     Wright & Company, Inc. has performed an evaluation to estimate proved
reserves and cash flow from certain oil and gas properties to the subject
interests. This evaluation was authorized by Mr. William A. Siskovic of Everflow

the evaluated interests were based on economic parameters and operating
conditions considered applicable as of December 31, 2000, and on projected

evaluation includes various economic and/or technical considerations which are
outside the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for
disclosing reserves and cash flow in Form 10-K or other SEC filings. The
