Note:
Beetaloo geology as targeted and discovered along with present known information across the organic horizon(s) for estimated and recoverable Gas in Place dictates variations in per acre value. However, the industry tends to adjust that value at the front of an estimated per acre valuation recognizing that each acre in real time will not deliver equal organic returns. So, each component (see below) can vary up and down. We should assume the posted numbers by Falcon per acre (2015 Component Estimates) are driven by ** US and international industry comparisons and stand to be valid estimates per acre for that time (Various Years pre-2015) as market values defined them. It should also be noted that current per acre values will vary based on “present” time gas market demand and current market values. So, current per acre market value for Falcon’s net acreage may in fact be higher now given the demand, need and current value at the well head driven by local and regional market demands when compared to these 9 year old components for gas acreage value. The plan was to Monetise in 2017 or 18 “based on success” per the 2015 company presentation. We now know the plan is to progress into pilot production i.e. Production From Horizontals to enhance value then monetise. HMMM!! Will it now be more valuable per acre?? Fair Question. Keep in mind that all of the basis for valuation at “Appraisal” comparison entities were each still in need of infrastructure. Perhaps not at the level of likely NT infrastructure demands but the common theme is they were not producing and had to pipe, road, permit and sale, as well!!

Falcon Estimated 2015 Acreage Valuation Component by progress:
Undeveloped $844 / acre:
$844 X 1,040,000 Net Acres Falcon = $877,760,000.00 US
$877,760,000.00 / 1,044,347,425 Falcon Common Shares Issued = $0.84 US Per Share
Appraisal $4,009 / acre:
$4009.00 X 1,040,000 Net Acres Falcon = $4,169,360,000.00 US
$4,169,360,000.00 / 1,044,347,425 Falcon Common Shares Issued = $4.00 US Per Share
Production $18,489 / acre:
$18,489.00 X 1,040,000 Net Acres Falcon = $1,922,856,000.00 US
$1,922,856,000.00 / 1,044,347,425 Falcon Common Shares Issued = $18.42 US Per Share
Something to think about. Good Luck to us long time birds. I think the future is bright for us all!!
