Approval by and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The decision of the boards of directors of each of Camflo and Spearhead to approve the Amalgamation for submission to the Shareholders was reached after consideration of many factors, including principally the following:

1.

In the board of directors' view, the Amalgamation should benefit the Shareholders generally by providing them a more efficient and cost effective management operation;

2.

In the board of directors' view, the Amalgamation would provide the Shareholders with greater potential value for their shareholding.


The boards of directors of each of Camflo and Spearhead have unanimously concluded that the Amalgamation is in the best interests of the Shareholders and is fair and reasonable to all Shareholders and recommends that all Shareholders vote in favor of the Amalgamation Resolution thereby approving the Amalgamation.  Implementation of the Amalgamation is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.  See "Special Meeting Business - Amalgamation - Conditions and Termination".

Conditions to Amalgamation Becoming Effective

Dissenting Shareholders

The Amalgamation provides that, if the Amalgamation Resolution is approved, each Shareholder will have the right to dissent in respect of the Amalgamation Resolution and to be paid the fair value of that Shareholder's Shares if either Camflo or Spearhead has received from such Shareholder a written objection to the Amalgamation Resolution at or before the Meeting in accordance with section 191 of the ABCA. A Dissenting Shareholder may only exercise his right to dissent with respect to all of the Shares held by him registered in the name of the Dissenting Shareholder.  The giving of a written objection does not deprive a Shareholder of his or her right to vote at the Meeting on the Amalgamation Resolution approving the Amalgamation however in order to validly dissent a Dissenting Shareholder must not vote in favour of the Amalgamation, must provide to either Camflo or Spearhead a written objection to the Amalgamation and must otherwise comply with the dissent procedures set out in this Information Circular.  See "Special Meeting Business - Rights of Dissenting Shareholders".

Risk Factors

The risks factors associated with the principal business of the Amalgamation are discussed in depth under "Information Concerning the Amalgamated Entity" set out in this Information Circular.  Briefly, these include the highly speculative nature of the oil and gas industry, liabilities and risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations, uncertainties associated with estimating reserves; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, operational risks in development, exploration and production.  The Amalgamated Entity will depend on debt or equity financing for carrying out its activities, and may never become profitable.  Readers should carefully consider all such risks set out in the discussion set forth in this Information Circular.

INFORMATION FOR UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

This Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The financial statements and the pro forma financial statements included or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and thus are not comparable in all respects to financial statements of United States companies.  Moreover, there are significant differences in the United States and Canadian disclosure standards relating to oil and gas companies.

All dollar amounts set forth in this Information Circular are expressed in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated.  The following table sets forth (i) the rates of exchange for Canadian dollars, expressed in United States dollars, in effect at the end of each of the periods indicated; (ii) the average of exchange rates in effect on the last day of each month during such periods; and (iii) the high and low exchange rates during each such periods, in each case based on the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Spearhead and Camflo are, and will be, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, that most of the officers and directors of Spearhead, Camflo and the Amalgamated Entity are or will be residents of countries other than the United States, that the experts named in this Information Circular are residents of countries other than the United States, and that a majority of the assets of Spearhead, Camflo, the Amalgamated Entity and such persons are or will be located outside of the United States.

United States Shareholders should be aware that the Amalgamation and the holding of Amalco Shares may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States.  The tax consequences for Shareholders who are subject to United States federal income taxation are not described in this Information Circular, and each such person is urged to consult with its own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to it of the Amalgamation and the holding of Amalco Shares.

The Amalco Shares issuable in the Amalgamation are not being registered or qualified for distribution under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States.  The Spearhead Transmittal Letter and the Camflo Transmittal Letter pursuant to which Shareholders may exchange certificates for their Spearhead Shares or Camflo Shares, respectively, for Amalco Shares (see "Special Meeting Business - Procedure for Exchange of Share Certificates") will contain a representation as to whether the tendering Shareholder is in the United States or a U.S. Person.  Each Shareholder of Spearhead or Camflo who is or appears to be in the United States or a U.S. Person may not receive Amalco Shares, unless such Shareholder establishes to the satisfaction of the Amalgamated Entity, whose determination shall be final and binding, that the delivery of Amalco Shares to such Shareholder is lawful and does not subject the Amalgamated Entity to any registration, reporting or other similar requirement.  All Amalco Shares that may not be delivered to Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing will be issued and delivered to Computershare for sale by it on behalf of such Shareholders in the manner described below.

Not less frequently than once a week following the Effective Date, Amalco Shares which Computershare is required to sell in accordance with the preceding paragraph will be pooled and sold as soon as practicable in one or more transactions in the open market, through the facilities of the Exchange or otherwise. Thereafter, Computershare will promptly forward to each person whose Amalco Shares have been sold as a part of such pool a cheque in Canadian dollars in an amount equal to such person's pro rata interest in the proceeds of sale of all Amalco Shares in such pool so sold by Computershare (net of all applicable commissions in respect of such sales and any applicable withholding taxes).  In effecting the sale of any Amalco Shares, Computershare will exercise its sole judgment as to the timing and manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price.  None of the Amalgamated Entity, Spearhead, Camflo or Computershare will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Amalco Shares relating to the manner or timing of such sales, the prices at which Amalco Shares are sold, or otherwise.  The sale price of Amalco Shares sold on behalf of such persons will fluctuate with the market price of the Amalco Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any such sale.  Spearhead or Camflo Shareholders who are resident in the United States, and who desire certainty with respect to the amount to be received by them in connection with the Amalgamation, may wish to consult their advisors regarding a sale of their Spearhead Shares or Camflo Shares in the open market prior to the Effective Date.







GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular and any material attached hereto is provided in connection with the solicitation by the managements of each of Camflo and Spearhead (collectively the "Corporations" and individually a "Corporation") of proxies for use at the Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Camflo and the Special Meeting of the Shareholders of Spearhead (collectively the "Meetings" and individually a "Meeting) to be held at the offices of Lang Michener LLP, Suite 1500, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7 on Thursday, September 22, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) as to Camflo and at the offices of Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, Suite 1400, 700 - 2 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta  T2P 4V5 on Thursday, September 22, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. (Calgary time) as to Spearhead respectively, and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the Notices of Meeting accompanying this Information Circular.

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporations.  In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Shares held of record by such persons and the Corporations may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in so doing.  All costs of this solicitation will be borne by the Corporations.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying forms of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Corporations.  A shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting has the right to appoint a person or company, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder's behalf at the Meeting other than either the persons or company designated in the accompanying form of proxy, and may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

A Proxy will not be valid unless the completed, signed and dated form of proxy is delivered to the office of Computershare by fax at 866-249-7775, by mail or by hand at 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by either executing a Proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by depositing the Proxy bearing a later date with Computershare at its address as detailed above or at the head office of Camflo at Suite 1205 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC  V6C 1H2 (in respect of Camflo) or at the head office of Spearhead at Suite 275, 999 - 8 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta  T2R 1J5 (in respect of Spearhead), at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meetings or, if the Meetings are adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.  In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting the Shareholder's Shares.  A revocation of a Proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Voting by Proxyholder

On a poll the nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Shares represented thereby in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for.  If the Shareholder has specified a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.  The Proxy will confer discretionary authority on the nominees named therein with respect to:

(a)

each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified,

(b)

any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein, and

(c)

any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

As at the date hereof, management of both Camflo and Spearhead know of no amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meetings.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote Shares represented by the Proxy at their own discretion for the approval of such matter.

Proxy Voting Options

Shareholders may wish to vote by Proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person.  Registered shareholders may vote by proxy by mail or fax.

Submitting a Proxy by mail or fax are the only methods by which a shareholder may appoint a person as proxy other than a director or officer of the Corporations named on the form of proxy.

Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy must complete, date and sign the form of proxy.  It must then be returned to the Corporations' transfer agent, Computershare by fax at 866-249-7775, by mail or by hand at 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, in respect of Camflo and Spearhead, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meetings or any adjournment thereof.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders of the Corporations, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name.  Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only Proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporations as the registered holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.  If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Corporations.  Such Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker.  In the United States, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depositary Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).  Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings.  Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting.  The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered Shareholders by the Corporations.  However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communication Services ("ADP") in the United States and in Canada.  ADP typically mails voting instruction forms ("VIFs") to the Beneficial Shareholders and requests the Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs to ADP.  ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting.  A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a VIF cannot use that proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting.  The VIF must be returned to ADP well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted at the Meeting.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meetings for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Shares in that capacity.  Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting of the Corporation in which they hold Shares and indirectly vote their Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of such Meetings.

Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders may request in writing that their broker send to them a legal proxy which would enable them to attend at the Meeting of the Corporation in which they hold Shares and vote their Shares.

Voting Securities and Principal Shareholders of Voting Securities

The Board of Directors of the respective Corporations have fixed August 23, 2004 as the Record Date for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting.  Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Shares voted at the Meeting, except to the extent that: (i) such person transfers his or her Shares after the Record Date; and (ii) the transferee of those Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes his or her ownership to the Shares; and makes a demand to Computershare, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that his or her name be included on the Shareholders' list.

As of August 23, 2004, Camflo had outstanding 26,394,335 paid and non-assessable Camflo Shares without par value, each carrying the right to one vote.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of Camflo, only the following persons or corporations beneficially own, directly or indirectly or exercise control or direction over, Camflo Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Camflo Shares:

The above information was supplied by Spearhead and/or by Computershare.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A minimum of two-thirds of the votes cast at the Meetings is required to pass the Amalgamation Resolution and a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolution to approve the Amalco Stock Option Plan.

SPECIAL MEETING BUSINESS

Amalgamation

Summary of the Transaction

At the Meetings, the Shareholders of both of the Corporations will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass a resolution authorizing the Amalgamation of Camflo and Spearhead pursuant to Section 181 of the ABCA.  Pursuant to a letter of intent dated June 7, 2004 and the Amalgamation Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Schedule "C" to this Information Circular, the Corporations have agreed, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, to amalgamate on the basis that Camflo Shareholders would receive three (3) shares of the newly formed company (defined as the "Amalgamated Entity") for every four (4) Camflo Shares held while Spearhead Shareholders would receive one (1) share of the Amalgamated Entity for every one (1) Spearhead Share held.  

It is proposed that the board of directors of Amalgamated Entity will be comprised of 5 directors, 3 of whom are Camflo directors and 2 of whom are Spearhead directors.

On the Effective Date:

(c)

the Amalgamated Entity shall continue to be liable for the obligations of each of Spearhead and Camflo;

(d)

the Articles of Amalgamation attached to this Information Circular as Schedule "D" shall be the articles of Amalgamated Entity;

(e)

the By-laws attached to this Information Circular as Schedule "E" shall be the By-laws of the Amalgamated Entity;

(e)

the share certificates evidencing Spearhead Shares shall cease to represent any claim upon or interest in Spearhead or Amalgamated Entity, but rather shall represent only the right of the holder of such Spearhead Shares to receive a certificate representing Amalgamated Entity Common Shares in denominations as determined in accordance with the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement and the Amalgamation; and

(f)

the share certificates evidencing Camflo Shares shall cease to represent any claim upon or interest in Camflo or Amalgamated Entity, but rather shall represent only the right of the holder of such Camflo Shares to receive a certificate representing Amalgamated Entity Common Shares in denominations as determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Amalgamation.

Conditions and Termination

Conditions of Completion

The following conditions are conditions to the completion of the Amalgamation and are set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement:

the Amalgamation with or without amendment, shall have been approved by Shareholders of the Corporations at the Meetings, in accordance with the ABCA and shall have otherwise been approved by the requisite majority of persons entitled or required to vote thereon as determined by the ABCA and the policies of the Exchange;

(b)

the holders of no more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Spearhead Shares shall have exercised rights of dissent in respect of the Amalgamation other than in circumstances where either Camflo or Spearhead elects to fund the repurchase of the Spearhead Shares with respect to which rights of dissent have been exercised in accordance with the provisions of applicable law;

(c)

the holders of no more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Camflo Shares shall have exercised rights of dissent in respect of the Amalgamation other than in circumstances where either Camflo or Spearhead elects to fund the repurchase of the Camflo Shares with respect to which rights of dissent have been exercised in accordance with the provisions of applicable law;

(d)

there shall not be in force any order or decree restraining or enjoining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement;

(e)

all other consents, orders, regulations and approvals, including regulatory and judicial approvals and orders required, necessary or desirable for the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement shall have been obtained or received from the persons, authorities or bodies having jurisdiction in the circumstances, to include but not be limited to the approval of the Exchange;

(f)

none of the consents, orders, regulations or approvals contemplated in the Amalgamation Agreement shall contain terms or conditions or require undertakings or security considered unsatisfactory or unacceptable by any of the parties hereto;

(g)

the Amalgamation Agreement shall not have been terminated under Article 6;

(h)

Camflo shall have completed the acquisition of the Joffre Property on terms acceptable to both parties and shall otherwise have advanced sufficient monies to Spearhead by way of loan, on terms agreeable to both parties, so as to enable the amount of indebtedness owing by Spearhead to Paramount to be reduced by $5,000,000; and

(i)

the indebtedness owing by Spearhead to Paramount shall have been reduced by $5,000,000 and Paramount shall have agreed to defer repayment of the balance of such indebtedness for a period and on terms acceptable to both parties.

Financing

On July 16, 2004 Camflo completed a private placement by way of the issuance of a total of 9,000,000 Camflo Shares at a price of $0.50 per share and a further 3,185,273 "flow through" common shares at a price of $0.55 per share for total gross proceeds of $6,251,900.15.  The private placement was effected through Dominick and Dominick Securities Inc. (the "Agent") under the terms of an agency agreement between Camflo and the Agent.  The Agent received a cash commission equal to 7% of the proceeds of the private placement ($437,633) and brokers warrants entitling the holder thereof to acquire such number of common shares at a price of $0.50 per share for a term of 18 months as is equal to 10% of the number of shares issued in the private placement (1,218,527). In connection with the private placement, certain principals of Camflo sold 2,000,000 Camflo Shares at $0.50 per Camflo Share to an investor as a prearranged trade in order to facilitate the purchaser's desire to acquire free trading shares. The proceeds from the sale, by such principals, were invested in the private placement by way of a subscription for 2,000,000 Camflo Shares at $0.50 per Camflo Share.  Proceeds of the private placement were used to fund the purchase from Spearhead of its interest in the Joffre Property, to provide $1,500,000 to Spearhead on account of outstanding joint venture obligations and approved authorizations for expenditures, and for working capital.

