STRUCTURE OF THE BUSINESS
The principal undertakings of Crescent Point Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Crescent Point”) are to carry on the business of acquiring, developing and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets related thereto through a general partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries.
Crescent Point is the ultimate parent company and is amalgamated in Alberta, Canada under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. The address of the principal place of business is 2000, 585 - 8th Ave S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 1G1.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 6, 2015.
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and have been prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain information and disclosures included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements are condensed herein or are disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of May 6, 2015, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements.
The Company’s presentation currency is Canadian dollars and all amounts reported are Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. References to “US$” are to United States dollars.

3.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In future accounting periods, the Company will adopt the following IFRS:

Bank Credit Facilities
The Company has a syndicated unsecured credit facility with sixteen banks and an operating credit facility with one Canadian chartered bank, for a total amount available under the combined facilities of $3.6 billion. The syndicated unsecured credit facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility by up to $500.0 million.
The credit facilities bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus a margin based on a sliding scale ratio of the Company's senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depletion, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for certain non-cash items ("EBITDA"). The syndicated unsecured credit facility constitutes a revolving credit facility for a three year term which is extendible annually; the current maturity date is June 8, 2018. The operating credit facility constitutes a revolving facility for a three year term which is extendible annually; the current maturity date is June 8, 2018. The combined credit facilities and senior guaranteed notes have covenants which restrict the Company's ratio of senior debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 3.5:1.0, the ratio of total debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 4:0:1.0 and the ratio of senior debt to capital, adjusted for certain non-cash items, to a maximum of 0.55:1.0. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2015.
The Company had letters of credit in the amount of $0.5 million outstanding at March 31, 2015.
The Company manages its credit facilities through a combination of bankers' acceptance loans and interest rate swaps.

Concurrent with the issuance of US$1.23 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into cross currency interest rate swaps (''CCIRS'') with a syndicate of financial institutions. To manage the Company's foreign exchange risk, the CCIRS fix the US dollar amount of the notes for purposes of interest and principal repayments at a notional amount of $1.25 billion. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a cross currency principal swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.

(1)
Working capital deficiency is calculated as accounts payable and accrued liabilities plus dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable.
Crescent Point's objective for managing capital is to maintain a strong balance sheet and capital base to provide financial flexibility, stability to dividends and to position the Company for future development of the business. Ultimately, Crescent Point strives to maximize long-term stakeholder value by ensuring the Company has the financing capacity to fund projects that are expected to add value to stakeholders and distribute any excess cash that is not required for financing projects.
Crescent Point manages and monitors its capital structure and short-term financing requirements using a non-GAAP measure, the ratio of net debt to funds flow from operations. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt plus accounts payable and accrued liabilities and dividends payable, less cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits and long-term investments, excluding the equity settled component of dividends payable and unrealized foreign exchange on translation of US dollar senior guaranteed notes. Funds flow from operations is calculated as cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, transaction costs and decommissioning expenditures. Crescent Point's long-term objective is to maintain a net debt to funds flow from operations ratio of approximately 1.0 times. This metric is used to measure the Company's overall debt position and measure the strength of the Company's balance sheet. Crescent Point monitors this ratio and uses this as a key measure in making decisions regarding financing, capital spending and dividend levels. The Company's net debt to funds flow from operations ratio at March 31, 2015 was 1.6 times (December 31, 2014 - 1.3 times). The funds flow from operations only reflects funds flow from operations generated on acquired properties since the closing date of the acquisitions.
Crescent Point strives to provide stability to its dividends over time by managing risks associated with the oil and gas industry. To accomplish this, the Company maintains a conservative balance sheet with significant unutilized lines of credit, manages its exposure to fluctuating interest rates and foreign exchange rates on its long-term debt, and actively hedges commodity prices using a 3½ year risk management program by hedging up to 65 percent, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, of after royalty volumes using a portfolio of swaps, collars and put option instruments and up to 35 percent of after royalty volumes using a combination of financial derivatives and fixed differential physical contracts to manage price differentials.
Crescent Point is subject to certain financial covenants on its credit facility and senior guaranteed notes agreements and is in compliance with all financial covenants as at March 31, 2015.

