President's Message

The first six months of 2012 has been a very exciting time in the development of Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. ("Sunshine" or the "Corporation"). We would like to extend a thank you for the continued support and interest that Sunshine received in the first half of 2012. The Sunshine team continues to have the assets and demonstrate the experience and drive to identify and pursue value-adding opportunities. The dedication and entrepreneurial drive from our employees and personnel has significantly advanced our business plans. The Corporation has accomplished several objectives in its short history, with prudent allocation of capital to advance the initial 200,000 barrels per day development at the West Ells, Thickwood and Legend Lake area as well as delineation and planning of our other project areas.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Sunshine's land base and the opportunity on that land base are immense by any measure. The Q1 2012 winter drilling program of 57 wells provided positive results which were recognized in the recent Reserves and Resources

Report, dated May 31, 2012, as independently prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited and GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. These latest additions to our Reserve and Resource base serve to solidify the Corporation's massive resource base as one of the largest in the industry.

The main highlights of the independently prepared Reserves and Resource Reports include the following: 71 billion barrels of Petroleum Initially In Place ("PIIP"), 5 billion barrels of Best Estimate Contingent Resources with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% value of \$6.9 billion, an increase of 1.9 billion barrels representing 36% growth; 80 million barrels of 1P (Proved) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% value of \$312 million, an increase of 78 million barrels; 445 million barrels of 2P (Proved plus Probable) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% value of \$918 million, an increase of 26 million barrels; and 603 million barrels of 3P (Proved plus Probable plus Possible) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% of \$1.6 billion, an increase of 42 million barrels.

The Corporation realized significant increases in Best Estimate PIIP and Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition in both the clastics and carbonates categories. PIIP recognition increased by approximately 26 billion barrels to approximately 71 billion barrels. Clastics Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition increased by 1.2 billion barrels to 3.6 billion barrels primarily due to the Corporation's drilling program located at its core areas of Harper and Opportunity and from additions and drilling at Pelican. Carbonates Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition increased in the Corporation's core areas of Goffer, Muskwa and Portage, adding over 700 million barrels.

Development of our first phase SAGD projects in each of our three main project areas, West Ells, Thickwood and Legend Lake, is being advanced with appropriate commercial extraction techniques and prudent allocation of capital. The first of these Projects at West Ells commenced construction activities during the first six months of 2012. An all season access road was completed during the first half of 2012 and associated infrastructure projects are proceeding. The West Ells access road provides us with a reliable gateway to our project areas and gives us the opportunity to develop and operate in an efficient manner. Since West Ells Phase One construction is underway, we are pleased to report that no major delays have been encountered and project completion status is on cost and

President's Message

on schedule. Thickwood and Legend Lake 10,000 barrel per day projects are progressing through the regulatory process with approvals expected by the middle of 2013. At that time, future applications can be executed for expansion plans at the project areas.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The successful completion of the initial public offering ("IPO") on March 1, 2012 on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, which included raising gross proceeds of HK\$4.5 billion (approximately \$570 million) and securing significant investments from cornerstone investors was a major milestone for Sunshine. With this financing, the Corporation gained a financial platform that validates the size, strength and scope of our assets and business plan.

As part of the IPO, we were pleased to have the support of Premium Investment Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation ("China Investment Corporation"), Sinopec Century Bright Capital Investment Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation, otherwise known as the Sinopec Group ("Sinopec") and EIG Management Company, LLC., as significant investors, and look forward to long-term supportive relationships. We are also encouraged that the Memorandum of Understanding that Sunshine has with Sinopec creates a relationship that provides a range of partnering opportunities including joint venture, which would aid the Corporation with the strength of a significant industry player for enhanced development of certain projects, in terms of size or acceleration. We are engaged with Sinopec and China Investment Corporation in considering joint venture opportunities. Given Sunshine's significant resource holdings, we are pleased to report that we have had increasing interest for joint venture opportunities and asset consolidation. We continue to evaluate and consider the opportunities presented, maintaining a focus to maximize shareholder value and returns.

The Corporation is also working on securing a bank agreement with a consortium of high quality, domestic and international financial institutions. The additional funds are expected to be used to facilitate future phases of development for our projects. The Corporation also continues to evaluate the merits of a Toronto Stock Exchange main board listing. Management believes that it is expected that this application could be completed quickly since the Corporation complies with all reporting requirements of a public company in Canada since becoming a reporting issuer by a decision of the Alberta Securities Commission dated May 1, 2012.

CORPORATE REVIEW

Sunshine is pleased to welcome Laura Sullivan who joined us on July 23. Ms. Sullivan brings strong in-situ oil sands production experience and knowledge from large industry players such as Suncor Energy Inc., Cenovus Energy Inc. and Athabasca Oil Corporation. Ms. Sullivan's role as Senior Vice President, Engineering & Geosciences, complements the strong team in place that is focused on delivering near-term projects as well as looking at longerterm opportunity.

For first half of 2012, the Corporation consistently maintained a disciplined approach in health, safety and environmental issues and remains committed to operating in a socially responsible manner with regularly conducted emergency response training, and safety and environmental audits of our operating facilities.

Sunshine is committed to working with local stakeholders as we build an organization with scale and quality that is intended to be meaningful in a global context, as may be seen in our contracts for the West Ells Project.

President's Message

STRATEGIC POSITIONING

The Corporation is a well positioned organization, with a massive resource base and long term supportive shareholders, to increase value and provide strong returns on our project investments. Sunshine's asset base provides multi-decade, bitumen production and significant investment opportunity for growth for the immediate future and years ahead. The Corporation is a consumer of developed, highly reliable and cost effective technology for the extraction of our resources in a socially responsible manner that creates shareholder value.

The Corporation continues to be an industry leader in the north-western part of the Athabasca oil sands region. The near-term production from the West Ells SAGD commercial thermal project, where first steam is expected by mid-2013, will provide immediate cash flows to invest in our capital projects, Thickwood and Legend Lake, to achieve 30,000 barrels of bitumen production by 2016. The timing of these next projects is expected to align with the expansion and construction of existing and new infrastructure in the region.

Sunshine has an opportunity-rich asset base with 25 billion barrels of discovered oil in clastic reservoirs, where we are initially focusing to start commercial production in 2013, and a carbonate position that is one of the largest in the industry at 46 billion barrels of oil in carbonate reservoirs. The Corporation's knowledge in the carbonates is industry leading, and our successful carbonate pilot at our Harper location, as well as promising public comments from other companies, carbonate projects, encourages our continued initiatives for the development of our massive carbonate resource.

Very seldom is an opportunity such as Sunshine available to investors that captures such tremendous resource and reserves investment potential. The Corporation's unique asset base offers investors immediate exposure to nearterm and rapid production growth; gains from carbonate oil sands translating to increases in Corporation value in addition to a proven opportunity in the clastic reservoirs; upside associated with regulatory approvals that are underway to add further proven reserves; further upside associated with pending expansion applications to add probable reserves; and an opportunity for further expansion in discovered oil in place and resources as we continue with our drilling and technical evaluation work. The Corporation has sound, supportive shareholders including Sinopec, China Investment Corporation, Bank of China and China Life Insurance Company, who collectively own approximately 29% of the common shares issued and outstanding, and together with the Corporation, bring strategic and value-driven focus that is supportive of our plans to develop our long-life, sustainable assets.

