3. | LOAN RECEIVABLE |
| |
| The loan receivable is due from Royalite Petroleum Corp. (“Royalite”), which the Company subsequently merged with, as described in Note 2. The loan is unsecured, and has no specified terms of repayment. |
4. | DUE TO RELATED PARTIES |
| | |
| (a) | Included in accounts payable is $nil (April 30, 2006 - $182,369) due to two directors for unpaid management compensation, $3,794 (April 30, 2006 - $2,168) due to a director for accrued interest on the shareholder loan, and $nil (April 30, 2006 - $nil) due to a past director for interest accrued on convertible notes payable.

6. | CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE |
On January 25, 2006, the Company approved an offering of up to $400,000 of 10% convertible notes.
Upon closing on July 31, 2006, $190,000 of convertible notes were issued. Of the notes issued, $38,000 were issued in settlement of an amount due to a director.
The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 10% per annum, payable annually and fall due on April 30, 2008.
The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder, on the basis of the lesser of $0.20 or 75% of the average market price of the Company’s shares for the ten day period prior to the date of conversion.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 10% convertible notes is required to be accounted for as a derivative, according to Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133) and Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract Issue No. 00-19 (EITF 00-19), as the conversion feature met the attributes of a liability. The fair value of the conversion feature has been recorded as a current liability.
Changes in the fair value of the value of the derivative are recorded as a “gain (loss) on embedded derivative liability”.
The Company recorded an interest expense of $1,073,500 at the inception of the conversion feature, as the notes are immediately convertible at the option of the lender.
During the period ended January 31, 2007 the Company paid interest on the notes amounting to $4,790 and a recorded a loss resulting from the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability of $1,159,000.
On October 31, 2006, all convertible notes were converted to capital stock of the Company at $0.20 per share resulting in the issuance of 950,000 common shares. (Note 7)

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks discussed below, and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2006. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the terms "we,” "us,” "our,” “Royalite” and the “Company” mean Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
OVERVIEW
We own and operate an international business-to-business and government-to-business facilitation service, which combines proprietary software with the power of the Internet to bring buyers and sellers together from around the world for interactive trade (the “Worldbid Operations”). We have designed our Worldbid.com Internet web site to enable companies throughout the world to procure, source (buy) and tender (sell) products and services nationally and internationally. Our Worldbid Operations are operated through our wholly owned subsidiary, Worldbid International Inc. (formerly Worldbid Canada Corporation).
On February 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Royalite Petroleum Corp. (“Royalite Corp.”), an oil and gas exploration company active exclusively in the Utah Hingeline Trend of South-Central Utah. We acquired Royalite Corp. by way of a “triangular merger” pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “First Merger Agreement”) among Royalite Corp., the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated for the sole purpose of completing the acquisition of Royalite Corp., Royalite Acquisition Corp. (“Acquisition Sub”). Under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royalite Corp. was merged with and into Acquisition Sub, with Acquisition Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”). Immediately following the completion of the First Merger, we completed a second merger whereby Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Second Merger”).
Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger Agreement, each share of Royalite Corp.’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was converted into one share of the Company’s common stock. As a result, we issued a total of 24,960,667 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Royalite Corp. upon the completion of the First Merger. As a result, the completion of the acquisition of Royalite Corp. affected a change in control of the Company, with the former stockholders of Royalite now owning a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock.
3
As a part of the Second Merger, we changed our name from “Worldbid Corporation” to “Royalite Petroleum Company Inc.” in order to reflect our new business activities.
In February, 2007, our management decided not to proceed with the spin-off of our Worldbid Operations as had previously been announced. As a result, in addition to pursuing the oil and gas exploration activities previously carried on by Royalite Corp. (the “Royalite Operations”), we also intend to continue our Worldbid Operations.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Since the end of our quarter ended October 31, 2006, we have experienced the following corporate developments:

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Central Utah Hingeline Project
Our oil and gas exploration activities are currently concentrated solely along the Utah Hingeline Trend of South-Central Utah. We are currently focusing our property acquisition and exploration activities on areas surrounding the Covenant oil field. In determining which properties to target for acquisition and exploration, we have used a proprietary electromagnetic (EM) sensing technology to conduct initial geophysical surveys from the surface and to identify potential hydrocarbon structures. The EM sensing technology utilizes naturally transmitted electromagnetic radiation emitted from the Earth’s molten core to locate and measure subsurface formations and potential mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Because the EM sensing technology does not require the use of heavy equipment, we believe that it will allow us to more efficiently and more economically identify potential properties of interest. Upon securing rights to a particular property, we then conduct other geophysical surveys in order to identify sites for exploratory wells.
