1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company and Purpose Apollo Resources International, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on July 9, 1997 under the laws of the State of Utah. Effective October 28, 2004, the Company executed a share exchange agreement, in which the Company acquired an oil and natural gas production company. With this acquisition the Company changed its primary business focus to oil & natural gas production. Subsequent acquisitions and ventures have added oil and natural gas transportation via the acquisition of pipelines and developed an alternative fuels segment with ventures in biodiesel and hydrogen energy alternatives. Before October 28, 2004, the Company was accounted for as a developmental stage company for the purpose of raising capital to invest in a joint venture which acquired a license to certain technology relating to the production of hydrogen, to generate hydrogen for sale, and to market hydrogen generating equipment and products.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. JSC Kaliningradneft (Kaliningrad) management has to date not provided the financial statements of Kaliningrad in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the results of operations of Kaliningrad have not been included in the results of operations of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Results of operations for the Companys gas transmission company, OGC Pipeline, LLC (OGC), have been consolidated since February 7, 2005, the effective date of the acquisition.
With the execution of the share exchange agreement on October 28, 2004, the Company effected a 2 for 1 reverse split of its common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Theseus Resources, Inc. (Theseus), in exchange for the issuance of 18,000,000 post-split shares of the Companys restricted common stock. This transaction was recorded as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of business combinations. In a reverse acquisition all accounting history becomes that of the accounting acquirer. Therefore, all historical information prior to the acquisition is that of Theseus. Accordingly, there are no comparative financial statements presented for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005.
In managements opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary, accept those related to Kaliningrad discussed above, to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2005 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices appropriate for its industry. Revenue is recognized when earned in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. These policies are summarized below.
Managements Estimates and Assumptions The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews all significant estimates affecting the financial statements on a recurring basis and records the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to their issuance.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable At June 30, 2005, the amounts carried in accounts receivable were considered by management to be collectible in full.
Accounts Receivable Working Interest Owners The Company previously advanced funds to working interest owners. As net royalties are earned, the working interest owners are reducing their receivable on a quarterly basis. The working interest owners receive 54% of the revenue and are billed 54% of the direct expenses. For the period ended June 30, 2005, the working interest owners accrued revenue of $49,688. As of June 30, 2005 the working interest owners owed the Company $138,739.
6
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and temporary cash investments. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customers financial condition. The Company controls its exposure to credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures and establishes allowances for anticipated losses. The Company places its temporary cash investments with quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial instrument.
Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments in marketable equity securities, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The Companys financial instruments include notes payable. The carrying value of notes payable approximates market value because the borrowing rate is similar to other financial instruments with similar terms.
Patents and Assigned Technology The Company contributed its Patent technology to Decarb Energy Technologies, LLC (Decarb) upon entering into a joint venture with Decarb. This joint venture between the Company and a former officer of the Company, enables the Company to continue its research in hydrogen fuel alternatives. The Patent technology relates to a Hydrogen Generation System and Fuel Pellet technology relating to the production of hydrogen.
Warrants - During 2003, the Company issued a former officer in connection with such officers employment agreement, a warrant for 65,000 shares of restricted common stock. Such warrant has an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires on December 11, 2006.
Stock Options and WarrantsThe Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for non-employees under the fair value method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Through June 30, 2005, there have been no significant grants to non-employees.
The Company grants incentive and non-qualified stock options and has reserved 19,532,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its stock option plans. The majority of the options granted become exercisable at the date of grant, and generally expire three years after the date of grant.
The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. This statement requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share as if compensation cost for the Companys stock options had been determined in accordance with the fair value method. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2005.

Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Companys net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Total stock options and warrants outstanding at June 30, 2005 that are not included in the diluted earnings per share computation are approximately 80,875. Convertible notes not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are equivalent to approximately 1,328,755 shares. These stock options, warrants and convertible notes were not included in the computation of earnings per share at June 30, 2005 due to exercise prices exceeding the average market value of the Companys common stock, and due to the Companys incurring a net loss during the periods presented.
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year (denominator). Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise, using the treasury stock method, of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible notes having a dilutive effect. The numerator for the periods presented is equal to the reported net income.
Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method for accounting for income taxes. The liability method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to differences between financial statement amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The resulting deferred income tax liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws and rates. Temporary differences consist of the difference in financial statement and income tax bases for accounting for start-up and organizational costs. Deferred income taxes related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets related to losses accumulated during the development stage and thereafter have been reduced by a corresponding valuation allowance at June 30, 2005, and accordingly, no income tax expense or benefit has been recognized. Net operating loss carryforwards approximating $9.2 million expire in the years 2013 through 2019.
2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
During the period ending June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,890,955. Since the Company completed its reverse merger on October 28, 2004, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating $7.5 million. The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to take advantage of acquisition opportunities, raise capital through private securities offerings, secure collateralized debt financing and use these sources of capital to grow and enhance its oil and gas production and gas pipeline transmission operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of BC&D Oil & Gas Corporation (BC&D). The acquisition of BC&D marked the initial entrance of the Company into the oil and natural gas production business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company negotiated the acquisition of OGC, a gas gathering company. The OGC acquisition added a pipeline network to the Companys assets enabling the Company to diversify into the oil and gas transmission business. In addition, the Company has acquired a 50% interest in Decarb, Energy Ventures Organization, Inc. (Energy Ventures), and Earth Biofuels, Inc. (Biofuels). Decarb and Energy Ventures are focused on developing hydrogen power projects, while Biofuels produces and distributes bio-diesel fuel. The Company believes these acquisitions will be a part of establishing future financial stability. In July of 2005 the Company completed a $3.0 million financing consisting of convertible notes with related warrants. The Company collateralized certain of its oil and gas assets and properties along with its pipeline assets to secure this funding. Please see note 13 (Subsequent Events) for terms relating to the $3.0 million financing. The Company has also continued to raise capital through a variety of private securities offerings of its common stock.
Management is focusing on expanding and improving its oil and natural gas production operations and alternative fuels ventures. Through acquisition, organic growth and funding via collateralized loans and private placement offerings, the Company plans to continue to increase the profitability of its operations necessary to support operations.
There can be no assurance that any of managements plans as described above will be successfully implemented or that the Company will continue as a going concern.

The Companys Liquidity Plan
Recent operating results give rise to concerns about the Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations sufficient to make scheduled debt payments as they become due. On July 7, 2005 the Company completed a $3.0 million financing. This financing allowed the Company to secure full payment of its pipeline assets and infuse capital into its oil and gas subsidiary BC&D as well as continue funding its alternative fuels joint ventures. As of June 30, 2005, the Company continued to seek other financing from private placements and other acquisitions to expand its opportunities in the areas of oil and gas production, oil and gas transmission and alternative fuels businesses. The Company has implemented cost saving measures including staff reductions. The Company will take additional cost savings measures, if necessary, to enhance its liquidity position.
The Companys need to raise additional equity or debt financing and the Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations sufficient to make scheduled payments on its debts as they become due will depend on its future performance and the Companys ability to successfully raise capital and implement business and growth strategies. The Companys performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these factors are beyond the Companys control. If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet the Companys debt obligations and commitments, the Company may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures, obtain additional equity capital or restructure or refinance its debt. In the event that the Company is unable to do so, the Company may be left without sufficient liquidity and it may not be able to meet its debt service requirements. In such a case, this could result in a substantial portion of the Companys indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable. As a result, the Company may not be able to continue operations due to liens, collateralized notes or other secured positions placed on the Companys assets.
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development of oil and gas properties whereby all costs in acquiring, exploring and developing properties are capitalized, including estimates of abandonment costs, net of estimated equipment salvage costs. No costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities have been capitalized. Leasehold costs are depleted based on the units-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows:

Effective March 18, 2005, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement with shareholders of Kaliningrad.

$3.0 Million Convertible Notes with Warrants
On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into (and on July 7, 2005 completed the transaction contemplated by) a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with the certain investors, pursuant to which the Company issued $3,000,000 principal amount of 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and related securities.
