NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. (NYTEX Energy) is an energy holding company consisting of two wholly
owned subsidiaries: NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX Petroleum), an exploration and production
company concentrating on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas reserves, and
Supreme Oilfield Services, Inc. (Supreme Oilfield), a holding company for the Companys
investment in Supreme Vacuum Services, Inc. (Supreme Vacuum). NYTEX Energy and subsidiaries are
collectively referred to herein as the Company.
Liquidity
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $571,460 and used
cash in operations of $515,190. Additionally, at June 30, 2010 current liabilities totaling
$2,077,623 exceeded current assets totaling $404,850. Funding needs of the Company have
historically been provided by proceeds from equity funding, however, there can be no assurance that
such funds, if needed, will be available in the future. During the six months ended June 30, 2010,
the Company received gross cash proceeds from the sale of its common stock of $181,100 along with
$859,408 from the sale of oil and gas properties. These proceeds were used to repay debt and for
general working capital purposes.
Currently, the Company does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its
operating costs. The Company cannot be certain that its existing sources of cash will be adequate
to meet its liquidity requirements. To meet its present and future liquidity requirements, the
Company will continue to seek additional funding through private placements, as well as conversion
of outstanding payables into common stock and collections on accounts receivable. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the
future or that its results of operations will materially improve in either the short-term or the
long-term. If the Company fails to obtain such financing and improve its results of operations, it
will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial information. These financial statements include the accounts of NYTEX Energy and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. This includes normal and recurring
adjustments.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues for promoting certain
oil and gas projects, including oil containment boom activities, and administering the ownership interests of investors
in those projects. Administration fees are deferred on the balance sheet as the project is undertaken. As the Company
performs its administration services, deferred administration fees are recognized as revenue when each discrete phase of
a project is completed and the services have been completed.
The Company records revenues from the sales of natural gas and crude oil when product delivery occurs and title and risk
of loss pass to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company also provides certain accounting and management services to other companies and investment funds within the
oil and gas industry. Revenues are recognized for such services as they are performed.
Loss per Common Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts
are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
amounts assume the conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock instruments
unless the effect is anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the loss or increasing the income per common
share. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had potentially dilutive shares
of approximately 5,980,902 and 5,095,000, respectively, which were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, basic and diluted per share amounts are the
same, as the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03, Extractive
Industries Oil and Gas, (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosure, which aligned
U.S. GAAP with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) updated reporting and disclosure
requirements for energy companies that went into effect on January 1, 2010, effective for annual
reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company included the required
disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31,
2009 contained elsewhere within this filing under the guidance of the Modernization of Oil and Gas
Reporting update issued by the SEC in December 2008.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative consolidated financial statements to
conform to the current periods presentation.
NOTE 3. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Oil and gas properties consist of the following:
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||

Proved properties |
$ | 767,005 | $ | 1,133,370 | ||||

and amortization oil & gas properties |
(102,107 | ) | (87,997 | ) | ||||
$ | 664,898 | $ | 1,045,373 | |||||
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of oil and gas properties was $14,110 and
$18,672 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE 4. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Companys asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated present value of the
amount it will incur to plug, abandon and remediate its producing properties at the end of their
productive lives, in accordance with applicable state laws. The Company determines its asset
retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the
liability. The following represents a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligations for the
six months ended June 30, 2010:
Asset retirement obligation, December 31, 2009 |
$ | 40,883 | ||

NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
Supreme Vacuum provides oilfield fluid services in South Texas, specializing in drilling and
production fluids handling, sales and storage. Beginning on August 26, 2008, the Company, through
its wholly owned subsidiaries as well as NYTEX Petroleums predecessor entity NYTEX Petroleum LLC,
made a series of equity investments in Supreme Vacuum, after which the Company maintained an
approximate 71.18% ownership interest in Supreme Vacuum as of June 30, 2010. The total amount of
these investments was $2,172,130.
However, contemporaneous with investments in Supreme Vacuum on December 30, 2008, Supreme Oilfield
executed a voting trust agreement and has transferred sufficient shares such that the sellers and
founding members of Supreme Vacuum would maintain the power to vote approximately 51% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Supreme Vacuum until such time that personal guarantees of the founding
members on certain debt liabilities incurred by Supreme Vacuum have been extinguished, giving the
Company an effective Supreme Vacuum voting percentage of approximately 49%. Accordingly, by virtue
of the shares transferred to the voting trust, the Companys powers as a majority shareholder are
restricted, with the powers to control Supreme Vacuums operations and assets remaining with the
founding members. As such, the Company does not control Supreme Vacuum. Since a majority-owned
subsidiary shall not be consolidated if control does not rest with the majority owner, the Company
therefore does not consolidate Supreme Vacuum and accounts for this investment under the equity
method. Losses attributable to the Companys interest in Supreme Vacuum were $235,103 and $349,422
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The carrying value of the Companys
investment in Supreme Vacuum was $1,344,056 at June 30, 2010.

