KeyBanc analyst says, "The Company holds several catalysts to grow production and proved reserves going forward, including: 1) a management team with a proven track record of creating shareholder value, as well as a strong technical team with proven operational success; 2) a multi-year drilling inventory of low risk plays, primarily in the Anadarko Basin; 3) option value in several emerging plays (extensional Barnett, emerging Woodford and Barnett shales in the Delaware Basin, and Bakken play in the Williston Basin), where the Company has had early success. Our RNAV is conservatively estimated at $10.20 per share, as we have risked the 6.0 Tcfe plus of upside potential by 80%, despite early drilling success in most of the Company's plays. Longer term, we believe KRU's exceptional technical team will unlock the upside potential of its asset base; however, given the current commodity pricing and credit environment, and lack of investor interest in the micro-cap E&P sector, we believe for the present a HOLD rating is most appropriate."
