Description of Business
|
|
|
|
|
|
Royalite Petroleum Company Inc., referred to as the
Company, is considered an exploration stage company. The Company's
primary objective is to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas
projects, and has not yet realized any revenues from this primary
objective.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has acquired interests in properties through
leases on which it will drill oil or gas wells in efforts to discover
and/or to produce oil and gas. The Company has a 100% working interest and
a 87.5% net revenue interest in undeveloped properties in Utah and has a
working interest from 26.25% to 100% and a net revenue interest from
18.375% to 70% in undeveloped properties in Texas and Louisiana
respectively. The Company is exploring various oil and gas properties at
this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company holds the exclusive rights to use all
information relating to minerals and hydrocarbons in the State of Utah
derived from a proprietary electromagnetic sensing technology.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
History
|
|
|
|
|
|
Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. (the Company), formerly
Worldbid Corporation, was incorporated on August 10, 1998 in the State of
Nevada as Tethercam Systems, Inc (Tethercam). On January 15, 1999,
Tethercam changed its name to Worldbid Corporation (Worldbid).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Effective February 28, 2007, Worldbid completed the
acquisition of Royalite Petroleum Corporation (RPC), an exploration
stage company since its formation in the State of Nevada on December 2,
2005.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The acquisition of RPC was completed by way of a
"triangular merger" pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Agreement and Plan of Merger (First Merger Agreement) among RPC,
Worldbid and Worldbids wholly owned subsidiary, Royalite Acquisition
Corp. (Worldbid Sub). Under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, RPC
was merged with and into Worldbid Sub, with Worldbid Sub continuing as the
surviving corporation (First Merger). Immediately following the
completion of the First Merger, Worldbid completed a second merger whereby
Worldbid Sub was merged with and into Worldbid, with Worldbid continuing
as the surviving corporation (Second
Merger).

|
History (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger Agreement each share of RPCs issued and outstanding common stock, immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger, was converted into one share of Worldbids
common stock. As a result, Worldbid issued a total of 24,960,667 shares or approximately 67% of its issued and outstanding common stock to the former shareholders of RPC. Following the transaction, Worldbid had 35,875,270 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a result of the completion of the First Merger and the Second Merger (together known as the Royalite Transaction), Worldbid acquired all the property and assets of RPC, including the rights to oil and gas leases on
approximately 69,000 net acres of land along the Utah Hingeline Trend of south-central Utah and a 2.5% royalty interest in all of the oil and gas produced, sold or used off of 285 acres of land, also located along the Utah Hingeline Trend. In
addition to acquiring all of RPCs property and assets, Worldbid assumed all of RPCs debts and liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As part of the Second Merger, Worldbid changed its name to Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. (the Company). Effective March 5, 2007, the Company changed its trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board from
WBDC to RYPE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For accounting purposes, the Royalite Transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. The Royalite Transaction is treated, in the accompanying financial statements as
equivalent to the issuance of shares by RPC (the private company) for the assets of Worldbid (the public company). The accounting for the Royalite Transaction is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the historical
financial information of the accompanying financial statements is that of RPC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 10,914,603 shares of Worldbid at February 28, 2007 are presented in the Companys Statement of Stockholders Equity as if RPC acquired Worldbid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On July 7, 2008, Royalite Petroleum Company Inc. (the Company) completed the disposition of Worldbid International Inc. (Worldbid), its internet business, to Marktech Acquisition Corp.
(Marktech). The disposition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement dated June 5, 2008 (the Share Purchase Agreement) among the Company, Marktech and Worldbid. The Company disposed
of the subsidiary in order to concentrate its efforts on its core oil and gas business. (Note 3)

Going Concern
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of July 31 2008, the Company incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $6,148,088 from operations and has a negative working capital of $5,627,864. The Company is still in the exploration stage, raising
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing
its objectives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the successful execution of the Companys strategic plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

a)
|
Basis of Presentation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Worldbid International Inc., a Company domiciled in the state of Nevada for the period from its acquisition on February 28, 2007 to
the time of disposal on July 7, 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
Use of Estimates
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
|
|
|
c)
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

