APEX RESOURCES GROUP, INC.
(Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007


1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on January 27, 1984 with authorized capital stock of 50,000,000 shares at a par value of $0.001.  On May 17, 1999 the shares authorized was increased to 100,000,000 shares and on March 3, 2000 the amount authorized was increased to 400,000,000 shares with the same par value. On March 26, 2003 the name of the Company was changed from “Ambra Resources Group, Inc. to “Apex Resources Group, Inc.”

The Company has been in the development stage since inception and has been engaged in the business of the acquisition of mining and oil property interests and other business activities.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Methods

The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity, at the time of purchase, of less than three months, to be cash equivalents.

The Company’s property and equipment consists of the following:

Office equipment
    145,880  
Less accumulated depreciation
    (49,521 )
      96,359

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net incomes (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.

Capitalization of Oil Leases Costs

The Company uses the successful efforts cost method for recording its oil lease interests, which provides for capitalizing the purchase price of the project and the additional costs directly related to proving the properties and amortizing these amounts over the life of the reserve when operations begin or a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value or expensing the remaining balance if it is proven to be of no value. Expenditures for oil well equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.

Environmental Requirements

At the  report  date  environmental  requirements  related to the mineral claim interests acquired  are unknown  and  therefore an estimate of  any future  cost cannot be made.

Foreign Currency Translation

Part of the transactions of the Company were completed in Canadian dollars and have been translated to US dollars as incurred, at the exchange rate in effect at the time, and therefore, no gain or loss  from the translations is recognized. US dollars are considered to be the functional currency.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due their short term maturities.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

At December 31, 2007, the Company had an approximate net operating loss available for carry forward of $9,670,279.  The tax benefit of approximately $3,287,895 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful because the Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for future years.

The net operating loss carryovers began to expire in 2005 and will continue expiring through 2027.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized on the sale and transfer of properties or services and the receipt other sources of income.

Advertising and Market Development

The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.

Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and account receivables.  Cash balances are maintained in accounts that are not federally insured for amounts over $100,000 but are otherwise in financial institutions of high credit quality.  Accounts receivable are unsecured; however management considers them to be currently collectable.

Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements to have any material impact on its financial statements.

3.  OIL LEASES - BEAUFORT SEA PROJECT

On June 9, 1997 the Company   purchased a 3.745% working interest, for $67,913, in the Beaufort Sea well Esso Pex Home et al Itiyok I-27 consisting of 640 acres and is located at Latitude 70-00', Longitude 134-00', Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 27, 28, and 37, License No. 55, dated April 22, 1987.  During 1982 and 1983 a consortium of companies participated in the drilling, casing, and testing the area to a depth of 12,980 feet.

The lease is shown at cost, which is considered by management to be its estimated fair value.

The other partners in the project are coordinated by Exxon Oil Corporation; however there are no immediate plans to develop the area until a gas pipe line becomes available.

4.  SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Officers-directors and their controlled entities and a consultant have acquired approximately 23% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and have received the restricted common capital stock issued to them.

On December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company owed certain shareholders, directors and officers of the Company the sum of $47,901 and $313,694, respectively.

The Company has made no interest, demand loans to affiliates.  These loans have been repaid to the Company by the affiliate issuing common stock.  The affiliations resulted through common officers between the Company and its affiliates, and at December 31, 2007 the Company owns 14.2 % of the outstanding stock of one of the affiliates.

5.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Apex Resources Group, Inc. on August 14, 2007 the Company issued 11,000,000 stock options to six related party entities.  These options were immediately vested and were issued at a price of $.06 per share and expire August 14, 2010.  The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with SFAS 123 (R).  The Company makes a determination of the estimated fair value of share based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as by assumptions regarding certain complex and subjective variables.  These variables include, but are not limited to; the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and the actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior.

The fair value of the options using this pricing model is calculated to $247,500.  This amount has been recorded as stock based compensation for the six months ended December 31, 2007

6. GOING CONCERN

The Company will need additional working capital for its future planned activity and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to be successful in that effort.  The management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective, through additional short term loans, and equity funding, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

General

We are in the development stage.  Our primary business is the acquisition of small working interests in oil and gas prospects for investment purposes.  We do not undertake exploration or drilling activities.  We are not an operator.  We do not engage in oil and gas production or sales activities.  Rather, we acquire small working interests in oil and gas prospects for investment purposes.

Although for the past few years we have had limited funds, we continue to investigate the acquisition of interests in oil and gas properties.  To date, we have and will continue to seek to acquire only minor interests in oil and gas prospects thereby diversifying our risk.  As a result of our strategy to participate only as a passive investor in these projects, we hope to keep our overhead to a minimum.

For a detailed description of our oil and gas interests, please see the Annual Report of the Company filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.  Following is a brief description of relevant events that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

Business of the Company

Oil and Gas Prospects

We currently own working interests in two prospects.

