NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. (“Bellatrix” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Western Canadian based growth oriented oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for, and the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves, with highly concentrated operations in west central Alberta, principally focused on profitable development of the Spirit River liquids rich natural gas play.

Common shares of Bellatrix trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “BXE”.

Bellatrix was incorporated in Alberta, Canada and the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is located at 1920, 800 - 5^th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3T6.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

a. Statement of compliance

These condensed financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were authorized by the Board of Directors on May 8, 2018. The Company prepared these interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statement note disclosures do not include all of those required by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable for annual financial statements. Accordingly, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as at, and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

b. Basis of measurement

The interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency, and have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and liabilities for cash settled share-based payment arrangements measured at fair value. The interim financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment and reasonable limits of materiality. These interim financial statements are prepared within the framework of the same significant accounting policies, critical judgments, accounting estimates, accounting policies and methods of computation as the audited financial statements and notes thereto as at and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, except as discussed in Note 2(c).

c. Changes in significant accounting policies

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9")

The Company adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, amends the requirements related to hedge accounting, and introduces a forward-looking expected loss impairment model.

The adoption of this standard has no impact on the Company’s financial statements on the date of adoption, or for comparative periods. There was no change in the carrying amounts recognized under IAS 39, despite the new measurement categories stipulated under IFRS 9. The Company has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively, without restatement.

All financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Financial assets are subsequently measured at either amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, depending on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets, and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 5

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions:

(i). The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

(ii). The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets that meet condition (ii) above that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at their fair values, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

There was no change to the measurement categories for financial liabilities. Financial liability classifications are all unchanged from their classifications under IAS 39. Deferred share units, restricted awards and performance awards continue to be classified as FVTPL. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Credit Facilities, Senior Notes, Convertible Debentures (each as defined in Note 5) and finance lease obligations continue to be classified as amortized cost.

A comparison of financial instrument classifications, pre and post adoption of IFRS 9, is as follows:

Financial Assets and Liabilities	IAS 39	IFRS 9
Accounts receivable	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Commodity risk management contracts	FVTPL	FVTPL
Foreign exchange risk management contracts	FVTPL	FVTPL
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Deferred share units	FVTPL	FVTPL
Restricted awards	FVTPL	FVTPL
Performance awards	FVTPL	FVTPL
Credit Facilities	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Senior Notes	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Convertible Debentures	Amortized cost	Amortized cost
Finance lease obligation	Amortized cost	Amortized cost

The Company considers expected credit losses upon recognition of accounts receivable, and recognizes these expected credit losses as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable are short-term in nature, with the majority of payments typically received within a 12-month period. Accounts receivable do not have a significant financing component. Consequently, the Company recognizes an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical experience and forward-looking information. The carrying amount of these assets in the balance sheet is net of any loss allowance. The adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in any additional provision for impairment.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15")

The Company adopted IFRS 15 with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. Bellatrix used the cumulative effect method to adopt the new standard. Bellatrix has reviewed its revenue streams and major contracts with customers using the IFRS 15 five-step model and there are no material changes to the timing or amounts of revenue recognized.

The additional disclosures required by IFRS 15, including those required by the cumulative effect method, are detailed in Note 8.

Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, condensate and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) is measured based on the consideration specified in contracts with customers and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Bellatrix

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 6

recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the product to the buyer. This is generally at the time the customer obtains legal title to the product and when it is physically transferred to the delivery mechanism agreed with the customer, often pipelines or other transportation methods.

Bellatrix evaluates its arrangements with third parties and partners to determine if the Company acts as the principal or as an agent. In making this evaluation, management considers if Bellatrix obtains control of the product delivered, which is indicated by Bellatrix having the primary responsibility for the delivery of the product, having the ability to establish prices or having inventory risk. If Bellatrix acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as a principal in a transaction, then the revenue is recognized on a net basis, only reflecting the fee, if any, realized by the Company from the transaction.

Processing fees charged to other entities for use of pipelines and facilities owned by the Company are evaluated by management to determine if these originate from contracts with customers or from incidental or collaborative arrangements. Processing fees charged to other entities that are from contracts with customers are recognized in revenue when the related services are provided.

Royalty income is recognized as it accrues in accordance with the terms of the overriding royalty agreements.

