Fx Energy Inc. has a market cap of $509.46 million; its shares were traded at around $11.25 with a P/E ratio of 102.27 and P/S ratio of 34.74. Fx Energy Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 5.3% over the past 10 years.

Highlight of Business Operations:

Subsequent to year-end 2010, we had a significant exploration discovery, the Lisewo-1 well in Poland. Independent engineers estimate the proved and P50 reserves for this well to be approximately 12.7 and 17.7 Bcf of gas, respectively, net to our interest. The incremental PV-10 Value of these proved and P50 reserves is estimated to be $16.0 and $19.7 million, respectively. This discovery, in combination with our 2010 year-end proved reserves, would equate to 56.5 Bcfe of proved reserves, with an estimated PV-10 Value of $143.3 million. Our year-end P50 reserves would then equate to 104.8 Bcfe, with an estimated PV-10 Value of $226.1 million.

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 45 million shares of common stock outstanding, and our market capitalization was approximately $280 million (approximately $510 million as of the date of this filing). Our shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “FXEN.” So far during 2011, our average daily trading volume has been approximately 500,000 shares. Our total assets as of December 31, 2010, were $66.6 million, and our net debt (long-term debt less working capital) was $16.8 million. Net debt per thousand cubic feet equivalent, or Mcfe, of proved reserves was $0.38 at year end, or $0.30 including the 12.7 Bcf of gas reserves associated with the subsequent Lisewo-1 discovery.

Unlike our position in Poland, our U.S. operation has not been the focus of our exploration efforts. Our U.S. operations provide a modest amount of cash flow and are not capital intensive. They consist mostly of shallow, oil-producing wells in the Cut Bank oil field of Montana. As of December 31, 2010, our U.S. reserves (all of which were proved reserves) were estimated at 639,000 barrels of crude oil with a PV-10 Value of approximately $9.7 million. At year-end 2010, U.S. reserves were approximately 9% of total proved reserves on a gas equivalent basis. Our oil wells produce approximately 168 barrels of oil per day, net to our interest. From our field office in Montana, we also provide oilfield services, which provided approximately $2.1 million in revenue during 2010.