INCOME TAXES
In early 2014, the Company received a proposal letter from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) in 2014 disallowing $122.8 million of tax pools and $12.6 million of investment tax credits with respect to the 2008 taxation year. The Company made representations to the CRA on the matter, with a view that the risk of losing these tax attributes was remote. However, the CRA has recently informed management that a notice of reassessment will be issued to that respect. The Company also received a notice of reassessment disallowing $30.1 million of tax pools in respect to the 2010 tax year. The Company is disputing both matters and management believes that it will be successful in defending its positions. Therefore, no provision for the potential income tax liability was recorded at March 31, 2015.
21.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Share Bonus Plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Bonus Plan pursuant to which the Company may grant restricted shares to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The restricted shares vest on terms up to three years from the grant date as determined by the Board of Directors.
Deferred Share Unit Plan
The Company has a DSU plan for directors. Each DSU vests on the date of the grant, however, the settlement of the DSU occurs following a change of control or when the individual ceases to be a director of the Company. Deferred Share Units are settled in cash based on the prevailing Crescent Point share price.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, long-term investments, reclamation fund, derivative assets and liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable and long-term debt.
Crescent Point's derivative assets and liabilities are transacted in active markets. Crescent Point's long-term investments are transacted in active and non-active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following fair value hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:
•
Level 1 - Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
•
Level 2 - Values are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
•
Level 3 - Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data.
Accordingly, Crescent Point's derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2. Long-term investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the valuation methods and inputs used and whether the applicable company is publicly traded or private. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy.
Crescent Point's valuation of investments in private companies is based primarily on recent trading activity in the relevant company's common shares. Crescent Point validates these valuations using a variety of peer comparison metrics and industry data. The Company's finance department is responsible for performing the valuation of financial instruments, including the calculation of Level 3 fair values. Refer to Note 5 for changes in the Company's Level 3 investments.
Discussions of the fair values and risks associated with financial assets and liabilities, as well as summarized information related to derivative positions are detailed below:
a) Carrying Amount and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, reclamation fund, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and dividends payable approximate their carrying amount due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of the amounts drawn on bank credit facilities is equal to its carrying amount as the facility bears interest at floating rates and credit spreads within the facility are indicative of market rates. These financial instruments are classified as financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost and are reported at amortized cost.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Company's remaining financial assets and liabilities as compared to their respective fair values as of March 31, 2015:

Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset if the Company has the legal right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or settle the asset and liability simultaneously. The Company offsets derivative assets and liabilities when the counterparty, commodity, currency and timing of settlement are the same. The following table summarizes the gross asset and liability positions of the Company's financial derivatives by contract that are offset on the balance sheet as at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Risks Associated with Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company is exposed to financial risks from its financial assets and liabilities. The financial risks include market risk relating to commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates as well as credit and liquidity risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a derivative will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk as discussed below.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk on crude oil and natural gas revenues as well as power on electricity consumption. As a means to mitigate the exposure to commodity price volatility, the Company has entered into various derivative agreements and physical contracts. The use of derivative instruments is governed under formal policies and is subject to limits established by the Board of Directors.
Crude oil - To partially mitigate exposure to crude oil commodity price risk, the Company enters into option contracts and swaps, which manage the Cdn$ WTI price fluctuations. The Company also enters physical delivery and derivative WTI price differential contracts which manage the spread between US$ WTI and various stream prices. The Company manages physical delivery contracts on a month-to-month spot and on a term contract basis. As at March 31, 2015, Crescent Point had committed, on a term contract basis, to deliver an average of approximately 6,700 bbl/d of crude oil from April 2015 to December 2015 and 2,500 bbl/d of crude oil from January 2016 to December 2019.
Natural gas - To partially mitigate exposure to natural gas commodity price risk, the Company enters into AECO natural gas swaps, which manage the AECO natural gas price fluctuations.
Power - To partially mitigate exposure to electricity price changes, the Company may enter into swaps or fixed price physical delivery contracts which fix the power price.
The following table summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of the Company's derivative positions as at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 to fluctuations in commodity prices or differentials, with all other variables held constant. When assessing the potential impact of these commodity price or differential changes, the Company believes a 10 percent volatility is a reasonable measure. Fluctuations in commodity prices or differentials potentially would have resulted in unrealized gains (losses) impacting income before tax as follows:

Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on bank credit facilities to the extent of changes in the prime interest rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, a one percent increase or decrease in the interest rate on floating rate debt would have amounted to a $4.2 million impact on income before tax.

