Outlook and Opportunities

2015 focus on the East African Rift System

Upcoming licence rounds in Uganda with some individual licence awards in other countries.

Focus changing from direct negotiations to a combination of direct negotiations and industrial M&A.

Currently in discussions with a number of companies as part of that M&A strategy.

A number of regionally-active companies are either open to deals or are vulnerable in today´s low oil price environment.

Will develop the asset base in parallel with the development of the local content approach that has helped us so far.

After 2015, New Ventures focus likely to look beyond the East African Rift System.

There is no certainty that any discovered resources referred to in this presentation will be commercially viable to produce. There is no certainty that any portion of the undiscovered resources will bediscovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.

Risks associated with discovering oil: The estimation of prospective resource volumes for high-risk and poorly calibrated basins can be subject to large variation from the introduction of new information. Theestimates presented herein are based on all of the information available at the effective date of the resource estimate. New data or information is likely to have a material effect on the resource assessmentvalues. Whilst additional exploration work will be undertaken, there is no certainty that any additional resources will be discovered. Once discovered, there is no certainty that the discovery will becommercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. It s likely that significant changes to the resource estimates will occur with the incorporation of additional data and information.

Risk Associated with the Estimates: In the event of a discovery, basic reservoir parameters, such as porosity, net hydrocarbon pay thickness, fluid composition and water saturation, may vary from thoseassumed by the Company’s independent third party resource evaluator affecting the volume of hydrocarbon estimated to be present. Other factors such as the reservoir pressure, density and viscosity of theoil and solution gas/oil ratio will affect the volume of oil that can be recovered. Additional reservoir parameters such as permeability, the presence or absence of water drive and the specific mineralogy of thereservoir rock may affect the efficiency of the recovery process. Recovery of the resources may also be affected by well performance, reliability of production and process facilities, the availability and qualityof source water for enhanced recovery processes and availability of fuel gas. There is no certainty that certain mineral interests are not affected by ownership considerations that have not yet come to light.

Substantial Capital Requirements: Swala expects to make significant capital expenditures for exploration activities in the future. The Company's ability to access the equity or debt markets may be affected byany prolonged market instability. The inability to access the equity or debt markets for sufficient capital, at acceptable terms and within required time frames, could have a material adverse effect on theCompany's financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Ability to Execute Exploration and Development Program: It may not always be possible for Swala to execute its exploration and development strategies in the manner in which the Company considersoptimal. Execution of exploration and development strategies is dependent upon the political and security climate in the host countries where the Company operates and agreement amongst the Companyjoint venture partners. The Company's exploration and development programs in East Africa may involve the need to obtain approvals from relevant authorities who may require conditions to be satisfied orthe exercise of discretion by the relevant authorities. It may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied.

Absence of a Formal Development Plan including Required Funding: There is no certainty the Company will prepare and have approved a development plan for any portion of the contingent resources or thatthe Company will be successful in funding any development should such a plan be prepared. General market conditions, the sufficiency of such a development plan and the outlook regarding oil and gas pricesare some factors that will influence the availability of funding or the Company’s ability to attract oil and gas industry partners to participate in the project.

Access to Infrastructure: Currently there is limited local infrastructure for the production and distribution of oil and gas in the countries in which Swala operates. Export infrastructure to enable other marketsto be accessed has not yet been developed and is contingent on numerous factors including, but not limited to, sufficient reserves being discovered to reach a commercial threshold to justify the constructionof export pipelines and agreement amongst various government agencies regulating the transportation and sale of oil and gas.

Additional Risks: Additional risks associated with the estimate of the prospective and contingent resources include risks associated with the oil and gas industry generally (i.e. financing; operational risks inexploration, development and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections related toproduction; costs and expenses; health, safety, security and environmental risks; and the uncertainty of resource estimates), drilling equipment availability and efficiency, the ability to attract and retain keypersonnel, the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the uncertainty associated with dealing with governments and obtaining regulatory approvals, and the risk associated withinternational activities.
