PART I

 

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

As used herein the terms “Allied,” “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to Allied Resources, Inc., and our predecessors, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Corporate History

Allied was incorporated as “General Allied Oil and Gas Co” on April 15, 1979 in West Virginia. The company’s name was changed to “Allied Resources, Inc.” on August 12, 1998. On February 26, 2002, we incorporated a new company by the name of “Allied Resources, Inc.” in Nevada for the purpose of merging the West Virginia company with the Nevada company. The transaction resulted in the Nevada corporation surviving the merger as the sole remaining entity. The purpose of the transaction was to remove Allied’s domicile to a jurisdiction with tested corporate legislation and to reduce corporate maintenance costs. The merger was completed on April 5, 2002. Pursuant to the merger, shareholders of the West Virginia corporation received one share of the Nevada corporation for each share held in the West Virginia corporation.

Allied’s principal place of business is located at 1403 East 900 South, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84105. Our telephone number is (801) 582-9609. Our registered statutory office is located at 920 Sierra Vista Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

Allied trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “ALOD”.

The Company

Allied is an independent oil and natural gas producer involved in the exploration, development, production and sale of oil and gas derived from properties located in Calhoun and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia, and Goliad, Edwards and Jackson Counties, Texas.
 

West Virginia Well Information

Allied owns varying interests in a total of 145 wells in West Virginia on several leases held by an independent operator. Some leases contain multiple wells. All the wells in which we have an interest are situated on developed acreage spread over 3,400 acres in Ritchie and Calhoun Counties. Depth of the producing intervals varies from 1,730 ft to 5,472 ft. Allied believes that operating in West Virginia has certain advantages over other locations, including:
 

·     

relatively inexpensive drilling and completion operations, and


·     

the absence of poisonous gas often associated with oil and gas production.


Many of our wells are situated on the same leases and as such share production equipment in order to minimize lease operating costs.

Our working interest is defined as interest in oil and gas that includes responsibility for all drilling, developing, and operating costs varying from 18.75% to 75%. Our net revenue interest is defined as that portion of oil and gas production revenue after deduction of royalties, varying from 15.00% to 65.625%. The distribution of our interests in West Virginia oil and gas leases is detailed below:

West Virginia Operator

Our West Virginia wells are maintained and operated by Allstate Energy Corporation (“Allstate”), a local operator, under the terms of an operating agreement. Allstate maintains an interest in each of our wells.

The terms of the operating agreement, as amended, grant Allstate the exclusive right to conduct operations in respect to our interests in our wells in exchange for a monthly operating fee for each well and any other costs incurred in normal operation of the wells. Title to all machinery, equipment, or other property attached to the wells under the operating agreement, as amended, belongs to each party in proportion to its interest in each well, as does any amount recovered as the result of salvaging machinery or equipment from the wells. Under the operating agreement, as amended, Allstate is permitted to make capital expenditures on the wells up to $5,000 without notifying Allied of the expense. However, notice of amounts to be spent over $5,000 must be provided to us prior to expenditure for our approval if we own a majority interest in the specific well. Likewise, the abandonment of wells must be approved by the party holding a majority interest in the specific well to be abandoned. Allstate is entitled pursuant to the operating agreement, as amended, to establish an escrow account to withhold up to 25% of the net income on any particular well up to $5,000 to be used for capital improvement of the wells or if necessary plugging the wells. The operating agreement, as amended, prohibits us from selecting an operator of the wells other than Allstate unless we are prepared to purchase Allstate’s interest in each specific well at fair market value. The surrender of leases under the operating agreement, as amended, can only be accomplished in the event that both Allied and Allstate consent to such surrender. Finally, we cannot sell our interest in any of the wells unless we first offer to sell such interests to Allstate on the same terms as are proposed for a third party purchaser.
 

West Virginia Acquisitions

Allied’s interests in our West Virginia oil and gas properties are the direct result of our relationship with Allstate. The majority of our West Virginia oil and gas interests, approximately 90 wells, were acquired as part of the Ashland Properties acquisition. Allstate prepared a bid package that was presented to Ashland Exploration, Inc., the seller of the wells, for consideration in competition with several other bidders for the properties. Allstate submitted the bid under the pretext that, should it be successful in its bid, Allied would participate in a shared interest in the acquisition. Allied’s other interests in wells outside of the Ashland Properties were the result of agreeing to a percentage interest through Allstate farm out arrangements, individual well/lease assignments, and drilling agreements spanning the time period from 1981 to 2002. We were not furnished with any engineering reports prior to purchasing interests in our oil and gas properties.

Allied’s oil and gas interests in West Virginia in the aggregate currently produce on average of 58.6 STBO and 8,605 MCFG per month.

Texas Well Information

Beginning in 2007 Allied embarked on an acquisition program to increase oil and gas reserves by purchasing non-operated interests in oil and gas producing properties within the United States. The defined criteria for selecting acquisitions includes short term return on investment, long term growth in cash flows, and development potential.

Allied owns varying interests in a total of 13 wells in Texas on four leases held by independent operators. All the wells in which we have an interest are situated on developed acreage spread over 2,510 acres in Goliad, Edwards and Jackson Counties. Depth of the producing intervals varies from 7,600 ft to 9,600 ft.

