BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction We are an independent oil and gas company focused on exploration, development and production opportunities in the Republic of Poland in association with the Polish Oil and Gas Company, or POGC, and others, as discussed below. We believe the cooperative working environment with POGC in Poland allows us to operate effectively with in-country operating and technical personnel, access geological and geophysical data readily, and interact in general with governmental and industry contacts in Poland. We are focused on Poland because we believe it provides attractive oil and gas exploration and production opportunities. In our view, these opportunities exist because the country was closed to competition from foreign oil and gas companies for many decades. As a result, we believe its known productive areas are underexplored, underdeveloped and underexploited today. Poland is a net importer of oil and gas, and we believe its fiscal regime is favorable to foreign investment, which reinforce the attractiveness of Poland. We believe the gas-bearing Rotliegendes sandstone reservoir rock in Poland's Permian Basin is a direct analog to the Southern North Sea gas basin offshore England, and represents a largely untapped source of potentially significant gas reserves. We believe that we are uniquely positioned, because of our land position, our relationship with POGC, our significant working interests, and our current financial condition, to exploit this untapped potential and create substantial growth in oil and gas reserves and cash flows for our stockholders. References to us in this report include FX Energy, Inc., our subsidiaries and the entities or enterprises organized under Polish law in which we have an interest and through which we conduct our activities in that country. See "Oil and Gas Terms" at the end of this item for definitions of certain industry terms. Strategy We seek the rewards of high potential exploration while endeavoring to minimize our exposure to the risks normally associated with exploration. Historically, we have compensated for our small size and limited capital with farmout arrangements in which we have conveyed interests in our exploration projects in exchange for contributions of financial and technical resources by larger industry participants. As a result of significant improvements in our financial position during the past two years and the formation of our Technical Advisory Panel discussed below, we now anticipate that we will rely principally on our own financial and technical resources, including expert consultants, in identifying and drilling prospects for our own account or under our sharing arrangements with POGC. We concentrate on acreage in productive fairways or geologic trends where we believe we have the opportunity to find significant gas and oil reserves with lower risk. Our strategy is to: o acquire large acreage positions in areas of known productive fairways, particularly where there has been little or no exploration for many years; o carry out the work necessary to advance these properties toward exploration drilling, including collecting, evaluating and reprocessing data, acquiring new data, identifying prospects that we believe merit drilling, and preparing a detailed exploration work program; and o either drill these prospects for our own account, or where circumstances may warrant in the future, market interests in these properties to industry participants on terms that will provide all or a portion of the funds necessary for exploration. 3 Our primary strategic relationship is with POGC, a fully integrated oil and gas company owned by the Treasury of the Republic of Poland, which is Poland's principal domestic oil and gas exploration entity. Under our existing agreements, POGC provides us with access to exploration opportunities, previously-collected exploration data, and technical and operational support. Technical and Advisory Panel We have created a Technical and Advisory Panel consisting of individuals with decades of combined experience to advise and consult with management in connection with the four current principal project areas discussed below. The panel's responsibilities include assisting us in defining and exploiting the potential of our projects in Poland and in attracting funding and/or industry participation for that effort as we deem necessary. The Technical and Advisory Panel includes the following three individuals: Richard Hardman, CBE, has built a career in international exploration over the past 40 years in the upstream oil and gas industry as a geologist in Libya, Kuwait, Colombia, and Norway. In the United Kingdom, his career encompasses almost the whole of the exploration history of the North Sea-1969 to the present. With Amerada Hess from 1983 to 2002 as Exploration Director and later Vice President Exploration, he was responsible for key Amerada North Sea and international discoveries, including Valhall, Scott and South Arne fields. Mr. Hardman was made Commander of the British Empire in the New Year Honours, 1998, and has served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Society of Great Britain, President of the Geological Society, and President of the European Region of AAPG Europe. Mr. Hardman was appointed to our board of directors in October 2003, and was designated the Chairman of our Technical and Advisory Panel. Steven McTiernan has over 30 years of diverse energy industry and banking experience as a petroleum engineer with Amoco, Mesa, and British Petroleum, and as a banker with Chase Manhattan, CIBC and NatWest. He was the Global Head of Oil & Gas for Chase in New York and for CIBC and NatWest in London. Mr. McTiernan advised FX Energy in connection with the 2003 farmout of the Fences I project area to CalEnergy Gas (Holdings) Ltd. Mr. McTiernan is currently assisting us in our gas contract negotiations with POGC and our long-term gas marketing strategic planning. Robert J.J. Hardy, Ph.D., served 11 years with Amerada Hess from 1990 to 2001 where he was in charge of the geophysical operations group in London with responsibility for Northwest Europe (including the North Sea) and International. He has considerable experience in all aspects of the design, acquisition and processing of 2-D, 3-D and 4-D geophysical projects and has applied advanced analytical methodologies on over 500 geophysical projects. Dr. Hardy holds a Ph.D. in Geophysics from Cambridge University and a B.Sc. Geology and Geophysics 1st Class from the University of Durham. Dr. Hardy is guiding our seismic data acquisition, processing and reprocessing projects in the Fences and Wilga project areas. Project Area Summary Our ongoing activities in Poland are conducted in four project areas: Fences I, II and III, and Wilga. We are currently working almost exclusively on the three Fences project areas, where we believe the gas-bearing Rotliegendes sandstone reservoir rock in Poland's Permian Basin is a direct analog to the Southern North Sea gas basin offshore England. We are focused in the Fences area because there have been substantial gas reserves developed and produced by POGC in this Rotliegendes trend, and we have concluded that there are likely to be substantial additional gas and oil reserves in the same horizons that can be identified through the application of geophysical techniques that have not previously been applied in this area in Poland. Our recent Rusocin well, which discovered a gas accumulation in a stratigraphic trap, is a model of this strategy. 4 Fences The Fences I project area is 265,000 acres (1,074 sq. km.) in western Poland's Permian Basin. Several gas fields located in the Fences I block are excluded or "fenced off" from our exploration acreage. These fields, discovered by POGC between 1974 and 1982, produce from Rotliegendes sandstone reservoirs. We entered into an agreement in April 2000 with POGC to explore this area and by December 31, 2004, had spent $16.0 million on exploration costs in the Fences I project area to earn a 49% interest. The Fences II project area is 670,000 acres (2,715 sq. km.) located north of and contiguous with the Fences I block. POGC's Radlin field forms part of the Fences II's southern border. Under a January 2003 agreement, we have the right to earn a 49% interest from POGC, subject to satisfactory completion of our obligations in Fences I and our expenditure of $4.0 million in exploration costs. We satisfied the earning requirements in early 2005 by continuing our ongoing two-dimensional, or 2-D, seismic data reprocessing, along with drilling the initial well at the Sroda prospect. The Fences III project area is 770,000 acres (3,122 sq. km.) located approximately 25 miles south of Fences I, where we own 100% of the exploration rights. As with the Fences I block, several gas fields located in the Fences III block are fenced off from the exploration acreage. These fields, discovered by POGC between 1967 and 1976, produce from both Rotliegendes sandstone and Zechstein carbonate (Ca1 and Ca2) reservoirs. The Fences I, II and III project areas (a total of 1.7 million gross acres or 6,911 sq. km.) are all within an area of underexplored Rotliegendes sandstone. To our knowledge, no exploration program focused on Rotliegendes gas reserves has been undertaken in Poland using the technology available today, and no sustained exploration effort has been made in the three Fences project areas for Rotliegendes gas fields in the last 20 years. During the balance of 2005, our objectives with respect to the Fences areas are to: o continue developing a complete subsurface seismic and geological picture of the Rotliegendes and Zechstein carbonate (Ca1 and Ca2) horizons across our entire acreage, in the process building an inventory of drill-ready prospects; o drill approximately five wells, subject to the exploration priorities and financial and technical resources of our partner, POGC, and the ability of our technical group to acquire and assimilate new technical data; o build the necessary infrastructure to begin producing our Zaniemysl discovery and begin planning for production from other potential discoveries; and o endeavor to expand our holdings in and around the Fences and perhaps other areas. More detailed information concerning the Fences area and our exploration history there can be found under the section Exploration, Development and Production Activities below. Wilga The Wilga project area in central southeast Poland consists of exploration rights on approximately 250,000 gross acres held by us and POGC in Block 255, where the Wilga 2 discovery well is located. We have for some years held a 45% working interest in the Wilga project area; however, our former partner, Apache Corporation, recently surrendered its interest so that, effective January 31, 2005, we have an 82% working interest and are the operator; POGC holds the remaining 18% working interest. We and our partners successfully completed an extended flow test on the Wilga 2, confirming that the well is capable of producing at a commercial rate. We plan to place this well into commercial production as soon as we have negotiated an acceptable gas contract with a suitable buyer, which will enable us to begin construction of production facilities. We plan to discuss with POGC further exploration for the block during the next few months. 5 Exploration, Development and Production Activities Polish Exploration Rights As of December 31, 2004, we had earned oil and gas exploration rights in Poland in the following gross acreage components: Operator ------------------------------- Gross FX Energy POGC Acreage --------------- --------------- --------------- Project Area: Fences I.................................. X 265,000 Fences II................................. X 670,000 Fences III................................ X 770,000 Wilga..................................... X 250,000 --------------- Total gross acreage..................... 1,955,000 =============== As we explore and evaluate our acreage in Poland, we expect to increasingly focus our operational and financial efforts on known productive trends and recent discoveries. As we do so, we may elect not to retain our interest in acreage that we determine carries a higher exploration risk. Exploratory Activities in Poland Fences I Project Area In April 2000, we agreed to spend $16.0 million on exploration costs in the Fences I project area to earn a 49% interest. As of December 31, 2004, we had completed the $16.0 million earn-in requirement. As a result, POGC is obligated to pay its 51% share of any further costs. