COMPANY’S QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

OVERVIEW

We have pleasure presenting a summary of the Company’s activities during the second quarter of 2012. The period continued to be a challenging environment, however the Board, management, and staff continued to make considerable progress towards laying the foundation for a strong and sustainable future for the Company.

PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

During the quarter the Dunn-McCampbell A4 well on Padre Island and three of the Sullivan City wells continued to flow a modest amount of 4,276Mcf of gas, generating revenue of some $7,637 for the Company. It should be noted that the gas production was decreased during the quarter due to access issues including bush fires on the island. Further, although gas prices have recovered some ground over this quarter they are still at very low levels, which is adversely affecting Company revenues.

ASSET REVIEW

As previously announced the Company has commenced the process to reacquire some of the lapsed leases on Padre Island by lodging application forms with the Texas General Land Office (“GLO”) to start the process of reacquiring the leases, by nominating for South Sprint 1, 2 and 3 leases in advance of the October 2012 lease auctions.

Subject to the Company being successful in reacquiring these leases then evaluation on the most appropriate action to move these assets and the other Padre Island assets forward can be completed.

Despite the current limited flow of hydrocarbons, the Company is still actively accessing options to add value to the Padre Island assets including assessing the viability of trying to re-establish at least a portion of the previously announced (October 2010) resource estimates and to evaluate with current joint venture partners, options to increase the production from the Padre Island properties to the Exxon pipeline.

The Company has now identified a number of additional sources for seismic and other technical data for Padre Island and is in the process of acquiring and reviewing this data with the intention of using this new information to assist in the process identified above.

Additionally, the Company is looking at ways to increase the carrying value of the substantial infrastructure that Sprint owns on Padre Island. The Company is encouraged by the current options available to add value to the Padre Island assets.

Subject to ongoing success and the completion of the reviews, the Board is hopeful that with a reasonable minimal spend (final costs yet to be determined), the Company could see an increase in production, asset value and revenue in the not too distant future.

The Company also continues to assess various other opportunities in jurisdictions outside of North America and the Company will provide an update to the market on future developments, as it progresses.

DEBT CONVERSIONS

Loans payable to Stratos Resources Limited and Leopard Resources NL

SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION AND DEBT REDUCTION
