The following unaudited reserve estimates presented as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were prepared by independent petroleum engineers.  There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating proved reserve quantities and in projecting future production rates and the timing of development expenditures.  In addition, reserve estimates of new discoveries that have little production history are more imprecise than those of properties with more production history.  Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

 

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions; i.e., process and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

 

Unaudited net quantities of proved developed reserves of crude oil and natural gas (all located within United States) are as follows:

 

    Crude Oil     Natural Gas  
Changes in proved reserves   (Bbls)     (MCF)  
Estimated quantity, December 31, 2011     48,950       156,630  
Revisions of previous estimate     29,376       24,209  
Discoveries     -       -  
Reserves sold to third party     -       -  
Production     (4,424 )     (25,399 )
Estimated quantity, December 31, 2012     73,902       155,440  
Revisions of previous estimate     (48,417)       (62,811)  
Discoveries     -       -  
Reserves sold to third party      (18,110)       (31,690)  
Production     (3,445 )     (34,939 )
Estimated quantity, December 31, 2013     3,930       26,000

UNAUDITED STANDARIZED MEASURE

 

The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by ASC 932-235 Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas Notes to the Financial Statements and based on crude oil and natural gas reserves and production volumes estimated by the Company. It may be useful for certain comparison purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative or realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.

 

Future cash inflows were computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves. The future production and development costs represent the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pre-tax net cash flows relating to our proved oil and gas reserves and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties and available net operating loss carry forwards. Discounting the future net cash inflows at 10% is a method to measure the impact of the time value of money

 

    December 31, 2013     December 31, 2012  
                 
Future Cash inflows   $ 463,521     $ 7,872,934  
Future production costs     (96,529 )     (1,529,471 )
Future development costs     -       (858,700 )
Future income tax expense     -         -
Future cash flows     366,992       5,484,763  
10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows     (30,485)       (1,651,029 )
Standardized measure of discounted future net cash   $ 336,507     $ 3,833,734  

 

The following presents the principal sources of the changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.
