VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - May 14, 2012) - Vanguard Energy Corporation (OTCQX:
VNGE) (OTCBB: VNGE), an oil development and production company, today announced
financial results for its Fiscal Year 2012 second quarter ended March 31, 2011
Revenue from oil and gas activities during the period was a record
$862,505. The Company had revenue of $397,915 in the prior year's second
quarter. Income from operations was $91,222 for the 2012 second quarter compared
with a loss in last year's second quarter of $(227,246). Total net income for
the period was $254,367 versus a loss of $(1,241,088) in last year's second
quarter. Earnings per share for the 2012 first quarter were $0.02 (based on
12,798,420 weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter). By
comparison, last year's second fiscal quarter showed a loss of $(0.18) per
share. Net cash from operating activities totaled $275,569 for the six months
ended March 31, 2012.
Vanguard's President and CEO, Warren M. Dillard, commented: "We're very
pleased with our net income during the 2012 fiscal second quarter. As we look
forward, we believe that our revenues will be materially enhanced by increased
oil production from our new drilling efforts."
Vanguard Energy recently completed drilling its seventh well in the Batson
Dome oil field, where it controls more than 500 strategically located acres in
Southeast Texas. Two additional wells are now in the early stage of drilling and
are expected to be on line before the end of the current quarter.
Mr. Dillard observed that the company's mission is to aggressively develop
the acreage it currently has under control, having up to 50 potential well
sites, and to actively seek additional lease opportunities within the Batson
Dome field as well as pursue new leasing opportunities in other historic fields
in the region.
Mr. Dillard commented further that as of March 31, 2011, the five completed
wells in the Batson Dome field were collectively producing approximately 122
barrels of oil per day. Total production during the second quarter was 10,518
barrels of oil. "We expect the next wells to perform well since they will be the
first whose locations were selected with the benefit of recently completed 3-D
seismic reports."
