DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were
incorporated in Delaware on December 15, 1999. On December 22, 1999 we merged
with Island Critical Care Corp., an inactive Florida corporation. The purpose of
this merger was to effect a change in the domicile of the Florida Corporation to
Delaware. Island Critical Care Corp. (a Florida corporation), was originally
incorporated on March 15, 1996 under the name 9974 Holdings Inc., and
subsequently changed its name from 9974 Holdings Inc. to Ontario Midwestern
Railway Co. Inc, and finally the Florida Corporation's name was changed to
Midwestern Railway Co. Inc. All three changes in name of the Florida Corporation
were completed prior to its merger with the Delaware Corporation. On January 13,
2000, we merged with Island Critical Care Corporation, an Ontario Corporation.
On December 27, 2004 we changed our name from Island Critical Care to Kodiak
Energy, Inc ("Kodiak").
On
February 5, 2003 the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy in the District of
Prince Edward Island, Division No. 01-Prince Edward Island Court No. 1713,
Estate No. 51-104460. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy pursuant to a court
order on April 7, 2004 with no assets and no liabilities. Upon emergence from
bankruptcy the company adopted Fresh Start Accounting pursuant to SOP 90-7
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy
Code."
BUSINESS
The
Company is an exploration stage oil and gas company that devotes most of its
efforts in exploring for natural resources and, since 2005, has been active in
Canada and the United States in acquiring properties that are prospective for
petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbons. The Company currently has no
oil and gas reserves or production.
As at
December 31, 2008, the Company had four wholly-owned subsidiaries; Kodiak
Petroleum ULC (“KULC”), an inactive Alberta company; 1438821 Alberta
Ltd.(”1438821”), an Alberta company incorporated in November, 2008 and which
changed its name to Cougar Energy, Inc. (“Cougar”) in February, 2009; Kodiak
Petroleum (Montana), Inc. (“KPMI”), a Delaware company which operates Kodiak’s
projects in New Mexico and Montana and Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc. (“KPUI”),
an inactive Delaware company. In January, 2009, The Company vended its Lucy,
B.C. and Cree Energy Alberta Lands projects into Cougar. See
Subsequent Event Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements included with
this Form 10-K.
Following
are descriptions of the Company's current projects.
Canada
Lucy – Northern British
Columbia
The
Corporation is the operator and 80% working interest owner of a 1,920 acre lease
located in Northeastern British Columbia. The Corporation believes the lease is
situated on the southeast edge of the Horn River Basin and the Muskwa Shale gas
prospect. Industry continues to show increased interest in this shale gas play
with several comparisons of the Muskwa Shale gas potential as an analogue of the
Barnett Shale gas potential.
The
Corporation has been involved in two previous drilling operations on the lease.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, Kodiak farmed in as a non-operated partner,
paying 10% to earn 7.5%, on a drilling operation in the Lucy (Gunnell) area.
This first drilling operation, designed to target a Middle Devonian reef
prospect, had several operational problems and was unsuccessful.
After
performing an internal review of seismic and drilling data, it was determined
there was a seismic anomaly on the southern half of the lease. This anomaly was
identified on several different seismic lines and a decision was made to drill a
well on that part of the lease to evaluate both the anomaly as the primary
target and the Muskwa Shale, seen in the first well but not evaluated by the
operator at that time.
In the
third quarter of 2007, the Corporation served partners with an independent
operations notice which resulted in the Corporation increasing its working
interest in the lease to 80%.
In the
first quarter of 2008, a second drilling operation was completed and a vertical
well was cased. It was determined that the Middle Devonian seismic anomaly was
not a reef buildup and the wellbore was cased due to encountering significant
gas shows in the previously identified Muskwa Shale with a formation thickness
of approximately sixty meters.
The
Corporation submitted an application to the British Columbia Oil & Gas
Commission (“OGC”) for an experimental scheme to test the Muskwa Shale gas
potential. On August 12, 2008, Kodiak received the final approval of the Lucy
experimental scheme application. The Corporation has prepared a multi-phase work
program designed to test the deliverability of the Muskwa Shale gas formation
using vertical and horizontal drilling and completion techniques. Kodiak’s
proposed work program would allow for early production into a pipeline in order
to monitor long-term deliverability rates and pressures of horizontal and
vertical test wells on the periphery of the Horn River Basin.
These
results would be some of the first commercial production results for a Horn
River Basin shale gas project and would provide information that would help
define the effective exploration area of the Basin and assist in the validation
of adjoining properties in a divestiture process, should that
occur.
Kodiak
contracted an industry-recognized shale gas assessment laboratory to prepare and
analyze the drill cuttings from the 2008 well in order to evaluate the Muskwa
Shale interval for gas potential. The shale gas assessment is conducted by
performing various tests on the rock cuttings that were obtained while drilling
the well in order to determine the type, quality and amount of both adsorbed and
free gas.
The most
important conclusion from the drill cutting analysis is that the information
received continues to support the evaluation of Kodiak’s Muskwa (Evie) Shale gas
prospect. The laboratory data is consistent with other public industry and
government data on the Muskwa Shale. It should also be noted that the numbers
obtained on the laboratory analysis of drill cuttings may be conservative due to
the nature of sampling drill cuttings on a drilling rig. Another significant
point is that all three wells on the Kodiak lease, drilled deep enough to
penetrate the Muskwa Shale, had elevated gas detector readings while penetrating
the shales.
The
prospect is still in the early stages of delineation and no assurance can be
given that its exploitation will be successful. However, based on well cuttings
and drilling data, Kodiak’s internal technical analysis has estimated the volume
of adsorbed and free gas in the Muskwa (Evie) shales to have potential net
reserves of 41 bcf per section or 123 bcf total. Based on estimated 25% recovery
factor on the three sections of land, we estimate a total of 30.75 bcf
recoverable contingent resources. In calculating this number, the Corporation
used all of the laboratory analysis findings and wellbore information obtained
during the drilling operation. For reference, this internally calculated volume
is between the “best” and “high” calculations listed in the Chapman report that
only had the TOC analysis and industry available data. Further appraisal work is
required before these estimates can be finalized and commerciality
assessed.
The
current intention is to perform the following work commitments for the license
(target dates are subject to change as new information becomes
available):
|
·
|
Second
Quarter 2009 and Third Quarter 2009 - Perforate the Muskwa intervals,
perform a vertical shale gas fracture treatment, test and evaluate
pressures and production and, if economic, equip and tie in well to an
existing pipeline approximately 1 Km from the
wellhead.
|
|
·
|
First
Quarter 2010 and Second Quarter 2010 – Drill and case a 1000 meter
horizontal leg from an existing cased vertical well on the lease, perform
a horizontal staged fracture treatment, test and evaluate pressures and
production and, if economic, equip and tie in well to
pipeline.
|
CREEnergy Lands,
Alberta
On
November 28, 2008, Kodiak entered into a binding letter agreement with CREEnergy
Oil and Gas Inc., a company which is the authorized agent of Peerless/Trout Lake
First Nation and Alberta Cree Nation, which are new First Nations in various
stages of ratification from the federal Government of Canada to satisfy
outstanding Treaty Land Entitlement claims. As part of the Treaty Land
Entitlement settlements it is expected these new First Nations will receive
approximately 15 townships or 540 sections of mineral rights for development in
Alberta.
In
exchange for Kodiak advancing certain contracted funds and making work program
commitments, the Corporation will have an exclusive opportunity to develop
certain identified oil and gas properties within the Peerless/Trout Lake First
Nation and the Alberta Cree Nation. The joint venture is based on a confidential
letter of intent with a term sheet and a head agreement for developing the
relationship going forward. This arrangement is designed to be the stepping
stone for a larger scale oil and gas development project.
Kodiak
will initially have the opportunity to select up to approximately two townships
(72 sections or 46,000 acres) of mineral rights from the combined Peerless/Trout
Lake First Nations identified lands and Alberta Cree Nation identified lands.
The leases will be for ten years, paid up with all rights. Kodiak will submit to
CREEnergy a development plan for the two selected townships on or before May 1,
2009 with a goal to begin exploration and development operations on or before
November 1, 2009. CREEnergy and Kodiak will discuss terms and conditions for the
development of other townships of land on or before May 1, 2010.
Little Chicago – Northwest
Territories
The
Company is the operator and largest working interest owner of the 201,160
acre Exploration Licence 413 (“EL 413”) in the Mackenzie River Valley
centered along the planned Mackenzie Valley Pipeline.
In 2006,
the Company signed an exploration farm-in agreement with the two 50% working
interest owners of EL 413. The company reprocessed 50 km of existing
seismic data in Q4 of 2006 and during the 2006-07 winter work season, the
Company shot and acquired 84 km of high resolution proprietary 2D seismic and
gravity survey data on the farm-out lands, thus earning a 12.5% working interest
in the property. In September, 2007, the Company acquired Thunder River Energy,
Inc.’s (“Thunder”) remaining 43.75% in the property giving the Company a 56.25%
interest in EL 413. A letter of intent signed earlier in 2008 with the Company’s
remaining partner in the project, which would have allowed Kodiak to acquire the
balance of the working interest in EL 413 and become a 100% working interest
owner, recently expired.
A 2007-08
43 km 2D high resolution proprietary seismic program and gravity survey was
completed on the property and the results were processed and interpreted and
used to support the Corporations planned drilling program. This project was
completed on budget and schedule. The seismic and gravity data from the two
projects show substantial structural closure and formation character and support
the planning for a future multiple well drilling program. That data was included
in an updated Chapman Prospective Resource report published in May,
2008.
The
decision to acquire additional seismic and gravity data in the winter of 2007-08
was made to improve the potential to drill both the Devonian Bear Rock and the
Basal Cambrian Sand targets from a common drilling site. This would
substantially lower drilling costs on a per well basis and reduce the overall
project risk.
Kodiak
has analyzed the 2007-08 seismic data and the various reservoir indicators/lands
and identified 11 drill locations. These drill locations have been selected to
evaluate three primary target formations on EL 413 including the Devonian Bear
Rock Oil Prospect, the Basal Cambrian Sand /Top Precambrian Oil and Gas Prospect
and the Canol Oil Prospect. These locations have been further high graded into a
two phase drilling program consisting of two wells with a planned total depth of
2400 meters each targeting both the Basal Cambrian/Precambrian and the Bear Rock
prospects and a multi-well shallow drilling program with a planned total depth
of 400m each targeting the Canol prospect. A scouting trip was completed in the
third quarter of 2008 which allowed the Corporation to review potential access
routes, well sites and camp locations.
The
Devonian Bear Rock Prospect (“Bear Rock”) is the first described target and is
located at a shallow depth of approximately 700 meters (2,300 ft.). This
reservoir was previously identified and preliminarily evaluated in the initial
Chapman Report prepared in 2005. The expected product from the reservoir is
light and medium oil, with no consideration to solution gas.
The
combined seismic obtained during 2007 and 2008 acknowledged a series of pools
distributed throughout the project. The Chapman Report identified fifteen Bear
Rock leads located along the seismic lines with five of them being selected as
well defined high grade Bear Rock leads. This is an increase of 5 additional
leads from the initial 2007 work program. Indicators of these potentially
prolific reservoirs are present along several seismic lines that may imply these
Bear Rock occurrences to be present throughout EL 413.
The
additional 2008 seismic further defined a hydrocarbon trap in the Basal Cambrian
Sand sitting on the top of the Precambrian. This interval, found at a depth of
approximately 2,300 meters (7,545 feet), has never been regionally penetrated
and tested; however, it has been proven as a productive reservoir in the
Colville Hills area approximately 125 kilometers (77 miles) east of EL
413. With this additional data, the Chapman Report identified five
drilling locations that will allow the Basal Cambrian Sand and the top of the
Precambrian to be drilled and tested.
Physical
evidence of hydrocarbons is present with a natural surface oil seep on the
northern edge of the license area on the banks of the Mackenzie River. This
natural occurrence is suggestive of a shallow oil pool, possibly in the Canol
formation, and warrants further investigation. While reviewing core samples and
well logs from previous regional drilling activity. Kodiak was able to map out
the Canol/Imperial formation and determine that it is the likely source of the
natural surface seeps. This prospect will be found on the Northwest quarter of
EL 413 and is at a very shallow depth of approximately 350 meters (1,148 feet).
The Corporation has identified 5 drilling locations which will be evaluated
during a planned future project drilling program.
Kodiak is
preparing for the previously mentioned drilling program and has commenced work
on the necessary permits and applications. The Corporation is working with the
Sahtu and the Gwich’in, which are the beneficiaries of the land claims
containing the EL 413 licence. The Corporation does not believe there will be
any difficulty finishing the Access and Benefits Agreement prior to submitting
the final applications to the regulators for approval. The Corporation is
currently in discussions with other industry partners to share in the costs of
the drilling programs, thus reducing risk and capital commitments. Financing
plans will be finalized when overall partnerships are established. Kodiak
intends on retaining operatorship.
In
addition, Kodiak has made application with regulators to extend the EL 413
license and has recently received written notification from Indian and Northern
Affairs Canada that a 1 year extension is available to the EL 413 licence. The
licence extension is subject to certain terms and conditions, which Kodiak is
presently reviewing for consideration.
Province/Granlea – Southeast
Alberta
The
Corporation purchased a 50% working interest in two sections (1280 acres gross -
640 net) of P&NG rights at a provincial land sale on September 22, 2005. In
2005, a 2D seismic program was completed on the property and in 2006, a well was
drilled and completed; surface facilities were installed and a pipeline tie-in
was completed. Production commenced in September, 2006. The well produced for a
short period until excess water rates occurred and in October, 2006 the well was
shut in. After the well bore was evaluated as having no current economic
production potential, the well was abandoned. An internal geological review of
the prospect will be done to determine if any further drilling is
warranted.
United
States
New
Mexico
Through
its acquisition of Thunder, the Corporation acquired a 100% interest in 55,000
acres of property located in northeast New Mexico. Additional land acquisitions
have increased the Corporation’s land position to approximately 79,000 acres.
These lands have potential for natural gas and CO2 and oil and helium resources
at shallow depths. In 2008, the Corporation purchased 19,000 stations of gravity
data and 37 miles of trade seismic data, completed a 35 mile 2D high resolution
proprietary seismic program and a three well drilling program.
The three
wells were drilled with air to reduce formation damage and they were cased to
the base of the Yeso formation. Based on gas detector results, drill cutting
samples and open hole logs, all wells showed three potential shallow porous
sandstone formations capable of CO2 production with up to 200 feet of identified
net pay thickness. The Yeso, Glorieta and Santa Rosa formations were perforated
and flow tested to determine deliverability and pressure. There were multiple
gas samples analyzed at specialized independent laboratories from two separate
extended flow tests that identified CO2 concentration quality from 98.4% to
99.5%. Two of the wells were stimulated with a nitrified acid squeeze and were
able to sustain an extended flow rate of approximately 375mcf/d. The shallow
sands have been mapped using offset well control and the newly acquired seismic
data and the Corporation has determined there is a very high likelihood of
encountering the target formations throughout the leased project area; provided,
however, that no assurance can be given that this will be the case.
The 35
mile 2D high resolution seismic program was completed on schedule and on budget
and after reviewing the seismic data, the Company was able to effectively map
out a probable long term development area which would result in CO2 production
from the previously identified formations. The seismic is currently being
evaluated to identify possible conventional oil and gas prospects on the leased
project area.
A
preliminary project feasibility study was commissioned to identify capital
development costs and timelines as well as projected operating costs in order to
provide information to support a large scale long-term plan of
development. This information will enable the definitions for pipeline
access planning and negotiation, transportation agreements, sales contracts for
the CO2, additional land acquisition terms and conditions, facility engineering
and construction and ultimately the parameters for financing the project
development.
Several
companies have expressed interest in participating in the New Mexico properties
at several levels of involvement. There is also potential for the
integration of the CO2 production into Permian Basin enhanced oil recovery
projects.
Montana
During
2006, the Company, under a joint venture farmout agreement, participated in a
seismic acquisition program and a two well drilling program to earn a 50%
non-operating working interest in the wells and well spacing. This joint venture
project provides the company with the right to participate on a 50% basis
going forward on this prospect in the Hill County area of Montana. The
Operator of the project had 60,000 contiguous undeveloped acres of P&NG
rights in the area, as well as some excess capacity in facilities and pipelines.
Two wells were drilled in the third quarter of 2006; one is cased for subsequent
evaluation of the multiple zones found and one was abandoned. In order to
facilitate the efficient exploration of this prospect area, the company has
acquired from the original operator a 100% working interest of 12,000 acres of
P&NG rights while retaining the right to participate and initiate operations
on the remaining approximate 48,000 acres of prospect leases. After an internal
geological review of this prospect, and in light of current commodity prices,
consideration is being given to the divestiture of the property and the company
is working jointly with our partner to obtain the best value.
ITEM

