MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of the consolidated financial results of Crown Point Energy Inc. ("Crown Point" or the "Company") is at and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024.

This MD&A is dated as of April 25, 2025 and was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on April 24, 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements"), which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards").

The Company's Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CanAmericas (Argentina) Energy Ltd. and Crown Point Energía S.A..

The functional currency of the Company's two subsidiaries is the United States dollar ("USD"); the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar ("CAD"). The Company's presentation currency is the USD. In this MD&A, unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are expressed in USD. References to "ARS" are to Argentina Pesos.

Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we adhere to IFRS Accounting Standards, however the Company also employs certain non-IFRS measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow, including "operating netback". Additionally, other financial measures are also used to analyze performance. These non-IFRS and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-IFRS and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than financial measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, such as net income (loss), oil and natural gas sales revenue and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as indicators of our performance. This MD&A also contains oil and natural gas information, abbreviations and forward-looking information relating to future events and the Company's future performance. Please refer to "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures", "Abbreviations and BOE Presentation" and "Advisories" sections at the end of this MD&A for further information.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

Crown Point (TSX-V:CWV) is a Calgary-based junior international oil and gas company with producing assets and an opportunity base in four producing basins in Argentina: the Golfo San Jorge basin in the Province of Santa Cruz, the Austral basin in the Province of Tierra del Fuego ("TDF") and the Neuquén and Cuyo (or Cuyana) basins, in the Province of Mendoza.

The Company's strategy is designed to deliver low-risk growth and capitalize on large potential exploration upside. Specifically, Crown Point is focused on increasing its production base in Santa Cruz, TDF and Mendoza through exploration and development drilling supplemented by recompletion and fracture stimulation of select older producing wells. The Company's production is derived from its participating interest in the Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike hydrocarbon exploitation concessions in Santa Cruz (the "Santa Cruz Concessions"), the Rio Cullen, Las Violetas and La Angostura exploitation concessions in TDF (the "TDF Concessions"), the Chañares Herrados concession in Mendoza (the "CH Concession" or "CH") and the Puesto Pozo Cercado Oriental concession in Mendoza (the "PPCO Concession" or "PPCO"). CH and

PPCO may be referred to collectively as the Mendoza Concessions.

Crown Point is also conducting an exploration program in its 100% interest in the Cerro de Los Leones ("CLL") exploration concession permit (the "CLL Permit") in the Province of Mendoza.

Santa Cruz Acquisition

On October 31, 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Crown Point Energía, closed the acquisition of a 100% operating interest in the Santa Cruz Concessions from Pan American Energy S.L., Sucursal Argentina (the "Seller") for $25.8 million in cash payments plus in-kind contingent consideration payable over a 14-year period, under which the Company will deliver to the Seller a monthly quantity of oil produced in the Santa Cruz Concessions, ranging from 0 to 600 barrels of oil per day, subject to the market price of oil determined for each month. The effective date of the agreement is January 1, 2024, while the effective control date is October 31, 2024.

The Santa Cruz Concessions, comprising a total of 71,593 acres, are located in the Santa Cruz Province, on the southern flank of Golfo San Jorge basin.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations using the acquisition method whereby the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date as follows:

Fair value of net assets:

Property and equipment

$

115,594,844

Hydrocarbon Inventory

1,615,344

Spare parts inventory (*)

8,556,192

59,148,895

$

84,944,158

(*) As at December 31, 2024, $4,198,822 was reclassified to Property an equipment.

The Santa Cruz Concessions were previously operated by a leading Argentine oil and gas company, whose strategic focus was directed toward other assets. For the Company, this acquisition represents a significant growth opportunity, as it will become its main asset and the focal point of its operational optimization efforts.

Management determined this fair value based on the net present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the acquired Property and equipment assets, using a discount rate of 12.77% and assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account.

The assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of the acquired P&E assets require significant judgment by management and include acquired proved and probable reserves, projected future rates of production, future commodity pricing, timing and amount of future expenditures and the discount rate. The acquired proved and probable reserves are evaluated and reported on by independent reserve engineers (management's experts).

