Energy is a Wyoming corporation organized in 1966. We are an independent energy company focused on the acquisition and development
of oil and gas producing properties and other mineral properties in the continental United States. Our oil and gas business is
currently focused in South Texas and the Williston Basin in North Dakota. Our principal offices are located at 950 S. Cherry Street,
Suite 1515, Denver, Colorado 80246. Our telephone number is 303-993-3200.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">We
have historically explored for and produced oil and gas through a non-operator business model. As a non-operator, we rely on our
operating partners to propose, permit, drill, complete and produce oil and gas wells. Before a well is drilled, the operator provides
all oil and gas interest owners in the designated well the opportunity to participate in the drilling and completion costs and
revenues of the well on a pro-rata basis. Our operating partners also produce, transport, market and account for all oil and gas
production.</FONT></P>

believe that additional value can be generated if we have the ability to operate oil and gas properties because operatorship will
allow us to control drilling and production timing, capital costs and future planning of operations. We plan to look for opportunities
to operate our own wells in the future through acquisition of new oil and gas properties and/or by consolidating ownership in
and around the areas in which we currently participate. We believe the current price climate will make opportunities available
for us to acquire and/or develop operated properties, and our objective is to eventually operate the properties which comprise
the majority of our production.</FONT></P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue</FONT></P>
