PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus . This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you in considering an investment in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “Tekoil,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Tekoil & Gas Corporation.
THE COMPANY
Tekoil & Gas Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on January 2, 2002, under the name “Trailridge Holdings, Inc.” On April 6, 2004, the Company changed its name to “Glow Bench Systems International, Inc.” and on December 14, 2004, it changed its name to “Pexcon, Inc.” The Company is an exploration stage oil and gas enterprise focused on the acquisition, stimulation, rehabilitation and asset improvement of small to medium sized manageable oil and gas fields throughout North America.
Business Strategy
Our overall goal is to maximize our value through profitable growth by acquiring oil and gas reserves and production, with a firm philosophy of utilizing the latest, state of the art oil and gas technology in our drilling operations. Our current and ongoing strategy is to (a) acquire producing oil and gas properties with significant upside potential at favorable prices, (b) focus on exploration and development activities to maximize production and ultimate reserve recovery on existing properties, (c) explore undeveloped properties, (d) maintain a low cost structure, and (e) maintain financial flexibility.
Masters Acquisition
As of May 11, 2007, a subsidiary owned by the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co. closed the Masters Acquisition and related loan described in “Business—Recent Developments” hereof in Galveston Bay, Texas, including 34 producing oil and gas wells, 24,261 gross acres as well as related transportation and processing infrastructure. The acquisition was accomplished through an acquisition subsidiary owned 75% by the Company and 25% by Goldman, Sachs & Co., which also arranged the $30 million in funded mortgage debt secured by the properties.
Western Newfoundland Prospect Development
After assembling the technical team in August 2005 and confirming the significant hydrocarbon potential that exists in the area of the Port au Port Peninsula of Western Newfoundland, we set certain objectives for the November 2005 to December 2006 time period. To date, we have achieved the following objectives:
| · | The exploration and development plan is complete. |
| · | We have developed a significant network of contacts in Newfoundland and have established a Newfoundland subsidiary and an office in St. John’s, Newfoundland. |
| · | We have met with relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Natural Resources, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board, the Department of Environment and Conservation, Environment Canada, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, as well as the Fish, Food and Allied Workers Union. |
| · | We have made significant progress towards obtaining environmental approvals for an exploration license to conduct the 3D seismic survey over the onshore prospects. |
Onshore Rig Construction
High market demand has made it very difficult to contract drill rigs from oil producing centers to undertake drilling in frontier areas. To ensure access to a drilling rig for our Newfoundland exploration activities, we have investigated purchasing one or more older, unused units, and refurbishing them to present-day standards. Refurbishment involves complete rebuilding/replacement of the mechanical, electrical and instrumentation systems.
According to our consultant, given current market conditions and the expectation that high market demand will continue, the resale value of a refurbished unit one year from now would likely be in the range of $18 million to $25 million. That would provide an $8 million to $15 million margin. Because of this significant margin, we could have an opportunity to generate profits from ongoing rig refurbishments, through development of an extended work experience program with a Newfoundland technical college.
The cost and difficulty of procuring a rig is a common problem for all oil companies operating in Atlantic Canada. With a rig in the area, we could contract to drill on non-competitive lands at a cost effective rate, relative to drilling contractors located in Western Canada, the US or international locations.
An existing port with direct access to/from the college fabrication facilities enables freighter transport of rigs. Ready transportation access to/from Newfoundland to oil producing regions around the globe could, in combination with the aforementioned labor cost advantages, enable development of an ongoing commercial operation that supports government development initiatives for the region.
We are currently pursuing the rig refurbishing business opportunity on several levels as follows:
| · | Scouting for suitable rigs and rig components to ship to Newfoundland. |
| · | Negotiation with interested oil companies for the pre-purchase of the initial batch of rigs. |
| · | Establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Newfoundland, to handle the refurbishment business. |
| · | Securing key personnel under long-term contracts. |
| · | A site tour to inventory the college facilities and identify any additional equipment that will need to be purchased. |
| · | Ongoing negotiations with the technical college to better define the training program and the business relationship with the college. |
Employees
As of May 25, 2007, we had six employees, of which five were full time employees.
THE OFFERING
This prospectus relates to an aggregate of up to 43,345,375 shares of our common stock which may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share. As of May 25, 2007, 36,894,175 shares of common stock were outstanding. Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “TKGN.” The closing sales price for our common stock on May 25, 2007 was $2.30 per share, as reported on the Pink Sheets.
Investing in shares of our common stock involves a great deal of risk. Therefore, you should carefully consider the information set forth in this prospectus and, in particular, the specific information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 4 of this prospectus before deciding whether or not to invest in shares of our common stock.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before deciding to purchase any shares of our Common Stock.
Tekoil's independent accountants have expressed substantial doubts about Tekoil's ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of Tekoil's independent accountants contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubts about Tekoil's ability to continue as a going concern due to the fact that Tekoil has incurred losses since inception. There can be no assurance that Tekoil will ever achieve significant revenues or profitable operations.
Tekoil is a development stage company and has no operating history on which to base an evaluation of its current business and future prospects.
Tekoil is a development stage company. As a result, it has no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its current business and future prospects. We have not generated substantial revenues. Moreover, we do not currently have any contracts in place that will provide any significant revenue. Because of our lack of an operating history, management has limited insight into trends that may emerge and could materially adversely affect our business. Prospective investors should consider the risks and difficulties our Company may encounter, especially given our lack of operating history. These risks include our ability to:
| · | successfully execute our business strategy; |
| · | compete favorably in a highly competitive market; |
| · | access sufficient capital to support growth; and |
| · | recruit and retain qualified employees. |
We have a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Since inception through March 31, 2007, we have incurred cumulative losses of approximately $6,058,000 and have never generated enough funds through our operations to support our business. We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses at least through April 30, 2007. Our losses to date have resulted principally from legal and accounting fees in connection with securities filings, engineering and consulting expenses related to the 3D seismic survey in western Newfoundland and salaries and related travel expenses.
We are currently unprofitable and may never become profitable. Since inception, we have funded our business activities primarily from private placements of equity and debt securities and short term loans from Mark S. Western, our President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of our substantial expenditures and absence of revenues, we have incurred substantial net losses. There can be no assurance that Tekoil will ever achieve profitable operations.
The conversion of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.
As of May 25, 2007, the Company had outstanding 1,962,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, or automatically upon the occurrence of certain material corporate events, into three shares of Common Stock. The conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the sale in the public market of the shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion will be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. The Board of Directors intends to effect the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Our shareholders may suffer significant dilution as a result of contemplated capital raising activities and the failure to raise substantial additional capital to fund operations could force the Company to delay, reduce or eliminate its products and services.
In order to implement our business plan, we will require at least $60 million in additional capital financing and we will not be able to continue our operations without fresh injection of capital within the next nine months. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it or at all. Failure to obtain necessary financing could delay or force the Company to scale back or discontinue its products and services, which could have a material negative impact on its results of operations. To the extent Tekoil is able to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, such issuance will be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Exploration of oil and gas is highly speculative and involves a great deal of risk.
Companies engaged in oil and gas exploration are often required to perform expensive geological and/or seismic surveys with respect to their properties. Even if the results of such surveys are favorable, only subsequent drilling at substantial cost can determine whether the commercial development of properties is feasible. Oil and gas drilling is frequently marked by unprofitable efforts, not only from unproductive prospects, but also from productive prospects that do not produce sufficient amounts to return a profit on the investment. There can be no assurance that Tekoil will be able to discover, develop or produce sufficient reserves to recover the expenses incurred in connection with the exploration of its properties and achieve profitability.
We will have to expend significant amounts in connection with our evaluation of potential oil reserves and there can be no assurance that these efforts will result the identification of viable resources.
We expect 3D seismic surveys to cost approximately $20.5 million in Newfoundland and approximately $1.5 million for the evaluation of Galveston Bay reserves. We have expended $1.2 million in risk capital for the evaluation of these areas, including the costs for the studies for the projected costs of 3D seismic work and environmental impact studies. However, there can be no assurance that these surveys will successfully identify viable oil reserves or whether these reserves, if identified, can be successfully developed by the Company.
We do not currently own the leases to the Newfoundland properties in which we have an interest in exploring.
Canadian Imperial Venture Corp. was issued a lease for the area in which we are interested, and that lease was due to expire on August 13, 2006. A lease confers to the lessee the exclusive right to develop and produce a petroleum pool in the lease area. A lease has an initial term of 10 years, subject to five (5) year renewals for those areas still in production or necessary for production. On June 28, 2006, Canadian Imperial issued a press release announcing that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador had extended the onshore lease for an additional year. We are not aware of the conditions placed upon the lease extension by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, but Canadian Imperial announced on August 15, 2006, that it had met certain financial commitments for the lease extension, specifically referencing work plans and work deposits submitted to the Department of Natural Resources.
Based upon our discussions with government officials, we believe that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is imposing stricter requirements on leaseholders regarding investment in leased areas and progress toward production, as suggested by the speech delivered at the Atlantic Canada Oil and Gas Summit on May 30, 2005, by Premier Danny Williams. However, we do not know whether or not Canadian Imperial will be able to continue to meet government requirements for its lease extension, so there is a substantial risk that we may not receive approval for application for an exploration license. It is possible that Canadian Imperial will meet all government requirements for continued extension of the lease, preventing us from having access to this specific area. In addition, even if Canadian Imperial’s lease were terminated, there is no guarantee that, if we receive approval of our exploration license for the 3D seismic survey, we will automatically be approved as the new holder/owner of the lease. Failure to obtain the licenses and/or leasehold interests discussed above could have a negative impact on our operations.
Our oil and gas activities are subject to various risks which are beyond our control.
Our operations are subject to many risks and hazards incident to exploring and drilling for, producing, transporting, marketing and selling oil and gas. Although we may take precautionary measures, many of these risks and hazards are beyond our control and unavoidable under the circumstances. Many of these risks or hazards could materially and adversely affect our revenues and expenses, the ability of certain of our wells to produce oil and gas in commercial quantities, the rate of production and the economics of the development of, and our investment in the prospects in which we have or will acquire an interest. Any of these risks and hazards could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such risks and hazards include:
| · | human error, accidents, labor force and other factors beyond our control that may cause personal injuries or death to persons and destruction or damage to equipment and facilities; |
| · | blowouts, fires, hurricanes, pollution and equipment failures that may result in damage to or destruction of wells, producing formations, production facilities and equipment; |
| · | unavailability of materials and equipment; |
| · | engineering and construction delays; |
| · | unanticipated transportation costs and delays; |
| · | unfavorable weather conditions; |
| · | hazards resulting from unusual or unexpected geological or environmental conditions; |
| · | environmental regulations and requirements; |
| · | accidental leakage of toxic or hazardous materials, such as petroleum liquids or drilling fluids, into the environment; |
| · | changes in laws and regulations, including laws and regulations applicable to oil and gas activities or markets for the oil and gas produced; |
| · | fluctuations in supply and demand for oil and gas causing variations of the prices we receive for our oil and gas production; and |
| · | the internal and political decisions of OPEC and oil and natural gas producing nations and their impact upon oil and gas prices. |
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.
The Properties recently acquired in the Masters Acquisition, described in “Business—Recent Developments” are located in offshore waters, where operating conditions and maintenance activities are difficult and expensive and the regulatory environment is intense.
The covenants and warranties in the financing transaction pursuant to which such Properties were pledged are complex and extensive. Failure by us or the Acquisition Subsidiary to satisfy any such obligation could jeopardize title to the Properties and related cash flows and result in a demand on the Company of its guarantee of the same.
Our industry is cyclical and, from time to time, there is a shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater. In addition, the demand for, and wage rates of, qualified drilling rig crews rise as the number of active rigs in service increases. As a result of increasing levels of exploration and production in response to strong prices of oil and natural gas, the demand for oilfield services has risen, and the costs of these services are increasing, while the quality of these services may suffer.
We could be adversely affected by fluctuations in oil and gas prices.
Even if our drilling activities achieve commercial quantities of economically attractive reserves and production revenue, our revenue, profitability and future growth will depend substantially on prevailing oil and gas prices. Prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in circumstances, and there can be no assurance that future prolonged decreases in such prices will not occur. There is no guarantee that price levels, which have recently decreased, will continue to be sustained, and there could be a further sharp drop in market prices from factors such as increased supply, reduced demand, new alternative energy sources, major new exploration successes, political instability, armed conflict or terrorist attacks, whether or not in oil and gas producing regions, labor unrest in oil and gas producing regions, weather conditions and world economic conditions. Any significant decline in oil and gas prices would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, operations, financial condition and ability to raise additional necessary capital. Lower oil and gas prices may also reduce the amount of oil and gas, if any, that can be produced economically from the Company’s properties.
We could be adversely affected by increased costs of service providers that we utilize.
In accordance with customary industry practice, we rely on independent third-party service providers to provide most of the services necessary to drill new wells, including drilling rigs and related equipment and services, horizontal drilling equipment and services, trucking services, tubulars, fracing and completion services and production equipment. The industry has experienced significant price increases for these services during the last year, and this trend is expected to continue into the future. These cost increases could, in the future, significantly increase our development costs and decrease the return possible from drilling and development activities, and possibly render the development of certain proved undeveloped reserves uneconomical.
We have no experience in the rig building/refurbishment business and are relying on the expertise of third parties.
Since the Company has no experience in the rig building/refurbishment business, we are forced to rely on the expertise of third parties. There can be no guarantee that these third parties will continue to advise the Company with respect to this business and the failure to maintain these relationships could materially impair the Company’s ability to run, maintain and expand this line of business.
We could have difficulty locating candidate rigs for the rig building/refurbishment business or market conditions could change thus rendering our business model unprofitable.
While we have located some candidate rigs and we believe that such rigs will be available for our rig building/refurbishment business, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain used rigs on acceptable terms. In addition, market conditions could change, preventing us from acquiring suitable old, inactive rigs, or cheaper alternatives to refurbished rigs could become available thus rendering our product unattractive to potential consumers. The inability to build/refurbish rigs in a cost-effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our operations and a negative impact on the price of our stock.
We anticipate that we will utilize horizontal drilling techniques, which could result in greater mechanical risks and impair our ability to maximize production.
Horizontal drilling will allow us to drill with an onshore rig into offshore bottom-hole locations much less expensively. The rig we plan to use is an onshore 2,000 horsepower triple, which has the ability to drill to a total depth of 20,000 feet with two miles of deviation. Horizontal drilling will also allow us to maximize production efficiency with less wells being drilled. Horizontal drilling activities involve a greater risk of mechanical problems than conventional vertical drilling methods and there can be no assurance that we will achieve expected results from the use of horizontal drilling, or that we will not experience more mechanical problems and other difficulties than we otherwise might experience. If we encounter mechanical risks as a result of our horizontal drilling strategy, this may impair our ability maximize production and could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our insurance policies may not adequately protect us against certain unforeseen risks.
There are currently many known hazards associated with the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil. To protect against possible liability, Tekoil maintains liability insurance with coverage that it believes is consistent with industry practice and appropriate in light of the risks attendant to its business. However, if Tekoil is unable to maintain insurance in the future at acceptable cost or at all, or if its insurance does not fully cover it and a successful claim is made against Tekoil, Tekoil could be exposed to significant liability. Any claim made against Tekoil that is not fully covered by insurance could be costly to defend, result in substantial damage award against Tekoil and divert the attention of management from Tekoil’s operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance.
Our activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation.
The oil and gas industry is subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations governing the production, transportation and sale of hydrocarbons as well as the taxation of income resulting there from. Such regulations may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. Numerous federal, state and provincial departments and agencies have their own rules and regulations applicable to the oil and gas industry. In general, these rules and regulations regulate, among other things, the extent to which acreage may be acquired or relinquished, spacing of wells, measures required for preventing waste of oil and gas resources and, in some cases, rates of production. The heavy and increasing regulatory burdens on the oil and gas industry increase the costs of doing business and, consequently, affect profitability.
In addition, the production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws and for remediation of existing environmental contamination have not been significant in relation to the results of our operations. There can be no assurance that the trend of more expansive and stricter environmental legislation and regulations will not continue and that any such expansion will not materially increase our cost of doing business.
We are subject to various environmental risks, and governmental regulation relating to environmental matters.
We are subject to a variety of federal, state, provincial and local governmental laws and regulations related environmental protection, particularly the storage, use, discharge and disposal of toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous materials. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and production activities, the release of emissions into the atmosphere, the discharge and disposition of generated waste materials, the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites and the remediation of contaminated sites. These laws and regulations subject us to increased operating costs, and they may impose substantial liability in the event that we fail to comply with them or for any contamination resulting from operations. Although these laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our business, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to make material expenditures in the future that will adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, we anticipate that such laws and regulations will become increasingly stringent in the future, which could lead to material costs for environmental compliance and remediation by the Company. Any failure by us to obtain required permits for, control the use of, or adequately restrict the discharge of hazardous substances under present or future regulations could subject us to substantial liability or could cause our operations to be suspended. Such liability or suspension of operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to intense competition.
We operate in a highly competitive market and compete with major and independent oil and gas companies for the acquisition of desirable oil and gas properties, as well as for the equipment and labor required to develop and operate such properties. Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, substantial track records and financial, technological and technical resources substantially greater than ours. This may allow these competitors to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their oil and gas exploration and production projects. Many of these competitors offer a wider range of oil and gas opportunities not available to Tekoil and may attract business partners consequently resulting in a decrease of Tekoil’s business opportunities. These competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development, adopt more aggressive strategies and make more attractive offers to existing and potential purchasers, and partners. Furthermore, competitors may develop technology and oil and gas exploration strategies that are equal or superior to Tekoil’s and achieve greater market recognition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to better address the needs of our target market. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. There can be no assurance that Tekoil will be able to compete successfully against its current or future competitors or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on Tekoil’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
We currently depend on our Chief Executive Officer and may have difficulty attracting qualified personnel as our business grows.
We are dependent on the experience, abilities and continued services of our current Chief Executive Officer and President, Mark S. Western. Mr. Western has played a significant role in our development and management. The loss or reduction of services of Mr. Western could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Our future success will also depend in large part upon the continued services and performance of other key personnel. If we lose the services of any member of our senior management team, our overall operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our future success will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel when they are needed. Competition for these individuals is intense. We cannot ensure that we will be able to successfully attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel when the need arises. Any failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our stock trades in a limited public market and is subject to price volatility.
Our Common Stock is traded on the “Pink Sheets.” Stocks that trade on Pink Sheets tend to be less liquid and trade with larger spreads between the bid and ask price than stocks on larger exchanges or automated quotation systems. Information with respect to Pink Sheets quotations reflects inter-dealer prices without retail markup, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions, and quotations on the Pink Sheets are sporadic. This means that shares of our Common Stock are less liquid than shares of companies traded on larger exchanges or automated quotation systems and, as a result, holders of our Common Stock may have some difficulty selling their shares in the open market. The trading price of the Common Stock is volatile and could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results or even mild expressions of interest on a given day.
Certain restricted shares of the Company will be eligible for sale in the future which could affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.
Certain of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and (except for shares purchased by “affiliates” of the Company’s as such term is defined in Rule 144) are eligible for sale as the applicable holding periods expire. Currently, these shares may be sold only pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption, including pursuant to Rule 144. Under Rule 144, a person who has owned Common Stock for at least one year may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of shares of Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the restricted securities for the last two years is entitled to sell all such shares without regard to the volume limitations, current public information requirements, manner of sale provisions and notice requirements. Moreover, all outstanding shares of our Common Stock, as well as shares of Common Stock into which outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, are being registered for resale pursuant to this registration statement. Sale or the expectation of sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market by selling shareholders could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock, possibly having a depressive effect on any trading market for the Common Stock, and may impair our ability to raise capital at that time through additional sale of our equity securities.
We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings to fund the development and growth of our businesses, to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. If the Company does not pay dividends, its stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the stock price appreciates.
Our Common Stock may be subject to secondary trading restrictions related to penny stocks.
Our stock is subject to what are known as the "penny stock" rules. The "penny stock" rules place additional requirements on broker-dealers who sell or make a market in such securities. Consequently, the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell or make a market in our Common Stock could be impacted and your ability to resell your shares, and the price at which you could sell your shares, could be adversely affected.
Our directors and executive officers own a substantial amount of Common Stock, which permits them to exercise significant control over material corporate decisions.
Mark S. Western beneficially owns approximately 24.06% of the combined voting securities of the Company. Together with Mr. Western, the executive officers and directors of the Company control approximately 39.51% of the combined voting securities of the Company. As a result, Mr. Western and the other directors and executive officers are able to control the outcome of shareholder votes, including votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentrated ownership makes it unlikely that any other holder or group of holders of the Company’s voting securities will be able to affect the way the Company is managed or the direction of our business. These factors may also precipitate, delay or prevent a change in management.
We cannot be certain that previous equity offerings by the Company were in compliance with securities laws and regulations.
Prior to execution of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which our current controlling shareholders took control of the Company, the Company engaged in capital raising efforts through the issuance of common stock. Such restricted securities were purportedly issued pursuant to valid exemptions from U.S. and state securities laws, and the previous controlling shareholder of the Company made representations in the Acquisition Agreement that all shares of common stock theretofore issued by the Company were issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws and all other applicable laws. In the event that such representations were incorrect, and the Company issued securities in violation of federal or sate securities laws, then the Company could be subject to criminal and civil penalties, which could materially adversely affect its operations, its ability to raise additional capital and its stock price.

