UPDA Update to its Shareholders - Report on Activities during the Second Quarter - Management Insight on the Future.

JUNO BEACH, Fla. -- The Fourth of July marked the first year of operations for Universal Property Development and Acquisition Corporation (OTCBB:UPDA). Since we started our first oil and gas subsidiary with less than 2000 acres and fewer than 60 wells, UPDA has made several acquisitions and now controls over 7,000 acres of oil and gas leases with over 150 wells and is generating production from three subsidiaries. Revenues have grown from $29,000 in the 4th quarter of 2005, to $106,000 in the 1st quarter of 2006 to over $1.2 Million in the 2nd quarter of 2006; including a gain on the sale of a partial interest in one lease (full financial results will be reported in our 10QSB within the next 45 days).

During the second quarter we reorganized the company and laid a solid foundation to ensure that the company will continue to develop as a strong and viable entity that will grow and prosper.

The UPDA subsidiaries report the following:

Canyon Creek Oil and Gas, Inc. now controls over 3000 acres and is producing oil from 6 wells on its Archer lease, oil and gas from 8 wells on its Coleman lease and from one well on the Prideaux lease while the work over of those properties, including 15 wells, continues. Compliance with Texas Rail Road Commission regulations was completed on the Palo Pinto lease and its 26 wells are expected to be brought on line this quarter. Halliburton was retained during the quarter in order to log the Inez well and a petroleum engineer was engaged to advise on its production opportunities. Canyon Creek remains optimistic about the possibilities of this property.

Texas Energy, Inc. has acquired a portfolio of approximately 1300 acres, completed the work over of its Nantz lease and brought it on line and into production. As a result of the successful progress of its work over program, the Texas Railroad Commission has lifted the severance from the Wiechman and the Thresher-Medlin leases and a total of 16 additional wells are expected to be brought on line this quarter.

Catlin Oil and Gas, Inc. completed the acquisition of over 2700 acres in Jack County, Texas on June 2, 2006 and immediately began repairing the extensive gas pipeline and gathering system that management anticipates will deliver substantial revenue from the transportation of natural gas production generated by neighboring operators. A significant increase in the delivery of gas to sale will result from these repairs and the marketing of transportation services will be pursued. The oil and gas professionals of Landmark have commenced the work over of the 65 existing wells on the property and plans are being formulated for the exploration of the Barnett Shale and other pay zones for the drilling of additional wells.

Updated production reports will be available on the UPDA web site (www.universalpropertydevelopment.com) within the next few days and the site is undergoing a complete redesign to provide real time information, multi-level access and further substantial enhancements and methods of communication in the near future.

As part the reorganization of the company, UPDA Operators, Inc. was established in the second quarter. This subsidiary will be responsible for the operation and management of UPDA's production assets. In conjunction with this subsidiary, UPDA is completing the formation of a well services company to manage all workovers, well maintenance and future drilling programs. This subsidiary will be staffed with very capable oil and gas personnel. The processes to be employed by these two subsidiaries will guarantee the aggressive and consistent pursuit of UPDA's ambitious business plan.

A professional geologist has been added to UPDA's management team and a petroleum engineer has been retained as a consultant to advise on technical matters. An assistant COO has been assigned to monitor each subsidiary and ensure the proper execution of the business plan in the field. New relations have been forged with investment bankers, and other professionals crucial to the company operations.

Preparation of an Independent Reserve Report of UPDA's oil and gas assets has been initiated. This report will significantly impact UPDA's balance sheet and should assist investors and shareholders in determining the market value of our company.

In summary, UPDA has established a scalable management formula for the internal analysis, operation, maintenance, development and expansion of oil and gas fields of all sizes and potential. As a result, prospective acquisitions will be analyzed by a management team including geologists and engineers and completed acquisitions will be managed, serviced and drilled by competent oil and gas professionals. Finally, through the state of the art internet applications in development, all properties will be monitored by a real time system that will allow management to immediately determine the status of all production and operations via the internet.

As shareholders and sentinels of UPDA, the management and board of directors are well aware of the decrease in our company's market cap and we are in diligent pursuit of programs and initiatives designed to improve and enhance shareholder value. From the business and operational side, we have streamlined and reorganized in order to expand control, decrease expenses and maximize revenue. From the communications side, we are building a state of the art website and formulating an extensive public relations program which will be coming into focus during the next two quarters.
