Cautionary Statement

This presentation contains forward -looking information on future production, project start-ups and future capital spending. Actual results could differ materially due to changes in project schedules, operating performance, demand for oil and gas, commercial negotiations or other technical and economic factors.

Oil-equivalent barrels (OEB) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. An OEB conversion ratio of 6,000 cubic feet to one barrel is based on an energy -equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head.

Proved reserves are calculated under United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements, as shown in Form 10-K dated December 31, 2010.

Pursuant to National Instrument 51-101 disclosure guidelines, and using Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook definitions, Imperial’s non-proved resources are classified as a “contingent resource. “ Such resources are a best estimate of the company’s net interest after royalties at year-end 2010, as determined by Imperial’s internal qualified reserves evaluator. Contingent resources are considered to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, using established technology or technology under development, but are currently not considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce any portion of the resource.