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation: Introduction--Fences I Commitment and Settlement for further information on how the commitment was satisfied. The Rotliegendes is the primary target horizon throughout most of the Fences I project area, at depths from approximately 2,800 to 3,200 meters, except along the extreme southwest portion where the target reservoir is carbonates of the lower Permian. During 2000, we drilled the Kleka 11, our first Rotliegendes target, which began producing in early 2001. In 2003, we agreed to assign our interest in the Kleka 11 well, including accrued gas sales proceeds and proceeds from ongoing production during 2003 and 2004 to POGC as a credit against our earning requirement in Fences I. By December 31, 2004, we had met our earning requirement without crediting assignment of the Kleka well, so we have agreed with POGC not to assign our interest in the Kleka 11 well, subject to the completion of formal documentation. During 2001, we drilled the Mieszkow 1, an exploratory dry hole. The Mieszkow well demonstrated the need to apply modern seismic data processing and to assure careful handling of velocities in seismic data interpretation. In 2002 and 2003, we acquired, processed and interpreted a substantial amount of seismic data. In January 2003, we entered into a farmout agreement with CalEnergy Gas, the upstream gas business unit of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, whereby CalEnergy Gas had the right, but not the obligation, to earn a 24.5% interest in the entire Fences I project area by spending a total of $10.4 million, including the cost to drill two wells and certain cash payments to us. The operating committee approved the Zaniemysl prospect as the first well to be drilled under the CalEnergy Gas farmout agreement and drilling commenced in October 2003. In February 2004, we announced that the Zaniemysl-3 exploratory well in the Fences I project area was commercial and encountered approximately 38 net meters (125 feet) of porous gas-bearing Rotliegendes sandstone. During a drill stem test of the top 18 meters (59 feet) of the structure, the well flowed at a stabilized rate of approximately 12.5 MMcf of gas per day. Together with our partners, POGC and CalEnergy Gas, we have begun development work to build facilities and connect to the pipeline grid through a pipeline to be built by POGC to produce gas from the Zaniemysl structure at a permitted rate of 10 MMcf of gas per day. Gas production is scheduled to commence by the end of 2005. 6 Following completion of the Zaniemysl-3 well in early 2004, CalEnergy Gas requested more than a six-month extension in which to undertake an additional technical evaluation before committing to an additional exploration well. We and POGC elected instead to proceed without delay to select a specific drill site in the Rusocin prospect in Fences I and to proceed with drilling as soon as possible. Accordingly, CalEnergy Gas did not complete its earning requirement and no longer has the right to participate in the Fences I project area, except for the approximately 45,000 acres surrounding the Zaniemysl field referred to as the Greater Zaniemysl Area, or GZA. The GZA was established to allow the two companies to put the Zaniemysl discovery into production while exploring together for other nearby natural gas opportunities that would have the potential to add economic value to the overall Zaniemysl project. The GZA quantifies the acreage earned by CalEnergy Gas at 45,220 acres, covering approximately 17% of Fences I, and will require CalEnergy Gas to pay $250,000 of our share of geological and geophysical work on the GZA project. Both companies anticipate additional seismic data acquisition and reprocessing in the expanded project. We and CalEnergy Gas each hold a 24.5% interest in the GZA, and POGC holds a 51% interest. Outside of the CalEnergy Gas GZA, during the second half of 2004, we drilled with POGC the Rusocin-1 well, the first well intentionally focused on a stratigraphic trap in the Rotliegendes. In a January 2005 initial drill stem test, the well flowed gas from an 18 meter (59 feet) section of the Rotliegendes sandstone target reservoir. The top of the Rotliegendes was encountered at approximately 2,747 meters. Results of the initial drill stem test indicate that the reservoir may extend beyond the mapped faults, suggesting a larger reservoir along the Wolsztyn High. We believe the well may have discovered the lower edge of a pinch-out at the top of the Rotliegendes sandstone with 20-25% porosity. We are testing the Rusocin well to determine whether it is commercial. If warranted, we will propose to POGC, the operator, one or more appraisal wells on the Rusocin prospect. At the same time, we are completing geological and geophysical work on the Lugi prospect, another stratigraphic test of the pinch-out play. During the remainder of 2005, we plan to acquire new 2-D seismic data on selected structural prospects as well as along the apparent stratigraphic trap trend; we are also considering acquiring new three-dimensional, or 3-D seismic data along the stratigraphic trap trend. We intend to propose additional wells, both exploratory and appraisal, as our technical staff approves specific projects. Fences II Project Area In early 2002, Conoco, Inc., Ruhrgas and POGC drilled a dry hole in the northeast of the Fences II area. The well, although dry, did confirm the presence of reservoir quality Rotliegendes sandstone at a depth of more than 3,700 meters, which we believe makes virtually the entire block prospective for Rotliegendes, subject to accurate geophysical resolution of the trapping features. A significant amount of geological and geophysical work that was completed by POGC and Conoco before Conoco's withdrawal from the project at the end of 2002 was made available to us by POGC. During 2003 and 2004, we reprocessed and interpreted approximately 2,600 kilometers of 2-D seismic data to complement the 1,200 kilometers reprocessed in 2002 in order to develop a more complete subsurface model of the Rotliegendes and Zechstein horizons. In the second half of 2004, we received operating committee approval to drill the Sroda prospect, a structural feature modeled on POGC's Radlin field. Although slowed by mechanical problems, drilling operations should conclude in approximately the first quarter of 2005. We have identified several other prospects near Sroda. We are also working to identify prospects in adjacent areas on the southeastern end of Fences II and may seek to expand our exploration rights accordingly. 