DALLAS, Aug. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation (Nasdaq:GLRP), Dallas, Texas, reported its results for the first quarter ended which showed an increase in oil and gas revenue from $3,860 in the comparative quarter in 2007 to $15,209.
Lease Operating expenses continued to be high at $138,240, because of the fixed cost of developing an operating base. General Administrative expenses were $433,424, and the non-cash cost of incentive stock options was $99,477, resulting in a net loss for the quarter of $658,792, or $0.07 per share.
Chip Langston, President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "During the quarter we continued to simplify and clarify our financial position, which showed an increase in Shareholders' Equity from $3,116,495 to $3,127,180, a 0.34% increase as compared to March 31, 2008, while at the same time, we increased current liabilities by $301,850, or approximately 11%."
Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation has restated results for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 to reclassify the gain on forgiveness of debt from a related party to equity. This resulted in a change for that three-month period ending June 30, 2007 from reported net income of $118,886 to a net loss of $195,006. The restatement also changed our reported earnings-per-share for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 from earnings of $.02 per share to a loss of $.03 per share.
