Background of Searex acquisition of D-Bar

On 13 December 2012:

  • Searex signed a Share Subscription Agreement ( SSA ) to acquire a 50% direct equity ownership in D-Bar Leasing Inc for a total of USD17.135 million payable in 6 monthly deferred consideration payments of USD2 million subject to production targets being achieved.; and

  • Searex, D-Bar Leasing Inc and Danny Hyde (Original Shareholder) also entered into a Shareholders Agreement regulating the business and operational affairs of the D-Bar Leasing Inc.

On 24 July 2013 Searex and Danny Hyde varied the terms of the SSA such that the consideration payable would be as follows:

Amount Date Due Details
USD3 million 31 September 2013
USD1 million into a joint operating escrow account
to be allocated for work-over program of which
USD500,000 is part payment under the SSA

USD2 million Payable to Danny Hyde as part
payment of the SSA.
USD1 million 1 January 2014
USD1 million into a joint operating escrow account
to be allocated for work-over program of which
USD500,000 is part payment under the SSA.
USD3 million 30 June 2014
USD1 million into a joint operating escrow account
to be allocated for work-over program of which
USD500,000 is part payment under the SSA

USD2 million payable to Danny Hyde as part
payment of the SSA.
USD2 million 1 January 2015
Payable to Danny Hyde as part payment of the SSA.
USD4 million 1 January 2016
Payable to Danny Hyde as part payment of the SSA.
USD5.635 million 1 January 2017
Payable to Danny Hyde as part payment of the SSA.

If in any event the last three payments are not paid on the due date, then they will automatically balloon out to the next due payment schedule. The full subscription price (USD17.135 million) is not paid out by 1 January 2017 all parties will mutually agree on the time of payment of final payout figure.

In acquiring the shares in D-Bar, RSL will take over responsibility from SEAREX for payment of the amounts set out in the SSA as set out above.

Project Location

The oil leases are located on the edge of the Llano Uplift in North Central Texas ( yellow patch on map ) .

The total combined land area of the existing leases is approximately 2,732 acres.

As recently as 14 July 2013 reports from the Abilene City Council indicate that Abilene is on track for its biggest year in history for oil drilling permits.

In 2013 the Abilene City Council has already approved nine new permits and with four more permits scheduled to be considered for approval.

Overview of current D-Bar Oil Leases (Current Leases)

D-Bar holds 8 oil producing leases which already have 96 wells located on them, as set out in the table below:

table below:
Lease Area No of Wells
Contract Area 1 (Adams, Isenhower) 494 acres 36
Alvey Estate 1,598 acres 33
M G Burnam 320 acres 5
James Boyett 200 acres 12
Kessler, Graham, Camp Barkeley 120 acres 10

D-Bar also has the right to take up further acres within the Alvey Estate. This additional area would allow D- Bar to further increase its production capabilities through the development and drilling program of a further 240 new wells which, based on internal projections, could result in 4000+ BOPD in late 2017.

Project service facilities

D-Bar Leasing owns 10 acres of freehold land and buildings just off Highway I-20 in Abeline, Texas, USA.

The buildings consist of 30,000 sq feet of service buildings valued at USD3.5m. Drilling plant and equipment, rig, spares, stores and consumables valued at USD3.5m (photo below).

==> picture [452 x 312] intentionally omitted <==

Work-over program

D-Bar has recently completed reworking 4 existing wells at an average cost of USD55,000 per well. Each re-worked well is in the 2800’-3000’ depth range and each well is currently producing 15 BOPD.

Reworks plan which has been established for the next 18 months includes pull tubing, replacing bottom hole pump, clean paraffins and sludge, re-perforate and fracking multiple producing horizons.

Resource Star Limited Level 9, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne Vic 3000 P. +61 3 9607 1322 F. +61 3 9607 1329 www.ResourceStar.com.au ABN 71 098 238 585

==> picture [71 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Rework of the 80 producing wells is estimated to cost a total of USD3 million based on 10 deep wells (USD55,000 each) and 70 shallow wells (USD35,000 each). Work-over costs also include amounts for extra storage tanks.

Current rework plan/schedule indicates that all re-work can be completed within 12 months if using existing single rig.

Corporate, strategic and financial benefits to RSL and its shareholders

The Board believes that the Acquisition is beneficial to all shareholders for the following key reasons:

  • Guaranteed buyer – under current state laws the Railroad Commission of Texas must acquire all oil produced at the spot price. This guaranteed buyer structure ensures that storage never reaches capacity for any length of time which would in turn stop or reduce production levels until sold. The process for collection, sale, and payment is well regulated, with payments being made on a monthly basis.

  • Viable and attractive industry sector – the energy sector in the USA is still an area of strong interest for investors as well as US and global businesses.

  • Asset location – Abilene is located in the heart of Texas, with easy access via rail, road and air. The area has a rich history of strong oil deposits. The USA is still the strongest economy in the world, has a strong and robust legal system, and the risk of political instability is minimal.

  • Strong fundamentals – Texas is a proven oil and gas jurisdiction with more than 80 years of continuous production. Moreover, Abilene has a rich history in oil production and has the necessary petroleum infrastructure and technical and operational expertise available.

  • Technical risks mitigated – new fracking/extraction, water flooding and gas injection techniques coupled with new technology allows for the extraction of oil by efficient and effective means.

  • Opportunities to expand – As noted earlier, D-Bar has the right to take up further acres of land within the Alvey Estate which offers significant opportunity to further develop oil production capabilities and generate greater revenue returns. Moreover, D-Bar will have the opportunity to acquire other significant lease areas in the region to expand its operations.

Capital Raising

RSL currently has minimal cash reserves but has a convertible note facility for $500,000. The Company is currently considering whether other options are available to raise short term funding in order to assist RSL with its working capital requirements as well as to complete the various stages leading up to completion of the Acquisition.

Resource Star Limited Level 9, 440 Collins Street, Melbourne Vic 3000 P. +61 3 9607 1322 F. +61 3 9607 1329 www.ResourceStar.com.au ABN 71 098 238 585

==> picture [71 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

In order to fund the activities of D-Bar Leasing moving forward after Completion, the Company will be seeking interests from sophisticated investors to raise a minimum of $5 million by way of high yield (11-13%) short term (2 year) debenture notes.

At this stage RSL does not propose that the debenture notes will include a conversion right but remain open to the concept of conversion if terms are acceptable (subject to relevant approvals).

RSL believes that the proposed works-program and subsequent revenues generated will be sufficient to pay back the debenture notes in accordance with their terms.

It is anticipated that all funds received will be applied towards the works program, working capital and administrative costs, and meeting the deferred consideration payments payable by Searex to Danny Hyde pursuant to the SSA (as outlined earlier).

Further details of the exact structure and timing of any form of capital raising will be released over the coming weeks and closer to the lodgement of any prospectus (if required).
