NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on January 27, 1984 with authorized capital stock of 50,000,000 shares at a par value of $0.001. On May 17, 1999 the authorized was increased to 100,000,000 shares and on March 3, 2000 the authorized was increased to 400,000,000 shares with the same par value. On March 26, 2003 the name of the Company was changed from “Ambra Resources Group, Inc. to “Apex Resources Group, Inc.”
The Company has been in the development stage since inception and has been engaged in the business of the acquisition of mining and oil property interests and other business activities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity, at the time of purchase, of less than three months, to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
The Company’s property and equipment consists of the following:
| Office equipment | | | 132,130 | |
| Residential rentals | | | 164,511 | |
| Less accumulated depreciation | | | (113,386 | ) |
| | | | 183,255 | |
Office equipment is depreciated on the straight line method over five and seven years and the residential rentals are depreciated on the straight line method over forty years.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
March 31, 2005
Capitalization of Oil Leases Costs
The Company uses the successful efforts cost method for recording its oil lease interests, which provides for capitalizing the purchase price of the project and the additional costs directly related to proving the properties and amortizing these amounts over the life of the reserve when operations begin or a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value or expensing the remaining balance if it is proven to be of no value. Expenditures for oil well equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim interests acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.
Foreign Currency Translation
Part of the transactions of the Company were completed in Canadian dollars and have been translated to US dollars as incurred, at the exchange rate in effect at the time, and therefore, no gain or loss from the translations is recognized. US dollars are considered to be the functional currency.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due their short term maturities.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
At March 31, 2005, the Company had a net operating loss available for carry forward of $8,412,768. The tax benefit of approximately $2,524,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful because the Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for future years.
The net operating loss carryovers will expire beginning in the years 2004 through 2025.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
For a complete understanding, this Management Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Part I- Item 1. Financial Statements to this Form 10-QSB and the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004.
General
The Company is in the development stage and engaged in the acquisition of interests in gas and oil properties and the acquisition of interests in real estate. The Company has not been engaged in the production of any gas and oil. For a detailed description of the oil and gas and real estate holding of the Company, please see the Annual Report of the Company filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004, and the subsequent Quarterly Reports filed by the Company on Form 10-QSB. Following is a brief description of relevant events that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Recent Developments
Oil and Gas Interests
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
During the quarter, the Company learned that Royal “T” Oil, the operator of the Plaquemines Parish, Bastian Bay Well #16152, turned over its interest in the well to Imperial Petroleum, Inc. Imperial is preparing to do a work over of the well at an estimated cost of $906,800 and has made a cash call to all participants. The participants in the well were given the choice to pay the cash call or continue on a non-consent basis under which the non paying participants relinquish half of their working interest after Imperial has recouped its expenditures. The Company determined to continue on a non-consent basis and will not meet the cash call. This means the Company’s net revenue interest will be reduced from 6.25% to 3.125%.
Henry Dome Prospect, Texas
During the quarter, PB Energy Partners, the operator of the Henry Dome Prospect in McMullen County, Texas, informed the Company that the JB Henry Dome #1 was successfully re-entered and gas was found. The Company owns 2.5 participation units in the Henry Dome Prospect in McMullen County, Texas, for $12,500. These units give the Company a 1.875% working interest in JB Henry Dome #1 well. Initial flow testing of the well demonstrated flow of 1.2 to 1.4 million cubic feet of gas per day. Following initial testing, acid washing of the well was performed to attempt to increase flow rates. Additional flow testing following the acid washing will be performed before results will be announced. The estimated life expectancy of this well is at least six years.
Real Estate Interests
Cowichan Lake, Victoria, B.C.
In January 2005, the Company paid approximately $39,000 toward the purchase price for Lot 4 on Upper Point Ideal Road in the Cowichan Lake District in Victoria B.C. In March 2005, the Company paid approximately $42,000 toward the purchase price of Lot 2. Part of the payment covered various fees and taxes, the remainder was applied to reduce the balance of the purchase price. The Company will pay off the balance of the purchase price of the two lots by making monthly payments for 25 years. The Company acquired these properties for investment purposes and has no present intent to develop or improve these parcels.
The Company also owns approximately 4,854,630 or 7% of the outstanding common shares of Omega Ventures Group, Inc., a corporation whose common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, stock symbol “APXR.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company currently does not have sufficient cash reserves or cash flow from operations to meet its cash requirements. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, the Company financed its operations primarily through the issuance of Company securities and loans from related parties. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company received subscriptions to purchase 18,000,000 shares of its common stock in private placement transactions for cash totaling $2,450,000. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has received $23,000. The Company’s balance sheet reflects the remaining balance as stock subscriptions receivable. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company caused its transfer agent to issue the 18,000,000 shares. These shares, however, are being held in escrow and will only be delivered out as funds are received by the Company. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company did not issue any shares for services or in satisfaction of expenses, as a result, accounts payable to related parties increased to $349,122 compared to $154,574 at December 31, 2004.
On March 31, 2005, the Company had cash on hand of $21,961, as cash flows from operating activities and financing activities were only partially offset by cash flows used in investing activities.
