the Company's focus has progressed into Four definitive projects of:
2.   CREEnergy Project, Alberta -- exploration and development opportunities within the

During the third quarter of 2009, Cougar Energy, Inc., the Company's majority-controlled Canadian subsidiary, completed the following transactions:

Acquisitions On September 30, 2009 and October 1, 2009, acquired from an unrelated private company certain wells, facilities and producing operations in and adjacent to the CREEnergy project in Alberta, Canada. The acquisition included 11 producing wells, 21 suspended wells and associated production, water disposal, production facilities and pipelines in the Trout field

Private Company Production and Property Acquisition (completed October 1, 2009)
2.   100% working interest in the Crossfield property -- 1 producing well with single well
battery with approximately 5 barrels per day (bbl/d) net production -- production
continues to be stable with no capital commitment required.
3.   55% working interest in the Alexander property -- 1 shut in oil well with a single well
battery, 1 suspended well. Expected production of approximately 10 bbl/d net production
upon restarting shut in oil well after spring break up.
In August, 2009, it was determined that Cougar's working interest partner in the Lucy, B.C. project was unable to complete the financing as required in the farm-out agreement and as a result, in October after due diligence and environmental reviews, Cougar has accepted the transfer of the partner's Alexander and Crossfield, Alberta properties as a penalty payment. The properties received are valued at approximately $500,000 CAD (NPV 10% escalated pricing). Cougar has assumed asset retirement obligations in connection with the properties estimated at $50,000 CAD. The properties have an estimated potential average production of 15 boe/d.
Production from the Company's new proved reserves commenced on October 1, 2009 and recognition of the associated revenue and cash flow began on that date.
