REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

 

 

Board of Directors

Castleguard Energy, Inc.

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Castleguard Energy, Inc. as of June 30, 2000, and the related statements of income for the three and six month periods and cash flows and stockholders' equity for the six 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.

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 Periods Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

 

     Results of operations continued to improve in the second quarter of 2000 which, combined with the small loss in the first quarter, resulted in a slight net income ($20,455) for the first six months of this year compared to a loss of ($146,243). The improvement was driven by higher revenues from oil and natural gas attributable to increased production from the Company's interest in the Minden Dome in Louisiana and higher prices for such production. Revenues increased 488% in the quarter compared to 1999 and 348% for the six months over 1999. Operating results were also positively impacted by lower general and administrative costs in the year 2000 with 1999 experiencing one time costs of reorganizing and altering the Company's business. Excluding working capital changes, both quarters of 2000 were cash flow positive.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

    Although operating at a slight positive cash flow in the first half of 2000, ability to execute the Company's business plan will depend upon success in obtaining additional cash resources from sales of capital stock, sales of existing properties, or industry alliances to limit the Company's need to fund projects. Management believes future cash flows from existing properties will be adequate to fund current operating requirements.

 

 

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, oil prices had made a rebound and were consistently improving. This improvement has continued to increase in the second 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 oil 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.