Summarized financial information for the significant equity method investee is included for
the periods in which the Company held an equity method ownership interest.
In addition, the Company owned a 14.31% ownership interest in Waterworks, LP (Waterworks), a
salt-water disposal facility in Wise County, Texas, at June 30, 2010. The Company has significant
influence over the operations of Waterworks and is responsible for managing the interests of the
limited partners. However, the Company does not control Waterworks and accordingly its investment
in Waterworks is accounted for under the equity method. Income/(loss) attributable to the
Companys interest in Waterworks was ($5,500) and $3,262 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively. The carrying value of the Companys investment in Waterworks was $0 at June
30, 2010.
NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT
In July 2009, the Company entered into various six-month bridge loan agreements (Bridge Loans)
totaling $950,000, the proceeds of which were used for the acquisition of producing properties as
well as operational and working capital purposes. Interest was payable at a rate of 25% per annum
and was due at maturity on January 31, 2010. The Bridge Loans are secured by a producing oil and
gas property in west Texas (the Panhandle Field Producing Property) purchased on August 1, 2009,
its leasehold rights, and its production and equipment.
Effective upon maturity, the Bridge Loan holders executed letter agreements with the Company
extending the maturity date of principal and interest up to September 1, 2010, with no penalties
for prepayment. Interest is payable at rates of 25% and 18% per annum on original Bridge Loan
principal of $200,000 and $750,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the Company owed $560,000 of
principal (comprised of $50,000 at 25% and $510,000 at 18%) and $141,208 of interest on the Bridge
Loans.

Table of Contents
From January through June 2010, the Company sold a total 42.30% share of its working interest in
the Panhandle Field Producing Property for $859,408 in cash. The Company utilized the sale proceeds
to repay $290,000 of Bridge Loan principal and $28,125 of Bridge Loan interest, with the remaining
proceeds applied towards general working capital purposes. Also during this period, the Company
transferred a 3.03% share of its working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property in
exchange for the reduction of Bridge Loan principal of $62,388; as part of this same transaction,
the Bridge Loan holder contributed their share of development funds for the recently acquired 3.03%
working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property via reductions of amounts due them from
the Company for Bridge Loan principal and accrued interest of $37,612 and $12,500, respectively.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company maintained a 29.67% working interest in the Panhandle Field

NOTE 7. DEBT RELATED PARTY
In March 2006, NYTEX Petroleum LLC entered into a $400,000 revolving credit facility (Facility)
with one of its founding members to be used for operational and working capital needs. Effective
with the execution of an amended letter agreement on August 25, 2008, the revolving nature of the
Facility was terminated, with the then unpaid principal balance of $295,000 on the Facility
effectively becoming a note payable to the founding member. The Facility continued to bear
interest, to be paid monthly, at 6% per annum, be secured by the assets of NYTEX Petroleum LLC (now
NYTEX Petroleum) and be personally guaranteed by NYTEX Petroleum LLCs two founding members.
Furthermore, effective with the execution of an amended letter agreement dated May 5, 2009,
principal and any unpaid interest on the note payable to the founding member are to be paid in full
upon completion of the Companys $5,850,000 private placement of common stock, which had not
occurred as of February 18, 2010. At that time the letter agreement was further amended, requiring
monthly principal payments of $3,000 plus interest for eighteen months beginning March 1, 2010 and
ending September 1, 2011. At the end of the eighteen-month period, the remaining principal balance
and any unpaid interest are due in a lump sum. There is no penalty for early payment of principal.
In addition, upon reaching a total of $6,000,000 in proceeds under the private placement offering,
five percent (5%) of any funds raised above $6,000,000 will be paid as additional principal at the
end of each quarter until such time that the note is paid in full.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had raised $5,933,102 under its private placement, and the amount
outstanding under the Facility was $189,000. In addition, during the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, interest expense related to the Facility totaled $5,760 and $6,853, respectively.

