Table of Contents
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 and unrealized
gains and losses are also included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of
operations.
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 September 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 September 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 managements best estimate of fair value. At September 30, 2011, we had no
Level 3 measurements. |
9. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to September 30, 2011, we repurchased in market transactions a total of 14,000
shares of common stock totalling approximately $35,168.

Table of Contents
Oil and natural gas sales revenue increased 4% or $64,518 to $1,707,210 for the three month period
ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. This was due to higher oil and natural
gas commodity prices. Average oil sales prices increased 10% to $86.41 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2011 compared to $78.40 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.
Average natural gas sales prices increased 19% to $4.39 for the three-month period ended September
30, 2011 compared to $3.69 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. The higher
commodity prices accounted for approximately $173,000 of the increase in revenue but were offset by
approximately $108,000 due to slightly lower sales volumes on a BOE basis in the three-month period
ending September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. We anticipate volumes to remain
stable in the coming quarters as additional remedial work is completed.
Lease operating expenses decreased 5% or $33,101 to $684,391 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. This was primarily due to lower workover
expense and remedial repairs in 2011 as compared to 2010. Lifting cost per BOE decreased by 4% or
$1.17 to $26.75 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 increased 11% or $32,500 to $302,500 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2011 versus $270,000 in the 2010 comparable period. This was due to increases in
production primarily from the Bilbrey well which was previously down for repairs.
General and administrative overhead cost increased 1% or $2,279 to $209,556 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2011 from the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. This was
primarily attributable to an increase in professional services such as consulting and
administration services. At this time due to the growth of the Company, we anticipate general and
administrative expenses to increase in the coming quarters.
Other income, net for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, was $105,204 compared to other
expenses, net of $62,888 for 2010. During the 2011 period, the net increase was primarily due to
an unrealized gain of $164,000 on commodity derivatives. We anticipate oil prices to trade in the
range of our collar during the fourth quarter of 2011, and thus anticipate the unrealized gain
recognized in the third quarter of 2011 will reverse in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Oil and natural gas sales revenues increased 2% or $108,454 to $5,283,169 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2011 from $5,174,715 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 13% on a BOE basis, primarily due to downtime on wells waiting for repairs
and to natural declines. Average oil sales prices increased 22% to $93.16 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2011 compared to $76.51 for the nine month period ended September 30,
2010. Average natural gas sales prices decreased 13% to $4.85 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011 compared to $5.57 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The
overall higher commodity prices accounted for an increase of approximately $776,000 in revenue but
were offset by approximately $667,000 as a result of lower sales volumes. We anticipate volumes to
remain stable in the coming quarters as additional remedial work is complete.
Lease operating expenses increased 8% or $137,990 to $1,904,218 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. This was primarily due to the increase in
additional repairs, workover expenses and production expenses on properties in 2011. Lifting cost
per BOE increased 24% or $5.32 to $27.68 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 5% to $793,500, compared to $835,000 for the
comparable 2010 period. This was primarily due to lower production in the 2011 period.

General and administrative overhead cost decreased 2% or $14,111 to $674,480 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2011 from the comparable 2010 period. 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 expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $99,209 compared to other
expense, net of $184,139 for the comparable 2010 period. The decrease in other expense, net was
primarily due to the unrealized gain on derivatives of $164,000 during 2011. We anticipate oil
prices to trade in the range of our collar during the fourth quarter of 2011, and thus anticipate
the unrealized gain recognized in the third quarter of 2011 will reverse in the fourth quarter of
2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,444,817 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011, as compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $2,226,946 in
the comparable 2010 period. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily
due to changes in current assets and liabilities in 2011.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $421,646 for the nine month period ended September 30,
2011 as compared to $393,218 in the comparable period primarily due to the additions to oil and
natural gas properties and equipment 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. Cash flow was used in
financing activities to repurchase 235,800 common shares with an aggregate cost of $623,315 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
We may continue to raise financing through draws from our line of credit. Effective October 17,
2011, the borrowing base under our line of credit with Citibank, N.A. was decreased to $8.5
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.

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 requirements of FASB ASC Topic No. 815. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses
related to the change in fair market 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 market 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 September 30, 2011, there were no open positions. We have an unrealized gain of $232,000 and
$164,000 on commodity derivative transactions during the three-month and nine-month periods ending
September 30, 2011 respectively. We did not have any derivative transactions in 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
|
The Companys 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 Companys 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
Companys 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 have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the three or nine months ended September 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. |
