Corporate Philosophy

• Integration of Merchant Banking with the Trust
  sector
• Combine the cash flow streams from the business
  segments of Oil Gas Production, Energy
  Services, Real Estate and Financial Services to
  diversify risk
• Maintain attractive yields with sustainable
  distributions
• Target quality trustable assets for acquisition
  which are too small to become trusts
  independently
• Accretively grow each segment to generate steady
  income and capital appreciation
• Over a 3 year period, build each business unit to
  a size of independence for possible divestment.

Growth Strategy

• Energy
• Target opportunities of less than 1,000 boe/d
  which are too small for pure-play energy trusts
• Maintain the Trusts reserve life index at 6 to 8
  years
• Hedge commodity price exposure
• Pursue diversification opportunities which are
  economic and accretive and
• Target essential production energy services with
  management in place.
• Financial Services
• Focus on providing high-yield financial services
  contracts to businesses outside energy and real
  estate industries and
• Identify opportunities in financial services,
  financial management and business services where
  contracts or business relationships provide
  stable cashflow streams at a 10-14 yield
• Further diversify portfolio across multiple
  business lines.
• Real Estate
• Target and acquire real estate properties that
  will yield a 9-12 return, using 65 leverage
  and
• Identify properties that are too large for
  individual investors yet too small for REITs.
