These transactions are a clear demonstration to the shareholders of UPDA regarding the commitment of the company to accelerate its ascent to the next level. The Board and Management of UPDA have continuously endeavored to build and increase shareholders' value and grow the company and the acquisition of Heartland and Continental are manifest of that policy. The Heartland acquisition, in particular, is a clear representation of UPDA's strategic vision. In our opinion, it is the deal of the century for a company intent on establishing itself as a leading energy producer. As a result of this transaction, UPDA has gained control of approximately one million acres of oil and gas leases with current production and unlimited expansion opportunities, as well as obtained an entrance into the low risk arena of coal bed methane production. Further, Heartland is a public company is anticipated to encompass all our oil and gas leases in the future, which will help UPDA to mainstream its operations. In addition, through this acquisition, UPDA was able to add significant oil and gas expertise to manage our expanded assets. Finally, the acquisition delivers real value to UPDA's balance sheet, as indicated in the SEC Form 8-K Form 8-K The form required by the SEC when a publicly held company incurs any event that might affect its financial situation or the share value of its stock.

As for Continental Fuels Inc, it is also a great acquisition. The UPDA Board and Management always felt that the value of our trading business and storage facilities was not properly reflected in the value of UPDA stock. As outlined in the latest 8-K, UPDA will receive $2.5 million cash and 50,000 preferred shares Preferred shares Preferred shares give investors a fixed dividend from the company's earnings and entitle them to be paid before common shareholders.

We are confident that the management of Continental, under the direction of the Board of Directors, is well positioned to exploit the opportunities this transaction delivers. Through their representation on the Boards of Directors of each, UPDA continues to oversee the operations of both of the acquired companies and UPDA will directly assist Heartland's drilling program by providing well services and Continental's trading program by providing access to valuable contacts and suppliers. The dynamics and synergies of these affiliations are designed for success. The Board and Management of UPDA are committed to building UPDA as a premier energy and alternative energy company even if it requires the personal guarantees we supplied in order to complete these transactions. It is our intention to continue this path of sound acquisitions and generic growth for the mutual benefit of our shareholders and employees.
