NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(THE PERIOD SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 IS UNAUDITED)

1.   Company’s Business
 
    Natural Gas Systems, Inc. is a petroleum company engaged primarily in the acquisition, exploitation and development of properties for the production of crude oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. Formed in September 2003, the Company acquires established oil and gas properties and exploits them through the application of conventional and specialized technology to increase production, ultimate recoveries, or both. The terms “Company” and “NGS” refer to Natural Gas Systems, Inc., and its subsidiaries. NGS currently conducts operations through its 100% working interest in the Delhi Field.
 
2.   Significant Risks and Uncertainties
 
    Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the balance sheet date, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes, abandonment costs and the determination of proved reserves. Changes in circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
    The Company’s business makes it vulnerable to changes in crude oil and natural gas prices. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future. This volatility can dramatically affect cash flows and proved reserves, since price declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved reserves and increase annual amortization expense (which is based on proved reserves). Other risks related to proved reserves, revenues and cash flows include the Company’s current reliance on the concentration of a few wells. The reserve report dated as of January 1, 2004, identifies eight wells that make up approximately 60% of the Company’s PV10. At July 31, 2004, approximately 85% of the Company’s production was derived from three wells.
 
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Table of Contents

NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(THE PERIOD SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 IS UNAUDITED)

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    Oil and Gas Properties and Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment – The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and natural gas properties. All costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, including unproductive wells, are capitalized. Included in capitalized costs are general and administrative costs that are directly related with acquisition, exploration and development activities. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are credited to the full cost pool, unless the sale involves a significant quantity of reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the full cost method of accounting, the net carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, reduced by the asset retirement obligation, is limited to the sum of the present value (10% discount rate) of the estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, based on the current prices, plus the lower of cost or estimated fair market value of unproved properties adjusted for related income tax effects.
 
    Capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties are depleted on a unit of production method using proved oil and natural gas reserves. Costs depleted include net capitalized costs subject to depletion and estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs.
 
    Equipment, which includes computer equipment, hardware and software and furniture and fixtures, is recorded at cost and is generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range in period of three to seven years.
 
    Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
 
    Statement of Cash Flows – For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less as of the date of purchase.
 
    Concentrations of Credit Risk – All of the Company’s trade receivables are due from one purchaser. Accounts receivable are generally not collateralized.
 
    Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is sold.

(THE PERIOD SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 IS UNAUDITED)

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    Stock Options – As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” the Company follows the accounting requirements for stock options and stock-based awards contained in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations and consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force in terms of measuring compensation expense.
 
    SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”).
 
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and seller notes. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these short-term instruments. The fair values of the seller notes approximates their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2003, based upon interest rates currently available to us for borrowings with similar terms.
 
    New Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 was effective for the Company at inception.
 
    During December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which requires the consolidation of certain entities that are determined to be variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). An entity is considered to be a VIE when either (i) the entity lacks sufficient equity to carry on its principal operations, (ii) the equity owners of the entity cannot make decisions about the entity’s activities or (iii) the entity’s equity neither absorbs losses or benefits from gains. NGS owns no interest in variable interest entities, and therefore this new interpretation has not affected the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(THE PERIOD SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 IS UNAUDITED)

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
    Unaudited Information – The balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 and the statements of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 were taken from the Company’s books and records without audit. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments which are necessary to make not misleading the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2004 and the results of operations for three months ended March 31, 2004. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the year.
 
4.   Acquisitions
 
    During September 2003, NGS completed the acquisition of a 100% working interest in the Delhi Field, currently the only operating asset of the Company. The acquisition closed on September 25, 2003, whereby NGS paid $995,000 in cash, issued a purchase money mortgage for $1,500,000 (See Note 7, Notes Payable, for a description of the mortgage) and assumed a plugging and abandonment reclamation liability in the amount of approximately $302,000 (see Note 5, Asset Retirement Obligations), in exchange for the conveyance of all the underlying leasehold interests. In addition to the mortgage, the property is burdened by a 20% royalty interest.
 
5.   Asset Retirement Obligations
 
    When an oil or gas property ceases economic production, the Company dismantles and removes all surface equipment, plugs the wells and restores the property’s surface in accordance with various regulations and agreements before abandoning the property. The state of Louisiana requires operators of oil and gas properties to secure plugging, abandonment and reclamation liabilities with financial collateral in favor of the state. In the case of the Delhi Field, the previous owner had established a Site Specific Trust Fund (SSTA Account) that is considered a fully funded liability by the state of Louisiana. Pursuant to the Company’s agreement to purchase the Delhi Field in September of 2003, NGS agreed to replace the seller’s collateral on the SSTA Account within 120 days of closing. At December 31, 2003, NGS had not yet posted its collateral, but the Company earmarked $301,835 in cash balances by transferring this amount to “Other Assets” on the Company’s balance sheet.

