FieldPoint Petroleum Reports Results For Fiscal Year 2014

AUSTIN, Texas, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/MKT:FPP) today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. 

Phillip Roberson, President and CFO, said, "It was obviously a very challenging fourth quarter for FieldPoint, as well as the energy industry as a whole.  Our loss for the year was attributable to a $3,085,787 non-cash impairment charge, due to the precipitous drop in commodity prices. As we have previously stated, we made the decision early on to suspend all new drilling projects in order to conserve capital. We have also suspended noncritical workover projects, and have focused on reducing all discretionary spending. As a result, we are seeing a significant reduction in general and administrative expenses and lease operating costs. Our historically conservative approach to property acquisition, as well as other spending, combined with our relatively low debt has helped position us to better withstand this sort of economic compression."    

2014 Financial Highlights Compared to 2013

• Revenues decreased to $9,232,297 from $10,541,231;
• Net Income (Loss) decreased to a Loss of ($1,947,940) from Income of $1,278,997; and
• Earnings (Loss) per share decreased, basic to ($.24) from $0.16  and fully diluted to ($.24) from $0.15

Mr. Roberson concluded with, "Most industry downturns create unusual opportunities for those positioned to take advantage. We are openly pursuing such opportunities, but will continue to hold our conservative position with regard to exposing the company to economic risk. As all of you who invest in this industry are aware, it is cyclical and we are trying our best to be positioned to take advantage of the upturn as it occurs. Finally, I want to again thank all of our shareholders for your continued support."
