Production costs during the 2007 fiscal year increased from $30.11 a barrel during the 2006 fiscal year to $144.79 a barrel for our Texas properties.

Prior to the Asset Sale, we realized proceeds from the sale of oil and gas derived from our properties in New Mexico. During the 2007 fiscal year, the sale price of oil produced by our properties in New Mexico increased by $0.01 a barrel, to $44.73 a barrel, from $44.72 a barrel during the 2006 fiscal year. Production costs during the 2007 fiscal year increased from $8.53 a barrel during the 2006 fiscal year to $42.96 a barrel for our New Mexico properties.

The significant operating expenses reported for the 2006 fiscal year resulted from the inclusion of $23,199,110 in impairment of our oil and gas properties, which was not taken in 2007. The impairment was taken in conjunction with the re-evaluation of our reserves. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $22,464, or approximately 2%, from $1,339,920 in the 2006 fiscal year to $1,317,456 in the 2007 fiscal year.

Interest expense was $456,683 in the 2007 fiscal year, as compared to $221,445 in the 2006 fiscal year. The increase during the 2007 fiscal year was due primarily to the increase in the amount of money loaned to us by Lothian for development of our properties. 2007 fiscal year operating expenses include a $6,125,233 loss on the sale of oil and gas assets.