Credit Facilities

At March 31, 2018, the Company had $56.9 million outstanding under its $120 million syndicated revolving credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) provided by four financial institutions. The Credit Facilities are available on an extendible revolving term basis and consist of a $25 million operating facility and a $95 million syndicated facility. The Credit Facilities have an initial term of one year and are extendible annually at the option of the Company, subject to lender approval, with a one year term-out period if not renewed. Availability under the Credit Facilities is subject to a borrowing base test, which is subject to redetermination in May and November of each year, with the next regularly scheduled redetermination to occur in May 2018.

The Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 the weighted average interest rate for amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities was 4.13%. The Credit Facilities are secured by a $1.0 billion debenture

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 8

containing a first ranking charge and security interest. The Company has provided a negative pledge and undertaking to provide fixed charges over its properties in certain circumstances.

As at March 31, 2018, total outstanding letters of credit were $12.9 million which reduced the amount otherwise available to be drawn under the Credit Facilities.

Convertible Debentures

At March 31, 2018, Bellatrix had outstanding $50 million of 6.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”). The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on September 30 and March 31 of each year. The maturity date of the Convertible Debentures is September 30, 2021. Each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Debenture was convertible at the option of the holder into approximately 123.4568 common shares of Bellatrix (representing a conversion price of $8.10). On and after September 30, 2019 and prior to September 30, 2020, the Convertible Debentures are redeemable at Bellatrix's option, in whole or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, if the weighted average trading price of Bellatrix's common shares for the specified period is not less than 125% of the conversion price. The Convertible Debentures are not redeemable prior to September 30, 2019, except in limited circumstances following a Change of Control (as defined by the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures). On and after September 30, 2020, the Convertible Debentures are redeemable at Bellatrix's option, in whole or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, up to but excluding the date set for redemption. The Convertible Debentures are direct, subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated to the Credit Facilities, the Senior Notes and any other senior indebtedness.

Senior Notes

At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding US$250 million of 8.50% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2020 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the Senior Notes semi-annually and the Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or in part at specified redemption prices. The Senior Notes are carried at amortized cost, net of debt issuance costs of $7.7 million, which accrete up to the principal balance at maturity using an effective interest rate of 9.6%.

Subsequent to March 31, 2018, Bellatrix acquired and cancelled US$10 million of the Senior Notes, issuing 7,081,837 common shares of Bellatrix in exchange. The transaction closed on May 4, 2018.

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 9

Covenants

The agreement governing the Credit Facilities contains a single maintenance financial covenant, which requires that the Company maintain a ratio of outstanding Senior Debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined by the terms of the agreement governing the Credit Facilities and adjusted for non-cash charges, for a trailing twelve month period of not more than 3.0 times (3.5 times for the two fiscal quarters immediately following a material acquisition) (the “Senior Debt Covenant”).

The following table lists the covenant under the Credit Facilities and the Company’s compliance therewith as at March 31, 2018:

	Covenant as at	Position at
	March 31, 2018	March 31, 2018
Credit Facilities - Senior Debt Covenant	Maximum Ratio
Senior Debt (1) to EBITDA (2)  for the last four fiscal quarters	3.00x	1.31	x

(1) “Senior Debt” is defined as Consolidated Total Debt, excluding any unsecured or subordinated debt (Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures (liability component)). “Consolidated Total Debt” is defined as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and without duplication, all Debt of the Borrower. The Company’s calculation of Consolidated Total Debt excludes decommissioning liabilities and deferred tax liability. The calculation includes outstanding letters of credit, Credit Facilities, finance lease obligations, deferred lease inducements, deferred capital obligations, deferred financing obligations and net working capital deficiency (excess), calculated as working capital deficiency excluding current risk management contract assets and liabilities and current decommissioning liabilities. Senior Debt at March 31, 2018 was $113.7 million.

(2)EBITDA is calculated based on terms and definitions set out in the agreement governing the Credit Facilities which adjusts net income for financing costs, certain specific unrealized and non-cash transactions, and acquisition and disposition activity and is calculated based on a trailing twelve month basis. EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2018 was $86.9 million.

The Senior Notes do not contain any maintenance financial covenants, but do contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, including borrowings under the Credit Facilities, unless one of two alternative tests are satisfied. The first test applies to all future indebtedness and requires that, after giving effect to the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio (which is the ratio of consolidated cash flow to fixed charges (both as defined in the Senior Notes indenture) over the trailing four fiscal quarters) will be at least 2.25 to 1.0. The second test allows the Company to incur additional indebtedness, irrespective of the fixed charge coverage ratio test, as long as the additional indebtedness is incurred under bank facilities (as defined in the Senior Notes indenture, and which includes the Credit Facilities) and generally, the amount thereof is not more than, subject to certain exceptions, the greater of (i) $675 million, and (ii) 35% of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets, or ACNTA, plus $150 million. ACNTA is defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes and is determined primarily by the value of discounted future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves plus the capitalized cost attributable to the Company’s unevaluated properties. As a result, the Company can currently incur up to $675 million under bank facilities (which include the Credit Facilities) without reference to limitations that would otherwise apply due to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.

