NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AUGUST 31, 1997 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern. However, the Company has depleted its working capital because of past operating losses, and has experienced the loss of production income because most of its oil and gas properties have been sold. Management intends to use unencumbered production revenue and possibly other sources to meet reduced administrative costs and continue in operation, but this cannot be assured. A decrease in the price of oil or other unexpected circumstances could cause operations to cease within a short period of time. OIL AND GAS ACCOUNTING The Company accounts for oil and gas properties using the "full cost" method. Under this method, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized, including costs of unsuccessful activities. Oil and gas properties are depleted using the units-of-production method based on the ratio of current period production to estimated proved oil and gas reserve quantities. No gain or loss resulting from the disposition of oil and gas properties is recognized unless the relationship between capitalized costs and reserves in the cost center is significantly changed. In addition to normal depletion, net capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling limitation required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such costs are limited to the present value (discounted at 10%) of the future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties, using year end costs and prices, after considering potential future income tax effects. There were no charges related to the ceiling limitation during the quarter ending August 31, 1997. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized upon sale to unaffiliated purchasers. CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents include money-market accounts or other highly-liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates. The unaudited oil and gas reserve estimates prepared by management should be considered as reasonably possible to change, which can affect depletion and the net carrying value of oil and gas properties. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares issued to insiders are considered to be outstanding from the beginning of the period issued. Common stock equivalents represented by options are not included as shares outstanding if their effect is antidilutive, or if estimated market value has not exceeded exercise price. -5- 2. ADJUSTMENTS In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals only) necessary to present fairly, the Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1997, and the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Cash flow for the three months then ended. 3. ADDITIONAL DETAILS For additional details of the Company's financial condition, refer to the notes to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 1997, filed in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual report. -6- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company continues to have working capital problems because of continued losses and has sold property to satisfy debts. Several properties were not able to generate sufficient revenue to pay operating costs in prior years and were shut in and subsequently disposed of. At August 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit in the amount of $10,742. Management's intent is to use the Company as a public shell merger candidate. Management intends to use unencumbered production revenue and other sources, such as sales proceeds, to meet reduced administrative costs and continue in operation, but this cannot be assured. A decrease in the price of oil could cause operations to cease within a short period of time. If the Company is not able to sell assets and to settle its debts, the Company may not be able to continue in business. Cash flows provided (used) in operations for the three months ended August 31, 1997, and 1996, were $(784)and $16,589 respectively. The decrease in cash provided during the last period is principally due the Company's net loss. Alfa sells most of its oil production to three major oil companies. However, in the event these purchasers discontinued oil purchases, Alfa has made contact with other purchasers who would purchase the oil. Alfa's past strategy has been the merger with or acquisition of other small independent oil and gas production companies and the acquisition of interests in producing oil and gas properties in exchange for cash and shares of Alfa's equity securities. Alfa's current financial position makes it extremely difficult to accomplish this business plan. Alfa's long-term needs, if it is able to overcome its current financial deficit, will continue to depend on many outside factors beyond its control, such as the demand for oil and natural gas, the price of oil and gas, the general economic climate and Alfa's ability to raise additional capital and to find a merger candidate. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997 COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 1996 Alfa's oil and gas sales decreased 56% to $4,945 in 1997 from $11,121 in 1996. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of properties. Management fees decreased to $-0- in 1997 from $1,875 in 1996. This decrease is due to discontinuation of the services the Company was providing. Interest and other income decreased to $273 in 1997 from $290 in 1996. Production expenses decreased 50% to $4,534 in 1997 from $9,048 in 1996. This decrease resulted primarily from sale of properties. General and Admin- istrative expenses decreased 12% to $13,169 in 1997 from $15,033 in 1996. This decrease is due to decreased activity of the Company and management's attempt to decrease expenses and other costs. Since net operating revenues from Alfa's oil production are very sensitive to changes in the price of oil, it is difficult for management to predict whether or not the Company will be profitable in the future. Unless oil prices increase, the Company will not be able to produce its marginal properties and since management has reduced its services, total revenues will continue to decline. -7- EFFECT OF CHANGES IN PRICES Changes in prices during the past few years have been a significant factor in the oil and gas industry. The price received for the oil and gas produced by Alfa has fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in the price that Alfa receives for its oil and gas is set by market forces beyond Alfa's control. That uncertainty in oil and gas prices make it more difficult for a company like Alfa to increase its oil and gas asset base and become a significant participant in the oil and gas industry.
