("Admiral Bay" or the "Company") announces that its board of directors is
exploring strategic alternatives to increase shareholder value. The Company has
engaged FIG Partners LLC Energy Research & Capital Group ("FIG") as its
financial advisor to assist in the strategic alternatives process. FIG will

minimum 5% cash interest and have the option to PIK the balance for a total

of Directors has approved a definitive transaction or strategic option. There
can be no assurance that any transaction will occur or, if a transaction is
undertaken, there can be no assurance as to its terms or timing.


President and CEO Steven Tedesco commented "While we continue to have the
support of our lenders as evidenced by the recent amendment, we are looking to
evaluate potential alternatives in the current gas price environment to
restructure the balance sheet to allow for continued growth of the Company while
improving our cost structure and liquidity".