Acquisition of Joffre Property

Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") dated July 7, 2004, Camflo purchased Spearhead's 32% working interest in the Joffre Property.  Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement Camflo paid a purchase price of $3,500,000.  Closing of the acquisition of the Joffre Property occurred concurrently with the closing of the private placement.

Termination

The Amalgamation Agreement terminates upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the parties to the Amalgamation Agreement agree in writing to terminate the Amalgamation Agreement; (ii) if the Certificate of Amalgamation giving effect to the Amalgamation has not been obtained from the Registrar on or before October 31, 2004; (iii) any of the conditions to be satisfied by each of Camflo and Spearhead under the Amalgamation Agreement have not been satisified within the time provided and no waiver is obtained; and (iv) the board of directors of each of Camflo and Spearhead fail to recommend, or withdraw in a manner adverse to Camflo or Spearhead, their recommendation, to Shareholders to approve the Amalgamation.

In the event that the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions contained therein, all expenses and liabilities related to the transactions contemplated by the Amalgamation Agreement are to be shared equally between Spearhead and Camflo.  In the event that the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated by Spearhead pursuant to the provisions contained therein, Camflo shall pay to Spearhead the sum of $750,000.  In the event that the Amalgamation Agreement is terminated by Camflo pursuant to the provisions contained therein, Spearhead shall pay to Camflo the sum of $750,000.

Appointment of Directors

It is proposed that, upon completion of the Amalgamation, Thomas Doyle, Greg Burnett, Jack McManus, Doug Street and Brian Murray will be appointed to the board of directors of the Amalgamated Entity.

Shareholder Support Agreements

As a condition to the completion of the Private Placement the Agent required that each of Camflo and Spearhead obtain agreements from Shareholders holding at least 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of each Corporation confirming that such Shareholders will vote their shares in favour of the Amalgamation.  In this regard, both Camflo and Spearhead have secured agreements from Shareholders holding in excess of 50% of their respective issued and outstanding share capital.

Distribution of Shares

Subsequent to the mailing of this Information Circular, Camflo Shareholders will be mailed the Camflo Transmittal Letter and Spearhead Shareholders will be mailed the Spearhead Transmittal Letter to be completed and returned with the certificates for their Camflo Shares and Spearhead Shares, respectively, in order to obtain the certificates for the Amalco Shares of the Amalgamated Entity to which they are entitled. See "Procedure for Election and Exchange of Common Share Certificates".

Shareholder Approval Required

In order to become effective the Amalgamation must be approved by the affirmative votes of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders of the Corporations at each Meeting. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the management designees set out in the form of proxy, if named as proxyholders, intend to vote in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution.

The form of Amalgamation Resolution to be considered is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.

2.

The Amalgamation of Camflo and Spearhead on the basis that each four common shares of Camflo shall be converted into three common shares of the Amalgamated Entity (the "Amalgamated Entity") and each one common share of Spearhead shall be converted into one common share of the Amalgamated Entity such that the Amalgamated Entity shall have 40,327,856 common shares issued and outstanding following the Amalgamation, subject to adjustments, all upon terms and conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement is hereby approved;

3.

Pursuant to the Amalgamation, the Camflo Properties and the Spearhead Properties will be assumed by the Amalgamated Entity;

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The board of directors of each of Camflo and Spearhead recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions approving the Amalgamation.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

The following description of the right of dissent and appraisal to which registered Shareholders are entitled is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a registered Shareholder of either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares who seeks payment of the fair value of such Shareholder's Shares (referred to herein as a Dissenting Shareholder) and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of Section 191 of the ABCA which is attached to this Information Circular as Schedule "E". A Dissenting Shareholder who intends to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of that Section. Failure to strictly comply with the provisions of that Section and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights thereunder.

Under the ABCA, Dissenting Shareholders are entitled, in addition to any other right such holder may have, to dissent and to be paid by the Amalgamated Entity the fair value of either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares held by such holder in respect of which such holder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the last business day before the day on which the resolution from which such holder dissents was adopted. A Dissenting Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all of the Shares held by such holder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Shareholder's name. Only Dissenting Shareholders may dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent, should be aware that they may only do so through the registered owner of such securities. A registered holder, such as a broker, who holds either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares as nominee for beneficial holders, some of whom wish to dissent, must exercise dissent rights on behalf of such beneficial owners with respect to either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares held for such beneficial owners. In such case, the demand for dissent should set forth the number of either Camflo Shares or Spearhead Shares covered by it.

A Dissenting Shareholder must send a written objection to the Amalgamation Resolution, which written objection must be received in respect of Camflo, by the President at 1205, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C. B6C 1H2, or in respect of Spearhead, by the President at 275, 999 – 8th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2R 1J5 at or before the relevant Meeting or, if either Camflo or Spearhead did not send a notice to the Shareholders of the purpose of the Meetings, or of the holder's right of dissent, within a reasonable time after the Shareholder learns that the Amalgamation Resolution has been adopted and of such holder's right to dissent.

A Dissenting Shareholder may not exercise the right of dissent in respect of only a portion of such holder's Shares, but may dissent only with respect to all of the Shares held by the holder. A Dissenting Shareholder wishing to exercise the right to dissent with respect to such holder's Shares shall not vote such Shares at the Camflo Meeting or the Spearhead Meeting, either by the submission of a proxy or by personally voting, in favour of the Amalgamation Resolution, as the case may be.

An application may be made to the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta (the "Court") by the Amalgamated Entity or by a Dissenting Shareholder after the adoption of the Amalgamation Resolution to fix the fair value of such holder's Shares. If such an application to the Court is made by the Amalgamated Entity or a Dissenting Shareholder, the Amalgamated Entity must, unless the Court otherwise orders, send to each Dissenting Shareholder a written offer to pay such Dissenting Shareholders an amount considered by the Amalgamated Entity's Board of Directors to be the fair value of the Shares. The offer, unless the Court otherwise orders, will be sent to each Dissenting Shareholder at least 10 days before the date on which the application is returnable, if the Amalgamated Entity is the applicant, or within 10 days after the Amalgamated Entity is served with notice of the application, if a Dissenting Shareholder is the applicant. The offer will be made on the same terms to each Dissenting Shareholder, and will he accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined.

A Dissenting Shareholder may make an agreement with the Amalgamated Entity for the purchase of such holder's Shares in the amount of the offer made by the Amalgamated Entity (or otherwise) at any time before the Court pronounces an order fixing the fair value of the Shares.

A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in respect of an application and, except in special circumstances, will not be required to pay the costs of the application or appraisal. On the application, the Court will make an order fixing the fair value of either the Camflo Shares or the Spearhead Shares and of all Dissenting Shareholders who are parties to the application, giving judgment in that amount against the Amalgamated Entity and in favour of each of the Dissenting Shareholders, and fixing the time within which the Amalgamated Entity must pay that amount. The Court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder calculated from the date on which the holder ceases to have any rights as an a Shareholder, until the date of payment.

On the Amalgamation becoming effective, or upon the making of an agreement between the Amalgamated Entity and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made by the Amalgamated Entity to the holder, or upon the pronouncement of a Court order, whichever first occurs, the Dissenting Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of such holder's Shares, in the amount agreed to between the Amalgamated Entity and the Dissenting Shareholder or in the amount of the judgment, as the case may be. Until one of these events occurs, the Dissenting Shareholder may withdraw the holder's dissent, or if the Amalgamation has not yet become effective, Camflo or Spearhead may rescind the Amalgamation Resolution, and in either event the dissent and appraisal proceedings in respect of that Dissenting Shareholder will be discontinued.

The Amalgamated Entity shall not make a payment to an Dissenting Shareholder under Section 191 if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Amalgamated Entity is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or that the realizable value of the assets of the Amalgamated Entity would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities. In such event, the Amalgamated Entity shall notify each Dissenting Shareholder that it is unable lawfully to pay such Dissenting Shareholder for its Shares, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder may, by written notice to the Amalgamated Entity within 30 days after receipt of such notice, withdraw such holder's written objection, in which case the Amalgamated Entity shall be deemed to consent to the withdrawal and such Dissenting Shareholder shall be reinstated with full rights as a Shareholder failing which such Dissenting Shareholder retains a status as a claimant against the Amalgamated Entity to be paid as soon as the Amalgamated Entity is lawfully entitled to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Amalgamated Entity but in priority to its shareholders.

All Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders will, if the holders are ultimately entitled to be paid the fair value thereof, be deemed to be transferred to the Amalgamated Entity and cancelled in exchange for such fair value or will, if such Dissenting Shareholders ultimately are not so entitled to be paid the fair value thereof, be deemed to be changed into shares of the Amalgamated Entity on the same basis as all other Camflo Shareholders or Spearhead Shareholders, as the case may be.

The above summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of their Shares. Section 191 of the ABCA requires adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all rights thereunder. Accordingly, each Shareholder who might desire to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of that section, the full text of which is set out in Schedule "F" to this Information Circular and consult their own legal advisor.

The Amalgamation Agreement provides, as a condition to the obligations to complete the Amalgamation that holders of not more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of either Camflo or Spearhead shall have exercised rights of dissent in connection with the Amalgamation.

Procedure for Exchange of Share Certificates

After the Closing Date, certificates formerly representing Camflo Shares and Spearhead Shares shall represent only the right to receive certificates representing Amalco Shares. The issued and outstanding shares in the capital of each of the Corporations shall be converted into issued and outstanding shares of the Amalgamated Entity as follows:

(a)

each four (4) issued and outstanding Camflo Shares (other than Camflo Shares held by registered holders who have exercised dissent rights and who are ultimately entitled to be paid fair market value for such shares) shall be converted into three issued, fully paid and non-assessable Amalco Shares subject to adjustment; provided that fractional Amalco Shares shall not be issued to holders of Camflo Shares.  In lieu of issuing a fractional Amalco Share, Amalco shall pay to any holder of Camflo Shares who would otherwise be entitled to acquire a fractional interest in an Amalco Share an amount in the lawful money of Canada equal to the Market Price of such fractional interest, provided that the Amalgamated Entity shall not be required to make any payment that is less than $1.00; and

(b)

each one (1) issued and outstanding Spearhead Share (other than Spearhead Shares held by registered holders who have exercised dissent rights and who are ultimately entitled to be paid fair market value for such shares) shall be converted into one (1) issued, fully paid and non-assessable Amalco Share subject to adjustment; provided that fractional Amalco Shares shall not be issued to holders of Spearhead Shares.  In lieu of issuing a fractional Amalco Share, Amalco shall pay to any holder of Spearhead Shares who would otherwise be entitled to acquire a fractional interest in an Amalco Share an amount in the lawful money of Canada equal to the Market Price of such fractional interest, provided that the Amalgamated Entity shall not be required to make any payment that is less than $1.00.

Subsequent to the mailing of this Information Circular, Shareholders will be mailed, at the address of such Shareholder as it appears on the appropriate register for such securities, the Camflo Transmittal Letter and/or the Spearhead Transmittal Letter and instructions for obtaining delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Amalco Shares allotted and issued to them, assuming the Effective Date has occurred, by delivering the certificates representing the Camflo Shares and/or Spearhead Shares formerly held by them to Computershare at the offices indicated in the Camflo Transmittal Letter and the Spearhead Transmittal Letter.  Such certificates shall be accompanied by a duly completed letter of transmittal together with such other documents as Computershare may require and the certificates representing the Amalco Shares shall be registered in such name or names and delivered to such address or addresses as such Shareholders of the Amalgamted Entity may direct in such letter of transmittal as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by Computershare of the required documents.

Sale of Shares of U.S. Residents

The Amalco Shares issuable in the Amalgamation are not being registered or qualified for distribution under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States.  The Spearhead Transmittal Letter and the Camflo Transmittal Letter pursuant to which Shareholders may exchange certificates for their Spearhead Shares or Camflo Shares, respectively, for Amalco Shares (see "Special Meeting Business – Procedure for Exchange of Share Certificates") will contain a representation as to whether the tendering Shareholder is in the United States or a U.S. Person.  Each Shareholder of Spearhead or Camflo who is or appears to be in the United States or a U.S. Person may not receive Amalco Shares, unless such Shareholder establishes to the satisfaction of the Amalgamated Entity, whose determination shall be final and binding, that the delivery of Amalco Shares to such Shareholder is lawful and does not subject the Amalgamated Entity to any registration, reporting or other similar requirement.  All Amalco Shares that may not be delivered to Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing will be issued and delivered to Computershare for sale by it on behalf of such Shareholders in the manner described below.

Not less frequently than once a week following the Effective Date, Amalco Shares which Computershare is required to sell in accordance with the preceding paragraph will be pooled and sold as soon as practicable in one or more transactions effected on the Exchange or otherwise. Thereafter, Computershare will promptly forward to each person whose Amalco Shares have been sold as part of such pool a cheque in Canadian dollars in an amount equal to such person's pro rata interest in the proceeds of sale of all Amalco Shares in such pool so sold by Computershare (net of all applicable commissions in respect of such sales and any applicable withholding taxes).  In effecting the sale of any Amalco Shares, Computershare will exercise its sole judgment as to the timing and manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price.  None of  Amalco, Spearhead, Camflo or Computershare will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Amalco Shares relating to the manner or timing of such sales, the prices at which Amalco Shares are sold, or otherwise.  The sale price of Amalco Shares sold on behalf of such persons will fluctuate with the market price of the Amalco Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any such sale.  Spearhead or Camflo Shareholders who are resident in the United States, and who desire certainty with respect to the amount to be received by them in connection with the Amalgamation, may wish to consult their advisors regarding a sale of their Spearhead or Camflo Shares in the open market prior to the Effective Date.   In this regard, due to commissions payable, U.S. Shareholders whose Amalco Shares realize proceeds of sale of less than Cdn $10.00 will not receive any monies.

Resale of Amalco Shares

The Amalco Shares to be issued pursuant to the Amalgamation will be issued in reliance upon statutory exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws. As the Amalgamated Entity will be a reporting issuer under the Securities Act (British Columbia) and the Securities Act (Alberta), Amalco Shares issued pursuant to the Amalgamation to residents of Canada, other than residents of the Province of Quebec, will be "freely tradeable" subject to the provisions of section 2.6 of Multilateral Instrument 45-102.

