MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides a detailed explanation of Antrim Energy Inc.'s (the
"Company" or "Antrim") operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period
ended March 31, 2013 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of
Antrim for the year ended December 31, 2013. This MD&A has been prepared using information available up to May
12, 2014. The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Unless otherwise noted all amounts are reported in United
States dollars.
Non-IFRS Measures
Cash flow from operations, cash flow from operations per share and netback do not have standard meanings under
IFRS and may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Antrim utilizes cash flow from operations
and netback to assess operational and financial performance to allocate capital among alternative projects and
to assess the Company's capacity to fund future capital programs.
Cash flow from operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.
Cash flow from operations per share is calculated as cash flow from operations divided by the weighted-average
number of outstanding shares. Reconciliation of cash flow from operations to its nearest measure prescribed by
IFRS is provided below. Netback is the per unit of production amount of revenue less operating costs and the
financial derivative and is used in capital allocation decisions and to economically assess projects.
Corporate
On February 7, 2014 the Company announced that it entered into an agreement to sell, subject to shareholder and
regulatory approval, its Causeway, Kerloch and Cormorant East assets, structured as a sale of all of the issued
and outstanding shares in the capital of Antrim Resources (N.I.) Limited ("ARNIL") for $53 million in cash,
plus the assumption of certain liabilities and adjusted working capital, from which Antrim would settle on
closing all outstanding obligations under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements. On April 24, 2014 the Company
completed the sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements.

Overview of Continuing Operations
Fyne Licence
P077 Block 21/28a - Fyne, Antrim 100%
In late March 2013 the Company announced that it would not proceed with development of the Fyne Field using an
FPSO. This followed a significant escalation of expected future development costs. The Company subsequently
signed a joint development agreement with Enegi Oil Plc ("Enegi") and Advanced Buoy Technology ("ABTechnology")
to undertake engineering studies and preparation of a Field Development Plan ("FDP") using buoy technology. The
terms of the agreement include that there will be no costs to the Company prior to FDP approval. During the
second half of 2013 and into 2014 Enegi-ABTechnology has worked with contractors to engineer the production
facility for Fyne and an environmental statement was submitted to the UK Department of Energy and Climate
Change ("DECC") during March 2014. Engineering work is now expected to continue during the summer with FDP
approval to be sought prior to August 31, 2014. Upon approval of the FDP by DECC, Enegi-ABTechnology will earn
the right to acquire 50% working interest in the licence. Antrim will remain operator.
DECC has agreed to amend the terms of the Fyne Licence to allow for a FDP for the Fyne Field to be submitted no
later than August 31, 2014. DECC's consent to the amendment includes conditions, amongst other things, that the
FDP submission is in its final form, the environmental statement is cleared, the Company is approved as a
production operator, there is satisfactory evidence of project financing, and first production is achieved
prior to November 25, 2016. If these conditions are not met, or if extensions from DECC are not obtained, the
Fyne Licence could expire in accordance with its terms. The carrying value of the Fyne Licence at March 31,
2014 is $nil (December 31, 2013 - $nil).
Erne Licence
P1875 Block 21/29d - Erne, Antrim 50%
The Erne Licence started in January 2011 and is a Promote Licence with a drill-or-drop commitment. The Erne
wells drilled in late 2011 met all the commitments on the Licence. A discovery was made with the 21/29d-11 well
and also in the up-dip side-track 21/29d-11z well. These discoveries are not commercial on their own, but may
be economic to develop as tie-backs to an adjacent Fyne production facility if that transpires. The initial
four year term of the Licence expires in January 2015 at which time there is a requirement to relinquish 50% of
the Licence area. The carrying value of the Erne Licence at March 31, 2014 is $nil (December 31, 2013 - $nil).
Ireland
Frontier Exploration Licence 1-13, Antrim 25%
Antrim acquired a Licensing Option in the 2011 Atlantic Margin Licensing Round which included Blocks 44/4, 44/5
(part), 44/9, 44/10, 44/14 and 44/15 covering an area of 1,409 km2 (the "Skellig Block"). Antrim licensed,
reprocessed and interpreted 2D seismic data over the blocks and identified a Cretaceous deep sea fan complex
similar in seismic character to many of the recent Cretaceous oil discoveries offshore West Africa.
In April 2013, the Company farmed out a 75% interest in, and operatorship, of the Licensing Option to Kosmos
Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos") in exchange for Kosmos carrying the full costs of a planned 3D seismic program within
the licence area and re-imbursement to Antrim of a portion of the exploration costs incurred on the blocks to
date. Antrim retained a 25% interest. The transaction was approved by the Department of Communications, Energy
and Natural Resources of Ireland ("DCENR").
On July 15, 2013, DCENR approved the conversion of the Licensing Option to a Frontier Exploration Licence
("FEL"). FEL 1-13 has a 15 year term, with an initial three-year term followed by three four- year terms,
following a mandatory 25% relinquishment of the Licensing Option area. The remaining licence area is 1,051.75
km2.
The approved work programme for the initial three year term of the FEL involves acquisition of 3D seismic over
the FEL area followed by seismic processing, interpretation and geological studies. Seismic acquisition
commenced on July 10, 2013 and was completed by the end of September 2013. Processing and interpretation of the
seismic data is in progress.
Overview of Discontinued Operations
Causeway Licences
Licence P201 Block 211/22a South East Area and P1383 Block 211/23d, Antrim 35.5%
Production from the Causeway Field averaged 1,209 gross barrels of oil per day ("bopd") (Antrim net 354 bopd)
in the first quarter of 2014 compared to an average of 3,336 gross bopd (Antrim net 976 bopd) for the
corresponding period in 2013. Production averaged 1,714 gross bopd (Antrim net 501 bopd) for the three months
ended December 31, 2013. Until startup of the electric submersible pump ("ESP"), oil was produced in the first
quarter of 2014 in cycles to allow for sufficient pressure buildup between cycles.
Contender Licence
P201 Block 211/22a Contender Area, Antrim 8.4%
Production from the Cormorant East Field has been constrained for mechanical reasons and averaged 275 gross
bopd (Antrim net 23 bopd) in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 688 gross bopd (Antrim net 58 bopd) for the
corresponding period in 2013. Production from the Cormorant East Field averaged 377 gross bopd (Antrim net 32
bopd) for the three months ended December 31, 2013.

