FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including with respect to potential and probable reserves, cash flow, value, risked value, timing of drilling and exploration activities, and revenue projections. These statements relate to future events or to future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and that might materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. For example, exploration, drilling, development, construction, or other projects or operations may be subject to the successful completion of technical work; environmental, governmental, or partner approvals; equipment availability; or other things that are or may be beyond our control. Our exploration or development operations that are anticipated, planned, or scheduled may be changed, delayed, take longer than expected, fail to accomplish intended results, or not take place at all. In carrying out exploration, it is necessary to identify and evaluate risks and potential rewards. This identification and evaluation is informed by science but remains inherently uncertain. Subsurface features that appear to be possible traps may not exist at all, may be smaller than interpreted, may not contain hydrocarbons, may not contain the quantity or quality estimated, or may have reservoir conditions that do not allow adequate recovery to render a discovery commercial or profitable. Forward-looking statements about the size, potential, or likelihood of discovery with respect to exploration targets are certainly not guarantees of discovery, of the actual presence or recoverability of hydrocarbons, or of the ability to produce in commercial or profitable quantities. Estimates of potential typically do not take into account all the risks of drilling and completion nor do they take into account the fact that hydrocarbon volumes are never 100% recoverable. Such estimates are part of the complex process of trying to measure and evaluate risk and reward in an uncertain industry. Other factors that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievement can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2014, and in the documents incorporated therein by reference. If any of these risks and uncertainties develop, or if any of our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievement may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking statement contained in or made during this presentation reflects our current views with respect to such future event and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, or otherwise.

FX Energy is Focused on Poland Why Poland

• Poland is underexplored; it still has conventional deposits (vertical wells, no stimulation; high ROI) • Gas prices in Europe at about $7 are significantly higher than U.S. gas at $3-$4

FX knows Poland well • Building reserves since 2003; producing since 2006: 12.6 mmcfe/d avg. for 9m2014 • Successful track record drilling in core area in Poland; exploration success in a new hydrocarbon play

Growth potential • New production: 1Q2016 Karmin to add 2.5 mmcf/d net; 2Q2017 Tuchola could add 10.0 mmcf/d net to FX • New exploration play: Tuchola discovery points to potentially company-making reef play

Note: Reserves in table are per RPS Energy and Hohn Engineering as of 12/31/2013 adjusted for Szymanowice-1, not including Tuchola or Karmin discoveries. Our oil production is entirely in the U.S. and represents 7% of PDP and 0% of PUD; gas production is entirely in Poland and represents 93% of PDP and 100% of PUD. Readers are cautioned not to simply add Tuchola and Karmin reserves to year-end 2013 figures. Production during 2014 and any revisions of previous reserve estimates should also be considered. These figures should be available shortly after year-end 2014.

Polish Gas Prices Are Higher Than U.S.

NASDAQ: FXEN

Europe imports 1/2 of its gas supply, mostly from Russia

Poland imports 2/3 of its gas supply, mostly from Russia/Gazprom • Domestic production: 420 Mmcf/day; 150 Bcf/year; 4.2 Bcm/year • Natural Gas Imports: 1.1 Bcf/day; 400 Bcf/year; 11.2 Bcm/year

The Polish low methane gas tariff dropped 6% from 1,014 to 953 zl/mcm comparing avg. 2014 to 1H2015

Meanwhile, the zloty/dollar exchange rate dropped 14% from 3.15 to 3.65 comparing avg. 2014 to 2/5/2015

Result: the U.S. dollar value of the tariff dropped 18% from $10.36 to $8.45 per mmbtu

The FX wellhead price dropped 18% from $6.99 to $5.70 per mcf (adjusted for energy content)

Note that exploration and drilling costs are denominated in zloty, so largely unaffected by zloty/dollar exchange rate changes

Some FX costs (interest, dividends and a portion of overhead) are denominated in U.S. dollars; these costs have accordingly changed in zloty terms

Poland has significant undiscovered conventional hydrocarbon potential

• Permian Basin extends across Europe: Permian (Rotliegend) gas fields in Poland are direct analogs to those found in the UK and Dutch sectors of the Southern North Sea and onshore Netherlands and Germany

• The North Sea was – and continues to be – explored by dozens of companies

• But only one company (state-owned) was exploring Poland during the Iron Curtain decades

• Geology doesn’t stop at the border; Poland is just under-explored

Rotliegend gas potential • Rotliegend gas fields from the

1980s showed area potential • PGNiG had given up on the

Rotliegend play - too deep for porosity below 2,500 meters

• FX saw high potential with limited exploration risk

• FX combined modern processing procedures with the experience of Polish interpreters

• Fences: FX earned 49%; PGNiG holds 51% and operates

Tuchola structure: western segment may be fault sealed from central and eastern segments

• Estimated 10-18 Bcf (P90-P50) recoverable from Tuchola-3 and Tuchola-4 wells in the western segment of the structure in less than 50 meters of pay

• Massive carbonate buildup (5km sq. x 300 meters) shows potential for world class discoveries in the Edge license

• Central and eastern segments could increase Tuchola reserves to perhaps 35 Bcf recoverable

Edge License: Geological Setting Source, Reservoir, and Seal in the Edge License

• Source: Carboniferous, Devonian and Silurian black shales underlie the Edge license – most old wells had oil/gas shows

• Reservoir: Devonian carbonate buildups and Carboniferous Oolites: potential reservoirs with very high flow rates

• Seal: Zechstein evaporates provide regional seal • Gravity and 2D seismic show potential target areas, help

focus/prioritize seismic • High-quality 3D seismic is critical for Zechstein and deeper

horizons; all prior wells were drilled on 2D seismic

• 3 wells drilled to date: 2 Tuchola wells (commercial) and 1 Angowice well (dry)

• A 300 sq. km. 3D seismic project is now underway on the other 3 blocks

• The Edge license is FX Energy’s exploration priority – it is big, we control it, and we already have our first gas field

• Currently talking with interested parties about a possible farmout

• 730,000 gross and net acres/2,900 sq. km.; FX operates and holds 100% working interest
