NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED, CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March
31, 2006, and the cash flows and results of operations for the three and the six
months then ended. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1
to the Company's consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's
2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, and it is suggested that these consolidated,
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction therewith.
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE
---------------------------------
UNITED STATES PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------
Statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-QSB are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, among others: general economic conditions;
the market price of oil and natural gas; the risks associated with exploration
and production in the Rocky Mountain region; the ability of the Company or its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Altex Oil Corporation ("AOC"), to find, acquire,
market, develop, and produce new properties; operating hazards attendant to the
oil and natural gas business; uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves
and in the projection of future rates of production and timing of development
expenditures; the strength and financial resources of competitors; the Company's
and AOC's ability to find and retain skilled personnel; climatic conditions;
availability and cost of material and equipment; delays in anticipated start-up
dates; environmental risks; the results of financing efforts; and other
uncertainties detailed elsewhere herein and in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the three months ended December 31, 2005 ("Q1FY06") AOC sold its
non-operated working interests in three producing oil and gas wells for
proceeds, net of selling expenses, of $206,000. Effective January 1, 2006, AOC
sold (1) all of its remaining non-operated working interests in producing oil
and gas wells in Wyoming, (2) all of its operated working interests in producing
oil and gas wells, and (3) all of its overriding royalty interests in then
producing oil and gas wells in Wyoming. During the quarter ending March 31, 2006
("Q2FY06"), AOC received $2,362,000 cash, net of selling expenses, for the
interests it sold effective January 1, 2006. AOC retains very small working and
overriding royalty interests in producing oil and gas wells in the
Bluebell-Altamont Field in Utah, an overriding royalty interest in the Standard
Draw and Echo Springs Fields in Wyoming, and an interest in an application for
leases under the Combined Hydrocarbon Leasing Act of 1981 in the Tar Sands
Triangle Area of Utah. The Company intends to invest the proceeds of the sales
either in interests in oil and gas properties or otherwise. There can be no
assurance as to if and when any such investment will be made.
The Company is likely to experience negative cash flow from operations unless
and until the Company invests in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in
another venture that produces cash flow from operations. With the exception of
capital expenditures related to production acquisitions or drilling or
recompletion activities, none of which are currently planned, the cash flows
that could result from such acquisitions or activities, and the possible
investment by the Company in one or more other ventures, the Company knows of no
trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on the Company's short-term or long-term liquidity.
Page 5 of 7
Except for cash generated by the operation of AOC's producing oil and gas
properties, asset sales, and interest income, the Company has no internal or
external sources of liquidity other than its working capital. At May 5, 2006,
the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
AOC is completing the restoration of the area that had contained its East
Tisdale Field in Johnson County, Wyoming. AOC has removed all equipment from the
field and has recontoured and reseeded virtually all disturbed areas in the
field. Barring unforeseen events, the Company does not believe that the expense
associated with any remaining restoration activities will be material, although
this cannot be assured. After AOC's bonds with the state and the Bureau of Land
Management are released, the Company does not believe it will have any further
liability in connection with the field, although this cannot be assured. The
Company regularly assesses its exposure to both environmental liability and
reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement ("RR&D"). The Company does not
believe that it currently has any material exposure to environmental liability
or to RR&D, net of salvage value, although this cannot be assured.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The sales of AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties caused oil and
gas sales to decline from $209,000 in Q2FY05 to $12,000 in Q2FY06 and from
$444,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to $330,000 in the six months
ended March 31, 2006. The increase in cash balances resulting from the sales of
AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties, together with higher
interest rates, caused interest income to increase from $13,000 in Q2FY05 to
$50,000 in Q2FY06 and from $25,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to
$75,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006. The Company recorded gain on
sale of assets of $2,324,000 in Q2FY06 and $2,530,000 in the six months ended
March 31, 2006.
The sales of AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties caused lease
operating expense to decline from $72,000 in Q2FY05 to nil in Q2FY06 and from
$160,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to $113,000 in the six months
ended March 31, 2006. Accrued production costs at March 31, 2006, consist of
accrued production tax liabilities related to oil and gas sales recognized
during Q1FY06. The sales of AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties
caused production taxes to decline from $24,000 in Q2FY05 to $1,000 in Q2FY06
and from $53,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to $39,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2006. Pursuant to his employment agreement, the Company's
president is to receive a bonus equal to no less than 10% of earnings before
tax. Accordingly, the Company recorded accrued bonus expense of $28,000 during
Q1FY06 and $228,000 during Q2FY06. Excluding accrued bonus expense, general and
administrative expense ("G&A") increased 10% from $103,000 in Q2FY05 to $113,000
in Q2FY06 and 7% from $214,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to
$228,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006.
Net earnings increased from $21,000 in Q2FY05 to $2,049,000 in Q2FY06 and from
$38,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to $2,302,000 in the six months
ended March 31, 2006, because of gains on sales of assets of $2,324,000 in
Q2FY06 and $2,530,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006. Excluding gains on
sales of assets and accrued bonus expense, there was a net loss of $47,000
during Q2FY06.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from
$43,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005, to $102,000 in the six months
ended March 31, 2006.
Investing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2005, the Company
invested $5,000 in information technology equipment. In the six months ended
March 31, 2006, proceeds from the sales of assets, net of selling expenses, were
$2,568,000.
Financing Activities. The Company acquired 110,200 shares of its Common Stock
for $11,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2005. The Company did not acquire
any shares of its Common Stock in the six months ended March 31, 2006.
Page 6 of 7
Unless and until the Company invests a substantial portion of its cash balances
in interests in producing oil and gas wells or into one or more other ventures
that produce revenue and net income, the Company is likely to experience net
losses. With the exception of unanticipated variations in production levels,
unanticipated RR&D, unanticipated environmental expense, and possible changes in
oil and gas price levels and interest rates, the Company is not aware of any
other trends, events, or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably
expected to have a material impact on net sales or revenues or income from
continuing operations.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its
judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures
which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding
management's control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be
included in the Company's Exchange Act reports. There have been no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company
carried out its evaluation.
