Pegasus Oil & Gas Inc. (formerly NDT Energy Ltd.) (“Pegasus” or the “Company”) announced today that the previously announced Reorganization of the Company by way of a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) became effective on June 23, 2006.

NDT has also changed its name to “Pegasus Oil & Gas Inc.” Letters of Transmittal have been sent to former holders of common shares of NDT in order to exchange their shares for the newly created Class A Shares of Pegasus Oil & Gas Inc.

Further to NDT’s press release issued June 20, 2006 the Series U Subscription Receipts of the Company have been automatically converted under the Arrangement into Class A Shares of Pegasus on the basis of 400 Class A Shares and 92 Class B Shares for each Series U Subscription Receipt formerly held, all of which shares have been issued on a “flow-through” basis. The previously completed offering of Series U Subscription Receipts was led by FirstEnergy Capital Corp., with a syndicate including Canaccord Capital Corporation and GMP Securities L.P. resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $11 million.

Pegasus is also pleased to announce today that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 5,350,000 Class A Shares to the new directors, officers, employees and certain of their associates and affiliates for additional aggregate gross proceeds to Pegasus of $1,070,000. The Class A Shares issued to directors, senior officers and other insiders of the Company pursuant to this private placement have been deposited in escrow and are releasable as to 25% upon final acceptance of the Arrangement and related matters by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), and 25% thereafter on each of the 6, 12 and 18 month anniversaries of such acceptance.

Pegasus is also pleased to announce that it has closed on its previously announced agreement with an intermediate size public oil and gas trust (the “Trust”) pursuant to which: (a) Pegasus acquired certain oil and gas assets, including production of approximately 130 boe/d, from the Trust for the combined consideration of 1,840,000 Class A Shares of Pegasus and a non- interest bearing promissory note in the principal amount of $1,415,088; (b) Pegasus has entered into farmout and option agreements with the Trust in certain areas of Central Alberta and the Peace River Arch area pursuant to which it will be obligated to drill 12 test wells prior to December 31, 2006; and (c) Pegasus has acquired the right to review seismic data owned by the Trust in respect to certain lands in Central Alberta and the Peace River Arch area and has the option to farm-in on such lands.

After giving effect to the Arrangement, the brokered and non brokered private placements and the property acquisition, Pegasus has 11,990,000 Class A Shares and 1,012,000 Class B Shares outstanding.

Pegasus has current estimated production of 750 mcf/d of natural gas and 5 bbls/d of oil and liquids, access to approximately 45,000 net undeveloped acres from the Trust farmout and option agreements and has estimated tax pools of approximately $16 million.

Upon issuance of a Bulletin of the TSXV confirming receipt by the TSXV of all necessary documents in connection with the closing of the Arrangement and related transactions, the Class A Shares and Class B Shares of Pegasus are expected to begin trading on the TSXV under the trading symbols “POG.A” and “POG.B”, respectively in late June, 2006.