Although we believe that use of the EM sensing technology will allow us to more effectively identify potential properties of interest, there is no assurance that we will discover any oil or gas reserves on the properties that we acquire. We do not currently own any productive wells or developed acreage and we have not yet discovered any proven oil or gas reserves on any of our properties.
Undeveloped Acreage
As at February 28, 2007, immediately following the completion of the merger with Royalite Corp., we owned oil and gas leases on undeveloped acreage located both north and south of the Covenant oil field, in the Piute, Garfield, Iron, Sanpete and Wayne counties of South-Central Utah:
| Gross Acres(1) | Net Acres(2) |
Utah Hingeline Trend | 69,759 | 67,025 |
| (1) | “Gross” acres are calculated as the total number of acres in which we own a working interest. |
| (2) | “Net” acres are calculated as gross acres multiplied by our fractional working interest in the property. |
5
“Undeveloped” acres are properties on which wells have not been developed or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or gas, regardless of whether or not such acreage contains proved reserves.
Our rights to these undeveloped acres were acquired under oil and gas leases with the federal Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”), the State of Utah and with private land owners.
| Gross | Net | | | |
| Acres | Acres | Term | Royalties Payable | Yearly Rentals |
BLM (federal) | 52,219.16 | 52,218.86 | 10 years | 1/8 of all oil and gas | $1.50 per acre per |
| | | | produced and sold. | year, increasing to |
| | | | | $2.00 per acre per |
| | | | | year after the first 5 |
| | | | | years. |
| | | | | |
State of Utah | 6,316.03 | 6,316.03 | 10 years | 1/8 of all oil and gas | $1.00 per year. |
| | | | produced and sold. | |
| | | | | |
Private | 11,223.58 | 8,489.79 | 5 years | 1/8 of all oil and gas | None. |
| | | (extendable for an | produced and sold. | |
| | | additional 5 years | | |
| | | at $30.00 per acre) | | |
We also owned a 2.5% royalty interest in and to all oil and gas produced and sold or used off of approximately 285 undeveloped acres (7.125 net acres) also located in the Utah Hingeline Trend.
Present Activities
In February, 2007, Royalite Corp. reviewed and analyzed gravity and, magnetic surveys and analyzed both iodine and kaoilinite geochemical surveys in and around the Royalite State 16-1, the Company’s initial drilling location. These surveys were conducted in addition to the EM surveys Royalite Corp. had conducted prior to acquiring rights to those properties.
As of the date of filing of this report, we are in the process of drilling one exploratory well (the “Royalite State 16-1 Well”) and have identified two other potential drill sites. All three of these drill sites are located in Piute County in South-Central Utah. We are also in the process of analyzing gravity, magnetic and geochemical surveys on approximately 20,000 acres in northern Piute county for which we have secured oil and gas leases. We also have plans to permit and commence a seismic program in northern Piute County covering lands we currently have under lease in T-27-S, R-3-W and T-28-S, R-3-W, Piute Co., Utah. The seismic surveys will be tied into the subsurface data we gather from the Royalite State 16-1 well.
Royalite State 16-1 Well: (SE/4SW/4 – Section 16, T-28-S, R-3-W, Piute County, Utah.) Our first exploratory well was spudded on March 8, 2007. We estimate that drilling and testing of the well will be completed sometime in the late spring of 2007. The closest completed well was drilled 14 miles south of the Royalite State 16-1 Well by ARCO Exploration Company in 1981 in Section 27, T-30-S, R-3-W, Piute County. The ARCO well encountered an estimated 1,287 ft of Jurassic Navajo Sandstone beginning at a depth of 5,269 ft., and encountered the Permian Kaibab formation at a depth of 8,938 ft. ARCO cored a Kaibab interval from 8,999 ft. to 9,008 ft. that did not contain any hydrocarbons. No tests were conducted in the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone formation according to records kept by the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. The primary targets of the Royalite State 16-1 Well are the Juarssic Twin Creek and Navajo Sandstone formation, with the secondary target being the Permian Kaibab formation. The closest productive
6
wells are located approximately 28 miles to the northeast of the Royalite State 16-1 Well, in the Covenant oil field. The ten active wells in the Covenant oil field are producing from a thick Jurassic Navajo Sandstone.
