To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of |
|
Castleguard Energy, Inc. |
|
|
|
|
|
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Castleguard Energy, Inc. as of March 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the three month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. |
|
|
|
We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of analytical procedures applied to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. |
|
|
|
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |

Note 2 - Long-Term Debt |
|
|
|
The Company is party to a debt agreement with a commercial bank that provides for a $2,000,000 term note with an initial borrowing base of $322,333 which is reduced at the rate of $21,667 per month. Principal payments of $21,667 per month are due when the amounts outstanding on this note exceed the borrowing base. At December 31, 2004, the borrowing base was less than the outstanding note balance. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (5.25% at December 31, 2004) plus .75 percent. The note is collateralized by all of the Company's oil and gas properties. Debt covenants restrict other debt, pledge of assets, sales of assets, payment of dividends, mergers and changes in ownership. |
|
|
|
On April 7, 2005, the Company negotiated new terms for the agreement which extends its maturity to February 1, 2006, provides for a $5,000 principal reduction immediately and further reductions of $7,500 each month beginning July 1, 2005. |

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL |
|
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and section 21e of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "exchange act"). Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding Castleguard Energy Inc.'s financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management of the Company for future operations are forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the Company or Company management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including, without limitation, price levels for oil and natural gas, concentration of oil and natural gas reserves and production, drilling risks, uncertainty of oil and gas reserves, risks associated with the development of additional revenues and with the acquisition of oil and gas properties and other energy assets, operating hazards and uninsured risks, general economic conditions, governmental regulation, changes in industry practices, marketing risks, one time events and other factors described herein ("cautionary statements"). Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward- looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward- looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. Reference is made to disclosure regarding "Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference. |
|
The Company is an independent oil and gas exploration company whose strategic focus is the application of advanced seismic imaging and computer-aided exploration technologies in the systematic search for commercial hydrocarbon reserves, primarily in the states of Texas and Louisiana. The Company attempts to leverage its technical experience and expertise with seismic technology to identify exploration and exploitation projects with significant potential economic return. The company intends to participate in selected exploration projects as a non-operating, working interest owner, sharing both risk and rewards with its partners. The Company has and will continue to pursue exploration opportunities in regions where the Company believes significant opportunity for discovery of oil and gas exists. By reducing drilling risk through seismic technology, the Company seeks to improve the expected return on investment in its oil and gas exploration projects. The Company attempts to limit capital requirements by forming industry alliances and exchanges a portion of its interest for cash and/or a carried interest in its exploration projects. |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
|
|
|
Overall Operations |
|
|
|
Mechanical problems and rapid well decline curves have adversely affected production in the Minden Louisiana Field for the last two years. Although some wells have been worked over and production increased, overall production continues to decline more rapidly than anticipated. The decline has adversely affected revenues and cash flow. In addition, a regulatory action in 2003 to retroactively reduce our share of a former producing well required a payment of $83,631 which further exacerbated our reduced cash resources. Consequently, in 2003 we farmed out a portion of a new well drilled and in 2004 only participated in our share of costs to work over two wells. The production declines have resulted in a reduction of our reserves that caused an increase in our rate of depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) during 2004. Consequences of the foregoing are described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources". |

|
Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2005 vs. 2004 |
|
|
|
First quarter 2005 (this year) loss of $11,258 ($.00 per share) is a reversal from net income of $7,971 ($.00 per share) in the first quarter of 2004 (last year). The reversal was driven by a 23% decline in natural gas volumes and a 59% decline in oil volumes from 2004, offset by improved prices for both commodities. Natural gas sales volumes were 7,480 mcf this year versus 9,665 mcf last year and crude oil production declined to 274 barrels from 670 barrels last year. The production declines were attributable to lower production rates from our Minden Louisiana field whose production rates started to decline in the last half of 2002 when we experienced mechanical problems with some of the wells. Although workover of the wells was successful, the production rates continue to decline more rapidly than our original expectations. |
|
|
|
The combination of lower production and higher prices for natural gas and crude oil resulted in a 23% decline in revenues to $59,233 from $77,043 in 2004. |
|
|
|
Expenses were largely stable from quarter to quarter but depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) were up 117% from applying the rates effective in 2004 which were higher as the result of lower year-end reserves. |
|
|
|
|
|
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES |
|
|
|
Capital resources and liquidity have been strained since 2003. Our borrowing arrangement with a commercial bank was revised in 2003 to provide some relief but lower production volumes, less cash flow and our share of workover costs have combined to exceed our cash inflows. The operator of wells in Minden started offsetting our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2004 and will continue until we have fully paid our obligation sometime during the second quarter of 2005. As a consequence, during the fourth quarter we started delaying bill paying and principal reductions on our bank obligation. In early April 2005, we negotiated new terms on the bank debt, to bring the note current with a principal reduction of $5,000 and a revised maturity of February 1, 2006. Terms provide for principal reductions of $7,500 per month plus interest beginning July 1, 2005. Bank officials indicated a willingness to review the status again in early 2006. |
|
|
|
The effect of the foregoing is that cash resources are strained and it will take a few months to pay past due bills from vendors. During that time and into the future, little if any capital is available for any new projects or significant workovers of existing wells. The Board of Directors is assessing the future direction of the Company. |
|
|
|
Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
|
|
|
(a) |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. |
|
|
|
