Ness Energy CEO; New Domestic and Israeli Update
WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./ NETANYA, ISRAEL: October 24,
2003, 2003/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) announced its President and CEO is
now advising the Board of Directors, from corporate headquarters,
just west of Dallas, Texas, of substantial new developments in new
domestic and Israeli pursuits, including new information
concerning additional well projects, property acquisitions,
business acquisitions, and funding negotiations.
One Body; Communication Obligation
Starting this past June, President Stephens has reported to the
Board, and to others through Press Releases, his update of Company
business pursuits, including the development of a New Outlook for
Ness. A new update is now being reported, with tremendous
results being accomplished since June.
According to President Stephens, "There are many callings to
serve God, including the many ministries, but there is one body.
Ness has a calling to pursue the vision of locating an abundant
supply of oil and gas in Israel. Ness shareholders, supporters,
and advisors have joined, and are joining together, as one body,
or family, in the pursuit of this goal. Communication to the Ness
family is an obligation I have determined to burden. Where many
CEO's are preoccupied with only the act of making money, they
neglect communication with supporters. I have seen the
efforts, and most of all prayers, of our faithful supporters,
rally around us in many ways, one such result is the excellent
stock performance of recent months. We will not only continue to
stay in contact with the Ness family.. I intend to increase
communication in the days ahead as we approach, what I believe,
will be a most joyous holiday season for our shareholders.. I want
to end the year, as a testimony to our hard work, with substantial
results. This in turn, gives us an even stronger foundation for
the New Year."
He further stated, "Be ready, be aware and be involved. news is
pending... soon to be released and forthcoming as it
develops."
Additional Well Projects And Acquisitions
According to President Stephens, "People are going to be
surprised as to the number of well acquisitions and new projects,
either reworking wellbores or new well drilling that is in
progress or being readied for start up. Time spent operating our
oil and gas public company, and undertaking multiple opportunities
now leading to negotiations with many Wall Street firms, prevents
us from keeping count of our blessings or rather, increase in
value which we will leave that to the accountants and those who
feel the need. We are moving at such a fast pace by adding
on projects, prospects, new wells, leases and production, that our
time has been limited. We will take time to add up where we are at
year-end. We are turning Ness into a viable production company,
while building, what we hope will be, a small treasure to be used
to go after the bigger one, Oil and Gas in Israel." Ness will
shortly release news on rework results and multiple well projects
now in operation.
Property Acquisition
Ness is undertaking numerous property acquisitions, which
supply, in summary, substantial acreage for additional well
projects. Ness expects to increase cash flow, part of the New
Outlook, from such projects and future ones. He
further stated, "I believe cash flow from operations will give us
the resources needed for what we believe will be one of the
largest Israeli oil and gas exploration efforts of all time by any
company. Property rights are needed for exploration, and
development of future oil and gas reserves, which will become a
financial force pressing us forward in Israel."
Apart from domestic efforts, Ness is closer to announcing what
may be a combination property/business acquisition in Israel, as
negotiations have now entered contract preparation stages. This
will be a major Israeli acquisition and all efforts are being made
to close the transaction.
Business Acquisitions
We believe acquiring industry related businesses is beneficial
in so many ways. We are closing and negotiating several planned
industry related business acquisitions to supply cash flow and
equipment and take control of other owner held benefits. These
acquisitions are more cost effective from a financial and time
standpoint, than if we were to try and build these companies from
scratch. Therefore, with careful planning, based on the advice of
professional advisors, we hope to announce some really exciting
news that bring increased shareholder value to the Ness family
table, as well as more tools for operational needs. Ness is in the
final contract stage on some of these opportunities.
Funding Negotiations and Recent Events
"It is hard, " according to President Stephens, " to view our
current financial negotiations independent of recent
accomplishments, (such as our new status of being litigation free,
our improved financial definition by the accountants evident by
the removal of the going concern limitation, and the increased
strength and performance of Ness stock). Wall Street has
taken note, and if it were not for our need to focus on oil and
gas, all of our time could be spent on efforts reviewing the
numerous funding deals on the table right now. Though we did not
go to New York City this week, we should be on Wall Street the
next week to ten days, to pick and complete, out of the multiple
opportunities presented to us.. the better deals... the ones that
make sense for Ness."
Other News
In addition to the above, Management is updating additional
plans involving joint venture efforts on well projects, and other
business pursuits. Also, this week involves the biggest use of
equipment and labor in Ness history with the rework of the Lester
B #1. This well is located in the heart of our 6000+ acre lease
position in Parker County, Texas. Rework efforts are currently
underway, with news to be released the early part of next
week. As noted, a pending Israeli acquisition has now
entered into the final contract negotiation stage. The final draft
being prepared, has prompted the visit, from Israel of Ness' top
Israeli consultant to insure that nothing is left in question due
to content, interpretation from Hebrew to English, or intent. On a
side note: Mary Gene Stephens has just returned from South Africa,
where progress was made to distribute the proceeds of the recent
Hayseed Stephens Memorial Golf Tournament (sponsored by Ness), for
the initial phase of construction for the Agape Way Bible School
and Training Center. Mrs. Stephens has reported that the trip went
exceptionally well, with Mrs. Stephens being received, as a
sister, by His Majesty, King Goodwill, King of the Zulu Nation,
and Chief Minister Mognasutu Butheleizi. Plans are underway for
construction to start immediately.
About Ness-The Vision
The current business of the Company is focused upon development
and execution of oil and gas exploration plans with a focus both
on pursuits in the oil rich State of Texas, and also in the Middle
East, specifically Israel. Ness believes that Israel is "A place
where science and The Bible shake hands" and that Ness will
achieve the vision of the location and recovery of an abundant
source of oil and gas in Israel, to supply Israel and the
Christian communities with supernatural wealth.
