Exhibit 99.1
United States Oil and Gas Corp Highlights Growth Plan for 2011
AUSTIN, TX, March 7, 2011 -- United States Oil and Gas Corp, listed on the OTCQB (OTCQB: USOG), is pleased to update its shareholders about its recent accomplishment and growth plans for the near term. Chairman and CEO Alex Tawse commented, “I am extremely proud of our accomplishments to date, especially in light of the difficult economic environment in which we have operated. We have assembled a strong management and supportive investor group, and I look forward to bringing the Company to the next stage of growth and being part of USOG’s success for many years to come.”
During 2010, the Company accomplished two significant objectives. The first was the completion of its Registration Statement with the SEC on Form 10 and subsequent quoting on the OTCQB which is for fully reporting companies. Regularly filed quarterly financial reports and audits have enhanced communication with shareholders through added transparency. In the near future, the Company plans to move to a more senior national exchange like the NYSE for even greater recognition and capital raising opportunities.
Second was the renegotiation of debt owed for the acquisition of Turnbull Oil. This extended the maturity of the promissory note by an additional two years. The new term reflects our excellent working relationship with Mr. Turnbull and provides added flexibility to eliminate our capital obligations over time. We have in place a manageable schedule of financing that allows the Company to accomplish its objectives without undue time constraints.
Other highlights include:
|
|
·
|
First full year of United Oil as a wholly owned subsidiary, as the acquisition became effective on January 1, 2010;
|
|
|
·
|
United States Patent Office approval of our eco-friendly fiber optic motion sensor technology for exploration and drilling in rugged environments to be possibly developed or licensed; and
|
|
|
·
|
An important contract for the supply of fuels to a private highway contractor. This may provide a foothold for future projects in what should be a trend in growing infrastructure spending.
|
Milestone Targets for 2011:
|
|
·
|
Consolidation on a tax basis of both of our subsidiaries in order to increase the bottom line;
|
|
|
·
|
Realization of internal growth opportunities and continued reduction in overhead expenses;
|
|
|
·
|
Identification of third acquisition target; and
|
|
|
·
|
Further significant reduction of debt.

Details of the Company's earnings and performance for 2010 will be provided within the Company's 10-K in the coming weeks. The Company is looking forward to building on its success and continuing to deliver value to its shareholders in 2011.