Texas Operators

Each of our Texas acquisitions has a different operator. A brief description of the operators is as follows:

·     

Hankey Oil Company of Houston, Texas, was founded in 1981. Since inception they focused their efforts on the Texas Gulf Coast. Hankey utilize s a 3D geophysical workstation technology to develop their drilling prospects.


·     

Magnum Producing, LP of Corpus Christi, Texas, has been operation along South Texas and the Gulf Coast since the mid-1980s. Magnum has 15 employees and operates approximately 150 wells.


·     

Marquee Corporation of Houston, Texas, became involved in the oil and gas business in 1981. Marquee has 4 full-time employees operating approximately 100 wells. Zinn Petroleum Co . is the operating arm of the company.


·     

Marshall & Winston, Inc. of Midland, Texas, began as a royalty company in 1928. Marshall currently operate s approximately 100 wells in and around the Midland area, and has 14 employees.


Texas Acquisitions

On May 1, 2007 Allied acquired an interest in the Harper #2 well located within the Ramon Musquiz Survey, A-29, Goliad, Texas from Spanish Moss Energy Company, LLC. The Harper #2 well is operated by Hankey Oil Company and produces oil and gas from the Wilcox formation.

On August 1, 2007 Allied acquired interests in the ten properties located in Sections 24, 41, 42 and 46 of the CCSD & RGNG RR Co. Survey, Edwards County, Texas from Rischco Energy, Inc. The acquisition included an interest in the pipeline gathering system connected to five of the wells. The properties are operated by Marshall & Winston, Inc. and produces oil and gas from the Frances Hill (Penn Lower) field in the Canyon Sands formation.

On October 1, 2007 Allied acquired an interest in the Williams #1 well located within the John Alley Survey, A-3, Jackson County, Texas from Benchmark Oil and Gas Company. The Williams #1 well is operated by Magnum Producing, LP and produces oil and gas from the Wilcox formation.
 
On October 1, 2007 Allied acquired an
interest in the Brinkoeter #4 well located within the V. Ramos Survey, A-241, Goliad County, Texas from Tyner Exploration, Inc. and Clendon B. Caire. The Brinkoeter #4 well is operated by Marquee Corporation and produces oil and gas from the Massive formation.

Allied’s oil and gas interests in Texas in the aggregate currently produce on average of 231 STBO and 1,820 MCFG per month.

Competition

The exploration for and development and production of oil and gas is subject to intense competition.  The principal methods of competition in the industry for the acquisition of oil and gas leases are:


 

·     

the payment of cash bonuses at the time of acquisition of leases,


·     

delay rentals,


·     

location damage supplement payments, and


·     

stipulations requiring exploration and production commitments by the lessee.  


Companies with greater financial resources, existing staff and labor forces, equipment for exploration, and experience are in a better position than us to compete for such leases. In addition, our ability to market any oil and gas which we might produce could be severely limited by our inability to compete with larger companies operating in the same area, which may be willing or able to offer oil and gas at a lower price.
 
In addition, the availability of a ready market for oil and gas will depend upon numerous factors beyond our control, including:


 

·     

the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and gas,


·     

proximity and capacity of pipelines,


·     

the effect of federal and state regulation of oil and gas sales, and


·     

environmental restrictions on exploration and usage of oil and gas prospects that will become even more intense in the future.  


We have a minimal competitive position in the oil and gas industry.

Competition in West Virginia

Allied competes against over 500 independent companies in West Virginia, many with greater financial resources and larger staffs than those available to us. Operators such as Exxon, Shell Oil, Conoco-Phillips and others considered major players in the oil and gas industry no longer operate any significant interests in West Virginia. However, West Virginia hosts approximately 40 significant independent operators including NiSource, Equitable, Energy Corporation of America, Cabot Oil and Gas, and Dominion Appalachian with over 450 smaller operations with no single producer dominating the area.
 

7



We believe that we can successfully compete against the independent companies by focusing our efforts on the efficient development of our leases in West Virginia by maximizing our production without a significant increase in operating costs.
 

Competition in Texas

The situation in Texas is somewhat different, where Allied competes against thousands of companies. There continue to be numerous major players, including Occidental Permian, Kinder Morgan, Apache, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, and BP America operating in Texas. While these major players do not dominate the areas in which we have interests, several of the counties do have significant producers.
 
There are several significant independent gas producers in Edwards County, including Newfield Exploration, Dominion Oklahoma, and Range Production. Only a few oil producers operate in Edwards County. Our Edwards County operator,
Marshall & Winston, Inc., is one of the largest gas and oil producers in the county.
 
There are numerous significant independent oil and gas producers in Goliad County, including Petrohawk
Operating, Chesapeake Operating, T-C Oil, Ventex Operating, Charro Operating, and KCS Resources.
 
There are several significant gas producers in Jackson County, including Tri-C Resources, Cypress E & P, Jamex, Vintage Petroleum, and Cox & Perkins Exploration. There are several significant oil producers in Jackson County, including Vintage Petroleum, Hilcorp Energy, Sue-Ann Operating, Premier Natural Resources, and SE USA Operating.

