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, 2007, 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
2006 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
During the three months ended December 31, 2005 ("Q1FY06") AOC sold its
non-operated working interests in three producing oil and gas wells for
proceeds, net of selling expenses, of $206,000. During the remainder of fiscal
2006 ("FY06"), AOC sold substantially all of its remaining non-operated working
interests in producing oil and gas wells in Wyoming, all of its operated working
interests in producing oil and gas wells, all of its overriding royalty
interests in then producing oil and gas wells in Wyoming, and its interest in an
application for leases under the Combined Hydrocarbon Leasing Act of 1981 in the
Tar Sands Triangle Area of Utah for $2,387,000 cash, net of selling expenses.
The Company intends to invest the proceeds of the sales either in interests in
oil and gas properties or otherwise. There can be no assurance as to if and when
any such investment will be made. AOC retains small working and overriding
royalty interests in producing oil and gas wells in Utah and Wyoming.
Cash balances declined $189,000 from $5,140,000 at September 30, 2006, to
$4,951,000 at March 31, 2007, because, during the six months ended March 31,
2007, the company used $183,000 cash in operating activities and expended $6,000
cash on information technology. Current income taxes payable declined from
$51,000 at September 30, 2006, to nil at March 31, 2007, because the Company
paid $51,000 in income taxes during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Accrued
production costs at March 31, 2007, consist principally of accrued production
tax liabilities related to oil and gas sales recognized during FY06. Included in
other accrued expenses of $287,000 at September 30, 2006, and $282,000 at March
30, 2007, is an accrued bonus payable to the Company's president, pursuant to
his employment agreement (See below.).
Page 5 of 7
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 April 11, 2007,
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
The sales of AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties caused oil and
gas sales to decline from $318,000 in Q1FY06 to $7,000 in Q1FY07 and, therefore,
from $330,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006, to $10,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in cash balances resulting from the
sales of AOC's interests, together with higher interest rates, caused interest
income to increase from $50,000 in Q2FY06 to $62,000 in Q2FY07 and from $75,000
in the six months ended March 31, 2006, to $125,000 in the six months ended
March 31, 2007. In Q1FY06 the Company recognized a gain of $206,000 on the sale
of AOC's non-operated working interests in three producing oil and gas wells. In
Q2FY06 the Company recognized a gain of $2,324,000 on the sale of AOC's
remaining non-operated working interests in producing oil and gas wells in
Wyoming, all of its operated working interests in producing oil and gas wells,
and all of its overriding royalty interests in then producing oil and gas wells
in Wyoming.
The sales of AOC's interests in producing oil and gas properties caused lease
operating expense to decline from $113,000 in Q1FY06 to $1,000 in Q1FY07 and,
therefore, from $113,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006, to $2,000 in
the six months ended March 31, 2007. The sales of AOC's interests in producing
oil and gas properties caused production taxes to decline from $38,000 in Q1FY06
to $1,000 in Q1FY07 and, therefore, from $39,000 in the six months ended March
31, 2006, to $1,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2007. Pursuant to his
employment agreement, the Company's president is to receive a bonus equal to no
less than 10% of earnings before tax. Accordingly, the Company recorded accrued
bonus expense of $28,000 in Q1FY06 and $228,000 in Q2FY06. Excluding accrued
bonus expense, general and administrative expense was $113,000 in Q2FY06 and
Q2FY07 and increased from $228,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006, to
$234,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2007.
Net earnings decreased from $2,049,000 in Q2FY06 to a net loss of $52,000 in
Q2FY07 and from net earnings of $2,302,000 in the six months ended March 31,
2006, to a net loss of $106,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2007. 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. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from
$102,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2006, to net cash used in operating
activities of $183,000 in the six months ended March 31, 2007, principally
because a net loss, exclusive of gain on sale of assets, of $228,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 2006, was more than offset by the combination of a
decrease in accounts receivable of $135,000 and an increase in other accrued
expenses of $209,000, both direct results of asset sales during Q1FY06 and
Q2FY06.
Investing Activities. In the six months ended March 31, 2006, the Company
received proceeds from the sale of assets, net of selling expenses, of
$2,568,000, and, in the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company expended
$6,000 on information technology.
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 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.
