Revenue
In Q3 2011, the Company recorded $2,947,000 in gross oil and natural gas sales before royalty, as compared to $1,816,000 in Q2 2011, $1,584,000 in Q1 2011 and $2,534,000 in Q3 2010. The increase in gross revenues was due to higher oil and gas production for the current quarter. The substantial increase in oil production for the current quarter was due to the response of the Halfway “E” Pool to the water injection that commenced in March 2011. Oil production for the current quarter was 82% higher than Q2 2011.

Cash Balance
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $512,000 as at September 30, 2011. In addition to the cash balance, the Company has an unused line of credit of $2.7 million from a Canadian Bank.

In September 2011, the Company obtained a $7 million line of credit from
a Canadian Bank to refinance the bridge loan of $4.1 million and to
provide operating funds. The line of credit, repayable on demand by the

Non-GAAP Measures: This news release contains references to non-GAAP measures as follows:
Operating Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities.
Operating Netback is a non-GAAP measure defined as revenues less royalties and operating and transportation expenses.
Operating Loss is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) excluding non-cash items that management believes affects the comparability of operating results. These items may include, but are not limited to, unrealized financial instrument gain (loss), impairment losses and impairment reversals, gain (loss) on divestitures, and change in fair value of financial instruments.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense, interest expense and finance fee, and amortization, depletion and accretion.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Items excluded generally are non-cash items, one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated.
Non-GAAP measures are commonly used in the oil and gas industry. Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and previous GAAP such as Operating Cash Flow, Operating Netback, Operating Loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and therefore are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures have been described and presented in this document in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding our liquidity and our ability to generate funds to finance our operations.
BOE Presentation: Barrel of oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. The term “BOE” may be misleading if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six mcf of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. Total BOEs are calculated by multiplying the daily production by the number of days in the period.
Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information: This news release contains statements about oil and gas production and operating activities that may constitute "forward-looking statements" or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation as they involve the implied assessment that the resources described can be profitably produced in the future, based on certain estimates and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by Dejour and described in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, adverse general economic conditions, operating hazards, drilling risks, inherent uncertainties in interpreting engineering and geologic data, competition, reduced availability of drilling and other well services, fluctuations in oil and gas prices and prices for drilling and other well services, government regulation and foreign political risks, fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars and other currencies, as well as other risks commonly associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Additional information on these and other factors, which could affect Dejour’s operations or financial results, are included in Dejour’s reports on file with Canadian and United States securities regulatory authorities. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management's estimates or opinions change unless otherwise required under securities law.
The TSX does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