(Continued)

d)
|
Oil and Gas Exploration Activity
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves, whether productive or unproductive, are
capitalized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Such expenditures include land acquisition costs, drilling, exploratory dry holes, geological and geophysical costs not associated with a specific unevaluated property, completion and costs of well equipment. Internal costs are
capitalized only if they can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration, or development activities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Expenditures that are considered unlikely to be recovered are written off. On a quarterly basis the Board of Directors assesses whether or not there is an asset impairment. The current oil and gas exploration and development
activities are considered to be in the exploration stage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The costs of unproved leases, which become productive, are reclassified to proved properties when proved reserves are discovered in the property. To date no properties have been classified as proved properties. Unproved oil and
gas interests are carried at original acquisition costs including filing and title fees. Depreciation and depletion of the capitalized costs for producing oil and gas properties will be provided by the unit-of- production method based on proved oil
and gas reserves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Abandonment of properties are recognized as an expense in the period of abandonment and accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ceiling Test
.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the full-cost accounting rules, capitalized costs included in the full-cost pool, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), cost of unevaluated properties and deferred income taxes, may not
exceed the present value of our estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, net of related tax effects. These
rules generally require that, in estimating future net cash flow, we assume that future oil and gas production will be sold at the unescalated market price for oil and gas received at the end of each fiscal quarter and that future costs to produce
oil and gas will remain constant at the prices in effect at the end of the fiscal quarter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are required to write-down and charge to earnings the amount, if any, by which these costs exceed the discounted future net cash flows, unless prices recover sufficiently before the date of our financial statements. Given the
volatility of oil and gas prices, it is likely that our estimates of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves will change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline significantly, even if only for a short period of
time, it is possible that writedowns of oil and gas properties could occur in the future

|
Impairment of Properties
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unproved leasehold costs are reviewed periodically and a loss is recognized to the extent, if any, that the cost of the property has been impaired.
|
|
|
|
|
f)
|
Property and Equipment
|
|
|
|
|
|
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost
of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for
possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
|
|
|
|
|
g)
|
Long-Lived Assets
|
|
|
|
|
|
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of
these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.
|
|
|
|
|
h)
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market value of its assets and
liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Companys financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
|
|
|
|
|
i)
|
Foreign Currency
|
|
|
|
|
|
These financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the operations of the Companys wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Worldbid International Inc. which undertakes the Worldbid
Operations is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities measured in Canadian dollars are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheets date with revenue and expense transactions translated
using average exchange rates prevailing during the period.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company follows SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share and SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, which establish standards for the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly-held common shares and potential common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and
warrants. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.

Newly Adopted Financial Pronouncements
|
|
|
|
|
|
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to irrevocably elect fair value on a contract-by-contract basis as
the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities and certain other items including insurance contracts. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in
earnings and to expense upfront cost and fees associated with the item for which the fair value option is elected. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a
fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company adopted the standard on May 1. 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In June 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-03, Accounting for Non-Refundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities
(
"EITF 07-03"). EITF 07-03
provides guidance on whether non- refundable advance payments for goods that will be used or services that will be performed in future research and development activities should be accounted for as research and development costs or deferred and
capitalized until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been rendered. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company adopted the standard on May 1, 2008 and does not expect the standard
to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

|
New Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and
determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year commencing May 31, 2009. The
management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in consolidated Financial Statements - an Amendment of ARB No. 51." This statement requires that noncontrolling or minority interests in subsidiaries be
presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parents' equity, and that the amount of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly
identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.

|
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No.133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the
derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No.133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No.161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS
No.161 may have on our financial statements.

|
|
|
|
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.163 Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contractsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60, which requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability
prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts,
including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163. is effective for financial

On July 7, 2008, the Company completed the disposition of Worldbid International Inc. (Worldbid), its internet business, to Marktech Acquisition Corp. (Marktech). The disposition was completed pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement dated June 5, 2008 (the Share Purchase Agreement) among the Company, Marktech and Worldbid. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company sold all of the shares of
Worldbid and all Worldbid related business assets to Marktech in consideration of $50,000 and the assumption of approximately $94,000 in liabilities. The purchase price consisted of $25,000 in cash and a non-interest bearing promissory

