1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Brinx Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1998, and issued its initial common stock in February 2001.  The Company holds undeveloped mineral interest located in New Mexico and holds oil and gas interests located in Oklahoma, California, Mississippi and Louisiana.  In 2006, the Company commenced oil and gas production and started earning revenues.  Prior to 2006, the Company was considered a development stage company as defined by FASB ASC 915 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 7), effective 2006, the Company ceased being considered a development stage company.

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation.  The results of operations for the six months period ended April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009.

Except for the historical information contained in this Form 10-Q, this Form contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this Report.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Report and any documents incorporated herein by reference, as well as the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs.  At this time, management knows of no substantial costs from environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be currently liable.  In addition, the Company’s oil and gas business makes it vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and natural gas.  Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future.  By definition, proved reserves are based on current oil and gas prices and estimated reserves.  Price declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved reserves and increase annual depletion expense (which is based on proved reserves).

OIL AND GAS INTERESTS

The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration; are capitalized within a cost center.  No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost center.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas interests is computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not yet been established due to the recent commencement of production.  Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalized costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved interests.  Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, and impairment is recognized.  The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying year end prices of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year end, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customers.  Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has occurred.  Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period.  Gas imbalances occur when the Company’s actual sales differ from its entitlement under existing working interests.  The Company records a liability for gas imbalances when it has sold more than its working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At April 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no overproduced imbalances.

INCOME / (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income/ (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have the dilutive effect on income/ (loss) per share.  The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the "as if converted method." The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.  Hence 500,000 options were excluded from the earnings per share calculation for the six months period ended April 30, 2010, since they were considered to be anti-dilutive.  The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months periods ended April 30, 2010 and 2009:

   
April 30, 2010
   
April 30, 2009

The calculation for earnings per share excluded stock options as these were not in the money as at April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and have an anti-dilutive effect.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains cash at one financial institution.  The Company periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and maintains cash accounts only in large high quality financial institutions, thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.  The Company believes credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents to be minimal; however, the at risk amounts were $1,121,495 for the six month period ended April 30, 2010 and $1,697,950 for the year ended October 31, 2009.

The Company has recorded trade accounts receivable from the business operations. Management periodically evaluates the collectability of the trade receivables and believes that the Company’s receivables are fully collectable and that the risk of loss is minimal.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

There are no adjustments necessary to net (loss) as presented in the accompanying statements of operations to derive comprehensive income in accordance with FSB ASC 220-10 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income".

EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

Effective November 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 123R) “Share Based Payment” using the modified prospective method as described in “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

2.         ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of revenues receivable from the operators of the oil and gas projects for the sale of oil and gas by the operators on their behalf and are carried at net receivable amounts less an estimate for doubtful accounts.  Management considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible at April 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009.  Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts or bad debt expense has been recorded.

4.           ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows FASB ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”  which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  This policy requires recognition of the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred.  As of April 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009, we recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.  The liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a well is completed and ready for production.  The Company amortizes the amount added to the oil and gas properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective well.  The estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements.  The liability is a discounted liability using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 12%.

Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells.

The Company amortizes the amount added to oil and gas properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining useful lives of the respective wells.

The information below reflects the change in the asset retirement obligations during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009:

Item 2.       Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. As production of these products continues, they will be sold to purchasers in the immediate area where the products are extracted.

Our original business plan was to proceed with the exploration of the Antelope Pass Project to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of gold located on the property comprising the mineral claims.  Based on the geological report and recommendation prepared by Leroy Halterman, who was our geological consultant at that time, we completed geological mapping, sampling and assaying in connection with the first phase of a staged exploration program during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.  In 2005, we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 or 2008 or the six months ended April 30, 2010.  At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will proceed with the Antelope Pass Project.
 
Our plan of operations is to continue to produce commercial quantities of oil and gas and to drill new exploratory and development wells and re-entries to test the oil and gas productive capabilities of our oil and gas properties.
 
Oil and Gas Properties

“Bbl” is defined herein to mean one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

“Mcf” is defined herein to mean one thousand cubic feet of natural gas at standard atmospheric conditions.

“Working interest” is defined herein to mean an interest in an oil and gas lease that gives the owner of the interest the right to drill for and produce oil and gas on the leased acreage and requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production operations.  The share of production to which a working interest owner is entitled will always be smaller than the share of costs that the working interest owner is required to bear, with the balance of the production accruing to the mineral owners of royalties.