Marketability

The products sold by Allied, natural gas and crude oil, are commodities purchased by many distribution and retail companies. Crude oil can be easily sold whenever it is produced subject to transportation cost. The crude oil produced on our behalf is transported by truck from the collection points to the purchaser. Natural gas on the other hand can be more difficult to sell since transportation from point of production to the purchaser requires a pipeline. Most of our current gas production interests are transported by pipelines owned by the purchasers. We own an interest in the pipeline gathering system connected to five of our wells in Edwards County, Texas.

Allstate sells our gas production interest in West Virginia to three main purchasers, Dominion Field Services, and Equitable Resources, and Mountaineer Gas Co. The gas is sold utilizing two different forms of contracts. One, characterized as a fixed contract that determines a certain price for gas over a fixed period of time, usually 90 days and a spot price contract, which markets the production to the purchaser willing to pay the highest price for the production on a month to month basis at prices ranging from $1.75 MCF (fixed contract price) to $8.54 MCF during the year ended 2007. Any gas production not sold according to fixed gas purchase agreements is sold on the spot price market. Allstate had fixed contracts with Dominion Field Services to sell 10,000 MCF per month averaging 500 MCF’s a day from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 at $8.10 per MCF and to sell 5,000 MCF’s a day from April 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 at $8.50 over the term of the contracts with additional volume sold at market price.
 

Allstate sells our oil production interest to West Virginia Oil Gathering at the market price on the day of pick up. Prices for oil production ranged from $48.78 bbl to $89.17 bbl during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

8



 Our independent Texas operators (Hankey, Marquee, and Magnum) sell our oil production to certain purchasers including Gulfmark Energy (Hankey), Shell Trading Company (Magnum) and TEPCCO Crude Oil LP (Marquee) at prices determined by base or spot pricing as a percentage of the oil index price. The sale prices for Allied’s oil production interests in Texas during 2007 varied significantly between $57.25 and $92.92 per barrel over the period.

Gas and gas condensate is sold to Houston Energy Services Company LLC (Hankey), BML, Inc., and Enterprise Products Partners LP (Winston), Acock Operating Limited (Magnum) and dcpMidstream LP at prices determined by the Houston Ship Channel price or spot pricing less pipeline carrying costs and dehydration fees as applicable. The sale prices for Allied’s gas production in Texas fluctuated between $4.48 and $7.90 in 2007.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements and Labor Contracts

Allied currently operates under and holds no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or concessions. Allied is not subject to any labor contracts. Each of Allied’s leases are subject to royalty payments.

Governmental and Regulation of Exploration and Production

Allied’s oil and gas exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. Operations, which sometimes occur on public lands, may be subject to regulation by, among other state and federal agencies, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Forest Service. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or interpreted differently by regulatory agencies, we are unable to accurately predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws.

Allied’s oil and gas exploration and production operations are affected by state and federal regulation of oil and gas production, federal regulation of gas sold in interstate and intrastate commerce, state and federal regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, state limits on allowable rates of production by a well or pro-ration unit and the amount of oil and gas available for sale, state and federal regulations governing the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities, and state and federal regulation governing the marketing of competitive fuels. For example, a productive gas well may be “shut-in” because of an over-supply of gas or lack of an available gas pipeline in the areas in which we may conduct operations. State and federal regulations generally are intended to prevent waste of oil and gas, protect rights to produce oil and gas between owners in a common reservoir, control the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production and control contamination of the environment. Pipelines are subject to the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local agencies.
 

Many state authorities require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations, and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and gas. Such states also have ordinances, statutes, or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells, and limitations establishing maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells. Although no West Virginia regulations provide such limitations with respect to our operations certain limitations are in place in Texas.

Environmental Regulation

The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation has been generally toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. Allied does not presently anticipate that we will be required to expend amounts relating to our oil and gas production operations that are material in relation to our total capital expenditure program by reason of environmental laws and regulations. However, because such laws and regulations are subject to interpretation by enforcement agencies and are frequently changed by legislative bodies, Allied is unable to accurately predict the ultimate cost of such compliance for 2008.
Allied is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and areas containing threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species, and impose substantial liabilities for unauthorized pollution resulting from our operations.

The following environmental laws and regulatory programs appeared to be the most significant to Allied’s operations in 2007, and are expected to continue to be significant in 2008:

Clean Water and Oil Pollution Regulatory Programs

The Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters. The discharge of crude oil and petroleum products to surface waters also is precluded by the Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”). Our operations are inherently subject to accidental spills and releases of crude oil and drilling fluids that may give rise to liability to governmental entities or private parties under federal, state or local environmental laws, as well as under common law. Minor spills occur from time to time during the normal course of Allied’s production operations. We maintain spill prevention control and countermeasure plans (“SPCC plans”) for facilities that store large quantities of crude oil or petroleum products to prevent the accidental discharge of these potential pollutants to surface waters. As of December 31, 2007, we have undertaken all investigative or remedial work required by governmental agencies to address potential contamination by accidental spills or discharges of crude oil or drilling fluids.

Clean Air Regulatory Programs

Allied’s operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”), and state implementing regulations. Among other things, the CAA requires all major sources of hazardous air pollutants, as well as major sources of certain other criteria pollutants, to obtain operating permits, and in some cases, construction permits. The permits must contain applicable Federal and state emission limitations and standards as well as satisfy other statutory and regulatory requirements. The 1990 Amendments to the CAA also established new monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to provide a reasonable assurance of compliance with emission limitations and standards. Allied currently obtains construction and operating permits for its compressor engines, and is not presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard.

