From the Chairman

Fellow Shareholders:

Over the past year the Company has undergone many changes among which are:

·  
Initiated Public Trading as a Fully Reporting Company
·  
Settled the Delhi Environmental Lawsuit
·  
Restored the Delhi Field to production
·  
Settled Numerous Lawsuits against the Company
·  
Raised $4,000,000 in funds to execute the business Plan
 
The Business Plan for the Company was refined per the following outline:
 
Ø Stage One – Acquire and Maintain Producing Properties (Completed)
Ø Stage Two – Place All Wells on the Properties on Production (Partially Completed)
Ø Stage Three – Conduct Development Drilling on All Prospective Acreage
Ø Stage Four – Make and Fund Large Acquisitions for Growth
 
We are now attempting to raise the funds to complete Stage Two of the Plan to move all viable existing wells into the Proved Developed Producing category and commence Stage Three to exploit the numerous Proved Developed Non-Producing, Proved Undeveloped, and Probable Projects. The economic climate has made fundraising very difficult; and, despite the efforts of Management, there is no certainty that sufficient funds will be raised to execute the Plan.  
 
Last year you gave Management the authority to enter into any number of possibilities to protect the shareholders and hopefully insure the survival of the Company.  These measures included, but are not limited to: Merger, Sale of Substantially All of the Company’s Assets, etc.  Other possibilities are, by statute, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. None of these options have yet been exercised.
 
The situation is dire and continued survival is uncertain. The New Management Team inherited many unknown Contingent Liabilities, to include, but not limited to: improper assignment of overriding royalty interests against existing contract covenants, failure to pay payroll taxes to the government, outstanding accounts payable and liens on wells, improper use of suspended royalty funds, etc. Management is working to resolve these issues. A vote FOR Management’s proposals supports your current management team and will increase the likelihood of success.  We encourage all Shareholders to keep abreast of the Company’s activities by watching our web page.  Postings of significant events will appear as they occur.
 
Management requests your support for the future of the Company by voting FOR all of the Agenda Items proposed in the Proxy Materials.


Sincerely,


Robert D. Johnson, CEO
