Phillip Roberson, President and CFO, said, “It was a very challenging quarter as we experienced a decline of more than one half in commodity pricing on a barrel of oil equivalent basis compared to the same quarter last year.  We were encouraged that prices were beginning to recover at the end of the quarter. That trend appears to be continuing and we have recently been able to obtain an acceptable hedge on some of our production through the end of the year. More on that hedge is discussed below.”

Mr. Roberson concluded with, “We will continue to focus on controlling costs, conserving cash, and maximizing production under these economic constraints.

Current market conditions are producing many attractive opportunities, but our first consideration is in avoiding additional risk or debt.”
