The company is headquartered in Southlake, Texas, near Fort Worth. There is a second office near Dallas, in the town of Paris. The total number of employees varies. It is at approximately 20 in 2009. The company's stock trades publicly on the NYSE MKT stock exchange, with the symbol HKN. ==History== The company began as an unprofitable collection of Texas oil wells for investors seeking tax write-offs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harken Energy Chronology )〕 In 1986, Spectrum 7 was bought by Harken for $2.2 million. After the sale of his company, as part of the deal, George W. Bush would serve on Harken's board of directors. George W. Bush remained on the board through 1993 and was also paid fees as a consultant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Truth About Bush and Harken Energy Corp. )〕 In 1987, Talat M. Othman joined the board of the company and served as the chair of the Audit Committee. Aloha Petroleum was sold in a controversial deal in which Harken's equity stake in Aloha was turned into a loan, thereby disguising financial loses. This questionable accounting technique, which can serve to inflate profits, was also used by Enron. It helped result in the infamous 2001 Enron scandal, when the fifth largest corporation in America at the time suddenly collapsed into bankruptcy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HKN, Inc.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
