ISSUE 15
Ray Reaves,
President and CEO of FieldPoint Petroleum, is sharpening his pencil
and putting on his poker face. Like a crazed bargain hunter heading for
the mall just after the Christmas Holiday, Ray is getting ready to go shopping.
Just as he has during past cyclical
oil price declines, Ray knows he can purchase assets from the behemoths
of the US Oil patch at bargain basement prices for the next six months.
Companies like Devon Energy (AMEX: DVN) will eliminate producing
properties which were profitable at $25 per barrel, but not at $18. Ray
runs a lean and mean company which makes money through all the market cycles,
and he perceives an upcoming opportunity to enhance his asset base.
The editors of the SmallCapDigest
feel this stocks is poised for a short term move to at least $2.50,
which would represent 31% return on invested capital. Investors
with a 12 to 18 month horizon have the potential for a $5 plus with
the next cycle of surging oil prices. As oil prices drop, Ray Reaves is
getting ready to add assets to FieldPoint.
The SmallCap Digest has discovered
a growth company in the oil and gas sector that is poised to surge. FieldPoint
Petroleum (OTC BB: FPPC) has taken much of the guessing out of investing
in this sector. The company has executed and excelled in every market environment.
FieldPoint
has shown a propensity to maintain profitability and grow revenues at very
impressive levels by making the right decisions. The company business is
hedged in such a way that it has and will continue to make money regardless
of commodity prices.

FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation
(OTC BB: FPPC) is engaged in the acquisition, operation and development
of oil and gas properties, which are located in Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
FieldPoint
looks to continue expanding in Texas and Wyoming, as well as in other Rocky
Mountain and mid-continent states such as Montana, North Dakota and Oklahoma.
It is a primary objective of the Company to operate most of the oil and
gas properties in which it has an economic interest.
Company Analysis
FieldPoint is regarded in
the industry as a nimble low cost provider. Unlike many of its' competitors,
FieldPoint
consistently generates positive cash flow, and has a history of acquiring
properties far below market prices. Many poorly run oil and gas companies
get themselves in a position where they must raise cash to survive. These
distress sales allow FieldPoint to purchase these companies' properties
at prices where the production from the land pays for the purchase itself.
FieldPoint
takes advantage of the competition through efficiency. The company's stellar
performance in the past has created confidence and tremendous leeway with
financiers. FieldPoint has access to capital that will allow for
growth while most of its' competitors will experience contraction.
The company's track record speaks for itself. Below is the revenue
growth FieldPoint has experienced in the past three years.
As depicted in the table, revenues
grew 78% from '99 to '00, and are on track to grow 59%
this year.
Growth has been so prolific that
the company was recently recognized by the Oil and Gas Journal as
one of the Top 200 Independent Oil and Gas Producers in the U.S., and the
8th
fastest growing publicly traded Oil and Gas Company in the US.
The company currently has 50% of
its monthly oil production hedged at $22 per barrel, thereby virtually
assuring continued positive cash flow.
Existing Properties
Chickasha Field, Grady County, Oklahoma.
Giddings Field, Fayette County, Texas.
Big Muddy Field, Converse County, Wyoming.
Serbin Lee Field and Bastrop Counties,
Texas.
West Allen Field, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma.
Hutt Wilcox Field, McMullen and Atascosa
County, Texas.
FieldPoint currently currently
has ownership interest in 338 productive wells located in three states,
Texas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. FieldPoint intends to continue expansion
in Texas and Wyoming, as well as in other Rocky Mountain and mid-continent
states such as Montana, North Dakota and Oklahoma. Management is constantly
keeping an eagle's eye on potential properties that will increase FieldPoint's
asset base.
Plans For Growth
As depicted in the bar charts, growth
in both production and reserves has grown consistently since 1997. In 1996,
FieldPoint
had $1 million in booked assets from which they derived $640,000 in revenue
and $115,000 in net income. The average price of oil in 1996 was approximately
$18-$20 per barrel. In 1997, prior to going public,
FieldPoint's
results were slightly improved as the price of oil per barrel increased
to an average of $19-$21, but their asset base held steady.
At the end of 2000, FieldPoint
completed
another acquisition that boosted assets to $4.5 million, and through the
third quarter assets stood at $4.8 million. In the meantime, revenues have
jumped from $1.6 last year and are projected at $2.5 million this year.
As a low cost producer, FieldPoint successfully increases production
and lowers operational expenses every time they make an acquisition.
Over the course of the next 36-48
months the company hopes to accumulate over $50 million in assets.
Past performance would indicate this is not an unrealistic goal. That is
a tenfold increase from where the company's assets are today. For investors,
the market capitalization of the company should reflect the increase in
assets. A $50 million dollar asset base would value the company at approximately
$42 million dollars or $5.75 per share. That is an annualized gain
of over 57% over a four year period.
Market Conditions
A dispute between OPEC which produces
about 40% of the world's oil and non-OPEC oil producing countries have
pushed prices to their lowest levels since mid-1999. Oil markets opened
lower Thursday after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
decided Wednesday not to cut its output quotas unless non-OPEC producers
agree to go along. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov is quoted
by the Financial Times as saying
"We are not going to at any time reduce production on a big scale; it's
impossible".
With oil prices taking a nosedive,
many poorly run and poorly funded oil and gas companies will be feeling
the squeeze. Lower oil prices will deal a blow to the oil and gas industry,
resulting in less investment, reduced production and ultimately more volatility
as supply and demand fluctuate. This means FieldPoint will be privy
to some very attractive opportunities to purchase land at very favorable
prices.
However, oil prices may not stay
depressed next year. OPEC says it will cut output on Jan. 1 only if non-OPEC
producers act. So far, Oman and Mexico have pledged output cuts -- of 50,000
barrels a day and 100,000 barrels a day, respectively -- and Norway, the
world's third largest exporter, is still considering whether to contribute.
But all three countries say they will only reduce production if Russia
pledges to cut its output by some 300,000 barrels a day.
Conclusion
FieldPoint is currently trading
at
$1.90 but in the near term has the potential to reach $2.50
due to the sizable opportunities the company currently has to expand it's
asset base at rock bottom prices. We expect the stock to reach this target
in the next 30 days. A target of $2.50 would mean a 31% short
term profit. This doesn't match the company's growth rate but it
is certainly respectable, and much higher on an annualized basis.
Growing companies need to reinvest
in themselves. The challenge is to make money while growing. FieldPoint
applies the cardinal rule of business: MAKE MONEY. CEO Ray Reaves
has demonstrated an uncanny ability to propel growth while running a profitable
business. The goal of the company is to increase its' asset base while
maintaining profitability and providing shareholders a return on their
money.
Over the course of the next 36-48
months the company expects to have over $50 million in assets. That
is a tenfold increase from where the company's assets are today. If the
company's past performance is any indication, it is an obtainable goal.
For for investors, the market capitalization of the company should reflect
the increase in assets. A $50 million dollar asset base would value the
company at approximately $42 million dollars or $5.75 per share.
That is an annualized gain of over 57% over a four
year period.
FieldPoint is structured to
take full advantage of volatility because the company thrives on outsmarting
its' competitors. The company is a growth stock that has the full confidence
of its' financiers. This access to capital allows the company to
increase its' assets while benefiting when the market rebounds.
Investors looking for a well run
oil and gas company that exhibits outstanding growth should own
FieldPoint
Petroleum Corporation (OTC BB: FPPC) in the risk end of their portfolio.