Beaufort Sea

We hold a 3.745% working interest in the Beaufort Sea well Esso Pex Home, et. al. Itiyok I-27, consisting of 640 acres, located at Latitude 70-00', Longitude 134-00', Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 27, 28 and 37.  License No. 55, dated April 22, 1987.  During 1982 and 1983 a consortium of companies participated in drilling, casing and testing the area to a depth of 12,980 feet.

The main partner in the project is Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Limited.  A consortium of oil and gas companies has filed an application to build a natural gas pipeline that could be used to transport gas from the Beaufort Sea region, but the application has not been approved.  No current plans have been formulated to perform further work in the immediate Beaufort Sea area.  It is anticipated this area will be developed when a pipeline is built.

Bastian Bay Field, Plaquamines Parish, Louisiana

Last year, Imperial Petroleum Inc., the operator of Bastian Bay Field Lease #16152 in Plaquamines Parish Louisiana made a cash call to all participants in the well.  The participants in the well were given the choice to pay the cash call or continue on a non-consent basis under which the non paying participants relinquishing half of their working interest.  We determined that it was not in our best interest to meet the cash call.  Therefore, our interest in this well decreased from 6.25% to 3.125%.  As of this time Imperial has put work on the well on hold and we do not know when they expect to begin work again.

Henry Dome Prospect, Texas

We own 2.5 participation units in the Henry Dome Prospect in McMullen County, Texas.  These units give us a 1.875% working interest in JB Henry Dome #1 well.  During the quarter we were informed that the operator has determined that this well is not of commercial value as a gas well.

We also own approximately 11,146,679 or 14.2% of the outstanding common shares of Omega Ventures Group, Inc., a corporation whose common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, stock symbol “OMGV.”  Certain of our officers and directors, John Rask and Stephen Golde also serve as officers and directors of Omega Ventures Group.




 
12

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently do not have sufficient cash reserves or cash flow from operations to meet our cash requirements.  This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  During the six months ended December 31, 2007, we financed our operations with proceeds from the sale of real estate during the first quarter quarter.  Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $16,642.

Our only business is the acquisition of minority working interest in oil and gas prospects for investment.  While we would like to identify and acquire interests in additional prospects interests, we have limited funds to do so.  Moreover, none of the prospects in which we currently own interests are producing, which means we are not currently realizing any revenue from our investments, nor does it appear that any of these prospects will become productive in the near future.  Therefore, we do not anticipate revenue in upcoming quarters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our obtaining sufficient working capital to meet our operating needs, to service our debts and satisfy our accounts payable and to acquire interests in prospects that can generate cash flow.  There is no guarantee we will be able to do these things.  These issues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

   Comparison of the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

We suffered a net loss of $47,020 during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $37,313 during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  During the 2007 quarter, total operating expenses were actually 64% lower as compared to the 2006 quarter.  During the 2006 quarter, however, we realized $91,608 gain on the sale of assets, which partially offset operating expenses during the 2006 quarter.  We realized no comparable gain on the sale of assets during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 to offset our expenses.   As a result, we realized a greater net loss even though we significantly reduced our operating expenses.

During the three months ended December 31, 2006, we realized a gain on the sale of real estate of $91,608 we realized no comparable gain during the three months ended December 31, 2007.  As we have now sold all of our real estate interests we do not expect to realize recurring gains of this nature in the future.

During the second fiscal quarter 2008 we realized a 63% decrease in exploration, development and administrative expense.The following table shows a more detailed comparison of our exploration, development and administrative expenses during the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

Travel expenses decreased $1,540 or 12% during the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006.  Because the Company has limited funds, our officers and directors limited travel expenses as much as possible during the second fiscal quarter 2008.  We anticipate travel expenses in future quarters will be fairly consistent compared to with travel expenses realized during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Office expenses during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $13,554 compared to $19,144 during the same quarter 2006.  This 29% decrease is largely the result of management curtailing office expenses because of our limited available funds.  We expect that office expense in upcoming quarters will remain within the range experienced during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended December 31, 2006.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007 professional fees were $12,377 compared to $13,903 in professional fees during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  The professional fees we incurred during the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are primarily incurred in connection with our SEC reporting obligations.  While fees were slightly lower during the three months ended December 31, 2007, we generally expect professional fees will be higher in upcoming fiscal quarters as compared to prior year fiscal quarters.

During the three months ended December 31, 2007 consultants fees decreased to $3,160 from $57,201 during the three months ended December 31, 2006.  The Company has no employees.  When management needs services performed it retains consultants to perform those services.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, consultants’ fees were unusually high as a result of the Company retaining certain consultants to investigate potential investment ideas and business opportunities.  While management is making every effort to reduce costs, which includes hiring fewer consultants, we believe the significant reduction in consulting fees realized during the current quarter was more a matter of timing and circumstances and is not indicative of a trend and we expect consultants’ fees to return to more traditional levels in future quarters.

Rent expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $3,300 compared to $6,638 during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  This decrease in rent is attributable to the fact that we closed our office in Canada in February 2007.  We also closed our office in Salt Lake City.  Currently, we share office space in Salt Lake City with a related party on a month-to-month basis.  We pay the related party $1,100 per month for rent.  We anticipate rent expense will remain at $1,100 per month in upcoming quarters until such time as we or the related party terminates our verbal agreement.

