Cubic Energy, Inc.'s Plan of Compliance Accepted by NYSE Amex

Cubic Energy, Inc. (NYSE Amex:QBC) ("Cubic" or the "Company") today announced that on September 15, 2009 it received notice from the NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange") that the Exchange has accepted the Company's previously submitted plan of compliance and, pursuant to such plan, has granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards.

As previously disclosed on June 29, 2009, the Company received a letter from the Exchange indicating that the Exchange believes the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv), of the Exchange's company guide based upon the Company's financial condition. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan detailing how it intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) by December 28, 2009 and, on July 27, 2009, submitted such a plan to the Exchange. As a result, the Exchange has granted the Company an extension through December 28, 2009 to strengthen its financial condition and thereby evidence compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv).

The Company will be subject to periodic reviews by the Exchange during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the Exchange.