We have also filed for a second drilling permit from the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. This second well site, known as the Royalite Federal 27-1 Well, is located two miles southeast of the City of Marysvale in the NE/4NE/4 of Section 27, T-27-S, R-3-W, Piute County. The primary target of this second well is also expected to be the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone formation, estimated to be approximately 5,300 ft below the surface.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We do not currently have, and are not expected to have, sufficient capital resources to meet all of the anticipated costs of our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability to complete the plan of operation for our Worldbid Operations and Royalite Operations will be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing. The following summarizes our plan of operation in connection with our Worldbid Operations and Royalite Operations.
Worldbid Operations
We currently earn revenue from the following sources:
1. | Sales of membership subscriptions to businesses using our Worldbid web sites; |
| |
2. | Up-front fees for partnership arrangements where we are paid for our web site development services; |
| |
3. | Sales of advertising placed on our Worldbid web sites and on e-mail trade notifications that are transmitted via the Worldbid web sites to businesses; and |
| |
4. | Revenue sharing arrangements for web sites that are operated pursuant to partnership or strategic alliance arrangements. |
We began generating advertising revenues in August 1999. We began to charge membership subscription fees for our Worldbid web sites in April 2001. We have repositioned our revenue model for our Worldbid Operations to a revenue model based primarily on charging fees to businesses for membership subscriptions to our Worldbid web sites from one that earns revenues from advertising on e-mail notifications. As we have undertaken this repositioning strategy, our revenues from advertising have become a smaller proportion of overall revenues. We have undertaken this repositioning strategy based on our belief that our Worldbid web sites now offer sufficient value to businesses to justify charging a fee to businesses that choose to become members of our Worldbid web sites. However, there is no assurance that our fee-based subscription revenue model will be commercially successful.
Royalite Operations
Subject to the availability of sufficient financing, we expect to spend up to $14,655,000 on our oil and gas exploration and development activities over the next twelve months. These activities are expected to include the following:
7
(i) | Drilling at least 5 exploratory wells on the properties to which we have secured oil and gas leases. We estimate that it will cost approximately $2,000,000 per well hole for drilling, and an additional $500,000 per well hole to complete each well if commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are found; |
| |
(ii) | Securing rights to an additional 33,000 acres of land located in the Utah Hingeline Trend of south-central Utah from the BLM, the State of Utah and private land owners. We have estimated that it will cost approximately $620,000 to acquire rights to these additional 33,000 acres; and |
| |
(iii) | Conducting seismic surveys of approximately 30 miles at a total estimated cost of approximately $1,500,000. |
In addition, we anticipate spending approximately $35,000 over the next twelve months on overhead costs.

Revenues
Our revenues are generated solely from our Worldbid Operations. Our revenues from membership subscriptions and partnership fees reflect our decision to pursue revenues from subscriptions to our Worldbid web sites as our primary source of revenue. Revenues from our Worldbid global payment services and data mining services were minimal during our third quarter ended January 31, 2007.
Our revenues from sales of membership subscriptions to our Worldbid web sites, advertising sales and partnership fees for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 declined by 12.4% and 23.1% as compared to the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2006, respectively. The largest reason for the decrease in our revenues was the loss of a large advertising contract. Over the last nine months, we have decreased the amount that we spend on advertising our Worldbid web sites and network. This, in turn, has resulted in a decrease in our revenues. We do not intend to significantly increase the amount that we spend on advertising for our Worldbid Operations during the next twelve months. As a result, the decrease in our Worldbid revenues is expected to be permanent.
We do not anticipate earning revenue from our Royalite Operations in the near future.

