2JIM HOGG COUNTY HISTORYJim Hogg County is in the Rio Grande Plain region of South Texas twenty-eight miles north of theMexican border and sixty-six miles west of the Gulf Coast. The county, named for Governor JamesStephen Hogg, is bordered by Webb, Duval, Jim Wells, Brooks, Starr, and Zapata counties. Itscenter lies at 27°05' north latitude and 98°43' west longitude. Hebbronville, the largest town andcounty seat, is at the junction of State highways 16, 285, and 359, in the north central part of thecounty. Other communities include Agua Nueva, Altavista, Guerra, Randado, and Thompsonville.The county comprises 1,136 square miles of flat to gently rolling terrain vegetated with mesquite,scrub brush, grasses, and chaparral. Elevations range from 200 to 800 feet. In the east, soils aresandy, with areas of light color, or have loamy surfaces over very deep reddish or mottled clayeysubsoils. The rest of the county has loamy surfaces over deep reddish or mottled clayey subsoils,with limestone near the surface in some areas. In the early 1990s more than 90 percent of the landwas devoted to farming and ranching, with 2 percent of the farmland under cultivation and 21percent irrigated; only 1 percent of the land in the county is considered prime farmland. Mineralresources include caliche, clay, uranium, oil, and gas. Temperatures range from 44° F to 69° inJanuary and 73° to 99° in July; the average annual temperature is 73°. Rainfall averages twenty-three inches a year, and the growing season lasts 305 days. The area of Jim Hogg County has beenthe site of human habitation for perhaps 11,000 years. Among the oldest artifacts found in theregion are stone implements and human remains dating from the Paleo-Indian period (9200 to 6000B.C.). During the Archaic period (6000 B.C. to A.D. 1000) the local Indian population seems tohave increased, and many hunter-gatherers apparently spent time in the area.

GEOLOGICAL SUMMARY3This document was issued by New Century Exploration. INCNew Century Exploration plans to develop shallow oil reserves at Prado Field in Jim HoggCounty, South Texas. Over 23 million barrels of oil and 32 BCF of gas were produced atPrado Field from 1956 through the 1970’s. Detailed research reports from the Bureau ofEconomic Geology, US Department of Energy, South Texas Geological Society, and othersfound recovery to be insufficient and that sizable additional oil reserves could be recoveredwith redevelopment. Most of the 23 million barrels of oil at Prado Field were producedfrom the thick (Jackson Age) Middle Loma Novia Sand at 3,700’. The trapping mechanismis stratigraphic with 4-way closure. The reports determined that 10-acre or smaller spacingwas necessary for proper drainage due to the complex sand body geometry. The MiddleLoma Novia Sand is an amalgamation of rapidly deposited near-shore facies includingbarrier-bar, tidalinlet- fill, and back-barrier-bars. Although the overall sand interval isconsistently thick, this depositional complexity resulted in an assemblage of individualcompartments separated by mud stone beds and having a small drainage radius. Althoughindividual sand units are small and isolated they are high quality with average 34% porosityand 906 millidarcies permeability. Wells had an average IP of ~90 BOPD and EUR of ~92,000 BO. Most Middle LomaNovia wells at Prado Field were developed on 10-acre spacing but New Century hasidentified and acquired a portion of the field developed on 20-acre spacing that contains 6additional undeveloped 10-acre locations. The first undrilled location is surrounded by 4wells that contain multiple interbedded oil zones. Only a few were perforated, so multipleunproduced oil zones are expected . In addition, the outer perimeter of the drillsite locationdoes not overlap the outer perimeter of the 10-acre drainage areas of the surrounding wells,so little or no depletion is expected in the zones that were perforated. The first drillsite isalso at the apex of a 4-way closure and will be the highest Middle Loma Novia well in thefield. This is a unique opportunity to develop an estimated 75,000 barrels of bypassed oilreserves. Dry hole cost for 1% interest is $10,357 plus an additional $3,838 for completionwith payout estimated at 10 months.