Note that all production amounts disclosed for the individual properties below are for 100% of the production for such property and not the production amount relating only to the Company’s working interest.  The Company’s percentage interest is noted for each of the projects within the project summary.

2008-3 Drilling Program, Oklahoma.  On January 12, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2008-3 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $28,581.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well of each prospect.  The BCP Interest shall be 6.25% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00%.  From January 2009 to July 2009, we expended an additional $213,925.  The total cost of the 2008-3 Drilling Program as of April 30, 2010 was $261,356.  The interests are located in Garvin County, South Central Oklahoma.

This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in three of the prospects and two in the fourth prospect.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific Bromide Sands, Viola Limestone, Deese Sandstone and Layton Sandstone.  One of the wells has very similar geology and structure to the Bromide sands in the Owl Creek field.

Five wells were drilled during 2009.  Production casing was set on four of the five wells and the fifth well was deemed non commercial and was plugged and abandoned.   All four completed wells are producing commercial quantities of oil and gas with one well producing most of the oil.  As of April 30, 2010, the wells in this program have produced a total of 109,506 Bbls of oil and 40,402 Mcf of natural gas.

2009-2 Drilling Program, Oklahoma.  On June 15, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-2 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $26,562.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well of each of three prospects.  The BCP Interest shall be 6.25% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00%.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  A total of three wells were drilled in this program and targeted pay zones that were the same as in the 2008-3 program.  The zones included the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola, Deesse and Layton Sandstone. This program is composed of three 3-D seismically defined separate prospects.   All wells were drilled in the last fiscal quarter of 2009. Two of the wells were deemed non-commercial and were plugged and abandoned.  Production casing was set on one of the three wells and completion efforts have taken place on the third well; however, after testing it was also deemed non-commercial and plugged.

2009-3 Program, Oklahoma. On August 12, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-3 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $37,775.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of four prospects.   The BCP Interest shall be 6.25% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00%.  The total costs incurred, including drilling costs, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 was $215,466.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola and Deese sands. This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in each of the four prospects.   All four of the wells have been drilled and production casing has been set on all four.  Two of the wells had successful drill stem test that flowed oil and gas to the surface.  Electric and radiation logs indicate multiple pay zones in all four wells.

One of the four wells in this program was completed in late January as a flowing oil and gas well.  The well was flowing naturally at rates between 400 and 500 barrels of fluid per day with an oil cut of between 50% and 70% oil.  Natural gas was being produced at a rate of over 400 mcf per day.  The well only produced for a few days before the recent snow and ice storms forced shutting the well in because the produced oil and water could not be hauled away from the location and the storage tanks for these liquids were full. Conditions have improved and the well is now producing and selling oil and natural gas. The second well that also had a flowing drill stem test was completed in late March and that well is currently producing as a naturally flowing oil and gas well. Total production from these two producing wells as of April 30, 2010 totaled 12,842 barrels of oil and 7,136 mcf of natural gas.  In mid-May, we drilled an offset well that is still flowing naturally and producing approximately 270 barrels of oil per day.  Drilling of the new development well will start in early June.
 
The two reaming wells were completed in late May.  One well awaited a natural gas pipeline to complete before it could be produced.  The pipeline was completed in late May and the well is now producing and selling both oil and gas at rates of 5 barrels of oil per day and over three-quarter of a million cubic feet of natural gas. The second well after testing was deemed to be noncommercial and will be plugged and abandoned.

2009-4 Program, Oklahoma. On December 19, 2009, we acquired a 5% working interest in Ranken Energy Corporation’s 2009-3 Drilling Program for a total buy-in cost of $10,812.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of two prospects.   The BCP Interest shall be 6.25% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00%.  The total costs incurred, including drilling costs, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 was $97,578.  The interests are located in Garvin County, Oklahoma.  Targeted pay zones include the prolific Oil Creek, Bromide Sands, Viola and Deese sands. This program is composed of four 3-D seismically defined separate prospects with one exploratory well in each of the two prospects.

Drilling of the first well started in early February and reached total depth on February 20, 2010. The second well drilling started in late February and reached total depth on April 8, 2010. Both of the wells intercepted multiple potential productive horizons and production casing was set. The lowest horizon in the first well flowed oil and gas on a drill stem test.  Weather continues to be a problem with heavy rain causing flooding and other delays. Completion efforts have started on the first well and it may be several weeks before completion starts on the second well.

