Croff Reports Sale of Dewitt County, TX Assets
Croff Enterprises Inc. ("COFF") announced today
that it had sold its significant assets in Dewitt County, Texas to Pool
Natural Resources Corporation of Austin, Texas. Pool Natural Resources
purchased Croff's leases for the price of $255,000. These assets are as
follows:
1. The Eyhorn lease which includes a 20% working interest in the
Edwards (Dixel) Gips well and Croff's Interest in the Oscar Gips Well
2. The Panther Pipeline, approximately 7.2 miles of natural gas
pipeline, which Croff recently acquired from Panther Pipeline Ltd. of
Houston, Texas
The assets sold belonged to the common shareholders of the Company. Jerry
Jensen, President of Croff, explained that the other oil and natural gas
assets of Croff are held by the Preferred B Shares. The Company had
originally started a drilling re-entry program in Dewitt County, Texas, in
2004 which was not part of the Preferred Share's oil and gas assets. The
Company then entered into a joint venture to develop these re-entry wells
with Tempest Energy Resources, LP, a Texas Limited Partnership with offices
in Dallas, Texas. Tempest, after the plugging of the first re-entry well,
withdrew from the balance of the acreage. Croff then determined it would
sell these assets.
Pool intends to re-enter or drill additional wells to the Wilcox formation
on the acquired leases. Croff retains a working interest in three smaller
wells in Dewitt County, Texas, which Pool declined to purchase. Jensen said
the sale is consistent with the strategic alternatives the Company has been
pursuing.
Croff is an independent energy company engaged in the business of oil and
natural gas production, primarily through ownership of perpetual mineral
interests and acquisition of producing oil and natural gas leases. The
Company's principal activity is oil and natural gas production from
non-operated properties. The Company acquires, owns and produces producing
and non-producing leases and perpetual mineral interests in Alabama,
Colorado, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas,
Utah and Wyoming.

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.
