(B) DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005 the Company had royalty revenues of $1,640, which were received from its working interest in the Strachan property. The Company has not added any further working interests in oil and gas producing properties during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. All the Company’s properties are geologically and physically independent of one another. They are all located in the Western Canadian Geologic Basin centred in Alberta, Canada.
The Strachan Property
On August 20, 2003, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 1% interest in a producing gas well, located at 2-2-38-9W5 Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. The gas production rate at the time of the acquisition fluctuated between 1.5 and 2 MMCF/Day (million cubic feet of gas per day). The Company’s senior management has set out a rework program for this well. The rework program calls for an acid wash and acid stimulation of the producing formation. The Company has agreed to participate in the program. The program was completed on October 15, 2003 and as of October 20, 2003, the new production rates have stabilized at 2.66 MMCF/Day, representing a 40% increase over initial production rates.
In addition to the preceding acquisition, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 0.5% interest in 10 Sections (6,400 acres) of drilling rights offsetting Sct. 22-38-9W-5. These offsetting sections have identified seismic anomalies in multiple cretaceous pay zones. The purchase price of the property was $45,114
During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company received $1,640 in oil and gas fees from this property.
The Karr Property
On September 29, 2003, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 10% of a cased gas-well in the northwest of Alberta. The Company will earn 8% before initial payout (BPO) of its investment and 4% after the initial (APO) investment has been paid. The well was drilled in 1999 by Poco Petroleums and ceased after initial testing. Burlington Resources acquired Poco Petroleums.
Following negotiations with Burlington the lease was assigned to another operator in consideration of a gross overriding royalty and the new operator has prepared a re-completion program to be carried out prior to the expiration of the lease. This re-completion work is entering phase 2 which is to equip the well with full production facilities. The gross estimated cost of these facilities is $250,000 Canadian. The 10% participation will earn 8% BPO and 4% APO. The purchase price of the property was $44,430.
Following extensive internal reviews by the Company, Management decided to exit from this property due to the uncertainty of the economic recovery of the ongoing costs of participation and the costs already incurred on this project. The costs of exiting from this property were $4,480.
The Turner Valley Project
On October 10, 2003, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 10% of a cased gas-well south west of Calgary. The Company will earn 10% after the initial investment has been paid (APO). The gas well was drilled in 1969 by Shell Oil for deep oil potential in the Turner Valley Formation (drill depth 10,803 feet). An oil pay zone was encountered but watered out after 5 years of production and was subsequently abandoned by Shell Oil. The Company has a 7.5% working interest in 7 sections (4480 acres) of offset land. The purchase price of this property was $18,427.
Following extensive any internal reviews by the Company, Management decided to exit from this property due to the uncertainty of the economic recovery of the ongoing costs of participation and the costs already incurred on this project. The costs of exiting from this property were $3,734.
Triangle Lands
On November 28, 2003, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 25% interest in leases containing 9287 gross acres (5350 net acres) within 17 sections of land extending along a regional structural trend in the southwest Alberta Foothills Belt for approximately 30 miles. Based on geologic and seismic surveys, the leases are located on Triangle shaped structures that have prospective gas reserves. Acquisition of this property amounted to $192,700.
The Company is currently engaged in a significant independent evaluation being conducted by a very prominent Oil and Gas Evaluation Firm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is expected that this confidential report will be available to the company in early April 2004 and the Company will be making its drilling intentions public soon thereafter. Our internal evaluations indicate significant potential for Turner Valley Oil and Gas and it is Management’s position that it intends to focus the Company’s attention on this area. There will be a substantial requirement for the Company to capitalize a drilling program in the second Quarter of 2004, should the Company proceed with the proposed exploration plans. The Company expects to announce its intentions regarding this financing plan, next following the completion of Management’s internal reviews of all data currently being assessed.
General and administrative costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 94% to $18,355, when compared to $315,653, for the same period last year. The decreases in costs were caused by a reduction in services provided by legal and accounting professionals.
Liquidity
The Company’s net working capital for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was a negative $(12,583), compared to $9,095 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in working capital was due to costs associated with abandonment of oil and gas properties and costs relating to the operations of the Company..
To date, we have not invested in derivative securities or any other financial instruments that involve a high level of complexity or risk. We expect that in the future, any excess cash will continue to be invested in high credit quality, interest-bearing securities.
We believe cash from operating activities, and our existing cash resources may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We will likely require additional funds to support the Company’s business plan. Management intends to raise additional working capital through debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail operations.
There are no legal or practical restrictions on the ability to transfer funds between parent and subsidiary companies.
There are no known trends or uncertainties excepting those herein disclosed, that will have a material impact on revenues.
