ReoStar Energy Corp. Announces Results for Fiscal Year 2009

Mark Zouvas, CEO of ReoStar, stated, "We are pleased to have achieved improvements in our oil and gas production over the previous year, despite the challenging energy environment we faced. The industry continues to undergo extraordinary changes as pricing volatility has created a large number of insolvencies during the last six months. Due to weak pricing, we have shifted our focus from development drilling to improving operational efficiencies and cost control by utilizing advanced technologies at down-market costs to improve current production. Additionally, we are reviewing distressed E&P opportunities for acquisition. Our Union Bank of California credit facility has allowed us to withstand the continued volatility in pricing and we expect to be in position to seize growth opportunities that have historically followed industry wide slowdowns."
