Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 6, 2011, our subsidiary, Regent Natural Resources Co. ("RNRC"), com-
pleted the acquisition of a 50% net profits interest ("NPI") under a Purchase
and Sale Agreement dated December 30, 2010 for the consideration of $91,750. The
effective date is December 1, 2010. The NPI covers leaseholds that are operated
by Signature Investor Group, LC dba SIG Partners, LC ("SIG"), a related party of
the CEO of the Company. RNRC acquired the NPI with the payment of $10,000 and
the execution of a promissory note for the balance of the price of the NPI. The
note bears interest at 7% per annum with monthly payments of $3,400 beginning
February, 2011. The cash utilized for the acquisition was generated through
the sale of 3,300 shares of stock held for investment by RNRC. The stock was
sold to the spouse of the CEO for $12 per share during December, 2010.
A net profits interest is created when the owner of a working interest in a pro-
perty enters into an arrangement providing that the net profits interest owner
will receive a stated percentage of the net profit from the property. RNRC, as
the net profits interest owner, will not participate in additional costs and
expenses of the property. RNRC is not liable for asset retirement costs except
to the extent of its future cash flow. The NPI covers production from certain
oil and gas leases and one producing well in the Woodbine formation located in
Hill County, Texas. The acquisition of the NPI will provide RNRC's initial reve-
nue from oil and gas production. RNRC anticipates additional acquisitions of oil
and gas assets and expects to begin operations of properties in 2011.
