Forward-Looking Statements
This website contains certain forward-looking statements
(forecasts) under applicable securities laws relating to
future events or future performance. Forward-looking statements
are necessarily based upon assumptions and judgements with
respect to the future including, but not limited to, the
outlook for commodity markets and capital markets, the performance
of producing wells and reservoirs, well development and operating
performance, general economic and business conditions, weather,
the regulatory and legal environment and other risks associated
with oil and gas operations. In some cases, forward-looking
statements can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "projects", "plans", "anticipates" and
similar expressions. These statements represent management's
expectations or beliefs concerning, among other things, future
operating results and various components thereof affecting
the economic performance of East West Petroleum. Undue reliance should
not be placed on these forward-looking statements which are
based upon management's assumptions and are subject to known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the business
risks discussed above, which may cause actual performance
and financial results in future periods to differ materially
from any projections of future performance or results expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could
cause results to differ materially from those predicted.
In the interest of providing East West Petroleum shareholders and potential
investors with information regarding the Company and its
subsidiaries, including management's assessment of East West Petroleum's
future plans and operation, certain statements throughout
this website constitute forward looking statements. All
forward-looking statements are based on the Company's beliefs
and assumptions based on information available at the time
the assumption was made. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking
statements. By its nature, such forward-looking information
involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause actual results or events to differ
materially from those anticipated in such forward looking
statements. East West Petroleum believes the expectations reflected in
those forward looking statements are reasonable but no assurance
can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct
and such forward looking statements contained throughout
this website should not be unduly relied upon. These statements
speak only as of the date specified in the statements.
In particular, this website contains forward looking statements
pertaining to the following:
* the performance characteristics of the Company's oil and
natural gas properties;
* oil and natural gas production levels;
* capital expenditure programs;
* the quantity of the Company's oil and natural gas reserves
and anticipated future cash flows from such reserves;
* projections of commodity prices and costs;
* supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
* expectations regarding the ability to raise capital and
to continually add to reserves through acquisitions and development;
and
* treatment under governmental regulatory regimes.
The material assumptions in making these forward-looking
statements include certain assumptions disclosed in the Company's
most recent management's discussion and analysis included
in the material available on this website.
The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward looking statements contained
throughout this website as a result of the material risk
factors set forth below, and elsewhere in this website:
* volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas;
* liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations;
* uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural
gas reserves;
* competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions
of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel;
* incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and
exploration and development programs;
* geological, technical, drilling and processing problems;
* fluctuations in foreign exchange or interest rates and
stock market volatility;
* failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions;
* general business and market conditions; and
* changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive
programs relating to the oil and gas industry.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Unless
required by law, East West Petroleum does not undertake any obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
In the material available on this website, the documents
incorporated by reference herein, the Company uses the terms
funds flow from operations, funds flow from operations per
unit, funds flow from operations per unit-diluted, net debt,
market capitalization and total capitalization. These terms
do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and therefore they may not be comparable with the calculation
of similar measures presented by other issuers.
Funds flow from operations is calculated based on cash flow
from operating activities before changes in non-cash working
capital and asset retirement obligation expenditures. Funds
flow from operations per unit-diluted is calculated based
on cash flow from operating activities before changes in
non-cash working capital and asset retirement obligation
expenditures excluding the cash portion of unit-based compensation.
Management utilizes funds flow from operations as a key measure
to assess the ability of the Company to finance distributions
and dividends, operating activities, capital expenditures
and debt repayments. Funds flow from operations as presented
is not intended to represent cash flow from operating activities,
net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated
in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
Net debt is calculated as current liabilities plus bank
indebtedness less current assets and long term investments
but excludes risk management assets and liabilities. Management
utilizes net debt as a key measure to assess the liquidity
of the Company. Market capitalization is calculated by
applying the period end closing trading price of the Company's
securities to the number of such securities outstanding.
Market capitalization is an indication of the enterprise
value. Total capitalization is calculated as market capitalization
and current liabilities plus bank indebtedness, less current
assets and long term investments, excluding the risk management
asset and liabilities. Total capitalization is used by management
to measure the proportion of net debt in the Company's capital
structure.
Barrels of oil equivalent (boe) may be misleading, particularly
if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand
cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil
is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable
at the burner tip and is not intended to represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this
press release are derived by converting natural gas to oil
in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to
one barrel of oil. Certain financial amounts are presented
on a per boe basis, such measurements may not be consistent
with those used by other companies.