The success the Corporation has achieved in our short history has only been possible through the committed efforts of our Board of Directors and our team of dedicated employees. We believe in the great potential of our asset base and recognize that we will need to continue to attract high quality personnel and staff that can utilize ideas and new technologies, employ critical thinking to provide solutions and execute Corporate development plans in order to meet milestones and cultivate shareholder value. We believe the potential Sunshine provides will serve us well as we work to deliver on the opportunities presented. In closing, we extend our sincere thanks to all of our shareholders and stakeholders for your support as we continue to create value in Sunshine.

President and Chief Executive Officer

August 14, 2012

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of the financial condition and performance of Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. ("Sunshine" or the "Corporation") for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 is dated August 14, 2012. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011. All amounts and tabular amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless indicated otherwise.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements in this MD&A are forward-looking statements that are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties and the Corporation hereby cautions investors about important factors that could cause the Corporation's actual results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "going forward", "ought to", "may", "seek", "should", "intend", "plan", "projection", "could", "vision", "goals", "objective", "target", "schedules" and "outlook") are not historical facts, are forward-looking and may involve estimates and assumptions and are subject to risks (including the risk factors detailed in this MD&A), uncertainties and other factors some of which are beyond the Corporation's control and which are difficult to predict. Accordingly, these factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.

Since actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, the Corporation strongly cautions investors against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

All forward-looking statements in this MD&A are expressly qualified by reference to this cautionary statement. The Corporation does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement except as required by law.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This MD&A includes references to financial measures commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as net bitumen revenue, operating earnings, cash flow from operations and cash operating netback. These financial measures are not defined by IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and therefore are referred to as non-IFRS measures. The non-IFRS measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Corporation uses these non-IFRS measures to help evaluate its performance. Management considers net bitumen revenue, operating earnings and cash operating netback important measures as they indicate profitability relative to current commodity prices. Management uses cash flow from operations to measure the Corporation's ability to generate funds to finance capital expenditures and repay debt.

These non-IFRS measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than net income or net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indication of the Corporation's performance. The non-IFRS operating earnings and cash operating netback measures are reconciled to net income, while cash flow from operations is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS, under the heading "Non-IFRS Measurements".

OVERVIEW

The Corporation is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Sunshine's principal operations are the exploration, development and production of its portfolio of oil sands leases. The Corporation's nine principal operating regions in the Athabasca area are at West Ells, Thickwood, Legend Lake, Harper, Muskwa, Pelican Lake, Opportunity, Goffer and Portage.

The Corporation is one of the largest holders of oil sands leases in the Athabasca oil sands region, with over 1,165,350 acres of oilsands leases (equal to approximately 7% of all granted leases in this area), and includes 7,936 acres of Petroleum and Natural Gas ("PNG") licenses. The Athabasca region is the most prolific oil sands region in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Canada's oil sands represent the largest oil resource found in a stable political environment located in the western hemisphere and the third largest oil resource in the world, with 169 billion barrels of estimated resources. The Canadian oil sands comprises the largest single source of supply of oil imported into the United States.

As at June 30, 2012, the Corporation had invested \$532.1 million in oilsands leases, drilling operations, project planning and regulatory application processing. As at June 30, 2012, the Corporation had \$419.5 million in cash and cash equivalents (term deposits) and no debt. The Corporation has raised approximately \$1.0 billion in equity proceeds, including the proceeds from its initial public offering ("IPO") in March 2012.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation had the following highlights. The mid-year reserves and resources have been independently evaluated and approved in compliance with National Instrument 51-101 showing substantial growth from past independent evaluation results dated November 30, 2011. The main highlights are summarized as follows:

  • approximately 71 billion barrels of Petroleum Initially In Place ("PIIP");
  • approximately 5 billion barrels of Best Estimate Contingent Resources, an increase of 1.9 billion barrels, with a low estimate of 2 billion barrels and high estimate of 11 billion barrels. Best Estimate aggregate pre-tax PV10% value is now \$6.9 billion, an increase of \$1.8 billion representing 36% growth;
  • 80 million barrels of 1P (Proved) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% value of \$312 million, an increase of 78 million barrels;
  • 445 million barrels of 2P (Proved plus Probable) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% value of \$918 million, an increase of 26 million barrels; and
  • 603 million barrels of 3P (Proved plus Probable plus Possible) reserves with an aggregate pre-tax PV10% of \$1.6 billion, an increase of 42 million barrels.

The Corporation realized a significant increase in Total PIIP and Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition in both the clastics and carbonates formations. Total PIIP recognition increased by approximately 26 billion barrels to 71 billion barrels. Clastics Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition increased by 1.2 billion barrels to 3.6 billion barrels primarily due to the Corporation's drilling program located at its core areas of Harper and Opportunity and from additions and drilling at Pelican Lake. Carbonates Best Estimate Contingent Resource recognition increased in the Corporation's core areas of Goffer, Muskwa and Portage, adding over 700 million barrels, for a total of 1.3 billion barrels. The Corporation's reserves and resource reports, effective May 31, 2012, were independently prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited and GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE - SECOND QUARTER OF 2012:

Sunshine is a major holder and developer of oil sands resources with approximately 71 billion barrels of total PIIP, targeting 200,000 barrels per day of production from the Corporation's first three project areas: West Ells, Thickwood and Legend Lake.

Sunshine has submitted to the Alberta regulatory authority, the Energy Resources Conservation Board ("ERCB"), three 10,000 barrels per day project applications for commercial production from these first three project areas. The West Ells 10,000 barrels per day project has been approved and construction is in progress.

The Thickwood and Legend Lake 10,000 barrels per day projects are progressing through the regulatory process, with successful completion of the first of two rounds of Supplemental Information Requests ("SIR"). ERCB approvals for the Thickwood and Legend Lake projects are expected to be on schedule for Q2 2013.

West Ells Development

During the first six months of 2012, the Corporation commenced construction activities at its first major project at West Ells. To support West Ells development, the Corporation jointly completed the construction of a 50 kilometre high grade road with an industry player. To date, the Corporation spent \$22.9 million to construct the access road, which is under budget by approximately 16.4%. The West Ells road was completed for light haul in June 2012. The road will be available for heavy haul to transport vessels and modules by September 2012. In addition, the Corporation also constructed 1.6 kilometres of high grade spur road to its West Ells facility site.

The Corporation's West Ells civil work resumed in mid-June after spring break-up and is approximately 40% complete for the well pad, the corridor and the borrow pits. The Central Processor Facility ("CPF") site has been cleared and stripping and fill will begin later this summer. West Ells Phase One has an initial production rate of 5,000 barrels per day, which will be followed by an approved expansion for planned production capacity to 10,000 barrels per day.