The following table lists the covenant under Senior Notes and the Company’s position therewith as at March 31, 2018:

	Covenant as at	Position at
	March 31, 2018	March 31, 2018
Senior Notes - Incurrence Test	Minimum Ratio
Fixed charge coverage (1)	2.25x	2.05	x

(1) Fixed charge coverage is computed as the ratio of fixed charges (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, fixed charges generally includes interest expense plus paid or accrued dividends, if any) to trailing twelve month consolidated cash flow (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, consolidated cash flow includes the consolidated net loss and adds back provision for taxes, fixed charges, depletion, and various other non-recurring expenses and charges). For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2018, fixed charges were $38.7 million and consolidated cash flow was $79.3 million.

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ CAPITAL

Effective July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated its common shares on the basis of 1 new common share for every 5 old common shares outstanding. All figures in the condensed financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the 5:1 consolidation. The number of outstanding share options, Deferred Share Units, Restricted Awards and Performance Awards have also been adjusted proportionately. The corresponding exercise prices have increased by the same ratio. The conversion price and ratio on the Convertible Debentures have also been adjusted proportionately.

Subsequent to March 31, 2018, Bellatrix acquired and cancelled US$10 million of the Senior Notes, issuing 7,081,837 common shares of Bellatrix in exchange. The transaction closed on May 4, 2018.

At March 31, 2018, Bellatrix is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and 95,978,621 preferred shares. At March 31, 2018, no preferred shares have been issued. All shares issued are fully paid and have no par value.

8. REVENUE

Bellatrix sells its production pursuant to fixed and variable price contracts. The transaction price for variable priced contracts is based on the commodity price, adjusted for quality, location or other factors, whereby each component of the pricing formula can be either fixed or variable, depending on the contract terms. Under the contracts, the Company is required to deliver a fixed or variable volume of crude oil, natural gas, condensate and NGLs to the contract counterparty. Revenue is recognized when a unit of production is delivered to the contract counterparty. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the agreed transaction price.

The majority of crude oil and natural gas is sold under contracts of varying terms of up to one year. The majority of Bellatrix’s NGLs are sold pursuant to one multi-year contract. Revenues are typically collected on the 25th day of the month following

14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a. Overview

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (including foreign exchange risk, commodity price risk, and interest rate risk) from its use of financial instruments.

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.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board 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 adherence to market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 14

b. Capital Management

The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying petroleum and natural gas assets. The Company‘s capital structure includes shareholders’ equity, Credit Facilities, Senior Notes, Convertible Debentures, and working capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may from time to time issue common shares, senior unsecured notes, convertible debentures or other debt instruments, adjust its capital spending, and/or dispose of certain assets to manage current and forecasted debt levels. Bellatrix does not pay dividends.

Bellatrix remains highly focused on key business objectives of maintaining financial strength and liquidity, and optimizing capital investments in the current commodity price environment. Bellatrix expects to be able to fund its 2018 capital program by reinvesting cash flow, asset disposals and borrowings under its Credit Facilities. Bellatrix continually monitors its capital spending program in light of prevailing commodity prices and the United States/Canadian dollar exchange rate with the aim of ensuring the Company will be able to meet future anticipated obligations incurred from normal ongoing operations. Please refer to note 5 and ‘Liquidity Risk’ below for further discussion.

The Company monitors its capital structure based on the ratio of total net debt to annualized adjusted funds flow (defined below). This ratio is calculated as total net debt, defined as outstanding Credit Facilities, Convertible Debentures (liability component), Senior Notes, and plus or minus adjusted working capital (defined below), divided by adjusted funds flow (defined below) for the most recent calendar quarter, annualized (multiplied by four). The total net debt to annualized adjusted funds flow ratio may increase at certain times as a result of acquisitions, fluctuations in commodity prices, timing of capital expenditures and other factors. In order to facilitate the management of this ratio, the Company prepares capital expenditure budgets which are reviewed and updated as necessary depending on varying factors including current and forecast prices, successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The capital budgets are approved by the Board of Directors.