The Company has not previously paid cash dividends on its common stock. The payment of cash dividends from current earnings is not prohibited by any agreements to which the Company is a party, but is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon many factors, including the Company’s earnings, its capital needs and its general financial condition. The Company currently does not intend to pursue a policy of payment of dividends, but rather to utilize any excess proceeds to finance the development and expansion of its business.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Tekoil & Gas Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on January 2, 2002, under the name “Trailridge Holdings, Inc.” On April 6, 2004, the Company changed its name to “Glow Bench Systems International, Inc.” and on December 14, 2004, it changed its name to “Pexcon, Inc.”
On May 25, 2005, Pexcon, Inc., entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Tekoil & Gas Corporation, a Florida corporation, the shareholders of Tekoil-FL and Gerald M. Dunne, in which the shareholders of Tekoil-FL received 694,980,000 shares of the common stock, $0.00000001 par value, of Pexcon, Inc., in exchange for the outstanding shares of common stock of Tekoil-FL held by them. Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition Agreement on June 27, 2005, Pexcon, Inc., had a total of 772,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding. In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, Pexcon, Inc., acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Tekoil-FL, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pexcon, Inc. For accounting purposes only, the share exchange transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Tekoil-FL as the acquiror. In connection with the transaction, the Board of Directors of Pexcon, Inc. resigned, the Board of Directors of Tekoil-FL became the Board of Directors of the Company, and the Company’s name was formally changed from Pexcon, Inc., to Tekoil & Gas Corporation.
On October 14, 2005, the Company effected a 1 for 100 reverse split of its common stock. As of that date and as a result of the reverse stock split, 7,722,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company changed the par value of the common stock from $0.00000001 per share to $0.000001 per share, and it reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock from 800,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.
The Company currently operates its business directly, and not through its Tekoil-FL subsidiary, which continues to exist but has no assets or operations. For the purpose of pursuing its business strategy in the Province of Newfoundland, Canada, as described in greater detail below, on March 29, 2006 the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tekoil Rig and Development Corporation, a Newfoundland corporation, and on April 19, 2006, the Company qualified to do business in Newfoundland. For the purpose of pursuing its business strategy in Galveston Bay, Texas, on January 17, 2007 the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tekoil and Gas Gulf Coast, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company qualified to do business in Texas.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00000001 per share. The Company has designated 3,000,000 of those authorized shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the terms of which are set forth in the Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on August 2, 2005, as amended on February 22, 2006 and June 12, 2006.
As of May 25, 2007, the Company had outstanding 36,894,175 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, and 1,962,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00000001 per share.
Business
The Company is an exploration stage oil and gas enterprise focused on the acquisition, stimulation, rehabilitation and asset improvement of small to medium sized manageable oil and gas fields throughout North America.
Business Strategy
Our overall goal is to maximize our value through profitable growth by acquiring oil and gas reserves and production, with a firm philosophy of utilizing the latest, state of the art oil and gas technology in our drilling operations. Our current and ongoing strategy is to (a) acquire producing oil and gas properties with significant upside potential at favorable prices, (b) focus on exploration and development activities to maximize production and ultimate reserve recovery on existing properties, (c) explore undeveloped properties, (d) maintain a low cost structure, and (e) maintain financial flexibility. Key elements of our strategy include the following:
Acquisitions of Producing Properties. We have an experienced management and technical team, some of whom are consultants, which makes us more financially flexible. We focus on the acquisition of owner-operated producing properties that meet our selection criteria, which include (a) significant potential for increasing reserves and production through development and further exploration, (b) favorable purchase price, and (c) opportunities for improved operating efficiency. We are continually identifying and evaluating acquisition opportunities. Other than the Masters Acquisition described herein, to date, we have not been successful in this regard and there can be no assurance that any such acquisitions will be successfully consummated in the future.
Development. We have researched several projects that did not meet our criteria and/or did not pass our due diligence process. We continue to use our network of contacts in the industry to explore such opportunities, and with the use of the internet we conduct much of our due diligence before doing in situ evaluations.
Exploration. Our exploration activities for 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 have been restricted geographically to North America and Canada. Until recently, the main thrust of this initiative, however, was predominantly in Eastern Canada. We have identified a potentially exciting opportunity in an area where exploration and risk capital of in excess of $100 million has been previously expended from the 1990’s to 2005. However, another company holds the lease to this area, so we have no rights to pursue this opportunity unless the current lease is terminated. Our independent consulting engineers, Fekete Associates and Dick Boyce of dB, LLC, have advised us that this area was a failure due to previous operators’ not understanding the complexity of the structures, and the unavailability of modern-day 3D seismic technology. Over the life of the one drilled well in this area, when operating by various operators, the well produced an average of 2,500 barrels of oil per day. We have access to all the previous data and history of these prospects, including mapping information, 2D seismic interpretation, minimal 3D seismic interpretation and extensive drilling information.
We are also interested in two offshore licenses. One exploration license, EL #1070, which is currently issued to another operator, has been granted an extension from the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (the “Petroleum Board”) until January 15, 2008. During this extended time period, the operator must drill a validating well. If the operator fails to meet the terms and conditions of the extension, the license will revert back to the Crown (the government), and we will then express an interest in having the land included in the next Request for Bids. If the operator complies with the conditions, the license will be extended for a secondary term of an additional four years.
The second offshore license in which we are interested is EL #1071. This license was previously owned by Canadian Imperial, but it reverted back to the Crown on January 15, 2007. We will express an interest in this area, and we anticipate that it will be available in the Petroleum Board’s next Request for Bids, which usually occurs every March.
We also have one onshore area of interest. Lease 2002-01, presently held by PDI Production (“PDIP”) is set to expire on August 13, 2007. If PDIP fails to meet the terms and conditions of this lease area, it will automatically revert back to the Crown. Unlike the Petroleum Board, the provincial Department of Natural Resources, which manages onshore activities, is sporadic in its Request for Bids process. This is mainly due to less interest in the onshore area, as compared to the already viable offshore area. We have already expressed an interest in this area and are optimistic about the opportunity to bid on this area when presented by the Department.
Low Cost Structure. We have only six employees, and we hire subcontractors to provide technical engineering, accounting and legal expertise. We intend to maintain a low cost structure by keeping a small workforce. We have the capabilities of being an efficient operator and can capitalize on our low cost structure in evaluating acquisition opportunities. Our goal is to achieve substantial reductions in labor and other field-level costs from those expended by the previous operators. Our lower cost structure could substantially improve cash flows of targeted companies.
Financial Flexibility. We are committed to maintaining financial flexibility, which we believe is important for the successful execution of our acquisition, exploration and development strategy. Since October of 2005, we have completed private placements of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, which have provided us with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4,022,000.
Western Newfoundland Prospect Development
Progress from November 2005 to March 2007. After assembling the technical team in August 2005 and confirming the significant hydrocarbon potential that exists in the area of the Port au Port Peninsula of Western Newfoundland, we had the following objectives for the November 2005 to March 2007 time period:
| · | Prepare a technically sound exploration and development plan. |
| · | Lease the mineral rights over the prospective acreage at reasonable terms for the Company. |
| · | Establish our presence in Newfoundland by forming a Newfoundland subsidiary, qualifying to do business in Newfoundland and opening an office there; familiarize ourselves with the applicable regulatory regime(s) for oil and gas activity in the province; and establish good working relations with the regulators, government officials and the local communities in which we will be operating. |
| · | Obtain the approvals required to conduct an intense 3D seismic survey over the area’s onshore prospects. The necessity of conducting the seismic survey prior to conducting further drilling had been identified early in the technical evaluations. |
In establishing these objectives, we recognized that they would not all be completely achieved by March 2007. Nonetheless, we have achieved the following objectives:
| · | The exploration and development plan is complete. |
| · | We have developed a significant network of contacts in Newfoundland and have established a Newfoundland subsidiary and an office in St. John’s, Newfoundland, staffed by two employees, one of whom previously worked for the Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources for eight years. |
| · | We have met with relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Natural Resources, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board, the Department of Environment and Conservation, Environment Canada, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, as well as the Fish, Food and Allied Workers Union. |
| · | We have made significant progress towards obtaining environmental approvals for an exploration license to conduct the 3D seismic survey over the onshore prospects. On May 2, 2006, the Department of Environment and Conservation issued a letter regarding our Port au Port Peninsula 3D seismic survey, along with a summary of comments received from various reviewing agencies during the review period. The letter released our proposed 3D seismic survey from further environmental assessment by the Department, subject to the approval of an Environmental Protection Plan prior to the commencement of the survey. |
Onshore Rig Construction
Background. High market demand has made it very difficult to contract drill rigs from oil producing centers to undertake drilling in frontier areas. Larger oil companies are executing long-term exclusive-use contracts in established areas, making rigs unavailable on a well-by-well basis. High demand has simultaneously created 12-18 month wait times to purchase a new rig. Rigs in the 600 to 1000 HP and 1500 to 2000 HP range are particularly in short supply. Industry analysts, such as Rigzone.com (August 24, 2006) and WorldOil.com (October 2005), report that high market demand for rigs is expected to continue for the next few years, and other industry publications, such as Drilling Contractor , appear to concur in that expectation. However, there can be no assurance that market demand will continue to be high.
To ensure access to a 2000 HP drilling rig for our Newfoundland exploration activities, we have investigated purchasing one or more, older, unused units, and refurbishing them to present-day standards. The option is technically viable because the structural components of the rig have a service life in the order of 60 years. Refurbishment involves complete rebuilding/replacement of the mechanical, electrical and instrumentation systems.
The economics of purchasing an older unit and then refurbishing it in Newfoundland are attractive. Order of magnitude costs to secure a 2000 HP unit are as follows:
| · | Two-year, long-term contract - $32 million, with an expected mobilization/demobilization charge of $10 million, according to an estimate by Nabors International. Factors affecting the estimate were limited land market in Newfoundland, higher labor costs in Canada, the fact that there is no rig in the area and the necessity of winterization. |
| · | Purchase new - $27 million, with 12 to 18 month delivery, according to an estimate from National Oilwell Varco. Prices for new rigs have been steadily increasing in response to demand. |
| · | Refurbish older unit - $10 million with 6 months delivery through our own turnkey operation, as outlined below. |
According to our consultant, given current market conditions and the expectation that high market demand will continue, the resale value of a refurbished unit one year from now would likely be in the range of $18 million to $25 million. That would provide an $8 million to $15 million margin. Because of this significant margin, we could have an opportunity to generate healthy profits from ongoing rig refurbishments, through development of an extended work experience program with a Newfoundland technical college. A typical capital cost profile for a refurbished 2000+ HP rig is as follows:

