NOTES TO
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period
ended April 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Brinx
Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on December 23, 1998, and issued its initial common stock in February
2001. The Company holds undeveloped mineral interests located in New
Mexico and holds oil and gas interests located in Oklahoma, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
The
accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for fair presentation. The results of
operations for the six-month period ended April 30, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the entire year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31,
2007.
Except
for the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, this Form contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this
Report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Report and any
documents incorporated herein by reference, as well as the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2007.
USE OF
ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The oil
and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and
clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial
costs from environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be
currently liable. In addition, the Company’s oil and gas business
makes it vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and natural
gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected
to be volatile in the future. By definition, proved reserves are
based on current oil and gas prices and estimated reserves. Price
declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved reserves and increase annual
depletion expense (which is based on proved reserves).
OIL AND
GAS INTERESTS
The
Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas
activities. Under this method, subject to a limitation based on
estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and
development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration, are capitalized within
a cost center. No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or
abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale
represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain
significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil
and gas reserves of the cost center. Depreciation, depletion and
amortization of oil and gas interests is computed on the units of production
method based on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved
reserves have not yet been established due to the recent commencement of
production. Amortizable costs include estimates of future development
costs of proved undeveloped reserves.

OIL AND
GAS INTERESTS (continued)
Capitalized
costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present
value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil
and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of
unproved interests. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, and
impairment is recognized. The present value of estimated future net
cash flows is computed by applying year end prices of oil and gas to estimated
future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year end, less estimated
future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
The
Company recognizes oil and gas revenues from its interests in producing wells as
oil and gas is produced and sold from these wells and when ultimate collection
is reasonably assured.
INCOME /
(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic
income/ (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of
diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent
issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would
have the dilutive effect on income/(loss) per share. The dilutive
effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by
application of the "as if converted method." The dilutive effect of outstanding
options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the treasury stock method. The table below presents
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month period

2. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
The
accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of
business. As shown in the accompanying condensed balance sheet, the
Company has accumulated a deficit of $124,903 through April 30,
2008. These factors among others raise substantial doubt that the
Company will be able to continue in existence. The Company’s
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the realization
of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence. The Company’s ability to establish itself as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, in order
to further its oil and gas production operations. Management believes
it will require additional funding to cover its anticipated costs and that such
additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of the
Company’s common stock. However, there can be no assurances that such
financing can be secured.
3.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable
consists of revenues receivable from the operators of
the oil and gas projects for the sale of
oil and gas by the operators on their behalf
and are carried at net receivable amounts less
an estimate for doubtful accounts. Management
considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible at April 30, 2008
and October 31, 2007. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts or bad
debt expense has been recorded.

Impairment
Under the
full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test. This
ceiling test determines whether there is an impairment to the proved
properties. The impairment amount represents the excess of
capitalized costs over the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated
future net cash flows from the proven oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or
estimated fair market value. There were no impairment costs for the
six-month periods ended April 30, 2008 or 2007, respectively.
Depletion
Under the
full cost method, depletion is computed on the units of production method based
on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not
yet been established due to the recent commencement of
production. Depletion expense recognized was $145,130 and $264,150
for the six-month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The
Company follows SFAS 143 “Accounting for asset retirement
obligations”. SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 requires recognition
of the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. As of April
30, 2008 and October 31, 2007, we recognized the future cost to plug and abandon
the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with
SFAS No. 143. The liability for the fair value of an asset retirement
obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related
long-lived asset is recorded at the time a well is completed and ready for
production. The Company amortizes the amount added to the oil and gas
properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted
liability over the remaining life of the respective well. The
estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning
wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates
as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future and federal and state
regulatory requirements. The liability is a discounted liability
using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 12%.
Revisions
to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs,
well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the
plugging and abandonment of wells.
The
Company amortizes the amount added to oil and gas properties and recognizes
accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining
useful lives of the respective wells.

Item
2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
We are an
independent oil and gas company engaged in exploration, development and
production of oil and natural gas. As production of these products continues,
they will be sold to purchasers in the immediate area where the products are
extracted.
Our
original business plan was to proceed with the exploration of the Antelope Pass
Project to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of
gold located on the property comprising the mineral claims. In 2005,
we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order
to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or
exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the six-month period
ended April 30, 2008 or during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 or
2006. At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will
proceed with the Antelope Pass Project.
