Note 7 - Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Industries Disclosures

Note 7 - Supplemental Financial Data - Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited). The Company's operations are confined to the continental United States, and all of the Company's reserves are proved developed. Oil prices used are the average of the NYMEX settlement price for the spot month on the first day of each month of 2012, corrected to received price using a price differential. Income tax expense is not reflected in the tables below because of the anticipated utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and depletion carryforwards. The estimation of reserves is complex and subjective, and reserve estimates tend to fluctuate in light of new production data.