The preliminary estimates of fair value were made by management at the time of preparation of the Financial Statements based on available information and may be adjusted as the amounts subject to estimates are finalized.

During 2024, the Company incurred $811,314 of costs related to the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Concessions which are included in general and administrative expenses.

Since the closing date of the acquisition on October 31, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the Santa Cruz Concessions contributed $14.1 million of oil and gas sales revenue and $1.7 million of net operating income.

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, the Company estimates that revenue from oil and gas sales would been approximately $82.3 million and net operating income would have been approximately

$6.4 million. The pro forma information is not necessarily representative of future revenue and operations.

TDF Acquisition

On December 2, 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Crown Point Energía closed the acquisition of a 13.5926% non-operating participating interest in the TDF Concessions from an arm's length party for $0.8 million in cash payments. The effective date of the acquisition is July 1, 2024.

The TDF Concessions are located in the TDF region of the Austral basin in southern Argentina. Completion of the acquisition increased the Company's participating interest in the TDF Concessions to 48.3275%.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations using the acquisition method whereby the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date as follows:

Management determined this fair value based on the net present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the acquired Property and equipment assets, using a discount rate of 12.77% and assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account.

The assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of the acquired P&E assets require significant judgment by management and include acquired proved and probable reserves, projected future rates of production, future commodity pricing, timing and amount of future expenditures and the discount rate. The acquired proved and probable reserves are evaluated and reported on by independent reserve engineers (management's experts).

Since the Company expects to extend the TDF Concession term, the acquisition represented a strategic opportunity for the Company. As a result, the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the cash consideration payable to the seller, resulting in a $0.4 million gain on the acquisition of the TDF Concessions.

The preliminary estimates of fair value were made by management at the time of preparation of the Financial Statements based on available information and may be adjusted as the amounts subject to estimates are finalized.

The Company incurred $118,687 of costs related to the acquisition of the non-operating participating interest in the TDF Concessions which are included in general and administrative expenses.

Since the closing date of the acquisition on December 2, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the participating interest Acquisition in the TDF Concessions contributed $0.3 million of oil and gas sales revenue and $0.07 million of net operating loss.

Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, the Company estimates that revenue from oil and gas sales would have been approximately $13.9 million and net operating loss would have been approximately

$1.1 million. The pro forma information is not necessarily representative of future revenue and operations.

    Argentina - Economic Summary

    In January 2025 the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") met to discuss the Ex-Post Evaluation ("EPE") of Argentina's exceptional access under the 2022 extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility ("2022 EFF"), which expired at the end of 2024. The EPE report concluded that the 2022 EFF did not achieve its original macroeconomic objectives due to macroeconomic imbalances of high inflation, a significant budget deficit, low international reserves, and elevated public debt.

    The IMF Board recognized a major correction undertaken through the macroeconomic stabilization achieved since December 2023 (particularly strong fiscal consolidation, an initial devaluation, and the end of monetary financing of the budget) that helped Argentina avoid a major crisis.

    On April 11, 2025, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a 48-month Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement for Argentina totaling $20 billion. The program includes an immediate disbursement of $12 billion, with the first review scheduled for June 2025 and a subsequent disbursement of approximately $2 billion. The arrangement is expected to help catalyze additional official support from multilateral and bilateral sources, as well as support Argentina's timely re-entry into international capital markets.

    In parallel, the Argentine government announced the implementation of a new exchange rate regime effective April 14, 2025. Key features of the new scheme include:

  • The exchange rate will fluctuate within a moving band, initially set between ARS 1,000 and ARS 1,400 per USD.

  • The upper bound of the band will adjust by +1% per month, while the lower bound will adjust by -1% per month.

  • The peso will fluctuate within the band based on market conditions.

  • The so-called "blend" USD mechanism will be eliminated.

  • Restrictions on individuals' access to the foreign exchange market will be lifted.

  • Profit and dividend payments to foreign shareholders will be permitted for financial years beginning in 2025.

  • Payment terms for foreign trade transactions will be made more flexible.

The rate of inflation reached 117.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024, while inflation for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was 8.6%, showing a trend of inflation decrease.