Our plan
of operations is to continue to produce commercial quantities of oil and gas and
to drill new exploratory and development wells and re-entries to test the oil
and gas productive capabilities of our oil and gas properties.
The
report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year
ended October 31, 2007, includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the
uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
accumulated deficit was $483,610 and $124,903 at October 31, 2007 and April 30,
2008, respectively. We need to generate additional revenues and successfully
maintain and expand our current level of operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. We expect that we will require additional funding to cover
these anticipated costs and that such additional funding will be in the form of
equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we
cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise
sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to cover our oil and gas
operations or our other working capital requirements. We do not
presently have any arrangements in place for any future equity
financing. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative
for our cash needs.
Oil
and Gas Properties
“Bbl” is
defined herein to mean one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume,
used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
“Mcf” is
defined herein to mean one thousand cubic feet of natural gas at standard
atmospheric conditions.
“Working
interest” is defined herein to mean an interest in an oil and gas lease that
gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and gas
on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of
drilling and production operations. The share of production to which
a working interest owner is entitled will always be smaller than the share of
costs that the working interest owner is required to bear, with the balance of
the production accruing to the mineral owners of royalties.
Owl Creek
Project
Acquisitions and
Sales of Oil and Gas Interests.
On August 10, 2005, we
acquired a 70% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s Owl Creek Project
for a total buy-in cost of $211,750 plus dry hole costs (the “Owl Creek
Project”). The Owl Creek Project is located in
Oklahoma. Our working interest in the Owl Creek Project includes
leasehold interests, two re-entry test wells, geologic expenses, brokerage
costs, 3-D seismic usage, geophysical interpretations, and
overhead. We also participate in drilling operations and related
costs.
On June
1, 2006, we completed the sale of 20% of the Powell #2 well and future drill
sites on the Owl Creek Project. We received a one-time cash payment
of $300,000 and each party is responsible for its portion of the cost to
complete the Powell #2 well and future drill sites. Delta has funded its portion
of the completion cost of the Powell #2 as well as costs related to future wells
on the project. As a result of the sale to Delta, we now hold a 50%
interest in the Powell #2 well.
Also in
June 2006, we acquired a 50% interest in an additional 85 leased acres located
at the eastern end of the Owl Creek Prospect, increasing the project’s scope to
over 1,200 acres. We paid $17,000 for the additional
acreage.
On August
3, 2006, we completed the sale of 7.5% of the Isbill #1 well and future drill
sites on the Owl Creek Project. We received a one-time cash payment
of $100,000. We retained a 42.5% working interest in the Owl Creek
Project. Each party is responsible for its portion of the costs to
drill and complete the Isbill #1 well and future drill sites. We have
also retained a 70% interest in two spacing unit and the wells containing the
Johnson #1 and Powell #1 and a 50% interest in one spacing unit and the well
containing the Powell #2.
On March
15, 2007, we expended $403,675 on Isbill #2-36 well. We hold a
working interest of 42.5% in the Isbill #2-36 well.
On
October 19, 2007, we expended $238,784 on Powell #3-25 well. On
November 9, 2007, Powell #3-25 was abandoned and $174,245 was transferred to the
proven cost pool for depletion. The unused estimated drilling costs
were applied to other operating well costs. As of April 30, 2008, our
total costs associated with the Owl Creek Project are $1,979,563.
Operations.
During
the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, 7,809 Bbls of oil and 2,342 MCF of
natural gas were produced at the Owl Creek Project.
We
completed the Powell #1 well on the Owl Creek Prospect in early February
2006. As of the date of this filing, the Powell #1 well has produced
1,280 Bbl of oil and 8,227 MCF of natural gas. The well is currently shut in and
may be converted to a saltwater disposal well in the near future.
We
completed drilling the Powell #2 well in June 2006. In April 2007,
the Powell #2 well was placed on a submersible pump. As of April 30,
2008, the Powell #2 well has produced 74,208 Bbl of oil and 22,886 MCF of
natural gas. As of the date of this filing, the Powell #2 is
averaging 70 Bbls of oil and 24 MCF of natural gas per day.
In late
August 2006, we commenced drilling an offset well to the Powell #2 well, the
Isbill #1 well. The well reached a total depth of 5,775 feet in mid-September
2006. After examination of the well logs it was determined that the
sands that are producing in the Powell #2 were too thin in the Isbill #1 to
produce economic quantities of oil and gas. The Isbill #1 well has been plugged
and abandoned.
