EMM Energy Inc. to re-state certain financial information

CALGARY, April 27 /CNW/ - EMM Energy Inc. ("EMM" of the "Company") (TSX Venture Exchange symbol: M) announces that, in conjunction with the preparation and filing of its December 31, 2009 year end audited financial statements and corresponding management's discussion & analysis ("MD&A"), it anticipates adjusting and re-stating certain financial information from its December 31, 2008 year end audited financial statements.

The anticipated re-statement is based primarily as a result of a $1.75 million payout adjustment on EMM's interest in the Ricinus well that was received by the Company on June 1, 2009 (subsequent other cost adjustments reduced the net amount to $1.6 million). This significant subsequent event occurred after a joint venture audit was completed on the Ricinus well payout account. The payout adjustment was for 2008, specifically from October 2008 when the initial payout was calculated, to June 2008 when the adjusted payout was calculated. EMM had not provided for an accrual of this payout amount when it completed its 2008 year end audited financial statements due to the uncertainty on timing, volumes, royalties and sulphur adjustments and insufficient information on the amount to be recovered. EMM's previous treatment of the payout adjustment is further discussed in the Company's MD&A for each the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and nine month period ended September 30, 2009, each available for review under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

After consulting with its auditors, it was determined that certain financial information for 2009 and the comparable figures for 2008 should be re-stated to more accurately reflect the actual timing of gas and sulphur production and volumes from the Ricinus well. Also factored into this determination were the high commodity prices in 2008 that distort the comparable figures for prices and volumes in 2008 and 2009. For purposes of clarity, the proposed adjustments are not anticipated to affect EMM's cash balances in any material way. The Company will account for the necessary adjustments and re-stated figures in its December 31, 2009 year end audited financial statements and corresponding MD&A, all anticipated to be filed on or before April 30, 2010.