7 Fences III Project Area We have assembled the existing seismic data, which includes seismic data on approximately the northern third of the Fences III project area. We expect to finish reprocessing and interpreting this data in the first quarter of 2005 and, if results warrant, plan to acquire new 2-D seismic data in the second and third quarters of 2005 to identify leads and prospects that merit drilling. We also plan to tender in the second quarter of 2005 for a multi-well drilling contract that will then make it possible for us to drill without delay if and as prospects are approved by our technical group. Wilga Project Area In January 2005, we announced plans to begin working with POGC to bring the Wilga well into production. The well is expected to produce at a rate of 5-6 MMcf of gas and 230 Bbls of condensate per day when it begins production. The Wilga well was drilled in 2000 and as of December 31, 2004, has gross proved reserves of 6.3 Bcf and 247,000 barrels of condensate. Effective January 31, 2005, we are the operator of the Wilga project area and own an 82% interest. POGC owns an 18% interest. Prior to January 2005, Apache Corp. was the operator and a 45% interest owner in the Wilga area. In connection with its exit from Poland, Apache relinquished its interest in the Wilga area, which then reverted to us and POGC ratably by virtue of our existing agreements with POGC and Apache. Exploratory Activities in the United States Nevada During 2004, we drilled the East Inselberg well to a total depth of 1,322 feet in a 680-acre lease block near our existing Trap Spring / Munson Ranch producing area. The well encountered shows of oil, and we are testing to determine whether it is commercial. Makoil is the operator and owns a 50% working interest, and we own the remaining 50%. We plan to drill several additional exploratory wells this year in Railroad Valley near our existing producing properties. The Republic of Poland The Republic of Poland is located in central Europe, has a population of approximately 39 million people, and covers an area comparable in size to New Mexico. During 1989, Poland peacefully asserted its independence and became a parliamentary democracy. Since 1989, Poland has enacted comprehensive economic reform programs and stabilization measures that have enabled it to form a free-market economy and turn its economic ties from the east to the west, with most of its current international trade with the countries of the European Union and the United States. The economy has undergone extensive restructuring in the post-communist era. The Polish government credits foreign investment as a forceful growth factor in successfully creating a stable free-market economy. Since its transition to a market economy and a parliamentary democracy, Poland has experienced significant economic growth and political change. Poland has developed and is refining legal, tax and regulatory systems characteristic of parliamentary democracies with interpretation and procedural safeguards. The Polish government has taken steps to harmonize Polish legislation with that of the European Union, which it joined in May of 2004. Poland has created an attractive legal framework and fiscal regime for oil and gas exploration by actively encouraging investment by foreign companies to offset its lack of capital to further explore its oil and gas resources. In July 1995, Poland's Council of Ministers approved a program to restructure and privatize the Polish petroleum sector. So far under this plan, a refinery located in Plock has been privatized as a publicly-held company with its stock trading on the London and Warsaw stock exchanges. We expect that the gas distribution segments of POGC will be privatized next, followed by the exploration, production and oilfield services segment. Increased participation by Western companies using Western capital in the oil and gas sector is consistent with the approved privatization policy. 8 Prior to becoming a parliamentary democracy during 1989, the exploration and development of Poland's oil and gas resources were hindered by a combination of foreign influence, a centrally-controlled economy, limited financial resources, and a lack of modern exploration technology. As a result, Poland is currently a net energy importer. Oil is imported primarily from countries of the former Soviet Union and the Middle East, and gas is imported primarily from Russia. Polish Properties Legal Framework General Usufruct and Concession Terms All of our rights in Poland have been awarded pursuant to the Geological and Mining Law, which specifies the process for obtaining domestic exploration and exploitation rights. Under the Geological and Mining Law, the concession authority enters into mining usufruct (lease) agreements that grant the holder the exclusive right to explore for oil and gas in a designated area or to exploit the designated oil and/or gas field for a specified period under prescribed terms and conditions. The holder of the mining usufruct covering exploration must also acquire an exploration concession by applying to the concession authority and providing the opportunity for comment by local governmental authorities. The concession authority has granted us oil and gas exploration rights on the Fences III and Wilga project areas, and has granted POGC oil and gas exploration rights on the Fences I and II project areas. The agreements divide these areas into blocks, generally