Commodity Prices

Oil

Oil from the Company's Santa Cruz Concessions is sold at a discount to the Golfo San Jorge oil price, oil from the TDF Concessions is sold at a discount to the Brent oil price and oil from the Company's Mendoza Concessions is sold at a price negotiated with the customer.

Oil (and related NGL) production from TDF may be either (1) stored then shipped for sale to the domestic market and/or international brokers for export or (2) trucked and sold to Chile. The sale of crude oil transported by ship from TDF can be impacted by intermittent shipments due to storage levels and weather conditions and/or by delivery restrictions arising due to repair and maintenance activities at the shipping terminal.

Oil production from the Mendoza Concessions is sold to the domestic market and may be stored and then

trucked to the delivery point in Tupungato, Mendoza.

Oil production from the Santa Cruz Concessions is sold to the domestic market, stored in the Company's own tanks, and then delivered to the Termap Terminal in Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz, via the oil pipeline from YPF.

Oil and NGL sales volumes may include both previously inventoried volumes as well as current period production.

As at December 31, 2024, all previously inventoried oil production had been sold as well as a portion of oil produced in Q4 2024, with excess oil production stored in inventory for sale in subsequent months.

All of the Company's natural gas production is usually sold in the period produced, therefore natural gas sales volumes have historically equalled production volumes. However, during Q4 2023 a portion of natural gas production was not sold due to the drop in demand combined with the drop in natural gas spot prices and was included in inventory at December 31, 2023 and the majority was sold during 2024.

Revenues and Pricing

Revenue per BOE earned in Q4 2024 was approximately $63.82, higher than the $42.84 per BOE earned in Q3 2024 and the $47.17 per BOE earned in Q4 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in oil volumes sold from the Santa Cruz Concessions partially offset by a reduction in oil volumes sold from the Mendoza Concessions and the drop in natural gas and oil prices in the TDF Concessions.

The price earned by the Company on TDF natural gas sales in Q4 2024 averaged $2.52 per mcf, lower than

the $3.48 per mcf earned in Q3 2024 and the $4.47 per mcf earned in Q4 2023. 100% of sales were to the industrial market in each period. The price of natural gas earned by the Company varies with price fluctuations within the industrial market.

Oil revenue from Crown Point's concessions was $71.67 per bbl in Q4 2024, higher than $66.19 per bbl in Q3 2024 and $57.70 per bbl in Q4 2023, due to an increase in oil prices for domestic oil sales in Q4 2024.

During Q4 2024, the Company earned $28.32 per bbl on TDF NGL sales as compared to $33.47 per bbl earned in Q3 2024 and $26.36 per bbl earned in Q4 2023.

The base royalty rate for revenue from the TDF Concessions is 15% plus turnover tax at an average rate of 2% on revenues for which the base royalty is paid in cash rather than in-kind. Variances in TDF royalties are also impacted by commodity prices over certain thresholds which may increase the base rate by 0.5% increments and by the level of export sales volumes which bear an additional royalty of 2% compared to domestic sales which carry a 1% royalty.

Under the terms of the CH exploitation license agreement, the Company pays a 13% royalty on oil production from the CH Concession plus turnover tax at an average rate of 3% on revenues.

Under the terms of the PPCO exploitation license agreement, the Company pays an 18.2% royalty on oil production from the PPCO Concession plus turnover tax at an average rate of 3% on revenues.

Under the terms of the Piedra Clavada and Koluel Kaike exploitation license agreement, the Company pays a 15% royalty, less quality and transport discounts, on oil production from the Concessions plus turnover tax at an average rate of 3% on revenues.

Production and processing costs per BOE in the 2024 periods are higher than in the 2023 periods primarily due to the cost increases related to labor, supervision and repairs and maintenance, which were caused mainly by inflation adjustments. Additionally, Q4 2024 includes the operating costs related to the Santa Cruz Concessions from the closing date as of October 31, 2024.

Transportation and hauling costs consist of contracted services hired to perform vacuum truck and transportation activities for crude oil. Transportation and hauling costs per BOE are lower in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods due to the conversion of the SM.a-1003 well to a disposal well during Q2 2023, to capture formation water from the San Martin field which helped to reduce the associated trucking costs.

