential erosion of product netbacks. For example, increasing domestic prices for oil and natural gas production equipment and services can inflate the costs of operations. In addition, increasing costs of undeveloped land can inflate costs of both asset and corporate acquisitions. The supply of service and production equipment at competitive prices is critical to the ability to add reserves at a reasonable cost and In periods of increased activity, these services and supplies can become difficult to produce them in an economic and timely fashion. obtain. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by developing strong long-term relationships with suppliers and contractors and maintaining an appropriate inventory of production equipment. Demand for crude oil, NGL and natural gas produced by the Company exists within Canada and the United States; however, crude oil prices are affected by worldwide supply and demand fundamentals while natural gas prices are currently primarily affected by North American supply and demand fundamentals. Demand for natural gas liquids is influenced mainly by the demand for petrochemicals in North American and off-shore markets. TORC mitigates these risks as follows: ● ● ● ● TORC attempts to explore for and produce crude oil that is of high quality, mitigating its exposure to adverse quality differentials; Natural gas production will generally be connected to established pipeline infrastructures that operate with minimal interruptions; Sale arrangements will vary in term and pricing structure creating a diverse portfolio that minimizes risk of exposure to any one market; and Financial derivative contracts may be used where appropriate to manage commodity price volatility. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements TORC is not involved with any contractual arrangement under which a non-consolidated entity may have an obligation under certain guarantee contracts, a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to a non-consolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets. TORC has no obligation under financial instruments or a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Reserves The estimation of reserves is critical to various accounting estimates. It requires judgments based on available geophysical, geological, engineering and economic data. These estimates can change materially as information from ongoing exploratory, development and production activities becomes available. These estimates can also change as economic conditions impacting crude oil and natural gas prices, royalties and operating costs change. Reserve estimates can change net income through depletion expense, accretion expense from decommissioning obligations and the application of impairment tests. Revisions or changes in reserve estimates can have either a positive or a negative impact on net income. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Q4 2015 Page 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Decommissioning obligations The calculation of decommissioning obligations is based on estimated costs to abandon and reclaim its net ownership in all wells and facilities, the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred and economic inflation and discount rates. These estimates can change due to technological advances, governmental and regulatory laws and regulations or economic conditions and can impact the amount of the decommissioning obligations and net income. Stock-based compensation The Company’s estimate of stock-based compensation is dependent upon estimates of historic volatility, assessment of achieving performance conditions. These estimates can impact net income and contributed surplus. forfeiture rates and an Financial derivatives By their very nature, the estimated fair value of financial derivative contracts resulting in financial derivative contract assets and liabilities are subject to measurement uncertainty. Deferred income taxes The calculation of deferred income taxes includes estimates of reversal of temporary differences, tax rates substantively enacted and likelihood of assets being realized. These estimates can impact net income and deferred tax liabilities. Environmental Regulation and Risk The oil and gas industry has various environmental risks subject to regulation by various governmental bodies. Environmental legislation includes, but is not limited to, operational controls, site restoration and abandonment requirements and restrictions on emissions of various substances related to the production of oil and natural gas. Compliance with this legislation may require additional costs and a failure to comply may result in fines and penalties. TORC is committed to minimizing the environmental stakeholder communication, resource conservation and site restoration. impact from its operations through an environmental program which includes Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR") and disclosure controls and procedures ("DCP") of the Company. In accordance with National Instrument NI 52-109, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have filed certifications that DCP and ICFR have been adequately designed and are operating effectively, and that there have been no changes in ICFR that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR.

Therefore, the diluted per share amounts in these periods are equivalent to the basic per share amounts. "Funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs" and "funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs" should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, "net cash from (used in) operating activities" as determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as an indicator of TORC’s performance. "Funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs" represents net cash from (used in) operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital and settlement of decommissioning obligations. "Funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs" represents net cash from (used in) operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital, settlement of decommissioning obligations and transaction related costs. TORC also presents "funds flow from operations, including transaction related costs" and "funds flow from operations, excluding transaction related costs" on a per share basis, whereby per share amounts are calculated using weighted average shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of earnings per share. Net cash from operating activities is determined in accordance with IFRS and includes changes in non-cash working capital. Net debt is calculated as current assets (excluding financial derivative assets) less: i) current liabilities (excluding financial derivative liabilities), ii) bank debt, and iii) non- current deferred lease incentives. In November 2012, the Company acquired Vero Energy Inc. and completed an equity financing.