Contract Drilling. The cost and difficulty of procuring a rig is a common problem for all oil companies operating in Atlantic Canada. With a rig in the area, we could contract to drill on non-competitive lands at a cost effective rate relative to drilling contractors located in Western Canada, the US or international locations. In addition to our own use, we are already aware of at least two potential uses for a rig in Atlantic Canada: (i) drilling stratigraphic test holes for the province of Newfoundland, and (ii) drilling two commercial wells, preferably commencing the summer of 2007, for Petroworth Resources Inc., onshore Prince Edward Island to a depth of approximately 3,500 meters. Elsewhere, demand for rigs of this size is growing, and we have already established a number of leads.
An existing port with direct access to/from the college fabrication facilities enables freighter transport of rigs. Ready transportation access to/from Newfoundland to oil producing regions around the globe could, in combination with the aforementioned labor cost advantages, enable development of an ongoing commercial operation that supports government development initiatives for the region.
Status of Rig Refurbishing Plans. The initial assessment of a rig purchase encouraged further investigation through February and March, 2006. During this time period, the purchase concept has evolved and expanded to one of purchasing old, inactive rig(s) and refurbishing them in Stephenville, Newfoundland, as a stand-alone business because market demand has taken up all available manufacturing capability and is creating excessive queue times for new rigs. Given current market conditions, our best option to secure a rig for our internal 2008 drilling program is to rebuild one. However, an ongoing rig refurbishing business could generate cash flow in 2007 and could be used to collateralize and finance our current and future exploration efforts. A refurbishing business is technically viable because the service life on structural components is on the order of 60 years.
The capital cost estimate to acquire and refurbish an older rig is approximately $10.5 million. To control material and shipping costs, we have contracted with Jim Howdle of Full Circle International Oilfield Products Inc., who has over 25 years experience in refurbishing rigs. The contractor has confirmed the tight market situation, the suitability of Port Harmon for freighter transport and the capability of the industrial trades in the Stephenville, Newfoundland, area to refurbish rigs. Mr. Howdle has also located inactive drilling rigs for potential purchase, including four rigs offered by Sun Machinery Corp. at a price of $1.9 million each.
We are currently pursuing the rig refurbishing business opportunity on several levels as follows:
| · | Scouting for suitable rigs and rig components to ship to Newfoundland. Refinement of material lists and cost estimates to procure, ship and refurbish selected rigs. |
| · | Negotiation with interested oil companies for the pre-purchase of the initial batch of rigs. |
| · | Establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Newfoundland, to handle the refurbishment business. |
| · | Securing key personnel under long-term contracts. |
| · | A site tour to inventory the college facilities and identify any additional equipment that will need to be purchased. |
| · | Ongoing negotiations with the technical college to better define the training program and the business relationship with the college. |
Recent Developments
Galveston Bay, Texas. On November 13, 2006, the Company executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Masters Resources, LLC and Masters Oil and Gas, LLC (together the “Sellers”), to acquire four properties, consisting of interests in Trinity Bay, Redfish Reef, Fishers Reef, and North Point Bolivar Fields, located in Galveston and Chambers Counties in the Galveston Bay, Texas and related assets and operations described therein (the “Properties”).
On December 29, 2006, the Company and the Sellers agreed to a First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated December 29, 2006, and filed on January 8, 2007, and a copy of the First Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.20 thereto. The First Amendment further provided that shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.000001 par value (the “Common Stock”) would be issued to the Sellers pursuant to a separate Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Sellers, dated December 29, 2006 (the “Subscription Agreement”), a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.21 to the same current report on Form 8-K. The Common Stock was to be subject to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Sellers and the Sellers’ designees, dated December 29, 2006 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 10.22 to the same current report on Form 8-K. The Company subsequently assigned its rights under the Purchase Agreement, as amended, to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tekoil and Gas Gulf Coast, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”).
On February 8, 2007, the Company, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Sellers agreed to a Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated February 8, 2007, and filed on February 15, 2007, and a copy of the Second Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.24 thereto. On March 1, 2007, the Company, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Sellers agreed to a Third Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated March 22, 2007, and filed on March 26, 2007, and a copy of the Third Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.1 thereto. On March 22, 2007, the Company, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Sellers agreed to a Fourth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated March 22, 2007, and filed on March 26, 2007, and a copy of the Fourth Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.2 thereto. On April 12, 2007, the Company, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Sellers agreed to a Fifth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated April 12, 2007, and filed on April 18, 2007, and a copy of the Fifth Amendment was attached as Exhibit 10.27 thereto. On April 30, 2007, the Company, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Sellers agreed to a Sixth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), which was described in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated April 30, 2007, and filed on May 3, 2007, and a copy of the Sixth Amendment (which included an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement) was attached as Exhibit 10.28 thereto.
On May 11, 2007, the Acquisition Subsidiary, Masters Resources, LLC and Masters Oil and Gas, LLC (together the “Sellers”), closed on the Purchase Agreement to acquire the Properties (the “Masters Acquisition”).
Oil and gas properties subject to the Masters Acquisition include 34 producing wells with 33 PDNP (proved non-producing) opportunities and more than 64 PUD (proved undeveloped) opportunities. There are 24,261 gross acres included in the Properties, as well as transportation and processing infrastructure.
In exchange for conveyance of the Properties to the Acquisition Subsidiary, the Sellers received approximately $30 million dollars in cash (subject to adjustment for an effective date of transfer of October 1, 2006, a $1 million dollar holdback for potential claims and prorations of closing costs), nine million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.000001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and conveyance of certain overriding royalty interests in the Properties (the “Royalties”). The shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Sellers (pursuant to the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement described above) will initially be restricted but are subject to the previously executed Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Sellers.
The Royalties consist of (i) a declining royalty which is initially 6% on proved undeveloped, proved non-producing Properties, and any present or future well completed in and producing from any zone or formation not presently producing or capable of producing within the Properties, which royalty reduces to 4% and 2%, respectively, after $20 million dollars and $10 million dollars, respectively, are paid on the declining royalty and the fixed royalty described below, together; (ii) a fixed royalty which is initially 3% on currently proved producing Properties, which royalty reduces to 2% when the $30 million threshold described immediately above is achieved; and (iii) an additional royalty of 2% on all Properties for a term of 3 years. The Royalties are subject to a deed of trust in favor of the Company securing an indemnity agreement relating to the potential claims described above.
The cash portion of the consideration to the Sellers was paid with $30 million of a $50 million Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Loan”) arranged by Goldman Sachs E & P Capital (the “Lender”), a division of Goldman Sachs & Co. The $30 million funded portion of the Loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by the Properties, has a term of 48 months, bears interest at an initial rate of libor plus 800 basis points, and is amortized by available net cash flow from the Properties (after payment of certain related lease operating and overhead expenses, a portion of which are allowed to the Company under certain circumstances). In addition, the Lender or its affiliates received a 50 basis point funding fee on amounts advanced; a 2% overriding royalty interest in the Properties; a warrant to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $0.50 per share over a five-year term and subject to a registration rights agreement; a 25% ownership interest in the Acquisition Subsidiary (the other 75% being held by the Company), which interest is non-dilutable until the Company contributes $7.5 million in additional capital for expenditures related to the Properties; and certain rights to participate in future debt and equity financings of the Company.
The Company must contribute the $7.5 million dollars detailed above to the Acquisition Subsidiary within 90 days following the closing to cover certain agreed development expenditures and raise an additional $5 million dollars for the Company within 180 days following the closing, in each case in order to avoid a default under the Loan. As a part of the Loan transaction, the Acquisition Subsidiary entered into certain hedging transactions described in Exhibits 10.47 and 10.48 hereof with respect to the pricing of its oil and gas production and certain insurance coverages as described in the Credit Agreement described in Exhibit 10.29 hereof. The Loan documents contain other customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.
Newfoundland, Canada. On November 21, 2006, the Company announced that its application for a geographic expansion of its original 3D seismic survey program around the Port au Port Peninsula and Port au Port Bay in western Newfoundland, had been increased from approximately 240 sq km to approximately 500 sq km and released from further environmental assessment by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment and Conservation. The Company is in the final stages with the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board to complete its approvals for the offshore component of the program, and it is focused on its Galveston, Texas, acquisition and on establishing its rig fabrication center in Stephenville, Newfoundland, with the anticipation of work beginning as early as the second quarter of 2007.
On January 3, 2007, the Company and Ptarmigan Resources Limited, a company based in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, executed a Farmout Agreement with respect to Ptarmigan’s offshore exploration license EL-1069. The License covers approximately 140,000 hectares, or 346,500 acres, of offshore surface area, in the shallow waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of the Port au Port peninsula in western Newfoundland.
Pursuant to the Farmout Agreement, the Company, as the Farmee, has paid $214,000 ($250,000 Canadian) to Ptarmigan, which was used as a drilling deposit to secure a one-year extension of the License from the Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board. The Company is required to drill an onshore-to-offshore test well during 2007, which will test an offshore structure and, as the validation well, will extend the lease until January 2011 (Phase 1). The Company will earn a one-third interest (33.3%) in the License for the completion of Phase 1. The Company may then conduct an offshore 3D seismic program by late 2008, to map in more detail four offshore features already identified by Ptarmigan using 2D seismic data, which will earn the Company a further 26.7% of the License, for a total ownership of 60% (Phase 2).
The Farmout Agreement further provides that the Company and Ptarmigan will then drill an offshore exploration well and will share the drilling costs; 60% by the Company and 40% by Ptarmigan. Should the Company carry 100% of the cost of drilling, it will earn an additional 20% interest in the License, for a total of up to 80%, subject to government royalties (Phase 3). The Company estimates the total cost of Phases 1, 2, and 3 to be approximately $6,000,000 in 2007, $10,000,000 in 2008 and $25,000,000 in 2009.
Research and Development Expenses
We do not presently budget or isolate all of our research and development costs. These costs are generally included in overhead, as they are attributed principally to salary and other expenses associated with maintaining personnel who spend varying amounts of time dedicated to both research and development and to ongoing studies on our current projects.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We do not currently budget or isolate all of our compliance costs relating to the environment. These costs are included in our consultant engineer fees.
Employees
As of May 25, 2007, we had six employees, of which five were full time employees. We have never had a work stoppage, and no employees are represented under collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified technical and managerial personnel, and upon the continued service of our senior management and key technical personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry and geographical location is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting, integrating, retaining and motivating a sufficient number of qualified personnel to conduct our business in the future.
MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical expenses and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company issues shares of its common and preferred stock to employees and non-employees as stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for the services using the fair market value of the consideration issued.
Intangible Assets. The valuation of intangible assets will be determined by management after considering a number of factors. On an annual basis, the Company will test for impairment. If the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows, the intangible assets would be adjusted to their fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified. Should the impairment loss be significant, the charge to operations could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Plan of Operation
Forecasted Activities March 2007 to March 2008
We have identified the following objectives for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007:
| · | Drill an onshore-to-offshore well in Block EL-1069, to a bottom-hole location which has the potential to produce commercial hydrocarbons. |
| | |
| · | Lease the mineral rights over the prospective acreage at reasonable terms for the Company. The area in which we are interested consists of the Garden Hill area encompassing 270 square kilometers located onshore and offshore, and the Shoal Point area encompassing 400 square kilometers located offshore in Port au Port Bay. Both areas are in Newfoundland, Canada. |
| · | Obtain the exploration license required to conduct an intense 3D seismic survey over the area’s onshore and offshore prospects. |
| · | Further establish our general presence and enhance our company profile in Newfoundland. |
| · | Establish an apprenticeship training program for the rig refurbishment business with the provincial technical college. |
| · | Secure and purchase two used drilling rigs for refurbishment. |
Three instruments govern onshore petroleum activities in Newfoundland:
| · | An exploration permit , issued as a result of a Request for Bids, confers the exclusive right to drill and test for petroleum on designated lands. It is valid for a primary term of five (5) years and can be extended for a further secondary term of two (2) years if certain conditions are met. |
| · | An exploration license does not confer any petroleum rights, but confers the non-exclusive right to conduct an exploration survey ( e.g. , seismic program) described in the license. An exploration license is valid for 180 days. We have applied for an exploration license with respect to our 3D seismic survey. |
| · | A lease , issued as a result of a discovery on an exploration permit, confers to the lessee the exclusive right to develop and produce a petroleum pool in the lease area. A lease has an initial term of 10 years, subject to five (5) year renewals for those areas still in production or necessary for production. |
Offshore petroleum activities are subject to three different documents:
| · | An exploration license , issued as a result of a Request for Bids, confers the right to explore for, and the exclusive right to drill and test for petroleum on designated lands, as well as the exclusive right to develop those portions of the offshore area in order to produce petroleum and the exclusive right, subject to compliance with other requirements, to obtain a production license. An exploration license is valid for a primary term of nine (9) years, consisting of two consecutive periods of five (5) years and four (4) years, with certain milestones that must be completed in the first five years for the license holder to continue to have rights in the latter four years. At the end of nine years, all rights to an area terminate unless the area becomes subject to a significant discovery license or a production license. |
