First Titan Corp. (FTTN)
President and CEO Sydney Jim issued the following open letter to
stockholders today:
Dear Stockholders,
Despite the challenges of today’s low-price environment, our Company
made tremendous strides in 2015. We’re confident the forward-looking
strategy we’ve put into place will ensure 2016 meets and surpasses our
success over the past 12 months.
Value-Based Acquisitions Lead the Way. As the price of oil
continued to sink, FTTN saw opportunity amidst chaos – the chance to buy
promising properties at substantial discount. Oil and gas companies are
divesting valuable assets to stay in business. Needing to sell quickly,
they’ve put up properties otherwise unobtainable in better market
conditions.
FTTN has identified several intriguing assets and signed letters of
intent on properties in the Cline and Barnett Shales. These efforts
should lead to a growing portfolio that build revenues and increase
shareholder value.
No one can predict the price of a volatile commodity with certainty.
However, indicators show growing fractures inside the Organization of
Petroleum Producing Countries, which has flooded markets to drive
American shale producers out of business. These indicators show
weakening resolve within OPEC, a change that could led to tightening oil
markets and rising prices - good news for companies like ours.
FTTN expands its interests. In 2015, the Company made advances in
two additional markets: Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and oilfield
services. In EOR, our due diligence suggests a strong opportunity for
companies in developing and marketing technology to extract more oil
from mature or declining fields. FTTN is considering entering the EOR
field based on these findings and is now looking for suitable entry
points into the sector.
The oilfield services sector, much like production, is seeing surging
asset and equipment sales as companies divest to stay in business. We
see a solid market for used equipment, particularly in midstream. With
current conditions, companies can buy prime used equipment at
substantial discount, refurbish it and then lease or sell it to oil and
gas companies for profit. FTTN is now exploring future oilfield services
options.
We’ll continue our forward-looking business strategy to acquire
value-based oil and gas leases, to explore new opportunities in
additional markets and to build sustainable revenue streams in the
process.
It’s a simple-sounding plan, however we believe simplicity is the surest
road to success in a complex, often challenging industry.
In closing, thank you for your support and faith in the Company and its
plan. This past year was one of tremendous progress and 2016 holds even
brighter things ahead. The best is yet to come.
Warmest Regards,
Sydney Jim — President and CEO, First Titan Corp.