 

10


Waste Disposal Regulatory Programs

Allied’s operations generate and result in the transportation and disposal of large quantities of produced water and other wastes classified by EPA as “non-hazardous solid wastes”. The EPA is currently considering the adoption of stricter disposal and clean-up standards for non-hazardous solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). In some instances, EPA has already required the clean up of certain non-hazardous solid waste reclamation and disposal sites under standards similar to those typically found only for hazardous waste disposal sites. It also is possible that wastes that are currently classified as “non-hazardous” by EPA, including some wastes generated during our drilling and production operations, may in the future be reclassified as “hazardous wastes”. Because hazardous wastes require much more rigorous and costly treatment, storage, transportation and disposal requirements, such changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the current waste disposal regulations would result in significant increases in waste disposal expenditures by us.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”)

CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to have caused or contributed to the release or threatened release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or past owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that transported disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances under CERCLA. These persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources. Allied is not presently aware of any potential adverse claims in this regard.

West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection Office of Oil and Gas

The State of West Virginia has promulgated certain legislative rules pertaining to exploration, development and production of oil and gas that are administered by the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection Office of Oil and Gas. The rules govern permitting for new drilling, inspection of wells, fiscal responsibility of operators, bonding wells, the disposal of solid waste, water discharge, spill prevention, liquid injection, waste disposal wells, schedules that determine the procedures for plugging and abandonment of wells, reclamation, annual reports and compliance with state and federal environmental protection laws. Allied believes that all wells in which we have an interest are operated by Allstate in a manner that is in compliance with these rules.

 

The Railroad Commission of Texas, Oil and Gas Division

The Railroad Commission of Texas, through its Oil and Gas Division, works to prevent the waste of oil, gas, and geothermal resources and to prevent the pollution of fresh water from oil and gas operations. The division issues drilling permits and reviews and approves oil and gas well completions. It also regulates underground injection of fluids in oil field operations, a program approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The division further oversees well plugging operations, site remediation, underground hydrocarbon storage, and hazardous waste management. Allied believes that all wells in which we have an interest are operated in a manner that is in compliance the division.

Health and Safety Regulatory Programs

Allied’s operations also are subject to regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) regarding worker and work place safety. We have been assured that our independent operators currently provide health and safety training and equipment to their employees and have adopted corporate policies and procedures to comply with OSHA’s workplace safety standards.

Exploration Activities

Allied spent no amounts on exploration activities during either of the last two fiscal years.

Employees

Allied has engaged its chief executive officer, Ruairidh Campbell, and one other support person, on a part time basis. Mr. Campbell spends approximately 18 hours a week providing services to Allied. Our independent operators are responsible for conducting oil and gas operations tied to our interests. Management uses oil and gas consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary and does not plan to engage any full-time employees in the near future.

Reports to Security Holders

Allied’s annual report contains audited financial statements. We are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and will not automatically deliver a copy of the annual report to our security holders unless a request is made for such delivery. We file all of our required reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The public may read and copy any materials that are filed by Allied with the Commission at the Commission’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The statements and forms filed by us with the Commission have also been filed electronically and are available for viewing or copy on the Commission maintained Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The Internet address for this site can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
 

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this annual report. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

12


Risks Related to the Company’s Business

We have a history of significant operating losses, which losses may reoccur in the future.


Since our inception in 1979, our expenses have often exceeded our income, resulting in losses and an a
ccumulated deficit of $6,368,780 at December 31, 2007. Although we have recorded a net income of $145,722 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, we may return to operating losses in the future if revenues decline as the result of depleted oil and gas resources or price decreases, combined with the increased operating expenses that can be anticipated from aging wells. Our expectation of continued profitability depends on the sustainability of current energy prices and our ability to increase production through exploration, development or acquisition. Allied’s success in this continued endeavor can in no way be assured.
 

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile. Any substantial decrease in prices would adversely affect our financial results.


Allied’s future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties depend primarily upon the prices we receive for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Allied’s cash flow from operations is highly dependent on the prices we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of Allied’s cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:
 

·     

the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas;


·   the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;

·   the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

·   the price of foreign oil and natural gas;

·   domestic governmental regulations and taxes;

·   the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;

·   weather conditions;

·   market uncertainty;

·   political conditions or hostilities in energy producing regions, including the Middle East; and

·   worldwide economic conditions.


These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not only reduce revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that Allied can produce economically and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and reserves. Should the oil and natural gas industry experience significant price declines, Allied may, among other things, be unable to meet our financial obligations or make planned expenditures.
 

13


Allied’s future performance depends on our ability to find or acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves.


Unless Allied successful
ly replaces the reserves that it produces, defined reserves will decline, resulting in a decrease in oil and natural gas production, that will produce lower revenues, in turn decreasing cash flows from operations. Allied has historically obtained the majority of its reserves through acquisition. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Allied may not be able to obtain the necessary capital to acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves if cash flows from operations are reduced, and access to external sources of capital is unavailable. Should Allied not make significant capital expenditures to increase reserves it will not be able to maintain current production rates and expenses will overtake revenue.
 

The results of our operations are wholly dependent on the production and maintenance efforts of independent operators.