/T/
Revenue
With the classification of Causeway to discontinued operations, the Company did not have any revenue in 2014 or
2013.
General and Administrative
General and administrative ("G&A") costs decreased to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to
$1.4 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The decrease in G&A is primarily due to reduced employee
compensation.
Exploration & Evaluation Expenditures
Exploration and evaluation ("E&E") expenditures decreased to $7 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 compared
to $1.8 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The decrease in E&E expenditures is primarily related to
less work on the development plan for the Fyne Licence.
Finance Costs
Finance costs were $13 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.7 million for the corresponding
period in 2013. The decrease in finance costs is primarily related to fees in 2013 related to sourcing debt
financing.
Income Taxes
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities. The Company did not pay or recover any taxes during the quarter ended March 31, 2014
(2013 - $nil).
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. As at March 31, 2014, no deferred
income tax assets were recorded due to uncertainty with respect to the ability of Antrim to generate sufficient
taxable income to utilize the unrecognized losses.
Cash Flow and Net Loss from Continuing Operations
In the first quarter of 2014, Antrim generated a cash deficiency from continuing operations of $1.2 million
compared to a cash deficiency from continuing operations of $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 2013.
The cash flow deficiency decreased in 2014 due to lower general and administrative costs and E&E expenditures.
In the first quarter of 2014, Antrim had a net loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million compared to a
net loss from continuing operations of $4.3 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Net loss decreased
due to lower general and administrative costs and E&E expenditures.
Foreign Exchange and Comprehensive Income
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company's UK operations
have been accounted for as a US functional currency entity. A significant portion of the Company's activities
are transacted in or referenced to US dollars, Canadian dollars or British pounds sterling. The Company's
operating costs and certain of the Company's payments in order to maintain property interests are made in the
local currency of the jurisdiction where the applicable property is located. As a result of these factors,
fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, British pounds sterling and US dollar could result in unanticipated
fluctuations in the Company's financial results.
The Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to a loss of
$0.1 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The Company recognized other comprehensive loss of $16
thousand in the first quarter of 2014, compared to other comprehensive loss of $0.1 million for the
corresponding period in 2013 related to foreign currency translation adjustments.
Financial Discussion of Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations relate to the sale of Antrim's Causeway, Kerloch and Cormorant East assets structured
as the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares in ARNIL. On April 24, 2014 the Company completed the
sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements.
Revenue
The Company recorded revenue of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $12.0 million for the
corresponding period in 2013. Revenue decreased due to lower production. Revenue is recognized when title and
risk transfer to the purchaser, which occurs at the time of lifting into a tanker at the Sullom Voe terminal.
Under the contract with the sole UK purchaser, Antrim invoices and receives payment for its oil in the month
after production; however, the purchaser retains certain rights impacting the timing of liftings which may
result in no sales in a particular month resulting in deferred revenue.
Antrim's oil sales prices, before adjusting for Antrim's oil price commodity swaps, averaged $110.74 for the
first quarter of 2014 compared to $114.21 for the corresponding period in 2013. The sales price for Causeway
oil is calculated based on the monthly average price for Brent Ninian Blend, in the month subsequent to the
month of production.

