TBX RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2004

 

1.             BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

 

TBX Resources, Inc., a Texas Corporation, was organized on March 24, 1995. The Company’s principal business activity is acquiring and developing oil and gas properties. The Company owns 23 wells and operates another 7 wells located in East Texas. Of the 23 wells located in East Texas, 4 wells are currently producing oil and 2 wells have been designated as injection wells.  The remaining 17 wells are either currently shut-in, scheduled to be brought back into production or are designated as injection wells. Also, the Company has an interest in 6 proven wells in Oklahoma. The Company’s philosophy is to acquire properties with the purpose of reworking existing wells and/or drilling development wells to make a profit. In addition, the Company has sponsored joint venture development partnerships for the purpose of developing oil and gas properties for profit.

 

2.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company’s quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 30, 2003 (including the notes thereto) set forth in Form 10-KSB.

 

In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments except as disclosed herein) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of May 31, 2004, results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the six months ended May 31, 2004 and 2003 have been made. Operating results for the six months ended May 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share- Stock options are excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because they are antidilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncement – In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51”.  Under the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, certain variable interest entities, often referred to as “Special Purpose Entities”, are required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do no have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Interpretation No. 46 is effective for all entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003. The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS Interpretation No. 46 will not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No. 133 to provide clarification on the financial accounting and reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires that contracts with similar characteristics be accounted for on a comparable basis. The standard is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not have any derivative instruments as defined by SFAS No. 149. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 149 will not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

F-5



 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 requires the classification as a liability of any financial instruments with a mandatory redemption feature, an obligation to repurchase equity shares, or a conditional obligation based on the issuance of a variable number of its equity shares. The Company does not have any financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 150. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

3.             SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS:

 

a.               During the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, the Company entered into a management contract with a company in which Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. Under the agreement, the Company performs administrative and drilling supervision services on a well-by-well basis for an agreed upon fee. During the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Company generated approximately $226,500 in revenues from joint venture management fees and incurred expenses of approximately $218,652.  In addition, for the first six months of this fiscal year, the Company recorded deferred income associated with this activity in the amount of $144,693.

 

b.              During the current quarter, the Company completed reworking two East Texas wells at a cost of approximately $175,000. Initial monthly gross production from these wells is projected to be 500 barrels of oil.

 

c.               During the previous fiscal year, the Company obtained operating loans from its president, Mr. Tim Burroughs. The loan balance as of May 31, 2004 is approximately $158,000 (included in loans from affiliates) and is payable on demand at an interest rate of 10% per annum. Interest accrued on the loan for the first six months is $7,706. The loan is secured by the Company’s oil and gas properties. The Company expects to pay back this loan from operating revenue by the end of this fiscal year.

 

d.              In October of 2002, the Company formed and is acting as the general partner for the “Grasslands I, Limited Partnership”. The purpose of the partnership is to acquire ackerage for oil and gas development in the Barnett Shale play in the Fort Worth Basin of Wise County, Texas. The Company is to be reimbursed on a turnkey basis for organization and offering cost, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses. Revenue earned to date is $88,477 offset by expenses of $49,233. As of May 31, 2004 the Partnership advanced the Company approximately $195,000 which it used to fund operations and is included in loans from affiliates. The Company expects to repay the advance from operating revenue by the end of this fiscal year.

 

e.               During the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, the Company wrote-off most of its investment in the Talco Field property in East Texas. The Company wrote-off 75% of the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on the property of approximately $484,424. This was a non-producing property; accordingly there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the previous fiscal year. In addition, the Company abandoned its Union City prospect in Oklahoma. In this regard the Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $191,511. Union City was a non-producing property; accordingly there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the previous fiscal year.

 

F-6



 

f.                 The Company executed an Employment Agreement for three years effective December 1, 1999 with Mr. Tim Burroughs, President. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Burroughs received stock options good for five years from the date of issuance to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock a year for five years at a price which shall not be greater than 50% of the average bid price for the shares during the previous quarter in which the options are exercised. The options are cumulative thus allowing Mr. Burroughs to exercise the options through November 30, 2004 for a total of 2,500,000 shares. As of November 30, 2003, Mr. Burroughs has the option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the options will be recorded as compensation expense when a reasonable estimate of such costs are available or the amount Mr. Burroughs has to pay is known. Based on the formula for calculating the purchase price, material charges to compensation expense may be recorded in future years.  The current management contract has been extended until a new contract can be arranged.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

 

Statements in this report which are not purely historical facts, including statements regarding the Company’s anticipations, beliefs, expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies for the future, may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. All forward-looking statements in this report are based upon information available to us on the date of the report. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from events or results described in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

