Lighthouse Petroleum, Inc. no longer pursuing the sale of its subsidiary

LEVELLAND, Texas, Oct. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lighthouse Petroleum, Inc. (OTC Pink sheets: LHPT) is no longer going to sell its Texas operating subsidiary, Lighthouse Petroleum, Inc. ("Lighthouse Texas"). Management has made this decision based upon the following reasons:

1. The equity valuation of Lighthouse Petroleum, Inc. has dropped since the announcement of the proposed merger.  Management believes this is because most investors didn't believe Lighthouse would have any value after the merge.  This is no longer the case and Lighthouse is going to continue pursuing a plan to increase its value.
2. Management is working on improving the financial management structures and its ability to be better at financial reporting. Lighthouse became profitable for the first time in several years based mainly on the consulting side of the business during the second quarter.  A tremendous amount of time has recently been placed on getting the accounting records in order to prevent future delays and to help ensure more timely filings in the future.
3. DTCC: In August, Lighthouse learned that a ruling from the SEC earlier this year allowed us to inquire about the chill placed on the stock.  DTCC responded with a list of questions and our attorneys issued an opinion to DTCC. Lighthouse hopes this response leads to the DTCC chill being lifted but DTCC notified us that they reserve the right to ask more questions.  We plan to keep the shareholders updated once we receive additional information.  
4. Business Direction and the revenue model:

• Lighthouse will expand its consulting and marketing business. Lighthouse has begun developing its client base and is hoping to build its pipeline of transactional revenue from the consulting division during the next several quarters. 
• In regards to oil production-Lighthouse's management has becoming better and more technically proficient at selecting projects allowing Lighthouse to modify its focus and begin looking for projects in the Wolfcamp or the Spraberry Trend.  Management believes it is time for Lighthouse to get more aggressive and begin working on larger projects. Lighthouse will continue to rework wells but a majority of its focus will be securing larger based projects in Western Texas.  Management believes oil production will be one of the best driving forces behind the company and anticipates going after wells that could produce in excess of 50 to 75 barrels a day.
