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. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Results of operations for the Company’s gas transmission company OGC Pipeline, LLC (“OGC”) have been consolidated since February 7, 2005 the effective date of the acquisition. Results of operations for the Company’s bio diesel production and distribution company Earth Biofuels, Inc. (“Biofuels”) have been consolidated since August 19, 2005 the date the Company completed the acquisition of 80% interest in Biofuels.

 

The results of operations of JSC Kaliningradneft (“Kaliningrad”) acquired March 22, 2005, are not included with the accounts presented in this Form 10-QSB. Effective November 3, 2005, the Company announced that it was exercising its contractual right to rescind the March 2005 stock sale transaction with shareholders of Kaliningrad. The Company’s decision comes after protracted efforts to resolve serious issues that were discovered by the Company post-closing, as well as efforts to resolve the failure of Kaliningrad to provide certain critical financial data that was represented in the March agreement. Specifically, shareholders of Kaliningrad had purported to transfer 90% of its issued and outstanding shares of stock to the Company; however, it has become apparent that shareholders of Kaliningrad are not in a position to transfer more than 50.10% of its stock. The Company has been in protracted discussion with the owners of the remaining shares but, so far, has been unable to reach a new agreement with them and has agreed to release any claims it may have had in regard to their shares. Additionally, Kaliningrad, pursuant to the March agreement, was required to provide the Company with audited statements for fiscal years 2003 and 2004, prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which Kaliningrad has failed to do despite repeated efforts on the part of the Company to secure them. As a result of the above issues, the Company is exercising the contractual right of rescission that was reserved to the Company under the March 2005 stock sale agreement, bill of sale, and $18.5 million convertible debenture. The Company remains in contact with the ownership of Kaliningrad and a new agreement may be reached. In the meantime, the convertible debenture issued by the Company is cancelled and the Company has reserved certain rights that it may have had under the March agreement with respect to the rescission of the stock sale transaction.

 

With the execution of the share exchange agreement on October 28, 2004, the Company affected 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 Company’s 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2005.

 

In management’s opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2005 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 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.

 

6



 

Management’s 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 Equivalents—Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Accounts Receivable— At September 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 September 30, 2005, the working interest owners accrued revenue of $58,317. As of September 30, 2005 the working interest owners owed the Company $173,298.

 

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 customer’s 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 Company’s 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.

 

Inventory — Inventory consisting of well equipment purchased in bulk for use on the Company’s oil and gas leases was $30,597 and inventories of biodiesel fuel and products purchased for resale related to the Company’s bio diesel distribution centers are included in inventory and totaled $22,210 at September 30, 2005, respectively.

 

Patents and Assigned Technology – The Company contributed its Patent technology to Decarb Energy Technologies, LLC (“Decarb”) upon entering into a joint venture with Decarb. The Patent technology related to a Hydrogen Generation System and Fuel Pellet technology relating to the production of hydrogen. Effective August 31, 2005 the Company assigned its 50% interest in Decarb to its joint venture partner. After several months of monitoring the project the Company did not feel the continuation of the hydrogen alternative fuel research would produce profitable results. With this assignment the Company released all rights to any of the 5 patents related to the hydrogen research and development.

 

Warrants – The Company issued warrants to the investors that participated in the Company’s recent private placement of 8% secured convertible promissory notes. In total, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of its common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.30 per share, and expire in June 2010. 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 holder to exercise the warrants by surrender of a portion of the warrants. The cashless exercise feature is available to the holder, if at the time of exercise, there is not in effect a registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants.

 

In addition, the Company issued to H. C. Wainwright & Co., Inc., 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 and warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.30, all of which were issued in connection with their

services as exclusive placement agent for the recent private placement. The warrants generally have the same terms as those issued to the investors. The Comapny also issued to 1st SB Partners Ltd., 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. These warrants generally have the same terms as those issued to the investors. Both H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. and 1st SB Partners Ltd., exercised their cashless exercise feature, on both warrants, on September 8, 2005. Both organizations received 1,279,458 shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of their warrants.

 

During 2003, the Company issued a former officer in connection with such officer’s 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 Warrants—The 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 September 30, 2005, there have been no significant grants to non-employees.