RISK
FACTORS
Going Concern
Uncertainty
There is
uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes
the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash
flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional
working capital for its future planned activities. The June, 2008 financing and
the 2009 financings described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial
statements, will provide sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s
operations until mid 2009 when additional financing will be required. These
conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The
Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty includes additional equity and
debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be
obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not
reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would
be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.
Financial Markets
Instability and Uncertainty
The
2008-09 worldwide financial and credit crisis has reduced the availability of
capital and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of industrial business
operations worldwide. The shortage of capital and credit combined with recent
substantial losses in worldwide equity markets has led to an extended worldwide
economic recession. The slowdown in economic activity caused by this recession
is reducing worldwide demand for energy and resulting in lower oil and natural
gas and other commodity prices. A prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas
prices will depress the immediate levels of exploration, development and
production activity. That is impacting negatively on our Company’s ability to
raise capital to finance our ongoing capital projects. The Company may be
required to consider divestiture of some properties or working interests to
raise funds. Until the financial market conditions improve, we will face
significant challenges in meeting our ongoing financial obligations. This global
financial crisis may have impacts on our business and financial condition that
we currently cannot predict.
The Oil and Gas Industry Is
Highly Competitive
The oil
& gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas
companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have
longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other
resources than we do. We compete with companies in other industries supplying
energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Many of these companies not only
explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining
operations and market petroleum and other products on a worldwide basis. Our
larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can
more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive
advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb
the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which
we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices of gas and oil more
easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for productive oil
and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and
purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Our ability
to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to
conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement
advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive
environment.
Government
a
nd Environmental
Regulation
Our
business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of
government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of
our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other
environmental protection issues. The laws and regulations may, among other
potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing
drilling, restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with
drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on
protected areas such as wetlands or wilderness areas, require that reclamation
measures be taken to prevent pollution from former operations, require remedial
measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging
abandoned wells and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and
require remedial measures to be taken with respect to property designated as a
contaminated site.
Under
these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up
costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative,
civil and criminal penalties. We maintain limited insurance coverage for sudden
and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs
over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full
potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost.
Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on
properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs
of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our
business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations
could occur that may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines
and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operations.
The Successful
Implementation Of Our Business Plan Is Subject To Risks Inherent In The Oil
& Gas Business.
Our oil
and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with
exploration, development and production activities, including the necessity of
significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill
exploratory wells. In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and
operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development
activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in
formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development
and production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss
of our investment in a particular property. If exploration efforts are
unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease,
the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as
impairments.
We Expect Our Operating
Expenses To Increase Substantially In The Future And May Need To Raise
Additional Funds.
We have a
history of net losses and expect that we expect to incur additional our
operating expenses over the next 12 months as we continue to implement our
business plan. In addition, we may experience a material decrease in liquidity
due to unforeseen expenses or other events and uncertainties. As a result, we
may need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on
favourable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we
may not be able to execute on our business plan, take advantage of future
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.
This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We Are An Exploration Stage
Company Implementing A New Business Plan.
We are an
exploration stage company with only a limited operating history upon which to
base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects, and we have
just begun to implement our business plan. Since our inception, we have suffered
recurring losses from operations and have been dependent on new investment to
sustain our operations. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and
2005, we reported losses of $2,074,649, $2,571,663 (Restated), 2,867,374 and
1,133,790 respectively. In addition, our consolidated financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 contained a going concern
qualification and we cannot give any assurances that we can achieve profits from
operations.
Our Ability To Produce
Sufficient Quantities Of Oil & Gas From Our Properties May Be Adversely
Affected By A Number Of Factors Outside Of Our Control.
The
business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk
of investment loss. Drilling oil wells involves the risk that the wells may be
unproductive or that, although productive, that the wells may not produce oil or
gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected
geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of
drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent
completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling
operations. A productive well may become uneconomic due to pressure depletion,
water encroachment, mechanical difficulties, etc, which impair or prevent the
production of oil and/or gas from the well.
There can
be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which
we have interests. In addition, the marketability of any oil and gas that we
acquire or discover may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control.
These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and
processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land
tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how
these factors may affect our business.
In
addition, the success of our business is dependent upon the efforts of various
third parties that we do not control. We rely upon various companies to assist
us in identifying desirable oil and gas prospects to acquire and to provide us
with technical assistance and services. We also rely upon the services of
geologists, geophysicists, chemists, engineers and other scientists to explore
and analyze oil prospects to determine a method in which the oil prospects may
be developed in a cost-effective manner. In addition, we rely upon the owners
and operators of oil drilling equipment to drill and develop our prospects to
production. Although we have developed relationships with a number of
third-party service providers, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue
to rely on such persons. If any of these relationships with third-party service
providers are terminated or are unavailable on commercially acceptable terms, we
may not be able to execute our business plan.
Market Fluctuations In The
Prices Of Oil & Gas Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
Prices
for oil and natural gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors
beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to actions of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its maintenance of production
constraints, the U.S. economic environment, weather conditions, the availability
of alternate fuel sources, transportation interruption, the impact of drilling
levels on crude oil and natural gas supply, and the environmental and access
issues that could limit future drilling activities for the
industry.
Changes
in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity
and expected operating results. Price changes directly affect revenues and can
indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available
to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas
prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the
quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines
in prices could result in charges to earnings due to impairment.
Changes
in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the
value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause
disruption in the market for oil producing properties, as buyers and sellers
have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also
makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and
development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will
continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Risks Of Penny Stock
Investing
The
Company's common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" because it meets one
or more of the definitions in the Exchange Act Rule 3a51-1, a Rule made
effective on July 15, 1992. These include but are not limited to the
following:(i) the stock trades at a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per
share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is
NOT quoted on the NASD's automated quotation system (NASDAQ), or even if so, has
a price less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; OR (iv) is issued by a company
with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if in business more than three
years continuously, or $5,000,000, if in business less than a continuous three
years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the past three
years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is
that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it
on an unsolicited basis.
Risks Related To
Broker-Dealer Requirements Involving Penny Stocks / Risks Affecting Trading And
Liquidity
Section
15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2
promulgated there under by the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in
penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks
of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the
document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's
account. These rules may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity in the secondary market, if and when one develops.
Potential
investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such
disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny
stock." Moreover, Commission Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks
to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before
selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the
broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her
financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii)
reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient
knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of
penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement
setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Pursuant to the
Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers are further obligated to provide
customers with monthly account statements. Compliance with the foregoing
requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's stock to
resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the
market or otherwise.
Our controls and procedures
have not been effective and we have restated our financial
statements.
In the
fiscal years 2007 and 2008, management has identified issues concerning the
effectiveness of our controls and procedures. As a result, it has
been determined that they have not been effective. One of the results
has been the need to restate the unaudited and audited financial statements for
certain periods in 2005 through 2008. The financial statements as originally
filed for those periods should not be relied upon.
The
company will take measures to remediate the failures in effectiveness of the
controls and procedures. Currently, the company has plans for certain
actions, but they will take time to implement because of their
cost. There can be no assurance when remediation will be complete, if
at all. Therefore, future reports may have statements indicating that
the Company’s controls and procedures are not effective. Additionally, future
financial statements may have to be restated if as a result of the
ineffectiveness of controls and procedures the statements are
inaccurate.
ITEM 1B.
UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
On
November 13, 2007, the Company filed with the Commission an SB-2 registration
statement pertaining to the common shares of the Company issued in connection
with the private placement financings in September, October and November, 2007
and the September, 2007 Thunder property acquisition. The Commission responded
to the Company with certain comments and questions regarding the SB-2
registration statement and other comments and questions relating to the
Company’s December 31, 2006 Annual Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Forms 10-QSB for
the periods ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. Since that time and in an
effort to resolve all outstanding comments, the Company and Commission have
exchanged additional correspondence. During the process, the Company has
withdrawn its SB-2 registration statement and the Commission has had additional
comments and questions relating to the Company’s September 30, 2007 Quarterly
Report 10-QSB, December 31, 2007 Annual Report 10-K and its Quarterly Forms 10-Q
for March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2008. The Company believes that with the
restatements reflected in the amended Form 10-K
report
for the year ended December 31, 2007, amended Form 10-Q/A report for the period
ended September 30, 2007 and the filing of the Form 10-K report for the year
ended December 31, 2008, it has resolved all staff comments except one matter
relating to certain 2006 shares issued for services.
In
addition to the above correspondence, the Company has received a letter dated
March 23, 2009 from the Commission with certain comments and questions relating
to the Company’s March 17, 2009 Form 8-K. The Company is in process of drafting
responses to the Commission’s letters of March 13 and 23.
At this
time, the Company cannot determine if there are any additional comments or if
the outstanding comments will be resolved.

