ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On October 12, 2004, our operating subsidiary, Daugherty Petroleum,
Inc., completed its acquisition of substantially all the oil and gas assets of
Stone Mountain Energy Company, L.C. ("SME") located in Bell, Harlan, and Leslie
Counties, Kentucky, and Lee County, Virginia. The acquisition is described in a
press release included as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by
reference.

         The purchase price for the acquired assets (the "Acquired Business")
was $27 million. Funding was provided from working capital, borrowings of $15
million under our secured credit facility and part of the proceeds from our
institutional private placement of 7% convertible notes earlier this month. We
will account for the SME asset acquisition under the purchase method. The
purchase price will be allocated among the acquired assets as of the closing
date.
