Great East Energy Inc. Reports FY2013 Financial Results

NEW YORK, NY and KIEV, UKRAINE--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2014) -  Great East Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: GASE) (the "Company") which controls over 160 square miles of producing clean energy holdings through two local operating companies, today announced its full year 2013 financial results for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Full Year 2013 Financial Highlights

Increases in natural gas pricing lifted 2013 revenues by $21.6 thousand to $274.4 thousand for the year compared to revenues of $252.8 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. Pricing increases were a strong trend in 2013 though GASE's natural gas sales volumes decreased by 2.5 MMcf to 28.5 MMcf for the year. The average price the Company obtained on the sale of its natural gas was $9.63 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") in 2013 compared to $8.15 per Mcf in 2012. In 2013, GASE's natural gas sales averaged 79.17 Mcf per day. The volume decrease was due to the natural depletion of two of the Company's productive wells. GASE's 162-square mile property has seven major dome structures, which while under prior ownership has already produced nearly one billion cubic feet of gas. Twelve core wells and five vent-wells have been drilled on the producing domes. GASE's assets are surrounded by Royal Dutch Shell's Yuzivske gas field comprising over 3,000 square miles. The preliminary resources estimate of the Yuzivske gas field is up to 300 trillion cubic feet. GASE is actively drilling new wells identified on its property and researching additional "greenfield" drilling sites.

GASE's "other sales" mainly included revenues using the Company-owned transportable machinery and equipment, such as a cementing unit, compressor unit, and pump set to render services to third parties. Other revenues increased by $3.60 thousand to $53.7 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. Other income of $20.5 thousand in 2013 included interest income of approximately $ 19.8 thousand earned on bank deposits.

The Company's operating and maintenance expenses of $249.8 thousand is attributed to wages and salaries of the gas production personnel, cost of materials, taxes and duties. Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $34.3 thousand in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to increases in material expenses.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $22.28 thousand to $196.68 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013, from $174.39 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a per unit basis, G&A expenses increased from $5.62 per Mcf sold in 2012 to $6.90 per Mcf sold in 2013. 

Operating loss was approximately $3.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the operating loss of approximately $153.95 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in operating loss is primarily attributed to professional fees expenses, and to a lesser extent, to increases in other operating expenses. Excluding the impacts of professional fees, operating result decreased $52.58 thousand to $206.53 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013, from $153.95 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

GASE's net loss was approximately $3.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to net income of $26.16 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of an increase in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012.

Business Outlook:

Great East Energy is working to further develop its estimated gross total reserves of 47 billion cubic feet (BCF) of natural gas in the GASE license area. GASE's wholly-owned subsidiary controls two companies which have been producing gas since 2003. GASE additionally owns two gas processing facilities, and over eight miles of gas pipelines to their customers.