A
developed acre is considered to mean those acres spaced or assignable to
productive wells, a gross acre is an acre in which a working interest is owned,
and a net acre is the result that is obtained when fractional ownership working
interest is multiplied by gross acres. The number of net acres is the sum of the
factional working interests owned in gross acres expressed as whole numbers and
fractions thereof.
Undeveloped
acreage is considered to be those lease acres on which wells have not been
drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial
quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether or not that acreage
contains proved reserves, but does not include undrilled acreage held by
production under the terms of a lease. As is customary in the oil and gas
industry, we can generally retain our interest in undeveloped acreage by
drilling activity that establishes commercial production sufficient to maintain
the leases or by paying delay rentals during the remaining primary term of such
a lease. The oil and natural gas leases in which we have an interest are for
varying primary terms, and if production continues from our developed lease
acreage beyond the primary term, we are entitled to hold the lease for as long
as oil or natural gas is produced.
Employees
Up to
December 31, 2008, the Company has utilized a small number of full-time
employees and some full-time and part-time consultants as its personnel to
conduct its business and carry out its business plan. As at that date, three
full-time employees, two full time consultants and three part-time consultants
were engaged by the Company.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The
Company is not presently a party to any litigation.
Brink
Litigation
On or
about June 18, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”) with Brink Energy Ltd. (“Brink”), a private Alberta oil and gas
corporation, with respect to a proposed Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”),
in accordance with the Alberta Business Corporations Act, which provided for the
Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Brink (the “Transaction”).
Under the Arrangement, the holders of common shares of Brink (“Brink Shares”)
would have received for each Brink Share, at the election of the Brink
shareholder, either: (i) 0.411 of a common share of the Company, or (ii) $0.575
plus 0.2055 of a Company share, subject to an aggregate maximum amount of cash
paid to Brink shareholders of Cdn. $7 million. Assuming Brink shareholders had
elected to receive the $7 million maximum cash consideration, the balance of the
consideration for the Brink Shares would have been paid in common shares of the
Company. The Letter Agreement provided that a non-completion fee would be
payable by Brink to Kodiak, as liquidated damages, by way of a transfer of
Brink’s interest in certain lands in the event there was a breach or
non-performance by Brink of a material provision of the Letter
Agreement.
In
addition, in June, 2008, the Company loaned $980,681 (Cdn. $1 million) to Brink,
which loan bore interest at prime plus 2% and was convertible into common shares
of Brink under certain circumstances.
In a
letter dated August 18, 2008, Brink’s counsel, on behalf of the Board of
Directors of Brink, advised the Company that it was not going to proceed with
the Transaction. On September 12, 2008, the Company filed in the
Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary, a Statement of
Claim against Brink in which the Company claimed, among other things, repayment
of its loan, including accrued interest thereon, and the transfer to the Company
of certain lands of Brink in satisfaction of Brink’s Non-completion fee
obligation arising out of Brink’s termination of the Transaction. On September
29, 2008, Brink filed in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Judicial
District of Calgary, a Statement of Defence in which Brink denied all of the
allegations in the Company’s Statement of Claim. At the same time, Brink filed a
Counterclaim in which Brink claimed, among other things, that Kodiak breached
covenants of the Letter Agreement and that Kodiak was obligated to Brink for a
Non-completion fee of $1 million.
On
October 7, 2008, the Company filed a Statement of Defence denying all of Brink’s
allegations in its Counterclaim.
In
November, 2008, a settlement agreement was reached between the parties which
included the repayment by Brink of the Company’s loan, payment of accrued
interest on the loan of $25,547 and payment of $200,000 to the Company in
resolution of all other claims between the parties. These settlement amounts
were paid to the Company in November, 2008 and all claims by both parties have
been dismissed.