Operating Expenses
The major components of our expenses for the quarter are outlined in the table below:
| Three Months Ended January 31, | | Nine Months Ended January 31, |
| | | Percentage | | | | Percentage |
| 2007 | 2006 | Increase / | | 2007 | 2006 | Increase / |
| | | (Decrease) | | | | (Decrease) |
Selling, General and | $166,637 | $108,147 | 54.1% | | $395,815 | $287,424 | 37.7% |
Administrative Expenses | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Interest Expense | $4,183 | $4,997 | (16.3)% | | $1,091,254 | $17,301 | 6,207.5% |
| | | | | | | |
Total Expenses | $170,820 | $113,144 | 51.0% | | $1,487,069 | $304,725 | 388.0% |
The increase in our interest expenses over the past nine months was primarily due to the fact that we recorded an interest expense of $1,087,071 on the conversion feature of the 10% convertible notes issued in the convertible note offering closed in July, 2006. Interest expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2007 did not change significantly from interest expenses during the same period ended in 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 our total expenses increased by 54.1% and 37.7% respectively as compared to the same periods in 2006. This increase was primarily a result of the cumulative effect of the following:
| (a) | Officers remuneration for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 increased by approximately $17,000 and $53,000 respectively as compared to 2006. This was a result of an increase in the amount that we agreed to pay to Mr. Anderson, our CFO, Treasurer and Secretary (and, until February 28, 2007, our President and CEO), as a result of increases in our demands on Mr. Anderson’s time; |
| | |
| (b) | Technical support costs decreased by approximately $2,500 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to 2006. Technical support costs declined as a result of normal fluctuations in the Company’s business requirements during the period; |
| | |
| (c) | Professional fees increased by approximately $49,000 and $63,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to 2006. This increase in professional fees relate primarily to additional legal and accounting costs associated with completing the acquisition of Royalite Corp.; |
| | |
| (d) | Filing and transfer agent fees increased by approximately $9,000 during the past three months as compared to the same period ended in 2006. The increase in these fees were related primarily to the completion of the private placement financings disclosed above and to the completion of the acquisition of Royalite Corp. |
If we are able to acquire the necessary financing, we anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase if we proceed with our Royalite business. We will not be able to proceed with these plans if we do not achieve the required financing.

We had cash on hand of $2,102,687 as at January 31, 2007, compared to cash on hand of $74,925 as at April 30, 2006. The increased cash was primarily from subscription funds received in respect of private placement offerings made during the period. We have historically been dependent on sales of our equity securities, secured convertible notes and loans from certain of our shareholders to finance our business operations. During the three months ended January 31, 2007, we completed the following private placement financings:
1. | Effective January 31, 2007, we completed an offshore private placement of 1,880,162 units at a price of $0.75 per unit to subscribers who were not “U.S. Persons” as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.85 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units. |
| |
2. | Effective January 31, 2007, we completed an additional private placement of 1,600,000 units at a price of $0.75 per unit to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.85 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units. |
| |
Since January 31, 2007, we have completed the following additional private placements: |
| |
1. | Effective February 15, 2007, we completed an offshore private placement of 460,000 units at a price of $1.50 per unit to subscribers who were not “U.S. Persons” as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $1.75 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units. |
| |
2. | Effective February 15, 2007, we completed an additional private placement of 970,033 units at a price of $1.50 per unit to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D |
10
of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $1.75 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units.
3. | Effective March 23, 2007, we completed an offshore private placement of 68,000 units at a price of $1.50 per unit to subscribers who were not “U.S. persons” as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of own share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $1.75 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units. |
| |
4. | Effective March 23, 2007, we completed an additional private placement of 964,000 units at a price of $1.50 per unit to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of own share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $1.75 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the units. |
There is no assurance that we will be able to complete additional financings in order to fund our business operations. In the past, we have also financed our business operations using loans advanced by Logan Anderson, our Chief Financial Officer and one of our directors, and by one of our former principal shareholders. The total amount of shareholders loans payable by us to Mr. Anderson and the shareholder was $21,680 as of January 31, 2007. There are no assurances that our officers, directors or shareholders will advance additional funds to us in order to finance our future business operations.
