Falcon's discovered resources are not reserves. Only those quantities of oil and gas that are anticipated to be economically recoverable from discovered resources are classified as reserves. Until such time as Falcon's discovered resources are proven to be reserves, there is a risk that Falcon may not achieve ongoing operations from which it may generate significant revenue.
