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.

Impairment
Under the full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test. This ceiling test determines whether there is an impairment to the proved properties. The impairment amount represents the excess of capitalized costs over the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from the proven oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value. There was no impairment cost for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Depletion
Under the full cost method, depletion 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. Depletion expense recognized was $282,241 and $172,128 for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 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 interests 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.
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 nine-month period ended July 31, 2011 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, 2010.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statement 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.
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 a twelve month average of 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 July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no overproduced imbalances.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are carried at net receivable amounts less an estimate for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 360 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 144) "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets",
which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Oil and gas interests accounted for under the full cost method are subject to a ceiling test, described above, and are excluded from this requirement.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company follows FASB ASC 410-20 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 143) "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
, that 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. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset's carrying amount.
Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company's asset retirement obligations are related to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and gas exploration activities.
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 a dilutive effect on income/(loss) per share. 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. The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010:
The calculation for earnings per share at July 31, 2010 excluded 400,000 stock options as these were not in the money.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. On occasion, the Company may have cash balances in excess of federally insured amounts. FAIR VALUE
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”
. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, investments in certificates of deposits, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in certificates of deposit 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. 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.
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718 (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 123R) “Share Based Payment”
.
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:
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no new accounting standards that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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 July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, 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 nine-month period ended July 31, 2011 and the year ended October 31, 2010:
The reclamation obligation relates to the Kodesh, Dye Estate, KC 80 and William wells at the Three Sands Property; the Palmetto Point Project well at the Frio-Wilcox Project; and ARD#1-36, Bagwell#1-20, Jackson#1-18, Miss Gracie#1-18, Joe Murray Farm, Dennis#2-8, Gehrke#1-24, Jack#1-13 and Miss Jenny#1-8 wells at 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 in applicable laws and regulations. Such changes will be recorded in the accounts of the Company as they occur.
