During the first nine months of 2009, the Corporation continued to explore, develop and expand its natural gas and oil interests and generated a net loss of $14.5 million, as compared to a $3.7 million net profit for the same period of 2008. The variance was primarily due to the following factors:

�

--  A recorded loss of $9,7 million on the sale of the Corporation's oil &
    gas property interests in West Virginia in June 2009;
--  $5.1 million gain booked on the sale of non-core unproved leasehold
    interests in Ohio in 2008;
--  $3.3 million attributable to lower revenue;
--  $2.8 million impairment pertaining to Block 41 in Yemen;
--  $0.2 million interest expense booked in the first nine months of 2009
    versus $1.0 million interest revenue in the first nine months of 2008;
--  Partially offset by $2.6 million income tax recovery recorded in 2009
    pertaining to the sale of property interests in West Virginia and $1.9
    million lower G&A costs during the first nine months of 2009 compared to
    the first nine months of 2008.

Zoran Arandjelovic, Epsilon's Executive Chairman, President and CEO, stated: "Epsilon is rejuvenated with a new focus on our core assets and a dynamic approach to issues facing the Corporation:

�

--  We are finally seeing the results of our focused efforts of cost
    containment with lower overhead costs.
--  Our Highway 706 project targeting the Marcellus shale is progressing as
    planned with the second compressor now on-line with a substantial
    increase in the cash flow from the sale of natural gas.
--  We settled our dispute with Pinpoint covering drilling services on the
    Highway 706 project for approximately $1.1 million. Pinpoint was seeking
    recovery of approximately $2.9 million.
--  We have sold non-core leasehold properties located in eastern
    Pennsylvania to an unrelated third party for $3,400 per net leasehold
    acre and received $10.7 million for approximately 3,160 acres.
--  We are now debt free after paying off on October 16, 2009, the
    outstanding balance of $7.5 million line of credit at Northwestern
    Bank."