The Amalco Shares will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), as amended, or the securities laws of any state in the United States.  As a result any Amalco Shares issued to a U.S. Person (as that term is defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless such Amalco Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities legislation or an exemption from such state registration requirements is available.  Amalco Shares issuable to a U.S. Person will bear a legend setting forth the above referenced restrictions.

Shareholders are urged to consult their legal advisors to determine the extent of any resale provisions that may be applicable to their Amalco Shares.  

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

The following is a summary of the principal consequences under the Tax Act generally applicable to Shareholders and to holders of either Camflo Options or Spearhead Options (collectively, "Securityholders") who exchange their securities for like-kind securities of the Amalgamated Entity pursuant to the Amalgamation.  These consequences apply only to Securityholders who hold their securities as capital property and who at all relevant times deal at arm's length with, and are not affiliated with, Camflo, Spearhead or the Amalgamated Entity under the Tax Act.  The securities will generally constitute capital property to a holder thereof unless the holder holds such securities in the course of carrying on a business or has acquired such securities in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.  In circumstances where securities may not otherwise constitute capital property to a particular holder who is resident in Canada, such holder may be entitled to elect that they be deemed capital property by making an irrevocable election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to treat all Canadian securities (as defined in the Tax Act) as capital property.  This summary is also based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and regulations thereunder, all proposals to amend the Tax Act and regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals") and our understanding of the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA").  No assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed, if at all.

The Tax Act contains certain provisions relating to securities held by certain financial institutions (the "mark-to-market rules").  This summary does not take into account these mark-to-market rules.  Securityholders that are "financial institutions" for purposes of those rules should consult their own tax advisors.  In addition, this summary does not apply to any holder of Camflo or Spearhead securities or the Amalgamated Entity securities an interest in which would be a tax shelter investment for purposes of the Tax Act.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, regulatory or judicial decision or action or any changes in the administrative practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account tax legislation of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction.  Provisions of provincial income tax legislation vary from province to province in Canada and in some cases differ from federal income tax legislation.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to a particular Securityholder or an opinion of the tax consequences.  Accordingly, Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the income tax consequences to them of disposing of their securities and holding and disposing of the Amalgamated Entity securities having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Residents of Canada

The following summary is applicable only to Securityholders who, at all relevant times, are, or are deemed to be, resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Amalgamation

Assuming that the fair market value of the Amalco Shares which each Shareholder receives by virtue of the Amalgamation are not less than the fair market value of the Shares held immediately before the Amalgamation and each Shareholder receives no consideration for the disposition of the Shares other than the Amalco Shares, each Shareholder who receives the Amalco Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation will be deemed to have disposed of his Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost bases to him of these Shares immediately before the Amalgamation.  As a result, no capital gain should arise on the receipt of the Amalco Shares in exchange for Shares.  The aggregate adjusted cost base of the Amalco Shares to each Shareholder immediately after the Amalgamation will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost bases of the Shares that such Shareholder owned immediately before the Amalgamation.

Where a Shareholder does not hold such Shares as capital property then the consequences described above are not applicable and such Shareholder should consult his own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Amalgamation to him.

For the purposes of the employment stock option rules in section 7 of the Tax Act, provided the exercise discount, being the excess of fair market value of the underlying securities over the exercise price for an optionholder, of the Amalco Options received does not exceed the exercise discount of the Camflo Options or Spearhead Options (collectively, the "Options") surrendered, and that each holder of Options receives no other consideration for the Options other than Amalco Options, each holder of Options who receives the Amalco Options as a result of the Amalgamation will be deemed not to have disposed of his Options and not to have acquired Amalco Options; the Amalco Options will be deemed to be the same options as, and a continuation of, the exchanged Options or the Amalgamated Entity will be deemed to be a continuation of the Corporations.  As a result, no income, gain or loss should arise on the receipt of the Amalco Options in exchange for the Options.

Where an optionholder holds the Options as capital property, immediately prior to the Amalgamation, and who received no consideration for the Options other than Amalco Options, the optionholder shall be deemed to have disposed of the Options for proceeds equal to the adjusted cost base to the optionholder of the Options immediately before the Amalgamation, and to have acquired the Amalco Options at a cost to the optionholder equal to the adjusted cost base of the Options immediately before the Amalgamation.  Further, where the Options were taxable Canadian property of the optionholder, the Amalco Options shall be deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the optionholder.

Payments to Dissenting Shareholders

Under the current administrative practice of CRA, a Shareholder who exercises a right of dissent will be considered to have disposed of such Shareholder's Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid by the Corporation to such Shareholder (other than interest awarded by the court, which will be treated as interest for purposes of the Tax Act), and a gain or loss will result on the disposition.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Approval of Stock Option Plan

Provided that the Amalgamation Resolution is passed by the requisite majority, Shareholders will be asked to consider the implementation of the Amalco Stock Option Plan.

Under the TSX Venture Exchange's Policy 4.4 governing stock options, all companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange are required to adopt a stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be granted to certain employees, senior officers and directors of or consultants to the Corporations.  

Shareholders of Camflo and Spearhead previously approved stock option plans (the "Old Plans").  Given the proposed Amalgamation of these two companies, the proposed management of the Amalgamated Entity wishes to adopt a 10% "rolling" plan which would replace the Old Plans (the "Amalco Stock Option Plan").  The Amalco Stock Option Plan shall consist of shares of the Amalgamated Entity's authorized but unissued common shares and will be limited to 10% of the issued shares of the Amalgamated Entity at the time of any granting of options (on a non-diluted basis).  Any previously granted options of Camflo and Spearhead will be deemed to be accepted into and governed by the Amalco Stock Option Plan (subject to adjustment in accordance with the exchange ratio applicable to each Corporation's shares pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement), and if any options granted expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares shall again be available under the Amalco Stock Option Plan.  The Amalco Stock Option Plan complies with the requirements of Exchange Policy 4.4.

The Amalco Stock Option Plan will have the following terms:

the plan shall be administered by the Executive Committee of directors appointed from time to time by the board of directors, or if no Executive Committee is appointed, by the President of the Amalgamated Entity, in either case subject to approval by the board of directors pursuant to rules of procedure fixed by the board of directors;

the board of directors may determine the time during which any options may vest and the method of vesting or that no vesting restriction shall exist;

the exercise price of an option shall not be lower than the price permitted by any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction;

the options shall be for such periods as the Board of Directors may determine up to a maximum of five years (for a Tier 2 Issuer) or ten years (for a Tier 1 Issuer), subject to any limits imposed by any stock exchange on which the common shares are listed;

no more than 5% of the issuer shares of the Amalgamated Entity may be granted to any one individual in any 12 month period (unless the Issuer is a Tier 1 Issuer and has obtained disinterested Shareholder approval);

no more than 2% of the issued shares of the Amalgamated Entity will be granted to any one consultant in a 12 month period (Policy 4.4, section 2.8(a)(iv));

no more than an aggregate of 2% of the issued shares of the Amalgamated Entity will be granted to employees conducting investor relations activities in a 12 month period (Policy 4.4, section 2.8(a)(v));

disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of the option if the optionee is an insider at the time of the proposed amendment (Policy 4.4, section 2.8(a)(vii));

the minimum exercise price of an incentive stock option will not be less than the discounted market price (Policy 4.4, section 2.6(a)).

unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, an option will terminate:

(i)

(Tier 2 Issuers) 90 days after an optionee ceases to be an employee or senior officer or a or consultant of the Amalgamated Entity; or

(ii)

(Tier 2 Issuers) 30 days after an optionee ceases to be employed to provide Investor Relations Activities; or

(iii)

120 days after an optionee ceases to be a director of the Amalgamated Entity;

in the event of the death of an optionee, the option will only be exercisable within 12 months of such death but in any event no longer than the term of such option; and

the options shall be non-transferrable and non-assignable.

Under Exchange Policy 4.4, a disinterested shareholder vote is required if:

(1)

a stock option plan, together with all of the Issuer's previously established or proposed stock option grants, could result at any time in:

(a)

the number of shares reserved for issuance under stock options granted to Insiders exceeding 10% of the outstanding issued shares;

(b)

the issuance to Insiders, within a one year period, of a number of shares exceeding 10% of the outstanding issued shares; or

(c)

in the case of a Tier 1 Issuer only, the issuance to anyone Insider and such Insider's Associates, within a one year period, of a number of shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding issued shares.  (Tier 2 Issuers may not grant more than 5% of the issued shares to any one optionee in a 12 month period); or

(2)

the Issuer is decreasing the exercise price of stock options previously granted to Insiders.

Disinterested shareholders are shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of the Amalgamated Entity other than insiders of the Amalgamated Entity to whom shares may be issued pursuant to the stock option plan; and "associates" of those persons.

A copy of the Amalco Stock Option Plan is available for review at the offices of each of Camflo and Spearhead at Suite 1205 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC  V6C 1H2 (in respect of Camflo) or at the office of Spearhead at Suite 275, 999 - 8 Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta  T2R 1J5 (in respect of Spearhead).

There are currently 736,933 Camflo options and 840,000 Spearhead options outstanding.  Upon Closing of the Amalgamation there will be 1,392,700 stock options outstanding in the Amalgamated Entity.

Stock Exchange Listing

Camflo and Spearhead will apply for and use all reasonable commercial efforts to obtain all appropriate regulatory approvals, including Exchange approval to cause the Amalco Shares issuable in connection with the Amalgamation to be listed and posted for trading on the Exchange on the Effective Date.

Business of the Amalgamated Entity

Pursuant to the Amalgamation, the Camflo Properties and the Spearhead Properties will be assumed by the Amalgamated Entity and the Amalgamated Entity will commence active business by developing the interests acquired.  See Schedule "A Information Concerning Camflo" for information on the business of Camflo and the Camflo Properties and see "Information Concerning Spearhead" for information on the business of Spearhead and the Spearhead Properties.

Risks Associated with the Business of the Amalgamated Entity

Upon Closing of the Amalgamation the Amalgamated Entity will assume the business of each of Camflo and Spearhead and for the purposes of this section of the Information Circular dealing with risk factors the Amalgamated Entity shall be referred to as the "Company".

History of Losses

The Company, through the combined operations of its predecessors, has a limited oil and gas operating history and therefore has a limited history of earnings. To date, Camflo and Spearhead have incurred substantial net losses.  As of December 31, 2003, these two companies had a combined cumulative deficit of $10,322,130.  The Company's ability to generate significant revenues is uncertain and in order for them to make a profit, their revenues will need to increase significantly.

Lack of Financial Resources.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain.  The Company has significant accumulated losses and has a significant working capital deficiency.  The future of the Company is dependent upon receiving the continued financial support of the debentureholders while it exploits its unproven properties to attain sustainable operations.  A failure to continue as a going concern would require that stated amounts of assets and liabilities be reflected on a liquidation basis, which would differ from the going concern basis.

The Company's ability to continue exploration and, if warranted, development of its properties will be dependent upon its ability to raise significant additional financing hereafter.  The Company will have limited financial resources and its limited cash flow from operations and will be dependent for funds on its ability to sell its common shares and share purchase warrants, primarily on a private placement basis, pursuant to the policies of the Exchange.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to finance itself on that basis in light of factors such as the market demand for its securities, the state of financial markets generally and other relevant factors.  The method of financing employed by Camflo and Spearhead to date have resulted in increased dilution to the existing shareholders each time a private placement was conducted.  

The Company will have no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for exploration and development of its projects or to fulfil its obligations under any applicable agreements.  Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects with the possible loss of certain properties.

Potential of Substantial Dilution

It is likely that to obtain additional funds as needed, the Company will have to sell additional securities, including, but not limited to, its common stock or some form of convertible debentures, the effect of which may result in a substantial dilution of the present equity interests of the Company's shareholders.

Property Defects

The Company has not obtained title reports with respect to its oil and gas properties however believes the Company's interests are valid and enforceable.  The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, native land claims or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through title research.  Additionally, the land upon which the Company holds oil and gas leases may not have been surveyed; therefore, the precise area and location of such interests may be subject to challenge.  In particular, without limiting the foregoing, a review of title to the Joffre Property on behalf of Camflo has revealed certain defects in title to certain portions of the lands comprising the Joffre Property.  While it is not felt that such defects are material there are no assurances that such defects may not affect its interest in the Joffre Property.

Debentures

Following completion of the Camflo private placement there was approximately $2,000,000 remaining payable under the Paramount Debentures, which amount is due November 15, 2004.  There is also $2,054,000 outstanding under debentures due in March of 2005.  On Closing of the Amalgamation this amount will be a debt of the Company.  While there is confidence that further monies will be raised through debt or equity financings to pay out the Paramount Debentures when they come due, there are no assurances that such monies will be raised.  

Need to Manage Growth

In the event the Company's properties commence production, the Company could experience rapid growth in revenues, personnel, complexity of administration and in other areas.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage the significant strains that future growth may place on the Company's administrative infrastructure, systems, and controls.  If the Company is unable to manage future growth effectively, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

Dependence on Key Personnel/Employees

The Company will be dependent on its ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. The Company faces competition for qualified personnel from numerous industry sources, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.  The Company will not have key man insurance on any of its employees. The loss of service of any of its key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the Company.

Conflicts of Interest

In addition to their interest in the Company, the proposed management of the Company currently engages, and intends to engage in the future, in the oil and gas business independently of the Company. As a result, conflicts of interest between the Company and management of the Company might arise.

Risks Relating to the Industry

Oil and Gas Exploration

Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors.  While the rewards to an investor can be substantial if an economically viable discovery is made, few of the properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells.

Potential Profitability of Oil and Gas Ventures Depends Upon Factors Beyond the Control of the Company

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond the Company's control.  For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments.  Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project.  These changes and events may materially affect the Company's financial performance.

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.  A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.  In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances.  The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control.  These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.  The extent of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competitiveness of Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. The Company will compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs.  Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds.  There can be no assurance that the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.

Fluctuating Price and Demand

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control.  These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Comprehensive Regulation of Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment.  Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.  Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received.  No assurance can be given that environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities will not be changed or that any such changes would not have material adverse effects on the Company's activities.  Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on the Company.  Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which it may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.