The
Company has not paid cash dividends since inception. The Company intends to
retain all of its earnings, if any, for use in its business and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of
any future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and
will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, the success of
the company's business activities, capital requirements, the general financial
condition and future prospects of the company, general business conditions and
such other factors as the board of directors may deem relevant.
EQUITY
COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
On
January 4, 2006, our board of directors adopted a stock option plan. This plan
was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual meetings held on
July 18, 2006, August 14, 2007 and December 3, 2008 in Calgary, Alberta. The
plan originally authorized a total of 4,300,000 common shares to be granted as
stock option awards under the plan. At the 2007 annual meeting, shareholders
approved an increase in the authorized total to 8,000,000 common shares. At the
December 3, 2008 annual meeting, certain amendments were made which amendments
are set out in detail in the Company’s Proxy Statement as filed with the
Commission on October 27, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, no options had been
exercised. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for certain
equity plan information.

ITEM
7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
Forward Looking
Statements
From time
to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking
statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be
included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words or phrases "will likely
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate",
"project or projected", or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements". Such statements are qualified in their entirety by
reference to and are accompanied by the above discussion of certain important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements.
Management
is currently unaware of any trends or conditions other than those mentioned
elsewhere in this management's discussion and analysis that could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, future
results of operations, or liquidity. However, investors should also be aware of
factors that could have a negative impact on the Company's prospects and the
consistency of progress in the areas of revenue generation, liquidity, and
generation of capital resources. These include: (i) variations in revenue, (ii)
possible inability to attract investors for its equity securities or otherwise
raise adequate funds from any source should the Company seek to do so, (iii)
increased governmental regulation, (iv) increased competition, (v) unfavorable
outcomes to litigation involving the Company or to which the Company may become
a party in the future and, (vi) a very competitive and rapidly changing
operating environment. The risks identified here are not all inclusive. New risk
factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to
predict all of such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk
factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor or
combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking
statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual
results.
The
financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Kodiak Energy, Inc.
included elsewhere herein.
Plan of
Operation
During
2008, the Company has been active with substantial development on our Lucy, B.C.
and Little Chicago projects in Canada and our New Mexico project in the U.S. In
addition, the Company has initiated its CREEnergy Alberta Lands project in
Canada through its new subsidiary, Cougar Energy, Inc. (See Note 21). During the
next twelve months, the Company plans to continue the development of its asset
base as well as identify additional assets for addition to our overall land
base.
All
projects to date have been managed on schedule and within budget as the Company
proves to be an effective operator in each jurisdiction in which it operates. In
late 2007, a $17.4 million private placement financing was completed under
difficult market conditions and in December 2007, the Company’s common shares
were listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange in Canada on an aggressive timeline.
In June, 2008, the Company completed an additional $3,010,000 private placement
financing. The Company expects to finance its future capital expenditure
programs with either debt or equity financings and divestitures or a combination
thereof. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has no secured debt. Current 2009
financing activities are described in Note 21 in the consolidated financial
statements. A description of the Company’s recent and planned activities for its
properties is included under BUSINESS in PART I ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS.
The
Corporation is a petroleum and natural gas exploration and development company
whose primary objective is to identify, acquire and develop working interests in
underdeveloped petroleum and natural gas prospects. We are focused on prospects
located in Canada and the United States. The prospects we hold are generally
under leases and include partial and full working interests. In some instances,
Kodiak is the operator and in others it is obligated to perform certain seismic
and exploratory well drilling for its interests. In some instances, additional
seismic and drilling activity will result in additional working interests or is
required to maintain the current percentage interests. The prospects are subject
to varying royalties due to the state, province or federal governments and, in
some instances, to the other royalty owners in the prospect.
The
Corporation plans to engage in seismic data collection and well drilling
programs on a number of prospects in which it has an interest or right to
acquire percentage interests over the next two years. Drilling programs will be
conducted where the seismic data supports the effort and expense and further
drilling will be based on the results of initially drilled wells. A number of
the prospects are located in the vicinity of petroleum and natural gas
infrastructure, most importantly the ability to tie-in to existing or planned
pipelines. This will be important in lowering the overall cost of development
and selling any natural resources located in a prospect.
The
Corporation currently has no petroleum or natural gas reserves or
production.

Financial
Condition and Changes in Financial Condition
The
Corporation’s total assets have decreased to $37,171,397 as at December 31, 2008
from $38,190,768 at the end of 2007 but have significantly increased from
$2,707,075 at the end of 2006. This 2008 decrease is the net difference between
the reduction in the value of the Company’s Canadian assets due to a decline in
the value of the Canadian dollar of approximately 20% (approximately $ 5
million) from the end of 2007 to December 31, 2008 and its 2008 capital
expenditures as well as write-downs of its unproved properties of approximately
$780,000. Had this currency revaluation loss not occurred, total assets would
have increased by approximately $4 million resulting from increased capital
expenditure programs under taken by the Corporation, as well as the acquisition
described under “Property Acquisition” and the financings described under
“Liquidity and Capital Resources”. Total assets consist of cash and other
current assets of $245,562 (December 31, 2007 - $10,288,410); oil and gas
properties and equipment of $36,634,932 (December 31, 2007 - $27,543,005); and
other assets of $290,903 (December 31, 2007 - $359,353). Our total current
liabilities were $1,140,273 (December 31, 2007 - $3,281,390) and consisted of
accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to capital activities and
general and administrative costs incurred. December 31, 2007 current liabilities
included $978,835 relating to flow-through share premium liability arising from
flow-through shares issued in 2007. Such liability was discharged in 2008 when
related flow-through eligible expenditures were incurred. We had long term
liabilities of $39,262 (December 31, 2007 - $110,955) and asset retirement
obligations of $199,574 (December 31, 2007 - $151,814). Shareholders’ equity
amounted to $35,792,288 (December 31, 2007 - $34,646,609), net of an accumulated
deficit of $8,710,088 (2007 - $6,635,439) and comprehensive loss of $4,903,762
(December 31, 2007 - $342,201).
Overall
Operating Results (All dollar values are expressed in United States dollars
unless otherwise stated):
In 2008,
the Company had income during the evaluation period of $1,065 (2007 - $225; 2006
- $27,134) and operating costs of $9,645 (2007 - $20,543; 2006 - $ 13,572)
relating to production from its Granlea, Alberta project. The well watered out
and was deemed uneconomic. Other than that production, the Company remains in
the exploratory and development stage.
Net Loss
for the year ended December 31, 2008 totalled $2,074,649 (2007 - $2,571,663;
2006 - $2,867,374) These losses include general and administrative expenses of
$2,206,015 (2007 - $2,470,230; 2006 - $1,377,489) which includes stock-based
compensation expense amounting to $674,226 (2007 - $643,934; 2006 - $69,169);
interest expense of $1,417 (2007 - $94,083; 2006 - $Nil); depletion depreciation
and accretion including ceiling test impairment write-downs of $ 923,097 (2007 -
$218,841; 2006 - $1,507,021) and deferred income tax recoveries of $978,835 -
(2007 – $147,000; 2006 - $Nil.
General
and administrative expenses include the cost of consulting personnel and
others who provided investor relations services, public company costs for SEC
reporting compliance, accounting, audit and legal fees and other general and
administrative office expenses. General and administrative expense also includes
stock-based compensation relating to the cost of stock options granted to
directors, officers and other personnel of $674,226 in 2007 (2007 - $643,934;
2006 - $69,169). General and administrative costs have been increasing as the
scope of the company’s activities have increased and we believe substantial
amounts will continue to be spent on such costs in the near term as we progress
with the evaluation of our oil and gas prospects. A significant
increase in our shareholder base from 1,000 to approximately 7,000 shareholders
during the past two years has also contributed to our increased general and
administrative costs.
Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1,417 (2007 - $94,083; 2006 -
$ Nil). Most of the 2007 interest expense was incurred relative to the 9-1/2%
Notes Payable that were outstanding during the second and third
quarters.
Depletion,
depreciation and accretion including ceiling test impairment write-downs
includes the cost of depletion and depreciation relating to production from
producing properties in 2006, ceiling test impairment write-downs and the cost
of depreciation relating to office furniture and equipment. At December 31, 2008
and 2007, the carrying values of the Company’s unproved properties in its
Canadian and United States cost centers were assessed by management. Costs
attributable to certain Canadian cost center properties were determined to be
unsupportable and as a result, ceiling test write-downs of $370,980 for 2008
(2007 - $174,380; 2006 - $1,419,946) relating to the Company’s Canadian cost
center were recorded and included in this expense. Costs attributable to certain
United States cost center properties were determined to be unsupportable and as
a result, ceiling test write-downs of $498,867 for 2008 (2007 and 2006 - $ nil)
relating to the Company’s United States cost center were recorded and included
in this expense. The remaining capitalized costs relating to Canadian and United
States unproven properties have been excluded from the depletable cost pools for
ceiling test purposes.
Deferred
income tax recoveries result from deferred tax credits related to Canadian
flow-through eligible expenditures incurred in 2007 and 2008 with funds received
as premiums on Canadian flow-through shares issued.