South Wayne Prospect, Oklahoma. On March 14, 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in Okland Oil’s South Wayne prospect for a total buy-in cost of $5,000.  We agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well on each of two prospects.  The BCP Interest shall be 6.25% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00%.  The total costs incurred, including drilling costs, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 was
 
 
17

 
 
$37,370.  The well and related leasehold interests are located in McClain County, Oklahoma.  As of April 30, 2010, the well had been drilled and production casing has been set.
 
Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project, Oklahoma.  On March 1, 2010, we agreed to participate with a 5% interest in a 3-D seismic program managed by an experienced local operator for a buy-in cost of $46,250.  The Oklahoma 3-D seismic program will cover approximately 135 square miles in a known oil and gas producing area.   An earlier 2-D seismic program over the same area indicated a number of untested structures.  We expect the 3-D program will refine and better define the structures discovered during the earlier program and pinpoint drill locations.  Brinx will participate in the seismic program and the related prospect generation and acquisition phase without any promotion.  The BCP Interest shall be 5.625% and the ACP Interest shall be 5.00% on the first eight wells and then 5% before and after casing point on succeeding wells.  The total costs, including seismic costs, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 was $51,719.

Three Sands Project. On October 6, 2005, we acquired a 40% working interest in Vector Exploration Inc.’s Three Sands Project for a total buy-in cost of $88,000 plus dry hole costs (the “Three Sands Project”).  The Three Sands Project is located in Oklahoma.  For the year ended October 31, 2006, we expended $530,081 in exploration costs.  In June 2007, we acquired a 40% working interest in the William #4-10 well for a total cost of $285,196 and paid a further $17,000 in costs relating to the well.  On March 19, 2008, we participated in the KC 80 #1-11 well and paid $75,000 for the prepaid drilling costs.  During March and April 2008, we expended an additional amount of $48,763 for the intangible and tangible costs, and $161,650 during May to July 2008.  The total cost of the Three Sands Project as of April 30, 2010 was $1,197,523.  Our working interest in the Three Sands Project includes leasehold interests, one re-entry production well, and two drilling wells.  We also participate in drilling operations and related costs, in proportion to our working interest.

Drilling of the Kodesh #1 disposal well was completed on October 3, 2005 and drilling of the Kodesh #2 well was completed on October 23, 2005. Completion and equipping of these wells took place during mid-December 2005 through early January 2006.  The Kodesh #1 is being used as a salt water disposal well.  The Kodesh #2 well no longer produces oil on a daily basis, but there is a small amount of natural gas being produced. As of April 30, 2010, it has produced 3,690 Bbls of oil and 7,321 Mcf of natural gas.  At the time of this report, the Kodesh #2 well is not producing oil because of a failure of the downhole pump which needs either to be repaired or replaced.  We plan to increase both oil and gas production in this well by perforating new zones in Kodesh #2 during the second or third quarter of this year.  The downhole pump will also be replaced. In addition to the reworking of the Kodesh #2, the operator is currently considering drilling a new well in the third or fourth quarter.

During January 2007, we re-entered the Dye Estate #1 well.  Production of natural gas from the Dye Estate #1 well commenced in mid-August 2007.  As of April 30, 2010, the Dye Estate #1 well has produced 5,439 Mcf of natural gas and is currently averaging natural gas production at a rate of 6 Mcf per day. Water from the Dye Estate #1 well is being disposed in the Kodesh #1 disposal well.

We commenced drilling the William #4-10 well in early June 2007, reaching a total depth of 4,810 feet in mid-June 2007.  Electric and radiation logs indicated that the William #4-10 well contained four potential commercial pay zones, the Wilcox Sand, Mississippi Lime, Layton Sand and the Tonkawa Sand.  Completion of the lowest zone, the Wilcox Sand, occurred in mid-August 2007.  Production from the William #4-10 well started in mid-October 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, we perforated, fracture treated and tested the Mississippi Lime and the lower Layton Sand to increase the production rate of both gas and oil from the William #4-10 well and provide data regarding the potential of these formations for the remainder of the leases on the Three Sands Project.  As of April 30, 2010, the William #4-10 well has produced 2,316 Bbls oil and 48,943 Mcf of gas.
 
Drilling commenced on the KC 80 #1-11 well in mid-February 2008 and reached total depth of 4,720 feet by the end of February 2008.  The KC 80 #1-11 has been surveyed with radiation and electrical logs.  The primary target for the well is the upper Mississippian Limestone and Chat Formation. The KC-80 well’s logs indicate significant thickness of Chat and upper Mississippi Limestone with good porosity, permeability, and hydrocarbon shows.