Advertising expense decreased from $12,983 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $1,025 during the three months ended December 31, 2007.  This decrease in advertising expense is primarily the result of management curtailing advertising activities and allocating our limited funds to other expenses. We anticipate advertising expense to remain low throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.

Other expense increased from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $544 during the three months ended September 30, 2007.  We do not expect significant changes in other expense in upcoming fiscal quarters.

We generated no operating or non-operating income during the three months December 31, 2007 or 2006.

Comparison of the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

We suffered a net loss of $275,012 during in the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $63,848 during the six months ended December 31, 2006.  This 331% increase in net loss is the result of our realizing $247,520 in stock based compensation expense during the six months ended December 31, 2007.  On August 14, 2007 we granted stock options to acquire 11,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to six related parties.  These options vested immediately.  The exercise price of the options is $0.06 per share.  The options expire on August 14, 2010.  We realized no comparable expense during the six months ended December 31, 2006.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007 we realized a gain on the sale of assets of $99,457, by comparison, during the six months ended December 31, 2006 we realized a gain of the sale of assets of $141,636.  As we have now sold all of our real estate interests we will not realize recurring gains of this nature in the future unless we acquire more real estate.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007 we realized a 36% decrease in exploration, development and administrative expense.The following table shows a more detailed comparison of our exploration, development and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

Travel expenses increased $3,529 or 20% during the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006.  During the current fiscal year, our officers and directors have incurred greater travel expenses in connection with attempting to resolve certain financial matters and in the preparation of our periodic reports.  We expect travel expenses in future quarters to remain fairly consistent.

Office expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2007 was nearly unchanged increasing only 3% compared to the same period 2006.  We expect office expenses in upcoming quarters will remain at levels consistent with those experienced during the six months ended December 31, 2007.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007 professional fees were also flat, increasing less than 1% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2006.  The professional fees we incur are primarily incurred in connection with our SEC reporting obligations.  We believe professional fees will be higher throughout the rest of the current fiscal year.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007 consultants fees decreased $50,338 or 64% compared to the six months ended December 31, 2006.  As noted above, while management is trying to limit expenses by hiring fewer consultants, we believe this significant decrease in consultants fees is, at least, partially the result of timing and circumstances.  We anticipate consultants fees throughout the balance of fiscal 2008 will be fairly consistent with what we have incurred in the past.

Rent expense six months ended December 31, 2007 was $6,600 compared to $21,056 during the six months ended December 31, 2006.  This decrease in rent is attributable to the fact that we closed our office in Canada in February 2007.  We also closed our office in Salt Lake City.  As noted above, currently, we share office space in Salt Lake City with a related party on a month-to-month basis.  We pay the related party $1,100 per month for rent.  We anticipate rent expense will remain at $1,100 per month in upcoming quarters until such time as we or the related party terminates our verbal agreement.

Advertising expense decreased from $13,426 during the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $2,450 during the six months ended December 31, 2007.  As noted above, this decrease in advertising expense was primarily the result of management reducing advertising expenses to utilize our limited funds for other expenses. We anticipate advertising expense to remain low throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.

Other expense increased from $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 to $674 during the six months ended December 31, 2007.  We do not expect significant changes in other expense during the rest of our 2008 fiscal year.

We generated no operating income during the six months December 31, 2007 or 2006.  Non-operating income during the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $0 compared to $650 during the three months ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 3.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance 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 rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.  Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such disclosure controls and procedures are met.
 
Subsequent to end of the period covered in this report, in connection with comments received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”), we determined that we had erroneously accounted for available for sale securities in the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended June 30, 2007,  and the unaudited financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2007 and that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting because our controls did not identify the error on a timely basis.  As a result, we will file amendments to these reports to restate the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2007 included therein.

Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.  As discussed in more detail below, subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company made certain changes and is implementing new policies designed to avoid recurrence of errors of this nature in the future.

In light of these issues our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer performed additional analysis and procedures to ensure the unaudited financial statements included in this report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to ensure the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b).  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
As noted above, subsequent to the end of the period covered in this report, and in connection with the comments of the staff of the SEC, we determined that we had erroneously accounted for available for sale securities in the audited financial statements included in the our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007 and in the unaudited financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  We further determined that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting because the controls did not identify the error on a timely basis.  As a result, we will file amendments to these reports to restate the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 and the unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2007 included therein.

Based on the determination that we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, subsequent to the end of the period covered in this report the Company effected material changes to its internal control over financial reporting.  Management has replaced the accounting staff responsible for the initial accounting error.  Management is also in the process of implementing new policies requiring our internal accounting staff and management to receive additional training on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Management believes these changes and additional policies will provide additional and enhanced internal control over financial reporting and improve the ability of management to identify any potential errors prior to and during the Company’s consolidated financial statement close process and prevent recurrence of future errors of this nature.
