AMENDED DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

I. INTRODUCTION

Rowe Oil Properties Power Well Service, LLC, (the “Debtor”), filed a voluntary
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (The
“Bankruptcy Code”) on July 27, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma (the “Court”). The Debtor
originally filed this case as having both possession and operational control of the
company, however, on March 29, 2010 Karen Carden Walsh (the “Trustee”) was
appointed Chapter 11 trustee. While the Debtor is the proponent of this plan, the trustee
has reviewed and approved the plan as filed subject to the agreed amendments as ordered
on May 26, 2010.

This Amended Disclosure Statement has been prepared by the Debtor. This
Amended Disclosure Statement is distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 1125
of the Bankruptcy Code which require that there be submitted to holders of Claims against
and Interest in the Debtor, a copy of the plan and a written Amended Disclosure Statement
containing information adequate to enable Creditors and other interested parties to make
an intelligent decision regarding the Plan.

After review of its business operations and reorganization alternatives, the Debtor
has concluded that in order to maximize value for Creditors and Interest holders they will
be best served by liquidation of all assets through a Chapter 11 Liquidation Plan.

Please read this Amended Disclosure Statement and the Plan carefully and follow
the instructions set forth below to vote on the Plan. The Debtor believes that the Plan
provides the best recoveries possible for the holders of Claims against the Debtor and
strongly recommends that you vote to accept the Plan.

THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S APPROVAL OF THIS DISCLOSURE


STATEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE EITHER A GUARANTY OF THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN
OR AN ENDORSEMENT OF THE PLAN BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

B. The Confirmation Hearing.

The Bankruptcy Court has set the 9th day of February, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., United
States Bankruptcy Court, 111 W. 4th Street, Okmulgee, Oklahoma 74447, as the date, time
and location for the hearing on the acceptance and confirmation of the Plan.

A Creditor or Interest holder, in order to be able to vote on the Plan, must have
filed a Proof of Claim or Interest on or before the Bar Date of November 29, 2009.

C. Voting Requirements for Confirmation.

As a Creditor or Interest holder, your vote is important. The Plan can be


confirmed by the Court if (1) it is accepted by the holders of two-thirds in amount and
more than one-half in number of claims in each Impaired Class of claims voting on the
Plan, (2) it is accepted by the holders of two-thirds in amount of the interest in each
Impaired Class of equity interests voting on the Plan, and (3) the Plan satisfies the other
requirements of the Code. Classes which are not impaired by the Plan are conclusively
presumed to have accepted the Plan.

The Court may confirm the Plan notwithstanding the fact that one or more
Impaired Classes have rejected the Plan if at least one impaired Class has accepted the
Plan and the Court finds that the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and
equitable with respect to each Class of Impaired Claims or Interests which has not
accepted the Plan.

3
D. Voting Procedure.

The Disclosure Statement is being delivered to holders of Claims in Classes 5


through 7. Claims in these Classes are impaired under the Plan, and the holders of such
Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Claims in Class 1,2,3,4 and 8 are not impaired; therefore these Claims are
presumed to have accepted the Plan and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

E. Disclosure Statement Purpose.

The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to provide the holders of Claims in


Classes 5 through 7 with adequate information to enable them to make a reasonably
informed decision with respect to the Plan before either: (a) voting to accept or reject the
Plan; or (b) filing a response or objection to the Plan.

Your are encouraged to read this Disclosure Statement and its Exhibits
carefully and in their entirety before deciding to vote either to accept or reject the
Plan.

This Disclosure Statement is the only document authorized by the Bankruptcy


Court to be used in connection with the solicitation of votes on the Plan. No
solicitation of votes may be made except pursuant to this Disclosure Statement, and
no Person has been authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtor to use or
disclose any information concerning the Debtor other than the information contained
herein

F. Recommendation.

The Debtor believes that confirmation of the Plan is desirable and in the best
interests of Creditors. Any alternative to confirmation of the Plan, such as conversion to
Chapter 7 liquidated or attempts by another party in interest to file a plan, would result in
significant delays, litigation, appeals and expense.

