WEST CANYON ENERGY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

(An Exploration Stage Company)
|
|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
(Unaudited)
|
West Canyon Energy Corp. (West Canyon or the Company) has
prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instructions to
Form 10-Q and Item 310(b) of regulation S-K. These financial statements should
be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Companys 2009
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 13, 2009, as amended on Form 10K/A on
January 6, 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and
disclosures, which, in the Companys opinion, are necessary for fair
presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results
of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of the entire year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior years financial statements to conform to the current years
presentation.
Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in
United States dollars.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception (July 27,
2004) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $4,445,408 and further losses are
anticipated in the development of the business, raising substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate
profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary capital and
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, PetroSouth Energy Corp. BVI, and
Petrosouth Energy Corporation Sucursal Colombia, a wholly owned branch of
PetroSouth Energy Corp. BVI. All intercompany transactions are eliminated upon
consolidation. Management does not believe the Company to be the primary
beneficiary of any entity, nor does Management believe the Company to hold any
variable interests. The Companys interest in oil and gas exploration and
production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular
basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in
preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are
recorded when known.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Accounting for Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its
exploration and development activities. Under this method of accounting, the
cost of both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities
are capitalized as oil and gas property. The Company has not incurred any
internal costs that are directly related to exploration and development
activities, including salaries and benefits, which could be capitalized as part
of oil and gas property. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas
properties are accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless a
significant portion (greater than 25 percent) of the Companys reserve
quantities in a particular country are sold, in which case a gain or loss is
recognized. Under the full-cost method of accounting, the Company applies a
ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The Company computes
the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and
related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the
sum of: (A) The present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of estimated
future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves
(with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual
arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as
of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future
expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing
the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of unevaluated
properties and major development projects excluded from the costs being
amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven
properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects
related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property. If
capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and
reflected as additional depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Oil and gas unevaluated properties and properties under
development include costs that are excluded from costs being depreciated or
amortized. These costs represent investments in unproved properties and major
development projects in which the Company owns a direct interest. The Company
excludes these costs until proved reserves are found, until it is determined
that the costs are impaired, or major development projects are placed in
service. All costs excluded are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if
impairment has occurred. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to
the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test.
The Company did not have a ceiling test impairment during
either the three or six month periods ended December 31, 2009. The Companys oil
and gas properties totaling $3,888,238 consists solely of unevaluated properties
excluded from the costs being amortized. See Note 3. - Unproved Interest for
further discussion.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas revenues related to proved oil and gas
properties are recorded using the sales method whereby the Company recognizes
oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to
purchasers when title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is
reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the
associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with
delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry
standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period for which
revenue is earned. The Company did not recognize any revenue related to proved
oil and gas properties during the three months or six month periods ended
December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses
related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for
commercial viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves
are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are
impaired. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
offset $26,188 and $21,516, respectively, and during the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company offset $85,864 and $81,123,
respectively, of oil and gas revenue, net of lease operating expense, against
the full cost pool related to unproved properties being evaluated for commercial
viability.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance
with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of
both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the
statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss)
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially
dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all
potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, there were 6,526,666 warrants outstanding, respectively that were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the
effect would have been anti-dilutive.
During the three months ended December 31, 2008, there was
$1,900,000 of convertible notes outstanding under which 3,559,664 shares could
be acquired under full conversion and which were included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share. These shares were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended December 31, 2008,
because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Companys
consolidated operations except its Colombian branch, which uses the Colombian
peso as the functional currency. The Companys U.S. operations and Colombian
operations do not engage in transactions other than in their functional
currencies. As such, the Company had no material earnings impact from foreign
currency transaction gains and losses. The assets and liabilities of the
Companys Colombian branch are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current
exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Colombian income and expenses
are translated at average rates for the periods presented. Translation
adjustments have no effect on net income and are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in stockholders equity. The Company has an immaterial
deferred tax asset due to a translation loss.