 

The Company grants incentive and non-qualified stock options and has reserved 23,282,000 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.

 

Under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option and Award Plan, 15,875 options were granted to an outside business consultant in 2003 in connection with strategic planning consulting services, with an exercise price of $2.00, vested immediately and exercisable until December 31, 2006.

 

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 Company’s 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.

Revenue – Oil and natural gas production revenue is recognized at the time and point of sale after the product has been extracted from the ground. Revenue from pipeline rental fees for natural gas transmission is based on volume of Mcf of natural gas metered monthly. Revenue from product sales of bio diesel fuel and other sales related to service station operations are point of sale transactions.

 

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders.

 

Earnings per Share - Earnings (loss) per common share is presented in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (SFAS 128), which requires the presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effect of dilutive securities such as stock options and warrants.

Total stock options and warrants outstanding at September 30, 2005 that are not included in the diluted earnings per share computation are approximately 12,080,875. Convertible notes not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are equivalent to approximately 13,530,651 shares. These stock options, warrants and convertible notes were not included in the computation of earnings per share at September 30, 2005 due to exercise prices exceeding the average market value of the Company’s common stock, and due to the Company’s 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 is 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 has been reduced by a corresponding valuation allowance at September 30, 2005, and accordingly, no income tax expense or benefit has been recognized. Net operating loss carryforwards approximating $1.6 million expire in the year 2019.

 

2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

During the period ending September 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net loss of $16,729,346. Since the Company completed its reverse merger on October 28, 2004, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating $18.3 million.  The Company’s 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, gas pipeline transmission operations and alternative fuels ventures, primarily its bio diesel operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of BC&D Oil and 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 Company’s assets enabling the Company to diversify into the oil and gas transmission business. In response to soaring fuel costs, and to avail itself of government subsidies and tax incentives, the Company has pursued a strategy of developing renewable forms of energy, such as bio diesel.  Consequently, on February 25, 2005 the Company acquired a 50% interest in Biofuels, a Mississippi-based company and on August 19, 2005, acquired an additional 30% ownership interest. On September 13, 2005, the Company executed a share exchange with Meadows Springs, Inc. whereby the Company contributed its 80% interest in Biofuels in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of the common stock of Meadows Springs. As a consequence of the share exchange the Company maintains a controlling interest in Meadows Springs of approximately 89% and Biofuels remains an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

 

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. 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 management’s plans as described above will be successfully implemented or that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s Liquidity Plan

 

Recent operating results give rise to concerns about the Company’s 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 September 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.

 

10



 

The Company’s need to raise additional equity or debt financing and the Company’s 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 Company’s ability to successfully raise capital and implement business and growth strategies. The Company’s performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control. If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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:

5-7 Years

(1)   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 certain investors, pursuant to which the Company issued $3,000,000 principal amount of 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and related securities. Pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the investors 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 Company’s common stock, and an additional investment right entitling the holders to purchase from the Company 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 Company’s common stock. These notes are secured by a continuing security interest in certain of the Company's assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement among the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries BC&D and OGC, and the investors. These notes are recorded at their fair value based on the allocation of the fair value of the convertible notes and related warrants. The notes accrete interest in the amount of $59,109 per month until maturity or conversion by the investors. 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 Company’s option (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at 92.55% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s 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 holder into shares of the Company’s 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.

 

 

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock acquired by any holder upon conversion of the notes is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following the conversion the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the holder 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 holders will have 30 calendar days to convert the notes into shares of our common stock. If the Company elects to prepay the notes, it must do so pro-rata amongst the holders.

MANAGEMENT’S 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, rental fees related to its gas pipeline and sales of bio diesel fuel. 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. Revenue from product sales of bio diesel fuel and other sales related to service station operations are point of sale transactions.

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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $18,419,179 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. These costs reflect $4.2 million of non-cash stock compensation expense incurred through the issuance of common stock in private placements and $4.4 million of non-cash consulting expense incurred through the issuance of the Company’s common stock. The Company also incurred non-cash expense for the issuance of common stock valued at $4.9 million as compensation to executive and non-executive employees. The balance of operating expenses was primarily related to personnel salary and benefit costs, travel, and professional fees for management, legal and accounting services.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $437,826. This income is primarily related to increases in the Company’s investment in its bio diesel alternative fuels joint venture.