III. HISTORY OF THE DEBTOR

A. Description of the Business.

Rowe Oil Properties Power Well Service, LLC (the “Debtor”) is a part of a three
(3) company business which has been in the oil and gas production industry since 1946.
The three companies are Bobby Rowe Energy, Inc.(“Bobby Rowe”), Stephen Rowe Oil
Properties, LLC (“Stephen Rowe”) and the Debtor, collectively, (“Rowe Entities”). All
three companies have sought Chapter 11 relief. The Debtor's primary business has been
the serving and pulling of the Rowe entities’ oil and gas wells in Okmulgee, Muskogee,
Creek, Wagoner, Tulsa and Okfuskee Counties in Oklahoma.

4
The Rowe Entities were started as a family business which was originally founded
by the late Robert W. Rowe in 1946. It was later passed on to his son Bobby D. Rowe and
his mother, Maryetta Rowe. Bobby D. Rowe and his wife, Kathy Rowe Bogie, built the
company into a major independent oil and gas company with over 120 barrels of
production per day.
In October of 2005, the Debtor was founded as a limited liability company with all
units owned by Stephen P. Rowe. The company was founded as a serving and pulling
company for the Rowe entities and third party oil companies in Eastern Oklahoma.
On the bankruptcy petition date, the Rowe entities owned interests in
approximately 89 producing oil wells, about 40 non-producing wells and approximately 8
gas wells.
The Rowe entities also lease over 1,500 net acres of oil and gas prospective lands.
This land base includes a large inventory of drillable prospects.
The Debtor is the pulling unit portion of the Rowe Entities. The Debtor owned
the building and shops used to conduct the daily operations of the Rowe Entities.
Additional assets included all the rolling stock, including two pulling units, pump truck,
various trucks, oil equipment parts; oil equipment; and miscellaneous pipe and supplies.
B. The Causes of Bankruptcy.

The primary cause of the Debtor’s Bankruptcy was the lack of cash flow after the
summer of 2008. In July of 2008, the price of oil was at a record high level of $145 per
barrel, but within six months dropped to $30 per barrel. The other Rowe entities were not
generating enough income to support the servicing and pulling operations of the Debtor.

By early 2009, the Debtor was unable to pay its bills as they became due and
American Heritage moved to sell the real estate of the Debtor. Additionally, the other
Rowe entities were beginning forced to sell their assets by other third party banks. The
Debtor was forced to file Chapter 11 in order to stop the sale of substantially all of the
Debtor’s real estate.

C. Liquidation

On July 27, 2009, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of Title 11 of the United States Code. Since petition date through March 29, 2010, the
Debtor remained in possession of its property. On March 29, 2010 Karen Carden Walsh
was appointed Chapter 11 Trustee.

As of the commencement of this case, the Debtor’s Schedules of Assets and


Liabilities reflected assets in the amount of $419,586.89 and liabilities of $436,465.68.

The Debtor owned a 7-acre tract of developed land in Beggs, Oklahoma,


Okmulgee County. This real estate was sold via credit bid to American Heritage Bank on
September 30, 2010. The Debtor has also sold rolling stock and equipment. All
remaining vehicles have been returned to the secured creditors. The Debtor has no hard

5
assets remaining. After payment of professional expenses, the Debtor estimates that it will
have approximately $27,000.00 remaining for distribution.

D. Litigation.
The following lawsuits involving the Debtor were pending as of the petition date:

American Heritage Bank vs. Rowe Oil Properties Power Well Service, LLC
District Court of Okmulgee County, State of Oklahoma for foreclosure of real estate.

IV. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

Allowed Claim. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, any holder of a Claim that

K. Setoffs.

The Disbursement Agent may, but shall not be required to, set off against any
Allowed Claim, claims or any nature that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have
against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to

Debtor shall constitutes a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor of
any Claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may possess against such holder.

that arose before the Effective Date, subject to the terms of the Plan. In addition, the
distribution shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge and release of
all Claims that Creditors may have against the Debtor, or the Reorganized Debtor as
successor to the Debtor under the Plan, or any of their assets or properties, and any such
Creditor shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor,
any of their assets any other or further Claims based on any act or omission, transaction or

of this case, for at least the following purposes:

The classification of the Claim of any creditors, the re-examination of Claims


which have been estimated for purposes of voting, and the determination of such
objections as may be filed to creditor’s Claims. The estimation of failure by the Debtor or
the Reorganized Debtor to object to or to examine any Claim for the purpose of voting,
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Debtor’s, the Reorganized Debtor’s or the
Disbursement Agent’s right to object to, or re-examine the Claim in whole or in part as to
the allowability for payment.