Environmental Regulations

In general, the Company's exploration and production activities will be subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control.  Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation.  Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on the Company's operations or financial condition to date.  Specifically, the Company will be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes.  In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities.  However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and the Company will be unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.  Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect the Company any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

The Company believes that its operations will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations.

The Company's operating partners will maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, it is not fully insured against all environmental risks.

Risks Associated with Drilling

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk.  Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour, and other risks are involved. The Company may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure.  Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and operations.

Government Regulation/Administrative Practices

There is no assurance that the laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in Canada or any other jurisdiction, will not be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of the Company to carry on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on the Company.  Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on its ability to operate and/or become profitable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Forward Looking Statements

Except for historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") may contain forward looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factor that may cause Camflo's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward looking statements.

Business Description

Camflo's principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development, production, and marketing of petroleum and natural gas in Alberta. Camflo holds working interests in several prospects throughout Alberta ranging from 3.75% to 68%. Camflo commenced production during the fourth quarter of 2003 from its Prairie River 15-16 gas well in which it holds a 21.5% working interest.  Camflo has a commitment to the exploration and development of several new prospects within its regions of focus in Alberta during the year 2004.

The year 2003 saw a substantial increase in market prices for both oil and natural gas.  The large amount of unbudgeted cash flow accruing to oil and natural gas producers due to these high prices alone has put substantial pressure on industry to find ways to employ this capital.  Strong cash positions of conventional producers and competition for on-line production by Income Trust Funds have together pushed the demand for new drilling prospects to an all time high.  Camflo has been successful in developing new high quality prospects which will be drill-ready in 2004.  It is expected that commodity pricing will continue to be the main factor influencing industry decisions in the near future.

Since January 1, 2004 natural gas prices have exceeded Cdn. $7.00/mcf on several occasions, with similar significant increases in oil prices.  The unexpected high commodity prices have seen the industry with strong balance sheets and greater revenues, however, the other side of the positive turn is that the cost of doing business is rising rapidly, making it more difficult for smaller, less financed companies to participate in the active market.  

The resource industry in which Camflo is engaged is, in general, highly competitive. Competitors include well-capitalized resource companies, independent resource companies and other companies having financial and other resources far greater than those of Camflo. Thus, a degree of competition exists between those engaged in the resource industry to acquire the most valuable properties. Due to the competitive pressures currently facing Camflo, it will focus on continuing to develop the projects it already has an interest in, and continue to seek medium risk plays below the target level of income trust funds.

Oil and Gas Interests

Alexander Prospect, Alberta

Camflo has entered into an agreement to acquire a 35% net working interest of petroleum and natural gas rights in four sections of land with potential for multiple oil and gas formations in the Alexander prospect near Edmonton, Alta. The agreement calls for Camflo to pay 70% of the costs of drilling and completion of two re-entry oil wells (known as the 3-7 and 12-7 wells) and two new gas wells for a 70% working interest before payout, subject to a convertible overriding royalty of 15%. After payout to Camflo on these four wells, the convertible overriding royalty will convert to a 35% working interest, leaving Camflo retaining a 35% net working interest. By drilling these wells, Camflo has earned an option to participate in additional wells on these four sections on a straight-up basis (35% of costs for a 35% working interest) as well as an additional three contiguous sections (area of mutual interest) also on a straight-up basis (35% of costs for a 35% working interest). The 12-7 well is currently shut-in pending completion of a production battery and the 3-7 well will be utilized as a water disposal well.

Camflo has a 35% working interest of completed gas well 3A-7 (Belly River shallow gas well). The well is currently shut-in awaiting tie-in to production facilities. Pursuant to its option as disclosed above, Camflo participated as to its 35% net Working Interest ("WI") in the 6- 7-57-1-W5 well that was drilled and cased in anticipation for production of commercial quantities of oil and gas. Camflo also plans to participate for a 30% net WI in a Belly River well, 5-8-57-1-W5, that is expected to be drilled this fall.

Snipe Lake Project, Alberta

Camflo has acquired a 10% working interest of petroleum and natural gas rights in four sections of land north of Swan Hills, Alberta. The 10% working interest is based on paying 10% of the costs of drilling, completion and pipeline tie -in of a test well, known as the 3-28 well, before payout subject to a convertible overriding royalty of 15%. After payout, the convertible overriding royalty will convert to a 5% working interest one section of land. By drilling this well, Camflo earns an option to participate in further exploration in an additional three contiguous sections at the same terms and conditions. The 3-28 test well was completed during the year and has been flow tested (with I.P. rates of 4 mmcf/d). A pipeline for this well is expected to be built in 2004.

Camflo, with its partners, also drilled a 2,800-metre well to test the Slave Point formation at 9-29-69-17W5. The well did not find commercial quantities of hydrocarbon and was subsequently abandoned.  By participating in the 3-28 and the 9-29 wells, Camflo has now earned a 5-per-cent working interest and all rights in four sections of land in the area.  Also, as a result of grouping an adjacent license with the 3-28 well, Camflo and its partners earned an aggregate 75 per cent (net 3.75% to Camflo) interest in seven additional sections of land.

Camflo acquired a 6.5% interest in three additional sections of mineral rights in the Snipe Lake project area in Crown land sales. In addition, during the period, Camflo acquired a 20% interest in seven additional sections of mineral rights in the Snipe Lake area at a Crown Land sale. This additional land adjoins the company's existing Snipe Lake holdings.  Additional seismic was recently shot and processed which has identified four more drillable prospects on Camflo's property.  Camflo now has varying interests from 3.75% to 20% in a total of 21 sections of petroleum and natural gas leases on this project.

Rainbow Lake Project - Black Creek, Northern Alberta

Camflo has entered into an agreement to acquire a 68% working interest in three sections of land in the Rainbow area of Alberta near Black Creek. The agreement calls for Camflo to pay 68% of the costs of drilling and completion of a well to test the Keg River reef as defined by 3-D seismic. Camflo will have a 68% working interest before payout, reverting to a 34% working interest after payout, in the petroleum and natural gas rights.

In addition, Camflo has the right to participate, by way of an option, on three sections of adjoining lands with a similar anomaly. Camflo and its partners have drilled and cased the well, 3-18-110-09-W6, at Rainbow Lake. The service rig started its test on this multi-zone well, but due to warm weather and earlier than usual breakup, the test was suspended and will resume as soon as conditions allow. The Muskeg and Jean Marie formations will be tested for potential oil production and the Sulphur Point formation will be tested for the potential of natural gas production. On a successful completion, this well has set up two more drillable locations.

Prairie River Prospect, Alberta

Camflo entered into an agreement to acquire a 21.5% net working interest in a gas well re -completion, known as the 15-16 well, in one section of land in the Prairie River area of Alberta. The agreement calls for Camflo to pay 35% of the costs, approximately $56,420, of re -completion for a 21.5% working interest of petroleum and natural gas rights. In addition, Camflo took an option on three sections of adjoining lands by paying 40% of a subsequent seismic program and drilling an additional well at 100% working interest before payout and 49.5% working interest after payout at Camflo's election.

On October 15, the 15-16 well was placed in production at Prairie River. The well came on stream at an initial rate of approximately 800,000 cubic feet of gas per day with the rate declining slightly since commencement of production. Camflo has 21.5% net working interest in this well.

Camflo and its partners have shot and reviewed seismic off-setting its 15-16 well. The seismic identified an offset location to this well at 16-17-69-16 W5. The new location has been built and the well is expected to be drilled during the fall as there was not sufficient time prior to breakup. Camflo renegotiated its previous option agreement and has agreed to participate as to a 51.25% working interest before payout reverting to a 31% working interest after payout in the new well and will have earned this interest in the three sections of petroleum & natural gas leases originally optioned. With facilities in place the 16-17 well, if successful, could be placed on production immediately.

Goose River Prospect, Alberta

Camflo entered into an agreement to acquire a 30% working interest in four sections of petroleum and natural gas leases in the Goose River area of Alberta. The agreement calls for Camflo to pay 30% of the cost of drilling and completing a test well which has been technically defined by seismic data. Camflo will have a 30% working interest before payout, reverting to an 18% working interest after payout in the test well and will earn an 18% net working interest in all four sections of land. This multi-zone test well, at 6-3- 69-17-W5, has been drilled and cased in expectation for production of commercial quantities of oil and gas. In addition, Camflo has the right to participate on the same terms, by way of an option, on eight sections of adjoining lands with similar geological objectives. These twelve sections of land are contiguous to Camflo's acreage in the Snipe Lake and Prairie River areas in Northern Alberta.

Camflo acquired an additional 8% working interest in the Goose River test well as a result of a partner not participating in this well. All remaining partners picked up their proportionate working interests. The additional interest has a 500% penalty payment associated against the non participating party. Once 500% of the total costs of this operation have been recovered the non-participating party could reacquire the 8% working interest from Camflo.

Results of Operations

Camflo reported revenues from its oil and gas investments of $111,157 and a gross profit of $11,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Camflo commenced production during the fourth quarter of 2003 and therefore there are no comparative revenue figures to report for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Camflo reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $320,118 compared to a net loss of $123,782 in the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase in the loss is due to an increase in exploration, development and financing activities. Specifically, the increased expenses relate to consulting, management and professional fees as well as investor/shareholder information and travelling expenses.  The increase in management and consulting fees is a result of the increased activities and growth of Camflo.  At this time, Camflo has no employees nor in-house support staff.  The day to day operations and over sight of the affairs of the Company, including the oil and gas interests, are provided by three directors of Camflo (See Related Party Transactions).  In addition, Camflo from time to time retains the services of other directors and pays a consulting fee for such services. Investor relations and shareholder communications expenses have increased as a result of the increased financings.   Camflo has taken a more aggressive approach to investor awareness during financing periods to assist in completing the financings.  The travel and accommodation expense relates to out of town meetings for the acquisition and investigation of oil and gas interests.

Camflo capitalized $1,684,943 in resource property expenditures (less $36,511 for depletion of its producing properties) during the period ending June 30, 2004. Resource property expenditures consisted of the acquisition of a 20% interest in seven additional sections of mineral rights in the Snipe Lake area; drilling on the Alexander, Black Creek, Goose River and Rainbow Prospects; and land lease payments.  

Convertible debentures outstanding deceased in the period due to the conversion in the previous quarter of the remaining balance of $360,000 in debentures.  The amount reported on the balance sheet at June 30, 2004 of $139,497 under Convertible Debentures Payable represents accrued interest on the debentures that has not yet been paid or converted.  

Camflo issued 7,374,000 common shares in the period increasing the number of common shares outstanding in Camflo from 6,630,066 at December 31, 2003 to 14,004,066 at June 30, 2004 resulting in share capital increasing from $2,002,491 to $3,684,234 at June 30, 2004.  The significant share issuance during the period was 3,600,000 common shares issued on conversion of the debentures as discussed above. Camflo also issued 2,600,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $1,190,000 in connection with private placements and 1,168,000 common shares for proceeds of $200,600 on the exercise of warrants.

Revenues up to December 31, 2003 were $51,805 and the gross loss was $7,350 for the twelve months to December 31, 2003.  This compares to no revenues reported in the previous fiscal years as there were no active production situations during the periods.

Administrative and corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $348,733 compared to expenses in the preceding year of $269,021.  The increase in expenses for the year of 29% is a result of increased corporate activity, acquisitions, and additional management and consulting expenses to oversee the expanded operations of Camflo during the year.  Office rent increased from $4,800 to $16,762 due to a move to larger premises to accommodate the expanded operations of Camflo.  Travel expenses increased from $16,024 to $23,576 due to due diligence required on proposed acquisitions and the requirements of overseeing the various oil and gas projects in Alberta.  In all other respects the administrative and corporate expenses of Camflo remained materially consistent with the preceding year.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $611,792, or $0.14 per share, compared to $269,021 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 0.12 per share. The significant increase in net loss during the period was due to a number of factors including a write-off of an abandoned property of $217,778, increased interest charges on Camflo's outstanding debts, and increased corporate activity as described above.

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was relatively consistent with the previous quarter. The net loss was $188,074 for the quarter, somewhat higher than the net loss of $132,044 reported in the prior quarter, due to a significant increase in general and administrative expenses in the quarter. The fluctuation in administrative expenses is dependent on a number of factors including the level of operating and financing activity Camflo undertakes from quarter to quarter. The increased expenses were professional fees, travel, and shareholder communications.  The increase in these expenses is a direct result of the planned amalgamation with Spearhead. (See Subsequent Events) and an increase in financing activities (see Results of Operations).

The net loss during the current quarter was greater than the previous quarter despite costs being reported in the prior quarter for Stock Based Compensation relating to stock option grants and Amortization of Deferred Charges relating to the conversion of the convertible debentures. These two events resulted in charges to operations in the preceding quarter of $31,600 and $26,188 respectively.

Related Party Transactions

During the quarter, Camflo incurred approximately $46,000 of charges by directors or companies with common directors for management, consulting and professional fees. Under agreements with its management and consultants, Camflo pays monthly management and consulting fees of $14,000 to related parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the fourth quarter of 2003, Camflo commenced oil and gas production in Alberta and realized operating revenues from these activities. Camflo anticipates an increase of revenues as Camflo places in production several resource properties drilled during the last fifteen months. Historically, Camflo has raised funds through equity financing and the exercise of options and warrants to fund its operations and it continues to rely upon these sources of capital to finance its operations.

The market price of natural resources is highly speculative and volatile. Instability in prices may affect the interest in resource properties and the development of and production from such properties. This may adversely affect Camflo's revenues as well as its ability to raise capital to acquire and explore resource properties.

At June 30, 2004 Camflo had a working capital deficiency of $1,653,311.  Subsequent to the period, Camflo issued 9,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.50 per share and 3,185,273 tax-flow through common shares at a price of $0.55 per share for total gross proceeds of $6,251,900.  Also, see Subsequent Events below.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See Subsequent Events below.

Critical Accounting Estimates

See Note 2 to the December 31, 2003 year end audited financial statements for Camflo's significant accounting policies.

