|
|
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Castleguard Energy, Inc. as of September 30, 2000, and the related statements of income for the three and nine month periods and cash flows and stockholders' equity for the nine month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. |
|
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 reviews, 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 generally accepted accounting principles. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
|
|
Nine months ended September 30, 2000 |
|
|
|
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's improving operating results produced positive cash flow for the nine months of this year, and reduced the deficit from $398,905 at December 31, 1999, to $282,546 at September 30, 2000. The Company is in the process of growing through the acquisition of oil and gas interests (note 3) and intends to finance this growth through the issuance of common stock and external debt. Future operations are dependent on the Company's ability to obtain financing from share issuances and external debt to finance acquisitions of property and on its ability to achieve earnings from its acquired operations. |
|
|
|

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 |
|
Note 3 - Acquisition of Oil & Gas Interests |
During the third quarter, the Company acquired additional working interests in the Minden Field in Louisiana for $1,300,000, raising its interest from 31/2 to 5% to about 121/2 to 15%. The acquisition included interests in producing and non-producing properties and increased the Company's share of oil and gas sales. An additional well is in the process of being drilled with the Company's share of costs estimated to be $160,000 which the Company expects to pay from existing resources and future cash flows. |
|
|
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions |
The Company, in 1999, received oil and gas revenue and incurred lease operating expenses from properties owned by H & S Production, a company owned by the Chairman of the Board, totaling $17,155 and $30,824, respectively. At December 31, 1999, the Company owed H & S Production $14,387, relating to operating activities. |
|
|
During the year 2000 third quarter, the Company's Board of Directors, after considering costs of development and prospects therefrom, voted unanimously to sell the oil and gas leases and seismic data back to H & S Production for the consideration originally paid (1,500,000 of the Company's common shares and $50,000 in cash). No income (expense) effect resulted from the transactions. |

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL |
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
|
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 the Company'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 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward-Looking Information - Cautionary Statements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, 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 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 - Comparison of Three Month and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 |
|
Results of operations improved significantly in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter and the third quarter of 1999. Similarly, results for the nine months improved significantly from last year. Improvements were driven by higher commodity prices in this quarter and this year compared to the same periods last year and the prior quarter of this year and by higher production volumes in this quarter as well. Production volumes increased principally due to the acquisition in the third quarter of a larger working interest ( increasing from 31/2-5% to 121/2-15%) in the Minden Field in Louisiana. Increased oil and gas revenues were substantially in excess of operating costs; depreciation, amortization, and depletion; plus interest attributable to financing the acquisition. As a consequence, the Company reported net income for the three and nine months of this year compared to losses last year, and net income improved from the second quarter of this year by 233%. Reported oil volumes for the quarter were 579 barrels compared to 100 barrels last year at prices of $29.98 per barrel and $20.00 per barrel, respectively. Similarly, gas sales for the quarter aggregated 25,676 MCF compared to 1,381 MCF last year at $4.69 per MCF versus $3.53 per MCF, respectively. Operating results in 1999 were adversely affected by one-time costs of reorganizing and altering the Company's business to place it on its present course. |
|
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
Cash flow, before working capital changes, improved significantly in the third quarter and the Company successfully completed the acquisition and financing of a substantially larger working interest in its Minden Louisiana Field play. The increased participation should produce incremental cash flow in excess of debt service casts which will provide funding for the Company's share of additional development costs. |
|
|
Inflation and Changing Prices |
|
The impact of inflation, as always, is difficult to assess. During 1997 and 1998, the oil and gas industry remained depressed; however as of December 31, 1999, commodity prices had made a rebound and were consistently improving. This improvement has continued to increase in the third quarter of 2000. The general softening of the market prior to and into 1999 had reduced the cost of labor, materials, contract services, and other operating costs; therefore, the increase in commodity prices could cause an increase in operating costs. The Company cannot anticipate where cost and revenue trends will head; however, a sudden increase in inflation and/or an increase in operating costs coupled with a cessation of the current improved trend of oil prices could have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company. |