As at June 30, 2012, \$69.8 million has been incurred for West Ells equipment, engineering, construction, civil works, drilling and completions and other project related expenditures of the total estimated budget of \$461 million. The Project is currently on schedule and on budget for completion. The facility Front End Engineering and Design ("FEED") is 100% complete, with Detailed Engineering 48% complete. For capital commitments, 100% of the long lead equipment has been ordered and approximately 75% of the secondary long lead equipment has been procured. No major delays have been encountered to date. First steam for Phase One is expected mid-2013.

Thickwood and Legend Lake

In addition to the progress made on the 10,000 barrel per day Project application approval, the Corporation has initiated the FEED for Thickwood. In addition, detailed baseline environmental data collection has been initiated and is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. This work provides information required for Projects applications larger than 2,000 m³ per day (12,000 barrels per day) in anticipation of future development plans at Thickwood, Legend Lake and West Ells.

Cold flow assets

The Corporation continues with the exploration and development of its Muskwa heavy oil assets. As at June 30, 2012, five pads with 39 development wells have produced a cumulative total of 233,808 barrels. Muskwa cumulative production for the first six months of 2012 is 116,340 barrels, representing an average of 639 barrels per day. The Corporation continued production optimization activities in the Muskwa field by implementing new technologies and techniques for enhancing production, sand clean out and other types of wellbore stimulations. The Corporation also commenced construction of its planned pad extension to accommodate the drilling of up to seven additional wells, which are expected to be drilled later in 2012. In June, the Corporation received regulatory approval to install electric heaters on two horizontal wellbores at its Muskwa operations. Field work commenced this summer and is scheduled to be completed in third quarter of 2012. Muskwa remains in the resource definition stage for the Corporation's financial reporting purposes. As a result, the Corporation capitalizes all costs incurred to date including operating costs net of revenues.

As at August 14, 2012, the Board of Directors consists of Mr. Michael John Hibberd and Mr. Songning Shen as executive directors, Mr. Hok Ming Tseung, Mr. Tingan Liu, Mr. Haotian Li and Mr. Gregory George Turnbull as nonexecutive directors and Mr. Raymond Fong, Mr. Wazir Chand Seth, Mr. Robert John Herdman and Mr. Gerald Franklin Stevenson as independent non-executive directors.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation is pleased to announce the results of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fern Energy Ltd. ("Fern") and Sunshine Oilsands (Hong Kong) Ltd. ("Sunshine Hong Kong") for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 together with comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2011 as follows:

NON-IFRS MEASUREMENTS

The following table reconciles the non-IFRS measurements "Net loss for the period" to "Net loss excluding specific items", the nearest IFRS measures. Net loss excluding specific items is defined as net loss as reported, excluding the allocation of IPO costs, finance costs on share repurchase obligation and fair value adjustment on warrants included within finance costs. In addition, a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measurements "Cash used in operations" to "Net cash provided by operating activities" has been provided. Cash flow from operations excludes non-cash finance costs and allocation of IPO costs, interest income, depreciation, share-based payment expense and the net change in non-cash operating working capital, while the IFRS measurement "Net cash provided by operating activities" includes these items.

The Corporation recognized a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of \$4.7 million compared to \$8.5 million for the same period in 2011. For the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the net loss was primarily attributable to general administration costs of \$5.0 million, which includes \$3.4 million for salaries, consulting and benefits and \$1.2 million of other costs for travel and related annual filing and printing costs, share-based payments of \$2.5 million offset by foreign exchange gains of \$2.1 million and interest income of \$0.9 million. For the same period in 2011, the net loss was attributable to \$6.8 million of finance costs related to the share repurchase obligation, \$3.1 million in general administration costs, which includes \$1.2 million for salaries, consulting and benefits and \$1.3 million of other costs for travel costs, \$1.8 million of share-based payments offset by \$2.3 million of a mark to market adjustment on warrants and \$0.5 million of interest income.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation had a net loss of \$37.0 million compared to a net loss of \$54.7 million for the same period in 2011. The net loss in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to finance costs of \$17.2 million and the expensed portion of IPO costs of \$16.3 million compared to finance costs of \$12.2 million and fair value adjustment on warrants of \$34.5 million for the same period in 2011. The mark to market adjustment on warrants for the second quarter of 2012 was \$Nil since all warrants were repurchased and cancelled on January 4, 2012.

The Corporation had a combined cash and short-term investment balance of \$419.5 million as at June 30, 2012 compared to a combined cash and short-term investment balance of \$85.0 million as at December 31, 2011. The increase in these balances was due primarily to proceeds from the Corporation's IPO of HK\$4.5 billion (approximately \$570.0 million) and the issuance of 923,299,500 shares during the second quarter of 2012 partially offset by capital investments.

The Corporation uses these non-IFRS measurements for its own performance measures and to provide its shareholders and investors with a measurement of the Corporation's ability to internally fund future growth expenditures. These "Non-IFRS Measurements" are reconciled to net income and net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with IFRS under the heading "Non-IFRS Measurements".

Cash flow generated from operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 totaled \$2.9 million compared to cash flow used in operations of \$3.1 million for the same period in 2011. The change resulted from lower finance costs in 2012 compared to 2011 due to the extinguishment of the share repurchase obligation in the first quarter of 2012 and from foreign exchange gains.

Cash flow used in operations for the first half of 2012 totaled \$5.8 million compared to \$5.0 million for the same period in 2011. The change resulted primarily from the settlement of warrants, which eliminated the fair value adjustment on warrants in the first quarter of 2012.

Total finance expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 decreased by \$6.7 million from \$6.8 million to \$0.1 million compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the extinguishment of the share repurchase obligation. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation recorded \$66,201 in accretion for its decommissioning liability compared to \$32,416 for the same period in 2011. The Corporation also recognized \$6.8 million for non-cash finance costs on the share repurchase obligation, net of \$1.3 million which was capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Total finance costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by \$5.0 million from \$12.2 million to \$17.2 million compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to non-cash finance costs attributable to the share repurchase obligation and the expensed portion of share issue costs on the redeemable shares. For the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation recorded finance costs of \$5.9 million in total on the share repurchase obligation compared to \$13.6 million for the same period in 2011. Of this amount, \$1.9 million was capitalized in exploration and evaluation assets for the first six months of 2012 compared to \$1.5 million for the same period of 2011. The remaining amount of \$3.7 million was expensed in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to \$12.1 million in the same period in 2011. The finance cost associated with the redeemable shares is a result of the accounting treatment of these shares. In conjunction with an equity financing completed in February 2011, common shares were issued to subscribers whereby a put right ("Share Redemption Rights") was agreed to pursuant to the terms and conditions of the subscription agreements ("Subscription Agreements"). According to the Share Redemption Rights, the subscribers, in specific circumstances and at the option of the subscribers, could have required the Corporation to repurchase, for cancellation, all common shares issued under the Subscription Agreements at a redemption price equivalent to the subscription price plus a 15% annual rate of return, compounded annually, if the Corporation did not complete an IPO no later than December 31, 2013. As a consequence, the put right in the Subscription Agreements resulted in these shares being presented as financial liabilities in the Corporation's statement of financial position in 2011. The redeemable shares were accounted for using amortized cost and the effective interest on the redeemable shares for the period was included in finance expense up to March 1, 2012, the date on which the put right was extinguished with the closing of the Qualifying IPO and listing on the SEHK.