Production from the Causeway Field averaged 1,209 gross barrels of oil per day ("bopd") (Antrim net 354 bopd)
in the first quarter of 2014 compared to an average of 3,336 gross bopd (Antrim net 976 bopd) for the
corresponding period in 2013. Until startup of the ESP oil was being produced in the first quarter of 2014 in
cycles to allow for sufficient pressure buildup between cycles.

=---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Netback 60.68 99.32
=---------------------------------------------------------------------------
=---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/T/
Direct production and operating expenses consist of operator, production platform and export terminal costs.
Direct production and operating expenses decreased to $1.0 million from $1.3 million due to lower production
from the Causeway Field partially offset by adjustments related to pipeline charges.
Depletion
Depletion expense was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $7.1 million for the corresponding
period in 2013. The depletion rate in the first quarter of 2014 was $37.75 per barrel compared to $67.19 per
barrel for the corresponding period in 2013.
Finance Costs
Finance costs were $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding
period in 2013. The increase in finance costs is due to recognition in the first quarter of 2014 of $3.4
million relating to the increase in the present value at March 31, 2014 of the Payment Swap. Both the Payment
Swap and Oil Swap were repaid in April 2014 as part of the sale of ARNIL. Remaining finance costs were lower in
the first quarter of 2014 due to lower debt principal outstanding and non-recurring costs in 2013 relating to
the debt financing.
Financial Derivative
The following table summarizes the commodity hedge outstanding as at March 31, 2014:
/T/
Volume Fixed price
Derivative Term bbl $/bbl
=--------------------------------------------------------------------
Oil Swap April 2014 - December 2016 467,287 $81.21
/T/
The Company recorded a $3.1 million loss on the financial derivative in the first quarter of 2014 compared to a
loss of $0.4 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase in loss on the financial derivative is
due to recognition in the first quarter of 2014 of $2.6 million relating to the increase in the present value
at March 31, 2014 of the Oil Swap.
Cash Flow and Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
In the first quarter of 2014 Antrim generated cash flow from discontinued operations of $1.1 million compared
to a cash flow from discontinued operations of $10.3 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Cash flow
from discontinued operations decreased due to the lower production and revenue from Causeway.
In the first quarter of 2014, Antrim had a net loss from discontinued operations of $6.9 million compared to
net income from discontinued operations of $1.5 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The net loss
increased primarily due to higher finance costs and lower production and revenue from Causeway.
Capital Expenditures Related to Discontinued Operations
Antrim incurred capital expenditures related to discontinued operations of $3.1 million in the first quarter of
2014 compared to $13.3 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Capital expenditures in 2014 primarily
relate to ongoing development costs of the Causeway Licence.
Financial Resources, Liquidity and Going Concern
Antrim had a working capital deficiency at March 31, 2014 of $5.1 million compared to a working capital surplus
of $0.8 million as at December 31, 2013. Without the reclassification of assets and liabilities held for sale,
Antrim had a working capital deficiency at March 31, 2014 of $35.3 million compared to a working capital
deficiency at December 31, 2013 of $24.0 million, including bank debt (after discount) of $20.3 million and
financial derivative (after discount) of $10.5 million.
The sale of ARNIL in April 2014 resulted in the repayment and settlement of all outstanding obligations under
the Company's bank debt and financial derivative. After commission and the payment of any change of control
payments triggered by the completion of the ARNIL sale, Antrim estimates it will have working capital of
approximately $17.1 million. The Company will also have limited contractual obligations and commitments as
noted in the table below.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Antrim has several commitments in respect of its petroleum and natural gas properties and operating leases as
at March 31, 2014 as follows:

