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, 2010, and the cash flows and results of operations for the three and six
months then ended. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
The results of operations for the three and six months 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
2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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-Q 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;
movements in interest rates; the market price of oil and natural gas; the risks
associated with exploration and production in the Rocky Mountain region; the
Company's ability, or the ability of its operating subsidiary, Altex Oil
Corporation ("AOC"), to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new
properties; 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 and
AOC'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 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash balances declined $443,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010, because
the Company used $153,000 cash in operating activities and invested $290,000 in
the acquisition of a 4.4% override in the Glo Field in Campbell County, Wyoming.
The purchase price was $275,000, but the Company anticipates a total expenditure
of approximately $300,000 to clear minor title defects. The Company is likely to
experience negative cash flow from operations unless and until the Company
invests in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in another venture that
produces cash flow from operations. With the exception of capital expenditures
related to production acquisitions or drilling or recompletion activities or an
investment in another venture that produces cash flow from operations, none of
which are currently planned, the cash flows that could result from such
acquisitions, activities, or investments, and the possibility of a change in the
interest rates the Company realizes on cash balances, the Company knows of no
other trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that
will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company's
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
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 11 , 2010,
the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company regularly assesses its exposure to both environmental liability and
reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense ("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.
Page 5 of 7
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Oil and gas sales increased from nil in the three months ended March 31, 2009,
to $31,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, and from $16,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2009, to $51,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010,
because of higher realized prices and higher quantities sold. Interest income
decreased from $24,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2009, to $12,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 2010, and from $46,000 in the six months ended
March 31, 2009, to $24,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2010, because of
lower interest rates and lower cash balances. At the current level of cash
balances and at current interest rates, the Company's revenue is unlikely to
exceed its expenses. Unless and until the Company invests a substantial portion
of its cash balances in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in one or
more other ventures that produce revenue and net income, the Company is likely
to experience net losses. With the exception of unanticipated RR&D,
unanticipated environmental expense, and possible changes in interest rates, the
Company is not aware of any other known trends or uncertainties that have had or
that the Company reasonably expects will have a material favorable or
unfavorable impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, was $153,000.
Investing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company
expended $290,000 for the acquisition of a 4.4% override in the Glo Field in
Campbell County, Wyoming.
Financing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Company
acquired 68,167 shares of its Common Stock for $11,000.
ITEM 4. 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.
As of the end of the period covered by the 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 that could
significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company
carried out its evaluation.