Gas Processing Income

During Q4 2024 and YE 2024, the Company recognized $86,567 and $331,123, respectively, of gas processing income as compared to $60,512 and $252,170 during Q4 2023 and YE 2023, respectively.

Professional fees are higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods due mainly to legal fees related to the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Concessions combined with consulting fees related to engineering assistance.

Office and general expenses are higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods mainly due expenses related to the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Concessions.

Travel and promotion expenses are higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods due to travel to Santa Cruz and Mendoza Provinces made during 2024.

Fair Value Adjustment of Contingent Consideration

During 2024, the Company reported a $500,084 fair value adjustment loss of contingent consideration (2023 - $689,130 loss) comprised of the following:

Contingent consideration liability:

Acquisition of St. Patrick Oil & Gas S.A.

Pursuant to the 2018 acquisition of St. Patrick Oil & Gas S.A. ("St. Patrick"), the Company will make quarterly payments to the vendor until December 31, 2027 equal to 10% of the amount by which net revenue (oil and gas revenue less provincial royalties) received by the Company in respect of St. Patrick's participating interest in the TDF Concessions for the quarter exceeds certain base net revenue thresholds for such quarter. If in any quarter the net revenues received by the Company in respect of St. Patrick's participating interest do not exceed the base net revenue threshold for that quarter, then no royalty payment will be payable.

The forecast net revenues based on the externally prepared December 31, 2024 reserve reports do not exceed the base net revenue for future quarters (2023 - forecast net revenues exceeded the base net revenue for future quarters). As a result, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability at December 31, 2024 is $nil (2023 - $134,100).

Acquisition of 50% working interest

Pursuant to the 2022 acquisition of the 50% working interest in the PPCO Concession, the Company will pay up to $7.53 million in quarterly payments to the vendor based on a percentage of the net operating income (oil and gas revenue less royalties, turnover and other taxes and operating expenses) derived from the 50% working interest, provided that no amounts are payable to the vendor until the Company has recovered its initial $5 million investment from its share of the net operating income derived from the PPCO Concession.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company re-measured the fair value of the contingent consideration liability at $1,601,394 (2023 - $1,054,730) resulting in a fair value adjustment of $546,664 (2023 - $642,550). This contingent consideration liability is included in the non-current portion of trade and other payables.

In-kind Contingent consideration liability

Pursuant to the 2024 acquisition of the 100% working interest in the Santa Cruz Concessions, the Company recognized a $59,148,895 liability representing the estimated fair value of the in-kind contingent consideration liability. The fair value of the in-kind contingent consideration liability as at October 31, 2024 was estimated based on delivery to the Seller of a monthly quantity of oil produced in the Santa Cruz Concessions, ranging from 0 to 600 barrels of oil per day, subject to the market price of oil determined for each month over 14 years at a discount rate of 9.5%.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company paid $736,438 and re-measured the fair value of the contingent consideration liability at $58,412,457 resulting in a fair value adjustment of $nil. This contingent consideration liability is included in the current portion of trade and other payables by an amount of $ 1,689,140 and

$56,723,317 in the non-current portion of trade and other payables. Contingent consideration receivable:

As part of the consideration for the disposition of a participating interest in the TDF Concessions to the Company's UTE partners on April 26, 2019, the UTE partners will make future payments to the Company equal to their proportionate share of contingent royalty payments that accrue following the closing of the sale and that are payable by the Company pursuant to the acquisition of St. Patrick (described above).

The forecast net revenues based on the externally prepared December 31, 2024 reserve report do not exceed the base net revenue for future quarters (2023 - forecast net revenues exceeded base net revenue for future quarters). As a result, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration receivable at December 31, 2024 is $nil (2023 - $87,520).

Depletion rates reflect the all-in combined charge of drilling operations, various asset acquisitions and investments in facilities and gathering systems. Office furniture, equipment and other assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years for Argentina office furniture and equipment and a straight- line basis over the term of the lease for leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets.

The depletion rate per BOE in the 2024 periods is lower than in the 2023 periods, mainly due to the addition of the Santa Cruz Concessions.

The depletion expense calculation for Q4 2024 included $274.5 million (Q4 2023 - $76.2 million) for the estimated future development costs associated with the Company´s petroleum and natural gas proved and probable reserves in Argentina.