Company acquired various properties and working interests in its core Cardium and southeast Saskatchewan areas. In the fourth quarters of 2012, 2013, and 2014, the Company recorded impairment charges of $13.3 million, $38.4 million, and $72.6 million, respectively, related to its exploration and evaluation assets, contributing to a net loss for these periods. In February 2015, the Company issued 16 million common shares to acquire In June 2015, the Company acquired additional assets in southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba for assets in southeast Saskatchewan. net consideration of $428.5 million; concurrently, the Company issued 43.4 million common shares for gross proceeds of $438.0 million. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of $16.0 million and $43.0 million related to its E&E and PP&E assets, respectively, contributing to a net loss in this period. Similarly, in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of $38.2 million and $71.0 million related to its E&E and PP&E assets, respectively. These events, along with organic drilling growth, have resulted in an increase in total assets, comprised largely of land and wells, as well as increased petroleum and natural gas sales, influenced by commodity prices and commodity mix.

Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects. The financial information contained elsewhere in Management's Discussion and Analysis has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the financial statements. Management has developed and maintains systems of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that all transactions are properly recorded in the Company’s financial records, that procedures and policies are adhered to, that the financial statements realistically report the Company’s operating and financial results, and that assets are safeguarded from unauthorized use. Management believes that this system of internal controls has operated effectively for the year ended December 31, 2015. KPMG LLP, an independent firm of chartered professional accountants, has been engaged to examine the financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and to provide an independent auditors’ report thereon. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, has reviewed the financial statements including notes thereto with management and KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee is composed of three unrelated and independent members of the Board of Directors and meets quarterly with the financial officers of the Company. KPMG LLP has access to the Audit Committee to review the planning and scope of testing and to discuss the results of their audit work. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the accompanying financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of TORC Oil & Gas Ltd., which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) 1. Reporting entity TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. (the “Company” or "TORC") was incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 23, 2010 as 1525893 Alberta Ltd. The Company's name was changed to TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. on December 17, 2010. The Company's principal business activity is the exploration for and production of petroleum and natural gas in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The Company's principal place of business is located at Suite 1800, Eighth Avenue Place, 525 - 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 1G1. 2. Basis of preparation Operating expenses in the statement of income and comprehensive income are presented as a combination of function and nature to conform with industry practice. Depletion and depreciation is presented on a separate line by its nature, while operating expenses and general and administrative expenses are presented on a functional basis. Significant expenses such as key management personnel's short-term employee benefits and stock-based compensation are presented by their nature in the notes to the financial statements. (a) Statement of compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2016. (b) Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value when outstanding. (c) Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. (d) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and for any future years affected. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies: The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Company’s assets are aggregated into cash generating units for the purpose of calculating impairment. Cash generating units ("CGU" or "CGUs") are based on an assessment of the unit’s ability to generate independent cash inflows. The determination of these CGUs was based on management’s judgment in regards to shared infrastructure, geographical proximity, petroleum type and similar exposure to market risk and materiality.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Judgments are required to assess when impairment indicators exist and impairment testing is required. In determining the recoverable amount of assets, in the absence of quoted market prices, impairment tests are based on estimates of reserves, production rates, future oil and natural gas prices, future costs, discount rates, market value of land and other relevant assumptions. the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires management to make certain The application of judgments as to future events and circumstances as to whether economic quantities of reserves will be found so as to assess if technical feasibility and commercial viability has been achieved. Judgments are made by management to determine the likelihood of whether deferred income tax assets at the end of the reporting period will be realized from future taxable earnings. Key sources of estimation uncertainty: The following are key estimates and their assumptions made by management affecting the measurement of balances and transactions in these financial statements. Estimation of recoverable quantities of proven and probable reserves include estimates and assumptions regarding future commodity prices, exchange rates, discount rates and production and transportation costs for future cash flows as well as the interpretation of the complex geological and geophysical models and data. Changes in reported reserves can affect decommissioning obligations, the economic feasibility of exploration and evaluation assets and the amounts reported for depletion, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment. These reserve estimates are verified by third party professional engineers, who work with information provided by the Company to establish reserve determinations in accordance with National Instrument 51-101. the impairment of assets, In most The Company estimates the decommissioning obligations for oil and natural gas wells and their associated production facilities and instances, removal of assets and remediation occurs many years into the future. Amounts recorded for the pipelines. decommissioning obligations and related accretion expense require assumptions regarding removal date, future environmental legislation, the extent of reclamation activities required, the engineering methodology for estimating cost, inflation estimates, future removal technologies in determining the removal cost, and the estimate of the liability specific discount rates to determine the present value of these cash flows. In a business combination, management makes estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which includes assessing the value of oil and gas properties based upon the estimation of recoverable quantities of proven and probable reserves being acquired. The Company’s estimate of stock-based compensation is dependent upon estimates of historic volatility, assessment of achieving performance conditions. forfeiture rates and an The Company’s estimate of the fair value of derivative financial instruments is dependent on estimated forward prices and volatility in those prices. The deferred tax liability is based on estimates as to the timing of the reversal of temporary differences, substantively enacted tax rates and the likelihood of assets being realized.