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
|
|
|
|
a)
|
Commitment
|
|
|
|
|
|
On April 2, 2008, the Company entered into a management agreement with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, a management fee of $10,000 per month is to be paid based on a
commitment to work 90 hours per month on our business development. The term of the management agreement is for a period of two years expiring at the close of business on March 31, 2010, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the
agreement or extended by the Board.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
Contingencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company is a defendant in a suit that seeks the return of certain funds invested in the Company, plus damages and costs. Specifically, the Bank of Montreal (the Bank) has claimed for the return of certain monies
invested in the Company from funds they claim were misappropriated from the Bank. The Company has filed a statement of defense denying any liability on the basis that no misappropriated funds were received by the Company. Management and legal
counsel for the Company are of the opinion that the Banks claim is without merit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On September 13, 2007, the Company was served with notice of a claim filed against us in the Colorado District Courts by DHS Drilling Company (DHS). DHS has claimed that we are indebted to them in the amount of
$555,802 on account of materials and services provided by them in connection with the drilling of the Royalite State 16-1 Well. As at July 31, 2008, the Company had provided for costs of $555,802 in relation to this claim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subsequent to the period end, on August 31, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with DHS. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay $100,000 to DHS on execution of the settlement agreement and
$484,820.11 thereafter. The Company has paid $25,000 of the initial $100,000 under the settlement agreement to DHS. Due to our inability to pay the initial $100,000, DHS obtained a judgment order against us in the amount of
$559,830.11 (the balance remaining under the settlement agreement) plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

INTRODUCTION
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
August 10, 1998.
We are engaged in the business of the acquisition and
exploration of oil and gas properties and prospects. We hold interests in
certain oil and gas properties and prospects that we call the Airport Leases,
the West Lake Boudreaux Prospect, the S. Rosenburg Prospect and the Central Utah
Hingeline Project, the details of which are set out below under the heading Oil
and Gas Exploration Activities.
Until recently, we were also engaged in the operation of an
international business-to-business and government-to-business facilitation
service, which combined proprietary software with the power of the Internet to
bring buyers and sellers together from around the world for interactive trade
(the Worldbid Operations).

On September 15, 2008, we entered into an agreement (the
Consulting Agreement) with La Jolla IPO Incorporated (La Jolla). The
Consulting Agreement, dated for reference September 8, 2008, provides that
La Jolla will assist us in our efforts to seek out equity financing and
will provide us with investor relations services. If we enter into a
funding agreement as a result of La Jollas efforts, we have agreed to pay
La Jolla a fee of 7 2/3% of the total amount of financing received by us.
In the event that we enter into a joint venture, sales or sales
distribution agreement as a result of La Jollas efforts, we have agreed

under such an agreement. La Jolla is required to perform its duties in
compliance with all securities and other laws. The Consulting Agreement
extends for a period of six months.
|
|

In consideration for the services to be provided by La
Jolla, we have issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to La Jolla.
The shares were issued to La Jolla in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation

