Funds from operations is used to analyze the Company's operating performance and leverage. Funds from operations does not have a standardized measure prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable with calculations of similar measures for other companies. (2) Working capital deficiency includes only accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, less accounts payable and accrued liabilities. (3) Average prices are before the deduction of transportation costs; oil equivalent includes sulphur sales. (4) Operating netback equals petroleum and natural gas sales less royalties, operating expenses and transportation costs, calculated on a boe basis. Operating netback does not have a standardized measure prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Outlook: Redcliffe's 2008 focus has been to increase production through the tie-in of significant behind-pipe production, to increase production and reserves from additional drilling activities in our core areas, and to significantly expand our land position and high-impact drilling opportunities for 2009 and beyond. The Company is currently producing approximately 1,100 boe/d. Production has increased from Q3 2008 from the Wapiti 7-3 light oil well as a result of receiving GPP status, although production of this well is constrained based on its gas rate and related plant capacity. The Company expects to complete the tie-in of two recently completed Gold Creek gas wells, with production from such wells expected to commence in December 2008 for a net potential addition of approximately 300 boe/d to the Company. Approximately 250 boe/d of the Company's Gold Creek production remains shut-in as a result of continued facility constraints and high hydrocarbon liquid handling issues in the area. The Company has been able to steadily increase production from such affected Gold Creek wells since earlier this year; however, the remaining shut-in production is not expected to come on-stream until the remaining operational and technical issues are resolved. This has also postponed the drilling of a number of lower risk wells in the Gold Creek area until 2009. The Company and the other working interest partners continue to work diligently to address these issues and are exploring a number of near and longer-term alternatives. Redcliffe has continued to enjoy excellent drilling success in 2008 and we currently plan to drill up to four wells to the end of Q1 2009. Nevertheless, as a result of the current global economic downturn and credit crisis, the Company will monitor its capital budget in relation to available funding and changes in commodity prices, and will adjust capital expenditures accordingly. Our 2008 objective of significantly expanding our land position and high-impact drilling opportunities for 2009 and beyond continues to meet with excellent success. In particular, the raising of a US$6 million land fund during the quarter has enabled us to assemble an enviable undeveloped land position in the dynamic Gold Creek/Wapiti areas of the Peace River Arch, while maintaining technical and operational control over these lands in regards to all drilling and operational issues. As a result, the Company now controls approximately 121 (78 net) sections or approximately 77,500 (50,100 net) acres of undeveloped land, which includes the Company's share of unearned lands held through the land fund (11,400 net acres). For the remainder of 2008, we will continue to build our land base and drilling inventory. The past several months have been a trying time for our industry and we anticipate a continued difficult environment for junior oil and gas companies for the foreseeable future caused by lower oil prices and world-wide recessionary and liquidity issues. Nevertheless, we will continue to focus on creating value in these difficult times, and with our strong management and technical teams, our excellent land base, and our inventory of high-impact drilling opportunities, we remain confident and optimistic about our future. Recent royalty program modifications by the Alberta government have significantly improved the economics of our drilling programs for 2009 and beyond, which will also assist in our competition for capital resources to finance our investment programs.
