Message from CEO

To Our Shareholders, Employees, Customers, Suppliers and Business Friends:

Our business plan is focused on providing superior and cost-effective petroleum product distribution, transportation logistics and emergency response services to a wide range of customers using our high level technology; the capabilities of our management team, which encompass the broad spectrum of the petroleum product manufacturing, supply and distribution chain; and the capital and other resources available to a public company. We believe that the business plan we are undertaking has not been previously directed to these growing service sectors that will benefit from the operating efficiencies and financial strength afforded by industry consolidation.

Our primary objectives are to increase the volume of services and products delivered, generate significant revenue growth, continue margin expansion, realize operating efficiencies and reduce the cost of capital. We believe that these objectives can be achieved by continued adherence to the step-by-step completion of our business plan, resulting in bottom-line financial performance and increased equity value to our shareholders.

We plan to continue to pursue growth through strategic acquisitions in order to profitably expand our products, services and areas of operation while further developing our existing base of business, including that of our new acquisitions. The Shank Services and H & W Petroleum acquisitions have expanded our footprint for commercial fueling in Texas and provided a significant entry into the petroleum lubricants market. We intend to utilize the blueprint of our Texas operation in other core geographical operating areas of the Company.

As a growing public company with operations in 34 locations and 11 states, we remain cognizant of our corporate responsibilities to shareholders, employees, customers, the communities in which we operate, and the Company. Our management, financial and operations personnel are committing significant resources to ensure that the Company has all of the proper controls, processes and procedures in place to comply with the new regulatory requirements imposed by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and similar laws. These efforts are being integrated with our management driven initiatives to build and operate a disciplined, diversified and technologically advanced organization capable of efficient and expeditious acquisition and integration of new and expanding services through the consolidation of companies and assets.

We greatly value the business relationships with our investors, customers and suppliers and look forward to your continued support and interest in the exciting years ahead.

Sincerely,
Richard E. Gathright
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