Depreciation expense in the 2024 periods is higher than the 2023 periods due to the addition of office furniture and equipment during Q4 2024.

Share-based Payments

During Q4 2024 and YE 2024, the Company recognized $nil (Q4 2023 and YE 2023 - $nil and $16,148) respectively, of share-based payment expense. As at December 31, 2024, the balance of unvested share-based payments was $nil.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange gains (losses) reported in the consolidated statement of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income occur as a result of translation of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities to the functional currency of the respective entity and the related currency fluctuations between the CAD and the USD and the USD and the ARS.

In Crown Point, the translation of USD denominated foreign net monetary liabilities to CAD during 2024 resulted in a foreign exchange gain of approximately $0.01 million (2023 - $0.04 million foreign exchange loss).

Notwithstanding that the functional currency of the Company's Argentine subsidiary is the USD, a portion of monetary assets and liabilities such as certain accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans are denominated in ARS and re-measured into the functional currency at each reporting date, making net monetary assets and liabilities somewhat sensitive to currency fluctuations.

In the Argentine subsidiary, the translation of ARS denominated net monetary liabilities to USD during 2024 resulted in a foreign exchange gain of approximately $0.9 million (2023 - $2.1 million foreign exchange gain).

Currency devaluation in Argentina partially impacts the cost of ARS denominated items which are translated

to the USD functional currency of the Argentine subsidiary. A portion of the Company's operating costs and general and administrative expenses incurred in Argentina are denominated in ARS and are also subject to inflation adjustments. During 2024, the devaluation of ARS resulted in lower operating costs and general and administrative expenses incurred in Argentina by approximately 12% (2023 - devaluation of ARS; lower by 26%), without considering cost increases related to inflation.

During 2024, the devaluation of ARS resulted in a reduction in the USD equivalent of ARS denominated foreign currency denominated financial instruments, excluding loans and notes payable, by approximately

$0.6 million (2023 - devaluation of ARS; reduction by approximately $1.2 million).

The effect of currency devaluation on ARS denominated bank debt during 2024 was a $0.6 million reduction (2023 - $3.1 million reduction) in the USD equivalent amounts.

Other Income

During Q4 2024 and YE 2024, the Company recognized $nil and $133,993, respectively, of other income related to the sale of certain consumables from the Mendoza Concessions.

Interest income is earned on interest-earning bank accounts, restricted cash held in a trust account and investments in mutual funds. The amount earned in the 2024 periods is lower than in the 2023 periods due to lower investments in mutual funds during 2024.

The gain on the fair value of financial instruments in Q4 2024 and in the 2024 periods is related to the settlement of $22 million in proceeds collected from the issuance of Series VI Notes payable, through negotiable securities acquired in foreign currency and settled in local currency. This is combined with the crude oil and gas export program established by the government during Q4 2023, through which the company is able to settle a portion of the export proceeds via negotiable securities acquired in foreign currency and settled in local currency.

The Company received a $0.74 million premium of issue price over the principal amount of the December 6, 2023 issuance of Series IV Notes (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Notes Payable") that has been recognized as a premium liability and is amortized to finance income over the term of the related Series IV Notes using the effective interest method.

Financing fees and bank charges result primarily from bank taxes charged in Argentina on cash transfers. Cash transfers were higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods mainly due to the Santa Cruz Concessions acquisition in Q4 2024.

The $23,182 recognized in 2024 (2023 - $132,427) as a loss on fair value of investment relates to a fair value adjustment of notes receivable included in investments as at December 31, 2023 and collected during Q1 2024.

Interest on bank debt is higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods due to an increase in the average debt amount outstanding in Q4 2024 partially offset by the decrease in the interest rates during 2024. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Notes Payable" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Loans".

Interest on notes payable in the 2024 periods is higher than in the 2023 periods due to an increase in the principal amount of various series of notes payable outstanding during 2024.

Amortization of notes payable transaction costs is higher in the 2024 periods than in the 2023 periods due to the costs related to the issuance of various series of notes payable during 2024.