Pursuant to this event, immediately prior to the IPO closing and listing, the redeemable Class "B" common shares converted to Class "A" common shares and the redemption rights of all redeemable common shares were removed with the completion of the Qualifying IPO and listing. Total transaction costs of \$17.8 million, which were netted against the share repurchase obligation, included cash fees paid of \$11.4 million and \$6.4 million assigned as fair value of fee warrants issued to finders. The carrying value of these transaction costs was allocated to share issue costs for \$4.7 million. The remainder of \$13.0 million was included in finance costs as the expensed portion of share issue costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation drew and repaid \$30.0 million on an available \$100.0 million credit facility. The credit facility was signed in the third quarter of 2011 with an effective date of October 31, 2011. The loan was classified as a financial liability and accounted for as other liabilities at amortized cost. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, total finance costs of \$266,090 were recognized, of which \$236,873 was capitalized in exploration and evaluation assets with the remaining \$29,217 expensed in finance costs.

Accretion for the unwinding of decommissioning obligation was \$137,575 for the second quarter 2012 compared to \$61,658 in the same period 2011.

FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT ON WARRANTS

For the three month period ended June 30, 2011, a mark to market gain on warrants of \$2.3 million was recognized compared to \$Nil for the same period of 2012. A mark to market loss on warrants of \$34.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was recorded compared to \$Nil for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. All warrants were repurchased and cancelled on January 4, 2012.

EXPENSED PORTION OF IPO COSTS

The expensed portion of IPO costs was \$44,460 and \$16.3 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to \$Nil for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011. For the first half of 2012, the expense is comprised of \$5.3 million for bonuses and \$11.0 million for IPO related costs such as legal and audit fees.

The fair value of share-based payments associated with the granting of stock options and preferred shares is recognized by the Corporation in its consolidated financial statements. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was \$2.5 million and \$4.7 million, respectively, compared to \$1.8 million and \$3.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in share-based payment expense is primarily the result of the Black-Scholes valuations for the Corporation's stock options granted in the first half of 2012. The Corporation capitalizes a portion of the share based compensation expense associated with capitalized salaries and benefits. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation capitalized \$1.3 million and \$2.7 million, respectively, of share based payments to exploration and evaluation assets compared to \$2.0 million and \$3.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.

General and administrative expense, which includes salaries, consulting and benefits, rent, and other general administrative costs, for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by \$2.2 million to \$4.9 million compared to \$2.7 million for the same period in 2011.

General and administrative expense, which includes salaries, consulting and benefits, rent, and other general administrative costs, for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by \$4.1 million to \$8.5 million compared with \$4.4 million for the same period in 2011.

The increase in expense is primarily the result of growth in Corporation's professional staff and office costs to support the operation and development of our oil sands assets. The head office headcount (including employees and consultants) grew from 94 as of June 30, 2011 to 137 as at June 30, 2012. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation capitalized salaries, consulting and benefits, rent and other general administrative costs related to capital investment of \$2.4 million and \$5.0 million, respectively, compared to \$1.6 million and \$2.8 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation expense increased by \$19,129 to \$65,608 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012. This compared to depreciation expense of \$46,479 for the same period in 2011. For the first half of 2012, depreciation expense was \$125,982 compared to \$83,841 for the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased computer equipment purchases.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 increased by \$2.5 million and \$9.1 million, respectively, to \$3.0 million and \$10.0 million, respectively, compared to \$0.5 million and \$0.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2011. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, the increase was primarily due to foreign exchange gains of \$2.1 million and \$9.0 million, respectively, on foreign held cash funds converted to Canadian dollars. The Corporation also earned interest income of \$0.9 million and \$1.0 million, respectively, on higher cash equivalents balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to \$0.5 million and \$0.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.

INCOME TAXES

The Corporation's deferred income tax expense changed by \$0.5 million for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 to \$Nil compared to a recovery of \$0.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 and an expense of \$0.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The change in deferred income tax expense in 2012 compared to 2011 relates primarily to unrecognized tax losses. Recognition of tax losses is based on the Corporation's consideration of its internal development plan for its asset base and the assumption as to whether or not these tax losses will be utilized before their expiry dates.

With the close of its IPO and listing on March 1, 2012 on the SEHK, the Corporation has sufficient capital to go beyond its current obligations and does not anticipate raising new equity capital in the near future. Management believes its current capital resources and its ability to manage cash flow and working capital levels will allow the Corporation to meet its current and future obligations and to fund the development of its 2011/2012 capital program and the other needs of the business for at least the next 12 months. However, no assurance can be given that this will be the case or that future sources of capital will not be necessary. As of June 30, 2012, the Corporation's capital resources are \$516.9 million.

The Corporation also has an available \$100 million credit facility, of which \$Nil was drawn at June 30, 2012. Working capital surplus of \$383.0 million comprised \$419.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, offset by a non-cash working capital deficiency of \$36.5 million.

During the first half of 2012, the Corporation closed its IPO and listed on the SEHK where the Corporation issued 923,299,500 common shares at HK\$4.86 per share raising gross proceeds of HK\$4.5 billion (approximately \$570.0 million). Immediately prior to the IPO closing and listing, the redeemable Class "B" common shares converted to common shares and the redemption rights of all redeemable common shares were removed with the completion of the Qualifying IPO and listing.

The Corporation is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of those rates. This exposure primarily relates to certain expenditure commitments, deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable which are denominated in US dollars and/or HK dollars. The Corporation manages this risk by monitoring foreign exchange rates and evaluating their effects on using Canadian or U.S. vendors as well as timing of transactions. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the fair value of future cash flows.

The Corporation had no forward exchange rate contracts in place as at or during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. If exchange rates to convert from HK dollars to Canadian dollars had been \$0.10 higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash held at June 30, 2012 would have been impacted by approximately \$27,000. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation held HK\$13,770,160 (or approximately \$1.8 million using the June 30, 2012 exchange rate of 7.612) as cash in the Corporation's Hong Kong bank accounts.

The Corporation's \$419.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2012, are held in accounts with a diversified group of highly rated third party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in the Corporation's operating accounts. The cash equivalents portion is invested in high grade liquid term deposits. To date, the Corporation has experienced no loss or lack of access to its cash in operating accounts, invested cash or cash equivalents. However, the Corporation can provide no assurance that access to its invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

While the Corporation monitors the cash balances in its operating and investment accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions or corporations fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash generated from operating activities increased by \$6.0 million to \$2.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to net cash used in operating activities of \$3.1 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is primarily due to the foreign exchange gain realized on foreign held cash funds converted to Canadian dollars.