NOTE 8. EQUITY
In August 2008, the Company, with NYTEX Petroleum LLC as agent, initiated a private placement of
its common stock, offering 4,400,000 common shares at $1.00 per share along with a three-year
warrant exercisable at $0.50 per share. As of April 2009, the private placement offering was
expanded to $5,850,000 and was further expanded to $8,000,000 in February 2010. During the six
months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued a total of 182,400 common shares under this private
placement for net cash proceeds of $181,100, along with warrants to purchase up to 182,400 shares
of common stock. These warrants enable the holder to purchase shares of the Companys common stock
at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of three (3) years from the effective date of
the warrant.
In addition, effective January 31, 2010 when the Bridge Loans became due, the Company paid an
accommodation fee in the form of 118,750 shares of common stock to the providers of the Bridge
Loans.
A summary of the warrants granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had net losses of $571,460 and
$1,312,843, respectively. No benefit or provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the
uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated
net operating losses totaling $4,504,630. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire
in 2028 if not utilized. The Company has recorded net losses in each year since inception and
through June 30, 2010. Based upon all available objective evidence, including the Companys loss
history, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred assets will not be
fully realized. Therefore, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax
assets at June 30, 2010.
NOTE 10. OIL CONTAINMENT BOOM ACTIVITIES
On May 19, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into an Oil Containment Boom Rental Agreement (Simpson
Agreement) with Simpson Environmental Resources, Inc. (Simpson) to rent segments of oil
containment boom (Boom) to Simpson to be used in the Gulf of Mexico waters to contain the BP plc
(BP) global oil spill under Simpsons master service or rental agreements with general
contractors of BP, state governments or other entities. Under the Simpson Agreement, Simpson will
pay NYTEX Petroleum 100% of the rental payment amounts Simpson collects from the general
contractors (Contractor Payments) for the Boom until such time that NYTEX Petroleum has recovered
100% of its cost of the delivered Boom from said rental payments (referred to as Payout). After
Payout is achieved, subsequent Contractor Payments will be split 50% to Simpson and 50% to NYTEX
Petroleum for the remaining period that the Boom is in service under such rental contracts.
To fund the purchases of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum entered into Oil Containment Boom Purchase/Rental
Agreements (Participant Agreements) with outside participants to act as agent on behalf of the
participant to purchase Boom and rent it pursuant to the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The
Participant Agreements provide for the participant to receive 100% of the Contractor Payments
remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum until such time that the participant has recovered 100% of
their cost of the delivered Boom (referred to as Participant Payout). After Participant Payout
is achieved, subsequent Contractor Payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum will be split as
follows: 60% to the participant, 20% to NYTEX Petroleum, and 20% to DMBC, Inc., who facilitated the
transactions. As of June 30, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum had received $1,790,625 from participants under
Participant Agreements, had made payments towards rental Boom purchases totaling $1,005,303, and
transferred $678,710 of funds collected under Participant Agreements to the Purchaser Agreement
program (defined below) due to limited opportunities to purchase and deploy additional rental Boom.
NYTEX Petroleum also entered into Gulf Oil Spill Boom Sales Agreements (Purchaser Agreements)
with outside participants to purchase Boom and resell at a profit to buyers including, but not
limited to, coastal cities, counties, parishes and BP (collectively, the Boom Buyers) pursuant to
the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The Purchaser Agreements provide that immediately upon NYTEX
Petroleums receipt of funds for the sale of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum will remit to Purchaser 100% of
Purchasers purchase price of the Boom together with 40% of the profit, less shipping and handling
and insurance costs. As of June 30, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum had received $1,587,500 from
participants under Purchaser Agreements, transferred $678,710 of funds collected under Participant
Agreements to the Purchaser Agreement program as noted earlier, and had made payments towards Boom
purchases under the sales program totaling $1,920,350.
For each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded
administration fee revenue of $101,985 related to oil containment boom activities. Revenue
and accounts receivable associated with the oil containment boom activities are recorded net
of amounts paid or owed under the Participant Agreements and Purchaser Agreements. As such,
only the net fee retained or earned is recognized in the Companys consolidated balance sheet
as of June 30, 2010 and consolidated results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2010.
Subsequent to June 30, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into a formal sales arrangement with Simpson,
as discussed in Note 12.