the Fyne Field using an FPSO. The Company continues to hold the licence
pending further evaluation using buoy technology.
(2) Subsequent to March 31, 2014 Antrim no longer has these commitments
following the sale of ARNIL in April 2014.
/T/
Subsequent to March 31, 2014 Antrim is no longer involved with a claim by a drilling management services
contractor for approximately $5 million in additional costs as this claim was retained by ARNIL as part of the
ARNIL sale.
Subsequent Events
On April 24, 2014, the Company completed the sale of ARNIL for $53 million in cash plus the assumption of
certain liabilities and adjusted working capital and settled its outstanding obligations under its Payment and
Oil Swap agreements. The amounts paid in April 2014 to settle the Payment and Oil Swap obligations were $20.8
million and $10.9 million, respectively. After commission and the payment of any change of control payments
triggered by the completion of the ARNIL sale, Antrim estimates it will have working capital of approximately
$17.1 million.
Following completion of the ARNIL Sale, Antrim's Vice-President, Operations and Vice-President, Commercial
resigned from the Company.
Outlook
With the ARNIL sale completed, Antrim has no debt and will be able to continue to operate as a going concern,
engaged in the oil and gas business, with greater financial resources and an opportunity to further develop
Antrim's remaining assets as well as greater opportunities to raise capital or seek other strategic
alternatives, including a possible business combination, to maximize shareholder value.
In addition to further development of its remaining properties, Antrim continues to consider various
international exploration opportunities where Antrim believes such opportunities will create value for Antrim's
shareholders.
The Company has made an application for its common shares to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and
anticipates moving the listing of its common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange to the TSXV by the end of
May 2014.

/T/
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Antrim has established disclosure controls, procedures and corporate policies so that its consolidated
financial results are presented accurately, fairly and on a timely basis. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have designed or have caused such internal controls over financial reporting to be designed
under their supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The Company tested and evaluated the
effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as at
December 31, 2013. During this evaluation the Corporation identified a weakness due to the limited number of
finance and accounting personnel at the Corporation dealing with complex and non-routine accounting
transactions that may arise.
There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
first three months of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting except for further limited segregation of duties which
occurred in the quarter.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, these systems
provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that financial information is accurate and complete.
Risks and Uncertainties
The oil and gas industry involves a wide range of risks which include but are not limited to the uncertainty of
finding new commercial fields, securing markets for existing reserves, commodity price fluctuations, exchange
and interest rate costs and changes to government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes,
royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection and access to off-shore production
facilities in the UK. The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive and the Company competes with a
large number of companies that have greater resources.
Substantial Capital Requirements
The Company's ability to establish 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 exploration or producing properties
or prospects. The acquisition and development of properties also requires that sufficient funds, including
funds from outside sources, will be available in a timely manner. The availability of equity or debt financing
is affected by many factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. Recent world financial
market events and the resultant negative impact on economic conditions have increased the risk and uncertainty
of the availability of equity or debt financing.
Foreign Operations
A number of risks are associated with conducting foreign operations over which the Company has no control,
including currency instability, potential and actual civil disturbances, restriction of funds movement outside
of these countries, the ability of joint venture partners to fund their obligations, changes of laws affecting
foreign ownership and existing contracts, environmental requirements, crude oil and natural gas price and
production regulation, royalty rates, OPEC quotas, potential expropriation of property without fair
compensation, retroactive tax changes and possible interruption of oil deliveries.
Further discussions regarding the Company's risks and uncertainties, can be found in the Company's Annual
Information Form dated March 27, 2014 which is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

