Jeffrey R. Bailey, CEO, said, "We have had modest operating income in the third quarter having seen a recovery in oil prices to about $60 per barrel in the third quarter from about $34 in January 2009. We plan to continue to rebuild revenues through the drill bit and workovers from our own cash flow while the oil price recovery continues. We believe the Company has weathered the storm of lower prices better than many other micro-cap oil and gas companies that have faced leverage issues and capital shortfalls. We expect to use the current higher prices to fund workovers and drill one more well late in the fourth quarter. Despite the lower oil prices than last year's levels, we have increased our gross oil sales in Kansas during the first nine months of 2009 to 175,948 barrels compared to 165,782 barrels during for the same period in 2008."
