ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


     On June 20, 2003, we completed an acquisition of certain oil and gas
properties in Kansas from JAED Production Company, Inc. ("JAED") in exchange
for cash and stock.  The properties that were acquired from JAED consist of
interests in approximately 22 wells that are currently producing approximately
950 barrels of oil and 500 Mcf of gas per day and the associated undeveloped
acreage.  All of the properties are located in the Padgett Field in Sumner
County, Kansas.  The average working interest that we acquired is
approximately 97%, with an average net revenue interest to us of approximately
79%.  A copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is attached as an exhibit to
this Report.

     In connection with the purchase of these properties, we paid JAED
approximately $9 million in cash and issued JAED 200,000 shares of our Common
Stock.  The transaction was effective as of June 1, 2003, and the net
operating revenues from the properties between the effective date and the June
20, 2003 closing date will be recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price.


     Also on June 20, 2003, we increased the amount of our existing credit
facility with the Bank of Oklahoma and Local Oklahoma Bank from $20 million to
$29.3 million.  This increase was necessary to allow us to fund the JAED
transaction, and substantially all of the cash portion of the purchase price
was funded through our credit facility.  Our total debt now approximates $33.8
million including our debt to Kaiser-Francis, and all of the properties
acquired from JAED have been pledged as collateral for our credit facility.  A
copy of the First Amendment to Credit Agreement is attached as an exhibit to
this Report.


Reports, Opinions and Appraisals
- --------------------------------

     We did not engage an independent firm to render a fairness opinion in
connection with this transaction.  Management believed that an independent
fairness opinion was unnecessary because the assets acquired consist almost
entirely of oil and gas leases, and our Board believed that our management
possessed sufficient skills and experience to negotiate a fair price for the
assets that were ultimately acquired.  Our own petroleum engineers on staff
prepared an internal analysis of the properties before they were acquired, and
this analysis was used by us in negotiating the terms of the transaction and
in determining the amount of the purchase price.  Although we believe our
internal analysis is accurate, the process of estimating quantities of oil and
gas deposits is subject to continuous revisions as additional information is
made available through drilling, testing, reservoir studies and production
history.  There can be no assurance that our internal estimates will not be
materially revised in subsequent periods.



                                    -2-


Past Relationships
- ------------------

     JAED is a privately-held Kansas corporation that is owned by two
individuals who are not affiliated with us.  Prior to this transaction, we had
never had any business dealings with JAED or either of its owners.
