Three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Total revenues decreased in the third quarter of 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of the 50 percent reduction of revenue from its existing wells due to Chesapeake reaching the $25 million capital expenditure milestone on behalf of Epsilon, effective as of March 1, 2011 (per Farmout agreement Chesapeake was entitled to 50% of Epsilon's existing production upon reaching this milestone). Epsilon's net production also decreased due to discontinued production after August 1st in New York (Epsilon exchanged approximately 175 MCFD of existing production in NY for 50% of the remaining acreage with our NY partners), and temporary well shut-ins in Pennsylvania. One well was shut-in during mid-July, due to immediate proximity to the pad of wells being completed, and remains shut in until other wells in the unit are completed. Two additional wells were shut in during a portion of September, due to frac'ing and weather conditions.

There will be a substantial production increase in the last quarter of 2011, as new wells have started to come online at the beginning on October. Average natural gas prices were consistent between the two periods. Epsilon's gas production on November 8^th 2011 reached approximately13 MMCFD.

Epsilon also expects to show revenue from oil production in Saskatchewan in Q4 2011 with a further increase during 2012.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation had an increase in net income of $1.2 million, when compared to 2010. The increase was mainly due to credit adjustments to deferred tax expense. Excluding the deferred tax credits, the Corporation had a decrease in net income, when compared to the same period in 2010, due to lower Oil and gas revenues, higher DD&A, operating costs and G&A costs. Also, the impairments on undeveloped properties recognized were higher than in same period for 2010.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Total revenues decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of decreased production stemming from well maintenance during the period February 22, 2011 to March 17, 2011, and as a further result of the 50 percent reduction of revenue from its existing wells due to Chesapeake reaching the $25 million capital expenditure milestone on behalf of Epsilon, effective as of March 1, 2011. Epsilon's net production also decreased due to discontinued production after August 1st in New York, and temporary well shut-ins in Pennsylvania. One well was shut-in during mid-July and remains shut in until other wells in the unit are completed. Two additional wells were shut in during a portion of September, due to frac'ing and weather conditions. There will be a substantial production increase in the last quarter of 2011, as new wells come online. Even though Epsilon's net production decreased, there has actually been an overall increase in gross production from three additional wells coming online in Pennsylvania than in the first nine months of 2010. As for average natural gas prices in 2010, the corporation sold its gas partially under hedge contracts until the end of June 2010, at a price 10.0 percent higher than in 2011.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased substantially over 2010 due primarily to the gain of the Farmout agreement assets and deferred tax credit adjustments. Excluding the gain, there was a decrease in net income when compared to the same period in 2010. Oil and gas revenues were lower, DD&A and operating costs were higher, and recognized impairments on undeveloped properties contributed to the decrease.