containing approximately 250,000 acres each. Concessions have been acquired for exploration in all areas that lie within existing usufructs. The exploration period begins after the date of the last concession signed under each respective usufruct. We believe all material concession terms have been satisfied to date. If commercially viable oil or gas is discovered, the concession owner then applies for an exploitation concession, as provided by the usufructs, generally with a term of 25 to 30 years or as long as commercial production continues. Upon the grant of the exploitation concession, the concession owner may become obligated to pay a fee, to be negotiated, but expected to be less than 1% of the market value of the estimated recoverable reserves in place. The concession owner would also be required to pay a royalty on any production, the amount of which will be set by the Council of Ministers, within a range established by legislation for the mineral being extracted. The royalty rate for high-methane gas is currently less than $0.05 per Mcf. This rate could be increased or decreased by the Council of Ministers to a rate between $0.02 and $0.10 per Mcf (the current statutory minimum and maximum royalty rates). Local governments will receive 60% of any royalties paid on production. The holder of the exploitation concession must also acquire rights to use the land from the surface owner and could be subject to significant delays in obtaining the consents of local authorities or satisfying other governmental requirements prior to obtaining an exploitation concession. Fences I Project Area The Fences I project area consists of a single oil and gas exploration concession controlled by POGC. Three producing fields (Radlin, Kleka and Kaleje) lie within the concession boundary, but are excluded from the Fences I concession. The concession is for a period of six years ending in September 2007 and carried certain work requirements during the first three years, all of which have been completed. Fences II Project Area The Fences II project area consists of four oil and gas exploration concessions controlled by POGC. The concessions have expiration dates ranging from July 2006 to August 2007, with three-year extension rights. Remaining work commitments in the aggregate include acquiring 70 kilometers of 3-D seismic data, 250 kilometers of new 2-D seismic data, reprocessing 100 kilometers of seismic data and drilling four wells. 9 Fences III Project Area The Fences III project area consists of a single oil and gas exploration concession held by us. Several producing fields lie within the concession boundaries, but are excluded from the Fences III project area. The concession is for a period of six years ending in December 2009 and carries a work requirement during the first two years, which includes the reprocessing of 100 kilometers of existing 2-D seismic data, acquiring 100 kilometers of new 2-D seismic data, and analysis and interpretation of existing well data. Beginning in the third year, there is a drilling requirement of one well. Wilga/Block 255 Project Area The Wilga project area consists of a single oil and gas exploration concession controlled by us. All work commitments have been completed. As of December 31, 2004, all required usufruct/concession payments had been made for each of the above project areas. Production, Transportation and Marketing Poland has a network of gas pipelines and crude oil pipelines traversing the country serving major metropolitan, commercial, industrial and gas production areas, including significant portions of our acreage. Poland has a well-developed infrastructure of hard-surfaced roads and railways over which we believe oil produced could be transported for sale. There are refineries in Gdansk and Plock in Poland and one in Germany near the western Polish border that we believe could process crude oil produced in Poland. Should we choose to export any oil or gas we produce, we will be required to obtain prior governmental approval. During early 2001, we and POGC constructed a pipeline from the Kleka 11 well approximately four kilometers to POGC's Radlin field gas processing facility and began selling gas produced to POGC at a price of $2.02 per MMBTU under a five-year contract that may be terminated by us with a 90-day written notice. As part of our restructured agreement with POGC, we agreed in 2003 to assign our interest in the Kleka 11 well, including amounts representing unpaid gas sales, to POGC to reduce our outstanding obligation to POGC. Accordingly, we received no net gas production from the Kleka 11 well in 2004 and 2003. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation: Introduction--Fences I Commitment and Settlement for further information concerning the Kleka 11 well. We did not record any oil or gas production in Poland during 2004 and 2003. The following table sets forth our average net daily gas production, average sales price and average production costs associated with our Polish gas production during the past three years: 2004 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- Polish producing property data: Average daily net gas production (Mcf)...................... -- -- 494 Average sales price per MMBTU(1)............................ -- -- $ 2.02 Average production costs per Mcf(2)......................... -- -- $ 0.16 - -------------------- (1) Gross sales prices before downward adjustment of $0.44 per Mcf for caloric content. (2) Production costs include lifting costs (electricity, fuel, water, disposal, repairs, maintenance, pumper, transportation and similar items). Production costs do not include such items as G&A costs, depreciation, depletion or Polish income taxes. 10 United States Properties Producing Properties In the United States, we currently produce oil in Montana and Nevada. All of our producing properties, except for the Rattlers Butte field (an exploratory discovery during 1997), were purchased during 1994. A summary of our average daily production, average working interest and net revenue interest for our United States producing properties during 2004 follows: Average Daily Production (Bbls) Average Average ---------------------------- Working Net Revenue Gross Net Interest Interest ------------- -------------- -------------- -------------------- United States producing properties: Montana: Cut Bank............................ 243 210 99.6% 86.4% Bears Den........................... 9 7 98.0 81.0 Rattlers Butte...................... 