Cash flow generated from operating activities was \$4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to cash flow used in operating activities of \$3.1 million for the same period 2011 and was impacted by the net change in non-cash working capital. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the net change in non-cash working capital items resulted in an increase in cash flow from operating activities of \$1.5 million compared to a net change of \$Nil for the same period in 2011.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by \$0.9 million to \$5.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to \$5.0 million for the same period in 2011. Cash flow generated from operating activities was \$3.5 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to cash flow used in operating activities of \$5.9 million for the same period 2011 and was impacted by the net change in non-cash working capital. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the net change in non-cash working capital items resulted in an increase in cash flow from operating activities of \$9.4 million compared to a decrease of \$0.9 million for the same period in 2011.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used for investing activities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 increased to \$89.1 million and \$131.5 million, respectively, compared to \$62.1 million and \$105.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2011. This increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, of \$27.0 million and \$26.2 million, respectively, is attributed to the completion of the 2011/2012 capital program investing activities for exploration and evaluation assets and includes changes in non-cash working capital balances period over period for an increase of \$58.8 million and a decrease of \$2.1 million, respectively. The remainder of the increase in investing activities relates to higher interest income earned for \$0.4 million and \$0.1 million, respectively, for the comparative periods. Capital investment for the capital program 2011/2012 has focused on the initial construction and capital costs for the West Ells project, the construction of the West Ells access road and resource delineation.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Financing activities for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, consisted of the repurchase of 23,919,500 common shares, at a weighted average cost of \$0.62 per common share, for total consideration of \$14.7 million, \$5.4 million for payment of share issue costs and partially offset by \$1.0 million for stock option exercises. Net cash used from financing activities for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was \$19.1 million.

Financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, consisted of gross proceeds received from the IPO approximating \$570.9 million, which includes \$1.0 million for stock option exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, also included \$68.9 million and \$14.7 million for the payment to repurchase and cancel all warrants issued and outstanding and the repurchase of common shares, respectively, and partially offset by \$25.4 million for share issue costs, which includes a payment of \$0.5 million for IPO advisory fee.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Corporation drew and repaid \$30.0 million on its credit facility held with Orient International Resources Group Limited. As at June 30, 2012, and as at the date of this MD&A, \$Nil is outstanding on this credit facility. Refer to Section: "Transactions with related parties" for terms and conditions of the credit facility.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Balances and transactions between the Corporation and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation. The Corporation had related party transactions with the following companies related by way of directors or shareholders in common:

  • Orient International Resources Group Limited ("Orient") is a private company controlled by Mr. Hok Ming Tseung, a significant shareholder and director of the Corporation. At June 30, 2012, Orient owned approximately 9.4% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. Orient has provided a credit facility to the Corporation and provides advisory services with respect to various IPO related matters and other strategic topics.
  • MJH Services Ltd. ("MJH Services") is a private company wholly owned by one of Sunshine's Co-Chairmen of the Board of Directors and an Executive Director. MJH Services provides overall operational services to the Corporation.

  • 1226591 Alberta Inc. ("1226591 AB Co.") is private company wholly owned by one of Sunshine's Co-Chairmen of the Board of Directors and an Executive Director. 1226591 AB Co. provides overall operational services to the Corporation.

  • McCarthy Tetrault LLP ("McCarthy's) is a law firm in which a director of the Corporation is a partner. McCarthy's provides legal counsel to the Corporation.

Details of transactions between the Corporation and its related parties are disclosed below.

Advisory Fee Agreement (the "Agreement")

During 2010, the Corporation entered into the Agreement with Orient, in which the Corporation agreed to pay a fee for services to be rendered in connection with an initial filing of an IPO prospectus and listing. The fee is equal to 0.75% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding at the time of the initial filing of an IPO and may be settled at the option of the Corporation by either issuing up to 95% of the fee due in common shares plus cash or 100% of the fee due in cash. The term of the Agreement expires January 20, 2013. On March 1, 2012, the Corporation successfully closed its Qualifying IPO and listing on the SEHK. Pursuant to this event, the obligation owing for the advisory fee was recognized and 13,566,395 common shares were issued for \$8.4 million and cash fee of \$440,933 was paid. Since the terms have been fulfilled, the Agreement has terminated. The service provider is a company which is controlled by a director who is a principal of a significant shareholder of the Corporation, and who also holds a senior management position with the service provider company.

Credit Facility Agreement (the "Credit Facility Agreement")

The Corporation entered into the Credit Facility Agreement with Orient, a non-arm's length lender, in which a credit facility for general working capital purposes is available of up to a maximum of \$100 million. The credit facility was interest free until May 31, 2012, after which interest of 5% is due on a semi-annual basis on the outstanding principal. The loan is unsecured and subordinated, has no stand-by fee and can be repaid at anytime without penalty. The effective date of the agreement is October 31, 2011, and has a term of two years from the date of initial drawdown, which was January 13, 2012. Amounts drawn on the loan will be accounted for as a related party transaction since a director of the Corporation is also the controlling shareholder of the lending company. During the first quarter of 2012, the Corporation drew \$30.0 million on the credit facility and repaid the balance prior to period end. As at June 30, 2012, \$Nil was outstanding on this credit facility.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, total finance costs were \$Nil and \$266,090, respectively, of which \$Nil and \$29,217, respectively, was expensed and \$Nil and \$236,873, respectively, was capitalized as the funds are directly attributable to the development of the Corporation's qualifying assets. Upon repayment of the outstanding balance owing on this credit facility, \$266,090 was recorded to Other Reserve due to the related party nature of this transaction.

The Corporation incurred consulting fees, share-based compensation and performance related incentive payments to MJH Services and 1226591 AB Co. of \$0.4 million and \$0.7 million each, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively (three and six month period ended June 30, 2011 - \$0.4 million and \$0.7 million each, respectively).

During the period, the Corporation entered into the following trading transactions with McCarthy Tetrault LLP:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At June 30, 2012, the Corporation did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

The International Accounting Standard Board (the "IASB") issued a number of new and revised International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), amendments and related Interpretations ("IFRICs") (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "New IFRSs") which are effective for the Corporation's financial period beginning on January 1, 2013. At the date of this report, the IASB has not issued any new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Corporation's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Corporation's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Oil and gas reserves

The process of estimating quantities of reserves is inherently uncertain and complex. It requires significant judgments and decisions based on available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. These estimates may change substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting oil and gas prices and costs change. Reserve estimates are based on, among other things, current production forecasts, prices, cost estimations and economic conditions.

Reserve estimates are critical to many accounting estimates including:

  • determining whether or not an exploratory well has found economically recoverable reserves. Such determinations involve the commitment of additional capital to develop the field based on current estimates of production forecasts, prices and other economic conditions;
  • calculating unit-of-production depletion rates. Proved plus probable reserves are used to determine rates that are applied to each unit-of-production in calculating depletion expense; and
  • assessing development and production assets for impairment. Estimated future net cash flows used to assess impairment of the Corporation's development and production assets are determined using proved and probable reserves.

Independent qualified reserves evaluators prepare reserve estimates for each property at least annually and issue a report thereon. The reserve estimates are reviewed by the Corporation's engineers and operational management familiar with the property.