| | |
| · | A significant discovery license may be granted with respect to an area as a result of an application for a declaration of significant discovery. It grants the same rights as an exploration license, and effectively extends rights to an area for so long as the relevant declaration of significant discovery is in force, or until a production license is issued for the relevant lands. The government retains significant authority over drilling orders and development orders. |
| · | A production license is issued where a commercial discovery is declared, which is a discovery of petroleum that has been demonstrated to contain reserves that justify the investment of capital and effort to bring the discovery to production. A production license confers the following: the right to explore for, and the exclusive right to drill and test for, petroleum; the exclusive right to develop those portions of the offshore area in order to produce petroleum; the exclusive right to produce petroleum from those portions of the offshore area; and title to the petroleum so produced. A production license is effective from the date it is issued for a term of twenty-five (25) years or for such period thereafter during which commercial production continues. The government retains significant authority over drilling orders and development orders. |
Canadian Imperial Venture Corp. was issued a lease for the onshore area in which we are interested, and that lease was due to expire on August 13, 2006. On June 28, 2006, Canadian Imperial issued a press release announcing that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador had extended the onshore lease for an additional year. We are not aware of the conditions placed upon the lease extension by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, but Canadian Imperial announced on August 15, 2006, that it had met certain financial commitments for the lease extension, specifically referencing work plans and work deposits submitted to the Department of Natural Resources. Based upon our discussions with government officials, we believe that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is imposing stricter requirements on leaseholders regarding investment in leased areas and progress toward production, as suggested by the speech delivered at the Atlantic Canada Oil and Gas Summit on May 30, 2005, by Premier Danny Williams. In the event that Canadian Imperial’s lease is terminated, re-bidding for the lease would likely then commence. Similarly, licenses covering the offshore prospective acreage expired on January 15, 2007, and re-bidding could commence as early as the fall of 2007.
We are also interested in two offshore licenses. One exploration license, EL #1070, which is currently issued to another operator, has been granted an extension from the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (the “Petroleum Board”) until January 15, 2008. During this extended time period, the operator must drill a validating well. If the operator fails to meet the terms and conditions of the extension, the license will revert back to the Crown (the government), and we will then express an interest in having the land included in the next Request for Bids. If the operator complies with the conditions, the license will be extended for a secondary term of an additional four years.
The second offshore license in which we are interested is EL #1071. This license was previously owned by Canadian Imperial, but it reverted back to the Crown on January 15, 2007. We will express an interest in this area, and we anticipate that it will be available in the Petroleum Board’s next Request for Bids, which usually occurs every March.
We also have one onshore area of interest. Lease 2002-01, presently held by PDI Production (“PDIP”) is set to expire on August 13, 2007. If PDIP fails to meet the terms and conditions of this lease area, it will automatically revert back to the Crown. Unlike the Petroleum Board, the provincial Department of Natural Resources, which manages onshore activities, is sporadic in its Request for Bids process. This is mainly due to less interest in the onshore area, as compared to the already viable offshore area. We have already expressed an interest in this area and are optimistic about the opportunity to bid on this area when presented by the Department.
We are currently in the process of confirming the environmental approval amendment procedures for the applications submitted to date to expand and include prospective offshore acreage surrounding the Port au Port peninsula. We have made significant progress towards obtaining environmental approvals for an exploration license to conduct the 3D seismic survey over the onshore prospects. On May 2, 2006, the Department of Environment and Conservation issued a letter regarding our Port au Port Peninsula 3D seismic survey, along with a summary of comments received from various reviewing agencies during the review period. The letter released our proposed 3D seismic survey from further environmental assessment by the Department, subject to the approval of an Environmental Protection Plan prior to the commencement of the survey. On November 21, 2006, the Company announced that its application for expansion of its original 3D seismic program had been increased from approximately 240 sq km to approximately 500 sq km and released from further environment assessment by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environmental Conservation. The Company is in the final stages with the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board to complete its approvals for the offshore component of the program.
To further cement our presence in Newfoundland, we have recently established a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Tekoil Rig Development Corporation, opened our Canadian headquarters in St. John’s and appointed Donna Parsons as Vice-President, Corporate Relations. We are talking to a number of companies and institutions concerning the long term financing for the Company’s operations, and we will continue to do so. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the provincial technical college to create training programs for the rig refurbishment business.
Jim Howdle, our contracted rig refurbishment expert, continues to monitor the availability of used, inactive rigs, and he is confident that once we have secured funding for this program, he will be able to act expeditiously to obtain such a rig.
On May 11, 2007, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Tekoil and Gas Gulf Coast, LLC completed the Masters Acquisition (described above) in Galveston Bay, Texas.
In January 2007, the Company executed a Farmout Agreement with Ptarmigan Resources Limited with respect to Ptarmigan’s offshore exploration license EL-1069. The license covers approximately 140,000 hectares, or 346,500 acres of offshore surface area, in the shallow waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of the Port au Port peninsula in western Newfoundland. The Company is required to drill an onshore-to-offshore test well during 2007, which will test an offshore structure and, as the validation well, will extend the lease until January 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operating and capital requirements have exceeded our cash flow from operations as we have been building our business. Since inception through March 31, 2007, we have expended approximately $4.9 million for operating and investing activities, which has been funded by investments of approximately $4.7 million from our shareholders and $0.5 million from borrowings.
Our cash balance as of March 31, 2007, was $130,013, which decreased from $294,071 as of December 31, 2006. The decrease to our cash balance was attributable to approximately $0.6 million raised by the Company through private placements of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2007, offset by increased operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the Company raised an additional approximately $1.4 million through private placements. Management believes the Company needs to raise additional funds to meet its current operations for the next twelve months.
In May 2007, the Masters Acquisition described in “Business—Recent Developments” closed and the Acquisition Subsidiary acquired the Properties described therein.
The cash portion of the consideration to the Sellers was paid with $30 million of a $50 million Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Loan”) arranged by Goldman Sachs E & P Capital (the “Lender”), a division of Goldman Sachs & Co. The $30 million funded portion of the Loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by the Properties, has a term of 48 months, bears interest at an initial rate of libor plus 800 basis points, and is amortized by available net cash flow from the Properties (after payment of certain related lease operating and overhead expenses, a portion of which are allowed to the Company under certain circumstances). In addition, the Lender or its affiliates received a 50 basis point funding fee on amounts advanced; a 2% overriding royalty interest in the Properties; a warrant to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $0.50 per share over a five-year term and subject to a registration rights agreement; a 25% ownership interest in the Acquisition Subsidiary (the other 75% being held by the Company), which interest is non-dilutable until the Company contributes $7.5 million in additional capital for expenditures related to the Properties; and certain rights to participate in future debt and equity financings of the Company.
The Company must contribute the $7.5 million dollars detailed above to the Acquisition Subsidiary within 90 days following the closing to cover certain agreed development expenditures and raise an additional $5 million dollars for the Company within 180 days following the closing, in each case in order to avoid a default under the Loan. As a part of the Loan transaction, the Acquisition Subsidiary entered into certain hedging transactions described in Exhibits 10.47 and 10.48 hereof with respect to the pricing of its oil and gas production and certain insurance coverages as described in the Credit Agreement described in Exhibit 10.29 hereof. The Loan documents contain other customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.
In January 2007, the Company executed a Farmout Agreement with Ptarmigan Resources Limited with respect to Ptarmigan’s offshore exploration license EL-1069. The Company paid Ptarmigan $214,000 USD ($250,000 Canadian), which was used as a drilling deposit to secure a one-year extension of the License from the Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board. The Company is also required to drill an onshore-to-offshore test well during 2007, which will test an offshore structure and, as the validation well, will extend the lease until January 2011 (Phase 1). The Company will earn a one-third interest (33.3%) in the License for the completion of Phase 1. The Company may then conduct an offshore 3D seismic program by late 2008, to map in more detail four offshore features already identified by Ptarmigan using 2D seismic data, which will earn the Company a further 26.7% of the License, for a total ownership of 60% (Phase 2).
The Farmout Agreement further provides that the Company and Ptarmigan will then drill an offshore exploration well and will share the drilling costs; 60% by the Company and 40% by Ptarmigan. Should the Company carry 100% of the cost of drilling, it will earn an additional 20% interest in the License, for a total of up to 80%, subject to government royalties (Phase 3). The Company estimates the total cost of Phases 1, 2, and 3 to be approximately $6,000,000 in 2007, $10,000,000 in 2008 and $25,000,000 in 2009.
We will need to raise additional capital of approximately $35 million to proceed with the 3D seismic program and the drilling of two wells. We will also need to raise an additional $25 million to proceed with our drilling rig refurbishment program. To date, the Company has generated no revenues. We are currently in negotiations with various investors, primarily for debt financing, but there can be no assurance that such funds will be available to us or that adequate funds from debt or equity financing will be available when needed or on terms satisfactory to us. We will continue to sell shares of our Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock from time to time. Our failure to obtain adequate additional financing may require us to delay or curtail some or all of our business efforts. Additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
During the past three years, we have sold unregistered shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the offering price of $1.00 per share and we continue to offer and sell unregistered shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, from time to time, at such price.
On December 15, 2005, we issued an unsecured promissory note, bearing interest at the rate of prime plus one percent (1%) per annum (8.25% at December 31, 2005) to Wiener, Goodman & Company, P.C. Profit Sharing Plan FBO Gerald Goodman (the Company's chief financial officer, treasurer and director) in the principal amount of $50,000, with principal and interest due at maturity on June 15, 2006. The maturity date has since been extended until June 30, 2007. At any time prior to maturity, the lender may, at its option, convert the promissory note into 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. There is no other formal arrangement to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans.
On September 15, 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with CIBC Mortgages Inc. The Company borrowed $264,373 to purchase a building in St. John's, Newfoundland. The mortgage bears interest equal to the CIBC Prime Rate plus 0.667% (6.667% at December 31, 2006). The mortgage matures on September 15, 2011. The mortgage is collateralized by the building in Newfoundland and a personal guarantee by the Company's Chief Financial Officer.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We lease an office at 25050 I-45 North, Suite 525, The Woodlands, Texas 77380, at the current rental rate of approximately $200 per month. The office is leased on a month-to-month basis. Currently, the facility is adequate for our operations, but management expects that additional facilities will be needed in the future.
In September 2006, we acquired the 6,000 square foot premises located at 25 Mountbatten Drive, St. John’s, Newfoundland A1A 3Y1, which has been serving as the Company’s Canadian headquarters since April 2006. The purchase price was approximately $360,000 and there is a mortgage on the property in the amount of approximately $264,000. In the opinion of management, this property is adequately covered by insurance. We are presently using the entire premises for our Canadian operations and do not lease any portion of the premises to third parties.
Oil and Gas Leases
We do not currently own the leases to the Newfoundland properties that we have an interest in exploring, nor are we certain of the terms of such leases. Canadian Imperial Venture Corp. was issued a lease for the area in which we are interested, and that lease was due to expire on August 13, 2006. On June 28, 2006, Canadian Imperial issued a press release announcing that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador had extended the onshore lease for an additional year. We are not aware of the conditions placed upon the lease extension by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, but Canadian Imperial announced on August 15, 2006, that it had met certain financial conditions for the lease extension, specifically referencing work plans and work deposits submitted to the Department of Natural Resources.
Based upon our discussions with government officials, we believe that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is imposing stricter requirements on leaseholders regarding investment in leased areas and progress toward production, as suggested by the speech delivered at the Atlantic Canada Oil and Gas Summit on May 30, 2005, by Premier Danny Williams. However, we do not know whether or not Canadian Imperial will be able to continue to meet government requirements for its lease extension, so there is a substantial risk that we may not receive approval for application for an exploration license. It is possible that Canadian Imperial will meet all government requirements for continued extension of the lease, preventing us from having access to this specific area. In addition, even if Canadian Imperial’s lease were terminated, there is no guarantee that if we receive approval of our exploration license for the 3D seismic survey we will automatically be approved as the new holder/owner of the lease
As described in “Business—Recent Developments,” the Masters Acquisition was closed in May of 2007 and the Acquisition Subsidiary acquired the Properties described therein.
In May of 2007, the Acquisition Subsidiary completed its first workover, a recompletion of an oil producing zone in well number 18 in the North Point Bolivar Field (one of the Properties acquired in the Masters Acquisition). The well is currently producing on a 13/64th choke with flow rates of approximately 380 barrels of oil per day and 84,000 standard cubic feet of gas per day. The Acquisition Subsidiary owns an approximate 75% net revenue interest in this well.
Present Activities
The Company and Acquisition Subsidiary are not presently conducting any significant drilling, water flood installation, pressure maintenance, or other material operations with respect to the Properties acquired in the Masters Acquisition, pending commencement of a comprehensive three-dimensional field study over an approximate 70 square mile area of the Red Fish Reef Property. It is anticipated that this study will commence in June 2007, will cost approximately $1.5 million dollars and that substantive results from such study will start becoming available in the first quarter of 2008.