Changes in Accounting Policies

In January 2004, Camflo adopted the amended CICA Handbook Section 3870 – "Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments".  This change in accounting policy has been applied retroactively with no restatement of prior periods presented.  Under the new method, compensation costs attributable to share options granted to employees or directors is measured at fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected exercise period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.  Previously, Camflo accounted for stock-based compensation using the settlement method and no compensation costs were recorded in the financial statements for stock options granted as the options had no intrinsic value at the date of grant.  As a result of the change in accounting policy, the December 31, 2003 comparative figures on the Balance Sheet have increased accumulated deficit by $55,513 and contributed surplus increased by $55,513.

Financial Instruments

Camflo's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, promissory notes payable, convertible debentures payable, and amounts owing to related parties. Terms of the financial instruments are fully disclosed in Camflo's financial statements. It is management's opinion that Camflo is not exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from its financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.

Disclosure for Venture Issuers without Significant Revenue

Camflo commenced generating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2003 and has not had significant revenues in either of its last two financial years. The following table is a breakdown of the material components listed for the two most recently completed financial years and for the six month period ended June 31, 2004:

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, Camflo issued 9,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.50 per share and 3,185,273 tax flow through common shares at a price of $0.55 per share for total gross proceed of $6,251,900.  Dominick & Dominick Securities Inc. received a cash commission of $437,633 (equal to 7% of the proceeds of the private placement) and broker warrants to acquire up to 1,218,527 common shares at a price of $0.50 per share for an 18 month period.

Subsequent to June 30, 2004, Camflo purchased a 32% working interest on the Joffre oil and gas property in central Alberta from Spearhead. Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement Camflo paid a purchase price of $3,500,000 for the property and provided a further $1,500,000 to Spearhead on account of outstanding joint venture obligations and approved AFE's. In conjunction with the acquisition, Camflo also entered into an Amalgamation Agreement with Spearhead under which Camflo and Spearhead have agreed to amalgamate on basis that Camflo Shareholders would receive three (3) Amalco Shares for every four (4) Camflo Shares held and Spearhead Shareholders will receive one (1) Amalco Share for every one (1) Spearhead Share.

Dividends

Since incorporation Camflo has not paid any dividends on the Camflo Shares.  Any decision to pay dividends on the Camflo Shares in the future will be dependent upon the financial requirements of Camflo to finance future growth, the financial condition of Camflo and other factors which the board of directors of Camflo may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

General Development And Description Of The Business of Spearhead

General

The principal business of the corporation is the acquisition, development, and exploration or, production and marketing of petroleum and natural gas reserves in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

In 2001, Spearhead completed a number of private placements raising total gross proceeds of approximately $8 million, the most significant being two separate convertible debenture private placements.  In August of 2001, Spearhead received $2.054 million pursuant to the private placement of eleven convertible debentures maturing on April of 2004, with an interest rate of 10% per annum, convertible at a rate of one share for every $0.30 in year one, $0.60 in year two and $0.90 in year three.  On June 2, 2004, Spearhead received the approval of the TSXV to the extension of the maturity date to March 12, 2005.  In December of 2001, Spearhead received $5 million pursuant to a private placement of a secured convertible debenture, with an interest rate of 8% per annum, issued to one placee, being Paramount Resources Ltd. ("Paramount").  The $5 million debenture originally had a conversion rate of one share for every $0.60 of principal and matured on December 1, 2003, but has since been amended to reduce the conversion rate to one share for every $0.50 of principal and to extend the maturity date to November 15, 2004, as set out below.

In 2002, there were two private placements conducted raising total gross proceeds of approximately $0.5 million.

In 2003 and the first part of 2004, Spearhead raised $1.98 million through two secured convertible debenture private placements to Paramount, each debenture bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum.  In addition to the $990,000 debenture issued in September of 2003, Paramount also received 3,300,000 warrants exercisable at $0.30 per share until September 16, 2004.  The maturity dates were amended to June 1, 2004 and have since been paid in full.

Recent Developments

Pursuant to an agreement of purchase and sale dated effective July 7, 2004 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") between Spearhead and Camflo International Inc. ("Camflo"), Spearhead sold to Camflo its 32% working interest in the Joffre oil and gas property, located in central Alberta.  The purchase price payable by Camflo was $3.5 million.  Together with an advance of $1.5 million from Camflo in connection with certain joint venture obligations and AFE's, Spearhead paid $5 million to Paramount in order to discharge certain outstanding convertible debentures and the interest accrued thereon.  In connection therewith, Spearhead and Paramount entered into a debenture amending agreement dated effective June 1, 2004 (the "Amending Agreement") to reflect the reduced amount owing under the $5 million debenture (following the above referenced payments), the reduced conversion rate and the extended maturity date of November 15, 2004.  In addition, the Corporation and Camflo entered into an amalgamation agreement dated effective July 7, 2004 (the "Amalgamation Agreement") providing for the amalgamation of the companies (the "Amalgamation") to create a new company ("Amalco") subject to all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.  These transactions closed on July 16, 2004.  Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, shareholders of Spearhead will receive one share of Amalco ("Amalco Share") for every common share of Spearhead ("Spearhead Share") held and holders of other convertible securities will receive equivalent securities in Amalco.  See "Special Meeting Business - Amalgamation" in the Information Circular.  See also the financial statements of Spearhead in Schedule "H" to this Information Circular, the financial statements of Camflo in Schedule "G" to this Information Circular and the and pro forma financial statements of Amalco in Schedule "I" to this Information Circular for the impact of the Amalgamation on Spearhead.

For information on the operational activities of Spearhead by area, see "Statement of Reserves Data and other Oil and Gas Information- Oil and Gas Properties".

Trends

There are a number of trends that appear to be developing, which may have both long and short-term effects on the industry.  The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin continues to mature and a large number of major producing regions have been highly developed, thereby reducing the exploration opportunities for smaller companies.  The trend for junior producers and start-up companies is to focus on more of an exploration based growth strategy which will increase the risk profile of these entities from an investor's point of view.

There is a continued trend relating to volatility of commodity prices. It appears that natural gas prices have entered an era of extreme volatility.  With the supply and demand balance for natural gas being extremely tight, the market is experiencing a great deal of elasticity in pricing due to a number of factors, including weather, drilling activity, declines, storage levels, fuel switching and demand.

Oil prices are clearly dependent on the world economy and the reaction of OPEC to demand.  The trend in Canada involves increasing production of heavy oil that is priced at a differential to WTI.  This differential is extremely wide currently but as the North American refineries are forced to accept more of the heavy crude there should be a narrowing of the differential.  This will result in a trend that will see heavy crude priced at a differential that will only include the price of diluent to move the product from the delivery point to the refineries.

Equity financings may become more difficult and selective.  As a result, companies may have to work within existing cash flows and opportunities that can be internally generated.  This may result in further industry consolidation, as companies have to focus on cost savings and operational controls in order to perform to market expectations.

A final trend appears to be the establishment of a number of royalty trusts and start-up companies with experienced management teams that are available as a result of the industry consolidation over the past three years.  This may result in increased competition for many of the corporate and property acquisitions that will be available.

Statement Of Reserves Data And Other Oil And Gas Information

This statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information (the "Statement") is dated January 1, 2004 and is effective January 1, 2004  The preparation date of the information regarding reserves in this Statement was May 12, 2004.  

The information with respect to net present values of future net revenues from reserves presented throughout this Statement, whether calculated without discount or using a discount rate, are estimated values and do not represent fair market value.  It should not be assumed that the net present values of future net revenues from reserves presented in the tables below are representative of the fair market value of the reserves.  There is no assurance that the price and cost assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.  Also see "Forward Looking and Other Cautionary Statements" and "Definitions and Notes".

Disclosure of Reserves Data

Martin & Brusset Associates ("M&B"), independent geological and petroleum engineering consultants of Calgary, Alberta has evaluated the crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves attributable to the properties of Spearhead as of January 1, 2004 in its report dated May 12, 2004 (the "M&B Report").  The M&B Report was prepared in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101") and the standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook").

The following two tables summarizing the Corporation's reserves summarize the data contained in the M&B Report and, as a result, may contain slightly different numbers than that report due to rounding.  The recovery and reserve estimates provided below and provided in the M&B Report are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimate reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided below and provided in the M&B Report.  The M&B Report is based on data supplied by Spearhead and M&B's opinion of reasonable practice in the industry.  All factual data supplied by Spearhead, including but not limited to ownership, production, costs, revenues, contracts and relevant documents, was relied upon by M&B in preparing the M&B Report.

All of the Corporation's properties, reserves and production are located in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The following table details the aggregate gross and net reserves of the Corporation, as at December 31, 2003, using forecast prices and costs as well as the aggregate net present values of future net revenue attributable to the reserves estimated using forecast prices and costs, calculated without discount and using discount rates of 5%, 10%, 12%, 15% and 20%.

The amounts of reserves provided as at December 31, 2002 were prepared pursuant to Canadian Securities Administrator's National Policy Statement 2B ("NP2B") including the reserves definitions thereunder.  Under those definitions probable reserves were adjusted by a factor to account for the risk associated with their recovery.  Under NI 51-101, reserves definitions estimates are prepared such that the full proved plus probable reserves are estimated to be recoverable.  The above reconciliation reflects current probable reserves versus previous risk adjusted (50%) probable reserves reported by the Corporation.

The following table outlines the reconciliations of changes in respect of future net revenue, estimated using constant prices and costs and calculated using a 10% discount rate, attributable to net proved reserves of the Corporation.

The Corporation's source of funding for future development costs of the Corporation's reserves will be derived from a combination of cash flow, debt and new equity.  Management of the Corporation does not anticipate that the costs of funding referred to above will materially affect the Corporation's disclosed reserves and future net revenues or will make the development of any of the Corporation's properties uneconomic.

Oil and Gas Properties

Set out below is a description of the Corporation's principal producing properties, plants, facilities and installations.  All of the Corporation's properties are onshore properties.  

Prairie River, Alberta

Spearhead currently has interests between 19.5% and 65% sections in crown mineral leases in North Central Alberta.  Spearhead has successfully acquired a partner to pursue exploration prospects.  As well, Spearhead has a producing Gething gas well in this area, plus a discovery gas well, which was farmed out by Spearhead.

In 2004, Spearhead farmed out two wells in the Prairie River area, which were drilled and cased as potential oil wells.  The farmor will be completing the wells as soon as weather permits.  Spearhead, as operator, drilled a third well in the Goose River area with several partners, which has also been cased as a potential oil well.  Further evaluation of this well will begin as soon as it is possible to move a service rig to the location.  A new location has been built on the section adjacent to Spearhead's producing gas well in Prairie River and a development well will be drilled as soon as possible.  Spearhead has participated in successful land sales purchases and additional seismic purchases in the area around the proven gas well at Snipe Lake and additional development around that well is planned for next winter, as is a pipeline to put the property into production.  A lot of work has been done on the Prairie River lands during 2004 and though no additional reserves have been added at this time there is potential for substantial additions with this winter's drilling season. Spearhead has interests of between 30% and 65% in 102 sections of mineral rights in this area.

Meekwap, Alberta

In the Meekwap area, Spearhead has a significant working interest in crown mineral leases, which includes a suspended gas well due to lack of infrastructure.

Joffre, Alberta

Spearhead had 80% ownership in the mineral leases, including a proven D-3 oil pool and an uphole Ostracod gas zone in the Joffre area.  Spearhead acquired a partner to develop this project.  The partner has completed the Ostracod gas well and is now producing.  The partner also drilled a new D-3 Reef Horizontal oil well on the property, which is producing.

In July of 2004, Spearhead sold its working interest in this property to Camflo for $3.5 million and used the proceeds to reduce corporate debt.  Spearhead retained a 5.25% freehold interest in the property.  This property has been given G.P.P. (Good Production Practice) by the EUB, which will allow for increased production and the probable drilling of new wells next year.  During 2004, this property has been Spearhead's major source of cash flow and subsequent to the Amalgamation and the G.P.P. allowance, both the freehold royalty and the working interest will continue to produce significant cash flow for the Amalco.

Alexander, Alberta

Spearhead has a 100% working interest in four sections of crown mineral leases with the potential for multiple oil and gas formations.   It has drilled a successful Belly River well and has acquired a partner to pursue additional development projects on this play.  The partner has drilled a new potential dual producer on this property, which is expected to go on stream as a new oil well by July 2004.  

A third successful well has been drilled on this property and production facilities are planned to be in place by September 2004.  Since the production facilities will include a water disposal well, there will be extra revenue generated by custom processing beyond the production from the existing wells.

Rainbow, Alberta

Spearhead participated in a well in Rainbow, Alberta, which was cased as a potential Muskeg oil well.  The completion for the well was started but not completed before break up; further work will be done as soon as weather permits.

Suffield, Saskatchewan

Spearhead has a 100% interest in 9.5 sections of exploration acreage that has been farmed out to an industry partner.  The partner has drilled a successful oil well as an initial part of earnings.  In addition, the partner has drilled a well to earn 50% in two quarter sections south of the battery.  In the Suffield area of Saskatchewan, there are presently five producing oil wells.  Both farm out wells are completed as oil wells, and are currently producing.  Spearhead owns and operates at a 50% working interest a battery facility with oil production.

Thus far in 2004, Spearhead is involved in over 13 sections of mineral rights in Suffield at varying intervals from 40% to 100%.  There are three wells in the Roseray formation and four wells in the Shaunavon formation on these lands that are capable of oil production.  As well there are several prospects for additional Roseray wells and Shaunavon wells, which Spearhead would like to drill or farm out.

Production at this property is restricted by the fact that the battery is a single well battery.  As soon as funding can be arranged, additional water disposal will be made available and the battery will be converted to a multi-well battery.  It is expected that these improvements will significantly add to the production at this property.

Reid Lake, Saskatchewan

The Corporation has a 50% working interest in a producing Shaunavon well in the Reid Lake area.

Other than as disclosed above, there are no principal plants, facilities or installations.

Producing and Non-Producing Wells

The following table sets forth the number and status of wells in which Spearhead had a working interest as at December 31, 2003 which are producing or which Spearhead considers to be capable of production. The stated interests are subject to landowner's and other royalties, where applicable, in addition to usual Crown royalties and mineral taxes. All of these wells are located in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Notes:

(1)

"Gross" wells are defined as the total number of wells in which Spearhead has an interest.

(2)

"Net" wells are defined as the aggregate of the numbers obtained by multiplying each gross well by Spearhead's percentage working interest therein.

