Notes from the AGM
------------------------------

Production:
- All wells back online, current production about 180bpd
- surface equipment upgraded by adding more tanks which cost $40,000 each. They now have the capacity for a lot more production (no exact rates given)
- next step is to link up a pipeline to Tapia which will cost around $400,000 but should remove the need for any more surface tanks and allow much higher increases in production

Current trading:
- Profitable and cash-flow positive
- Weren't intending to issue a trading statement before the interims but after several people asked for one it looks like they may be going to do one.
- Interims will be out end of September / early October

Funding:
- Looking at debt financing first, banks are coming to them, someone offered them $10M a while ago but consider that too much at this time.
- Possibly going to get a JV partner later whereby an other company (maybe Teton, or other similar co's) will take a % of Tapia for X million and pay their way.
- Don't expect any institutions to buy in until the interims

- Karl Arleth had to leave because his company (Teton) made an offer for the company but they turned him down.

Now read this report, it has not been published as yet, Why??? has the company asked to have it valued for sales purposes... does sound that way to me, also there has been a lot of activity in the shares of late, before it was a dead dog.. stinks of a take over
