Description of Business
(a)
Business Development

On September 5, 2001, Celebrity Sports acquired Powder River Basin Gas Corporation, and on June 13, 2001, Celebrity Sports changed its name to Powder River Basin Gas Corp. Until December, 2003, the Company was essentially dormant.

3.
Change of Control. On December 18, 2003, a group of investors lead by Brian Fox acquired control of the Company by way of the acquisition of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Brian Fox became the sole Director, President and Chief Executive Officer as a result of that transaction.
(b)
Business of Issuer
General. The Company is in the business of acquiring and developing the working interest in leases of oil and gas leases with the intent of reselling a portion of the working interests acquired. The Company reviews and evaluates the geological and other technical data applicable lease in order to determine the likely viability and possible profitability of commencing and completing multiple well drilling programs on the properties covered by the leases. If determined to be viable, the Company also engages third party contractors to explore for, drill, re-work and further develop the properties in order to maximize economically justified oil and gas production from those leases in a cost effective manner.
1.
Principal Products and Services. The principal products of the Company are working interests in its oil and gas leases and the oil and gas production from those leases. Each sale of working interests is made based upon the evaluation of that property. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a long term arrangement for the sale of working interests in properties which it acquired. The Company has sold most of its working interests to OilPods.com Co., an investor group in the Far East. The revenues received from the sale of a portion of the working interests are used by the Company to develop the properties and for working capital expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company received net revenues of $12,620,202 from the sale of working interests in oil and gas leases. There exist an active market for working interests in oil and gas properties, and the Company does not believe that it will have difficulty in selling working interests in existing or future properties acquired.
2.
Distribution of Products and Services. The oil and gas produced is sold at the wellhead or transported to the nearest market on a spot basis. The Company has no refining, treatment or processing facilities at any of its properties. The Company has no long term contracts for the sale of its oil and gas production. The revenues received from the sale of oil and gas production are added to working capital. Gathering and transportation facilities owned by others are generally available in near proximity to the oil and gas production of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company received net revenues of $554,192 from the sale of its oil and gas production at an average price of $63.58 per barrel of oil and $8.85 per mcf. Management of the Company expects oil and gas prices to remain above historic levels in the near future.
3.
No New Products or Services. The Company has not announced any new products or services during 2006. However, the Company has continued to engage in the acquisition of working interests in various oil and gas properties during 2006.
During 2005, the Company acquired the Monroe project containing 300 acres (more or less). At this filing date, the Company has two wells in production and one injection well in operation..
During 2005, the Company acquired the Kirby lease in Polk County, TX containing one producer and one injection well. These wells were re-completed and put in production in 2005 and are still operating.
During 2005, the Company acquired a 75% working interest in Lincoln County, Oklahoma containing 960 acres more or less. At this filing, the Company has 11 wells producing and one additional well in development...
During 2005, the Company purchased a 75% working interest in the Weesatche project in Goliad County, Texas. At this filing, the Company has 14 wells in operation on approximately 2300 acres .
During 2005, the Company purchased a project in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico. This is a re-work program as well as an offset drilling program which is planned to commence in June 2007, subject to equipment availability..
During 2006, the Company acquired an additional 20% working interest in the Weesatche project in Goliad County, Texas.
During 2006, the Company acquired a 95% working interest in the Brookshire Salt Dome project in Waller County, Texas, containing approximately 647 acres. Two wells are currently in production.
During 2006, the Company acquired a 100% working interest in a VF Foster lease in Amite County, Mississippi, which is a re-work program, containing 40 acres. This property is under development.
During 2006, the Company acquired a 65% working interest and a 48.75% net revenue interest in the Mcfadden Ranch in Victoria County, Texas, containing approximately 5,000 acres. This property is under development.
4.
Competition. The acquisition of working interests in oil and gas properties is highly competitive. The market consists of many purchasers with substantially greater financial, technical and business assets than available to the Company. Likewise, the sale of oil and gas production is competitive.
5.
