NARRATIVE

For Period Ended:August 31, 2017

Please provide a brief description of any significant business and legal actions taken by the debtor, its creditors, or the court during the reporting period, any unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions that are reported in the financial statements, and any significant changes in the financial condition of the debtor which have occurred subsequent to the report date.

During the period from August 1st through August 31st, there were no material unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

The Debtor continues discussions with the secured lenders about their desired plans to move forward, which include reorganizing in a manner similar to the Plan previously submitted, but with a parallel process for possible sale of the Debtor’s assets.

The Debtor was unable to secure a stalking horse bidder by the hearing scheduled for August 15, 2017. As a result, the Court permitted the Debtor to submit a stalking horse bid with a signed purchase and sale agreement by August 29. Since the Debtor was unable to do so, it withdrew the bid procedures motion with the view toward refiling a similar motion if and when it had agreement with a stalking horse bidder.

The trial for the pending case of Alan Eugene Humphrey and Wyoming GTL, LLC, v. Escalera Resources Co., United States District Court for the District of Colorado Case No. 15-cv-00769 was held during the week of August 7th, 2017.  In this case, the Debtor sought reimbursement of $1,352,000 from the Plaintiffs for advances made during 2014 and 2015 under a letter agreement with the Plaintiffs dated May 30, 2014.  The jury awarded the Debtor $676,000, or half of the amount being sought. Additionally, the jury awarded Alan Eugene Humphrey the option to rescind the $500,000 of the Debtor’s common stock he purchased in 2014. The Debtor is currently awaiting entry of judgement and will then evaluate how it would like to proceed with this matter.
