                                Trading Update 
 
Quorum Oil and Gas Technology Fund Limited (LSE:QOGT), a registered closed-ended 
Guernsey investment company traded on the London Stock Exchange, is pleased to 
provide the following update. 
 
Strata Energy Services Inc. ("Strata") has further advanced its negotiations 
with a major oil company and other contractors in Mexico for significant 
multi-year contracts.  Such contracts, if won, will require capital expenditure 
in order to finance equipment to undertake the work required.  Strata is 
considering a number of options to raise the necessary capital including 
conventional debt, asset financing, further equity investment from new or 
existing investors, and also potentially a capital raise in the form of a 
listing on an international stock exchange. Final audited results to 30 November 
2009 for Strata are expected to be consistent with earlier guidance with revenue 
of C$27 million and EBITDA of C$8.2 million (EBITDA C$10 million post removal of 
foreign exchange adjustments). 
 
Ambercore/Terrapoint ("Ambercore") continues to develop applications for 4DiQ, 
its 3D graphics and search engine and Ambercore is exploring the possibility of 
either licensing or selling this application for use in non oil and gas sectors, 
for example its potential applications in mobile telephony.  This process is 
still at a very early stage and accordingly no assurance can be given that 
Ambercore will be able to realise any potential value from these anticipated 
transactions. 
 
WellPoint Systems Inc. ("WellPoint") has not completed its audit to 31 December 
2009.  However, initial estimates look consistent with the guidance issued by 
WellPoint at the end of 2009 (EBITDA in excess of C$9 million including certain 
exceptional items such as the proceeds of an export insurance claim. It is 
believed that WellPoint would still be EBITDA positive without such exceptional 
items, which represents an improvement from WellPoint's small EBITDA loss in 
2008).
