Third Quarter Summary

        --  Subsequent to quarter end, on October 20, 2014, the Company
            announced that it entered into an agreement under which
            Fortistar LLC, the Purchaser will acquire all of the Primary
            Energy's outstanding Common Shares for cash at a price of
            US$5.40 or an estimated Cdn$6.13 equivalent per Common Share. 
            Shareholders will be asked to approve the Arrangement Agreement
            at a special meeting on December 9, 2014. Shareholders of
            record on October 27, 2014 will be entitled to vote.

        --  On July 12, 2014, the host completed the reline of the furnace
            that drives both the North Lake and Harbor projects eight days
            ahead of the projected completion date.  As expected the reline
            decreased revenue within the quarter.

        --  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company's
            facilities had average availability of 95.7% compared to 83.1%
            for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

        --  During the last week of September 2014, an unplanned outage
            occurred at the North Lake facility due to a loss of a 4th
            stage blade on the low pressure turbine.  The unit returned to
            service after a nine-day outage and will operate with a modest
            production de-rate until the unit is repaired. The total
            estimated cost for the outage will range between $1.5 to $2.5
            million excluding property and business interruption insurance
            proceeds. The Company disclosed the outage to the Fortistar LLC
            consortium prior to the announcement of the sale of the
            Company; the financial impact of this event has been included
            in the per share price disclosed to shareholders.

        --  The Company declared and paid the second quarter of 2014
            dividend totaling $0.07 per Common Share to shareholders
            resulting in a total cash payout of $3.1 million in August
            2014.  In accordance with the terms of the Arrangement
            Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined
            that the declaration and payment of all future dividends on the
            Common Shares will be suspended pending completion of the
            Arrangement Agreement.

"The proposed agreement with Fortistar provides substantial value to our shareholders. Fortistar is an experienced owner of combined heat and power and waste heat to power projects and our business will be in good hands once the transaction closes," said John Prunkl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Primary Energy. "The offer was unanimously approved by the board and has strong shareholder support in addition to the major shareholders that participated in the lock up agreement. We look forward to the shareholder meeting on December 9th."

Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

The Company's revenue was $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to revenue of $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 28.4%. $3.0 million of the decrease is the result of deferred revenue being recorded at the Cokenergy facility in accordance with lease accounting requirements. Revenue at the North Lake facility decreased by $0.9 million primarily due to reduced host operating levels which were impacted by the blast furnace reline that was completed in July 2014 and an unplanned outage during the third quarter of 2014. Revenue at the Portside facility decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to a reduction in the tiered pricing of steam which became effective upon exceeding a specified annual volume of production in accordance with the new contract which began on September 1, 2013. Revenue at the Ironside facility increased by $0.1 million primarily due to an unplanned outage beginning in May of 2013 that impacted prior year revenue.

The Company's revenue was $32.5 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared to revenue of $42.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 23.3%. $7.4 million of the revenue decrease is the result of deferred revenue being recorded at the Cokenergy facility in accordance with lease accounting requirements. Revenue at the North Lake facility decreased by $2.2 million primarily due to reduced host operating levels which were impacted by the blast furnace reline that was completed in July 2014, weather and operating challenges occurring earlier in the year and an unplanned outage. Revenue at the Portside facility decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to a reduction in the tiered pricing of steam which became effective in March 2014 upon exceeding a specified annual volume of production in accordance with the new contract which began on September 1, 2013. Revenue at the Ironside facility increased by $0.3 million primarily due to an unplanned outage beginning in May of 2013 that impacted prior year revenue.

Operations and maintenance expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $9.1 million compared to $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $4.0 million or 79.1%. The Company incurred periodic costs during the third quarter of 2014 of $5.4 million for boiler retubing work, $0.5 of plant refurbishment expenditures and $0.1 million for an unplanned turbine generator repair. Periodic costs for the third quarter of 2013 were $1.7 million, comprised of boiler retubing work and final cost adjustments of the emergency boiler repairs. These increased expenses were offset by a reduction in expenses of $0.2 million related to boiler repair work and $0.1 million of general maintenance.

Operations and maintenance expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $27.6 million compared to $14.6 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $13.0 million or 88.8%. The Company incurred periodic costs for the first nine months of 2014 of $15.0 million for boiler retubing work, $1.9 of plant refurbishment expenditures, $0.5 million of condenser retubing work and $0.1 million for an unplanned turbine generator repair. Periodic costs for the first nine months of 2013 were $4.7 million for boiler retubing work, $0.6 million for an emergency boiler repair and $0.1 million for ductwork repairs. In addition, for the first nine months of 2014 the Company had increased operations and maintenance expenses related to general maintenance of $0.5 million, boiler repair work of $0.2 million and contracted services of $0.2 million.

General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $2.4 million compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.3 million or 13.2%. The Company had increased professional fees of $0.2 million (which is the net of $0.4 million of expenses related to the strategic review offset by reduced consulting fees of $0.2 million) and other general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million.

