Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company had two primary sources of liquidity. The first was the Company’s cash position, held primarily in demand-deposit bank accounts. Cash was $819,189 at September 30, 2005. This compares to $420,321 at December 31, 2004, the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year. Of the Company’s cash positions at each of the dates stated in this paragraph, $57,377 was held as a reserve for tax liabilities. The substantial increase in the Company’s cash position between 2004 year end and September 30, 2005, is attributable primarily to retained earnings from operations. See “Results of Operations,” below.
The Company’s second primary source of liquidity was cash flow from operations. In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company’s monthly cash flow averaged $82,849. This figure compares to average monthly cash flows of $18,750 and $23,632 for fiscal 2004 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, is attributable primarily to increases in the prices of oil and natural gas that began toward the end of the final quarter of 2004, and to an increase in the number of wells that had reached payout under the Unioil/Prima Agreement. See “Results of Operations,” below.
Over the four quarters ended June 30, 2005, the Company experienced a steady increase in net working capital. Net working capital progressed from a deficit of $(33,266) at June 30, 2004, to $94,189 at December 31, 2004. Net working capital improved further to $330,651 at June 30, 2005. The increases in net working capital resulted primarily from increases in the prices of oil and natural gas. See “Results of Operations,” below.
At September 30, 2005, however, the Company’s net working capital had decreased to $121,894. The decease at September 30, 2005, as compared to the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is attributable to the Company’s having expended $344,676 in re-completing two existing oil-and-gas wells during the last two weeks of the most recently ended quarter. Although the Company anticipates that the re-completions will result in increased revenues from those wells, the increases will not begin to be realized until subsequent quarters.
Management anticipates a further program of well workovers and re-completions. Management is engaged in an active evaluation of options for a combination of financial arrangements for that program, as well as for the drilling of new wells.
One available option would be for the Company itself to finance the workover and re-completion of some of its wells. The financing might be provided solely by the Company’s own current working capital, or from a possible augmentation of that capital by one or more loans.
1
Another option would include some or all of the self-financed aspect of the first option, but would add an arrangement for the workover and re-completion of additional wells under a possible farmout arrangement with an independent entity. In addition, management anticipates that any arrangements with an independent entity would also feature terms for a program to drill new wells.
The Company, however, remains in the early preliminary stages of determining the timing, the terms, and the choice of industry partner relative to the workover, re-completion, and drilling programs.
To the extent that the Company’s future well program shall involve Company-financed workovers and re-completions, management anticipates further decreases in the Company’s net working capital position. Management is unable, however, to predict the magnitude or timing of its future expenditures of working capital.
At September 30, 2005, the Company’s assets exceeded its liabilities by $3,198,648. This figure compares to $2,978,827 at December 31, 2004. The increase in net assets between 2004 year end and September 30, 2005, is attributable primarily to retained earnings from operations in 2005.
Management considers the Company’s liquidity and capital resources adequate to meet the Company’s current and foreseeable general and administrative expenses, and other internal needs. Management believes such liquidity and resources to be sufficient, moreover, to support the Company’s limited ongoing business operations, such as continued production from the Company’s existing wells, and a limited program for reworking selected wells.
The Company’s liquidity, however, is highly dependent upon market prices for oil and gas. Those prices have a history of rapid and dramatic fluctuation. Management’s assessments of the Company’s liquidity, therefore, must be qualified in recognition of instability in the market prices for the Company’s products. A change in those prices can be expected to have a material effect upon the Company’s liquidity.
Except as described above, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources are inadequate to support significant expansion of the Company’s business, and are insignificant in comparison to other participants in the industry. As a result, the Company is, and expects to remain, dependent upon possible industry partners or outside sources of capital. Management is unable to predict the availability of such partners or such capital, or the terms, if any, that might govern the Company’s participation with such partners or the Company’s access to such capital.
Results of Operations
The Company holds a 27.5% after-payout working interest in 43 wells drilled under the Company’s 1996 drilling agreement with Prima Oil & Gas Company (the “Unioil/Prima Agreement”). See Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4. At December 31, 2004, 22 of the 43 wells had reached payout. This compares to 19 of the 43 wells having reached payout at September 30, 2004. Between 2004 year end and September 30, 2005, four additional wells reached payout. As a result, a total of 26 of the 43 wells had reached payout as of the end of the first nine months of 2005.

The Company’s revenues from previously drilled wells were $406,533 and $1,179,991 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $277,880 and $662,944 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The increases in revenues for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, are attributable primarily to the increase in the number of wells that had reached payout under the Unioil/Prima Agreement and to increases in the prices of oil and natural gas.
Costs of production were $96,805 and $274,948 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $78,681 and $278,332 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The increase in such costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the corresponding period of 2004, are attributable primarily to an increase in expenditures for repairs and maintenance at existing well locations.
The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $184,111 and $540,624 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $57,854 and $180,841 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The increases in these expenses for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, are attributable primarily to increases in legal fees and other professional expenses, and consulting fees.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses were $48,203 and $154,751 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $45,887 and $131,665 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The increases are primarily a result of increases in the number of wells that had reached payout under the Unioil/Prima Agreement.
Interest and other expenses were $110 and $351 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $931 and $2,897 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The decreases in these expenses for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, are attributable primarily to reductions in the outstanding balance of the Company’s indebtedness to Ford Credit Corporation. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” above.
The Company had net incomes of $81,526 and $219,821 in the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. These figures compare to $84,967 and $39,123 in the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, is attributable primarily to increases in general and administrative expenses, as described above. Those increases in expenses, however, were somewhat offset by increases in revenues. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to 2004, is attributable primarily to increases in revenues for the reasons described above.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The person who performs the functions of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing of this report (the "Evaluation Date"), has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure the timely collection, evaluation,
3
and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and elsewhere in this Report, and in the Company’s other periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
In some cases, one can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other, similar terminology.
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company will obtain or have access to adequate financing for each successive phase of its operations or growth, that there will be no material, adverse competitive or technological change affecting the Company’s business, that the Company’s executive officers and other significant employees will remain employed as such by the Company, and that there will be no material, adverse change in the Company’s operations or business, or in governmental regulation affecting the Company. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, management cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Moreover, neither management nor any other persons assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements.