 

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 $3,869,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  This use of cash reflects the cash portion of the Company’s net loss for the period as well as increases in other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $213,246 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This use of cash primarily related to capital expenditures for land and building construction for the Company’s bio diesel plant and the purchase of computer equipment and software.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,059,449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company received proceeds of $3,000,000 related to the issuance of convertible notes. Proceeds from sales of common stock of $2,462,163 and proceeds from notes payable of $112,005 account for this positive cash flow. In addition, the Company paid down debt in the amount of $1,514,719.

 

During the period ending September 30, 2005, the Company recorded a net loss of $16,729,346. Since the Company completed its reverse merger on October 28, 2004, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating $18.3 million.  The Company’s 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, gas pipeline transmission operations and alternative fuels ventures, primarily its bio diesel operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of BC&D Oil and 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 Company’s assets enabling the Company to diversify into the oil and gas transmission business. In response to soaring fuel costs, and to avail itself of government subsidies and tax incentives, the Company has pursued a strategy of developing renewable forms of energy, such as bio diesel.  Consequently, on February 25, 2005 the Company acquired a 50% interest in Biofuels, a Mississippi-based company and on August 19, 2005, acquired an additional 30% ownership interest. On September 13, 2005, the Company executed a share exchange with Meadows Springs, Inc. whereby the Company contributed its 80% interest in Biofuels in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of the common stock of Meadows Springs. As a consequence of the share exchange the Company maintains a controlling interest in Meadows Springs of approximately 89% and Biofuels remains an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

 

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. The Company has also continued to raise capital through a variety of private securities offerings of its common stock.

 

19



 

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 management’s plans as described above will be successfully implemented or that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s Liquidity Plan

 

Recent operating results give rise to concerns about the Company’s 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 September 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 Company’s need to raise additional equity or debt financing and the Company’s 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 Company’s ability to successfully raise capital and implement business and growth strategies. The Company’s performance will also be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control. If future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s assets.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At September 30, 2005 the Company had no obligations that would qualify to be disclosed as off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Risk Factors

 

The Company’s revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and fluctuations in operating results could cause its stock price to decline.

 

The Company’s 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.

 

20



 

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

 

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s financial performance.

 

The Company’s ability to secure debt and equity financing could have an adverse effect on the Company’s 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 Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

 

limit the Company’s ability to fund future working capital and other general corporate requirements; and

 

 

limit the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates.

 

The ability to make payments on and to refinance the Company’s 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 Company’s control.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

 

On March 7, 2005, the Company received notice that it has been named as a defendant, among others, by plaintiffs Donnie Hill, a former employee of the Company, and BC&D Operating Co., Inc. Case No. CV-2005-128 in the Fifth Judicial District Court, State of New Mexico, for the County of Lea. The plaintiffs allege breach of contract related to certain stock purchase agreements with the preceding owner of BC&D, breach of contract related to Mr. Hill’s employment agreement with the preceding owner of BC&D, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation, violation of the New Mexico Securities Act by the preceding owner of BC&D, civil conspiracy, calling for the appointment of a receiver for the assets and business affairs of BC&D, constructive trust, declaratory judgment related to the Company election as successor operators and lastly punitive damages related to the above allegations. These allegations stem from the Company’s execution of a share exchange agreement with TKM, whereby the Company gained control of 100% of the assets of BC&D.

 

On August 31, 2005, the parties agreed to settle the case. Under the terms of the settlement the Company will pay to the plaintiffs a) $125,000 in cash; (b) payment in the form of the Company’s common stock totaling $300,000, payable over 6 months; (c) 260,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (d) the issuance of common stock with a value of $63,000 as of August 31, 2005.

 

The Company has become subject to various claims and other legal matters in the course of conducting its business. The Company believes that neither such claims and legal matters nor the cost of prosecuting and/or defending such claims and legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. No material claims are currently pending; however, no assurances can be given that future claims, if any, may not be material.
