Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $251,223,000 compared to $242,922,000 at December 31, 2013.
The decrease in net income was principally due to an increase in realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments partially offset by increases in oil and gas sales and field service income and a first quarter 2014 gain on the sale of non-essential oil and gas interests as well as related decreases in income tax provisions.
Oil and gas production and the average prices received (excluding gains and losses from derivatives) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

This Report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes", "projects" and "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and are subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. Actual results and outcomes may vary materially from what is expressed or forecast in such statements due to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the possibility of drilling cost overruns and technical difficulties, volatility of oil and gas prices, competition, risks inherent in the Company's oil and gas operations, the inexact nature of interpretation of seismic and other geological and geophysical data, imprecision of reserve estimates, and the Company's ability to replace and expand oil and gas reserves. Accordingly, stockholders and potential investors are cautioned that certain events or circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
