  • The Company had average daily production of 809 thousand cubic feet equivalent ("mcfe") per day for the year.  The European gas markets continued to be strong, with DualEx realizing an average price of $10.89 per mcfe for 2010 in Hungary. The Company's current production is approximately 900 mcfe per day.
  • During the year the Company drilled two wells in Hungary - one of which was a gas discovery. That well, along with a gas discovery drilled in late 2009, commenced production in the Spring of 2010. The Company's mining plot application for Peneszlek, Hungary was approved and issued in March 2011, and contains approximately 43 square kilometres.
  • The Company's Bouhajla Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") in Tunisia was fully ratified and formalized on April 30, 2010. The PSC provides for an initial term of three years with two additional renewal periods of three years each available.  DualEx has a 100% contractor interest in the Bouhajla Permit, which encompasses 416 square kilometres (105,000 acres), and is located onshore in the Pelagian Basin of east central Tunisia. The Block lies immediately west of the Sidi el Kilani field, which has produced to date approximately 48 million barrels of light oil.
  • The Company exited the year with no debt and $1.4 million in working capital.

DualEx Energy International Inc. is an oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the greater Mediterranean area. DualEx's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "DXE".

The Company uses the term "cash flow from operations" which is not a recognized measure under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  Management uses "cash flow from operations" to analyze performance and considers it a key measure as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate cash necessary to fund future capital investments.  Cash flow from operations is defined by the Company as "cash flow from operating activities excluding the change in non-cash working capital related to operating activities and settlement of asset retirement obligation".

Where amounts are expressed on a thousand cubic feet equivalent (mcfe) basis, one barrel of oil has been converted at a ratio one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet.  Mcfe's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.  A mcfe conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