Comprehensive Income
ASC Topic 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income resulting from the
translation of the Companys subsidiary financial statements for the three and
six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, are recorded as accumulated
other comprehensive income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification
TM
and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, which has been primarily codified into ASC
Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Standards. This guidance establishes
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which officially commenced July 1,
2009, to become the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases
of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature
excluded from the Codification is considered nonauthoritative. The subsequent
issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates
that will be included in the Codification. Generally, the Codification does not
change U.S. GAAP. This statement was effective for financial statements issued
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company
adopted this standard for the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The standard
has had a minimal effect on the Companys financial statement disclosures, as
all references to authoritative accounting literature are referenced in
accordance with the Codification.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events,
which was primarily codified into FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC,
also known collectively as the Codification) Topic 855, Subsequent Events.
This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued. In particular, this statement sets forth:
-
The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a
reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; and
-
The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements; and
-
The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date.
ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim or annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009, and was to be applied prospectively. The Company
adopted ASC Topic 855 as of June 30, 2009. The Company evaluated all events or
transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009, up through the date we
issued the Companys consolidated financial statements on February 16, 2010.
New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In January 2009, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995,
Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, amending oil and gas reporting
requirements under Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X and Industry Guide 2 in
Regulation S-K and bringing full-cost accounting rules into alignment with the
revised disclosure requirements. The new rules include changes to the pricing
used to estimate reserves, the ability to include nontraditional resources in
reserves, the use of new technology for determining reserves and permitting
disclosure of probable and possible reserves. In September 2009, the FASB issued
Proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU),
Extractive IndustriesOil
and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (Exposure
Draft No. 1730-100), to align the guidance in U.S. GAAP with the changes the SEC
made in December 2008. The final rules are effective for registration statements
filed on or after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports for fiscal years
ending on or after December 31, 2009. The public comment period for the Proposed
ASU ended October 15, 2009; however, no final guidance has been issued by the
FASB. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this release.
In December 2007, FASB issued ASC Topic 805, Business
Combinations. ASC Topic 805 defines a business combination as a transaction or
other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses.
Under Topic 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the
acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method), under which
the acquirer measures all identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values.
Certain forms of contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies are
also recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Topic 805 also requires
that most acquisition related costs be expensed in the period incurred. The
Company adopted the provisions of Topic 805 during its first quarter of fiscal
year 2010, and its adoption will change the Companys accounting for business
combinations on a prospective basis.
At June 30, 2009, the Company owned a 6% participation interest
in approximately 64,000 acres in the Carbonera Block located Northeast of
Bogota, Colombia. The project was near the Venezuelan border in the Catatumbo
Basin in Northeastern Colombia. On September 22, 2009, the Company entered into
an agreement with Delavco Energy Colombia Inc. Sucursal Colombia pursuant to
which the Company agreed to sell 100% of its 6% non-operated participation
interest in the Carbonera Block for $750,000. Closing of the agreement took
place on October 2, 2009. The Companys former chief financial officer and
director is also a consultant of Delavco Energy Colombia Inc. The $750,000 of
proceeds was accounted for as a reduction of Unproved Interest.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements.
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
"may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates",
"predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our
industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities
laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking
statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in
United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that
appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward
looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this
quarterly report.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all
dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise
indicated, the terms we, us, our, our company and West Canyon refer to
West Canyon Energy Corp. and our wholly owned subsidiary, PetroSouth Energy
Corp. BVI and its wholly owned Columbian branch, Petrosouth Energy Corporation
Sucursal Colombia.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. We have incurred losses since inception (July 27, 2004)
resulting in an accumulated deficit of $4,445,408 and further losses are
anticipated in the development of the business, raising substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the
future and/or to obtain the necessary capital and financing to meet our
obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations
when they come due. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern.
We anticipate a cash requirement in the amount of $2,665,000
during the next 12 months, mostly for drilling commitments, seismic,
infrastructure costs and professional fees. Accordingly, we will require
additional funds to implement our exploration and development programs. These
funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources,
which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.
There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a
level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our
common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise
additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our
exploration program.

Revenue
We have not earned any revenues from operations since inception
and we do not anticipate earning such revenues until such time as we have
entered into commercial production of our oil and gas projects. We are currently
in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurances that
we will discover commercially exploitable resources on our properties, or if
such resources are discovered, that we will be able to enter into commercial
production. Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses related to
unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for commercial
viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves are
established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are impaired.
