Total production (boe/d) (6:1) | 854 | 265 | 222 | 836 | 400 | 109 |
Production for the third quarter of 2010 averaged 854 boe per day, a 222 percent increase over the same quarter in 2009. This increase was primarily the result of drilling results from the first nine months of 2010 as the 14-1 and 2-12 wells, which received Waterflood Project status and Good Production Practice (GPP) from the ERCB in January 2010, were shut-in due to gas production constraints. The third quarter of 2010 average daily production of 854 boepd is approximately 600 boepd less than Exall's productive capability, a result of gas conservation constraints imposed upon Exall by the purchaser of the Company's commodities in Mitsue.
On a year over year basis production has increased 109 percent to 836 boe per day in the first 9 months of 2010 due to both the June 30, 2009 approval for Waterflood Project status and Good Production Practice (GPP) received from the ERCB and the successful drilling results from the first nine months of 2010. During August and September of 2010 Exall shut-in the 14-1 and 2-12 wells, replacing production from these wells with production from the 10-25 (formerly 12-25) and its 02-36 wells drilled during 2010.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 oil and natural gas liquids accounted for 86 percent of production which is expected to continue to increase as the oil production from additional successful drills in the Marten Mountain area of Alberta are placed on production.

Oil and gas revenue in the third quarter of 2010 increased 313 percent to $5,188,470 from $1,257,646 in the same period in 2009 as a result of the 222 percent increase in production, the 28 percent increase in commodity prices received and the shift in production weighting to 86 percent oil and natural gas liquids from 65 percent in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 oil and gas revenue increased 200 percent to $15,674,073 with oil and liquids sales contributing 95 percent of the revenue. The 200 percent increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from the same period in 2009 was a result of the 109 percent increase in production, the 44 percent increase in commodity prices received and the shift in production weighting to 86 percent oil and natural gas liquids from 75 percent in 2009.
Royalties | ||||||

Royalties ($/boe) | 15.71 | 17.36 | (10) | 24.05 | 15.56 | 55 |
The decreased royalty rates in the third quarter of 2010 were the direct result of the gas constraint at Marten Mountain. As a result of the gas production constraint, Exall's two wells (the 14-01 and the 02-12) which are subject to a 50% royalty rate until January 01, 2011 were shut-in for a significant portion of the third quarter of 2010. The increased royalty rates the first nine months of 2010, as compared with those in 2009, were the result of the higher rates incurred by the high volume horizontal wells in the Marten Mountain area. This increase in royalty per boe reflects the introduction of the new royalty rates in the province of Alberta that came into effect in January 2010 and the higher production rates from the Marten Mountain properties.

Operating expenses ($/boe) | 5.86 | 14.63 | (60) | 6.68 | 9.26 | (28) |
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2010 increased 29 percent from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of the 222 percent increase in production. On a per boe basis, operating costs declined 60 percent, to $5.86 per boe due to the fact that the increased production is the result of the higher volume wells in Marten Mountain / Mitsue which are economical to produce. Operating expenses in the first nine months of 2010 increased 51 percent from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of the 109 percent increase in production. On a per boe basis, operating costs declined 28 percent, to $6.68 per boe. Exall's expectation is that operating costs will continue to decline as infrastructure is completed and additional production is tied in at Marten Mountain.
Operating Netback
Exall realized the following netbacks from oil and gas operations:

Operating netbacks ($/boe) | 44.45 | 19.67 | 126 | 37.97 | 23.02 | 65 |
Operating netbacks in the third quarter of 2010 increased 126 percent to $44.45 per boe compared to the third quarter 2009 operating netbacks of $19.67 per boe. This is primarily the result of three factors. First, overall commodity prices improved 28 percent on a third quarter over third quarter basis. Second, decreased royalty rates as a result of the gas production constraint requiring Exall's to shut-in two wells (the 14-01 and the 02-12) which are subject to a 50% royalty rate. Third, operating expenses per boe improved 60 percent due to the fact that the increase in production in the third quarter of 2010 was from higher volume wells in Marten Mountain / Mitsue, which are more economical to produce.
On a nine month period over nine month period basis, 2010 operating netbacks increased by 65 percent to $37.97 per boe. Again, this is primarily the result of two factors. First, overall commodity prices improved 44 percent on a period over period basis. Second, operating expenses per boe improved 28 percent due to the fact that the increase in production in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was from higher volume wells in Marten Mountain / Mitsue.