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) 3. Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the years presented in the financial statements by the Company. (a) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, substantive potential voting rights are taken into consideration. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for acquisitions of subsidiaries and assets that meet the definition of a business under IFRS. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized immediately in the statement of income and comprehensive income. the date of exchange. (ii) Jointly owned assets Many of the Company’s oil and natural gas activities involve jointly owned assets. The financial statements include the Company’s share of these jointly owned assets and a proportionate share of the relevant revenue and related costs. The relationships with jointly owned asset partners have been referred to as joint venture in the remainder of the financial statements as is common in the Canadian oil and gas industry. (iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements. (b) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate. Non- monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income. (c) Financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, dividends payable and bank debt. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents including bank overdrafts, (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 9 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and short term deposits on the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Other: Other non-derivative financial instruments, such as bank debt, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and dividends payable, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Derivative financial instruments The Company may enter into certain financial derivative contracts (often known as "hedges") in order to manage the exposure to market risks from fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company has not designated its financial derivative contracts as effective accounting hedges, and thus has not applied hedge accounting, even though the Company considers all commodity contracts to be economic hedges. As a result, all financial derivative contracts are classified at fair value through profit and loss and are recorded on the statement of financial position at fair value. Related transaction costs such as trading commissions are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income when incurred. Forward physical delivery and sales contracts of oil and natural gas products are entered into under normal course of business and therefore not recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position. These physical delivery contracts are not considered to be derivative financial instruments or hedges. Settlements on these physical delivery contracts are recognized in oil and natural gas revenue on the statement of income and comprehensive income. Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, warrants and share (d) Exploration and evaluation assets ("E&E") Costs incurred prior to the ownership of licenses and rights to drill on properties are expensed in the statement of income and comprehensive income as incurred, if the related licenses and rights are not subsequently acquired. The costs incurred to acquire licenses and rights to drill, including seismic costs, and the subsequent drilling and completing costs related to these licenses (including employee remuneration, materials and fuel used, rig costs and payments made to contractors) are capitalized as E&E assets until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been evaluated. E&E assets are accumulated in cost centers pending the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability of the drilling project. Technical feasibility and commercial viability is considered to be achieved when proven and probable reserves are determined to exist for a project area. Upon determination of proven and probable reserves, the related E&E assets in the associated project area are typically reclassified to a different long-term asset category, Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E") , where the assets may be subject to depletion expense. E&E assets are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses and not subject to depletion expense until after these assets are reclassified to PP&E. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 10 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) As facts and circumstances suggest, E&E assets are tested for impairment. The Company compares the carrying amount of its total E&E assets to the assets' recoverable amount, which, for E&E assets, is generally the fair market value of undeveloped land at the time of impairment testing. In addition, E&E assets related to specific technically feasible and commercially viable cost centers are tested for impairment if and when they are reclassified to PP&E. E&E assets are aggregated with the associated cash generating units for the purposes of impairment testing. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed as facts and circumstances suggest to evaluate if those losses have decreased or no longer exist. If those impairment losses have decreased or no longer exist (recovered), they are reversed accordingly. Previously recognized impairment losses may be recovered in future reporting periods due to changes in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss recovery is recorded only to the extent that the E&E asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized. Impairment losses and recoveries are recorded in the statement of income and comprehensive income. (e) Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") There are two categories of PP&E: Developed and Producing ("D&P") assets and Other PP&E assets. D&P assets include capital costs (i) related to drilling projects where the drilling location is already determined to hold proven reserves, (ii) that have been reclassified from E&E assets because proven reserves have been determined, and (iii) incurred to improve an already technically feasible and commercially viable well. Other PP&E typically includes furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and office equipment. For statement of financial position presentation, both D&P assets and Other PP&E are included in the PP&E category. (i) Recognition and measurement PP&E is measured at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of depletion and depreciation, when significant parts of PP&E have different useful lives, they are accounted for separately so that depletion and depreciation rates appropriately reflect useful lives. Gains and losses on disposal of PP&E, property swaps and farm-outs, including oil and natural gas interests, are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal of fair value of the asset received or given up, with the carrying amount of the PP&E sold, and are recognized on a net basis in profit or loss. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets are grouped into the smallest group of assets that generate independent cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. These groups of assets are called cash generating units ("CGU's"). Impairment testing of PP&E is performed as facts and circumstances suggest by comparing the carrying amount of each CGU to each CGU's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of (i) its value in use, and (ii) its fair value less selling costs. In assessing value in use for D&P assets, the estimated future cash flows from the production of proven and probable reserves are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Value in use is generally computed by reference to the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from proved and probable reserves. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date to evaluate if those losses have decreased or no longer exist. If those impairment losses have decreased or no longer exist (recovered), they are reversed accordingly. Previously recognized impairment losses may be recovered in future reporting periods due to changes in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss recovery is recorded only to the extent that the PP&E carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion and depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Impairment losses and recoveries are recorded in the statement of income and comprehensive income. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 11 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) (ii) Proven and probable reserves Proven and probable reserves represent the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological, geophysical and engineering data demonstrate with a specified degree of certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs and which are considered commercially producible. There should be a 50 percent statistical probability that the actual quantity of recoverable reserves will be more than the amount estimated as proven and probable and a 50 percent statistical probability that it will be less. At least annually, reserves are evaluated by independent reserve evaluators. Such reserves may be considered commercially producible if management has the intention of developing and producing them and such intention is based upon: ● ● ● a reasonable assessment of the future economics of such production; a reasonable expectation that there is a market for all or substantially all the expected oil and natural gas production; and evidence that the necessary production, transmission and transportation facilities are available or can be made available. Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe using a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent. This conversion ratio is based upon an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. Boe figures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. (iii) Subsequent costs Subsequent costs are capital costs incurred to improve an existing D&P asset (such as a well) that is technically feasible and commercially viable. These costs are capitalized as D&P assets only if they increase the future economic benefits of the asset. All other expenditures are expensed in the statement of income and comprehensive income as incurred. These improvement costs include capital costs of further developing proven reserves or enhancing production. The costs of routine maintenance of D&P assets are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income as incurred. The carrying value of any replaced or sold component is derecognized. (iv) Depletion and depreciation The net carrying value of D&P assets is depleted using the unit-of-production method by calculating the ratio of production in the period to the related proven and probable reserves. The carrying value to be depleted includes estimated future development costs necessary to produce proven and probable reserves. Future development costs are estimated by considering the level of development required to produce the proven and probable reserves and are reviewed by independent reserve engineers at least annually. Undeveloped land related to a proven project area, for which specific proven and probable reserves have not yet been assigned, are withheld from depletion. For Other PP&E, depreciation is recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Finance lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. (f) Goodwill The Company records goodwill relating to corporate acquisitions when the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired by the Company. When goodwill is negative, it is recognized immediately in the statement of income and comprehensive income. The goodwill balance is assessed for impairment annually or as events occur that could result in an impairment. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to CGU’s that are expected to economically benefit from the business combination from which the goodwill arose. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income. identified in a CGU are first charged against any goodwill related to that CGU, with any remaining impairment losses charged against E&E or PP&E assets remaining in that CGU. Impairment losses of goodwill cannot be reversed. (g) Leased assets Leases where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expenses and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expenses are allocated to each year during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Other leases are operating leases, which are not recognized on the Company's statement of financial position. Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and not recognized as a liability on the Company's statement of financial position. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. (h) Stock-based compensation The grant date fair value of stock-based compensation on equity instruments, such as stock options, incentive shares and restricted and performance awards granted to employees, is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus over the vesting period. A forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date and is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock-based compensation equity instruments that vest including adjustments for performance conditions. The inputs used in the calculation of the fair value of stock-based compensation are estimated on the grant date. (i) Flow-through shares The Company may finance a portion of its exploration activities through the issuance of flow-through common shares. Under the terms of the flow-through share agreements, the resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes are renounced to investors in accordance with the appropriate income tax legislation. The proceeds from the sale of flow-through shares are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits. The allocation is made based on the difference between the fair market price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the flow-through shares (given no other differences between the securities). A flow-through share liability is recognized for this difference. On a pro-rata basis, the previously recorded flow-through share liability is reversed and a corresponding deferred tax liability (equal to the Company’s effective tax rate multiplied by the flow-through commitment) is recognized as qualifying expenditures are incurred. Any difference between the reversal of the flow-through share liability and corresponding deferred tax liability is recognized as deferred tax expense in the statement of income and comprehensive income. (j) Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 13 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Examples of provisions include dismantling, decommissioning and site disturbance remediation activities, and anticipated losses from lawsuits. Provision is made for the estimated cost of these activities and capitalized in the relevant asset category or expensed in the statement of income and comprehensive income. Decommissioning obligations Decommissioning obligations (also called asset retirement obligations) are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date. Subsequent to initial measurement, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time, known as accretion, is recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income as finance costs whereas increases/decreases due to changes in the estimated future cash flows are capitalized. