NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED, CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March
31, 2008, and the cash flows and results of operations for the three and six
months then ended. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1
to the Company's consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's
2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, and it is suggested that these consolidated,
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction therewith.
"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE
---------------------------------
UNITED STATES PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------
Statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-QSB are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, among others: general economic conditions;
movements in interest rates; the market price of oil and natural gas; the risks
associated with exploration and production in the Rocky Mountain region; the
Company's ability, or the ability of its operating subsidiary, Altex Oil
Corporation ("AOC"), to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new
properties; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business;
uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of
future rates of production and timing of development expenditures; the strength
and financial resources of the Company's competitors; the Company's ability and
AOC's ability to find and retain skilled personnel; climatic conditions;
availability and cost of material and equipment; delays in anticipated start-up
dates; environmental risks; the results of financing efforts; and other
uncertainties detailed elsewhere herein and in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash balances declined $136,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2008, because
the Company used $59,000 cash in operating activities, expended $5,000 cash on
information technology, and acquired 313,623 shares of its Common Stock for
$72,000. Other current assets declined from $65,000 at September 30, 2007, to
$9,000 at March 31, 2008, principally because the Company received an income tax
refund of $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 ("Q2FY08"). At
December 31, 2007, the Company reduced proved oil and gas properties and related
accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization, and valuation allowance by
$4,000 to reflect final abandonment of wells in which the Company had owned
small over-riding royalty interests. Also at December 31, 2007, the Company
removed $36,000 from other property and equipment and related accumulated
depreciation, depletion, amortization, and valuation allowance to reflect the
abandonment of obsolete office equipment.
The Company is likely to experience negative cash flow from operations unless
and until the Company invests in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in
another venture that produces cash flow from operations. With the exception of
capital expenditures related to production acquisitions or drilling or
recompletion activities or an investment in another venture that produces cash
flow from operations, none of which are currently planned, the cash flows that
could result from such acquisitions, activities, or investments, and the
possibility of a decline from the current level of interest rates, the Company
knows of no trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely
to have a material impact on the Company's short-term or long-term liquidity.
Except for cash generated by the operation of the Company's producing oil and
gas properties, asset sales, and interest income, the Company has no internal or
external sources of liquidity other than its working capital. At May 1, 2008,
the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

AOC is completing the restoration of the area that had contained its East
Tisdale Field in Johnson County, Wyoming. AOC has removed all equipment from the
field and has recontoured and reseeded virtually all disturbed areas in the
field. Barring unforeseen events, the Company does not believe that the expense
associated with any remaining restoration activities will be material, although
this cannot be assured. After AOC's bonds with the state and the Bureau of Land
Management are released, the Company does not believe it will have any further
liability in connection with the field, although this cannot be assured. The
Company regularly assesses its exposure to both environmental liability and
reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense ("RR&D"). The Company does
not believe that it currently has any material exposure to environmental
liability or to RR&D, net of salvage value, although this cannot be assured.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest income decreased from $62,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007
("Q2FY07"), to $33,000 in Q2FY08 and from $125,000 in the six months ended March
31, 2007, to $80,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2008, because of lower
interest rates and lower cash balances. General and administrative expense
decreased from $113,000 in Q2FY07 to $103,000 in Q2FY08 and from $234,000 in the
six months ended March 31, 2007, to $208,000 in the six months ended March 31,
2008, principally because of decreased consulting, insurance, and legal expense.
During Q2FY08 the Company paid $7,000 to the surface owner of its East Tisdale
Field to secure a landowner release and therefore recognized $7,000 in
reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense.
The Company's revenue currently consists almost entirely of interest earned on
cash balances. At the current level of cash balances and at current interest
rates, the Company's revenue is unlikely to exceed its expenses. Unless and
until the Company invests a substantial portion of its cash balances in
interests in producing oil and gas wells or in one or more other ventures that
produce revenue and net income, the Company is likely to experience net losses.
With the exception of unanticipated RR&D, unanticipated environmental expense,
and possible changes in interest rates, the Company is not aware of any other
trends, events, or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected
to have a material impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities. Excluding changes in other current assets, accounts
payable, and other accrued expenses, net cash used in operating activities
increased from $103,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2007, to $128,000 in
the six months ended March 31, 2008.
Investing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company
expended $6,000 on information technology, and in the six months ended March 31,
2008, the Company expended $5,000 on information technology
Financing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company
acquired 313,623 shares of its Common Stock for $72,000.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act
reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its
judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures
which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding
management's control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures
Page 6 of 7
are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the
Company's Exchange Act reports. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
