announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Agua Grande Exploracao e Producao de
Petroleo Ltda. ("Agua Grande"), has been notified by the operator of block 166
in the Reconcavo Basin in Brazil ("Block 166") that due to the current dispute
over non-payment by Agua Grande of certain outstanding cash calls, the operator
of Block 166 plans to apply to the governmental and regulatory authorities to
assume the Company's 30% working interest in Block 166 pursuant to the terms of
the joint operating agreement entered into among the parties. The Company is
disputing the notice provided by the operator and plans to pursue all legal
remedies available. If unsuccessful, the Company could lose its interest in
Block 166. The loss of the Company's interest in Block 166 is also an event of

event of default the noteholder has the option to declare the principal of the
Promissory Note outstanding together with all interest accrued and unpaid
immediately due and payable.

directors of Brookwater. Mr. Moore takes the place vacated by Mr. Stan Bharti
who has resigned from the board to focus on other commitments. Brookwater

receive all of the benefits of such membership, including access to a world
class team of geologists and petroleum engineers, advice from Mr. Bharti and
other Forbes & Manhattan capital market professionals and strategic advice from
