Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation Files Form 10-Q and Announces Quarterly Results
DALLAS, Nov. 17, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation (Nasdaq:GLRP), Dallas, Texas, reported its results for the second quarter ended which showed an increase in oil and gas revenue from $4,315 in the comparative quarter in 2007 to $72,871.
Production and Operating expenses continued to be high at $218,059, because of the fixed cost of developing an operating base.
General Administrative expenses were $697,230, and the non-cash cost of incentive stock options was $683,006, resulting in a net loss for the quarter of $1,532,131, or $0.16 per share.
Chip Langston, President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "During the quarter we continued to simplify and clarify our financial position, which showed an increase in Shareholders' Equity from $3,116,495 to $3,396,858, a 9% increase as compared to March 31, 2008."
Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation has restated results for the six-month period ending September 30, 2007 to reclassify the gain on forgiveness of debt from a related party to equity. This resulted in a change for that six-month period ending September 30, 2007 from reported net income of $1,259,233 to a net loss of $521,477. The restatement also changed our reported earnings-per-share for the six-month period ending September 30, 2007 from earnings of $0.20 per share to a loss of $0.08 per share.
The periodic income statement follows. The income statement is modified by and subject to the remainder of the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements which were included in the Form 10-Q filed November 13, 2008 and are available through the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.