2007 land
acquisition and carrying costs includes $11,163,205 relative to the acquisition
of Thunder’s interest in the EL 413 Little Chicago property in the Northwest
Territories of Canada and $7,400,000 relative to the acquisition of Thunder’s
New Mexico interests. See “Property Acquisition”. Geological and geophysical
costs include the 2007-08 and 2006-07 portions of the cost of the seismic
programs carried out in those years on the EL 413 Little Chicago
project.
On
September 28, 2007 the Corporation purchased from Thunder and CIMA under the
terms of the Thunder Agreement, 100% of Thunder’s interest in EL 413 and 100% of
CIMA’s interest in the Sophia Prospect in consideration for $1 million cash and
7 million Kodiak Shares valued at $14,000,000 ($2.00 per Kodiak Share) and a
commitment to issue in the future an additional 11,000,000 Kodiak Shares upon
the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the acquired
properties. For accounting purposes, the 7 million common shares issued to
Thunder were recorded at a value of $17,500,000 or $2.50 per common share, being
the same price per share at which the September 28, 2007 private placement
financing of 2,756,000 non-flow-through common shares were issued. (See Notes 2
and 12). Of the cash consideration, $100,000 was paid as a deposit on July 11,
2007, and the balance of $900,000 was paid at closing on September 28, 2007. Of
the common share consideration, 7 million shares were issued to Thunder at
closing on September 28, 2007. An additional 6 million shares were committed to
be issued to Thunder if, as, and when certain performance milestones are
achieved, including 2 million shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic
program by June 30, 2008, which shares were issued during the year (See Note 12
to the consolidated financial statements); 1 million shares upon the spudding of
a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares
upon the spudding of a medium depth well (2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry
in 2009; and 1.5 million shares upon conversion of any part of EL 413 to a
Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a result of the Corporation’s exploration
and development activities on the acquired properties, reserves in place exceed
100 million barrels, then, for each excess 10 million barrels in place, 100,000
additional shares could be issued, up to a maximum of 5 million additional
shares.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources:
Since
inception to December 31, 2008, the company’s operations have been financed from
the sale of securities and loans from shareholders. Working capital decreased
from $7,007,020 as at December 31, 2007 to a working capital deficiency of
$894,711 as at December 31, 2008.
During
2008, the Company raised $3,010,000 and in 2007 it raised $33,303,427, each net
of share issue costs, in private placement financing proceeds. These financings
enabled the Company to finance its on-going capital expenditures and general and
administrative expenses. The Corporation currently has no long term debt
obligations. The Company is in the process of raising additional financing in
its Cougar Energy, Inc. subsidiary that will provide financing to carry out its
business plan through 2009. See Subsequent Event Note 21 to the consolidated
financial statements. Such additional financing will be required for the
company’s 2009 planned activities. In the event that additional capital is
raised at some time in the future, existing shareholders will experience
dilution of their interest in the Company, or the Company’s interest in the
subsidiary.
There is
uncertainty that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes
the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not generated positive cash
flow since inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional
working capital for its future planned activities. The financings described
above, if completed, will provide sufficient working capital to fund the
Company’s operations until mid 2009 when additional financing will be required
until sufficient cash flow is being obtained from the Company’s properties that
comprise its near term capital programs. The success of these programs is yet to
be determined. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is
dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing
operations. The Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes
additional equity and debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any
such financings can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial
statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and
liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company is exposed to market risk from changes petroleum and natural gas and
related hydrocarbon prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates.
Petroleum
and Natural gas and Related Hydrocarbon Prices
The
Corporation currently has no petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon
reserves or production so the Corporation therefore has no current exposure
related to the instability of prices of such commodities. However; the prices of
these commodities are unstable and are subject to fluctuation, due to factors
outside of the Corporation’s control, including war, weather, the availability
of alternate fuel and transportation interruption and any material decline in
these commodity prices could have an adverse impact on the economic viability of
the Corporation’s exploration projects.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rates
The
Corporation, operating in both the United States and Canada, faces exposure to
adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change
over time as business practices evolve and could materially impact the
Corporation’s financial results in the future. To the extent revenues and
expenditures denominated in other currencies vary from their U. S. dollar
equivalents, the Corporation is exposed to exchange rate risk. The Corporation
can also be exposed to the extent revenues in one currency do not equal
expenditures in the same currency. The Corporation is not currently using
exchange rate derivatives to manage exchange rate risks.
Interest
Rates
The
Corporation’s interest income and interest expense, in part, is sensitive to the
general level of interest rates in North America. The Corporation is not
currently using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate
risks.
ITEM
8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
OPINION
ON THE AUDIT OVER INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Kodiak
Energy Inc.:
We have
audited Kodiak Energy Inc’s. (Kodiak) internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). Kodiak’s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting (Item 9Ac). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our
audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit includes
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A
material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The
following deficiency which we believe to be a material weakness has been
identified and included in management’s assessment:
|
·
|
Kodiak
did not maintain effective segregation of duties over automated and manual
transactions leading to ineffective monitoring, supervision and reviews.
This material weakness affects all significant
accounts.
|
Specific
areas affected by the deficiency mentioned above are as follows:
|
·
|
The
Company's policies and procedures did not provide for appropriate
segregation of duties of certain employees in the accounting area.
Also, the Company did not restrict access to financially
significant systems and did not monitor access to those systems,
which resulted in conflicting access and/or inappropriate segregation of
duties.
|
|
·
|
The
Company did not maintain effective policies and procedures, or personnel
with sufficient technical expertise, to ensure proper accounting and
disclosure for income taxes. Specifically, the Company's policies and
procedures did not provide for appropriate segregation of duties or
supervisory review of deferred taxes to ensure that they were properly
reflected and disclosed in the Company's financial statements. This
deficiency results in a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial
statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
|
These
material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2008 financial statements, and
this report does not affect our report dated March 26, 2009 on those financial
statements.
In our
opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the
achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Kodiak has not maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,
based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
We have
also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows of Kodiak and our report dated
March 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion modified for going concern
uncertainties.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
OPINION
ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the
Board of Directors and the Stockholders of
Kodiak
Energy, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kodiak Energy, Inc. (The
“Company and subsidiaries”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the
consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluation of the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
As
discussed more fully in Note 2, the consolidated financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been restated to reflect changes
resulting from a correction of the treatment of flow through shares issued
during the year ended December 31, 2007 and a change to the value ascribed to
shares issued by the Company for the acquisition of certain petroleum and
natural gas assets of Thunder River Energy.
As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining sufficient
working capital to fund future operations. Management’s plan in
regard to these matters is also described in Note 1. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

