THIRD QUARTER 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
Oil sales increased by $784,426 (or >60%) over Q3 2018 due to higher sales volumes ($878,875). Production increased over the respective period pursuant to the acquisition of a 35 percent net working interest and further incremental 15 percent net working interest in the producing properties located in Southwest Saskatchewan. These acquisitions were completed throughout the calendar year of 2018 and the second quarter 2019 from a joint venture partner in the Hearts Hills and Luseland properties.
Net Profit for the period was $153,853 compared to a loss of $11,926 in Q3 of 2018.
Operating costs were higher in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 as a result of increased production and additional workover and facility maintenance projects.
As at Sept 30, 2019, total net debt of $3,680,053 remained on the Corporation's credit facilities, representing a reduction of $1,235,072 since Dec 31, 2018.
2019 OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE
The Corporation's year-to-date operational success is a direct result of properly executing its growth strategy to re-invest revenues into the further acquisition, development and expansion of its assets. Reactivations and workovers have remained constant throughout the year and will continue at this rate throughout 2019 and into 2020. Prospera is now firmly focused on near-term production enhancements while responsibly balancing efficiency with environmental awareness. The Corporation will continue to expand its inventory of high-quality exploitation opportunities while diligently pursuing additional working interest in its already producing properties, further addressing cost and debt reduction and aggressively seeking additional opportunities through strategic acquisitions and divestitures.

Production volumes are commonly expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to convert oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved analysis of results and comparisons with other industry participants. The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalent method and does not represent an economic value equivalency at the wellhead.

Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as "will", "may", "should", "anticipate", "expects" and similar expressions.