During the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, the Company abandoned its Talco Field property in East Texas. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related deprecation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $0.6 million. Management is of the opinion that the estimated cost of $1 million to re-work and develop the property would not yield an adequate return on its investment given its limited resources. By abandoning the property, the Company was able to avoid a remedial liability estimated to be approximately $0.2 million. The property was shut-in; accordingly there were no income or expense items associated with this property during the previous fiscal year. The property is currently being leased by a company in which our president, Tim Burroughs is the sole shareholder. The Company will own a 25% working interest in the property after it is developed. Thus, the Company will participate in the potential increased production from this property without incurring any development costs. Management is of the opinion the 25% interest in the developed property may yield net after expense income of approximately $0.4 million in the first full year of production and declining thereafter.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

 

GENERAL: The following is information concerning production from our oil and gas wells, and our productive wells and acreage and undeveloped acreage. Our oil and gas properties are located within the northern part of the east Texas salt basin. The earliest exploration in this area dates back to the early 1920s and 1930s, when frontier oil producers were exploring areas adjacent to the famous “East Texas field” located near the town of Kilgore, Texas. We have leasehold rights in three oil and gas fields located in Gregg, Hopkins, Franklin, Panola, and Wood Counties, Texas. We also acquired several wells and acreages in Oklahoma, which are described below after the Texas properties.

 

RESERVES REPORTED TO OTHER AGENCIES. We are not required and do not file any estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves with reports to any federal authority or agency.

Notes:

 

1. Total Gross Oil Wells were calculated by subtracting 2 wells designated as Injection Wells from the 23 wells owned and/or operated by TBX Resources, Inc as of May 31, 2004.

 

2. Net Productive Oil Wells were calculated by multiplying the working interest held by TBX Resources, Inc. in each of the 21 Gross Oil Wells and adding the resulting products.

 

3. Total Gross Developed Acres is equal to the total surface acres of the properties in which TBX Resources, Inc. holds an Interest.

 

4. Net Developed Acres is equal to the Total Gross Developed Acres multiplied by the percentage of the total working interest held by TBX Resources, Inc. in the respective properties.

 

5. All acreage in which we hold a working interest as of May 31, 2004 had existing wells located thereon; thus all acreage leased by TBX Resources, Inc. may be classified as developed.

ANADARKO BASIN- WESTERN OKLAHOMA

 

No additional working interests were purchased in the current fiscal year. Four of the six wells we currently hold an interest in are producing gas. Although the wells are currently producing natural gas there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so.

 

In addition to the above described wells we own working interests in two lease tracts; one located in Ellis County, Oklahoma with a gross acreage interest of 27.5% in 1,505 acres and the second located in Canadian County, Oklahoma, constituting a gross acreage interest of 20% in 240 acres. The leases were purchased for the sum of $83,700 and $19,200, respectively. The Company also has a 3% interest in 640 acres in Beckham County, Oklahoma.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to the audited financial statements included on Form 10-KSB for the year ended November 30, 2003 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $254,730 for the six months ended May 31, 2004 as compared to an operating loss of. $1,086,535 for the six months ended May 31, 2003. The decrease in the operating loss of $831,805, 76.6%, is discussed below.

 

Revenues – Revenues generated from oil and gas sales and the joint venture management fees increased $181,124, 161.5%, from $112,162 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $293,286 for the six months ended May 31, 2004.

 

During the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Company earned management fees of $226,503 for work performed on the drilling and completion of wells in North Texas. The work is generated from a company in which our president. Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. The Company has no joint venture management fees for the six months ended May 31, 2003.

 

During the six months ended May 31, 2003, the Company generated approximately $112,162 in revenue from oil and gas sales as compared to $66,783 for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The $45,379, 40.5%, decrease is primarily due to the payment of prior years oil runs for the correction of an error by one of the Company’s oil purchasers. During the past six months, oil sales on the Texas properties were approximately the same as last year. The Company completed re-working two East Texas wells and anticipates that these wells will be brought on-line during the third quarter of current fiscal year. The Company anticipates that monthly production from these wells will approximate 500 barrels of oil. The majority of the Texas wells remain shut-in awaiting re-work or the designation as injection wells. Revenue from the Company’s Oklahoma properties is minimal as a result of previous sales of the Company’s interest in the properties and production declines.

Expenses – Total expenses decreased $650,681, 54.3%, from $1,198,697 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $548,016 for the six months ended May 31, 2004.

 

Lease operating and taxes increased $8,395, 18.5%, from $45,307 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $53,702 for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The increase is primarily the result of recurring expenses for the Texas oil wells.