Bitumen Reserves

The estimation of reserves involves the exercise of judgment. Forecasts are based on engineering data, estimated future prices, expected future rates of production and the timing of future capital expenditures, all of which are subject to many uncertainties and interpretations. The Corporation expects that over time its reserves estimates will be revised either upward or downward based on updated information such as the results of future drilling, testing and production. Reserve estimates can have a significant impact on net earnings, as they are a key component in the calculation of depletion and depreciation and for determining potential asset impairment. For example, a revision to the proved reserves estimates would result in a higher or lower depletion and depreciation charge to net earnings. Downward revisions to reserve estimates may also result in an impairment of oil sands property, plant and equipment carrying amounts.

Recoverability of exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and Evaluation costs ("E&E") are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets by cash generating unit ("CGU") and are assessed for impairment when circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may exceed its recoverable value. This assessment involves judgment as to: (i) the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined; (ii) future revenues based on forecasted oil and gas prices; (iii) future development costs and production expenses; (iv) the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and costs for the purpose of deriving a recoverable value, and (v) potential value to future E&E activities of any geological and geographical data acquired.

Decommissioning costs

A provision is required to be recognised for the future retirement obligations associated with the Corporation's exploration and valuation assets. The decommissioning provision is based on estimated costs, taking into account the anticipated method and extent of restoration consistent with legal, regulatory and constructive requirements, technological advances and the possible use of the site. Since these estimates are specific to the sites involved, there are many individual assumptions underlying the amount provided. These individual assumptions can be subject to change based on actual experience and a change in one or more of these assumptions could result in a materially different amount.

Share repurchase obligation

The Corporation had a share repurchase obligation pursuant to the accounting treatment required under IAS 32. In order to calculate a value for the share repurchase obligation, the effective interest method was applied which is based on estimates and assumptions to determine the effective interest rate. The effects of a change in these estimates or assumptions could result in a materially different amount.

Share-based payments

The Corporation recognises compensation expense on options, preferred shares and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") granted. Compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of each option, preferred share and stock appreciation rights at its grant date, the estimation of which requires management to make assumptions about future volatility of the Corporation's stock price, future interest rates and the timing with respect to exercise of the options. The effects of a change in one or more of these variables could result in a materially different fair value.

RISK FACTORS

The business of resource exploration, development and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Material risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation, their potential impact and the Corporation's principal risk management strategies are substantially unchanged from those disclosed in the Corporation's MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is available at www.sedar.com. The 2011 annual report of the Corporation is available at the Company's website, www.sunshineoilsands.com, and the website of the SEHK, www.hkexnews.hk. The Corporation's 2011 Annual Information Form is available at www.sedar.com.

ADDITIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE INFORMATION

Additional information required by the SEHK in the half-year interim report and now shown elsewhere in this report is as follows:

EMOLUMENT POLICY

The emolument policy of the executives of the Corporation is set up by the Compensation Committee on the basis of merit, qualifications and competence and recommendations from the Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officer. Subject to changes directed by the Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officer, the emolument policy for the rest of the employees is determined on a department by department basis with the executive in charge of each department determining the emoluments for senior employees and managers in the department and the emoluments for non-senior employees being determined by an appropriately designated manager. The emolument policy for non-executives is administered in conjunction with the human resources department and is done on the basis of merit, qualifications and competence.

The emolument policy for the directors of the Corporation is decided by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board, having regard to comparable market statistics. Since the Corporation became a publicly listed company and subsequent to the reporting period, Sunshine confirms that the principles of the above will be applied prospectively with effect from its public listing.

The Corporation also has stock option plans for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors (the "Stock Option Plans"). The options vest over a period ranging up to three years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Stock Option Plans will have an exercise price that is not less than the price of the most recent private placement, or, if the common shares are listed on a stock exchange, the price which is, from time to time, permitted under the rules of any stock exchange or exchanges on which the common shares are then listed.

Share options and preferred shares issued to employees

Equity-settled share-based payments to directors, officers and employees, providing services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments, less the fair value of the proceeds received on issuing the equity instruments at the issue date.

The fair value of the equity instruments, including share options, warrants or preferred shares, expected to vest as determined at the issue date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period, unless the services are directly attributable to qualifying assets, with a corresponding increase in equity (reserve for share based compensation).

At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserve for share based compensation.

At the time when the equity instruments are exercised or converted, the amount previously recognised in reserve for share based compensation will be transferred to share capital. When the equity instruments are cancelled, they are treated as if they had vested on the date of cancellation and any cost not yet recognised in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss is expensed immediately.

The Corporation records compensation expense at the date of issue, based on fair value and management's best estimate of the prospect of converting some, or all, of the Class "G" and Class "H" preferred shares to Class "A" common shares.

Share options, preferred shares and warrants issued to non-employees

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions, with parties other than employees and directors, are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. The fair values of the goods or services received are recognised as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity (reserve for share based compensation), when the Corporation obtains the goods or when the counterparties render services, unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets or directly attributable to qualifying assets.

As at June 30, 2012, the Corporation employed 79 employees.

CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICE (THE "CODE")

The Corporation is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Corporation recognizes that corporate governance practices are fundamental to the effective and transparent operation of a company and its ability to protect the rights of its shareholders and enhance shareholder value.

Since the Corporation became a publicly listed company during the reporting period on March 1, 2012, the Corporation confirms that the Code was complied with following its public listing, save that the Corporation has not entered into formal letters of appointment with its directors and therefore will deviate from Code Provision D.1.4 of the Code. The Corporation will deviate from Code Provision D.1.4 of the Code since each of the Directors will be appointed on an annual basis at each annual general meeting, which is consistent with market practice in Canada.

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There was no change in the Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recently completed quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED COMPANIES (THE "MODEL CODE")

The Corporation confirms that it complied with the Model Code following its public listing.

The Corporation adopted policies regarding directors' securities transactions in its Corporate Disclosure and Trading Policy that has terms that are no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code of Appendix 10 of the rules governing the listing of securities on the SEHK.

The Board of Directors confirms that all the Directors of the Corporation have complied with the required policies in the Corporate Disclosure and Trading Policy throughout the six months ended June 30, 2012.

There were also Nil and 934,300, respectively, forfeitures of pre-IPO stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Post-IPO Stock Option Plan:

On January 26, 2012, the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan (the "Post-IPO Stock Option Plan") dated January 26, 2012, was approved and adopted by shareholders at the Corporation's Annual General and Special Meeting. The Post-IPO Stock Option Plan was effective immediately prior to the Corporation's listing on the SEHK, March 1, 2012. The maximum number of Class "A" common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan is 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares, less the maximum aggregate number of shares underlying the options already granted pursuant to the Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan. Options granted under the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan will have an exercise price that is determined by the Board of Directors but is not less than the higher of the closing price and the five day average closing price of Class "A" common shares, listed on the SEHK.