During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we offset $26,188 and
$21,516, respectively, and during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, we offset $85,864 and $81,123, respectively, of oil and gas revenue, net
of lease operating expense, against the full cost pool related to unproved
properties being evaluated for commercial viability.
General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in General and Administrative expenses for the
three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2008, can be primarily attributed to decreases in technical fees
incurred. For the six month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 2008,
the decrease can be primarily attributed to decreases in finders fees,
management fees and professional and other technical fees incurred. The decrease
in these expenses is the result of the controlling of costs due to the economic
downturn and our reoccurring negative cash flows.
Interest Expense and Gain on Forgiveness of Debt
The decrease in interest expense for the both the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same periods of 2008,
is due to the reduction in debt levels outstanding resulting from the
forgiveness of debt by Stealth Energy Ventures. On September 22, 2009, we issued
a promissory note to Stealth
12
Energy Ventures in an original principal amount of $1,050,000
in satisfaction of outstanding convertible notes totaling $1,956,250, including
$56,250 of accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a gain of $906,250 related
to the forgiveness of the then outstanding convertible notes, which was recorded
as a gain on forgiveness of debt. The promissory note carries an interest rate
of 9% per annum which is payable at maturity.
Other Income (Expense), net
The $400,080 Other Income recognized in 2008 related to
forfeited deposits related to potential sales of our Talora and Buenavista
properties.
On July 25, 2008, we entered into a non-binding letter of
intent with Delavaco Energy Colombia Inc. Sucursal Colombia, a subsidiary of
Delavaco Energy Inc., for the sale of our 20% participating interest in the
Talora oil and gas property in Colombia. The total purchase price was
$3,500,000, of which we received a nonrefundable deposit of $200,000. The
non-binding letter of intent provided for an exclusivity period of 120 days,
which expired on or about November 30, 2008. The $200,000 deposit was recorded
as Other Income on November 30, 2008.
Effective September 16, 2008, we also entered into a
non-binding letter of intent with Delavaco Energy Colombia Inc. Sucursal
Colombia, for the sale of our 16% participating interest in the Buenavista oil
and gas property in Colombia. The total purchase price was $4,000,000, of which
we received a nonrefundable deposit of $200,000. The non-binding letter of
intent provided for an exclusivity period to end on December 31, 2008, at which
time the deposit was forfeited. The $200,000 deposit was recorded as Other
Income on December 31, 2008.
In total, we recognized $400,000 in Other Income related to
these forfeited deposits.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of
$1,937,305 consisting primarily of $1,790,000 of short-term debt and $251,977 of
accounts payable and accrued expenses.
We have raised net proceeds of $7,215,500 in various advances
and debt and equity financings since our inception (July 27, 2004), and have
used the majority of the net proceeds to acquire our prospect blocks in
Colombia, as well as for general and administrative expenses and working capital
purposes.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended
December 31, 2009, totaled $233,251 and consisted primarily of the net earnings
of $594,123, net of the non-cash gain on forgiveness of debt of $906,250. We
also had a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the
period of $83,832. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months
ended December 31, 2008, totaled $538,583 and consisted primarily of the net
loss of $372,447, net of non-cash charges of $130,000 related to the fair value
of our common share issued for consulting services. We also had $324,512 of
other working capital changes.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months
ended December 31, 2009, totaled $678,945 and consisted primarily of the
$600,000 of final proceeds received from the sale of our interest in the
Carbonera Block in Colombia. Net cash used in investing activities for the six
months ended December 31, 2008, totaled $59,850.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended
December 31, 2009, totaled $450,000 and consisted of the required partial
repayment of the September 2009 promissory note upon the sale of our interest in
the Carbonera Block. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six
months ended December 31, 2008, totaled $600,000 resulting from the net proceeds
from lender advances.
