IVAN takes 100% of the risk and NOW GETS APPROX 29% OF REVENUE instead of 49% (due to 40% sale to CTIC.) 2. IVAN still needs to raise *$156mm to develop Dagang – ADDITIONAL FINANCING WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE IVAN’S % OF OWNERSHIP/DILUTE SHAREHOLDERS. And yet, IVAN still takes 100% of the risk. 3. Sunwing takes 100% of the risk on an oil field (Dagang Oil) that’s shown to be MEDIUM TO LOW PRODUCING. 4. 40% sale of Sunwing for 20mm GIVES SUNWING A MARKET VALUE OF 50MM, while IVAN market cap is approximately 1 billion. OCT 31, 2003 IVAN SEC FILING pg-18…www.sec.gov “Under the contract, Sunwing operates the project and funds 100% of the development costs to earn 82% of the net revenue from oil production until cost recovery, at which time Sunwing’s entitlement reverts to 49%. In May 2003, Sunwing’s Overall Development Program for the Dagang Project was approved by Chinese regulatory authorities. The Plan contemplates expenditures of approximately $185 million over a three-year period and will involve drilling 115 new wells and reworking an additional 29 of the 82 existing wells.” *******************************TOXIC BOB HYPE vs REALITY – The History ~ HYPE major oil/gas in Texas - RESULT all dry or unprofitable wells ~ HYPE California HUGE deep gas - RESULT dry hole ~ HYPE Russian HUGE oil & gas - RESULT abandon all Russian exploration ~ HYPE Peru HUGE oil & gas - RESULT abandon all Peru exploration ~ HYPE China HUGE oil & gas - RESULT 6 years produce 7ish low producing wells, negative return on investment ~ HYPE California HUGE heavy oil - RESULT small, low margin production wells that nobody really wants ~ HYPE Wyoming HUGE 100 MILLION bbl oil - REALITY low producing expensive, low margin project that nobody really wants.