The Corporation granted 3,794,430 post-IPO stock options at a weighted average exercise price of HK\$4.86 (\$0.64) per stock option for the six months ended June 30, 2012. There were Nil forfeitures of post-IPO stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. (the "Corporation"), was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on February 22, 2007. The address of the Corporation's principal place of business is 1020, 903 - 8 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 0P7, Canada. The Corporation's shares were listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("SEHK") on March 1, 2012 and trade under the stock code symbol "2012". On January 26, 2012, shareholders of the Corporation authorized the Corporation to complete up to a 25:1 share split. The Board of Directors of the Corporation concluded that a 20:1 share split was appropriate, increasing the number of common shares, preferred shares and stock options to 20 times their previous outstanding amounts. All share and stock option information is therefore presented on a post split basis.

The Corporation is engaged in the exploration for, and the development of oil properties for the future production of bitumen in the Athabasca oil sands region in Alberta, Canada.

On May 4, 2012, Sunshine Oilsands (Hong Kong) Limited ("Sunshine Hong Kong") was incorporated in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and is the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The address of the principal place of business for Sunshine Hong Kong is Unit 8504A, 85/F, International Commerce Centre 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon.

The Corporation is a development stage company. The continued existence of the Corporation is dependent on its ability to maintain capital funding to further development and to meet obligations. In the event that such capital is not available to the Corporation, it will be necessary to prioritize activities, which may result in delaying and potentially losing business opportunities and cause potential impairment to recorded assets. The Corporation currently anticipates incurring substantial expenditures to further its capital development program.

12. SHARE CAPITAL

On January 26, 2012, shareholders of the Corporation authorized the Corporation to complete up to a 25:1 share split. Prior to closing the IPO, the Board of Directors of the Corporation concluded that a 20:1 share split was appropriate, increasing the number of common shares, preferred shares and stock options to 20 times their previous outstanding amounts. All share and stock option information is therefore presented on a post split basis. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to remove the voting rights from the Class "G" preferred shares.

The Corporation's authorized share capital is as follows:

  • an unlimited number of Class "A" and Class "B" voting common shares without par value; and
  • an unlimited number of Class "C", Class "D", Class "E" and Class "F" non-voting common shares without par value; and
  • an unlimited number of Class "G" non-voting preferred shares to be issued shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding number of common shares including any common shares that have been authorized for issuance. The authorized number of preferred shares shall not be considered a rolling 10% available number and any preferred shares that are redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms shall permanently reduce the number available; and
  • an unlimited number of Class "H" non-voting preferred shares.

Common shares consist of fully paid Class "A" common shares, which have no par value, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

On January 4, 2012, the Corporation completed the repurchase and cancellation of all purchase warrants. As a result, 14,412,160 purchase warrants with a value of \$2,370,501 were transferred to common shares.

On March 1, 2012, the Corporation successfully closed a Qualifying IPO on the SEHK, issuing 923,299,500 common shares at HK\$4.86 per share, raising gross proceeds of HK\$4,487,235,570 (approximately \$569,880,057) (Note 14). Pursuant to this event, the Corporation recognized an advisory fee owing (Note 18) of HK\$69,402,821 (approximately \$8,818,656). The obligation was settled through the issuance of 13,566,395 common shares for \$8,377,723 and cash paid of \$440,933.

12.1 Fully paid Class "A" common shares (Continued)

Also in conjunction with the Qualifying IPO, the balance of \$230,226,167 of the share repurchase obligation (net of transaction costs of \$17,769,848), including 433,884,300 common shares (originally comprised of 289,256,200 Class "A" common shares and 144,628,100 Class "B" common shares), were reclassified to share capital as the terms of the Subscription Agreements were agreed with the subscription holders to have been met and the share repurchase obligation was extinguished. Prior to closing of the IPO, 144,628,100 Class "B" common shares were exchanged for Class "A" common shares on a one for one basis and then cancelled. Total transaction costs of \$17,769,848, which were netted against the share repurchase obligation, included cash fees paid of \$11,391,611 and \$6,378,237 assigned as fair value of fee warrants issued to finders.

The carrying value of these transaction costs was allocated to share issue costs for \$4,718,679. The remainder of \$13,012,014 has been included in finance costs (Note 15) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

In June 2012, the Corporation repurchased and cancelled 23,919,500 common shares at a weighted average cost per common share of HK\$4.65 (\$0.62), for total consideration of \$14,742,994.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, pursuant to total costs incurred for its IPO, the Corporation recognized an allocation amount of share issue costs of \$21,117,370.

13. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

13.1 Employee stock option plans

Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan:

The Corporation's pre-IPO stock option plan was for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Corporation. The options vest over a period ranging up to three years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will have an exercise price that is not less than the price of the most recent private placement, or, if the common shares are listed on a stock exchange, the price which is, from time to time, permitted under the rules of any stock exchange or exchanges on which the Class "A" common shares are then listed.

On September 9, 2010, the 2009 Stock Option Plan dated May 7, 2009 (the "Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan"), was amended, approved, ratified and adopted by shareholders at the Corporation's Annual General and Special Meeting. The amendment increased the maximum number of Class "A" common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan from 169,289,160 to the greater of 210,000,000 or 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares. Following the IPO listing on March 1, 2012, no further options will be issued under the Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan.

Post-IPO Stock Option Plan:

On January 26, 2012, the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan (the "Post-IPO Stock Option Plan") dated January 26, 2012, was approved and adopted by shareholders at the Corporation's Annual General Meeting. The Post-IPO Stock Option Plan was effective immediately prior to the Corporation's listing on the SEHK, March 1, 2012. The maximum number of Class "A" common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan is 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares, less the maximum aggregate number of shares underlying the options already granted pursuant to the Pre-IPO Stock Option Plan. Options granted under the Post-IPO Stock Option Plan will have an exercise price that is determined by the Board of Directors but is not less than the higher of the closing price and the five day average closing price of Class "A" common shares, listed on the SEHK.

The terms and conditions of each of the respective Stock Option Plans are substantially similar and have been presented below in total.

13.2 Fair value of stock options granted in the period

The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was \$0.31 and \$0.28, respectively, (year ended December 31, 2011: \$0.27). Options were priced using the Black Scholes model. From inception of the Corporation to June 30, 2012, the cumulative weighted average fair value per option is \$0.11. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management's best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions (including the probability of meeting market conditions attached to the option), and behavioural considerations. Expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility from a peer group of listed companies. It was assumed that option holders will exercise the options on average three years from the grant date, with an expected forfeiture rate of 1%.

Pursuant to this event, the balance of the share repurchase obligation of \$230,226,167 (net of total transaction costs of \$17,769,848), including 433,884,300 common shares comprising of 289,256,200 Class "A" common shares and 144,628,100 Class "B" common shares, has been reclassified to share capital as the terms of the Subscription Agreements were agreed with the subscription holders to have been met and the share repurchase obligation has been extinguished. The Class "B" common shares were surrendered for cancellation and exchanged for Class "A" common shares.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, finance costs expensed were \$Nil and \$3,985,564 (2011 - \$6,807,252 and \$12,101,019), respectively, and finance costs of \$Nil and \$1,878,488 (2011 - \$1,312,707 and \$1,528,394), respectively, were capitalized as the funds are directly attributable to the development of the Corporation's qualifying assets.

