Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2005 as reported in Form 10-KSB have been omitted.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Terax Energy, Inc. (“the Company”) for the period ended June 30, 2005 and notes thereto included in Company’s Form 10-KSB.
Note 2 – Stockholders' Equity
Sale of Securities
From August 8, 2005 through September 14, 2005, the Company issued 739,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $7,390,000. Each Unit consists of eight shares of the Company’s common stock and four non-transferable share purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of $1.75 per share, subject to acceleration upon certain conditions. The value of the warrants, using the Black Scholes method of calculation, was $1,192,608. In addition, the Company incurred fees totaling $285,000 in connection with the offering.
With respect to Units discussed above, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before March 14, 2006 to register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issuable upon exercise of the warrants. In addition, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after filing. The Company filed the registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2006. In the event the registration statement is not declared effective, the Company is not obligated to pay any liquidated damages and there are no requirements to settle in cash if the Company cannot deliver registered shares.
The Company evaluated the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” for the units issued. Based on the guidance of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the 739,000 Unites were properly classified as equity instruments and were not required to be accounted for as derivatives.
On February 7, 2006, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements to sell to four institutional investors an aggregate of 12,805,600 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 12,805,600 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $16,007,000. The unit purchase price of the common stock and corresponding warrant was $1.25. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.50 per share and expire on February 6, 2011. The Company has the right to require exercise of all of the warrants in the event that (i) a registration statement registering the resale of the warrants is then in effect and (ii) the volume weighted average trading price per share of the Company’s common stock for each of the previous thirty trading days is in excess of $2.50.
The aggregate commissions paid in connection with the February 7, 2006 private placement were approximately $862,120. In addition, warrants to purchase 574,120 shares of common stock, identical to those sold to the investors, except with an exercise price of $1.25 per share were issued to the placement agent. The pricing of the securities was agreed to with the lead institutional buyer in early January 2006 when the Company’s stock was trading in the $1.75 range and represents an approximate 30% discount to the market price at that time. The fair value of the warrants, as determined using the Black Scholes pricing model, issued to the placement agent was $1,198,353 and was recorded as an equity issuance cost and is reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction to paid-in capital.
With respect to February 7, 2006 private placement, the Company also entered into registration rights agreements with the investors to register the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company is required to file the registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the closing, to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) within 60 days following the closing date of the offering, or 120 days following the closing of the offering if the registration statement is reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event the registration statement is not filed or declared effective when due, the Company is obligated to pay the investors liquidated damages in the amount of 1.5% of the purchase price for each month in which the Company is in default. See Form 8-K filed on February 7, for a more detailed explanation of the transaction.

The Company is accounting for the warrants associated with the sale of its common stock in the February 7, 2006 private placement, in accordance with SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock”. The accounting treatment of these derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives at their fair values as of the date of the sale of the common stock and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date as a liability. At February 7, 2006 the proceeds were allocated between the common stock and the warrants. The allocation was based on the value of the common stock issued utilizing the closing price of the common stock on February 7, 2006 and the fair market value of the warrants as determined using the Black Scholes pricing model. The proceeds were allocated $7,099,291, to the fair value of the warrants and recorded as a liability, and the remaining $8,907,709 was allocated to the common stock. The allocated value of the common stock was recorded as $8,894,903 in additional paid in capital, and $12,806 in common stock. The Company is required to record the unrealized changes in fair value in subsequent periods as an adjustment to the current liability with unrealized changes in the fair value of the derivative reflected in the statement of operations as “(gain)/loss on derivative liabilities”.. The Company estimates fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the use of estimates such as the expected holding period, the expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock and the risk-free rate of return over the holding period. These estimates directly affect the reported amounts of the derivative instrument liabilities. The fair value of the warrants at February 7, 2006, was $27,045,484. The excess of the fair value of the warrants over the allocated purchase price was $19,946,193, of which $1,198,353 representing the fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent was recorded as an equity issuance cost and is reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction to the paid in capital and the remaining $18,747,840 was recorded in the statement of operations as a loss on derivative liability. The significant assumptions used in the valuation were: the exercise price as noted above; Terax’s common stock price on February 7, 2006, which was $2.65; expected volatility of 79.92%; risk free interest rate of approximately 4.5%, and a term of 5 years. At March 31, 2006 the fair value of the warrants was again determined utilizing the Black Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the warrants at March 31, 2006 was $21,413,629. The significant assumptions used in the valuation were: the exercise price as noted above; Terax’s common stock price on March 31, 2006, which was $2.20; expected volatility of 79.35%; risk free interest rate of approximately 4.8%, and a term of four years and eight months. The resulting unrealized change in fair value of $5,631,855 from February 7, 2006 to March 31, 2006 was recorded in the statement of operations as a gain on derivative liability resulting in a net loss on derivative liability for the period of $13,115,985.
On February 2, 2006 the Company and certain current and former directors, officers and agents of the Company entered into a Master Compromise and Settlement Agreement with J. William Rhea, IV pursuant to which the parties resolved all outstanding claims between them. As part of the resolution, 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Mr. Rhea. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Rhea $800,000 on account of compensation due to him under his employment agreement with the Company.

