Dear Shareholders,

Our company is dedicated to increasing stockholder value and has completed the following achievements in 2022:

• Completed an asset spinoff dividend to shareholders of Worldwide Diversified Holdings, Inc. ("WDHI") a majority owned subsidiary of HNRC and will be expanding its non- energy assets as a diversified holding company. The dividend will be credited to shareholders accounts by the transfer agent when the FINRA review is completed and then a registration statement will be filed. The company does not have a definite date yet but will keep shareholders updated on the progress.
  
  
• Acquired a 9.9% interest in Cunningham Energy, LLC and announced today that it extended its Letter of Intent to acquire an additional interest, for up to 100% interest, in Cunningham Energy, LLC to on or before March 31, 2023. An independent engineering company has completed an evaluation of the Oil & Gas Assets of Cunningham Energy. The appraised value of the company's leasehold position as of May 18^th, 2022, is $218 million dollars, assuming the current proposed 40 well drilling program is completed.

In 2023 the company intends to continue to implement its strategies to benefit shareholders: 

• The company is engaging an underwriter for a $10 million dollar commitment for an up listing to a major exchange in 2023.
  
  
• The company intends to focus on realizing the value on the total of $1.15 per share in current appraised energy assets held by its subsidiaries for the benefit of the shareholders.
  
  
• The company is evaluating additional acquisitions in the energy and energy services industry to provide value for shareholders,
  
  
• The company intends to continue sponsoring additional SPAC investments. The company sponsored a successful NYSE listing of an energy focused SPAC during the first quarter of 2022. The company is currently focused on a second energy focused SPAC to be listed in 2023 and is currently evaluating other SPAC opportunities for listing onto major exchanges. This strategy will result in a dividend to its shareholders, after the lock up period has expired, on each of the SPAC investments. This would provide quarterly dividends through 2023 – 2024.