(2) | These shares are issuable pursuant to a warrant to be issued pursuant to an Engagement Agreement between Goldman Sachs E & P Capital and the Company, dated December 29, 2006, and the related Warrant issued to Goldman, Sachs & Co. on May 11, 2007, referenced in Exhibit 10.37 hereto. Shares covered hereby include any additional shares issuable pursuant to the terms of such warrants. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may offer their shares at various times in one or more of the following transactions:
| · | on any national securities exchange, or other market on which our common stock may be listed at the time of sale; |
| · | in the over-the-counter market; |
| · | through block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | through purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| · | in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| · | through options, swaps or derivatives; |
| · | in privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | in transactions to cover short sales; and |
| · | through a combination of any such methods of sale. |
In addition, the selling stockholders may also sell their shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 under the terms of such rule rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell their shares upon terms and conditions that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from a selling stockholder or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser in amounts to be negotiated. Such compensation may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions as described above.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in sales of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.
From time to time the selling stockholders may be engaged in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other hedging transactions in our securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law and exchange regulations, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection with such transactions or in settlement of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In addition, from time to time, a selling stockholder may pledge its shares pursuant to the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its broker-dealer. Upon delivery of the shares or a default by a selling stockholder, the broker-dealer or financial institution may offer and sell the pledged shares from time to time.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share. As of May 25, 2007, 36,894,175 shares of common stock were outstanding, held of record by approximately 65 persons. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and the common stock vote together as a single class. There is no cumulative voting with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.
The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of the funds legally available therefore. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of shares of common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
The Company has never paid any dividends. Future dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company’s business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. However, there are no current restrictions on the payment of dividends either by contract or regulation.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On December 15, 2005, the Company engaged Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc. as its independent auditors. Prior to that date, the Company, as Pexcon, Inc., had engaged the services of Harris F. Rattray, C.P.A., as its independent auditor. The Company dismissed Harris F. Rattray, C.P.A. on December 15, 2005. The former principal accountant’s report on the financial statements for neither of the last two years contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors/audit committee. To management’s knowledge, there were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former accountant’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
LEGAL MATTERS
An opinion has been rendered by the law firm of Baker & Hostetler LLP to the effect that the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of Tekoil included in this prospectus for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the period November 29, 2004 (date of formation) to December 31, 2005 have been audited by Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc., independent certified public accountants, and have been included herein in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Company's articles of incorporation provide that its directors and officers will be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation law, a Delaware corporation may, under specified circumstances, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of an individual applying for indemnification if, unless otherwise ordered by a court, a final adjudication establishes that (i) his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law, and (ii) the act or omission was material to the cause of action.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Board of DirectorsTekoil & Gas Corporation and Subsidiaries
Orlando, Florida
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tekoil & Gas Corporation and Subsidiaries (an exploration stage company) at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the period November 29, 2004 (date of formation) to December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tekoil & Gas Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the period November 29, 2004 to December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital for its planned activity and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TEKOIL & GAS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Organization
Tekoil & Gas Corporation (the "Company" or "Tekoil") was incorporated in Delaware. The Company is focused on the acquisition, stimulation, rehabilitation and asset improvement of small to medium sized manageable oil and gas fields throughout North America.
The Company currently operates its business directly, and not through its Tekoil & Gas Corporation Florida subsidiary, which continues to exist but has no assets or operations. For the purpose of pursuing its business strategy in the Province of Newfoundland, Canada, on March 29, 2006, the Company formed Tekoil Rig Development Corporation, a wholly-owned Newfoundland Corporation, and on April 19, 2006, the Company qualified to do business in Newfoundland.
The Company is considered an exploration stage enterprise as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies". The Company has no revenue to date and there is no assurance the exploration, geological, typographical and geophysical studies by the Company will determine whether a well has proven reserves or that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.
Basis of Presentation
On June 27, 2005, Pexcon, Inc. ("Pexcon") entered into a share exchange agreement with Tekoil. In connection with the share exchange, Pexcon acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Tekoil. For accounting purposes, the share exchange agreement has been treated as a recapitalization of Tekoil (subsidiary) as the acquirer. The financial statements prior to June 27, 2005 are those of Tekoil and reflect the assets and liabilities of Tekoil at historical carrying amounts.
As provided for in the share acquisition agreement, the stockholders of Tekoil received 6,949,800 of Pexcon common stock, representing 90% of the outstanding stock after the acquisition, in exchange for the outstanding shares of Tekoil common stock they held, which was accounted for as a recapitalization. Immediately following the share acquisition exchange, Pexcon had a total of 7,722,000 common shares issued and outstanding. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of Tekoil’s historical stockholders’ equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
In addition, the resignation of the former officers and directors of Pexcon took effect upon the close of the share acquisition exchange. The Tekoil Board of Directors became the Board of Directors of Pexcon and Mark Western became President and Chief Executive Officer.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company has raised funds to continue its exploration stage. No adjustments to the financial statements have been made.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at balance sheet date rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accrued expenses.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in one bank in the United States. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution that holds the Company financial instrument is financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.
Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighed average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. All potentially dilutive securities, which include preferred stock convertible into 8,995,000 and 2,001,000 common shares at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, have been excluded from the computation, as their effect is antidilutive.
Evaluation of long-lived Assets
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.
Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company issues shares of common stock and preferred stock to employees and non-employees as stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for the services using the fair market value of the consideration issued. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 9,750,000 shares of its common stock and recorded compensation expense of $1,950,000 in connection with the issuance of these shares, all of which were to related parties. The Company also issued 7,000 shares of its preferred stock and recorded compensation expense of $7,000 in connection with the issuance of these shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 1,947,170 shares of its common stock and recorded consulting expense of $627,204 in connection with the issuance of these shares of which 1,275,000 shares ($420,750) were to related parties. The Company also issued 50,000 shares of its preferred stock and recorded consulting expense of $50,000 in connection with the issuance of these shares.
For the period November 29, 2004 (Date of Formation of the subsidiary) through December 31, 2006, the Company issued 11,697,170 shares of its common stock and recorded compensation expense of $2,636,204 in connection with the issuance of these shares.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities.
The principal items giving rise to deferred taxes are certain expenses which have been deducted for financial reporting purposes which are not currently deductible for income tax purposes and the future tax benefits of certain net operating loss carryforward.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments including cash and accrued expenses, it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments.
New Financial Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SAFS 158 requires employers to recognize their defined benefit plans’ overfunded or underfunded status in their balance sheets, requires employers to measure plan assets and plan obligations as of the balance sheet date, immediately recognize any remaining transition obligation currently being deferred, and recognize actuarial gains and losses through other comprehensive income. The statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. This Standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of effects of the prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. We adopted SAB No. 108 in the fourth quarter of 2006 and adoption of SAB No. 108 did not impact our consolidated financial results.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). The interpretation requires a two step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits based on a recognition threshold of “more likely than not”. The FASB also requires explicit disclosures about uncertainties in tax positions including a detailed rollforward of tax benefits that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. The adoption of FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. While the Company’s analysis of the impact of this Interpretation is not yet complete, the Company does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", that requires compensation costs related to stock-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards are to be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the reward. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective as to the Company as of the beginning of the Company's 2006 fiscal year. The Company accounted for the stock-based compensation costs using the modified prospective method at the time of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 or the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Statement on its financial statements.

4. | NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY |
On December 15, 2005 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note at prime plus 1%
(8.25% at December 31, 2006) to a related party in the amount of $50,000, with principal and interest due at maturity on June 15, 2006, this note was extended to June 30, 2007. At the option of the lender, any time prior to maturity the lender can convert the loan into 50,000 shares of Tekoil and Gas Corporation convertible preferred stock.
After the principal of this Note becomes due, interest shall be payable on demand and shall accrue at a rate of 12% per annum. As additional consideration for the loan, Tekoil issued to the lender 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $8,250 the fair value of the time of issuance. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period November 27, 2004 (Date of Formation of the subsidiary) through December 31, 2006 amounted to $3,963, $-0- and $3,963, respectively, and was accrued as at December 31, 2006.
On September 15, 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with CIBC Mortgages Inc. The Company borrowed $260,318 to purchase a building in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The mortgage bears interest equal to the CIBC Prime Rate plus 0.667% (6.667% at December 31, 2006). The mortgage matures September 15, 2011. The mortgage is collateralized by the building in Newfoundland and a personal guarantee by the Company’s chief financial officer. The current portion of the mortgage payable of $4,261 is included in current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2006, the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5,618,600 which expires in various years through 2020. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of the net operating carryforwards.

Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of .00000001 par value preferred stock.