expenditures, Antrim's financing arrangements, supply and demand for oil, NGLs and natural gas, expectations
regarding Antrim's ability to raise capital, to continually add to reserves through acquisitions and
development, the anticipated listing of the Company's common shares on the TSXV, the schedules and timing of
certain projects, Antrim's strategy for growth, Antrim's future operating and financial results, treatment
under governmental and other regulatory regimes and tax, environmental and other laws.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A and any documents incorporated by reference
herein, Antrim has made assumptions regarding: Antrim's ability to obtain additional drilling rigs and other
equipment in a timely manner, obtain regulatory and TSXV approvals, future oil and natural gas production
levels from Antrim's properties and the price obtained from the sales of such production, the consideration
received in the ARNIL Sale will not change materially as a result of post-closing adjustments, the level of
future capital expenditure required to exploit and develop reserves, the ability of Antrim's partners to meet
their commitments as they relate to the Company and Antrim's reliance on industry partners for the development
of some of its properties, the general stability of the economic and political environment in which Antrim
operates and the future of oil and natural gas pricing. In respect to these assumptions, the reader is
cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect.
Antrim's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and
information as a result of assumptions proving inaccurate and of both known and unknown risks, including risks
associated with the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves such as the risk that
drilling operations may not be successful, unanticipated delays with respect to the development of Antrim's
properties, operational risks and liabilities that are not covered by insurance, volatility in market prices
for oil, NGLs and natural gas, changes or fluctuations in oil, NGLs and natural gas production levels, changes
in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, the ability of Antrim to fund its capital requirements,
Antrim's reliance on industry partners for the development of some of its properties, risks associated with
ensuring title to the Company's properties, liabilities and unexpected events inherent in oil and gas
operations, including geological, technical, drilling and processing problems, the risk that the consideration
from the ARNIL Sale is reduced as a result of post-closing adjustments, the risk that additional change of
control payments to employees of Antrim become payable as a result of the ARNIL Sale, the risk that the listing
of the Company's common shares on the TSXV is delayed for any reason, the risk of adverse results from
litigation, the accuracy of oil and gas reserve estimates and estimated production levels as they are affected
by the Antrim's exploration and development drilling. Additional risks include the ability to effectively
compete for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel,
incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions, Antrim's success at acquisition, exploitation and
development of reserves, changes in general economic, market and business conditions in Canada, North America,
the United Kingdom, Europe and worldwide, actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes
in income tax laws or changes in tax laws, royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas
industry and more specifically, changes in environmental or other legislation applicable to Antrim's
operations, and Antrim's ability to comply with current and future environmental and other laws, adverse
regulatory rulings, order and decisions and risks associated with the nature of the Common Shares.
Many of these risk factors, other specific risks, uncertainties and material assumptions are discussed in
further detail throughout this MD&A and in Antrim's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31,
2013. Readers are specifically referred to the risk factors described in this MD&A under "Risk Factors" and in
other documents Antrim files from time to time with securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these
documents are available without charge from Antrim or electronically on the internet on Antrim's SEDAR profile
at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
The calculation of barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") is based on a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet
of natural gas ("mcf") to one barrel of crude oil ("bbl"). Boe's 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.
In accordance with AIM guidelines, Mr. Murray Chancellor, C. Eng., MICE and Managing Director, United Kingdom
for Antrim, is the qualified person that has reviewed the technical information contained in this MD&A. Mr.
Chancellor has over 25 years operating experience in the upstream oil and gas industry.