Sources of Raw Materials. The demand for oil and gas drilling equipment and crews has intensified as the market for oil and gas production and related prices has increased. The Company has not experienced significant delays in procuring the necessary equipment or crews when needed, though such delays may be anticipated in the future.
6.
Dependence Upon Major Customers. In the sale of working interests in oil and gas leases, the Company is dependent upon one major customer. All of the Companys sales during 2006 and 2005 were to a single entity, OilPods.com Co, with which the Company has a long term arrangement and understanding. If this arrangement were to terminate, it could materially affect the Companys prospects. However, the Company believes that there are a large number of persons and entities interested in purchasing working interests in oil and gas properties, so that the Company could, if necessary, find alternative buyers for the sale of working interests.
In the sale of its oil and gas production, the Company is dependent upon gathering and transportation facilities owned by others in the near proximity of the wells the Company drills in order to market its production from such wells. There are multiple purchasers for any oil and gas produced.
7.
Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has no patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions, royalty arrangements other than those associated with its working interests in oil and gas properties described in Item 2 below.
8.
Government Regulation. Drilling for oil and gas is highly regulated by state agencies in which the properties are located. Permits and bonds are required to commence such operations. The Company is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and most of its oil and gas operations are located in the United States. Further, the Company has sold working interests in its oil and gas properties to persons and entities who are not citizens of Canada or of the United States. Despite the international nature of its business, the Company has not experienced any material delays or costs in meeting applicable regulatory requirements or in obtaining all requisite authorizations in order to drill and re-complete its wells.
9.
Future Government Regulation. The exploration, production and sale of oil and gas are subject to various government regulations and requirements and future governmental regulation is possible. The Company is not aware of any pending governmental proposals that will have a material effect upon its operations.
10.
Research and Development. The Company has no ongoing research and development program, but the Company spent approximately $350,000 evaluating and attempting to acquire working interests in leases on oil and gas prospects during 2006.
11.
Environmental Compliance. The Company estimates that it spent approximately $15,000 during 2006 on compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations related to its operations.
12.
Employees. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 8 full time and 2 part time employees. All employees are at will, with no written employment agreements. Much of the work done for the benefit of the Company is done by independent contractors and third party advisors on an as needed contract basis.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This report may contain "forward-looking" statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (a) projections of revenues, capital expenditures, growth, prospects, dividends, capital structure and other financial matters; (b) statements of plans and objectives of management and Board of Directors; (c) statements of future economic performance; (d) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about us and our business relating to the future; and (e) any statements using the words "anticipate," "expect," "may," "project," "intend" or similar expressions.
General. Until late December 2003, the Company was essentially dormant, holding its oil and gas properties for future development and experiencing significant operating losses. In late December, 2003, the current management of the Company acquired control of the Company by purchasing a controlling block of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company. The Companys current operations consist of acquiring and operating oil and gas properties and exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The Company does not refine or process any of the oil and gas produced from its properties. The Company sells the oil and gas produced from its properties under short-term contracts at market prices, generally at FOB field prices. The Company generally finances the purchase of new oil and gas properties by selling a portion of the working interest the Company acquires.
Market Conditions: The price of oil at December 31, 2006 was $60.80 per barrel as compared to $49.56 per barrel at December 31, 2005. The price of natural gas at December 31, 2006 was 5.60 per mcf as compared with $10.02 per mcf at December 31, 2005. The Company expects that world demand for oil and gas will continue to increase. The Company also believes that the current world political situation, particularly in the major oil and gas producing countries in the Middle East continues to be uncertain, thereby maintaining upward pressures on the price of oil and gas in the near future.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:
Total revenues increased to $13,174,394 in 2006 compared to $3,850,751 in 2005. Sales of property and working interests accounted for most of the total revenues for 2006 (96%) as compared with sale of property and working interests in 2005 (84%). The Company anticipates that oil and gas sales in fiscal 2007 will increase but expects that sales of property and working interests will continue to produce the majority of the Companys revenues.