The Board of Directors has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue the shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the Company's common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company sold 2,268,000 and 655,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of $2,268,000 and $655,000 respectively.

Each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to vote on all matters on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and of Common Stock vote together as a single class. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to cast the number of votes per share as is equal to the number of votes that such holder would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Share of Common Stock, such conversion rate being three (3) share of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. There is no cumulative voting with the result that the holders of more than 50% if the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. |
· | The holders of Common Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors for each such class of stock out of the funds legally available therefore. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to share ratably, after conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock into three (3) shares of Common Stock, in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock. |
· | Holders of shares of Common Stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock has the right, at its option and without further payment, to convert any or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of three (3) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into three (3) shares of Common Stock (i) immediately prior to a liquidation of the Company; (ii) immediately prior to an initial public offering by the Company,; (iii) at any time after July 29, 2006, at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On or about August 15, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company by Gerald M. Dunne in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida (Case No. 0612299). In the complaint, Mr. Dunne alleged that the Company breached a May 25, 2005 Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired certain shares of Tekoil & Gas Corporation, a Florida corporation, owned by Mr. Dunne in exchange for shares of our common stock. Mr. Dunne alleged that the Company failed to issue shares of our common stock in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock in breach of the Acquisition Agreement.
The complaint sought the following relief: (i) a temporary injunction preventing the Company from filing an application for a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, or from selling, assigning or otherwise encumbering the Company’s shares until it has fulfilled its contractual obligations to Mr. Dunne; (ii) a judgment against the Company for breach of contract; (iii) a judgment ordering the Company to specifically perform the Acquisition Agreement and deliver the shares to Mr. Dunne; (iv) as an alternative to the claims for breach of contract and specific performance, a judgment for damages against the Company based upon an allegation of conversion of the shares; and (v) as an alternative to the claims for breach of contract and specific performance, a judgment for damages against the Company based upon an allegation of promissory estoppel.
Contemporaneously with the filing of the complaint, Mr. Dunne filed a verified emergency motion for temporary injunction and incorporated memorandum of law with respect to his request for a temporary injunction in the Complaint.
On December 6, 2006, the Company and Mr. Dunne entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release that provided that the Company would pay Mr. Dunne $12,500.00 for his attorney’s fees and issue to him 504,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock, which would be released to him by an escrow agent over a 12-month period. A stock certificate representing 64,000 shares of common stock has been delivered to Mr. Dunne, and certificates representing 40,000 shares each are to be released to Mr. Dunne at the beginning of each month through November 1, 2007. The certificates are dated June 27, 2005 (the date of the closing of the Acquisition Agreement) and bear a restrictive legend. The Company expensed the value of the 504,000 shares ($166,320) issued to Mr. Dunne and is included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.
On January 4, 2007, the Company executed a Farmout Agreement (“Agreement”) with Newfoundland and Labrador-based Ptarmigan Resources (“Ptarmigan”), in their offshore exploration license EL-1069 (“License”) just north of the Port au Port Peninsula in western Newfoundland.
The Agreement required the Company to pay approximately $214,000 ($250,000 Canadian) to Ptarmigan which was used as a drilling deposit to secure a one year extension granted by the Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (“C-NCOPB”). The Agreement also requires the Company to drill an onshore-to-offshore exploration test-well in 2007 (“Phase 1”), which will test an offshore structure, and as the validation well, will extend the lease until January 2011. The Company will earn a one-third interest (33.3%) in the license for the completion of Phase 1. The Company will then conduct an offshore 3-D seismic program (“Phase 2”) by late 2008, to map in more detail four offshore features already identified by Ptarmigan using 2-D seismic data, which will earn the Company a further 26.7% of the License, for a total ownership of 60%.
The Company and Ptarmigan then plan to drill an offshore exploration well (“Phase 3”) and will share the drilling costs; 60% the Company and 40% Ptarmigan. Should the Company carry 100% of the Phase 3 drilling expenses, the Company will earn an additional 20% interest in the License, for a total up to 80%, subject to government royalties. The Company estimates the total cost of Phase 1, 2 and 3 to approximate $6,000,000 in 2007, $10,000,000 in 2008 and $25,000,000 in 2009.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the following consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that the following consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the year-end consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or for any other period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2007
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by Tekoil & Gas Corporation (the "Company or "Tekoil") and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from audited financial statements.
Organization
Tekoil & Gas Corporation (the "Company" or "Tekoil") was incorporated in Delaware. The Company is focused on the acquisition, stimulation, rehabilitation and asset improvement of small to medium sized manageable oil and gas fields throughout North America.
The Company currently operates its business directly, and not through its Tekoil & Gas Corporation Florida subsidiary (“Tekoil-FL”), which continues to exist but has no assets or operations. For the purpose of pursuing its business strategy in the Province of Newfoundland, Canada, on March 29, 2006, the Company formed Tekoil Rig Development Corporation, a wholly-owned Newfoundland Corporation, and on April 19, 2006, the Company qualified to do business in Newfoundland.
The Company is considered an exploration stage enterprise as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies." The Company has no revenue to date, and there is no assurance the exploration, geological, topographical and geophysical studies by the Company will determine whether a well has proven reserves or that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations.
Basis of Presentation
On June 27, 2005, Pexcon, Inc. ("Pexcon") entered into a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Tekoil-FL. In connection with the share exchange, Pexcon acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Tekoil-FL. For accounting purposes, the share exchange agreement has been treated as a recapitalization of Tekoil-FL (subsidiary) as the acquirer. The financial statements prior to June 27, 2005 are those of Tekoil-FL and reflect the assets and liabilities of Tekoil-FL at historical carrying amounts.
As provided for in the share exchange agreement, the stockholders of Tekoil received 6,949,800 of Pexcon common stock, representing 90% of the outstanding stock after the acquisition, in exchange for the outstanding shares of Tekoil common stock they held, which was accounted for as a recapitalization. Immediately following the share acquisition exchange, Pexcon had a total of 7,722,000 common shares issued and outstanding. The financial statements show a retroactive restatement of Tekoil-FL’s historical stockholders’ equity to reflect the equivalent number of shares of common stock issued in the acquisition.
In addition, the resignation of the former officers and directors of Pexcon took effect upon the close of the share acquisition exchange. The Tekoil Board of Directors became the Board of Directors of Pexcon and Mark Western became President and Chief Executive Officer.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company has raised funds to continue its exploration stage. No adjustments to the financial statements have been made.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average exchange rate for the applicable period. Translation adjustments are recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accrued expenses.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in one bank in the United States. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution that holds the Company financial instrument is financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.
Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighed average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. All potentially dilutive securities, which include preferred stock convertible into 8,526,000 and 3,966,000 common shares at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been excluded from the computation, as their effect is antidilutive.
Evaluation of long-lived Assets
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” If the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss would be charged to operations in the period identified.
Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company issues shares of common stock and preferred stock to employees and non-employees as stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for the services using the fair market value of the consideration issued. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued no shares.
For the period November 29, 2004 (Date of Formation of the Subsidiary) through March 31, 2007, the Company issued 17,694,214 shares of its common stock and recorded compensation expense of $2,582,304 in connection with the issuance of these shares.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities.
The principal items giving rise to deferred taxes are certain expenses which have been deducted for financial reporting purposes which are not currently deductible for income tax purposes and the future tax benefits of certain net operating loss carryforward.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments including cash, accrued expenses and accounts payable it was assumed that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of such instruments.
New Financial Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. This Standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of effects of the prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The Company adopted SAB No. 108 in the fourth quarter of 2006 and adoption of SAB No. 108 did not impact Company’s consolidated financial results.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Statement on its financial statements.
On January 4, 2007, the Company executed a Farmout Agreement (“Agreement”) with Newfoundland and Labrador-based Ptarmigan Resources (“Ptarmigan”), in their offshore exploration license EL-1069 (“License”) just north of the Port au Port Peninsula in western Newfoundland.
The Agreement required the Company to pay approximately $214,000 ($250,000 Canadian) to Ptarmigan which was used as a drilling deposit to secure a one year extension granted by the Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (“C-NLOPB”). The drilling deposit is being expensed during 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company expensed $53,500, and the balance of $160,500 included in prepaid expenses on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2007. The Agreement also requires the Company to drill an onshore-to-offshore exploration test-well in 2007 (“Phase 1”), which will test an offshore structure, and as the validation well, will extend the lease until January 2011. The Company will earn a one-third interest (33.3%) in the license for the completion of Phase 1. The Company will then conduct an offshore 3-D seismic program (“Phase 2”) by late 2008, to map in more detail four offshore features already identified by Ptarmigan using 2-D seismic data, which will earn the Company a further 26.7% of the License, for a total ownership of 60%.
The Company and Ptarmigan then plan to drill an offshore exploration well (“Phase 3”) and will share the drilling costs; 60% the Company and 40% Ptarmigan. Should the Company carry 100% of the Phase 3 drilling expenses, the Company will earn an additional 20% interest in the License, for a total up to 80%, subject to government royalties. The Company estimates the total cost of Phase 1, 2 and 3 to approximate $6,000,000 in 2007, $10,000,000 in 2008 and $25,000,000 in 2009.