5.   Asset Retirement Obligations (continued)
 
    In accordance with FAS 143, the Company has recorded an estimated asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for its Delhi Field of approximately $302,000, of which $274,000 relates to the Company’s wells and $28,000 relates to wells operated by the Company for a third party. Accordingly, the Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation in the amount of $302,000 with an offsetting $274,000 charge to the full cost pool, and a $28,000 receivable due from the 3rd party, which was received in the second quarter of 2004.
 
    Also in accordance with FAS 143, the Company provides accretion expense on all ARO liabilities. For the Delhi Field, NGS uses the 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield of 4.27% available at September 30, 2003, which equates to 1.05% per quarter.
 
    During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, NGS replaced the seller’s collateral by posting a letter of credit in the face amount of $301,835, fully collateralized by a certificate of deposit issued on Wells Fargo Bank.
 
    The following table describes the change in the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the period from September 23, 2003 (inception) to March 31, 2004:

         
Asset retirement obligation at September 23, 2003

7.   Notes Payable
 
    In September, 2003, the Company issued $1,500,000 of notes payable in connection with its acquisition of the Delhi Field. The notes are collateralized by a first mortgage on the Company’s Delhi field and are payable to the sellers in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on January 30, 2004. Although the notes bear no interest, the Company has imputed interest at 8% per annum, thus resulting in an initial recorded principal amount of $1,407,049. At December 31, 2003, the balance of the notes payable was $1,436,973, including $29,924 of imputed interest. At March 31, 2004, the principal balance outstanding was $1,088,399.
 
8.   Common Stock and Stock Options
 
    At December 31, 2003, the Company had 20,864,800 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During 2003, 18,000,000 common shares were issued as founder’s capital at $0.001 per share, and 2,864,800 common shares were sold and issued at $1.00 per share through a private equity offering to accredited investors.
 
    At March 31, 2004, the Company had 21,000,200 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, 135,400 common shares were sold and issued at $1.00 per share.
 
    The Company adopted a stock option plan in 2003 (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing shares of the Company’s common stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of shares and for the grant of options to purchase shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed 4,000,000 shares. Options granted under the Plan may include nonstatutory options as well as incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.
 
    At December 31, 2003, options totaling 600,000 shares of the Company’s stock had been granted, subject to various vesting requirements. Options to purchase 250,000, 250,000 and 100,000 shares were granted to Messrs. Herlin, McDonald and Lee (counsel to the Company), respectively. Mr. Herlin’s options are committed for subsequent transfer to Tatum Partners in consideration of their services agreement with the Company. These options were accounted for under APB 25, with respect to Messrs. Herlin and McDonald, and under FASB 123 with respect to Mr. Lee, and gave rise to expense of $537,150 which will be expensed over the respective vesting periods of the options.
 
    No options were issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

8.   Common Stock and Stock Options (continued)
 
    A reconciliation of reported loss as if the Company used the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation has not been provided as the results obtained from the fair value and intrinsic method were essentially the same.
 
    Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of approximately 2.5%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factor of .001 to .25; and a weighted-average expected life of three years. These assumptions resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value of $.87. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value is amortized to expense over the awards’ vesting period.
 
    The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Pro forma compensation cost reflected above may not be representative of the cost to be expected in future years.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows at December 31, 2003

    The information that follows has been developed pursuant to SFAS No. 69 and utilizes reserve and production data prepared or reviewed by independent petroleum consultants. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of new discoveries are less precise than those of producing oil and natural gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.
 
    The estimated discounted future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves are based on prices and costs as of the date of the estimate unless such prices or costs are contractually determined at such date. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. Actual future net revenues also will be affected by factors such as actual production, supply and demand for oil and natural gas, curtailments or increases in consumption by natural gas purchasers, changes in governmental regulations or taxation and the impact of inflation on costs. Future income tax expense has been reduced for the effect of available net operating loss carryforwards.

11.   Subsequent Events
 
    On May 17, 2004, the Company changed its fiscal year from December 31, to June 30.
 
