) announces audited results for the fourth quarter of 2006, year ending December 31, 2006 and provides update. Total revenue for the three months ending December 31, 2006 was $1,534,839 compared to $3,178,394 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Meanwhile for the year, total revenue was $14,979,801 compared to total revenue of $22,512,638 in 2005. The annual revenue breakdown is as follows: 2006 revenue from oil and gas activity was $14,040,006 compared to revenue of $21,258,421 in 2005. It should be noted that 2006 included 14 monthly natural gas production payments as compared to the normal 12 monthly payments (5 payments received during Q1-2006; 3 payments received during Q2-2006; 3 payments received during Q3-2006; 3 payments received during Q4-2006). The increased number of payments received during Q1-2006 was due to a timing difference and was a one time event due to the Company taking its gas "in kind" as of December of 2005. Dividend and interest income for 2006 was $814,173 compared to $289,711 for 2005. In 2006 we incurred a loss from the sale of investment securities in the amount of $59,088 as compared to a net gain of $954,085 in 2005. Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $551,667 compared to $742,318 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Meanwhile for the year, total expenses were $1,821,754 compared to $1,567,184 for the prior year. The increase in expenses was mainly due to the contribution made to the Biloxi Marsh Disaster Relief Fund, the development of the Biloxi Marsh Stabilization and Restoration Plan and hurricane Katrina Editing of this page by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled due to vandalism.  related expenses. For the fourth quarter of 2006 net earnings were $728,063 or $.26 per share compared to $2,240,705 or $.81 per share for the same period of 2005.

We reported at the end of last year that the company had approximately 82,000 acres open and available for exploration and development. We also reported that the company was employing a marketing effort which it hoped would result in future oil, gas and mineral agreements. On December 15, 2006 we announced the formation of B & L Exploration, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

 to drill at least three of the five prospects and hopes to commence drilling the first well located on company property by the end of March 2007. The agreement between the company and the Manti Group and the execution of two accompanying 400 acre oil, gas and mineral leases evidences the initial success of our marketing efforts. It should be noted the establishment of BLX signifies our more active management strategy employed in an effort to seek opportunities outside of the confines of our property's physical boundaries. Our goal is to use all of our available assets to obtain revenue interests in newly drilled wells with minimal related cash expenditures.

On January 25, 2007 we announced the company's and BLX's participation in the NAPE nape (nap) the back of the neck.

 28-1 well. We are pleased to report that this well was placed back online on June 9, 2006. As of December 31, 2006 the combined gross daily production rate from 13 wells was approximately 22 million cubic feet (mmcf) with net daily production accruing to the Company of approximately 2.4 mmcf.

The year end reserve study commissioned by the Company and completed by an independent reservoir engineer estimates that as of December 31, 2006 the Company's "Developed Producing" proved reserves proved reserves

The same reserve study estimates the productive life of the wells ranges from one to seven years with slightly more then 31% of the proved reserves depleting prior to the end of 2007.

Prior to 2004, the Company has paid one dividend each year, during 2006 the Board of Directors paid two dividends totaling $4.00 per share of outstanding common stock or $11,017,712. Without the addition of reserves it is not realistic to expect that this payment level will be obtainable in 2007.
