The Company is also pleased to announce plans for the upcoming fall drilling program at its East Slopes Project in Kern County, California.  A drilling rig has been contracted and drilling should start by the end of October 2013.  The Company will drill the Bear #8, Bear #9 and Bear #10 development oil wells.  The Company is also in the final stages of upgrading its production facilities to handle the increased production from the previous spring drilling program, as well as new production from the oil wells to be drilled this fall.    

James F. Westmoreland, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report great progress in our Kentucky drilling program and look forward to continued successful results between now and the end of the  year.  Our California fall drilling program is slated to commence shortly; and, based upon our previous success at this location, we are optimistic that these new Bear development wells will be successful.  We expect the increase in our oil production from these two projects will enhance our cash flow and bring us to profitability.