Depletion is calculated using the unit-of-production method based on total estimated proved reserves. DD&A for the third quarter of 2010 was $1,387,580 compared to $887,235 for the same period in 2009. DD&A in for the first nine months of 2010 was $4,196,595 or $18.40 per boe compared to $3,947,481 or $36.11 per boe for the same period in 2009. DD&A expense per boe in 2010 have declined from 2009 due to additional reserves being recognized by our independent reserves evaluator, as a result of successful drilling operations at Marten Mountain, Alberta. The Company's ceiling test calculation, performed as at September 30, 2010, resulted in no additional depletion being recorded.

General and administration costs represent the costs required to effectively operate a public company. The increase in costs from 2009 reflects the increased cost of staffing commitments made in conjunction with the increased production and capital expenditures in 2010 as Exall continues to achieve positive results with regard to its drilling program in the Marten Mountain, Mitsue area. General and administration expenses per boe in 2010 have declined from 2009 due to additional reserves being recognized by our independent reserves evaluator, as a result of continued successful drilling operations at Marten Mountain, Alberta. Management is continually monitoring general and administrative expenses to ensure that they are being managed effectively and efficiently.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Exall has a revolving demand credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank for $15.0 million that bears interest at the lender's base prime rate plus 1.50 percent which is reviewed periodically by the bank. At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $11.0 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility and an approximate working capital surplus, excluding bank indebtedness, of $0.5 million for total net debt of approximately $10.5 million.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company used an increase in bank debt, funds received through its March 2010 brokered private placement, and cash flow from operations to fund capital expenditures and other financial requirements. In 2010, the Company's capital expenditures will be limited by the cash flow available from operations, additional debt or equity as market conditions may allow and potential asset sales if the Company so chooses.
Going Concern Assessment
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital surplus, excluding bank indebtedness, of $0.5 million.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as at September 30, 2010 include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the bank indebtedness. The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to their short terms to maturity. The Company's bank debt bears interest at a floating market rate and accordingly the fair market value approximates the carrying value. The Company's merchant bank debt bears interest at a fixed rate and due to its short term to maturity accordingly approximates the carrying value. Additional information concerning the Company's financial instruments and related risks are in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures
Oil and gas exploration and development expenditures were $4,743,584 for the third quarter of 2010 and $12,641,406 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. During the third quarter of 2010 the Company re-drilled one well in which the wellbore was lost due to instability and participated in the drilling of 2.0 gross well (1.40 net) in the Marten Mountain / Mitsue area. During the first nine months of 2010 the Company has participated in drilling of 5.0 gross well (3.52 net) in the Marten Mountain / Mitsue area.
Oil and gas exploration and development expenditures were $985,898 for the third quarter of 2009 and $1,578,382 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. During 2009 the Company did not participate in drilling of any wells, as all capital expenditures were focused on completing and equipping the Marten Mountain / Mitsue wells for waterflood production.
The Company acquired 1,920 gross (1,267 net) acres of undeveloped land in the Mitsue area during the third quarter of 2010. The Company has acquired 4,480 gross (2,957 net) acres of undeveloped land in the Mitsue area, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.