On September 22, 2009, we issued a promissory note to Stealth
Energy Ventures AG in an original principal amount of $1,050,000 in satisfaction
of outstanding convertible notes totaling $1,956,250, including $56,250 of
accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a gain of $906,250 related to the
forgiveness of the then outstanding convertible notes, which was recorded as a
gain on forgiveness of debt. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 9%
per annum which is payable at maturity. The promissory note is repayable as
follows:
13
|
i.
|
$450,000 payable upon disposition of the interest in the
Carbonera project, which was to occur on or before November 1, 2009;
and
|
|
|
|
|
ii.
|
$600,000 payable upon disposition of the interest in the
Buena Vista project, which is to occur on or before May 31,
2010.
|
Upon closing on the sale of the Carbonera Block on October 2,
2009, we made the requirement payment of $450,000, in accordance with the
repayment terms.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The
continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a
successful program of exploration, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of
operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a
significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.
Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will
increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further
funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing
various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial
requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional
financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as
planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become
due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our
operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting for Oil and Gas Properties
We use the full-cost method of accounting for our exploration
and development activities. Under this method of accounting, the cost of both
successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities are
capitalized as oil and gas property. We have not incurred any internal costs
that are directly related to exploration and development activities, including
salaries and benefits, which could be capitalized as part of oil and gas
property. Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties are
accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless a significant portion
(greater than 25 percent) of our reserve quantities in a particular country are
sold, in which case a gain or loss is recognized. Under the full-cost method of
accounting, we apply a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost
pool. We compute the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated
depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling)
equal to the sum of: (A) The present value, using a ten percent discount rate,
of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and
gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by
contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas
reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated
future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and
producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent
and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of
unevaluated properties and major development projects excluded from the costs
being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven
properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects
related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property. If
capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and
reflected as additional depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Oil and gas unevaluated properties and properties under
development include costs that are excluded from costs being depreciated or
amortized. These costs represent investments in unproved properties and major
development projects in which we own a direct interest. We exclude these costs
until proved reserves are found, until it is determined that the costs are
impaired, or major development projects are placed in service. All costs
excluded are
14
reviewed at least quarterly to determine if impairment has
occurred. We add the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized
subject to the ceiling test.
We did not have a ceiling test impairment during either the
three or six month periods ended December 31, 2009. Our oil and gas properties
totaling $3,888,238 consists solely of unevaluated properties excluded from the
costs being amortized.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas revenues related to proved oil and gas
properties are recorded using the sales method whereby we recognize oil and
natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when
title passes, the amount is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for
processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation,
marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs
and taxes are recognized in the same period for which revenue is earned. We did
not recognize any revenue related to proved oil and gas properties during the
three months or six month periods ended December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Oil and natural gas revenues and lease operating expenses
related to unproved oil and gas properties that are being evaluated for
commercial viability are offset against the full cost pool until proved reserves
are established, or determination is made that the unproved properties are
impaired. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we offset
$26,188 and $21,516, respectively, and during the six months ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, we offset $85,864 and $81,123, respectively, of oil and gas
revenue, net of lease operating expense, against the full cost pool related to
unproved properties being evaluated for commercial viability.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
We compute earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC
Topic 260, Earnings per Share. ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of both
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the statement
of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive
shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, there were 6,526,666 warrants outstanding, respectively that were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the
effect would have been anti-dilutive.
During the three months ended December 31, 2008, there was
$1,900,000 of convertible notes outstanding under which 3,559,664 shares could
be acquired under full conversion and which were included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share. These shares were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended December 31, 2008,
because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated
operations except its Colombian branch, which uses the Colombian peso as the
functional currency. Our U.S. operations and Colombian operations do not engage
in transactions other than in their functional currencies. As such, we had no
material earnings impact from foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The
assets and liabilities of our Colombian branch are translated into U.S. dollars
based on the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.
Colombian income and expenses are translated at average rates for the periods
presented. Translation adjustments have no effect on net income and are included
in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. We have an
immaterial deferred tax asset due to a translation loss.