The Company has plans to further develop its oil and gas properties, which will require substantial additional working capital which the Company does not currently have. Moreover, the Company does not anticipate significant revenue from its operating activities in the upcoming quarter.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
The Company sustained a net loss of $177,539 in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to a loss of $86,875 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This increase in loss was primarily the result of the Company being much more active in its business operations in the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004, as shown in the following comparison of expenses:
| | March 31, 2005 | | March 31, 2004 | |
| | | | | |
Travel | | $ | 7,156 | | $ | 4,005 | |
Office Expenses | | | 28,822 | | | 9,614 | |
Professional | | | 13,055 | | | 151 | |
Consultants | | | 84,411 | | | 30,934 | |
Promotional | | | 8,000 | | | 1,054 | |
Rent | | | 15,202 | | | 7,734 | |
| | | | | | | |
Exploration and Development - | | | | | | | |
Oil and Gas | | | -0- | | | 18,906 | |
Other | | | 16,127 | | | 8,605 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | $ | 172,773 | | $ | 81,003 | |
Travel expenses increased $3,151 or 79% to $7,156 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily the result of increased travel in connection with increasing operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The Company anticipates travel expenses to continue at rates consistent with those incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2005.
Office expenses increased $19,208 or 200% to $28,822 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period 2004. This significant increase is partially the result of the Company retaining the services of two individuals to provide administrative and office support services, as well as increasing expenses due to more extensive operations during the third fiscal quarter of 2005 compared to 2004. Office expenses in the future should remain fairly consistent with those experienced during the third fiscal quarter of 2005.
As with travel and office expenses, professional expenses increased $12,904 to $13,055 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004, as accounting and legal expenses continue to increase as a result of more stringent compliance obligations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company expects professionals fees to continue to increase in upcoming fiscal quarters.
Consultants fees increased $53,477 or 173% to $84,411 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to three month period ended March 31, 2004. The Company has no employees, rather management retains consultants to provide the services the Company needs. Again, as a result of increasing operating activities, consulting fees increased in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same three month period of 2004. While the Company expects consultants fees to continue to be greater than 2004 levels, management does not expect to see such significant increases in the immediate future.
Promotional expenses increased $6,946 to $8,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1,054 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This increase in promotional expenses is largely the result of the Company’s efforts to keep its shareholders and the market better informed as to the Company’s activities through a coordinated media campaign. The Company expects promotional expenses to continue to increase in upcoming quarters.
Rent expenses nearly doubled from $7,734 during the three months ended March 31, 2004 to $15,202 during the three months ended March 31, 2005. We do not expect rent expenses to continue to increase at such significant rates in the future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company incurred no expenses for exploration and development, compared to $18,906 during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Company believes this decrease is simply a result of timing issues and anticipates exploration and development expenses in the future will return to the higher levels experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Other expenses increased to $16,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $8,605 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an 87% increase. This increase is primarily due to the increased operating activities of the Company during the 2005 quarter compared to the 2004 quarter. The Company anticipates other expenses to continue at level consistent with the three month ended March 31, 2005.
Revenue from interest and rents remained constant, at $1,234 during the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $1,128 during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Comparison of the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
The Company sustained a net loss of $670,124 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005, compared to a net loss of $311,092 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This increase in loss was primarily the result of the Company being much more active in its business operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period of 2004, as shown in the following comparison of expenses:
| | March 31, 2005 | | March 31, 2004 | |
| | | | | |
Travel | | $ | 61,310 | | $ | 27,691 | |
Office Expenses | | | 102,394 | | | 69,547 | |
Professional | | | 22,915 | | | 15,387 | |
Consultants | | | 320,886 | | | 104,909 | |
Promotional | | | 18,678 | | | 9,801 | |
Rent | | | 56,373 | | | 23,041 | |
Exploration and Development - | | | | | | | |
Oil and Gas | | | 55,414 | | | 35,028 | |
Other | | | 26,455 | | | 8,605 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | $ | 664,425 | | $ | 294,009 | |
Travel expenses increased $33,619 or 121% to $61,310 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily the result of increased travel in connection with increasing operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The Company anticipates travel expenses to continue at rates consistent with those incurred during the first nine months of the 2005 fiscal year.
Office expenses increased $32,847 or 47% to $102,394 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period 2004. This increase is partially the result of the Company retaining the services of two individuals to provide administrative and office support services, as well as increasing expenses due to more extensive operations during the first three fiscal quarters of 2005 compared to 2004. Office expenses in the future should remain fairly consistent with those experienced during the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
Professional expenses went from $15,387 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $22,915 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to increasing accounting and legal expenses incurred by the Company as it seeks to comply with the increasingly more stringent requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Consultants fees increased $215,977 or 206% to $320,886 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to nine month period ended March 31, 2004. The Company has no employees, rather management retains consultants to provide the services the Company needs. The increased in consultants fees is attributable to the Company’s increased operational activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period 2004. While the Company expects consultants fees to continue to be greater than 2004 levels, management does not expect to see such significant increases in the immediate future.
Promotional expenses increased $8,877 to $18,678 during the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $9,801 for the same period of 2004. This increase in promotional expenses is largely the result of the Company’s efforts to keep its shareholders and the market better informed as to the Company’s activities through a coordinated media campaign. The Company expects promotional expenses to continue to increase in upcoming quarters.
Rent expenses increased from $35,028 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $47,082 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005, a 34% increase. We do not expect rent expenses to continue to increase at such significant rates in the future.
Exploration and development expenses increased from $35,028 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $55,414 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005, a 58% increase. This increase is directly related to increase oil and gas prices, and a corresponding increase in exploration activities. The Company expects exploration and development expenses will continue to increase in the future for as long as oil and gas prices remain at current or higher rates.
Other expenses increased to $26,455 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $8,605 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, a 207% increase. This increase is primarily due to the increased operating activities of the Company during the nine months enced March 31, 2005 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The Company anticipates other expenses to continue at level consistent with those experienced during the nine months ended March 31, 2005.
Revenue from interest and rents for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 was $12,301 compared to $3,917 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s principal executive officers and our principal financial officer (the"Certifying Officers") are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluations of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Certifying Officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Certifying Officers have also indicated that there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Management, including the Certifying Officers, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or its internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
