Dow Jones Description

We are an independent gas and oil exploration and production company with principal production, reserves, and exploration activities in Poland, although we have modest oil production and oilfield service activities in the United States. We believe Poland is a unique international exploration opportunity. Relatively little gas has been discovered in Poland's sector of the North European Permian Basin, compared to the discoveries in the UK, Dutch, and German sectors. For most of the 20th century, Poland was closed to exploration by foreign gas and oil companies. Consequently, we think the Polish Permian Basin is underexplored and underexploited, and therefore has high potential for discovering significant amounts of gas and oil. Acting on this thesis, we have acquired a large land position and we are conducting a focused exploration program. Independent engineers estimated our total proved gas and oil reserves at 45.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, or Bcfe, at year-end 2008. The PV-10 Value of these reserves at year-end 2008 was approximately $118 million, which is equal to approximately $2.79 per share of stock outstanding at year-end. The pre-tax present value of our P-50 reserves was $221 million at year-end 2008, or approximately $5.24 per share, based on 79.9 Bcfe. Our proved gas and oil reserve volumes in Poland have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 34% since 2003 and by 46% in just the last year. ...
