NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2003, the results of operations for the periods shown in the statements of operations, and the cash flows for the periods shown in the statements of cash flows. All adjustments made are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain amounts in the 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 financial statement presentation. 2. Investment in Related Party The Investment in Related Party at June 30, 2002 represented the Company's investment in Victoria Petroleum, NL ("VP") and was classified as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Net unrealized gains and losses on the investment were recorded to Other Comprehensive Loss. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company sold 5.1 million shares of VP for net proceeds of $56,241. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company repaid its borrowings from Samson Exploration N.L. (See Note 3 below) by tendering the Company's remaining 25 million-share ownership of VP and additional cash consideration. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a cumulative loss of $575,893 on the disposal of VP shares during the nine-months ended March 31, 2003. 3. Borrowings A. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance due on its Wells Fargo Line of Credit totaling $516,000, secured by deeds of trust on various of the Company's oil and gas producing properties. The Line of Credit bore interest at an annual rate of 1.5% over prime, paid monthly. On August 6, 2002 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Samson Exploration N.L. (a related party) and borrowed $500,000. Under the terms of the agreement the Company was required to pay interest at 10% per annum and paid a financing fee of 10% of the borrowed funds. The proceeds from the loan were used to retire the outstanding Line of Credit balance with Wells Fargo. B. On January 24, 2003 the Company borrowed $400,000 from R&M Oil and Gas LTD (a related party). Under the terms of the loan agreement, the note is due on January 31, 2005 and bears interest at 12.5% per annum and is secured by the Company's oil and gas interests in Grady County, Oklahoma. The proceeds from the loan were used to retire and satisfy the outstanding debt to Samson Exploration N.L. and reduce the Company's accounts payable position at the time. C. On February 4, 2003, the Company repaid Samson Exploration N.L. in full including all accrued interest and fees with $327,143.15 in cash and the transfer of the Company's remaining 25,000,000 shares of VP common stock (see Note 2 above). D. On May 5th, 2003, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Barry D. Lasker, President and CEO, and borrowed $200,000. Under the terms of the agreement all outstanding amounts are due on May 4th, 2005 and bear interest at 10% per annum. The proceeds of the loan consisted of $50,000 cash and the forgiveness of approximately $150,000 of unpaid 6 wages and unreimbursed business expenses. The loan is secured by the Company's oil and gas interests in Campbell County, Wyoming. 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this statement and, at this time, cannot reasonably estimate the effect of the adoption of SFAS 143 on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficit of $202,859. This compares to the Company's working capital deficit of $631,012 as of June 30, 2002. The decrease in working capital deficit of $428,153 was primarily the result of the repayment of the Company's short-term obligation to Wells Fargo, and then Samson Exploration N.L., with long-term borrowings from R&M Oil and Gas LTD. This benefit, along with increased accounts receivable and cash on hand, was partially offset by increased accounts payable - trade and accrued liabilities. Accounts payable trade consists primarily of unpaid lease operating expenses and increased as a result of higher workover expenses in Wyoming, of which $73,000 remains unpaid at March 31, 2003. As all costs associated with this field are being paid entirely by the non-operating well participants, the funds are accounted for in our increased receivables. Accrued liabilities consist primarily of deferred salary and unreimbursed expenses since May of 2002 due to Barry D. Lasker. These amounts were converted to a line of credit bearing interest at 10% per annum in May, 2003. In order for the Company to fund its working capital deficit, possible steps could include the sale of oil and gas properties or additional issuances of the Company's common stock. The Company continues to rationalize its overhead requirements and is significantly affected by market fluctuations in the prices it receives for sales of its crude oil and natural gas production. Although the Company has restructured a significant current obligation, its liquidity and ability to fund ongoing operations is contingent upon the prices it receives for its commodity production. A decrease in the market price for crude oil or natural gas, or a decrease in production levels on the Company's oil and gas properties, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company's working capital, results of operations and financial condition. Net cash used by operating activities was $49,276 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $302,342 from cash used by operating activities during the same period of 2002. This decrease in cash used by operating activities resulted primarily from higher margins (oil and gas sales less lease operating expenses) from the Company's oil and gas production activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $17,209 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, versus cash provided of $466,695 for the same period in 2002. During 2003, the Company received $56,241 from the sale of Victoria Petroleum NL ("VP") common stock, versus $544,997 during 2002, and received an additional $20,017 from the sale of non-core, fully depreciated, properties. The Company had capital expenditures totaling $93,467 during the nine-months ended March 31, 2003, versus $78,302 during the same period of 2002, to maintain and enhance the Company's production on several of its core properties. