Commenting on the 2012 year-end financial results, Mr. Giovanni Catalano, Po Valley's CEO said "In
2012 the company was pleased to make a maiden net profit before tax of €201,570. In addition we have managed to offset the impact of the decrease in production resulting from the temporary suspension of Sillaro's main producing level through strong gas prices and improved operating
efficiencies. The construction of the new condensate separator is almost complete and the field is
expected to return to the previous daily production rates of 80,000 standard cubic metres in early April
2013".