We
commenced drilling of the Isbill #2 well, a direct offset well to the Powell #2,
in February 2007. The Isbill #2 well reached a total depth of 5,700 feet in
mid-March 2007. The Isbill #2 well was successfully completed and was
placed into production in April 2007. As of April 30, 2008, the Isbill #2 well
has produced 16,540 Bbls of oil and 4,945 MCF of natural gas through October 31,
2007 and as of the date of this filing is averaging 42 Bbls of oil and 12 MCF of
natural gas per day.
In
October 2007, drilling commenced on the Powell #3 well, a direct offset well to
the Powell #2 well. Powell #3 well reached a total depth of
5,720 feet in November 2007. After examination of the well logs, it
was determined that the sands that are producing in the Powell #2 and Isbill #2
wells were too thin in the Powell #3 well to produce economic quantities of oil
and gas. As of the date of this filing, the Powell #3 well has been
plugged, reclaimed and abandoned.
Three Sands
Project
Acquisitions and
Sales of Oil and Gas Interests.
On October 6, 2005, we
acquired a 40% working interest in Vector Exploration Inc.’s Three Sands Project
for a total buy-in cost of $88,000 plus dry hole costs (the “Three Sands
Project”). Our working interest in the Three Sands Project includes
leasehold interests, one high-volume saltwater disposal well, one re-entry
production well, and three drilled wells. We also participate in
drilling operations and related costs, in proportion to our working
interest. The Three Sands Project is located in
Oklahoma.
During
the year ended October 31, 2006, we expended $530,081 in exploration costs for
the Three Sands Project. In June 2007, we acquired a 40% working
interest in the William #4-10 well for a total cost of $285,196 and paid a
further $17,000 in costs relating to the well. On March 19, 2008, we
participated in the KC 80#1-11 well
and paid
$75,000 for prepaid drilling costs. During March and April 2008, we
expended an additional $48,763 for intangible and tangible costs for the KC
80#1-11 well.
As of
April 30, 2008, our total costs associated with the Three Sands Project are
$1,029,967.
Operations.
During
the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, 599 Bbls of oil and 2,739 MCF of
natural gas were produced at the Three Sands Project.
Drilling
of the Kodesh #1 disposal well was completed on October 3, 2005, and drilling of
the Kodesh #2 well was completed on October 23, 2005. Completion and equipping
of these wells took place during mid-December 2005 through early January
2006.
The
Kodesh #2 well continues to produce oil on a daily basis, but is no longer
producing natural gas. As of April 30, 2008, it has produced 3,114 Bbls of oil
and 4,086 MCF of natural gas.
During
January 2007, we re-entered the Dye Estate #1 well. Production of
natural gas from the Dye Estate #1 well commenced in mid-August
2007. As of April 30, 2008, the Dye Estate #1 well has produced 1,630
MCF of natural gas and as is averaging natural gas production of 6 MCF per day.
Water from the Dye Estate #1 well is being disposed in the Kodesh #1 disposal
well.
We
commenced drilling the William #4-10 well in early June 2007, reaching a total
depth of 4,810 feet in mid-June 2007. Electric and radiation logs
indicated that the William #4-10 well contained four potential commercial pay
zones, the Wilcox Sand, Mississippi Lime, Layton Sand and the Tonkawa
Sand. Completion of the lowest zone, the Wilcox Sand, occurred in
mid-August 2007. Production from the William #4-10 well started in
mid-October 2007. Initial production rates from the William #4-10 well averaged
3.5 Bbls of oil and 10 MCF of natural gas per day. During January
2008, we moved up the hole and perforated and fracture treated the Mississippi
Lime Formation, increasing daily production to seven Bbls of oil and 25 MCF of
natural gas. As of April 30, 2008, the Williams #4-10 has produced
757 Bbls of oil and 3,575 MCF of natural gas.
Drilling
commenced on the KC 80 #1-11 well at the Three Sands Project in mid-February
2008 and reached total depth of 4,720 feet by the end of February
2008. The KC 80 #1-11 has been surveyed with radiation and electrical
logs. The primary target for the well is the upper Mississippian
Limestone and Chat Formation. The KC-80 well’s logs indicate significant
thickness of Chat and upper Mississippi Limestone with good porosity,
permeability, and hydrocarbon shows.
Completion
of the KC 80 #1-11 well started in late April 2008. The lowest pay
zone, the Mississippian was acidized and partially fracture
treated. As of April 30, 2008, the KC 80 #1-11 well is producing at a
rate of 60 Bbls of oil and 100 MCF of natural gas daily.