The determination of any rejection, assumption or assumption and assignment of


any executory contract or unexpired lease, to hear and determine, and if need be, to
liquidate any and all Claims arising therefrom, and to adjudicate any other issues.

The determination of applications, adversary proceedings and contested matters


that may be pending on the Effective Date.

The determination of all questions and disputes regarding title to or sale of the
assets of the Estate, and determination of all causes of action, controversies, disputes or
conflicts, whether or not subject to action pending as of the date of confirmation, between
the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and any other party, including, but not limited to,
any right of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor to recover assets pursuant to the
provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code.

The correction of any defect, the curing of any omissions, or the reconciliation of
any inconsistency in this Plan or the Confirmation Order as may be necessary to carry out
the purposes and intent of this Plan.

13
The modification of this Plan after confirmation pursuant to the Bankruptcy Rules
and Title 11 of the United States Code.

The enforcement and interpretation of the terms and conditions of this Plan.

The entry of any order, including injunctions, necessary to enforce the title, rights
and powers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and the imposition of such
limitations, restrictions, terms and conditions of such title, rights and powers as this
Bankruptcy Court may deem necessary.

The entry of an order concluding and terminating this case.

The determination of applications for allowances of compensation and


reimbursement of expense and reasonableness of any fees and expenses authorized to be
paid or reimbursed under the Bankruptcy Code or the Plan.

The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction of all parties until the Plan has been
fully implemented.

N. Modification of the Plan.

This Plan may be amended or modified by the Debtor at any time prior to the
Confirmation Date upon such notice as the Court may require. After the Confirmation
Date, the Debtor may, with the approval of the Court and as long as it does not materially
and adversely affect the interest of creditors, remedy any defects or omissions or reconcile
any inconsistencies in the Plan or in the Order of confirmation in such manner as may be
necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Plan.

O. Lien Releases.

Upon receipt of the sums provided for in this Plan to satisfy their respective
Secured Claims, holders of Secured Claims shall be obliged to provide releases of all liens
and security interest held or claimed by them against property of the Estates.

V. CONFIRMATION

A. Confirmation Requirements.

The Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a
confirmation hearing. At the confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the
Plan only if all the requirements of Section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code are met.
Among the requirements for confirmation of the Plan under Section 1129(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code are that:

The Plan complies with all provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. This Plan contains
all the mandatory provisions required by Section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The

14
Plan also satisfies certain discretionary provisions set forth in Section 1123(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Plan is proposed in good faith. The Plan is the result of negotiations
conducted by the Debtor on behalf of its creditors and provides for the maximum
distribution to the Debtor’s creditors. The Plan provides holders of Allowed Claims with
full payment of their Claims.

Acceptance by an impaired class. Classes 5 through 7 are impaired, and are


entitled to vote on the Plan. The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a Class
of Claims as acceptance by holders of two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half
in number of the claims of that Class that timely voted on a plan.

Feasibility. The Bankruptcy Code requires a finding that confirmation is not likely
to be followed by the need for further reorganization. The Debtor believes that the
Reorganized Debtor will not require further financial reorganization after the
Confirmation Date.

Best interests test. Even if the Plan is accepted by each Class of Impaired Claims,
in order to confirm the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court must independently determine that the
best interests test under Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied. This test
requires that either: (a) each member of an impaired Class of Claims or Interest has
accepted the Plan; or (b) the Plan will provide any non-accepting member a recovery that
has a value equal to at least the value of the distribution that such non-accepting member
would receive if the Debtor were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Recoveries under the Plan are substantially better than those in an liquidation under
Chapter 7, therefore satisfying the test. A Chapter 7 liquidation analysis is set forth
below.

B. Confirmation without Acceptance by All Impaired Classes.

If any Class votes not to accept the Plan, the Debtor will seek to have the Plan
confirmed pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code which provides that, so
long as at least one impaired Class has accepted the Plan, the Debtor may seek
confirmation of the Plan over the rejection of a Class of creditors or equity Interests. To
obtain such confirmation, the Debtor must demonstrate to the Bankruptcy Court that the
Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to any
dissenting Class. The Debtor believes the Plan satisfies these requirements.

