WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 1998--
Daleco Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:DLOV & CDN:DLOV)
In the annual meeting held on Feb. 16, 1998, the shareholders overwhelmingly approved the board of directors proposed Amendment for a ten for one reverse split of the company's common shares. Approximately 82% of the company's outstanding shares have been voted and management's proposals have been approved by more than 96% of the shares voted. As reported previously, management believes that such a move will keep the company in full compliance with recent changes to the NASDAQ requirements and will maintain its listing on the NASDAQ market. The effective date for the reverse stock split is Feb. 17, 1998. At the shareholder's meeting, Gary Novinskie, president and COO, also announced the completion of the first phase of the Austin Chalk development program funded by Heller Financial. As planned for in Phase I, seven wells have been refrac'ed and three horizontal wells have been redrilled, resulting in a 400% increase in oil and gas production levels. The next phases of the program call for the reentry and/or drilling of an additional 22 horizontal wells. Dov Amir, chairman and CEO, stated that based upon these results and the company's current holdings, management believes that the market price of the company's common stock is substantially undervalued. He went on to say that management's opinion is supported by the recent drilling success as well as the independent engineering reports prepared for year-end 1997 which value the oil and gas reserves alone at greater than $8.00 per share post-split. Furthermore, the company's recent activities, which include its aggressive acquisition and development program, will assure continued growth and profitability. Daleco Resources is an international natural resources company with holdings in oil and gas, timber, and precious minerals. The company currently has oil and gas operations in Texas, Pennsylvania, Alabama, West Virginia, and New Mexico. Management is aggressively reviewing additional acquisitions of developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties to expand its reserves base and areas of operations.
