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.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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.