Crown Point Energía S.A.'s has sufficient non-capital loss and other tax pools available to reduce taxable income in Argentina to $nil. The deferred tax recovery reported in 2024 and 2023 is mainly related to the increase in tax losses combined with changes in the Company's ARS denominated tax pools partially offset by the effect of the devaluation of the ARS during the period on the translation of ARS denominated tax pools to USD.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company's deferred tax liability was $29,527,901 (December 31, 2023 -

$2,151,708 deferred tax liability).

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company incurred $nil of drilling expenditures on exploration and evaluation ("E&E") assets related to CLL during 2024 (2023 - $10,523).

production optimization in the San Martin field and other facilities improvements and $7,554,393 of expenditures in the Mendoza Concessions related to well workovers, extractive system enhancements and facilities improvements.

Government grants:

In July 2021, the Province of Mendoza created the Mendoza Activa Hydrocarbons II Program ("Program II") to promote and increase the development and reactivation of hydrocarbon activity in the Province. Program II provides a refund ("government grant") of up to 40% of amounts invested in the Province prior to December 31, 2022 that meet certain technical and economic requirements. Government grants are paid as follows:

  • 50% in the form of a turnover tax credit that is freely transferable and may be applied against up to 10% of theholder's monthly turnover tax balance; and

  • 50% in the form of a royalty credit that can be applied against provincial royalties on incremental productionobtained from the related investment.

Government grants received under Program II expire on December 31, 2025 and may be extended for up to three years if certain criteria are met.

During 2024, the Company received ARS 43.5 million ($0.05 million) of Program II turnover tax and royalty credits related to investments in the Mendoza Concessions (2023 - ARS 16.6 million ($0.07 million)).

IMPAIRMENT LOSS OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

As at December 31, 2024, the Company had three cash generating units ("CGUs"): (1) the TDF CGU comprised of the TDF Concessions; (2) the Mendoza CGU comprised of the CH Concession and the PPCO Concession and (3) the Santa Cruz CGU comprised of the Santa Cruz Concessions.

As at December 31, 2023, the Company identified indicators of impairment reversal in relation to its TDF CGU, such as an extension of timing of cash flows and optimization of operating costs, and performed an impairment reversal test resulting in the recognition of a $3.05 million impairment reversal related to the TDF CGU.

Mendoza CGU

As at December 31, 2024, the Company identified indicators of impairment in relation to its Mendoza CGU such as the increase in operating costs and performed an impairment test. The estimated recoverable amount of the Mendoza CGU was determined to be higher than the carrying amount resulting in no impairment recognized in 2024.

The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment in relation to its Mendoza CGU as at December 31, 2023 and therefore no impairment test was performed.

Santa Cruz CGU

The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment in relation to its Santa Cruz CGU as at December 31, 2024 and therefore no impairment test was performed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not meet its financial obligations as they become due. The

Company manages its liquidity risk through management of its capital structure and annual budgeting of its revenues, expenditures and cash flows.

During 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $9,145,821 (2023 - $8,127,632); $1,093,965 of funds flow used in operating activities (2023 - $1,608,310 funds flow provided by operating activities); and $4,391,237 of net cash used in operating activities (2023 - $3,793,538 of net cash provided by operating activities). As at December 31, 2024, the Company reported a $28,816,056 working capital deficit (December 31, 2023 -

$11,785,934 working capital deficit), including $4,392,165 of cash (2023 - $191,507) and the carrying amount of notes payable outstanding is $45,787,526 (2023 - $28,757,720), of which $16,787,098 (2023 -12,298,533) is classified as a current liability.

The Company's capital expenditure budget for fiscal 2025 is estimated to be $28.2 million comprised of $0.7 million in the TDF Concessions, $1.2 million in the Mendoza Concessions, $25.5 million in the Santa Cruz Concessions and $0.8 million in the CLL Permit. For details of the Company's fiscal 2025 capital expenditure program, see "Outlook".