Litigation
The Company may become involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, which are
routine to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that none of these actions,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 1, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum and Simpson entered into an Oil Spill Containment and Absorbent
Boom Sales Agreement (Boom Sales Agreement) to include the purchase of various sizes and types of
containment and absorbent Boom and to resell the Boom to the Boom Buyers. Simpson will source the
Boom products that meet BP specifications and, upon approval of each order by NYTEX Petroleum, will
ship direct from suppliers to the Boom Buyers or to Simpsons warehouse. Furthermore, Simpson
agrees that for any Boom which remains unsold after 30 days from being warehoused and upon receipt
of written notice from NYTEX Petroleum, then Simpson shall purchase the unsold Boom from NYTEX
Petroleum at the delivered price paid by NYTEX Petroleum, including warehousing, insurance, and
other costs incurred during this 30 day period.
From July 1 through July 13, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum collected an additional $822,000 under Purchaser
Agreements, at which time further participant contributions were not accepted. From July 1 through
August 16, 2010, an additional $953,800 of Boom was purchased under the sales program. And as of
August 16, 2010, Boom representing a delivered cost of $910,600 resided in the Simpson warehouse
waiting to be sold and was subject to repurchase by Simpson under the Boom Sales Agreement.
On July 22, 2010, the Company concluded the sale of 5,933,102 shares of its common stock for a
total purchase price of $5,933,102 pursuant to the private placement discussed in Note 8. In
addition, 220,550 shares were issued as an inducement to purchase the common stock. No shares were
issued under this private placement from July 1 through July 22, 2010.
On July 26, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved a one-for-two reverse stock split, to
be effective twenty days after a Schedule 14C Information Statement is mailed to all shareholders
of record as of July 26, 2010. The Company expects the effective date to be approximately
September 30, 2010.
Also on July 26, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the Companys
outstanding common stock, approved a resolution to raise up to $1,000,000 (with an overallotment
provision of up to $1,500,000) in the form of Convertible Debenture (Debenture) to fund the