the Plan will increase effective on the first day of each of our fiscal

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Airport Leases
On April 2, 2008, we entered into an agreement with May
Petroleum, Inc. (May), a Texas company controlled by our Norris R. Harris, our
Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director, to acquire Mays interest in an
oil and gas prospect (the Prospect) in Matagorda County, Texas, including
obtaining an assignment of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Purchase and Sale
Agreement) to acquire a 70% net
4
revenue interest in a lease covering approximately 1,500 acres
(the Airport Lease) and obtaining and reviewing significant geophysical,
geological, title and engineering data (the Data) on the Airport Lease and an
area of mutual interest (the Area of Mutual Interest) covering 30 square miles
surrounding the Airport Lease.
Under the terms of the Agreement, May transferred and assigned
to us all its right, title and interest in the Prospect, the Purchase and Sale
Agreement and the Data in consideration of the following:
(a)
|
the issuance to May of 50,000,000 shares of our common
stock within five (5) business days of the date of the Agreement (which
shares have been issued); and
|
|
|
(b)
|
the reimbursement to May within thirty (30) days of the
date of the Agreement of the $100,000 deposit paid by May under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement (which amount has been
paid).
|
The Agreement also contemplates that any other property
interest acquired in the Area of Mutual Interest shall become part of the
Prospect and subject to the Agreement.
We will be responsible for making all payments and completing
all acts required under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other agreements
in respect of properties comprising the Prospect. Under the terms of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, we are required to pay an additional $900,000 as
follows:
|
(i)
|
$400,000 on April 21, 2008, which amount has been paid;
and
|
|
(ii)
|
$500,000 on July 13, 2008, which amount has been
paid.
|
Under the terms of the Airport Lease, we will be required to
commence operations to drill on or before August 1, 2008. In addition, we will
be obligated to pay an operation bonus payment of $150,000 to the landowner,
which amount has been paid. On August 1, 2008, we commenced our operations to
drill on the Airport Lease.
Subsequent to entering into the Agreement, we have acquired
additional acreage in and around the Airport Leases. As a result, we have
increased our acreage to approximately 2,764 acres.
West Lake Boudreaux Prospect
We acquired a 27.5% working interest (19.8% net revenue
interest) in oil and gas leases totaling 192.12 net acres and 698.62 gross acres
in the Westlake Boudreaux Field located in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana shallow
state waters. The first well is expected to be drilled during the last quarter
of 2008. The well will be drilled to a depth of 13,900 feet to test the Tex.
W-1, Tex. W.B, and Tex W-2 sands which are productive in other wells in the
field.
S. Rosenburg Prospect
Our interest in the S. Rosenburg Prospect consists of a 26.25%
working interest covering 935 acres located in Fort Bend, Texas.
Central Utah Hingeline Project
We have leased 67,025 net acres covering 69,759 gross acres
along the four main Hingeline faults located within a five county area of
Southern Utah. Our exploration and development program on this property has been
suspended pending our ability to obtain additional financing. We will be
focusing our resources on the development of the Airport Leases and the West
Lake Boudreaux Prospect.

WORLDBID OPERATIONS
On July 7, 2008, we completed the disposition of our Worldbid
Operations. The disposition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Share Purchase Agreement dated June 5, 2008 (the Share Purchase
Agreement) among the Company, Marktech Acquisition Corp. (Marktech) and
Worldbid International Inc. (Worldbid). Under the terms of the Share Purchase
Agreement, we sold all of the shares of Worldbid and all Worldbid related
business assets to Marktech in consideration of $50,000 and the assumption of
approximately $93,000 in liabilities. The cash portion of the purchase price
consisted of $25,000 in cash and a non-interest bearing promissory note in the
amount of $25,000 in favor of the Company due on August 6, 2008 (which amount
has been paid). As additional consideration, we assigned to Marktech its right
and interest in the intercompany loan between the Company and Worldbid. In
addition, Marktech will indemnify us from any liabilities or damages arising out
of the liabilities of Worldbid and the liabilities assumed by Marktech. We
disposed of the subsidiary in order to concentrate our efforts on our core oil
and gas business.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to
continue with the exploration and development of our oil and gas operations. We
plan to focus our resources on the exploration and development of the Airport
Leases and West Lake Boudreaux Prospect.
Airport Leases
We commenced the preliminary work to our drilling operations on
the Airport Leases on August 1, 2008. Subject to our ability to obtain
sufficient financing, we anticipate that we will commence drilling on the
Airport Leases in the third quarter of 2008. Our drilling program on the Airport
Leases is expected to cost between $100,000 to $16,000,000 and will be dependent
upon our ability to obtain substantial financing.
West Lake Boudreaux Prospect
Our plan of operation for our West Lake Boudreaux Prospect is
to commence drilling in the last quarter of 2008. The well will be drilled to a
depth of 13,900 feet to test the Tex. W-1, Tex. W.B, and Tex W-2 sands which are
productive in other wells in the field. The well is projected to cost $6,453,300
to drill and complete with our portion estimated at $1,774,657.
We do not currently have, and are not expected to have,
sufficient capital resources to meet all of the anticipated costs of our plan of
operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability to complete the plan
of operation for our oil and gas operations will be dependent upon our ability
to obtain additional financing.