Undeveloped Land

As at December 31, 2003, Spearhead had landholdings for oil and gas exploration purposes totalling 48,147 gross hectares of land (16,397 net hectares of land).  As at December 31, 2003, 30,518 gross (15,959 net) hectares of these landholdings were undeveloped.  These lands are located in Alberta and Saskatchewan.  The net area of undeveloped property for which Spearhead has rights to explore, develop and exploit that is expected to expire by December 31, 2004 is nil.

Additional Information Concerning Abandonment and Reclamation Costs

Abandonment and reclamation costs ("ARO Costs") for Spearhead's surface leases, wells facilities and pipelines as of December 31, 2003 are estimated to be $461,000.   At a discount rate of 7% the Corporation estimates the ARO Costs to be $310,000.

Spearhead anticipates that the number of wells which will at some time require the expenditure of ARO Costs is 8 net wells.

Spearhead has estimated its ARO Costs and they have been reviewed by its external reserves auditor.  Site visits were made to wells and other facilities and, in regard to surface reclamation costs, visual inspections were made of a representative sample of the Corporation's lands.  For down-hole abandonment costs the third party evaluator provided a typical well and abandonment cost estimate which was then applied by Spearhead to its various wells.  Salvage values were estimated by Spearhead using its experience in the industry.

Tax Horizon

The Corporation was not taxable in 2002 or 2003.  The Corporation will not be taxable in 2004.  It is not expected that the Corporation will be taxable in 2005.  Depending on developments, it is possible the Corporation will be taxable in 2006.  At the end of 2003 the Corporation had tax pools and loss carry forwards that would preclude the Corporation paying taxes until it had made over $8,000,000.00 in net revenue.

Definitions and Notes

In the tables set forth in "Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information" and elsewhere in this Schedule "B", unless otherwise indicated, the following definitions and other notes are applicable.

1.

"Gross" means:

(a)

in relation to the Corporation's interest in production and reserves, its "gross reserves", which are the Corporation's interest (operating and non-operating) share before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interest of the Corporation;

(b)

in relation to wells, the total number of wells in which the Corporation has an interest; and

(c)

in relation to properties, the total area of properties in which the Corporation has an interest.

2.

"Net" means:

(a)

in relation to the Corporation's interest in production and reserves, its "net reserves", which are the Corporation's interest (operating and non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus the Corporation's royalty interest in production of reserves;

(b)

in relation to wells, the number of wells obtained by aggregating the Corporation's working interest in each of its gross wells; and

(c)

in relation to the Corporation's interest in a property, the total area in which the Corporation has an interest multiplied by the working interest owned by the Corporation.

3.

Definitions used for reserve categories are as follows:

(a)

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on:

-

analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data;

-

the use of established technology; and

-

specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable.

(b)

Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

(c)

Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable.  It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.

(d)

Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves.  It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

Development and Production Status

Each of the reserve categories (proved and probable) may be divided into developed and undeveloped categories:

(e)

Developed reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production.  The developed category may be subdivided into producing and non-producing.

(i)

Developed producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate.  These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

(ii)

Developed non-producing reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut-in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

(f)

Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production.  They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable) to which they are assigned.

In multi-well pools it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed non-producing.  This allocation should be based on the estimator's assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.

Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves

The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are applicable to individual reserves entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves estimates are presented).  Reported reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:

-

At least a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves.

-

At least a 50 percent probability that the quantities recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

A quantitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties.  However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability.  In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.

4.

Forecast prices and costs

Future prices and costs that are:

(a)

generally acceptable as being a reasonable outlook of the future; and

(b)

if, and only to the extent that, there are fixed or presently determinable future prices or costs to which the Corporation is legally bound by a contractual or other obligation to supply a physical product, including those for an extension period of a contract that is likely to be extended, those prices or costs rather than the prices and costs referred to in paragraph (a).

5.

Constant prices and costs

Prices and costs used in an estimate that are:

(a)

the Corporation's prices and costs as at the effective date of the estimation, held constant throughout the estimated lives of the properties to which the estimate applies; and

(b)

if, and only to the extent that, there are fixed or presently determinable future prices or costs to which the Corporation is legally bound by a contractual or other obligation to supply a physical product, including those for an extension period of a contract that is likely to be extended, those prices or costs rather than the prices and costs referred to in paragraph (a).

For the purposes of paragraph (a), the Corporation's prices are the posted prices for oil and the spot price for gas, after historical adjustments for transportation, gravity and other factors.

6.

Future income tax expense

Future income tax expenses are estimated:

(a)

making appropriate allocations of estimated unclaimed costs and losses carried forward for tax purposes;

(b)

without deducting estimated future costs that are not deductible in computing taxable income;

(c)

taking into account estimated tax credits and allowances; and

(d)

applying to the future pre-tax net cash flows relating to the Corporation's oil and gas activities the appropriate year-end statutory rates, taking into account future tax rates already legislated.

7.

"Development well" means a well drilled inside the established limits of an oil and gas reservoir, or in close proximity to the edge of the reservoir, to the depth of a stratigraphic location horizon known to be productive.

8.

"Development costs" means costs incurred to obtain access to reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas from reserves.  More specifically, development costs, including applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

(a)

gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines and power lines to the extent necessary in developing the reserves;

(b)

drill and equip development wells, development type stratigraphic test wells and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment and wellhead assembly;

(c)

acquire, construct and install production facilities such as flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems; and

(d)

provide improved recovery systems.

9.

"Exploration well" means a well that is not a development well, a service well or a stratigraphic test well.

10.

"Exploration costs" means costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects that may contain oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory type stratigraphic test wells.  Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property and after acquiring the property.  Exploration costs, which include applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

(a)

costs of topographical, geochemical, geological and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews and others conducting those studies;

(b)

costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties, such as delay rentals, taxes (other than income and capital taxes) on properties, legal costs for title defence, and the maintenance of land and lease records;

(c)

dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions;

(d)

costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells; and

(e)

costs of drilling exploratory type stratigraphic test wells.

11.

"Service well" means a well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field.  Wells in this class are drilled for the following specific purposes:  gas injection (natural gas, propane, butane or flue gas), water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt water disposal, water supply for injection, observation or injection for combustion.

12.

Numbers may not add due to rounding.

13.

The estimates of future net revenue presented do not represent fair market value.

14.

Disclosure provided herein in respect of boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.  A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf : 1 bbls is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

15.

Estimated future abandonment and reclamation costs related to a property have been taken into account by M&B in determining reserves that should be attributable to a property and in determining the aggregate future net revenue therefrom, there was deducted the reasonable estimated future well abandonment costs.

16.

Both the constant and forecast price and cost assumptions assume the continuance of current laws and regulations.

17.

After tax cash flows reflect full write-offs in the applicable tax year which creates a tax credit in 2004.  Corporate general and administrative expenses and financing costs are not deducted.

18.

Operating and capital costs were based on current costs escalated to the date the cost was incurred.  Reserves estimated to meet the standards of NI 51-101 of constant prices and costs are based on unescalated operating and capital costs.  Capital costs were either provided by the Corporation (and reviewed by M&B for reasonableness) or determined by M&B taking into account well capacity, facility requirement and distance to markets.  Facility expenditures for shut-in gas are forecast to occur in the month prior to the well's first production.  In evaluations conducted for the purposes of NI 51-101, well abandonment costs have been included and these costs were either provided by the Corporation (and reviewed by M&B for reasonableness) or estimated by M&B based on its experience.  For undeveloped reserve estimates, site reclamation costs are also included for the purpose of determining whether reserves should be attributed to that property in the first year in which the reserves are considered for attribution to the property.

19.

The extent and character of ownership and all factual data supplied to M&B were accepted by M&B as represented.  No field inspection was conducted by M&B.

Management's Discussion And Analysis

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Spearhead's operating and financial results (the "MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements of Spearhead for the six months ending June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and the audited consolidated financial statements of Spearhead for the years ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 together with the accompanying notes, all of which are contained in Schedule "H" to this Information Circular.  All financial information is reported in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") unless otherwise noted.  See "Forward Looking and Other Cautionary Statements".

This MD&A presents and discusses results on a boe basis.  This presentation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.  A boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl (barrel) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.  All boe conversions in this report are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

A summary of the Corporation's financial results for the period is as follows:

Cash flow from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital. This is considered a key measure as it demonstrates the Corporation's ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment. Cash flow from operations may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

For further details on recent equity financings completed by Spearhead, refer to "General Development and Description of the Business of Spearhead – General".

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2002

Production

The Corporation's daily oil production averaged 21 boed for the twelve months of 2003, down from 22 boed during the same period of 2002, which represents a decrease of 4%.  The Corporation's revenue increased in spite of the decline in production because of gross over-riding royalities on production from farmed out wells at Joffre and Suffield.

Revenues

Revenues grew by 22% to $339,792 for the twelve months of 2003 as compared to $298,830 during the equivalent period in 2002.  Crude oil from the Suffield property is sold daily into the Saskatchewan spot market.  Spearhead also receives processing revenue and overriding royalty revenue from this property.  Spearhead also receives revenue from a gas well in Prairie River, Alberta.

Royalties

All of Spearheads' royalty expense is associated with its principal properties in the form of crown and gross over-riding royalties.  Royalty expenses equalled $45,396 ($5.92/boe) for the twelve month reporting period ending December 31, 2003 as compared to $20,000 ($2.55/boe) for the same period in 2002.

Expenses

Operating expenses were $139,715 ($18.46/boe) for the twelve months of 2003 as compared to $155,600 ($19.75/boe) for the same period in 2002.

General and administrative expenses for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003 equalled $585,797 as compared to $433,041 for the same period in 2002.

During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003, the Corporation incurred interest expense of $635,400 as compared to $616,665 for the same period in 2002.  This increase is primarily due to a 10% convertible debenture that was issued in September 2003 for $990,000.

Depreciation, Depletion, Accretion and Taxes

Spearhead recorded depreciation, depletion and accretion ("DD&A") of $175,028 ($23.13/boe) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $94,061 ($12.01/boe) for the same period in 2002.

For the reporting period ended December 31, the Corporation did not pay any current (cash) taxes during 2003 or 2002.

Capital Expenditures

Spearhead spent $322,233 on capital programs for the twelve months of 2003 as compared to $2,040,012 during the same period of 2002.  In 2003, the amount consists of approximately $58,250 on land and lease costs, $147,610 on geological and geophysical costs, and $116,373 on drilling, completing, and equipping costs at Spearhead's core areas.

Cash Flow

Increased interest expense negatively impacted cash flow for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2003.  Funds used in operations equalled $966,902 for the twelve months of 2003 as compared to $881,386 for the same period in 2002.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 as Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

Production

The Corporation's daily oil production averaged 22 boed for the twelve months of 2002, up from 19 boed during the same period of 2001 which represents an increase of 16%.

Revenues

Revenues grew by 130% to $298,830 for the twelve months of 2002 as compared to $129,715 during the equivalent period in 2001.  The Suffield property is Spearheads' only property to yield revenues, and it sells its crude oil daily into the Saskatchewan spot market.  Spearhead also receives processing revenue and overriding royalty revenue from this property.

Royalties

All of Spearhead's royalty expense is associated with the Suffield property in the form of crown or gross over-riding royalties.  Since the Corporation does not have any production in Alberta, it is not entitled to any ARTC.

Royalty expenses equalled $20,127 ($2.55/boe) for the twelve month reporting period ending December 31, 2002 as compared to $35,596 ($5.07/boe) for the same period in 2001.  This decrease in royalty expense per boe in 2002 as compared to 2001 is primarily the result of lower commodity prices in 2002.  Royalty expense, as a percentage of sales, dropped to 8.2% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2002, as compared to 21.5% for the same period in 2001.  This decrease is primarily the result of higher oil production in 2002 coupled with constant overriding royalties.

Expenses

Operating expenses were $155,600 ($19.75/boe) for the twelve months of 2002 as compared to $85,544 ($12.18/boe) for the same period in 2001.  Operating costs per boe increased in 2002 due to the high electrical costs needed at the Suffield battery.

General and administrative expenses for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2002 equalled $433,041 as compared to $470,209 for the same period in 2001.

During the twelve month period ending December 31, 2002, the Corporation incurred interest expense of $616,665 as compared to $198,132 for the same period in 2001.  This increase is primarily due to an 8% convertible debenture that was issued on December 12, 2001 for $5,000,000.

Depreciation, Depletion, Accretion and Taxes

The Corporation recorded DD&A of $94,601 ($12.01/boe) for the twelve months ending December 31, 2002 compared to $5,388,321 for the same period of 2001.  In 2001, the Corporation took a write-down of its oil and gas assets.

For the reporting period ending December 31, the Corporation did not pay any current (cash) taxes during 2002 or 2001.

Capital Expenditures

Spearhead spent $2,040,012 on capital programs for the twelve months of 2002 as compared to $4,272,621 during the same period of 2001.  The year 2002 amount consists of approximately $341,595 on land and lease costs, $424,308 on geological and geophysical costs, and $1,267,272 on drilling, completing, and equipping costs at Spearhead's core areas as well as $6,837 in other assets.  During the same period in 2001, $1,874,897 was spent on land and lease costs, $154,610 on geological and geophysical costs, $2,219,438 on drilling, completing, and equipping costs as well as $23,676 on other assets.

Cash Flow

Increased interest expense negatively impacted cash flow for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2002.  Spearhead's funds used in operations equalled $881,386 for the twelve months of 2002 as compared to $589,353 for the same period in 2001.  This decrease in cash flow reflects an increase in interest paid due to the issuance of a $5,000,000 debenture coupled with lower commodity prices for 2002.

Risks And Uncertainties

Spearhead is exposed to operational risks inherent in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas.  The Corporation's operations may be delayed or unsuccessful for many reasons, including cost overruns, lower oil and natural gas prices, equipment shortages, mechanical and technical difficulties and labour problems.  Drilling activities, in particular, are subject to many risks and uncertainties including unforeseen technical problems that could lead to blowouts and the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be encountered.  In addition, there are numerous uncertainties in estimating oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future production, costs and expenses, and the results, timing and costs of exploration and development projects.  The oil and natural gas industry is extremely competitive, and Spearhead may not be able to compete successfully with larger, well-established competitors.  Any of these risks could result in the total quantity or timing of production to vary significantly from reserves and production estimates made by management or others.

