(The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements)
Verde Bio Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010. Currently, the Company is in the business of oil and gas exploration and investment.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company has not been significant but management continues to monitor the situation.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,315,000 and used cash of $685,159 for operating activities. As at April 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,836,745. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. The Company will continue to rely on equity sales of its common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IP Risk Control Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Nevada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the collectability of accounts receivable relating to oil and gas interests which is based on the operator’s production statements, carrying value of oil and gas properties, the useful life, carrying value, and incremental borrowing rate used for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the fair value of convertible debentures, derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition including the calculation of the reserves and the fair value of the reserves for oil and gas interests, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c)Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no items representing cash equivalents.
(d)Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for services. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis.
(e)Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, mineral properties, and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment and ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. The Company’s long-lived assets consist of computer software and some oil and gas properties. As of April 30, 2021, the computer software has not been placed in use.
Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.
(f)Royalty Interest in Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this approach, all acquisition costs incurred for the purposes of acquiring mineral and royalty interests are capitalized into a full cost pool. Costs associated with general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
Capitalized costs are amortized using the units-of-production method. Under this method, the provision for depletion is calculated by multiplying total production for the period by a depletion rate. The depletion rate is determined by dividing the total unamortized cost base by net equivalent proved reserves at the beginning of the period.
Costs associated with unevaluated properties are excluded from the amortizable cost base until a determination has been made as to the existence of proved reserves. Unevaluated properties are reviewed periodically to determine whether the costs incurred should be reclassified to the full cost pool and subjected to amortization. The costs associated with unevaluated properties primarily consist of acquisition costs and capitalized general and administrative costs. Unevaluated properties are assessed for impairment on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f)Royalty Interest in Oil and Gas Properties (continued)
The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: expectation of future drilling activity; past drilling results and activity; geological and geophysical evaluations; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative acquisition costs incurred to date for such property are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to amortization. Sales and abandonments of oil and natural gas properties being amortized are accounted for as adjustments to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized unless the adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. A significant alteration would not ordinarily be expected to occur upon the sale of reserves involving less than 25% of the reserve quantities of a cost center.
Natural gas volumes are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) at the rate of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (Bbl) of oil. This convention is not an equivalent price basis and there may be a large difference in value between an equivalent volume of oil versus an equivalent volume of natural gas.
Under the full cost method of accounting, total capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount equal to the present value of future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum ("PV-10"), plus the cost of unevaluated properties less related income tax effects (the ceiling limitation). A ceiling limitation is calculated at each reporting period. If total capitalized costs, net of accumulated DD&A and related deferred income taxes are greater than the ceiling limitation, a write-down or impairment of the full cost pool is required. A write-down of the carrying value of the full cost pool is a noncash charge that reduces earnings and impacts equity in the period of occurrence and typically results in lower depletion expense in future periods. Once incurred, a write-down cannot be reversed at a later date. The ceiling limitation calculation is prepared using an unweighted arithmetic average of oil prices ("SEC oil price") and natural gas prices ("SEC gas price") as of the first day of each month for the trailing 12-month period ended April 30, 2021, adjusted by area for energy content, transportation fees and regional price differentials, as required under the guidelines established by the SEC. If applicable, these net wellhead prices would be further adjusted to include the effects of any fixed price arrangements for the sale of oil and natural gas.
(g)Leases
Right-of-Use Asset
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease which is measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liability recognized on the commencement or lease standard adoption date. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over a useful life of the underlying asset.
Lease Liability
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes the lease liability as measured by the present value of the lease payments over the term of the lease. Fixed lease payments are included in the present value calculation and variable lease payments are expensed as they are incurred. If an interest rate is not explicit in a lease, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate for a period that closely matches the lease term.
The incremental rate of borrowing at the lease commencement date was used to calculate the present value of the lease liability as the implicit interest rate of the lease is not readily determinable. Subsequent to the recognition of the lease liability on the commencement date the lease liability increases through accretion of interest and decreases as lease payments are made. The carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured if there is a modification in the term of the lease or in fixed payment amounts.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(h)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2021, the Company had 7,718,600 (2020 – 39,994,463) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
(i) Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible debentures and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the years ended April 30, 2021, and 2020. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of April 30, 2021 and 2020 on a recurring basis:

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(j)Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from royalties of its oil and gas interests in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company records revenue based on five criteria: (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify separate performance obligations; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations; and (v) recognize revenues as the performance obligations are satisfied.
As the Company derives its revenues from its royalty interests, it recognizes revenue based on the monthly royalties it receives from the specific operator or broker of each oil and gas interest held by the Company. The Company’s performance obligation is considered complete once the monthly production revenues are calculated and receivable, as the Company is not obligated to perform any additional services to earn its monthly royalty revenue.
Revenues from royalty properties are recorded under the cash receipts approach as directly received from the remitters’ statement accompanying the revenue check. Since the revenue checks are generally received 30 to 90 days after the production month, the Company accrues for revenue earned but not received by estimating production volumes and product prices.
Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
The Company’s right to royalty income does not originate until production occurs and, therefore, is not considered to exist beyond each day’s production. Therefore, there are no remaining performance obligations under any of the Company’s royalty income contracts.
Contract balances
Under the Company’s royalty income contracts, it would have the right to receive royalty income from the producer once production has occurred, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s royalty income contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities.
Prior-period performance obligations
The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain oil and gas sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of royalty income to be received based upon the Company’s interest. The Company records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for royalties in the quarter that payment is received from the producer. Identified differences between the Company’s revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the year ended April 30, 2021, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material. The Company believes that the pricing provisions of its oil and gas contracts are customary in the industry. To the extent actual volumes and prices of oil and natural gas sales are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the royalties related to expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and recorded.
During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company earned $48,520 (2020 - $nil) of royalty interest related to its oil and gas properties.
(k)Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
ASC 718 requires company to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of
F-11