    On May 26, 2004, the Company completed a reverse merger into Reality Interactive, a public shell, wherein NGS took control of the surviving company. Following completion of the merger, Reality Interactive changed its name to Natural Gas Systems, Inc. The Company’s trading symbol is NGSY and trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The completion of the merger earned Cagan McAfee Capital Partners the $300,000 fee described in Note 10, Related Party Transactions.
 
    During the 2nd calendar quarter of 2004, NGS completed its 2nd round private equity offering to accredited investors for the sale of 750,000 common shares at an effective price of $1 per share and began its 3rd round private equity offering to accredited investors, of which, 250,000 common shares have been sold at an effective price of $1 per share (the “effective price” includes warrants attached, all of which were immediately exercised). Expenses for both offerings include placement fees equal to 8% of proceeds, plus warrants exercisable at $1 per share on 8% of shares sold (additional to the warrants issued above). All offering expenses were payable to Cagan McAfee Capital Partners in accordance with the financial advisory services agreement described in Note 9, Related Party Transactions.

12.   Income Taxes
 
    The tax effect of significant temporary differences representing deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2003, are as follows:

         
Oil and gas properties
  $ (113,558 )
Net operating loss carryforwards
    228,043  
Valuation Allowance
    (114,485 )
 
   
 
 
Net deferred tax asset
  $  
 
   
 
 

    The increase in the valuation allowance during fiscal 2003 of $114,485 is the result of additional net tax losses incurred during the year.
 
    As of December 31, 2003, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $670,714 that will expire in 2024. Future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited by changes in the ownership of the Company in May 2004 under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    The difference between the actual income expense or benefit of zero for fiscal year 2003 and the expected amount using the statutory income tax rate of 34% results from the 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset at year end.

13.   Liquidity
 
    As of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, the Company had negative working capital of $360,749 and $536,634, respectively and incurred losses for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 of $336,905 and $324,507, respectively. These matters raise concerns about the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations and fund future operations.
 
    The Company has taken the following steps to provide funding for operations, acquisitions of producing properties and to meet its debt obligations:

  Substantially increased production from the Delhi Field.
 
  Initiated a private offering of its common stock.

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

1.   Basis of Preparation
 
    The accompanying historical summaries of revenues and direct operating expenses relate to the operations of the Delhi Field oil and gas properties acquired by Natural Gas Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on September 23, 2003 from Delta Exploration and Development Co. and Camark Production Co. The properties were acquired for $1,000,000 in cash and an interest-free note payable in the amount of $1,495,000.
 
    Revenues are recorded when the Company’s share of oil or natural gas and related liquids are sold. Direct operating expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Direct operating expenses include lease operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and production taxes. Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas properties, general and administrative expenses and income taxes have been excluded from operating expenses in the accompanying historical summaries because the amounts would not be comparable to those resulting from proposed future operations.
 
    The historical summaries presented herein were prepared for the purpose of complying with the financial statement requirements of a business acquisition to be filed on Form 8-K as promulgated by Regulation S-B Item 3-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
2.   Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Reserves (Unaudited)
 
    Proved oil and gas reserves consist of those estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
 
    The following estimates of proved reserves have been made by independent engineers, based on the 80% net revenue interest purchased by the Company. The estimated net interest in proved reserves are based upon subjective engineering judgments and may be affected by the limitations inherent in such estimation. The process of estimating reserves is subject to continual revision as additional information becomes available as a result of drilling, testing, reservoir studies and production history. There can be no assurance that such estimates will not be materially revised in subsequent periods.

    The primary changes in the standardized measure of discounted estimated future net cash flows for the period from January 1, 2003 to September 23, 2003 and for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2002, were as follows:

                 
    2003
  2002
Beginning of period
  $ 4,637,512     $ 3,254,254  
Sales of oil and gas produced, net of production costs
    (6,652 )     (9,289 )
Effect of change in prices
    (267,891 )     1,846,310  
Accretion of discount
    463,751       325,425  
Net change in income taxes
    47,492       (609,524 )
Revision of estimates and other
    25,828       (169,664 )
 
   
 
     
 
 
End of period
  $ 4,900,040     $ 4,637,512  
 
   
 
     
 
 

    Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves. Estimated future development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on period-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax expense is calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates to estimated future pre-tax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves, less Natural Gas Systems’ tax basis of the properties involved as if the purchase had occurred at April 1, 2002.
 
    The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and as such, do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves nor their present worth. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process.