Total expenses increased to $4,127,133 in 2006 from $2,954,816 in 2005 due primarily to substantial increases in legal and professional fees and lease operating costs. These increases are directly attributable to the increase in business activity over 2005. Management expects that total expenses will remain relatively constant as compared with 2006 during the 2007 fiscal year.
Other expense were $289,830 for 2006, including $300,000 pursuant to a settlement agreement on a note payable and $11,549 in interest expense, offset by $21,719 in interest income. Other expense for 2005 totaled $99,676, including $90,000 pursuant to a settlement agreement in connection with a lawsuit and $9,676 in interest expense.
Net income increased to $5,725,150 in 2006 from $551,251 in 2005. This substantial increase is directly attributable to the efforts of management to achieve sales of oil and gas properties and working interests in order to continue to acquire, develop and operate additional oil and gas properties. Management plans to continue to aggressively pursue its strategic objectives in fiscal 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys need for new capital is directly related to the acquisition of new oil and gas properties and to associated drilling and operating expenses. The Company expects to be able to finance new and existing drilling activities out of cash flow. The Company expects to identify and acquire oil and gas properties for future development where the cost of acquiring a working interest in identified reserves that can be exploited for cost-efficient future production and can be financed by selling a portion of the working interest to be acquired.
Cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2006 was $2,733,437 as compared to $382,861 at December 31, 2005. The increase in 2006 is due primarily to an overall increase in the revenue generated through property and working interest sales by the Company.
At December 31, 2006, accounts receivable from related parties totaled a net of $513,625. The related party is a Company that is owned by the Companys President.. Accounts receivable totaled $4,251,599, consisting of amounts received from oil and gas operations of the Company during 2006..
Property and equipment of the Company at December 31, 2006 was a net of $22,327. Property and equipment consists primarily of vehicles and computer equipment associated with operations.
At December 31, 2006, net oil and gas properties totaled $16,614,718, compared to $4,137,734 in 2005.. The substantial increase in oil and gas properties occurred due to managements aggressive acquisition of additional oil and gas properties during 2006.
At December 31, 2006, total assets were $24,895,055 compared to $8,027,027 in 2005, due to the acquisition of additional oil and gas properties. Total liabilities increased to $11,209,788 at December 31, 2006 from $2,510,835 at December 31, 2005 due primarily to increases in income taxes payable and notes payable in 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash flows from operations totaled $7,105,779. Cash for operations was generated primarily from sales of properties and working interests, proceeds from stock deposits and proceeds from the sale of common stock. For the prior year, cash flows from operations totaled $661,171. The large increase in cash flows for 2006 compared with 2005 is due primarily to an increase in revenue through the sale of property and working interests owned by the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash used in investing activities totaled $3,206,262, primarily for
expenditures for the development of oil and gas properties. In the prior year, cash used in investing activities totaled $686,572, primarily for expenditures for the development of properties, offset by proceeds from the sale of interests in leases.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash used in financing activities was $1,548,941, including payments on notes payable and long-term liabilities offset by proceeds from stock deposits and proceeds from the sale of common stock. In the prior year, proceeds from financing activities was $239,723, including proceeds from notes payable, proceeds from stock deposits and proceeds from the sale of common stock, offset by payments on notes payable and long-term liabilities.
Plans for continuing operations. Management believes its business and marketing strategy is proving to be a successful strategy for operations. The Company plans to continue to identify, evaluate, acquire working interests in oil and gas leases; sell a portion of the working interests so acquired; and to explore for, develop and market production from those operations. The Company expects to continue to be able to finance acquisitions through the sale of working interests. Management believes that revenues from operations of developed properties will increase in fiscal 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Powder River Basin Gas Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Powder River Basin Gas Corp. as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the PCAOB (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Powder River Basin Gas Corp. at December 31, 2005 , and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

POWDER RIVER BASIN GAS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
NOTE 1 -
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Colorado on August 27, 1999 as Celebrity Sports Network, Inc. The Company was formed in an effort to broaden the scope of public appearances available to current and former professional athletes. The Company, however, changed their operations in 2001 through a reverse acquisition with Powder River Basin Gas Corp., an oil and gas company.
