According to the report:

"Kodiak Energy Inc. is a multi-project company with a world-class land position of more than 340,000 gross acres leased for exploration and development in multiple jurisdictions and work environments. Very importantly, in each of the succeeding years since its inception, Kodiak Energy has progressively added value to each project with strategic exploration plans and has financed and implemented those plans. Their projects are now at key milestones in the cycle of exploration, development, and production. Kodiak intends to start with a vertical shale gas fracture stimulation into the Muskwa/Evie shale gas formation during this winter season. A production testing, which will include a multi-point flow and build up test, will be completed after stimulation. The Lucy project has the potential to yield immediate cash flow or a capital divestiture opportunity, which will then fund other developments. If the project is a success, the Company estimates its valuation to be approx. $35 million or $0.59/share. For the Little Chicago Prospect, Chapman Engineering estimated a heavily-risked probability of success of 14% and calculated a cumulative cash flow before income tax, discounted at 15%/year, to be $244.9M or $2.55/share."

Regarding the share price, Schlotter said; "Given its current share price, it appears that only a very small portion of the upside potential is currently being priced into KDKN shares. All together we have arrived at a heavily risked-adjusted Appraised Net Worth of $379.8 million or $3.45 per share. Our 12 -- 18 month target price of $3.45 is based on approx. 1.00x P/ANW valuation metric."
