Outlook

Stream's growth strategy is focused on increasing production, reserves, sales and cash flow through the effective development of its Albanian assets. At the same time, the Company is concentrating on developing incremental reserve value opportunities from tertiary development through EOR in the oilfields and exploration of the seismically mapped structures adjacent to its producing Delvina gas condensate field.

Stream's 2012 work plan incorporates three key elements: a) continued production growth; b) reserves growth; and c) internal corporate/organizational development.  Management is committed to execute its 2012 growth program, subject to the availability of resources and services.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, Stream plans to commission six additional jet pumps at Cakran-Mollaj, continue workovers and waterflood activities at Gorisht-Kocul and prepare for the complete takeover of the Ballsh-Hekal oilfield. At Delvina, the Company intends to continue preparations for drilling of the first horizontal well, including securing a drilling rig and materials required for the drilling and completion of the well in the first half of 2013.

The execution of the Company's growth program, negotiation of longer term export contracts and strengthening of its financial resources is expected to result in additional value to Stream and its shareholders.

Use of Boe Equivalents

The oil and gas industry commonly expresses production and reserve volumes on a barrel of oil equivalent (Boe) basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Boe may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
