SMALLCAPNEWSWIRE SPECIAL ALERT: (OTC Bulletin Board) SYMBOL: KISS TODAY'S CLOSING BID PRICE $ .40 52 WEEK HI: 2.50 52 WEEK LOW: .25
CORPORATE SUMMARY Kismet Energy Corp. (OTCBB: KISS) is a junior oil and gas exploration and development company focused on exploration and production in high reward areas in both California and Oklahoma. The company's exploration thrust in 1999 will be focused on areas exhibiting long life reserves, liquid rich natural gas, and contiguous tracks of undeveloped land. Kismet Energy endeavors to build long-term shareholder value through acquisition and development of oil and natural gas assets, and through exploration and development of new oil and gas prospects.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
An overview of the energy sector reveals incredible performance with regard to stock price and earnings. Demand for natural gas is at all time high. This fact ties right in with oil and gas prices sitting at their highest levels in 21 months (Oil over $21/barrel and Gas over $2.75/mcf). Examples of companies benefiting from the dual resource play of oil and natural gas include: Kerr-McGee (NYSE: KMG), Apache Corp. (NYSE: APA), Burlington Resources (NYSE: BR), and Coastal Corp. (NYSE: CGP). Typically, energy issues have doubled and in some cases tripled from their 52-week lows. Most of the press for this industry has been buzzing of late with the discussion of takeovers, both the announced and speculated variety. One common factor in these takeover deals is that reserves are being valued at almost 40% more now than in recent years. News stories regarding oil and gas stocks on the major wire services (Reuters, for example) quote analysts who are reconfirming buy ratings. The natural gas plays near Midway Peak prospect are making news everyday. Chevron (CHV:NYSE) made a big discovery in the Point of Rocks sands nearby Midway Peak Prospect. Berkley Petroleum (BKP:TSE), Hilton Petroleum (HTP:VSE), Kookaburra Resources (KOB:TSE) and partners are drilling Bellevue replacement well in a northeast field targeting huge gas reserves at depth. A recent blowout at Bellevue well #1 gives an indication of enormous reserves of hydrocarbons at depth in the San Joaquin Valley. Kismet has drilled, cased and cemented one well so far in Arkoma Basin in Oklahoma which is a home to Kinta field with 3 trillion cubic feet of gas in reserves. The results from this well should be out in 10 days. Kismet's oil and gas joint ventures are impressive with their "low risk / high reward" overtones. Share prices should react with any positive developments relating to drilling and discovery. Speculators could consider Kismet shares undervalued based upon potential reserves alone. The stock price has been forming a base over the last 60 days in a tight range near its 52-week low. The stock could be described as "struggling to drop" while forming an apparent base of support. Kismet has not had any type of bounce, as it appears investors have been playing the majors.
VALUATION
Kismet Energy is quickly building a portfolio of oil and gas properties, which are geographically focused, and seeking to generate high netback production and cash flow. The goal for 1999 is to substantially increase reserves and production with low finding and on stream costs.
KISS has approximately 8.5 million shares outstanding with a float of approximately 6.2 million. Market cap is roughly 3 million. Kismet's 20 % working interest in the San Joaquin Valley with Nuevo Energy (NYSE) could easily boom the stock 20 fold with any major discovery in the Point of Rocks sands formation in San Joaquin Valley in California. At the present level of trading, (40 cents) there seems to be very little downside risk with ample room for price recovery to highs of over $2.00 less than a year ago. Based on the Company's data and the recent strategic alliances with well-capitalized oil and gas producers, Kismet Energy could soon strike oil and gas along with cash flow and profits for investors.