The following summarizes the principal terms of the transaction:
Terms of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
Pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to certain investors (the Noteholders) an aggregate of $3,000,000 principal amount of 8% secured convertible promissory notes, together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, and an additional investment right entitling the Noteholders to purchase up to an additional $3,000,000 of 8% secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
These notes are secured by a continuing security interest in certain of the Companys assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement among Apollo Resources International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries BC&D Oil and Gas Corporation (BC&D) and OGC Pipeline LLC (OGC), and the Noteholders. Additional terms of the 8% secured convertible notes include:
Unless converted or redeemed as described below, the 8% secured convertible notes are due on December 30, 2007.
8% annual interest, payable semi-annually in arrears beginning December 1, 2005. The interest is payable either in cash or at the Companys option (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) in shares of the Companys common stock valued at 92.55% of the volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the payment date.
While the notes are outstanding, if the Company issues equity or equity linked securities at a price lower than the conversion price, then the conversion price of these 8% secured convertible notes will be reduced to the same price.
The notes are convertible at any time at the option of the Noteholders into shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. The conversion price is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including stock dividends and stock splits, mergers or consolidations, or certain issuances of common stock at a price below the initial conversion price of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth above.
The number of shares of the Companys common stock acquired by any Noteholders upon conversion of the notes is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following the conversion the total number of shares of the Companys common stock beneficially owned by the Noteholders does not exceed 4.999% of our issued and outstanding common stock.
The Company can prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest at 120% of face amount, but only if certain conditions are satisfied, including an effective registration. If the Company should elect to prepay the notes, the Noteholders will have 30 calendar days to convert the notes into shares of the Companys common stock. If the Company elects to prepay the notes, the Company must do so pro-rata amongst the Noteholders.
15
Terms of Warrants
The Company also issued warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.
The warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including stock dividends and stock splits, pro rata distributions of equity securities, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants to purchase common stock or cash or any other asset, mergers or consolidations, or certain issuances of common stock at a price below the initial exercise price of $0.30 per share.
The warrants include a cashless exercise feature, which permits the Noteholder to exercise the warrants by surrender of a portion of the warrants. The cashless exercise feature is available to the Noteholder, if at the time of exercise, there is not in effect a registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants.
Terms of Additional Investment Right
The Company also issued an additional investment right, which entitles the Noteholders to purchase (a) up to an additional $3,000,000 principal amount of 8% secured convertible notes and (b) warrants to purchase up to an additional 12,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. This additional investment right vests 30 days following the registration of the underlying shares of common stock and ends six months thereafter. The terms and conditions of the securities contained in the additional investment right will be identical to the initial notes and warrants.
Registration of Common Stock
The Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants, as well as the shares related to the additional investment right. If the Company fails to file the registration statement on a timely basis, or if it is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within a maximum of 150 days from the date the Company closed the transaction contemplated by the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (July 7, 2005), the Company is required to pay to the Noteholders liquidated damages equal to 2.0% of the amount invested and liquidated damages equal to 1.0% of the amount invested for each subsequent 30-day period.
Exchange Rights
For the 24-month period from the date of the closing, if the Company completes a private equity or equity-linked financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing the notes, the Noteholders may exchange the notes at 100% of face value for the securities in such new financing, provided that the exchange is in compliance with applicable securities laws.
Right of First Offer
For the 12-month period from the date of the closing, the Noteholders will have the right of first offer to purchase all or part of any private financing, subject to certain exceptions, including employee options plans, the issuance of stock for situations involving strategic partnerships, acquisition candidates and underwritten public offerings.
Change of Control
In the event a third party acquires greater than 50% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock, the Noteholders may elect to have the notes redeemed by the Company at 110% of face value plus all accrued interest and unpaid interest, which, at the Noteholders option, may be paid in cash or common stock.
Placement Agent Fees; Other Fees
The Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. (Wainwright), as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the private placement. Under the Companys agreement with Wainwright, a cash fee of $210,000 (7% of the gross proceeds of the financing) was paid and, in addition, issued to Wainwright warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.30. The warrants generally have the same terms as the warrants issued to the Noteholders. In addition, the Company agreed to pay to
16
Wainwright a cash fee of 7% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company from the exercise of any warrants. The Company paid the Noteholders approximately $21,000 for the legal fees incurred in connection with this transaction. The Company also engaged 1st SB Partners Ltd. as an advisor in connection with the private placement. Under the Companys agreement with 1st SB, the Company paid a cash fee of $210,000 (7% of the gross proceeds of the financing) and, in addition, issued to 1st SB warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.30. The warrants generally have the same terms as the warrants issued to the Noteholders.
