AUSTIN, Texas, Mar 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FPP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (AMEX:FPP) today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Ray Reaves, President and CEO of FieldPoint, stated, "While net income and earnings per share were below our goals for this past year, 2008 was still a very significant year for FieldPoint. We have significantly improved our balance sheet and prepared the company for the back drop of lower commodity prices in 2009 and beyond. We continue to diligently explore acquisition opportunities and development programs, however, our objective to materially enhance shareholder value by increasing production and reserves will be facing the head wind of low oil and natural gas prices in 2009. In this past year, our revenues grew 50% as a result of increased production and high commodity prices. Unless it changes, this low oil and natural gas price environment will negatively impact 2009 revenues and earnings for this industry."

2008 Financial Highlights Compared to 2007

-- Revenues increased to $6,593,299 from $4,409,524;

-- Net Income increased to $590,391 from $558,078; and

-- Earnings per share increased, basic and fully diluted to $0.07 from $0.06

The increase in revenue is attributed to increased production and higher oil and natural gas prices, which averaged approximately $97.14 per barrel and $7.91 per MCF in 2008, compared to $71.26 per barrel and $6.19 per MCF in the prior year. Overall production for the year increased on a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, as compared to the 2007 year-end. The increased production, combined with a 36% increase in oil prices, led to an increase in revenues.

Production expenses increased $677,604, due primarily to an increase in the number of FieldPoint's oil and natural gas properties, combined with mature field production remedial repairs. The Company incurred a non-cash accounting charge in the form of an impairment expense of $1,221,775. This resulted in a reduction in our operating income for the year of over fifty percent.

General and administrative expenses remained substantially constant. Depletion and depreciation expense increased 33%, due primarily to increases in net sales volumes and increased capitalized costs, which were slightly offset by increased reserves on existing properties.

Proved reserves decreased slightly or 1% to approximately 1,334,429 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), compared to approximately 1,342,459 BOE for 2007. This decrease is the result of increased production and lower pricing in December 2008. Please refer to the more detailed discussion of the qualifications and assumptions used in the estimating proved reserves and future net revenues contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Mr. Reaves concluded by adding, "From December 2006 to December 2008, the Company completed $6.6 million in oil and natural gas acquisitions. This was accomplished while using only $3.5 million in long term debt from the Company's $50 million credit facility with Citibank at year end 2008. Currently, long term debt outstanding is $1.67 million."