15
Comprehensive Income
ASC Topic 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income resulting from the
translation of our subsidiary financial statements for the three and six month
periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, are recorded as accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification
TM
and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, which has been primarily codified into ASC
Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Standards. This guidance establishes
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which officially commenced July 1,
2009, to become the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases
of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature
excluded from the Codification is considered nonauthoritative. The subsequent
issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates
that will be included in the Codification. Generally, the Codification does not
change U.S. GAAP. This statement was effective for financial statements issued
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted this
standard for the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The standard has had a
minimal effect on our financial statement disclosures, as all references to
authoritative accounting literature are referenced in accordance with the
Codification.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events,
which was primarily codified into FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC,
also known collectively as the Codification) Topic 855, Subsequent Events.
This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued. In particular, this statement sets forth:
-
The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a
reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; and
-
The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements; and
-
The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date.
ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim or annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009, and was to be applied prospectively. We adopted ASC
Topic 855 as of June 30, 2009. We evaluated all events or transactions that
occurred after December 31, 2009, up through the date we issued our consolidated
financial statements on February 16, 2010.
New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In January 2009, the SEC issued Release No. 33-8995,
Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, amending oil and gas reporting
requirements under Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X and Industry Guide 2 in
Regulation S-K and bringing full-cost accounting rules into alignment with the
revised disclosure requirements. The new rules include changes to the pricing
used to estimate reserves, the ability to include nontraditional resources in
reserves, the use of new technology for determining reserves and permitting
disclosure of probable and possible reserves. In September 2009, the FASB issued
Proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU),
Extractive IndustriesOil
and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (Exposure
Draft No. 1730-100), to align the guidance in U.S. GAAP with the changes the SEC
made in December 2008. The final rules are effective for registration statements
filed on or after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports for fiscal years
ending on or after December 31, 2009. The public comment period for the Proposed
ASU ended October 15, 2009; however, no final guidance has been issued by the
FASB. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this release.
16
In December 2007, FASB issued ASC Topic 805, Business
Combinations. ASC Topic 805 defines a business combination as a transaction or
other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses.
Under Topic 805, all business combinations are accounted for by applying the
acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method), under which
the acquirer measures all identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values.
Certain forms of contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies are
also recorded at their acquisition date fair values. Topic 805 also requires
that most acquisition related costs be expensed in the period incurred. We
adopted the provisions of Topic 805 during its first quarter of fiscal year
2010, and its adoption will change our accounting for business combinations on a
prospective basis.
Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to
provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our
principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal
accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of December 31, 2009, the end of our quarter covered by this
report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal
financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the
foregoing, our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial
officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during our quarter ended December 31, 2009
that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings
against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material
proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our
directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder,
is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Much of the information included in this quarterly report
includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking
statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or
estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business
operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon
which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment
regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary,
sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions
or other future performance suggested herein.
17
Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking
statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We
caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in
the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to
differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections
or other "forward looking statements".
Our common shares are considered speculative during the
development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should
consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
Risks Related to Our Business
Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our
business may fail and our investors may lose all of their investment in our
company.
We have no history of revenues from operations. We have never
had significant operations and have no significant assets. We have yet to
generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever
operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history. If our business
plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock
may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our
company.
We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable
future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from
future acquisitions, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that
we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate
any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing
these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their
investment in our company.
We have a history of losses and have negative cash flows
from operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern.
We have not generated any revenues since our incorporation and
we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are in
commercial deployment. To date we have had negative cash flows from operations
and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing
to meet our cash requirements and have incurred net losses from inception (July
27, 2004) to December 31, 2009 of $(4,445,408). Our net cash used in operations
for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $233,251. As of December 31, 2009
we had a working capital deficit of ($1,937,305). We do not expect positive cash
flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash
requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital
may be required in the event that drilling and completion costs increase beyond
our expectations; or we encounter greater costs associated with general and
administrative expenses or offering costs. The occurrence of any of the
aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business
plans. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully execute
our business plan. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern,
investors will likely lose all of their investments in our company.
There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will
generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in
the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not
within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will purchase
our services, the size of customers purchases, the demand for our services, and
the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot generate
positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our
normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our
operations.
We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for
the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside
capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing.