Outlook
Exall has focused its capital through the summer in development of the Marten Mountain Prospect area located in the Mitsue area of North-Central Alberta. Two wells have been drilled to date offsetting the previously announced "B" Sand discovery drilled by Exall in Q1. One well has been completed and put on stream through the Company-owned pipeline and battery facilities. Completion operations are underway on the second well. Drilling operations are under way on a third offset after which the rig will be utilized to drill two additional wells in the B Sand trend through to year-end.
Permanent access to the north Marten Mountain "A" Sand extension test well was completed in Q2. A new horizontal lateral was drilled into the reservoir identified by the 10-12 well which had been lost due to wellbore instability. The new horizontal leg has been stimulated with a four-stage fracture treatment and is currently recovering load fluid. The Company also drilled the offsetting 13-7 well utilizing the same drilling rig. Completion operations are planned for the fourth quarter of 2010. Two additional wells are planned through Q1 2011 due to the winter drilling access restrictions.
The wells drilled this summer have established continued multi-zone sand development with a number of offset drilling opportunities. The ability to continue development of this key property through the summer has allowed Exall to accelerate development plans in the Marten Mountain area.
Exall will also be expanding battery facilities and tying into a gas line in order to facilitate increased production rates. The Company's wells are currently constrained by restrictions on gas flaring and by limits to water injection. Gas tie-in and processing agreements have been executed with the pipeline/plant operator, Canadian Natural Resources Limited ("CNRL"). The pipeline and compressor have been installed and final controls and instrumentation are being delivered with the expected startup of full gas conservation scheduled for mid-November.
An application to provide additional water injection for the Company's waterflood scheme has been approved by the ERCB and the operator of the offsetting scheme will begin injecting additional water on behalf of the Company shortly.
Changes introduced to the New Royalty Framework ("NRF") by the Government of Alberta, including Transitional Royalty rates and drilling incentives, with the objective of alleviating the excessive royalty burden of the NRF and to spur drilling have improved the economics of drilling activity on the Company's lands. The Government of Alberta has made some significant permanent changes in the Modified Royalty Framework ("MRF") which has several features which will directly affect the future of Exall. The most significant of the changes to Exall are:
- The reduction of maximum royalty rate paid on high-rate oil wells from 50 percent to 40 percent starting in January 2011. This change will have a direct impact on the cash flow of Exall. The two Marten Mountain wells currently producing on GPP have been subject to the 50 percent maximum royalty rate since they went on production. The change improves the netback per barrel, which is reflected in the increased NPV of the reserves per the Reserves Update.
- Continuation of the 5 percent cap on royalties for the first year or first 50-70,000 barrels of oil, depending on measured depth, as a permanent program. Although this program was already in place, the Government has now made assurances that this will be a permanent feature in the Modified Royalty Framework. After the first 50-70,000 barrels produced new oil wells will be subject to a maximum royalty of 40 percent.
- Continuation of the Drilling Credits of $200 per meter to the end of its proposed term at April 1, 2011. Exall has made arrangements with other companies to have their credits assigned and collected from royalties paid by Exall in a procedure encouraged by the Provincial Government. This effectively reduces the royalties paid by Exall and provides access to capital for further drilling and development.
Completion of the gas conservation pipeline and facilities will allow a sustainable increase in production rates and cash flow for the Company starting in November 2010. Wells drilled through the summer had been constrained due to gas flaring restrictions. The Company will see the full impact of the added production through the remainder of the year and will be able to bring new production on stream without that constraint. With the continued drilling success Exall has managed to finance activities through cash flow and increased debt. The new Modified Royalty Framework provides the necessary incentive to continue to aggressively exploit the high-productivity light, sweet oil assets the Company holds in the Mitsue area.
The recently completed Midyear Reserves Update has quantified the additional Total Proved and Proved plus Probable Reserves, and Net Present Value established by the Company through the capital program of the first half of 2010. The capital program for the remainder of the year is expected to provide additional production potential and add substantially to the Q4 results for Exall.
Exall is a light oil-weighted company with high operating margins. Starting from a modest production base of light oil and gas, the Company has shown itself capable of setting and achieving ambitious production and cash flow targets. This puts the Company in a favorable position to exploit existing opportunities and potentially take advantage of opportunities that arise. Exall will continue to focus on organic growth through exploitation and expansion of its existing oil producing properties.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those predicted. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in such statements, and there is no assurance that actual results will be consistent with them. Such factors include fluctuating commodity prices, capital spending and costs of production, and other factors described in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form under the heading "Risk Factors" which has been filed electronically by means of the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") located at www.sedar.com.

For the purposes of calculating unit costs, natural gas has been converted to a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) using 6,000 cubic feet equal to one barrel (6:1), unless otherwise stated. The boe conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method and does not represent a value equivalency; therefore boe may be misleading if used in isolation. This conversion conforms to the Canadian Securities Regulators' National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities.
