Patrick McGrath, CEO of Cub said: "We are pleased to report $2,138,000 or $0.01 per share in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the price of natural gas was the primary contributor to the 2021 financial results. Cub also signed a letter agreement for the sale of its 35% equity interest in Kub-Gas for deemed consideration of $10.6 million. The proposed sale will deleverage Cub's balance and allow Cub to focus on its 100% owned assets and new opportunities."

Due to the recent material increase in natural gas prices and no parallel increase in power prices, the Company has increased its sales of natural gas at the RK field and temporarily suspended the power business as of September 18, 2021 as this strategy is more profitable at present. The Company will continue to monitor the prices of both commodities and utilize whichever one produces the better return for shareholders.

The closing is subject to certain conditions including Ukraine regulatory approval.

Notes:
Pro-rata petroleum and natural gas revenue is a non-IFRS measure that adds the Company's petroleum and natural gas revenue earned in the respective periods to the Company's 35% equity share of the KUB-Gas natural gas sales that the Company has an economic interest in.
Capital expenditures includes the purchase of property, plant and equipment and the purchase of exploration and evaluation assets. Pro-rata capital expenditures are a non-IFRS measure that adds the Company's capital expenditures in the respective periods to the Company's 35% equity share of the KUB-Gas and 50% equity share of CNG Holdings capital expenditures that the Company has an economic interest in.
For purposes of the pro-rata netback calculation, the Company's profit from gas trading is added to the revenue of Kub-Gas to better reflect the true natural gas price achieved and field netback.
Reader Advisory
With the current cash resources, negative working capital, fluctuating commodity prices, currency fluctuations, reliance on a limited number of customers, the Company may not have sufficient cash to continue the exploration and development activities. These matters raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they become due.