Our Worldbid Operations continue to operate at a net loss. We will continue to attempt to maintain our reduced level of operating costs relating to the Worldbid Operations while maintaining revenues from the Worldbid Operations in order to minimize our financing requirements with respect to those operations. However, our expenses are expected to increase significantly over the next twelve months as we proceed with our plan of operation for our Royalite Operations. We do not anticipate earning revenues from our Royalite Operations in the near future. Accordingly, we are still dependent on additional financing to maintain our business operations.
Credit Card Facility
We have two credit card facilities which require an aggregate security deposit of $30,000. We have deposited as security for the credit facilities $30,452. We have credit card charge-backs representing amounts that are billed by and paid by credit card where the owner of the credit card claims that the credit card was used without their authorization. In the event of a credit card charge-back, we are required to reimburse the funds advanced to us by the credit card company.
Future Financing
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing for to fund our business plan.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
None.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Revenue Recognition
We earn revenue by selling subscriptions to our service, advertising on e-mail communications to businesses using the Worldbid website services, direct advertising by businesses on our website and from data sales to consumer oriented companies. Revenue is recognized once the service or product is delivered.
Subscriptions received in advance for access to our website services are recognized as income over the period of the subscription.
Foreign Currency
These financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the operations of our wholly-owned Canadian operating subsidiary is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities measured in Canadian dollars are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet’s date with revenue and expense transactions translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Exchange gains and losses arising on this translation are excluded from the determination of operating income and reported as foreign currency translation adjustment and included in other comprehensive income (loss).
Stock Based Compensation
Effective December 15, 2005, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. In accordance with FASB No. 123, ”Share Based Payment,” on a prospective basis. Prior to December 15, 2005, we accounted for stock based employee and director compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 – “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable. At April 30, 2006 and 2005, the fair market value of these instruments approximated their
12
financial statement carrying amount due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Amounts owing to related parties are stated at their exchange values which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity and/or their market rates of interest.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R will require companies to measure all employee stock based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share based payment arrangements. We adopted SFAS No. 123R on a prospective basis on December 15, 2005. No stock options have been issued since that date.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Risks Relating to the Company
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.
Our current revenues are not sufficient to pay for our anticipated operating expenses. In addition, our cash reserves are minimal and we have a substantial working capital deficit. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to complete our business plan of operations and satisfy our present creditors. We have financed our business operations to date from sales of equity securities, secured convertible notes and loans advanced by shareholders, directors and officers. There is no assurance that we will complete any further sales of our securities. We may not be able to continue operations if additional financing is not obtained.
If we never generate operating profit, then our business will fail.
We have sustained net losses from operations since our inception. We sustained a $4,172,101 net loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2007. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We may never generate operating profits or, even if we do become profitable from operations at some point, we may be unable to sustain that profitability. We will not be able to
13
achieve operating profits until we generate substantial revenues from our business operations. Our business model is not proven and there is no assurance that we will be able to generate the revenues. If we do not realize significant revenues from our business operations, then our operating expenses will continue to exceed our revenues and we will not achieve profitability.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, then we may not be able to implement our business plan.
We depend on the services of our senior management and key technical personnel. In particular, our future success will depend on the continued efforts of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Cass and our Chief Financial Officer, Logan Anderson. The loss of the services of either of these gentlemen and the further erosion of staff could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Our common shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "RYPE.” Companies traded on the OTC Bulletin Board have traditionally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Our stock price has been increasing slightly over the past few months but at an all-time low and there is no assurance that our stock price will recover to previous levels. In addition, our stock price may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, the trading volume of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board has been limited to date. As a result of this potential volatility and potential lack of a trading market, an investor may not be able to sell any of our common stock that they acquire that a price equal or greater than the price paid by the investor.
We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case your shareholdings will be diluted.
Since our inception, we have relied on such equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, your percentage interest in us will be lower. This condition is often referred to as "dilution.” The result of this could reduce the value of our stock.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our
14
securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1. | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
2. | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws; |
3. | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
4. | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
5. | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
6. | contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
Risks Relating to Our Worldbid Operations
Financial results for our Worldbid Operations are difficult to predict and our Worldid Operations may fail.
