HOUSTON, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Petrogen Corp., (OTC Bulletin Board: PTGC; Frankfurt-Berlin: PTD) today announced that it intends to change its fiscal year-end from September 30 to December 31. This step is being taken to synchronize the company''s fiscal reporting period with the majority of Petrogen''s industry peers and with the Securities and Exchange Commission''s required year-end reserve reporting period of December 31.
The last day of Petrogen''s most recently completed financial year was September 30, 2003. It completed a three month transitional financial year on December 31, 2003. The company has filed an SEC form 10KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, and will file interim financial statements as Form 10KSB for the three month transition period ending December 31, 2003 by March 31, 2004.
"This change of year-end to December 31 is another step toward refining the company''s corporate structure and improving our reporting process," stated Sacha Spindler, Petrogen''s Chief Executive Officer. This more conventional year-end should also make it easier for members of the investment community to perform their analysis and peer comparisons."
