Date: March 31, 2011; page 4 of 11
Recent drilling of new wells upon the Coline Lease has resulted in the following PDP wells having been established within the first quarter of 2011:
The V # 1 well on the Coline leases began producing oil on January 17, 2011 and produced a total of 2,773 Barrels of oil per March 31, 2011 at a rate of 45 Barrels of Oil per day on average.
The V # 2 well on the Coline leases began producing oil on January 30, 2011 and produced a total of 1,109 Barrels of oil per March 31, 2011 at a rate of 37 Barrels of oil on average.
The V # 4 well on the Coline leases began producing oil on March 2, 2011 and produced a total of 763 Barrels of oil per March 31, 2011 at a rate of 25.43 Barrels of oil on average.
The Gulf Fee lease is producing 4 BOPD from 2 wells with production being owned by Vanguard Energy Corp.
Thus the Coline leases are reported to have produced from the three V wells (V # 1, V # 2 and V # 4) a combined total for the first quarter of (2773+1,109+763) 4,645 Barrels of Oil from three PDP wells attributable to Vanguard Energy Corporation interests. The Gulf Fee lease is reported to have produced approximately 360 Barrels of oil for the first quarter of 2011. The combined production for Vanguard Energy Corporation’s interests in the above referenced leases for the first quarter of 2011 is approximately (1,872+360) 2,232 Barrels oil.
Nova’s evaluation of the referenced oil and gas leases within the Batson Field was performed using, but not limited to, 1) the operator’s supplied present production and well numbers, 2) the Texas Railroad Commission’s production numbers and decline curves derived there from, 3) the Producers Monthly Report, 4) the operators supplied present lease operating expenses (LOE), 5) the operator’s projected cost for workover and new drill wells, 6) a first of the month trailing 12 month average price of oil and gas of $ 83.424 per Bbl of oil and $ 4.095 per Thousand Cubic Feet (MCF) of natural gas held constant, 6) well log analyses, 7) present perforations, 8) behind pipe productive zones to be opened to the wellbores, and 9) PUD well locations remaining to be drilled.
Nova/Vanguard Energy Corporation: March 31, 2011 Nova Resource, Inc.’s updated “Certified SEC Report” (12 mth avg prices) of Oil and Gas Reserves and Valuations of 100% Working Interests in Properties owned by Vanguard Energy Corp. within the Batson Field of Hardin County, Texas.
Date: March 31, 2011; page 5 of 11
The reserves and values will vary due to the various possible economic conditions present at any given time and the subsequent economic life of the wells as a result of variations in the price of oil, LOE, etc. As per SEC requirements the first of the month prior 12 month average price of oil and gas of $ 83.424 per barrel of oil and $ 4.095 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of gas are used in this report. The Lease Operating Expenses (LOE) are held constant. The economic life of each property will depend upon the future sales price of oil and gas, the future LOE, and the success of workovers to recover PDNP reserves and the success of drilling PUD new wells to recover new un-drilled reserves as projected. No risk has been applied to the reserves and valuation other than the sensitivity analyses supplied for each lease. Only present proven developed producing wellbores are classified as PDP.
All V# 1, V # 2 and V # 4 and other proven developed producing PDP (existing producing) well reserves at PV-10 valuations are based upon the operator’s supplied production rates and LOE. Calculations of remaining recoverable PDP oil and gas reserves are predicated upon exponential decline for wells V # 1, V # 2 and V # 4 and hyperbolic decline for all other PDP wells as determined by production decline curves and present production rates as generated from the operator’s production reported, constant oil and gas prices and LOE, the operator’s reported net royalty interest (NRI) per lease and other operator and available data.
All Proven Developed Non-Producing (PDNP) (existing wellbores with calculated behind pipe reserves) at PV-10 valuations are based upon the operator’s supplied data, production histories of the leases, performed log analyses, the operator’s reported cost to workover existing wellbores for behind pipe reservoirs, and the production histories of surrounding wells from the same reservoirs. Exponential decline rates are used for all PDNP wells reserves using anticipated initial potential rates as determined from surrounding wells producing from the same reservoirs. Calculations include the added well cost to open, i.e. workover, the behind pipe reserves of approximately $ 50,000 per wellbore. $ 83.424 oil and $ 4.095 gas (average trailing 1st of the month 12 month average prices) held constant to derive the PV-10 reserves and their valuations.
All proven un-developed (PUD), wells remaining to be drilled, reserves at PV-10 valuations are based upon the assumption that all new SEC described PUD wellbores remaining to be drilled in the closest adjacent legal location will have similar productive reservoirs and are anticipated to have reserves similar to adjacent producing PDP wells with their remaining PDNP pay zones and will initially produce oil and gas at the average initial production rate expected
Nova/Vanguard Energy Corporation: March 31, 2011 Nova Resource, Inc.’s updated “Certified SEC Report” (12 mth avg prices) of Oil and Gas Reserves and Valuations of 100% Working Interests in Properties owned by Vanguard Energy Corp. within the Batson Field of Hardin County, Texas.

from adjacent productive wellbores. All PUD reserves calculations use exponential decline rates from anticipated initial production rates. Other required PUD calculation parameters are as follows: 1) hydrocarbons (oil or gas) will be sold at $ 83.424 per barrel of oil or $ 4.095 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) of gas, and 2) the price of oil and gas sold is held constant, and 3) all successful PUD wells will have the same LOE as existing producing wellbores, and 4) the LOE is held constant, and 5) the operators projected cost to drill and complete a PUD well of $ 500,000 per wellbore.
Sensitivity analyses of reserves and valuations were performed for all PDP, PDNP, and PUD projections from zero (0) production to a maximum projected production rate. The optimum expected rates of production were used for the projections of reserves and valuations.
The resulting economically recoverable PDP, PDNP, and PUD reserves using constant $ 83.424 oil and $ 4.095 gas and present LOE and projected costs @ PV-10 results in the following:
Calculations effective as of March 31, 2011 of PDP, PDNP, and PUD reserves and valuations at PV-10 by lease Name and NRI are as follows:
