|   | (1) | Estimates are made of quantities of proved reserves and the future periods during which they are expected to be produced based on year-end economic conditions. |
|--------|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|   | (2) | The estimated future production of proved reserves is priced on the basis of year-end prices.                                                                   |
|   | (3) | The resulting future gross revenue streams are reduced by estimated future costs to develop and to produce proved reserves, based on year end cost estimates.   |
|   | (4) | The resulting future net revenue streams are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent discount.                                               |

| (1)   | This column represents the Dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2010 fiscal year for the fair value of stock granted in 2010.  Fair value is initially calculated using the closing price of our stock on the date of grant.  In 2010, each Director was granted 5,000 shares of common stock on January 4, 2010, for services rendered in 2009 and 5,000 shares of common stock on June 22, 2010, for services rendered in 2010.  The values of the stock granted to each director on those dates were $14,050, based on a closing market price of $2.81 per share on October 20, 2009, for the stock granted on January 4, 2010, and $5,250 based on the closing market price of $1.05 per share on June 22, 2010, for the stock granted that same day. |
