WINWELL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE A — NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Winwell Resources, Inc. (“WRI”) was incorporated is the state of Louisiana in 1994. At that time, various partnerships were dissolved, and substantially all of the assets were contributed to WRI, along with other assets from other entities and individuals. Stockholders in WSF, Inc. (“WSF”) were given the option of selling their WSF ownership to WRI for cash or exchanging their WSF ownership for WRI common stock. Thereafter, WSF became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WRI.
WRI is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Michigan, Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. WSF operates oil and gas wells located primarily in Louisiana on behalf of WRI and third-party interest owners.
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WRI and WSF. All significant transactions between these companies have been eliminated. Unless separately referred to, WRI and WSF are collectively referred to as the “Company”.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include oil and gas reserve quantities which form the basis for the calculation of amortization and impairment of natural gas and crude oil properties. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and estimates of more recent reserve discoveries are more imprecise than those for properties with long production histories. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes oil, gas and plant sales upon delivery to the purchaser. Under the sales method, the Company and other joint owners may sell more or less than their entitled share of the natural gas volume produced. Should the Company’s excess sales of natural gas exceed its share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves, a liability would be recorded by the Company and revenue would be deferred. As of June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company has not recorded a gas imbalance liability.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables: The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible trade receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding credit risk of debtors, historical factors and other related information. The Company did not record a bad debt expense during the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and there was no allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Natural Gas and Crude Oil Properties: The Company accounts for its natural gas and oil producing activities using the full cost method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties, including the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized. These costs, and estimated future development activities, are capitalized in a single cost center and are amortized on an equivalent unit-of-production basis using total estimated proved oil and gas reserves. The cost of unevaluated properties is excluded from the full-cost amortization computation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties or impairment has occurred. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless the ratio of cost to proved reserves would significantly change.
The net capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties are subject to a full cost ceiling limitation in which the costs are not allowed to exceed their related estimated future net revenues discounted at 10%, net of tax considerations.
Property and Equipment Other Than Natural Gas and Crude Oil Properties: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the original estimated economic useful lives of applicable assets, are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is reflected in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to fourteen years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. To date, the Company has not recorded an impairment charge.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits with a financial institution. These accounts exceed federally insured limits. Deposits in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institution and has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
The Company generally receives it oil and gas sales revenue from a limited number of oil and gas companies, generally on a monthly basis. Revenues are typically received within one or two months of the underlying month of production. At any given point, the Company is owed substantial amounts from these companies, generally as unsecured trade receivables. For the year ended June 30, 2005, 60% of the Company’s revenues were generated from three unrelated purchasers. For the year ended June 30, 2004, 61% of the Company’s revenues were generated from three unrelated purchasers. For the year ended June 30, 2003, 56% of the Company’s revenues were generated from three unrelated purchasers.
The Company is not party to any financial instruments which would have off-balance sheet credit or interest rate risk.

JUNE 30, 2005, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS (“SFAS 143”). SFAS 143 requires that a liability be recorded for retirement and removal costs of long-lived assets used in the business. This liability is recorded at its estimated fair value, with a corresponding increase to oil and gas properties. This increase in oil and gas properties is then amortized over the remaining useful life of the property to which the liability relates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable. The fair value of each of these financial instruments is estimated to approximate the carrying value due to the liquid nature of these instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation using Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”). No compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans because the option prices were not below the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (“SFAS 123”) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation expense on stock-based compensation plans based on fair value. Had compensation expense for the options granted been recorded based on the fair value at the grant date for the options, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s net income for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003 would have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

NOTE H — EMPLOYEES’ INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has adopted an incentive compensation plan for its employees. Under this plan, employees will be entitled to additional compensation, on a cash and deferred basis, if year-end shareholder value, as determined under the plan, exceeds threshold levels of net income from producing activities and net incremental oil and gas reserve value, as established by the plan. The deferred portion of this incentive compensation is in the form of “performance shares”. Employees are issued performance shares based upon the calculated value of the Company as of the date for which the shares are issued. Such performance shares will vest as to one-half of the shares during each of the fourth and fifth years following the plan year for which the shares were awarded. Performance shares will be redeemed by the Company in cash as they become vested, at the calculated share value as of the end of the plan year preceding redemption, which may be higher or lower than the value used to award such performance shares. Performance shares relate only to the calculation and payment of the deferred incentive compensation and do not result in the actual issuance of any Company common stock.
The cash portion of the incentive compensation expense is typically paid in December following the plan year, and the deferred portion of the incentive compensation expense is recorded pro-rata over the vesting period. The incentive compensation awarded for the plan years ending from June 30, 1998 through June 30, 2005 are shown in the table below.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect liabilities attributable to performance shares of $7,269,974, $4,071,614 and $2,453,506, respectively, as of June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003. General and administrative expense for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 include $5,964,136, $3,283,019, and $1,642,356, respectively, in expense attributable to the redemption of performance shares.
NOTE I — RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company provides a defined 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “Plan”) which covers all eligible employees. The Plan allows participants to contribute amounts based upon stated percentages of their compensation. Participants are immediately vested in employee contributions. The Plan also allows, but does not require, the Company to make contributions to the Plan. Participants vest as to Company contributions at the rate of 20% each year after two years of service and are fully vested after seven years of services. During the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company made contributions of approximately $225,700, $187,500, and $98,400, respectively, to the Plan.