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 15

The Company’s capital structure and its calculation of the total net debt to adjusted funds flow ratio as defined by the Company is as follows:

Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow Ratio
	Three months ended March 31,
($000s, except where noted)	2018		2017
Shareholders’ equity	761,233		877,502
Credit Facilities	56,890		41,466
Adjusted working capital deficiency (1)	33,840		33,177
Subtotal	90,730		74,643
Senior Notes (mature on May 15, 2020) (2)	315,491		322,845
Net debt (1)	406,221		397,488
Convertible Debentures (liability component)	39,965		37,889
Total net debt (1) at period end	446,186		435,377
Debt to adjusted funds flow ratio (annualized) (3) (1)
Adjusted funds flow (4) (annualized)	58,680		59,564
Net debt (1) to periods adjusted funds flow ratio (annualized) (3)	6.9	x	6.7	x
Total net debt to periods adjusted funds flow ratio (annualized) (3)	7.6	x	7.3	x
Debt to adjusted funds flow ratio (trailing)(1)
Adjusted funds flow (trailing) (4)	58,017		42,932
Net debt (1) to adjusted funds flow ratio (1) (trailing) (5)	7.0	x	9.3	x
Total net debt (1)  to adjusted funds flow ratio (1) (trailing) (5)	7.7	x	10.1	x

(1)Net debt and total net debt as presented do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company’s calculation of total net debt excludes other deferred liabilities, deferred capital obligation, long-term risk management contract liabilities, decommissioning liabilities, and the deferred tax liability. Total net debt includes the adjusted working capital deficiency, amounts outstanding under Credit Facilities, Convertible Debentures (liability component), and Senior Notes. The adjusted working capital deficiency as presented does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company calculated adjusted working capital deficiency as net working capital deficiency excluding current risk management contract assets and liabilities, current portion of other deferred liabilities and the current portion of decommissioning liability. Net debt excludes the liability component of Convertible Debentures that is included in total net debt.

(2) For the three months ended March 31, 2018, Senior Notes includes an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $9.4 million (2017: $2.5 milliongain), and does not include an unrealized gain of $1.5 million (2017: $0.8 millionloss) on foreign exchange contracts.

(3)For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, net debt and total net debt to period’s adjusted funds flow ratio (annualized) is calculated based upon first quarter adjusted funds flow annualized. Adjusted funds flow for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $14.7 million (2017: $14.9 million).

(4) Adjusted funds flow as presented does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. Adjusted funds flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities, excluding decommissioning costs incurred and changes in non-cash working capital incurred.

(5) Trailing periods adjusted funds flow ratio annualized is based upon the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

c. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Bellatrix if a customer, or counterparty to a financial instrument, fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from Bellatrix’s trade receivables from joint venture partners, petroleum and natural gas marketers, and financial derivative counterparties.

A substantial portion of Bellatrix’s accounts receivable are with customers and joint interest partners in the petroleum and natural gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. Receivables from petroleum and natural gas marketers are normally collected on the 25th day of the month following production. Bellatrix currently sells substantially all of its production to ten primary purchasers under standard industry sale and payment terms. The most significant 60 day exposure to a single counterparty is approximately $11.3 million. Purchasers of Bellatrix’s natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids are also subject to a periodic internal credit reviews to minimize the risk of non-payment. Bellatrix closely monitors and reassesses the creditworthiness of its counterparties, including financial institutions. This has resulted in Bellatrix mitigating its exposures

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. 16

to certain counterparties by obtaining financial assurances, or reducing credit where it is deemed warranted and permitted under contractual terms.

As at March 31, 2018, accounts receivable was comprised of the following:

Aging ($000s)	Not past due (less than 90 days)		Past due (90 days or more)			Total
Joint venture and other trade accounts receivable	$	8,979	$	4,927		$	13,906
Revenue and other accruals	21,974		2,753			24,727
Less:  Allowance for doubtful accounts	—		(1,089		)	(1,089		)
Total accounts receivable	$	30,953	$	6,591		$	37,544

In order to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company conducts a qualitative analysis of each account comprising the individual balances within its accounts receivable, including the counterparty’s identity, customary pay practices, and the terms of the contract under which the obligation arose. The Company considers the expected value at risk, by ageing category, and establishes a probability-based provision for any expected losses at the time of recognition. Typically, this review results in a provision of zero. Subsequently, if new information comes to light which challenges historical assertions from initial recognition, the assumptions are changed to accommodate this new information. Based on the review of the individual balances within accounts receivable, at March 31, 2018, and specifically the balances greater than 90 days, a provision of $1.1 million was recorded.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable and derivative assets represent the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

d. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Bellatrix will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Bellatrix actively manages its liquidity through daily and longer-term cash, debt and equity management strategies. Such strategies encompass, among other factors: having adequate sources of financing available through its Credit Facilities, estimating future cash generated from operations based on reasonable production and pricing assumptions, analysis of economic risk management opportunities, and maintaining sufficient cash flows for compliance with the Senior Debt Covenant described in note 5 and the ability to repay the Credit Facilities.

