2.4 Section 1.2 - Company Background
The following words should be inserted after the third paragraph of Section 1.2:
"This translates to an asset backing per share, after the Rights Issue, in excess of 17 cents. This calculation takes into account all liabilities and is due to the continued development of the Company’s proven reserves and the acquisition of additional interest in its cornerstone project, Mother Lode I (discussed below).
The report is further enhanced by the Company's latest gross revenues for May which were a record $660,000. Furthermore, despite several shut-ins during workovers, revenues for June exceeded $550,000 bringing unaudited revenues for the quarter up to $1,559,742- an increase of 95% on the previous quarter. Production from two wells completed in May has yet to be connected (see below).
The following words should be inserted after the current fourth paragraph of Section 1.2 (after the words "...by approximately US120,000"):

"As previously announced, the Company is well advanced in its summer 2008 workover program, which is designed to offset the natural decline of producing assets and to bring on additional reserves at both of its Palo Pinto County Projects.
Advance Energy’s Operations Manager, Hibernia Resources LLC, advises that it expects the connection of the Williams 9-1 and Thomas 9-2 in the next 30 days. These wells were completed in May 2000 but an acute shortage of steel pipe and recent upgrades at the gas treatment facility has delayed this connection. Hibernia advises that it expects these two wells to add net production of approximately 26MCFPD and 13BOPD. Based on current NYMEX energy prices ($127/barrel and $9.3/MMBTU[1] ), this would equate to additional annualised revenue of $707,000[2] .
Hibernia Resources also advises that the recently completed workover of Advance Energy’s Alexander-1 well (Net Revenue Interest 70.2%) increased gross production by 80MCFPD (56MCFPD Net to Advance Energy). This equates to $226,000 in additional annualised revenue to Advance Energy.
Advance Energy will drill six additional wells before the end of 2008 including its first in the recently acquired Mother Lode III project. The majority of these wells are low risk step-out wells where production can be predicted with some level of confidence.
Advance Energy is expecting to receive term sheets from various parties for the sale of its Lone Camp project. The Directors anticipate closure (settlement) of the sale by late September 2008. The Lone Camp project has been one of Advance Energy’s most successful investments as operational cashflows have exceeded the acquisition and development costs over the past 30 months. Consequently, the sale proceeds will confirm the success of Advance Energy’s business model of acquiring producing properties, adding value through workovers and divestment on achieving payback.
As announced on 31 March 2008, the Sterling Bank facility has been extended from US$20,000,000 to US$40,000,000 and the interest rate has been reduced to Prime +1.0% (i.e. 6.0%) indicating the level of support from our US financiers. This facility is currently only drawn down to approximately US$6,000,000."
