DENVER, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergy Resources Corporation
(OTCBB:SYRG.ob - News), a domestic oil and gas exploration and production
company focused in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (the "D-J Basin"), reported
results for the quarter ended February 28, 2011 (the "Quarter").
Increased Production:
Revenue for the Quarter was $2,053,534 or $0.0956 per share, up over 500% from
$335,725 in 2Q-2010. The improvement reflects the increase in the Company's
number of producing wells. As of April 11, 2011, the Company had 60 gross wells,
including 48 producing wells, and 10 wells in progress. All wells are located in
the Wattenberg Field of the D-J Basin. Net oil and gas production for the
Quarter was approximately 34,733 BOE or 386 BOEPD. As of February 28th 2011,
Synergy Resources had estimated proved reserves of 641,572 Bbls of oil and
4,313,939 Mcf of gas.
Increased Acreage:
Throughout the quarter, Synergy has significantly expanded its footprint in the
D-J Basin and as of April 11th 2011, Synergy had an approximately 116,000 gross
acres (100,000 net acres) under lease. This is approximately a 100,000 gross
acre increase from the same time last year. Synergy also is contemplating a
transaction with Petroleum Exploration & Management LLC to potentially acquire
interests in 87 producing oil and gas wells, one shut-in well and leases
covering 6,968 gross acres in the D-J Basin.
Improved Cash Position:
As of February 28, 2011, Synergy had cash of over $21,000,000 on its balance
sheet, up from approximately $4,700,000 as of November 30, 2010. The increased
cash position is a result of an increase in cash flow from operations and
$16,690,721 of net proceeds from a private placement of common stock in January
2011.
Financial Results
For the Quarter, Synergy had an operating income of $686,413 compared to an
operating loss of $130,438 for the same period a year prior. Synergy posted a
net loss for the Quarter of $11,738,360 compared to a net loss of $543,661 a
year prior. The net loss for the quarter included a $9,926,158 non-cash change
in the fair value of the derivative conversion liability and $2,514,045 in
interest expense. Frank Jennings, CFO of Synergy Resources Corporation, noted
"Our financial results for the quarter reflect approximately $12.4 million in
non-cash charges and interest expense associated with our convertible notes. As
of March 31, 2011, all of the note holders had elected to convert their notes
into shares of common stock, which will eliminate the non-cash charges and
interest expense after March 31, 2011. We look forward to reporting results in
the future that will no longer be encumbered by these charges."
Ed Holloway, CEO of Synergy Resources Corporation, stated "We had a record
quarter and I am quite pleased with our results. Our revenue topped $2 million
for the quarter, and we continue the upward trend as we bring more wells into
production. Having over $20,000,000 of cash and no debt on our balance sheet
will help us further implement our business plan. We will continue to look to
expand our acreage, reserves, and production in the D-J Basin in order to
maximize our shareholder's value. "