TAX BENEFITSTHE BASIC TAX CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN AN OIL & GAS INVESTMENT 1. INTANGIBLE DRILLING COSTS:Up to 80% of the investment amount constitutes what is known as intangible Drilling Costs (IDC), and is deductible against active, passive or portfolio income in the first year incurred. This includes all labor-relatedcosts for the prospect well. Including, but not limited to, drilling contractors, professional services, and others. Thetotal amount of IDC is reported to each participant at the end of the year. Please consult with your tax advisor forfurther details. 2. TANGIBLE DRILLING COSTS:Approximately 20% of the amount of costs to drill the well constitutes Tangible Drilling Costs (TDC). Thisincludes, but is not limited to, all well equipment, piping, storage tanks, wellhead equipment, lease expenses, andothers. The exact amount will be determined after the well is drilled. This portion of an investment is depreciatedover a seven year period. Please consult with your tax advisor for further details.EXAMPLEESTIMATED TAX PARTICIPATION EXAMPLEA$50,400x 80% $40,320+ $1,440$41,760Investment Amount Intangible Drilling Costs (estimate) 1st year deductions of intangible drilling costs (estimate) 1st year depreciation deduction (estimate) (50,400 x .20 divided by 7 years)TOTAL FIRST YEAR TAX DEDUCTIONS (estimate)B$41,760x 35%$14,616Total Deduction (estimate) Maximum Income Tax BracketTOTAL FIRST YEAR CASH VALUE OF DEDUCTIONS (estimate)C$50,400- $14,616$35,784Investment Amount Actual Cash Savings from Tax Deductions (estimate)AFTER TAX CASH INVESTMENT (estimate) 3. DEPLETION ALLOWANCECurrently, the depletion allowance is 15%. This means that fifteen cents of every dollar is tax-free. Please consultwith your tax advisor for further details. 4. STATE INCOME TAXESState income taxes could add substantial additional savings, however, they may vary from state to state. Pleaseconsult with your tax advisor for further details.27

TAX INCENTIVESCongressional Incentives Encourage Domestic Petroleum DevelopmentOil and Natural Gas from domestic reserves helps to make our country more energy self-sufficient by reducing our dependence onforeign imports. In light of this, Congress has provided tax incentives to stimulate domestic natural gas and oil production financedby private sources. Drilling projects offer many tax advantages and these benefits greatly enhance the economics. The incentives arenot “Loop Holes” – they were placed in the Tax Code by Congress to make participation in oil and gas ventures one of the best tax-advantaged investments.Intangible Drilling Cost Tax DeductionThe intangible expenditures of drilling (labor, chemicals, mud, grease, etc.) are usually about (65 to 80%) of the cost of a well. Theseexpenditures are considered “Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC)” which are 100% deductible during the first year. For example, a$100,000 investment could yield up to $80,000 in tax deductions during the first year of the venture. These deductions are available inthe year the money was invested, even if the well does not start drilling until March 31 of the year following the contribution ofcapital. (See Section 263 of the Tax Code.)Tangible Drilling Cost Tax DeductionThe total amount of the investment allocated to the equipment “Tangible Drilling Costs (TDC)” is 100% tax-deductible. In theexample above, the remaining tangible cost ($25,000) may be deducted as depreciation over a seven-year period. (See Section 263 ofthe Tax Code.)Active vs. Passive IncomeThe Tax Reform Act of 1986 introduced into the Tax Code the concepts of “Passive” income and “Active” income. The Act prohibitsthe offsetting of losses from Passive activities against income from Active businesses. The Tax Code specifically states that aWorking Interest in an oil and gas well is NOT a “Passive” Activity, therefore, deductions can be offset against income from activestock trades, business income, salaries, etc. (See Section 469(c)(3) of the Tax Code.)Small Producers Tax ExemptionThe 1990 Tax Act provided some special tax advantages for small companies and individuals. This tax incentive, known as the“Percentage Depletion Allowance”, is specifically intended to encourage participation in oil and gas drilling. This tax benefit is notavailable to large oil companies, retail petroleum marketers, or refiners that process more than 50,000 barrels per day. The “SmallProducers Exemption” allows 15% of the Gross Income (not Net Income) from an oil and gas producing property to be tax-free.Lease CostsLease costs (purchase of leases, minerals, etc.), sales expenses, legal expenses, administrative accounting, and Lease Operating Costs(LOC) are also 100% tax-deductible through cost depletion.Alternative Minimum TaxPrior to the 1992 Tax Act, working interest participants in oil and gas ventures were subject to the normal Alternative MinimalTax tothe extent that this tax exceeded their regular tax. This Tax Act specifically exempted Intangible Drilling Cost as a Tax Preferenceitem, “Alternative Minimum Taxable Income” generally consists of adjusted gross income, minus allowable Alternative MinimumTax itemized deduction, plus the sum of tax preference items and adjustments. “Tax preference items” are preferences existing in theCode to greatly reduce or eliminate regular income taxation. Included within this group are deductions for excess Intangible Drillingand Development Costs and the deduction for depletion allowable for a taxable year over the adjusted basis in the Drilling Acreageand the wells thereon.28