An insurance program is maintained to mitigate risks and to protect against significant losses, while maintaining levels of risk within the Corporation, which management believes to be acceptable.  While Spearhead believes that its liability, property and business interruption insurance is adequate and consistent with industry participants of Spearhead's size, the Corporation is unable to obtain insurance to cover all risks within the business or in amounts to cover all possible claims.

The prices of and demand for oil and natural gas fluctuate for reasons largely beyond the Corporation's control.  Both oil and natural gas prices are extremely volatile and very difficult to predict.  Significant downward fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas may have a significant impact on Spearhead's revenue.  Significant upward fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas may increase the competition in the industry and restrict the Corporation's ability to compete on a cost-effective basis.  

Spearhead will monitor and, when appropriate, may utilize derivative financial instruments and physical delivery contracts to hedge its exposure to commodity price fluctuation risks.  However, there are many risks inherent in any commodity hedging program including; counter-party risk, foregoing increases in price above the hedge price, margin calls, inability to physically deliver the commodity, paying royalties on a higher market or reference price, and negative public market sentiment on an out-of-the-money hedging program.

Spearhead's operations may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies, regulations or taxation concerning the Canadian oil and natural gas industry.  Changes in any of these areas may significantly increase the Corporation's costs or adversely affect its ability to conduct business.

The Corporation's operations are highly dependent on its executive officers and key personnel.  The unexpected loss of the services of any of these people could have an adverse effect on the Corporation.

Also see "Risk Factors".

Dividends

Since incorporation, Spearhead has not paid any dividends on the Spearhead Shares. Any decision to pay dividends on the Spearhead Shares in the future will be dependent upon the financial requirements of Spearhead to finance future growth, the financial condition of Spearhead and other factors which the Board of Directors of Spearhead may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

Notes:

(1)

Douglas Street, together with his spouse, acquired 1,040,000 Spearhead Shares and a $90,000 convertible debenture.  This debenture was converted into Spearhead Shares on September 30, 2003.

(2)

Paramount had received a $5 million secured convertible debenture in 2001 which, if converted on the basis of one Spearhead Share for every $0.60 of principal (subsequently amended to one Spearhead Share for every $0.50 of principal), would entitle Paramount to over 10% of the issued and outstanding Spearhead Shares.  Upon the subsequent grant of a $990,000 convertible debenture, Paramount was deemed by the TSXV to be a principal holder because of its ability to convert its debentures into a significant number of Spearhead Shares.  This convertible debenture was paid off in full on July 16, 2004.

(3)

Paramount was the only placee under this private placement.  This convertible debenture was paid off in full on July 16, 2004.

Escrowed Securities

To the knowledge of the directors and the officers of the Corporation, as of August 23, 2004, no securities of the Corporation are held in escrow.

Principal Shareholders

To the knowledge of the directors and the officers of the Corporation, as of the date hereof, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control over, Spearhead Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights of the outstanding Spearhead Shares, except Douglas Street, who beneficially owns, directly and indirectly, or exercises control over 3,768,500 Spearhead Shares or 21.9% of the issued and outstanding Spearhead Shares.  Of these 1,798,300 Spearhead Shares (10.4%) are held by his immediate family.  Following the Amalgamation, Douglas Street will own, directly and indirectly, or exercise control over 3,881,000 Amalco Shares (which takes into account the 150,000 common shares of Camflo owned by him prior to the Amalgamation), being 10.5% of the total issued and outstanding Amalco Shares.  In addition, Paramount could be considered a principal shareholder on the basis that it could acquire up to 4,233,890 Spearhead Shares upon the conversion of its outstanding debenture in the principal amount of $2,116,945.  Following the Amalgamation, Paramount will hold a convertible debenture in the amount of $2,116,945 to be paid by Amalco on November 15, 2004, unless converted.

Notes:

(1)

As of the date of the last information circular of Spearhead, the members of the Audit Committee were James Riddell, Terry Prokopy and Douglas Street, however, since Terry Prokopy resigned effective July 19, 2004, the entire Board of Directors currently acts as the Audit Committee.  Spearhead does not have an Executive Committee.

(2)

The terms of office of all directors of Spearhead will expire on the date of the next annual meeting of the shareholders of Spearhead, or upon the appointment of successor directors pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement.

As at the date hereof, the officers and directors of Spearhead beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, as a group, 6,051,600 Spearhead Shares, or approximately 35.1% of the issued and outstanding Spearhead Shares.  The officers and directors also hold, in aggregate, stock options to purchase 690,000 Spearhead Shares.  If all such options were exercised, the officers and directors, as a group, would beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, approximately 39.1% of the outstanding Spearhead Shares (on a fully diluted basis).  In addition, the officers and directors may acquire the 3,300,000 Warrants currently held by Paramount (see "Executive Compensation – Employment Contracts in this Schedule "B").  Assuming the issuance of 17,232,105 Spearhead Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation and assuming none of the directors or officers of Spearhead acquire any further Spearhead Shares nor sell any Spearhead Shares, the directors and officers of Spearhead will own or control, directly or indirectly, as a group, 6,051,600 Amalco Shares representing 15% of the issued and outstanding Amalco Shares.

To the knowledge of management of Spearhead, there has been no director or officer of the Corporation, or any shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation that is, or within the 10 years before the date hereof has been, a director or officer of any other issuer that, while that person was acting in that capacity:

(a)

was the subject of a cease trade or similar order, or an order that denied the other issuer access to any exemptions under Canadian securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

(b)

became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

To the knowledge of management of Spearhead, there has been no director or officer of the Corporation, or any shareholder holding sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation, or a personal holding company of any such person that has, within the 10 years before the date hereof, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the director or officer.

To the knowledge of management of Spearhead, no director or officer of the Corporation, or any shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Corporation to affect materially the control of the Corporation, has:

(a)

been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to Canadian securities legislation or by a Canadian securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with the Canadian securities regulatory authority; or

(b)

been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of Spearhead and its subsidiaries are associated with other reporting issuers or other corporations which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Some of these private and public companies may from time to time, be involved in business transactions or banking relationships or other business relationships which may create situations in which conflict may arise. In accordance with the ABCA, directors who have a material interest or any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Corporation are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. Certain of the directors of the Corporation have either other employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, these directors of the Corporation will only be able to devote part of their time to the affairs of the Corporation.

Executive Compensation

As of the most recently completed financial year end, the Corporation had three executive officers.  The aggregate cash compensation paid to the executive officers of the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $276,500.

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, the compensation paid by the Corporation to the individual who served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation in 2003 (the "Named Executive Officer").  Spearhead does not have a Chief Financial Officer.  No other executive officer had total salary and bonus in excess of $150,000; however, pursuant to management contracts which allow for bonuses and accrued salary, other executive officers may attain this compensation level and therefore have been included as well.  For more information on these contracts, refer to "Executive Compensation – Employment Contracts".

Pursuant to management contracts, one-half of the base salary for Douglas Street and Brian Murray was to accrue from 2002 until March 31, 2004 and be payable on such date.  By mutual agreement, this date was extended until September 30, 2004.  

Stock Options

On June 11, 2003, the shareholders of Spearhead approved a new stock option plan (the "Plan").  Pursuant to the Plan, the board of directors may allocate non-transferable and non-assignable Options to directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation or to a company all of whose securities are owned by such persons.

The aggregate number of Spearhead Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Plan (together with any prior stock option plans) may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Spearhead Shares outstanding (on a non-diluted basis).  Further, the aggregate number of Spearhead Shares issuable on exercise of the options granted to any one individual shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Spearhead Shares issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis).  The number of Options and the exercise price thereof is set by the board of directors, or committee thereof, at the time of grant, provided that the exercise price may not be less than the discounted market price of the Spearhead Shares on the TSXV.  The Options granted under the Plan may be exercisable for a period not exceeding five (5) years from the date of grant, subject to the earlier termination of the optionee's employment, upon the optionee ceasing to be an employee, officer, director, consultant of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, or upon the optionee retiring, becoming permanently disabled or dying, and may vest at such times as the board of directors may determine at the time of grant, subject to the rules of any stock exchange or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. Options must be exercised within ninety (90) days of termination of employment or cessation of position with the Corporation, provided that if the cessation of office, directorship, consulting arrangement or employment was by reason of death, the option must be exercised within six (6) months after such death, subject to the expiry date of such option.

Termination of Employment, Changes in Responsibility and Employment Contracts

The Corporation has written contracts of employment with its senior managers, being Douglas Street, Douglas Wine, Brian Murray and Harvey Opseth.  These contracts provided for payment to each individual of ten thousand dollars per month in base salary, of which half was to accrue until the end of the contract.  In addition, these senior managers participated in a bonus plan based on 8.5% of the increase in the value of Spearhead assets during the term of the contracts.  The original term of these contracts was January 1, 2002 until March 31, 2004, but these were extended by mutual agreement until September 30, 2004.  Effective September 2004, there will be accrued salary and bonuses payable to the senior managers totalling $1,029,063 for their services during the last three years.  It has been agreed that the accrued salary and bonuses, when they are paid in September, will be used to exercise the 3,300,000 Warrants currently outstanding.  These transferable warrants are currently held by Paramount; however, Paramount has agreed to transfer the Warrants for a nominal amount to the senior managers for exercise.  It has been agreed that the cost of the accrued salaries and bonuses over the last three years for all four individuals will be $1,029,063 and the exercise of the warrants will bring in $990,000.

Other Compensation Issues

The Corporation does not have any long term incentive plans or similar plans for remunerating directors or executive officers.  

Indebtedness Of Directors And Executive Officers

The aggregate indebtedness (other than routine indebtedness) of all the directors, current and former executive and senior officers, and employees of the Corporation as at December 31, 2003 was nil.  The aggregate indebtedness of all officers, directors, employees and former officers, directors and employees to the Corporation as at August 23, 2004 is nil.  

Other than as set forth elsewhere herein, no individual who is, or at any time during the most recently completed financial year of Spearhead was, a director or executive officer of Spearhead or any of their respective associates or affiliates, has been, at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or has indebtedness to another entity that is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation.

For details of routine indebtedness of joint venture partners who could be considered related, refer to the subsequent event notes of the financial statements of Spearhead included in Schedule "H".

Compensation of Directors

The Corporation currently has three (3) directors.  The directors were not paid for attendance at board and committee meetings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, however, the Corporation reimburses directors in respect of any reasonable expenses incurred by them while acting in their capacity as directors.  No pension or retirement benefits are payable to the directors.  During the year ended December 31, 2003, options to purchase Spearhead Shares were granted to directors as disclosed under "Options and Warrants to Purchase Spearhead Shares".  A total of 450,000 stock options were exercised by directors during that same period.  See "Executive Compensation - Options Exercised During the Most Recently Completed Financial Year and Financial Year End Option Values", as all of such directors are also officers.

Risk Factors

An investment in Spearhead Shares should be considered speculative due to the nature of the involvement in Spearhead's business of exploration for, development and production of, oil and natural gas reserves.  Spearhead has neither a long history of earnings nor has it ever paid dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate foreseeable future.  Oil and natural gas exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  There is no assurance that further commercial quantities of oil and natural gas will be discovered by Spearhead.  The marketability of oil and natural gas acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Spearhead.  These factors include reservoir characteristics, market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment and government regulation.

The petroleum industry is competitive in all its phases. Spearhead competes with numerous other participants in the search for and the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties and in the marketing of oil and natural gas.  Spearhead's competitors include oil companies which have greater financial resources, staff and facilities than those of Spearhead.  Competitive factors in the distribution and marketing of oil and natural gas include price and methods and reliability of delivery.

Spearhead's ability to increase reserves in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for exploratory drilling.  Competitive factors in the distribution and marketing of oil and natural gas include price and methods and reliability of delivery.

The marketability of oil and natural gas which may be acquired by Spearhead will also be affected by numerous other factors beyond the control of Spearhead.  These factors include market fluctuations, the world price of oil, the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment and government regulations, including regulations relating to price controls, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, the import and export of oil and natural gas and environmental protection.  The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.  Depending on future exploration and development plans, Spearhead may require additional financing which may not be available or, if available, may not be available on favourable terms.

Oil and natural gas exploration operations are subject to all the risks and hazards typically associated with such operations, including hazards such as fire, explosion, blowouts, cratering and oil spills, each of which could result in substantial damage to oil and natural gas wells, producing facilities, other property and the environment or in personal injury.  Although Spearhead maintains liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits, in which event Spearhead could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial condition.  Oil and natural gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations.

Both oil and natural gas prices are unstable and are subject to fluctuation. Any material decline in prices could result in a reduction of Spearhead's net production revenue.  The economics of producing from some wells may change as a result of lower prices, which could result in a reduction in the volumes of Spearhead's reserves.  Spearhead might also elect not to produce from certain wells at lower prices.  All of these factors could result in a material decrease in Spearhead's net production revenue causing a reduction in its acquisition, exploration and development activities.

The Corporation may manage the risk associated with changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates by, from time to time, entering into crude oil or natural gas price hedges and forward foreign exchange contracts.  To the extent that the Corporation engages in risk management activities related to commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, it will be subject to credit risks associated with counter parties with which it contracts.

There is some degree of geological and engineering risk associated with probable reserves.

To the extent Spearhead is not the operator of its oil and gas properties, Spearhead will be dependent on such operators for the timing of activities related to such properties and will be largely unable to direct or control the activities of the operators.  In addition, the success of Spearhead will be largely dependent upon the performance of its key employees.

In addition, the success of the Corporation will be largely dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees.  The Corporation does not have any key man insurance policies, and therefore there is a risk that the death or departure of any member of management or any key employee could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.  In assessing the risk of an investment in the Spearhead Shares, potential investors should recognize that they are relying on the ability and integrity of the management of Spearhead.

Although title reviews may be done according to industry standards prior to the purchase of some natural gas and oil producing properties or the commencement of drilling wells, such reviews do not guarantee or certify that an unforeseen defect in the chain of title will not arise to defeat the claim of Spearhead which could result in a reduction of the revenue received by Spearhead.

From time to time Spearhead may enter into transactions to acquire assets or shares of other corporations.  These transactions may be financed partially or wholly with debt, which may increase Spearhead's debt levels above industry standards.