Antrim Energy Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)
(Amounts in US$ thousands)
/T/
1) Nature of Operations
Antrim Energy Inc. ("Antrim" or the "Company") is a Calgary based oil and natural gas company. Through
subsidiaries, the Company conducts exploration activities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Antrim Energy Inc.
is incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The Company's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX") and the London Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") under the symbols "AEN" and "AEY", respectively.
The address of its registered office is 1600, 333 - 7th Avenue S.W, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The Company entered into an agreement on February 7, 2014 to sell its UK subsidiary, Antrim Resources (N.I.)
Limited ("ARNIL") for $53 million in cash, plus the assumption of certain liabilities and adjusted working
capital, from which Antrim would settle on closing all outstanding obligations under its Payment and Oil Swap
agreements. On April 24, 2014 the Company completed the sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations
under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements (see note 3).
2) Basis of Presentation
a) Statement of compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 have been prepared in
accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and have been
prepared following the same accounting policies as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2013. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which have been prepared in
accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and
outstanding as at May 12, 2014, the date the Board of Directors approved the interim consolidated financial
statements.
b) Presentation currency
In these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in
United States ("US") dollars. The Company has adopted the US dollar as its presentation currency to facilitate
a more direct comparison to North American oil and gas companies with international operations.
c) Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use
judgment regarding assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as at the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from
estimated amounts as future confirming events occur.
Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the
Company's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
d) Changes in accounting policies
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the
accounting policies disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2013, except for the retrospective adoption of the following interpretation effective January 1, 2014:
International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 21 Levies clarified that an entity recognizes a
liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching
a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarified that no liability should be anticipated before the minimum
threshold is reached. The adoption of this interpretation did not have an impact to the Company's condensed
interim consolidated financial statements.
3) Discontinued operations
The Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") on February 7, 2014 with First Oil Expro Limited
("FOE") pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, FOE agreed to purchase from
the Company (the "Transaction") all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Antrim's UK
subsidiary, Antrim Resources (N.I.) Limited ("ARNIL") for $53 million in cash, plus the assumption of certain
liabilities and adjusted working capital, from which Antrim would settle on closing all outstanding obligations
under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements. The economic date of the transaction was January 1, 2014 and a $5
million deposit was received in February 2014. On April 24, 2014 the Company completed the sale of ARNIL.
The major classes of assets and liabilities comprising the operations classified as held for sale at the
balance sheet date are as follows:

During the period, the Company capitalized $nil (2013 - $61) of general and administrative costs and $nil (2013
- $35) of share-based compensation related to development activity.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $12.1 million related to Causeway
following further delays in completing the Causeway electric submersible pump and water injection facilities
together with additional significant capital cost overruns on the project. The Causeway CGU was written down to
the estimated recoverable amount based on fair value less cost of disposal. The estimated fair value was
determined using future cash flows adjusted for risks specific to the asset and discounted using an after tax
discount rate of 15%.
At December 31, 2013, the Company assessed the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment assets for
indicators of impairment. For assets to be disposed of, the recoverable amount is fair value less costs of
disposal rather than value in use. In 2014, the Company agreed to the sale of the Company's Causeway, Kerloch
and Cormorant East assets to be structured as a sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares in Antrim's UK
subsidiary, Antrim Resources (N.I.) Limited ("ARNIL") for $53 million in cash, plus the assumption of certain
liabilities. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $14.6 million with
respect to the proposed transaction and assets to be disposed of.

$nil (2013 - $33) of share-based compensation related to exploration and evaluation activity.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $7,006 relating to the West
Causeway licence as the licence was nearing the end of its exploration term.

/T/
In January 2013, the Company entered into a $30 million payment swap transaction ("Payment Swap") with a major
financial institution. Under the terms of the transaction, $30 million was repayable in 29 instalments
commencing September 2013 and concluding January 2016. To enable the Company to pay amounts under the payment
swap the Company also entered into a Brent Oil Price Commodity Swap ("Oil Swap") to forward sell 657,350
barrels of Brent crude oil at an initial fixed price of $89.37 covering the period from February 2013 to
December 2015. In December 2013 the fixed price was reduced to $81.21 per barrel in exchange for amendments to
the Payment and Oil Swap (see note 13).
The estimated fair value of the credit-adjusted financial derivative on inception was $7,133. The payment swap
was measured based on the present value of the cash received offset by the fair value of the financial
derivative. The actual principal amount of bank debt outstanding at March 31, 2014 is $20,650 (December 31,
2013 - $24,650). The payment swap is accreted to its face value through a charge to earnings using the
effective interest method at a discount rate of 24.3%. Transaction costs of $1,423 are amortized over the term
of the contract.
On April 24, 2014 the Company completed the sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations under its
Payment and Oil Swap agreements. The amount paid in April 2014 to settle the Payment Swap, including interest
and other fees, was $20,795.

