 CorEnergy Stakeholder 1Q16 Per Share Financial Metrics  ~1.4x coverage ratio of 1Q16 AFFO per share to 1Q16 dividend allows for return of capital through debt repayment and reinvestment  The Company provides non-GAAP performance measures utilized by REITs, including NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). Due to legacy investments that we hold, we have historically presented a measure of FFO derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense, net, and net distributions and dividend income. Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. See slides 13 and 14 for a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO, as presented, to Net income attributable to CorEnergy common stockholders.  (1) The provision for loan losses, net of taxes, includes the provision for loan loss of ~$4.6 million and income tax benefit of $605 thousand attributed to the Four Wood Financing Note 
 

 Capital Structure  Capitalization   Preferred to Total Equity Ratio: Adjusted ratio of 13.7%, below our 33% target  Financing Ratios Well Below Targets  Total Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio: Adjusted ratio of 33.7%, within our target range of 25-50%  Conservative capital structure limits risk of high fixed costs, such as interest and preferred dividend paymentsRatio of Earnings to Fixed Charges: 2.1xRatio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Preferred Dividends: 1.6xLiquidity available for future investment: $54.2 million available on revolver and $12.8 million of unrestricted cash = $67 million of available liquidity  (1) Sum of CORR and related party debt 
 

 CorEnergy Thesis for Dividend Stability  Direct access to energy infrastructure assets in an investor-friendly REITOwnership of assets which are critical to tenant revenue generationDividends are based solely on minimum rents Long-term lease contracts support CorEnergy revenueCorEnergy retains debt repayment and reinvestment capital prior to dividend paymentTherefore, we believe the $3.00 annualized dividend is a sustainable payout, with upside from portfolio growth and participating rents