19 1 6.3 5.1 ------------- -------------- Total............................. 271 218 ------------- -------------- Nevada: Trap Spring......................... 8 1 21.6 18.9 Munson Ranch........................ 35 12 36.0 34.1 Bacon Flat.......................... 27 3 16.9 12.5 ------------- -------------- Total............................. 70 16 ------------- -------------- Total United States producing properties................... 341 234 ============= ============== In Montana, we operate the Cut Bank and Bears Den fields and have an interest in the Rattlers Butte field, which is operated by an industry partner. Production in the Cut Bank field commenced with the discovery of oil in the 1940s at an average depth of approximately 2,900 feet. The Southwest Cut Bank Sand Unit, which is the core of our interest in the field, was originally formed by Phillips Petroleum Company in 1963. An initial pilot waterflood program was started in 1964 by Phillips and eventually encompassed the entire unit with producing wells on 40- and 80-acre spacing. In the Cut Bank field, we own an average working interest of 99.6% in 99 producing oil wells, 25 active injection wells and one active water supply well. The Bears Den field was discovered in 1929 and has been under waterflood since 1990. In the Bears Den field, we own a 98% working interest in three active water injection wells and five producing oil wells, which produce oil at a depth of approximately 2,430 feet. The Rattlers Butte field was discovered during 1997. In the Rattlers Butte field, we own a 6.3% working interest in two oil wells producing at a depth of approximately 5,800 feet and one active water injection well. In Nevada, we operate the Trap Spring and Munson Ranch fields and have an interest in the Bacon Flat field, which is operated by an industry partner. The Trap Spring field was discovered in 1976. In the Trap Spring field, we produce oil from a depth of approximately 3,700 feet from one well, with a working interest of 21.6%. The Munson Ranch field was discovered in 1988. In the Munson Ranch field, we produce oil at an average depth of 3,800 feet from five wells, with an average working interest of 36%. The Bacon Flat field was discovered in 1981. In the Bacon Flat field, we produce oil from one well at a depth of approximately 5,000 feet, with a 16.9% working interest. 11 Production, Transportation and Marketing The following table sets forth our average net daily oil production, average sales price and average production costs associated with our United States oil production during 2004, 2003 and 2002: Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2002 ----------- ----------- ----------- United States producing property data: Average daily net oil production (Bbls).......................... 234 234 249 Average sales price per Bbl...................................... $36.34 $26.29 $21.19 Average production costs per Bbl(1).............................. $18.85 $17.22 $14.59 - ----------------- (1) Production costs include lifting costs (electricity, fuel, water, disposal, repairs, maintenance, pumper, transportation and similar items) and production taxes. Production costs do not include such items as G&A costs, depreciation, depletion, state income taxes or federal income taxes. We sell oil at posted field prices to one of several purchasers in each of our production areas. In July 2003, we began selling the majority of our Montana production, which represents over 85% of our total oil sales, to CENEX, a regional refiner and marketer. From June 2002 through June 2003, we sold our Montana production to Plains Marketing Canada L.P. For the first half of 2002 the bulk of our total oil sales were also to CENEX. Posted prices are generally competitive among crude oil purchasers. Our crude oil sales contracts may be terminated by either party upon 30 days' notice. Oilfield Services - Drilling Rig and Well-Servicing Equipment In Montana, we perform, through our drilling subsidiary, FX Drilling Company, Inc., a variety of third-party contract oilfield services, including drilling, workovers, location work, cementing and acidizing. We currently have a drilling rig capable of drilling to a vertical depth of 6,000 feet, a workover rig, two service rigs, cementing equipment, acidizing equipment and other associated oilfield servicing equipment. Proved Reserves Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reserves under existing economic and operating conditions. Our proved oil and gas reserve quantities and values are based on estimates prepared by independent reserve engineers in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Operating costs, production taxes and development costs were deducted in determining the quantity and value information. Such costs were estimated based on current costs and were not adjusted to anticipate increases due to inflation or other factors. No price escalations were assumed and no amounts were deducted for general overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest expense and income taxes. The proved reserve quantity and value information is based on the weighted average price on December 31, 2004, of $36.69 per Bbl for oil in the United States and $35.39 per Bbl of oil and $1.91 per Mcf of gas in Poland. The determination of oil and gas reserves is based on estimates and is highly complex and interpretive, as there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of proved reserves, projecting future rates of production and timing and amount of development expenditures. The estimated present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of the future net cash flows, or PV-10 Value, was determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 69, "Disclosure About Oil and Gas Activities," and SEC guidelines. Our proved reserve estimates are subject to continuing revisions as additional information becomes available or assumptions change. Estimates of our proved United States oil reserves were prepared by Larry Krause Consulting, an independent engineering firm in Billings, Montana. Estimates of our proved Polish gas reserves were prepared by Troy-Ikoda Limited, an independent engineering firm in the United Kingdom. No estimates of our proved reserves have been filed with or included in any report to any other federal agency during 2004. 