AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the
Partners
Pure Gas
Partners, L.P.
San
Antonio, Texas
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pure Gas Partners, L.P.
and its subsidiaries (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the
related consolidated statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above presently
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pure Gas Partners,
L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

PURE GAS
PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2009 and 2008
Note A - Partnership
Organization and Nature of Operations
Partnership
Organization
Pure Gas
Partners, L.P., (the Partnership) is a Texas limited partnership that was formed
in 2002 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pure Energy
Group, Inc., a Texas corporation, and to continue to acquire, develop, manage,
lease and operate oil and gas properties. The Partnership owns a 94.456% limited
partner interest in Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (PGP II), a Texas limited
partnership formed in 2004, with .01 % general partner interest owned by Pure
Energy Group, Inc. The remaining 5.534% interest is owned by various others,
including Annendaris Holdings, who owns 3.617% (See Note M).
Nature
of Operations
The
Partnership is an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the
exploration, development, exploitation, and acquisition of natural gas and oil
reserves in North America. The Partnership's primary area of focus is the State
of New Mexico, particularly southeastern New Mexico.
Note B - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Accounting
The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
CodificationTM (the Codification or ASC)
The
Codification is now the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by
the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. The Codification became effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009 and superseded all previously existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative.
Commencing with the year ended December 31, 2009, all references to GAAP now use
the specific Codification Topic or Section rather than prior accounting and
reporting standards. The Codification did not change existing GAAP and,
therefore, did not affect the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

PURE GAS
PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2009 and 2008
Note B - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, Pure
Energy Group, Inc., and Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In
December 2007, ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, was
modified to provide guidance for the accounting and reporting of noncontrolling
interests, changes in controlling interests, and the deconsolidation of
subsidiaries. The adoption of the provisions of Topic 810, effective January 1,
2009, did not affect the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.
Oil
and Gas Properties
The
Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to
drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are
capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves,
geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties are expensed.
Unproved
oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically
assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of
impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized costs of producing
oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are
depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
On the
sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost, and
related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated
from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the
retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or
loss recognized in income.
On the
sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent,
gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of
any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a
partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated
as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PURE GAS
PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2009 and 2008
Note B - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Accounts
Receivable - Production
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due from customers for oil and gas sales and are
considered
fully collectible by the Partnership as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The
Partnership determines when receivables are past due based on how recently
payments have been received.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Partnership recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in
producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those
wells.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property,
plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office furniture and
equipment is provided using the straight-line method and the Modified
Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) based on estimated useful lives ranging
from three to 15 years. These methods do not materially differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. Depreciation expense was $38,271 and $11,368 for
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Long-Lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for
impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may not be
recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or
disposed of other
than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived
assets to be disposed
of by sale are reported at the lower of the asset's carrying amount or fair
value less cost to
sell.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Partnership accounts for asset retirement obligations under the provisions of
ASC 410, Asset
Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which provides for an asset and
liability approach to accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). Under
this method, when legal obligations for dismantlement and abandonment costs,
excluding salvage values, are incurred, a liability is recorded at fair value
and the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased.
Accretion of liability is recognized each period using the interest method of
allocation and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the
related asset. The Partnership had no asset retirement obligations as of
December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
December
31, 2009 and 2008
Note B - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income
Taxes
The
Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no income tax provision has been included in the financial
statements related to the income of the partnership.
The
Partnership's subsidiary, Pure Energy Group, Inc., is a taxable corporation for
which an income tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial
statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the
period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities (See Note L).
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and
related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
assumptions. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and gas reserves used
in calculating depletion of proved oil and natural gas properties.
Fair
Value Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures. Topic
820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under
GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of
Topic 820 became effective for annual financial periods beginning after November
15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted Topic 820, with the
exceptions allowed under the modification described below. The adoption of Topic
820 did not affect the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.
In
February 2008, the FASB modified Topic 820, which delayed the effective date for
applying fair value disclosures for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. Effective January 1, 2009, the
Partnership adopted this modification of Topic 820, which did not affect the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Financial
Instruments
The
Partnership's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of
ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments
as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, except for long-term,
fixed-rate debt, approximates fair value. The Partnership estimates the fair
value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow
analysis based on the Partnership's current borrowing rates for similar types of
debt.
Subsequent
Events
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events,
which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure
of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular,
guidance was provided regarding (i) the period after the balance
sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should
evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after
the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occur
after the balance sheet date. The provisions of Topic 855 became
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June
15, 2009. Effective December 31, 2009, the Partnership adopted Topic 855. The
adoption of Topic 855 did not affect the Partnership's financial position or
results of operations but did result in additional disclosure, which is provided
in Note O.
Note C - Related Party
Transactions
The
Partnership paid $171,400 and $186,000 in consulting fees in 2009 and 2008,
respectively, to BDR Consulting, Inc. (BDR), a member of CCJ/BDR Investments,
L.L.C., who owns a combined 69.072% limited partner interest in the Partnership.
The president of BDR serves on the Board of Directors and is the Chief Executive
Officer of Pure Energy Group, Inc. In addition, the Partnership rents office
space from BDR on a month-to-month basis. The Partnership paid BDR $24,000 in
rental fees in 2009 and 2008.
The
Partnership has a development contract with Aztec Energy Partners I, L.P.
(Aztec), whereby Aztec agreed to fund 100% of costs through completion on
certain wells to be drilled in two counties in New Mexico. On certain wells, the
Partnership owns a working interest. On those wells, Aztec will receive working
interest and net revenue interest. Certain partners in Aztec are also indirect
limited partners and members of the Board of Directors of the Partnership and
its subsidiaries. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the
Partnership paid Aztec $287,318 and $1,701,066, respectively, for Aztec's share
of well income, net of related well costs, based on production. As of December
31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership had a net payable to Aztec of $64,815 and
$50,957, respectively.