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $72,535 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 versus cash used of $173,678 a year ago. During fiscal 2003, the Company repaid Wells Fargo its outstanding indebtedness of $516,000 and borrowed and repaid, with accrued interest and financing fee, $574,492 from Samson Exploration N.L. pursuant to a line of credit agreement entered into on August 6, 2002. The repayment to Samson Exploration N.L. consisted of $327,143.15 in cash, obtained through a subsequent borrowing of $400,000 from R&M Oil and Gas LTD, and the transfer of the Company's remaining interest in VP. The agreement with R&M Oil and Gas LTD calls for interest at 12.5% per annum and has a maturity date of January 31, 2005. In addition, on May 8th, 2003, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Barry D. Lasker, President and CEO, and borrowed $200,000. Under the terms of the 7 agreement, all amounts outstanding are due on May 4th, 2005 and bear interest at 10% per annum. The proceeds of the loan consisted of $50,000 cash and the forgiveness of approximately $150,000 of unpaid wages and unreimbursed business expenses. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company reported net losses of $513,574 and $927,366 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2003, as compared to net losses of $439,792 and $1,194,148 during the comparable periods of 2002. Current period earnings were significantly affected by the realization of $483,119 and $575,893 of losses during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, resulting from the sale of the Company's remaining interests in VP. These losses had been predominately reflected as part of the Company's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on its Balance Sheet at June 30, 2002. These amounts reflect increases of $299,702 and $171,946 over losses recognized on sales of VP shares during the comparable three and nine month periods of 2002. Excluding these items, the Company's results for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2003 improved $225,920 and $438,728, respectively, as compared to 2002, on the strength of higher oil and gas prices and lower operating expenses. The Company's oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $326,821 compared to $185,013 during the same period of 2002, an increase of $141,808 or 77%. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of higher oil and gas prices received during the quarter. Oil and gas production levels were fairly consistent between the two periods. The Company's revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 were $828,811 as compared to $752,725 during the same period in 2002, an increase of $76,086, or 10%. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of higher oil and gas prices received during the period. Oil and gas production levels were fairly consistent between the two periods. The Company's total expenses for the third quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased $80,342, or 18%, to $357,161 as compared to $437,503 a year ago. The decrease in overall expenses is primarily due to lower exploration, general and administrative costs and lower interest expenses offset by slightly higher lease operating expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total expenses decreased $376,979, or 24%, to $1,162,870 as compared to $1,539,849 a year ago. The decrease in expenses was primarily due to lower lease operating and exploration expenses. No expense for dry holes, abandoned or impaired properties was incurred for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2003. Exploration expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased $24,281. The decrease in costs incurred for the quarter is a result of no exploration activity during the period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, exploration expenses decreased $119,030, or 86%, to $19,222 versus $138,252 a year ago. The decrease in exploration expenses reflects a lower level of exploration activities as the Company's current liquidity difficulties have limited its ability to spend discretionary capital. General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $51,908, or 25%, to $157,239 as compared to $209,147 for the same period a year ago. The Company's general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $56,940, or 8%, to $602,512 from $659,452. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and office expenses. Interest expense and loan fees for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 decreased $20,567, or 59%, to $14,111 from $34,678 a year ago. The decrease is attributable to lower average borrowings outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, interest expense decreased $4,547 or 5%, to $93,924 from $98,471 a year ago. Decreases in interest expense associated with lower average borrowing during this period were offset by loan fees incurred. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. Accordingly, costs associated with the acquisition, drilling and equipping of successful exploratory wells are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs, delay and surface rentals and drilling costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of drilling development wells, both successful and unsuccessful, are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of oil and gas properties, the cost thereof and the 8 accumulated depreciation or depletion are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Depreciation and depletion of capitalized oil and gas properties is computed on the units-of-production method by individual fields as the related proved reserves are produced. A reserve is provided for estimated future costs of site restoration, dismantlement, and abandonment activities, net of residual salvage value, as a component of depletion. Pipeline and facilities are stated at original cost. Depreciation of pipeline and facilities is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the pipeline of twenty years. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated lives ranging from three to seven years. Management periodically evaluates capitalized costs of unproved properties and provides for impairment, if necessary, through a charge to operations. Proved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on a field-by-field basis. If the net capitalized costs of proved properties exceeds the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the property, a provision for impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
