Notes to the Financial Statements | |||
(unaudited - Prepared by Management) | |||
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 | |
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company's business focus is the acquisition of suitable oil and gas properties to explore for oil and gas. The operations of the Company's subsidiary for the exploration of New Zealand oil and gas properties was discontinued during the 2003 fiscal year based on managements decision that the subsidiary had limited prospects, at that time, for developing profitable operations. The Company's business focus is the acquisition of suitable oil and gas properties to explore.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. They do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $2,812,898 and Stockholders' Equity of $22,977 at December 31, 2004. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to be able to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company and the realization of its asset values will depend upon the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing and continuing support from shareholders and creditors to attain profitable operations.
The Company is a development stage enterprise and is required to identify that these financial statements are those of a development stage enterprise in accordance with paragraph 12 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 and is focusing on acquiring suitable international oil and gas properties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-QSB includes certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this Form 10-QSB, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including operating costs, future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), and other such matters are forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Because our stock is a penny stock, each time we refer to the Litigation Reform Act, the safe harbor does not apply.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include: the change of business focus; inability to complete an acquisition of suitable oil and gas properties; continued availability of capital and financing; general economic, market or business conditions; acquisition opportunities or lack of opportunities; changes in laws or regulations; risk factors listed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and other factors.
Our Company was incorporated on February 20, 1997 under the name Trans New Zealand Oil Company by filing our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State in Nevada. We changed our name to AMG Oil Ltd. on July 27, 1998. We are a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada based company focused on acquiring suitable international oil and gas properties, specifically in New Zealand.
The Company does not receive any revenue from its operations and is in a start-up phase and has no significant assets, tangible or intangible, other than the opportunity to acquire potentially suitable international oil and gas properties for exploration. The Company has no history of earnings and there is no assurance that the business of the Company will be profitable. As at the Company's three-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,812,898 and the Company is expected to continue incurring operating losses and accumulating deficits in future periods. The Company has no significant future obligations or expected changes with respect to any of its assets.
Currently our only significant asset is cash.
We currently have ongoing obligations with respect to our corporate operations and we expect to need to place additional equity securities with investors, in order to raise the capital required for our ongoing activities until such time that we can generate revenues from operations.
There can be no assurance that we will earn revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment to our security holders. We now propose to derive all of our revenue from the intended acquisition of suitable international oil and gas properties.
Employees and Consultants
The Registrant has no employees, with the exception of our Corporate Officer, Mr. Michael Hart, and has not retained the services of any consultants.
The Registrant receives corporate services from DLJ Management Corp., a subsidiary of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd., based on an oral agreement. The services consist of shareholder relations and communications, administrative and accounting support. DLJ Management Corp. provides their services on an hourly basis.
DLJ Management Corp. bills monthly for its services on a cost recovery basis, billing the Registrant and other associated companies for costs already incurred with no mark-up or other such charges, for items such as labor and rent, office costs, and employee benefits.
Office and Properties
The Registrant's administrative offices are located at 1407-1050 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6Z 2S3 and our telephone number is (604) 682-6496. The Registrant utilizes the office space, on a rent-free basis, per a verbal agreement, from affiliated companies Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. and TAG Oil Ltd.
We currently have no revenue producing assets and at present. Our sole assets at December 31, 2004 were cash and investments in related parties.
Results of Operations
During the first three months of the current fiscal year, our activities focused on acquiring suitable international oil and gas properties for exploration and development.
We did not generate any revenues from operations during the three months ended December 31, 2004, or during the comparable period. Our sole revenue during the period was $91 in interest income earned on surplus cash balances, compared to $131 for the three months ended December 31, 2003.
Our total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2004 were $6,025 compared to $10,775 for the comparable period last year. For the current period ended December 31, 2004 there were salaries of $3,221 compared to $2,778 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and professional fees were $237, versus $5,199 last year. The balance of our general and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2004 consisted of office expenses of $938, telephone expenses of $556, filing fees of $768, a gain on foreign exchange of $144 and other miscellaneous expenses such as database management, travel and related costs and amortization of capital assets totaling $449.
As a result of these transactions noted above, we incurred a loss of $5,934 or $0.00 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to a loss of $10,644 for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 we did not have any financing or investing activities.
At December 31, 2004 our current assets totaled $17,265 compared to $22,407 at the beginning of the fiscal year, or $52,242 for the comparable period at December 31, 2003. Our current assets consist of $17,265 in cash. Our current liabilities at December 31, 2004 were $6,827, of which $1,632 was due to a related party for administrative costs. Cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.
We believe our existing cash balances are sufficient to carry out our normal operations for the next twelve months. However additional cash is required for the acquisition of suitable oil and gas interests during this period and to be able to meet the permits working program costs. To the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may sell additional equity or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to our company or on acceptable terms.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncement since the filing of the Company's FORM 10-KSB, filed on December 27, 2004.
