Yoho Resources Inc. Announces Fiscal Q3 2014 Financial Results

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 27, 2014) - Yoho Resources Inc. ("Yoho" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:YO) has filed today on SEDAR the financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and the related managements' discussion and analysis ("MD&A"). Copies of these documents may be found on www.sedar.com.

Highlights

--  Yoho's production during fiscal Q3 2014 averaged 1,563 boe per day (27%
    oil and natural gas liquids ("NGL")). Production for fiscal Q3 was
    negatively impacted by infrastructure issues in the Kaybob area, which
    are expected to be resolved by early September 2014 at which time Yoho's
    Duvernay production will be restored to 100% of capacity. Yoho estimates
    that current production capability for the company to be approximately
    2,400 - 2,500 boe per day, consisting of 1,200 boe per day of
    conventional production and 1,200 - 1,300 boe per day of Duvernay
    production.  
--  Yoho generated funds from operations for fiscal Q3 2014 of $2.2 million
    ($0.04 per share basic and diluted). Operating netbacks for fiscal Q3
    2014 were $24.44 per boe. 
--  Total exploration and development expenditures for the first nine months
    of fiscal 2014 were $25.1 million and included the costs for drilling 5
    (2.8 net) and completing 2 (0.8 net) gas wells. The two wells that were
    completed in fiscal Q3 came on production during fiscal Q4. 
--  Total net debt was $12.3 million at June 30, 2014. 
--  For fiscal 2015, Yoho plans to participate in up to 8 (3.5 net) Kaybob
    horizontal wells targeting the Duvernay Formation, the details of which
    are currently being finalized. Yoho has demonstrated that recent changes
    to completion methodology have been very successful and will utilize
    this methodology where applicable in the upcoming drilling program.

OPERATIONS UPDATE

Kaybob Duvernay

During fiscal Q3, Yoho continued with its Duvernay drilling program with results previously press released on July 9, 2014. The 16-04-62-21 W5 well (50% working interest) was placed on production August 8, 2014 for 5 days before being shut-in for the SemCams KA gas plant turnaround. Over the 95 hour flow period, the well produced a cumulative 7.1 MMcf natural gas and 1,922 barrels of condensate and NGL, which equates to a daily rate of 780 (390 net) boe per day (270 barrels of NGL per MMcf). Approximately 68% of the NGL produced from the 16-04 well was condensate. During this initial flow period, the 16-04 well was flowing at an average tubing pressure of 38,000 kPa. The 16-02-60-19 W5 (33.33% working interest) was placed on-stream July 21, 2014 for a period of 23 days. Over this time, the well averaged 600 (200 net) boe per day consisting of 2.0 MMcf per day and 267 barrels per day of NGL. Approximately 65% of the NGL produced from the 16-02 was condensate.

With over 200 Duvernay wells drilled or licensed in the general Kaybob area, significant infrastructure activity is underway in the area. New gas plants have recently been constructed and upgrades are being made to existing gas plants, roads and pipelines. As a result of this infrastructure activity and both planned and unplanned maintenance issues on existing gas plants and pipelines, Yoho has experienced a substantial amount of shut-in time for existing Duvernay production during the period from May to September 2014. These restrictions have also delayed on-stream dates for recently drilled wells. Yoho expects that these temporary shut-in issues, which include the Pembina Pipelines liquids system, TransCanada Pipelines, and SemCams K3 and SemCams KA gas plant turnarounds, will all be resolved by early September 2014 at which time Yoho's Duvernay production will be restored to 100% of capacity. Yoho estimates that current production capability for the Company to be approximately 2,400 - 2,500 boe per day, consisting of 1,200 boe per day of conventional production and 1,200 - 1,300 boe per day of Duvernay production.

OUTLOOK

For fiscal 2014, Yoho is currently planning a total capital program of between $30.0 and $32.0 million, a decrease of $10 million from the previous estimated capital of between $40 and $42 million as wells which were expected to be drilled in fiscal Q4 have been delayed to early fiscal 2015. Yoho estimates that, due to the previously mentioned production restrictions and delays in anticipated on-stream dates of non-operated Duvernay wells, overall production for fiscal 2014 will average approximately 1,700 boe per day with cash flow estimated between $11.0 and $12.0 million, with debt at fiscal year-end estimated at $14.5 - $15.5 million. For fiscal 2015, Yoho plans to participate in up to 8 (3.5 net) Kaybob horizontal wells targeting the Duvernay Formation, the details of which are currently being finalized. Yoho has demonstrated that recent changes to completion methodology have been very successful and will utilize this methodology where applicable in the upcoming drilling program. Yoho is also planning to drill at least one horizontal well at Inga, British Columbia, targeting the Montney formation.

BOE Equivalency

Barrel of oil equivalents or BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl may be a misleading indication of value.

Future Oriented Financial Information

This press release, in particular the information in respect of anticipated cash flows, may contain Future Oriented Financial Information ("FOFI") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. The FOFI has been prepared by management of Yoho to provide an outlook of Yoho's activities and results. The FOFI has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the heading "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and assumptions with respect to production rates and commodity prices. The actual results of operations of Yoho and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein, and such variation may be material. Yoho and its management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments.
