Management Comments

Mr. Donald L. Kirkendall, President of Petro Resources said: "While 2008 certainly ended on a low note for the oil and gas industry, the Company can point to successes in a number of areas for the year." Mr. Kirkendall continued: "The Cinco Terry Prospect area showed significant reserve gains while the Company continued expanding operations into Louisiana and East Texas. In addition, our hedging program has proven to be of significant value as we have watched the price of oil drop to three year lows."