Acquisition of Earth Biofuels, Inc.
On August 19, 2005 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire additional shares of Biofuels, the Companys 50% owned subsidiary. As a consequence of the acquisition, the Company will own 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of Biofuels. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company will issue 6 million restricted shares of its common stock to Biofuels shareholders.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company derives its revenue primarily from monthly oil and natural gas production sales and rental fees related to its gas pipeline. During the first six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a stock sale agreement with shareholders of Kaliningrad, a Russian oil and natural gas production company. This agreement adds to the Companys domestic oil and natural gas production company, BC&D, acquired in 2004. With these events the Company changed its business focus to oil and natural gas production from the development of hydrogen generating technology. The Company continued to expand its capabilities in the oil and natural gas business by acquiring a series of pipelines. In addition, during the first quarter of 2005, the Company started its alternative fuels business segment designed to complement the growing need for alternative energy sources versus the increasing demand of traditional oil and natural gas energy sources. The Company also focused on raising capital through private placements of its common stock and securing collateralized debt financing essential to providing the capital to expand its business segments.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, observance of industry trends and various other sources of information and factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas production revenue is recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground. Rental fee revenue related to transmission of gas through pipelines is collected on a monthly basis based on the volume of gas transmitted.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. Under the purchase method the Company reports the acquired entities assets and liabilities at fair market value. Any excess of the fair market value of the consideration given over the fair market value of the net assets acquired is reported as goodwill. If the fair market value of the consideration given is less than the fair market value of the net assets acquired, the resulting excess of fair value of acquired net assets over the cost of the acquired entity is allocated, on a pro rata basis, against certain assets acquired in the business combination. If any excess over cost remains after reducing certain assets to zero, the remaining excess is recognized as an extraordinary gain. The operating statements of the Company for purchase method combinations report combined results only for the period subsequent to the combination.

Extraordinary Item
Effective March 31, 2005 the Company executed a Compromise of Debt Agreement with Koch. This agreement effectively reduced the principal and interest obligation on the note payable assumed in the acquisition of OGC in February of 2005. The principal and interest was reduced to $1,100,000 as full payment on the pipeline assets resulting in forgiveness of debt in the amount of $2,182,686 in principal and accrued interest. In July of 2005, the Company paid the note in full.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operating activities was $1,621,554 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This use of cash reflects the cash portion of the Companys net loss for the period as well as increases in accounts receivable and other assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,058 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This use of cash relates to purchases of computer equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,572,331 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Proceeds from sales of common stock of $1,837,639 and proceeds from notes payable of $112,005 primarily account for this positive cash flow. In addition, the Company paid down debt in the amount of $377,313.
During the period ending June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,890,955. Since the Company completed its reverse merger on October 28, 2004, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating $7.5 million. The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to take advantage of acquisition opportunities, raise capital through private securities offerings, secure collateralized debt financing and use these sources of capital to grow and enhance its oil and gas production and gas pipeline transmission operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of BC&D Oil & Gas Corporation (BC&D). The acquisition of BC&D marked the initial entrance of the Company into the oil and natural gas production business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company negotiated the acquisition of OGC, a gas gathering company. The OGC acquisition added a pipeline network to the Companys assets enabling the Company to diversify into the oil and gas transmission business. In addition, the Company has acquired a 50% interest in Decarb, Energy Ventures Organization, Inc. (Energy Ventures), and Earth Biofuels, Inc. (Biofuels). Decarb and Energy Ventures are focused on developing hydrogen power projects, while Biofuels produces and distributes bio-diesel fuel. The Company believes these acquisitions will be a part of establishing future financial stability. In July of 2005 the Company completed a $3.0 million financing consisting of convertible notes with related warrants. The Company collateralized certain of its oil and gas assets and properties along with its pipeline assets to secure this funding. Please see note 13 (Subsequent Events) for terms relating to the $3.0 million financing. The Company has also continued to raise capital through a variety of private securities offerings of its common stock.