Company Overview
The Companys strategy is to enhance value for our shareholders through the development of a
well-balanced portfolio of natural resource-based assets of oil and natural gas reserves and the
acquisition and consolidation of oilfield fluid service companies at discounted acquisition and
development costs.
NYTEX Energy Holdings, Inc. (NYTEX Energy) is an energy holding company consisting of two wholly
owned subsidiaries: NYTEX Petroleum, Inc. (NYTEX Petroleum), an exploration and production
company concentrating on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas reserves, and
Supreme Oilfield Services, Inc. (Supreme Oilfield), a holding company for the Companys
investment in Supreme Vacuum Services, Inc. (Supreme Vacuum). NYTEX Energy and subsidiaries are
collectively referred to herein as the Company.
NYTEX Petroleum LLC, originally formed on March 21, 2006, focused on fee-based administration and
management services related to oil and gas properties, while also engaging in the acquisition,
promotion of and participation in the drilling of crude oil and natural gas wells. NYTEX Petroleum
will continue its fee-based energy services for existing and future energy funds, with the planned
growth focusing primarily on exploration and production.
As such, beginning on August 26, 2008, the Company made a series of equity investments in Supreme
Vacuum, an oilfield fluid sales and transportation services
company in South Texas, after which the Company maintained an approximate 71.18% ownership interest
in Supreme Vacuum.
In mid-2008, NYTEX Petroleum purchased from Davis Operating a 20% non-operating working interest in
the Lakeview Shallow Prospect (Lakeview Shallow Prospect), a 12,000± acre coalbed methane
(CBM) gas field drilling project in southeastern Oklahoma, and participated in nine wells which
were drilled and completed for a net cost to NYTEX Petroleum of $819,000. The terms of the
participation agreement calls for NYTEX Petroleum to pay $60.00 per acre for each 160 acre unit on
which each gas well is drilled, and for NYTEX Petroleum to have the right to participate for a 20%
working interest in additional gas wells proposed by Davis Operating in the entire Lakeview Shallow
Prospect. The wells are currently producing an average of 230 MCF per day.
12
Table of Contents
In August 2009, the Company acquired 75% ownership in the Panhandle Field Producing Property, a 320
acre producing oil and gas property in the Texas panhandle consisting of 18 wells. As the new
operator, NYTEX Petroleum has begun to perform technically proven fracture stimulations known as
refracs on approximately 10 of the existing wells and has successfully completed the first refrac
and has put it into commercial oil production. NYTEX Petroleum also plans to drill 15 locations
beginning in the forth quarter of 2010 and 13 additional drilling locations targeting the Red Cave
formation at a depth of 2,400 feet beginning in mid 2011. The property lies within the vast
Panhandle Field that extends into Oklahoma and Kansas, which since its discovery in 1918, has
produced approximately 1.1 billion barrels of oil and 36 trillion cubic feet of gas, all at depths
above 3,000 feet. Currently 10 of the Companys wells are in production with an average combined
rate of 25 barrels of oil per day and 45 MCF of gas per day. As of
June 30, 2010, the Company
sold a total 45.33% share of its 75% working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property
and retained a 29.67% working interest.
On December 30, 2008, NYTEX Energys newly-formed and wholly owned subsidiary, Supreme Oilfield, a
Delaware corporation, completed its acquisition of 68.68% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of Supreme Vacuum Services, Inc. (Supreme Vacuum), an oilfield fluid sales and
transportation services company. On May 12, 2009, Supreme Oilfield acquired an additional 2.5% of
Supreme Vacuum, resulting in ownership of a total of 71.18% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of Supreme Vacuum.
However, contemporaneous with investments in Supreme Vacuum on December 30, 2008, Supreme Oilfield
executed a voting trust agreement and has transferred sufficient shares such that the sellers and
founding members of Supreme Vacuum would maintain the power to vote approximately 51% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Supreme Vacuum until such time that personal guarantees of the founding
members on certain debt liabilities incurred by Supreme Vacuum have been extinguished, giving the
Company an effective Supreme Vacuum voting percentage of approximately 49%. Accordingly, by virtue
of the shares transferred to the voting trust, the Companys powers as a majority shareholder are
restricted, with the powers to control Supreme Vacuums operations and assets remaining with the
founding members. As such, the Company does not control Supreme Vacuum. Since a majority-owned
subsidiary shall not be consolidated if control does not rest with the majority owner, the Company
therefore does not consolidate Supreme Vacuum and accounts for this investment under the equity
method. The carrying value of the Companys
investment in Supreme Vacuum was $1,344,056 at June 30, 2010.
On May 19, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum entered into an Oil Containment Boom Rental Agreement (Simpson
Agreement) with Simpson Environmental Resources, Inc. (Simpson) to rent segments of oil
containment boom (Boom) to Simpson to be used in the Gulf of Mexico waters to contain the BP plc
(BP) global oil spill under Simpsons master service or rental agreements with general
contractors of BP, state governments or other entities. Under the Simpson Agreement, Simpson will
pay NYTEX Petroleum 100% of the rental payment amounts Simpson collects from the general
contractors (Contractor Payments) for the Boom until such time that NYTEX Petroleum has recovered
100% of its cost of the delivered Boom from said rental payments (referred to as Payout). After
Payout is achieved, subsequent Contractor Payments will be split 50% to Simpson and 50% to NYTEX
Petroleum for the remaining period that the Boom is in service under such rental contracts.
To fund the purchases of Boom, NYTEX Petroleum entered into Oil Containment Boom Purchase/Rental
Agreements (Participant Agreements) with outside participants to act as agent on behalf of the
participant to purchase Boom and rent it pursuant to the terms of the Simpson Agreement. The
Participant Agreements provide for the participant to receive 100% of the Contractor Payments
remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum until such time that the participant has recovered 100% of
their cost of the delivered Boom (referred to as Participant Payout). After Participant Payout
is achieved, subsequent Contractor Payments remitted by Simpson to NYTEX Petroleum will be split as
follows: 60% to the participant, 20% to NYTEX Petroleum, and 20% to DMBC, Inc., who facilitated the
transactions. As of June 30, 2010, NYTEX Petroleum had received $1,790,625 from participants under
Participant Agreements, had made payments towards rental Boom purchases totaling $1,005,303, and
transferred $678,710 of funds collected under Participant Agreements to the Purchaser Agreement
program due to limited opportunities to purchase and deploy additional rental Boom.

Revenues
increased $119,061, or 350%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 over the comparable
period in 2009 primarily due to an increase in revenues from crude oil and natural gas sales of
$20,252 and Gulf Coast Rental Boom/Sales Boom income of $101,985, offsetting decreases in other
revenue of accounting and management fees of $7,785. This decrease was attributable to a shift in
the Companys business strategy towards building revenue-producing assets through proved properties
and producing operations with less reliance upon fees earned for managing investment projects
within the oil and gas industry.
Operating costs, excluding depletion and depreciation, decreased $5,189, or 18%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 over the comparable period in 2009 primarily due to a slight decrease in
lease operating expenses of $2,635 and dry hole cost of $2,554.
Depletion and depreciation decreased $8,059, or 57%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 over
the comparable period in 2009 primarily due to the partial sale of the Companys interest in the
Panhandle Field Producing Property.
General
and administrative, excluding depletion and depreciation, decreased $62,348, or 11%, for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to a overall reduction in
salaries of $72,017 with a slight increase in third party consulting and geological services
totaling $18,050, the result of the Companys focus on maintaining existing properties in 2010 as
opposed to the discovery of new properties as in 2009.
Gain
on sale of assets increased $284,903 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
2009, resulting from the Companys sale of a portion of its interest in the Panhandle Field
Producing Property acquired in August 2009.
Other expense, net decreased $84,430, or 35%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared
to 2009 primarily due to a decrease in the Companys proportionate share of the losses in its
unconsolidated subsidiary, Supreme Vacuum, of $115,936. Offsetting this decrease, the Company
recognized interest expense of $31,647 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to the
Bridge Loan agreements. The Bridge Loans were not outstanding during the comparable period in
2009.

