Forward Looking Information & Statements

This press release contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to the use of escrowed funds and expected timing of the completion of the proposed private placement. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information typically uses words such as "anticipate", "believe", "project", "expect", "goal", "plan", "intend" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, statements that actions, events or conditions "may", "would", "could" or "will" be taken or occur in the future. The forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Long Run's management, including expectations and assumptions concerning the state of the economy and the exploration and production business; results of operations; performance; business prospects and opportunities; the availability and cost of financing, labor and services; Long Run's ability to access capital and obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals. Completion of the private placement is subject to a number of conditions. Failure to satisfy any of these conditions, the emergence of a superior proposal or the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders may result in the termination of the investment agreement.

Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information and forward-looking statements because Long Run can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

The Company's actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking information and forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking information or forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits that the Company will derive there from. Management has included the above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking information and forward-looking statements provided in this press release in order to provide a more complete perspective on Long Run's future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive.