Palmetto Point
Projec
t
Acquisitions and
Sales of Oil and Gas Interests.
On February 28, 2006, we
acquired a 10% working interest before completion and an 8.5% revenue interest
after completion, in a 10-well program at the Palmetto Point Project operated by
Griffin & Griffin Exploration LLC (“Griffin & Griffin”) for a total
buy-in cost of $350,000 (the “Palmetto Point Project”). The Palmetto Point
Project is located in Mississippi. On September 26, 2006, we acquired two
additional wells (the PP F-6B and PP F52-A wells) within the Palmetto Point
Project for $70,000.
On
October 1, 2007, we acquired a 10% working interest in the PP F-12-2 and PP
F-12-3 wells within the Palmetto Point Project at a cost of
$69,862. On October 25, 2007, we paid $17,000 for a sidetrack, a
deviation of the existing PP-F-12-3 well at an angle to reach additional
targeted oil sands. On January 30, 2008, we incurred an additional
$36,498 for our share of workover costs, including costs to install tubing and
submersible pumps to maintain production rates. We subsequently paid
these costs on February 1, 2008.
As of
April 30, 2008, our total costs associated with the Palmetto Point Project, to
include our costs for the PP F-12-2 and PP F-12-3 wells, are
$543,360.
Operations.
During
the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, 4,304 Bbls of oil and 12,753 MCF of
natural gas were produced at the Palmetto Point Project.
As of
April 30, 2008, Griffin & Griffin, operator of the Palmetto Point Project,
drilled all ten of the wells in the Palmetto Point Project. Eight of
the wells were successful and two were dry holes, which were not
completed. Seven of the eight successful wells have been completed
and are currently producing. One of the eight wells, the PP F-12, was
completed as a flowing oil well in early October, 2007. The PP F-12
well flowed oil at rates of over 100 Bbls of oil per day and in December 2007
was offset by two additional wells, the PP F-12-2 and PP F-12-3. The
PP F-12-2 was a dry hole and the PP F-3 was completed as a flowing oil well.
Additionally, we commenced production at the PP F-6B and PP F52-A wells in
October 2007. In December 2007, the PP F52-A well started producing
oil along with the natural gas, flowing naturally. However, the well
ceased flowing during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and as a result, will be
placed on a pump during the third calendar quarter of 2008.
As of
April 30, 2008, our completed oil and gas wells at the Palmetto Point Project
have had total production of 197,819 MCF of natural gas and 19,451 Bbls of
oil. However, the current average daily production rate at the
Palmetto Point Project has dropped to 114 MCF per day of natural gas and 35 Bbls
of oil per day (from 450 MCF per day of natural gas and 85 Bbls
of oil per day at January 31, 2008). This decrease is a direct result
of flooding due to unseasonably heavy rains and snow melt at the Palmetto Point
Project.
Both the
PP F-12 PP F-3 oil well locations and several of our gas well locations have
been flooded at the Palmetto Point Project. Prior to the flooding, we
had partly completed work to install submersible pumps at each well, however,
the work could not be completed before the locations were
flooded. There has been virtually no damage to our surface equipment
located at the well heads, as our batteries and other production facilities are
located above the flood waters. Thus far, the only damage has been to
our recent lost production because the well had to be shut-in. We do
not believe that the flooding will adversely affect future oil recovery from
these wells. We expect the flood waters to recede by mid-summer 2008
and intend to resume full production by mid-August of 2008.
Mississippi
Frio-Wilcox Joint
Venture
Acquisitions and
Sales of Oil and Gas Interests.
On August 2, 2006, we executed
a memorandum agreement with Griffin & Griffin, (as operator of the project),
Delta Oil and Gas, Inc., Turner Valley Oil and Gas Company, Lexaria Corp., a
Nevada corporation (“Lexaria”), and the Stallion Group to participate in two
proposed drilling programs located in Southwest Mississippi and Northeast
Louisiana, comprised of up to 50 natural gas and/or oil wells, at a price of
$400,000 (the “Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture”). In exchange
for our interest, we paid $100,000 as of October 31, 2006 and an additional
$200,000 on November 16, 2006. As a result of weather related
delays, the requirement for our final payment of $100,000 was deferred and paid
in February 2007. We hold a 10% working interest in the Mississippi
Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture project before production and a prorated reduced
working interest after production based on the operator’s interest
portion.
