KODIAK
ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO
THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the cumulative period from
April 7, 2004 (inception)until March 31, 2009, 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. In December, 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.
The
information in these consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with December 31, 2008 consolidated financial
statements.
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 from operations since
inception and has incurred operating losses and will need additional working
capital for completion of its planned 2009 and future activities. These
conditions raise substantial 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
management of the Company has developed a strategy to address this uncertainty,
including additional equity and/or debt financing; however, there are no
assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at
all. These consolidated 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.
2.
RESTATEMENT
In March,
2009, we determined that it was necessary to restate our financial statements as
at December 31, 2007. The purpose of the restatement was 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.

3. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kodiak Petroleum ULC, Kodiak Petroleum (Montana),
Inc., and Kodiak Petroleum (Utah), Inc. and its 93.8% owned subsidiary Cougar
Energy, Inc. (formerly 1438821 Alberta Ltd.). 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 and depreciation, 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 consolidated 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 in these 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 Cash
Equivalents
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.

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 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
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109 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
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", (See Note 3) under the asset
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 March 31, 2009, 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 in the consolidated financial statements for share
based payments using the fair value method pursuant to Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement (FASB) No. 123R "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". The fair value of share-based compensation to employees is
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 balance sheet 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.
Earnings/Loss Per Common
Share
Basic
earnings/loss per common share is computed by dividing net earnings/loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings/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 earnings/loss per share calculations for these periods if
the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
4. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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. For the Company, SFAS No.
160 was effective January 1, 2009. The Company has determined there was no
significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or
financial position on adopting SFAS 160.
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. For the Company, this issue was effective January 1,
2009. The impact of this issue will not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
The
following new accounting standards have been issued, but have not yet been
adopted by the Company:
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.

Work
programs are being planned for 2009 for our British Columbia and Alberta
properties in Canada. Further work programs are being considered for our other
unproved properties but the timing and availability of financing for those
programs is uncertain. It is estimated by management that the unproved property
costs associated with our Canadian properties, which in the aggregate
constitutes $25,043,717 of our total unproved property costs as at March 31,
2009, will be included in costs subject to depletion during 2009 or
2010.
Ceiling
Test
The
Company has performed ceiling tests for its Canadian and United States Unproved
Property geographical cost centers and has determined that no impairment exists
as at March 31, 2009. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying values of
the Company’s unproved properties in its Canadian cost centers were assessed by
management and costs attributable to certain properties were determined to be
unsupportable. Consequently, ceiling test impairment write-downs as of December
31, 2008 of $284,391 (2007 - $174,380) were recorded and included in depletion,
depreciation and accretion for those years. As at December 31, 2008, the
carrying values of the Company’s unproved properties in its United States cost
centers were assessed by management and costs attributable to certain properties
were determined to be unsupportable. Consequently, ceiling test impairment
write-downs as of December 31, 2008 of $498,867 was recorded and included in
depletion, depreciation and accretion. No impairment existed in the United
States cost center as at December 31, 2007.
8. NOTE
PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
On
November 24, 2008 the Company borrowed Cdn. $40,000 from Sicamous Oil & Gas
Consultants Ltd., a company controlled by William S. Tighe,
CEO, President and COO of the Company, under a terms of a demand note
bearing interest at the Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus 1% per annum. In
January, 2009, a Cdn. $20,000 repayment was made and in March, 2009 a further
Cdn, $3,000 advance was received leaving a balance owing as at March 31, 2009 of
Cdn $23,000 or U.S. $18,235.
9.
LONG TERM LIABILITIES
As at
March 31, 2009, the Company held $ 37,915 (December 31, 2008 - $39,262) in funds
advanced by partners for their share of a drilling deposit required to be lodged
by the Company with the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (See Note 5) as
security for future well abandonment and site restoration
activities.

At March
31, 2009, the estimated total undiscounted amount required to settle the asset
retirement obligations was $ 294,126 (December 31, 2008 - $302,273). 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%.
11. INCOME
TAXES
At March
31, 2009, the Company's deferred tax asset is attributable to its net operating
loss carry forward of approximately $2,987,000 (December 31, 2008 - $2,802,000),
which will expire if not utilized in the years 2024 to 2029. 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
periods ended March 31, 2009, March 31, 2008 and for the cumulative period April
7, 2004 (Date of Inception) to March 31, 2009, 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.

14. STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
In
accordance with FASB No. 123R, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing
method to determine the fair value of each stock option granted and the amount
is recognized as additional expense in the statement of operations over the
vesting period of the option. The fair value of each option granted has been
estimated using the following average assumptions:
|
2009
|
2008
|

|

No
options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The fair
value of options granted in 2008 totaled $60,600. The amount of stock-based
compensation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009 is
estimated to be $152,047 (December 31, 2008 – $674,226). The unvested value of
options expiring during the period was $ nil (December 31, 2008 - $349,127)
leaving a balance of the fair value of the options to be expensed in future
periods of $422,156 (December 31, 2008 - $574,203) over a vesting period of
three years.

2.5 million shares of the 11 million total contingent shares are assumed to be

shares relating to the significant discovery and production milestones have been
excluded because the effect of their inclusion would be

ITEM 2.
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 previously
mentioned 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 management’s discussion and analysis contained in our 2008
Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Plan of
Operation
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company has focused its efforts on
financing opportunities and furthering its plans regarding its Lucy, B.C. and
Cree Energy rights in Alberta. After financing is in place, which is expected to
be during the second quarter of 2009, the Company plans to accelerate the
aggressive development of its asset base even further as well as identify
additional assets for addition to our overall land base.
The
Company expects to finance its future capital expenditure programs with
combinations of debt, farmouts, equity financings and some divestitures. The
Company has no secured debt at this time. A description of the company’s recent
and planned activities for its core properties is included below.
Kodiak
Energy, Inc. is a petroleum and natural gas exploration and development company
whose primary objective is to identify, acquire and develop working interests in
undeveloped or 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 all of our core properties, Kodiak is the operator and majority interest
owner. In two properties, we have the option to perform certain exploratory
drilling to earn additional interests. The prospects are subject to varying
royalties due to the state, province or federal governments and, in some
instances, to other royalty owners in the prospect. None of our core properties
are exposed to the recent Alberta Royalty Review changes.
The
Company 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 the initial wells. A number of our prospects are located in
the vicinity of petroleum and natural gas infrastructure, thereby providing the
opportunity to tie-in to existing or planned pipelines. This will be important
in lowering the overall cost of development and marketing any natural resources
located in a prospect.
The
Company currently has no petroleum or natural gas reserves or production. The
company will begin recording revenue when production from proved reserves
commences.
Core
Properties
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.
|
In April,
2009, Kodiak, through its private subsidiary, Cougar, entered into a standard
farmout and participation agreement with one of its partners. The partner will
provide 90% of the funding for the first phase of the “Lucy” Horn River work
program. Upon completion of the funding, the partner will have earned an
additional 30% working interest in the wells and property. Cougar will maintain
operator status and majority ownership of the project with the management of
Kodiak/Cougar overseeing the execution of the work program. Upon fulfillment of
the funding provisions of the farmout and participation agreement, Cougar’s
working interest in the “Lucy” Horn River Basin project will be 50% with the
other two partners holding 40% and 10%.
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 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 Licen
s
e 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 f
rom 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 b
een 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 m
ulti-well shallow drilling program with
a plan
ned 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 Ro
ck”
) is t
he 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 o
f 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 th
e 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
drillin
g
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
m
eters (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
per
mits 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 licen
s
e. 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. Fina
n
cing 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
In
dian and Northern Affairs
Canada that a 1 year extension is available
.
The licen
s
e 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 facilit
i
es 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 n
o
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
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.
Discussions are currently ongoing with
several firms regarding potential opportunities for the project, including
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,
the Company, in the fourth quarter of 2008, wrote off its drilling costs
relative to this project and consideration is being given to the divestiture of
the property.
Financial
Condition and Changes in Financial Condition
(All
dollar values are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise
stated)
The
Company’s ability to raise funds has been severely impacted by the global
collapse of credit and equity markets. However, the Company is confident that it
will be able to obtain financing that will enable it to regain momentum in
furthering its exploration and development plans for the second half of
2009.
The
Company’s total assets of $36,831,864 as at March 31, 2009 are relatively
unchanged from $36,634,932 as at December 31, 2008 and $38,190,768 as at
December 31, 2007. Total assets consist of cash and other current assets of
$182,515 (December 31, 2008 - $245,562); unproved oil and gas properties and
equipment of $36,368,238 (December 31, 2008 - $36,634,932); and other assets of
$281,111 (December 31, 2008 - $290,903). Our total current liabilities were
$1,283,261 (December 31, 2008 - $1,140,273) and consisted of accounts payable
