JK Acquisition Corp. merger with Multi-Shot, LLC Investor Presentations September 2007


 

JK Acquisition Corp. Merger with Multi-Shot, LLC Summary Information The attached presentation was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as part of the Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed by JK Acquisition Corp. ("JKA") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 19, 2007. JKA is holding presentations for certain of its stockholders, as well as other interested persons, regarding its merger with Multi-Shot, LLC, ("MS" or "Multi-Shot") as described in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2007. The attached presentation, as well as the August 30, 2007 Form 8-K (and exhibits thereto) are being distributed to attendees of the presentations. Ferris Baker Watts, Inc., Ladenberg Thalman & Co., Inc. and Maxim Group, LLC, the managing underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") of JKA's initial public offering ("IPO") consummated in April 2006, are assisting JKA in these efforts. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between JKA and the Underwriters, dated April 10, 2006, upon the consummation of the merger with MS, JKA will pay the Underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance of One Million Five Hundred and Fifty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,552,000). This non-accountable expense allowance shall be paid from the proceeds deposited in the trust account in connection with JKA's initial public offering. Such terms are more fully described in JKA's final prospectus dated April 11, 2006. JKA and its directors and executive officers, and the Underwriters may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of JKA stockholders to be held to approve the merger. However, neither JKA nor its directors and executive officers nor the Underwriters shall solicit proxies until JKA files a written proxy statement in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stockholders of JKA and other interested persons are advised to read JKA's preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as filed by JKA with the SEC on November 22, 2006, Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A, as filed by JKA with the SEC on May 8, 2007, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 14A, as filed by JKA with the SEC on August 29, 2007 and, when available, definitive proxy statement in connection with JKA' s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting because these proxy statements will contain important information. Such persons should also read JKA's final prospectus, dated April 11, 2006, for a description of the current security holdings of the JKA's officers and directors and of the Underwriters and their respective interests in the successful consummation of this business combination. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the merger with MS. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement, without charge, once available, and the final prospectus can also be obtained, without charge, at the Securities and Exchange Commission's Internet site, (http://www.sec.gov).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Multi-Shot Major Service / Product line Descriptions Multi-Shot has the personnel, equipment and expertise necessary to compete with the leading directional service providers in the industry. Directional Drilling Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Downhole Surveying Multi-Shot utilizes positive displacement drilling motors which incorporate significant design enhancements to provide a high standard of drilling performance. These enhancements generate increased reliability, longer runs, greater horsepower and torque, and improved penetration rates. Survey utilizes the same high tech sensors as the aerospace industry to provide highly accurate wellbore surveys. These surveys allow precise targeting and reservoir delineation, preventing such costly problems as missed objectives ("targeted payzones") and wellbore collisions in multi- well structures. Multi-Shot also has a proprietary Digital Single Shot tool. MWD systems and Steering Tools measure wellbore geometry (inclination, azimuth, drilling system orientation ("toolface")), and mechanical properties of the drilling process. Traditionally, MWD has fulfilled the role of providing wellbore inclination and azimuth in order to maintain directional control in real time. Major Service/Product Descriptions

Industry Overview (trillion cubic feet) Unconventional Natural Gas Production Tight Sands Coalbed Methane Shale Gas Historical Projected Dry Natural Gas Production From 1990 to 2006 onshore unconventional has increased by approximately 165% far outpacing all other natural gas production sources. According to the EIA, the majority of the incremental U.S. production will come from unconventional resources. Horizontal drilling and advances in fracture stimulation technology have been the key to unlocking this reserve potential of unconventional gas. Unconventional Natural Gas Production Approximately 70% of the 8 trillion cubic feet of unconventional natural gas is tight sands with a significant portion located in Canada. Increased drilling and stimulation processes will be needed to recover the remaining reserves.

The EIA projects this difference to expand to 21% by the year 2030. According to the EIA, net imports such as pipeline supply and liquefied natural gas are projected to compensate for the gap between consumption and production. Unconventional Gas: The Largest Recoverable Natural Gas Resource According the EIA, there is approximately 1,341 tcf of recoverable natural gas in the U.S. Gas in unconventional regions comprises of 478 tcf or 36% of total recoverable natural gas resources.