decreased 15,617, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 over the comparable period
in 2009 primarily due to a decrease in administration fees of $77,524 and accounting and management
fees of $18,088. This decrease was attributable to a shift in the Companys business strategy
towards building revenue-producing assets through proved properties and producing operations with
less reliance upon fees earned for managing investment projects within the oil and gas industry.

2009.
Depletion and depreciation decreased $414, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 over the

Panhandle Field Producing Property.
General and administrative, excluding depletion and depreciation, decreased $185,829, or 16%, for

properties in 2010 as opposed to the discovery of new properties as in 2009, also is a reduction in
overall salaries of $63,078 and miscellaneous general and administrative expenses of $10,929.
Gain on sale of assets increased $578,873 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
2009, resulting from the Companys sale of a portion of its interest in the Panhandle Field
Producing Property acquired in August 2009.
Other
expenses, net decreased $18,537, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 over the
comparable period in 2009 primarily due to a decrease in the Companys proportionate share of the
losses in its unconsolidated subsidiary, Supreme Vacuum, of $105,557. The net loss attributable to
the Companys interest in Supreme Vacuum was $235,103 at June 30, 2010 as compared to $349,422 at
June 30, 2009. Offsetting this decrease, the Company recognized interest expense of $87,701 for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the Bridge Loan agreements. The Bridge Loans were
not outstanding during the comparable period in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys working capital needs have historically been satisfied through equity investments
from private investors and more recently through the sale of assets. Historically, the primary use
of cash for the Company has been to pay for investments such as Supreme Vacuum, the Lakeview
Shallow Prospect and the Panhandle Field Producing Property as well as general working capital
requirements.

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant net losses from operations, with an
accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2010 of $7,864,614. Currently, we do not have an established
source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs. We cannot be certain that our existing
sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements. To meet our present and
future liquidity requirements, we are continuing to seek additional funding through private
placements, sales of assets, conversion of payables into common stock, collections on accounts
receivable, and through additional acquisitions that have sufficient cash flow to fund subsidiary
operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or
equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either
the short-term or the long-term. If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of
operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $238,311, and working capital
(measured by current assets less current liabilities) at June 30, 2010 was a deficit of $1,672,773.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company raised an additional $181,100 net of
expenses through the sale of 182,400 shares of common stock and $859,408 through the sale of a
portion of its interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property. These proceeds were used for
general working capital purposes and the repayment of notes payable.
In March 2006, NYTEX Petroleum LLC entered into a $400,000 revolving credit facility (Facility)
with one of its founding members to be used for operational and working capital needs. In August
2008, the revolving nature of the Facility was terminated, with the then unpaid principal balance
of $295,000 on the Facility effectively becoming a note payable to the non-executive founding
member. The Facility continued to bear interest, to be paid monthly, at 6% per annum, be secured by
the assets of NYTEX Petroleum LLC (now NYTEX Petroleum) and be personally guaranteed by NYTEX
Petroleum LLCs two founding members. In May 2009, the Facility was further amended pursuant to a
letter agreement such that principal and any unpaid interest on the note payable to the
non-executive founding member are to be paid in full upon completion of the Companys $5,850,000
private placement of common stock, which had not occurred as of February 18, 2010. At that time the
letter agreement was further amended, requiring monthly principal payments of $3,000 plus interest
for eighteen months beginning March 1, 2010 and ending September 1, 2011. At the end of the
eighteen-month period, the remaining principal balance and any unpaid interest are due in a lump
sum. There is no penalty for early payment of principal. In addition, upon reaching a total of
$6,000,000 in proceeds under the private placement offering, five percent (5%) of any funds raised
above $6,000,000 will be paid as additional principal at the end of each quarter until such time
that the note is paid in full. As of June 30, 2010, the Company terminated this private placement
having raised $5,933,102, and the amount outstanding under the Facility
was $189,000. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has no other available credit facility.
In July 2009, the Company entered into various Bridge Loans totaling $950,000, the proceeds of
which were used for the acquisition of the Panhandle Field Producing Property, its initial
development costs and working capital purposes. The Bridge Loans matured on January 31, 2010, with
12.5% cash interest for the six-month period, or 25% per annum, payable at maturity. As of August
23, 2010, the Companys agreement with the Bridge Loan holders set the maturity date of principal and
interest up to September 1, 2010, with no penalties for prepayment. Interest is payable at rates of
25% and 18% per annum on original Bridge Loan principal of $200,000 and $750,000, respectively. As
of June 30, 2010, the Company owed $560,000 of principal (comprised of $50,000 at 25% and $510,000
at 18%) and $141,208 of interest on the Bridge Loans.
From January through June 2010, the Company sold a total 42.30% share of its working interest in
the Panhandle Field Producing Property for $859,408 in cash. The Company utilized the sale proceeds
to repay $290,000 of Bridge Loan principal and $28,125 of Bridge Loan interest, with the remaining
proceeds applied towards general working capital purposes. Also during this period, the Company
transferred a 3.03% share of its working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property in
exchange for the reduction of Bridge Loan principal of $62,388; as part of this same transaction,
the Bridge Loan holder contributed their share of development funds for the recently acquired 3.03%
working interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property via reductions of amounts due them from
the Company for Bridge Loan principal and accrued interest of $37,612 and $12,500, respectively.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company maintained a 29.67% working interest in the Panhandle Field
Producing Property.
In April and June 2010, the Company also entered into short-term unsecured advance agreements with an
unrelated party, utilizing the funds for operational and working capital purposes. As of June 30,
2010, the Company had borrowed $180,000, $100,000 of which was outstanding at June 30, 2010, interest payable at a rate of 18% per annum, with
principal and interest payments beginning in August 2010 and due in full on September 15, 2010.