Completion of the KC 80 #1-11 well started in late April 2008.  The lowest pay zone, the Mississippian was acidized and partially fracture treated.  In early August a similar treatment was given to the Chat zone or the

horizon that lies above the lowest pay zone. As of April 30, 2010, the KC 80 #1-11 well is producing at a rate of 5 Bbls of oil and 35 Mcf of natural gas daily.  As of April 30, 2010, the KC 80 #1-11 has produced 5,150 Bbls of oil and 26,360 Mcf of natural gas.

It should be noted that all wells in the Three Sands Project were shut-in for most of the month of January 2010 while the operator was changing natural gas purchasers.  As of April 30, 2010, all wells were back producing.  During the three-month period ended April 30, 2010, 550 Bbls of oil and 12,534 Mcf of natural gas were produced at the Three Sands Project.
 
Palmetto Point Project.  On February 28, 2006, we acquired a 10% working interest before completion and an 8.5% revenue interest after completion, in a 10-well program at the Palmetto Point Project operated by Griffin & Griffin Exploration LLC (“Griffin & Griffin”) for a total buy-in cost of $350,000 (the “Palmetto Point Project”). The Palmetto Point Project is located in Mississippi. On September 26, 2006, we acquired two additional wells (the PP F-6B and PP F52-A wells) within the Palmetto Point Project for $70,000.  On October 1, 2007, we acquired and participated in drilling two more wells within the Palmetto Point Project (the PP F-12-2 and PP F-12-3 wells) at a cost of $69,862. On October 25, 2007, we paid $17,000 for a sidetrack, a deviation of the existing PP-F-12-3 well at an angle to reach additional targeted oil sands.  The well was successfully completed as a flowing oil well.

On January 30, 2008, we incurred $36,498 for workovers to install submersible pumps.  During November 2008 to July 2009, we incurred $44,623 for the Belmont Lake Project.  The total cost of the Palmetto Point Project, including costs for the PP F-12-2, PP F-12-3, PP F-12-4 and PP F-52 wells, was $641,820 as of April 30, 2010.
 
As of October 31, 2007, Griffin & Griffin, operator of the Palmetto Point Project, drilled all ten of the wells in the Palmetto Point Project.  Eight of the wells were successful and two were dry holes which were not completed.  Seven of the eight successful wells were completed and are currently producing.  One of the eight wells, the PP F-12, was completed as a flowing oil well in early October 2007.  The PP F-12 well flowed oil at rates of over 100 Bbls per day and in December 2007 was offset by two additional wells in the project, the PP F-12-2 and PP F-12-3.  The PP F-12-2 was a dry hole and the PP F-12-3 was completed as a flowing oil well.

Both the PP F-12 PP F-12-3 oil well locations and several of our gas well locations have been flooded at the Palmetto Point Project.  Prior to the flooding, we had partly completed work to install gas lift pumps at each well; however, the work could not be completed before the locations were flooded.  There has been virtually no damage to our surface equipment located at the well heads, as our batteries and other production facilities are located above the flood waters.  Thus far, the only damage has been to our recent lost production because the well had to be shut-in.  We do not believe that the flooding will adversely affect future oil recovery from these wells.

In early September 2008, flood waters had receded sufficiently and work began on placing the PP F-12 and PP F12-3 back on line and producing oil.  Gas lift pumps were installed on both wells and other modification and additional equipment such as compressors were also installed.  At the end of April 2010, both wells were producing oil at combined rates of between 65 and 75 barrels of oil per day.  This reduction in production rates is largely the result of flooding which has not allowed for the wells to be serviced.  When flood waters have receded, we plan to service the two producing wells and to drill an additional well to better drain the reservoir.  Depending upon the thickness of the pay zone intercepted in the new well, it may be converted to a horizontal well to increase production.

For the three months period ending April 30, 2010, a total of 3,895 Bbls of oil and no natural gas was produced at the Palmetto Point Project.

Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture.  On August 2, 2006, we executed a memorandum agreement with Griffin & Griffin (as operator of the project), Delta Oil and Gas, Inc., Turner Valley Oil and Gas Company, Lexaria Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Lexaria”), and the Stallion Group to participate in two proposed drilling programs located in Southwest Mississippi and Northeast Louisiana, comprised of up to 50 natural gas and/or oil wells, at a price of $400,000 (the “Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture”).  We hold a 10% working interest in the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture project before production and a prorated reduced working interest after production based on the operator’s interest portion.

