NDR Energy has broken new sales records in terms of gas volume for the months of April and June this year alone. We anticipate continued sales increases throughout the rest of this year. We are very confident about our long-term plans for the future, not only for increased sales of natural gas, but our aggressive marketing efforts for significant sales of wholesale electricity, solar energy, international coal sales, petroleum and more strategic acquisitions. We believe this will bring greater value to our shareholders."
