Management Comments

Ronnie L. Steinocher, President and CEO, said, "We ended 2011 with net production of 32 BOPD, an increase of 20 BOPD for the year. This included three small acquisitions and several  well reactivations. We also carried into 2012 ongoing negotiations for three new producing property acquisitions."

Mr. Steinocher added, "We're starting 2012 in much better shape than 2011.  Our acquisitions last year set the stage for a number of new opportunities and we are working to close these as soon as possible. We have a well-thought-out plan for this year and are working to have the required resources in place to execute this plan."

"This year will be an extension of our 2011 program, but with more focus on larger acquisitions with in-fill drilling locations for later this year. We are also working diligently to complete our audited financials, move to the OTCBB, and restructure or eliminate our debt."
