The amendment to the borrowing arrangement increases the maximum available borrowings from $15 million to $20 million. Other terms will remain unchanged. Interest expense is the Prime Rate, subject to a floor of 3.25%, payable monthly. The maturity date remains at  November 30, 2014, with all outstanding principal due at maturity.

Since entering into our original line of credit with the bank, Synergy has participated in two horizontal wells, continued its 2012 drilling program drilling 39 wells so far this fiscal year with a 100% drilling success rate and acquired over 9,000 D-J Basin mineral acres that provide prospects for drilling horizontal wells into the Greenhorn and Niobrara formations. We look forward to maintaining and growing our successful relationship with Bank of Choice."
