Gasco Energy (NYSE: GSX) reported Q4 EPS of ($0.02), versus $0.00 reported last year. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.29 million, versus $3.7 million reported last year.
Outlook
Due to the significant extended decline in the natural gas market and sustained low natural gas prices caused by excess production and stagnant demand for natural gas, the Company has not been able to recover its exploration and development costs as anticipated. As such, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund its ongoing operations, and it currently anticipates that cash on hand and forecasted cash flows from operations will only be sufficient to fund cash requirements for working capital, including debt payment obligations, through the second quarter of 2013. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to adequately finance its operations or execute its existing short-term and long-term business plans, and its liquidity and results of operations are likely to be materially adversely affected if it is unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows, secure additional capital or otherwise pursue a strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transaction to provide additional liquidity. The Company has engaged a financial advisor to assist it in evaluating such potential strategic alternatives. It is possible these strategic alternatives will require the Company to make a pre-packaged, pre-arranged or other type of filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy may be filed against the Company). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
