  3. POLARIS INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW

  4. 3 SNAPSHOT  Own and operate San Jacinto Geothermal power plant in Nicaragua  PPA with national grid – contractual price per MWh, with annual escalator, to 2029  Recapitalized in May 2015  “Fixed” balance sheet  New Management and Board  Cash flow positive; initiated dividend in Q2 2016  Strong organic growth expected in cash flow in next 12-18 months

  5. 4 CAPITAL MARKETS SNAPSHOT P I F S y m b o l : Price* (C$): Debt – Mar 31 (US$): C$16.82 178.6 mm Shares Outstanding (FD): Enterprise Value (US$): 15.7 mm 331 mm Market Cap. (C$): Run Rate EBITDA (US$): 264 mm ~ 50 mm Market Cap (US$): EV/EBITDA: 201 mm ~ 6.6x Cash On Hand – Mar 31 (US$): Quarterly Dividend (US$): 48.4 mm $0.12 * as of June 16, 2017

  6. 5 IMPROVEMENT IN FINANCIAL METRICS Annualized “Run - rate” Results 2 new wells drilled * 2016 reflects annualized results once 2 new wells brought online

  7. 6 RECENT OPERATING RESULT LTS USD million Q4/16 Per Q1/17 Per Share Share Revenue 15.7 13.4 EBITDA 13.3 10.9 Less: Interest & Bank Fees 3.8 3.8 Sustaining Capex * 1.3 1.3 Discretionary CF 8.2 US$0.52/ 5.8 US$0.37/ C$0.71 C$0.51 Less: Principal Repayment 2.1 2.5 Free Cash Flow 6.1 US$0.39/ 3.3 US$0.21/ C$0.53 C$0.29 *As estimated by management, on a long term, average basis.

  8. 7 DIVIDEND GROWTH Ability to raise dividend based on both growth in cash flow and/or payout ratio Note: Q2 2017 payout ratio was impacted by planned turbine maintenance * Calculated using management's estimated sustaining capital expenditure

  9. SAN JACINTO GEOTHERMAL PLANT

  10. 9 PROJECT OVERVIEW  72 MW capacity turbines – both online since January 2013  PPA in US$ for up to 72MW net, to 2029  US$123/MWh in 2017 with 3% per annum price escalator for 6 years; 1.5% per annum thereafter (to 2029)  10 production wells with productive capacity of approximately:  500-525 tph of steam and  1,500-1,700 tph of hot brine.  Production wells 500m to 2,500m in depth  Current steam can result in power capacity of approx. 60-65 MW (net of ~5 MW internal consumption)  6 Injection wells re-inject the hot brine into the reservoir to create a “closed loop” – renewable energy in literal sense  Plant re-certified for CO2 credits - ~250,000 tons per year available

  12. 2015/2016 SAN JACINTO DRILLING PROGRAM

  14. 13 2015/2016 DRILLING PROGRAM  Drilled 3 new wells – target 2 new production wells ($23.4MM)  SJ 6-3  SJ 9-4  SJ 14-1  Mechanical “workover” of 4 existing injection wells ($8.2MM)  Selected infrastructure investments ($6.4 million):  Roads  Drilling pads  New separation station  Well connection piping etc

  15. 14 DRILLING PROGRAM RESULTS

  16. FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS

  17. 16 FUTURE GROWTH OPTIONS  San Jacinto geothermal project  Drilling further production and injection wells  Plant output optimization projects  Binary Unit  Carbon credits  Develop Western Sector  Acquisitions / Project Development  Casita – San Cristobal Geothermal Field Feasibility and Development Project

  18. 17 FURTHER PRODUCTION WELLS  Drilling rig is on-site, available  Have 2-3 well sites identified  Will validate location(s) through planned geological studies in Q1 -Q2 2017  Target commencement of drilling July 2017  Likely to drill shallow wells to target “steam cap”  Steam cap is a key development in the lifecycle of the San Jacinto resource  Estimate cost of approximately $7.5 million / well  Capital cost is funded by internal cash  Possible long-term expansion into Western Sector of San Jacinto concession

  19. 18 BINARY UNIT  Separate generating unit – generates power from hot geothermal fluids (brine) before reinjecting  Low risk means of generating additional power  No exploration risk  Low technical risk  Competitive nature of OEM market will result in attractive pricing  Design finalized – procurement finalized July/August timeframe  Total cost of approximately $30 million  Estimate additional 8 – 10 MW  Equates to approx. $6 – 8 million additional cash flow  Approx. 4-5 year payback

  20. 19 NEAR TERM CAPACITY GROWTH Pre-Existing Productive Capacity (net) ~50 MW 2015/2016 Drilling Program ~10 – 12 MW Current Productive Capacity (net) * ~60 – 62 MW 2017 Drilling Program ~0 – 10 MW Plus: Binary Unit ~8 – 10 MW Total (net) ~68 – 82 MW * Until infrastructure improvements in Q3-Q4 2017 are complete, power production will be constrained by ~2 MW

  21. 20 NEAR TERM GROWTH IMPACT In Increase ease in in Cash sh Flo low w (% In Incre rease) ase) De-bottleneck Line Capacity $2 - 4 mm (7% to 13%) Two Production Wells $0 - 15 mm (0% to 50%) Binary Unit $7 - 9 mm (23% to 30%) Total (net) $9 - 28 mm (30% to 80%)  Polaris has the capital to significantly grow free cash flow in next 12-18 months  2 options are “risk–free”  Drilling provides upside …with an outcome most likely at the “midpoint”…i.e. $7 -8 million in free cash flow

  22. 21 SAN JACINTO TARGET PRODUCTION Annualized “Run - rate” Results Assuming Binary Unit Assuming 1 new production well * reflects annualized results once new production brought online

  23. 22 ACQUISITIONS/DEVELOPMENT  Grid in Central America is small/fragmented and has a significant number of renewable projects  Numerous – 25-100 MW projects in the region  Large power companies and infrastructure funds not active  Owners are small companies and / or HNW individuals  Implication is that:  Good targets for acquisitions without significant competition  Much higher IRR projects available to develop (i.e. 15-20% IRR vs. 10-12% in North America)

  24. 23 NICARAGUA OVERVIEW  Daniel Ortega President – elected in 2007  Ortega won national election in November 2016 – 5 more years of stability  Highest growth rate and safest country in central America  “Left Leaning” politically but open economically  Polaris project is a showcase project for the country  One of the largest foreign investments in country to date  Renewable energy  World bank and other global development banks as lenders
