Business Description
The company is an independent oil and gas development and production company focusing primarily on developmental drilling and production of natural gas reserves in the Appalachian Basin and elsewhere in the mid-continent region of the United States. The company historically has developed oil and gas properties primarily by drilling natural gas wells in joint ventures with Tennessee limited partnerships for which the company serves as managing general partner. These Affliated Drilling Partnerships were syndicated by the company's affiliate, Equity Financial Corporation, an NASD-member broker-dealer, and capitalized with investor funds raised in various private offerings. The company also operates an approximately 60-mile gas gathering system servicing its primary areas of operation in southeastern Ohio. The Gas Gathering System is owned by a Tennessee limited partnership which is comprised of the company, as a managing general partner owning a 28.74% general partner interest, and a single limited partner which is another Tennessee limited partnership for which the company also serves as managing general partner.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for general corporate purposes.