On June 7, 2005, Mr. Rhea and Mr. Chester returned, without consideration, 5,000,000 and 500,000 shares, respectively, to the treasury pursuant to a Management Stock Pool Agreement which is discussed below.
On June 13, 2005,,to facilitate our private placement offering, discussed below, Mr. Chester agreed to cancel 99,650,000 shares held by him. There were no additional terms with respect to such Mr. Chester’s agreement to cancel the 99,650,000 shares.

On November 10, 2005, Mr. Rhea was terminated for cause and was removed as officer and director of the Company. As provided for in the Management Group Stock Agreement, Mr. Rhea’s termination resulted in forfeiture to earn 5,000,000 shares under the plan.

Overview and Outlook
We are an oil and gas exploration, development and production company. Our properties are located in the Fort Worth Basin. Our corporate strategy is to continue building value in the Company through the development and acquisition of gas and oil assets that exhibit consistent, predictable, and long-lived production. Our current focus is exploring the gas reserves located in the Barnett Shale formations of the Fort Worth Basin.
We have consolidated mineral lease positions in both Erath and Comanche counties. Our current focus is on the development and production of our Erath County properties. However, we have begun the
12
evaluation process of our Comanche County properties and expect to develop strategy for those leases and the value in them, in the second half of 2006.
We intend to continue seeking acquisition opportunities which compliment our current focus. We intend to fund our development activity primarily through proceeds from various private placements sufficient enough to evaluate a greater portion of our mineral leases.
Our revenue, profitability, and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, such as economic, political, and regulatory developments and competition from other sources of energy. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and may fluctuate widely in the future. Sustained periods of low prices for oil or natural gas could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce and our access to capital.

Additionally, a loss on derivative liability of $13,115,985 was recognized in the third quarter of 2006, as is fully described and referenced in Note 2, Stockholder’s Equity.
Operation Plan
During the next twelve months we plan to continue to focus our efforts on the current business plan, which is the sustained development of our existing properties. The Company may consider pursuing strategic acquisitions of producing properties and additional oil and gas leases provided we have access to capital resources which will not interfere with continued evaluation and development of our existing assets.
We intend to fund our field operations and development program through a combination of equity financing, proceeds of anticipated exercise of warrants and options and the use of commercial or mezzanine debt as necessary to complete our business plan. Our strategy is to seek financing alternatives which will yield the lowest cost of capital while maintaining the flexibility necessary to fully realize the value in our own oil and gas leased acreage holdings. Before the Company can seek strategic acquisitions of additional leases, producing properties, or acquisition of other companies, the Company must first develop its existing properties to the stage which they can sustain their own development or develop financing alternatives which will not hinder the development of its current assets.
Our future financial results will depend primarily on: (i) the ability to produce gas and oil from existing and future wells; (ii) the ability to discover commercial quantities of natural gas and oil; (iii) the market price for oil and gas; and (iv) the ability to fully implement our exploration and development program, which is dependent on the availability of capital resources. In order to be successful in all or any of these respects, the prices of oil and gas prevailing at the time of production must be at a level allowing for profitable production, and we must be able to obtain additional funding to increase our capital resources.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There is limited historical financial information about our Company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues from operations.
Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to continue obtain the capital necessary to develop our existing assets, and the generation of revenue from our current assets. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our development efforts. If we are not able to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows or obtain additional or alternative funding, we will be unable to continue as a going concern.
At March 31, 2006 we had current assets of $3,047,595 and current liabilities of $23,983,665 for a negative net working capital of $20,936,070. The net working capital would be positive $447,559 net of the derivative liability $21,413,629. We will need additional working capital to complete our first six wells and complete the gathering system in order to begin production on all six wells. We completed our first well in March 2006 and have been selling some gas in April while the well continued to unload its fracture stimulation water. If we secure sufficient capital we may have all six wells on production in June 2006. We will need to obtain additional funds to supplement our expected revenues from the first six wells
16
in order to continue the implementation of our planned exploration and development programs on our existing properties over the next twelve months. Furthermore, should the pace of our acquisitions and/or drilling activities differ from our current plans, we may require additional capital sooner. Failure to obtain such additional financing will result in our inability to accelerate the planned exploration programs on our properties or to acquire additional properties. Should the pace of our acquisitions and/or drilling activities differ from our current plans, we may require additional capital sooner. Failure to obtain such additional financing will result in our inability to accelerate the planned exploration programs on our properties or to acquire additional properties. We have no agreements or understandings with any person for additional financing.
Cash Flows
Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing and the issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we continue our development activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of sales or development fees, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
Our oil and gas properties do not have any commercial production. We have no history of earnings or cash flow from our operations. A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to efficiently manage the costs associated with exploratory drilling efforts, our ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and JV or WI partnerships will also be important to our expansion plans. In the event we experience any significant problems assimilating acquired assets into our operations or cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
We will need additional capital to proceed with the current phase of our operations and the continued field development of our Erath County properties
Over the next twelve months, our existing capital combined with cash flow from operations will be not be sufficient to sustain operations and our planned expansion.
We may incur operating losses over the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development and production, particularly companies in the oil and gas industry. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
All of the leases purchased by the Company are paid up oil and gas leases which do not require future payments. If we begin production of oil or natural gas on a lease before the end of the primary lease term, we may retain that lease without additional cost. If production is established, we are required to pay the leaseholder a portion of the oil or gas production as “royalty payments” which range from 16.66% to 21.5%. If production is not established during the primary term of the lease, in most cases, we have the right but not the obligation to extend the lease for an additional 2 years by making an addition lump sum payment to the leaseholder, as provided for in each lease. If oil and gas production is not established within the additional two years period, the lease is returned to the leaseholder and we have no additional rights to the lease.
The following table summarizes the maximum additional lease option payments by quarter that would be required to be made by the Company if it was to choose to extend the leases by making these additional payments.