The Company experienced an improvement in net cash used in operating activities of $549,058 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. This improvement was
primarily driven by a decrease in net loss of $741,383, and when comparing the 2010 change to that
of the prior period, increases in other liabilities of $807,391 and accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $261,536, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash operating charges of $670,870. The
change in other liabilities of $528,935 in the 2010 period was primarily due to a $249,036 increase
in deferred revenue and a $330,011 increase in wells in progress, a liability for funds held on
behalf of outside investors in oil and gas projects the Company administers and are to be paid to
the project operator as capital expenditures are billed by the operator, versus decreases in wells
in progress of $104,718 and deferred revenue of $173,708 in the comparable 2009 period as projects
within the Companys project administration business were being worked and completed in 2009. The
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses during 2010 primarily relates to obligations
related to the oil containment boom activities. The decrease in non-cash operating charges was
primarily the result of recording a gain on the sale of assets of $578,873 during the 2010 period.
Net cash provided by investing activities primarily consists of investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries, capital expenditures for proved properties for the Companys oil and gas portfolio
and proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the
Company invested $105,500 in unconsolidated subsidiaries, namely Supreme Vacuum, representing the
Companys proportionate share of capital calls, received proceeds of $859,408 from the sale of a
portion of its interest in the Panhandle Field Producing Property, and made minimal investments in
proved oil and gas properties due to its focus on maintaining existing properties in 2010 as
opposed to the discovery of new properties as in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the
Company invested $223,818 in unconsolidated subsidiaries and made capital expenditures of $161,371
primarily related to the development of the Lakeview Shallow Prospect. The investment in
unconsolidated subsidiaries represented investments of $190,818 in Supreme Vacuum, for the
Companys proportionate share of capital expenditures related to the construction of a mud mixing
plant as well as additional equity interests, and $33,000 in a limited partnership operating a
salt-water disposal facility.
Net cash used in financing activities primarily consists of proceeds received from the issuance of
common stock and notes payable offset by repayments of debt. For the six months ended June 30,
2010, the Company received $181,100 in equity sale proceeds and $180,000 under short-term unsecured
advances, offset by payments of $290,000 for Bridge Loan principal and $80,000 towards short-term
unsecured advances. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received $1,413,000 in
equity sale proceeds, partially offset by a $100,000 payment on its debt with a related party.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
material current or future effect on its financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Companys critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying
them, are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements which accompany the
consolidated financial statements included in the Companys report on Form 10-12G/A filed with the
SEC on August 12, 2010. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the
Company reviews its estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts
and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The most significant estimates
relate to revenue recognition, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and the assessment of
impairment of long-lived assets and oil and gas properties. Actual results could differ from
estimates under different assumptions and conditions, and such results may affect income, financial
position or cash flows.