Of the total transaction costs which were netted against the obligation, \$Nil and \$4,718,679, respectively, have been proportionately allocated to share issue costs with the remainder \$Nil and \$13,012,014, respectively, expensed for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

17.1 Capital risk management

The Corporation can be exposed to financial risks on its financial instruments and in the way that it finances its capital requirements. The Corporation manages these financial and capital structure risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to volatility of the Corporation's financial performance.

The Corporation's strategy is to access capital, through equity issuances and the utilization of debt, in order to maintain a strong capital base for the objectives of maintaining financial flexibility and to sustain the future development of the business. The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments relative to changes in economic conditions and the Corporation's risk profile. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Corporation may from time to time issue shares and adjust its capital spending to manage current working capital levels. The Corporation monitors its working capital in order to assess capital efficiency. The Corporation's capital structure currently includes shareholders' equity and working capital. The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed financial covenants.

On March 1, 2012, the Corporation successfully closed a Qualifying IPO and listing on the SEHK. Pursuant to this event, the balance of the share repurchase obligation, including 433,884,300 common shares (originally comprised of 289,256,200 Class "A" common shares and 144,628,100 Class "B" common shares), were reclassified as the terms of the Subscription Agreements were agreed with the subscription holders to have been met. All Class "B" common shares were exchanged for Class "A" common shares prior to the closing of the IPO and then were cancelled.

There is no change in the Corporation's objectives and strategies of capital management for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012.

The Corporation's capital structure is described below:

June 30, December 31,
2012 2011
Working capital (surplus)/deficiency \$ (383,055,029) \$ 7,096,022
Share repurchase obligation 224,362,115
Shareholders' equity 899,978,854 148,585,650
\$ 516,923,825 \$ 380,043,787

17.2 Significant accounting policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted (including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement, and the basis for recognition of income and expenses) for each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

17.4 Financial risk management

Financial risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The Corporation does not use any derivative financial instruments to mitigate these risk exposures. The Corporation does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

17.5 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as currency risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk will affect the Corporation's net loss. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits. There have been no changes over the prior year to the Corporation's objectives, policies or processes to manage market risks.

The Corporation is exposed to risks arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of those rates. This exposure primarily relates to certain expenditure commitments, deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable which are denominated in US dollars and/or HK dollars. The Corporation manages this risk by monitoring foreign exchange rates and evaluating their effects on using Canadian or U.S. vendors as well as timing of transactions. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the fair value of future cash flows. The Corporation had no forward exchange rate contracts in place as at or during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. If exchange rates to convert from HK dollars to Canadian dollars had been \$0.10 higher or lower with all other variables held constant, foreign cash held at June 30, 2012 would have been impacted by approximately \$27,000.

On March 1, 2012, the Corporation listed on the SEHK, closed its IPO and issued 923,299,500 shares at HK\$4.86 per share for gross proceeds of HK\$4,487,235,570. At June 30, 2012, the Corporation held HK\$13,770,160 (or \$1,809,055 using the June 30, 2012 exchange rate of 7.612) as cash in the Corporation's Hong Kong bank account.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

17.5 Market risk (Continued)

Commodity price risk is the risk that the value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices for petroleum are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. The Corporation has not attempted to mitigate commodity price risk through the use of various financial derivative and physical delivery sales contracts but may consider doing so in the future.

17.6 Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. As at June 30, 2012, the Corporation does not have any floating rate debt.

17.7 Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation's cash, deposits and receivables and GST receivable. As at June 30, 2012, the Corporation's receivables consisted of 66.5% from oil sale receivables, 16.5% of other receivables and 17.0% from GST receivable.

The Corporation is exposed to credit risk on amounts held in individual banking institutions for balances that are above nominal guaranteed amounts. The Corporation periodically monitors published and available credit information of all its banking institutions.

The Corporation's \$419,548,234 in cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2012, are held in accounts with a diversified group of highly rated third party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in the Corporation's operating accounts. The cash equivalents portion is invested in high grade liquid term deposits.

The Corporation is exposed to credit risk from the Corporation's receivables from purchasers of the Corporation's crude oil. At June 30, 2012, there was no allowance for impairment of accounts receivable and the Corporation did not provide for any doubtful accounts nor was it required to write-off any receivables, as no receivables were considered past due or impaired. The Corporation considers any amounts in excess of 120 days past due.

17.8 Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Corporation's approach to managing liquidity is to plan that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, using either equity or bank debt proceeds. The Corporation expects to settle all trade and other payable within 90 days.

The Corporation utilizes authorizations for expenditures to manage its planned capital expenditures and actual expenditures are regularly monitored and modified as considered necessary.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

17.9 Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

The fair value of cash, term deposits, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short term maturity. The Corporation's financial instruments have been assessed on their fair value hierarchy described below.

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

18.1 Trading transactions (Continued)

Advisory Fee Agreement (the "Agreement")

During 2010, the Corporation entered into the Agreement in which the Corporation has agreed to pay a fee for services to be rendered in connection with an initial filing of an IPO prospectus and listing. The fee is equal to 0.75% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding at the time of the initial filing of an IPO and may be settled at the option of the Corporation by either issuing up to 95% of the fee due in common shares plus cash or 100% of the fee due in cash. The term of the Agreement expires January 20, 2013. On March 1, 2012, the Corporation successfully closed its Qualifying IPO and listing on the SEHK. Pursuant to this event, the obligation was settled through the issuance of 13,566,395 common shares for \$8,377,723 and cash paid of \$440,933. Since the terms have been fulfilled, the Agreement has terminated.

The service provider is a company which is controlled by a director who is a principal of a significant shareholder of the Corporation, and who also holds a senior management position with the service provider company.

Credit Facility Agreement (the "Credit Facility Agreement")

The Corporation entered into the Credit Facility Agreement with a non-arm's length lender in which a credit facility for general working capital purposes is available of up to a maximum of \$100 million. The credit facility was interest free until May 31, 2012, after which, interest of 5% is due on a semi-annual basis on the outstanding principal. The loan is unsecured and subordinated, has no stand-by fee and can be repaid at anytime without penalty. The effective date of the agreement is October 31, 2011, and has a term of two years from the date of initial drawdown, which was January 13, 2012. Amounts drawn on the loan will be accounted for as a related party transaction since a director of the Corporation is also the controlling shareholder of the lending company. The loan is a financial liability and would be classified as other liabilities and recorded at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. As at June 30, 2012, \$Nil was outstanding on this credit facility.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, total finance costs were \$Nil and \$266,090, respectively, of which \$Nil and \$29,217, respectively, was expensed and \$Nil and \$236,873, respectively, was capitalized as the funds are directly attributable to the development of the Corporation's qualifying assets. Upon repayment of the outstanding balance owing on this credit facility, \$266,090, respectively, was recorded to Other Reserve due to the related party nature of this transaction.

No guarantees have been given or received. No expense has been recognised in the current or prior periods for bad or doubtful debts in respect of the amounts owed by related parties.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 (Expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