a) | On November 13, 2006, the Company executed a Purchase and Sales Agreement with Masters Resources, LLC, and Masters Oil and Gas, LLC, to acquire four properties, consisting of interests in Trinity Bay, Redfish Reef, Fishers Reef and North Point Bolivar Fields, located in Galveston and Chambers Counties in the Galveston Bay, Texas. Total consideration payable by the Company will exceed $50 million and may be as much as $80 million under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that the Company must pay a non-refundable sum of $1 million to Masters Resources and Masters Oil and Gas. The agreement further provides for a closing to occur, as amended, in April 2007, which is subject to a number of conditions, including completion of due diligence and arrangement of financing by the Company. On November 27, 2006, the Company paid the $1 million deposit required by the Purchase and Sale Agreement. In addition, costs and expenses to acquire the four properties have been capitalized. Should the Company not proceed with the acquisition of the properties, the Company will write off the related expenses to operations at that date. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has capitalized $432,013 of costs in connection with the proposed acquisition. The Purchase and Sales Agreement has been amended six times to extend the closing date, most recently to on or before May 11, 2007. Payment terms have also been amended such that the cash required to close the transaction is $30 million, and the sellers will be issued nine million shares of Common Stock. |
b) | Tekoil and Gas Corporation had an exclusive option on the acquisition for a mining concession with Calcita Dominicana, a Dominican Republic based company from the date of signing through September 30, 2006. An additional deposit of $90,000 per the agreement was due December 1, 2005. In June 2006, the Company terminated its agreement with Calcita Dominicana and wrote off its investment of $10,000, which is included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
c) | In May 2006, the Company forwarded $4,396 to a real estate agency as a deposit on property in St. John's, Newfoundland. The transaction was not consummated and the Company received the return of the deposit in February 2007. |

5. | NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED RATED |
On December 15, 2005 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note at prime plus 1% (8.25% at March 31, 2007) to a related party in the amount of $50,000, with principal and interest due at maturity on June 15, 2006. This note was extended to June 30, 2007. At the option of the lender, any time prior to maturity the lender can convert the loan into 50,000 shares of Tekoil and Gas Corporation convertible preferred stock.
After the principal of this Note becomes due, interest shall be payable on demand and shall accrue at a rate of 12% per annum. As additional consideration for the loan, Tekoil issued to the lender 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $8,250, the fair value at the time of issuance. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period November 27, 2004 (Date of Formation of the subsidiary) through March 31, 2007 amounted to $1,031, $927 and $4,994, respectively, and, was accrued as at March 31, 2007.
On September 15, 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with CIBC Mortgages Inc. The Company borrowed $260,318 to purchase a building in St. John's, Newfoundland. The mortgage bears interest equal to the CIBC Prime Rate plus 0.667% (6.667% at March 31, 2007). The mortgage matures September 15, 2011.

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
At March 31, 2007, the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $6,058,000 million which expires in various years through 2020. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of the net operating carryforwards. In recognition of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of tax benefits to be derived from the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the deferred asset.

With respect to sales of common stock by the Company on or after June 27, 2005, no underwriters took part in these sales of common stock, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. These sales were made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the safe harbor provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, in that the sales did not involve any public offering. All purchasers of these shares of common stock were “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, based upon representations made by such purchasers to the Company; and, consequently, the Company did not provide such purchasers information of the type described in Rule 502(b)(2) of Regulation D. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold these shares of common stock by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. Each purchaser of these shares of common stock represented to the Company (i) that such purchaser was acquiring such shares for the purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, (ii) that such purchaser understood that such shares had not been registered under the Act and, therefore, could be resold unless they were subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration was available, and (iii) that a legend would be placed on the certificate evidencing such shares stating that the shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on transferability and sale of the shares. All stock certificates representing such shares were issued with a restrictive legend, and the Company filed notices on Form D with the Commission and the relevant state securities regulators.
With respect to sales of common stock prior to June 27, 2005 by Pexcon, Inc. (as the Company was known at that time), to the knowledge of the Company’s management, no underwriters took part in these sales of unregistered shares of Pexcon, Inc.’s common stock, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. The Company’s management does not know the section of the Securities Act or the Commission rule under which Pexcon, Inc., claimed exemption from registration. Other than as disclosed above, the Company’s management does not possess any other information concerning sales of unregistered securities of Pexcon, Inc. At the time of the change of control of the Company on June 27, 2005, 772,200,000 shares (pre-reverse split) of Pexcon, Inc., common stock were outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. The Company cannot guarantee that other unregistered securities were not sold by the Company (as Pexcon, Inc.) prior to June 27, 2005, or that sales by the Company (as Pexcon, Inc.) prior to June 27, 2005, were properly made in reliance on an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
On November 20, 2006, the Company sold 2,205,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of approximately $0.4762 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,050,000.00.

No underwriters took part in these sales of common stock, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. The Company’s sales of these securities were made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the safe harbor provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, in that the sales did not involve any public offering. All Subscribers were “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, based upon representations made by such Subscribers to the Company; and, consequently, the Company was not required to provide such Subscribers information of the type described in Rule 502(b)(2) of Regulation D. Nevertheless, the Subscribers had access to the Company’s public reports and other filings with the Commission and an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and directors of the Company.

Each Subscriber represented to the Company, among other things, (i) that such Subscriber was acquiring such shares for the Subscriber’s own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, (ii) that such Subscriber understood that such shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, could not be resold unless they were subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration was available, and (iii) that a legend would be placed on the certificate evidencing such shares stating that the shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on transferability and sale of the shares. All stock certificates representing such shares were issued with a restrictive legend, and the Company filed notices on Form D with the Commission and the relevant state securities regulators.
On December 6, 2006, the Company and Gerald M. Dunne entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which the Company agreed to, among other things, issue Mr. Dunne 504,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which will be released to him over a 12-month period.

The certificates are dated June 27, 2005 (the date of the closing of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the dispute with Mr. Dunne arose) and bear a restrictive legend.
On May 1, 2006, the Company issued 50,000 share of common stock to Donna Parsons, an employee of the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary. The Company issued these shares as an incentive to Ms. Parsons in the performance of her duties to the subsidiary company.
No underwriters took part in these issuances of common stock, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. The Company’s sale of securities to Mr. Dunne and its issuance to Ms. Parsons were made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and, in the case of Mr. Dunne, the safe harbor provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, in that the issuances did not involve any public offering. Mr. Dunne represented to the Company that he was an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D; and, consequently, the Company was not required to provide Mr. Dunne information of the type described in Rule 502(b)(2) of Regulation D. Nevertheless, Mr. Dunne had access to the Company’s public reports and other filings with the Commission and an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and directors of the Company. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold these shares of common stock by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. Mr. Dunne represented to the Company, among other things, (i) that he was acquiring such shares for his own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, (ii) that he understood that such shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, could not be resold unless they were subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration was available, and (iii) that a legend would be placed on the certificate evidencing such shares stating that the shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on transferability and sale of the shares. All stock certificates representing the shares of common stock issued to Mr. Dunne and to Ms. Parsons were issued with a restrictive legend, and the Company has filed notices on Form D, as required, with the Commission and the relevant state securities regulators.

No underwriters took part in these sales of Series A Preferred Stock, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid. The Company’s sales of these securities were made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the safe harbor provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, in that the sales did not involve any public offering. All purchasers of these shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, based upon representations made by such purchasers to the Company; and, consequently, the Company did not provide such purchasers information of the type described in Rule 502(b)(2) of Regulation D. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold these shares of Series A Preferred Stock by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. Each purchaser of these shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented to the Company (i) that such purchaser was acquiring such shares for the purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, (ii) that such purchaser understood that such shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, could be resold unless they were subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration was available, and (iii) that a legend would be placed on the certificate evidencing such shares stating that the shares had not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on transferability and sale of the shares. All stock certificates representing such shares were issued with a restrictive legend, and the Company filed notices on Form D with the Commission and the relevant state securities regulators.

Item 28. Undertakings.
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(1) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(2) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