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the decommissioning obligations are charged against the provision to the extent the provision was established. (k) Revenue Revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas is recorded when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product are transferred to the buyer which is usually when legal title passes to the external party. This is generally at the time product enters a third party pipeline or facility. Revenue is measured net of discounts, customs duties and royalties. With respect to the latter, the entity is acting as a collection agent on behalf of others. Tariffs and tolls charged to other entities for use of pipelines and facilities owned by the Company are recognized as revenue as they accrue in accordance with the terms of the service or tariff and tolling agreements. Royalty income is recognized as it accrues in accordance with the terms of the overriding royalty agreements. (l) Finance income and costs Finance costs comprise of interest expense on bank debt, accretion of the discount on decommissioning obligations, and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the statement of income and comprehensive income, using the effective interest method. (m) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, such as share issue costs, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) (n) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the net income or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of dilutive instruments such as options, incentive shares, and restricted and performance awards granted to employees. (o) Future accounting pronouncements The following accounting standards and amendments, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), become effective between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018: IFRS 11 (amendments to Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations ), IAS 16 and IAS 38 (amendments to Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization ), IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , IFRS 16 Leases and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments . The impact of these accounting standards and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, although the Company is still finalizing its assessment. 4. Determination of fair values A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The Company classifies the fair value of financial instruments according to the following hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instruments: ● ● ● Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Exploration and evaluation assets, and property, plant and equipment The fair value of exploration and evaluation assets and property, plant and equipment recognized in a business combination, is based on market value. The market value of E&E assets and PP&E is the estimated amount for which E&E assets and PP&E could be exchanged on the acquisition date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of oil and natural gas interests included in E&E assets and PP&E is estimated with reference to the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from oil and natural gas production based on internally and externally prepared reserve reports. The risk-adjusted discount rate is specific to the asset with reference to general market conditions. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 15 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, dividends payable and bank debt The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, bank overdrafts, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, dividends payable and bank debt is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and dividends payable approximated their carrying value due to their short term to maturity. The fair value of bank debt approximates its carrying value as it bears a floating rate of interest and the margin charged by the lenders are indicative of current credit spreads. Derivatives The fair value of financial forward contracts and swaps is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted prices and published forward price curves as at the statement of financial position date, using the remaining contracted oil and natural gas volumes and a risk-free interest rate. The fair value of costless collars is based on option models that use published information with respect to volatility, prices and interest rates. The Company classifies its derivatives as Level 2. Level 2 values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Stock-based compensation The fair value of employee stock options is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the option, expected volatility, weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, forfeiture rate and the risk-free interest rate (based on Incentive shares and restricted and performance awards are fair valued based on the share price on the government bonds). measurement date with a forfeiture rate applied. 5. Financial risk management (a) Overview The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk that arise as a result of its exploration, development, production and financing activities. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk and the Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. framework. The Board of Directors oversees management's establishment and execution of Management has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and market conditions. the Company’s risk management (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The carrying amount of the Company’s trade and other receivables represents the maximum credit exposure. With respect to trade and other receivables, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 16 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Receivables from petroleum and natural gas marketers are collected on the 25th day of each month following production. The Company's policy to mitigate credit risk associated with these balances is to establish relationships with credit-worthy marketers, as well as to carefully assess the extent of credit granted to these parties. Joint venture receivables are normally collected within one to three months of the joint venture bill being issued to the partner. The Company attempts to mitigate the risk from joint venture receivables by obtaining partner approval of capital expenditures prior to expenditure. However, the receivables are from participants in the petroleum and natural gas sector and collection of the outstanding balances is dependent on industry factors such as commodity price fluctuations, escalating costs and the risk of unsuccessful drilling. Further risks exist with joint venture partners as disagreements occasionally arise, increasing the risk of non-collection. The Company does not typically obtain collateral from petroleum and natural gas marketers or joint venture partners. However, the Company does have the ability to withhold production from joint venture partners in the event of non-payment, as well as requiring prepayment (cash calls) for significant expenditures. The Company does not anticipate any default as it transacts with credit-worthy customers and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these customers. As such, a provision for doubtful accounts has not been recorded at December 31, 2015 or 2014. The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables at the reporting date by type of customer was: Petroleum and natural gas marketing companies Joint venture partners Other parties Bank (1) Total trade and other receivables December 31, 2015 $22,528 3,787 1,607 2,105 $30,027 December 31, 2014 $13,994 5,328 33 3,315 $22,670 (1) Bank is comprised of commodity derivative contract settlements receivable from certain members of the Company's bank syndicate.