Power River Basin Gas Corp. (PRBG) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on June 13, 2001. The Company originally was engaged in the business of assembling and managing a portfolio of undeveloped acreage in the Powder River basin coal bed methane (CBM) play in Sheridan County, Wyoming. This acreage is located in a proven geological setting and near operators such as Western Gas Resources, Barrett Resources, Phillips Petroleum, J.M. Huber and others. The Company has leasehold interests in this project totaling approximately 8,097 net acres. Two wells have been drilled on one lease and eleven additional wells have been spudded.
During 2004, the Company also purchased a 960 acre oil and gas lease in Louisiana which has nine wells. Five of the wells are in production and the other four require rework and cleanout to be activated. In November 2004, the Company purchased twenty-two wells in Louisiana, which also require rework and cleanout to be activated. Also during 2004, the Company purchased a 25% working interest in nine wells in Osage County, Oklahoma.
During 2005, the following properties were acquired:
-
A 75% working interest in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, containing 960 acres.
-
A reactivation project called the Monroe project, containing 300 acres.
-
The Kirby lease in Polk County, Texas, containing one producer and one injection well.
-
A 75% working interest in the Weesatche project in Goliad County, Texas, containing approximately 2,300 acres.
-
A 75% working interest in a San Juan Basin project in New Mexico. This is a re-work program as well as an offset drilling program, containing 3,560 acres.
During 2006, the following properties were acquired:
-
An additional 20% working interest in the Weesatche project in Goliad County, Texas.
-
A 95% working interest in the Brookshire Salt Dome project in Waller County, Texas, containing approximately 647 acres.
-
A 100% working interest in a VF Foster lease in Amite County, Mississippi, which is a re-work program, containing 40 acres.
-
A 65% working interest and a 48.75% net revenue interest in the Mcfadden Ranch in Victoria County, Texas, containing approximately 5,000 acres.
Pursuant to a reverse acquisition and reorganization agreement, PRBG was acquired by Celebrity Sports on September 5, 2001. At the time of the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Power River Basin Gas Corp. and issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock for all the issued and outstanding stock of PRBG; thus, making PRBG a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Because PRBG is the accounting acquirer in the reverse acquisition, all financial history in these financial statements are that of PRBG.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Organization (Continued)
The Company issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock for the receipt of 9,000,000 shares of PRBG, therefore, an adjustment to the shares outstanding was necessary to reflect the other shareholders of the Company at the time of acquisition. No goodwill was recorded in the acquisition, and the purchase method of accounting was used in recording the business combination.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a.
Accounting Method
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
b.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celebrity Sports Network, Inc. and PRBG. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
c.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In these consolidated financial statements assets and liabilities involve extensive reliance on managements estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
e.
Allowance for Bad Debts
Bad debts on receivables are charged to expense in the year the receivable is determined uncollectible. The allowance for bad debts on accounts receivable was $90,751 as of December 31, 2006.

f.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Oil and Gas Properties
The full cost method is used in accounting for oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized. In addition, depreciation on property and equipment used in oil and gas exploration and interest costs incurred with respect to financing oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized in accordance with full cost accounting. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0. All capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties subject to amortization are being amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects not subject to amortization are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded depletion of $88,733 and $19,611 on its properties. All other wells are incomplete as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Sale of Working Interests
The Company is also in the business of selling working interests to an investment group in Singapore. As the Company finds and purchases new properties, it makes arrangements to sell partial working interests to various individuals referred by the Singapore group. The revenues are recorded as operating revenues, net of any commission or other costs associated with earning the revenues. The related percentage of capitalized cost of the property sold is also removed from the oil and gas property account and offset against the proceeds to calculate the net revenue recorded in the operating revenues.
g.