At March 31, 2014, the estimated undiscounted decommissioning obligations are $4,309 (December 31, 2013 -
$4,269). The undiscounted obligation is forecast to be payable in 2016.
The change in estimate in 2013 is primarily related to increased costs estimates for the reclamation of
producing wells as well as water injection and suspended wells.
The present value of the decommissioning obligations has been calculated using a risk-free interest rate of
2.17% (2013 - 2.17%) and an inflation rate of 2.0% (2013 - 2.0%).

9) Share-based compensation
The Company has a program whereby it may grant options to its directors, officers and employees to purchase up
to 10% of the issued and outstanding number of common shares. The exercise price of each option is no less than
the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. Stock option terms are determined by the
Company's Board of Directors but options typically vest evenly over a period of three years from the date of
grant and expire five years after the date of grant.
Share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $141 (2013 - $317) of which $141 (2013 -
$249) was expensed and $nil (2012 - $68) was capitalized.

(1) In March 2013, the Company decided not to proceed with development of
the Fyne Field using an FPSO. The Company continues to hold the licence
pending further evaluation using buoy technology.
(2) Subsequent to March 31, 2014 Antrim no longer has these commitments
following the sale of ARNIL in April 2014.

Contingencies
In 2011, the Company entered into a variation to an existing contract for drilling management services in the
UK North Sea which required the drilling of two wells, estimated to take 50 days in a letter of intent
preceding the contract variation. The Company contends that it met its contractual obligations under this
variation through the drilling of the Erne pilot well (21/29d-11) and the Erne sidetrack well (21/29d-11Z). The
drilling of these two wells took place over a period of 58 days. Subsequent to releasing the rig, the Company
received an invoice from the drilling management services contractor charging the Company for approximately $5
million in additional costs as the contractor claims all conditions of the contract had not yet been satisfied.
In July 2012, the drilling management services contractor filed a claim against the Company for the additional
invoice costs plus interest and lost management time. The Company has filed a defence against this claim in the
High Court of England and Wales and believes it is more likely than not that it will not have to pay. As a
result, a contingent liability has not been recorded. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 Antrim is no longer involved
with this claim as the claim was retained by ARNIL as part of the ARNIL sale.
13) Financial instruments and financial risks
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently
accounted for based on their classification. The classification categories, which depend on the purpose for
which the financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics include held-for- trading, available-
for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, investments, and other liabilities. Except in very limited
circumstances, the classification is not changed subsequent to initial recognition.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, debt and financial derivative. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts
receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are accounted for at amortized cost. Accounts payable
are classified as other liabilities and are accounted for at amortized cost. Due to the short-term maturity of
these financial instruments, fair values approximate carrying amounts. Debt is classified as other financial
liabilities and is accounted for at amortized cost. The financial derivative is classified as a financial
liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial risks
The Company is exposed to financial risks encountered during the normal course of its business. These financial
risks are composed of credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk including commodity price and foreign
currency exchange risks.
(a) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to discharge their obligations to the
Company on its cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and certain non-current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are on deposit with reputable Canadian and international banks,
and therefore the Company does not believe these financial instruments are subject to material credit risk. The
Company sells all of its production to one oil and natural gas marketer and therefore is subject to
concentration risk. Management does not believe that this concentration of credit risk will result in any loss
to the Company based on past payment experience and its investment grade credit rating as established by
independent credit rating agencies.
The Company's sales from discontinued operations in 2013 and 2014 were all to a single customer. Factors
included in the assessment of accounts receivable for impairment are the relationship between the purchaser and
the Company and the age of the receivable.
/T/
The extent of the Company's credit risk exposure is identified in the
following table:
March 31 December 31
2014 2013
------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents 686 1,082
Accounts receivable 250 184
------------------------------
936 1,266
------------------------------
------------------------------
/T/
The Company's credit risk exposure with respect to assets held for sale is identified in the following table:
/T/
March 31 December 31
2014 2013
------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents - -
Restricted cash 6,070 6,687
Accounts receivable 1,432 3,512
------------------------------
7,502 10,199
------------------------------
------------------------------
/T/
(b) Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to liquidity risk from the possibility that it will encounter difficulty meeting its
financial obligations. The Company manages this risk by forecasting cash flows in an effort to identify future
liabilities and arrange financing, if necessary. It may take many years and substantial cash expenditures to
pursue exploration and development activities on all of the Company's existing undeveloped properties.
Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds from outside sources in order to explore and
develop its properties. There is no assurance that adequate funds from debt and equity markets will be
available to the Company in a timely manner.
As at March 31, 2014 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $5,072 compared to a working capital
surplus of $788 as at December 31, 2013. The Company was also in breach at March 31, 2014 of certain covenants
including its capex reserve and debt service cover ratio covenants. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 the Company
completed the sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations under its Payment and Oil Swap agreements.
The sale of ARNIL eliminated the working capital deficiency and reduced the Company's contractual obligations
and commitments (see note 12).
(c) Market risk
Market risk consists of commodity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk.
Commodity price risk
Currently all of the Company's production revenue is from one property in the UK. Commodity price risk related
to crude oil production represents a significant market risk exposure. Crude oil prices and quality
differentials can be influenced by global supply and demand factors as well as political events, quotas imposed
on members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and weather.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had the following financial derivative contract:
/T/
Undelivered Fixed Fair