The financial liabilities on the statement of financial position consist of trade and other payables, dividends payable and bank debt. Trade and other payables and dividends payable are considered due within one year. The terms for bank debt are outlined in note 20. The liabilities. The Company has had no defaults or Company anticipates it will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund its financial breaches on its financial liabilities. (d) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices relating to currency, commodity prices and interest rates will affect the Company’s net earnings, future cash flows, the value of financial instruments, or the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters. (continued) TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. 2015 Page 17 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TORC Oil & Gas Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Although the Company generally does not sell or transact in foreign currency, the United States dollar influences the price of petroleum and natural gas sold in Canada. Furthermore, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the fair value and cash flow from derivative contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not enter into any foreign currency derivative contracts. Commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas are also impacted by political events, meteorological conditions and changes in supply and demand. The Company may enter into commodity derivative contracts that provide downside price protection in order to provide some stability of cash flows for capital spending and planning purposes. The Company’s risk management activities are conducted pursuant to its risk management policies approved by the Board of Directors. Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from its floating rate credit facility. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not enter into any interest rate derivative contracts. Assuming all other variables remain constant, an increase or decrease of one percent in market interest rates in the year ended December 31, 2015 would have decreased or increased shareholders’ equity and net income by $2.3 million. (e) Capital management The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain financial flexibility and to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments relative to changes in economic conditions and the Company's risk profile. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Company may from time to time issue shares and adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. The Company considers its capital structure to include working capital, bank debt and shareholders’ equity. The same as in the prior year, in order to optimize capital and operating efficiency, the Company monitors its net debt. Net debt is calculated as current assets (excluding financial derivative assets) less: i) current liabilities (excluding financial derivative liabilities), ii) bank debt, and iii) non-current deferred lease incentives. In times of net debt, the Company monitors debt levels based on a ratio of net debt to annualized funds flow from operations. The Company defines funds flow from operations as cash flow from operating activities prior to changes in non-cash working capital and settlement of decommissioning obligations.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $185.1 million of property, plant and equipment which was excluded from depletion at the time and largely related to undeveloped land (December 31, 2014: $104.2 million). Estimated future development costs of $529.6 million were included in the depletion calculation (December 31, 2014: $406.4 million). On March 31, 2015, the Company closed a swap of certain petroleum and natural gas properties in southeast Saskatchewan (the “Asset In the Asset Swap, the Company gave up properties with a carrying value of $50.2 million and received properties with an Swap”). equivalent fair value, and therefore no gain or loss was recognized. The fair value was determined based on the properties given up. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has capitalized $6.2 million of general and administrative expenses and $7.9 million of stock-based compensation, which are directly attributable to the acquisition or exploration activities of the Company (for the year ended December 31, 2014: $6.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively).

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) Impairment For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized impairment of $114.0 million on PP&E assets (the “Impaired PP&E Assets”) with carrying values exceeding the recoverable amounts principally due to the decline in crude oil prices. The Company determined there to be indicators of impairment regarding these PP&E assets, based on the prolonged decline of crude oil prices, upcoming land expiries and near term reallocations of future capital spending. The impairment consisted of $62.0 million related to assets in the Cardium CGU, $45.0 million to assets in the Southern Alberta CGU and $7.0 million to the Southeast Saskatchewan CGU. The recoverable amount, determined using value in use, of a CGU is the greater of (i) its value in use, and (ii) its fair value less selling costs. The recoverable amounts for the Impaired PP&E Assets were $426.0 million in the Cardium CGU, $41.0 million in the Southern Alberta CGU and $1.1 billion in the Southeast Saskatchewan CGU, reflecting the 10-12% pre-tax present value of future cash flows from proved and probable reserves and values for undeveloped land. In determining the future cash flows, the Company utilized the following benchmark pricing forecasts from its independent reserves evaluator: Canadian Light Sweet Crude ($/Bbl) 55.20 69.00 78.43 89.41 91.71 93.08 94.48 95.90 97.34 98.80 100.28 Western Canada Select ($/Bbl) 45.26 57.96 65.88 75.11 77.03 78.19 79.36 80.55 81.76 82.99 84.23 Alberta AECO - C Spot ($/MMBtu) 2.25 2.95 3.42 3.91 4.20 4.28 4.35 4.43 4.51 4.59 4.67 Edmonton Pentanes Plus ($/Bbl) 59.10 73.88 83.98 95.73 98.19 99.66 101.16 102.68 104.22 105.78 107.37 Edmonton Butane ($/Bbl) 39.09 51.43 58.46 66.64 68.35 69.38 70.42 71.48 72.55 73.64 74.74 Edmonton Propane ($/Bbl) 9.09 13.64 25.84 35.35 42.30 42.94 43.58 44.24 44.90 45.57 46.26 Exchange Rate ($US/$CAD) 0.75 0.80 0.83 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 0.85 Year 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 14.