Note E - Creditors
Payable
In 2002,
the prior owner of Pure Energy Group, Inc. filed a petition for reorganization
with the United States Bankruptcy Court. A Plan of Reorganization was
filed, confirmed and funded by the current owners. According to the
Plan of Reorganization, three other creditors are to receive a
combined amount of approximately $3,000,000 for their claims out of future net
revenues of Pure Energy Group, Inc. (defined as revenues from
producing wells net of lease operating expenses and other direct costs). The
amount of the payments to the three creditors are to be computed by
multiplying the net revenues on an annual basis by seven percent (7%),
beginning at the end of the third year after confirmation of the Plan
of Reorganization, with subsequent payments being made annually
thereafter until the three creditors are paid in full. During
2003, two of these creditors reduced the amount of debt owed to them
by $150,000 each since Pure Energy Group, Inc., at the creditors'
requests, paid a third party in the amount of $300,000 on their
behalf.

The
amounts owed to creditors under the Plan of Reorganization will be paid annually
in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization as described above. The net
revenue distribution due to creditors in 2010 based on 2009 net revenues is
$162,500 and is presented as a current liability. The net revenue to creditors
in 2009 based on 2008 net revenues was $330,133 and was presented as a current
liability. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the creditors' payable balance was
$1,929,200 and $2,259,333, respectively.
Note F - Operating
Leases
During
2009 and 2008, the Partnership had two non-cancelable operating leases for
office space, one expiring in June 2014 and one that expired in June 2009. As of
December 31, 2009, the remaining future minimum lease payments under the
existing lease are as follows:

expense related to these leases for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
was $40,426 and $37,200, respectively.
Note G - Major
Customers
During
2009 and 2008, the Partnership received revenue from sales to major customers
which represented 82% and 88%, respectively, of total sales. These major
customers were Edge Petroleum Corporation, Chisos, Ltd., ConocoPhillips, Plains
Marketing, and Mewbourne Oil Company during 2009 and Edge Petroleum Corporation,
Chisos, Ltd., Agave Energy Company, Mewbourne Oil Company, and Read and Stevens,
Inc. during 2008.
In the
exploration, development, and production business, production is normally sold
to relatively
few customers. Substantially all of the Partnership's customers are concentrated
in the oil and
gas industry and revenue can be materially affected by current economic
conditions and the price
of certain commodities such as natural gas and crude oil, the cost of which is
passed through
to the customer. However, based on current demand for natural gas and crude oil
and the fact
that alternate purchasers are readily available, management believes that the
loss of any major
purchasers would not have a long-term material adverse effect on
operations.