In 2021, Crown Point Energia S.A obtained approval from Argentina's National Security Commission to launch offerings for notes payable for up to $75 million (or its equivalent in other currencies) effective until March 18, 2026. As of December 31, 2024, the Company issued $57.3 million of notes payable and $17.7 million was available for future offerings. The Company has future capital commitments to develop its properties as described in the Commitments section of this MD&A.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain additional financing through bank debt and/or the issuance of notes payable or equity, and the generation of funds from operating activities to meet current and future obligations. Management plans to secure the necessary financing for its debt and future capital commitments through the issuance of new notes payable or other debt or equity instruments, however, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful. The need to obtain additional capital to repay or refinance bank debt and notes payable (see "Subsequent Events") and to fund the Company's existing commitments and ongoing operations creates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due, and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The fair values of cash, restricted cash, investments, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and bank debt are estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of

    interest at the reporting date. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of these balances approximated their carrying amount due to their short terms to maturity. The fair values of notes payable, lease liabilities and the contingent consideration liability are based on the discounted present value of future cash flows and approximate carrying amounts.

    The Company's accounts receivable are primarily with industry partners and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The Company extends unsecured credit to these entities, and therefore, the collection of any receivables may be affected by changes in the economic environment or other conditions. Management believes the risk is mitigated by the financial position of the entities.

    (3) Total of current and non-current portions of notes payable.

    Significant quarter-over-quarter variances in net loss and working capital are explained below:

    • The reported net loss increased in Q4 2024 due mainly to the increase in operating expenses combined with the costs related to the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Concessions.

    • Working capital deficit decreased in Q4 2024 due mainly to the increase in accounts receivable related to the Santa Cruz Concessions.

    • The reported net loss decreased in Q3 2024 due mainly to lower depletion expense.

    • Working capital deficit increased in Q3 2024 due mainly to the reclassification of a portion of notes payable to current liabilities.

    • The reported net loss increased in Q2 2024 due mainly to lower oil and natural gas prices combined with lower oil sales volumes.

    • Working capital deficit increased in Q2 2024 due mainly to the reclassification of a portion of notes payable to current liabilities.

    • Working capital deficit increased in Q1 2024 due mainly to the reclassification of a portion of notes payable to current liabilities and the $2.4 million advance payment for the acquisition of the Santa Cruz Concessions included in "other non-current assets".

    • The reported net loss decreased in Q1 2024 due to a higher deferred tax recovery combined with a lower net finance expense and partially offset by higher depletion expense.

    • Working capital deficit increased in Q4 2023 due mainly to the reclassification of a portion of notes payable to current liabilities.

    • The reported net loss increased in Q4 2023 due mainly to the foreign exchange losses combined with lower oil and gas sales.

    • Working capital deficit decreased in Q3 2023 due mainly to cash proceeds from the issuance of Series IV Notes that are payable 24 months after the issuance date.

    • The reported net loss decreased in Q3 2023 due mainly to higher oil and gas sales revenue combined with lower operating costs and lower interest on loans.

    • Working capital decreased in Q2 2023 due mainly to the increase in loans, trade and other payables and the reclassification of a portion of notes payable to current liabilities.

    • The reported net loss increased in Q2 2023 mainly due to higher operating expenses and interest on loans.

      BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

      Crown Point's production and exploration activities are conducted only in Argentina, where activity is highly competitive and includes a variety of different sized companies ranging from smaller junior producers to the much larger integrated petroleum companies. Crown Point is subject to various types of business risks and uncertainties, which may materially affect the Company's future financial and operating performance, including without limitation the following:

    • the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they become due and continue as a going concern;

    • the risk that climate change concerns could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for our products, while the potential physical effects of climate change could disrupt our production and cause us to incur significant costs preparing for or responding to those effects;

    • risks associated with the ability of OPEC and other oil and gas exporting nations to set and maintain production levels and influence prices for crude oil;

    • risks associated with operations in emerging markets, including: changes in energy policies or personnel administering them; nationalization of the Company's assets; the development and/or persistence of hyper-inflationary conditions; the potential for a sovereign debt default; significant increases in interest rates; lack of availability of credit; currency fluctuations between the USD, the CDN and the ARS and/or devaluations of the ARS; commodity price controls; export controls; export taxes; changes in royalty and tax rates; and monetary and currency exchange controls, or exchange restrictions, as further discussed below;

