Implicit in this information are assumptions regarding: the timing of drilling operations, the performance of the operator's obligations under the joint exploration agreement governing the prospect area associated with the 158 #2 well, and its elections in connection therewith, projected revenue and expenses and well performance. Specifically, the Company has assumed that these agreements, prospects, wells and/or activities will produce positive drilling results. These assumptions, although considered reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.

In addition, the geotechnical analysis and engineering to be conducted in respect of the 158 #2 well is not complete.