The operation and maintenance of our oil and natural gas operations is wholly dependent on independent local operators. While the services provided by operators of our properties in the past have proven adequate for the successful operation of our oil and natural gas wells, the fact that we a
re dependent on operations of third parties to produce revenue from our assets could restrict our ability to continue generating a net profit on operations.

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.


The mark
et for our common stock is limited due to low trading volumes and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day. Due to these limitations there is volatility in the market price and tradability of our stock, which may cause our shareholders difficulty in selling their shares in the market place.
 

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.


Pursuant to Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our shareholders could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Allied does not pay dividends.

Allied does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

 

14


 

The return of investor's capital contributions is not guaranteed.

Allied’s shares are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. There can be no guarantee that shareholders will realize a substantial return on an investment, or any return at all, or that he or she will not lose their entire investment. For this reason, each investor should read this Form 10-K/A-2 carefully and should consult with his or her legal counsel, accountant(s), or business advisor(s) prior to making any investment decision.

Allied may require additional capital funding.

There can be no guarantee that we will not require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.
 

If the market price of our common stock declines as the selling security holders sell their stock, selling security holders or others may be encouraged to engage in short selling, depressing the market price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling security holders sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold it short. Significant short selling of a company’s stock creates an incentive for market participants to reduce the value of that company’s common stock. If a significant market for short selling our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could be significantly depressed.

Allied’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

Allied’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
 

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

 

 

15


Since Allied’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

·     

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;


·     

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;


·     

“boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;


·     

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and


·     

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Productive Wells and Acreage

Ritchie and Calhoun Counties, West Virginia

Allied owns 145 gross wells and 101 net wells in West Virginia as of September 23, 2008. The wells are located on 3,400 gross acres and approximately 2,377 net acres. Allied has no plans at this time to purchase or drill additional wells in West Virginia.
 

Goliad, Edwards and Jackson Counties, Texas

Allied owns 13 gross wells and 0.83 net wells in Texas as of September 23, 2008. The wells are located on 2,510 gross acres and approximately 206.45 net acres. Allied has no plans at this time to purchase or drill additional wells in Texas.

Drilling Activity

Allied has drilled no productive or dry exploratory or developmental wells in the last three fiscal years.

Present Activities

As of the date of this current report on 10-K/A-2, Allied is not in the process of drilling wells, installing waterfloods, performing pressure maintenance operations, or performing any other related operations of material importance.

Delivery Commitments

Allied is not obligated to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas in the near future under existing contracts or agreements.

Undeveloped Acreage

All acreage on which Allied maintains an interest in oil and gas wells is to be considered developed acreage.

Undeveloped acreage is considered to be those lease acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas regardless of whether or not such acreage contains proved reserves. Undeveloped acreage should not be confused with undrilled acreage held by production under the terms of a lease.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Oil and gas reserves for our properties have been evaluated as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 by Sure Engineering LLC.

 

17



 

Reserve calculations by independent petroleum engineers involve the estimation of future net recoverable reserves of oil and gas and the timing and amount of future net revenues to be received therefrom. Those estimates are based on numerous factors, many of which are variable and uncertain.  Reserve estimators are required to make numerous judgments based upon professional training, experience, and educational background.  The extent and significance of the judgments in them are sufficient to render reserve estimates inherently imprecise.  Since reserve determinations involve estimates of future events, actual production, revenues and operating expenses may not occur as estimated.  Accordingly, it is common for the actual production and revenues later received to vary from earlier estimates.  Estimates made in the first few years of production from a property are generally not as reliable as later estimates based on a longer production history.  Reserve estimates based upon volumetric analysis are inherently less reliable than those based on lengthy production history.  Also, potentially productive gas wells may not generate revenue immediately due to lack of pipeline connections and potential development wells may have to be abandoned due to unsuccessful completion techniques.  Hence, reserve estimates may vary from year to year.
 

The following table set forth the estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves of our properties for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Reserve Quantity Information (Unaudited)

The estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves disclosed in the table below are based on appraisal of the proved developed properties by Sure Engineering, LLC. Such estimates are inherently imprecise and may be subject to substantial revisions.
 
All quantities shown in the table are proved developed reserves and are located within the United States.

Oil and Gas Titles

As is customary in the oil and gas industry, we perform only a perfunctory title examination at the time of acquisition of undeveloped properties.  Prior to the commencement of drilling, in most cases, and in any event where we are the operator, a title examination is conducted and significant defects remedied before proceeding with operations.  We believe that the title to our properties is generally acceptable to a reasonably prudent operator in the oil and gas industry.  The properties owned by us are subject to royalty, overriding royalty, and other interests customary in the industry, liens incidental to operating agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements, and restrictions.  We do not believe that any of these burdens materially detract from the value of the properties or will materially interfere with their use in the operation of our business.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this current report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this current report. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Discussion and Analysis

Allied intends to utilize net cash flow from operations to continue to acquire additional oil and gas producing properties and to implement improved production practices on existing wells to increase production and expand reserves where practicable. Allied believes that it can achieve production growth while expanding reserves through improved exploitation of its existing inventory of wells by disposing of non-productive wells and enhancing producing wells. An evaluation for this objective of our existing portfolio of oil and gas properties is now under consideration. Allied also intends to continue to expand non-operated acquisitions of additional oil or gas producing properties.
 