On June
21, 2007, we assigned our future development interests and obligations for any
new wells on our Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture property to Lexaria for
the sum of $1. We believe the assigned interests to be of nominal
value. We have maintained our original interest, rights, title
and benefits to all seven wells drilled with our participation at the
Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture property between August 3, 2006 and June
19, 2007, specifically wells CMR-USA-39-14, Dixon #1, Faust #1 TEC F-1, CMR/BR
F-14, RB F-1 Red Bug #2, BR F-33, and Randall #1 F-4, and any offset wells that
could be drilled to any of these specified wells.
Operation
s.
During
the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, 43,107 MCF of natural gas was
produced at the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture.
Nine
wells were drilled on the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture, of which, five
wells were initially deemed successful and four wells were dry holes and were
not completed. One of the five wells initially deemed to be
successful was the BR F-24. However, subsequent testing of the BR
F-24 indicated that it was not commercially viable and the well was plugged and
abandoned in 2007. The four remaining successful wells were the Faust
#1, USA 39-14, USA 1-37 and the BR F-33. The USA 39-14 and BR f-30
have been completed and are now also producing natural gas. As of
April 30, 2008, these three wells have produced 128,347 MCF of natural gas and
are currently averaging a combined daily flow of 505 MCF per day of natural
gas. No further exploration wells are currently planned for this
project.
Mineral
Interests
Antelope
Pass
In 2005,
we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order
to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or
exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the three month
period ended April 30, 2008 or during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 or
2006. At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will
proceed with the Antelope Pass Project.
Results
of Operations
Three
months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended April 30,
2007.
We
realized revenues of $380,472 during the three months ended April 30, 2008,
compared with $282,400 during the three months ended April 30, 2007, an increase
of $98,072, due to our increased oil and gas production as well as increased oil
and natural gas prices. During the three-month period ended April 30,
2008, 12,712 Bbls of oil and 61,021 MCF of natural gas were produced at our
oil and gas properties. However, we can provide no assurance that we
will continue to produce commercially exploitable levels of oil and gas
resources on our properties, or if additional resources are discovered, that we
will enter into commercial production of such oil and gas
properties.
For the
three months ended April 30, 2008, our net income was $135,451, compared with
$41,106 for the three months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of
$94,345. The increase of our net income was largely attributable to
the increase in our revenues and the decrease of our direct costs as a
percentage of revenues.
We
incurred direct costs of $245,021 during the three months ended April 30, 2008,
compared with $240,813 during the three months ended April 30, 2007, an increase
of $4,208. Our depletion and accretion costs were $62,075 during the
three months ended April 30, 2008, compared with $82,384 during the three months
ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $20,309. The decrease in our
depletion costs is related to an increase in our reserves. We use the reserve
report prepared during the last quarter of fiscal 2007 to calculate depletion on
a quarterly basis for the following year. The reserve report indicated
that our reserves increased relative to prior periods, which resulted in lower
depletion for the current quarter.
Our
general and administrative costs decreased to $110,261 for the three months
ended April 30, 2008, from $115,362 for the three months ended April 30,
2007.
The
decreases in our depletion and accretion costs and general and administrative
costs were offset by an increase in our production costs. Our
production costs during the three months ended April 30, 2008 were $72,685,
compared with $43,067 during the three months ended April 30, 2007, an
increase of $29,618, all directly attributable to our increased oil and gas
activities.
Our
accumulated deficit through April 30, 2008 was $124,903.
Six
months ended April 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended April 30,
2007.
We
realized revenues of $875,764 during the six months ended April 30, 2008,
compared with $530,189 during the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase
of $345,575, due to our increased oil and gas production as well as increased
oil and natural gas prices. However, we can provide no assurance that we will
continue to produce commercially exploitable levels of oil and gas resources on
our properties, or if additional resources are discovered, that we will enter
into commercial production of such oil and gas properties.
For the
six months ended April 30, 2008, our net income was $358,707, compared with
$25,259 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of
$333,448. The increase of our net income was largely attributable to
the increase in our revenues and the decrease of our direct costs as a
percentage of revenues.
We
incurred direct costs of $516,848 during the six months ended April 30, 2008,
compared with $503,866 during the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase
of $12,982. Our depletion and accretion costs were $145,130 during
the six months ended April 30, 2008, compared with $264,150 during the six
months ended April 30, 2008, a decrease of $119,020. The decrease in
our depletion costs is related to an increase in our reserves. We
use the
reserve report prepared during the last quarter of fiscal 2007 to calculate
depletion on a quarterly basis for the following year. The reserve report
indicated that our reserves increased relative to prior periods, which resulted
in lower depletion for the current quarter.