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CORP.
16

The Company partially mitigates its exposure to interest rate changes by entering into interest rate swap transactions. The following sensitivities show the resulting unrealized gains (losses) and the impact on income before tax of the respective changes in the applicable forward interest rates as at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 with all other variables held constant:

The impact on income before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was nominal.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of the Company's financial assets or liabilities. As the Company operates in Canada and the U.S., fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US/Canadian dollars can have a significant effect on reported results. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to its US dollar denominated senior guaranteed notes, investment in U.S. subsidiaries and in relation to its crude oil sales.
Concurrent with the issuance of US$1.23 billion senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered into CCIRS with a syndicate of financial institutions. Under the terms of the CCIRS, the US dollar amount of the notes was fixed for purposes of interest and principal repayments at a notional amount of $1.25 billion. Concurrent with the issuance of US$30.0 million senior guaranteed notes, the Company entered a cross currency principal swap which fixed the principal repayment at a notional amount of $32.2 million.
The Company can partially mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange rate changes by entering into US dollar swaps. To partially mitigate the foreign exchange risk relating to crude oil sales, the Company has fixed crude oil contracts to settle in Cdn$ WTI.
The following sensitivities show the resulting unrealized gains (losses) and the impact on income before tax of the respective changes in the period end and applicable forward foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 with all other variables held constant:

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. A substantial portion of the Company's accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company monitors the creditworthiness and concentration of credit with customers of its physical oil and gas sales. The Company is authorized to transact derivative contracts with counterparties rated A (or equivalent) or better, based on the lowest rating of the three ratings providers. Should one of the Company's financial counterparties be downgraded below the A rating limit, the Chief Financial Officer will advise the Audit Committee and provide recommendations to minimize the Company's credit risk to that counterparty. The maximum credit exposure associated with accounts receivable is the total carrying amount and the maximum exposure associated with the derivative instruments approximates their fair value.
To further mitigate credit risk associated with its physical sales portfolio, Crescent Point has secured credit insurance from a global credit insurance provider. This policy provides credit coverage for approximately 35 percent of the Company's physical sales portfolio. Crescent Point believes this insurance policy is a prudent component of its formal credit policies and procedures.
Approximately 3 percent of the Company's accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2015 is outstanding for more than 90 days and the Company considers the entire balance to be collectible.

(3)
These amounts include interest based on debt outstanding and interest rates effective as at March 31, 2015.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages its liquidity risk through cash and debt management. As disclosed in Note 16, Crescent Point's long-term objective is to maintain a net debt to funds flow from operations ratio of approximately 1.0 times.
In managing liquidity risk, the Company has access to a wide range of funding at competitive rates through capital markets and banks. At March 31, 2015, the Company had available unused borrowing capacity on bank credit facilities of approximately $1.72 billion, including $0.5 million letters of credit drawn on the facility. Crescent Point believes it has sufficient funding to meet its foreseeable spending requirements.
Included in the Company's bank credit facilities balance of $1.9 billion at March 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $1.3 billion) are obligations of $1.2 billion (December 31, 2014 - $1.2 billion) of bankers' acceptances and obligations of $672.7 million (December 31, 2014 - $90.8 million) for borrowings under the operating and syndicated prime loans, partially offset by prepaid credit facility renewal fees of $5.3 million (December 31, 2014 - $2.6 million) and prepaid interest on bankers' acceptances of $1.9 million (December 31, 2014 - $2.1 million). These amounts are fully supported and management expects that they will continue to be supported by revolving credit facilities that have no repayment requirements until maturity, other than interest.
c)
Derivative Contracts
The Company enters into fixed price oil, gas, power, foreign currency, interest rate, cross currency interest rate, cross currency principal and crude oil differential contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil, gas, power, foreign exchange and interest on debt.