VI. ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMATION OF THE PLAN

If the Plan is not confirmed, this Case could be dismissed, the Debtor’s assets
could be liquidated under Chapter 7, or an alternative plan of reorganization could be
filed.

A. Dismissal of the Debtor’s Case.

15
Upon dismissal of the case, those creditors whose pending actions have been
stayed by the filing of the Petition would be free to pursue their litigation. In addition,
those creditors who have not previously commenced actions against the Debtor would be
able to pursue their non-bankruptcy remedies. This simply creates a race to the
courthouse and the Debtor’s assets. Due to the extent of the Debtor’s assets and the prices
commonly generated in foreclosure sales, the Debtor is confident the vast majority of
creditors would receive substantially less in the event of a dismissal of this case than they
would under the Plan.

B. Conversion to Chapter 7.

ALTHOUGH THE DESCRIBED ALTERNATIVES TO THE PLAN EXIST,


CREDITORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THEIR VOTE MUST BE EITHER FOR
OR AGAINST THE PLAN. A VOTE ON THE PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE A
VOTE ON ALTERNATIVES TO THE PLAN. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE
WHAT TURN THE PROCEEDINGS WILL TAKE IF THE PLAN FAILS TO BE
ACCEPTED. IF YOU BELIEVE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES REFERRED
TO IS PREFERABLE TO THE PLAN AND YOU WISH TO URGE IT UPON THE
COURT, YOU SHOULD CONSULT COUNSEL.

C. Liquidation Analysis.

Below is a liquidation analysis prepared by the Debtor to reflect the anticipated


affect on creditors if this company was liquidated as of December 1, 2010. The Debtor
does not anticipate that the results would be significantly different if the liquidation were
to occur on the date the Court has set to determine whether the Plan will be confirmed.
There does not appear to be enough funds to pay all administrative, priority or unsecured
claims. Liquidation under Chapter 7 will likely increase administrative costs, fees and
expenses.

NOTE: The subsequent auction on September 30, 2010 (Docket Entry# 210) did not
produce the results that had been anticipated with regard to the Debtor’s real estate. The
actual live auction sale produced $150,000 as a credit bid by American Heritage Bank.

The Debtor’s “best case” liquidation analysis is:

Real Estate & Equipment: $336,000


Less payments to Secured Claims $309,000
Net proceeds: $27,000

Administrative Costs:
Trustee fee (estimated) $675
Attorney for Trustee $25,000
Attorneys for Debtor $50,000
Accountant for Trustee $10,000

16
Accountant for Debtor $10,000
($90,675)

Net Loss ($63,675)

VII. TRANSACTIONS WITH INSIDERS

Unsecured creditor of the Debtor is Stephen P. Rowe ($50,000), Kathy Bogie


($25,000). The Plan Trustee shall not pay any payments to insiders, unless ordered to do
so through an adversarial proceeding. In the event the Court orders the payment to an
insider through and adversarial proceeding, the claim shall be a general unsecured claim.
Debtor does not expect that either Stephen P. Rowe or Kathy Bogie will seek
compensation for any insider unsecured claims.

VIII. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax


consequences expected to result from the implementation of the Plan. This discussion is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as in effect o the
date of this Disclosure Statement and on United States treasury Regulations in effect (or in
certain cases, proposed) on the date of this Disclosure Statement, as well as judicial and
administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the
foregoing are subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax
consequences described below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a
contrary view with respect to one or more of the issues discussed below, and no ruling
from the IRS has been or will be sought with respect to any issues which may arise under
the Plan. The following summary is for general information only and does not purport to
address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to the
Debtor or the Plan. The following discussion does not address state, local or foreign tax
considerations that may be applicable to the Debtor.

Holders of Allowed Claims may realize income, gain, loss, or deductions as a


result of the Plan. Such income, gain, loss or deduction may or may not be recognized,
depending upon the circumstances giving rise to the Claims, the type of consideration
received, and their federal income tax accounting method.

The federal income tax consequences of the plan are complex. The foregoing
summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a
particular holder in light of his or her particular circumstances and income tax situation.
The tax consequences to each claim holder will vary based on the holder’s circumstances.
Accordingly, each claim holder should consult with a tax advisor as to the specific tax
consequences to such holder of the Plan, including the application and effect of federal,
state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