The
decrease in our depletion and accretion costs was offset by an increase in our
production costs and general and administrative costs. Our production
costs during the six months ended April 30, 2008 were $139,710, compared with
$64,026 during the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of $75,684, all
directly attributable to our increased oil and gas activities. Our
general and administrative costs increased to $232,008 for the six months ended
April 30, 2008, from $175,690 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, an
increase of $56,318. The increase in our general and administrative
costs was largely attributable to an increase in costs associated with
professional legal and accounting services necessary as a reporting issuer under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and stock based compensation costs of
$26,077.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
April 30, 2008, we had cash of $374,817 and working capital of $542,497,
compared to cash of $42,257 and working capital of $107,602 as of October 31,
2007. Our accounts receivable decreased to $232,954 at April 30,
2008, compared with $281,500 at October 31, 2007, a decrease of
$48,546.
During
the six months ended April 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities
increased to $497,053, compared with $328,042 during the six months ended April
30, 2007, an increase of $169,011, largely due to our increased oil and gas
production.
Net cash
used by investing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2008 was
$143,779, compared with $712,261 during the six months ended April 30, 2007, a
decrease of $568,482. This decrease is largely due to lessened
acquisition activity in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.
We used
cash of $20,714 for financing activities during the six months ended April 30,
2008, compared with $10,000 during the six months ended April 30,
2007. We had no proceeds from the sale of our common stock during the
six months ended April 30, 2008 or 2007, respectively.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
April 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Oil and Gas
Interests
We utilize the full cost method of
accounting for oil and gas activities. Under this method, subject to
a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property
acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful
exploration, are capitalized within a cost center. No gain or loss is
recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas
interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas
interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized
costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost
center. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas
interests is computed on the units of production method based on proved
reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not yet been
established due to the recent commencement of production. Amortizable
costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped
reserves.
Capitalized costs of oil and gas
interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at
10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves
plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved
interests. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an
impairment is recognized. The present value of estimated future net
cash flows is computed by applying year end prices of oil and gas to estimated
future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year end, less estimated
future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic
conditions.
Asset Retirement
Obligations
We follow SFAS 143 “Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”). SFAS 143 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. SFAS 143 requires recognition of the present value of
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the
period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part
of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time,
accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the
capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related
asset. Our asset retirement obligations are related to the plugging,
dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of our oil and
gas exploration activities.
Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as statements made by
us in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our officials to
analysts and shareholders in the course of presentations about the company,
constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forward looking statements. Such factors include,
among other things, (1) general economic and business conditions; (2) interest
rate changes; (3) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (4)
government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources
industries; (5) required accounting changes; (6) disputes or claims regarding
our property interests; and (7) other factors over which we have little or no
control.
Going
Concern
The
report of our independent auditors on the financial statements for the year
ended October 31, 2007, included an explanatory paragraph relating to the
uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going
concern. Additionally, our accumulated deficit through April 30, 2008
was $124,903. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding to engage in further
exploration of our oil and gas properties nor is there assurance that our
operations will continue to be profitable.

4T. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation
Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, our sole officer carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our sole
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
In
conducting his evaluation concerning the current three-month period ended April
30, 2008, our sole officer considered the previous determination that there was
a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting in
connection with our three-month period ended January 31,
2008. Although we are not required to segregate the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer functions and we are not
required to have an audit committee, our sole officer concluded that because our
sole officer serves in both of these functions and we do not have an audit
committee, we had a material weakness in our internal controls, and further,
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of January 31, 2008.
Further,
based on his evaluation concerning the three-month period ended April 30, 2008,
our sole officer concluded that the underlying causes concerning a material
weakness in our internal controls, as well as the determination that that the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective, remained unresolved. As a result, our sole officer has concluded that
we had a material weakness in our internal controls and the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of
the period covered by this report, April 30, 2008. Our sole officer
considered various mitigating factors in making his
determination. There were no changes in our internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent
to the date of evaluation. Further, our sole officer also noted that
we are still evaluating changes in our internal controls in response to the
requirements of Sarbanes Oxley §404. During the remainder of fiscal
2008, we will implement appropriate changes as they are identified, including
changes to remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Changes
In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In
connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal
quarter, our sole officer has concluded that there were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended April 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
