(1) Management uses funds generated by operations to analyze operating performance and leverage. Funds generated by operations as presented do

not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore it may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The reconciliation between funds flow from operations and cash flow from operating activities can be found in the MD & A.

(2) Boe conversion ratio for natural gas of 1 Boe: 6 Mcf has been used, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

(3) Corporate netbacks are calculated as the operating netback less general and administrative expenses, financial charges asset retirement obligations

and transaction costs.

(4) Excludes unrealized risk management contracts.

Highlights

Wild Stream increased production by 74% to 6,190 boe/d (90% liquids) over the second quarter of
3,549 boe/d and a 166 % increase from 2,326 boe/d in the comparable quarter of 2010.
Wild Stream has grown production through drilling and optimization on the recently acquired southwest
Saskatchewan assets by 40% to the current level of 2,500 boe/d from 1,800 boe/d at closing.
Funds flow from operations increased 171% to $20.3 million ($0.30 per share - basic), compared to
$7.5 million ($0.21 per share - basic) in the third quarter of 2010.
During the third quarter, Wild Stream incurred capital expenditures of $49.5 million of which $39.9 million were from drilling and completion expenditures. The Company drilled 24 (22.4 net) oil wells with a 100% success rate including 14.4 net wells in Shaunavon, 7.0 net wells in Dodsland and 1.0 net well in Swan Hills.
Wild Stream incurred land expenditures of $1.7 million through participation at Crown land sales purchasing over 3,000 net acres of undeveloped land primarily in its core areas of Swan Hills and Shaunavon to further enhance our drilling inventory. Additionally the Company incurred acquisition expenditures of $1.6 million consolidating working interests in its core areas.
Net debt increased by $25.7 million to $88.3 million for the period ending September 30, 2011, which represents approximately 1.0 times annualized third quarter fund flows from operations. As at September 30, 2011, Wild Stream's balance sheet continues to remain strong with approximately $72 million of remaining borrowing capacity against its $160 million credit facility.

Highlights for Wild Stream subsequent to the third quarter of 2011 include:

During October Wild Stream's production averaged more than 6,800 boe/d (92% oil) and we re-affirm our exit guidance of 7,000 boe/d.
Wild Stream completed the interim review of its bank facility with its banking syndicate. The syndicate has confirmed the $160 million borrowing base until the next review which will occur by May 2012.
Expanded our hedge position to include 2,250 bbls/d of oil at a fixed WTI price of Cdn $96.04/bbl in
2012 and 250 bbls/d at a fixed WCS price of $75.88 for 2012.

Operations Review Shaunavon area

During the third quarter, Wild Stream drilled 15 (14.4 net) horizontal oil wells achieving a 100 percent success rate. Active drilling on our recently acquired northern lands commenced in late August. To date, we have drilled six Upper Shaunavon horizontal wells, two Lower Shaunavon horizontal wells and one Cantuar horizontal well on this acreage.

Upper Shaunavon formation

Northern Lands
6 horizontal wells drilled, completed and currently producing.
The six wells have tested six seperate Upper Shaunavon pools across the northern acreage.
The initial tests have met our expectations with initial oil production rates varying between 40 -
180 bbls/d.
Additional testing throughout the first quarter of 2012 will continue to define the more prolific areas of the Upper Shaunavon on our northern lands.
Southern Lands
Two additional Upper Shaunavon horizontal oil wells are planned for the fourth quarter in addition to the conversion of 3 additional injection wells.

Lower Shaunavon formation

Our first horizontal well testing the northern extension of the Lower Shaunavon was drilled in September. This well has been on production for 30 days and preliminary results are below expectations with an average oil rate of 20 bbls/d and water cut in excess of 90%.
Our second horizontal test well on the northern extension of the Lower Shaunavon has been drilled and is waiting on completion.

Cantuar formation

Our first horizontal well testing the Cantuar formation has been drilled and was placed on production on
November 1.
Preliminary results after 20 days on-stream demonstrates the well is currently performing at expectations with oil rates of 80 - 100 bbls/d.
A second Cantuar horizontal well is planned for late in the fourth quarter.

Dodsland area

Drilled 7 net horizontal oil wells during the third quarter at a 100% success rate.
Active drilling will recommence in the first quarter of 2012 with 15-20 horizontal wells.

Swan Hills

Wild Stream drilled 2 (1.0 net) horizontal wells in the third quarter.
Completion activities on both wells have been delayed due to acid supply shortages.
The first well is expected to be on production by the end of November while the second well is not expected to be completed until January of 2012.

Outlook

Wild Stream continues to successfully execute on its business plan of providing per share value growth through its combined exploration, exploitation and enhanced oil recovery strategies. This is demonstrated by our cashflow and production per share growth which is in excess of 45% over the comparable period in 2010.
Wild Stream has more than 1,000 net risked drilling locations in our current inventory. The inventory provides the fuel to grow our reserves, production and net asset value in the future.
Wild Stream will provide 2012 guidance in late January 2012.
We remain committed to increasing shareholder value through a combination of exploration, strategic acquisitions and subsequent exploitation while maintaining a conservative approach to balance sheet management.

Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in legislation affecting the oil and gas industry and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures.