 
19

 
On June 21, 2007, we assigned our interests and all future development obligations for any new wells in the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture to Lexaria for the sum of $1. We believe the assigned interests to be of nominal value.   We have maintained our original interest, rights, title and benefits to all seven wells drilled with our participation at the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture between August 3, 2006 and June 19, 2007, specifically wells CMR-USA-39-14, Dixon #1, Faust #1 TEC F-1, CMR/BR F-14, RB F-1 Red Bug #2, BR F-33, and Randall #1 F-4, and any offset wells that could be drilled to any of these specified wells.  We do not anticipate expending additional exploration funds on the project.

As of April 30, 2010, we have expended $400,000 in connection with the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture, including leasing, title, drilling, and casing.

Nine wells were drilled on the Mississippi Frio-Wilcox Joint Venture, of which, five wells were initially deemed successful and four wells were dry holes and were not completed.  One of the five wells initially deemed to be successful was the BR F-24.  However, subsequent testing of the BR F-24 indicated that it was not commercially viable and the well was plugged and abandoned in 2007.  The four remaining successful wells were the Faust #1, USA 39-14, USA 1-37 and the BR F-33.  The USA 39-14 has been completed and is now producing natural gas.  As of April 30, 2010, these four wells were shut-in natural gas wells with no production.  No further exploration wells are currently planned for this project.
 
King City Oil Field.  We entered into an agreement with Sunset Exploration effective May 25, 2009, to explore for oil and gas on 10,000 acres located in west central California.  The agreement calls for us to earn a 20% working interest in project by funding a maximum of 50% of a $200,000 geophysical survey composed of gravity and seismic surveys and agreeing to carry Sunset Exploration for 40% of dry hole cost of the first well.  Completions and drilling of this first well and completion of subsequent wells on the 10,000 acres will be proportionate to each parties working interest.  The geophysical surveys have already started and most have been completed. However, one line in the new series of seismic profiles has not been completed as the result of heavy rains. Data acquired and processed thus far indicates several potential drill targets.

International Exploration and Acquisition Program

The Company is attempting to expand its property base by locating other resource properties internationally.  Accordingly, we have hired consultants to gather data on properties that may be of interest to us. The consultants on a best efforts basis will attempt to acquire option agreements, lease agreements and/or the outright purchase of oil and /or gas properties internationally.   As of the date of this filing, we have not found a suitable acquisition.

Mineral Interests

Antelope Pass.  In 2005, we suspended our activities on the Antelope Pass Project indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas properties and we did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Antelope Pass Project during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 or during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008.  At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will proceed with the Antelope Pass Project.   All Bureau of Land Management fees and filing have been paid and performed making the claim valid until at least September 1, 2010.

Results of Operations

Three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2009.  We realized revenues of $107,030 during the three months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $42,150 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $64,880, due to additional wells producing and an increase in commodity prices.  During the three-month period ended April 30, 2010, 1,295 Bbls of oil and 3,581 Mcf of gas were produced at our oil and gas properties, as compared to 794 Bbls of oil and 3,997 Mcf of gas for the three months ended April 30, 2009.

We incurred production costs of $25,110 during the three months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $22,042 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $3,068.  The increase in our production costs is related to an increase in production from our producing wells.

Our depletion and accretion costs were $31,473 during the three months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $29,073 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $2,400.  The increase in our depletion costs is related to a decrease in the reserves of the Company and an increase in production from our wells.

Our general and administrative costs increased to $210,986 for the three months ended April 30, 2010, from $154,724 for the three months ended April 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to increases in consulting fees of $73,410 and management fees of $37,500.  We are attempting to expand our property base by locating other resources properties.  Accordingly, we have hired consultants to gather data on properties that may be of interest to us.  As of the date of this filing, we have not found a suitable acquisition.

For the three months ended April 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $159,618, compared to a net loss of $163,689 for the three months ended April 30, 2009.  The loss was largely attributable to the increase in our general and administrative costs which was partially offset by an increase in revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2010.

As a result of our net loss for the quarter, we had retained earnings of $906,490 at April 30, 2010.

Six months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended April 30, 2009.  We realized revenues of $228,056 during the six months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $110,279 during the six months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $117,777, due to additional wells producing and an increase in commodity prices.  During the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, 2,654Bbls of oil and 6,786 Mcf of gas were produced at our oil and gas properties, as compared to 1,925 Bbls of oil and 1,399 Mcf of gas for the six months ended April 30, 2009.

