                                                 -------------- -------------

    Petroleum and natural gas production (mcf/d)          570            573
    Average price ($/mcf)                         $      8.26    $     15.75

    Financial

    Petroleum and natural gas sales               $ 1,718,526    $ 3,307,803
    Funds from operations                            (141,288)     1,749,412
    Net Loss                                       (9,094,555)    (5,832,772)
    Working capital at December 31                  4,641,142      3,624,310


    -   The Company maintained its average daily gas production at 570
        thousand cubic feet ("mcf") per day during the year. Although net
        production was approximately 1000 mcf per day in Hungary, production
        is currently suspended for safety reasons while drilling operations
        are underway at the PEN-101 site, which have commenced. This is
        expected to last until mid May. The European gas markets continue to
        favour producers and the price of DualEx's Hungarian gas is projected
        to be a robust $10 per mcf for the remainder of 2010. The projected
        cashflow in Hungary will be sufficient to fund our current
        operations.

    -   During the year the Company drilled four wells in Hungary - three of
        which were gas discoveries. Subsequent to year end the Company
        drilled two more wells resulting in another gas discovery.

    -   The Company signed the Bouhajla Production Sharing Contract in
        Tunisia during 2009 and, in addition to establishing it's country
        office in Tunis, the Company has made good progress in populating its
        technical information database and has completed scanning and
        vectorization of the legacy 2D seismic within and immediately
        adjacent to the permit boundary. Interpretation of the seismic has
        begun and several structures have been identified. DualEx has a 100%
        contractor interest in the Bouhajla Permit, which encompasses 416
        square kilometres (105,000 acres), and is located onshore in the
        Pelagian Basin of east central Tunisia. The Block lies immediately
        west of the Sidi el Kilani field, which has produced to date
        approximately 48 million barrels of light oil.

    -   The Company participated in the drilling and testing of the
        exploratory Al Tayr 101 well in Syria. Unfortunately testing revealed
        that gas had not remained trapped within the structure and the well
        was plugged and abandoned, resulting in an $8.8 million write-down.
        The Company and its partners have elected not to continue the
        production sharing contract into the second exploration period.

    -   The Company raised $5.7 million gross proceeds in an equity financing
        during 2009.

    -   The Company prevailed in a legal claim in Canada, with regard to a
        producing gas property. The property reverted back to the Company,
        and was subsequently sold for gross proceeds of $1.4 million.

    -   The Company disposed of its non-core 10% interest in two exploration
        blocks in Portugal for $350,000.

    -   The Company exited the year with no debt and $4.6 million in working
        capital.
