Investment Considerations

Undervalued by almost any measure

Price/Earnings (11.17x); low price to cash flow ratio

Strong balance sheet:

Cash on hand $40.8 million at June 30, 2004

Debt of $6.0 million at June 30, 2004

High dividend yield with excellent payout record

Long track record of consistent returns

Disciplined strategy for growth

Improvement in other operations will deliver immediate benefits to bottom line

Cash flow and un-leveraged balance sheet, coupled with the potential for increasing the public float and market visibility provide fuel for external growth but focus will remain on bottom line

Earnings concentrated in Guyana

Low volume and float impact shares; controlling shareholder
