NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED, CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March
31, 2003, and the cash flows and results of operations for the six months then
ended. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of
operations for the periods ended March 31 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies
followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB, and it is suggested that these consolidated, condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction therewith.
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE UNITED STATES
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-QSB are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, among others: general economic conditions;
the market prices of oil and natural gas; the risks associated with exploration
and production in the Rocky Mountain region; the Company's ability to find,
acquire, and develop new properties and its ability to produce and market its
oil and gas reserves; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas
business; uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the
projection of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures;
the strength and financial resources of the Company's competitors; the Company's
ability to find and retain skilled personnel; climatic conditions; availability
and cost of material and equipment; delays in anticipated start-up dates;
environmental risks; the results of financing efforts; and other uncertainties
detailed elsewhere herein and in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash balances decreased in the six months ended March 31, 2003, from $2,118,000
to $2,042,000 because the Company used $76,000 cash in operating activities.
The Company is completing the restoration of the area that had contained its
East Tisdale Field in Johnson County, Wyoming. The Company has removed all
equipment from the field and has recontoured and reseeded virtually all
disturbed areas in the field. Barring unforeseen events, the Company does not
believe that the expense associated with any remaining restoration activities
will be material, although this cannot be assured. After its bonds with the
state and the Bureau of Land Management are released, the Company does not
believe it will have any further liability in connection with the field,
although this cannot be assured.
The Company regularly assesses its exposure to both environmental liability and
RR&D. The Company does not believe that it currently has any material exposure
to environmental liability or to RR&D, net of salvage value, although this
cannot be assured.
At current oil and gas prices, production levels, and interest rates, the
Company is likely to experience negative cash flow from operations. With the
exception of capital expenditures related to production acquisitions or drilling
or recompletion activities, none of which are currently planned, the cash flows
that could result from such acquisitions or activities, the current level of
prices and interest rates, and declining production levels, the Company knows of
no trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on the Company's short-term or long-term liquidity. Except for
cash generated by the operation of the Company's producing oil and gas
properties, asset sales, and interest income, the Company has no internal or
external sources of liquidity other than its working capital. At May 5, 2003,
the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Page 5 of 8
Sales increased 68% from $102,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2002
("Q2FY02"), to $171,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 ("Q2FY03"), and 24%
from $220,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2000, to $273,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2003, because of the sharply higher average realized
prices that resulted from uncertainties created by the anticipated and actual
conflict in Iraq. Interest income decreased 39% from $18,000 in Q2FY02 to
$11,000 in Q2FY03 and 35% from $40,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2002,
to $26,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2003, because of lower cash
balances and lower realized interest rates. Lease operating expense decreased
13% from $79,000 in Q2FY02 to $69,000 in Q2FY03 and 18% from $170,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2002, to $139,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2003,
because of reduced repairs and maintenance expense. Production taxes increased
69% from $13,000 in Q2FY02 to $22,000 in Q2FY03 and 26% from $27,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2002, to $34,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2003,
because of increased sales.
LIQUIDITY
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased from
$99,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2002, to $76,000 in the six months
ended March 31, 2003.
Investing Activities. None.
Financing Activities. During Q1FY02 the Company acquired 1,087,500 shares of its
Common Stock for $109,000.
The Company's revenue and earnings are functions of the prices of oil, gas, and
natural gas liquids and of the level of production expense, all of which are
highly variable and largely beyond the Company's control. In addition, because
the quantity of oil and gas produced from existing wells declines over time, the
Company's sales and net income will decline unless rising prices offset
production declines or the Company increases its net production by investing in
the drilling of new wells, in successful workovers, or in the acquisition of
interests in producing oil or gas properties. At current price and interest rate
levels, the Company is likely to record significant net losses. With the
exception of unanticipated variations in production levels, unanticipated RR&D,
unanticipated environmental expense, and possible changes in oil and gas price
levels and interest rates, the Company is not aware of any other trends, events,
or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a
material impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its
judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures
which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding
management's control objectives.
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be
included in the Company's Exchange Act reports. There have been no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company
carried out its evaluation.