The Corporation's activities may be financed partially or wholly with debt, which may increase the Corporation's debt levels above industry standards.  Neither the Corporation's articles nor its by-laws limit the amount of indebtedness that the Corporation may incur.  The level of the Corporation's indebtedness from time to time could impair the Corporation's ability to obtain additional financing in the future on a timely basis to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.

Spearhead may from time to time increase its debt to complete acquisitions of additional landholdings or to undertake development plans, which additional debt may adversely affect Spearhead's profitability.  As well, Spearhead may require additional financing which may not be available or, if available, may not be available on favourable terms.

Certain directors of Spearhead are also directors of other oil and gas companies and as such may, in certain circumstances, have a conflict of interest requiring them to abstain from certain decisions.  Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies of the applicable statutes and laws.

The Corporation's future oil and natural gas reserves, production, and cash flows to be derived therefrom are highly dependent on the Corporation successfully acquiring or discovering new reserves.  Without the continual addition of new reserves, any existing reserves the Corporation may have at any particular time and the production therefrom will decline over time as such existing reserves are exploited.  A future increase in the Corporation's reserves will depend not only on the Corporation's ability to develop any properties it may have from time to time, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation's future exploration and development efforts will result in the discovery and development of additional commercial accumulations of oil and natural gas.

The operations of the Corporation may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration and development of its projects.

The Corporation's cash flow from its properties may not be sufficient to fund its ongoing activities and implement its business plan.  From time to time, the Corporation may require additional financing in order to carry out its oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development activities.  Failure to obtain such financing on a timely basis could cause the Corporation to forfeit its interest in certain properties, miss certain acquisition opportunities and reduce or terminate its operations.  If the Corporation's future revenues from its future reserves decrease as a result of lower oil and natural gas prices or otherwise, it will affect the Corporation's ability to expend the necessary capital to replace its reserves or to maintain its production.  If the Corporation's cash flow from operations is not sufficient to satisfy its capital expenditure requirements, there can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available to meet these requirements or be available on favourable terms.

Oil and natural gas exploration and development activities are dependent on the availability of drilling and related equipment in the particular areas where such activities will be conducted.  Demand for such equipment or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to the Corporation and may delay exploration and development activities.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and cash flows to be derived from exploration and production activities, including many factors that are beyond the control of the Corporation.  The reserve and cash flow information set forth herein (or incorporated by reference) represent estimates only.  The reserves and estimated future net cash flow from the Corporation's properties have been independently evaluated effective December 31, 2003.  These evaluations include a number of assumptions relating to factors such as initial production rates, production decline rates, ultimate recovery of reserves, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of production, future prices of oil and natural gas, operating costs and royalties and other government levies that may be imposed over the producing life of the reserves.  These assumptions were based on price forecasts in use at the date the relevant evaluations were prepared and many of these assumptions are subject to change and are beyond the control of the Corporation.  Actual production and cash flows derived therefrom will vary from these evaluations, and such variations could be material.  The foregoing evaluations are based in part on the assumed success of activities intended to be undertaken in future years.  The reserves and estimated cash flows to be derived therefrom contained in such evaluations will be reduced to the extent that such activities do not achieve the level of success assumed in the evaluations.

Canada is a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has ratified the Kyoto Protocol established thereunder to set legally binding targets to reduce nation-wide emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other so-called "greenhouse gases".  The Government of Canada has put forward a Climate Change Plan for Canada which suggests further legislation will set greenhouse gases emission reduction requirements for various industrial activities, including oil and gas exploration and production.  Spearhead's exploration and production facilities and other operations will emit greenhouse gases which may subject Spearhead to legislation regulating greenhouse gases.  Future federal legislation, together with provincial emission reduction requirements, may require the reduction of emissions or emissions intensity from the Corporation's operations and facilities. The direct and indirect costs of these regulations may adversely affect the business of the Corporation.

Oil and gas operations are subject to extensive Canadian federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing exploration, development, transportation, production, exports, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and redemption of the environment, mine safety, hazardous materials, toxic substances, taxation and other matters.  It is believed that the Corporation is in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.  Amendments to current laws and regulations governing oil and gas operations and the more stringent implementation thereof are actively considered from time to time and the implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation.  In addition, taxation laws and regulations as well as the current administrative practices of both the federal and provincial tax authorities may be amended or construed in such a way that is detrimental to the Corporation or its activities.

Oil and natural gas operations (exploration, production, pricing, marketing and transportation) are subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government which may be amended from time to time. Spearhead's oil and natural gas operations may also be subject to compliance with international, federal, provincial and local laws, regulations and policies controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.

Information Concerning the Oil and Natural Gas Industry

Government Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government. Outlined below are some of the more significant aspects of the legislation, regulations and agreements governing the oil and gas industry.  It is not expected that any of such controls or regulations would affect the operations of the Corporation in a manner materially different than they would affect other companies of similar size in the oil and natural gas industry.  All current legislation is a matter of public record and the Corporation is unable to predict what additional legislation or amendments may be enacted.

Pricing and Marketing – Oil

In Canada, producers of oil negotiate sales contracts directly with oil purchasers, with the result that the market determines the price of oil.  The price depends in part on oil quality, prices of competing fuels, distance to market, the value of the refined products and the supply/demand balance.  Oil exports may be made pursuant to export contracts with terms not exceeding one year in the case of light crude, and not exceeding two years in the case of heavy crude, provided that an order approving any such export has been obtained from the National Energy Board (the "NEB").  Any oil export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issue of such a license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.

Pricing and Marketing - Natural Gas

In Canada, the price of natural gas sold is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers.  Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to regulation by the NEB and the government of Canada.  Exporters are free to negotiate prices and other terms with purchasers, provided that the export contracts in excess of two years must continue to meet certain criteria prescribed by the NEB and the government of Canada.  As is the case with oil, natural gas exports for a term of less than two years must be made pursuant to an NEB order, or, in the case of exports for a longer duration, pursuant to an NEB license and Governor in Council approval.  The price received by the Corporation depends, in part, on the prices of competing natural gas and other substitute fuels, access to downstream transportation, distance to markets, length of the contract term, weather conditions, the supply and demand balance and other contractual terms.

The governments of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan also regulate the volume of natural gas which may be removed from those provinces for consumption elsewhere based on such factors as reserve availability, transportation arrangements and market considerations.

The North American Free Trade Agreement

On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") among the governments of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico became effective.  The NAFTA carries forward most of the material energy terms contained in the Canada ― U.S. Free Trade Agreement.  In the context of energy resources, Canada continues to remain free to determine whether exports to the U.S. or Mexico will be allowed provided that the restrictions are justified under certain provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and then only if the export restrictions do not: (i) reduce the proportion of energy resources exported relative to the total supply of the energy resource (based upon the proportion prevailing in the most recent 36 month period), (ii) impose an export price higher than the domestic price, and (iii) disrupt normal channels of supply. All three countries are prohibited from imposing minimum export or import price requirements.

NAFTA contemplates the reduction of Mexican restrictive trade practices in the energy sector and prohibits discriminatory border restrictions and export taxes.  The agreement also contemplates clearer disciplines on regulators to ensure fair implementation of any regulatory changes and to minimize disruption of contractual arrangements, which is important for Canadian natural gas exports.

The Kyoto Protocol

Canada is a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has ratified the Kyoto Protocol established thereunder to set legally binding targets to reduce nation-wide emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other so-called "greenhouse gases".  The Government of Canada has put forward a Climate Change Plan for Canada which suggests further legislation will set greenhouse gases emissions reduction requirements for various industrial activities, including oil and gas exploration and production.  Spearhead's exploration and production facilities and other operations will emit greenhouse gases which may subject Spearhead to legislation regulating greenhouse gases.  Future federal legislation, together with provision emission reduction requirements, may require the reduction of emissions or emissions intensity from the Corporation's operations and facilities.

Royalties and Incentives

In addition to federal regulation, the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan have legislation and regulations which govern land tenure, royalties, production rates, environmental protection and other matters.  The royalty regime is a significant factor in the profitability of oil and natural gas production.  Royalties payable on production from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the mineral owner and the lessee.  Crown royalties are determined by government regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the gross production, and the rate of royalties payable generally depends in part on the prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date, the method of recovery and the type or quality of the petroleum product produced.

Alberta

From time to time the governments of Canada and Alberta have established incentive programs which have included royalty rate reductions, royalty holidays and tax credits for the purpose of encouraging oil and natural gas exploration or enhanced production projects.

Regulations made pursuant to the Mines and Minerals Act (Alberta) provide various incentives for exploring and developing oil reserves in Alberta.  Oil produced from horizontal extensions commenced at least five years after the well was originally spudded may qualify for a royalty reduction.  A royalty exemption may be available on the first 8,000 cubic metres of production from a well that has not produced for a 12 month period, if production was resumed after September 30, 1992 and prior to February 1, 1993, or for a 24 month period if production was resumed after January 31, 1993.  Oil produced from pools discovered after September 30, 1992 is generally eligible for a 12 month royalty holiday, subject to a $1 million cap. Oil produced from low productivity wells, enhanced recovery schemes (such as injection wells) and experimental projects may also be subject to royalty reductions.

The royalty reserved to the Alberta Crown on gas production, subject to various incentives, is between 15% and 30%, in the case of new gas, and between 15% and 35%, in the case of old gas, depending upon a prescribed or corporate average reference price.  Under the newest natural gas royalty regulations governing natural gas produced after October 2002, pre-existing royalty exemptions are generally allowed to continue to their termination as determined under the previous regulations.  Solution gas and gas used or consumed in production operations are generally exempt from any royalty.  In the case of oil, the Alberta government generally collects lower royalties from eligible oil pools discovered after September 30, 1992, at which time royalty rates and rate caps were reduced on prior existing oil production.

In Alberta, a producer of oil or natural gas from certain properties is entitled to a credit against the royalties payable to the Crown by virtue of the Alberta Royalty Tax Credit program.  The Alberta Royalty Tax Credit is based on a price-sensitive formula, and is a function of the Royalty Tax Credit reference price ("RTCRP").  The RTCRP is set quarterly by the Minister of Energy, and is based on the oil and gas par prices for the previous calendar quarter.  The Alberta Royalty Tax Credit rate varies between 75% when the RTCRP falls below $100 per cubic metre, and 25% when the RTCRP exceeds $210 per cubic metre.  The Alberta Royalty Tax Credit rate is currently applied to a maximum of $2,000,000 of Alberta Crown Royalties payable for each producer or associated group of producers.  Crown royalties on production from producing properties acquired from corporations claiming maximum entitlement to Alberta Royalty Tax Credit will generally not be eligible for Alberta Royalty Tax Credit.  There is no assurance that the Alberta Royalty Tax Credit program will carry on indefinitely.  However, the Alberta Royalty Tax Credit program is based on a three year rolling term and there is currently no sunset provision.

There are no assurances that the government's programs or other incentives currently in place will remain so.  The termination of any of the current incentives may have a significant effect upon the Corporation.

Land Tenure

Crude oil and natural gas located in the western provinces is owned predominantly by the respective provincial governments.  Provincial governments grant rights to explore for and produce oil and natural gas pursuant to leases, licences and permits for varying terms, and on conditions set forth in provincial legislation, including requirements to perform specific work or make payments.  Oil and natural gas located in such provinces can also be privately owned. Rights to explore for and produce such oil and natural gas are granted by lease on such terms and conditions as may be negotiated.

Environmental Regulation

The oil and natural gas industry is subject to environmental regulation pursuant to local, provincial and federal legislation.  Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain oil and natural gas industry operations and can effect the location and operation of wells and other facilities and the extent to which exploration and development is permitted.  In addition, such legislation requires that well and facility sites be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of provincial authorities.  A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines or clean-up orders. Environmental legislation in the Province of Alberta has been consolidated into the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (the "EPEA"), which came into force on September 1, 1993.  The EPEA imposes strict environmental standards, reporting and monitoring obligations and significant penalties for non-compliance.  The EPEA also requires major energy projects to undergo an environmental assessment process which includes public participation and consultation.

The Corporation is committed to meeting its responsibilities to protect the environment wherever it operates and anticipates making increased expenditures of both a capital and expense nature, as a result of the increasingly stringent laws relating to the protection of the environment.  The Corporation's internal procedures are designed to ensure that the environmental aspects of new developments are taken into account prior to proceeding.  The Corporation believes that it is reasonable likely that the trend towards stricter standards in environmental legislation and regulation will continue.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of management, there are no legal proceedings material to Spearhead to which Spearhead or a subsidiary of Spearhead is a party or of which any of their respective property is the subject matter, nor are any such proceedings known to Spearhead to be contemplated.  

Interest of Management and Others in Material Transactions

Other than as disclosed below or elsewhere herein, no director or officer or principal shareholder, or any associate or affiliate of the foregoing, has or has had, any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction within the three years prior hereto or in any proposed transaction, which, in either case, has materially affected or will materially affect the Corporation.  

In April of 2001, Spearhead closed a private placement of convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $2,054,000.  Douglas Street's spouse received a convertible debenture in the amount of $200,000.  This debenture is convertible on the basis of one share for every $0.90 of principal outstanding.  Interest accrues at a rate of 10% per annum and is paid quarterly.  The maturity date of these debentures was extended to March 12, 2005 pursuant to agreements entered into by each of the holders and Spearhead.

In December of 2001, Paramount received a secured convertible debenture in the amount of $5 million.  If Paramount were to convert such debenture, it would be a principal shareholder of Spearhead.  James Riddell, a director and officer of Paramount, is also a director of Spearhead.  Pursuant to a series of agreements, the maturity date of this debenture was extended from December 12, 2003 to June 1, 2004.  Effective June 1, 2004, Paramount and Spearhead entered into the Amending Agreement in connection with the payment of $5 million to Paramount, which was used to pay off the two $990,000 debentures, the interest accrued to July 16, 2004 on each of these debentures and the $5 million debenture, with the balance to be applied to the principal amount owing under the $5 million debenture.  The Amending Agreement reduced the principal amount to $2,116,945, extended the maturity date to November 15, 2004 and reduced the conversion rate to one Spearhead Share for every $0.50 of principal outstanding.

Pursuant to an informal agreement with the directors and officers of Spearhead, Paramount has agreed to transfer the warrants it obtained in the September 2003 private placement to the directors and officers for their exercise.  For more information, see "Executive Compensation – Employment Contracts".