As of March 31, 2006, we had assets of $23,776,802, and $23,983,665 in current liabilities; resulting in a stockholders’ deficit of $(206,863).
Field Development
Our original plan of operation for field development started with identifying the most promising and cost-effective drill sites on our current leased acres, drilling and testing wells to prove reserves, completing the more promising test wells, extracting the gas, oil and other hydrocarbons that we find, and delivering them to market. We believe that we have leased enough land to move forward with our field development and are proceeding with the next phase of our operations, which is field development.
In the field development stages of our plan, each new well will be drilled and tested individually. The well, upon a favorable evaluation of its producing capabilities, will be fully completed and connected to local gas gathering and water disposal pipelines.
When we have identified a proposed drilling site, we as a licensed operator in the State of Texas, will be engaged in all aspects of well site operations. As the operator we will be responsible for permitting the well, which will include obtaining permission from the Texas Oil and Gas commission relative to spacing requirements and any other state and federal environmental clearances required at the time that the permitting process commences. Additionally, we will formulate and deliver to all interest owners an operating agreement establishing each participant’s rights and obligations in that particular well based on the location of the well and the ownership. In addition to the permitting process, we as the operator will be responsible for hiring the driller, geologist, and land men to make final decisions relative to the zones to be targeted, confirming that we have good title to each leased parcel covered by the spacing permit and to actually drill the well to the target zones. We will be responsible for completing each successful well and connecting it to the most appropriate portion of our gas gathering system.
As the operator we will be the caretaker of the well once production has commenced. As the operator, we will be responsible for paying bills related to the well, billing working interest owners for their proportionate expenses in drilling and completing the well, and selling the production from the well. Once the production has been sold, the Company will have legal council determine ownership of that production and will send out a division order to confirm the nature and amount of each interest owned by each interest owner. Once a division order has been established and confirmed by the interest owners, the Company will issue the checks to each interest owner in accordance with its appropriate interest. From that point forward, we as operator will be responsible for maintaining the well and the wellhead site during the entire term of the production or until such time as we have been replaced or the site appropriately abandoned.
Significant changes in the number of employees.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2006 there were no significant changes in the number of employees. We currently have 4 employees and 6 full-time consultants.
Our proposed personnel structure could be divided into three broad categories: management and professional, administrative, and project field personnel. As in most small companies, the divisions between these three categories are somewhat indistinct, as employees are engaged in various functions as projects and work loads demand.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
18
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our financial statements. The preparation of these statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, weather, politics, global economics, mechanical problems, general business conditions, and other factors. Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 to our financial statements included in this Annual Report. We have outlined below certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by our management.
Revenue Recognition
It is our policy to recognize revenue when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price.
Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
We account for our oil and natural gas operations using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and cost of drilling and equipping productive wells. In the event we do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed. All of our properties are located within the continental United States.
Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Quantities
Reserve quantities and the related estimates of future net cash flows affect our periodic calculations of depletion and impairment of our oil and natural gas properties. Proved oil and natural gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future periods from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Reserve quantities and future cash flows included in the Form 10-KSB are prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC and FASB.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our system of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act, Rule 13a- 15(e) an 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and, Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Subsequent to the end of the period covered by this report, the Company implemented additional procedures to require two signatures on all checks over $5,000. |

b) | Change in Internal controls:There were changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.
