ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 9, 2001, FX Energy announced that a preliminary open-hole test of the
Tuchola 108-2 wildcat well in the Pomeranian project area in northwest Poland
flowed 9.5 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas per day, the limit of the
surface equipment.
The discovery is in the well's secondary objective, a 200-foot-thick gross pay
interval of the Permian Main Dolomite formation between 8,318 feet and 8,514
feet measured depth. It was tested on a 26/64-inch choke with a flowing tubing
pressure of 2,380 pounds per square inch. Drilling will continue toward the
primary objective, the Devonian sandstone.
FX Energy owns a 42.5% interest in the well. Apache Corporation (NYSE:APA) is
the operator with a 42.5% interest and the Polish Oil and Gas Company owns the
remaining 15%.
The Tuchola 108-2 is approximately 60 miles from the nearest production. A gas
pipeline is located within about three miles from the discovery. The last
discovery in the Pomeranian area was drilled in the mid-1980s.
Several similar leads have been identified on trend in the area.

not guarantees of future drilling or other exploration or development results,

Energy's control. Actual events or results may differ materially from the