The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets which are regularly monitored and updated as necessary. To facilitate the capital expenditure program, the Company has established Credit Facilities, as outlined in note 5, which are reviewed semi-annually by the lenders thereunder. The borrowing base under the Credit Facilities was $120 million at March 31, 2018. Bellatrix also has Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures outstanding with fixed interest rates, as outlined in note 5, which mature on May 15, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company also mitigates liquidity risk by maintaining an insurance program to minimize exposure to insurable losses.

The following are the contractual maturities of liabilities as at March 31, 2018:

Liabilities ($000s)	Total		< 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 years
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	74,907	$	74,907	$	—	$	—	$	—

(1)Principal amount of the instruments

e. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates will affect the Company’s net profit or the value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

f. Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that fluctuations in the Canadian/United States dollar foreign exchange rate may impact the Company’s cash flows and net profit. The Company’s realized commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas are based upon United States dollar denominated commodity prices. Fluctuations in the Canadian/United States dollar foreign exchange rate may thus impact commodity prices received by the Company. In addition, the Company has United States dollar denominated Senior Notes and related interest obligations of which future cash payments are directly impacted by the exchange rate in effect on the payment date.

The Company may utilize foreign exchange derivative contracts to manage foreign exchange risk in order to maintain cash flow stability. Foreign exchange derivative transactions are in accordance with the risk management policy that has been approved by the Board of Directors. The aggregate amount hedged under all foreign exchange derivative contracts is limited to the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes or 60% of the Company’s United States dollar revenues over the previous three months. Additionally, the term of foreign exchange contracts is limited to the remaining term of the related Senior Notes or three years. See note 12 for the foreign exchange risk management contacts that the Company has entered into at March 31, 2018.

g. Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum and natural gas are impacted by not only the relationship between the Canadian and United States dollar, as outlined above, but also global economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand.

The Company utilizes both financial derivatives and physical delivery sales contracts to manage commodity price risks. All such transactions are conducted in accordance with the commodity price risk management policy that has been approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company’s formal commodity price risk management policy permits management to use specified price risk management strategies including fixed price contracts, costless collars and the purchase of floor price options, other derivative financial instruments, and physical delivery sales contracts to reduce the impact of price volatility and ensure minimum prices for a maximum of 36 months beyond the current date. The program is designed to provide price protection on a portion of the Company’s future production in the event of adverse commodity price movement, while retaining significant exposure to upside price movements. By doing this, the Company seeks to provide a measure of stability to cash flows from operating activities, as well as, to ensure Bellatrix realizes positive economic returns from its capital developments and acquisition activities. The agreement governing the Credit Facilities contains limits on the volumes the Company may hedge based on its trailing quarter sales volumes.

As at March 31, 2018, the Company has entered into commodity price risk management arrangements as follows:

h. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on its Credit Facilities which bear a floating rate of interest. As at March 31, 2018, if interest rates had been 1% lower with all other variables held constant, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 would have been approximately $0.6 million lower, due to lower interest expense. An equal and opposite impact would have occurred to net loss had interest rates been 1% higher.

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and finance lease obligation approximate their carrying amounts due to their short terms to maturity.

The Company enters into risk management contracts under master netting arrangements. Under these arrangements, the amounts owed by each counterparty for commodity or foreign exchange contracts outstanding in the same currency or commodity are aggregated into a single net amount receivable or payable. If a default occurs, the net amount subject to a master netting arrangement is receivable or payable for settlement purposes. The carrying amounts of commodity and foreign exchange contracts held under master netting arrangements are recorded on a net basis. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the impact of netting gross amounts is not material.

The risk management assets and liabilities at March 31, 2018 include both commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments 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. The fair value of commodity contracts is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted price and published forward price curves as at the balance sheet date, using the remaining contracted petroleum and natural gas volumes. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is determined based on the difference between the contracted forward rate and current forward rates, using the remaining settlement amount. The risk management contracts are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating market rate and the credit and market premiums therein are indicative of current rates; accordingly the fair market value approximates the carrying value. The fair value of the Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures at March 31, 2018 are $264.5 millionand $42.3 million, respectively (December 31, 2017 - $299.3 million and $46.0 million, respectively). The fair values of all loans and borrowings are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