Table of Contents
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and
development costs. Under this method of accounting, all property acquisition costs and costs of
exploratory wells are capitalized when incurred, pending determination of whether additional proved
reserves are found. If an exploratory well does not find additional reserves, the costs of
drilling the well are charged to expense. The costs of development wells, whether productive or
nonproductive, are capitalized.
Geological and geophysical costs on exploratory prospects and the costs of carrying and retaining
unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
held and used is generally measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If it is determined that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is the
estimated value at which the asset could be bought or sold in a transaction between willing
parties. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value
calculations are based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, prices and costs,
considering all available information at the date of the impairment review.
Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The Company utilizes the equity method to account for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and
financial policies. The Company records equity method investments at cost and adjusts for the
Companys proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the unconsolidated subsidiaries. The
Company records losses in its unconsolidated subsidiaries up to the amount of the investment plus
advances and loans made to the unconsolidated subsidiaries and financial guarantees made on behalf
of the unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues for promoting certain oil and gas projects, including oil
containment boom activities, and administering the ownership interests of investors in those
projects. Administration fees are deferred on the balance sheet as the project is undertaken. As
the Company performs its administration services, deferred administration fees are recognized as
revenue when each discrete phase of a project is completed and the services have been completed.
The Company records revenues from the sales of natural gas and crude oil when product delivery
occurs and title and risk of loss pass to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collection is reasonably assured.
The Company also provides certain accounting and management services to other companies and
investment funds within the oil and gas industry. Revenues are recognized for such services as
they are performed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Companys
estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could
realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The estimated fair
values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their carrying
amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt
approximates market value due to the expected short-term nature of the obligations, as well as the
use of market interest rates relative to notes payable.
Wells in Progress
The Company records a liability for funds held on behalf of outside investors in oil and gas
exploration projects, which are to be paid to the project operator as capital expenditures are
billed. The liability is reduced as payments are made by the Company on behalf of those outside
investors to the operator of the project.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the Company are accounted for under the liability method with deferred tax assets
and liabilities recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed or
settled. Under the liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company classifies any interest recognized on an
underpayment of income taxes as interest expense and classifies any statutory penalties recognized
on a tax position taken as general and administrative expense. There was no interest or general and
administrative expense accrued or recognized related to income taxes for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material
effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30,
2010, or during prior periods applicable under this guidance.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Not required under Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
MANAGEMENTS EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule
13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of June 30, 2010. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on their evaluation, the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that, as a result of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable
assurance level and are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information it is
required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its
management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure:
i) | The Company did not maintain sufficient personnel with an
appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience,
and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with its
complexity and its financial accounting and reporting
requirements. The Company has limited experience in the areas
of financial reporting and disclosure controls and
procedures. Also, the Company did not have an independent audit
committee. As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the
financial reporting process and there is a reasonable
possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated
financial statements, including disclosures, will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis; and |
||
ii) | Due to its small staff, the Company did not have a proper
segregation of duties in certain areas of its financial reporting
process. The areas where the Company has a lack of segregation of
duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of
purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment.
This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a
reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the
consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. |
Changes to Internal Controls and Procedures Over Financial Reporting
The Company regularly reviews its systems of internal control over financial reporting and makes
changes to its processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while attempting
to ensure that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include
such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, expanding
accounting personnel and migrating processes. There were no changes in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its
internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Remediation Plans
The Company is committed to improving its financial organization. As part of this commitment, the
Company will look to increase its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the
accounting function by the end of 2010 to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. In
addition, when funds are available, which we expect to occur by the end of 2010, we will hire
additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our
current accounting personnel to enhance our internal controls. At the end of June, 2010, the
Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer who brings both his expertise and knowledge needed to
achieve the goals of our Company.
We currently engage an outside consulting firm to assist us in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. As necessary, we will engage consultants in the future in order to ensure
proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.
Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting
expertise will remedy the material weakness of insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of
technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate
with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.
Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and
knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result
in effective internal control over financial reporting as well as disclosure controls. Due to the
fact that our internal accounting staff consists solely of a Chief Financial Officer and a
Controller, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more
checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross
training needed to support us if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. We believe
this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.