There is no guarantee that sufficient capital will continue to be available to
meet these continuing development costs or that it will be on terms acceptable
to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a
significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.
Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will
increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
18
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on
terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as
a result may be required to scale back or cease operations of our business, the
result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their
investment.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our
ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our
operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could
result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in
our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been and will be
primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price
of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our
continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in
the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would
have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations,
including our ability to develop new products and continue our current
operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional
capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our
obligations.
We have a limited operating history and if we are not
successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or
even cease our ongoing business operations.
We have no history of revenues from operations and have yet to
generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever
operate profitably. The success of our company is significantly dependent on a
successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our
companys operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the
establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the
absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate
recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development
stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally
encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not
successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some
or all of their investment in our company.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of
our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally
because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We
are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing
commercial reserves of oil and gas. Our properties are in the exploration stage.
Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit
from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate
any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the
future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic
reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set
forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise
additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to
continue our business operations.
The nature of oil and gas exploration and development
involves many risks that we may not be able to overcome.
Oil and gas exploration and development is very competitive and
involves many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful
evaluation may not be able to overcome. As with any petroleum property, there
can be no assurance that oil or gas will be extracted from any of the properties
subject to our exploration and production contracts. Furthermore, the
marketability of any discovered resource will be affected by numerous factors
beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, market
fluctuations of prices, proximity and capacity of pipelines and processing
equipment, equipment availability and government regulations (including, without
limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure,
allowable production, importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental
protection). The extent of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the
combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return
on invested capital.
19
The marketability of natural resources will be affected by
numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an
adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or
discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These
factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the
proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment,
governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the
importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the
combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return
on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive
regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in
excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local
laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating
removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into
the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and
local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by
regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits
from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no
assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental
standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed
and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities.
Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require
capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect
on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other
environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to
prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required
to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations.
However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our
ability to expand or maintain our operations.
Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become
liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on
our financial position.
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk.
Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages,
labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain
suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are
involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against
which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring
any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position
and operations.
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices
may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our
profitability.
The business of resource exploration and development is subject
to regulation relating to the exploration for, and the development, upgrading,
marketing, pricing, taxation, and transportation of oil and gas and related
products and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing
operations and activities of oil and gas exploration and development operations
could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, there can be
no assurance that income tax laws, royalty regulations and government incentive
programs related to the properties subject to our exploration and production
contracts and the oil and gas industry generally, will not be changed in a
manner which may adversely affect our progress and cause delays, inability to
explore and develop or abandonment of these interests.
Permits, leases, licenses, and approvals are required from a
variety of regulatory authorities at various stages of exploration and
development. There can be no assurance that the various government permits,
leases, licenses and approvals sought will be granted in respect of our
activities or, if granted, will not be cancelled or will be renewed upon expiry.
There is no assurance that such permits, leases, licenses, and approvals will
not contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect our exploration and
development activities.
20
All or a portion of our interest in our properties may be
lost if we are unable to obtain significant additional financing, as we are
required to make significant expenditures on the exploration and development of
our properties.
Our ability to continue exploration and, if warranted,
development of our properties will be dependent upon our ability to raise
significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such financing, a
portion of our interest in our properties may be lost or our properties may be
lost entirely and revert back to the government of Colombia. We have limited
financial resources and no material cash flow from operations and we are
dependent for funds on our ability to sell our common shares, primarily on a
private placement basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain financing on that basis in light of factors such as the market demand for
our securities, the state of financial markets generally and other relevant
factors.
We anticipate that we may need to obtain additional bank
financing or sell additional debt or equity securities in future public or
private offerings. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be
available to us for exploration and development of our projects or to fulfill
our obligations under the applicable petroleum prospecting licenses. Although
historically we have announced additional financings to proceed with the
development of some of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such
financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could
result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and
development of our projects with the possible loss of our petroleum prospecting
licenses.
We will require substantial funds to enable us to decide
whether our non-producing properties contain commercial oil and gas deposits and
whether they should be brought into production, and if we cannot raise the
necessary funds we may never be able to realize the potential of these
properties.