The decrease of our oil and gas exploration expenses for the
three months ended July 31, 2008 is due to the fact that we did not have
sufficient resources to carry out our exploration and drilling program on our
oil and gas properties.
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended
July 31, 2008 primarily relate to remuneration paid to our officers and
directors; and accounting and legal fees in connection with our ongoing filing
requirements under the Exchange Act.
Subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, we
expect that our total operating expenses will continue to increase in the
foreseeable future as we proceed with our oil and gas exploration and
development activities on our Airport Leases and West Lake Boudreaux Prospect.

The increase in our working capital deficit at July 31, 2008
from our year ended April 30, 2008 is primarily a result of the fact that we had
no revenue or sources of long-term financing during the three months ended July
31, 2008.
Subsequent to our three months ended July 31, 2008, we
completed the following equity financings:
(a)
|
the sale of 8,660,000 shares of our common stock at a
price of $0.25 per share for total gross proceeds of $2,165,000;
and
|
|
|
(b)
|
the sale of 1,600,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit
for total gross proceeds of $1,600,000.
|
On August 18, 2008, we received a loan of $150,000 from Mr.
Harris, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director. The loan is non-interest
bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
Financing Requirements
On August 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a private
placement offering of up to 12,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.40 per share (the Private Placement Offering). Subsequently on August 28,
2008, the offering price for the Private Placement Offering was reduced from
$0.40 per share to $0.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,125,000.
The proceeds of the Private Placement Offering will be used to fund our business
and for working capital purposes. The Private Placement Offering will be made to
accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. We may also pay commissions of up to 10% where permitted by law
to licensed brokers or investment dealers or other qualified finders introducing
purchasers of the Private Placement Offering. There is no assurance that the
Private Placement Offering will be completed on the above terms or at all.
Historically, we have been dependent on sales of equity
securities, issuances of convertible debt securities, and related party loans as
sources of financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain
additional financing from these sources in the future. We do not currently have
any underwriting, long-term debt financing or other financing arrangements in
place.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is
no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity
securities or arrange for debt or other financing for to fund our business.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.
Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of
matters that are inherently uncertain.
8
We have identified a certain accounting policy, described
below, that is most important to the portrayal of our current financial
condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are
disclosed in Note 2 to the interim financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report.
Revenue Recognition
(i)
|
Oil and Gas Revenues We recognize oil and gas revenues
from our interests in producing wells as oil and gas is produced and sold
from these wells. We have no gas balancing arrangements in place. Since
inception, no oil and gas revenues have been recorded.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Worldbid Operations We earn revenue by selling
subscriptions to our service, advertising on email communications to
businesses using our website services, direct advertising by businesses on
our website and from data sales to consumer oriented companies. Revenue is
recognized once the service or product is delivered. Subscriptions
received in advance for access to our website services are recognized as
income over the period of the subscriptions.
|
Oil and Gas Exploration Activities
We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas
operations, whereby all costs associated with the exploration for, and
development of, oil and gas reserves, whether productive or unproductive, are
capitalized.
Such expenditures include land acquisition costs, drilling,
exploratory dry holes, geological and geophysical costs not associated with a
specific unevaluated property, completion and costs of well equipment. Internal
costs are capitalized only if they can be directly identified with acquisition,
exploration or development activities.
Expenditures that are considered unlikely to be recovered are
written off. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors assess whether or not
there is an asset impairment. The current oil and gas exploration and
development activities are considered to be in the exploration stage.
The costs of unproven leases, which become productive, are
reclassified to proved properties when proven reserves are discovered in the
property. To date, no properties have been classified as proved properties.
Unproven oil and gas interests are carried at original acquisition costs,
including filing and title fees. Depreciation and depletion of the capitalized
costs for producing oil and gas properties will e proved by the
unit-of-production method based on proven oil and gas reserves.
Abandonment of properties are recognized as an expense in the
period of abandonment and accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs.
Ceiling Test
. Under the full-cost accounting rules,
capitalized costs included in the full-cost pool, net of accumulated
depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A), cost of unevaluated
properties and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the present value of our
estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at
10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties included in the
costs being amortized, net of related tax effects. These rules generally require
that, in estimating future net cash flow, we assume that future oil and gas
production will be sold at the unescalated market price for oil and gas received
at the end of each fiscal quarter and that future costs to produce oil and gas
will remain constant at the prices in effect at the end of the fiscal quarter.
We are required to write-down and charge to earnings the amount, if any, by
which these costs exceed the discounted future net cash flows, unless prices
recover sufficiently before the date of our financial statements. Given the
volatility of oil and gas prices, it is likely that our estimates of discounted
future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves will change in the near
term. If oil and gas prices decline significantly, even if only for a short
period of time, it is possible that writedowns of oil and gas properties could
occur in the future.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2008 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of the Evaluation Date, there were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended July 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
On September 13, 2007, we were served with notice of a claim
filed against us in the Colorado District Courts by DHS Drilling Company
(DHS). DHS has claimed that we are indebted to them in the amount of
$555,801.86 on account of materials and services provided by them in connection
with the drilling of the Royalite State 16-1 Well.
On August 31, 2008, we entered into a settlement agreement with
DHS. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay $100,000 to
DHS on execution of the settlement agreement and $484,820.11 on or before
December 31, 2008. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we paid $25,000 of
the initial $100,000 under the settlement agreement to DHS. Due to our inability
to pay the initial $100,000, DHS obtained a judgment order against us in the
amount of $559,830.11 (the balance remaining under the settlement agreement)
plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
The following are some of the important factors that could
affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ
materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may
encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be
immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operation.
Risks Relating to the Company
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will
fail.
We did not earn any revenues during the period and have a
working capital deficit of $5,627,864. Accordingly, we will require additional
financing in order to complete our plan of operation for our oil and gas
activities and satisfy our existing creditors. In addition, we may not be able
to make the required rental payments on our existing oil and gas leases when
they become due. If we fail to make the required rental payments when they are
due, we may lose our rights under those leases.
We have financed our operations to date from sales of equity
securities, the issuance of convertible notes and loans advanced by related
parties. However, we do not currently have any agreements in place to obtain
additional financing from these, or any other, sources. There is no assurance
that we will be able to continue to obtain financing in amounts sufficient to
enable us to maintain our business operations. If we are not able to obtain
additional financing if and when need, our business could fail.
If we never generate operating profit, then our business
will fail.
We have sustained net losses from operations since our