and accrued liabilities relating to general and administrative costs and some
capital expenditures incurred. We had long term liabilities of $37,915 (December
31, 2008 - $39,262), and asset retirement obligations of $198,935 (December 31,
2008 - $199,574). Shareholders’ equity amounted to $34,922,355 (December 31,
2008 - $35,792,288), net of an accumulated deficit of $9,210,623 (December 31,
2008 - $8,710,088) and other comprehensive loss consisting mainly of foreign
currency translation losses of $5,388,829 (December 31, 2008 - $4,903,762), and
minority interest equity of $389,398 (December 31, 2008 - $ nil) relating to the
6.2% interest held by minority shareholders in Cougar.
Overall
Operating Results
In the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, the Company had no income
and operating costs of $1,170 (2008 - $274) relating to its Granlea, Alberta
property which well watered out in late 2006 and was deemed uneconomic. Except
for that small amount of production, the Company remains in the exploratory and
development stage.
Net Loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totalled $500,535 (2008 - $458,843 as
restated) In addition to the operating results noted above, these losses consist
of general and administrative expenses of $493,462 (2008 - $512,165), including
stock-based compensation expense amounting to $152,047 (2008 - $190,136);
depletion, depreciation and accretion of $ 7,788 (2008 - $11,704) and interest
of $211 (2008 $ nil).
General
and administrative expenses include the cost of employed and 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, employees and other personnel. General and
administrative costs are being minimized during periods of low activity but will
be expected to increase in the future as the scope of the company’s activities
increase.
Depletion,
depreciation and accretion includes the cost of depreciation relating
to office furniture and equipment in the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008. All of the remaining capitalized costs relate to Canadian and United
States unproven properties and have been excluded from depletable cost pools for
ceiling test purposes.
Interest
income of $56,898 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 was derived from the
investment of excess cash balances on a short-term basis. Deferred income tax
recovery of $926,000 in the 2008 period represents a deferred tax credit arising
from the expenditure of funds during the quarter relating to the premium
received on the issue of Canadian flow-through shares in 2007. The Minority
interest credit of $4,062 represents the Cougar minority shareholders’ 6.2%
share of the net loss for the 2009 first quarter during the portion of the
quarter that the minority interests were issued and
outstanding.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources:
Since
inception to March 31, 2009, the company’s operations have been financed from
the sale of securities and loans from shareholders. The working capital
deficiency at March 31, 2009 amounted to $1,100,746 (December 31, 2008 -
$894,711). The Company is currently in the final negotiation stages with
European financing sources that will, when closed, provide sufficient funds to
enable the Company to cover this working capital deficiency and fund additional
2009 activities.
The
Corporation currently has no long term debt obligations.
The
Company is seeking and is confident it will obtain additional financing, either
through debt, equity or a combination thereof to cover the estimated cost of its
planned programs for the balance of 2009 and into 2010. In addition, we may
require funds for additional acquisitions. In the event that additional capital
is raised at some time in the future, existing shareholders will experience
dilution of their interest in the Corporation.
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 from operations since inception and has incurred operating losses and
will need additional working capital for its future planned activities. 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 consolidated 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.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company is exposed to market risk from changes in petroleum and natural gas and
related hydrocarbon prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates.
Petroleum
and Natural gas and Related Hydrocarbon Prices
The
Company currently has no petroleum and natural gas and related hydrocarbon
reserves or production so the Company 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 Company’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 Company’s
exploration projects.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rates
The
Company, 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 Company’s
financial results in the future. To the extent revenues and expenditures
denominated in other currencies vary from their U. S. dollar equivalents, the
Company is exposed to exchange rate risk. The Company can also be exposed to the
extent revenues in one currency do not equal expenditures in the same currency.
The Company is not currently using exchange rate derivatives to manage exchange
rate risks.
Interest
Rates
The
Company’s interest income and interest expense, in part, is sensitive to the
general level of interest rates in North America. The Company is not currently
using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure 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 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.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
2007
Restatement
During
the process of preparing the Company’s 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.
Both of
these errors resulted from the Company not seeking appropriate external advice
regarding the accounting 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 control over financial
reporting.
Remediation
of Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company will endeavor to engage outside consulting assistance
to ensure the proper accounting for non-routine accounting transactions and
compliance with 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
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company continues to have a material
weakness in internal control over financial reporting, relating to the
segregation of duties among certain personnel. 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.

ITEM 1A.
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. Additional financing will be
required by mid 2009. 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
and 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
three months ended March
31, 2009 and the
years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we reported losses of
$500,535,
$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.
