COMMENTS ON ERRONEOUS WEBSITE INFORMATION

 

Lake Charles, La. (January 13, 2005) – Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. (AMEX:CKX) announces that it has learned that two websites, which appear to share information, are reporting that the Company’s “properties have proved reserves of approximately 10 million barrels of oil and 338 million cu. ft. of natural gas.” As the Company states in its most recent Form 10-K, the Company “has no reserve information on any of [its] properties, and it would be uneconomical and unpractical [for it] to acquire this information.” Nevertheless, the Company can say that the total of the reserve figures posted on the websites mentioned above vastly exceeds even the most optimistic guess at what the Company’s total reserves might be.

 

By correcting the erroneous information referred to above, the Company does not undertake to issue further corrections should it discover other erroneous information of the same or a different type. Investors should rely only on information that appears in the Company’s SEC filings or that is released by the Company.

 

The Company was incorporated in 1930 and is headquartered in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It owns and operates real estate holdings that generate oil and gas royalties, timber sales and agriculture rents. Originally formed to receive mineral royalties spun off by a bank to its shareholders, the Company has pursued a goal of acquiring landholdings in Southwest Louisiana. The Company is not involved in exploration and production.