Notes to the Financial Statements As at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in $000's of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company used a risk free rate of 2.15 percent and an inflation rate of 1.8 percent to calculate the net present value of the decommissioning obligations, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 when the risk free rate was 2.85 percent and the inflation rate was 1.8 percent, resulting in a change in estimate of $21.2 million. Actual costs may differ from estimated costs due to changes in laws and regulations, timing of costs, changes in technology and market conditions. The decommissioning obligations acquired pursuant to the February Acquisition and June Acquisition, during the year ended December 31, 2015, were initially recognized using a fair value interest rate of 7 percent. They were subsequently revalued using the risk free rates of 2.0 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively, resulting in a combined change of $87.6 million. 15. Taxes Tax expense The combined provision for taxes in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) reflects an effective tax rate which differs from the expected statutory rate. The reasons for the difference are as follows: Income (loss) before taxes Statutory income tax rate Expected income tax (recovery) Add (deduct): Non-deductible stock-based compensation Flow-through share liability Permanent depletion Rate adjustments Other Deferred income tax Year ended Dec 31, 2015 ($227,702) 26.3% (59,992) Year ended Dec 31, 2014 $13,200 25.6% 3,376 2,340 881 428 2,236 (940) ($55,047) 2,672 672 264 145 (187) $6,942 As a result of the Alberta corporate tax rate increasing from 10% to 12% effective July 1, 2015, the corporate statutory income tax rate increased in 2015, such that the combined Federal and Provincial statutory income tax rate increased from 25.6% in 2014 to 26.3% in 2015.

Share capital The Company has a significant investor, the CPP Investment Board (“CPPIB”). For so long as CPPIB owns greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, it has the right to participate in future offerings of securities by the Company, whether by way of public offering or private placement. This includes any offering of common shares and securities convertible or exchangeable into common shares, up to its pro rata ownership interest immediately prior to such offering in the case of a public offering or a private placement to five or more investors, in order to maintain its pro rata percentage ownership interest in the Company, and up to all of the offering in the case of a private placement to less than five investors. Share capital - authorized At December 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A voting common shares, an unlimited number of Class B non-voting common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. The Company has not issued any Class B non-voting common shares nor any preferred shares. Share capital - issued In conjunction with the June Acquisition described in note 6, TORC secured an equity investment by the Canada Pension Plan In Investment Board ("CPPIB") for gross proceeds of $150.0 million through a private placement of 14.85 million common shares. addition, TORC also closed a bought deal prospectus offering of 28.52 million common shares for gross proceeds of $288.0 million. The combined gross proceeds were $438.0 million. In February 2015, the Company closed an acquisition various properties and working interests in its core southeast Saskatchewan area (the "February Acquisition") described in note 7. Consideration paid was $146.7 million which included the issuance of 16,000,000 common shares valued at $9.17 per share based on TORC's trading price on February 25, 2015 (the date the February Acquisition closed). On October 29, 2014, the Company completed an equity financing by issuing 1,441,900 common shares on a flow-through basis at a weighted average of $13.67 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $19.7 million, before share issue costs. As at December 31, 2015, the Company had spent the necessary qualifying resource expenditures and there is no further obligation remaining for this financing. Warrants On December 17, 2010, the Company closed a private placement to insiders and service providers whereby 5 million units ("Units") were issued at $4.00 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $20.0 million. Each Unit was comprised of 0.52 common shares, 0.17 common shares issued on a flow-through basis and 0.7 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants"). Each Warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $7.18, subject to the following conditions: ● ● ● ● one-third of the Warrants may be exercised after the Company's stock price (the "Stock Price") exceeds $11.49; one-third of the Warrants may be exercised after the Company's Stock Price exceeds $14.37; one-third of the Warrants may be exercised after the Company's Stock Price exceeds $17.24; and the Stock Price is defined as the weighted average price per share for the 20 consecutive trading days ending immediately before such date on the Toronto Stock Exchange on which the Company's shares are listed. In the year ended December 31, 2014, 1,134,244 Warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $8.1 million. At December 31, 2014, there were 2.3 million Warrants outstanding of which 1.2 million of the Warrants were exercisable. In the year ended December 31, 2015, 4,640 Warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $0.03 million. All remaining Warrants outstanding or exercisable expired on December 16, 2015.

