TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an Annual Meeting of Shareholders of

Company's independent auditors for the current fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998.
3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on August 10, 1998 as the
record date for determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting or
any adjournments thereof, and only Shareholders of record at the close of
business on that date will be entitled to vote. At the Record Date, 4,413,259
shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. A list of Shareholders

The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement is first being
mailed to Shareholders is August 15, 1998. Shareholders who execute proxies may
revoke them at any time prior to their being exercised by providing written
notice to the Company by delivering another proxy bearing a later date any time

but a Shareholder present at the Meeting may revoke his or her proxy and vote in
person. Any duly executed proxy on which a vote is not indicated (except broker
non-votes expressly indicating a lack of discretionary authority to vote) will
be deemed a vote for the nominees and all Proposals. Abstentions and broker

coming before the Meeting.
To assure representation at the Meeting, Shareholders are urged to sign
and return the enclosed proxy card as promptly as possible in the postage

PROXY STATEMENT
For Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To Be Held September 16, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solicitation of Proxies:
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with solicitation of
Proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation
(the "Company") to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders (the
"Meeting") to be held at 1703 Edelweiss Drive, Cedar Park, Texas 78613 on

are first being sent or given to shareholders of record on or about August 15,
1998.
At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to consider and vote
upon: (i) a proposal to elect three (3) nominees as directors of the Company to
serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held in
1999; (ii) ratify the selection of Hein & Associates, L.L.P. as the Company's
independent auditors for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 1998; and
(iii) any other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any
adjournment thereof (collectively, the "Proposals"). The Board of Directors
unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR all nominees as directors
and IN FAVOR of all Proposals.
Record Date and Outstanding Shares:
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on August 10,
1998, as the record date for the determination of holders of shares of
outstanding capital stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On
August 10, 1998, there were outstanding 4,413,259 shares of common stock, $.01
par value held by shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
Voting Proxies:
A proxy card accompanies this Proxy Statement. All properly executed
proxies that are not revoked will be voted at the Meeting, and any postponements
or adjournments thereof, in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
Proxies containing no instruction regarding the Proposals specified in the form
of proxy will be voted for all nominees as directors and in favor of the
Proposals. The Meeting may be adjourned and additional proxies solicited, if the
vote necessary to approve a Proposal has not been obtained. Any adjournment of
the Meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the shares represented, whether in person or by proxy, at the
Meeting (regardless of whether those shares constitute a quorum).
A shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke such
proxy at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by executing and returning a
<PAGE>
proxy bearing a later date, by filing written notice of such revocation with the
Secretary of the Company stating the proxy is revoked, or by attending the
Meeting and voting in person. Mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a
properly executed proxy.
Quorum and Required Vote:
Quorum: The holders of one-third of the shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Meeting shall
constitute a quorum of the transactions of business at the Meeting. Shares of
Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy (including shares which
abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for
shareholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a
quorum exists at the Meeting.
Required Vote: At the Meeting, the holders of Common Stock on the
Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share on each matter of business
properly brought before the Meeting including one vote per share on each of the
nominees for director and the Proposals. Holders of Common Stock have the right
to elect three (3) members of the Board of Directors, as proposed in the
"Director Election Proposal." Every holder of Common Stock on the Record Date
shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares of
Common Stock owned, for as many persons as there are directors to be elected at
that time. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted.
Directors are elected by the plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled
to vote in the election.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes either
"for" or "against" any matter coming before the Meeting, nor will such
abstentions and broker non-votes be counted toward determining a quorum.
Votes by Directors, Officers, and Affiliates: At the Record Date,
directors, officers, and affiliates of the Company had the right to vote through
proxy, beneficial ownership or otherwise 2,908,942 shares of Common Stock, or
65% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The Company has been advised
that the directors, officers, and affiliates of the Company intend to vote FOR
all nominees for director and IN FAVOR of all other Proposals described in this
Proxy Statement. All these directors, officers, and affiliates of the Company
will have an interest in the election of directors.
Proxy Solicitation and Expenses:
Solicitation of Proxies may be made by mail by directors, officers and
employees of the Company. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be
solicited by personal interview, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, and by
directors, officers and regular employees of the Company, without special
compensation therefore; except that directors, officers and employees of the
Company may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any
solicitation of proxies. The Company will request banking institutions,
brokerage firms, custodians, trustees, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward
solicitation material to the beneficial holders or owners of Common Stock held
of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse reasonable forwarding
expenses upon the request of such record holders.

out-of-pocket expenses.