Recovery from producing
wells is consistently evaluated to consider cost-efficient work-over methods designed to improve the performance of the wells. When considering the drilling of new wells, we conduct a geological review of the prospective area, in cooperation with our independent operator, to determine the potential for oil and gas. Our own consultants then review available geophysical data (generally seismic and gravity data) opine as to the prospect for success. In the event that our evaluation of available geophysical data indicates that the target has significant accumulations of oil and gas, we then consider the economic feasibility of drilling. The presence of oil and gas for any specific target cannot guarantee economic recovery. Production depends on many factors including drilling and completion costs, the distance to pipelines and pipeline pressure, current energy prices, accessibility to the site, and whether the project is developmental or solely a wildcat prospect.

Allied’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties certain of which can have an immediate impact on its efforts to realize positive net cash flow and deter future prospects of production growth. Historically Allied has not been able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain operations and fund necessary exploration or development costs. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the wells currently producing will provide sufficient cash flows to continue to sustain operations. Should Allied be unable to continue to generate sufficient cash flow from existing properties, Allied may have to sell certain properties or interests in such properties or seek financing through alternative sources such as the sale of its common stock.

 

21


Allied’s financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties depends primarily upon the prices it receives for oil and natural gas production and the quantity of that production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. This price volatility can immediately affect Allied’s available cash flow which can in turn impact the availability of net cash flow for future capital expenditures. A drop in oil and natural gas prices could also incur a write down of the carrying value of our properties as can a decrease in production. Allied’s future success will depend on the level of oil and natural gas prices and the quantity of its production. Since production leads to the depletion of oil and gas reserves, Allied’s ability to develop or acquire additional economically recoverable oil and gas reserves is vital to its future success. Unless Allied can obtain additional reserves, its current production will decline which will lead to a significant reduction in revenue.

 

Results of Operations
 

During the period from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2007, Allied was engaged in evaluating acquisition opportunities, drilling, examining the operating efficiencies of existing wells, disposing of non-productive wells, overseeing the operation of its oil and gas assets by an independent operators and acquiring oil and gas producing assets. The operation and maintenance of Allied’s oil and gas operations is wholly dependent on the services provided by five different independent operators. While the services provided by these operators has proven adequate, the fact that Allied is dependent on the operations of third parties to maintain its operations and produce revenue can restrict its ability to realize a net profit.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 Allied realized a net profit from operations as a result of consistently favorable oil and gas prices in combination with bringing new production online through acquisition. Allied believes that the immediate key to its ability to remain profitable is that oil and gas prices remain stable at current levels, that general and administrative and production expenses are constantly evaluated to mitigate increases in operating costs and that it continue to seek out revenue producing acquisitions. Should oil and gas prices remain stable and expenses remain relatively consistent, Allied believes that it will most likely continue to operate at a net profit in future periods.

 Gross Revenue

Gross revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 increased to $915,595 from $909,791 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 1%. Oil production increased and gas production decreased, while price s paid for energy remained relatively consistent over the periods. Gross production of oil for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 increased to 1,534 bbls from 612 bbls for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 151% due primarily to the acquisition of additional oil producing properties in 2007. Gross production of gas for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 decreased to 122,750 MCF from 127,562 MCF for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 4%, due to declines in gas production from our West Virginia properties.
 

Average oil and natural gas prices realized decreased from $7.76 per MCFE in 2006 to $7.34 per MCFE in 2007, but recent purchase of oil reserves and substantial increase in oil prices resulted in a small increase in gross revenue over the periods. Allied anticipates that gross revenue will continue to increase as energy prices continue to rise in combination with our efforts to increase current production and acquire additional revenue producing properties.

Net Income

Net income after provision for income taxes for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 was $145,722 as compared to net income after provision for income taxes of $239,180 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 39%. The decrease in net income in the current annual period can be attributed to franchise tax payments to the State of West Virginia in the amount of $45,997, the increase in depletion costs due to the acquisition of new properties in Texas and the increase in production costs. Management expects net income will increase in future periods as franchise tax payments decrease and depletion amounts fall.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 increased to $160,325 from $135,612 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 18%. The increase in general administrative expenses can be attributed to the payment of franchise obligations to the State of West Virginia. Allied anticipates that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively consistent over future periods.

Depletion expenses for the annual periods ended December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006 were $120,350 and $49,246 respectively.

Direct production expenses for the annual periods ended December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006 were $471,037 and $390,420 respectively, an increase of 21%. Direct production expenses include the cost of maintaining the wells imposed by independent operators, severance taxes, miscellaneous expenses for soap, solvent, gasoline or electricity and expenses such as those incurred in swabbing, dozer work or rig time. The increase in direct production costs over the current period can be attributed to those costs associated with the acquisition of new well interests in Texas. Allied expects that direct production expenses will continue to increase over future periods as the ages of our wells increase and we continue to acquire new production.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

As of December 31, 2007 Allied has a net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $2,892,000. Should substantial changes in our ownership occur there would be an annual limitation of the amount of NOL carry forward, which could be utilized. The ultimate realization of these carry forwards is due, in part, on the tax law in effect at the time and future events, which cannot be determined.