The future financial results of our Worldbid Operations are uncertain due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors include:
1. | our ability to increase usage of the Worldbid Web Sites; |
2. | our ability to generate revenue through the sale of membership subscriptions for the Worldbid Web Sites; |
3. | our ability to sell advertising on the Worldbid web sites and the timing, cost and availability of advertising on web sites comparable to ours and over other media; |
4. | the success of our strategic alliances in generating revenues for our Worldbid Web Sites; |
5. | the amount and timing of costs relating to expansion of our operations; |
6. | the announcement or introduction of competing web sites and products of competitors; |
7. | the general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet and electronic commerce; and |
8. | with the reduction in staffing levels we no longer employ a full time person responsible for security or technical problems that may occur on the web sites. |
15
These factors could negatively impact on our financial results, with the result that our Worldbid Operations may not achieve profitability and may fail.
If we do not succeed in selling subscription fees to users of our Worldbid web sites, then we may not be able to achieve our projected revenues.
Our business and marketing strategy contemplates that we will earn the majority of our revenues from subscription fees sold to registered users of our Worldbid web sites. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate substantial revenues from subscription fees or that the revenues generated will exceed our operating costs. Businesses using our Worldbid web sites may not accept paying subscription fees for access to the Worldbid web sites and may determine not to use our Worldbid web sites rather than pay a subscription fee. Businesses may not be prepared to pay a fee in order to post requests for tenders or offers for sales on the web site or to receive e-mails of requests for tenders. If businesses are not prepared to pay a fee for the use of Worldbid web sites, then our business may fail.
If our strategic relationships for our Worldbid web sites do not provide the benefits we expect, then we may not realize significant revenues from these relationships.
We have entered into strategic relationships for the marketing of our Worldbid web sites. These include our referral agreements and our sub-site strategic alliance agreements. We anticipate the benefits from the strategic relationships will be increased usage of our Worldbid web sites, additional exposure of our brand name and subsequent increases in sales of membership subscriptions and advertising. We believe that these relationships are critical to our success because they offer us the possibility of generating additional revenues for each of our revenue streams and increasing our public recognition. However, there is no assurance that these strategic relationships will generate further revenues. Apart from one of our sub-site alliances, none of these strategic relationships guarantee us revenue. We are relying on these strategic relationships as a means for marketing of our Worldbid web sites.
If our strategic alliance agreements for our regional and industry specific sub-sites do not attract new users to our web sites, then we will not realize significant revenues from these strategic alliances.
We have entered into strategic alliance agreements with our partners for the operation of our regional and industry specific sub-sites. We are relying on these partners to market our Worldbid sub-sites and to attract business in the particular region or industry that the sub-site is focused on. There is no assurance that our partners will be successful in attracting new businesses to the Worldbid web sites or creating public recognition of our Worldbid web sites in the target market. The failure of our partners to attract new businesses and create public recognition in any target market will mean that we may not create revenues from the sub-site that exceed our costs of development and operation of the sub-site, with the result that our business and financial condition will be harmed.
If we do not succeed in generating public recognition of the Worldbid web sites, then we may not be able to attract a sufficient number of users to the Worldbid web sites in order for us to achieve profitability.
We believe that the successful marketing, development and promotion of the Worldbid web sites are critical to our success in attracting businesses and advertisers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of customer awareness will increase as low barriers to entry encourage the proliferation of web sites targeting the business to business market. If our marketing and promotion
16
efforts are not successful in developing strong public recognition of the Worldbid web sites, then we may not be able to achieve revenues and our business may fail.
If the computer systems that we depend on for the operation of the Worldbid Web Sites fail, then we may lose revenues.
Substantially all of our communications hardware and computer hardware is located at a facility in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, owned by an arms-length Internet service provider. Our systems are vulnerable to damage from earthquake, fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers are also vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, deliberate attempts by third parties to exceed the capacity of our systems and similar disruptive problems. Our coverage limits on our property and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate for all losses that may occur. If our computer systems are rendered inoperable by any of these factors, then we may not be able to operate our Worldbid web sites until the problem with our computer systems is cured. We may lose users and potential revenue if we are unable to operate our Worldbid web sites for any extended period or if we have successive periods of inoperability.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property.
Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, which include the following:
1. | the proprietary technology that is incorporated into our Worldbid web sites; |
2. | our trade names; and |
3. | our Internet domain names, the vast majority of which relate to our Worldbid brand. |
We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights, and our inability or failure to do so could result in loss of competitive and commercial advantages that we hold. Additionally, we may choose to litigate to protect our intellectual property rights, which could result in a significant cost of resources and money. We cannot assure success in any such litigation that we might undertake.
Risks Relating to Our Royalite Operations
We have no proven reserves or current production and may never have any.
We do not have any proven reserves or current production of oil or gas. There are no assurances that any wells will be completed or, if completed, that such wells will produce oil or gas in commercially profitable quantities.
If we do not find any oil or gas reserves or if we cannot complete the exploration of the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because we will not be economically feasible to do it, we may have to cease operations. Oil and gas exploration is a highly speculative endeavor. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find oil and gas reserves on our properties our ability to put those reserves into production is subject to further risks including:
1. | costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for; |
2. | availability and costs of financing; |
17
3. | ongoing costs of production; and |
4. | environmental compliance regulations and restraints. |
The marketability of any oil and gas deposits acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of drilling equipment near our oil and gas properties, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable drilling, production, importing and exporting of oil and gas deposits, and environmental protection.
Our Royalite Operations are in the exploration stage with a limited operating history, which may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives.
Our Royalite Operations are in the exploration stage with only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our future prospects. We acquired Royalite Corp. on February 28, 2007 and we do not have an established history of locating and developing properties that have oil and gas reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our Royalite Operations is unproven. In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations will be subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
In addition, in the event that we commence production, of which there are no assurances, market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and gas markets and delay production. The availability of a ready market for our prospective oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. A failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
18
The future performance of our business will depend upon an ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Success will depend upon the ability to acquire working and revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and the ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition and exploration activities, we will not be able to develop oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances oil and gas reserves will be identified or acquired on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of any reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploration and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
The geographic concentration of all of our properties in the Utah Hingeline Trend may subject us to an increased risk of loss of revenue or curtailment of production from factors affecting that area.
The geographic concentration of all of our leasehold interests in the Utah Hingeline Trend means all of our properties could be affected by the same event should the region experience severe weather; delays or decreases in production; an unavailability of equipment, facilities or services; delays or decreases in the availability of capacity to transport, gather or process production; or changes in the regulatory environment.
The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
| (a) | weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere; |
| (b) | economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States and elsewhere; |
| (c) | actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; |
| (d) | political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions; |
| (e) | governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign; |
| (f) | domestic and foreign tax policy; |
| (g) | the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves; |
| (h) | the price of foreign imports of oil and gas; |
| (i) | the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas; the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves; |
| (j) | the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves; |
| (k) | available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity; |
| (l) | the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital; |
19
| (m) | the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and |
| (n) | the availability of alternate fuel sources. |
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. We do not currently engage in any hedging program to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. Commodity prices are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and gas prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.
The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oil field services could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget.
Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect our exploration and development operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Since our operations and properties are concentrated in the Utah Hingeline Trend, we could be materially and adversely affected if drilling rigs are unavailable or cost of rigs, equipment supplies or personnel increase significantly over current costs.
We may be unable to retain our leases and working interests in leases, which would result in significant financial losses.
Our properties are held under oil and gas leases. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease, such lease may terminate or expire. There are no assurances the obligations required to maintain those leases will be met. The termination or expiration of our leases may harm our
20
business. Our property interests will terminate unless we fulfill certain obligations under the terms of our leases and other agreements related to such properties. If we are unable to satisfy these conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in these properties. The termination of our interests in these properties may harm our business. In addition, we will need significant funds to meet capital requirements for the exploration activities that we intend to conduct on our properties.
Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless.
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. It is our practice in acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases to forgo the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease specific oil or gas interest. This is customary practice in the oil and gas industry. However, we do not anticipate that we, or the person or company acting as operator of the wells located on the properties that we currently lease or may lease in the future, will obtain counsel to examine title to the lease until the well is about to be drilled. As a result, we may be unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such deficiencies could render the lease worthless.
If we fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. Therefore, we do not plan to acquire our own insurance coverage for such prospects. The occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that is not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact an prospective production.
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full
21
potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur, resulting in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than it does, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon its ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