Basic and Fully Diluted Income Per Share
The computation of basic and fully diluted income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, tax credit carry-forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
i.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures that materially increase useful lives are capitalized, while ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging as follows:
Vehicles
5 years
Computer equipment
3 years
Equipment
7 years
j.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, no impairments were recognized.
k.
Financial Instruments
The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term debt approximate their market values as of December 31, 2006. The Company has no investments in derivative financial instruments.

l.
Concentrations of Risk
Functional Currency & Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange existing at period end and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity, whereas, gains or losses relating from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Cash
The Company has, in its bank account, funds in excess of the $100,000 that is federally insured. In the event of the failure of the bank, the Company would sustain a loss of funds that exceed $100,000. At December 31, 2006, the amount of funds in a single account that exceeded the federally insured limit was $2,418,337. In addition, at December 31, 2006, a total of $1,221,719 of the Companys cash was being held by an outside company, which account accrues interest at 4.0% per annum.
m.
Newly Adopted Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilitiesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 125. SFAS 155 will be effective for all financial instruments issued or acquired after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management has no present expectation of issuing or acquiring any financial insuments likely to be affected by SFAS 155 in the foreseeable future.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. We must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the likely impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Correction of an Error
During the year ended December 31, 2006, management of the Company discovered an error related to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004, and three separate errors related to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The first error relates to a lease expense paid by a related company on behalf of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2005, totaling $194,384. This error caused lease operating costs to be understated by $194,384, with a corresponding overstatement of accounts receivable in the same amount as of December 31, 2005. The second error relates to funds received during 2004 and 2005 for the purchase of shares of the Companys common stock, shares which were later issued during the year ended December 31, 2006. Total funds received in 2004 and 2005, which should have been recorded as a stock deposit rather than a reduction in commission expense, totaled $520,911 and $310,714, respectively. The third error related to the recording of a stock subscription receivable, in error, as of December 31, 2005 for shares issued during 2005.
Accordingly, the Company has restated the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect these errors, along with an adjustment to estimated taxes payable as of December 31, 2004 and 2005. In addition, retained earnings as of December 31, 2004 is also being restated to reflect the above described error, related to funds received in 2004 for shares issued in 2006. The effect to the financial statements is as follows:

COMMON STOCK WARRANTS (Continued)
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, additional expense of $467,782 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005 under the Black-Scholes option pricing model for these warrants, which was calculated based upon the following assumptions:
Risk free interest rate | 2.89% - 3.25% |
Expected life | 1 to 2.42 years |
Expected volatility | 126.40% |
Dividend yield | 0.00% |
Note: A total of 2,000,000 of these options were granted to an employee of the Company, were issued at the market price of the Companys common stock on the date of issue and are accounted for under APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As such, no compensation expense was recognized. Had compensation cost for the issuance of the options been determined based on fair market value at the grant dates consistent with the method of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, our net income and income per share would have changed, as noted with the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Company has reserve studies and estimates prepared on the various properties acquired and developed. The difficulties and uncertainties involved in estimating proved oil and gas reserves makes comparisons between companies difficult. Estimation of reserve quantities is subject to wide fluctuations because it is dependent on judgmental interpretation of geological and geophysical data.

Standardized Measure of Discounted
Future Net Cash Flows Relating to
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.

The above schedules relating to proved oil and gas reserves, standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows have their foundation in engineering estimates of future net revenues that are derived from proved reserves and with the assumption of current pricing and current costs of production for oil and gas produces in future periods. These reserve estimates are made from evaluations conducted by Edward J. Chesny, Jr., P.E., of such properties and will be periodically reviewed based upon updated geological and production data. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise.
Subsequent development and production of the Company's reserves will necessitate revising the present estimates. In addition, information provided in the above schedules does not provide definitive information as the results of any particular year but, rather, helps explain and demonstrate the impact of major factors affecting the Company's oil and gas producing activities. Therefore, the Company suggests that all of the aforementioned factors concerning assumptions and concepts should be taken into consideration when reviewing and analyzing this information.