 

During the six months ended May 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses of $218,652 for management of work performed on the organization, drilling and completion of wells in North Texas. The work is generated from a company in which our president. Mr. Burroughs is the sole shareholder. The Company has no joint venture expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2003.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $167,036, 52.5%, from $318,450 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $151,414 for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to the allocation of $124,680 of general and administrative expenses to joint venture expenses and higher compensation and employee related costs, and general expenses offset by lower consulting fees, professional fees, public relations and contract labor expenses.

 

Loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties was $671,197 for the six months ended May 31, 2003. The Company abandoned its Talco Field property in East Texas. The Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $479,686. Management is of the opinion that the estimated cost of $1 million to re-work and develop the property will not yield an adequate return on its investment given its limited resources. In addition, the Company plugged and abandoned its Union City prospect that was located in Oklahoma. In this regard the Company wrote-off the costs of the acreage, wells and related depreciation, depletion and amortization and recorded a loss on abandonment of approximately $191,511. There were no comparable losses for the same period this year.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $39,495, 24.1%, from $163,743 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $124,248 for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The decrease is due to the decrease in Company owned oil and gas properties and a change in the estimate of future lives of our properties. Future charges to depreciation, depletion, and amortization may be substantially higher as a result of increased production or changes in reserve prices and/or quantities.

 

Other Income (Expense) - Other income and (expense) decreased from $393 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to ($7,472) for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The $7,865 decrease is primarily attributable to interest charged on the Company’s approximately $157,000 operating loan from our president, Mr. Tim Burroughs.

 

Provision for Income Taxes –There are no recorded tax benefits for the six months ended May 31, 2004 and for the same period last fiscal year.

 

Net loss – The Company’s net loss decreased approximately $823,940, 75.9%, from $1,086,142 for the six months ended May 31, 2003 to $262,202 for the six months ended May 31, 2004. The decrease in the loss is primarily attributable to the abandonment of the Company’s Talco and Union City properties and to a lesser extent in consulting fees, professional fees, public relations and contract labor offset by higher compensation and employee related costs, and general expenses.

venture management fees and loans from affiliates. The Company’s cash provided from operating activities totaled $170,406 for the six months ended May 31, 2004 while cash used for operating activities totaled $141,372 during the six months ended May 31, 2003. The Company’s capital investments totaled $175,920 and $3,556 for the six months ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE FUTURE.

 

 We want to manage more joint venture limited partnerships. As manager of these drilling programs, we should receive sufficient fees to earn a profit on our work. We expect that fees from this activity will be our primary source of funds in the near future. Also, the Company reworked two East Texas wells. We estimate that these wells may generate net income of approximately $10,000 per month; however, there can be no assurance that such level of production will continue now or in the future, as the well is a new well and current data may prove to be unreliable.

 

In October of 2002 we formed “The Grasslands I, Texas Limited Partnership” in which we are acting as the General Partner for the purpose of acquiring the Wise County acreage for development drilling. TheCompany has a 20% interest in the Partnership and is reimbursed on a turnkey basis for 100% of the organization and offering costs, lease acquisition costs and administrative expenses. In addition, we plan to re-work 8 of our East Texas wells in the coming year which may increase revenue by approximately $300,000 to $360,000 a year. However, there can be no assurance that our planned and projected level of production will materialize in the future.

 

We expect that the principal use of funds in the near future will be from joint venture management fees and oil and gas revenues and developing our oil and gas properties and/or the acquisition of new properties. Based on the aforementioned plans management expects to reduce its losses and generate positive cash flows from operations. However, there can be no assurance that such plans will materialize. In addition, actual results may vary from management’s plans and the amount may be material.

 

We may purchase new oil and gas properties or additional equipment to operate same. Any such additional purchases will be done on an “as needed” basis and will only be done in those instances in which we believe such additional expenditures will increase our profitability. Our ability to acquire additional properties or equipment is strictly contingent upon our ability to locate adequate financing to pay for these additional properties or equipment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the opportunity to buy properties or equipment that are suitable for our investment or that we may be able to obtain financing to pay for the costs of these additional properties or equipment at terms that are acceptable to us. Additionally, if economic conditions justify the same, we may hire additional employees although we do not currently have any definite plans to make additional hires.

 

The oil and gas industry is subject to various trends. In particular, at times crude oil prices increase in the summer, during the heavy travel months, and are relatively less expensive in the winter. Of course, the prices obtained for crude oil are dependent upon numerous other factors, including the availability of other sources of crude oil, interest rates, and the overall health of the economy. We are not aware of any specific trends that are unusual to our company, as compared to the rest of the oil and gas industry.
