 PROSPECTS

In December 2007 the Corporation contracted to purchase, with institutional investors, through a financial facility, a working interest in six existing and producing Canyon Sandstone gas wells in Crockett County, Texas. The conclusion of the transaction and recording of the wells took place in the first quarter of 2008.

This was followed with additional investments from the same institutional investors in the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2008. The investor funds were used for drilling a total of seven additional Canyon Sandstone gas wells and two deeper Strawn Limestone and Ellenburger Dolomite wells for a total of nine. Drilling was completed during the fourth quarter; currently the Corporation has ten gas wells producing, and five waiting for completion.

Funds for the transaction were provided by a private institutional investment group in exchange for a portion of Victory’s interest ownership in each term assignment. Currently Victory maintains 15% of the interest ownership until such time the revenues have paid back the original acquisition investment, then Victory’s interest ownership will increase to 25%.

The Corporation has targeted the prolific Canyon Sandstone gas field in the Texas Permian Basin, with the intent to focus on the drilling and completion of natural gas wells in this existing field. The opportunity is of reduced risk due to the extensive historical information available from this specific natural gas field.

The Canyon Sandstone gas play is located in the Texas Permian Basin as part of the large prolific Adams-Baggett Canyon Sandstone gas field. The Canyon Sandstone formation is found at a depth of 4,300 feet to 4,900 feet. Initial flow test for these wells is approximately 250,000 cubic feet of gas per day per well. The average life span of a Canyon Sandstone gas well is approximately 30 years, the decline production curve starting during the second year.
Natural gas from the Canyon Sandstone gas zone receives a 20% premium in price above the standard price due to its higher BTU content per cubic foot of natural gas.

Within this existing gas field are two deeper zones, Strawn Limestone and the Ellenburger Dolomite. The Strawn zone is usually found at 9,000 to 9,800 feet, while the depth of the Ellenburger zone is between 10,500 and 11,500 feet.

To reduce risk in the field, each well drilled has the opportunity to have the Canyon Sandstone gas zone available to produce from. For each of the deeper gas wells drilled in this field, the Corporation will always have the Canyon Sandstone zone available as a fall back opportunity to produce from and recover any additional drilling expenses incurred from drilling a deeper well.

The underlying opportunity in drilling a deeper gas well is to first produce the deepest zone, Ellenburger Dolomite, until it is depleted. The next step is then to produce the shallower Strawn Limestone until depletion and finally to produce the Canyon Sandstone zone to depletion.

The Corporation received its first revenue from production sales from this field in March of 2008.