 

Impact of Inflation

Allied believes that inflation has had an effect on operations over the past three years in connection with production costs. Allied believes that it can offset inflationary increases in production costs by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow provided by operations for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 was $168,884 as compared to cash flow provided by operations of $343,778 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash flow provided by operations can be primarily attributed to the decrease in net income and in the deferred tax asset over the current period. Allied expects to maintain cash flow provided by operations in future periods and believes that the results of operations for the year ended 2007 will improve in respect to future expectations of cash flow.

 

24



 

Cash flow used in investing activities for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 was $834,945 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Cash flow used in investing activities in the current period were expended on the purchase of interest in 13 oil and gas producing wells situated in four counties in Texas. Allied expects that cash flow used in investing activities may increase in future periods as the company evaluates existing wells, identifies exploration opportunities and considers additional acquisitions.

Cash flow provided by financing was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Allied has a working capital surplus of $579,240 as of December 31, 2007 and has funded its cash needs since inception with revenues generated from operations, debt instruments and private placements. Existing working capital and anticipated cash flow are expected to be sufficient to fund operations in 2008. Allied had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of December 31, 2007. Since any earnings, if realized, are anticipated to be reinvested in operations, cash dividends are not expected to be paid in the foreseeable future. Commitments for future capital expenditures were not material at year-end. Allied has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.

Allied has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

Allied has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No 123R, we measured compensation expense for our employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise price of our employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized.
 
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting for Oil and Gas Property Costs. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, Allied (i) follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the costs of its oil and gas properties, (ii) amortizes such costs using the units of production method and (iii) evaluates its proven properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. Adverse changes in conditions (primarily gas price declines) could result in permanent write-downs in the carrying value of oil and gas properties as well as non-cash charges to operations that would not affect cash flows.

Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves. An independent petroleum engineer annually estimates Allied’s proven reserves. Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. In addition, subsequent physical and economic factors such as the results of drilling, testing, production and product prices may justify revision of such estimates. Therefore, actual quantities, production timing, and the value of reserves may differ substantially from estimates. A reduction in proved reserves would result in an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.

Estimates of Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with SFAS No 143, Allied makes estimates of future costs and the timing thereof in connection with recording its future obligations to plug and abandon wells. Estimated abandonment dates will be revised in the future based on changes to related economic lives, which vary with product prices and production costs. Estimated plugging costs may also be adjusted to reflect changing industry experience. Increases in operating costs and decreases in product prices would increase the estimated amount of the obligation and increase depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Cash flows would not be affected until costs to plug and abandon were actually incurred.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of this statement, but it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 creates a fair value option allowing an entity to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. SFAS 159 also requires an entity to report those financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in a manner that separates those reported fair values from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute on the face of the statement of financial position. Lastly, SFAS 159 requires an entity to provide information that would allow users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value on those instruments selected for the fair value election. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate SFAS 159 and to assess the impact on our results of operations and financial condition if an election is made to adopt the standard.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Allied Resources, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Allied Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Allied Resources, Inc., as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006

.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization

 
Allied Resources, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on April 5, 2002 The Company is primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, producing and selling oil and gas production and properties to companies located in the continental United States.
 

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are amounts due on oil and gas sales and are unsecured. Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus accounts receivable do not bear interest although a finance charge may be applied to such receivables that are more than thirty days past due. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions.
 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
 

Oil and Gas Producing Activities
 

The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas producing activities. Under this method, all costs associated with productive exploratory wells and productive or nonproductive development wells are capitalized while the costs of nonproductive exploratory wells are expensed.

If proved reserves are not found, the capitalized costs of drilling the well are charged to expense. However, if an exploratory well is determined to have found oil and gas reserves, but those reserves cannot be classified as proved when drilling is completed, the capitalized drilling costs are continued to be capitalized if the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The Company does not have any capitalized exploratory well costs that are pending the determination of proved reserves. Indirect exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals are expensed as incurred. Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company’s experience of successful drillings and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the units-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

ALLIED RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Oil and Gas Producing Activities (continued)

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
 
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property has been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
 
The continued carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties depends primarily upon the estimated reserves and the prices it receives for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. The Company’s production quantities of oil and natural gas are in decline. Any decrease in oil and natural gas prices without an offsetting increase in reserve quantities could result in an impairment of the Company’s assets.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or noncurrent, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences result primarily from net operating loss carryforwards, intangible drilling costs and depletion.

Earnings Per Share
 
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.
 
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition
 

Revenue is recognized from oil sales at such time as the oil is delivered to the buyer. Revenue is recognized from gas sales when the gas passes through the pipeline at the well head. The Company believes that both oil and gas revenues should be recognized at these times because ownership of the oil and gas generally passes to the customer at these times. Management believes that this policy meets the criteria of Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 in that there is persuasive evidence of an existing contract or arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company does not have any gas balancing arrangements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions primarily related to oil and gas property reserves and prices, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 – Oil and Gas Properties
 
Oil and gas properties consists of the following:

     2007     2006

     Oil and gas properties (successful efforts method)                     $     8,513,291     7,678,346

     Capitalized costs related to asset retirement obligation                          93,499          89,499

                                                                                                  $      1,282,200          563,605

Note 3 – Deposits

The Company has an operating agreement with one of the operators of the Company’s oil and gas wells. Terms of the agreement allow the operator to withhold a portion of the Company’s share of revenue for possible future costs associated with the wells. The terms of the agreement require that these funds be held in escrow. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounts on deposit were approximately $705,000 and $613,000, respectively.