Our decision as to whether our unproved properties contain
commercial oil and gas deposits and should be brought into production will
require substantial funds and depend upon the results of exploration programs
and feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers,
geologists, or both. This decision will involve consideration and evaluation of
several significant factors including but not limited to: (1) costs of bringing
a property into production, including exploration and development work,
preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production
facilities; (2) availability and costs of financing; (3) ongoing costs of
production; (4) market prices for the oil and gas to be produced; (5)
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and (6) political climate,
governmental regulation and control. If we are unable to raise the funds
necessary to properly evaluate our unproved properties, then we may not be able
to realize any potential of these properties.
We have licenses in respect of our properties, but our
properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which
have not been recorded or detected through title searches, and are subject to a
governmental right of participation, resulting in a possible claim against any
future revenues generated by such properties.
We have licenses with respect to our oil and gas properties and
we believe our interests are valid and enforceable given that they have been
granted directly by the government of Colombia, although we have not obtained an
opinion of counsel or any similar form of title opinion to that effect. However,
these licenses do not guarantee title against all possible claims. The
properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which
have not been recorded or detected through title research. If the interests in
our properties are challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such
claims and may ultimately lose some or all of any revenues generated from the
properties if we lose our interest in such properties.
The majority of our projects are located in Colombia where
oil and gas exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by
political and government regulations which could have a negative impact on our
ability to continue our operations.
The majority of our projects in which we have participation
stakes are located in Colombia. Exploration activities in Colombia may be
affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government
regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. Any changes in regulations or
shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect
our business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government
regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export
controls, income taxes, expropriations of property,
21
environmental legislation and safety. The status of Colombia as
a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain any required
financing for our projects. The effect of all these factors cannot be accurately
predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in restructuring Colombia
political institutions and revitalizing its economy, the present administration,
or any successor government, may not be able to sustain the progress achieved.
While the Colombia economy has experienced growth in recent years, such growth
may not continue in the future at similar rates or at all. If the economy of
Colombia fails to continue its growth or suffers a recession, we may not be able
to continue our operations in that country. We do not carry political risk
insurance.
The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends
upon factors beyond the control of our company.
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is
dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and
markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject
to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other
factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social,
and economic environments. Additionally, due to world-wide economic uncertainty,
the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become
increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events
may materially affect our financial performance.
Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.
A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious
substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or
gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if
it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability
of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected 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. The extent of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but the
combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate
return on invested capital.
Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly
competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring
the licenses.
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete
with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas
companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational
resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for
desirable oil and gas properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling
equipment, as well as for access to funds. There can be no assurance that the
necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.
There are other competitors that have operations in the properties in Colombia
and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to
acquire additional property interests.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs Penny
Stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our
stock
.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
regulations which generally define penny stock to be any equity security that
has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price
of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are
covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers
generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals
with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or
$300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared
by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and
level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide
the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and
salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in
writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in
writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In
22
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is
a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock
that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock
rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We
believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the
marketability of, our common stock.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales
practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our
stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative
low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA
requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their
customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is
limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their
shares or liquidate their investments
.
Shares of our common stock are currently quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide
fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a
number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market
has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often
been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies
with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading
prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will
be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating
performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market
price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often
been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial
costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of
our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally
because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We
are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing
commercial reserves of oil and gas. Our properties are primarily in the
exploration stage only. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have
we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood
that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any
profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating
and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to
numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any
revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity
securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.
We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the
shares of stock of our company.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not
intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we
require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our
funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend
to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come
through an increase in the stocks price. This may never happen and investors
may lose all of their investment in our company.

Risks Related to Our Company
Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and
directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them
.
Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the
indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and
expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an
action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or
proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one
of our directors or officers.
Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and
investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue
additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities
.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 150,000,000
shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are
required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to
raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in
our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book
value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we
issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in
the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further,
any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
Our By-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions which
could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over
of our company
.
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any
anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions,
there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a
change in our management and directors.
