Introduction to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

On September 30, 2011, Forest Oil Corporation (“Forest”) completed the spin-off of Lone Pine Resources Inc. (“Lone Pine”). The spin-off was completed by means of a special stock dividend, which consisted of a pro rata spin-off of the 70,000,000 shares of Lone Pine common stock owned by Forest, representing approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of Lone Pine, to all holders of record of Forest common stock as of September 16, 2011.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Forest adjust the historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Forest for the spin-off of Lone Pine. The historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Forest set forth below have been derived from and should be read together with the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Forest included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the spin-off occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations were prepared as if the spin-off occurred on January 1, 2010.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of Forest would actually have been had the spin-off occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the results of operations or financial position of Forest for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Unless otherwise indicated, the pro forma adjustments are directly attributable to the spin-off and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of Forest. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidation financial statements have been made.

(a)
Represents the elimination of the results of operations of Lone Pine Resources Inc. The adjustments do not reflect nonrecurring stock-based compensation costs and the related tax effects directly resulting from the spin-off, estimated to be approximately $13 million, approximately $5 million of which was capitalized to oil and gas properties pursuant to the full cost method of accounting, with the offsetting credit going to capital surplus. This is an estimate of actual costs, the expense portion of which will be included in Forest's results of operations. These costs will occur on the date of the spin-off and relate to modifications of Forest stock-based compensation awards, including restricted stock units where a portion of the unamortized stock-based compensation expense was accelerated due to the lifting of restrictions on a portion of the awards, and to Lone Pine employees' stock-based compensation awards vesting in connection with the spin-off.

(b)
The pro forma income tax adjustments include Lone Pine’s historical Canadian income tax provision as adjusted for the income tax effects related to intercompany interest charges between Forest and Lone Pine at statutory rates.
