Corporate Profile

Stratum Holdings, Inc. (OTC: STTH), formerly, Tradestar Services, Inc., is a oil and gas exploitation company, headquartered in Houston, Texas. Our present operations also include Decca Consulting Ltd., which provides consultants for the oil and gas industry in Canada. Each of our operations are conducted through two wholly-owned subsidiaries as further described below:

•CYMRI, L.L.C. Owns working interests in approximately 70 operated and non-operated wells in South Texas and South Louisiana. Current production is averaging approximately 1,000 Mcf equivalent per day.
•Decca Consulting LTD.
Provides focused consulting services to the growing Canadian energy market from its office in Calgary, Alberta. Decca was acquired by Stratum in March 2007. Decca contracts with approximately 100 consultants who provide drilling-related services and other consulting services to oil and gas operators in Alberta and neighboring provinces as well as in selected international locations.

The CYMRI corporation was acquired in May 2006 for a combination of cash, notes payable and Stratum Holdings common stock totaling $12.6 million. In March 2007, we launched our International Division, enabling significant expansion and diversification in the global energy services sector. At that time, we acquired the outstanding capital stock of Decca, an established company with a 24 year operating history, for total consideration of approximately $5.1 million (U.S.). We have a highly experienced management team with a track record of success in building and growing public companies. We have a current inside ownership of approximately 68%.

We seek to increase shareholder value through an approach focused on both organic growth and acquisition opportunities in the energy and construction industries. The CYMRI and Decca acquisitions have given us scaleable “platforms” to penetrate the energy industry. Our management team has executive level contacts throughout the energy industry and the team members have experience in leveraging contacts in one industry sector to generate opportunities in other industry sectors, as well as expertise in closing and integrating acquisition opportunities.
