Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

“We have had recurring operating and net losses and cash used in operations, and the financial statements reflect a working capital deficiency of $12,927,831 and an accumulated deficit of $96,199,116. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will be from the sale of oil and gas in the course of normal operations, the sale of oil and gas property, sales of participation interests, and the possible issuance of debt and/or equity. Management has plans to continue to increase revenues by making commitments to participate with industry partners in drilling wells in the Permian basin and will also continue to drill and workover wells in our Texas Jameson field. Although there are no assurances, Management believes that expected increases in revenue together with reduced capital expenditures for drilling will improve the Company's liquidity position; however, these plans have not alleviated the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date these financial statements are issued.”