KODIAK
ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO
THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the
Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
Stated in
US dollars
1. ORGANIZATION,
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kodiak
Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “Kodiak”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”
or “our”) as at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the cumulative
period from April 7, 2004 (inception) until December 31, 2008, and are presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America (“U. S. GAAP”).
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on December 15,
1999 under the name “Island Critical Care, Corp.” with authorized common stock
of 50,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On December 30, 2004 the name
was changed to “Kodiak Energy, Inc.” and the authorized common stock was
increased to 100,000,000 shares with the same par value. On January 17, 2005 the
Company affected a reverse split of 100 outstanding shares for one share. These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing post split shares
from inception. The Company was engaged in the development of the manufacture
and distribution of medical instrumentation and it became inactive after the
bankruptcy outlined below. During 2006, the Company increased its authorized
capital to 300,000,000 common shares. During 2008, the Company increased its
authorized capital to include 10,000,000 preferred shares.
The
Company is in the exploration stage and its efforts have been principally
devoted to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development and
the acquisition of oil and gas properties for the purpose of future extraction
of resources.
Bankruptcy
On
February 5, 2003 the Company filed a petition for bankruptcy in the District of
Prince Edward Island, Division No. 01-Prince Edward Island Court No. 1713,
Estate No. 51-104460, titled “Island Critical Care Corp.”. The Company emerged
from bankruptcy pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court Order entered on April 7, 2004
with no remaining assets or liabilities and adopted Fresh Start
Accounting.
The terms
of the bankruptcy settlement included the authorization for the issuance of
150,000 post split restricted common shares in exchange for $25,000, which was
paid into the bankruptcy court by the recipient of the shares.
The
Company emerged from bankruptcy as an exploration stage company.
Going Concern
Uncertainty
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern, which presumes the realization of assets and
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable
future. The Company has not generated positive cash flow since inception and has
incurred operating losses and will need additional working capital for its
future planned activities. The financing described in Note 20 will provide
sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s operations until mid 2009 when
additional financing will be required unless sufficient cash flow is being
obtained from the Company’s properties that comprise its near term capital
programs. The success of these programs is yet to be determined. These
conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
obtaining sufficient working capital to finance ongoing operations. The
Company’s strategy to address this uncertainty, includes additional equity and
debt financing; however, there are no assurances that any such financings can be
obtained on favorable terms, if at all. These financial statements do not
reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities that would
be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.
In March,
2009, we determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements as
at December 31, 2007. The purpose of the restatement is to correct an error in
measurement and an error in the application of US GAAP in the course of
recording the following 2007 transactions:
Issue of common shares of
the Company in consideration for the acquisition of
properties.
On
September 28, 2007, the Company issued to Thunder River Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”)
7,000,000 common shares of the Company as partial consideration for the
acquisition of properties. The shares issued were recorded at a negotiated price
per share of US$2.00 or $14,000,000. In the course of a review by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the Fiscal
Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 and Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended
December 31, 2007, the SEC questioned the measurement date and the $2.00 per
share value at which the transaction was recorded. Following an exchange of
correspondence and discussions between the Company and the SEC during 2008 and
2009 regarding this issue, the Company has determined that the acquisition
should have been recorded at a value per share of $2.50 or $17,500,000, which
represents the fair value of exactly comparable common shares issued at the same
$2.50 price per share as a private placement financing for 2,756,000 common
shares which closed on September 28, 2007, the same date that the Thunder
transaction closed. Management believes that the $2.50 Kodiak share price to be
the most reliable measurement for the fair value of the shares issued and that
September 28, 2008 to be the appropriate measurement date because that was the
date when the parties’ closing conditions were satisfied and Thunder’s (the
counterparty’s) performance was complete. The result of the restatement
adjustment was an increase of $3,500,000 in the recorded acquisition cost and
related issuance of common shares.
Issue of flow-through common
shares of the Company at a premium.
On
September 28, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 30, 2007, the Company issued on
a Canadian flow-through share basis 2,251,670 common shares of the Company at
US$3.00 per share or $6,755,010, which amount represented a premium of $.50 per
share or $1,125,835 when compared to other non-flow through shares issued at the
same time at $2.50 per share. At the time of the transactions, the issues of the
flow through common shares were recorded as appropriate credits to par value of
common shares and additional paid in capital. Following recent discussions with
the Company’s tax consultant, the Company has determined that the $1,125,835
premium on flow-through common shares issued should have, in accordance with US
GAAP, been recorded as a liability at the time the shares were issued rather
than as additional paid in capital. A $147,000 portion of the premium liability
discharged during the period October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, when
flow-through eligible expenditures amounting to $879,922 were incurred by the
Company, was recognized as a reduction of deferred tax expense.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1438821 Alberta Ltd., Kodiak Petroleum ULC, Kodiak
Petroleum (Montana), Inc., and Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc. In British
Columbia, Canada, the Company operates under the assumed name of Kodiak Bear
Energy, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Use of Estimates in the
Preparation of Financial Statements
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these
estimates are based on the knowledge of current events and actions the Company
may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Included in these estimates are assumptions about allowances for valuation of
deferred tax assets. Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their
collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided
where considered necessary. The provision for asset retirement obligation,
depletion, as well as management’s impairment assessment on its oil and gas
properties and other long lived assets are based on estimates and by their
nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on
the financial statements of changes in these estimates, in future periods, could
be significant. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and,
as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in
which they become known. The current economic environment has increased the
degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.
Joint Venture
Operations
In
instances where the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with
others, the Company’s accounts reflect only its proportionate interest in such
activities.
Cash and Short-term
Deposits
Cash
consists of balances with financial institutions and investments in money market
instruments, which have terms to maturity of three months or less at time of
purchase.
Oil and Gas
Properties
Under the
full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations all costs associated
with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized
on a country-by-country basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs,
geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing
properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells,
production equipment and overhead charges directly related to acquisition,
exploration and development activities. Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas
properties are applied against capitalized costs with no gain or loss
recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion
and depreciation in a particular country, in which case a gain or loss on
disposal is recorded.
Capitalized
costs within each country are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production
method based on the estimated gross proved reserves as determined by independent
petroleum engineers. Oil and gas reserves and production are converted into
equivalent units on the basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel
of oil. Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs,
including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to
be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage
value.
An
impairment loss is recognized in net earnings if the carrying amount of a cost
center exceeds the “cost center ceiling”. The carrying amount of the cost center
includes the capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of
accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes and the cost center ceiling is
the present value of the estimated future net cash flows, using yearend
unescalated prices, from proved oil and natural gas reserves discounted at ten
percent (net of related tax effects) plus the lower of cost or fair value of
unproved properties included in the costs being amortized (and/or the costs of
unproved properties that have been subject to a separate impairment test and
contain no probable reserves).
Costs of
acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are
initially excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation until it is
determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties.
Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to
depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project
over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated. These costs are
assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of assets is provided by use of
a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.
Asset Retirement
Obligations
The
Company recognizes a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in
which they are incurred and in which a reasonable estimate of such costs can be
made. Asset retirement obligations include those legal obligations where the
Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets such as producing
well sites. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value and
recorded as a liability and capitalized as part of the cost of the related
long-lived asset as an asset retirement cost. The asset retirement obligation
accretes until the time the asset retirement obligation is expected to settle
while the asset retirement costs included in oil and gas properties are
amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Amortization
of asset retirement costs and accretion of the asset retirement obligation are
included in depletion, depreciation and accretion. Actual asset retirement costs
are recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the
recorded asset retirement obligations and the actual retirement costs incurred
is recorded in depletion, depreciation and accretion.
Environmental
Oil and
gas activities are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing,
regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the
Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or
release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
Environmental
expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic
benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past
operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities
for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental
assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated. To date, the Company has not recognized any environmental obligations
as production has been insignificant and we have not actively produced since
October, 2006.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are determined using assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment
date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred
tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Per FASB
Interpretation (FIN 48) under the liability method, it is the Company’s policy
to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties
based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than
not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At December 31, 2008,
the Company believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax
benefits. To the extent the Company prevails in matters for which a liability
for an unrecognized benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in
excess of the liability, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial
statement period may be affected. Interest and penalties associated with the
Company’s tax positions are recorded as Interest Expense.
Flow-through
Shares
The
Company finances a portion of its canadian exploration programs with
flow-through common shares issued pursuant to certain provisions of the Income
Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”). Under the Act, where the proceeds are used for
eligible expenditures, the related income tax deductions may be renounced to
subscribers. Accordingly, the tax credits associated with the renunciation of
such expenditures are recorded as an increase to deferred income tax
liabilities. Any premium received from subscribers on the sale of such
flow-through common shares is recorded initially as a current liability and then
discharged and recognized as a reduction of deferred income taxes when the
flow-through eligible expenditures relating to the flow-through premium are
incurred by the Company.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company records compensation expense for share based payments using the fair
value method pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (“FASB”)
No. 123R. The fair value of share-based compensation to employees will be
determined using an option pricing model at the time of grant. Fair value for
common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees are
measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received. Stock-based
compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense with a
corresponding increase to Additional Paid in Capital. Upon the exercise of the
stock options, consideration paid together with the previously recognized
Additional Paid in Capital is recorded as an increase in share
capital.
Foreign Currency
Translation
The
functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the Canadian dollar.
The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is
performed for asset and liability accounts using current exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date, while income, expenses and cash flows are
translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting
translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss.
Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in
other income/expenses.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when title passes from
the Company to its petroleum and/or natural gas purchaser and collectability is
reasonably assured. The Company will begin recording revenue once it is
determined there are proved reserves resulting in production.
Loss Per Common
Share
Basic
loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common
share is computed after giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares
that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares
consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and
warrants, contingent stock, conversion of debentures and preferred stock
outstanding. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is not considered in
the EPS calculations for these periods if the impact would have been
anti-dilutive.
4. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB
Interpretation (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income taxes – an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). In July 2006, the FASB issued
FIN 48, which provides guidance on accounting for income tax positions about
which the Company has concluded there is a level of uncertainty with respect to
the recognition of a tax benefit in the Company’s financial statements. FIN 48
describes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet.
Tax positions are defined very broadly and include not only tax deductions and
credits but also decisions not to file in a particular jurisdiction, as well as
the taxability of certain transactions.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.
48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits
to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained
upon examination by taxing authorities. There was not a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result
of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48. At December 31, 2008, the Company
had no significant unrecognized tax positions and the Company does not believe
there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the
next twelve months.
The
Company’s tax positions are subject to examination by tax authorities. As at
December 31, 2008, the Company’s tax year 2008 is open for United States –
Federal and State jurisdictions and Canada – Federal and Provincial
jurisdictions.
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(SFAS No. 157). In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No 157 does not require
any new fair value measurements. However, in some cases, the application of SFAS
No. 157 may change the Company’s current practice for measuring and disclosing
fair values under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements. For the Company, SFAS No. 157 will be effective as of
January 1, 2008 and must be applied prospectively except in certain cases. The
Company has determined there was no significant impact on its consolidated
results of operations, cash flows or financial position on adopting SFAS
157.
SFAS No.
159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”
(SFAS No. 159). In February 2007, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 159, which permits
entities to choose to measure many new financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. For the Company, SFAS No. 159 will be effective as of
January 1, 2008 and will have no impact on amounts presented for periods prior
to the effective date. The Company has chosen not to measure items subject to
SFAS No. 159 at fair value.
The
following new accounting standards have been issued, but have not yet been
adopted by the Company:
In
November, 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combination”. FAS 141(R)
will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact
financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS
141(R) is effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. FAS 141(R) will be applied
prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined
this pronouncement’s potential impact.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51”
(SFAS 160). This
statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority
interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from
the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the
noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face
of the income statement. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest that
result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary will result in the recognition of a
gain or loss in net income when the subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160
also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the
parent and its noncontrolling interests. The statement is effective for
fiscals years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. This statement will not have a material
effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2008, the EITF reached a consensus for exposure on Issue
No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations”. This
issue addresses the accounting for equity method investments as a result of the
accounting changes prescribed by SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160. The issue
includes clarification on the following: (a) transaction costs should be
included in the initial carrying value of the equity method investment,
(b) an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible
asset of an equity method investment need only be performed as part of any
other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of the equity method investment as a
whole and does not need to be performed annually, (c) the equity method
investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for as the sale of a
proportionate share of the investment, which may result in a gain or loss in
income, and (d) a gain or loss should not be recognized when changing the
method of accounting for an investment from the equity method to the cost
method. This issue will be effective for fiscal years beginning on
January 1, 2009. The impact of this issue will not have a material
effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162 (“SFAS No. 162”), “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of account
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in
the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,
“The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.” Adoption of SFAS 162 will not be a change in the Company’s current
accounting practices; therefore, it will not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.
On
December 31, 2008, the SEC adopted a final rule that amends its oil and gas
reporting requirements. The revised rules change the way oil and gas companies
report their reserves in the financial statements. The rules are intended to
reflect changes in the oil and gas industry since the original disclosures were
adopted in 1978. Definitions were updated to be consistent with Petroleum
Resource Management System (PRMS). Other key revisions include a change in
pricing used to prepare reserve estimates, the inclusion of non-traditional
resources in reserves,
the allowance for use of new
technologies in determining reserves, optional disclosure of probable and
possible reserves and significant new disclosures. The revised rules will be
effective for our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2009. The SEC is precluding application of the new rules in
quarterly reports prior to the first annual report in which the revised
disclosures are required and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently
evaluating the effect the new rules will have on our financial reporting and
anticipate that the following rule changes could have a significant impact on
our results of operations as follows:
|
•
|
|
The
price used in calculating reserves will change from a single-day closing
price measured on the last day of the company’s fiscal year to a 12-month
average price, and will affect our depletion and ceiling test
calculations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Several
reserve definitions have changed that could revise the types of reserves
that will be included in our year-end reserve report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Many
of our financial reporting disclosures could change as a result of the new
rules.

