----------------------------------------------------------------------------Gross Working Interest Oil Natural and Gas Reserves as at Gas Natural Total Pre-tax December 31, 2012 Oil Liquids Gas BOE(i) NPV 10% (Mbbls) (Mbbls) (MMcf) (MBOE) ($000)Proved developed producing 2,089 595 25,150 6,875 114,369Total proved 3,480 964 35,118 10,297 143,960Total proved plus probable 6,709 1,814 55,475 17,770 224,826----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") maybe misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
The GLJ price forecast, inflation and exchange rate assumptions used in the reserves evaluation is shown below. Over the next 10 years, this price forecast is on average 11% lower for natural gas and 6% lower for oil than the price forecast used in the reserves evaluation last year.

STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
The Company is continuing its process to identify, examine and consider a range of strategic alternatives available to the Company with a view to enhancing shareholder value. The strategic alternatives may include, but are not limited to, a sale of all or a material portion of the assets of Anderson, either in one transaction, or in a series of transactions, the outright sale of the Company, or a merger or other strategic transaction involving Anderson and a third party. The Board of Directors believes that the Company's shares trade at a discount to the value of the underlying assets, especially given its high quality light oil production base, prospective horizontal light oil drilling inventory and significant tax pools. The Board of Directors has established a special committee comprised of independent directors of the Company to oversee the process and has retained BMO Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets as its financial advisors to assist the Special Committee and the Board of Directors with the process.
