Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On August 3, 2007, EESV Fayetteville, Inc. (“EESV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blaze Energy Corp. (“Blaze”), a majority controlled subsidiary of the Registrant, sold a portion of its working interest in the Fayetteville Shale field to a subsidiary of PetroHawk Energy Corporation (NYSE: HK).  The gross proceeds from the sale were $15,177,679.  In addition, EESV received a refund of 75% of unused drilling costs that had been placed on deposit to fund EESV’s share of drilling costs for two wells being drilled in the Fayetteville Shale field and by a credit of

$25,681.36 resulting from an acreage shortfall associated with certain acreage in the Fayetteville Shale field.  Finally, EESV used $250,000 of the proceeds to repurchase 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the Registrant held by One TEC, LLC for $0.01 per share.  

The Registrant elected to sell a portion of its working interest in the Fayetteville Shale field because it anticipated the amount of capital it would have to raise to fund its share of drilling costs in the field would be excessive.  By selling a portion of its interest in the field, the Registrant retains an interest in the field, yet now has the liquidity to finance its share of drilling costs in the future and exploit its other oil and gas interests.  In addition, the Registrant intends to use a portion of the proceeds to settle an overriding royalty interest that the Registrant granted in a portion of the Fayetteville Shale field in 2006, although the terms of the settlement have not be finally determined at this time.

SIGNATURES

In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
