With the exception of loans from George Shaw, the Company's President, all of the Company's loans are past due and in default. Mr. Shaw, who was owed $586,184 by the Company as of July 31, 2003, has advised the Company that he will not seek the repayment of his loans prior to December 31, 2003" I see there was a private placement of 2 million shares and 2 million warrants in exchange for $300 grand.. " Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share if exercised during the first year or at a price of $0.30 per share if exercised during the second year." Looks like alot of overhang, with the possibility of a lot more to come in exchange for the defaulted debt. After drilling I noticed immediate well stimulation Was being performed on the 5 wells. Is this common to the area? Do the wells have short life spans? TIA. DD PS: I see the acq. of properties and wells done in August will also result in a bunch of dilution "The properties were acquired from three private corporations for $3,000,000 in convertible notes. The notes bear interest at 8.5% per year and are due in August 2023. At any time prior to August 1, 2023 all or any part of the unpaid principal or interest may be converted into shares of the Company's common stock on the basis of one share of common stock for every dollar of note principal or interest converted."
