Comparison of Production Costs for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 & March 31, 2003.
There were no dry hole costs for the quarter ending March 31, 2004 compared to $3,769 for the same period in 2003. This was a result of costs attributable to drilling projects during 2003 which did not continue in 2004.
As a result, our operating loss for the period ending March 31, 2004 was $355,836 compared to $308,587 for the same period in 2003.
Lease operating costs decreased by $110,565 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This was a result of reduction in producing wells in anticipation of a rework program.
Consulting fees increased by $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This was a result of common stock issued for services.

Legal and accounting expenses decreased by $61,620 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This was a direct result of reduced reporting and compliance work concerning the prior business combinations and acquisitions.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased by $22,911 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This was a result of changes of estimates and acquisitions.
Stock transfer expenses increased by $150 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This was a result of increased stock transactions.
Our interest expense increased to $61,100 for the three months ending March 31, 2004 compared to $0 for the same period in 2003. This was as a result of notes payables' previously outstanding accrual of interest which has since been converted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this statement.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as the Company has not issued any derivative instruments or engaged in any hedging activities as of June 30, 2003.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of the statement are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company currently reports stock issued to employees under the rules of SFAS 123. Accordingly, there is no change in disclosure requirements due to SFAS 148 as adopted by the Company d uring the year ended June 30, 2003.
In June 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146"). SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 was issued in June 2003 and is effective March 31, 2003 with early application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS during the year ended June 30, 2003 and there has been no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations from adopting SFAS 146.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS No. 145"), which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. FASB No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect was rescinded, and as a result, FASB 64, which amended FASB 4, was rescinded as it was no longer necessary. SFAS No. 145 amended FASB 13 to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company adopted SFAS 145 during the year ended June 30, 2003 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material effect on the financial st atements of the Company at June 30, 2003.