Management is focusing on expanding and improving its oil and natural gas production operations and alternative fuels ventures. Through acquisition, organic growth and funding via collateralized loans and private placement offerings, the Company plans to continue to increase the profitability of its operations necessary to support operations.
There can be no assurance that any of managements plans as described above will be successfully implemented or that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Companys Liquidity Plan
Recent operating results give rise to concerns about the Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations sufficient to make scheduled debt payments as they become due. On July 7, 2005 the Company completed a $3.0 million financing. This financing allowed the Company to secure full payment of its pipeline assets and infuse capital into its oil and gas subsidiary BC&D as well as continue funding its alternative fuels joint ventures. As of June 30, 2005, the Company continued to seek other financing from private placements and other acquisitions to expand its opportunities in the areas of oil and gas production, oil and gas transmission and alternative fuels businesses. The Company has implemented cost saving measures including staff reductions. The Company will take additional cost savings measures, if necessary, to enhance its liquidity position.
19
The Companys need to raise additional equity or debt financing and the Companys ability to generate cash flow from operations sufficient to make scheduled payments on its debts as they become due will depend on its future performance and the Companys ability to successfully raise capital and implement business and growth strategies. The Companys performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these factors are beyond the Companys control. If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet the Companys debt obligations and commitments, the Company may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures, obtain additional equity capital or restructure or refinance its debt. In the event that the Company is unable to do so, the Company may be left without sufficient liquidity and it may not be able to meet its debt service requirements. In such a case, this could result in a substantial portion of the Companys indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable. As a result, the Company may not be able to continue operations due to liens, collateralized notes or other secured positions placed on the Companys assets.
Risk Factors
The Companys revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and fluctuations in operating results could cause its stock price to decline.
The Companys revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors. In future quarters, operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysis or investors, and the price of its common stock may decline. Factors that could cause quarterly fluctuations include:
the ability to secure new significant contracts during a quarter; and
the ability to raise the necessary capital to fund working capital, execute mergers, acquisitions and asset purchases.
The market in which the Company competes is intensely competitive and actions by competitors could render its services less competitive, causing revenue and income to decline.
The ability to compete depends on a number of factors outside of the Companys control, including:
the prices at which others offer competitive services, including aggressive price competition and discounting;
the ability of competitors to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns;
the extent, if any, to which competitors develop proprietary tools that improve their ability to compete; and
the extent of competitors responsiveness to customer needs.
The Company may not be able to compete effectively on these or other factors. If the Company is unable to compete effectively, market position, and therefore revenue and profitability, would decline.
The Company must continually enhance its services to meet the changing needs of its customers or face the possibility of losing future business to competitors.
Future success will depend upon the Companys ability to enhance existing services and to introduce new services to meet the requirements of customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. Present or future services may not satisfy the needs of the market. If the Company is unable to anticipate or respond adequately to its customers needs, lost business may result and financial performance will suffer.
20
The Company is dependent on a limited number of key personnel, and the loss of these individuals could harm its competitive position and financial performance.
The Companys business consists primarily of the delivery of oil and natural gas and, accordingly, its success depends upon the efforts, abilities, business generation capabilities and project execution of its executive officers. The Companys success is also dependent upon the managerial, operational and administrative skills of its executive officers. The loss of any executive officer could result in a loss of customers or revenue, and could therefore harm the Companys financial performance.
The Companys ability to secure debt and equity financing could have an adverse effect on the Companys financial health.
The inability to raise debt to fund working capital may:
require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flows to pay down debt;
increase the Companys vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
limit the Companys ability to fund future working capital and other general corporate requirements; and
limit the Companys flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the Companys business and the industry in which it operates.
The ability to make payments on and to refinance the Companys debt will depend on financial and operating performance, which may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond the Companys control.
There can be no assurance that the Companys business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to it in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay debt or to fund other liquidity needs. The Company may need to refinance all or a portion of its debt on or before maturity. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to refinance any of its debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