During the period between January 1, 2016 and March 3, 2016, $10.5 million of dividends have been declared. Subsequent to December 31, 2015, as a result of continued volatility and uncertainty in commodity prices, the Company reduced its monthly dividend from $0.045 per common share to $0.02 per common share, commencing with the dividend to be paid on March 15, 2016 to common shareholders. 18. Stock-based compensation In September 2013, the Company's shareholders approved an award plan (the ‘‘Share Award Plan’’) whereby restricted awards and performance awards (collectively, ‘‘Share Awards’’) may be granted to the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The maximum number of common shares issuable under the Share Award Plan, combined with the Company's existing stock option and incentive share plans, cannot exceed ten percent of the outstanding common shares. In addition, the combined number of restricted and performance awards cannot exceed 6.5 percent of the outstanding common shares. Share Awards are earned over various periods, generally up to three years from the date of grant. Upon being earned, the restricted awards are converted into common shares and issued from treasury at no cost to the recipient. The performance awards are converted into common shares using a multiplier between zero and two, dependent on the Company's performance on a set criteria as determined by the Board of Directors. In the case of both restricted and performance awards, the number of common shares to be issued on the applicable issue date is adjusted to account for the payment of dividends from the grant date to the applicable issue date. Stock options Stock options granted have a term of five years to expiry and have various vesting periods up to three years.

The multiplier, which was determined during the earning period, is considered to have been applied at the grant date. The number of common shares to be issued upon being earned is adjusted to account for the payment of dividends from the grant date to the earning date. As performance multipliers are known, past grants are adjusted to reflect the multiplier. The fair value of performance awards is deemed to equal the stock price on the date of grant. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the weighted average fair value of performance awards granted was $7.13 per performance award (year ended December 31, 2014: $10.94 per performance award).

Therefore, the diluted per share amounts for net loss are equivalent to the basic per share amounts. In computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014, 945,285 warrants, 127,144 stock options, 62,198 incentive shares, 824,772 performance awards and 543,769 restricted awards were added to the basic weighted average common shares outstanding. 20. Credit facility At December 31, 2015, the Company had a reserves-based revolving credit facility of $450 million with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Facility"), comprised of a $55 million operating facility from the operating lender (the "Operating Facility") and a $395 million syndicated facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Syndicated Facility"). As at December 31, 2015 the amount drawn from the Credit Facility was $230.1 million. Advances under the Credit Facility are available by way of direct advances, bankers' acceptances and standby letters of credit/guarantees. Direct advances bear interest at the prime rate, U.S. base rate or Libor rate, as applicable, plus a margin which is dependent on the Company's debt to trailing funds flow ratio. The bankers' acceptances bear interest at the applicable bankers' acceptance rate plus a stamping fee, based on the Company's debt to trailing funds flow ratio. Both the Syndicated Facility and the Operating Facility are available on a revolving basis until April 28, 2016. On or before April 28, 2016, at TORC's request and subject to the approval of the lending syndicate, the Credit Facility may be extended for an additional 364 day period. In the event of non-extension, the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility will be cancelled and the amount outstanding will convert to a 364 day non-revolving term facility with repayment of the Credit Facility due on April 28, 2017. The Credit Facility is secured by a fixed and floating charge debenture on all of the Company's assets. The borrowing base is primarily based on reserves and commodity prices estimated by the lenders. The borrowing base of the Company's Credit Facility is subject to review and redetermination by the lenders on a semi-annual basis and in the event of a change in the Company's borrowing base properties (including due to a disposition of assets beyond certain defined limits or a change which results In the normal course, the Company's next credit facility evaluation is due to in a material adverse effect, as determined by the lenders). be completed by April 28, 2016.