Derivative Term Bbl $/bbl $
=---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oil Swap April 2014 - December 2016 467,287 $81.21 10,541

For the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 the financial derivative
liability movements were:
/T/

Unrealized loss on financial derivative 2,971 3,250
------------------------------
Closing balance 10,541 8,158
------------------------------
------------------------------
/T/
On April 24, 2014 the Company completed the sale of ARNIL and settled its outstanding obligations under its
Payment and Oil Swap agreements. The amount paid in April 2014 to settle the Oil Swap was $10,864.
Foreign currency exchange risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as many of the Company's financial
instruments are denominated in United States dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds sterling ("GBP "). As
a result, fluctuations in the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and British pound sterling could
result in unanticipated fluctuations in the Company's financial results. The Company seeks to minimize foreign
exchange risk by holding cash and cash equivalents in United States dollars when not required in support of
current operations.
Capital management
The Company's objective when managing its capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern, maintain adequate levels of funding to support its exploration and development program, and provide
flexibility in the future development of its business. The ability of the Company to successfully carry out its
business plan is dependent upon the continued support of its shareholders, attracting joint venture partners,
the discovery of economically recoverable reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain financing to
develop reserves. The Company maintains and adjusts its capital structure based on changes in economic
conditions and the Company's planned requirements. The Company may adjust its capital structure by issuing new
equity and/or debt, selling assets, and controlling capital expenditure programs. The Company intends to fund
its planned capital program through existing cash resources, debt and through cash generated from production at
Causeway.
The Company's capital structure at March 31, 2014 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, bank debt and
shareholders' equity. Shareholders' equity includes shareholders' capital, contributed surplus, and accumulated
other comprehensive loss and deficit.
/T/
The capital structure of the Company consists
of:
March 31 December 31
2014 2013
------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents 686 1,082
Shareholders' equity 20,376 28,712
------------------------------
21,062 29,794
------------------------------
------------------------------
/T/
Current restrictions on the availability of credit may limit the Company's ability to access debt or equity
financing for its development projects. The Company forecasts cash flows against a range of macroeconomic and
financing market scenarios in an effort to identify future liabilities and arrange financing, if necessary.
Although the Company may need to raise additional funds from outside sources, if available, in order to develop
its oil and gas properties, the Company seeks to maintain flexibility to manage financial commitments on these
assets.
Methods employed to adjust the Company's capital structure could include any, all or a combination of the
following activities:
(i) Issue new shares through a public offering or private placement;
(ii) Issue equity linked or convertible debt;
(iii) Raise fixed or floating rate debt;
(iv) Sell or farmout existing exploration, development and producing assets.
14) Subsequent event
On April 24, 2014, the Company completed the sale of ARNIL for $53 million in cash plus the assumption of
certain liabilities and adjusted working capital and settled its outstanding obligations under its Payment and
Oil Swap agreements. The amounts paid in April 2014 to settle the Payment and Oil Swap obligations were $20.8
million and $10.9 million, respectively.
