(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the

|X| Yes |_| No
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
|X| Yes |_| No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company anticipates reporting total revenue of approximately
$365,000, total expenses of approximately $800,000, and a net loss of
approximately $435,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This
compares to total revenue of $24,000, total expenses of $361,000 and a net loss
of $337,000 for the period from September 23, 2003 (inception) to December 31,
2004. The principal reason for these changes is our costs of being a public
company more than offset the higher net income from operations we experienced
from increased petroleum production and prices.