inception. We recorded a net loss of $238,430 during the three months ended July
31, 2008 and we expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We may
never generate operating profits or, even if we do become profitable from
operations at some point, we may be unable to sustain that profitability. We
will not be able to achieve operating profits until we generate substantial
revenues from our business operations. Our business model is not proven and
there is no assurance that we will be able to generate the revenues. If we do
not realize significant revenues from our business operations, then our
operating expenses will continue to exceed our revenues and we will not achieve
profitability.
11
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, then we
may not be able to implement our business plan.
We depend on the services of our senior management and key
technical personnel. In particular, our future success will depend on the
continued efforts of our executive officers, Norris R. Harris, Logan B. Anderson
and D. James Fajack. The loss of the services of our executive officers could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
The quotation price of our common stock may be volatile,
with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at
a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under
the symbol "RYPE. Companies quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board have traditionally
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, our stock price
may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to
our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general economic,
political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or
international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our
common stock. In addition, to date, the trading volume for our shares on the OTC
Bulletin Board has been limited. As a result of this potential volatility and
potential lack of a trading market, an investor may not be able to sell any of
our common stock that they acquire that a price equal or greater than the price
paid by the investor.
We may conduct future offerings of our equity securities in
the future, in which case investors shareholdings will be diluted.
Since our inception, we have been reliant upon sales of our
common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in
the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects
that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional
funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current
stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock,
shareholders percentage interest in us will be diluted.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be
more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices
in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq
system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation
system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the
meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may
further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any
market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common
stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1.
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in
the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
|
2.
|
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties
to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer
with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of
securities laws;
|
3.
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a
dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the
significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
4.
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions;
|
12
5.
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or
in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
6.
|
contains such other information and is in such form,
including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by
rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and
ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in
the secondary market for our stock.
Risks Relating to Our Oil and Gas Operations
We have no proven reserves or current production and may
never have any.
We do not have any proven reserves or current production of oil
or gas. There are no assurances that any wells will be completed or, if
completed, that such wells will produce oil or gas in commercially profitable
quantities.
If we do not find any oil or gas reserves or if we cannot
complete the exploration of the mineral reserve, either because we do not have
the money to do it or because we will not be economically feasible to do it, we
may have to cease operations. Oil and gas exploration is a highly speculative
endeavor. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are
able to find oil and gas reserves on our properties our ability to put those
reserves into production is subject to further risks including:
1.
|
costs of bringing the property into production including
exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and
construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted
for;
|
2.
|
availability and costs of financing;
|
3.
|
ongoing costs of production; and
|
4.
|
environmental compliance regulations and
restraints.
|
The marketability of any oil and gas deposits acquired or
discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and
which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of
drilling equipment near our oil and gas properties, and such other factors as
government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable drilling,
production, importing and exporting of oil and gas deposits, and environmental
protection.
Our oil and gas operations are in the exploration stage with
a limited operating history, which may hinder our ability to successfully meet
our objectives.
Our oil and gas operations are in the exploration stage with
only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our future
prospects. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our oil and gas
operations is unproven. In addition, because of our limited operating history,
we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We
may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and will
be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered
by early-stage companies in evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully
address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so
could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to
suffer.
13
The successful implementation of our business plan is
subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately
managed could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations will be subject to the economic
risks typically associated with exploration and development activities,
including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire
properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the availability of
drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted,
operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development
activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in
formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development
and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result
in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploration efforts
are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities
cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against
earnings as impairments.
In addition, in the event that we commence production, of which
there are no assurances, market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory
oil and gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and gas
markets and delay production. The availability of a ready market for our
prospective oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the
demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines
and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in
substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems,
pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third
parties. A failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially
harm our business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or
because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system
capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells
until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to
identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could
result in under use of capital and losses.
The future performance of our business will depend upon an
ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are
economically recoverable. Success will depend upon the ability to acquire
working and revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are
ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and the ability to develop
prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production.
Without successful acquisition and exploration activities, we will not be able
to develop oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances
oil and gas reserves will be identified or acquired on acceptable terms, or that
oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to
recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas
properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas
prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and
other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy
inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our
exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of any
reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack
of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and
other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental
regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected
formations, pressures and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of
exploration and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
The oil and gas exploration and production industry
historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil
and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in
response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not
limited to:
|
(a)
|
weather conditions in the United States and
elsewhere;
|
|
(b)
|
economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based
products, in the United States and elsewhere;
|
|
(c)
|
actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries;
|
14
|
(d)
|
political instability in the Middle East and other major
oil and gas producing regions;
|
|
(e)
|
governmental regulations, both domestic and
foreign;
|
|
(f)
|
domestic and foreign tax policy;
|
|
(g)
|
the pace adopted by foreign governments for the
exploration, development, and production of their national
reserves;
|
|
(h)
|
the price of foreign imports of oil and gas;
|
|
(i)
|
the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil
and gas; the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
|
|
(j)
|
the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas
reserves;
|
|
(k)
|
available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation
capacity;
|
|
(l)
|
the ability of oil and gas companies to raise
capital;
|
|
(m)
|
the overall supply and demand for oil and gas;
and
|
|
(n)
|
the availability of alternate fuel
sources.
|
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our
capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will
directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by
changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and
development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce
revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are
commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in
non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. We do not currently engage in
any hedging program to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in oil and gas
prices. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to
estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and
often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as
buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties.
Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on
acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. Commodity prices
are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our properties may
be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas
involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells
involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although
productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other
hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires,
blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may
substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather
conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become
uneconomic if water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair
or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production
from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other
deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be
produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the
marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be
influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the
proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and
processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and gas prices, taxes,
royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.
The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment,
supplies, personnel and oil field services could adversely affect our ability to
execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our
budget.
Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, equipment,
supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect our exploration and
development operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
15
We may be unable to retain our leases and working interests
in leases, which would result in significant harm to our business.
Our properties are held under oil and gas leases. If we fail to
meet the specific requirements of each lease, that lease may terminate or
expire. There are no assurances the obligations required to maintain those
leases will be met. Our property interests will terminate unless we fulfill
certain obligations under the terms of our leases and other agreements related
to such properties, including making any applicable rental payments.
As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, we had a
substantial working capital deficit and there are no assurances that we will be
able to meet the rental obligations under our federal and state oil and gas
leases. If we are unable to make our rental payments and satisfy any other
conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in these properties. The
termination of our interests in these properties may harm our business.
Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless.
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease
worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. It is our practice
in acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases to
forgo the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas
interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we
rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the field work in
examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to
place under lease specific oil or gas interest. This is customary practice in
the oil and gas industry. However, we do not anticipate that we, or the person
or company acting as operator of the wells located on the properties that we
currently lease or may lease in the future, will obtain counsel to examine title
to the lease until the well is about to be drilled. As a result, we may be
unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such
deficiencies could render the lease worthless.
If we fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business
could be materially and adversely affected.
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas
industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil,
gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks.
These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life,
severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other
environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for
environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result,
substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be
incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Any prospective drilling
contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of
various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability
customary in the industry. Therefore, we do not plan to acquire our own
insurance coverage for such prospects. The occurrence of a significant adverse
event on such prospects that is not fully covered by insurance could result in
the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Complying with environmental and other government
regulations could be costly and could negatively impact prospective production.
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at
various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation
and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the
environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations
may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before
commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the
environment with drilling and production activities. Under these laws and
regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other
environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and
criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure
limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as
well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe
that insurance
16
coverage for the full potential liability of environmental
damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or
could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage
occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations
in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in
environmental laws and regulations could occur, resulting in stricter standards
and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures
and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may
not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with
oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many
of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and
other resources than we do, as well as companies in other industries supplying
energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Our larger competitors, by reason of
their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital
markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of
qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in
laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle
longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Our
competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and
may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases
and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological
advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we
can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon
our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable
properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a
highly competitive environment.

2. UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On August 6, 2008, we completed a private placement of
8,660,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for gross
proceeds of $2,165,000 (the Private Placement). We previously announced the
Private Placement for the sale of up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. As
the Private Placement was oversubscribed, our Board of Directors approved an
increase in the Private Placement of up to 8,660,000 shares of our common stock.
The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund our business and for
working capital purposes. The offering was made to accredited investors pursuant
to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

5. OTHER
INFORMATION.
Private Placement Offering
On October 14, 2008, we completed a private placement of
1,600,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $160,000.
Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one share purchase
warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share
of our common
17
stock at a price of $0.12 per share for a period of two years
from the date of issuance. The offering was made to one accredited investor
pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D.
Adoption of 2008 Stock Option Plan
On October 15, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted our 2008
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan allows us to grant certain options to
our officers, directors and employees, as well as certain qualifying
consultants.
A total of 12,000,000 shares of our common stock are available
for issuance under the Plan. However, the maximum aggregate number of shares of
our common stock that may be optioned and sold under the Plan will increase
effective on the first day of each of our fiscal quarters by an amount equal to
the lesser of: (i) 15% of the total increase in the number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the previous fiscal quarter less the number of shares
that may be sold under the Plan and the number of shares that may be issued
under any other stock option plan; or (ii) such lesser number of shares of
common stock as may be determined by our Board of Directors.
The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and
non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are
those intended to qualify as incentive stock options as defined under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as incentive
stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan must be
approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption. The Plan has not
been approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the
Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Issuance of Stock Options
Also on October 15, 2008, we issued incentive stock options to
purchase 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.16 per share to Norris R.
Harris, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director, and incentive stock
options to purchase 500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.14 per share to
James Fajack, our Chief Financial Officer and Director. The incentive stock
options may exercised on or before October 14, 2010.
We also issued non-qualified stock options to purchase
2,000,000 shares to Logan Anderson, our President, Secretary, Treasurer and
Director, and 4,000,000 shares to various employees and consultants. The
non-qualified stock options may be exercised at a price of $0.16 per share until
October 14, 2010
