DISCUSSION:

The scope of this study was to audit the proved reserves attributable to the interests of Player Resources Corporation. Reserve estimates were prepared by Player Resources using acceptable evaluation principals for each source, The quantities presented herein are estimated reserves of oil, condensate and natural gas that geologic and engineering data demonstrate can be recovered from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions with reasonable certainty.

Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc. has audited the reserve estimates, the data incorporated into preparing the estimates and the methodology used to evaluate the reserves. In each of Player Resources' producing areas all current year additions and those properties of significant value were reviewed by Ralph E. Davis. Reserve estimates of current producing zones, productive zones behind pipe and undrilled well locations were reviewed in detail. Certain changes to either individual reserve estimates or the categorization of reserves were suggested by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc. and accepted by Player Resources. It is our opinion that the reserves presented herein meet all the