Note 4 – Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company is subject to certain regulations implemented to protect the environment. These regulations require that when oil and gas wells are abandoned, the owners must perform certain reclamation activities related to the oil and gas wells. Accordingly, a liability has been established equal to the present value of the Company’s estimated pro rata share of the obligation. The Company has no assets that are legally restricted for the purpose of settling this obligation.
 
Following is a reconciliation of the aggregate retirement liability associated with the Company’s obligation to plug and abandon its oil and gas properties:

                                                                          2007          2006

     Balance at beginning of year                 $     149,458     142,341

     Additional obligations incurred                         4,000          -

     Accretion expense                                         7,508         7,117

     Balance at end of year                    $          160,966      149,458

Note 5 – Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount computed at federal statutory rates as follows:

                                                                       2007         2006

     Federal income tax at statutory rate     $     69,000     124,000

                                                              $     63,000     125,000
 

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following:

                                                                     2007           2006

     Net operating loss carryforwards     $     983,000     1,050,000

Note 5 – Income Taxes (continued)

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $2,892,000. If substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur there would be an annual limitation of the amount of NOL carryforward, which could be utilized. Also, the ultimate realization of these carryforwards is due, in part, on the tax law in effect at the time and future events, which cannot be determined.
 
The Company’s NOL amounts and related years of expiration are as follows:

     Year Generated     Amount     Year of Expiration

     1995                 $     558,000     2010

     1996                        162,000     2011

Note 6 – Accrued Tax Liabilities

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and the measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on classification and interest and penalties related to income taxes. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recorded $60,000 of accrued tax liabilities in the balance sheet for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment to the January 1, 2007, balance of accumulated deficit.

The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties as an other expense. The Company had approximately $10,000 for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company settled a portion of its income tax liability for $20,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company:
 

·     

Increased the accumulated deficit and recorded an income tax liability of $60,000 as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 (see Note 6).


·     

Recorded an asset retirement obligation and increased oil and gas properties in the amount of $4,000.


Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables and payables. The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
 

Oil and Gas Operating Agreement
 

The Company has agreements with the operators of the oil and gas wells in which the Company owns an interest. These agreements require the Company to pay a percentage of the fees and production costs of operating the wells.
 

Litigation

Note 11 – Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s oil and gas reserves are continually declining, which will eventually result in a reduction of the amount of oil and gas produced, oil and gas revenues and cash flows. The Company has historically replaced reserves through both drilling and acquisitions, however, there is no assurance that oil and gas reserves can be located through drilling or acquisition or that even if reserves are located, that such reserves will allow the recovery of all or part of the investment made by the Company to obtain these reserves.

The Company’s carrying cost of its oil and gas properties are subject to possible future impairment based on the estimated future cash flows of these properties. These estimated future cash flows are in turn subject to oil and gas prices that are subject to fluctuations and, as a consequence, no assurance can be given that oil and gas prices will decrease, increase or remain stable.

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. FAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The provisions of FAS 157 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 addresses the accounting for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans (“plans”). Specifically, FAS 158 requires companies to recognize an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status and to measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the company’s fiscal year, the offset of which is recorded, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. FAS 158 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007 and applied prospectively. The provisions of FAS 158 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 ("SFAS 159"), "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". Under SFAS 159, companies may elect to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent; the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest; changes in a parent’s ownership interest; and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is required to be adopted prospectively for the first annual and interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect that the adoption of this statement will have on our financial statements.

ITEM 9A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (ITEM 9A (T))

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K/A-2, an evaluation was carried out by Allied’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2007. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
Based on that evaluation,
Allied’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Allied is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Allied’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Allied’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·     

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Allied’s assets;


·     

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors; and


·     

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Allied’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

29


Allied’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which assessment did not identify any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did not identify any material weaknesses, management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2007, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allied’s internal control over financial reporting.

Term of Office
 

Our directors have been elected or appointed to the Board of Directors for a one (1) year term or until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed in accordance with our bylaws. Our sole executive officer was appointed by our Board of Directors and holds office at the discretion of the Board.
  

Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between or among the directors or executive officers.

Director Independence
 

Allied is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. However, for purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15) states that a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Accordingly, we consider Mr. Haidenthaller and Mr. Crow to be independent directors.
 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

The Company may adopt a provision for compensating directors for their attendance at meetings of the board of directors in the future.

ITEM 11.     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to provide compensation for services rendered by our sole executive officer. Salary is currently the only type of compensation we utilize in our compensation program. We utilize this form of compensation because we feel that it is adequate to retain and motivate our executive officer. The amounts we deem appropriate to compensate our executive officer are determined in accordance with market forces; we have no specific formula to determine compensatory amounts at this time. While we have deemed that our current compensatory program and the decisions regarding compensation are easy to administer and are appropriately suited for our objectives, we may expand our compensation program to any additional future employees to include options and other compensatory elements.

Tables

The following table provides summary information for the years 2007, and 2006 concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued by the Company to or on behalf of (i) the chief executive officer and (ii) any other employee to receive compensation in excess of $100,000.
