The results of Chaparrals reserve study of the minor properties comprising the remaining 25 percent of Chaparrals net proved reserves (as estimated by Chaparral) are presented below. The results were adjusted by applying a scaling factor derived from the ratio of CG&As independent estimated reserves and economics for the major properties versus Chaparrals reserves and economics from their analysis of the major properties.

Presentation
The accompanying tabulations present the results of our evaluation. The report is divided into two main sections: Major Properties and Minor Properties. The Major Properties section is further divided into five reserve sections: Total Proved, Proved Developed Producing (PDP), Proved Developed Non-Producing Shut In (PDNP-SI), Proved Developed Non-Producing Behind Pipe (PDNP-BP) and Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves. Within each reserve category section is a Table I and Table II. The Table I presents composite reserve estimates and economic forecasts for the particular reserve category. Following each Table I is a Table II oneline summary that presents estimates of ultimate recovery, gross and net reserves, ownership, net revenue, taxes, expenses, investments, net income, and discounted cash flow for the individual properties that make up the corresponding Table I. In the PDP section, the Table II is followed by sequentially numbered tables that represent the tabular details of reserves and economics for each property listed in Table II. The Minor Properties section consists of summary tables for PDP, PDNP-SI, PDNP-BP and PUD. For a more detailed explanation of the report layout please refer to the Table of Contents following this letter. The data presented in the individual tables are explained in page 1 of the Appendix. The methods employed in estimating reserves are described in page 2 of the Appendix.
Hydrocarbon Pricing
As requested, adjustments were applied to the Chaparral furnished initial oil and gas prices of $61.18 per bbl and $3.87 per MMBtu, respectively as quoted on December 31, 2009. Prices were not escalated. Oil and gas price differentials were forecast on a per property basis. Gas price differentials include adjustments for heating value, gas shrinkage, transportation and basis differential.
Expenses and Taxes
Lease operating costs and investments were forecast on a per property basis as furnished by your office and were not escalated. Per well operating expenditures were applied against a projected well-count as provided by your office. Severance tax values were applied at normal state percentages of oil and gas revenue. Ad Valorem tax rates were forecast as provided by your office.
Miscellaneous
An on-site field inspection of the properties has not been performed nor has the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and their related facilities been examined, nor have the wells been tested by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. Possible environmental liability related to the properties has not been investigated nor considered.
The proved reserve classifications used herein conform to the criteria of the Securities and Exchange Commission as defined in pages 3-4 of the Appendix. The reserves and economics are predicated on regulatory agency classifications, rules, policies, laws, taxes and royalties in effect on the effective date, except as noted herein. The possible effects of changes in legislation or other Federal or State restrictive actions have not been considered. All reserve estimates represent our best judgment based on data available at the time of preparation, and assumptions as to future economic and regulatory conditions. It should be realized that the reserves actually recovered, the revenue derived therefrom and the actual cost incurred could be more or less than the estimated amounts.
The reserve estimates and forecasts were based upon interpretations of data furnished by your office and available from our files. Production data, ownership information, price differentials, expenses, projected well count, investments and tax rates were furnished by your office and were accepted as furnished. To some extent, information from public records was used to check and/or supplement these data. The basic engineering and geological data were utilized subject to third party reservations and qualifications. Nothing has come to our attention, however, that would cause us to believe that we are not justified in relying on such data.