    • risks associated with wars, insurrections and other armed conflicts and any resulting economic sanctions (including the ongoing war in Ukraine and related economic sanctions imposed on Russia and associated entities and individuals and the ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East), including the risk that such events impact economic activity in Argentina or globally and consequently the demand for crude oil and natural gas;

    • exchange restrictions imposed by the Central Bank of Argentina on the Company's subsidiaries from time to time, which may restrict, among other things: the payment of dividends and profits to the Company; the repatriation of funds by the Company from its subsidiaries; payments made to non-residents for the importation of goods; payments made to the Company for the importation of services; the funding of assets located outside of Argentina; and the obligation to settle certain transactions involving the receipt of foreign funds (i.e. USD) in ARS, including foreign funds obtained from the export of goods such as crude oil; all of which, among other things, may affect the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to obtain the foreign currency necessary to meet their financial obligations and/or may affect the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to distribute funds to the Company in order to permit the Company to discharge its financial obligations in the ordinary course of business;

    • the risks of the oil and gas industry both domestically and internationally, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas and market demand;

    • general economic conditions in Canada, Argentina and globally, including the risk of a recession in

      Argentina and/or globally that reduces economic activity;

LEGAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, REMEDIATION AND OTHER CONTINGENT MATTERS

The Company reviews legal, environmental remediation and other contingent matters to both determine whether a loss is probable based on judgment and interpretation of laws and regulations and determine that the loss can reasonably be estimated. When the loss is determined, it is charged to earnings. The Company's management monitors known and potential contingent matters and makes appropriate provisions by charges to earnings when warranted by circumstances.

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this MD&A and in other materials disclosed by the Company, we employ certain measures to analyze financial performance, financial position, and cash flow. These non-IFRS and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. The non-IFRS and other financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than financial measures which are determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, such as net income (loss), oil and natural gas sales revenue and net cash provided (used) by operating activities as indicators of our performance.

"Funds flow per share - operating activities" is a supplemental financial measure. Funds flow per share - operating activities is comprised of funds flow provided (used) by operating activities divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. See "Financial Information - Summary of Financial Information".

"Net cash per share - operating activities" is a supplemental financial measure. Net cash per share -operating activities is comprised of net cash provided (used) by operating activities divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. See "Financial Information

- Summary of Financial Information".

"Non-current financial liabilities" is a supplemental financial measure. Non-current financial liabilities is comprised of the non-current portions of trade and other payables, notes payable and lease liabilities as presented in the Company's consolidated statements of financial position. See "Financial Information -Summary of Financial Information".

"Operating Netback" is a non-IFRS measure. Operating netback is comprised of oil and natural gas sales revenue less export tax, royalties and turnover tax and operating costs. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's profitability relative to commodity prices. See "Results of Operations - Operating Netback" for a reconciliation of operating netback to oil and natural gas sales revenue, being our nearest measure prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards.

"Operating netback per BOE" is a non-IFRS ratio. Operating netback per BOE is comprised of operating netback divided by total BOE sales volumes in the period. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's profitability relative to commodity prices. In addition, management believes that operating netback per BOE is a key industry performance measure of operational efficiency and provide investors with information that is also commonly presented by other crude oil and natural gas producers. Operating netback is a non-IFRS measure. See "Results of Operations - Operating Netback" for the calculation of operating netback per BOE.

"Working capital" is a capital management measure. Working capital is comprised of current assets less current liabilities. Management believes that working capital is a useful measure to assess the Company's capital position and its ability to execute its existing exploration commitments and its share of any development programs. See "Financial Information - Summary of Financial Information" for a reconciliation of working capital to current assets and current liabilities, being our nearest measures prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards.

All BOE conversions in this MD&A are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six mcf of gas

to one bbl of oil. BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six mcf of gas to one bbl of oil (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 that the value ratio based on the price of crude oil as compared to natural gas in Argentina from time to time may be different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

ADVISORIES Initial Production Rates

Any references herein to initial production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will continue production and decline thereafter. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered "load oil" fluids used in well completion stimulation. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for the Company. Initial production rates may be estimated based on third party estimates or limited data available at the time. In all cases herein, initial production rates are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance of the relevant well or fields or of ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons.