We incurred production costs of $42,688 during the six months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $52,456 during the six months ended April 30, 2009, a decrease of $9,768.  The decrease in our production costs is related to decrease in maintenance on wells during the prior period, however this was offset by an increase in production costs as new wells were brought to production.

Our depletion and accretion costs were $69,012 during the six months ended April 30, 2010, compared with $72,278 during the six months ended April 30, 2009, a decrease of $3,266.  

Our general and administrative costs increased to $479,463 for the six months ended April 30, 2010, from $272,063 for the six months ended April 30, 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to increases in consulting fees of $231,411 and management fees of $90,196.  We are attempting to expand our property base by locating other resources properties.  Accordingly, we have hired consultants to gather data on properties that may be of interest to us.  As of the date of this filing, we have not found a suitable acquisition.  In addition, we incurred stock-based compensation expense of $30,708 in the 2010 period as a result of stock options granted to our officers.

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $362,186, compared to a net loss of $285,227 for the six months ended April 30, 2009.  The loss was largely attributable to the increase in our general and administrative costs which was partially offset by an increase in revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of April 30, 2010, we had cash of $1,371,495 and working capital of $1,960,673, compared to cash of $1,947,950 and working capital of $2,494,387 as of October 31, 2009.  Our accounts receivable decreased to $82,538 at April 30, 2010, compared with $97,198 at October 31, 2009, a decrease of $14,660.  In addition, our current liabilities decreased to $23,620 at April 30, 2010, compared with $75,185 at October 31, 2009.
 
During the six months ended April 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $278,207, compared to net cash used of $744,113 during the six months ended April 30, 2009.  The principal reason for the change was due to corporate taxes recoverable.

 
21

 
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended April 30, 2010 was $298,248, compared with $238,044 used during the six months ended April 30, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of April 30, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.  

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Oil and Gas Interests. We utilize the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, subject to a limitation based on estimated value, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development, including costs of unsuccessful exploration, are capitalized within a cost center.  No gain or loss is recognized upon the sale or abandonment of undeveloped or producing oil and gas interests unless the sale represents a significant portion of oil and gas interests and the gain significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves of the cost center.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas interests is computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not yet been established due to the recent commencement of production.  Amortizable costs include estimates of future development costs of proved undeveloped reserves.
 
Capitalized costs of oil and gas interests may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value, if lower, of unproved interests.  Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment is recognized.  The present value of estimated future net cash flows is computed by applying year end prices of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of year end, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations. We follow FASB ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.  FASB ASC 410-20 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  FASB ASC 410-20 requires recognition of the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred.  As of October 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with FASB ASC 410-20.  The liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a well is completed and ready for production.  We amortize the amount added to the oil and gas properties and recognize accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective wells. The estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is a discounted liability using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 12%.  Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells.

The information below reflects the change in the asset retirement obligations during the periods ended April 30, 2010 and October 31, 2009:

and Selman#2-21 wells at the Oklahoma Properties.  The present value of the reclamation liability may be subject to change based on management’s current estimates, changes in remediation technology or changes to the applicable laws and regulations.  Such changes will be recorded in our accounts as they occur.
 
Reserve Estimates.  Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on an interpretation of geological and engineering data.  There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.  Estimates of the economically   recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on the risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom may vary substantially.  Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
 
Share Based Compensation. In December 2004, FASB ASC 718 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS 123R) "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued.  This standard defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. This statement requires entities to recognize related compensation expense to employees by adopting the fair value method.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our officials to analysts and shareholders in the course of presentations about the company, constitute “forward-looking statements”.   Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.  Such factors include, among other things, (1) general economic and business conditions; (2) interest rate changes; (3) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (4) government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources industries; (5) required accounting changes; (6) disputes or claims regarding our property interests; and (7) other factors over which we have little or no control.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2010, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter.  This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our officers, Leroy Halterman and Kulwant Sandher.  Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Halterman and Sandher concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:

·  
We rely on external consultants for the preparation of our financial statements and reports.  As a result, our officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports.
 
 
 
23

 
 
·  
We have an officer who is also a director.  Our board of directors consists of only two members.  Therefore, there is an inherent lack of segregation of duties and a limited independent governing board.
 
·  
We rely on an external consultant for administration functions, some of which do not have standard procedures in place for formal review by our officers.

 Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our officers have concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