Drilling
programs are being planned for 2009 for our Alberta and British Columbia
properties in Canada. It is estimated by management that the unproved property
costs associated with these properties, which in the aggregate constitute
approximately $3,000,000 of our total unproved property costs as at December 31,
2008, will be included in our costs subject to depletion when production
commences.
Ceiling
Test
The
Company has performed ceiling tests for its Canadian and United States
geographical cost centers. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying values
of the Company’s unproved properties in its Canadian and United States cost
centers were assessed by management. Costs attributable to certain Canadian cost
center properties were determined to be unsupportable and consequently, ceiling
test impairment write-downs of $284,391 (2007 - $174,380) were recorded and
included in depletion, depreciation and accretion. In addition, costs
attributable to certain United States cost center properties were determined to
be unsupportable and ceiling test impairment write-downs of $498,867 (2007 - $
nil) were recorded and included in depletion, depreciation and accretion. It was
determined that no impairment existed in its United States cost center as at
December 31, 2007.
Property
Acquisition
On September 28, 2007 the Company
purchased from Thunder Energy, Inc. (“Thunder”)and CIMA Holdings, Inc.(“CIMA”),
a subsidiary of Thunder, 100% of Thunder’s interest in its EL 413 Exploration
License in the Northwest Territories and 100% of CIMA’s interest in their New
Mexico properties in consideration for $1 million cash and 7 million common
shares of the Company valued at $14,000,000 ($2.00 per common share) and a
commitment to issue in the future an additional 11,000,000 common shares of the
Company upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the
acquired properties. All acquired properties are unproved. Of this committed
amount, 2 million shares were issued during the year (Note 12). For accounting
purposes, the 7 million common shares issued to Thunder were recorded at a value
of $17,500,000 or $2.50 per common share, being the same price per share at
which the September 28, 2007 private placement financing of 2,756,000
non-flow-through common shares were issued (Note 13(s))
.
Of the
cash consideration, $100,000 was paid as a deposit on July 11, 2007, and the
balance of $900,000 was paid at closing on September 28, 2007. Of the common
shares consideration, 7 million shares were issued to Thunder at closing on
September 28, 2007. An additional 6 million shares will be issued to Thunder if,
as, and when certain performance milestones are achieved, including 2 million
shares upon completion of a 2007/08 seismic program by June 30, 2008 (Note 12);
1 million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by
March 31, 2009; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well
(2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry in 2009 and 1.5 million shares upon
conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a
result of the Company’s exploration and development activities on the acquired
properties, reserves in place exceed 100 million barrels, then, for each excess
10 million barrels in place, 100,000 additional shares could be issued, up to a
maximum of 5 million additional shares.
9. NOTE
PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
On
November 24, 2008, the Company borrowed $32,841 (Cdn. $40,000) from Sicamous Oil
& Gas Consultants Ltd., a company controlled by William S. Tighe, CEO,
President and COO of the Company, under the terms of a demand promissory note
bearing interest at the Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus 1% per annum. On
January 27, 2009, an amount of $15,981 (Cdn. $20,000) was repaid.

At
December 31, 2008, the estimated total undiscounted amount required to settle
the asset retirement obligations was $ 302,273 (2007 - $213,880). These
obligations will be settled at the end of the useful lives of the underlying
assets, which currently extends up to 8 years into the future. This amount has
been discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free interest rate of 7.5% and a
rate of inflation of 2.5%.
12.
INCOME TAXES
As at
December 31, 2008, the Company's deferred tax asset is attributable to its net
operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,802,000 (2007 - $2,000,000;
2006 - $647,000), which will expire if not utilized in the years 2024, 2025,
2026, 2027 and 2028. As reflected below, this benefit has been fully offset by a
valuation allowance based on management's determination that it is not more
likely than not that some or all of this benefit will be realized.
For the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and for the period from date of
inception, April 7, 2004 to December 31, 2008, a reconciliation of income tax
benefit at the U.S. federal statutory rate to income tax benefit at the
Company's effective tax rates is as follows.

