New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 14% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$11.3m market cap, or US$8.20m). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Announcement • Apr 21

New Risk • Nov 25
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 2.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.3% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$14.3m market cap, or US$10.2m). Reported Earnings • Nov 20

Net income: CA$125.0k (up CA$15.2m from 3Q 2023). Profit margin: 5.0% (up from net loss in 3Q 2023). The move to profitability was driven by lower expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 31% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 43% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings. New Risk • Nov 03
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$13.9m (US$9.99m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$13.9m market cap, or US$9.99m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.3% increase in shares outstanding). Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jul 15

High Arctic Energy Services Inc. Commences Rig Operations in PNG High Arctic Energy Services Inc. confirmed that it has commenced rig operations in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) with Rig 115 starting wellbore work activity for one of primary customers. Following the assembly and recommissioning of Rig 115 and equipment on site, work recently commenced on re-entering the wellbore. This key milestone was achieved without incident, building on the 5 years and 2.5 million hours worked without recording an incident in PNG. The efficient movement of High Arctic people and equipment to the wellsite was hindered by unavailability of transportation equipment, significant weather events and Covid-19 induced personnel shortages and travel restrictions which combined to move the commencement date into 2022. High Arctic has been active in Papua New Guinea for nearly fifteen years, conducting work for all the main exploration and production companies including large multi-nationals and companies of regional significance. With the successful resumption of drilling services in PNG, the stage is set for meaningful drilling project announcements during 2022. Board Change • Jan 03
