The Company’s total estimated proved reserves at March 31, 2007 were approximately 6.905 Bcf of natural gas and 220,000 barrels of oil and natural gas liquids, and its estimated present value of proved reserves was approximately $26 million based on estimated future net revenues discounted at 10% per annum, pricing and other assumptions set forth in “Item 2 - Properties” of the Company’s Form 10-K. During fiscal 2007, the Company added proved reserves of 226,000 Mcfe through extensions and discoveries, added 397,000 Mcfe through acquisitions and had upward revisions of previous estimates of 248,000 Mcfe. This represents an approximate 20%increase in oil reserves and a 3% increase in gas reserves as compared to fiscal 2006.

During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company participated with working interests in 47 gross wells (.22 net wells) compared to 12 gross wells (.05 net wells) for the previous year. All of such wells were commercially productive excepting re-entry of a well in Roosevelt County, New Mexico.

For fiscal 2007, gas reserves constituted approximately 84% of the Company’s total proved reserves and approximately66% of the Company’s revenues.