General and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $7.0 million compared to $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $1.0 million or 15.6%. The Company had increased professional fees of $1.0 million (of which $0.9 million was related to the strategic review) and other general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million. These increased expenses were offset by a reduction in IT expenses of $0.1 million and reduced accrued property taxes of $0.1 million.

Employee benefits expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $2.0 million compared to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase is due to $0.2 million of employee cost offset by a reduction in stock based compensation of $0.1 million.

Employee benefits expense for the first nine months of 2014 was $5.5 million compared to $5.0 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase of $0.5 million is due to employee costs of $0.3 million and stock based compensation of $0.2 million.

Equity in earnings of the Harbor Coal joint venture for the third quarter of 2014 was $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $0.1 million. Blast furnace operations during the third quarter of 2014 negatively impacted revenue generated by the joint venture primarily due to the effects of the blast furnace reline (completed in July 2014) and the subsequent production ramp up process.

Equity in earnings of the Harbor Coal joint venture for the first nine months of 2014 was $(0.1) million compared to $0.7 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million. Blast furnace operations during the year negatively impacted revenue generated by the joint venture primarily due to the effects of the blast furnace reline that was completed in July 2014 and the subsequent production ramp up process.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $5.8 million compared to $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, a difference of $5.7 million. Operating loss for the first nine months of 2014 was $15.4 million compared to operating income of $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, a difference of $16.5 million.

Net loss and comprehensive loss for the third quarter of 2014 was $4.1 million compared to $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $3.4 million.

(1)Revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is not reflective of $3.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of deferred revenue recorded at the Cokenergy facility in accordance with lease accounting requirements.

(2)As used herein, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is reconciled to net loss and comprehensive loss in the table below. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may differ materially.

(3)As used herein, references to Adjusted EBITDA are to EBITDA as adjusted for the change in deferred revenue, certain adjustments for major maintenance expenses, professional fees related to the strategic review, loss on derecognition, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative contracts and stock-based compensation that represent recorded expenses based on specific circumstances and are not considered by management to reflect the underlying operating performance of the Company. The Company adjusts for these amounts as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and are not used by management for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net loss and comprehensive loss in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may differ materially.

(4)As used herein, Free Cash Flow means net cash provided by operating activities as adjusted for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is not a recognized measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and may differ materially.

(5)Total Gross Electric Production means the aggregate amount of electricity produced by all of the Company's facilities during the period. The amount is gross generation and is not reduced by internal electric usage of the facilities' auxiliary equipment. The unit of measure is megawatt hours (MWh). Due to the fixed and variable nature of customer contracts, MWh production cannot be directly tied to financial performance.

(6)Total Thermal Energy Delivered means the aggregate amount of heat energy contained in the steam and heated water delivered to customers by all of the Company's facilities during the period. The unit of measure is million of British Thermal Units (MMBTU). Due to the fixed and variable nature of customer contracts, MMBTU production cannot be directly tied to financial performance.

(7)Harbor Coal Utilization is a factor that incorporates the production level of a blast furnace and the amount of coal utilization per unit of blast furnace production as compared to a reference blast furnace production level and coal utilization rate per unit of blast furnace production. The measurement unit is a ratio expressed as a percentage.

Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Total Gross Electric Production, Total Thermal Energy Delivered and Harbor Coal Utilization provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company, facilitate comparisons of historical periods and are indicative of the Company's operating results. Note however, that these items are performance measures only, and do not provide any measure of the Company's cash flow or liquidity, and are not a substitute for IFRS financial measures.

Use of Non-IFRS Measures

Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are important measures in evaluating the underlying performance of the Company's business and allow for comparison of operating performance to historical results.

EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-IFRS metric used by many investors to compare companies on the basis of ability to generate cash from operations. EBITDA represents the Company's capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account management's financing decisions and costs of consuming tangible capital assets and intangible assets which vary according to asset type and management's estimate of useful lives. The Company also uses this calculation as a metric to evaluate cash generation as compared to the amount of dividends paid by Company. Additionally EBITDA is a key metric used in the Company's debt covenant computations and provides insight into liquidity of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess operating performance based on results from the Company's recurring business operations without the effects of (as applicable): depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, loss on derecognition, realized and unrealized gain or loss on derivative contracts, income tax expense as well as net change in deferred revenue and other items that are viewed as expenses based on specific circumstances and are not considered by management to reflect the underlying operating performance of the Company (major maintenance expense, professional fees related to the strategic review and non-cash stock-based compensation expense). The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and are not factors used by management for evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company believes that presentation of this measure enhances an investor's understanding of the Company's operating performance on a normalized basis that allows for comparison to historical periods. Additionally, management and its board use Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in making determinations about future business activity of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of cash provided by operating activities or results of operations determined in accordance with IFRS.

Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate the Company's cash flow from operations after capital expenditures in order to evaluate cash available for other purposes, such as additional capital expenditures, debt repayment, common stock distributions, or other corporate purposes.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. The Company's management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. Three such measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-IFRS financial measures. We believe these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of Company's business.