The
weighted average number of shares outstanding for 2006 has been adjusted
retroactively for the two 2:1 stock splits that occurred in that
year.
Of the
contingent shares related to the property acquisition described in note 8, only
2.5 million shares of the 9 million total contingent shares are assumed to be
issued for purposes of the 2007 diluted loss per share calculation. The 7.5
million shares relating to the significant discovery and production milestones
have been excluded because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

Commitments
On
September 28, 2007 the Company purchased from Thunder certain unproved
properties in Canada (Exploration License 413 – “EL 413”)and the United States

out more fully in Note 7. Under the terms of the purchase agreement and an
amendment dated October 22, 2008 to the purchase agreement, the Company is
committed to issue in the future up to 9 million additional common shares of the
Company upon the achievement of certain milestones in connection with the
acquired properties, including 4 million shares to be issued as follows: 1
million shares upon the spudding of a shallow depth well (1,500 meters TD) by
June 30, 2010; 1.5 million shares upon the spudding of a medium depth well
(2,500 meters TD) before lease expiry in 2009 and 1.5 million shares upon
conversion of any part of EL 413 to a Significant Discovery Lease. If, as a
result of the Company’s exploration and development activities on the acquired
properties, reserves in place exceed 100 million barrels, then, for each excess
10 million barrels in place, 100,000 additional shares could be issued, up to a
maximum of 5 million additional shares. The purchase agreement also included a

interest, credit or currency risks arising from these financial instruments

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Cougar Energy,
Inc.
In
November, 2008, the Company incorporated, under the laws of the Province of
Alberta, a new wholly-owned subsidiary, 1438821 Alberta Ltd. In February, 2009,
1438821 Alberta Ltd. changed its name to Cougar Energy, Inc. (“Cougar”). In
January, 2009, the Company vended its interests in its
CREEnergy Alberta Lands and its Lucy, B.C. property into Cougar (the
“Cougar Properties”) for common shares of Cougar. At the same time, Cougar
initiated private placement financing activities to raise funds to carry out
planned work programs on the Cougar Properties. As of March 23, 2009, Cougar has
raised approximately $500,000. As a result of these Cougar financings, the
Company’s interest in Cougar has been reduced to approximately 94%.
ITEM 9.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
They concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not adequate and effective in ensuring
that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report was being prepared.
Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management
necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)).
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. A material
weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified
the following material weaknesses during its assessment of our internal control
over financial reporting as at December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007.
Segregation
of Duties and Access to Critical Accounting Systems
As at
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, management believes the Company’s
Internal Control over Financial Reporting did not meet the definition of
adequate control, based on criteria established by Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Management identified a material weakness relating the
segregation of duties among certain personnel who had incompatible
responsibilities within all significant processes affecting financial reporting.
We also had a material weakness resulting from our failure to implement controls
to restrict access to financially significant systems or to monitor access to
those systems, which resulted in conflicting access and/or inappropriate
segregation of duties. These material weaknesses affect all significant
accounts. In addition, the 2007 restatement issues discussed below demonstrated
a need to engage additional personnel or outside consulting assistance to ensure
the proper accounting for non-routine accounting transactions and adherence to
US GAAP, to assist in income tax planning and compliance and a review of our
Canadian and U. S. income tax provisions. As a result of these material
weaknesses, management has concluded that internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as at December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007.
2007
Restatement
During
the process of preparing this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year
Ended December 31, 2008, it was determined that it may be necessary to restate
our consolidated financial statements for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30,
2007 and the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007. The restatements would be
required to correct for an error in measurement and an error in the application
of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) in recording two
September, 2007 transactions as described in Note 2 to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
After
discussing these matters with other management, the CFO recommended to the Audit
Committee that previously reported financial results be restated to reflect
correction of these errors. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation.
Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors
determined at its meeting on March 13, 2009, that previously reported results
for the Company be restated. On March 27, 2009, amended consolidated financial
statements for the above noted periods were filed.
These
errors resulted from the Company not seeking appropriate external advice
regarding the recording of certain transactions that were complex and not
subject to routine accounting principles. One error was in measuring the
appropriate date at which common shares of the Company were issued in
consideration for the acquisition of unproved oil and gas properties, an arm’s
length transaction that was negotiated over a period of several months during
2007 but not finally closed until September 28, 2007, at which date the common
shares were issued. The second error was in the application of US GAAP in the
accounting for the complexities involved relating to premium proceeds received
on the issue of Canadian flow-through shares, a Canadian income tax concept not
in practice in the United States. These errors demonstrated a material weakness
relating to the segregation of duties among financial and accounting personnel
and a need to engage additional personnel or seek outside advice where
appropriate to strengthen internal controls over financial
reporting.
Our
management has discussed the material weaknesses described above and other
deficiencies with our Audit Committee and we have documented this assessment and
made this assessment available to our independent registered Chartered
Accountants. We recognize that all internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
Our
management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, has been audited by Meyers Norris
Penny LLP, independent registered Chartered Accountants, as stated in their
report which is on page 21 of this Form 10-K. Meyers Norris Penny LLP also
audited our Financial Statements as stated in their report which is on
page 23 of this Form 10-K.
Remediation
of Material Weakness in Internal Control
During
December, 2006 and the first half of 2007, the company hired a Controller, a new
CFO and a Vice-President Operations and additional qualified personnel. The new
staff and existing management have implemented new procedures and controls for
many areas of the Company’s activities. During 2007, the Company initiated a
review of its corporate policies and procedures with the assistance of an
outside consulting firm, with a goal of having the Company become fully SOX
compliant by year end 2007. Additional policies and procedures have been
implemented and others strengthened. Testing of such policies and procedures was
completed in late 2007 and early 2008. In addition, the Company will endeavor to
engage outside consulting assistance to ensure the proper accounting for
non-routine accounting transactions and adherence to US GAAP. Beginning in 2008,
the Company engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in income tax planning
and compliance and beginning with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, to
review our Canadian and U.S. income tax provisions.
As at
December 31, 2008, the Company continues to have a material weakness relating to
the segregation of duties among certain personnel and as of that date,
management believes that without engaging additional personnel, estimated to
cost a minimum of approximately $150,000 per annum, we cannot remedy such
material weakness. Management believes such expenditures cannot be justified at
this time when the Company is still in the exploratory stage of operations and
has no proved reserves, production or cash flow. When sufficient cash flow is
being generated, management will review its position. Management believes its
controls and procedures related to its financial and corporate information
systems are appropriate for a company of its size and mandate and due to its
internal expertise, it is not dependent upon the inherent risks in external
third party management of such systems.

believes these improvements in our overall internal control, when combined with
the remediation discussed above, will strengthen the Company’s internal controls
over financial reporting.

COMPLIANCE
WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive
officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and
reports of changes in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock with the
Commission. Such persons are required by Commission regulations to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the
Company during the year ended December 31, 2008, and upon a review of Forms 5
and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to the year ended
December 31, 2008, or upon written representations received by the Company from
certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those
persons.
AUDIT
COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT
During
the year end December 31, 2008, the audit committee met five times. The audit
committee’s role is financial oversight. Our management is responsible for the
preparation of our financial statements and our independent registered public
accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The
audit committee is not providing any special assurance as to our financial
statements or any professional certification as to the registered independent
accounting firm’s work
The audit
committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention
and oversight of Kodiak’s independent registered accounting firm. The committee,
among other things, also reviews and discusses Kodiak’s audited financial
statements with management.
Our audit
committee is comprised of three directors: Peter Schriber and Gordon Taylor, who
are independent and Glenn Watt. Our board has determined Peter Schriber, our
Audit Committee Chairman, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”
within the definition established by the SEC and he is an independent
director.
CODE OF
ETHICS
A code of
ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter
wrongdoing and to promote:
1) Honest
and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent
conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships.
2) Full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents
that are filed with, or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission and
in other public communications made by the Company.
3) Compliance
with applicable government laws, rules and regulations
4) The
prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or
persons identified in the code; and
5) Accountability
for adherence to the code.
In
October, 2007, the Company adopted a formal code of business conduct. The board
of directors evaluated the business of the Company and its personnel and has
determined that its business operations are operated by a growing number of
persons, some of who are also officers, directors and employees of the Company
and others who are independent contractors. Although general rules of fiduciary
duty and federal, state and provincial criminal, business conduct and securities
laws are adequate ethical guidelines, a formal written code of business conduct
would provide additional ethical standards of conduct to which the Company’s
personnel should comply.

COMPENSATION
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview of Compensation
Program and Philosophy
The
Company has three executive officers, two of whom are the Company’s directors.
The Board of Directors serves as the Company’s compensation committee,
initiates and approves most compensation decisions. Annual bonuses for
executives are determined by the Board of Directors.
The goal
of the compensation program is to adequately reward the efforts and achievements
of executive officers for the management of the Company. The Company has
no pension plan and no deferred compensation arrangements. The Company has not
used a compensation consultant in any capacity.
We have a
formal employment contract with Mr. William Tighe and formal consulting
contracts with Mr. Glenn Watt and Mr. William Brimacombe or their consulting
companies. During 2008, Mr. William Tighe was paid Cdn $10,000 per month. During
2008, Harbour Oilfield Consulting Ltd., a company owned by Mr. Watt, was paid
$Cdn $10,000 per month. During 2008, Mr. William Brimacombe was paid Cdn. $110
per hour, a monthly vehicle allowance of Cdn. $800 and a bonus of Cdn. $15,000.
No options were granted to executive officers during 2008.
Compensation of
Directors
Directors
of the corporation are not paid any cash compensation. We reimburse each of our
directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that they incur in connection
with attending board or committee meetings.
On
January 4, 2006, the Company adopted a stock-based compensation plan, under
which each director of Kodiak would receive 120,000 options upon becoming a
director and an additional 80,000 options in the second year and 200,000 options
in the third year for each year or part of a year served as a director. On July
19, 2006 the stock option plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company.
On October 23, 2006, options granted to directors were adjusted to 200,000
shares per director. The exercise price of such options is the market price per
share on the date of grant.
No stock
options were granted to any directors during 2008. No named directors or
executive officers exercised any stock options during fiscal 2008, 2007 or
2006.
