Revenue from oil and natural gas sales (including liquids and transport revenue) in 2008 amounted to $1,487,971 compared with $588,152 in the previous year. The revenue raise is a direct result of the start of production in the third quarter from the company’s heavy oil wells in Lloydminster.

Net cash flow from operating activities (cash received from operators minus cash paid to suppliers and for royalties) was up $340,863 for 2008 to $472,803 as compared to $131,940 in the previous year. This was because of the aforementioned increase in revenue for the year.

Cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, deposits and deferred costs for the year totaled $3,090,315 on par with the $3,128,304 at the end of December, 2007.

Cash, including short-term investments at the end of 2008 was $2,716,110, as compared to $2,248,579 at the end of the pervious year. This increase was because of the rise in short term investments, which more than offset the drop in cash, plus a substantial increase in deposits.

Total assets as at December 31, 2008 were $14,113,291, up considerably – 83% – from the previous year’s total of $7,713,059. The main reasons for the increases are the large jump in short-term investments to $2,554,938 from $204,191 and, the almost $6.3 million increase in property and equipment.

On the whole expenses, including operating costs, increased by about $913,000 on a comparative basis to $2,538,902 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1,625,752 for the year prior. The primary reason for the increase in total expenses was the rise in operating costs to $707,268 from $258,913, and increases in G & A expenses to $860,743 from $576,742, and in depletion and amortization expense to $529,196 from $259,886.

The decrease in the 2008 loss can be attributed to the aforementioned rise in the company’s revenue.
