Management Comments

Ronnie L. Steinocher, President and CEO, said, "In the 4Q of 2013 we revamped our business initiatives, expanding both the size and geographical scope of our targeted producing property acquisitions. This was in response to work completed last year, access to capital markets, and our strong desire to find and acquire producing properties that should have a material, positive impact on shareholder value. This revamped plan can be viewed at our website. We are well along our new path and are working to make meaningful progress soon."

Mr. Steinocher added, "In addition, we recently took advantage of a synergisitc opportunity to participate in the Bakken Shale oil play ("The Bakken"). Baron Bakken I, LLC ("Baron Bakken") was formed in the 4Q of 2013 in order to do so. We plan to expand our interest in the Bakken this year. Baron Energy, Inc. is the managing member of Baron Bakken."
