SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS
 
ITEM 8.01  Other Events.
 
During April and May 2010, we acquired approximately 5,990 net acres located in Divide County, North Dakota (the “Spyglass Acreage”) through the execution of 131 oil and gas leases.  The aggregate consideration paid to acquire the Spyglass Acreage totaled approximately $1,354,000, resulting in an average price of $226 per acre.  Management believes that the Spyglass Acreage is highly prospective for oil and gas reserves located within the Bakken / Three Forks trend and is currently evaluating various exploratory options with respect to the acquired acreage.
