Martin Davies Manitok Energy MEI-X COMMENT Jun 25, 2014

Not a name that he is comfortable with. Lost their key geological person who took them into the disturbed (???) Foothills trend where they had a remarkable amount of success. Their development inventory in that play is shrinking and they’ve since farmed in on Encana (ECA-T) which presents a whole new element of risks. Stock appears to be cheap on current production but cheap stocks usually are more expensive than you thought because production does not quite grow at the same pace.

Had a bit of a stumble last year. COO left, which, in his opinion, was one of the core parts of management. Their operations and production updates have not been stellar. He needs to see 2 or 3 more quarters of this company to see if they can turn around operations and get back on the path they were a year ago. Currently trading at a very cheap multiple.

He has lightened recently. It is one that had an operational misstep recently. There is a fairly spread out asset package there. It certainly has depth of opportunities.

Under a cloud right now. The repeatability of their property where they drive most of the production from has raised concern. Signed a deal with ECA-T to exploit massive amounts of their royalty lands. Likes the company.

They are running out of running room in one of their assets. He thinks the market does not understand the steps they are taking on other drilling. So he would not buy it.

Pressure on this came with the departure of one of the senior guys that was thought to be the sole driver behind their success in the Stolberg play. He feels they have proven to the market that the people still in this company are capable of delivering results. Also, did a big farm-in with Encana (ECA-T) on PrarieSky (PSK-T), and seems they have the competency to chase a reserve like this. Thinks the market has underestimated the potential of Entice. Feels this is a $5 stock.

Has been a favourite of his for a while and he has been wrong, but he still feels strongly about this one. The asset they have there is massive. Prairie Sky has a royalty on it and they are finding they are more oily than they originally thought. One of the lowest cash flow multiples he owns. He wants to see 30 or 40 wells drilled before he makes a decision.

It is the epitome of what people don’t want to own today. It has balance sheet issues, okay drilling results, but it is undercapitalized and the management team lost traction with the street.

The prospect of there being equity value in this company is fairly low. If you own, he would Sell and take a tax loss and move on.