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
(l)Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
As of April 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal, state and local income tax returns in the U.S., as applicable. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and U.S. income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2016 to 2020.
In certain circumstances, the U.S. federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. U.S. state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and U.S. have not examined any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.
(j)Concentrations
The Company purchases oil and gas royalty interests, of which 87% were purchased from the same broker for the year ended April 30, 2021.
(k)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3.Right-of-Use Operating Lease Asset and Lease Liability
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with a sublandlord regarding its office at 5750 Genesis Court, Suite 220, Frisco, Texas 75036. The agreement was treated as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842, Lease, which resulted in initial recognition of right-of-use asset and lease liability of $122,120. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation is 18%.

(c)As at April 30, 2021, the Company owed $nil (2020 – $2,500) in a note payable to a non-related party. Under the terms of the note, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 5% per annum, and was due on February 1, 2018. The note bears a default interest rate of 12% per annum.
(d)As at April 30, 2021, the Company owed $nil (2020 – $15,000) in a note payable to a non-related party. The note payable was issued as a commitment fee and was recorded to additional paid-in capital during the year ended April 30, 2017. Under the terms of the note, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was due on September 15, 2017. The note bears a default interest rate of 20% per annum.
(e)On May 11, 2020, the Company received $22,917 from the United States Small Business Association (“USSBA”) as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On April 27, 2021, the USSBA informed the Company that they PPP loan was forgiven.
7.Convertible Debentures
(a)On February 13, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, for proceeds of $105,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $94,500. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and was due on November 13, 2017. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the ten prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note. In the event of default, the conversion price decreases to 50% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the ten prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note and the interest rate increases to 20%. During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company issued 1,115,335 shares of common stock for the conversion of $8,990 principal and $7,740 of accrued interest and the loan was fully converted.
Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

The Company determined that the conversion price was below the closing stock price on the commitment date, and the convertible notes contained a beneficial conversion feature.
The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $29,322 as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $5,678. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible notes up to their face value of $35,000. On April 22, 2021, the Company settled the outstanding balance owing with a combination of cash and common shares. Refer to Note 10.
During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded accretion expense of $29,322 (2020 - $nil).
(t)On December 22, 2020, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, in the amount of $30,556. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $25,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum (5% default interest rate), and is due on June 22, 2021. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 50% of the average of the two lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock of the past twenty-five trading days prior to notice of conversion or the issuance of the note.
Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a discount to the note payable of $24,500, of which $6,056 of the discount resulted from debt issuance costs. The carrying value of the convertible note will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the face value of $30,556. During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company made a cash repayment of $45,349 which is comprised of $30,556 of principal, $4,328 of accrued interest and $10,465 of repayment penalties.
During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded accretion expense of $30,556 (2020 - $nil).
(u)On January 6, 2021, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, in the amount of $55,500. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount of $3,500 and as such the purchase price was $52,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum (22% default interest rate), and is due on January 6, 2022. The debenture may be convertible at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the 58% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the past twenty trading days prior to notice of conversion or the issuance of the note.

On April 13, 2021, the Company repaid $72,912, resulting in a loss on settlement of debt of $17,412.
During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded accretion expense of $3,500 (2020 - $nil).
(v)On February 2, 2021, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, in the amount of $43,500. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount of $3,500 and as such the purchase price was $40,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum (22% default interest rate), and is due on February 2, 2022. The debenture may be convertible at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the 58% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the past twenty trading days prior to notice of conversion or the issuance of the note.
Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

9.Convertible Preferred Series B Stock Liability
On June 13, 2019, the Company designated 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B. The holders of Series B preferred shares are not entitled to receive dividends except as may be declared by the Board at its sole and absolute discretion. Each Series B preferred share is convertible into common shares according to the following formula: the Stated Value of $1.10 per share of Series B preferred stock divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the conversion. Holders of Series B preferred stock shall not have voting rights.
On June 17, 2019, the Company issued 530,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, at a value of $583,000 based on the stated value of $1.10 per share, in exchange for the settlement of accounts payable of $266,523, notes payable of $990, accrued interest of $535, and management fees of $33,000. The transaction resulted in a loss on settlement of debt of $281,952. Because the Series B shares represent an unconditional obligation that the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares and the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount ($1.10 worth of common stock), the 530,000 shares with a balance of $583,000 is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company issued 21,441,440 shares of common stock for the conversion of 334,600 shares of Series B preferred stock. As of April 30, 2021, the carrying value of 195,400 Convertible Preferred Series B Stock Liability was $214,940.

14.Reserve and Related Financial Data - unaudited
Oil and Gas Reserves
Proved reserves represent quantities of oil and natural gas reserves which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves which can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment, infrastructure, and operating methods. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC, which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions based upon the 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month prices.
Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes, and other factors. The reserves are located in various fields located in the states of Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming. All of the proved reserves are located in the continental United States.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Net Cash Flows
Guidelines prescribed in FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932 Extractive Industries—Oil and Gas (“ASC Topic 932”), have been followed for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves. Future cash inflows are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs to be produced in the future. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual discount factor.
The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established proved producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.
