·     Capital expenditure of US$52 million.
·     Improved Macquarie Debt facility agreed in April 2011.
·     New US$15 million loan facility with Arawak Energy agreed in May 2012.

(June 2012 Operations Update)
·     Arbuzovskoye No.1 well producing at 350 bopd without fracture stimulation.
·     Current total production steady at 2,200 bopd exclusive of wells temporarily shut-in for pressure transient testing.
 
The Arbuzovskoye No. 1 discovery well is now in production and has been producing with an electric submersible pump at a rate of about 350 bopd since mid-May 2012. So far it has shown essentially no decline and a water cut of less than 2%. This is comparable to the best wells drilled at Pad 1 at the Lineynoye oil field, prior to fracture stimulation,  and is in line with the excellent test results achieved on this well when it was first drilled in November 2010.
 
It is expected that a drilling crew will arrive on site at Arbuzovskoye in the coming weeks to commence drilling new production wells, the first of which we expect to bring into production in Q3 of this year.