Note H - Commitments and
Contingencies
The
Partnership is subject to federal and state laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment. Environmental risk is inherent to oil and natural
gas operations and the Partnership could be subject to environmental cleanup and
enforcement actions. The Partnership manages this environmental risk through
appropriate environmental policies and practices to minimize the impact to the
Partnership.
From time
to time, the Partnership is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. The Partnership is not currently a party to any
proceeding that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's financial condition, results of operation or cash
flows.
Note I -
Goodwill
Goodwill
is assigned to the Partnership as a result of the acquisition in 2002 of all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Pure Energy Group, Inc.
This asset is reviewed annually for possible impairment resulting
from the occurrence of events or circumstances that indicate
the Partnership's carrying amount is greater than its fair value.
Management has determined that no additional impairment has occurred
during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Accordingly,
no adjustment for impairment has been recorded.
Note J - Concentration of
Credit Risk
The
Partnership maintains cash balances at three financial institutions. Account
balances at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000, with the exception of
the euro-dollar deposit account held at Bank No. 1, which had a bank balance of
$0 and $501,591 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December

firms provides supplemental coverage in excess of SIPC through an insurance
policy that covers cash balances up to $900,000. The cash balance at the other
investment brokerage firm is held in a FDIC-Insured Deposit Account and is also
protected by a supplemental coverage insurance policy that covers cash balances
up to $124,500,000. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership's cash
balance with these investment brokerage firms did not exceed the combined
coverage.

Note L - Federal Income Tax
(Continued)
Deferred
tax assets increased by $25,138 to $77,848 at December 31, 2009 due to the
current year generation of loss carryforwards that can be used to
offset future taxable income. At December 31, 2008, deferred tax
assets decreased by $179,989 to $52,710 due to the utilization of
loss carryforwards to offset the 2008 taxable income. However, as of December
31, 2009 and 2008, the deferred tax assets have been fully allowed
for due to the continued uncertainty of whether the tax benefits will
ever be realized. The deferred tax assets balance at December
31, 2008 was adjusted to actual per the 2008 income tax return. As
the deferred tax assets are fully allowed for due to the reason
mentioned above, this adjustment had no effect on prior year
net income.
As of
December 31, 2009, Pure Energy Group, Inc. had net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards totaling $518,987 that may be used to offset future taxable
income. These NOL carryforwards expire as follows:

Note M - Series B
Convertible Preferred Partnership Interest
In
October 2006, PGP II, a subsidiary of the Partnership, issued Series B
Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests (the Interests) to Armendaris
Holdings, LLC (Anmendaris) for a 3.617% ownership interest in PGP II.
Armendaris, an Arkansas limited liability company, was formed solely for the
purpose of acquiring the Interests from PGP II. The Interests were sold to
Armendaris to permit PGP II to meet certain funding obligations and provide
working capital. Armendaris is owned by investors who are also partners of the
Partnership.
Under the
terms of the funding agreement, Armendaris acquired rights to 150 units in
exchange for its agreement to fund up to $1,500,000 over the 90 days following
the execution of the agreement. Armendaris made an initial funding of
$1,000,000 in October 2006 for 100 units at $10,000 per unit. During
2007, Armendaris contributed $85,000 for an additional 17 units
at $5000 per unit. The Interests have a preferential right for return
of the invested principal from cash flow of PGP II and also a
preferential right in the case of liquidation or dissolution of
PGP II. The Interests do not have any dividend preference or any
preferential stated return, interest rate, or dividend that accrues
or is payable, with respect to the units purchased. The Interests
are callable, at the option of PGP II, at anytime between 90 days
following drilling completion of a core test well on the Armendaris
Ranch and September 30, 2010, at 100% of the face value of the
funding. At the time of the call, Armendaris has the option to either (1) accept
cash payment for the redemption of the Interests or (2) elect to
surrender the Interests in exchange for undivided ownership interest
in Armendaris Ranch mineral rights. If Option 2 is selected,
an undivided twenty-five percent (25%) interest in 88,000 acres of
mineral rights in New Mexico, known as the Armendaris Ranch, will be
transferred and conveyed to Armendaris.

Any time
after September 30, 2010, Armendaris has the option to either (1) convert the
Interests into Series A Limited Partnership Interest of PGP II at a valuation of
$30,000,000 or (2) cause PGP II to redeem the Interests in exchange for the
twenty-five (25%) undivided interest in Armendaris Ranch mineral rights
discussed in the above paragraph.
In
addition to the conversion options noted above, the units also have an
anti-dilution protection provision built in to the conversion price in the event
PGP II issues additional equity units at a valuation of less than
$30,000,000.
Note N - Sale of Oil and Gas
Properties
During
2008, the Partnership sold a substantial portion of their assets related to the
Red Lake and Bitterlake acreage and wells for a total of $4,949,756, which
resulted in a gain of $3,419,646.

Events
The
Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through May 14, 2010, the date which