12 The following summary of proved reserve information as of December 31, 2004, represents estimates net to us only and should not be construed as exact: United States Poland --------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Total Oil PV-10 Value Oil Gas PV-10 Value PV-10 Value ----------- -------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- ----------------- (MBbls) (In (MBbls) (MMcf) (In (In thousands) thousands) thousands) Proved reserves: Developed producing........ 809 $ 5,134 -- 1,011 $ 814 $ 5,948 Undeveloped................ -- -- 111 9,187 12,277 12,277 ----------- -------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- ----------------- Total.................... 809 $ 5,134 111 10,198 $ 13,091 $ 18,225 =========== ============== ============ ============ ============== ================= Gas reserves in Poland include 1.0 Bcf of gas attributable to the Kleka 11 well, which we agreed in 2003 to convey to POGC; in early 2004, we and POGC agreed that we would not convey the Kleka 11 well, subject to completing final documentation.

Government Regulation Poland Our activities in Poland are subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including the adoption of new laws, regulations or administrative policies that may adversely affect us or the terms of our exploration or production rights; political instability and changes in government or public or administrative policies; export and transportation tariffs and local and national taxes; foreign exchange and currency restrictions and fluctuations; repatriation limitations; inflation; environmental regulations and other matters. These operations in Poland are subject to the Geological and Mining Law dated as of September 4, 1994, and the Protection and Management of the Environment Act dated as of January 31, 1980, which are the current primary statutes governing environmental protection. Agreements with the government of Poland respecting our areas create certain standards to be met regarding environmental protection. Participants in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities generally are required to (1) adhere to good international petroleum industry practices, including practices relating to the protection of the environment; and (2) prepare and submit geological work plans, with specific attention to environmental matters, to the appropriate agency of state geological administration for its approval prior to engaging in field operations such as seismic data acquisition, exploratory drilling and field-wide development. Poland's regulatory framework respecting environmental protection is not as fully developed and detailed as that which exists in the United States. We intend to conduct our operations in Poland in accordance with good international petroleum industry practices and, as they develop, Polish requirements. As Poland continues to progress towards its stated goal of becoming a member of the European Union, it is expected to pass further legislation aimed at harmonizing Polish environmental law with that of the European Union. The European Union Treaty of Accession will require divestment by the Polish government of certain portions of the oil and gas business. Changes in the industry ownership may affect the business climate where we operate. United States State and Local Regulation of Drilling and Production Our exploration and production operations are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method 14 of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, and the plugging and abandoning of wells. Our operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and the density of wells that may be drilled and the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In this regard, some states allow the forced pooling or integration of tracts to facilitate exploration while other states rely on voluntary pooling of lands and leases. In addition, state conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, generally prohibit the venting or flaring of gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability of production. Our oil production is affected to some degree by state regulations. States in which we operate have statutory provisions regulating the production and sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such statutes and related regulations are generally intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir. Certain state regulatory authorities also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production to each well or proration unit. Environmental Regulations The federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the control of contamination of the environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit by operators before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. These laws and regulations may also increase the costs of drilling and operation of wells. We may also be held liable for the costs of removal and damages arising out of a pollution incident to the extent set forth in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA `90. In addition, we may be subject to other civil claims arising out of any such incident. As with any owner of property, we are also subject to clean-up costs and liability for hazardous materials, asbestos or any other toxic or hazardous substance that may exist on or under any of our properties. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with such laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. Furthermore, we do not believe that we are affected in a significantly different manner by these laws and regulations than our competitors in the oil and gas industry. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources, and for the costs of certain health studies. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and regulations promulgated thereunder govern the generation, storage, transfer and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA, however, excludes from the definition of hazardous wastes "drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, gas or geothermal energy." Because of this exclusion, many of our operations are exempt from RCRA regulation. Nevertheless, we must comply with RCRA regulations for any of our operations that do not fall within the RCRA exclusion. The OPA `90 and related regulations impose a variety of regulations on responsible parties related to the prevention of oil spills and liability for damages resulting from such spills. OPA `90 establishes strict liability for owners of facilities that are the site of a release of oil into "waters of the United States." While OPA `90 liability more typically applies to facilities near substantial bodies of water, at least one district court has held that OPA `90 liability can attach if the contamination could enter waters that may flow into navigable waters. 15 Stricter standards in environmental legislation may be imposed on the oil and gas industry in the future, such as proposals made in Congress and at the state level from time to time, that would reclassify certain oil and gas exploration and production wastes as "hazardous wastes" and make the reclassified wastes subject to more stringent and costly handling, disposal and clean-up requirements. The impact of any such changes, however, would not likely be any more burdensome to us than to any other similarly situated company involved in oil and gas exploration and production. Federal and Indian Leases A substantial part of our producing properties in Montana consist of oil and gas leases issued by the Bureau of Land Management or by the Blackfeet Tribe under the supervision of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Our activities on these properties must comply with rules and orders that regulate aspects of the oil and gas industry, including drilling and operating on leased land and the calculation and payment of royalties to the federal government or the governing Indian nation. Our operations on Indian lands must also comply with applicable requirements of the governing body of the tribe involved including, in some instances, the employment of tribal members. We believe we are currently in full compliance with all material provisions of such regulations. Safety and Health Regulations We must also conduct our operations in accordance with various laws and regulations concerning occupational safety and health. Currently, we do not foresee expending material amounts to comply with these occupational safety and health laws and regulations. However, since such laws and regulations are frequently changed, we are unable to predict the future effect of these laws and regulations. Title to Properties We rely on sovereign ownership of exploration rights and mineral interests by the Polish government in connection with our activities in Poland and have not conducted and do not plan to conduct any independent title examination. We regularly consult with our Polish legal counsel when doing business in Poland. Nearly all of our United States working interests are held under leases from third parties. We typically obtain a title opinion concerning such properties prior to the commencement of drilling operations. We have obtained such title opinions or other third-party review on nearly all of our producing properties, and we believe that we have satisfactory title to all such properties sufficient to meet standards generally accepted in the oil and gas industry. Our United States properties are subject to typical burdens, including customary royalty interests and liens for current taxes, but we have concluded that such burdens do not materially interfere with the use of such properties. Further, we believe the economic effects of such burdens have been appropriately reflected in our acquisition cost of such properties and reserve estimates. Title investigation before the acquisition of undeveloped properties is less thorough than that conducted prior to drilling, as is standard practice in the industry. Employees and Consultants As of December 31, 2004, we had 33 employees, consisting of seven in Salt Lake City, Utah; 20 in Oilmont, Montana; one in Greenwich, Connecticut; three in Houston, Texas, one in the United Kingdom, and one in Poland. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization. We consider our relationship with our employees to be satisfactory. We also regularly engage technical consultants to provide specific geological, geophysical and other professional services. Our executive officers and other management employees regularly travel to Poland to supervise activities conducted by others under contract on our behalf. Offices and Facilities Our corporate offices, located at 3006 Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah, contain approximately 3,010 square feet and are rented at $2,960 per month under a month-to-month agreement. In Montana, we own a 16,160 square foot building located at the corner of Central and Main in Oilmont. In Poland, we rent a small office suite for $1,400 per month in Warsaw, at Al. Jerozolimskie 65/79, as an office of record in Poland. 16 Oil and Gas Terms The following terms have the indicated meaning when used in this report: "Bbl" means oilfield barrel. "Bcf" means billion cubic feet of natural gas. "Development well" means a well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive. "Exploratory well" means a well drilled to find and produce oil or gas in an unproved area, to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir or to extend a known reservoir. "Field" means an area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic conditions. "Gross" acres and "gross" wells means the total number of acres or wells, as the case may be, in which an interest is owned, either directly or though a subsidiary or other Polish enterprise in which we have an interest.
