Chief Executive Officer of Empire, commented, <FONT STYLE="color: #212529">&ldquo;The second quarter was a record period for Empire.
We reported revenue of $16.5 million, three-times higher than last year, driven by increased production from Empire&rsquo;s assets including
the recent acquisition of North Dakota properties that we completed during the second quarter.&nbsp; Continued high commodity prices
coupled with optimization of marketing contracts contributed to higher operating nets as well.&nbsp; We also launched our Starbuck Field
enhancement program, a $10 million capital investment with targeted multiple increases in production and reserves that we expect to complete
by year-end.&quot;&nbsp;</FONT></FONT></P>

Morrisett, President of Empire, added, &ldquo;In June, Empire&rsquo;s common stock was added to the Russell 3000&reg; and Russell 2000&reg;
Indexes, reflecting the increased liquidity and significant growth of our market valuation since we uplisted to the NYSE American last
quarter. We also continued to strengthen our balance sheet with the nearly $3 million we received from the conversion of all legacy warrants.
Empire continues to have strong resources, including over $12 million in cash and a low debt level, to continue to execute its strategic
plans that are focused on organic growth and the addition of incremental long-life and low-decline reserves that generate strong cash
flow.&rdquo;</FONT></P>
