You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2010.
2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take common stock equivalents (such as options and warrants) into consideration. The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the three or six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.
3. Income Taxes
For the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, the tax provision is approximately 36% of book income before tax which approximates the statutory federal and state rates.

7. Long-Term Debt
Effective June 15, 2011, the borrowing base under our line of credit was decreased from $10,500,000 to $9,250,000.
8. Sale of Property
We sold our Whistler property during the first quarter 2011 for approximately $68,000, which resulted in a loss on the sale of $10,670.
9. Commodity Derivatives
In June 2011, we entered into the following commodity derivatives positions to hedge our oil production price risk. These positions were outstanding at June 30, 2011:
                                 
Period   Volume (Barrels)     $/Barrel  
    Daily     Total     Floor     Ceiling

Commodity derivatives
  Other Income (Expense)   $ 68,000     $     $ 68,000     $  
Unrealized gains and losses, at fair value, are included on our consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the anticipated timing of cash settlements under the related contracts. Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts are recorded in earnings as they occur and included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations. We estimate the fair values of collar contracts based on the present value of the difference in exchange-quoted forward price curves and contractual settlement prices multiplied by notional quantities. We internally valued the option contracts using industry-standard option pricing models and observable market inputs. We use our internal valuations to determine the fair values of the contracts that are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses are also included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on our commodity derivatives positions and have considered the exposure in our internal valuations. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties over the term of the commodity derivatives positions.
To estimate the fair value of our commodity derivatives positions, we use market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and attempt to use the best available information. We determine the fair value based upon the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. At June 30, 2011, we had no Level 1 measurements
    Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Our derivatives, which consist of commodity collars, are valued using commodity market data which is derived by combining raw inputs and quantitative models and processes to generate forward curves. Where observable inputs are available, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. At June 30, 2011, all of our commodity derivatives were valued using Level 2 measurements.
    Level 3 — Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At June 30, 2011, we had no Level 3 measurements.

Average natural gas sales prices decreased 25% to $5.04 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.73 for the period ended June 30, 2010. Sales volumes decreased 13% on a BOE basis, primarily due to natural declines and downtime on wells waiting on repair. The overall higher commodity prices account for approximately $360,000 of the increase in revenues but was offset by lower sales volumes of approximately $207,000. We anticipate volumes to remain stable in the coming quarters as additional remedial work is completed.
Lease operating expenses increased 18% or $100,898 to $649,139 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. This was primarily due to increases in workover expense and remedial repairs in 2011 as compared to 2010. The decreased volumes account for approximately $73,000 of decrease in lease operating expenses. Lifting costs per BOE increased 37% or $7.71 to $28.73 for the period. We anticipate lease operating expenses to increase over the following quarters due to additional remedial repairs and workover expenses.

Depletion and depreciation decreased 9% or $26,000 to $248,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 versus $274,000 in the 2010 comparable period. This was primarily due to lower production during the quarter ended June, 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.
General and administrative overhead cost decreased 14% or $35,815 to $213,279 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 from the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in legal, consulting and administration services during the 2011 period. At this time, the Company anticipates general and administrative expenses to increase in the coming quarters.
Other expenses, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were $145,402 compared to $58,972 for 2010. The net increase was primarily due to a $68,000 unrealized loss on commodity derivatives and a $10,670 loss on the sale of oil and natural gas properties during the 2011 period.

Oil and natural gas sales revenues increased 1% or $43,935 to $3,575,958 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 from $3,532,023 for the comparable 2010 period. This was due primarily to the overall increase in oil and natural gas commodity pricing offset by a decline in production. Sales volumes decreased 19% on a BOE basis primarily due to downtime on wells waiting for repairs and to natural declines. Average oil sales prices increased 28% to $96.58 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $75.59 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Average natural gas sales prices decreased 19% to $5.28 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.49 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The higher commodity prices accounted for an increase of approximately $646,000 in revenue but were offset by approximately $602,000 as a result of lower sales volumes. We anticipate volumes to remain stable in the coming quarters as additional remedial work is completed.

Lease operating expenses increased 16% or $171,091 to $1,219,827 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. This was primarily due to the increase in additional repairs and workover expenses on properties in 2011. Lifting cost per BOE increased 43%, from $19.68 to $28.23 for the period. We anticipate lease operating expense to increase over the following quarters due to additional remedial repairs and workover expenses.
Depletion and depreciation expense decreased 13% to $491,000, compared to $565,000 for the comparable 2009 period. This was primarily due to lower production during the 2011 period.
General and administrative overhead cost decreased 3% or $16,390 to $464,924 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 from the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This was attributable primarily to a decrease in administrative services such as contract labor and administrative services. In the coming quarters we anticipate general and administrative expenses to increase.
Other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2011, amounted to $204,413 compared to other expenses, net of $121,251 for the comparable 2010 period. The net increase was primarily due to a $68,000 unrealized loss on commodity derivatives and a $10,670 loss on the sale of oil and natural gas properties during the 2011 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,754,054 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1,904,713 of cash flow provided by operating activities in the comparable 2010 period. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in net income and changes in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $169,042 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and $376,468 used in the comparable period due to the additions to oil and natural gas properties in each period.
Cash flow used in financing activities was used to repurchase 80,000 shares of common stock for a total of $323,373 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Cash flow used in financing activities for the period ending June 30, 2010 was used to repurchase 200,000 shares of common stock for a total of $514,071.
We may continue to raise financing through draws from our line of credit. Effective June 15, 2011, the borrowing base under our line of credit with Citibank, N.A. was decreased to $9.25 million from $10.5 million. We anticipate our operating cash flow and other capital resources, including our Citibank revolving credit facility, if needed, will adequately fund planned capital expenditures and other capital uses over the near term. Based on industry outlook for the remainder of 2011, prices for oil and natural gas could remain higher than the prior year.
PART I
Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We periodically enter into certain commodity price risk management transactions to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price volatility. These transactions may take the form of futures contracts, swaps or options. All data relating to our derivative positions is presented in accordance with authoritative guidance. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of derivative contracts that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income or loss and such amounts are reclassified to oil and natural gas sales revenues as the associated production occurs. Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as derivative assets and liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations. While such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, management believes these contracts can be utilized as an effective component of commodity price risk management activities. At June 30, 2011, we had collars with a floor of $85.00 and a ceiling of $102.50 for 200 barrels of oil per day from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2010, there were no open positions. We have an unrealized loss of $68,000 on commodity derivative transactions during the three-month or six-month periods ending June 30, 2011. There were no derivative transactions in 2010.

PART I
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
    The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Ray Reaves, has established and is currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
    The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and we refer you to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).
 
b)   Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
    There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

c)   Limitations of Any Internal Control Design
 
    Our principal executive and financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
